Reincarnating Centennial

House

Reincarnating Centennial

House

By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

SARANAC — The Rural PreservationCompany of Clinton County is breathingnew life into what’s been called one ofthe town’s most recognized landmarks.

The Centennial House, a building con-structed in the early 1800s on what is to-day Ganong Drive, is being rehabilitat-ed thanks, in part, to funding from theNew York State Housing Trust Fund. Du-quette Brothers Construction of Platts-burgh was awarded the contract, whichwill create three one-bedroom apart-ments for senior citizens age 62 and old-er, as well as a new office for the RuralPreservation Company, which is cur-rently located in Tedford’s Plaza on StateRoute 3.

“I’d say we’re probably about 45 per-cent complete,” organization executivedirector Mary E. Mattila said of the proj-ect.

The Rural Preservation Company pur-chased the house from the Saranac Se-nior Citizens Club in January 2006, but

the building’s history dates back muchfurther than that, said town historian JanCouture. The building, which was builtas a private residence nearly 200 yearsago and later became a hotel, was part ofwhat was once called Hopper ’s Corners,named after one of the town’s early set-tlers. Hopper ’s Corners was a central lo-cation for commercial and social activi-ty in the town, Couture said, with per-formances and gatherings at the nearbyGrange hall and town bandstand.

“It was a bustling area. It was thelifeblood of the town and the Centenni-al House was a part of that,” said Cou-ture.

Though creating more senior housingwon’t necessarily bring more bustle tothe neighborhood, Mattila hopes thereincarnation of the Centennial Housewill be an important addition for the eld-erly community.

“I think this is ideal for our seniors, es-pecially for ones who have lived heretheir entire life and want to continue toreside here,” said Mattila. “This is a so-lution for them to stay in the area.”

Mattila said she’s also glad to see the

project will mean one less eyesore in thetown, especially one that’s been vacantfor the past seven years.

“The people that live here and, ofcourse, the area around where Centenni-al House is, have just seen it going down-hill and dilapidating,” she said. “[Theproject] is very, very important to them.It’s a historical home and to have itbrought back to life is absolutely won-derful.”

Couture agreed, saying she waspleased to learn the Rural PreservationCompany is bringing the house backfrom the brink of a state where it wouldlikely have one day been condemned.

“This is a part of our heritage,” shesaid. “It’s one of the few brick houses inSaranac and once it’s gone, it’s gone.”

The Rural Preservation Company iscurrently taking applications for hous-ing at the Centennial House, which is in-come-based. For more information, con-tact Mattila Monday through Friday, 8a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at 293-7569.

The project is expected to be complet-ed sometime next month, said Mattila.

How long does it take you to take down your Christmas tree?

Being happy with a plain old cellphone for a long time, I have recent-ly found myself interested in an An-

droid phone. I don’t know if it’s the commer-cials causing the interest or the laughter I getfrom nearby teenagers when I’m texting.

An Android phone is any phone device thatruns the Android operating system. They be-long to the class of cell phones called “smartphones,” which are essentially handheldcomputers with a processor, memory, storage,an operating system and so forth. They doway more than simple phone conversations ortexting. Like a PC, they are only limited inwhat they can do by the installed applica-tions.

There are many Android phones in use today. Most run anolder version of Android that had problems common of newtechnology and therefore did not attract a lot of attention.That is changing quickly as a flood of new devices runningthe newer 2.0 version of Android are now hitting the mar-ket. One of the first is Droid, which is the name of a partic-ular handset from Motorola offered by Verizon Wireless. Inearly November, Droid had the distinction of being the first

Android v2.0 phone from Verizon.Many media outlets that follow the tech-

nology say Android v2.0 is about to have itsmoment in the sun. They predict Android-based smart phones are serious contendersto surpass the Apple iPhone in popularity.

Flurry.com reported 250,000 Droids weresold in the first week. Compare that to 1.6million iPhones in their first week. A closerlook at the numbers reveals many iPhonesales were to people upgrading or Applebrand loyalists.

Considering Droid is brand new and hasno follower, 250,000 is an impressive num-ber. With many handsets quickly coming

from many manufacturers, Android v2.0 will be somethingto watch.

Identity thieves, beware: seniors aren’teasy targets anymore. They have beenforewarned and forearmed.

According to an Oct. 28, 2009 Older Amer-icans report, the Department of Health andHuman Services and the Department of Jus-tice recently released new tips and informa-tion to help seniors and Medicare beneficiar-ies deter, detect, and defend against medicalidentity theft.

Medical identity theft occurs when some-one steals a patient’s personal information,such as his or her name and Medicare num-ber, and uses the information to obtain med-ical care, to buy drugs or supplies, or to fraud-ulently bill Medicare using the patient’s stolen identity.

“When criminals steal from Medicare they are stealingfrom all of us. Preventing medical identity theft is an im-portant part of our work to stop Medicare fraud, and thesetools will give seniors important information about how todeter, detect and defend against ID theft and fraud,” HHSsecretary Kathleen Sebelius stated in a press release.

The released materials include practical steps againstmedical identity theft. Beneficiaries are reminded to bewareof offers of free medical equipment, services, or goods in ex-change for their Medicare numbers. Beneficiaries are also en-couraged to regularly review their Medicare Summary No-tices, Explanation of Benefits statements, and medical bills

for suspicious charges and to report sus-pected problems.

“This administration is committed toguarding Medicare against fraud and abuse.We will continue to protect the integrity ofthe nation’s public health programs and vig-orously pursue those who seek to take ad-vantage of our most vulnerable citizens,”said assistant attorney general Tony West.

“OIG’s special agents frequently uncoverfraud schemes that involve the sale and useof stolen Medicare identification numbers.We’re cracking down on these schemes andworking to help stop medical identity theftbefore it happens,” said HHS inspector gen-

eral Daniel R. Levison.The new tips and a printable brochure, produced by the

HHS Office of the Inspector General are now available atwww.stopmedicarefraud.gov and www.oig.hhs.gov/fraud/idtheft.

Knowing the best ways to usecoupons and match them to low-priced sales gives shoppers a huge

advantage compared to paying full price atthe grocery store. Stocking up when items areat very low prices is, of course, another factorin saving big on the items we buy often. Sowhat’s the third component to super-coupon-ing success?

For me, it’s organizing and using mycoupons as efficiently as possible. The news-paper may contain 40 or more coupons eachweek. That’s a lot of paper to potentially man-age. And truthfully, I do not want to cut all ofthose coupons out then keep track of lots oflittle loose pieces of paper, sorting them by product type andcategory and watching expiration dates. That can quickly be-come a job in itself! Instead, I’ve become a big fan of a “cli-pless” system for handling coupon inserts, called clipless be-cause, well, it means you will clip less! Instead of cuttingeach coupon out, I save the entire insert each week. I storethe inserts in an accordion file, which can be found in anystore that carries office supplies. I place the current month’scoupon inserts in the front pocket of the file and the previ-ous month’s in the next divider, and so on. There are manyweeks when I don’t even flip through the insert when it ar-rives, I simply stick it in the file so I know where it is. Theimportant thing is to keep all of the inserts together in oneplace, so that you have all of your coupons on hand whenit’s time to plan shopping trips.

Another nice thing about this method is that it ensures youkeep all of your coupons, not just the ones that you thinkyou’ll use. It eliminates the “beginner mistake” of cuttingjust the coupons you think you’ll use and then throwing therest of the coupon insert away. Super-couponers know dis-carding the “unnecessary” coupons means you’ll also throwaway coupons for items that will be free later. Now, if frozenpeas go on sale for $1, you know that the $1 coupon for the

peas offered in last month’s paper is still onhand, waiting for you to cut it out and go getsome free veggies! Keeping all of the insertsintact and storing them together is the firststep in this process.

Then, when I am ready to plan this week’sshopping trips, I turn to the Internet to helpme determine which coupons to clip. Thereare many coupon Web sites that will actual-ly give a list of every item currently on salein your area grocery store and match thecoupons to the sales for you. Each of thesesites operates on the understanding youhave saved all of your coupon inserts. Thesite tells you exactly which insert the coupon

you need for a particular item appears in. An example? Asite may say “Spreadable butter is on sale for $1.69. Use the$1.25 coupon from 11/16 SS and take it home for 44 cents.”

The reference to “11/16 SS” tells an informed shopper ex-actly which coupon insert the coupon appears in — in thiscase, the Nov. 16 edition of the SmartSource coupon insert.If you look at your coupon inserts, you’ll notice each one hasa name at the top. These Web sites will tell you exactly whichinsert your coupon appears in by date and name. You thensimply pull that insert from your file, clip just the couponyou need and replace the insert in the file for later use.

On my Web site, www.supercouponing.com, I’ve got a linkon the home page called “Getting Started.” This section ofmy site illustrates the method in more detail and containslinks to many popular coupon Web sites that will help youplan shopping trips with ease.

SATURDAY January 2, 2010 www.clinton-today.com CLINTON TODAY - 5

This morning, my 2-year-old daugh-ter made me very proud. She founda seed catalog, a pillow, and a blan-

ket, climbed up onto the couch, and proud-ly proclaimed she was going to “read abook.” I guess I’m training my kids early.

Whether you are a novice seed cataloguser, like my daughter, or have purchasedquite a few seeds through the mail, there arealways a few tips to help make the transac-tion easier.

The first thing to do is to become familiarwith some of the common terms. One thatcan be seen more and more frequently is thephrase “pelleted seed.” Seeds that are verysmall, and therefore difficult to handle, can now be pur-chased in a pelleted form. These seeds are coated with sub-stance to make them larger, and easier to plant. You willprobably get fewer seeds per packet, but the ability to holdand plant one seed at a time may outweigh the cost differ-ence!

Other seeds will state they are treated. This means theseeds went through a heat or chemical treatment to kill anypossible fungus. Some fungal diseases can be transferred

through the seed. Most organic seeds are un-treated, but you can carefully treat seeds athome using a hot water bath to kill fungalspores. See next weeks column for more in-formation on this.

Another possibility when purchasing seedsis to find varieties that have been bred for dis-ease resistance. If you know powderymildew, rust, or another disease is often aproblem for you, look for cultivars that statethey are disease resistant or tolerant. Vari-eties may vary between seed catalogs, so re-view several to find the best choices for yoursituation.

And, finally, don’t get too carried away. Ifind my seed catalogs very tempting during the wintermonths! Seeing all the wonderful photos of summer vegeta-bles and flowers makes it easy to overestimate what I can ac-tually fit into my garden when spring comes around!

When your thoughts turn to spring planting

December is always a challengingmonth as we all wait for the win-ter weather to change. If snow ar-

rives, then we begin to deal with all the is-sues associated with snow plowing, shovel-ing, driving inconveniences, and safety con-ditions. We were fortunate this December asthe weather cooperated and no huge stormsarrived. I am sure, however, they are on theway!

I have always been proud of the generosi-ty of the people of the North Country, espe-cially during the holidays. The contributionsto the Salvation Army, The Christmas Bu-reau, Toys for Tots and all the other holidayagencies is very impressive. This year was no exception andone other wonderful act of kindness worth mentioning wasthe dinner provided to the needy by Harold and Betty Ben-jamin of Benji’s Café. They held a holiday dinner and servedhundreds of dinners through donations and the hard workfrom them and many volunteers. Leisa and David Boise as-sisted with dinner seating at their downtown business, Vil-lari’s Self Defense Center. Harold mentioned to me he planson making this a yearly event.

My schedule was busy as usual with meetings throughoutthe month. I attended the open house at the new indoor stor-age facility, Lucenda’s, located at the old Bouyea BakingCompany Building. The business is being managed by Loriand Mark Allen. Sunrise Rotarians and the city are workingtogether as partners to plan, market, and run the 2010 May-

or ’s Cup and Regatta which I am confidentwill be a success. I attended a press event forthe Champlain Valley Transportation Muse-um announcing a February funding wine tast-ing and auction to benefit their Kid’s Muse-um. I performed a wedding ceremony for awonderful young couple and attended ameeting at the Chamber of Commerce with lo-cal business leaders addressing the Pfizer sit-uation, which is being handled as best it canin light of the decision to reduce hundreds ofjobs.

Regarding city business, budget sessionscontinue to be held by the Common Council.They are considering changes to my budget

and must vote on the official 2010 budget by the secondThursday in January per Charter Law. Constituent com-plaints and concerns are dealt with on a daily basis as bestwe can. Union negotiations, grievances, and personnel is-sues continue which are always interesting.

2010 will bring many challenges to the city of Plattsburghand the entire region. My hope is our elected officials inWashington and Albany understand the struggles people arefacing and do what is in the best interests of the majority andnot special interests.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Mayor reflects on holidays, looks toward new year

Discrimination still out thereIt was many years ago the U.S. Supreme Court declared that

separate was not equal in Brown v. the Board of Education.While our children thankfully are no longer separated by race,it is entirely acceptable to separate those children labeled aslearning disabled.

We take it for granted that our children have a right to ob-tain a high school diploma, and that their learning differencesand challenges will be addressed and embraced by the pub-lic school system, supported by our tax dollars. No child leftbehind, right?

Many of you may be sur-prised to learn of a very affable-sounding credential dubbed theIEP diploma. Yes, it soundsharmless enough, an IndividualEducational Plan diploma, re-served for those students whohave difficulty earning a “nor-mal” diploma.

Here in is the problem, theIEP diploma is not a diploma atall. It is a convenient pigeonholing of children that need theextra assistance from our education system and setting themon track to receive a worthless piece of paper that does littlemore than state this child attended school.

The student with an IEP diploma, is treated the same as astudent who dropped out of high school by our colleges andjunior colleges. A child with an IEP diploma cannot join themilitary. A child with an IEP diploma is in essence being de-prived of their constitutional right to receive equal educa-tional opportunity, under Brown v. the Board of Education.

You are probably asking yourself why the school systemwould endorse such a degrading and destructive policy, andfurther what parent would stand for it. To answer the latter,many parents do not have any understanding of the ramifi-cations of the IEP diploma.

There is a sadly high numbers of these children in sadly lowsocioeconomic homes, and while the implications may be ad-dressed, certainly they are not addressed with clarity or lackof inherent or systemic coercion. To answer the former, if Iwere cynical, I would offer convenience and funding are atplay.

Trying to be more optimistic, I will suggest a lack of man-power, and other appropriate alternatives are at the heart ofthe matter.

Thankfully, the state is debating eliminating this program.

We should all fully endorse that decision. In the meantime, Isuggest you join with me in the clear statement, “not mychild.”

I will not take away my child’s future before they have anopportunity to find it themselves and my dear school systemnor will you.

Help United Way reach its goalThere is no doubt that the North Country is

known for the giving spirit of the people that livehere. It never ceases to amaze me how this com-munity comes together for a common goal, evenin the toughest times. Although there are manyworthy causes to support in our area, there arefew that affect the number and variety of that im-pacted by the annual United Way campaign.

Our local United Way supports 33 memberagencies. These agencies are staples in our NorthCountry community, ones that most of us couldnot imagine life in our area without. The Girl

Scouts, Boy Scouts, YMCA, Senior Citizens Council, Cham-plain Valley Family Center, Alzheimer ’s Disease AssistanceCenter, and Hospice, to name just a few, rely on the supportof the United Way to continue to provide their much neededservices in our area.

This year, the United Way has a goal of $700,000 — a goalthat can only be reached by all of us coming together as ourNorth Country community always has. A gift to the UnitedWay does not have to be large in order to make a difference.If everyone gives just a little, it is amazing how quickly it alladds up. Find out if your employer does payroll deduction tothe United Way — the easiest way to give over time. If this isnot available to you, please consider a gift, in any amount, toour United Way at 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh N.Y.12901. Remember that every dollar brings us a step closer toproviding services to all walks of life in our community.

We all know someone that has been touched by the UnitedWay and its 33 member agencies. Let’s not let them down ...let’s show everyone that even in the toughest of times, thegenerosity of the people of the North Country will alwaysshine. Thank you, in advance, for your generous support.

MORRISONVILLE — The underprivi-leged who live within the MorrisonvilleRescue Squad District weren’t forgottenduring the holiday season.

Rescue squad members continued thetradition of assembling food baskets dur-ing the holidays, a tradition in existencesince 2005, said critical care technicianDonna Bodette. The effort began withThanksgiving baskets but eventuallychanged to Christmas dinner basketsbearing in mind the same principle ofhelping the less fortunate during whatcan be a tough time of year.

“We’ve been doing this for four yearsnow,” said Bodette, who credited fellowcritical care technician Melody Grahamfor being a driving force behind the effort.“Back then, we decided we wanted tomake it a yearly thing.”

“That year, we made apple pies. Myhusband and I were up all night long mak-ing them from scratch,” recalled Graham.

The labor of love was worth it, she said,though this year, rescue squad memberswere limited in the amount of time theycould put into preparing the baskets,which also included hams, fruits and veg-etables.

“This year, with working and it beingvery time consuming, we got the applesand gave them the recipe for apple

crisps,” said Bodette.Bodette and Graham said by providing

the recipe to basket recipients, it also gavefamilies an activity to do together. In all,15 baskets were assembled, including bas-kets coordinated through local humani-tarian Dave Justus for two victims of do-mestic violence.

“That was special,” said Graham, refer-ring to teaming up with Justus for the do-nations he coordinated.

Overall, the number of baskets assem-bled was comparable to recent years.

“We wanted to do more, but times arehard for everybody,” said Graham.

The rescue squad was still able to getgenerous donations for the baskets frommany local businesses and individuals,Graham added, particularly thanking thesupport of Dr. Frank Szmalc and his fam-ily. The Szmalcs and others donated theirtime and resources to make the outreachhappen, she said.

“And, Mel’s been our salvation becauseshe does most of the running around,”said Graham.

Graham and Bodette — who werehelped by friend Sue Faus and her son,Zachary, as well as Graham’s grand-daughter, Kimberly Stevens — said theywere excited just to hear how excited thepeople were that they were helping.

“We know there are a lot more needypeople out there, but if we can reach a fewpeople, that’s makes us feel good,” saidGraham.

CROWN POINT — After more than 80 yearsof service, the Lake Champlain Bridge hasbeen retired.

The span, which was closed Oct. 16 afterstructural problems were discovered, was de-molished Dec. 28 to make way for a newbridge.

“It was a little sad,” said Nancy Frasier,Times of Ti photographer, who covered thedemolition. “After all these years to see itcome down like that was sad.”

Construction of a new bridge is planned tostart in the spring with completion targetedfor summer 2011.

A new ferry service is being readied near theformer bridge in Crown Point to serve mo-torists while a new structure is being built. TheTiconderoga ferry is also running with thehelp of anti-ice measures.

The Lake Champlain Bridge opened Aug.26, 1929, with two governors — New York’sFranklin D. Roosevelt and Vermont’s John L.Weeks — leading the festivities.

This week’s demolition was nearly as fes-tive. Hundreds of people turned out in NewYork and Vermont to watch as the bridge wasimploded and crashed into the lake. Publicviewing areas were set up at Port Henry Beachand Bulwagga Bay in New York as well asalong Route 125 in Vermont.

The spectacle was televised live and broad-cast on the internet. It was covered by morethan 100 media members.

Snow and fog at the time of the demolitionlimited visibility to a half mile.

Sirens sounded 10, 5 and 1 minute before thedemolition to warn people of the blast, butmany of those watching missed the actual ex-plosion because it happened so quickly — inabout 2 seconds.

Slow-motion replays of the event showed aseries of 500 charges exploding along the2,184-foot bridge and its collapse.

“I could see it well,” said Frasier, who waslocated in a special media zone at the CrownPoint Historic Site. “There was some fog, butI could clearly see the lights (charges) flash-ing, the explosion and the bridge comingdown.

“It was kinda exciting,” she added.Some of those planning to watch the event

gave up because of the conditions.“I went to Port Henry to watch the demoli-

tion, but there was zero visibility so I wenthome to watch it on TV,” Crown Point Super-visor Bethany Kosmider said. “From what Isaw, it was very quick, not as loud as they saidit would be and an impressive display of pre-cision by a internationally-known company.

“It is sad to see the old bridge go down, butstaying focused to the future, I am hopeful thatthe new bridge will move along as smoothlyas the demolition,” she said. “Mother Naturecertainly did not want to cooperate today butthe job was accomplished anyway.”

New York Gov. David Paterson said thedemolition is a key step in restoring normaltraffic to the region.

“We continue to move as quickly as possibleto restore the vital connection between ourstates, and resume normal transportationacross Lake Champlain on behalf of those wholive near and depend on it in their daily lives,”Paterson said.

“The bridge coming down weighs heavy onour hearts, but it is a critical task that is nowcompleted,” he said. “The former Lake Cham-plain Bridge, which served our states wellsince it opened in 1929, had outlived its lifes-pan. Once the new bridge is built, we will havean even more majestic connection between ourstates, and the communities in the surround-ing areas will benefit from a span that will bemore modern, but will preserve the environ-mental and historical integrity of the area.”

Roads leading to the bridge were closed tothe public. A safety zone of 1,000 feet was es-tablished for land access and a 2,000 foot no-fly zone was declared by the Federal AviationAssociation.

The demolition was handled by AdvancedExplosives Demolition, Inc. of Idaho.

In order to protect the public during theLake Champlain Bridge demolition and sub-sequent debris removal, the United StatesCoast Guard has established a water safetyzone of a minimum of 1,000 feet on either sideof the bridge.

No vessels, vehicles or people are permittedwithin the area without Coast Guard approvalthrough April 15 to allow the channel to becleared of debris.

Fred Herbst is editor of the Times of Ti, a sisterpublication of this newspaper.

PLATTSBURGH — Nine-year-old Tara Lashway ofChamplain understands thetrue meaning of Christmas— giving.

During the past severalyears, Tara, a fourth-graderat Chazy Central RuralSchool, has seen many fami-ly members pass away fromcancer — three grandpar-ents, aunts and uncles.

“Some people have heart[disease], some haveAlzheimer ’s, our familyhappens to be associatedwith cancer,” said Tara’smother, Tammy.

Last year, Tara drove bythe Rite-Aid in Champlainand saw an underprivilegedman, which sparked an idea.

“[Tara] said, ‘Wouldn’t itbe nice to do something nicefor him,’” Tammy explained.“I said, ‘Well, where else canwe take this? What else doyou think we could do?”

From there, Tara realizedshe wanted to spread Christ-mas cheer to the patients onthe oncology floor at theCVPH Medical Center,where she had seen so manyof her family members getcare.

“I said ‘Mom, how aboutwe make goodies and actu-ally go to the hospital and goto the cancer floor,’” Tara ex-plained. “And, she said, ‘Oh,good idea.’”

Working together, bothTara and Tammy baked var-ious goodies for the pa-tients, nurses and doctors toenjoy. Now, they are makingit an annual tradition.

On Dec. 22, Tara and Tam-my returned to the hospitalwith cookies, bread, candycanes and lottery tickets intow.

“This year, I felt it was im-portant because there is somany bad things going on

around all the time,” Tammyexplained. “This is a littlegood story for a change. Justsomething special. Becausewe want to continue doingthis. But, we’re not doing itjust to have people look atus. We’re doing it becauseit’s all from the heart.”

The two were joined byTara’s aunt, Tracy Gooley;her brother, Tyler; andTyler ’s friend, Mitchell La-porte.

“I actually think it’s reallyimportant to do this, be-cause I think [my children]receive a lot,” explainedTammy. “I think it’s impor-tant for them to know at anearly age that it’s just as im-portant for them to give.”

During the visit, Tarawent into each patient’s

room, delivering a goodiebag of baked goods shehelped her mother bake. Forthose patients who were un-able to have food, they gavethem a Christmas card witha lottery ticket.

“I’m thinking ‘Oh mygosh, I hope they liketreats,’” Tara said of whenshe enters a patient’s room.“Hopefully, they’ll have amerry Christmas.”

Tyler, an 11th-grader atCCRS, did not visit the hos-pital last year, but after see-ing his sister make the tripthis year, he was very“proud.”

“I would have never doneit when I was her age,” Tylersaid. “I would have been tooscared. I look at her and shegoes into those rooms and

she seems pretty confident,even though I know some-times it can be pretty scary.”

“I’m proud of her for do-ing this,” he added.

The family hopes their actwill encourage others to getin the “giving” mood.

“Maybe this will encour-age other people to stop andtake a second,” said Tracy.“It’s not just about buyinggifts for other people, it’sabout doing something nicefor other people. Maybe thiswill encourage others to dosomething nice as well.”

KEESEVILLE — Friends ofthe North Country, a non-profit organization with amission of helping low-in-come families, has receivedword it will receive $100,000to renovate 12 homes in Clin-ton County.

According to the NewYork State Affordable Hous-ing Corporation, the stateagency which recently ap-proved the grant, the fund-ing will finance “renovationsfor homes in substandardcondition due to inadequatemaintenance.” Home im-provements will include therepair or replacement ofroofs, windows and doors, aswell as heating, plumbingand electrical system up-grades.

Scott Campbell, executivedirector of Friends of theNorth Country, said thefunding is very important tohelp correct conditionswhich threaten the healthand safety of homeowners.

“Certainly, it helps them,it helps us and it helps all theway around,” Campbell saidof the funding. “Especiallywhen you’re working withthese programs and youhave a certain unit goal anda certain amount of moneyand over the life of a partic-ular program, costs tend to

go up.” The overall project will

cost approximately $500,000,said Campbell, with the re-mainder funded through$400,000 provided by theNew York State Division ofHousing and CommunityRenewal’s HOME Program.

“With these funds to aug-ment those funds, it certain-ly makes our lives easier andalso allows projects to get allof the efficiencies and eligi-ble repairs accomplished inthese owner-occupied, low-income homes,” said Camp-bell.

“This grant will upgradethe aging housing stock inthe North Country,” Afford-able Housing Corporationpresident and chief execu-tive officer Priscilla Almod-ovar stated in a press release.“Our financings demon-strate that Governor [DavidA.] Paterson is committed toimproving the state's hous-ing even in these difficulteconomic times.”

The household incomelimit to participate in thehome renovation program is$54,566 for a family of four.Those interested in more in-formation about the programor about Friends of the NorthCountry may contact Camp-bell at 834-9606, ext. 104, orvisit their office at 1 Mill St.,Monday through Friday, 8a.m.-4 p.m.

PLATTSBURGH — When it comes the im-portance of giving back to the community,it’s a value students at Stafford MiddleSchool have learned well.

The Stafford Pride Committee, comprisedof community-minded students, and thePlattsburgh Teachers Association joined to-gether Nov. 19 through Dec. 23 to collectnonperishable food items for the Joint Coun-cil for Economic Opportunity of Clinton andFranklin Counties Food Shelf in Platts-burgh.

The collection drive was part of an ongo-ing effort by the school to give back duringthe holiday season.

“We ended up with well over 1,000 items,”said Jason Nisoff, one of the teachers behindcoordinating the drive. “It was like a domi-no effect. Once one student brought some-thing in, the rest would be more excited tobring donations in.”

“It felt good giving back to the communi-ty,” said eighth-grader Jeremy Carpenter.

“Helping people is good,” said Rachel Be-dard, another eighth-grade student.

Sixth-grader Charlie Morgan said he en-joyed helping with the drive, having firstgot actively involved in community serviceas a student at Oak Street Elementary.

“It was pretty good,” Morgan said of firstgetting involved. “We can’t do a lot, becausewe’re not the richest family, but we do whatwe can.”

The holiday food donation hasn’t been theonly cause students have helped this schoolyear. Among other causes, students havealso raised money for the Adirondack Hu-mane Society in Plattsburgh and the Cham-plain Valley Search and Rescue K9 Unit inKeeseville.

“It makes you feel happy and good aboutyourself,” eighth-grader Kelly Cantwellsaid about giving back to the community.“And, it makes the people we’re helpinghappy.”

To call my pup Cedara hellion on fourpaws would be the

understatement of the centu-ry.

In her first year on thisplanet, she’s managed tochew her way through everypart of my wardrobe, includ-ing no less than 20 pairs ofsneakers, boots, sandals andslippers as well as dozens ofelectrical cords.

No molding or piece offurniture in the house is sa-cred and she’s had an emergency oper-ation to have only lord-knows-what re-moved from blocking her intestine.

She ate my Oakley sunglasses. De-stroyed an iPod, a Nintendo DS, twocell phones, every X-Box controller inthe place and 10 remote controls.

She’s eaten the antennas off bothcordless phones and has reduced arather large collection of CDs andDVDs to useless orbs covered in tinytooth marks.

Most recently, she chewed her wayinto my ice fishing pack apparently be-

cause I’d left aminiscule piece ofjerky buried in aZip-Lock deep inthe pack’s under-belly.

On her way in,she managed toingest a plasticcup containing adozen or so fliescomplete withnumber six hooks.

I wasn’t all thatworried, though,

because she washed them down withfive dozen Christmas cookies we re-ceived last week during a festive officecookie swap.

I am not exaggerating — the dog ate60 cookies. And, she weighs only 24pounds.

At least she used to weigh 24pounds.

I found her sprawled out afterwardon the downstairs futon like an otterthat had just ingested a pint-sizedsumo wrestler.

She looked at me drunkenly with one

paw on her protruding belly and theother across her furry forehead as if tosay, “Stupid, stupid, stupid.”

The dog, however, is far from stupid.Take, for example, her uncanny

knack for opening the bifold doors be-hind which my kitchen garbage cansets.

For the purpose of a mental picture,it goes down something like this:

1) Lower the head;2) Charge the center of the door;3) Hurtle your tiny muscle-bound

body into said door;4) Repeat until said door opens far

enough to get said muzzle wedged be-tween said door and said door casing,and ...

5) Gorge on chicken bones, fishheads, peach pits, popsicle sticks, cantops and other life-threatening scrapsuntil the futon calls.

Cedar, for those who are newcomers to this column, is the youngdachshund I acquired a little more than a year ago to help me trackand locate mortally wounded deer. While she’s continually makingprogress in that regard, she seems just as intent in wrecking myhouse and her digestive system through random acts of mischief.

Oh, Cedar, that mischievous little dog

ALBANY — The New York State Depart-ment of Environmental Conservation advis-es visitors to the backcountry of the Adiron-dacks to be prepared for snow, ice and cold,and to be sure to use the proper equipment.

“While winter is an opportune time totake advantage of all that the AdirondackPark has to offer, the season can also pres-ent troublesome — even perilous — condi-tions to the unprepared,” state DEC Com-missioner Pete Grannis said in a recent pressrelease. “The snow cover in the Adiron-dacks is more than three feet deep in thehigher elevations. At this time, we requirevisitors to the Eastern High Peaks to use

snowshoes or cross-country skis for theirsafety and we strongly recommend that vis-itors to other parts of the Adirondacks dothe same.”

Snowshoes or skis prevent sudden falls or“post-holing,” avoids injuries, and easestravel on snow. Ice crampons should be car-ried for use on icy mountaintops and otherexposed areas.

In addition, backcountry visitors shouldfollow these safety guidelines:

• Dress properly with layers of wool andfleece — not cotton — clothing: a wool orfleece hat, gloves or mittens, wind/rain re-sistant outer wear, and winter boots.

• Carry a day pack with the followingcontents: ice axe, plenty of food and water,extra clothing, map and compass, first-aidkit, flashlight/headlamp, sun glasses, sun-block protection, ensolite pads, stove andextra fuel, and bivy sack or space blankets.

• Drink plenty of water — dehydrationcan lead to hypothermia.

• Eat plenty of food to maintain energylevels and warmth.

• Check weather before entering thewoods — if the weather is poor, postponeyour trip. The mountains will always bethere.

• Be aware of weather conditions at all

times — if weather worsens, head out of thewoods.

• Contact the DEC at 897-1200 to deter-mine trail conditions in the area you plan tovisit.

Adirondack Trail Information can befound on the DEC Web site,www.dec.ny.gov. The site provides generalinformation and seasonal conditions, spe-cific notices on closures and other situationsinvolving trails, roads, foot bridges andlinks to rules and regulations, hiker andcamper safety, low impact recreation,weather and more.

The recycling program incentive, however,often brings in hundreds of trees by the closeof the program, said Squier. And, it couldn’t besimpler, he added.

“It’s self-service; they drive up to the brushpile, untie it from the roof of their car or off theback of their utility trailer or pickup truck anddrop it off,” said Squier. “It will be very obvi-ous where the brush pile is located.”

Because they are run through a wood chip-per in the spring, trees brought to the landfillbrush pile must be free of lights, ornaments,tree-toppers, tinsel and tree stands, saidSquier.

“Running into a chipper with any of thoseon them would do a number on the chipperblades,” he said.

Squier also noted if a tree is brought to thelandfill in any sort of binding or bag, it mustbe removed before the tree is left in the brushpile.

“I know a lot of times it’s easier to handlethat way if it’s started shedding the needles offalready,” said Squier, “but once they arrive atthe brush pile, the outer tree bag needs to be

removed.”Squier added a trash receptacle is provided

near the brush pile to discard bags and otherbindings such as twine or rope.

Wreaths and centerpieces are also accepted,provided those dropping them off assure theyare free of any metal or other artificial frame-work or decorations.

“The problem with most Christmas wreathsis they are mounted on either a homemadeframe of metal coat hangers or the store-bought metal frames and quite honestly, mostpeople aren’t going to take the time to strip thewreaths off those metal frames,” said Squier.“And, that would raise havoc on the chipperwith the presence of that metal in there. If theyare going to dispose of Christmas wreaths andwhatnot, the metal must be removed.”

The landfill, located at 286 Sand Road, isopen Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.,and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. Christmastrees may be dropped off during those hoursonly.

Those wishing to dispose of their trees mayalso check with the respective municipal de-partments of public works or highway depart-ments as well as their private trash haulers tosee if tree pick-up service is offered.
