HOME I NSPECTIONS 11 Critical Home Inspection Traps To Be Aware Of

Weeks Before Listing Your Home For Sale Clinton County - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 Items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre- inspection yourself if you know what you are looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help home sellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report, call 1-800-282-1097 and enter ID#6003. You can call any time, 24/7. Call NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

‘Dine Out’ meets, exceeds goalBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — The numbers are stillcoming in, but early tallies show the United Wayof the Adirondack Region has met its most re-cent fundraising goal, thanks to the help of lo-cal restaurants and their patrons.

The first-ever Dine Out for the United Way ofthe Adirondack Region has raised more than its$2,000 goal to date, according to local UnitedWay administrative coordinator Kathy Snow.The Jan. 13 event involved a dozen restaurantsacross the tri-county region giving a percent oftheir proceeds or wait staff tips or making a flatdonation to the United Way.

“I think, for out first one, it was a success,”said Snow. “We still have five restaurants we’rewaiting on to report how much was given.”

Hearing that excited John C. Bernardi, execu-tive director of the local United Way.

“This was a great opportunity to really en-gage not only the restaurant community, but thecommunity at large in terms of individuals andfamilies dining out,” said Bernardi. “In additionto raising important funds for the community, itwas a great opportunity to promote our missionand the important impact we make throughoutthe region.”

Jill Brockway, owner of Charlie’s Inn in LakeClear, gave a flat donation of $50 to the UnitedWay through the event. Participating was some-thing Brockway said she was proud her busi-ness could do, considering how United Wayhelps organizations locally like Hospice of the

North Country and North Country Life Flight.“The money stays within our community ...

that means a lot,” she said. “That makes you feelgood.”

When Brockway’s mother-in-law suffered abrain aneurysm, it was North Country LifeFlight that airlifted her to Burlington, Vt., fortreatment. And, when snowmobilers get hurt onthe trails, the only way they can be reachedquickly is by one of North Country Life Flight’shelicopters.

“[North Country Life Flight] is important tous,” said Brockway, crediting the United Wayfor helping the organization. “That’s why I’mreally glad we were asked to participate. Hope-fully, next year it will get bigger and bigger.”

Laurie LaPointe, manager of Mainely Lobsterand Seafood in Plattsburgh, said her businesssaw a good turnout for the event, with peopleeager to do their part by simply dining out.

“We ended up with at least 20 to 25 peoplethat went here just for the United Way,” said La-Pointe. “We had many different people comehere just for [the event].”

The Plattsburgh business ended up present-ing the United Way with a flat donation of $100,which amounted to approximately 8 percent ofMainely Lobster ’s sales that day, said LaPointe.

“We enjoyed it and getting their name outthere for them,” she said. “It’s a great organiza-tion because they help a lot of different organi-zations.”

When a final total is completed, proceeds willbe divided among the more than 35 organiza-tions United Way provides funding for in Clin-ton, Essex and Franklin counties.

PLATTSBURGH — Peoplewant clean and healthy teeth, butwhat about when it comes to theirpet’s teeth?

As February is National PetDental Health Month, it may be atime to consider scheduling rou-tine dental visits for those furryfriends.

“An increase in client aware-ness and the pet industry hashelped. People want to spendmore for their pets,” PlattsburghAnimal Hospital manager CareyCrowningshield said.

Crowningshield added thosewho spoil their pets with toys andtreats, are likely to make sure theyhave healthy teeth as well.

A good time to start schedulingroutine dental visits for pets is ataround 6 years-old.

“A pre-anesthetic blood screen-ing will come first to rule out thebiggest complications,” Crown-

ingshield explained.Then, the animal is put under

anesthesia, while the doctorscales and polishes the teeth. Apet should have its teeth cleanedevery two years, depending onthe state of the teeth and/or theanimal’s health history.

“If [a pet] has good oral health,they tend to have good generalhealth,” she said.

Pet dental care is as importantfor animals, as it is for people.

“There is no way to avoid it,”Plattsburgh Animal Hospital vet-erinarian Thomas J. Brown Jr.said.

Brown said toxins from an ab-scess tooth can lead to infectionsthroughout the body, which canlead to more health issues.Dental problems are more com-mon in smaller breed dogs that eatmostly canned food rather thandry food. Animals can get bothtooth aches and cavities.

“The mouth is a source of infec-tion for the whole body,” he said.

Pet owners can reduce pethealth issues by scheduling rou-tine cleanings early on. They canalso contribute to their pet’s den-tal health right from home. Buy-ing dental toys, using stylized petbrushes, and/or trying to de-crease the amount of canned wetfood are just a few steps that canmake a big difference in their pet’sdental health, Crowningshieldsaid.

“There is a beef and liver fla-vored tooth paste as an abrasiveto brush their teeth,” Crowning-shield said.

Several local animal hospitalshave discounts to encourage petowners to schedule dental visitsfor their pet.

For the first time, PlattsburghAnimal Hospital will be offering a10 percent discount this Februaryfor dental exams and cleanings.

For more information on petdental care, contact your local vet-erinarian or Plattsburgh AnimalHospital 566-7387.

Pet dental care should be a priority for owners

Plattsburgh Animal Hospital veterinarian Thomas J. Brown Jr. gives animal patient “Wil-low” a dental examination. Brown stresses it is important for pets to have routine dentalexaminations just like their owners would with their own dentist.

Ihave a tiny green treefrog and it brings meluck.

Laugh if you like, but it’strue.

In fact, the tiny green treefrog of which I speak hashad mystical powers since itwas first bestowed upon meby my daughter at the tenderage of three.

I discovered the littleplastic replica jammed be-tween two seat cushions inmy pickup, in between acandy wrapper and a wad of discardedGummy Bears.

“Sweetheart, you forgot your toy,” I said,holding out the dime-sized frog to her as shedisembarked her flowered car seat. She tookit, turned it slowly in front of her face, thenoffered it back.

“I want you to have it, Daddy,” she saidsweetly, her long eyelashes batting away be-neath a woolen winter cap like Cindy LouWho from Dr. Suess’s How the Grinch StoleChristmas.

If that sequence of events doesn’t bestowmystical power on an inanimate object, I’mnot sure what will.

So, I slipped the tattered tiny green treefrog into a front shirt pocket and plopped akiss on my precious daughter ’s forehead.

“I shall cherish it forever,” I told her, notfully comprehending the complete signifi-cance of the statement.

From that moment forward, the luck em-anating from that tiny green tree frog hasbeen nothing short of miraculous.

Because of its near supernatural abilities,however, I have saved the tiny green treefrog’s mystical power for only the specialistof occasions.

Like hunting season.Oh, and brook trout season.And there was that one golf tournament

with my Dad, but I am sworn to secrecy onthat so as to uphold the sanctity of thematch.

Anyway ... the tiny green tree frog beganproving its mystical amphibian powers thevery first hunting season I carried it.

The year was 2006, and I entered deer sea-son with no more expectation than any oth-er year. I had failed to consider, though, oneserious ace in my corner. Or, more aptly, ashirtpocket hitchhiker in the form of a tinygreen tree frog.

As luck would have it, the season turnedout to be my best ever, starting with a slam-mer 140-class 11-pointer I shot with mymuzzlestuffer.

I would put a lot more bucks on the car-pet over the years with that tiny green treefrog in my shirtpocket, the most recent be-ing the monster 8-pointer I shot in Manito-ba this year.

The frog brought similar luck on theponds, affording me several four and evena few five-pound class brookies.

Afterward, it became tradition to photo-graph the tiny green tree frog with my tro-

phy — perched atop fin,feather or fur, whichever hap-pened to be the quarry of theday.

Needless to say, my magictree frog quickly became theenvy of my chums at huntingcamp.

So much so, they began try-ing to mimic the good luckcharm, showing up at campwith assorted items of theirown.

There was Harold with hisworn teddy bear from pre-school. Mike and his collec-

tion of Star Wars bobble head figures. Then Bob showed up wearing his

youngest son’s water wings.Oh how we chuckled.My ex-wife even reported a late-night

prowler going through her curbside trashreceptacle, hoping my daughter had dis-carded something lucky ... anything.

A lollipop stick. A hair tie. A half eaten ap-ple.

Anything.All he got, though, was a backside full of

rock salt. I knew teaching her to shootwould come in handy someday. Lucky forme, it was after we parted ways.

But, back to the lucky frog.I’m not sure how the tiny green tree frog

first landed in my daughter ’s possession. Perhaps it was once an enchanted galleon

passed from generation to generation, orig-inating in the time of powerful witchcraftand sorcery, of King Arthur and Camelot.

Too much of a stretch, you think?Well, more likely it has something to do

with the fact that I’ve carried it with me dur-ing almost every outdoor pursuit since mydaughter gave it to me five years ago.

I do know one thing, though.It definitely has more mystical power

than those foolish water wings.

Clinton CommunityCollege has been aVerizon NextStep

training facility since 2005.NextStep is a company spon-sored training program thatallows employees the oppor-tunity to earn a two-yeartelecommunications degreeby attending school oneworkday per week over afour-year, eight-semester pe-riod. Students come to Clin-ton from as far away as Wa-tertown to the west and Al-bany to the south.

We graduate our second class this Mayand start the third group in the fall with eachclass growing in size. I believe the growth isdirectly attributable to our reputation as agood school. Our first formal review oc-curred in 2009 with the outcome, accordingto the coordinators of the entire program,identifying Clinton as a top trainingprovider.

Verizon sponsors two events per year forall faculty members who teach within theNextStep program. The events are referredto as Faculty Institutes and they are academ-ic conferences that allow faculty to discusscurriculum issues and attend workshops.The institutes occur in January and Juneeach year. The June event is the larger of thetwo, with all faculty members, while in Jan-

uary the attendees are most-ly faculty who teach digitalor telecom courses and theprogram coordinators fromeach college.

Last week, I attended theJanuary event in Bedford,Mass. Having responsibilityfor both digital and telecomcourses I always have to de-cide which curriculumgroup to join during the dif-ferent sessions. Luckily, theprogram coordinator at Clin-ton attends every institute

and often monitors the sessions I cannot at-tend. The main focus of telecom workshopsthis year was video over IP, which I was hap-py to see because the NextStep curriculumhas gravitated toward extensive coverage ofboth voice and video over IP. It’s also per-sonally interesting as I consider switchingentirely to television programming deliv-ered via the Internet.

Tech Talk By Ron Poland

Health Insurance In-formation Coun-seling and Assis-

tance Program counselorshave been receiving a lot ofquestions and expressions ofconcern about the increase inMedicare Part B premiumswhen balanced with no costof living allowance, orCOLA, increase in Social Se-curity benefits for 2011.

The majority of peoplewith Medicare will not see anincrease in their Part B pre-mium. Many beneficiaries will continue topay the same premium they paid in 2010 fortheir Part B coverage ($96.40 or $110.50).This is due to a law that protects Medicarebeneficiaries who do not receive a Social Se-curity COLA from seeing an increase in PartB premiums which would decrease theirmonthly Social Security benefit.

Of course, there are exceptions. Your PartB premium will increase to $115.40 in 2011if you do not collect Social Security and payfor your Medicare Part B directly to SocialSecurity, you are a new enrollee to Medicarefor 2011, or if you are single and your ad-justed gross income is above $85,000 or mar-ried and your income is $170,000.

If you have chosen to have your Part DPrescription Drug Plan premium paid fromyour Social Security check and that premi-

um has increased, you willsee a subsequent decrease inyour Social Security benefitamount. There is no protec-tion against a Part D premi-um increase in years whenthere is no Social SecurityCOLA.

The following deductibleand coinsurance changestook effect Jan. 1:

• Part A Deductible:$1,132

• Part A Coinsurance: $283(Days 61-90), $566 (Lifetime

Reserve Days), $141.50 (Skilled Nursing Fa-cility)

In the dairy case, sales on butter brought theprice down 5 percent for the month, but thisitem is still 50 percent higher than this timelast year. Prices on skim and whole milk con-tinued to rise and are both higher than in 2009.A 24 percent drop on the price of sliced Amer-ican cheese kept the dairy category from in-

Other services providedinclude: facilitating networking for health andhuman services organizations, providing fo-rums on critical community issues, providingmeeting space for community groups and or-ganizations, and promoting healthy develop-ment of children and families. These servicesare possible due to the financial support fromthe United Way.

Thank you in advance forparticipating in this year's campaign. Togeth-er we make the North Country a better placeby supporting and helping one another.

December’s ‘Basket’ stable

Winter in the NorthCountry can be avery cruel time

for the home gardener. By thistime, my supply of homegrown produce stored in thehouse is quickly dwindling.The green beans, sweet pota-toes, and squash are all gone.All I have left to get methrough the winter is somefrozen berries, some potatoes,and garlic.

I will not run out of food. Itis 2011! I can easily go to thegrocery store down the street to buy more pro-duce, but that is different. Food grown in yourown family’s garden or from a local farmer isdifferent from the produce you can purchaseat the grocery store.

The varieties of tomatoes, squash, and oth-er summer vegetables available at the grocerystore in the winter are selected and grown be-cause they can withstand being shipped longdistances and are uniform in color, size, andshape. Beets or carrots grown locally are vari-eties that are most often chosen for their goodflavor and high nutritional values.

Besides tasting better, locally-grown foodssupports our local families and neighbors.Farmlands, and a way of life, are preservedwhen you purchase local products. And, thereis less air pollution produced from locally-grown food because the food isn’t beingshipped across the country.

You may think that it is acrazy idea, buying local pro-duce during the winter. But, itis rather easy. Production tech-niques allow farmers to growgreens year-round in struc-tures called high tunnels. Car-rots, beets, squash, apples, andother produce can be stored inroot cellars throughout mostof the winter.

One great place to find localfood is www.plattsburghfarm-ersmarket.com. It is a group oflocal producers who offer their

products — ranging from produce to local,grassfed meats, to baked goods — on-line.Costumers place an order and pick up theirproducts once a week at Rehoboth HomesteadFarms in Peru. For a small fee, the productscan be delivered, if the costumer lives withinthe designated delivery route.

Another place to look for local foods iswww.adirondackharvest.com. This webpageoffers locations to local farmers markets, farmstands, and stores and restaurants that carrylocal foods.

Knowing that locally-grown food is avail-able year-round is one simple way to remem-ber how quickly the new gardening seasonwill be here!

Studentsfind outwhat floatstheir boats By Sarah L. [email protected]

CHAZY — Students at Chazy CentralRural School spent Jan. 21 having fun inthe school pool — all in the name of edu-cation.

Engineering teacher Kyle Syck andphysics teacher Josh Wolosz, both first-year teachers at CCRS, worked togetheron a project for the students in their class-es — making boats out of householditems.

“The idea for the cardboard boat activ-ity came from Josh,” explained Syck. “Hehad done it at a school before and I alsosaw done in a district that I previouslyworked at. We both thought it would bea good activity for my principals of engi-neering class and his high school physicsclass.”

The students, split into seven groups ofthree or four, spent a few days designing

and preparing their boats. They receivedtwo 4x8 sheets of cardboard, three rolls ofduct tape, and a 1”x 6” x 6’ piece of pinewood.

“There are two objects for this activity.Well the first is obviously to construct aboat that floats out of the provided mate-rials. Then there are two testing criteria,”explained Syck.

The criteria is to try to have the fastestboat, and the best floating boat. Theteams were split into a heat of three anda heat of four. The results varied consid-erably, with one team making it down andback in just over a minute, and a few oth-er teams sinking before completing therace.

In terms of the best floating boat, Syckexplained “the weight load is tested byhaving one member sit in their boat, it

must stay afloat for 30 seconds. Then an-other student is added, so on and so forth,until the boat sinks.”

Students were weighed before the ac-tivity to determine how much weight isbeing added to each boat.

“For the competition, the winning boatheld approximately 400 pounds beforesinking,” said Syck.

In the end, Syck felt the activity was asuccess.

“Everything did go as planned. Stu-dents designed and constructed theirboats and I feel the tests went better thanexpected,” he said. “The only oversightwe had was the time allotted for testing.We thought it would take an hour or twoto test each boat in both categories. In ac-tuality, the testing was done in about 45minutes.”

But that was okay for the students, whospent the rest of the time enjoying thepool.

“All the students had a blast and I ac-tually had more than one student comeup and tell me how much fun they had,”said Syck. “It’s nice to see an idea like thiscome to fruition and the students learn somuch while having fun.”

The three winning teams are as follows:First place — Kirsten Doran, KathrynTooke, and Keith Bishop. Second place —Jordan Barriere, Addy LaDue, StephanieBrown, and Zach Desjardins. Third place— Ricky Osier, Miranda Oshier, TirzahRichmond, and Cheyenne Naples.

ADKYP to host fourth annual economic forum Feb. 10PLATTSBURGH — The Adirondack Young Professionals — a nonprofit organization

which focuses on creating networking opportunities for young professionals in the NorthCountry — will host its fourth annual economic forum Thursday, Feb. 10, at Olive Ridley’s,37 Court St.

Keri L. Mack, president of the ADKYP board of directors, said the forum will feature apanel of community leaders who will discuss various topics relating to quality of life issuesas they pertain to young professionals in our region.

“The purpose of the forum every year is to provide an outlet for young professionals inthe community to talk about issues relating to the economy that directly affects them,” saidMack.

The focus of last year ’s forum was on green issues and their relation to economic devel-opment, said Mack. That was timed with the focus of President Barack Obama on green ini-tiatives following his election in 2009.

“This year, we decided to focus more on quality of life issues,” said Mack. “We decidedthat is an area that a lot of young professionals are very interested in and that’s why peo-ple are moving here. We want to know why people are moving here, if people who live hereare happy with their decision to live here, what makes people stay here.”

The featured panelists this year will speak to their own experiences of being drawn to or

beginning a business in the North Country. Sharing their experiences and fielding questionsabout quality of life and economic development will be Rick Leibowitz, director of the NorthCountry Small Business Development Center; Erin Hynes, economic developer for The De-velopment Corporation; Kerry Haley, executive director of the Foundation of CVPH Med-ical Center; Nikki Wright, director of lending services with the Adirondack Economic De-velopment Corporation; and Josh Kretser, owner of pod studio.

This year ’s forum will be moderated by Jeremiah S. Papineau, senior editor for the Platts-burgh office of Denton Publications.

“I think that this year ’s format, and with Jeremiah Papineau as our moderator, it’s goingto be more interactive,” said Mack. “Before, we had more of a question and answer format.Now, we’ll have more of an open discussion, but will still have time for questions and an-swers.”

“I’m looking forward to this year ’s economic forum,” said Papineau, who oversees pro-duction of the ‘burgh and North Countryman, two weekly newspapers for Denton Publica-tions. “It gives members of the community a chance to hear from those really active in thelocal business community and to have their questions answered. Open dialogue like this isimportant to recruiting and retaining qualified workers in our region.”

The forum will begin at 5:30 p.m., ending at 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to thepublic. Light refreshments will be provided.

For more information, call 335-8125.

Sunrise Rotary gettingwacky with winterBByy JJeerreemmiiaahh SS.. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — The PlattsburghSunrise Rotary Club is gearing up foran event that’s been more than a yearin the making — though not intention-ally.

The club’s first-ever Wacky WinterCarnival was supposed to be held lastyear at May Currier Park but, due toextremely frigid temperatures, wascanceled, explained event chair JoanSterling.

“We had it all planned but it endedup being on the coldest day of theyear,” said Sterling. “So, we were ableto use a lot of the same stuff from lastyear.”

Though the date of the event

changed, the idea behind it hasn’t, saidSterling. Rotarians wanted then andstill seek to host an event for familiesto enjoy together, in the great out-doors.

“We were concerned with the healthand well-being of our families and ourchildren,” explained Sterling. “So, wethought why not plan a wonderful freewinter carnival day where kids andtheir families can get out and enjoysome exercise and be healthy.”

During the planning of this year ’sevent, the administration of CVPHMedical Center offered use of the hos-pital’s front lawn off Beekman Street,providing a larger venue within thecity to host the carnival’s activities.

“It takes the event to a whole otherlevel that we’re really excited about,”said committee member JoanneKnowlton.

The carnival, which will be hosted

from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 5,will include horse-drawn wagon ridesaround the hospital campus, sledding,ice skating, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The best part about thesnowshoeing and cross-country skiingactivities is they will be offered withinstruction at 12 and 2 p.m., for thosewho are interested, said Knowlton.

“With some kids, this will be theirfirst introduction to outdoor sportsthey can really use for the rest of theirlives. I just think that’s really cool forSunrise Rotary to be doing,” saidKnowlton, adding instruction for iceskating will be held throughout theevent.

The day will also include snowsculpting, wheelbarrow races and afrying pan toss. Yes, a frying pan toss.

“Originally, it was going to be toss-ing frying pans, and the more andmore we talked about it, the more and

more we got nervous,” Knowlton saidwith a chuckle. “We’re still going tohave frying pans, but, instead, we’regoing to be having people use them totoss pancakes to each other. I thinkthat’ll be fun because it’ll be somethingevery age group can do.”

However, the fun won’t just be out-side, noted Sterling. Inside CVPH, inthe hallway near the hospital’s cafete-ria, tables will be set up where childrenand their families can make all sorts ofcrafts, including pine cone bird feed-ers.

“There will be a lot of different craftsinside and even just a place for peopleto come in to get warm for a little bit,”said Sterling. “We’re going to have freehot chocolate and coffee.”

The CVPH cafeteria will also beopen for people to purchase otheritems, if they wish, she added.

“I just think it’s going to be so excit-

ing and I think the community is justgoing to love it,” said Sterling.

The day won’t end with the carnival,however. Rotarians have also planneda tree lighting that night at 7 p.m. at theNorth Country Cultural Center for theArts, 23 Brinkerhoff St. Red lights willbe lit on the tree in honor of “Go Redfor Women,” another initiative sup-ported by the Plattsburgh Sunrise Ro-tary Club.

The tree lighting event, headed upby Rotarian Shirley O’Connell, will in-clude a performance by the Platts-burgh State Gospel Choir, with a freewine tasting and hors d’oeuvre recep-tion to follow. The evening will also in-clude the unveiling of a “lady in red,”a life-size replica of the Go Red forWomen red dress logo.

Annual Winterfestreturns Feb. 4-6BByy JJeerreemmiiaahh SS.. [email protected]

WEST PLATTSBURGH — Whenwinter comes, it’s only a matter oftime before one of the biggest wintercelebrations comes along — theAmerican Legion Post 1619 Winter-fest.

Irene Rock, one of the organizersfor the annual event, said it takes sev-eral weeks for a band of dedicatedvolunteers to plan and prepare for thethree-day celebration, typically heldthe first weekend in February.

“It’s great how everyone comes to-gether to make it a success,” saidRock. “We’ve been working steady

since before Christmas but it’s notbad, because everybody wants tohelp. It’s just amazing.”

Winterfest will once again kick offwith a fish fry from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday,Feb. 4, followed by an opening cere-mony featuring guest speakers and aperformance by the American LegionPost 1619 Color Guard.

What will add to the entertain-ment, said Rock, will be a new fire-works show, performed by Dr. JoeClauss, a licensed pyrotechnic.

“He says it’s going to be a show theNorth Country has never seen be-fore,” said Rock. “It’s going to bepretty cool.”

The annual Winterfest Dance,which includes the crowning of aking and queen for the event, will fol-low, rounding out the night.

The following day, Saturday, Feb.5, festivities will kick off at 11 a.m.,

with free, family-oriented activitiesincluding open skating, sledding,hockey, broomball games and a curl-ing competition. Horse-drawn wag-on rides will be offered from 12 to 3p.m. The remainder of the day will in-clude 50/50 drawings, raffles andlive entertainment. Festivities willcontinue Sunday, Feb. 6, beginningagain at 11 a.m.

“It’s going to be a fun weekend,”said Rock.

Free hot chocolate and coffee willbe served. The post will also offer hotdogs, michigans, hamburgers,cheeseburgers, French fries, chili,clam chowder and other selectionsfor $1 each. Proceeds from the week-end will go the Veterans AssistanceFund, which helps veterans through-out Clinton County pay for expenseslike fuel oil and transportation to andfrom doctors’ appointments. The

event helps veterans each year, saidRock, who added they are the oneswho help the post give back to thecommunity.

“This is an opportunity to get thecommunity together and see our Le-gion isn’t just a bunch of old soldierssitting at the bar. We do stuff for thecommunity and help any way wecan,” said Rock.

And, for those who have neverbeen to Winterfest, Rock said thisyear is just as good a year as any.

“It’s a chance to come out and havesome fun. Bring your mother, your fa-ther, your sister, brother, uncle —anybody — and just enjoy the day,”said Rock. “It’s a great weekend forfamilies to enjoy themselves withoutspending a ton of money.”

Where do I park? How can I help?

Organizers ask those attending thePlattsburgh Sunrise Rotary Club WackyWinter Carnival to park in the medicaloffice building parking lot off CorneliaStreet, which provide the closest accessto the registration tables.

“It’s really important they park therebecause we want to make sure that thepeople who come to the hospital to vis-it or who need to come in have their park-ing,” said event chair Joan Sterling.

Signs will also be posted directingpeople where to go.

Those coming to the event are alsoencouraged to bring nonperishable fooditems to be donated to local foodpantries.

“If people choose to bring something,great, if they don’t, that’s okay, too,” saidSterling.

THE LAW YOUTH AGES 14 THROUGH 17 years old may operate a snowmobile, on lands upon which snowmobiling is allowed, without adult or other supervision if they have completed a snowmobile safety training course recognized by the State of New York. If youth ages 14 through 17 years have not completed the training course, they may operate a snowmobile if accompanied by (within 500 feet of) a person who is at least 18 years of age. YOUTH AGES 10 THROUGH 13 may operate a snowmobile, on lands upon which snowmobiling is allowed, if they have completed a snowmobile safety training course recognized by the State of New York and are accompanied by (within 500 feet of) a person who is at least 18 years of age. CHILDREN LESS THAN AGE 14 without a safety certificate may operate a snowmobile only on lands owned or leased by their parent or guardian.

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL • Write down where you are going, your route, time of departure and return. Ensure your snowmobile i s in good working

condition, lots of gas and oil for your trip, spare drive belt and spark plugs.

• You should never travel alone, always try to find a partner to travel with.

• Ensure you dress properly. Clothing should be put on in layers. If you become too hot and your clothing traps the moisture, you will become cold. Cotton is inappropriate as it does not wick

moisture but rather stays wet. Try wearing Wool, Polypropylene, or Polar Fleece. Outer layers should be water repellent and wind proof. For this, nothing is better than Gore-Tex.

• Anyone operating or riding on a snowmobile in New York State must wear an approved safety helmet except when operating on

property owned by the operator or passenger.

• Do not drink and drive. Alcohol is involved in 70% of

snowmobiling related deaths. Alcoholic beverage consumption,

combined with riding after dark are the leading causes of snowmobile related deaths.

• Ensure headlights and taillights are working and free of snow.

Women share survival stories from the heartBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — Though theirstories are different, the tie thatbinds Stephanie Orsmby and Gin-ger Zimmerman is that they neversaw coming the serious heart prob-lems they one day encountered.

During the annual Go Red forWomen dinner, hosted by the Amer-ican Heart Association Jan. 19,Ormsby, a 54-year-old woman fromPeru, and Zimmerman, a 47-year-old woman from Rochester, sharedtheir heartfelt stories of what havebeen some of the scariest times intheir lives.

Ormsby was 49 years old whenshe was going about her day likeany other, getting ready for her jobas a teaching assistant at Peru Inter-mediate School.

“I got up, I fed the dog, I took himout, checked my school e-mail, andmade my lunch. Everything wasfine,” she said.

However, when she was makingher bed, she felt “an intense, sharpburning pain” in her chest, betweenher shoulder blades and down theinside of her left arm.

“At first I tried to ignore it, butsomething was telling me this wasnot normal,” Ormsby said.

She called the school to say shewouldn’t be in that day, and then

called her husband, who rushedhome from work to check on her.Soon, Ormsby found herself beingtransported to the hospital by am-bulance. It was there she found outshe had had a heart attack.

It wasn’t long before she waswheeled into the operating room tohave four stints placed into one ofher heart’s arteries.

“The artery was so small, that[the doctor] didn’t realize it was anartery at first. It was 100 percentplugged although there was noplaque in any other arteries,” shesaid. “To this day, they still don’tknow what caused my heart attack.That is the scariest thing.”

When Zimmerman was 32 yearsold, she was being treated for bron-chitis when she began coughing upblood. It was then she realized therewas more to her health problems.

“I was desperate to find an an-swer,” Zimmerman said. “It was ob-vious something was terriblywrong.”

When she visited a hospital emer-gency room, it was found she washaving “full-blown congestiveheart failure,” Zimmerman said.

“My heart was functioning atbarely 15 percent,” she said.

When she asked her physicianhow long she had to live, offering ayear as a suggestion, she was toldshe couldn’t even be promised an-

other day.“He then explained my only hope

was heart transplant,” she said.Zimmerman went ahead with the

procedure. When a heart was final-ly secure for her, Zimmerman’s hus-band, David, rushed to be by herside for the operation. He had beenworking in the Gulf of Mexico as anoff-shore surveyor and had to takea helicopter flight out to reach her.However, the helicopter had tomake an emergency landing alongthe way.

“He actually arrived just minutesbefore I went into surgery,” recalledZimmerman.

But, something was not right.Zimmerman’s husband was show-ing signs of whiplash, though hedownplayed it, she said. It wasn’tuntil Zimmerman was successfullyout of her surgery she learned herhusband suffered a tear to an arteryin his brain — one that would be fa-tal.

“David died nine days after mytransplant,” she said.

The loss of her husband left Zim-merman wondering if her new heartwould have the strength to go on.

“‘Could my new heart take thispain and grief,’” Zimmerman saidshe remembers asking herself.

It did. In fact, Zimmerman hascontinued to exceed her doctors’ ex-pectations of her to live only about

eight years after her surgery.“I’ve drawn on every ounce of

faith and courage I had to getthrough this for our three youngsons,” said Zimmerman, who notedit has now been 13 years since hersurgery.

Has it been easy over the years?Zimmerman will tell you no.

“I know that I can’t I’ve each dayin fear,” she said, adding it’s beencathartic for her to tell her story toothers, in the hopes that they takeseriously even the smallest sign of ahealth-related issue.

“I’ve always thought of myself asa healthy person. I’ve always eatenhealthy. My blood pressure and cho-lesterol have always been perfect. Ihave no family history and I don’tdrink or smoke and my weight hasbeen the same since high school,”said Ormsby. “But, at 49 years old, Ihad a heart attack.”

‘The most important thing thatI’ve learned is how importantknowledge of women’s heart healthis,” said Ormsby. “Listen to yourbody. It could save your life.”

MORRISONVILLE — There’s noreason to be afraid of spiders — atleast these ones.

Jar ’d Spiders, a local grunge cov-er band, has been gaining populari-ty in the area over the past few years.The band was initially the brain-child of brothers Steven and CodyStansbury of Peru, who had beenplaying lead guitar and drums, re-spectively, for years. Rhythm gui-tarist and vocalist Evan Ormsby ofSchuyler Falls joined the two in 2006and, soon after, bassist R.J. Reyell ofBeekmantown came on board. Jar ’dSpiders was complete.

However, that wasn’t always theband’s name.

“When Steve and Cody originallystarted the band, they went underthe name ‘Shades of Seven,’” ex-plained Ormsby. “But, when theband began to grow into a more sol-id structure, they decided that withthe addition of me they wanted aband name that represented all of usall as individuals as well as bandmembers.”

Jar ’d Spiders was a name the

Stansbury brothers felt best repre-sented the way each felt because“we always felt like a spider in anaquarium, like we were just livingeveryday waiting to be fed and al-ways watching from the inside outas the world moves by,” said Orms-by. “Everything changed when wegot together and started playing onstage, we broke down the walls andunleashed the energy that we all hadinside.”

The band plays mainly covers, be-ing greatly influenced by the ‘90sSeattle grunge scene that fadedaway with the untimely death ofNirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.Grunge acts like Nirvana, Bush, TheFoo Fighters, and Mudhoney andpunk acts like The Ramones and theearly years of Green Day have in-spired the musical style of Jar ’d Spi-ders. Heavy metal and rock acts likePantera and Avenged Sevenfoldhave also lent inspiration to them,said Ormsby.

“I feel our music greatly standsout, because the music scene aroundhere consists of many great metal,country, and rock bands, but grungeis a generation that grew up and dis-appeared, but in our hearts it neverwent anywhere,” he said.

The band’s first gig was at the for-mer Koinonia Center on Elm Streetback in 2007, playing with a few oth-er local bands, said Ormsby.

“Even though there was only likeseven or eight people there, thosefew people were really enjoying ourmusic,” he said. “Seeing peopledancing because of what we wereplaying was a great feeling for usand it gave us the confidence to bethe band we are today.”

Since then, Jar ’d Spiders hasplayed other smaller venues like theVeteran of Foreign Wars Post 1466 inBeekmantown and Marrow’s Storein Altona, but has even been offeredto play a few showcase shows at

Higher Ground in Burlington, Vt.,“Which is a huge honor for us,”

said Ormsby.However, the four still really en-

joy playing this side of the lake, headded.

“As a band, we all aspire tobranch out and get our name spreadto other places and other people, butPlattsburgh is our home and thepeople here are our friends,” saidOrmsby. “It is a small town but itmakes being heard easy, and it is al-ways awesome when we look outand see all of our families listeningto us and dancing to our music be-cause its all of our families that sup-ported us and help us get gigs as

well as get to them. Without ourfamilies, we would not be the bandwe are today.”

The band is still trying to find its“musical footing,” said Ormsby,with the hopes of one day recordingan album of their own music, but un-til then, the four are “very content”with where they are as a band. Whathas them excited, though, is an up-coming show at Cocktails in Mor-risonville, where they’ll be joined bybands like Muffy and the Schwet-tbutts, Sappy, and others.

“We’re all very excited to be incharge of putting on such a newevent,” said Ormsby, adding theidea is to reestablish a grunge rockfollowing. “It is a change in theknown music scene because a major-ity of the world has forgotten aboutgrunge, and the bands that made the‘90s so unique ... Sure, grunge bandsare not in huge demand, but wehope that with the more shows weschedule, the more popular theywill be in the future.”

(Editor’s Note: Jar’d Spiders willperform at Cocktails next Saturday,Feb. 5, from 2 to 8 p.m. Check out theband on-line on MySpace and Reverb-Nation.)

PLATTSBURGH — Two chapters of theOrder of the Eastern Star will be hosting aValentine Craft Show to help raise money forvarious causes.

The two chapters, Miramichi in WestChazy and Mount Hermon in Ellenburg, willbe working together for the craft show,which will be held Saturday, Feb. 5, from 10a.m. to 3 p.m. at the American Legion Post20 on Quarry Road.

“We did this last year at the same placeand it worked out for us,” said Miramichimember and organizer Priscilla Rathbun.“So we’re trying it again.”

Rathbun explained the OES main homeand campus is in Oriskany, and they arefighting to keep it open.

“Our job is just to keep that home,” shesaid. “They have lost quite a bit of money.We had investments, when the stock marketwent down. Each of the chapters throughoutNew York State, different ones have beenputting different things on to help withthat.”

However, OES raises money for many oth-er causes as well.

“We support the wounded veterans’ or-ganization, this year our special fundraiseris for Alex’s Lemonade Stand, which is forfinding a cure for childhood cancer,” ex-plained Marcia Boling, member and organ-izer with Mount Hermon.

This year there are already 21 tablessigned up, including people selling jewelry,quilts, watercolors and candles. Rathbun’shusband, Robert Rathbun, a former shopteacher at Chazy Central Rural School, willalso be selling his wooden creations.

“It’s a very good variety,” said Boling.If interested in being a part of the craft

show, contact Boling at 425-0157.“It’s an opportunity to show their work

and to meet other crafters,” she said.“There’s a lot of hospitality and friendli-

ness amongst the people who are there andI think [people] would enjoy seeing the dif-ferent crafts,” added Rathbun.

The craft show will also feature baskets tobe raffled off, including a wine basket, bookbasket, and breakfast basket. Tickets are onefor $1 or eight for $5.

Healthy Schools NY program. The grant will benefit Clinton, Franklin, Essex and Hamilton counties, “to help schools

develop comprehensive health and wellness policies in the areas of tobacco, physical activ-ity, and nutrition,” Derusha explained.

She has already begun to work with Northern Adirondack Central and Peru Central inClinton County; AuSable Valley School in Essex County; Malone Central in Franklin Coun-ty; and are hoping to begin work with Wells Central School in Hamilton County.

“What we do is we go in and take a look at the policies they have now and try to see whatwe can do to make those policies stronger,” said Derusha. “We’ve seen the obesity rate inchildren, as well as adults, in this country rising and that’s happening in New York State,just like everywhere else. So we want to address that.”

In terms of physical activity, although it is a state mandate to meet certain requirements,Derusha said some schools are unable to do so.

“With everything else they’ve got do and staffing and budget issues that come into playwith that,” she said. “So it can be difficult.”

Derusha said some mini-grants should be available for the schools to help with these typesof issues.

The overall goal of the program is chronic disease prevention — changing the habits whilethe students are still young, to avoid serious health issues in the future.

“We know that things like heart disease and stroke and cancer and diabetes ... they’re alllinked to lack of physical activity, poor nutrition and tobacco use,” explained Derusha. “Ifwe can eliminate those major risk factors, we would see an 80 percent decrease in heart dis-ease, 80 percent decrease in stroke, 80 percent decrease in type II diabetes, and a 40 percentdecrease in cancer.”

However, some of the health problems are already being seen in youngsters.“We’re starting to see type II diabetes, which used to only be seen in adults, we’re start-

ing to see that in young people now,” she said. “So even though there are medications, that’snot the way we want to see people going at such a young age.”

Schools were contacted by CCHD to complete a survey. Derusha said the current schoolsworking with the program were chosen by that survey, but all schools have the option totake part.

PLATTSBURGH — When Gracelyn C. Murphylost her courageous battle with metastatic breastcancer four years ago, little did she know she’dleave behind a gift that would help bring smilesto the faces of many children.

Murphy’s collection of hundreds of Ty BeanieBabies, which she had been assembling for sever-al years until she passed away in October 2006,was given to CVPH Medical Center last year. Theposthumous donation was one that was ultimate-ly decided would help ease the nerves of childrenin the hospital’s Alice T. Miner Center for Womenand Children.

Children who visit the pediatrics unit, ex-plained director Maria Hayes, are sometimesnervous, and having a friend as small as a BeanieBaby can make a world of difference.

“When a child comes into a hospital, they canbe so scared,” said Hayes. “There are so many peo-ple who are strangers to them. They can get stuckwith needles. So, any type of normalcy we can in-troduce to make them feel better is great.”

The trove of small, stuffed animals, hasn’t runout even several months after the donation wasgiven to the hospital, said Hayes. That means a lotto Murphy’s daughter, Cam Brown of Ticondero-ga.

“When my mother passed away four years ago,she had these large Rubbermaid totes, filled withBeanie Babies,” recalled Brown. “She was alwaysbuying Beanie Babies. I remember when my niecewas little, she would spend summers with mymom and they’d just go shopping for Beanie Ba-bies.”

“When they would come visit me in Ticondero-ga, they would need to go to Chestertown becausethere might be Beanie Babies there that theywouldn’t have in Plattsburgh,” she added.

Knowing the dedication and heart her motherput into the collection and how the collection to-day continues to help children is something thatmeans the world to Brown.

“My mother was a bus driver. She loved kids.She had three of her own and four grandchildren,”said Brown. “We were her world. I know that shewould be really excited about the fact her BeanieBabies are being used to touch the lives of chil-dren.”

The Beanie Babies also serve a special functionin the hospital’s nursery, where smaller babies canbe positioned in their hospital carts using the tinystuffed animals as pillows, said Hayes.

“They’re the only product that can go throughthe sterilization process,” said Hayes, who onceworked in a tertiary facility with a 46-bed neona-tal intensive care unit, where Beanie Babies wereused on a regular basis, on a larger scale. “So, adonation of Beanie Babies is phenomenal. And,any donation we get that can put a smile on achild’s face, especially a sick child, means theworld.”

“It means a lot to see that whether it’s throughus children, her grandchildren, or the things thatshe has done, like this, that she can impact lives,even though she’s not here anymore,” Brown saidof her mother. “It’s the legacy she left.”

Cam Brown of Ticonderoga and her nephew, Kyle Murphy of Peru, look on as Connor LaMora, a patient at CVPH MedicalCenter’s Alice T. Miner Center for Women and Children, holds a Beanie Baby he received. The stuffed animal was from a col-lection once owned by Brown’s mother, the late Gracelyn C. Murphy.

PLATTSBURGH — Mountain Lake PBShas received a national award for “DeadReckoning: Champlain in America.”

The public television station won its firstNational Educational TelecommunicationsAssociation Award for Content Productionfor the 2010 documentary during NETA’sannual conference held recently inNashville, Tenn.

Colin Powers, director of productionand programming for Mountain Lake PBS,accepted the award on behalf of the localPBS station, calling its an honor “comingfrom a group of peers in the television in-dustry.

“I was happy to be the face of the stationaccepting the award,” he said. “I was cer-tainly involved in every aspect of the proj-ect, but I accepted it on behalf of thedozens of people here and our partneringorganizations who made this happen. Youdon’t do a production of any scale withouta lot of teamwork and when you get intothis kind of complexity, it’s a big, big col-laboration with a lot of people.”

“Dead Reckoning: Champlain in Ameri-ca,” is an hour-long, state-of-the-art ani-mated documentary produced by Moun-tain Lake PBS detailing the exploration of

North America by Frenchman Samuel deChamplain. The project — produced inrecognition of the Hudson-Fulton-Cham-plain Quadricentennial marked last year— was a bold leap for Mountain Lake PBS,which has traditionally produced docu-mentaries featuring live actors, said Pow-ers.

“This was really stepping out for PBSinto an area that it hasn’t typically ad-dressed,” he said. “The key was to do thatwithout turning off our more mature audi-ences who are used to a reenactment-typedocumentary.”

“The response has been very enthusias-tic,” he added.

The advantage of producing an animat-ed documentary, said Powers, was that itgave creators more creative license withputting people back in the time of Cham-plain during the early 1600s.

“It had much more attention to detailthan we would have ever been able to doif we had reenacted it,” said Powers.“Everything you see in the film has beenmeticulously researched and cross-checked, whether it’s the exact firearmsbeing used or the utensils or the buildingsthemselves or even more subtle things likebody types.”

The advantage of an animated documen-tary could also be felt in that station’spockets, said Powers.

“If we were to have done this as a liveaction production, we would be talkingmany millions of dollars,” he said. “Weproduced this film for less than a half-mil-lion dollars and in under a year.”

NETA commended Mountain Lake PBSfor combining its documentary with abilingual companion Web site, www.cham-plaininamerica.org, which contains lessonplans which meet New York State and Na-tional Learning Standards to assist teach-ers in using “Dead Reckoning: Champlainin America” in the classroom.

“From the very beginning, we recog-nized we were going to be able to do much,much more and go into much greater depthon the Web site than we were ever going tobe able to do in an hour,” said Powers.

Combining the documentary with theWeb site and a writing contest for studentsduring the Quadricentennial has helpedpaint an overall picture of how Champlainhas had a lasting impact on the region, saidPowers.

“Champlain’s story is one we can’t cele-brate enough,” said Powers. “It needs toconstantly be trumpeted.”

(Editor ’s Note: “Dead Reckoning: Cham-plain in America” is available for $19.95through Mountain Lake PBS by visitingwww.mountainlake.org or www.champlaini-namerica.org.)

CHAZY/WILLSBORO — Taking a pagefrom the highly successful merger betweenthe Section VII and Section X football teams,the Mountain and Valley and ChamplainValley Athletic Conference (MVAC) willmerge leagues for the 2011-12 soccer season.

The two-year trial was developed throughSection VII soccer chairman Rob McAuliffe,head coach of the state champion Chazyboys soccer team.

“There could be some tweaks, but the for-mation of the schedule is done and the pro-posal has been approved by both the MVAC,CVAC and Section VII,” McAuliffe said. “Iput a proposal together in the spring andshared it with other schools because wethought that this was a way to solve some ofthe problems the section was having.”

McAuliffe said two main concerns includ-ed the declining enrollment in some schoolsthat forced either consolidation or elimina-tion of soccer programs and the lack of com-petitive balance in certain divisions withinthe MVAC and CVAC.

“One of the big points was the level of

competition in both leagues,” McAuliffesaid. “Both leagues were experiencing somevery lop-sided scores. Under this new for-mat, you get schools playing schools of sim-ilar size and ability.”

The new soccer uber-league will havethree divisions, the first comprising of allClass B teams (AuSable Valley, Beekman-town, Northeastern Clinton, Peru, Platts-burgh, Saranac and Saranac Lake), the sec-ond of northern Class C and Class D pro-grams (Lake Placid, Northern Adirondack,Seton Catholic, Chazy, Elizabethtown-Lewis, Willsboro and Westport for boys;Lake Placid, Northern Adirondack, SetonCatholic, Ticonderoga, Moriah, Chazy, Eliz-abethtown-Lewis and Willsboro for girls)and a third division of southern Class Dschools (Crown Point, Indian Lake/LongLake, Johnsburg, Keene, Minerva/New-comb, Schroon Lake and Wells for boys;Crown Point, Indian Lake/Long Lake, West-port, Keene, Minerva/Newcomb, SchroonLake and Wells for girls). Westport movesfrom Division II to Division III in girls soc-

cer to make room for Moriah and Ticondero-ga, who do not have boys soccer programs.

“We are looking to see if the geographicalschedule is going to work,” Karen Lopez, di-rector of Section VII, said. “There is a hopethat this new league is going to save ontransportation and time both on the bus andaway from school for the districts.”

“I think that this is going to be great,”Steven Broadwell, Willsboro Central Schoolsuperintendent and president of the MVACsaid. “This shows a collaborative effort be-tween all of the schools in the north countrythat looked at this in terms of the best inter-ests of soccer in the region, and I think thatthis is going to be very good for the sport inthis area.”

McAuliffe said that the new league formatwill also ensure that teams will have enoughgames to fill out a schedule.

“Many MVAC schools were having trou-ble getting games outside the league sched-ule,” McAuliffe said. “This will give allteams a solid schedule of around 14 games.As a whole, this is the best thing for our sec-

tional soccer teams.”Lopez said that the two-year trial for the

new soccer league is similar to what the sec-tion did when it went into a partnership withSection X to create the Northern Conferencefor football, which has sent several teamsdeep in to the regional playoffs, includingtwo-time state finalist Moriah and state fi-nalist Ticonderoga.

“We will look at this at the end of twoyears and see if it has done everything thatwe were looking to accomplish,” Lopez said.“We are at the point where we wanted to trythis because a lot of the benefits do makesense. This is a healthy thing to look at forthe section and for our school districts.”

The new schedule would not feature anyleague championship games, with divisiontitles determined only by the record withinthe set league schedule. Seeding for theClass B and Class C soccer tournamentswould be determined by games within theirown classification.

“We are still working out things like howall star teams would be assigned and howtiebreakers would be handled, but we are ex-cited for this upcoming season,” McAuliffesaid.

MVAC to return to two-division format for basketball, spring ballBy Keith [email protected]

WILLSBORO — The days of three-divisionformat in the Mountain and Valley AthleticConference (MVAC) will soon be a memory.

The MVAC will return to a two-divisionformat with the coming 2011-12 season, withthe exception of the fall soccer season, whichwill be part of the new merged league be-tween the MVAC and Champlain Valley Ath-letic League (CVAC).

“It will be a little different than before, butwe are going back to the two-division for-mat,” said Steven Broadwell, Willsboro Cen-tral School Superintendent and President ofthe MVAC. “There has been a lot of compro-mise and a lot of forethought that goes intothe scheduling of the season and in the deci-sion to go back to the two-division league.”

In basketball, Division I will include LakePlacid for boys, along with Chazy, Willsboro,Westport, Elizabethtown-Lewis and SchroonLake. Division II would include CrownPoint, Indian Lake/Long Lake, Keene,

Johnsburg, Minerva-Newcomb and Wells.During baseball and softball season,

Crown Point would jump from Division II toDivision I.

Teams would play two games versus divi-sion opponents and one game versus thenon-divisional teams for a 16-game regularseason schedule in basketball and a 13 gamesregular season schedule in baseball and soft-ball.

Broadwell said that part of the changecame from declining school enrollmentsforcing the elimination of some programs by

schools.“When you have only two schools with a

team in a division, then that’s really not a di-vision,” Broadwell said. “This change was anecessity based on the fact that we hadschools that were not fielding teams.”

Broadwell said that the league is still look-ing at whether or not they would continuethe practice of having a league champi-onship game.

“Overall, the changes we have made havebeen good for the MVAC schools collective-ly,” Broadwell said.

PLATTSBURGH — What does bullying reallymean?

That’s precisely what a panel of Clinton Coun-ty educators, mental health officials and commu-nity members gathered to discuss Jan. 19.

The group gathered at the West Side Ballroomto talk about the definition of bullying and howthe community, as well as educators, can cometogether to prevent it.

The discussion, dubbed “Bullying: A Commu-nity Conversation,” was sponsored by The Mo-bilization for Action through Planning and Part-nership/Mental Health Community EducationCommittee and Champlain Valley Physician’sHospital.

MAPP began as a group that mostly workedwith suicide-related issues, but found a correla-tion between suicidal depressions and bullying,

Behavioral Health Services and MAPP commit-tee member Bonnie Black said.

“Bullying was some place we needed to goeventually,” said Black.

Black said those who are bullied usually havea thin shell against negative attention.

“It’s a wound to the heart, the soul, the ego,”she said.

She also provided a definition in her slideshow of bullying that stated it as a repeated neg-ative action towards one or more people whohave a hard time defending themselves.

Although the presentation mostly focused onbullying in schools, bullying is everywhere andcan happen directly to a person or through elec-tronic devices, such as computers and cellphones. Bullying can happen in schools, in thework place, and in the home, so everyone has totake action to stop it, Black said.

“This is not just schools, this is not just healthproviders, it’s the parent’s [responsibility],” shesaid.

According to the health officials and educa-tors involved, more action has been takenagainst bullying since the first lecture in Octo-ber 2009. Some progress has been made, but it’shas been a complicated task for everyone in-volved.

“We are all learning in the process,” Beekman-town Central School counselor Dan Bobbett said.

The lecture ended with open forum when au-dience members asked the panel of educatorsfrom Beekmantown, Keeseville and Plattsburghschools questions related to school policiesagainst bullying.

The educators agreed bullying has been an is-sue for students at any age.

“This is not just a middle school and highschool problem,” said Keeseville ElementarySchool principal Kevin Hulbert.

The entire panel advocated listening to thestudents and utilizing mental health surveys inthe classroom that can identify students mentalperspectives.

The problem has not only worried educatorsand mental health officials, but parents as well.

Marla Wolkowicz, president of the Platts-burgh High School Community School Organi-zation, said concerned parents should talk toother parents who may have had similar experi-ences. She said parents should come togetherand stand up for the child being bullied.

“Give them a sense of self and reassure themwe are here,” she said. “We are all in the situa-tion together, and we all want the same out-come.”

However, bullying can be hard to immediate-ly identify, Bobbett said.

“A bully thrives on secrecy. Until we can breakthat code of silence, we are not going to be ableto intervene,” he explained. “Sometimes youhave no idea why a student is behaving this way,and neither do they.”

PETS & SUPPLIES

PLEASE HELP ! My children’s hearts are broken. Our Sunshine has been missing since November 23, 2010, the same day that our dog Shady staggered into our home bleeding from the head and mouth, dying from wounds inflicted by a hollow shell bullet. Its is bad enough to loose a member of our family but to never find the body of the other is cruel. Please help us put Sunshine to rest humanely with closure for my children and I, and so we know, at least in death she has the dignity she rightfully deserves. Sunshine is a german shepard/golden retreiver mix. Her color is brindle and she has a bobbed tail. We hope and pray still a friendly dog. Please help us have a New Year miracle. If you know of her whereabouts, please call us at 802-349-3489. Last seen at Silver Hill Road, Witherbee on the morning of November 23rd.
