His show, “The Hidden Art of Adrian Carr—A Retrospective 1976-2005,” includes about 20 pieces and is open through Mon- day, May 6. It all starts with Carr’s first oil painting, “Farmhouse,” com- pleted in 1976. It’s of his grandmother’s farm in Wilson, a town in western New York. Carr admitted that the hills in the brightly colored painting are a bit exaggerated, but said that is how he saw them. It is in this way that Carr’s surroundings affect his work. In 1977, Carr painted a blizzard in Buffalo. The colors aren’t as bold as they are in “Farmhouse”—instead, its whites are splashed over grays in a lively, twisting fury. And then Carr moved to New York City, and his paintings changed again. It was there that his “Subway Series” was born.

PLATTSBURGH — A  Plattsburgh  Sister  is  being  honored  for reaching across  the hemisphere  to bring hope to people  in Nica-ragua  and  give  people  in  the North  Country  an  opportunity  to change lives. Sister Debbie Blow, a co-founder of the North Country Mission 

of Hope, will be recognized in Albany early next month as a New York State Senate Woman of Distinction.Blow has been nominated by Sen. Betty Little for the recognition 

because of her leadership in organizing a sustained humanitarian mission  to  Nicaragua  that,  since  1998,  has  provided  healthcare to more than 60,000 people, educated hundreds of students, con-structed more than 500 homes, as well as classrooms, a library and community development  center,  and  fed  thousands of malnour-ished children through the Children Feeding Children Program.“Plans  for  the North Country Mission of Hope’s 50th mission 

trip are under way, so this is certainly a fitting time to recognize Sister Debbie  for  her  extraordinary work,” Little  said  in  a  press release.  “Tens of thousands of lives have been transformed for the better due  to her vision and dedication and  the more  than 1,300 volunteers who  have made  numerous  trips  to Nicaragua.    This mission not only has provided Nicaraguans living in poverty criti-cally important tangibles like housing, healthcare and food, but a sense of hope, a remarkable gift.”Blow,  a  Dominican  Sister  of  Hope,  was  a  1971  graduate  of 

Northern Adirondack Central School, and later studied religious and scriptural/theological studies at Providence College, she also attended Trinity College, St. Michael’s College,  and Notre Dame College. Blow co-founded  the mission  in  response  to Hurricane Mitch, 

which killed more than 22,000 people in Central America in 1998.Blow said her  journey to Nicaragua began 13 years before her 

organization’s conception when she was introduced to the Flores family after  they escaped  from social unrest  and hostility  in Ni-caragua. “They arrived here in Plattsburgh because during the 80’s, this 

location  was  a  receiving  area/stop  off  point  for  refugees  from around the world,” said Blow. “They sought refuge here, someone locally told them to approach me to see if I could help their chil-dren and when they did, I said yes of course.  “What I told the mother was 

‘We have no money  either,  but let  us  help  you  now  and  later, you can give back and help oth-ers.’”  Blow  helped  provide  the 

family  with  a  small  apartment that  was  donated  by  a  local landlord, all furniture and beds, food for several weeks, clothing for  the  entire  family,  contacts for employment, and education for their two children.Blow  and  the  Flores  family 

were drawn back  to Nicaragua when  Hurricane  Mitch  devas-tated the country.  “It was  now  a  joint  effort  of 

Yamilette  Flores,  Eve  McGill and me to ‘give back’ and help others in need, especially in the wake of  the  single  longest  sus-tained  category  5  hurricane  on 

record as of 1998,” said Blow. That  year,  52  volunteers  including  healthcare,  construction 

workers,  educators,  other  professionals,  and  youths  traveled  to Nicaragua. When  they got  there, Blow  said  the devastation was unimaginable. “Three months after  the hurricane there were orphanages and 

homes  still  under  water,  and  thousands  of  people  living  under trees — thousands,” said Blow. The Mission  of Hope will  be  going  on  its  50th mission,  Blow 

said she has gone on all of them with the exception of one or two trips. “Some people ask if it would not just be better to send the money 

and not the people. To that I want to say first of all our volunteers pay their own way, all of the money donated to us goes right to the efforts, and secondly  if you keep sending money nothing would happen at home, we needed to change the attitudes of people here and help them see they can make a difference,” said Blow. Blow said the people who have gone to Nicaragua with her have 

kept what they do real at home and that enthusiasm and experi-ence is what has kept the program strong. “On one of our first missions we went into one of the hospitals 

a few days after we promised to come back and paint a wall,” said Blow. “When we got there the hospital director started crying and I asked her why she was crying, she said that a lot of people had come there, made themselves feel better and never came back, but we came back.”  Since the first trip to Nicaragua, Blow said the people who they 

met in the beginning are finding hope. “We  have  more  than  a  dozen  people  employed  with  North 

Country Mission of Hope in Nicaragua,” said Blow. “But there are still hungry people and people in need of help, 

but we have a choice, we can either look at a challenge as some-thing we can’t fix or see it as an opportunity to help those we can.”The New York State Senate Women of Distinction event will be 

held  in  the Legislative Office Building  in Albany on May 7. The annual award honors outstanding women from across New York State for their professional and volunteer work to enrich the lives of others.Blow said though she is very honored to receive recognition as a 

woman of distinction, the recognition is not just for her but every-one involved in the organization. “This gives me an opportunity to thank everyone in the North 

Country for all of their help and hard work, they are the heart of 

the mission and I want to thank you,” said Blow.More can be learned about the North Country Mission of Hope

ELLENBURG — The Gibson Brothers will give a special  live performance  in  support of Ellenburg Senior Housing  residents at 7 p.m. on April 26 at the Northern Adirondack Central School, 5586 Route 11. “This will be a homecoming concert, the band hasn’t played in

the area in a while,” said president to the board of directors for the Ellenburg Senior Housing (ESH), Roman Miner.The performance will be one of the first at Northern Adiron-

dack’s  newly  finished  auditorium which  has  been  under  con-struction for the last few years. The Gibson Brothers are a  fun and  talented bluegrass group 

that took home the 2012 Entertainer of the Year Award at the 23rd annual International Bluegrass Music Awards at Nashville’s Ry-man Auditorium.    The  same  night  the  band won  the  “Gospel Recorded Performance of  the Year”  award  for  “Singing As We Rise.” The group will be previewing their upcoming 2013 release “They Called It Music.”The concert will benefit the two North Country centers oper-

ated by Ellenburg Senior Housing. “We do  a  fundraiser  usually  every  year  to  help  support  the 

centers,” Miner said. The fundraisers have supported the centers’ annual Christmas 

party, Wii machines for each facility and other things to improve the quality of life for residents. “The Wii’s are a great addition for our seniors to use to stay 

active and have some fun and the Christmas parties are nice for everyone  to enjoy,”  said Miner. “The money we raise  is  just  to get a little something more for the people there that isn’t in the facility’s budget.” Tickets  to  the event are $18  for advance  tickets or $20 at  the 

door. Tickets can be purchased at Dick’s Country Store, 7429 U.S. 11  Churubusco; LeBarre’s Store, 5581 State Route 11, Ellenburg Center;  Adirondack  Penny  Saver  in  Plattsburgh  or  by  calling Miner at 293-7292.

PLATTSBURGH — For  some  people,  baseball  and  other sports are not just a way of life but a reason to live. The SUNY Plattsburgh baseball team will be combining its love of the game with the conviction to save lives in honor of former team mem-ber Brian Mehan.The baseball team will host ‘Brian  Mehan Be The Match Day‘ 

on Tuesday, April 30. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. the team will be col-lecting swabs for bone marrow matching in the Cardinal Lounge and before the game there will also be a swabbing station set up at the Lefty Wilson Field on Bailey Ave from 6 to 7:30 p.m.  before the  team plays SUNY Canton that evening. “It seems right to have the game there, it’s where we played 

against each other in high school and we played together in col-lege,”  said  former  teammate  Joey  Painter.  Mehan  played  for Plattsburgh High School and Painter played for Au Sable Valley before they played for PSU. 

Organ donor testingPeople can get tested for free during the day at campus or at 

the  baseball  field. Those  tested will  also  be put  into  the  organ donor registry. PSU baseball coach Kris Doorey said the Be the Match personnel will take a cotton swab and scrape along the in-side of the mouth and from that they’ll be able to tell if the person is a match for someone, he said it is easy and painless.Doorey  said  the  event  is  not  just  the  last  home game of  the 

season but most importantly it is an opportunity to remember a former player who succumbed to leukemia in 2008. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood cells. It starts in the bone marrow, the soft tissue inside most bones. Bone marrow is where blood cells are made. When someone suffers from leukemia, the bone marrow starts  to make  a  lot  of  abnormal white  blood  cells,  called  leu-kemia cells. The cells don’t do the work of normal white blood cells, grow faster than normal cells, and they don’t stop growing when they should.Doorey said when he first met Mehan he was a “top recruit” 

for the team as a catcher and a first baseman. “He was strong and a great player, we were really looking for-

ward to having him take the field,” said Doorey. During Mehan’s sophomore season, Doorey said Mehan was 

always tired and the doctors couldn’t find a reason for  it, until one test came back confirming he had leukemia. “He underwent  treatment  for  a  year  and  then wanted  to  be 

back on the field for the spring 2007 season, he was really ready to come back, he practiced with us all fall,” said Doorey. “Then he came to my office one day and said ‘coach we’ve got to talk’ and he told me they found more cancer.” Mehan  went  through  more  treatments,  chemotherapy  and 

went  into  surgery  to  have  a  bone marrow  transplant  at  Dart-mouth Medical Center.“They were going in, but when they opened him up they saw 

he had even more cancer than they thought,” Doorey said. “They stitched him back up and they brought him home and I got  to spend a whole day with him at his home here.” Doorey said Mehan died on March 2, 2008, a few days before 

his birthday. Mehan would have been 20 years old. “He was young, too young,” said Doorey. “It really puts every-

thing into perspective, especially puts baseball into perspective. “As a coach sometimes you get a little crazy or your expecta-

tions of players can get a little crazy. We put so much emphasis on winning,” said Doorey. “But at the end of the game our play-ers are still alive and it’s just a baseball game, we need to just go out and do our best. This has changed the way I look at things for sure.” 

Countless lives savedLast  year  Doorey  and  Painter  along with  the  baseball  team 

held the first swab in May 2012. The event generated more than 200 possible donor submissions. 

About three months after testing at the game, Painter got the call from Be the Match that he was a possible match for someone. “I  think  this  person  could  possibly  have  been waiting  for  a 

while for someone to be a match and I was fortunate enough to be a part of that,” said Painter. “They told me this man’s cancer could have spread while he waited for a donor.“It’s  not  that  I’m  noble,  I  just  signed  up  and my  body was 

healthy enough for the transplant. I’m just lucky and proud to be able to say I did it.”Painter  said  a  donor must  be  a  99.9  percent  genetic  match, 

which  is  one  reason  it’s  often  difficult  to match  those  in  need with a donor. Painter  said his  role as a donor was harder  than he  thought 

it  would  be  in  the  beginning.  Before  he went  into  surgery  he needed  to  have  a  “head  to  toe  physical”  to make  sure  he was healthy enough to do the transplant. In October he went through a four-hour procedure and spent two days in the hospital during his bone marrow retrieval where they put needles into his pelvis, leaving him with small scars on his back, in order to retrieve the marrow.   After undergoing surgery, Painter was called back  to donate plasma on April 15 in Boston.  His role as a donor showed him how fortunate he was to be healthy and give the gift of life to a stranger. “It’s a small sacrifice for me, I don’t have cancer and I don’t 

know anyone who can say  their  lives haven’t been affected by cancer,” said Painter. Through Be the Match, Painter said all medical expenses were 

handled  by  the  non-profit  which  can  include  travel,  lodging, food and other expenses for donors who must travel to receive treatments. “Be  the  Match  compensates  100  percent,”  said  Painter.  “It 

doesn’t matter  if you have  insurance or you don’t  they handle it.” Be the Match couldn’t tell Painter much about the person who 

he donated his bone marrow to. Though  they were able  to  tell him it was a male about 48 years old and from a card he received later  he  learned  the  man  also had been married  for 25 years and had two children. A  year  after  the  transplant, 

donors  and  transplant  recipi-ents  with  Be  the  Match  can have  the  opportunity  to  meet or speak. Painter said he hopes to take advantage of the oppor-tunity. 

“We  encourage  everyone  to  come out  and get  tested,  it’s  an opportunity  to  save  someone’s  life,  if  you’re  on  the  other  side you’re always hoping someone will step up, this is their oppor-tunity to potentially save a life,” said Doorey. For more information about the event or to learn more about 

how  to become a donor  contact Doorey at Plattsburgh State at 564-2000.

Before Listing Your Home For SaleClinton County - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifi es the eleven most common problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identifi ed and dealt with, any of these 11 Items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home.

In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you are looking for, and knowing what your looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help home sellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report, call 1-800-282-1097 and enter ID#6003. You can call any time, 24/7. Call NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

In 1990, Colorado held a  statewide  refer-endum  to  legalize  limited  stakes  gam-bling  in  three  struggling  mining  towns 

that were on the verge of ceasing to exist.The towns of Black Hawk, Central City and 

Cripple Creek played a huge role in the boom-town gold rush of the mid-1800s, but when the gold  ran dry  these once bustling  communities became ghost towns.Faced with a dwindling population, deterio-

rating  infrastructure  and  disintegrating  archi-tecture, officials in the towns banded together to lobby for gaming in their commercial districts, and the idea was put before Colorado voters.The  measure  passed  overwhelmingly,  and 

investors  began  renovating  historic  structures for use as casinos. Beginning with opening day on  October  1,  1991,  gaming  proved  spectacu-larly successful in attracting new investment in amounts unheard of since the gold boom more than a century before.Today,  the  same  argument  of  dwindling 

population  and  deteriorating  infrastructure could  be  made  for  many  Adirondack  towns. Data  released  in 2009 by  the Adirondack Park Regional  Assessment  Project  (APRAP)  clearly demonstrate that.Student enrollment  in our  schools  is  evapo-

rating,  leading  to  fewer  opportunities  for  our kids  and  our  year-round  population  is  aging. Dilapidated  empty  storefronts  line  our  Main Streets.Towns  like  Newcomb,  Port  Henry  and 

Tupper  Lake  that  once  thrived  from  logging and mining now seem to be headed the way of Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek.Casino  gambling  would  without  a  doubt 

stop that  trend,  just as  it did in Colorado, and would be a badly needed source of revenue for the  state, hopefully  leading  to  less  reliance on things like the local property tax.In Colorado, gaming pumps more than $100 

million into the state’s economy each year. That money  is  used  for  everything  from  roads  and transportation  to  infrastructure  improvements to tourism promotion to historic preservation.Colorado’s  gaming  industry  also  provides 

more  than  27,000  direct  and  indirect  jobs  to its  citizens and offers above-average wages — 

something  as  scarce  in  the  Adirondacks  as  a 4-year-old car without rust.In  addition,  casino  employees  in  Colorado 

receive  competitive  fringe  benefits  like  tuition reimbursement,  transportation  and  meals,  re-tirement  and  pension  plans,  health  and  life insurance, and exceptional promotional oppor-tunities.In other words, the very benefits our college 

graduates are leaving the area in search of.Certainly the argument can be made that ca-

sinos would forever alter the quality of life that makes the Adirondacks the special place it is.But  through  progressive  planning  —  like 

forcing casinos into commercial districts, limit-ing stakes and establishing set closing times — casino gambling could be as good a fit here as it proved to be in Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek.The casino building proposal in New York is 

expected to come to a head later this year when Gov. Andrew Cuomo divulges up to seven po-tential casino locations.The  state  legislature  has  already  passed  a 

constitutional  amendment  approving  the  new casinos.  It must be passed again  this year and then,  like  Colorado,  must  be  approved  in  a statewide  voter  referendum  before  becoming law.Anticipating approval some towns, like Port 

Henry, North Hudson  and Lake George,  have already tossed their hats in the ring for consid-eration to become host  to one of  the new casi-nos.Potential  locations  such  as  Frontier  Town, 

located  at  Exit  29  of  the  Northway  in  North Hudson;  Roaring  Brook  Ranch  off  Exit  21  of the Northway  in Lake George  and  the  former Lowe’s  Home  Improvement  Center  in  down-town Ticonderoga have emerged.When  it  comes  down  to  decision-making 

time, let’s hope the governor bases his decision on need rather than greed.If  so —  and  there  is  no  conflict  with  exist-

ing Native American  casinos —  than no other region of  the  state would benefit more  from a gaming operation than the Adirondacks. 

—Denton Editorial Board

TheneedforgamingintheAdirondacksislarge While  the  events 

of last week con-tinue to unfold it 

reminds us how fragile  life  is and how quickly our lives can be turned upside down in the mere blink of eye. While  the  nation  was  fix-

ated by the shocking terrorist event in Boston, the good peo-ple in West Texas were literal-ly blown away when a fire at a fertilizer plant  caused a mas-sive explosion killing as many as 60 and injuring nearly 200.When  the  Cold War  ended  and  the  Iron 

Curtain  was  torn  down,  we  thought  and hoped the world was moving toward a more peaceful existence. Nations could focus more on improving the living conditions for its citi-zens. Ever-developing technological advanc-es would help us  realize  that with  a  global economy,  war  was  something  the  world could do without. We envisioned the spread of democracy and capitalism throughout the world.  Other  nations  were  hungry  for  the lifestyle we enjoyed in the United States.Unfortunately,  the world has not gone  in 

that  direction;  instead,  it  has  become  even more  dangerous  than  before.  The  events of  the  last  week,  the  threats  coming  out  of North  Korea,  the  recent  ricin  letters  show-ing up  at  the  capital  and  the White House, and the rash of gun violence have once again proven the depth of our vulnerability. We are perhaps more despised both by people who feel  entitled  to  our  continued  financial  and military  support  and  by  Jihadists/revolu-tionaries who see our freedom as grand op-portunities  to  humble  the nation  and break our spirit. Regardless of the source of the threat, life 

is  fragile. Life-changing events  can  come  in the form of a national  tragedy, but they can also  occur  in  a  private  conversation  with your doctor, a slip on the ice or an unintend-ed auto accident. Life, as they say, can sneak up on you when you least expect it. None of us can live our lives in a bubble. We can’t be so fearful  that  the  joy of  life  is reduced to a whimper. We  can,  however,  choose  to  conduct  our 

lives  with  a  greater  focus  on the life itself. How we respect ourselves  and  appreciate  the contribution  of  each  other  to the world we share. We  can  never  eliminate 

threats,  but we  can  recognize ways to make the most of the time  we  spend  on  this  Earth and the way we embrace those around us.Anyone  who  has  faced  a 

major crisis or lost a loved one unexpectedly knows you can’t get  back  the  time  you  may 

have  foolishly  let  slip  away.  The  lesson we must take away from these events is simple; be on guard, but never fail to appreciate ev-ery  day  you  and  your  loved  ones  have  to-gether. This world — while full of wonder, beauty 

and  exciting  times  —  is  also  fraught  with danger. Danger lurks in every corner, and no one is immune but it is balanced by the gifts each of us is given. Seriously injured Boston marathoners who may have  loved  running, and  realize  they  may  have  lost  a  limb,  are nonetheless  grateful  just  to  be  alive.  First responders  in  Texas  who  may  have  lost  a fellow  responder  in  the  tragedy, will,  along with other brave  responders  in  the near  fu-ture,  charge  into  another  life-threatening event knowing what’s at risk  in an effort  to save  lives.  They  do  so  out  of  love  for  their fellow man.That  love  and  commitment  to  each  other 

is always showcased during trying times like these.  We  must  all  remember  how  we  feel during these events and do our best to keep that feeling ever present as we go about our daily lives and not just when we are person-ally affected. The journey of life is an ever-learning and 

evolving  experience  as  we  cope  with  joy, tragedy, defeat and success. In the end, how we choose to deal with and accept these life-altering events is what provides the promise for tomorrow and future generations.

Two gems in downtown Plattsburgh are Cache Elegant and  owner,  Barbara Hugus. A  cache  is  a  hidden  stor-age of treasures, and that is what Barbara has - a world 

of well-designed beauty. Barbara describes her shop, Cache` El-egant, as “a boutique of Apparel, Accessories, Gifts and Home Decor at consignment prices.”  The first element of believing that the shop will transform you 

is  the  artistry displayed  and  changed weekly  in  the windows. Barbara  combines  clothes, home décor and art  into a beautiful tapestry of color. Barbara has resurrected the lost art of window shopping!One  of  her  customers  describes  the  shop  as,  “Sophisticated 

with color and balance, Cache Elegant  is for people with taste, whether  it’s modern, country, or vintage  -  it appeals  to  the so-phisticated  consumer; whatever  period  they  admire.”  To us  at style &  substance,  sophisticated  is not  snobby or  intimidating; rather,  sophisticated simply means attention  to beauty and ad-miring the small details that makes something spectacular.We  regularly  stop  into Cache Elegant,  and  are  always  bril-

liantly  overwhelmed  by  Barbara’s  style  throughout  the  shop. We would add, “hip, classic, eclectic, shabby chic, something for everyone”. It is an experience in color, arrangement and beauty. Barbara’s knowledge, enthusiasm and  friendly approachability make  the  shopping  experience  a  series  of  “ooohs”  and  “aaah-

hhs”.    Her  “cache”  is  arranged  to  inspire  her  customers  into redecorating,  restyling,  starting a project or finding  their “con-versation piece”. Some  real hits we  saw  this past week were a small counter top butcher block which is perfect for the appetizer portion of your entertaining and a ‘to die for’ wrought iron and glass  coffee  table…with prices  that  are  steals. And  this  spring, making your outdoor space inviting and attractive is easy with Cache Elegant!The  clothing  is  carefully  hand  chosen  from  Barbara’s  con-

signers, and each piece would be considered a “one of a kind”, boutique-type buy. The sophisticated shopper knows style is not about price, it is about confidence and individuality, and dress-ing like this everyday is important! Shop for all that is hip, ele-gant, and sophisticated, right in downtown Plattsburgh. Barbara invites customers to “browse and get to know my merchandise at your own pace.” After-hours personal shopping appointments or at home visits are available by request – New York City ser-vices right here in our beautiful downtown!Becoming a consignment customer is a perfect way to update

LetterstotheEditor

MisconceptionoverSafeActTo the North Countryman:I would like to thank Mr. Sam Huntington from Dresden for 

his  letter  questioning  a  statement  I made  in my March  30  let-ter  to Denton  Publications.  “As  chief  law  enforcement  officers (C.L.E.O), I believe sheriffs have the constitutional authority to stop all enforcement of the Safe Act and like regulations within their respective counties where constitutional issues are in ques-tion.” When they take their oath of office, it is not just a formal-ity, it is a constitutional requirement. ART VI, sec. 3, “All elected representatives and all officers and administrators of both the US and  the  individual  states  shall  take an oath or affirmation  that the shall support this constitution.” Sheriffs, as constitutional of-ficers, must protect our constitutional rights.From  the National  Center  for  Constitutional  Studies, Wash-

ington,  D.C.,  “The  Citizens  Rule  Book,”  and  the  “Making  of America,” I quote: “The general misconception is that any stat-ute passed by legislatures bearing the appearance of the law con-stitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of  the  land, and any statute,  to be valid, must be  in agree-ment. It is impossible for a law which violates the constitution to be valid. This is succinctly stated as follows:1. “All  laws which are repugnant to the constitution are null 

and void.” (Marbury US Madison, 5 US [2 Cranch], 137,174,176 [1803]) 2. “Where rights secured by the constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them.” (Miranda vs. Arizona, 384 US 436, p. 491) 3. “An uncon-stitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no du-ties; affords no protections; it creates no office; it is in legal con-templation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” (Norton vs. Shelby Co. 118 US 425, p. 442) 4. “The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of  law,  is  in  reality no  law, but  is wholly void, and  inef-fective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of the deci-sion so branding it” (Citizens Rule Book). “No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it” (Vol. 16 American Jurisprudence, 2nd ed., p. 177, late 2nd ed., p.  256).  5. William Pitt,  a  British  Statesman  said,  “Necessity  is the plea for every infringement of  liberty;  it  is the argument of tyrants;  it  is  the  creed  of  slaves.” Those  in power  today plead “Necessity” when they say: “Don’t let a good crisis go to waste” (e.g.,  the horrible Sandy Hook incident  is  their “Necessity”). 6. Archibald Maclaine, a ratifier of the US Constitution from North Carolina,  in  showing  original  intent,  said,  “No  officer  will  be bound by his oath to support any act that would violate the prin-ciples of the Constitution.”The constitution was written simply and clearly so that even 

those with limited education could understand it. It seems clear to me  that  the  constitution  requires  an  affirmation  of  support by  not  only  sheriffs  but  all  law  enforcement  officers  and  state and  local  officials  including  prosecuting  attorneys. A  law  that obviously infringes (interferes, violates, encroaches, exceeds, in-trudes,  cancels,  restricts,  conflicts,  dilutes,  etc.)  on  one’s  rights should be vigorously opposed.More food for thought: A Colorado undersheriff recently asked 

a class of Colorado state troopers if they would have any objec-tions to going into homes and confiscating firearms. Why would this question even be asked if it wasn’t their intent to do so?May God bless and keep us all safe.

Twowrongsdon’tmakearightTo the North Countryman: This  is  to  inform you  that  it  seems  offensive  and  contradic-

tory regarding your article on “Rock Against Rape” in the April 6 issue.This  article  promotes  Planned  Parenthood  for  its  activity 

against  rape.  These  same  people who  claim  objection  to  rape, would at the same time, be helpful to murder the product of rape. We all know the adage; “Two wrongs don’t make a right.”

CigarettebuttsmostlitterUSTo the North Countryman:Most people probably know about  the health concerns relat-

ed  to smoking, but  they may not know that cigarette butts are the most  littered item in the nation, and they’re more than  just an eye sore. This toxic litter is mostly made of plastic and does NOT biodegrade when thrown on the ground, putting wildlife in danger and wreaking havoc on U.S. waterways, parks, beaches and roadways. Additionally, cigarette butts contain toxic chemi-cals that can leach into soil, and chemicals that are poisonous to wildlife and could contaminate water sources. They can be very costly to local communities in terms of clean up and disposal.On Earth Day, April 22nd, more  than a billion people  in 180 

countries around the world will commit to making the world a better place through environmental protection. In light of Earth Day, the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, and the coun-try’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to tobacco control, The Legacy Foundation, have joined forces on the website www.rethinkbutts.org to raise awareness about the effects of cigarette butt litter on the environment. Earth Day is a day to celebrate the planet and for everyone to 

make a  commitment  to do  their best  to protect  it. Whether  it’s through recycling, planting a tree, driving less, or making sure that cigarette butts end up extinguished and in the trash and not in the places we live, work, and play. Consider making a commit-ment to the planet this Earth Day, I know I will.

PowerlesswithoutgunsTo the North Countryman: The reason the Times of Ti editorial can be appreciated as a fine 

editorial is that the words themselves appearing in the March 16, 2013 edition give us a good understanding of the issue. In this article you said “what Essex County has done is exactly 

what opponents of the law have been slamming the state for not doing, taking their time and getting feedback from their constitu-ents on how to address the matter.” Our  great  respect  for  common  sense  and  keen  observation 

may unite those of us in the North Country as Washington Essex. Meanwhile an unusual similarity does exist with the quick act-

ing members of the New York State legislative on the one hand and  the machine-like precision of  the  rhythmic  robots  that  are goose-stepping in North Korea on the other hand. The machine-like legislators are simply robots as they vote without the slight-est attempt to be responsible representatives of  the people that elected them in the first place. Almost everyday these strutting and goose-stepping legislators appear on the TV, but fortunately we can replace them in the next election.Replacement is necessary because never beore has sensational-

ism been used for such diabolical political advantage as is now the case. I speak as a republican who can say most of my closest and trusted friends are registered democrats. The real and important issue is gun power and not gun control. 

The vacant, possibly diseased and certainly animal-like mind in human form of the perpetrator of the Newtown tragedy is rarely mentioned. Instead, sensationalism appears to be the method of all politicians alike- Democrats and Republicans. 

Power of the people is part of gun power and without guns we are powerless. Those that propose gun control want to make us useless, but uselessness  is  the most the legislators ever achieve for themselves. Uselessness is the case also with 900 million peasants in China 

and no one is allowed to rise above the peasant level to any level of  importance or  they will  be  crushed. The  execution of many young men and women of Tiananmen Square has proved  this. Uselessness will also be the case with all of us here in America is we allow comprehensive universal background checks.

The pieces in that series have a dusty, grimy appearance. There is a feeling of movement to them and a soft, geometric monotony expressed in tarnished watercolor whites and incomplete blacks.“When I went to New York (City), everything changed. Your 

whole vision changes when you hit New York City,” Carr said.Carr’s surroundings certainly illicit a distinct response, as do 

events in his life.“You  don’t  put  brush  to  canvass  unless  something  inspires 

you,” Carr said.Perhaps most striking  is “Black Squares,” a piece  that  repre-

sents Carr’s reaction to the World Trade Center bombings.A painting so large it spans two canvasses, Black Squares is as 

abstract as any of Carr’s other pieces, but what comes through clearly is something intangible.“You can see movement and the passion of the strokes, which 

has a lot to do with the emotional experience of 9/11,” Carr said. “The  broken  squares  are  like the broken pieces of the build-ings.”Those  broken  squares  are 

black,  uneven  and  painted against  an  intense  earth-tone backdrop.Beneath  the  squares  there 

are broken pieces, above  them there  is  a  series  of  smaller squares, bright and bleeding.In 2005, Carr left the city and 

moved north  —far north—to be with his wife in Montreal.He met  her  at  the  trailhead 

to  Rocky  Peak  Ridge,  the  last High Peak he needed to climb to become an Adirondack 46er.The soon-to-be couple got to 

talking;  he  warned  her  about an  impending  rainstorm  and they  exchanged  cards  before parting ways. Carr  visited Montreal  soon 

after that, and contacted her. In 2004, they were married.And  once  again,  his  paint-

ings changed.His  marriage  inspired  an-

other  two-part  painting,  “He Said,  She  Said,”  Carr’s  inter-pretation on  the need  for,  and diffi culties  of,  communication in a marriage.Carr’s most recent work is a 

series  called  “Spiri-tual  Light,”  and  is the  result  of  his  life in the North Country.“I  think  that  the 

different  geographi-cal  locations  impact on  your  psyche,” Carr  said.  “They bring different things out  that you want  to explore.”Unlike  his  previ-

ous work,  the pieces in  “Spiritual  Light” were  done  using charcoal on paper.The images depict a brightness that seems to emanate, or per-

haps rise, from a darkness and are balanced by black lines drawn elsewhere on the otherwise white canvass.Carr said that showing his work helps him see it from different 

perspectives, something he said he has enjoyed. “It’s  like  looking  at  your  life  from  a  new  angle,”  Carr  said. 

“ROTA Gallery is such a great space because they’re giving peo-ple like me, and everybody, a chance to do something that might otherwise have never been done.”At the opening reception of his show, Carr mingled with gal-

lery-goers and announced that he was raising money to record a new CD.Shifting gears from the medium of expression hung on the gal-

lery’s walls, Carr, who studied at Juilliard School in NYC and has performed in Carnegie Hall, sat behind a keyboard and played two short sets of music from his previous recordings.“I’ve been doing art all my life,” Carr said. “I really wanted to 

share something with the people of Plattsburgh who have been so kind to me.” When he isn’t painting, Carr lectures at Plattsburgh State and 

teaches piano at the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts.To hear Carr’s music, or to donate money to help fund his up-

ROUSES POINT — The Adirondack Comedy Club will pres-ent a mostly female show titled “Giggles for Girls” to support the Girl Scouts in Champlain/Mooers.

The show will begin at 8 p.m. on April 27 at the Rouses Point American Legion, 29 Pratt Street. Performances will include Adirondack Comedy Club organiz-

er Ray Wayman, with special appearance by comedian Carmen Lagala, Autumn Engroff Spencer and headliner Kit Rivers, who promise to give the girlish giggles in their original sets. Wayman  has produced several comedy shows at the Ameri-

can Legion.  The upcoming fundraiser will help raise money for the troop to go to New York City at the end of the year. Wayman said they have been doing fundraisers since the fall of last year.  “The show is called ‘Giggles for Girls.’  I think it’ll be more fun 

than a spaghetti feed and a whole lot less messy,” said Wayman. “At least no one will get stains on their blouse, unless they spill a beer!”The comedy show will offer people in Rouses Point a chance 

to hear top comedians and enjoy a show close to home, Wayman said.“This will be  the  fourth  comedy  show  that  I have produced 

at the American Legion and they always have a good turnout,” said Wayman. “It’s a fundraiser that is fun and a whole lot less boring than a craft fair, spaghetti feed, bake sale or shaking down grandma’s couch for spare nickels.”The show will feature an array of acts and a plethora of materi-

al. Wayman, a native of Rouses Point, has performed throughout Vermont and the Adirondacks.  He uses his observational skills to make light of the crazy world he lives in and shares his twisted perspective with his audience. Lagala is a native Vermonter and UVM graduate. In addition 

to  managing  LEVITY,  Vermont’s  only  comedy  club,  Carmen 

performs  comedy  all  over  the state,  but  still  does  laundry  at her mom’s house.Autumn Engroff Spencer has 

performed  in  various  venues in  and  around Vermont.  Spen-cer lives in Burlington with her husband,  children,  and  more cats than she cares to admit.Headliner, Rivers, will bring 

her plucky brand of comedy ad improv  comedy  to  the  stage. The  Evansville,  Indiana  native will  bring  some  spoken  word humor and sometimes raunchy humor  for  the  community  to enjoy. Rivers recently open for Da-

vid  Koechner  from  the  movie Anchorman,  was  a  fi nalist  at the Higher Ground Comedy Battle, and competed in New Eng-land’s Funniest Comic competition.  Rivers is currently studying theatre at Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, VT and performs stand up in and around the Burlington area. Tickets are $10 at the door.   Doors open at 7:30 and the show 

is at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at https://adiron-dackcomedyclub.ticketbud.com/rpvalentine or at the American Legion.For more information contact Wayman at 420-3625.

Most  rivers  and  streams  are  still  running high,  with  water  temperatures  about  av-erage  for  the  season.    Most  of  the  ponds 

will  have  shed  their  ice  cover  by  the weekend  but  wa-ter  temperatures will only be  in  the mid 30’s.   As water temperatures  increase,  fi sh  should  become more  active.The  smaller,  shallower  ponds will  be  producing  fi rst, 

although water temperatures will need to warm up some before the deeper ponds and lakes turn on. Lake trout and salmon will be the fi rst fi sh to be active, 

while brook trout will take a bit longer.  However, it will only take a change of a few degrees in water temperatures to turn them on.The annual smelt run appears to be on track following 

the Full Moon, which is set to occur on Friday, April 25. Following  the  full moon,  trout  and  salmon will  begin 

feeding actively in and around the inlets and tributaries of the lakes and ponds for the next week or so.        Stocking  trucks  have  not  yet  delivered many  trout  to 

area’s streams and rivers, and in the smaller streams and mountain brooks, native brook trout are still in their win-ter mode. Trout will be slow to react to offerings, and likely shel-

tered among the rocks and under the overhanging trees.  On  the  rivers,  anglers will  fi nd  the  best  action  in  the 

deeper pools or at the base of falls or dams, where air tem-peratures will have a greater effect on water temperatures.Think like a fi sh, and look around, be observant and see 

what’s going on.   Are  there fl ies  in  the air, or  schools of minnows in the shallows?   On the streams, seek out areas that provide both food and shelter, and you’ll fi nd the fi sh.As a result of the fl oods, many local rivers and streams 

are still  chocked with  large accumulations of debris and logjams.   These are excellent holding areas for trout, but be careful of your footing.Go  where  the  people  aren’t!    Large  fi sh  are  easily 

spooked, so try to maintain a low profi le to avoid spook-ing the fi sh.  Watch your shadows, and be careful of dis-turbing rocks or downed trees in or near the water.  Fish will pick up on the vibrations and spook easily. If  you  do  spook  them,  rest  the  pool  and  try  again  in 

about  20  minutes,  fi sh  have  short  memories.    On  the ponds,  avoid  banging  or  bouncing  around  in  the  boat/canoe, minimize oar splash and be sure to wear your PFD; it’s now the law.Always  cast  to  a  pool  from  further 

away  then  you  think  is  necessary,  and try to be accurate.  There is nothing more frustrating  than  getting  hung up  on  the fi rst  cast  and  ruining  a  potentially  pro-ductive area.When retrieving a fl y or lure, vary the 

retrieve and change the speed and depth.  Twitch  the  offering,  to  give  it  an  erratic motion.  If it isn’t working, change lures.  Experiment, and fi gure out a way to trig-ger their strike response.Most  of  all,  take your  time,  relax  and 

have some fun, fi shing is not supposed to be a chore. It is not intended to be a con-test  between  anyone  but  the  angler  and the fi sh.  And be sure to take a friend, or a kid along with you.  Angling adventures are  more  enjoyable  if  they  are  shared, and  the stories are more  likely  to be be-lievable.                 

Go take a hike, just for the health of itA  recent  study  conducted  at  the Uni-

versity  of  Pittsburgh  concludes  that walking  isn’t  just  good  for  your  waist-line, it actually has benefi ts that can help your  memory,  as  well.  Researchers  fol-lowed nearly 300 participants  for over a decade and concluded that walking six to nine miles a week may actually stop your brain from shrinking as you age. According  to  the  study’s  author  Kirk 

Erickson, “Exercise  increases  the amount of blood going to the brain,” which means, “that more of  the  important nutrients necessary  for  the brain  to  function  are distrib-uted.”Researchers  discovered  the  more  often  participants 

walked,  the more memory they retained, and those who most  had  about  half  as much  risk  of  suffering memory problems as those who walked the least.Humans can expect to lose memory as they age.  It is a 

normal  function of aging.   However,  research has deter-mined that increased exercise also helps improve the por-tions of the brain that support memory function.According to the researchers, the earlier you begin ex-

ercising, the better.  “But it’s never too late!” according to researchers, “any amount of exercise you do will help.”It is interesting to note that the loss of short term mem-

ory has also been linked to stress and fatigue.It has been well established that time spent in nature, or 

even viewing natural scenes has a soothing and therapeu-tic affect on human.Our senses are exercised and enlivened in natural set-

tings, where we can feel the breeze, smell the air and hear the wind and the water.The infl uences of fl owing waters, air quality, mountains 

and other landscape features of our region contain a set-ting that is particularly restorative.  Not only has it proven to be physically benefi cial,  it has also contributed  to  the spirit of our visitors.The  region has  long  been  recognized  for  its  ability  to 

help recharge the human battery, reduce fatigue and pro-vide a greater mental clarity and physical vigor.Often, it takes only a simple walk in the woods to boost 

circulation and clear your senses.The  fact  that we  are more  alive  and  at  ease  in nature 

should come as no surprise,  afterall human beings have spent  99  percent  of  their  evolutionary  time  as  hunter, gathers. As  a nomadic  society, we were  indelibly  linked to the  land. It should come as no surprise that when we return to it, we are more natural and at ease.  It is afterall, a key component of our heredity.

TheTroutWhere-Abouts GirlsongrassThe  cold  weather  has  kept  the 

stream  temperatures  down  so my  trout  fi shing  hasn’t  been 

very good.   Not one  to waste  any  time though, I’m trying to cut and split some fi rewood  to  get  ahead  of  the  curve. Working  out  by  my  pasture,  I  get  to see  the  slow  changes  in  the  green  up of  the  vegetation.  I  see  the  brown dor-mant grasses slowly turning   green, and young clover plants coming to life.  As a grazing specialist, this gets me psyched up!  I  see  the  leaves  of  the  grass  plant reaching out and grabbing all  that sun-light; photosynthesis underway.For  grazing  farmers  who  raise  beef 

and dairy cows, it’s a good sign. Soon grazing season will be here and the cows will be going out to pasture! The cows are happy. They get out of the barn and out on green grass. The farmer is even happier. The animals get to go outside, barn chores are reduced, manure is getting spread by the cows instead of the spreader and feed is not being hauled into the barn; freedom of a sort. Now it’s time for fi eld chores!Over the last 25 years grazing management has taken hold in this area. 

Numerous dairy and beef operations have discovered  rotational grazing management as a way to raise their animals. Rotational grazing is not just opening the barn door and letting the cows run rampant on a  large pas-ture  fi eld  and  selecting what  they want  and  leaving  the  rest.  Rotational grazing is an organized system where animals are moved to a new small pasture, called a paddock on a daily basis.Grasses  are  grazed 

when they reach a height of  about  8  inches  and grazed  down  to  about  4 inches  in  height.  The  4 inches  that  are  fed  are  of a high quality, and the re-maining  4  inches  of  leaf, are  long enough  to allow the solar collecting leaves to capture the sun’s ener-gy and turn it into chemi-cal energy. This allows the plant  to grow and thrive, in addition  to  storing energy  in  the  roots.  If  the plant  is grazed  too  low, the leaf is very small, and photosynthesis takes much longer. The growing point for the plant must start from the base of the plant and energy is taken from the roots robbing the plant of energy and increasing the time it takes to get the leaf growth back to 8 inches. The species of grasses growing in the pasture  can actually be manipulated by grazing management. When you graze close to the ground, tight like horses do, this leads to more blue-grass, and less pasture tonnage production per acre. If you allow more time between grazing cycles and maintain a proper grazing height of 4 inches or more, you can have clover and orchard grass, and other species, which fa-vor a longer rest period. With intensive management, overall pasture ton-nage is increased meaning less pasture acres are needed. This means there could be more acreage available for other crops, like hay, annual crops such as corn or even grains.  I would recommend having additional hay acres available.  The fi nicky way the weather is acting now days, you may need the additional hay acres for grazing when things get dry, or to feed out to supplement the dry pasture times. Worst case would be that you have ad-ditional hay acres and that has never been a problem for a farmer. Having surplus hay for sale is always good!By moving dairy cows daily, the bovines get fresh actively growing grass 

and clovers  in  their diet. The high protein  feed  from pasture along with hay and grain fed in the barn makes a balanced ration that helps keep milk production costs down. Beef operations depending on the level of manage-ment intensity, may move the cows every day or up to every 2 or 3 days. The overall goal of rotational grazing management is to get quality feed to help the young growing animals gain about 2 lbs. per day if the pasture is managed properly.Quality feed gets quality animals, and animal products such as milk and 

meat.Other benefi ts to the farmer include:• Nutrient rich manure is spread directly on actively growing grass by 

the best possible means; direct deposit! This reduces labor costs. •  Fuel  costs  associated with manure  spreading  and barn  cleaning  are 

reduced.• Electricity costs associated with barn and gutter cleaning are lessened.In many  cases milk production  increases depending on  the quality  of 

stored feed.  In other cases milk production may drop, but overall profi t-ability increases, depending on management.For  the  average  Joe  or  Jane  trying  to make  a  living,  there  are  numer-

ous benefi ts. Some of  these  include reduced nutrient runoff and  less soil erosion. The  soil  is protected by  a permanent  sod  cover,  and  the  stream banks get fenced out protecting aquatic areas. Wildlife habitat is also cre-ated and/or improved.  Overall soil quality improves and carbon is stored due to the increasing 

organic matter buildup in the soils. The infi ltration rate of the soil, due to improved soil structure is increased. So during a rainstorm there tends to be less runoff and more infi ltration and water storage in the organic matter.The consumer benefi ts too! Grazing beef farms along with Community 

Supported Agriculture enterprises (CSA’s) are increasing in our area. This means the consumer has a choice of purchasing grass-fed beef and locally grown vegetables, fruits,  jams, and other farm fresh, locally grown prod-ucts. All of these products are available to you from a farm stand owned by a family farm in our community. As citizens and consumers, we should be encouraging our schools  to 

buy local agricultural products so our kids get quality, locally grown foods. We need to teach our children about local agriculture and its importance in our area. Milk doesn’t just come from the store, and meat is from a beef cow, not the deli department. So the next time you are driving down the road and see some dairy cows 

on pasture grazing,  remember  they are Girls on Grass! They are making milk from quality feed gathered from the nutrients of the soil and the en-ergy of the sun.

to begin a partnership of volunteering in the commu-nity.Volunteering  in  Plattsburgh might  be  new  to  the 

fraternity, but it’s standard procedure for the ARC.“The people we serve have a lot of interest in giv-

ing  back  to  the  community  through  volunteerism,” said Mike Clausen of the ARC, who helped organize the  event.  “This  is  not  just  a  one  day  a  year  thing. We have people volunteering at the Humane Society, soup kitchens and the Tiger Scouts. We have volun-teers all over the place.”Clausen consulted the City of Plattsburgh Depart-

ment of Public Works, who recommended some proj-ects for Green-up Day.Those projects included picking up leaves and lit-

ter,  and  doing  some  light  painting  underneath  the railroad bridge  that  spans  the  Saranac River down-town.One of the volunteers with the ARC, Marvin Desro-

cher, took part in the painting.  “Everybody’s  been  spraying  graffiti  down  here, 

and  I  thought,  ‘why  not  paint  over  it?’”  Desrocher said.Desrocher carefully ran a paint roller over the un-

sightly wordage, making the scenery for those enter-ing or leaving Plattsburgh by train a little more wel-coming.He took a step back, admiring his own handiwork, 

and  said  he’d  be  happy  to  participate  in  Green-up Day again.The  level  of  enthusiasm was  the  same  at  Trinity 

Park, where representatives of the ARC, some of the individuals they serve, and members of Pi Kappa Phi worked shoulder to shoulder using rakes to scoop de-bris into plastic bags.“We decided we wanted to look into local opportu-

nities, so we reached out to the ARC,” said Victor  Delregno  Jr.,  president  of  the  Eta Kappa  Chapter  of  Pi  Kappa  Phi.  “We’re the  only  (national)  fraternity  to  own  and operate  our  own  philanthropy,  Push America,  which  aims  to  change  the  way society views people with disabilities.” Delregno pointed out that, when work-

ing  to  change  peoples’  perceptions,  even seemingly  trivial  distinctions,  like  saying ‘people  with  disabilities’  instead  of  ‘dis-abled people,’ are important.“The  person  always  comes  before  the 

disability,”  Delregno  said.  “We’re  all  the same. Some of us are born a little different, but that’s not a reason to ostracize people or to stay away from them.”Delregno  said  he  has  a  cousin  who  is 

autistic, and that being close  to her while growing  up  is  what  inspired  him  to  do more to help individuals with disabilities.Pi Kappa  Phi will  be  participating  in  the Autism 

Awareness Walk on Saturday, April 27 at  the Platts-burgh Oval.The  walk  has  already  raised  almost 

$10,000  to  support  local  programs  and increase  awareness  about  autism  in  the community.Registration for the event begins at 10 

a.m., and the walk begins at 11 a.m.To  pre-register,  sponsor  a  walker,  or 

make a donation, visit aaneny.org.Rounding  out  a  busy  weekend,  Pi 

Kappa  Phi  is  also  helping  the  North Country  Down  Syndrome  Association throw a bowling jamboree Sunday, April 28 from 1-5 p.m. at North Bowl Lanes in Plattsburgh. The  entry  fee,  which  includes  shoe 

rentals,  is $60 for  teams of  four and $18 

for individuals. It is also $18 per person for teams of two or three people.To  register,  email  the North  Country  Down  Syn-

drome Association at [email protected].
