The Patriot Flag comes to the North CountryBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

ROUSES POINT — Thevillage of Rouses Point isnow among the stops of afamous flag that is beingtoured across the nation.

The Patriot Flag, a largeAmerican f lag m easuring30 ft. by 60 ft., was broughtto the village last week aspart of the village’s annu-al Fourth of July festivi-ties. The flag has beentraveling thr oughout theUnited States as a way ofhonoring the victims of theSept. 11, 2001 terr orist at-tacks and invigorating pa-triotism in the people itmeets, with those in the

Northern Tier being no dif-ferent.

Hundreds of peopleturned out for a specialceremony July 1, held atthe Rouses Point VolunteerFire Department. Politicaldignitaries and local of fi-cials discussed the missionof The Patriot Flag and theimportance of r emember-ing the nearly 3,000 peoplewho lost their lives adecade ago.

BEEKMANTOWN — The BeekmantownCentral School district budget wasn’t as favor-able to voters the second time around.

The school district’s pr oposed $38,721,107budget for the 2011-12 school year was put backbefore voters June 30 wher e it was defeated1,335 to 843. The budget — which was initiallyapproved May 17 by a vote of 746 to 730 — wasordered by the state education commissioner tobe put up for a revote June 30 after it was foundone of three voting machines used was not up-dated for the election, and displayed last year'sfigures to voters.

District superintendent Scott A. Amo said hecould do nothing but speculate as to why thebudget wasn’t appr oved by voters a secondtime.

“It could be that the econ-omy is pressing on some fam-ilies in such harsh ways theyjust need to say know whenthe opportunity pr esents it-self,” said Amo, who em-pathized with those af fectednegatively by the economy .“[Taxpayers] can’t contr oltheir sewer costs, their water,their electric, their assess-

ments, so if they want the op-portunity to say ‘no’ to an in-crease in anything, schoolbudgets ar e r eally the onlytime you can do that.”

The pr oposition for thepurchase of four new schoolbuses at a cost of $406,153was also turneddown this time. Theproposition —which was previous-ly appr oved 4-4 to117 — was defeated1,099 to 1,049.

“This is some-thing we do everyyear,” Amo said ofpurchasing buses tokeep its fleet as up-to-date aspossible. “And, when you in-terrupt that cycle, it putssome buses closer to the endof their life expectancy.”

The superintendent saidhe could again only speculateas to why the pr oposition topurchase the buses was vot-ed down.

“I think any pr opositionthat would’ve been associat-ed with incr eases in costswould not have been seen as

favorable,” said Amo, whonoted many of the increasesin expenses in the comingyear ’s budget are due to un-funded state mandates.

“What we can’t control arethe mandates for which nomoney comes fr om the state

to do them,” said Amo.“These mandates may belaudable in their intent, butare a tremendous impositionfinancially o n d istricts i n atight economy.”

The next step for the dis-trict is for Amo to move for-ward with a continencebudget which will reduce anadditional approximately$500,000 from its bottom line.Amo said bluntly that theform of reductions will likely

be in personnel.“I have to see wher e I can

do s omething a nd h ave t heleast potential impact to stu-dents,” said Amo. “We’ve al-ready combed thr ough andwhat’s left is a huge num-ber.”

Amo noted thebudget that wasproposed alr eadycalled for a r educ-tion in personnelequal to 9.8 full-time positions thatwere mainly non-instructional posi-tions. However ,going to a contin-

gency budget will likely in-crease that number.

“I wish I didn’t have to doit,” said Amo, who noted thereductions would be dis-persed as equitably as possi-ble among the district’s fourschools.

The r eductions in staf fingwill need to be made prior tothe r eopening of school thisfall, with employees affectedby the cuts to be notified inthe coming weeks.

Commissioner discussesplan for ‘new New York’By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — Darrel J. Aubertine feelsthere’s been a gr eat deal of pr ogress in the sixmonths Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has been in of-fice, and he expects more good things in store tochange the way New York State conducts itsbusiness.

Aubertine — who serves in the governor ’scabinet a s c ommissioner o f t he s tate D epart-ment of Agriculture and Markets — was in townJune 30 to discuss the 201 1-12 state budgetprocess and Cuomo’s r eform agenda for NewYork. His appearance was fresh on the heels ofthe passage of two of the governor ’s major agen-da items – legalizing same-sex marriage and theestablishing of a 2 percent property tax cap.

Aubertine addr essed a cr owd of severaldozen people at the West Side Ballroom by firstapplauding the governor and others responsi-ble for the legislation and for getting the statebudget appr oved one day prior to the April 1deadline and for cutting $10 billion in spending.

“We changed the way, fundamentally, a budg-et is put together,” said Aubertine. “No longerdo we take last year ’s budget and add thr ee,four, five, six percent and call it done. No more.”

The budget included “no new taxes” and“ended automatic incr eases in futur e spend-ing,” said Aubertine. Through the cooperationof the state legislature, the governor, and otherelected officials and supporters, the idea of anon-time and fiscally-conservative budget be-came a reality, he said.

“These accomplishments didn’t occur in avacuum,” said Aubertine. “It wasn’t done by thegovernor all by himself and he’ll be the first oneto admit that. It was done in a way

“My hat is off to [Assemblywoman Janet L.Duprey, R-Peru] and everyone else who had ahand in passing the budget,” said Aubertine.

The passing of a leaner budget goes hand inhand with the governor ’s plan to bring r eformto Albany, said Aubertine. Reductions in over-inflated spending and in unfunded state man-dates ar e among the measur es taken for the2011-12 state budget and will be part of thebudget-making pr ocess under the Cuomo ad-ministration.

“It’s a new New York and it’s a new way ofdoing business,” said Aubertine.

Cuomo’s actions since taking office have beenin line with what he said while r unning for of-fice, said Aubertine and exemplify a slogan onthe podium from which Aubertine spoke, whichread “Promises made. Promises kept.”

“The governor made commitments during hiscampaign, during his State of the State addresshe made commitments,” said Aubertine. “And,since that point, we’ve seen New York State

move forwar d on m any, if not, almost everyfront that the governor identified when hestepped forward initially.”

Cuomo’s reform agenda aims to make “greatstrides t o t ransform Albany,” s aid Aubertine,calling for mor e public-private partnershipslike the Power for Jobs pr ogram and establish-ing regional councils that “make sure the NorthCountry is heard as go forward developing anoverall economic development plan for thestate.”

“If I had showed up her e just befor e Christ-mas last year and told you we wer e going tohave this kind of an agenda and we were goingto have this kind of results, you would’ve heck-led me right out of the r oom,” said Aubertine.“And, I pr obably would’ve gone willinglythinking, ‘What am I saying?’”

However, the governor ’s sincerity for hisagenda, coupled with the support of lawmakersin Albany, has led to a plan that the state canmove forward with, said Aubertine.

“Are we going to agree on every issue all ofthe time? Of course not,” said Aubertine. “Ithink that’s unr ealistic at best. But the fact ofthe matter is, what the governor and the legis-lature have been able to do is restore that senseof trust and sense of pride in being a New York-er.”

“I think that the average New Yorker today,feels more confident and mor e tr ust in what’sgoing on,” said Aubertine. “Washington todaycould use a little more of what’s going on in Al-bany today.”

Darrel J. Aubertine, commissioner of the stat e De-partment of A griculture and M arkets, addresses acrowd at the West Side Ballroom in Plattsburgh June30. Aubertine discussed the 2011-12 stat e budgetprocess and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s reform agen-da for New York.

Once again we are being told weare at the brink of financial dis-aster. If no agreement between

the houses and the president is agreed toby month's end, the country will surpassthe debt ceiling in early August. Thosewho understand the inner workings of thefederal government warn that if a deal isnot in place by the 22nd of July that wewon’t have time avoid a default.

While the debt limit has been adjusted al-ready once this year in early May to $14,294trillion, an attempt to bump it to $16.7 tril-lion was defeated in late May . Since 2001,Congress has voted to raise the debt limit 10times.

With neither side talking to each other atthis point it, would appear as we reach theprecipice, both sides will agr ee on yet an-other debt limit increase in place of solvingthe issues that divide the two sides and inmany ways divide our country.

The president and Democrats want tax in-creases on the richest Americans, thosethey’ve identified as earning $250,000 ormore annually, combined with spending

cuts. The Republicans wantthe deficit r eduction strictlyon the spending side with notax increases.

I’ve yet to meet anyonewho favors tax incr eases onthemselves, but it’s OK if theyare leveled on someone else.President Obama speaks ofmillionaires and billionair eswho should be incr eased butwhen he includes those earn-ing only a quarter of thatamount, it’s somewhat disin-genuous. According to thedata from the IRS, the country’s top 10 per-cent wage earners pay appr oximately 70percent of the federal income taxes while 47percent of the wage earners at the lowestend of the wage scale pay no federal incometaxes. The pundits will spin these numbersmany ways to build a case from their per-spective, but clearly the top wage earnersare doing their share already.

The problem as I see it, is not who paysmore or less, nor who’s right, the Democratsor the Republicans. If we let the two partieswork this out, they’ll never solve the debtproblem let alone any of a number of majorissues facing the country. Ninety percent ofAmericans who vote will fall behind oneparty line or another and it’s as clear as theday is long how you view these issues. The

divide between the sides isgetting deeper and far mor eentrenched i n t heir p osition.We haven’t had fisticuf fsbreaking out in Congr ess yet,but clearly it would appear weare headed in that direction.

In reality it’s those 10 per-cent of Americans who votedin the last election and willvote in the next election ar ethe ones who swing the major-ity one way or the other.

They were all for “Change”in 2008 when the Republicans

ruled the r oost. By 2010, they swung awayfrom the Democrats they put in char ge andback to Republican candidates.

The problem is we need fewer liberals andconservatives in elected of fice and mor enon-partisan Americans who are willing tobegin to address the issues and start solvingsome of the problems before the parties runthis country into the ground with their con-sistent ideological battles. I think most of usget tired of the parties beating the other sideinto the ground when they are both respon-sible for the mess we find ourselves today.

President Lincoln said, “A house dividedagainst itself can not stand,” back in 1858when the country was split over the issue ofslavery. But was it r eally about slavery orwas it about economics and finances? His

point back then was that one side or the oth-er would eventually win out. W ithin a fewyears, the country was plunged into a terri-ble civil war that nearly destr oyed theUnion. The loss of life and destr uction washorrific as brother fought against brother.

Today we find rhetoric and anger has beengrowing over the past several decades witheach side growing farther apart. The partiesseem to be split on nearly every issue andwhile we’re a long way from a civil war thetime to solve these issues is now , not later.If the parties or their leaders can’t make ithappen, then we need to start getting moreinvolved and demand mor e accountabilityfrom our elected officials.

With the 2012 pr esidential campaignsstarting to heat up, I wonder if Liebermanand McCain had it right in 2008, when Mc-Cain consider ed Lieberman as his VP r un-ning mate. If we can’t get a true independ-ent in the highest of fice, per haps we needone from each party who can agree to worktogether and lead their parties to the tableto reach true compromise. We all know thatwon’t happen, but clearly something needsto change the tr end or I fear we ar e in formore of the same as we zigzag from one elec-tion to another and the divide once againthreatens the Union.

It’s time to bring things together in thetown of Westport. Since 2002, a com-mittee made up of members of the

Town of Westport and Department of Pub-lic Works, Westport Central School Districtand Westport Volunteer Fir e Departmenthave been working to find a way to upgradetheir bu ildings w hile ke eping t axes d ownfor members of the municipalities.

Their proposal is a new municipal center,which will house all four entities in oneform or another , fr om town of fices, court-house, garage bays and repair facilities.

After a f ailed v ote o ver a y ear a go, t hecommittee has sent the proposed bond res-olution back before the voters, hoping thatthe second time and an increase of public in-formation sessions and communication willreverse a seven-vote defeat.

Voting in favor of this measure is the rightway to go, not only for the futur e of West-port but for the futur e of the North Coun-try.

For years, the New York State Comptrol-ler ’s office, as well as state lawmakers likeElizabeth “Betty” Little and Teresa Say-

ward, have been advocating shar ed servic-es among municipalities, and a combinedbuilding to house multiple entities is theperfect e xample o f h ow t hese g roups c anwork together to save taxpayers money.Westport could be an example for the stateto use, showing others how to work togeth-er.

While thr ee smaller buildings may costless in terms of building, you ar e going topay thr ee times as much for engineeringstudies, planning, zoning pr ocess, permit-ting, labor, heating, maintenance and gen-eral costs incurred by running a municipalbuilding. That puts an added long-termburden on the taxpayers of the communitythat is not needed or wanted. In short, wefeel that a vote against this project would bea vote for incr eased taxes over the longterm, which is something no one wants toface, anywhere.

Many municipalities in the North Coun-try are faced with this issue. Buildings donot last as long because of the harsh weath-er conditions. V ehicles cannot be le ft o ut-side in the cold months, either because the

water in a fir e tr uck would fr eeze or thestress of starting vehicles in cold weatherwould severely decrease the life of the ve-hicles, adding more on the backs of the tax-payers.

Most towns are facing the same decisionswith multiple pr operties, and, as W estportSchool Board member Dwayne Stevens saidat a recent meeting, four walls to take car eof is better than 12 or more.

This plan would also get two pieces ofproperty back onto the tax rolls in theWADA building and the curr ent site of thefirehouse. Even if the worst-case scenario isrealized and these buildings have to be tak-en down, they ar e both pr operties in theheart of the downtown ar ea and would beprofitable on the tax rolls.

It also doesn’t take any more property offthe tax rolls, since the site would be built onthe curr ent town shed pr operty. Buildingelsewhere — like the W estport IndustrialPark, would mean a loss in revenue for thetown, even with no one curr ently buildingthere.

Every municipality knows that the mor e

money they can get on the tax rolls, the lessimpact it will have on all. If you have threepieces of tax-exempt property and you canadd even just one of those parcels back ontothe rolls — building or not — you do it.

We do empathize with the loss of a townhall near what is consider ed the town cen-ter, but, in all honesty, we now live in an au-tomotive society where it is not a har dshipto travel an extra mile for services. For sen-timental r easons, it should stay . However,the WADA building in Westport used to bea hub of teenage activity fr om communitycenter nights to dances and other events.None of that happens there now.

Times change. In or der to keep up withthe times, we must as well.

Westport’s shared community building could be a state model

LettersFrom page 4filled with same-sex imagery .Mass Media has alr eady begunproviding our youth with same-sex “expr essions of love;” andnow that our State has decr eedthat same-sex r elationships ar e“normal,” we can expect an on-slaught of same-sex imagery thatwill desensitize and indoctrinateall of our future generations.

What two adults do in the privacy of their home is theirbusiness, but when it involves bringing it out into the openand shaping the minds of our children; then, we all have theobligation to stand up.

Assemblyperson Janet Dupr ey said ther e “will always bebigots” who oppose gay rights. The gay-marriage vote wasnot about “rights,” it was about r edefining what is “right.”And it was about the very souls of our children.

“Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to stepover the ocean, and cr ush us at a blow? Never! — All thearmies of Eur ope, Asia and Africa combined, with all thetreasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their militarychest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force,take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge,in a trial of a Thousand years. At what point, then, is the ap-proach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us,it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. Ifdestruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author andfinisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time,or die by suicide.” — Abraham Lincoln, 1838.

Policy key to chickens in the cityThe rising cost of fuel should for ce us to take a har d look

at our food supply and how vulnerable it is to instable prices.The shift in prices and availability of fuel is likely to hit placesharder where discretionary income is mor e limited, particu-larly rural regions such as ours.

These pressing problems create opportunities to change ourattitudes toward the food we eat and where it comes from. Asbackyard gardens have gr own in popularity, so has a r esur-gence of hobbyists keeping a small number of hens to supplya family with eggs and the entertainment that pet chickensprovide.

This new movement is being adopted by cities acr oss thecountry. In Rochester , for example, r esidents who want tokeep chickens pay $25 for a license which, in the city limits,is limited to no roosters and no commercial breeding. Coopsmust be kept 25 feet away fr om houses and must pr ovide aminimum of four square feet of room per bird. The coop set-up must be inspected before adding chickens, to make sure itprovides enough space and healthy conditions for the birds.

Sensible policies such as this would not be dif ficult to en-act in Plattsburgh. And while I myself live out in the country,

where I keep six bir ds in a coop and enclosed r un, I believethrough thoughtful, well-crafted policy , chickens can be in-troduced to urban ar eas with minimal impact. Everyoneshould have the right to make decisions that aim to strength-en food security and I urge city residents to consider a changeto ordinances that prohibit pet chickens.

Legislation overlookedThe State Legislature accomplished a lot this year, but one

important reform was conspicuously left out – passage of thelegislation know as the “Fraud T ax Bill” that would crackdown on crisis-level auto insurance fraud in New York State.

No fault auto accident fraud is one of the fastest gr owingcrimes in New York State, yet it is not expr essly illegal. It isone of the reasons New Yorkers pay 53% more for auto insur-ance than drivers in other states. Almost $1 billion has beenstolen from New Yorkers in the past five years alone, accord-ing to studies, by organized criminal enterprises that stage ac-cidents and run up phony bills with the help of a handful ofcrooked doctors. But the Legislatur e refused to do anythingabout it this year.

The state didn’t even pass a common-sense measure called“Alice’s Bill” that would make staging an auto accident inNew York a standalone crime. The bill was named after a 71-year old New York grandmother who was killed when her wasstruck during a staged accident.

The state legislatur e is r umored to be r eturning this sum-mer to clean up unfinished business from the 2011 legislativesession. Auto insurance fraud reform must be on that list.

Anyone who gr ows toma-toes r egularly, does notforget the late blight epi-

demic that hit the area two years ago.In 2009, the blight was br ought upvery early in the season on a ship-ment of tomatoes from the south. Wethen had the ideal condition for theblight to spr ead as the weather wascool and wet all summer long. Manyavid gardeners are now desperate forany news of late blight in the area.

So far no late blight has been foundin the area this year. Early in the sea-son, blight was found in a gr een-house in Maine, which was quickly eliminated. Re-cently, late blight was found in Long Island. Ifweather conditions ar e good, late blight couldeventually make its way up to the North Countryon storm fronts. While this is not a death sentencefor our tomatoes and potatoes this year , it doesmean that we should be vigilant for any signs ofthe disease in our gardens.

The earliest symptoms of the disease are brownspots, or lesions, on the leaves and stems of thetomato and potato plants. The lesions begin assmall, firm spots that are olive-green in color andquickly grow in size. The spots ar e slightly fuzzyand white when conditions have been humid suchas early in the morning or after the rain. Sometimesthe border of the spots is yellow and has a water -soaked appearance. The lesions can develop on thefruit. Once infected, the stems and fr uit quicklycollapse and rot.

Any home gar dener wishing totry to contr ol late blight withfungicides needs to begin spray-ing fungicide befor e symptomsappear. There is no treatment thatoffers one hundr ed per cent con-trol, but copper and products con-taining cholorthalonil can of fersome pr otection. Befor e applyingany fungicides, home gar denersshould thoroughly read any prod-uct’s instructions and follow themcarefully. Over application offungicides or not waiting theproper amount of time between

application and harvest may be harmful. Even ifusing a fungicide, gardeners should inspect for lateblight symptoms r egularly and immediately con-tact your local Cornell Cooperative Extension ifsymptoms do appear . If your plant is diagnosedwith late blight, it will need to be destroyed imme-diately to prevent the disease from spreading.

Late blight is very destructive. If no action is tak-en it will kill plants faster than any other disease.But the good news is, the disease is still hundredsof miles away fr om us. Late blight often makes ayearly appearance on Long Island without evermaking its way north. If we are luckily, all we willhave to do is monitor our gar dens for the diseaseand never see it here this year!

How to prepare for dreaded late blightYes, it’s tr ue, exer-

cise does a bodygood, but it is also

true that virtually any kindof exer cise can r educestress as well. Exercise im-proves your overall healthand sense of well-being.

Some of the direct stressreducing benefits you willsee from exercising will be:

Increased EndorphinProduction - Endorphinsare the feel-good neur o-transmitters pr oduced bythe brain. Often r eferred to as a “r un-ners high” other forms of exercise suchas going for a hike or playing soccer cancontribute to the same feeling.

Exercise can be meditative - I oftenget this feeling after swimming laps inthe pool. You are “in the moment” fo-cusing on your form and br eathing.Therefore not giving into mindlessthoughts and distractions fr om yourdays stresses. Your tensions will slowlydissipate leaving you with a clear ermind and more positive outlook.

Exercise can help to impr ove yourmood - Regular exer cise can incr easeconfidence and lower symptoms associ-ated with mild depression and anxiety.This can ease your levels of str ess andgive you a sense of contr ol over your

body and life.To get started with

and exercise programyou’ll want to firstconsult your doctor .Remember to gradu-ally build up yourprogram; you’ll bemore likely to stick toit if you don’t over doit in the beginning. Dowhat you love. Exer-cise should be fun andyou are more likely tocontinue to do some-

thing that you enjoy rather than dread.Pick a time and stick to it. Consider itlike an appointment to yourself, yourhealth, and your well being. Schedule itin if you have to. Set some goals andstrive to achieve them. Find a friend tohelp keep each other motivated, andchange up your r outine often to keepyour body guessing and to keep thingsexciting. If you ar e not sur e wher e tostart, or if you ar e not certain that youare going about things pr operly, youmay want to consult with a qualified fit-ness professional.

PLATTSBURGH — Each year , hundreds ofbutterflies are released into the skies over thecity of Plattsburgh, creating a spectacle meantto memorialize those who lost their battleswith terminal illnesses.

The skies over Melissa L. Penfield Parkwere recently filled with mor e than 100 suchMonarch butterflies as Hospice of the NorthCountry hosted its annual butterfly r elease.The event has been held the past six years inPlattsburgh, said Hospice of the North Coun-try dir ector for development Amanda Bow,and has been a way for many who have lost aloved one to cope with the emptiness they feel.

“It’s important that we remember and hon-or our loved ones even if they ar e no longerhere with us,” said Bow. “Releasing a butter-fly is just one way we can do that.”

“It’s a very special and beautiful way to cel-ebrate a person and their life,” she added.

Though something that has become a tradi-tion in the community, the butterfly release isnot necessarily something everyone partici-pates in, Bow acknowledged. One such personwho had never been to the event is AngiePayant of Harkness. However, after losing herhusband, John Payant, to liver cancer last Sep-tember, she felt it was a way to honor his life.

“He had a long struggle,” she recalled. “Hewas diagnosed with stage four and died aboutsix months after to the day. In fact, he passedaway the day after my birthday. He promisedme he wouldn’t die on my birthday.”

What Payant felt was particularly movingabout the butterfly r elease was that her but-terfly didn’t fly away immediately after it wasset fr ee fr om its paper enclosur e. In fact, ittook many minutes of coaxing for it to evenleave her hands.

“It means that he’s still here ... that he does-n’t want to leave me,” she said as she chokedback tears. “It says his journey is still going onand though he’s not physically her e with mehe’s still here in some way.”

“It’s amazing. John never did want toleave,” said John’s sister , Theresa Payant, asshe watched the butterfly rest on her sister-in-law’s hand before it finally flew away.

It’s providing an event that gives some formof symbolism to participants like Payant thatBow said is important with the butterfly r e-lease.

“We are glad to offer this opportunity to ourHospice families and to all community mem-bers,” she said. “W e hope this event gr owseach year as mor e and mor e people learnabout it. Those who attend seem to really en-joy it and many ar e very moved by the expe-rience.”

Angie Payant of Harkness holds a butterfly during the annual Hospice of the North Country Memorial But-terfly Release held recently at Melissa L. Penfield Park in Plattsburgh.

Janice A. Opal, Mor-risonville, and Elli Collins,Plattsburgh, wer e given thehonor this year at the annualTreasure Chests Soirée held re-cently at the Rainbow and Ban-quet Hall.

Opal was honored for her in-volvement in every known can-cer awar eness or ganization inthe North Country, being activein the annual Plattsburgh Relayfor Life, Reach to Recover, andthe Treasure Chests breast can-cer support group. Her partici-pation in “Camp Braveheart,”an oncology camp for womenwith br east cancer , and per-forming with “The Boobie Sis-ters,” a musical comedy gr oupconsisting of breast cancer sur-vivors, also topped the list forher accomplishments read dur-ing the awards ceremony.

“Jan’s positive attitude andcourage during diagnosed andtreatment have been an inspira-tion to all,” Dr . Robert Heinsread fr om a plaque made inOpal’s honor.

Opal said when the awar dwas first established, she saidwanted to one day aspire to bethe kind of person ElizabethHeins was known for being andfit the criteria of who an hon-oree would be.

“I didn’t want to with the in-tent of winning the awar d, butdoing the things this representswas a goal to become a betterperson,” she said.

Collins was applauded forher work with the Reach to Re-covery pr ogram and beingsomeone to turn to in her r oleas an oncology clinical nursespecialist.

“Elli is admired and loved byall,” said Heins. “Y ou can callon her anytime and she alwaysknows the right thing to say.”

“It’s a r eal honor, because Ihave been doing this for so longand I probably know thousandsof people who have gone

through br east cancer ,” saidCollins. “All the people that Imeet are my inspiration.”

Though Collins has neverhad cancer herself, she knowsthe importance of being ther efor people who have — and ithits close to home.

“My sister is a 24-year sur-vivor [of br east cancer],” saidCollins. “In one way or anoth-er, unfortunately , everyoneeventually has some sort ofconnection to cancer.”

The Elizabeth R. Heins Inspi-rational Survivorship Awardwas established in 2005 by theTreasure Chests br east cancersupport group, through CVPHMedical Center, in memory ofElizabeth Heins. The awar d isgiven in honor of Heins, whobattled several medical issues,including breast cancer.

Opal and Collins now jointhe list of past recipients of theaward, which includes Grace-lyn Murphy , Cindy T opnick,Marie Beemer , Libby Goller ,Barb Nephew and BonnieBerry.

PLATTSBURGH — Whenthere are days where it’s niceto go for a str oll with yourchildren, ther e’s somethingRita Mitchell says youshould keep in mind.

Mitchell, principal sanita-tion with the Clinton Coun-ty Health Department’s de-partment of envir onmentalhealth, said it’s very impor-tant to understand potentialdangers when you en-counter what you may thinkare cuddly canines.

“Several hundr ed animalbites ar e r eported everyyear,” said Mitchell. “Themajority of them ar e chil-dren between the ages of 5and 9 and it’s usually chil-dren who ar e playing withdogs but not sur e how toplay properly.”

It takes only a second foran animal to react out of in-stinct, said Mitchell. It can

be in r eaction to somethingas simple as getting to closeto an animal’s face, its foodor its puppies. Even what achild would consider play-ful tugging on the animalmay be thr eatening in theanimal’s mind.

“The thing is, all dogshave the capacity to bite,”said Mitchell.

Attacks by stray animalsare mor e rar e than caseswhere the victim is familiarwith the animal, Mitchelladded.

“Usually, the child haspermission to play with theanimal because it’s the fam-ily pet or the neighbor ’sdog,” said Mitchell.

One way to avoid poten-tial bites is for par ents tomonitor their children whenplaying with animals, saidMitchell.

“What’s the worst is whenyou hear about a child about12 months old that is bittenand nobody saw it happen,”

said Mitchell. “Children thatage especially should not beleft alone with an animal.”

And, the breed of the ani-mal does not necessarilymake a dif ference when itcomes to the risk of beingbitten, said Mitchell.

“Golden r etrievers, poo-dles, any breed can bite. Youreally can’t pinpoint oneparticular breed,” she said.

In 2008, the Clinton Coun-ty Health Departmentrecorded 292 animal bite in-vestigations. That numberrose to 316 cases in 2009, andlessened to 300 in 2010.Though the cases also in-volve animals other thandogs, Mitchell noted takingsafety pr ecautions ar oundanimals can lessen theamount of incidents in thefuture.

“If you ar e bitten, seekmedical attention rightaway, even if it’s a smallnip,” said Mitchell. “It’s bestto consult with a doctor.”

of the event.“The Patriot Flag has now com-

pleted its journey thr ough 44 states... i t’s s howing s ome s cars f rom i tsjourney, but those scars represent theoutpouring of national unity of patri-otism and an ef fort of remembranceby or dinary Americans in smalltowns just like this and in lar gercities all acr oss these gr eat UnitedStates,” said Middleton.

Middleton spoke highly of AlbertKapitanski, son of the late Alex Kap-itanski, for whom The Patriot Flag’smission is dedicated. Kapitanski,whose father was known as “the FlagMan of Oceanside” in their native

California, helped make the flag’sjourney possible. Middleton also rec-ognized retired New York City fir e-fighter Joe Torrillo, who was the solesurvivor fr om his unit of the T winTowers attacks on 9/11.

“They’re the r eal her oes,” saidMiddleton.

Torrillo, in a surprise appearanceat the event, shr ugged off the wor d“hero” and said the real heroes are nolonger with us.

“The real heroes are buried in thecemetery. The real heroes don’t get totell their story,” said Torrillo.

The only thing Americans can doto honor the fallen heroes is to spreadpatriotism. And, r egardless of thesize of an American flag, patriotismcan be shown by anyone — not just

during a special visit from a flag thatis seemingly larger than life.

“The point being is that the size ofthe flag has no dif ference on its sig-nificance,” said Torrillo. “When peo-ple salute the American flag, they’reactually paying tribute to the mostimportant people in the UnitedStates of America and those ar e themembers of our armed services thatare defining our freedom right now.”

The flag was flown in RousesPoint the majority of the day July 1and was brought to the city of Platts-burgh the following day for a briefceremony at the P ARC Oval. It willnow continue its journey acr oss sixmore states before a ceremony Sept.11 at the sites of the Sept. 11, 2001 ter-rorist attacks.

PLATTSBURGH — As Valedictorian ZacharySt. Louis looked acr oss the stage at the Platts-burgh State Fieldhouse, he saw a captive audi-ence. He also saw his fellow classmates fr omPeru Central School, many of whom he knewweren’t sure they’d make it to graduation day.

“We w ill f orever r emember t his m oment. I tmarks one of the greatest transitions of our life-time,” S t. L ouis s aid a t t he J une 2 5 c eremony.“We have just closed the door on our life untilthis point. And, now we stand, ready to open anew one.”

The metaphorical door is one St. Louis called“large, daunting, mysterious [and] exciting yetslightly terrifying” because there is no clue as towhat lies behind it, he said.

“It is our future, and we are just about readyto turn the knob,” he said. “But right now, in thismoment, we ar e somewher e in between. Andhow many times in life ar e we able to actuallystop and see with utmost clarity that a transitionlike this is happening to us? This moment isunique.”

It was a moment St. Louis said was worth liv-ing in.

“I feel liberated for having achieved the

biggest accomplishment of my life, mixed witha little terr or for what lies ahead, but mostly Iam the most excited I have ever been,” he said.“We’re excited, we can’t believe it, we’re unsure,we’re nervous; but as I look out at all of us, I havea hunch that we are prepared. That we will bejust fine.”

Salutatorian Patrick Hogan echoed St. Louis’sentiments, adding members of the graduatingclass should not be timid when pursuing theirdreams.

“Far too often children are discouraged fromsetting goals that have a chance of not coming tofruition,” said Hogan. “Set them high. Otherswill express doubt, but don’t worry , as it’s thechase that will come to define you.”

“Never compromise in pursuit of your goalsand you will emer ge a better person, whetheryou reach them or not,” he added.

Hogan, who joked earlier about not havingmuch of a sense of humor left after jokingaround the past four years, r eminded his peersgraduation does not signify the end, but “an op-portunity to refocus and set new goals for your-self.

“I know I’m ready to embrace life’s next set ofchallenges, and I’m r ealizing that maybe mysense of humor isn’t as far away as I thought,and maybe your goals aren’t as far away as youthink either.”

PLATTSBURGH — WhenSeton Catholic CentralSchool valedictorian CaraChapman addressed her fel-low classmates during grad-uation, she of fered somewords of advice: “Life’stough, get a helmet.”

Chapman quoted a char-acter f rom television showwho gave his br other somefriendly advice about whatthe real world has in a stor eas part of her speech to the2011 g raduating c lass J une18.

“In a way , this is verysound advice,” said Chap-man. “This world’s is filledwith people trying to, liter-ally or figuratively, smackyou on the head. They ar epeople who might not likeyou, who are jealous of you,and who think that it is theirsole purpose in life to makeyour life miserable.” What-ever the case, said Chapman,she advised her peers to al-ways r emember to be pr e-pared for the adversities life

may throw them.“Some of these experi-

ences hurt,” Chapman said.“You might fall of f yourbike, get caught doing theprank call, almost run some-one over driving, get yourheart b roken, o r r ealize a lltoo late that you r eally donot know how to dance. Asmuch as these experiencesmay hurt your pride, theyhave ultimately made youinto the people that you ar ein these seats today.”

Though each student maybe very dif ferent, Chapmansaid each will head of f intothe r eal w orld f or t he f irsttime, m uch l ike t he u pper-classmen that went befor ethem that seemed “so sure ofthem.”

“Now that we’r e in theirshoes, do you r eally thinkthat’s how they were feelingas they wer e leaving us be-hind,” she asked. “The firstday o f c lasses, f irst d ay o fboot camp, or first day onthe job looms over our headslike a rain cloud r eady toburst. On the outside, welook mor e than r eady togreet whatever fate is await-

ing us at our destinations.”“I just hope that, in the

long run, you will always re-member who got you here —your parents, grandparents,host parents, and teachers ...where y ou c ame f rom; an dthat no matter wher e youend up, it should be some-place that makes you hap-py,” she added.

Salutatorian Kelcey Brig-gs wished her classmates thesame, standing in awe as shelooked at the crowd.

“I know it is a cliché state-ment, but it honestly seemslike just yesterday we beganour final year of school, anx-iously awaiting the finaldays of our high school ca-reer,” said Briggs. “Not evenone month ago, I had a sim-ilar feeling as I danced onstage for the last time in theballet Alice i n Wonderland.It was a bittersweet time formy fellow senior dancefriend and I. W e worked sohard each year preparing forour performances and thisyear it finally came to anend.”

“Just like with our senior

year of high school. We arefinished. No longer will wewalk the halls of SetonCatholic,” she continued.“We have worked so hard forthis and have waited so longfor this day, and now that itis finally here it doesn't seempossible.”

Briggs said she will carryher memories of SetonCatholic with her as she con-tinues her journey , and en-couraged others to do thesame.

“I tr uly believe that wewill look back on our highschool career and be thank-

ful that we wer e luckyenough to have attendedsuch a special school as Se-ton Catholic,” she said. “Iwish the best of luck toeveryone. We have made itthis far, and we will contin-ue to follow our hearts forthe rest of our lives.”

There will be an opening gala event July 19, starting at 6p.m. with the performance at 8 p.m. Performances are July 19,20, 21, 22, and 23 at 8 p.m.; July 23 at 2 p.m.; and July 24 at 6p.m.

“Rent” is under the dir ection of Derrick A. Hopkins, withmusical dir ection by Jennifer Moor e, chor eography by An-tonette Knoedl and technical direction by Nikki Hilchey. TheEssex Theatre Company, Inc. is a not-for -profit organizationlocated on the shores of Lake Champlain in the historic Townof Essex, New York.

Performances will be held at the Strand Theatre due to com-plications due to flooding to the Masonic Lodge in Essex.

“The musical, ‘Rent,’ is ar guably the most influential mu-sical of the ’90s. It seems that every decade a musical comesalong and r epresents the social climate of that time,” saidHopkins. “I have been very conscious of trying to inform my

cast of the social climate during the late ’80s/early ’90s to-wards the AIDS epidemic and the discrimination of homosex-uals in addition to the ostracized community of people strug-gling with addiction. This generation is very tolerant and ac-cepting of all people and the idea of discrimination due torace, religion, addiction, and sexual orientation is a very for-eign concept to them. This experience has given me to oppor-tunity to research, relive, communicate, and incorporate theseand other social issues into the artistic folds of the show. I amso grateful to my talented cast and crew for having the ener-gy and intelligence to take on this controversial show.”

“I became familiar with this show in High School when themovie came out and immediately fell in love,” Brittany LeighGlenn, who plays Mimi, said. “Then, when I was 18, my par-ents got me tickets to see the show on tour and that was whenI got to see how spectacular this show really was. I am thrilledto be a part of this pr oduction. Not only ar e my fellow castmembers extremely talented, but they have so much passionfor theatre and portraying these characters and that’s what Ithink makes this production so special.”

“I have wanted to participate in a production of ‘Rent’ sinceI watched the movie many years ago,” Dana McLaughlin, whoplays Mark, said. “I came into this cast knowing a few mem-bers but I really feel like we all have grown to know each oth-er and make this such a great experience.”

“Playing Tom Collins has been a dream come true,” MichaelBergman said. As a character, he helps bring together the oth-er characters in the show. He is down to earth, kind, and con-fident, and quite intelligent, but at the same time a bit irr e-sponsible. He commits in his heart completely to the one heloves, and is devoted to his friends and ideals, but cannotcommit to a purpose in life.”

Tickets for the performances will be sold in advance for $12or at the door for $15. Seating is limited to 300 and on a first-come-first-serve basis. Pr oceeds benefit the Essex Theatr eCompany. All proceeds from the July 22 performance will ben-efit the Strand restoration. Call 526-4520 or email [email protected] for further information and to make a reserva-tion.
