Bringing outthe bluebirdsBByy JJiimm EEnnggeellbbrreecchhttSpecial to Denton Publications

The New York State Bluebird Societyactively maintains the U.S. Route 11and State Route 22 Bluebird Trails in

Clinton County. Perhaps you have noticedpairs of bright yellow-orange birdhouses, ornest boxes as they are sometimes referred to,along those highways as you travel. These box-es are paired due to the abundance of tree swal-lows in our area. Bluebirds and tree swallowsmake good neighbors and will defend their ter-ritories from others of their species.

Bluebirds belong to the thrush family — asdo robins. Like robins, eastern bluebirds lay

blue eggs and have a russet colored breast.Bluebirds, however, are secondary cavitynesters and are therefore limited in where theycan nest. In nature they will occupy tree holesthat have been excavated by woodpeckers orother primary cavity nesters. There is muchcompetition from other cavity nesters for thesenest sites, hence the need for the NYSBS box-es.

Once a bluebird lays an egg in a nest box, asparrow spooker is put on top of the box toscare house sparrows away. While this un-sightly contraption (we use a wire frame withmylar strips) devalues the bird house, the blue-bird’s egg investment ensures the box will notbe abandoned. House sparrows are fierce com-petitors and will kill bluebird young andadults when coveting an occupied nest box.

Satellite Route 11 Bluebird Trails include theNorth Country Golf Course in Champlain, theBarracks and Bluff Point Golf Courses inPlattsburgh, the Glenwood Cemetery in Cham-plain and the Maple Hill Cemetery in RousesPoint. A new addition is the Clinton Commu-nity College overlooking Lake Champlain in

South Plattsburgh. While all of these trail locations have had

bluebirds, Clinton Community College attract-ed two pairs of bluebirds just two weeks afterthe boxes were put out. They now have eighthealthy young bluebirds awaiting fledging(first flight).

NCGC is having their most productive blue-bird year. There were five successful firstbrood nests from which 18 young bluebirdshave been fledged. There are three secondbrood nests containing nine eggs.

The NYSBS bluebird exhibit at the ClintonCounty Fair will be featuring an “In the NestBox” video which shows an eastern bluebirdlaying and hatching eggs and feeding theyoung. We invite interested bird lovers to seeour exhibit in the Fish, Game and WildlifeBuilding, Tuesday, July 20, through Sunday,July 25.

For more information, contact me at [email protected] or 297-3278.

Jim Engelbrecht is coordinator of the New YorkState Bluebird Society for the Clinton County re-gion.

PLATTSBURGH — BrandonNoelting knows what it’s liketo be homeless. And, it’s some-thing he doesn’t want anyoneelse to go through.

Noelting and his family —his wife and their three youngchildren — were facing life onthe street last year after theirwere forced to move out of sub-standard housing in the townof Dannemora.

“Our toilet was going to fallthrough the floor, the floor inthe kitchen was bowing to thepoint when you walked on ityou could feel it shaking, therewas no insulation in some ofthe walls,” recalled Noelting.

The Noeltings were put up intemporary housing at a hotelby the Department of SocialServices, but after problemswith management, Noelting

said he and his family wereforced to leave.

“We had nowhere to go,”said Noelting.

That’s when Noeltinglearned about Family Promiseof Clinton County, a nonprofitorganization which locateshousing for families who havebecome homeless. The organi-zation helped provide shelterfor Noelting and his family forthree months, until a perma-nent solution was found. Mostof all, Noelting credited Fami-ly Promise director Maureen E.Bradish for her compassionand dedication to helping himand his family.

“My wife and I were bothfull-time college students. Iwas trying to find work and wewere both trying to supportour three kids. We had a lot onour plate at the time,” saidNoelting. “Maureen jumped atthe chance to help us.”

When he and his family leftthe program, Noelting wasasked to stay involved in a dif-ferent capacity — serving onFamily Promise’s board of di-rectors.

“I jumped at the chance be-cause, partly, I felt it was myway of giving back,” he said.“Seeing the seedy underbellyof homelessness in Plattsburgh— people eating out of garbagecans and things like that — Iwas like, ‘This is how I can dosomething about this.”

Noelting brought enthusi-asm and a fresh view of theplight of homelessness in Clin-ton County, said Bradish.

“I still hear on a regular ba-sis that people don’t thinkhomelessness is a problemhere,” said Bradish. “There’sespecially a lot of young peo-ple who don’t know this is aproblem. What Brandon’s try-ing to do is help us reach peo-

ple his age.”One way Noelting is trying

do that is by planning a concertat Coffee Camp Saturday, July31. The show — which will sofar feature the bands All theRage, Crown of Lions, and theIrradiated Beef Project — is ameans of building on past Fam-ily Promise fundraisers likeperformances by The GibsonBrothers and annual Carl KingMemorial Golf Tournament.

“I wanted us to be able toreach the younger generation,”said Noelting, who notedyounger people might not nec-essarily be attracted to FamilyPromise’s other fundraisers. “Ijust wanted to add to what[Family Promise] was doing.”

“What Brandon’s doing isgreat,” said Bradish.

The July 31 concert will startat 5 p.m. The cost is $5 per per-son with all proceeds to go toFamily Promise.

PLATTSBURGH — The Clinton CountyHistorical Museum recently opened itsnewest exhibit on the North Country’s rolein the Cold War.

The exhibit is titled “MAD,” which is theacronym for Mutual Assured Destruction orthe military doctrine based on the capabili-ty of the Soviet Union and the United Statescapability of annihilating each other withnuclear weapons.

The exhibit covers the period of the Platts-burgh Strategic Air Command base from1955-1995 when it was home to an arsenal ofnuclear bombers, refueling tankers, andthousands of airmen. The area’s strategicimportance became even more obvious in1960 with the installation of 12 Atlas missilesites in a 50 mile radius around Plattsburgh,the only intercontinental ballistic missileseast of the Mississippi.

MAD highlights the incredible rush tocomplete the construction and arming of themissile sites during the 1962 Cuban MissileCrisis. The civil defense side of the story isalso on display with supplies from falloutshelters and civilian evacuation directionssince Plattsburgh was deemed a CategoryOne target.

The Clinton County Historical Associa-tion, which operates the museum, is in theprocess of raising funds to supplement a$3,000 grant received from the Associationof Air Force Missileers to create the exhibit.

“We need to raise about $2,000,” said mu-seum curator and director Carol Blakeslee-Collin, who noted the exhibit went overbudget.

“We’ve asked retired missileers who wereinvolved with research for the exhibit andretired FB-111 pilots,” she said, adding the

request is also being put out tot he generalpublic.

Those interested in making a contributiontoward the exhibit may send donations incare of the museum to 98 Ohio Ave., Platts-burgh N.Y. 12903.

For more information, contact Blakeslee-Collin at 561-0340 or e-mail [email protected]. The museum isopen Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m.to 3 p.m. and by appointment.

Museum’s Cold War exhibit needs cold, hard cash


PLATTSBURGH — If youhaven’t been by the Battle ofPlattsburgh Museum lately, thenyou haven’t seen how the muse-um has been making some histo-ry of its own.

The museum has recently un-dergone several improvements aspart of a $6,000 capital project.The changes, said museum man-ager Kristina Parker-Wingler,have included incorporating theWar of 1812 Museum and Allan S.Everest Interpretive Center intothe main museum building onWashington Road, relocating andexpanding the BOPA gift shopand office space within the muse-um.

“We have to change with thetimes,” said Parker-Wingler.“There’s always new things dis-covered when we look at history.”

Parker-Wingler ’s favoritechange to the museum was one ofthe simplest improvements —repositioning a 5-foot by 15-foottable-top model replica of the Bat-tle of Plattsburgh.

“We actually took the legs offthe diorama, built a platform andmade it leaning to give an aerial view. Now,visitors can stand back and get a better viewof the Battle of Plattsburgh.

That change alone is one that’s already

catching the eyes of visitors, said Parker-Wingler.

“People actually have commented that wemust have gotten a new diorama,” she said,

laughing. The improvements have also given a bet-

ter arrangement for new exhibits, includingthe museum’s most recent one, “Misses Mis-

tresses, and Misconceptions:Women in the Northern Theater ofthe War of 1812.” The exhibit,which opened May 22, chroniclesthe lives of women and familiesleft behind when the men went towar. Handsome, locally-designedvignettes, when combined withthe cosmetic improvements at themuseum are what Parker-Winglerhopes will attract more visitors.

“It’s very important we makeimprovements and keep exhibitsup to date because we have a lot ofrepeat visitors,” she said. “If webecome a museum that peoplehave already seen and don’t havea reason to come back, we’re goingto be just one more place that diesand fades into the background.”

Parker-Wingler ’s plans for themuseum are hardly over just be-cause the recent improvements arecomplete. Eventually, she’d like tosee a 8-10 minute interpretive filmproduced that would be shown atthe museum on a continuos basis.

“That would really complete theexperience,” said Parker-Wingler.”It’s the only piece to the puzzlethat’s missing. It all comes downto money and if we can get themoney together, we can do it.”

The Battle of Plattsburgh Muse-um is open Tuesday through Sat-

urday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information,including how to make a donation to themuseum, call Parker-Wingler at 566-1814.

PLATTSBURGH — The North Countryhas one of the most important resources fora thriving community, says Chris Duley, butit’s one he considers greatly underutilized.

“I think that Lake Champlain, especiallyCumberland Bay and the western shore ofthe lake, is probably the best-kept secretsgoing,” said Duley, who serves as head ofthe Cumberland Bay Community BoatingCenter. “It is, by far, the best sailing andboating venue that there is in the North-east.”

Duley has been trying to promote an in-creased use of nonmotorized watercraftLake Champlain for the past six years.Through coordination with the City ofPlattsburgh Recreation Department, Duleyhas continued to offer the Learn to Sail pro-gram to do just that.

“Learn to Sail is a week-long program weoffer twice in the summer for both kids 12and up and for adults,” explained Duley.

The concept behind the program is to getpeople of all skill levels acclimated to sail-ing under the direction of certified instruc-tors teaching land- and water-based activi-ties. Participants learn the basics of con-cepts such as “rigging, points of sail, sailingmaneuvers, safety and recovery.” However,

that’s just the beginning of what Duley saidhe’d like to see offered by the CumberlandBay Community Boating Center, which cur-rently has no official home.

“We are in the process of trying to offer amuch larger program,” said Duley. “We’retrying to coordinate with the city to get apermanent place on the waterfront thatwould allow us to eventually host some-thing longer than one-week sessions.”

Extended sailing camps and incorporat-ing canoeing and kayaking clinics areamong some of the ideas, said Duley.

“The biggest thing for us before we pro-ceed is to have a permanent, physical pres-ence on the lake,” said Duley, who noted thecenter is only visible when the program op-erates off Wilcox Dock.

Having a permanent building would al-low for secure boat storage as well, headded. Currently, the program’s 10 boats areleft outdoors during the winter months andare subject to the elements.

“We demast the boats and put those awayfor the winter, but the boats are left out-side,” said Duley.

The center relies on volunteers to helpprepare the boats for use each summer, hesaid, adding the Adirondack Young Profes-sionals are organizing a clean up day thisSaturday, July 17, at Wilcox Dock. The non-profit civic organization is recruiting volun-teers to help with the effort from 7-10 p.m.

“It’s a lot of manual labor to bring themdown to beach clean them up and put themasts up, explained Duley, who encouragedpeople to volunteer their help this weekend.“Many hands make light work.”

Those interested in volunteering this Sat-urday or in participating in the Learn to Sail

program may contact Duley at 572-9477 orby visiting www.boatthebay.com. The pro-gram will be held Tuesday, July 27, throughSaturday, July 31, and Tuesday, Aug. 3,through Saturday, Aug. 7. Sessions foryouths will be held from 1-4 p.m. and ses-sions for adults will be from 5-8 p.m.

Participants will receive a U.S. Sailingcertification book upon completion of theprogram.

The cost is $175 per program with regis-tration also available by contacting the Cityof Plattsburgh Recreation Department at324-7709.

PLATTSBURGH — PlattsburghPublic Library has a new addition.

The library recently unveiled anew curbside book return box, ac-cessible to patrons by vehicle atthe corner of Brinkerhoff and Oakstreets.

Funded by library patrons andcommunity donors, the box is ca-pable of holding more than 330books and other library items.

The box was suggested by JamieMarshall in May 2008, and has tak-en two years to fund. Marshall,with two small children, had diffi-culty finding a parking place nearlibrary so she could return herbooks. Since that time, a largenumber of donors have steppedforward to show their communityspirit by generous donations. Inaddition to the general public, thebook return box is expected to beespecially useful to the disabled,the elderly and parents with chil-

dren.The library board of trustees

thanked the following donors:Donna E. Herbold, Robert T. andHelen Booth, James Rothe andKathaleen Miller, E.J. and E.W.Burke, Francine C. Luck, LouiseMeisenheimer, Karen F. Peryea, J.Derek and Helen Allan, Gina L.Doty, Brian Poitrass, Neta E.LeBlanc, Eleanor and Irving Gold-man, Joseph and Lynne Hubbard,Peggy Murphy, Lola Johnson, MattLoach, Sharon A. Bickford, LisaLewis, and Morris and BrendaTowne, given in memory of DorisHaley, Dannemora Librarian.

The board also thanked theSam’s Club Foundation and Phil’sDry Cleaning.

After approval by city engineerKevin Farrington, the book returnbox was installed on a concreteslab by Mike Brodi and the CityPublic Works Department crew.

PLATTSBURGH — Since 2002, the NorthCountry Cultural Center for the Arts hasbeen enriching the lives of children throughtheir ArtQuest program.

This year ’s program, which began July 12,will continue through to Aug. 13, featuringa different continent every week.

“We try to pick a diverse collection ofprojects for the curriculum so the studentsget a mix of art, music and dance from eachculture,” explained education coordinatorAli Della Bitta. “The number and length oftime each project takes decides how manydifferent cultures can be represented.”

Della Bitta said she plans the curriculumby coming up with “inspiring” projects thatcan be focused around a theme.

“Art can express a lot about the way peo-ple live, the environment around them, andthe traditions that surround them,” she

said. “This summer ’s six-week ArtQuestprogram is based on experiencing a differ-ent culture each week through its artwork.”

The second week, from July 19-23, will fo-cus on Europe, where children will “visit adifferent country each day.” Week 3, fromJuly 26-30, will have the children learningabout Australia, creating their own didgeri-doos and exploring the animals of the out-back.

During the fourth week’s session, fromAug. 2-6, children will explore North Amer-ica, creating totem poles, dream catchersand sand paintings.

During week 5, from Aug. 9-13, the chil-dren will learn about Asia, making a petdragon and origami. The final week, fromAug. 16-20, will focus on South America andchildren will create rainforest masks, rainsticks and maracas.

“Through the ArtQuest program, we hopestudents take away knowledge of art and itshistory,” said Della Bitta, “but also the en-

joyment of expression and creativity.”To sign up for a session of the ArtQuest

program, contact NCCCA at 563-1604. Eachsession is $85 and are held from 9 a.m. to 12p.m. or 1 to 4 p.m. The program is for chil-

dren age 6 to 14 and classes are limited to 15per group.

“Wear your messy clothes or bring asmock,” said Della Bitta, “and get ready tomake some art and have fun.”

ArtQuest bringsculture to kids

PLATTSBURGH — The State Uni-versity of New York at Plattsburghwill now be offering classes in crimi-nal justice at Hudson Valley Commu-nity College.

In a July 7 ceremony, SUNY Platts-burgh president John C. Ettling signedan agreement with HVCC presidentDrew Matonak. The agreement will al-low the four-year college to offer abachelor ’s degree program in criminaljustice with most classes taking placeright on the community college cam-pus in Troy.

Criminal justice is one of the largestacademic degree programs at HudsonValley, with approximately 100-120graduates each year. And, while theUniversity at Albany and The Collegeof Saint Rose accept many of thosegraduates each year, the Plattsburghprogram will add another option forHudson Valley students, according toDr. Ann Geisendorfer, the HudsonValley criminal justice departmentchair.

“We have students this fall who willtake advantage of this opportunity,”Geisendorfer said. “Plattsburgh is aSUNY school with an established pro-gram, so we are very pleased they will

be offering this option for continuedstudy right on our campus.”

The addition of four-year college of-ferings is part of a larger trend amongcommunity colleges within the SUNYsystem, according to Dr. Robert Gold-en, dean and assistant to the presidentat the SUNY Plattsburgh Branch Cam-pus in Queensbury. Under the state’sguidelines, the community collegescannot offer bachelor degrees. How-ever, working with four-year colleges,like the one in Plattsburgh, they areable to offer most of the four-year de-gree requirements right on site.

Under the existing guidelines, how-ever, enrolled students will be re-quired to attend at least one class atthe SUNY Plattsburgh Branch Campusin Queensbury, because the site is anextension and not a branch campus.

“Even so, this is a tremendous op-portunity for individuals in the Al-bany area who, for a variety of rea-sons, are not able to attend other col-leges in Albany and are not in a posi-tion to relocate to one of the othercomprehensive colleges in the state,”said Golden. “We feel it is in our bestinterest to be of service to these stu-dents.”

PLATTSBURGH— If you heard musiccoming from Beekman Street last week, youweren’t alone.

The Samuel F. Vilas Home kicked off theirfirst annual summer concert series with aperformance by folk musician GarySargeant July 8. Every Thursday throughAug. 26, the Vilas Home will host a free con-cert at 6 p.m. on the back lawn of the prop-erty.

“[The residents] love the storytelling,they love the singing, they love the familyatmosphere that it brings, so we couldn’task for better,” said activities director JulietDubay.

Dubay said at the first event, only 23 ofthe 43 residents attended the event becauseof the hot weather.

“The 23 that did participate stayed for theentire hour and enjoyed it so much. It wasvery comfortable; under the tent it was verybreezy,” said Dubay.

While the idea behind the music is to beentertainment for residents, it goes beyondthat, said Dubay. The resident council —

which consists of Vilas residents — is open-ly inviting community members as well asgiving the public a “thank you.”

“The residents of Clinton County havetreated our residents with an abundance ofkindness and sincerity over the past yearsthe home has been in operation,” saidDubay. “Family involvement was one of thereasons [for holding the event], the otherwas to give back to the community. We haveso many volunteers that come through here.They come and do activities, they drive theresidents, and we want to say, ‘Please comehere and relax.’”

Another reason to invite the public, saidDubay, is to support the local musicians per-forming.

“They’ve been so loyal to us over theyears that this was a way to announcethem,” she said. “Some of them haven’tplayed, some of them are up and comingmusicians and haven’t played for other fa-cilities, and we’d like them to get more ex-posure.”

Artists scheduled to perform include JackWolfe & Joanna Dascoli, Roy Hurd, TheSweet Adelines, Charlie Stone’s The SplitRock Band, The Meter Maids, The Cast-

aways, and Rod Driscoll. The full scheduleof the summer concert series can be foundon the Vilas Homes Web site at www.vi-lashome.com.

“It’s a great time of year to just come andrelax and listen to some music, spend sometime with this wonderful population,” saidDubay. “They enjoy seeing new faces andpeople, they enjoy talking to people and

they enjoy the music and they extend the in-vitation to you to enjoy the music as well.”

Concerts are hosted free of charge. Re-freshments will be served.

Those interested in making a contributiontoward future events at the Samuel F. VilasHome, may send donations in care of the Vi-las Home Resident Recreation Fund to 61Beekman St., Plattsburgh N.Y. 12901.

Beyond this routine connection, they proved to be true preparedness partners by stepping for-ward at the height of the H1N1influenza pandemic to provide CCHD a staging center, meeting everystorage criteria that was essential to efficient operations. They are also now a pre-designated pointof distribution site and training locale for the local Medical Reserve Corp.

PLATTSBURGH — Cornell CooperativeExtension of Clinton County 4-H is encour-aging kids to explore the fun side of science.

The organization will host “4-H SummerScientists,” a free program for elementary-and middle school-age youths in ClintonCounty beginning next month. The pro-gram, explained coordinator Alexa King,will be held a three locations — SaranacTown Hall in Saranac, Northern AdirondackCentral School in Ellenburg Depot, and theTed K. Community Center in Plattsburgh.

“We went to schools asking kids whatthey wanted to learn about,” King said ofdeciding on the curricula.

As a result, children at the Saranacand Ellenburg programs will learnabout the science of rocketry and flight,giving them an opportunity to build rock-ets, gliders and planes. Children atthe Plattsburgh program will beintroduced to “eco-exploring.”

“We take the kids to Point auRoche and show them how easyit is to walk around and appre-ciate all the great things we haveout there,” King explained of the Eco-Ex-plorers program.

King said she’s especially looking for-ward to bringing the program to children inthe Northern Tier as past summer programsoffered by CCE haven’t reached out that far.

“We haven’t had a chance to work with

the young people in Ellenburg be-fore, so I’m really excited we’reexpanding to another location,”

she said. “I’m really excited.”The Saranac program will be open

to youths in grades 3-6 and take placeWednesdays Aug. 4, 11, 18 and 25,from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Ellenburg

program will be open to youths ingrades 6-8, beginning Monday, Aug. 2.That program will be held from 10 a.m.

to 12 p.m. and continue Tuesday, Aug. 3;Thursday, Aug. 5; and Friday, Aug. 6.

The Plattsburgh program will be open toall elementary- and middle school-ageyouths and also take place Aug. 4, 11, 18 and25. That program will be held each day from1-3 p.m.

Each program is free of charge thanks, inpart, to funding from the state Office ofChildren and Family Services. All necessarymaterials will be provided.

Registration is required and is first-come,first-served for the first 20 youth at each lo-cation. Though the deadline for registrationis Monday, July 26, King encourages parentsto still call after the deadline in the event oflast-minute openings.

“We’ll have a waiting list and, in the eventwe still have spots open, we’ll still take sign-ups,” said King.

“And, if parents want to come and play,too, we welcome that,” she added.

For more information or to register, callthe CCE office at 561-7450 or send an e-mailto [email protected].

Kids’ program looking for ‘summer scientists’

July 17-23, 2010 news and views/the green scene • 9the ‘burgh


PLATTSBURGH — The USA Luge SliderSearch first came to the area last year to findpromising young athletes with the potential toone day compete at the international level. OnJuly 17, coaches with the search will return.

The slider search has been around for almost25 years, touring the country to find athleticyoungsters between the ages of 11 and 14.

“It just made sense to ... start focusing in theregion where the tracks are,” said luge coachFred Zimny. “We’re doing a lot more in the ParkCity, Utah area and a lot more in the New York,Northeast area.”

On July 17, there will be two luge clinics, onefrom 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the other from 2 to 5p.m. Zimny said he will be looking for both phys-ical skills as well as their skills on the luge itself.

“[The clinics] consist of an on-sled portionwhere they’re actually riding the sleds down ahill and they take maybe six runs or so,” he ex-plained. “During that, the coaches are evaluatingthem and looking at how their steering control is,their position.”

The sled is actually a wheeled luge that thekids will ride down a hill at Clinton CommunityCollege, where the clinic takes place.

“After that we also do a small battery of fitnesstests,” said Zimny. “In the end, we look at howthey did on the sleds as well as what their phys-ical skills are.”

Although most of the kids who will take part

in the clinic have probably never seen a luge,much less ride one, Zimny said they may still dowell.

“If a kid is involved in virtually any sport thatteaches them how to use their body and teachesthem athletic skills, that’s going to transfer verywell to luge,” he explained.

After the clinic, the coaches will choose thosewho they find promising to go to a one-weekscreening camp at the Lake Placid Olympic Cen-ter in the fall.

“They would stay at the Olympic training cen-ter and really get a crash course in luge,” Zimnysaid. “They go out and slide on the actual lugerun every day.”

“[It’s] really a very intense week of training sowe can really evaluate them and see who has thetalent,” he added.

Following the screening camp, the number ofkids are narrowed down and will be named to theJunior Development Team.

“It’s sort of the first rung in a ladder that couldeventually lead up to an Olympic team one day,”explained Zimny.

Those who are interested in taking part in theclinic may call 1-800-USALUGE or visit www.us-aluge.org. Although it is recommended kids signup ahead of time, Zimny said there will probablybe room for those who just want to show up theday of the event. There will also be two clinics atCCC Saturday, Aug. 14 and Saturday, Sept. 11.

“If nothing else, just come out and try it,” Zim-ny said. “And, if it’s the beginning and the endof your luge career, at least you had a good time.”

Downhill sport heads upstate this Saturday


PLATTSBURGH — After fourmonths of diet and exercise,contestants of the North Coun-try Biggest Loser can say theycollectively lost 314.9 pounds,rendering it a success.

“I thought it went reallywell,” said the program’s train-er, Mary Duprey. “Most of thepeople had success.”

Although a couple contest-ants did not complete the ses-sion, those who did were stillable to meet the goal of an over-all 300 pounds lost.

“They were pretty excited,”Duprey said of the contestantswhen they passed their goal. “Iknow the last couple of weeksthey were really pushing.”

Duprey herself was also chal-lenged during the program.

“I’ve never done anythinglike that before,” she said.

Hoping to have a second ses-sion beginning in the fall,Duprey has already thoughtabout what she’d like to change.

“It’s hard to do group thingswhen you have such a diversegroup,” she explained. “I thinkthat’s what I would focus onnext time. Trying to get the sameskill level together.”

Steve Peters, superintendentof the city’s recreation depart-ment, is currently working withcity council members to expandthe program for its next “sea-son,” including more trainersand 40 contestants.

Contestant Jim Snook is al-ready looking to be a part of thesupport group for the next ses-sion, as he found North CountryBiggest Loser made a “huge im-pact” on his life.

“I think I started the programat 324 [pounds],” Snook said.“My last weigh-in was 264.”

By reducing his caloric intaketo about 1,200 calories a day,Snook not only lost 60 pounds,but several inches around hiswaist.

“I probably was wearing a 46.I probably should have been ata 48,” he said. “I am floatingaround right now and am more-than-comfortable in a 40.”

Overall, the whole experienceof North Country Biggest Loserwas “incredible” for Snook.

“Being overweight is lonely,”he said. “You’re fighting withyourself. You feel like you’re byyourself. But, when I got intothis program, I was immediate-ly embraced by people that werejust like me.”

Through the program, Snookwas also able to run a 5-kilome-

ter race July 11, during theNorth Country Biggest Loser 5Kwalk/run at the PARC Oval.

“It’s better than anything I’veever done before,” he said of therace. “I’ve never ran in a 5K.”

Although Snook has yet totake a stress test, he is also cer-tain he will be coming off hisblood pressure medication.

For Snook though, the experi-ence of the program not only af-fected him, but his family aswell.

“My wife has lost almost 25pounds,” he said. “We eathealthier at home.”Snook is also working to helphis mother and sister loseweight, through support andhelping them to count calories.His personal goal is to lose 60more pounds.

North Country Biggest Loser meets goal

A gri-Mark is owned and controlled by dairy farm

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

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

grow each year, adding to our farmers’ milk checks. Our Cabot cheese again won the title of “World’s Best Cheddar” in 2006.

Agri-Mark farmers also own the McCadam brand of New York dairy products, and that investment is generating income

for them as well. In 2007, McCadam won first place at the U.S. Cheese Championships in Wisconsin and the title “America’s Best Cheese!” Agri-mark had a

record year of profits in 2007 and the future looks bright!

For more information on working with other Northeast farm families for better prices, call our

Membership Department toll-free at 1-800-225-0532 or contact us at www.agrimark.net

PLATTSBURGH — When GrooveJunkies come to town, the band travelsa long way to get here. However, if youask them, they’ll tell you it’s worth thetrip.

“We absolutely love the fans here,”said Keith Vidic, bassist for the Water-bury, Conn. band.

Vidic and his bandmates — rhythmguitar player and lead vocalist EricBleile, rhythm and lead guitarist BryanLendroth, drummer Chris Breton andlead vocalist Trish Radil — have beenplaying the Plattsburgh area for thepast two years, first playing at OliveRidley’s. The self-proclaimed “mod-ern rock party band” has been enter-taining audiences playing both origi-nals and covers since 2001.

“We came up with hundreds of pos-sible names for the band, and it camedown to “Groove Junkie” or “Hip-popotamus and the Funky Monkey,”said Vidic. “We chose Groove Junkiebecause it was shorter and easier tosay, although I still liked the Hippoone.”

Clubs tended to announce the bandas “the Groove Junkies,” so the bandjust went with it, adding an “s” to theirname,” said Vidic.

“Our original idea for the music weplay was modern rock, energy musicwith a groove feel,” explained Vidic.“Something you could dance to butstill be entertained by watching theband perform.”

Eventually, the band added to thattheory, playing songs people know,but that aren’t usually seen performedby bands.

“Having both a male and femalesinger gives us a lot of flexibility toplay all types of music,” said Vidic.

“I think we put our personalitiesinto our sound and our show,” saidLendroth. “We tend to pick songs withenergy that will keep the crowd goingand wanting to see more.”

The band has a new demo in theworks, with plans in the meantime toplay a charity fundraiser this summer.Though the majority of their gigs arein their native Connecticut, that does-n’t mean the Groove Junkies will be offthe Plattsburgh radar.

“You can find us all over Connecti-

cut, New York, Massachusetts and thiswinter up in Vermont for variousshows,” said Vidic.

“I don’t think booking started yetfor Olive Ridley’s come fall, but I’msure we’ll be back there a few times be-fore next summer,” added Lendroth.

And, the fans are what make themore than 500-mile trip to Plattsburghworth the drive.

“Fans in Plattsburgh seem to appre-ciate us more I think,” said Breton.“The cover scene is getting so over-sat-urated in the Northeast these days andI don’t think there are as many coverbands in the Plattsburgh area as thereare in Connecticut.”

“We love the fans in and aroundPlattsburgh — some of our most dedi-cated fans hands down,” said Radil.“We’ve even had some drive five hoursto come see us in Connecticut.

(Editor’s Note: Groove Junkies will per-form Friday, July 23, and Saturday, July 24,at the Naked Turtle on Dock Street. Theshow will begin at 10 p.m. Their completeschedule can be found on their Web site,www.thegroovejunkies.com. They may alsobe found on Facebook by searching the key-word “Groove Junkies.”)

Getting hooked on some groovin’

Helping HaitiStudents from Momot Elementary School raised $1,724.66 earlier this year for victims of the earthquake in Haiti. The money was presented to Jeanie D. Roberts,executive director of the North Country chapter of the American Red Cross, seen here surrounded by students.


GREAT LAKES, Ill. — Navy SeamanBlake E. Dyson recently completed U.S.Navy basic training at Recruit TrainingCommand, Great Lakes, Ill.

During the eight-week program,Dyson completed a variety of trainingwhich included classroom study andpractical instruction on naval customs,first aid, firefighting, water safety andsurvival, and shipboard and aircraftsafety. An emphasis was also placed onphysical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is“Battle Stations.” This exercise gives re-cruits the skills and confidence theyneed to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Sta-tions” is designed to galvanize the basicwarrior attributes of sacrifice, dedica-tion, teamwork and endurance in eachrecruit through the practical applicationof basic Navy skills and the core valuesof Honor, Courage and Commitment. Itsdistinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed totake into account what it means to be aSailor.

Dyson, a 2006 graduate of PlattsburghHigh School, is the son of Lorri A. Dysonof Plattsburgh.

PLATTSBURGH — The brothers from theState University of New York at Platts-burgh’s Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity wantto support childhood literacy. As a result,the chapter has traditionally held an annu-al bowl-a-thon, raising money for the na-tional “Books for Kids” campaign.

This year, however, the group wanted todo more and to make their efforts local. So,they set to work hosting a table in AngellCollege Center and “storming the dorms” togather donations. Then, to top it off, theyheld the inaugural SigTauStock, a family-friendly event featuring live music.

These efforts netted $750 and 50 books, allof which were donated to the Child Care Co-ordinating Council of the North Country forJourney into Reading, an early literacy pro-gram. The program sends volunteers to readto families in Plattsburgh’s Champlain Cen-tre mall from 4:30 to 6 p.m. every Thursday.After hearing a story or two, the childrenwho attend get to pick out a free book. Theprogram has given away 25,000 books dur-ing the last eight years.

With around 100 books given away week-ly, the fraternities’ donation will amount toabout a month and a half worth of books.

“Every penny will be used to buy books,”said Alice Sample, coordinator of the pro-gram, who was very impressed by the menof the fraternity.

Sample went to SigTauStock and found

“they were just having a goodtime while doing goodthings.”

And, those good thingshave already made an impacton her program.

“Without fundraising ef-forts like this, the bookswould not be there for chil-dren,” said Sample.

At its national roots, SigmaTau Gamma started out as ateacher ’s fraternity. This his-tory — combined with SUNYPlattsburgh’s history as ateacher ’s college and the factthe local chapter has severaleducation majors — all makethe charity a good fit, saidNick Lavigne, the group’s vicepresident for recruitment.

In fact, the brothers believeso much in the cause that, inaddition to donating funds,they intend to donate theirtime and volunteer to read tochildren at the mall in the nearfuture.

“A strong foundation inreading is an essential component to eachchild’s education, and, without that skill,children struggle in school,” said Sigma TauGamma Chapter president Jonathan With-

erell. “It is our hope that the combined ef-forts of Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity and theJourney into Reading organization can helpour community’s children to achieve read-

ing success, and, in sodoing, give them theconfidence they need tosucceed in all of theireducational endeav-ors.”

Lavigne, who is alsothe vice president forpublic relations for theInterfraternity Council,said the reason fraterni-ties and sororities em-bark on such philan-thropic endeavors goesback to the definition ofwhat a fraternity or asorority is.

“Fraternities aremeant to take you andmake you into some-thing more,” said Lavi-gne.

Sigma Tau Gammaadvisor ElizabethBernat said she is proudto be associated withfraternity men of suchdistinction, who, “as ev-idenced by their dedica-

tion and enthusiasm for service to otherslike child care services, embrace and live outthe true spirit of fraternalism.”

Fraternity brothers donate hundreds to childhood literacy
