PLATTSBURGH — The Advocacy and Re-source Center of Clinton County has openedthe doors to its second respite house.
The opening of the house, located onSalmon River Road, was officially markedMarch 25. Clinton County ARC executive di-rector Theresa M. Garrow explained thehouse provides temporary care on weekendsby highly-trained professionals for individu-als with developmental disabilities. And, it’sin a building that’s seen quite an evolutionover the years, said Garrow.
“It’s been the home of our early educationprogram in the late 1970s and ‘80s. We’ve had
case managers in this building. It was thehome of Workforce Network, which is oursupportive work program. It was even thetemporary home for our [day rehabilitation]services when we were renovating our build-ing on New York Road,” she said.
The building was almost the home of newautism services two years ago, however theClinton County ARC was unable to securefunding for the project. That left the organi-zation wondering what to do with the build-ing from there.
“Then, we found there was a great need fora second respite house,” said Garrow, whonoted that project was able to get financialsupport, with only a need to renovate and

PLATTSBURGH — If you ask ElliCollins, it takes a special woman towalk in the shoes of the late ElizabethHeins.
“Elizabeth Heins was a very inspira-tional lady,” said Collins. “She was oneof these vibrant kinds of people thatyou really like to be around. And, nomatter what, she was always just up-beat.”
Even when Heins was diagnosedwith breast cancer, among other med-ical issues, in the mid-1980s, she neverlet her own challenges bring her down,said Collins.
“She had a number of medical prob-lems but you wouldn’t know it becauseshe always cared about other peoplefirst,” she said.
That’s why the Treasure Chestsbreast cancer support group, through
CVPH Medical Center, established theElizabeth Heins Inspirational Sur-vivorship Award in 2005, followingHeins’ death. The award, explainedCollins, is given annually to a womanin honor of Heins, who battled severalmedical issues, including breast cancer.
Collins oversees the nominationprocess for the award and said there isbasic criteria a committee reviewswhen choosing the next honoree.
“We look to see who is active withsurvivorship activities, who’s out inthe community making a differenceand impact on individuals,” she ex-plained.
However, in an area where cancer isnot an uncommon disease and peopleaffected by it are increasingly lookingfor a way to turn their negative into apositive, Collins said potential nomi-nees are everywhere.
“It’s hard because there are so manypeople who fit the criteria; there are so
many people who are inspirational,”said Collins.
Gretchen “Libby” Goller of Cham-plain, a cancer survivor and past hon-oree, shrugs off any notion she’s inspi-rational. Goller said she was just hon-ored to be held in the same regard asher late friend.
“She was just one of my favorite peo-ple,” Goller said of Heins. “She was fullof vim and vigor. Whatever challengewas thrown at her, she faced it with de-termination. She lived life to the fullestand for that, I admired her.”
“She was quite a gal and you’d cer-tainly remember her if you met her,”she added.
If people stop to think about it, every-one probably knows someone likeHeins, said Collins.
“They’re involved, they’re fun to bearound, they get things done,” she said.“They’re just upbeat, very caring andvivacious, with a zest for life.”
Nomination letters for this year ’sElizabeth Heins Inspirational Sur-vivorship Award are due next Friday,April 16.
Those submitting nominationsshould consider how the person hasbeen an inspiration to others, what per-sonality traits she has that help herthrough life challenges, how she hasbeen involved with survivorship activ-ities, and if a cancer survivor has influ-enced her life.
Letters may be submitted in care ofElli Collins to FitzPatrick Cancer Cen-ter, 75 Beekman St., Plattsburgh N.Y.12901. Letters may also be e-mailed [email protected], with Heins Awardasked to be put in the subject line.
For more information contact Collinsat 562-7148.
The award will be presented at theannual Treasure Chests Soiree Thurs-day, May 20, at the Rainbow and Ban-quet Hall in Altona.

As spring arrives, my scheduleseems to become busier. May-or ’s Cup and Regatta plans
continue to firm up. The entertainmentpiece should be in place early thismonth. The fire-works have beenofficially sched-uled for July 4 andJuly 10, both ofwhich will be indowntown Platts-burgh this year.
PlattsburghState graduationwill be May 15. Itis one of the mostspecial events I at-tend each year.Walgreens had a ribbon-cutting ceremo-ny, which I attended. The annual St.Patrick’s Day Breakfast is another veryspecial event and this year a very goodfriend of mine, John Zurlo, was chosenIrishman of the Year. This was an out-standing choice and John was complete-ly caught by surprise.
I witnessed a drug bust by our police
department as they did an outstandingjob apprehending an individual be-lieved to be buying and selling drugs inour community. I toured the Bom-bardier plant, which is always very ed-
ucational for me as I continue tolearn about its manufacturingprocess and meet the solid employ-ees there. I have been meeting withseveral developers that continue tohave interests in locating herewhich hopefully will result in abusiness commitment to the Platts-burgh area. And, as usual, each daymy office handles the many con-stituent complaints and concernsthat come our way.
With April here, the city work-force transitions into addressingnew seasonal problems and issues.
Grass begins to grow, outdoor activitiesbecome the norm, wildlife arrives in ourneighborhoods, and residents becomemore active. With all of this brings newresponsibilities to each city department.
We will continue to provide the bestservices we can to the residents of thecity of Plattsburgh! Thanks!
In my last column, I reflected onthe mild winter with hopes of anearly spring that
would bring economic opti-mism to the town of Platts-burgh and the ChamplainValley. This month, I foundthat my positive outlook onthe weather became a reali-ty when we received an ear-ly spring.
Unfortunately, the newscontinues to bring plenty ofmaterial for those who seecrises and dysfunction in alllevels of government. Weare in a very difficult eco-nomic situation but we must see beyondthe current crises and work to imple-ment a plan for future economic stabil-ity. This, I’m pleased to share, is aprocess that I have witnessed and par-ticipated in many times during the pasttwo years. I have participated on tran-sitions teams, economic summits, work-shops, debates, agency meetings, boardmeetings, etc. that all have the commongoal to survive the current crises and
create future economic stability. The North Country is ripe for invest-
ment and, even in thisdifficult business climate,continues to attract newbusinesses and develop-ment. There will continueto be more opportunityand the future will bebright once again. Thegreatest resource theAdirondack Coast pos-sesses is our human re-source. We are resilient,determined and imagina-tive.
The recent spring rainswill bring a green tint to our lawns andthe buds will begin to swell. The longerdays will be a welcomed sign that weare ready for change. It is time to con-centrate our effort on problem solvingand deny the cries of doom and gloomthat try to distract our determination tobe successful!
The “burghs” will lead the way andby working together in an air of opti-mistic enthusiasm we will succeed.
CCITYITY ANDAND TOWNTOWN with Don Kasprzak and Bernie Bassett

PLATTSBURGH — Warmertemperatures have been bring-ing people out of their seeming-ly winter hibernation, with thethoughts of many turning tofishing.
Dave Richard, owner ofRichard’s Grocery Bait andTackle on Johnson Avenue, saidthe warmer weather is startingto bring anglers out of thewoodwork. And, that’s helpinghis business.
“It’s starting to pick up now,”said Richard. “When it first gotwarm for a while there, peoplewanted to get their rods out andstart fishing. We’ve had a lotpeople come in and tell usthey’re going to go down to theriver and drown some worms.”
Though bass season is prima-rily more of a revenue-genera-
tor for the region, trout season,which officially opened April 1,is bringing people out with theirfishing poles, too.
Steve Rombotis from Montre-al, Quebec, is one of them. Rom-botis was fishing from the bankof the Saranac River in down-town Plattsburgh last week,killing time while waiting topick up family from PlattsburghInternational Airport.
“I had a few free hours, so Ithought I’d do some fishing,” hesaid. “I got a fish on my firstcast.”
Though Rombotis isn’t likesome out-of-towners who aredrawn to the area specifically forfishing, he said he found it wasa nice setting to relax and casthis line.
“It’s nice and quiet here,”Rombotis said, as he stood withMacDonough Monument at hisback in the distance. “The first
place I ever fishedwas here. I’m acreature of habit,so I came backto the same spot. Right away Ihad luck.”
Plattsburgh Town SupervisorBernard C. Bassett said seeinganglers out around the region is“another sign that spring ishere and the start of anotherfishing season in the Adiron-dacks and North Country.”Though fishing season helps lo-cal businesses make money, Bas-sett said it’s also great to seepeople are making memories.
“I have many wonderful mem-ories of fishing the brooks andponds in the area looking forthat speckled prize that wouldbecome, depending on my luck,either a snack or a meal,” saidBassett. “It’s a time when we be-gin to get back outside and startto feel the warmth of the sun onour back one more time.”
Warm weather has anglers fishing for a good time

PLATTSBURGH — After seeing theGreen Mountain Derby Dames from Ver-mont at a bout, life-long roller skaterKim Cummins wanted a piece of the ac-tion.
Cummins is looking for supportin getting the Plattsburgh RollerDerby League off the ground,including women athletes, acoach and a place to practiceand host bouts.
Roller Derby features fiveplayers on two teams whorace around a flat track, col-lecting points as other playersare lapped.
“It’s a full-contact women’ssport that has features that arelike racing,” explained Cummins. “Italso has this theatrical kind of thing, be-cause these girls wear short skirts andfishnets and tall socks.”
“It’s like a show and then a sport, too,”she added.
With influence from the GMDD, Cum-mins knew the sport could be great forthe Plattsburgh area.
“[In] Burlington, they pack the Expocenter,” she explained. “They have toclose out tickets.”
Cummins added the bouts can bring inother types of revenue, as they oftenhave beer gardens and other vendors.
“There’s all this different revenuebeing made by it,” she said. “And,[the GMDD] donate it to causes.They don’t keep it for themselves.There’s a lot of really good thingsthat could come from it.”
“The past few bouts that we’vegone to, they’ve donated towomen’s shelters or to the arts
council,” Cummins added. Currently, the Plattsburgh league
has had a lot of interest via their Face-book Web page, but they have a longway to go.
“I’ve been skating a long time, but Idon’t really know the fundamentals,”Cummins said. “So, we’re looking forplayers, a place to practice and some sort
of coach.”Although she is hoping to begin a
league for the North Country, Cumminsalso is looking to build up a team — theNorth Country Lumber Jills.
“It is a lot of fun,” Cummins said ofroller derby. “You get a lot of cama-raderie out of it. You get a whole newfamily of people who really care aboutyou. You’re all going towards a commongoal.”
For more information about the Platts-burgh Roller Derby League and theNorth Country Lumber Jills, Cumminscan be reached at 335-2295 or [email protected]. Theycan also be reached by Facebook bysearching for “Plattsburgh Roller DerbyLeague” or by visiting their Web site,http://plattsburghrollerderby.weebly.com.
New derby leagueis rolling into town

PLATTSBURGH — From a new gaze-bo to “Belinda,” changes have been inthe making at Renaissance VillageSuites.
Gene Creech, owner of the collegehousing apartments on South CatherineStreet, has been working to make somechanges to the complex.
“Now, we have a shuttle bus that werun back and forth to the [State Univer-sity of New York at Plattsburgh] ... tosave on gas,” Creech explained. “It’llmake one trip instead of everybodydriving six or eight or 10 or 12 cars aday.”
The shuttle, known as “Belinda,” wasmade an option for students a year ago,as a way to save fuel and energy.
“I think going green is critically im-
portant,” Creech said, “because thatemission ... it’s really overwhelming.We do encourage the kids to ride thatbus, even if they do have cars.”
Belinda only travels to SUNY Platts-burgh, not Clinton Community Col-lege. However, Creech hasn’t left thosestudents without an option.
Currently, city transportation makesa stop at Renaissance Village andCreech recently had a bus shelter built,
to reduce their chances of missing thebus.
“Sometimes they can't run out therefast enough for the bus,” he explained.“So, I thought it would be nice to putthat bus shelter out there so they cantake their coffee and stand out there inthe bus shelter, out of the elements.”
“It’s kind of a simple thing we do forthe kids,” Creech added.
Renaissance Village makes greener, healthier changes

Earth Day celebration coming upAnother “green” initiative he has estab-lished is the building of FRIENDS InternetLaundrette, also on South Catherine Street.
“[The washers] use less water,” Creechsaid. “They use only three gallons per cycleinstead of 13 gallons. It uses less energy, ituses less detergent, therefore it’s less pollut-ing to the system that collects the waste-water.”
Creech added the washers and dryers aremore energy-efficient, and save on electrici-ty.
He is also in the process of having a pavil-ion built for students who smoke, so theydon’t do so in the apartments.
“We don’t have a lot of smokers, but oneperson smoking in a room or in a building,you can smell it throughout the wholeplace,” Creech explained. “We have kids thatare allergic and there’s some kids that haveasthma. People have objections to smoke.”

PLATTSBURGH — Whenpeople are in need, Commu-nity Link Mobile Health isthere.
The nonprofit organiza-tion has been providing gen-eral medical services forClinton County for the past14 years, priding itself as theonly mobile diagnostic andtreatment clinic in the re-gion.
Bonnie Yopp, a licensednurse practitioner, has beeninvolved with the organiza-tion since it started in 1996and today serves as execu-tive director. In that time,the “medical office onwheels that focuses on adulthealth,” as Yopp describes it,has seen many changes.
“We started with an oldschool bus that had beenused for a medical clinic inVermont,” recalled Yopp.“When you looked at it fromthe outside, it needed a hellof a lot of work.”
The organization’s boardof directors invested themoney and the mobile clinicwas put into service. In fact,the bus served the commu-nity well until it was retiredthree years ago.
“Thanks to a generousgrant through Excellus Blue-Cross, we got the RV wehave now,” said Yopp. “Wewent from getting three orfour miles on a gallon of gasto about 10 miles on a gal-
lon.”The upgrade saved the
mobile clinic several dollarson its bottom line andhelped it expand its territo-ry. The clinic branched outfrom its regular stops inClinton County — which in-clude Plattsburgh, Peru,Saranac, Morrisonville, Kee-seville, Mooers, Altona,Champlain and West Chazy— to places like Au SableForks in Essex County andeven Burke in FranklinCounty.
As the economy has seentrouble in recent years, theneed for Community LinkMobile Health’s serviceshave only increased, saidYopp.
“As the economy getsworse, we get busier,” shesaid. “And, our main focusis to get anybody into healthcare that hasn’t been able tobecause they’ve lacked in-surance. Two-thirds tothree-quarters of our pa-tients have no insurance.”
The cost of visiting themobile clinic is typically lessthan that of a traditionaldoctor ’s office visit, shesaid.
“An office visit in Platts-burgh can cost anywherefrom $65 to $120. Some peo-ple can’t afford that,” saidYopp. “Our office visit isonly $20. We take care of allthose people out there whohave stopped health care be-cause they didn’t have in-surance because they could-n’t afford it.”
The mobile clinic also hasa prescription assistanceprogram for those now with-out any form of prescriptioninsurance coverage to helpthem get their medications.
“We sit down with themand try to see if we can givethem free or low-cost med-ications through the drugcompanies,” Yopp ex-plained.
The cost of operating themobile clinic is able to bekept down because Yopp isthe only paid staff member,she said. The clinic relies ona faithful band of volunteersthat range from those han-dling medical billing to legalwork. Even the clinic’s med-ical director is a volunteer.
“That saves us thousandsof dollars,” said Yopp.“Thank God for volunteers.”
However, the clinic alsorelies heavily on grants forwhich Yopp applies andsupport for fundraisers liketheir upcoming spring din-ner.
“Big fundraisers like thishelp a lot,” said Yopp.
The chicken and biscuitsdinner will be held this Sat-urday, April 10, at AmericanLegion Post 20 on QuarryRoad. Entertainment will beby Barbie and the GoldenNotes. The cost will be $7 foradults and $4 for childrenyounger than 12. Take-outswill be available.

One of the newest bands to join Platts-burgh’s growing musical communityis Sinecure. The band has opened for
local bands such as Slow Natives, Elephantbear,Lucid and Eat.Sleep.Funk., with Will Scheifleyfrom Shameless Strangers, also having ap-peared on stage with them. Sinecure’s first sologig was booked early last month at the Mono-pole.
The members of Sinecure are Jordan Buck onguitar, vocals, and occasionally on keys, andbrother Justin Buck on bass and vocals. JackBrand is on drums, vocals and samples.Sinecure’s music has an electronic, jam, rock toit but as the band grows, so does their incorpo-ration of other genres.
“There’s definitely a straight-up electronicdance vibe to a lot of what we do, but as we writemore and more original songs, there’s an edge ofprogressive and indy rock that is beginning toemerge,” said Jack.
Sinecure, which formed in late 2007, hasbrought together a unique blend of songs based oneach member ’s musical background and influences.
“My songs are about my life experiences in gener-al,” said Jack. “I’ve got a few about coming of age typestuff; got some about past loves, current ones.”
Jack said the central theme of his music is “enjoy-ing yourself, and persevering obstacles in theprocess.”
“I love dance music, so I just hope I’m writing stuff
that makes someone at the very least want to tap theirfoot,” he said.
“I love our songs and have a great time playingthem, but when it comes down to it, what I’m inter-ested in are the jams,” said Jordan. “I like to get as farout as possible and then bring it back into the song.If we do this correctly and with enough energy, itmakes the audience go crazy which in turn makes usplay better.”
Their creativity comes from experience, saidJustin.
“The themes of songs really come from howwe’re feeling at the time, rather than manufac-turing something we don’t really feel,” ex-plained Justin. “I don’t think it’s genuine to lim-it yourself to one end of the emotional spectrumjust to fit in with a perceived notion about whatyour band has to say. We’re all complicated peo-ple.”
Sinecure is always working on new materialand is currently building up their library ofsongs. More and more gigs are being booked anda demo is in the works to be put out later thisyear. The band is also looking to expand theirhorizons by adding a keyboardist to the group.When that happens, the trio believes they will re-
ally take off.“We’re playing more and more new songs, exper-
imenting more, and are just generally more open totrying something new and discovering our ownsound,” said Justin. “One of our goals for this year has been to earn a
spot at the local festival Backwoods Pondfest. Wehaven’t yet, but with some support I’m still confidentwe can accomplish that,” added Jack.
Sinecure is featured in the Radio section of Platts-burgh Pipeline at www.plattsburghpipeline.com.They may also be found on Facebook and Myspace.
(Editor’s Note: Sinecure is playing at the Monopole, 7 Protec-tion Ave., this Thursday, April 8. The show starts at 10 p.m.)

furnish the building.Keith A. Martin, who serves as director of the
respite house, said evidence of the need for a secondhouse was in the regular use of the organization’shouse on Military Turnpike. Serving approximately85 families in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties,the local ARC was previously limited in its availabil-ity of respite services.
“Guests were only able to come once every 14, 15,16 weeks,” said Martin. “Now, we’ll be able to serveseven individuals in a weekend here and five overthere. We should be able to cut our wait time in half.”
“It’ll be wonderful for the families and the individ-uals,” he added, noting the houses serve individualsfrom children to seniors.
“[The respite house] is important because it givesfamilies an opportunity to go out of town or to dowhat they need to whether it be taking care of busi-ness, going to an event or something along those lines,
knowing their family member is safe and sound,”added Garrow.
The house’s out-of-the-way setting gives off a “bedand breakfast” atmosphere, said Garrow, making peo-ple who will use the facility feel invited and at home.
“And, that’s the way it should be,” said Garrow.“Anybody should be able to come and spend the nightand families should feel like they’d want to stay herethemselves.”

PLATTSBURGH — Marimba and pi-ano sounds good together, right? That'swhat Rose Chancler and Jane Boxall ofthe duo, "Ricochet," are counting on.
The unique pair of instruments andpeople in the group will be performingin a faculty recital at the State Univer-sity of New York at Plattsburgh this Sat-urday, April 10, with Chancler on thepiano and Boxall on the mysterious andimpressive marimba.
“It’s a large keyboard-like instru-ment,” Boxall said. “My instrument has
only been around for 50 years.”Boxall said the instrument itself is a
blast to play, and the sound that comesfrom it can be beautifully low and res-onant, or “almost like a pipe organ.”
“You've got to come watch this girlplay marimba,” said Chancler. “She’sall over the place with it.”
Chancler said the unique instrumentcontrasts with the sound of the pianoquite well, even though the “corerange” is the same.
Ricochet music has a “minimalistside” to it, but has some rock ‘n rollfused with it, and is usually original,contemporary pieces written for the
marimba or piano, according to theBoxall.
Chancler said the current atmospherein music is “incredibly fertile,” provid-ing for limitless original collaborationsand creations.
“I don’t know why more groups aredoing this [type of music],” said Chan-cler.
And, even though the definition ofRicochet may still be unclear, the rela-tionship between the two artists is evi-dent.
“We very much have the same tastes,”said Chancler. “We are always search-ing out new music.”
And, with Boxall in her late 20s andChancler in her mid 40s, they eachbring unique tastes and experiences tothe table.
Boxall and Chancler hope to draw outthe crowds this Saturday in the Kri-novitz Recital Hall, on the PlattsburghState campus.
The concert is free and open to thepublic. For more information, call 564-2090.
