A Champlain business owner is workingto make the family’s holiday specialBy Stephen [email protected]

CHAMPLAIN — Joy Sarbou-Jubert couldn’t hold back thetears as she read the four little girls’ Christmas lists.

Body wash, soap and shampoo; items not normally foundon children’s wish lists.

“It breaks my heart,” said the owner of Global Fitness andMartial Art Club, 253 State Route 11.

“They are asking for basic, everyday needs.”For five years now, her business has sponsored a family

provided to them through JCEO, an organization that helpslow-income families in Clinton and Franklin counties. Thishas been the toughest year yet, and not just emotionally.

Sarbou-Jubert needs help fulfilling the four girls’ Christ-mas lists and is reaching out to the community.

“Everyone is having a tough time, and our membership isdown as well.”

That’s why, Sarbou-Jubert is being generous as well. Any-one who comes in with a purchased item from the wish listof the girls ages 5 through 15 will receive a free month mem-bership at her business.

“Each year, our gym members are so generous when itcomes to this stuff, and they help provide for the sponsorfamily,” she said. “You just hate not to be able to help getthem what is on their list.”

“I want to ensure these children have a good Christmas.”Plus, parents want to be able to provide for their children,

she said.She figures getting the community involved is a win-win

situation.“I am calling upon the community to help.”Sarbou-Jubert said she understands it is a tough economy

and many people are faced with tough times. She also knowseveryone wants to do the right thing, and that giving spiritoften comes out a little more around the holidays.

It is the right thing to do, said Sarbou-Jubert, who simplywants people to notice the angels on the mirror at her busi-ness that list a gift on each child’s wish list.

“It is tough for the children, and Christmas is about thechildren,” she said. “I am hoping every angel gets taken offthe mirror.”

Sarbou-Jubert stressed that there is nothing extraordinaryabout the list, besides the fact they are asking for basic needs.But, she said, they should have other items too.

They need to have a good Christmas, which will also helptheir parents. This would allow them to see the joy on their

children’s faces Christmas morning, Sarbou-Jubert said.“I think when you get to a certain age you start wonder-

ing why you are here and what it is about,” she said. “Tak-ing care of the kids of the next generation is what it is about,whether they are yours or not.”

Anyone who wants to help can call Global Fitness andMartial Club at (518) 297-3488.

The Route 22Bbridge has beenthe scene ofmany accidentsBy Stephen [email protected]

MORRISONVILLE — Aplan to replace a deteriorat-ing bridge is moving ahead.

New York State wants toreplace a well-traveledbridge that carries peopleover the Saranac River and islocated where the towns ofSchuyler Falls and Platts-burgh meet.

The Route 22B bridge inthe hamlet of Morrisonvillehas eroded and the statewould be forced to eventual-ly close it if it is not replaced,engineers say.

“It’s moving ahead,” saidMichael Flick, New YorkState Department of Trans-portation.

The state expects to spendroughly $9 million on theproject.

“We are at the point in theproject where we are still ex-amining some alternatives,”Flick said.

Residents living nearbythe bridge say the work islong overdue.

“Stand by the bridge andwatch the big trucks go by,”said Frank Davis, owner ofRed Barn Auto, 1959 Route22B. “You can hear thethump, thump, thump,thump, thump.”

But Davis is worriedabout the toll constructionwill take on his business.

“Hopefully they will getthe bridge done, and I won’tlose my business,” he said.“It has to be done.”

New York state must ac-quire private property toconstruct the new bridge,and some people could loseas much as 3 feet on eachside of the new construction.

But engineers say the un-derside and the deck of theexisting bridge is deteriorat-ing in several areas. Plus,steel trusses, connectingplates and horizontal crossbracing is corroding.

The bridge has also beenthe scene of several acci-dents over the years involv-ing vehicles, bicycles andpedestrians, according to astate analysis. There aresafety concerns pertainingto the bridge approaches.

The bridge replacementand highway improvementproject would begin be-tween the intersections ofEmory and Mason streets,along Route 22B in the Townof Schuyler Falls and extendeasterly to the intersectionof Route 22B and BusheyStreet in the Town of Platts-burgh.

The state plans to recon-struct 0.2 miles of Route 22B,including the intersections

of Mason Street, Rand HillRoad and Bushey Street.

It would replace the cur-rent bridge with a new truss-type structure with two 11-foot-wide travel lanes, 8-foot-wide shoulders and a 5-foot-6-inch-wide sidewalkon both sides.

The new, single-spanstructure would be roughly170 feet long.

New curb and sidewalkwould be built on both sidesof the roadway, while RandHill Road would be slightly

realigned for safety.Drainage would be im-

proved, waterlines and util-ities replaced and new guiderails installed.

New York state consid-ered alternatives, includingcontinued maintenance andstructure rehabilitation, butthey were deemed costlyand inadequate. Maintain-ing the current bridge wouldresult in its eventual closurein the future.

None of the alternativeswere pursued.

“We are looking to do itfor replacement instead ofrehabilitation,” Flick said.

The draft-design report iscomplete and has been sentto the main office for ap-proval. Once approved, the$9-million project goes tothe final-design phase andthen out the door for con-struction.

“We are looking to startspring 2014 and be done bysummer or fall,” Flick said.“This will be a one-seasonproject.”

PLATTSBURGH — Suzanne Barton hasfour children, her husband’s pay has beenslashed and she just found out she’s losingher job at the Plattsburgh Public Library.

“I am going to be the first clerk to go,” shesaid, in tears at Monday night’s PlattsburghPublic Library Board special meeting.

Faced with a $150,000 shortfall, the boardof directors voted to cut four positions, twolibrarians, one clerk and one paige.

Board members said they love the librarytoo, but cuts had to be made somewhere.

“The library is not a business,” said boardmember Harold Brohinsky. “You have to de-cide what to sacrifice.”

A large crowd gathered for Monday night’smeeting.

Plattsburgh resident Shera Marston is con-cerned about living in a community thatdoesn’t support its library.

“The city will have to contribute to the li-brary,” she said. “They haven’t been verysupportive.”

Plattsburgh Common Council member TimCarpenter, liaison to the library, said severaldepartments have requested more money,and the library is one of them. The Councilhas yet to make a decision, he said.

It finalizes the city budget in January.Library staff were shocked to learn about

the deficit and the layoffs. They said theywere given no notice.

“We didn’t know about being $150,000 inthe hole until we heard about it on WIRY,”said Librarian Colleen Pelletier. “No one

could explain how. We were blindsided.”The library’s projected budget shortfall is

$167,340, minus $17,000 in fund balance thatcan be applied to next year ’s budget.

Pelletier said the board won’t talk to themabout the budget. Library staff has ideas tosave money, and while it may not add up toa lot, it could save at least one position.

Other members of the community urgedthe public to take its case to the CommonCouncil and demand more funding for the li-brary.

After the public-comment period, theboard voted to eliminate four positions.

“There is a limit to how far we can pushCity Council,” Brohinsky said. “They providethe majority of our operating budget.”

He pointed out that services are being cutin all city departments. Everybody is hurting,he said, and funding sources are drying up.

Brohinsky admitted he voted for some-thing he did not want to do.

“But I don’t have a choice.”That did little to appease people such as

William Turcotte. He and his wife have beencoming to the library since 1997. Their daugh-ter looks forward to the summer reading pro-gram.

Turcotte said people rely on the library forbooks, the Internet and to seek employment.

“These cuts are awful.”Librarian Kelly Sexton wonders how the li-

brary will continue to provide the level ofservice the public has come to expect.

As for Barton, working for the library wasa dream job.

“We should have been given a heads-up,”she said. “I feel you did us a disservice.”

North Countryman Editorial

The new Marine Academyscheduled to open at Ticon-deroga High School next fall

will be a welcome addition to the re-gion’s education system and econo-my.

Operated by Champlain Valley Edu-cational Services and available to stu-dents from Glens Halls to Platts-burgh, the two-year program will pre-pare students for careers in the ma-rine industry — a business that re-mains strong locally despite the na-tional recession.

The new venture has the backing ofthe Eastern New York Marine TradesAssociation, a group of marine pro-fessionals desperate for trained help.

“There just aren’t enough marinetechnicians to fill all the jobs we haveavailable,” explained Roger Phinney,executive director of the Eastern NewYork Marine Trades Association. “Wehave jobs. We want to hire people. Wejust can’t find them.”

Marina owners and managers fromLake George, Bolton, Whitehall, LoonLake, Diamond Point, Brant Lake,Schroon Lake, Hague and Ticondero-ga attended an open house at the Ma-rine Academy recently. They cameaway impressed.

Rich Stolen, owner of Schroon LakeMarina and Loon Lake Marina, saidevery graduate of the Marine Acade-my will find a job immediately out ofhigh school. “We’ll be fighting forthem,” he said.

Bob Palandrani, owner of SnugHarbor Marina in Ticonderoga and amember of the Ti school board, hasbeen instrumental in the developmentof the Marine Academy. He stressedthe program is about much more thanmechanics. He said students willlearn about every facet of the busi-

ness — fiber glass, painting, welding,woodworking, computers, sales andmarketing.

Many of those jobs, he pointed out,are year-round, full-time opportuni-ties.

That’s more than can be said for jobprospects of many college graduatesthese days.

The Marine Academy will also be apartnership between education andbusiness, providing students withpractical experience while givingmarinas and others a trained work-force.

Scott Andersen, manager of FRSmith and Sons Marina in Bolton,said he has been in contact with ma-jor marine manufacturers such asMercury, Yamaha, Evinrude and Vol-vo. He believes those companies willsupport the the Ticonderoga MarineAcademy by providing specializedtools, training materials and comput-er access. He believes academy grad-uates will be able to leave school withmanufacturers’ certification — a hugeasset in the marina industry.

Andersen also believes the MarineAcademy can also expand in the fu-ture to train adult technicians. Thenearest Mercury training center is inNew Hampshire, he noted, and thenearest Yamaha training center is inGeorgia.

The Marine Academy in Ticondero-ga looks like a win-win situation forstudents and an important regionalindustry.

This editorial is the collaborative opin-ion of a board comprised of Thom Randall,Fred Herbst, Lou V arricchio, Keith Lob-dell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn andJohn Gereau. Comments may be directed [email protected].

Marine Academy a boostto students, economy One has to wonder,

with Herman Cainnow withdrawn

from the presidential racedue to his drop in the pollsand the excessive media cov-erage over several sexual al-legations and scandals, canany of the prominent figuresin government stand up tothe trust and expectations ofthe American public? Cain’ssupport seems to have drift-ed over to Newt Gingrichwho was criticized early inhis campaign for actions in his personaland public life. Is all that now to be over-looked or will he now become the targetfor personal flaws?

Is there no one person let alone two can-didates the public can agree has the unde-niable right stuff and are able to stand upto the intense public scrutiny to lead thisnation to a more stable economy andguide it through the ever changing worldevents? Do we really know, beyond seerperfection, what we expect from the indi-viduals we place in the nation’s highestoffice?

When we look back over our past lead-ers few presidencies were without flawsboth privately and professionally. FromGeorge Washington forward we’ve cometo understand that our leaders are humanwith faults and short comings. Despite ourdesire to see them reach perfection the re-ality is none can truly measure up as theideal candidate.

In this era of constant media surveil-lance, smart phone journalism and politi-cal spin masters is it any wonder weshould be surprised or disappointed whenthese candidates fall short of the super-hu-man demands we expect of them?

Is it too much to ask of our leaders thatthey be truthful, honest, hard working,fair, faithful, intelligent, loyal, god-fear-ing, respectable, even tempered, kind, un-derstanding, tough and well spoken? Is ittoo much to ask a leader to not have a pastcriminal record, bankruptcy, sexual indis-cretion, or harassment charge and aboveall not be egotistical or self centered whilepossessing a basic common sense that al-lows them to reach across political partiesto solve the nation’s problems? Well thatwould depend on who you speak with,but it really shouldn’t be that much of a

stretch to expect these indi-viduals to be of solid char-acter. But if you think aboutit and realize our most suc-cessful president in recenthistory was an actor itbrings things into perspec-tive. It may be far easier toplay the role of a presidentthan actually be one. Presi-dent Reagan had his faultsbut he was able to lead thenation successfully. Howmuch of what he accom-plished was borne out of

acting the role history will be the judgeover time.

President Obama has proven to be thetype of president many thought he was,which was an inexperienced communityorganizer who lacked the executive skillsto lead the country out of a strugglingeconomy. Many hoped his promises,charismatic charm and political savvywould create another Camelot era in thecountry. Combine that with the feel good,lofty thoughts of placing a black man inthe office as somehow making up for theway his race had been treated in the pastwould create a story book administrationas only Hollywood could write. Unfortu-nately, that has not come to pass. Todaywe blame the man for everything that hasgone wrong in the past three years andaside from his most staunch supporters,even criticize the few things that havegone right. With an approval rating that isone of the lowest ever recorded, PresidentObama’s best chance at a second termrests in the unknown facts surroundingthe republican nominee that might derailtheir candidacy in the same way it didCain’s untimely departure.

But who is really to blame when any ofthese candidates fail to meet the high stan-dards we’ve come to expect? Is the faultall theirs or do we share the blame for try-ing to make these men and women some-thing they can not possibly be…. perfect inevery aspect of their lives both personaland professional. Youthful indiscretions,poor decisions, hidden details, a darkside, criminal activity, a closet full ofskeletons, or affiliations we deem unac-ceptable. Who can predict what fortunesor misfortunes await us in the next year asthe presidential sweepstakes plays out

Organizing is the key to aĀect changeWe are the 99. Gotta admit, it’s a catchy phrase.

But is the growing social movement really the99? According to economic status, my mother

and her friends are part of the 99, but I know they disagreewith many of the movement’s liberal platforms.

But for any possible failings, one thing We are the 99 isdoing right is organizing.

If you want to accomplish any formidable task or affectchange, organization is key, not just in numbers, but in set-ting and carrying out your goals.

I covered education as a journalist for several years, andevery single one of those people complained about taxes,inadequate resources and funding, the narrowness of stan-dardized tests, soaring costs and shrinking state aid, andthat feeling that their pleas fell unheard off the edge of acliff, like tiny drops of water engulfed by the chaos at thebottom.

Educators organize and lobby yearly for more tools toteach their students and help them succeed, and govern-ment expects those same voices banging on the capital’sdoors. Yet taxpayers, with all their numbers and often thesame concerns, grumble and trudge along, sometimes tak-ing it out on the district by trying to vote down the budgetor turning out to pass one that lacks adequate resourcesand saddles people with more debt.

If they would only organize on massive levels and taketheir argument to Albany, demand lower taxes and, at thesame time, better schools, perhaps money would be spent

differently and schools could devote more time to educat-ing and less time cutting programs and positions andlightening taxpayers’ wallets. Down the road, that wouldundoubtedly result in a better educated workforce andpossible economic gains. Politicians need votes, and youcan be sure if massive numbers of taxpayers turned outand overwhelmed them on any particular issue, theywould listen.

We are the 99, Occupy Wall Street and the Tea party haveorganized. Granted, it’s unclear which group truly repre-sents the majority of Americans, but that’s not the point.What I am stressing is they are organized and ensuringtheir voices are heard.

At a Plattsburgh Public Library meeting, at least one com-munity member suggested people let city lawmakers knowthey do not support job cuts enacted in the face of a $150,000deficit. They need to organize and do that in numbers if theyhave any hope of swaying elected officials.

I recently spoke with people in Plattsburgh about whatthey think the city needs and many said a music venue. Idid the same in Rouses Point and they said a hotel andmore jobs. Well, band together, start petitions, attendmeetings and let the powers that be know what you want.Organize, reveal the numbers, if you have them, and makeyour voices heard, again and again and again. To me,that’s the first and most powerful step any group with adesire can take.

I’m not saying the powers that be are not already work-

ing for people, but you lighta fire under someone’s buttand he or she tends to workharder. You let elected offi-cials know 99 percent of thepeople want a music venue,they just might show up towork in Carharts with car-penter belts strapped around their waists.

Again, organizing is taking place, but much of it iscliche and expected, such as World Trade Organizationprotests, education lobbying and more. But I guaranteethere are massive numbers of Americans who feel stronglyan any given issue who never show up, never organize,never seek an outlet for their voices. Yes, people are busy,times are tough, and there are bills to pay, jobs to workand families to care for. But these issues we grumbleabout, they don’t go away, and in some cases the situationworsens and something breaks and suddenly doing noth-ing creates irreversible regrets and damage. It takes sacri-fice to affect change, and it takes organization.

Does organizing mean you win, if it’s even a case ofwinning or losing? No.

But better to try and fail then to grumble and give up.And hey, at the very least, maybe you’ll make a few new

friends.Stephen Bartlett is the editor of the North Countryman. He may

again? But do these unattainable standards rest with thepublic or is it the media that takes an issue and blows it upbeyond proportion. Americans gravitate to perceived win-ners and we are quick to jump onto and then back off thebandwagons based on the attention given by the mediaoutlets. Like a scab, that we just won’t let heal, we continueto pick at it until it become far worse than when it startedout.

Our collective logic over the years has been if you can’tbe trusted in your private life how can we trust you in thepublic arena. Yet President Clinton, despite his privateflaws, proved he could compartmentalize the issues andserved very effectively as the leader of the country. In theend we must decide what is the more important; a flawedcandidate who can lead the country back to prosperity orselecting a candidate who appears near perfect and saysthe right things but is unable to address the wide array ofissues affecting the nation. Is the election about the person,the job performance or the party? As is the case every fouryears, if nothing else, it’s always entertaining, but in 2012we need to look beyond the feel good beauty contest andhire a leader who can solve the many issues affecting ourcountry.

NAC’s students will visitsister school in FranceBy Katherine [email protected]

ELLENBURG DEPOT — French teacherJoseph Marcil has successfully bridged the3,635 mile gap between students of NorthernAdirondack Central School and those at-tending a sister or “twinned” school inNantes, France.

The Lycée Nicolas Appert High School inNantes, France, has been sending students tovisit the NAC school for the past two yearsfor two week visits.

After the second visit, Marcil said theNicholas Appert school went through theprocess of making NAC their official sisterschool. Becoming a sister school is consid-ered a great honor in France.

During their stay, visiting students cometo NAC and follow their host student’s reg-ular class schedule for a day and have achance to visit various educational locationin the North Country. They visit places likeFort Ticonderoga, the Lake Placid OlympicSports Arena, the Shelburne History Muse-um and the Ben and Jerry’s Factory.

In April, 18 NAC students, faculty andparents will be able to visit their sister schooland the students they have hosted.

“Our goal here is to create something, notjust a memory but a truely worthwhile expe-rience for the students here and in France,”Marcil said.

The exchange program started three yearsago after Marcil read an advertisement in a

national teaching magazine about languageteachers starting a pen pal service. The pro-gram later escalated from students pen pal-ing and “intense Facebooking” to studentstaking the nearly 4,000 mile journey toNantes.

NAC Principal Michael Loughman saidthe work Marcil has done has been an amaz-ing experience for both the students and thesurrounding community.

“(Through this program) he’s brought aworld of culture to the area that these kidsmight have never seen,” Loughman said.

Marcil said the students coming fromNantes have a similar economic backgroundas NAC students. The reason he and the fac-ulty in Nantes are committed to the partner-ship program is to bring opportunities tostudents they may never have again and togive students the ability to experience a cul-ture different than their own.

“It takes complete cooperation from teach-ers in both schools,” Marcil said. “We do thiswithout pay, just because we know the val-ue of this program and promote it as a strongeducational opportunity.”

Marcil started teaching at NAC 25 yearsago, when the school only had two frenchteachers. Since then, Marcil said the lan-guage department has grown to include twospanish teachers and the addition of the sis-ter school in France.

Fellow faculty member Brian Tsingnalsaid Marcil is a dedicated teacher who hascontributed a great deal to the communitythrough his hard work.

“We are very lucky to have him, he’s real-ly doing great things with the program,” Ts-

ingnal said. The student trip is partially funded by

fundraising efforts by students and corpo-rate sponsorship from area businesses suchas Stewarts, and Price Chopper. But fundingis primarily covered through out of pocketexpenses. Marcil said without the help of the

community, the program could not havebeen as successful.

“We are a teeny tiny school district butwhen it comes to this program we have ahuge amount of family, school, and commu-nity support that reaches out to help,” Mar-cil said.

Dashnaw was found guilty of killing Davidand Lorraine Donivan of Schuyler FallsBy Stephen [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — Clinton County Court Judge PatrickMcGill handed Edward A. Dashnaw, 42, two concurrent lifesentences without the possibility of parole.

This comes after the second trial that resulted in Dashnawbeing found guilty of the 2005 murders of David and Lor-raine Donivan of Schuyler Falls.

David’s cousin, Gary Donivan, sat through both trials andwants to know why Dashnaw killed the couple. He knowsDashnaw continues to declare his innocence, but he wantsto know.

“That was a real brutal crime,” Gary said.On Dec. 29, 2005, David’s remains were discovered

wrapped in a carpet in the basement of his Schuyler Fallshome. Police found Lorraine’s body two days later at thecouple’s nearby furniture store, House of Pine and Oak.

“Little Laurie was stabbed in the back of the neck andshoulder,” said Gary. “She must have been trying to getaway.

“David had 30-some-odd stabbing wounds.”Gary believes his cousin was trying to get to a weapon he

kept in the bedroom.A jury found Dashnaw guilty of the murders in 2007, and

McGill passed down the same sentence, but an appeal grant-ed Dashnaw a new trial.

“I was disgusted we went through this a second time,”Gary said. “The same evidence was produced, and all the ju-rors found him guilty.”

Gary sat through both trials because he and his cousinwere so close. They hunted together, and David took Garyup in his plane.

“David is my first cousin, and we were close,” Gary said.“He is like a brother, and then suddenly he is not there be-cause of that horrendous crime.”

On Oct. 28, a jury convicted Dashnaw of the murders ofDavid and Lorraine for a second time.

Dashnaw was also convicted of two counts of fourth-de-gree larceny, three counts of fifth-degree criminal possessionof stolen property and two counts of second-degree crimi-nal possession of a forged instrument. At the trial, DistrictAttorney Andrew Wylie’s office had outlined how Dashnawstole the Donivans’ 2004 Toyota Tundra and credit cards, us-ing the latter to purchase goods, including Christmas giftsfor his children.

At the sentencing, Wylie asked that Dashnaw never be re-leased from prison and read a letter from Lorraine’s sister,Linda Compoli, that requested the maximum sentence.

Dashnaw continues to deny any involvement in the mur-ders. His counsel, Greg LaDuke, has filed an appeal.

McGill’s retrial sentence was the same as the first, thoughon Monday, Dec. 5, he modified Dashnaw’s sentence, in-creasing prison time on two counts of second-degree crimi-nal possession of a forged instrument. McGill further alteredwhether time served for some counts would be consecutiveor concurrent.

“There’s not much more you could give him,” Gary said.“He’s got the max.”

He knows Dashnaw continues to claim he is innocent, buthe wants to know why.

Edward Dashnaw gets life without parole Saranac votefrom page 1

will decide on Dec. 13, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the MiddleSchool gymnasium.

“To literally tell taxpayers it will have absolutely no impact,that would require a crystal ball,” said Saranac Central SchoolSuperintendent Kenneth Cringle. “But there should be little tono impact on taxpayers.”

State aid will cover 90 percent of the project’s cost. The dis-trict also received a $583,878 EXCEL grant to cover most, if notall of remaining costs.

“Normally that would be left to a local effort, but the EXCELgrant will offset that,” Cringle said.

That means the project would likely have no impact on lo-cal taxes, he said.

The project falls under three major categories: Energy, healthand safety, with a few items for external repair and mainte-nance.

The project includes work in every district building. Specif-ically, replacing aging heating systems, doors and windowsthat in some instances are beyond repair.

“In the past year we have had to have emergency projects toreplace boilers, and that is not as cost effective and efficient,”Cringle said. “Those are items that we have to put in, and wehave to use money from the general fund, and we are not get-ting as much aid, so it is not as cost effective.”

“And even though we were able to replace boilers, the ex-isting heating system is still attached to them and needs to bereplaced so we can properly and efficiently heat the buildings.”

The district further plans to install water filtration systems,replace fire-alarm and phone systems and upgrade bathroomsand doors to comply with the Americans with Disability act.

Other work includes roof repairs at Morrisonville Elemen-tary School, the Middle School and bus garage.

“What we have done in light of the poor economy is we havescaled our project back,” Cringle said.

Saranac voters defeated a $17.5 million project in February2010.

“I think everyone recognizes the importance of maintainingthe facilities,” Cringle said. “In the long run it will be muchbetter for everyone, and we are trying to do this in small steps,addressing immediate areas and limiting it to energy, healthand safety.”

These businesses are an important part of the local economy, providing goods and services that are n ot only as good as those found in big-box retailers, but many times, also offered for the same prices or better. Forget the c ommon misconception shopping at big discount stores is better for your wallet – it’s not always the case. And, just remember, eve ry dollar you spend in your community benefits local shopkeepers, many of whom are your neighbors and friends.

Author basks in his Plattsburgh digsM. Dylan Raskin, known for his cynical,angry writing, appreciates the peacehe has found in the North Country


PLATTSBURGH — M. Dylan Raskin wrote his secondbook while homeless, shacked up in a walk-in closet.

The advance bought him his first house and led to a sortof peacefulness he’s grown accustomed to.

His editor warned against happiness, and Raskin doesn’tknow if he’ll ever publish again. But the author, whose firstmemoir garnered comparisons to “Catcher in the Rye” andwas picked up by a few universities, is fine with that.

“There is a wonderful pleasure with not publishing,” saidthe author of “Little New York Bastard” and “Bandanas &October Supplies.”

“I can write for myself.”Today, he mixes mochas and other coffee beverages at a

local coffee shop and on the road. He’s content, no longergripped by anger, and enjoys the life he’s carved out for him-self in Plattsburgh.

“I think if you spend a lot of time in a place, you are thatplace,” he said. “I was that cynical city for 28 years, and nowI am here and mellow.”

Raskin grew up in Queens, which, along with his father ’sdeath when Raskin was 15, molded his personality.

“I wanted to get out my entire life.”As early as elementary school, he felt the urge to tell sto-

ries but didn’t take it seriously until 20 to 21.Cynical and frustrated, he hated nearly everything and

everyone and ran away to Chicago for a week at 22. Thatjourney birthed “Little New York Bastard,” a coming of agememoir and road story.

“I was a punk kid with a bad attitude, and I thought if Imoved away everything would get better,” Raskin said. “ButI took myself with me.”

When his mother became ill with Ovarian cancer, theystarted spending practically every other weekend in LakeGeorge until her death in 2004.

“We were inseparable,” Raskin said. “We wouldn’t evendo anything, just hang around.”

With no money left to stay in the apartment, and nothingleft for him in Queens, Raskin packed up within a week fora year-long homeless adventure, part of which landed himin the walk-in closet of New Jersey relatives where he wrote“Bandanas & October Supplies.”

The words poured out of him, a story about life, death andthe relationship between a mother and son.

“When that feeling hits, I can’t function unless I am writ-ing,” he said. “The feeling comes and goes, and I haven’t hadit for years.”

He received an advance and wanted to purchase a homein Lake George, but it was too expensive. Raskin “acciden-tally” found a house online in Jay - “A beautiful place in thewoods” - toward the end of 2005.

It reminded Raskin of his mother, though he found it dif-ficult to see from the outside.

“I would try to look at my house and the sun would be inmy eyes, or there were black flies everywhere, or it wascold.”

He remained there, off and on, until he moved permanent-ly to Plattsburgh a little more than a year ago.

He fell in with the right people and began focusing on thepositive, which he said ruined his career.

“I have no desire to write an ‘I am happy book,’” Raskinsaid. “But the truth is, I would rather be happy than have awriting career.”

The thought of elitist “wine-and-cheese parties” makeshim nauseous.

He enjoys answering to no one, and the absence of pres-sure from book deadlines.

Raskin doesn’t know if he’ll publish again, but he’s stillwriting in that voice that pulses through him and onto thepage.

“Right now I am working on something that has to do withgetting prepared for what may be very difficult times in thecountry.”

It’s fueled by a desire to tell, even if it’s not meant to bepublished.

No matter, because he feels lucky these days.He befriended Koffee Kat owner Patty Waldron a little

more than a year ago and began working there. He can befound behind the counter, as well as in Koffee Kat on wheels,a bus he and Waldron purchased for $400 to take on the roadand deliver coffee drinks around Plattsburgh and at events.

“It keeps me hungry.”He’s also got his dog, Esme, a near constant companion he

found in 2006 under his vehicle in Brooklyn.“Considering how I spent my first 28 years, this is a

strange transition,” Raskin said. “Compared to that inner-city hell hole, this is paradise.”

Yet, if not for the school of hard knocks, Raskin doesn’tthink he’d be as content as he is today.

“That anger gave me a career, so I can’t knock it too much.”And he’s not a recluse, as some media outlets have sug-

gested.In fact, Raskin and Esme run nearly every day, time that

allows him to think and work out frustrations.That occasional itch to pack and move remains with

Raskin, but now he considers his commitments and obliga-tions.

He wants Koffee Kat on wheels to succeed, hopes forEsme’s continued health and happiness and is content withsmall-town anonymity.

“People here are impressed by how hard you work, notwith glitz and fame,” Raskin said. “You see the same peopleevery day and don’t get special treatment.

“I’m just another schmuck on the street.”

M. Dyland Raskin doesn’t know if he’ll publish again, and he’s Āne withthat. He’d rather be happy than have a writing career.

“This has been about twoyears of actively doing it,”Castine said. “But we havebeen dreaming about it forsome time.”

About 10 years ago, Castineapproached Dr. George W.Clark about using his physi-can’s office for a library.

He retied several years lat-er and she mentioned it again.When he passed two yearsago, he willed the medical of-fice to the library.

The board immediately mo-bilized and began formingcommittees to start the mov-ing process.

The Clinton, Essex,Franklin Library System wasinvaluable and paved the wayfor the grant-writing process.

“They held my hand,” Cas-tine said.

“We all worked on the de-sign and spent many hours indiscussions and meetings.”

The new building has 3,900-square feet compared to theold location with 1,000 squarefeet.

Phase 2 consists of thedownstairs community room,which will include a kitch-enette, white boards and pro-jectors.

“Even if the library isn’topen, an organization can usethe community room.”

Phase 2 should be complet-ed within a year.

Phase 3 will include exteri-or work, including a gazeboand space for summer booksales and children’s events. Itshould be completed within

two years.The library further includes

an electric fireplace withlounge chairs and an antiquebookcase from Clark’s office.

“He was an eclectic readerand had a very large library ofhis own,” Castine said. “Iknow he’d be happy.”

The ribbon-cutting ceremo-ny is Dec. 10, at 11:45 a.m., andthe grand opening and holi-day reception hosted byFriends of the Library will fol-low through 3 p.m.

The move would not haveoccurred without extensive

fundraising’ personal dona-tions, volunteers and helpfrom groups such as Friendsof the Library.

The library is still seekingdonations to pay for futurework and purchase books.Anyone interested shouldcontact Tina Trombly at 846-7799.

“We are just so happy it isfinally a reality,” Castine said.“It is a joy to see this come to-gether.

“I think this will make peo-ple hungry for books.”

According to the World Meteorological Organiza-tion (WMO), global temperatures for the year of2011, currently rank as the tenth highest since

records were first established in 1850.Scientists, who believe global warming is responsible for

the continuing drop in Arctic sea ice, watched as the icepack reached its lowest recorded levels again this year.Climate change is happening, and it appears to be acceler-ating. Doubters should consider the facts.

Until 2011 is retired to the history books, the top‘Hottest Years on the Planet” occurred in 2010, 1998, 2005,2003, 2002, 2009, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2001.

Our wild weather is also getting windier. Six of the topten wind records have been established since 1998. Thelast ten Spring seasons, spanning the years from 2002-2011were among the windiest and driest 10-year period onrecord, capping a clear upward trend that began in themid-1990s.

While skeptics remains, it is obvious that the climate haschanged. Anyone who spends time outdoors has come torecognize that the weather is getting both warmer, andwetter and windier.

It stands to reason thatwater will evaporate morerapidly as temperaturescontinue to rise, and tem-peratures will increase.This increase in evaporationwill result in greater andmore frequent precipitation.

Fortunately, the majorityof our local precipitationcame as snow last winter,but when it did rain; it camedown in buckets. Eventual-ly, last year ’s snowpackcombined with the heavyspring rains to cause flood-

ing that raised havoc from the High Peaks to Lake Cham-plain, and beyond.

The spring floods of 2011 were responsible for establish-ing new records across the region for both lake and riverlevels. And while the spring floods were labeled as “100year flood” events, heavy rains in the early fall of 2011,soon eclipsed them with a “500 year flood” event. Fortu-nately, the most recent floods were not compounded by adense snowpack. The heavy rains were enough to causesevere damage, all alone.

After reviewing articles that I've written at the comple-tition of the Big Game Hunting Season, since 2000, the an-ecdotal evidence of climate change is painfully obvious.

Despite the effects of climate change, the Adirondack region has man-aged to retain enough snow cover to permit the continuation of mostwinter sports. Unfortunately, the duration the winter season continuesto be condensed, with less snow during the hunting and an abbreviat-ed ice fishing season.

PERU — When the snowpiles and plows barrel throughsending tons of hard wet snowto the same shoulder of theroad your dolphin mailboxused to sit, that crumpled upbox with the utility bill trappedinside could now be the home-owner ’s problem to replace.

In years past, Peru reim-bursed residents if their mail-box was damaged by snowplows. The board may decideto stop doing that.

The town council will meetDec. 12 to discuss whether tocontinue paying to replacemailboxes damaged by plows.

“In years past we’ve re-placed broken mailboxes butit’s costing the town a lot ofmoney,” said Supervisor PeterGlushko.

Town board member Kregg

Bruno said the damages insome years cost the town up to$5,000. Last year, the townspent about $2,500 replacingmangled mail boxes.

In years past, Glushko saidreplacing the boxes wasn’t aproblem, but the rising costs ofutilities and county mainte-nence is forcing the council toexplore cost-saving measures.

“Anything that saves moneyis a good idea for the town, weneed to get together and geteverybody’s ideas and seewhich way we’re going to go.”

Every community is differ-ent in terms of what will bedone for someone whose mail-box is damaged by a town vehi-cle, Peru Deputy SupervisorBrandy McDonald said.

Peru’s policy to reimbursefor damaged property is un-common compared to state andcounty policy, she said.
