PLATTSBURGH — It’s notup to school officials to de-cide whether to eliminateprograms without voterinput, said Fred Wachtmeis-ter.

And it’s not the responsi-bility of school district em-ployees to educate youngpeople, said the veteranPlattsburgh City SchoolBoard member, it’s the com-munity’s.

He further reminded theboard of an email requestingthey review employee con-tributions toward benefits.

School Board memberBrian Herkalo contendedthat most people who criti-cize the school board are Lonny Bilodeau leads his miniature horse, Chance, to their spot in the parade.

PLATTSBURGH — Mostpeople hand candy out dur-ing Fourth of July parades.

D&D Meats of West Chazyprovides spectators withsample bags of its productline, Jeezem Crow Beefproducts.

“We hand out beef jerky,”said Shane Dutil, who, alongwith his family, owns thebusiness.

Independence Day meansmuch to the family, with anuncle and father who servedin the military.

“We send 1,000 full-sizebags of jerky overseas,” Du-til said. “We try to do asmuch as possible for the sol-diers.”

This past July 4 he spentthe day in Plattsburgh,preparing to participate inthe annual parade.

This is the first year D&DMeats participated in theJuly 4 parade, also preparinga float for the one in RousesPoint. The business did en-ter a float in the winter car-nival and received a great re-sponse.

Dutil worked steadily asthe heat of the sun over headincreased, beating down on

him and others participatingin the parade.

The jerky is made like the“old timers,” Dutil said,which inspired the theme forthe float. He spread out haybails, plastic crows, a logand saw and farm hands,creating a scene from 1815.

As he worked, Rod Sher-man pulled up in front ofhim and backed his greenCivilian CJ2A in front of thefloat. The vehicle was num-ber 1,970 in production.

“We had the jeep on thefarm when I was a kid,” saidthe veteran Plattsburgh CitySchool teacher.

A little further down,Danielle Lukasiewiczhelped set up another float.

“This is our first year,though some of the othertroops have done it in thepast,” said the troop leaderfor 4061 Girl Scouts ofNortheastern New York.

They participated becausethey thought it would besomething fun for the girls.

The theme is red, whiteand blue and the Girl Scout’s100th birthday.

“It’s so cool, because youget to walk around and handout candy, and you get tocarry a banner,” said CelesteLuk, 8.

Brooke Boyea, also 8, wasmost excited about ridingthe miniature horse.

“I’ve never ridden in a pa-rade before.”

Spectators gathered on ei-ther side of the road, up anddown the parade route,some shielding themselvesunder the shade of a tree,though most stood under thesun, steadily wiping sweatfrom their eyes as the hottesttime of the day arrived.

The flashing lights of aPlattsburgh City Police De-partment SUV started theparade, followed by the firedepartment and the PolicePipes and Drums.

Various themes filled theparade line, including Warof 1812 reenactors, Platts-burgh’s Lumber Jills, the Lu-cid bus, local dance groups,soldiers and area business-es, with many people tossingcandy to children as theypassed.

The parade ended with aline of old cars revving theirengines up the street.

Children slept on theirparents shoulders, some instrollers, beaten by the sun,their tummies full of candy,as spectators turned to gohome and prepare for thefireworks later that evening.

PLATTSBURGH — Insome form or fashion, theFourth of July, or Independ-ence Day, as it has becomeknown, is about family.

Whether they be near orfar, dead or alive, the holidayhas become a day to holdfamily close to the heart.

“We are very patriotic, be-cause John was in the AirForce for 20 years,” saidJuanita Serenko, whowatched the parade in Platts-burgh with her husbandJohn.

They still wish the AirForce base was in Platts-burgh and said they’vehelped organize parades foryears. They helped locallyup until two years ago.

“It is so well organized,and it is growing,” Mrs.Serenko said.

Mr. Serenko worked for ayear after graduating fromhigh school and then joinedthe United States Air Force.

The military shipped himto Vietnam in 1965. U.S. com-bat units were deployedthere beginning in 1965.

“I was one of the first onesin Vietnam and I was therefor a year.”

A sad feeling grips him onIndependence Day.

“I think about the waythey treated the soldiers,” hewhispered. “I think aboutthe guys who didn’t comeback.”

He knew a soldier whowas supposed to go homebut volunteered to stay onlonger. The man left on a gunship and never returned andto this day is missing in ac-tion.

Independence Day is afederal holiday in Americanthat commemorates theadoption of the Declarationof Independence on July 4,1776. It declared the coun-try’s independence fromGreat Britain.

The holiday is commonlyassociated with parades,fireworks, barbecues, carni-vals, fairs, picnics, concerts,ball games, family reunions,ceremonies and politicalspeeches.

The first recorded use ofthe name “IndependenceDay” occurred in 1791.

In 1820, the first Fourth ofJuly celebration was held inEastport, Maine.

Congress made Independ-ence Day an unpaid holidayfor federal employees in1870.

In 1938, Congress changedIndependence Day to a paidholiday.

Since 1785, Bristol, RhodeIsland has held the oldestcontinuous IndependenceDay celebration in the Unit-ed States.

On the Capital lawn inWashington, D.C., a free con-cert precedes fireworks andattracts more than half a mil-lion people annually.

“We get a lot of family timeon the Fourth of July,” saidJeremy Supernaw. “We go to

Rouses Point every yeartoo.”

Mandy Rougier appreci-ates the time with family aswell as hanging out withfriends. She also likes todress her three children inred, white and blue.

“This is a day I get to

spend with family and enjoywhat I have in my life,” saidJessica Murphy. “The littlethings, like silly little boyseating ice cream. It makes methink of how fortunate I am.”

The silly little boy with herwas going to be eating icecream soon because the

Fourth of July is also hisbirthday and he was turning8.

“I get ice cream and pres-ents today,” said DaltonJames Murphy. “But I alsolike all the colors of the fire-works, especially the greenones.”

PLATTSBURGH — The Town of Platts-burgh is welcoming a Canadian companyinto its borders.

The Development Corporation an-nounced the expansion of Montreal-basedWestgroupe into its Banker Road IndustrialPark.

Westgroupe USA, Inc. just signed a five-year lease with The Development Corpora-tion for 178 Banker Road, Suite 200, and willoccupy 5,000 square feet.

“Expanding our operations to Plattsburghenables us to better service our Americancustomers and allows us a much more effi-cient distribution capability in the north-east,” said Westgroupe’s President MichaelSuliteanu.

In 1961, Rodney Adam Suliteanu foundedWestern Optical, a Canadian optical distri-bution company.

That company has evolved into West-groupe, with two divisions that distributeeyewear in Canada as well as exporting theirproprietary brands to more than 40 coun-tries worldwide.

Westgroupe’s divisions include Westernand Wescan. Western’s portfolio includesfashion value brands such as Superflex andBertelli, as well as well-known designerbrands, including Perry Ellis and Elizabeth

Arden. The Wescan division offers an inter-national brand assortment, such as KliixDenmark, Fysh UK, Evatik, and Converse.

Westgroupe was recently chosen as theCanadian distributor of SPY optical and Sunproducts.

In 1990, Michael Suliteanu joined the busi-ness founded by his father.

In 2009, he became president, overseeingday-to-day operations.

“Over the years, I believe we have beensuccessful because we have stayed focusedon our customer ’s needs, on servicing theirneeds and staying ahead of the curve withboth quality products and contemporary de-signs.”

He said they were also attracted to thearea by the facility itself.

“We knew immediately when Matt Boirefrom CDC showed us the space at TDC’sBanker Road Industrial Park that we want-ed to be here,” Suliteanu said. “The facilitywas in pristine condition and we knew wewould be able to set up our operations in arelatively short period of time.”

Westgroupe plans to hire between two andfour employees initially.

“We felt a connection with Westgroupefrom the very beginning,” said Erin Hynes,Economic Developer at The DevelopmentCorporation. “We are delighted that West-groupe has selected Banker Road IndustrialPark as a location to begin a new chapter inthe continued success of the company.”

One of the biggest issues facingorganizations primarily run byvolunteer groups throughout

the Adirondacks is that people just can’tfind the time to volunteer. Between jobsand other family responsibilities, manypeople don’t think there is any time left-over to commit to volunteering.

Yet, what your time can do for othershas tremendous value.

It makes business sense for organiza-tions to sign up volunteers. A 2010 Volun-teering in America study estimated thatan hour of volunteering was worth $26.And volunteer firefighters save localitiesabout $129.7 billion every year in the U.S.

Firemen’s Association of the State ofNew York President David Jacobowitzsaid that statewide studies have shownthat if all volunteer fire protective serviceswere funded by taxpayers, it would addabout $2.8 billion in labor costs and $4.4billion in equipment, structural changes,fire vehicle value, and general operationalcosts per year.

Not-for-profit groups are faced with therealities of relying on volunteers for theirsurvival. In the end, if enough volunteerscannot be found, some smaller groups —such as local museums — may have to cuthours or even close.

Fire departments are faced with similarchallenges. In 2011, for example, the BlueMountain Lake Volunteer Fire Depart-ment was faced with closure due to thedecline in volunteers. With the help of thecommunity, which overwhelmingly want-ed the fire department to stay active, newmembers joined and the fire departmentwas saved.

Many local fire and rescue departmentshave dramatically smaller squads thanwhen the current senior members began.According to a report by the National Vol-unteer Fire Council, the number of volun-teer firefighters has dropped 14 percentsince 1984. While the number of new vol-unteers is going down, the age of currentvolunteers is increasing and the volume ofemergency calls remain the same.

A majority of the agencies in need ofvolunteers rely on retirees, many of whombring a variety of talents from their yearsin the workforce. Yet, with vacations,“company” and other obligations, volun-

teers are not always a reliable option toreplace paid workers. Therefore, morevolunteers are always needed to fill inwhen others can’t make a shift becausethey are not available.

We encourage everyone — retirees,those in the workforce and teenagers — tovolunteer, even if it’s only a few hours aweek.

By helping the local animal shelter,food bank or other small organization,you are helping your neighbors in need.There’s always a little time to help.

Only 18.5 percent of New Yorkers vol-unteered in 2010 compared to the nationalaverage of 26.6 percent. According toKathleen Snow, development director ofNorth Country Regional Volunteer Center,New York state ranked dead last — 50 outof the 50 states — for active volunteerism.

During a time of crisis, those in theAdirondacks have proven when there isan imminent need, such as the disasterleft in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene,they can accomplish great things. Snowsaid many people called into the office tofind out how they could help and havecontinued to help through the Long TermRecovery group created to continue tohelp after FEMA left the area. The groupincludes members of the Mental HealthAssociation, the Salvation Army and Proj-ect Hope.

Floodwaters or not, the need for yourtime and effort in the community is everpresent.

For more information on how you canhelp the people in your community, callthe United Way volunteer help line at 211or visit one of your local organizations —fire departments, hospitals, libraries,chambers of commerce, museums, socialgroups, etc.

By volunteering, you are giving back,and your time is greatly appreciated.

Make the time for your neighbor in need

Last week the Labor Department re-leased its June report and the num-bers were well below expectations. It

was the third-consecutive month of weak jobgrowth. From April through June, the econo-my produced an average of just 75,000 jobs amonth, the weakest quarter since July throughSeptember 2010. The unemployment ratestayed at 8.2 percent.

Both parties and politicians at every levelbenchmark their performance based on jobcreation and a low unemployment rate, eventhough many who hold and run for officehave never truly created a job or been respon-sible for employing a person with their ownmoney. Speaking from experience, I can tellyou it’s a heavy weight on one’s shoulders.Making certain there is enough money in thebank to pay the person hired, cover all thetaxes and benefits and dealing with a neverending list of government regulations and re-porting is a heavy burden. When things don’tgo as planned there is no spinning of the factsor passing blame to anyone other than the em-ployer and employee.

As a small business owner, job creation is avery personal thing and no serious employertakes the task lightly, especially when it’syour money being spent and your money onthe line for the performance of the tasks as-signed to a person. Most small business own-ers I know feel exactly the same way. I canpersonally attest that many sleepless nightsgo by making hiring or firing decisions, deal-ing with disciplinary issues, benefit plans,work assignments, injuries and generatingenough revenue to keep the lights on and thestaff working.

That said, when I hear politicians and bu-reaucrats taking credit for creating x-numberof jobs and putting people to work, I have towonder if they really have any idea how theprocess truly works and that each hire or dis-missal is so much more that just a statisticfrom which to campaign. It’s a life and thatone life has dependents and responsibilities oftheir own that they likely lose sleep over. Thewhole process of being a small business own-er or working for a small business getsbrought up frequently in political campaignsand with the state of the economy in its cur-rent condition, we’ll be hearing a lot about theeconomy and jobs in the coming weeks andmonths.

We’re told thatthe Labor De-partment reportleft economistsand investorsgrasping for anygood news. Theyfound some inthe fact that theaverage hourlypay rose 6 cents in June, the biggest monthlygain in nearly a year. The average work weekalso grew, and companies hired 25,000 tempo-rary workers, usually a sign that they willeventually move to full-time workers, but it’sno guarantee. Economists and investors ap-pear to be living off the sweat and stress ofthose of us who have true skin in the game.Like a gambler down on his luck, until solidconsumer confidence returns, small businessemployers must continue to risk with everyhire that they can maintain sufficient stabilityin their business to keep pressing forwardwith little to gain or even go deep into debthoping for their luck to turn around. Smallbusinesses and their employees representnearly 60 percent of the US workforce.

In the upcoming election cycle politicianswill spend billions talking about jobs and theeconomy. They’ll debate insourcing and out-sourcing and who is best suited to create themost jobs and generate the strongest economy.They’ll take credit for everything positive andaccept no blame for anything that went wrongand all the while small business employersand the fate of millions of employees will reston the outcome of the elections, until confi-dence, cooperation and rock solid belief in thefuture of the US economy returns to priorform.

Each night as the politicians go to bed, theyand their advisors will think of new strategiesto gain more votes and overcome gaffs madeon the stump. Their goal will be to put thebest spin on what is or isn’t happening withthe US economy. Meanwhile small businessowners and their employees will continue tolose sleep worrying about that next payroll,praying sales improve and that the outcomeof the elections will in fact have a positive im-pact on the country’s economy.

Jobs hang in the balance


Is it just me, or is driving acompetitive sport?

Have you noticed driving downBroad Street, that the stop at the lightat the North Catherine to SouthCatherine intersection has morphedinto the starting line for a race to thatends at the next light at the MargaretStreet intersection. The goal of driv-ers in the lane next to you is to not letyou reach the end of the street beforethem at all costs. And if those driv-ers suspect you might cross over tothe lane they are in, they will surpassdangerous speeds in a school zoneand ram your car should you musterthe courage to change lanes.

Since when did passing anotherdriver to switch into another lane be-come an extreme sport? It’s likeRussian Roulette, except everychamber is loaded. I have been mind-ing my own business more than onceto look over and notice the driver inthe lane beside me intently watchingme with vicious eyes, snarling lips,sweat on his forehead and drool onhis chin as he matched me, speedingup when necessary to ensure I stayedin my lane.

Has this become akin to racism,where the whites have their roomsand the blacks their areas to congre-

gate? If so, who am I in this newworld of driving, in which lane as-signments are determined by somesort of social order I have yet to un-derstand?

The funny thing is, I wasn’t tryingto pass anyone. And even more con-founding is we arrived at the samedestination at nearly the same time,except I believe I exited my car in theparking lot before him and made itinto Walmart first, not that I waskeeping track, but that dude had mySpidey sense tingling.

I’ve noticed too that if I am pullingout of a street or business, say fromSibley onto Rugar or from McDon-alds onto Route 3, vehicles in the laneI am pulling into will significantlyincrease their speed to ensure I don’tpull out in front of them. More thanonce I’ve had plenty of time to pullout but when I attempt it I notice thecar in the lane I aim to enter sudden-ly racing toward me as if I had un-knowingly enlisted in the demoli-tion derby. This is life threateningwhen there are cars behind you alsowaiting to exit, because for some un-explained reason they feel the needto kiss your backside with your frontbumper, as if our cars were soulmates unwilling to let the other go,which of course prevents me from

backing up before the derby drivercoming my way scores 10 points byramming me.

Then there are the people headingup Cornelia, and as they approachRoute 3 and the lane evolves fromsingle to double, they lane-switch50 times and risk an accident to en-sure they secure a spot in the lanethat provides them with an extra footup the road. The comical thing hereis that even if they nab the lane andsecure an extra car length, they oftenend up two lights down Route 3 atleast four car lengths behind me.

Is there some sort of waiver out

there people have access to that re-leases them from any liability aslong as they are engaged in the com-petitive sport of driving? If there is,I don’t understand the benefit of it,as you would think they would behappy, except these drivers look likerabid lunatics behind the wheel outto catch the criminal who kickedtheir toy poodle.

The motorists I understand theleast are those who drive 10 milesbelow the speed limit on rural roads,but then slam their feet against thepedal and jump well beyond thespeed limit whenever the driver be-hind them has a legal opportunity topass. Then, they slow down again,puttering along as they count mapletree leaves.

But the drivers that frustrate meare the ones who refuse to allowsomeone clearly in a hurry to passthem by, especially when the mo-torist in a rush uses his or her four-ways and employs the horn. Manytimes such drivers are dangers to theroad and merely deranged partici-pants in the sport of competitivedriving. But there are also timeswhen the driver behind trying topass is in the midst of an emergencyand needs to get somewhere muchquicker than the drivers caught up in

a race that solely exists in the mindsof those willing to risk bodily harmto reach Target a few seconds fasterthan the car trapped behind them.

I remember as a child my motherbeing rushed to the emergency roomfrom my father’s company party asone of his employees drove me in acar following the ambulance, hishorn blaring and four-ways flashing.A leather-clad man revving hisHarley cut the employee off and re-fused to let us pass. My father’s em-ployee, an extremely large man, ex-ited his car and offered the man twochoices. The man moved his bike andto this day I look up to my father’semployee, even though his actionswere not politically correct andcould have resulted in a dangerousaltercation.

My mother was fine, but imagineif that delay had prevented me fromsaying goodbye to her before shepassed.

Driving is not a competitive sport,so get over yourself, because unlessit is an emergency, you don’t need tobe anywhere that quickly, no matterwhat you might think.

Dear Style & Substance:

I was out with my girlfriends last night and we decidedwe need a new “look”. We are all somewhere around 50. Howwould we go about updating our look, but not looking asthough we are “trying too hard”?

To become more sure about a direction, start by lookingthrough magazines and modify the looks of makeup, hairand clothes to something you might feel comfortable doing.

Change what you say about a cut e style by saying, “I cantry that” versus, “Oh, I could never do that”. Choose an areaof your look that you are most confident with and improvethat; it is easy and those results will boost your confidenceto experiment in the not so confident areas. There will besome risk and some failures, but this is a starting point, nota finish line.

We first checked in with our go-to makeup expert, Nico-lette Terry. Her advice to a “young at heart” woman is to cul-tivate the look you want to achieve by identifying the qual-ities you want to show to the world. Do you want to be moreconfident, passionate, or playful? Trying any of the new“BB” (beauty balm) creams is a great way to smooth out yourcomplexion. Brighter corals and reds for lipsticks or glossesexude confidence.

Playful gals can experiment with new eye liners and shad-ows that complement your eyes.

In reorganizing your closet, try pairing up new colors orseparates in a different way. A sure fire way to get yourselfinto a fashion rut is to “match” everything. Over matching

is a hard habit to break, but it dates you, so start with smallchanges by mixing patterns or wearing a bold color shoe.Monochromatic dressing can be chic and stylish but it canalso be too safe and cause you to look frumpy. Find your sig-nature color and have fun.

Get a new haircut or color, or style your hair in a new way.Ask your stylist for a trendier cut that he or she can showyou how to style. Experiment with product. When we likesomeone’s hair…we ask who did it and what product theyuse!

Whiten your teeth, a winning smile is always a statementon its own. Our dentists tell us that the over the counterproducts can get really good results. Happiness is a choiceand a bright smile is the great step to an updated, more self-assured you.

Get moving…even 5 minutes a day of aerobic activity in-creases blood flow and outlook on life. You will find that acommitted 5 minutes usually leads to a solid 15!

Don’t buy into the idea of martyrdom. Putting yourselffirst means that you value yourself and your roles and re-sponsibilities, and looking and feeling good can only makeeveryone else rise to a better level.

Grow from the inside as well. Filling your mind and spir-it with good thoughts, challenging information, gratitudeand laughter will certainly give you a “what is she up to?”kind of look!

Your updated look will help you achieve the goal of be-

coming YOU 2.0!

The NCSPCA would like to thank theowners of Keene Lodge for hosting lastSunday's annual "Paws for a Cause"

auction event in Keene Valley, along with ourmany other contributors who provided food,entertainment, and donated items for sale orauction. The event was a terrific success, andour animals greatly appreciate the funds raisedtoward our shelter.

The annual "Gimme Shelter" Golf Tournamentis swiftly approaching; July 20 will be here be-fore we know it, and preparations are under-way to ensure this event will be as enjoyableand entertaining as that of 2011! Proceeds ofthe tournament, hosted by the Westport Coun-try Club, will be donated toward our new shel-ter fund. For more details and how to reigster,please visit http://www.ncspca.blogspot.com/

This week's featured pet is orange-and-whitetabby cat Irwin, who was a victim of HurricaneIrene last summer. Irwin, along with about 10other cats and kittens, was displaced during theflooding and left homeless. When he arrived atthe shelter, staff soon noticed that he did notseem to be adapting well to the environmentand seemed unwell. We learned that Irwin hasa compromised immune system, likely due tonot getting the proper vaccines when he was akitten. As a result, this poor fellow gets thesniffles very easily when he's around a lot ofother cats. Although he has had difficulty liv-ing around the other cats at the shelter, Irwin

would be able to thrive in a multi-cat house-hold, as long as the other cats are all up-to-dateon their vaccines. He is currently being caredfor in a foster home, doing very well on somebasic medications, but needs a new living situa-tion by July 31. We are hoping that he will findhis forever home by that time so that he doesnot have to return to the shelter. With his sweetpersonality and easygoing attitude, Irwinwould be a great addition to the right home...could that home be yours?

CHAMPLAIN — St. Mary’sAcademy is closing and there is nogoing back, at least not at this time,says the Rev. James Delbel, pastorof St. Mary’s.

The priest said he promised hewould never again borrow moneyto keep the school open and heaims to keep his promise. He fur-ther said the school has been un-able to pay back its debt.

But some school officials see itdifferently and believe St. Mary’sAcademy could remain open.

“We raised the money and ourenrollment was up,” said schoolofficer Amy Gehrig. “Everythingwas moving in the right direction.We were doing what we needed todo and are just baffled by this.”

“It is over,” said Delbel.Roughly seven years ago, he said

he borrowed a great deal of moneyto keep the school open, also prom-ising that if he had to borrow mon-ey in the future he would close theschool.

And that is just what happened,Delbel said.

He met with Diocese officials inOgdensburg and was given thegreen light to keep the school openwhen a $50,000 donation waspulled back.

“We thought we were set to go,and that was the trip wire, and sud-denly we would have to borrowagain,” Delbel said. “I had to keepmy promise to the parish.”

But Gehrig said the donor tookthe money back because of a newstipulation that all funds raisedwould have to be done so in thename of the church. The donor sim-

ply wanted to ensure the fundswould be used for the school.

St. Mary’s Academy has a pro-jected shortfall for next schoolyear, though there appears to beconfusion on the amount.

Delbel said the projected budgetdeficit for next year is $140,000.

He admitted there were positivesigns for next year, including in-creased enrollment, but he said themoney was not there.

“If I could have seen a brighterfuture, maybe we could haveworked something out,” Delbelsaid. “I think there just comes atime when you recognize times

have changed and it is time to callit quits.”

The parish is not rich, he point-ed out.

“We have not been able to makea payment on debt in three years,and the Diocese could not make aloan to us,” Delbel said.

The economy continues to strug-gle, he said, and the area does too,especially in the wake of the clo-sure of Pfizer in Rouses Point. Likethe rest of the North Country, hesaid, the area has fallen on hardtimes.

St. Mary’s Academy has existedsince 1906, though there has been a

school as part of the parish since1867. Opening a school occurredshortly after the parish was found-ed.

“This was all French up here andFrench kids needed a school,” Del-bel said. “We have a long history ofCatholic education.”

Today, it is the only Catholicschool in the Northern Tier andwould have enrolled 67 studentsnext school year, many of themfrom Quebec.

The children loved the school, asdid the parents, and it is difficultto see it end, but Delbel said that is“just the way it is.”

Local people have done whatthey can and are not willing to putmoney into it, Delbel said.

“It is an older community and alot of people are on pensions andsocial security, and the money justisn’t here anymore,” he said. “Thechurch’s income is done, and thewhole thing is really sad.”

The closure will impact 16 em-ployees. Tuition and donationshave been returned.

“This school provided a goodCatholic education and this is apainful process,” Delbel said.

St. Mary’s fate is sealed by lack of stability

Rev. James Delbel speaks with parents about St. Mary’s Academy closing.



CHAMPLAIN — Eric Huberdeau heard St.Mary’s Academy was closing after a $50,000donation was withdrawn.

At a gathering of parents at St. Mary’sChurch he offered pastor, Rev. James Delbel,$50,000 to keep St. Mary’s Academy open.

But the offer was refused and Delbel saidit is beyond that. St. Mary’s Academy is nolonger financially stable and is closed.

“I think we need to stand behind our pas-tor,” said Chris Trombley, parish councilpresident.

That is not what the many parents gath-ered there wanted to hear as they pepperedDelbel with questions, publicly disagreedwith his assessment of St. Mary’s Academyand demanded the school remain open.Some in the audience were angry and otherscried at the meetings held at St. Mary’sChurch.

“It is a hard time for everybody rightnow,” Trombley said. “It is a hard day.”

Delbel explained to parents that he wasconvinced the school would remain open af-ter his meeting with Diocese officials.

At that meeting, he was given stipula-tions, which required the school to raise anextra $140,000, $100,000 of it by the end ofJanuary. The school could not be independ-ent, but part of the parish’s mission, and allfunds had to go through the parish.

“This is the case in every other Catholicschool,” Delbel said.

Donations would have to come with nostrings attached, because “we have to paybills,” Delbel said.

Within 10 minutes of relaying the stipula-tions, Delbel said he heard that $50,000 hadbeen withdrawn.

“I promised the parish I would close theschool if I ever had to borrow more money,”he said. “The Diocese was concerned and letus know they would not loan us any moremoney unless the school was closed. Ithought about it and saw no way out.”

“I made the decision. I closed it.”Delbel further said he was not willing to

rent the space out and the decision was ir-revocable. He said he made the right deci-sion after struggling for seven years to keepSt. Mary’s Academy open.

Plus, the building has not been main-tained and is up for inspection, Delbel said.

“My first responsibility is not to the schoolbut to the people of the parish.”

The meeting grew heated at times as par-ents asked Delbel questions, though thosepresent seemed mostly frustrated becausethey could not obtain specific answers tosome questions and felt they were silencedwhen they publicly disagreed with the as-sessment of the situation.

At least one individual accused Delbel ofbeing heartless and taking the “coward’sway out.”

School officer Amy Gehrig disagreed withDelbel’s numbers and said the parish has nothad to financially support the school in twoyears.

She may open a charter school with an em-phasis on Christian education in the wake ofthe closure of St. Mary’s Academy.

Trombley ultimately ended the meeting.“The school is closed. Father is done talk-

ing. The meeting is over.”Huberdeau couldn’t believe his offer was

rejected.He sent his children to the school because

he trusted the education they were receivingat St. Mary’s Academy.

“I could come up with the money tomor-row.”

Rebecca Yelle, standing outside the churchafter the meeting, still couldn’t believe theschool was closed.

“My child comes home singing praise andglory.”

The school teaches her respect and its clo-sure is a loss to the community.

She wondered if the closure was more dueto the parish being in trouble than theschool.

Yell plans to contact Gehrig about the newschool she may open.

Her daughter, Hailey, said she has funevery day at St. Mary’s Academy.

“I get to make bunny rabbits and we get topaint snow men,” said the 5-year-old.

Parents decry loss of St. Mary’s Academy

PLATTSBURGH — Onceupon a time, there was asleepy mountain town inColorado called Boulder.

One day, the townspeopledecided it was time to puttheir community on themap.

So they took action, rede-fined Boulder as a magnetfor culture, arts and recre-ation, and stoked their city’seconomic engine.

“Plattsburgh is no Boul-der, Colorado, but Boulderwasn’t always like that, ei-ther,” said Colin Read, aneconomist and interim chairof the economics and financefaculty at Plattsburgh State.

Read included Boulder ina list of cities throughout thecountry that have made ma-jor changes, changes thathave nurtured economicgrowth. Among them wereAustin, Texas; Eugene, Ore-gon and Burlington, Ver-mont.

“Each of those communi-ties has created an identityfor themselves, and weshould look to them for in-spiration,” Read said.

Change usually requires acatalyst, and for Read it wasan economic study he con-ducted in 2008 on the futureof Plattsburgh.

The results showed thatyoung and middle-agedpeople are leaving the areaat a steady rate.

By 2030 there will be ashortage of almost 4,000 em-ployees and 10,000 residentsin the county, adding to theloss of 5,000 residents in thepast 20 years, the studyshowed.

But there is a solution —

staunch the flow of depar-ture by keeping or attractingat least 3,000 families to thearea by 2040.

“I’m an economist, so Iworry about this sort ofthing,” Read said. “If weknow this, we can’t affordnot to act on it.”

And that’s exactly whatRead did, but he wasn’talone.

When Read began holdingmeetings under the monikerVision 2040 to discuss op-tions for revitalizing thecommunity, he was unawarethat others were also meet-ing informally for the samepurpose.

In 2009, the two groupsbegan collaborating underone banner—Vision 2 Ac-tion.

“The effort is to showthere is vision and conver-sion to action,” said BobSmith, chairman of Vision 2Action. “We want to makethis a vibrant communityand show people that theycan be a part of this greaterforce to make change.”

Smith has been involvedfrom day one and said thatV2A, with the help of theClinton County Develop-ment Corporation, was setup to facilitate conversa-tions between individualsand grassroots organiza-tions on how to bring peopleto Plattsburgh, and keepthem there.

Evaluating projects thatwere close to completionwas the first step.

“Sometimes when youtake on a new project, it canseem overwhelming,” Smithsaid. “What we’ve done isidentify specific things thatare close to a positive tip-ping point so we can help

finish themand buildmomentum.”

Two yearsago, theSaranac Riv-er Trail couldonly be seenas a blueprint, care-fully drawnfrom theminds ofthose whohad envi-sioned it.

Throughvolun-teerism, fundraising andcommunityinvolvement,V2A hashelped thefirst phase ofthe much-used rivertrail becomea reality, andhas alsoraised moneyfor ongoing repairs to theStrand Theatre.

More recently, on June 29,the inaugural “Take Pride inPlattsburgh Tiki Torch Zum-bathon Fundraiser” at theCity Beach attracted morethan 100 participants to raisemoney to build a handicap-accessible treehouse alongthe river trail.

Local zumba instructorand V2A member AshleyCousens helped lead themovements of the partici-pating zumba-holics, whowere accompanied bythumping music, flickeringtiki torches and a bonfire formaking s’mores.

Cousens was wearing herworkout attire and standingbarefoot in the sand whenshe made a sweeping motiontoward Lake Champlainwith her arm.

“Just look at this beach,it’s beautiful,” she said.“What other area has this?We need to invest in ourcommunity and attract peo-ple to the area.”

To that end, V2A has iden-tified four things they be-lieve are important to thecommunity, and to drawingyoung families to the region:arts, recreation, transporta-tion and education.

This year, V2A has heldtwo well-attended commu-nity discussions to bringpeople together to exploreoptions to make Plattsburgh

a destination for arts andrecreation.

Each event was followedup at a later date by a discus-sion session on MountainLake PBS.

On July 24, the thirdevent, a community discus-sion on transportation, willbe held from 6-8 p.m. at theChamplain Valley Trans-portation Museum in Platts-burgh. It will be hosted byBruce Carlin, chair of V2A’stransportation task force,and is open to the public.

The meeting will be con-ducted in a round-robin for-mat, consisting of five, 15-minute presentations, with aquestion and comment ses-sion following each.

“The idea is to come upwith no- to low-cost projectsthat will promote bicyclingand walking in the area,”Carlin said. “Those twothings are great for you, theenvironment and tourism.”

To promote bicycling,V2A has launched a website,nybikerack.com, that has abike rack locator map tomake it easy to find bikeracks throughout Platts-burgh.

The site also has informa-tion on a bike rack designcontest. Entrants in threeage groups can send in de-signs for North Country-themed ornamental decora-tions, which will adorn thetops of bike racks in the re-gion.

Contest winners will beannounced at the meeting.

The racks will be built byJeffords Steel, and business-es sponsoring a rack willhave its location appear onthe website’s map.

“We don’t want to dig uproads to make room for

bikes, we just want biking tobe considered when newprojects happen,” Carlinsaid. “By enhancing thesethings in our community, wecan recruit new people toour area.”

A gri-Mark is owned and controlled by dairy farm

families from New England and New York. Our farmers work together in the marketplace so they can receive the highest possible price for all of the milk their farm produces and the best legislative representation possible on dairy issues.

At Agri-Mark, we have two great brands that create great local markets and generate income for our farmers. Our award-winning Cabot brand of Vermont cheddar cheese, butter, and other dairy products continues to grow each year, adding to our farmers’ milk checks. Our Cabot cheese

again won the title of “World’s Best Cheddar” in 2006. Agri-Mark farmers also

own the McCadam brand of New York dairy products, and that investment is generating income for them

as well. In 2007, McCadam won first place at the U.S. Cheese Championships in Wisconsin and the title

“America’s Best Cheese!” Agri-mark had a record year of

profits in 2007 and the future looks bright!

working with other Northeast farm families for better prices, call our Membership Department toll-free at 1- 800-225-0532 or contact us at www.agrimark.net

NBT Bankfrom page 1

On July 2, at about 1 p.m., Stephenson

allegedly entered NBT Bank through the

front entrance, approached a teller and

passed her a note. It demanded money

and said he had a gun.

There were no customers in the bank at

the time, and a surveillance camera

picked up Stephenson, who is described

as about 6 feet tall, between 220 and 250

pounds.

He did not reveal a weapon in the

video.

Stephenson quickly left through the

front doors after the teller gave him an

undisclosed amount of money, though his

direction of travel was unclear. Witnesses

reported him walking in opposite direc-

tions.

Law enforcement set up road blocks,

searched cars and scanned the surround-

ing area with helicopters and canine

units.

NBT Bancorp offered a reward of as

much as $10,000 for information leading

to the arrest and conviction of anyone in-

volved in the robbery.

Police have not ruled out accomplices.

“We have identified one person

(Stephenson) involved in the robbery, and

part of the investigation now is locating

that person,” said Davison. “There are

still a lot of leads that have to be covered.”

Stephenson has a criminal background.

In August 2006, when he was 27, he

pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal

sale of a controlled substance and third-

degree criminal possession of a controlled

substance.

Stephenson was incarcerated from No-

vember 2006 and released a little more

than a year later.

Contact policeNew York State Police have issued an ar-

rest warrant for Oneil O. Stephenson, 33,who is wanted for robbery in the 3rd degreein connection with the July 2 robbery at NBTBank, located at 482 Route 3 in the Town ofPlattsburgh.

Stephenson has used the alias PhilippeFrancois.

Anyone with information on Stephensonshould contact New York State Police at 563-3761.


It had been a typical sum-mer day in the Adiron-dack. The blue sky was

dotted with tall, fast movingpuffy clouds as I fished forbass on a local lake. However,when the sky began to darkenand the leaves of a hardwoodtree began to reveal their whiteunderbellies, I recognized thesignals of an impending rain.

There were threateningclouds on the far horizon, andI could smell rain in the air.My ears began popping withthe advancing low air pressure system, and thelake’s surface turned flat and glassy.

I motored down the lake to take shelter beforethe wind began to kick up. There were a couple ofother boats that had already retreated, but manyremained out on the lake. Shortly after I got to thedock, the clouds let loose a torrential downpourand boats began to scramble for cover.

Most of the late returnees were totally drenchedand they soon provided evidence of just how farremoved modern society has become from beingable to understand and recognize the natural pro-gression of weather.

“I never even saw it coming,” exclaimed oneyoung man. “Me either,” chimed in another. “Thatone really snuck up on me. The weather report surewas wrong!”

Summer thunderstorms have a tendency to sneakup on travelers in the Adirondacks, especiallywhile on a lake where the surrounding topographyoften limits a view of the distant horizon. It hap-pens likewise on the trail, when tall mountainsshield the vista.

Despite the numerous natural warning signalsthat we should heed, travelers commonly fail torecognize the natural signs.

Unfortunately, today’s travelers have become tooaccustomed to relying on weather forecasters,Doppler Radar Accu-casts. They obtain weatherknowledge from a variety of sources, rather thanfrom natural observations.

As a result, modern society has failed to recog-nize or retain many of the long accepted, weathersignals. Many of these natural indicators have beenforgotten. Surely, most people have heard aboutthe predictability of the groundhog and his shad-ow, which is more fable than fact.

However, there are many natural clues to weath-er that are reliable. Unfortunately, most people donot know what to look for, and others simply don’tknow how to observe.

I wonder how many people recognize that dogsand cats will often become nervous and jittery pri-or to the arrival of foul weather. It is a fact, not afable. Animals aren’t psychic, they can’t predict theweather, but they are much more sensitive tochanges in barometric pressure than humans are.As a result, they have learned how to recognize aslow pressure systems are approaching from a longway off.

So do a number of other local critters. On thecusp of an approaching storm, frogs will typicallycroak louder and longer than usual. Crickets willexhibit the opposite behavior, chirping less oftenand more quietly.

Low pressure also causes noises to carry furtherand thus, the notes ofa song bird will besharper and a loon’slaughter will soundlouder, and theechoes will travel fur-ther in the night air.

Other recognizablesigns of an approach-ing low pressure sys-tem will be evidentwhen birds fly lowerto the water to feedon the insect hatchesthat often occur.

Trout will rise morereadily, sometimesleaping entirely outof the water to pickoff insects that arejust hatching. The ap-pearance of flies suchas the Blue WingOlive is usually an indi-cation of an approach-ing low pressure sys-

tem.Bass are also extremely sensitive to changes

in barometric pressure, and approaching lowpressure fronts provide an ideal opportunity

for taking bass with topwater plugs such asHula-Poppers, Jitterbugs or Chuggers.

Low pressure causes birds to gather ontree branches and telephone wires, or flocktogether earlier in the day than usual. Con-versely, bees and butterflies will mysteri-ously disappear from the flower beds theytypically frequent and ants will build upbigger mounds around their holes, or actu-ally cover the hole entirely.

Cows will lay down in the fields or runaround the field with their tails raised highswatting flies before a storm. As badweather approaches, horses will typicallyface to the west to face the storm.

Experience has taught me to take notice of suchunusual behaviors in wildlife. If birds and beastsare acting weird, there’s often a good reason, espe-cially if such actions are exhibited by a variety ofdifferent species

A few of the other commonly accepted naturalindicators include spiders retreating from theirwebs before a rain and bees staying close to theirhives.

Many people claim to have pain in their joints, orsuffer ‘a pain in the brain before a rain.’ A comingstorm is often presaged by bones that will ache,joints that will throb or tooth aches.

Such whimsical weather rhymes were commonin ancient times, and today they are easy to under-stand. Low pressure systems can have severe af-fects on the sinus cavities, thus ‘rain on the plaincauses pain on the brain.’

Similar rhymes that come from those timeswould have to include, “When the wind is in theeast, it is not a fit day for man or beast.”

“Fish bite least, with wind in the east. But whenwind is from the south, it blows the flies into thefish's mouth.”

“When the wind is in the west, there it is thevery best.”

“When a ditch or pond affects the nose, look outfor rain and stormy blows.” Approaching low pres-sure systems often keep scents low to the ground,including the musty smell of the autumn woods orthe rankness of a bog.

Other long accepted weather rhymes include “Ifbirds fly low, expect rain and a blow” and “If therooster crows on going to bed, you may rise with awatery head.”

“Trout jump high, when rain is nigh. And aswarm of bees in May, is worth a load of hay.”

“When sheep gather in a huddle, tomorrow willhave a puddle” or “Expect the weather to be fair,when crows fly in pairs” and “When ladybugsswarm, expect a day that's warm.”

“When chickens scratch together, there's sure tobe foul weather” or “when pigs carry sticks, theclouds will soon play tricks, but when they lay inthe mud, there are no fears of a flood.”

Despite the best efforts and infinite intrusions ofmodern communications, there is simply no way tokeep a constant track of approaching weather, es-pecially in the Adirondacks.

It is the wise traveler that will learn to pay atten-tion to the natural signs. Although such signs arenot always accurate, or easy to read, they can oftenmake the difference between a ruined day or aneasy escape to safe and dry terrain.

Weather or not!

China syndromeTwenty-five years ago, the Chi-

nese government started a bassstocking program to meet the

growing food needs of its people. Asthe Internet developed and provided aglimpse of the world outside the bor-ders of the country, Chinese youth dis-covered recreational bass fishing. Inter-net coverage of big money bass tourna-ments in the United States fueled thenext logical step in bass fishing in China– bass tournaments. Though still in itsinfancy compared to the big-time Amer-ican bass tournaments, Chinese tourna-ment bass fishing is catching on. TheFLW has seen the opportunity for futurebusiness development by assisting inthe growth of fishing tournaments in China. Apopulation in excess of 1.5 billion offers afuture of tremendous growth.

During the recent FLW Majortournament on Lake Champlain, Ihad the opportunity to be the cam-era boat driver for a group of Chi-nese bass fishermen and their cameracrew. Several months ago, the Happy Fishing Channel, a 24-hour Chi-nese fishing network, ran a series of FLW affiliated bass tournaments inChina. The grand prize was an all-expense-paid trip to the UnitedStates to compete as a co-angler in the FLW Major tournament on LakeChamplain. The winner, Wang Zhan, and his film crew arrived inPlattsburgh the Monday before the tournament. The takeoff Thursdaymorning would be his first opportunity to be on Lake Champlain.

The buzz among theFLW Pros was how suc-cessful a relative beginnercould be against the sea-soned American tourna-ment anglers. In the FLWtournaments, the co-anglerfishes from the back deckof the bass boat and forthe most part fish “usedwater” behind the pros.Not speaking any English,Wang wasn’t able to obtainmuch info from his firstday pro partner, DarrelRobertson of Jay, Oklaho-ma. Words can’t describethe look on Darrel’s facewhen he met his first-daypartner - non-Englishspeaking Wang, competingin his first tournament. Nordid Robertson know whetherhis Chinese partner under-stood the rules — all with a $125,000 payday on the line for Robertson.Darrel is a very successful FLW angler and has won over $1,700,000 inhis career. He is also a big-time Oklahoma cattle rancher. But he isprobably the easiest going and calmest fisherman on the planet — agreat draw for Wang.

The next morning, after several last-minute instructions, the tourna-ment took off with me and the Happy Fishing camera crew followingWang and Darrel in my boat at breakneck speeds. The Chinese fish fromsmall aluminum boats with electric motors, not the high powered rock-ets of the American professional bass fisherman. After a 15-mile rollercoaster boat ride from Plattsburgh and much hooting and hollering inChinese by my passengers, we arrived at Wang and Darrell’s first fish-ing location. Apparently, none of the Chinese delegation had ever been60-plus mph in a bass boat before.

Let the fishing begin. I positioned my boat 20 yards away from Wangand Darrell, allowing the camera crew to film the action. Now, watchingsomeone else fish is worse than watching paint dry. Every cast whenyou are fishing is made with anticipation, but when watching someoneelse do the same, it’s just plain boring — that is, until someone catchesa fish. Thank goodness, two minutes in and Darrel catches a bass andthen another one, both keepers. It’s on and Wang is down in the boatlooking for lures. Come-on Man! This isn’t going to be pretty, but at lasthe’s ready and fishing and - Wow - he catches one, about a two-poundlargemouth. Great, after many photos by the Happy Fishing cameracrew he’s back fishing and right away catches another one. Hey, this isfun! The rookie is catching them. Again another one, now Darrel islooking over his shoulder, another one and this one is big! Then a dou-ble, Darrel with one and Wang another one at the same time. “Great netjob Wang!” I yell. So much for paint drying. Darrel’s isn’t a keeper,now he’s down three to two. It gets worse - two more for Wang in thenext 10 minutes, he has a limit. “Oh, Darrel! You’re the pro not aguide,” I jab him. Darrel’s now shaking his head, he looks at me andshrugs and yells, “This kid is good.” Time for Darrel to bear down andhe does with a couple small keepers. The pressure’s turned off and sodo the fish — now we’re back to paint drying.

For a fisherman who is 36 and only has been fishing 6 years, Wang isvery talented. Smooth at casting and working his lures. I wish I couldreport that he blew away the field, but he didn’t. The luck of the drawhas a lot to do with a co-angler ’s success. Wang finished 74 out of 127competitors for the two days. Not a bad first tournament. But Wangbuilt memories for a life time - his first trip to the USA, his first Ameri-can bass tournament, and getting to meet his hero Gary Yamamoto, whowas last year ’s runner-up on Lake Champlain. Gary is to Asian fisher-man what Bill Dance is to American fisherman. Great memories.Just when I think I have seen and heard it all in fishing, alongcome the Chinese. Szechuan Bass anyone?

Still and calm waters such at these on Barnum Pond, may accompany either a high or a low pres-sure system. However the old rhyme, 'Red sky at night, sailor's delight' is generally accepted asa reliable indication of fair weather conditions soon to follow.

Educationfrom page 1

unaware of the strong character of a groupfilled by business owners, educators, publicservants, retirees and individuals from allwalks of life.

Their words come in the aftermath of anoverwhelming budget defeat, followed byredemption in the form of a second-roundvictory, one that didn’t come without blood-shed. These words are also uttered as schoolofficials take to the difficult task of job cutsand programmatic restructuring with fewerresources and no hint of relief down theroad.

“The latest vote showed people in the cityreally do want to support education,” saidschool board member Steve Krieg.

They just hated surpassing the tax cap, headded.

And some fell on hard times, Wachtmeis-ter said, while others simply didn’t want tospend their money.

Next year will be similar, he warned. In-adequate aid, soaring costs and painful cutshave been cycling four years now, and thewheel’s still spinning.

The taxpayer ’s growing burden has ap-parently taken its toll, as voters either cannot or will not do it any longer.

The ultimate tally in this lengthy battlecan be counted in the losses suffered by stu-dents over the year.

“This is leaving us with educational op-portunities for young people that are insuf-ficient,” Wachtmeister said. “We need tohave the community realize what is goingon.

“They need to think about the conse-quences of their actions.”

Wachtmeister has outlined a path foreveryone to follow that could be the first step

in tackling the real issue and subsequentlyenjoy an improved education system thatdoes not break the backs of taxpayers.

“The politicians that represent us are notdoing their job. We are in this mess due tothe decisions made in Albany and Washing-ton. We are here now because of the faults ofothers. We are starting to see people turningon each other. We need to put the pressureon.”

But that hasn’t happened, and it’s up tothe voters to determine what level of educa-tion they are willing to provide in the city ofPlattsburgh,” Wachtmeister said. “I justdon’t think people will come here anymoregiven what we have eliminated.”

He directly asked the board if it had an ap-petite to open up teacher association con-tracts and give back benefits.

“That’s something for us to maybe thinkabout,” he said. “Obviously there are a num-ber of people who have asked us to open upnegotiations.”

Negotiations with teachers could begin inless than two years, with administrators nextyear.

The district could examine what otherpublic employees receive in terms of bene-fits, Wachtmeister said.

He also pointed out the desire by many tosee suffering among public employees, sim-ply because they possess an adequate bene-fits package.

“And here people are talking about give-backs. I wouldn’t vote to give somethingback that had been approved, voted on pre-viously.”

Wachtmeister added that the district doesnot employ too many administrators, agroup of people that have seen their work-load increase significantly over the past fewyears.

“We could actually use more administra-tors.”

Airborne Speedway recapSat. July 7

SOUTH PLATTSBURGH — Steve Cote ofIle Bizard QC held off Maxime Pelletier andBucko Branham to win the Furniture Worldof VT USA/Canada Masters Late Model 50-lap main event Saturday.

Cote had a sizeable lead evaporate whenthe race was red-flagged for a seven-carwreck with 10 laps to go. Pelletier wasalongside Cote for the restart, but couldn’tkeep pace.

Branham’s third-place run was a valiantcomeback from an early incident that puthim at the rear of the field. He had won hisqualifying heat, but pulled a redraw numberthat set him 12th on the grid. One lap laterhe was turned around by Martin Lacombe,but he passed 24 cars to finish third.

Fourth went to Jamy Begor of Mooers,who was strong throughout. Martin Gouletof Mascouche, QC was fifth. Robin Wood,who also had to race back up through thefield from the rear after contact with ShawnDuquette, gained four positions in the clos-ing laps to claim sixth. Positions 7-10 wentto Jim Bushey, Duquette, Keith Pelkey andMarc Antoine Demers.

“This was a long race for me with the 50laps on the half-mile and the restarts and redflag,” Cote said, “but I had a strong car andit was a good win.”

Cote is the Series point leader, two pointsbetter than Pelletier and 19 points ahead ofGoulet. Begor is next, 22 points shy of thetop spot.

Pat McGrail of Candiac, QC kept his hotstreak going with a decisive win in the Cul-ligan Water/TDI Repair Modified 30-lapfeature. Counting a Modified Series win inLancaster, NY, McGrail has won his lastthree starts, including two in a row at Air-borne.

McGrail stalked early leader Pierre Berthi-aume for several laps before taking the leadafter restart on lap 12. As McGrail drewaway, Berthiaume, Aaron Bartemy, VinceQuenneville and Adam Bartemy diced for

second. A half a lap after contact with AaronBartemy, which landed Bartemy a two-spotpenalty on a subsequent restart, Berthiaumeand Adam Bartemy collided in turn oneknocking Adam Bartemy out of the race.

Quenneville, Patrick Dupree Chris Cayeaand Todd Stone benefitted but Aaron Barte-my rallied back to finish third at Quen-neville’s bumper. Dupree and Cayea fin-ished 4-5. Leon Gonyo and point leaderTodd Stone stuck to Cayea to place 6th and7th. Andy Heywood advanced the most po-sitions having started 22nd and finishing10th.

Jason McClatchie ran away with Rene-gade feature in the Dee’s Pit Stop/TDI Re-pair No. 70. It was win number three for thePlattsburgh driver. Rick Doner outlastedpoint leader Kevin Boutin for third. Joe War-ren and Lance Rabtoy were next in line.

Josh LeClaire of Plattsburgh won theBusch Mini Modified feature, topping ErickSayles, Josh LaPorte, Eric Reyell and JohnBradley.

Jessey Meuller lost an apparent Sports-man Modified win for having run the wrongtire. Jason Branham, Sebastien Fournier andTravis Bruno wound up 1-2-3.

Cote and McGrail rule at Airborne Disagrees with commentaryTo The Burgh:

In his editorial of June30, 2012 Denton Publica-tions Publisher DanAlexander compared the 31/2 year tenure of Presi-dent Obama and the 18month tenure of GovernorCuomo. It baffles me that you could evenattempt to compare the two. GovernorCuomo has done very well but he is gov-erning one state not fifty. He has peopleand businesses and infrastructure andhealthcare and all sorts of problems tocontend with but it can’t compare to whathas to be dealt with when there are 50times the problems.

When we went to war in years passedthey were paid for by raising taxes or sell-ing war bonds as we did in World War II.We fought relatively short wars such asthe Korean and Vietnam which were fund-ed by surtaxes. History shows that Presi-dent H.W. Bush probably lost his reelec-tion because he raised taxes to fight thefirst Gulf war. When President Clintonleft office, he left a surplus in the budget.

Along came the Iraq and Afghanistanwars and President George Bush and hisRepublican Congress kept the costs off thebooks. The wars have cost an estimated 3.7to 4.4 trillion dollars and that does not in-clude future cost of veteran medical bene-fits from those wars. President Bush cuttaxes, established a poorly planned andunfunded Medicare drug plan, and keptthe costs of the war off the books whichraised the deficit and increased the Na-tional Debt.

During this same time, businesses andbanks were hiding fraudulent practicesthey were doing. When we bought ourhouse, we went to a local bank and fi-nanced it. The bank knew what we couldafford and they approved the properamount of mortgage. As the price of hous-es grew the banks and mortgage compa-

nies approved sales regardless whetherpeople could meet monthly costs or not.For each new home that was purchasedbuilding materials, new furniture, appli-ances, schools, etc. were needed. Howev-er, we realized that most of our manufac-turers of hard goods along with new carswere all “off shore”. It seems that themanufacturers were allowed to take theircompanies out of the country often withthe blessing and funding of the govern-ment.

Governor Cuomo does not have a ma-jority in the Senate and Assembly whopledged that they would not allow aleader to have a second term and theywould accomplish that by not workingwith him to run this country. They havebrought this United States to a standstill.Maybe if Congress could work togetherwith the President instead of disrespect-ing him we could get things done.

I am sure that President Obama had pre-pared himself to have a large job on hishands but could he have imagined all theproblems to be solved? He made an up-lifting speech at the inauguration in hopesthat the nation would feel some joy. Wouldyou rather he had listed all the problemswe faced and turned a happy day into adismal day?

Governor Cuomo has done a fine job inNew York State and maybe someday hewill take his good work to a Federal posi-tion but don’t try to compare one state’sleader to one who governs fifty.
