PLATTSBURGH — Agroup of under graduatestudents fr om the StateUniversity of New York atPlattsburgh has been select-ed for national awar ds bythe Botanical Society ofAmerica.

Ecology student LillySchelling, envir onmentalstudies/individualizedstudies student AlexScharf, and biology studentSasha Dow-Kitson wer eeach r ecognized with theYoung Botanist Award,which is given to high-achieving seniors engagingin plant-related studies.

Schelling, who was r ec-ognized for her work in de-termining distributions oftwo native insectivor ousplants in Clinton County ,was taken back by word shewould receive the award.

“I didn’t expect to win,but I was really excited. Ac-tually, I think my familywas even more excited thanme,” said Schelling, laugh-ing.

Scharf, who was r ecog-

nized for his research on thecultivation, ploidy leveland pollination in the dioe-cious Solanum species, wasalso excited to win theaward, which included acomplimentary studentmembership in the BSA.

“I think this is r eallyhelpful to graduating stu-dents who ar e taking abreak befor e graduateschool and ar e str ugglingfinancially to pay back stu-dent loans,” said Scharf.“The award will essentiallyallow me to stay informedand connected to the BSAcommunity which is prettyimportant to a gr owingbotanist.”

Biology students MeganWard and Jennifer Collinswere r ecipients of Under-graduate Student Resear chAwards from the BSA. Thecompetitive small grantsprogram r equires studentsto write a 2,000-wor d pr o-posal and support letterfrom their research advisor.Ward was r ecognized forher research on the biologyof wall-lettuce, an invasiveplant species related to thedandelion found in RugarWoods and Point Au Roche.

“I already felt like I hadalready accomplished somuch already with my proj-ect, I was happy enoughwith that,” said W ard. “Ithought [getting the award]was really cool, though.”

Collins was r ecognizedfor her r esearch on the ef-fects of nitrogen and phos-phorous on the growth andreproduction of Eur opean

frogbit, an invasive plantbecoming abundant in LakeChamplain.

“I was ecstatic,” Collinssaid of r eceiving word shewon the awar d. “It was astressful project, but it wasworth it.”

Dr. Christopher Martine,associate pr ofessor of bio-logical sciences at the uni-versity, said the BSA does-

n’t traditionally give manyundergraduate awards. Therecognition, said Martine,is a way to acknowledge“the most pr omising grad-uates in North Americawho have studied plant-re-lated subjects.”

“Only ar ound 25 gradu-ating seniors per year havebeen honor ed as YoungBotanists since the programbegan in the mid-1980s,”said Martine, adding theUndergraduate Resear chAward pr ogram chooseseven fewer r ecipients.“Only five wer e awar dedlast year and I expect it willbe something like that for2011 ... So, the fact that wehad two students selectedis a big deal.”

The five students, over-all, are a “real credit to thecampus,” added Martine.

(Editor’s Note: Studentaward-winner Sasha Dow-Kitson could not be r eachedfor comment by the time thisarticle went to pr ess. Dow-Kitson was recognized for herresearch of the r eproductivebiology of Hydr ocharis mor-sus-ranae, an aquatic invasiveplant in Lake Champlain.)

PLATTSBURGH — Heavy rains fr omovernight storms earlier this week havecaused water levels to rise across the region.

Several r oad closur es wer e r eportedWednesday morning to the south in EssexCounty but headaches wer e still being felthere to the north. The massive rainfalladded to the recent spring thaw, which hasalready caused flooding acr oss the r egion.It’s something local highway departmentand public works cr ews are used to seeingon an annual basis.

In the town of Plattsbur gh, homes in ahousing development on Cumberland Headfell victim to flooding last week after LakeChamplain r ose at such a high rate debriswashed into the end of a drainage pipe tothe development.

“We just got that all cleaned up nice. Ittook about two hours,” said James W oods,the town’s deputy highway superintendent.

The town’s drainage systems are workingwell, said Woods, even though the amountsof snow this year wer e high and meltedquickly. Woods said Plattsburgh didn’t haveany unusual flooding at all.

“Because of the snow and it hanging on,we are about a month behind on cleaning upthe sand on roads,” said Woods, adding last

PLATTSBURGH — WhenOwen Kramer was born, hecame into the world 12 weeksbefore his mother , Lori W al-ters-Kramer, expected him.

Not knowing what to ex-pect in r elation to Owen’shealth, the minds of W alters-Kramer and her husband, TimKramer, wer e put at easewhen they wer e given infor-mation fr om the Mar ch ofDimes, a charitable organiza-tion which provides resourcesto par ents of pr emature ba-bies.

“We didn’t know muchabout the March of Dimes un-til after Owen was born,” saidWalters-Kramer. “We had cer-tainly heard about them, butdidn’t r eally appr eciate howmuch work they do for fami-lies and their babies.”

The information the familyreceived was very helpful, said Walters-Kramer,as Owen suffered from respiratory distress syn-drome. It was something immediately noticedand just a pr ecursor for health pr oblems hewould have down the road.

“When he was born, he wasn’t breathing,” re-called Walters-Kramer. “The doctors immedi-ately intubated him and placed him on ventila-tion.”

Owen was also placed on surfactant therapy,a medicine treatment that allowed his lungs to

expand. When W alters-Kramer learned the Mar ch ofDimes was r esponsible forfunding the r esearch and de-velopment of surfactant ther-apy, which essentially helpedsave her son’s life, she knewshe’d do whatever she couldto support the organization.

“I am so committed to theMarch of Dimes,” she said.“It’s because of them, Owen isalive.”

Owen has battled otherhealth pr oblems over theyears, including tracheomala-cia — an abnormal collapse ofthe tracheal walls — and bron-chomalacia — a weakness inthe cartilage found in thewalls of the br onchial tubes.However, he is a happy andrelatively healthy 7-year -oldboy today, and joins his fami-ly in supporting the March ofDimes, most notably duringthe annual Mar ch of DimesWalkAmerica event held in

Plattsburgh.“I cannot bear the thought of not supporting

the Mar ch of Dimes by walking and raisingfunds,” said W alters-Kramer, who has partici-pated in the walk with her family since 2005.

This year ’s walk will be held this Sunday ,May 1, at the P ARC Oval in Plattsbur gh. Theevent will begin with registration at 10 a.m. andthe walk to follow at 11 a.m.

FloodingFrom page 3year, road cleanup started March 16.

While flooding has not yet become an over-time issue, the snow removal this year due to thelarge amounts of snow , has doubled overtimeand the cr ew has used 600 mor e loads of sandthan last year.

Mike Farrell, highway superintendent in thetown of Peru, said water runoff continues to bea problem every year, but is nothing out of theordinary this year.

Though town cr ews ar e behind in springclean-up as well, Farr ell said the town is alsostarting to sweep its roads this month instead ofMarch.

“That takes a couple of weeks,” he said.Soil er osion is a bigger pr oblem this year ,

more than other years, accor ding to Joe W et-zstein, soil and water conservationist for Clin-ton and Essex counties.

“The spring runoff this year has effected ero-sion, it has been lar ger than usual,” said W et-zstein.

The more water there is, the more soil erosioncan be seen, explained Wetzstein.

“Rivers and str eams swell, sometimes theybreak over their banks. Any unpr otected ar ea,bare dirt unprotected by vegetation that encoun-ters enough water flow will erode,” he said.

PLATTSBURGH — If you’r e driving byMelissa L. Penfield Park this weekend andyou see hundr eds of animals, Melinda Clarkdoesn’t want you to be alarmed. In fact, shewants you to stop by,

Clark, assistant manager of the AdirondackHumane Society animal shelter, is heading upthis year ’s PetWalk, which celebrates its 17thyear this Sunday, May 1. Clark, who helpedoversee last year ’s event, said she’s lookingforward to welcoming dogs and their ownersto Melissa L. Penfield Park for what has be-come an event that draws hundreds each year.

“We’re doing a few things dif ferently thisyear, but it’s basically going to be the sameevent,” said Clark.

New this year will be an informational dis-play for Smart T ags, which of fers a way forowners to find their furry friends in the eventthey become lost or missing.

“It’s basically a collar with a tag on it thathas a microchip in it,” explained Clark. “It hasa tracking mechanism in it that can help youfind your cat or dog.”

Smart Tags are less invasive than pet iden-tification tags like HomeAgain, which are im-planted under the animal’s skin.

“HomeAgain is wonderful but some peoplewould rather have the chip on their pet with-out it being implanted,” said Clark.

The Adirondack Humane Society will alsorecognize local students who have raisedmoney for the shelter thr ough variousfundraisers such as ice cream socials and bot-tle drives.

“We just want to show our appreciation forwhat they’ve done,” said Clark.

The event will again consist of a walkthrough the park for pets and their ownersand “critter contests.”

“We have five categories,” explained Clark.“We have Loudest Bark, Highest Jumper, BestTrick, Fastest Tail Wag and the Pet and Own-er Look-Alike. That’s a fun one. W e’ve had

some good ones with that.”The community is welcomed to turn out for

the event to show their support for theAdirondack Humane Society, said Clark, withonly those wishing to participate in the walkrequired to pay a $10 registration fee that day.

“That will benefit the Humane Society ,”said Clark.

The event is expected to draw at least 100to 150 people, but Clark said she’d like to seeeven more turn out to break last year’s atten-dance of more than 200 people and their pets.

“It’s a great event and it’s great to see howmany people in the community appr eciateand support us. W e appr eciate them, too,”said Clark.

This Sunday’s event will begin at the Boyn-ton Avenue park with registration at 12 p.m.,followed by opening r emarks by honorarychairperson Jim Moor e, meteor ologist forWPTZ Newschannel 5. The walk will followimmediately after.

For mor e information about the PetW alk,call the Adirondack Humane Society at 561-7297.

They’ve finally done it. After years ofback and forth among Warren Coun-ty supervisors r egarding the pas-

senger train that r uns from North Cr eek toCorinth — during which time they dumpedhundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollarsinto a line often characterized as “the trainto nowhere” — they have committed to giv-ing it a wholehearted effort this time.

Six months of contractual negotiations be-tween the Warren County Board of Supervi-sors and potential operators has led to anagreement with Iowa Pacific Holdings LLC.The company hopes to have fr eight trainsrunning by July.

Supervisors should be commended forthis agr eement, which pr omises to be a fi-nancial boon to the county. It’s estimated therailroad will pr oduce $82,000 in r evenuethrough both tourist and fr eight traf fic thefirst year of operation, compar ed to the$19,500 generated in 2010.

For the first time in a long time, W arrenCounty should see a substantive r eturn onthe $8 million in grant money used to refur-bish the dilapidated railroad infrastructure,in hopes the region would reap the rewardsthrough trains carrying skiers and tourists tothe region.

In reality, that failed to happen, leaving lo-cal taxpayers crying foul as county leaderscontinued to thr ow good money after bad.Complicating matters was the agr eementthat grant monies would have to be paidback if the railroad weren’t used for its orig-inal intent.

Enter Iowa Pacific.The company handed W arren County a

proposed contract — inches thick — in De-cember of 2010, saying they saw an opportu-nity worth investing in. They said theyweren’t afraid to make it happen in upstateNew York or inside the Blue Line. This air ofconfidence from a company with a long his-tory of successfully operating railroads — italready owns six — is a welcome br eath offresh air.

Perhaps supervisors should have done itright the first time with this type of agr ee-ment instead of a line dedicated to a touristtrain — which Ed Ellis, the president of Iowa

Pacific Holdings LLC called a losing venture— but it now appears there is finally a lightat the end of the tunnel.

And it could not have come at a bettertime.

The withering economic infrastr ucture ofthe Adirondack Park has been making localpoliticians, business owners and r esidentssweat for years.

The reintroduction of fr eight on the linesof the Saratoga and North Cr eek Railr oadwill do much more than make the rails prof-itable, according to Ellis. Under the new con-tract, tourists trains will continue on thelines and will be joined by trains haulingfreight — potentially the best of both worlds.The presence of both will also open up op-portunities for bigger and better recreation-al opportunities including ski trains andcommuter services — to name a few.

Lastly, as the tracks continue from Corinthto the Amtrak lines of Saratoga and beyond,the possibility becomes very real of boardinga train in North Creek and rolling into PennStation in New York City several hours later.

That is just the sort of economic boost tothis region that people like former JohnsburgSupervisor Bill Thomas envisioned when hechampioned for a county takeover of the rail-

road lines a decade ago.It now appears the train to nowhere is in-

deed going somewhere.

A brief history of Iowa Pacific Holdings LLC

Formed in Mar ch of 2001 to acquir e rail-roads and cr eate rail-r elated businesses,Iowa Pacific focuses on small connector-railswith annual revenues of $10 million and less.It has successfully acquired and operated sixrailroads and adds Saratoga and NorthCreek Railway as its first in New York state.Iowa Pacific boasts hundreds of years of rail-industry experience and continuously seeksopportunities to incr ease rail fr eight busi-ness on railroads across the country throughgrowth of existing traffic, adding lines, relo-cation and expansion.

It seems we have a lot on our plates these days.Most every conversation seems to be focusedon the crisis events of the day . The list seems

endless depending on your point of view, state of lifeor how you may feel or be personally affected.

Let’s start with the high price of gasoline and heat-ing fuel. Add to it, the lack of a mor e focused ener-gy policy, conservation methods, and the ef fects ofthe devastating oils spill in the gulf.

How about the financial crises found in many lo-cal, state or federal governments, compounded bythe fr ustration over how they choose to spend thetaxes they collect?

The discord between political parties, candidatesand social classes affecting both worker and employ-er ’s rights is certainly cause for high-spirited debate.

What about the vicious storms that have swept across the U.S. andcountries ar ound the world causing earthquakes, tsunamis, torna-does, wild fir es, flooding, landslides, disease, lack of food, water ,housing and nuclear disaster?

Then there is the unr est in the Middle East, governments wagingwar on their people and the many innocents caught in between thevarious factions. We see wars, peacekeeping missions, the thr eats ofterrorism, senseless killing and destruction with no end in sight.

There are fears r egarding health insurance, Social Security , Medi-

caid, and other critical safety net programs.We see needless violence, random shootings, bullying

in our schools, drug use in society, violence at our south-ern borders and youth far too young to be committing sui-cide. We’ve r ecently r ead and hear d about airline con-trollers asleep in the contr ol towers, passengers left forhours on the tarmacs, collisions on the r unways and nomore free peanuts, pillows or blankets.

There is plenty to talk about when it comes to our stress-relieving pastimes with the NFL strike/lockout, enter-tainers who appear to self destruct due to abuses in theirlives, and athletes using performance enhancing dr ugs.We’ve got plenty of new age str ess, too, with identitytheft, computer companies tracking our every move, so-cial media going too far or not far enough.

I’m sure you can name dozens mor e I’ve missed naming, but youget the point. It seems the world and those of us sharing it are in realtrouble these days. How can we cope or live with so much negativeevents all around us?

I started writing this column last Satur day, prior to Easter servic-es, and hadn’t drafted the ending yet. Then Father Riani, of St. Eliz-abeth’s in Elizabethtown shared this simple story with his congrega-tion. It’s a story about a little water beetle.

AlexanderFrom page 6a little water beetle in a community of waterbeetles. They lived a simple and comfortable lifein the pond with few disturbances and inter-ruptions.

Once in a while, sadness would come to thecommunity when one of their fellow beetleswould climb the stem of a lily pad and wouldnever be seen again. They knew when this hap-pened; their friend was gone forever.

Then, one day, one little water beetle felt anirresistible urge to climb up that stem. How-ever, he was determined that he would not leaveforever. He would come back and tell his friendswhat he had found at the top.

When he reached the top and climbed out ofthe water onto the surface of the lily pad, he wasso tired, and the sun felt so warm, that he de-cided he must take a nap. As he slept, his bodychanged and when he woke up, he had turnedinto a beautiful blue-tailed dragonfly withbroad wings and a slender body designed forflying.

So, fly he did! And, as he soared he saw thebeauty of a whole new world and a far superi-or way of life to what he had never known ex-isted.

Then he r emembered his beetle friends and

how they wer e thinking by now he was dead.He wanted to go back to tell them, and explainto them that he was now more alive than he hadever been befor e. His life had been fulfilledrather than ended.

But, his new body would not go down intothe water. He could not get back to tell hisfriends the good news. Then he understood thattheir time would come, when they , too, wouldknow what he now knew . So, he raised hiswings and flew off into his joyous new life!

I, too, am distr essed about manycurrent events of the day, but that sto-ry seemed to sum up what I was think-ing with regards to this column.

We all fear the unknown, but withfaith in a higher authority and respectfor those of us her e in “our pond,”there is a r esiliency to persever e. Wecan spend our time worrying, fightingand complaining, or we can work to-gether to find a way to solve the prob-lems of the day and take satisfactionthat we did our best, befor e our timehere comes to pass.

Accentuate the positiveRegarding the recent swirl of controversy around the

Girls Gone Wild event at Therapy Nightclub and SportsLounge, I would like to point out a series of other eventsthat have also taken place in this establishment over thelast 6 months or so.

Since a series of mid-winter fir es plagued our com-munity, Therapy has teamed up with an or ganizationspearheaded by BubbaGonyo to of fer benefitsand charity events for dif-ferent causes in our com-munity. They started witha donations drive to bene-fit victims of house fir es;Therapy was the main col-lection site for this drive.From ther e, they havehosted a series of eventsfor sick children and theirfamilies to help them paymedical bills or enablethem to seek necessaryand life-saving tr eat-ments. These include: Re-lief for Riley and Miraclefor Marcus in March, Jammin’ for Jazzy in April, and anumber of upcoming events, like A Voice for Andrewnext weekend, Cherishing Christine, and Justice for theChildren in May.

For all of these events, Therapy has donated theirspace and staff time, and sometimes has donated food,beverages, or prizes to the events to help raise even morefunds. In addition to offering these benefits and charityevents, Therapy also hosts Zumba classes weekly and issponsoring a local softball team this year , called theTherapy Thumpers! Isn’t it great that Plattsburgh has anestablishment that offers such a diverse palate of enter-tainment options that appeal to various audiences?

Regardless of my personal feelings about Girls GoneWild, I think it’s important, always, to look at the big-ger picture. I encourage others to look at the whole bodyof work that this establishment is of fering before pass-ing too much negative judgment about an isolatedevent.

April’s recipe of the monthWhen a gardener thinks

of low gr owing, ever-green gr oundcover

shrubs, the most common plantsmentioned ar e junipers. Junipershave many merits that make themfine groundcover choices. They aredrought-tolerant, spread nice, andcome in a wide range of textur esand shades of green. But, junipersalso have their drawbacks. Theseplants do not do well in anyamount of shade and ar e host todiseases. In addition, many gar-deners, myself included, find theirprickly texture irritating to the skin. I break out ina rash anytime junipers touch my skin.

Because of juniper’s limitations, more and moregardeners are using Siberian or Russian cypr ess,(Microbiota decussata) in their landscapes. Beforewe get into the specific attributes of the plant, alittle botany and history on this plant might be ap-preciated.

This conifer belongs to the family Cupressaceaeand is somewhat closely r elated to junipers (Ju-niperus) and tr ue cypr ess (Cupr essus). In thewild, the plants hail fr om mountainous ar eas ofeastern Siberia. Due to the r emote location, thisplant was not discover ed until 1923. With all thesecrecy between the former USSR and the westernworld, this plant only became known to the west-ern world in the 1970s!

The plant is quite low — generally 18 inches in

height — but can spr ead up to 7feet. The foliage is ever green andarranged in flattened sprays withscale-like leaves. The cones ar every small and rather insignificant.Summer foliage is bright green butfrom late fall to mid-spring, plantsturn purplish-br own. The wintercolor pr ovides a wonderful con-trast in the winter garden, especial-ly combined with golden-color edconifers and ornamental grasses.

This conifer is exceptionallyhardy (zone 3 or sheltered areas ofzone 2) and in the landscape, can

easily rival the best spr eading or cr eeping ju-nipers. However, in my opinion, Siberian cypresssurpass junipers since they do not suffer from thehost of pests and diseases that plaque junipers.Full sun is best but they will tolerate mor e shadethan junipers. They are not fussy as to the soil aslong as it is well-drained and not too alkaline.

So, if you have a pr oblem spot in a r elativelyopen site and junipers are just not up to spec, thentry gr owing Siberian cypr ess. Some call it thegroundcover of the future!

PERU — Connor Sargeant has been livingwith diabetes for as long as he can r emem-ber.

The 11-year-old Peru Middle School stu-dent was diagnosed with T ype I diabeteswhen he was 5 years old. The chr onic dis-ease occurs when the body’s pancreas does-n’t pr oduce enough insulin to pr operlymaintain blood sugar levels.

Though he was a toddler when he was di-agnosed, Sar geant’s mother , Jill Folsom,said he doesn’t r emember how his life wasbefore being labeled a diabetic.

“As long as he r emember, he’s alwaysbeen diabetic,” said Folsom.

However, Folsom remembers the circum-stances surr ounding her son’s diagnosisvery well.

“Connor was in kindergarten and he hadnever r eally been sick,” r ecalled Folsom.“Then, all of a sudden, he started havingchronic ear infections and strep throat.”

Folsom, a r egistered nurse, began to be-come mor e curious about her son’s condi-tion, especially when he began wetting thebed and becoming “incredibly thirsty.”

“I was home with him on spring break andI started noticing mor e signs. It was then Ireally started to suspect it was diabetes,”said Folsom.

Folsom brought her son to the family doc-

tor, who then r eferred the family to an en-docrinologist in Burlington, Vt. That’s whenFolsom learned of her son’s diagnosis.

“Life changed,” she recalled.Sargeant’s life since that day has consist-

ed of constantly monitoring his blood sug-ar levels, r equiring several finger sticks aday. These days, his diabetes is well-moni-tored and under control thanks to an insulinpump and support from family, friends andschool staff who regularly remind Sargeantabout checking his blood sugar . However,there have been times when his levels havebeen very high — ar ound 800 mg/dl — tovery low — as low as 26 mg/dl. Sar geant’slevel should be between 80-120 mg/dl, saidhis mother.

“He never lost consciousness when it gotdown to 26, which was the strangest thing,”said Folsom.

Though Sar geant’s experience of livingwith Type I diabetes is one he shrugs off aspart of his everyday r outine, he and hismother both want to raise awareness aboutthe autoimmune disease. And, to that end,Sargeant and his family will be guests ofhonor at the Walk to Cure Diabetes this Sat-urday, April 30, at the PARC Oval in Platts-burgh.

“It’s important to get the word out aboutdiabetes and to r each out to other familiesout there living with it, so they know they’renot alone,” said Folsom.

The event — which will benefit JuvenileDiabetes Research Foundation Internation-al — will begin with registration at 9:30 a.m.The walk will follow at 11 a.m.

For more information, contact walk coor-dinator Karen Patterson at 477-2873.

Juvenile diabetes just part ofeveryday routine for one boy

Eleven-year-old Connor Sargeant of Peru, seen here with his mother, Jill Folsom, was diagnosed with Type Idiabetes at the age of 5. Sargeant and his mother will be raising awareness for juvenile diabetes this Satur-day, April 30, at the Walk to Cure Diabetes at the PARC Oval in Plattsburgh.

SARANAC LAKE — Sitting at a table atthe Blue Moon Café in Saranac Lake, KeeganMuldowney takes a break from his meal andrecalls that his desir e to volunteer and helphis community was sparked at an early age.

Keegan’s par ents have volunteer ed ascoaches for local sports teams, and he and hissiblings have done the same. It’s just some-thing that you do, he says.

But he says his decision to become a vol-unteer firefighter had a more personal mean-ing.

“I’ve had a lot of people in the fire servicein my family,” he said.

“I lost a cousin in 9/1 1 who was FDNY .That really hit home. After that, I felt like itwas my turn in my family. So as soon as I wasable to, I joined the fire department.”

And what Keegan calls volunteering, oth-ers may view as a full-time job. He curr ent-ly works for the Lake Placid Police Depart-ment as a parking enforcement officer, helpsout at the Lake Placid Volunteer Fire Depart-ment, volunteers as a coach for a number ofyouth sports teams, and is an active memberof the Saranac Lake V olunteer Fir e Depart-ment.

He’s driven, dedicated, energetic – exact-ly the sort of r ecruit fir e departments ar elooking for.

And he’s in short supply.In r ecent years, volunteer fir e depart-

ments in New York have seen a dramaticdrop-off in membership. The numbers varywidely acr oss the state – but her e in theAdirondacks, many fir e departments haveseen membership decline by some 15 per-cent.

“For the first time, I can’t tell you in howlong, we’ve not had an actual high schoolstudent join our junior program – so that waskind of our first red flag. We’re down signif-icantly over the probably three or four years,probably 10 to 15 per cent easily, with ourmembership,” said Rusty Hall, chief of theKeene Valley Volunteer Fire Department.

According to Hall, his department totalsabout 25 members – that includes fir efight-ers and emer gency r esponders. He’s beenwith the department for more than 37 years,and he recalls periods when membership ranin the 40s.

In Warrensburg, a community nearly threetimes larger than Keene, the fire departmenthas 28 members. And the average age of eachmember is approximately 50.

So the pr oblem facing many of these de-partments is two-fold. As Hall notes, there’snot only a need for mor e firefighters, but aneed for younger recruits.

On the surface, dwindling volunteer totalsrepresent a risk to public safety . It doesn’ttake an expert to draw the conclusion that anundermanned fire department isn’t as effec-tive.

Rusty Hall notes that, simply put, mor evolunteers translates to a mor e efficient fireand rescue operation.

“It most definitely makes it easier ,” hesaid. “For instance, I’m out of town duringthe course of the day , so we ultimately r unon skeleton cr ews during the course of thebusiness day, and we have to r ely more on

our neighbors, and if they , in turn, ar e run-ning on skeleton crews, the job just gets thatmuch more difficult.”

But there’s another factor at play here – asort of “what if?” factor.

What if numbers continue declining andvolunteer fire departments start vanishing?

Obviously, communities will still need fireand rescue service.

“Several years ago, it was estimated thatif we had to pay our volunteers, in New Yorkstate it would cost over $7 billion a year.”

That’s Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, aNorth Country lawmaker who says the stateneeds to step up to the plate and better sup-port volunteer fire and rescue personnel.

“We’ve done some little things, like givingout a $100 tax cr edit here and ther e. We al-low communities to give them pr operty taxreductions. But we don’t really do anythingin the lar ger scheme of things to encouragethem not only to come in, but stay in,” shesaid.

According to Sayward, state mandates re-quire fir e and r escue personnel to under gohours of sometimes costly training. Andthose training sessions often take place milesaway from home, she adds.

But for young volunteers like Keegan Mul-downey, too much training isn’t a deterrent.

“There’s no substitution for training – lackof training is how people get hurt,” he said.“Simply put, that’s how it is. Yes, it’s dif fi-cult sometimes to make the trainings and tofinish them and to get certified, but lack oftraining is how people get hurt.”

Seasoned fir e and r escue of ficials likeRusty Hall, or Saranac Lake’s First AssistantChief Casey Taylor, say it’s life that often getsin the way for potential volunteers.

Taylor says it’s sometimes dif ficult to r e-tain older volunteers, especially those withspouses, childr en, and full-time jobs, be-cause the role requires time and dedication.

And Muldowney says it’s no mystery whyyounger volunteers are hard to find.

“They’re either at school or at work,” hesaid. “The availability is tough, because youhave an unstable life when you’r e youngthese days.

Unless you get right out of college with astable career, you don’t have a stable incomeand a stable schedule wher e you can r eallycommit to yourself and commit to your de-partment that you’re going to be there.”

Sayward has intr oduced a bill in the As-sembly that would allow volunteer firefight-ers to send their children to a state college oruniversity for four years fr ee-of-charge, solong as they’ve belonged to a department forat least five years, among other stipulations.

“We have to do something significant likethat,” Sayward said.

But in a state wher e lawmakers ar e look-ing to slash spending, even for critical serv-ices like health care and public safety, look-ing to Albany may not be the best solution.

That’s why fir e departments statewidehosted the first-ever statewide unified fir e-fighter recruitment day earlier this month.

The idea, accor ding to Essex CountyEmergency Services Dir ector DonaldJaquish, was to open the doors at fire stationsand show the public what volunteering isabout.

In Keene Valley, visitors got to check outthe facilities and try on turnout gear. And thedepartment signed up one new member, ac-cording to Rusty Hall.

That might not seem like much, but as Hallpoints out, one extra person can often meanthe difference between life and death in cer-tain situations.

Hall says volunteering as a fir efighterwon’t make you rich or famous – but the ful-fillment is there nonetheless.

“The personal r ewards can be ther e, andfortunately in the number of years I’ve beenable to serve my community, I’ve gotten a lotof those rewards,” he said.

Keegan Muldowney says getting involvedwith the fir e department has been r eward-ing. But he stresses that it goes beyond that– getting involved, he says, is part of the cy-cle that keeps communities vibrant.

“Even when I was playing high schoolfootball, my coaches always pr eached thatwhen you are at the point in your life whenyou are able to, you need to give back, justlike the people that are giving to you now.”

Keegan Muldowney, along with Taylor Atwell and Zac Saulsgivier, wait for their turn during a fire ve-hicle drill during a training session in Keeseville last summer.

PLATTSBURGH — The State Univer-sity of New York at Plattsbur gh is sus-pending the Canadian studies and geog-raphy majors programs in the wake of agrowing budget deficit.

University Pr esident Dr. John C. Et-tling said the r ecent announcement theState Legislatur e will cut funding forSUNY campuses and hospitals in its2011-12 budget by $170.1 million hasadded to the already troublesome situa-tion for the SUNY Plattsburgh campus,which has been facing a $4.3 milliondeficit.

“Right now , we don’t know whatshare of the most recent budget cut toSUNY this campus will be asked tobear,” Ettling said. “Fr om the scenar-ios we’ve been given, in the best sce-nario we could expect to see a $900,000cut ... the worst, a $2.3 million cut.”

The university has been making a se-ries of cuts to its budget since fall 2008,said Ettling, to combat the financialchallenges it has seen over the lastthree years. The cuts include the r e-duction of its workfor ce since 2008equivalent to 60 full-time employees— not exactly 60 employees, noted Et-tling — saving the university approxi-mately $3.3 million in salaries alone.

However, overall cuts amount to ap-proximately $3.9 million — nearly ahalf-million shy of the total deficit fac-ing the university.

“It would be considerably lar ger ifwe hadn’t already been cutting budg-ets for the last two and a half years,”said Ettling.

The suspension of the bachelor’s de-gree pr ograms for Canadian studiesand geography — which will amountto an estimated savings of $300,000 —was the r esult of r etirements in eachdepartment and low enr ollments, saidEttling. When reviewed by the universi-ty, the Canadian studies pr ogram hadonly four students enrolled toward a ma-jor, said Ettling.

Dr. Mark P. Richard, coordinator of theCanadian studies program, said the pro-gram actually started the curr ent aca-demic year with thr ee students and r e-cruited six more as the year progressed.The low numbers are hardly news to theuniversity, Richard said.

“It’s always been a small pr ogramhere at the college,” Richar d said. “But,that shouldn’t be taken as a measur e ofthe str ength of the Canadian Studiesprogram, because we of fer a number ofcourses. Typically, 600-700 students ayear take courses with a Canadian Stud-ies prefix.”

The suspension of the Canadian stud-

ies major — which Richard said there hasbeen no indication it will be r einstated— will begin this fall with the 2011-12 ac-ademic year and is something Richar dconsiders a major loss for the university.

“SUNY Plattsbur gh was one of onlytwo institutions of higher education inthe United States to of fer a major inCanadian Studies,” Richard said, addingthe other is at Western Washington Uni-versity in Bellingham, Wash. “So, this ispart of our identity her e at the collegeand part of what distinguishes usamongst the SUNY institutions.”

Emily O'Hara, a senior at PlattsburghState majoring in the Canadian studiesprogram, said she consider ed the dr op-ping of the Canadian studies major “tru-ly unfortunate news.”

“The pr ogram, which often r eceivesfunding fr om external sour ces in theform of grants and co-operative partner-ships, has established a credible reputa-tion at SUNY Plattsburgh,” said O’Hara,who called the program “one of the mostcomprehensive and multi-disciplinaryregional studies pr ograms in the coun-try.”

The Canadian Studies pr ogram has“ingrained” itself in campus cultur e,said O’Hara, and its r emoval fr om thecurriculum will affect more people thanonly those who ar e majors or minors inthe subject. O’Hara said she’s awar e ofthe university’s curr ent financial situa-

tion and added she is “confident that theschool's administrators are making theirbest professional judgment in their deci-sion-making process.” However, O’Haradid add she has concern for other cours-es being cut.

“I just hope that this decision does notparlay into or form a pattern of cuttingadditional degr ee pr ograms in theSchool of Liberal Arts and Sciences,” shesaid.

Though the Canadian studies majorhas been eliminated, the course of studyin the program will still be available, Et-tling emphasized, and will not af fectstudents curr ently enr olled for with aCanadian studies or geography major.

“We’ve eliminated the major , but weretained the minor , we r etained cours-es,” he said. “W e still have a minor inCanadian studies. We still have the Cen-ter for the Study of Canada. All thosethings ar e her e, r obust and not goingaway.”

“Geography will continue to teachgeneral education courses and geogra-phy courses that pr ospective teachersneed ... W e’ll still pr ovide the servicecourses in geography necessary for peo-ple to become schoolteachers and to mi-nor in geography,” added Ettling.

The university will also close thedoors of the SUNY Technical AssistanceCenter, the noninstr uctional arm of thecollege which offers economic and com-munity development outreach services.The center, which has been in existence40 years, has not been bringing inenough money in r ecent years to coverthe center ’s annual operating expensesof approximately $150,000.

“In fact, they’ve been losing moneyfor us for several years now ,” said Et-tling.

Though it pr ovides a service to thecommunity, the center — which em-ploys a full-time dir ector and clericalspecialist — fell on the chopping blockbecause it doesn’t align with the univer-sity’s principal mission of educating stu-dents.

“So, they wer e vulnerable,” said Et-tling.

Other private or ganizations such asThe Development Corporation and theNorth Country Chamber of Commer cehave also established themselves in theregion since the T echnical AssistanceCenter was formed, of fering “essential-ly the same kind of work,” said Ettling,

The Technical Assistance Center willclose its doors June 30.

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsbur gh StateGospel Choir is carrying on a tradition and it’sone that’s lasted 20 years.

The choir — which consists of students, fac-ulty and staff from the State University of NewYork at Plattsbur gh and community membersfrom the Plattsburgh area and Burlington, Vt. —is busily pr eparing for their 20th annualGospelfest, to be held this weekend at the uni-versity campus.

Choir dir ector Dr. Dexter L. Criss said theevent originated with students in the fall of1991. Michelle Noble-Coursey, a charter mem-ber of the choir , was a sophomor e at the time,said Criss.

“She stated that they wanted to sing the songswhich they gr ew up with fr om home andchurch; while others were just wanting to enrichtheir college experience,” said Criss.

The choir, which was “small but full of ambi-tion and hope” at the time, said Criss, estab-lished Gospelfest as a festival of music from thegospel genr e. And, it’s an event that’s devel-

oped a huge following, he added.“The Plattsbur gh State students, staf f and

surrounding communities have embraced thechoir. When one person attends the concert theyalways bring another person with them to thenext concert because of what they had experi-enced previously,” said Criss.

The event includes performances by the 70-member choir and a 9-piece band, as well as theStep Team, Praise Dancers, and Praise T eam,making it “a wonderful family event,” saidCriss.

“We see little childr en dancing with theirgrandparents, sons with their moms and, yes,dads with their daughters,” said Criss.

One of the focuses of the event is also to showgospel music is something that can be appr eci-ated by all, not just those who attend r eligiousservices on a regular basis.

“The first American music genre, gospel mu-sic, can be heard not only in churches across theglobe, but in stores, work places and communi-

ty events as well,” said Criss, who added hehopes to draw people to this weekend’s event.“We want people leaving the concert happy andinspired.”

Gospelfest will begin with the EndowmentFundraiser Dinner and Dance this Friday, April29, at the university’s Angell College Center onRugar Street. That event will be held in the War-ren Ballrooms beginning at 8 p.m. The cost ofadmission is $30.

The weekend will continue with theGospelfest performance Satur day, April 30, atthe college’s Hawkins Hall on Beekman Str eet.The concert will begin at 5 p.m. in the Giltz Au-ditorium. Admission will be $12 in advance or$15 at the door.

On Sunday, May 1, Br eakfast with the Choirwill be held in the Algonquin Dining Hall of fRugar Street, from 9 to 11 a.m. The cost is $10.

POTSDAM — The Crispy Critters is aband all about getting people out on thefloor and dancing.

The band — which formed back in 2009 atthe State University of New York at Potsdamcampus — consists of Steven Lilly and JonStewart, both on guitar and vocals, Jor danSmith on bass and vocals and Marty Hornon percussion and vocals. Friend SebastianMolnar sits in occasionally , playing dif fer-ent woodwind instruments.

The sounds of The Crispy Critters is oneStewart considers a mixture of many differ-ent sounds.

“The best way to describe our sound is acombination blues, funk, reggae and junglejazz,” said Stewart, who added the band’sfollowing comes fr om its “constant dance-ability.” “We all come fr om very dif ferentmusical backgrounds that helps allow us toexpand our repertoire continually.”

And, it works for them.The band’s main way of getting their mu-

sic out has mainly been by performing liveshows in their native Potsdam in the base-

ment of an old chur ch the r efer to as “TheCrispy Cathedral. However, they have tak-en their sound across the state at places likeRed Square in Albany, The Chance in Pough-keepsie, and, most recently, to the Monopolein Plattsburgh earlier this month. The April2 performance was the band’s first timeplaying Plattsburgh, and it was one that leftthem feeling encouraged to come back.

“Plattsburgh is a fun place to experience,”said Smith. “Everyone we have met has beenvery friendly and we love the interactionfrom the crowds in Plattsburgh.”

“We are very excited to return,” he added.The band would like to one day record an

album, but it’s just a matter of finding thetime, said Lilly

“Currently, we have the material, the mo-tive, and the equipment. The only thing welack is the time necessary for pr oducing athe quality in sound we would like,” he said.

(Editor’s Note: The Crispy Critters will r e-turn to the Monopole, 7 Pr otection Ave., nextFriday, May 6. The show will start at 9:30 p.m.The band’ s W eb site, www .thecrispycritters.com, is curr ently under construction but theycan be found on Facebook by sear ching for TheCrispy Critters.)

Although thelocal lakesand ponds

have been in winter’sicy grip for nearlyhalf a year, the seasonhas relented. On Fri-day, April 22, the icefinally went out andby the following af-ternoon; it appear edthree out of everyfour vehicles on theroad was car toppinga canoe or small boat.

Obviously, the enduring winterseason was no longer endearingand people just couldn’t wait for itto end. It seemed that everyonewas out sear ching for an openpond to paddle or a stream to fish.

Early season adventurers wouldbe wise to scout potential loca-tions, since ther e’s still a lot ofsnow in the woods, mud on thetrails and high water on thestreams. Travelers should be pr e-pared for sloppy conditions onland, and cautious of floating de-bris on the waters.

The combination of spring rainsand snowmelt has alr eady servedto kick of f the annual whitewaterseason. Rafters can again be foundon the mighty Hudson, whilekayakers seek out the swollencreeks.

The spring melt always gets meexcited, and I have long possessedan af finity for r ushing waters. Igrew up surr ounded by str eamsand rivers, with a small br ook inour backyard and a larger stream,just across the street.

The two flows join with the larg-er Boquet River , for the annualspring rush to fill Lake Champlainin Willsboro. Fr esh flowing wa-

ters once filled myboyhood dr eams,and they continue toprovide opportuni-ties for my adult ad-ventures.

Although I r elishthe advent of ice outon the ponds, ther eis nothing I look for-ward to with agreater degree of en-thusiasm than myannual canoe tripdown the Boquet. It

is a journey that earmarks the be-ginning of a new season; and pro-vides me with a return to my roots.

By most standards, the Boquet isa small river. It tumbles fr om theDix Range in the High PeaksWilderness in a rage of fr oth andfury, befor e settling into an inti-mate tangle of for ests, fields andmeadows as it flows gentlythrough the Pleasant V alley fr omNew Russia, thr ough Elizabeth-town, Lewis, Wadhams, Whallons-burg, Boquet and finally to W ills-boro and Lake Champlain.

Over the years, I’ve paddled amajority of the river ’s course,short of the pr ecipitous headwa-ters above Split Rock Falls. I’veenjoyed the whitewater of theSteele Woods section and I’ve runnumerous dr ops at Little Falls,Whallonsburg and Boquet.

I’ve been chased down the riverby cattle above W adhams, andwatched otters slide on the claybanks near Otis Mountain.

There is no finer method of get-ting to know a river , than to pad-dle it, and my first adventur e ofthe new season always involves acanoe trip fr om New Russia toElizabethtown.

It is a route that’s mostly flatwa-ter, with a few riffles and a coupleof tight moves. Invariably , thejourney involves a few carries toget around a logjam, or to haul thecanoe over a new timber thatstraddles the stream.

The r oute always pr ovides anadventure, the thrill of backcoun-try surprise and the exhilarationof exploring what lies just aroundthe next bend; will it be a deer, ot-ter or beaver.

Unfortunately, the river ’s oncethriving tr out fishery, which al-ways pr oduced outstanding op-

portunities, no longer exists. I canfind no one to explain why the up-per river appears to be so totallydevoid of fish life.

While paddling the same sec-tion over the past five years, I havenot taken a single tr out, nor haveI seen any evidence of suckers,minnows or creek chubs.

Bob Marshall, the r enownedconservationist, once claimedthat, “Each mile on a river willtake you further from home than ahundred miles on a road.”

Although it may be the case onmost flows, I’ve discover ed the

opposite holds true. Every mile Itravel on the Boquet, brings mecloser to home. It is a journey thatserves to r estore my youthfulsense of adventur e. The trip letsme be a kid again, if only for a day,and that sure is a nice place to be!
