PLATTSBURGH — Spring is on its way, and so are projects to expand the Saranac River Trail.After about six years of planning, phase
one of the river trail was completed last year and culminated in the official opening of the trail last year on May 21.The now-completed first stretch is a paved,
riverside path that runs from George Angell Drive near Plattsburgh High School to the Saranac Street Bridge.
At a recent Saranac River Trail Commit-tee meeting, future plans for the trail were discussed, with the proposed Max Moore Memorial Treehouse being one of the main talking points.Once completed, the universally accessible
treehouse will be located near Pine Street and Plattsburgh, and will be accessible to people of all ages and abilities.
But adding public amenities isnÕ t cheap.The treehouse alone will cost between
$50,000 to $100,000Ashley Cousens, who organizes fundrais-
ing for the Saranac River Trail Committee and is the Coordinator of Community and Workforce Development at Clinton Commu-nity College, said the cost will ultimately be determined by how much help they receive from volunteers, who much be skilled labor-ers to participate in the building process.To raise money for the project, Cousens an-
nounced some events that are slated to take place this summer. On Saturday, May 11, the Treehouse 10K
and 5K Run/Walk will be held on the Sara-nac River Trail.
People can sign up to participate in the event, which coasts $25 for the 10K race and $20 for the 5K race.
Cousens also has another Tiki Torch Zum-bathon in the works, to tentatively be held at Plattsburgh City Beach on June 15.
All of the funds raised form these events will go toward the treehouse.
Saranac River Trail Greenway
During the Saranac River Trail meet-ing, James Bosley, Planning Technician for the Clinton County Planning Office, talked about plans to extend the river trail.
Bosley is a member of the Saranac River Trail Greenway, a group that strives to ex-tend the river trail to the town of Saranac, and possibly beyond.
Ò The momentum that you have started has
grown,” Bosley said.Saranac River Trail Greenway is currently
in the process of becoming a not-for-profit organization, which will allow it to accept donations, tax free.In the future, the two river trail commit-
tees could join forces.Under that scenario, donors could donate
money to the Saranac River Trail Greenway, and have options for how that money is spent.
The donation could go into a general fund that would be used for any work that needs
to be done on the trail, while other donations could be earmarked for specific projects, like the treehouse.Currently, donations to the Saranac River
Trail can be made through the United Way of the Adirondack Region, located at 45 Tom Miller Road in Plattsburgh. Checks sent there should be made out to “Treehouse Proj-ect c/o United Way.”

Plans to expand the Saranac River Trail under way
The Tiki Torch Zumbathon will return to the Plattsburgh City Beach this summer to raise money to build the Max Moore Memorial Treehouse along the Saranac River Trail.

Last week the news was a buzz with the now-disgraced basketball coach at Rutgers University, Mike Rice,
who was fired for physically assaulting and verbally abusing his players. As the story played out, we learned that RiceÕ s actions were known by college offi-cials. He was fined and dis-ciplined by his immediate supervisor, Athletic Director Tim Pernetti.
Pernetti was “encour-aged” to resign after Univer-sity President Robert L. Bar-chi, who initially approved the AD’s suspension of Rice for three games in December and fined him $50,000, chose to dismiss Rice after he final-ly viewed the tapes himself, just prior to the Rice dismissal announcement and the public release of the tapes.
We’ve also learned that the FBI is now investigating whether Eric Murdock, a Rut-gers assistant coach whose practice videos led to the entire issue reaching the light of public opinion, tried to extort funds from the university.
In a New York Times story a December let-ter written by Murdock’s attorney, demand-ing $950,000, was obtained by ESPN and re-leased last Friday. The money was sought as a settlement of Murdock’s wrongful termina-tion claims, the letter said. Rutgers declined to settle the claim.
Murdock subsequently released RutgersÕ practice video, which was aired and showed the verbal and physical abuse of players on the part of Rice.
Like other stories we’ve seen in the past, the actions seems to follow an all too often pattern be it corporate, academia, religious or government culture. The playbook calls for damage control and plausible deniability by senior management. The hope seems to be — contain the story, put up a stone wall and try to move on. Once it’s apparent the story will become public, plan B is to attempt to get ahead of the breaking story by tak-ing very definitive public action, designed to quell public outrage and establish a fire break to protect senior management and the institution. Sometimes it’s enough and other
times this action backfires, making the situ-ation worst.
It’s unfortunate that public opinion and media exposure is required to get to the
truth behind these incidents. It is perhaps situations like this and the many that have played out before this event that cause the general pub-lic to be so skeptical and distrustful of these large or-ganizations. We’ve learned over time that paramount is the institution’s image, as well as the survival and rehabilitation of the person-nel involved, shielding the truth and ultimately causing even greater damage to the institution and further pub-
lic mistrust. We can only assume these cover ups must work in most cases; otherwise, why would these lofty institutions continue down this destructive path which, once in the public arena, is generally far worse than dealing with the initial issue?
The real problem is getting these institu-tions to live up to the high moral standards by which they supposedly operate. Like the child who is caught with his hand in the cookie jar, it would be nice to know they are honorable enough to own up to the offensive action first rather then after the denial pro-cess.
College sports are big money and have be-come powerful institutions unto themselves … and in some cases almost as powerful as the university. Whenever you have big mon-ey and power involved, we frequently see these efforts to say one thing and do some-thing very opposite.
We know power and money are corrup-tive forces and perhaps there is no way around this deceptive behavior, but contin-ued events like these only tend to reinforce this type of “succeed at all cost” behavior and certainly sends the wrong message to a society that deserves truth and transparency above all else.

Burgh Editorial
Though many people read newspapers, not many people really think of what it means to be a journalist.
Just in the same way people might not un-derstand what a police officer or a doctor goes through on a daily basis it’s hard to imagine what a journalist goes through if you have nev-er been in their shoes.
As most reporters probably agree, they more often hear from the public when their work is disliked than hear from the silent majority who enjoyed their work.
Like many professions it is a job that comes with a price. Not only does it include long, varying hours, the job can also can mean gag-orders to work around. At the same time, re-porters around the world are injured, in some cases kidnapped, killed and jailed for doing their job.
In the midst of the trial of the Aurora Colo-rado theater shooter, James Holmes, which has the attention of the nation, a smaller case is be-ing launched against a reporter who covered the shooting. The secondary trial is against a female reporter who is not being accused of any crime.
New York-based Fox News reporter Jana Winters is being called upon by Colorado jus-tices to reveal the names of confidential sources that released information that showed the ac-cused mass-murderer had eluded to his psychi-atrist at the University of Colorado that he was going to commit the crime.
Winters could face up to six months in jail for not revealing the names of confidential sources which divulged information that Holmes sent a package to the psychiatrist that included a notebook “full of details about how he was go-ing to kill people,” prior to the July 20 shooting, according to a source of Winter’s July 25 article.
The FoxNews.com article also reported the notebook contained illustrations of a massa-cre, including drawings of gun-wielding stick figures shooting other stick figures. The court believes it is information that could only have come from law enforcement or investigators in the case that were under orders not to talk about the drawings.
Holmes’ attorney claimed the leak compro-mised his client’s ability to have a fair trial, though Holmes was ready to plead guilty to the crime if prosecutors promised to not go for the death penalty.
Winters is accused only of protecting the identity of confidential news sources while re-porting an important development in a major national story.
This information was then picked up by oth-er media and became known to people across the country who were hungry to learn more about Holmes.
Though the officers or whomever gave the information to Winters went against the orders of their profession or office to give the reporter this information, it is Winter’s responsibility as a journalist to remain faithful to the commit-ment she gave to keep their identity a secret.
For members of the press integrity is easily lost by any one story or bad information given. If Winters had fabricated the information her job would undoubtably be taken away and she would have no future in media. Furthermore, the reporter is protected under Shield Laws, which are in place in 40 states, including New York and Colorado.
Shield Laws are designed to protect report-ers’ privilege, or the right of news reporters to refuse to testify to information and/or sources of information obtained during the news gath-ering and dissemination process.
As of Monday, April 8, a Colorado order for Winters to return to the state to sit before the grand jury was still in effect. A judge in New York has signed off on the order though Win-ters’ attorney is fighting it.
As you sit here reading this, there are 60 countries involved in a some kind of active war around the world. Journalists risk their lives to be there and report the conflicts, so the rest of the world is made aware of the atrocities tak-ing place.
As of December 2012 the Committee to pro-tect Journalists (CPJ) reported a record number of incarcerated journalists worldwide at 232. The CPJ also reported 70 cases of journalists killed in the line of duty worldwide in 2012.
The media is a watchdog, an advocate, and a voice for the people.
The case against Winters is one of many where a reporter must choose between their personal freedoms or protecting their journal-istic integrity. Winters is saying she will choose the latter if need be.
And she should be lauded for it.

Scene, Paris.A young American, studying abroad, finds himself in
a hospital bed.Scene, Plattsburgh.The Prodigal Son returns home to heal and find his life’s work. And here the story begins, the story of a local boy and his
journey home. Some local friends have created a slightly cheeky marketing message for Plattsburgh….Plattsburgh, the place you come back to…and North Country native TIM WAGONER is living that dream. Tim has found, like many young people before him, that the North Country is a place to create your life’s work and to find genuine contentment.
Tim experiences life through performance and art; gifts he shares as an actor, writer, performer, musician, and missionary. TIM WAGONER is excited, dynamic, insightful, and dare we say “full of it…”, and you may wonder what he is full of…and we can easily answer, “the Spirit”. In addition to being an actor, writer, and director extraordinaire, Tim is also a missionary for the House of Prayer on Tom Miller Road. His mission is to “love God for REAL and to love others from living and receiving that love”. Talking to Tim is a highly spiritual and magical experi-ence. He is so real and so genuine, that he can talk to anyone, and truly connect.
TIM WAGONER recently performed for the community in a one-man play entitled SUPPORT. Researched, written, and life-experienced, Tim wrote this script from interviewing people, and the people that they affect, who are in recovery from addiction.
The performance is informational, thought provoking and emotional and brings the audience to a place of compassion, feel-ing connected to the brokenness of human kind, and hopefully personal action and responsibility.
TIM WAGONERÕ S life story is jam packed with experiences
that have brought him to this special place of giving back. He believes that everyone has an addiction, some more destructive than others. From the brink of death and back to a life that he certainly “acts” out in living color, Tim composes music, writes lyrics, writes scripts and acts in plays…with energy, humor and purpose. You must meet Tim to truly understand what we are talking about and experience his animated spirit!
OUR RECOMMENDATION: Look for Tim’s work, SUPPORT at ROTA Gallery, May 11 at 7 pm, Doors open at 6:30 pm and check out his heart felt mission work at the House of Prayer, http://plattsburghhop.com
Look for him in the upcoming SUNY Plattsburgh play, “A Winter’s Tale.” Friend Tim on FACEBOOK!

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Fans of the nationally syndicated show “The Biggest Loser” are asked to put their loyalty to the test, get off the couch and participate when the Biggest Loser Fun Run and Walk comes to Plattsburgh in June.
The announcement was made on March 28 by Biggest Loser Director of New Business Development Jewel Parelman, Mayor Donald Kasprazak, Plattsburgh’s Superintendent of Recreation Steve Peters, and two very special guests, contestants of the show fifth season, the mother-son duo Dan and Jackie Evans. The Biggest Loser Run/Walk competition is
set for June 9. Plattsburgh is one of 15 destina-tion marathons around the country that fea-tures both a half-marathon and 5-kilometer race for adults and a 1-mile kids fun run.
Ò We choose places based on interest because we want to host this marathon in a place where people in the community will be excited and want to participate,” said Parelman. “Partici-pants have already signed up to come here from 18 different states.”
The training is designed to host athletes of all levels. Participants can walk, run, or both. Jackie and Dan lost a combined weight of 225
pounds — Dan lost 136 pounds and Jackie lost 89 pounds. When they came home from train-ing, Jackie said they both gained weight. “When you are on the show, you are work-
ing out for eight to 10 hours a day, when I came home I went back to work and it felt grueling to get on the Elliptical machine and workout,” said Jackie.
Almost a year after the show ended she was asked to participate in a marathon for charity. Through training and the run itself she said the sport became a social experience that she and Dan looked forward to. She ran 11 half-mara-thons in 2011, and Dan ran 14. Though she enjoys the marathons and train-
ing, Jackie said she has never tried to beat her best time or be competitive. She said she sees the marathons as a chance to continue training and keeping up with her goals to maintain a healthy lifestyle. “I can promise you two things, I can promise
I will cross the start and finish line in the same day and I swear I will be faster than everyone who didn’t get out of bed that morning,” Jackie said.
Races for all The Get Fit, Get Ready race is a series of
5k/10k/15k’s that is designed to get athletes fit. It can also serve as a catalyst to get athletes ready for their next race. This series can act as a stepping-stone to a longer, more challenging race or just an enjoyable experience shared with friends and family. “Whether it is your first half marathon or you
want to hit your next PR (personal record), this series serves as a fun and rewarding race wor-
thy of traveling to,” said Parelman.Every participant will receive a medal or
“bling” to show their accomplishments, a Big-gest Loser t-shirt, and a goodie bag. Awards for runners and walkers are presented to the first, second and third place in their age group for every five years in male and female categories. The overall first, second and third male and fe-male also receive a special award.
The Plattsburgh marathons will start and end at City Hall.Viewers who station themselves at that loca-
tion will see runners five times during the half-marathon Peters said. The oval will also host vendors, nutrition education, fun activities like yoga and zumba. Peters said family members and cheerleaders will have a great time as well as encouraging their runner.
Both courses feature stretches along the lake. A course map can be seen at www.biggestloser-runwalk.com.
Plattsburgh Losers Members of the Plattsburgh city gym health
club modeled after the Biggest Loser were thrilled to share with the Evans their stories too. The participants will also be joining with the marathon.
Ò IÕ m so proud of the fact that everyone here is going to be back for this event,” said Kasprazak.
During the presentation they shouted the number of pounds they lost through the local program. Numbers as high as 55, 38, and 45 were shouted. Altona resident, Nicole Bruno shared her
success story with the Evans duo about how she lost over 110 pounds since beginning the program. “I joined the Biggest Loser group and I lost 71
pounds in the program and I learned alot about how exercise and good nutrition are so impor-tant,” said Bruno.
Bruno said through the program she has learned a lot about what she is capable of.
Ò In order to be healthy you are going to have to exercise,” said Bruno. “When I started the program I couldn’t run this room, now I’m run-ning marathons.Bruno said her two sons, age 15 and 5 were
her inspiration. Her older son even runs some marathons with her. Bruno’s sister, Lisa Mc-Donald, was so inspired by her sister she joined a similar program in Champlain and lost 80 pounds. “I would definitely tell anyone thinking
about joining this program that they can do it,” said Bruno. “It’s one day at a time, it’s not a quick fix, once you choose to start you have to evaluate eating habits and exercise and you have to keep it to get there.”
Run to PlattsburghPast events have brought large crowds Parel-

WHY ¾ OF HOMESELLERS DON’T GET THE PRICE THEY WANT FOR THEIR HOMES
Clinton County- A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their homes, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.
This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of home sellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and – worse – fi nancially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market.
As this report uncovers, most home sellers make 7 deadly mistakes that cost literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable.
In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled “The 9 Step System To Get Your Home Sold Fast And For Top Dollar”.
To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your free copy of this report, call 1-800-282-1097 and enter ID#7000. You can call anytime, 24/7. Call now to fi nd outhow you can get the most money for your home.

Border has two sidesTo the Burgh:The article “ Canada’s border policy should be revisited” was
very interesting and informative. It also made me think about the visitor Õ s going from Canada to the US. I was surprised that you didnÕ t talk about the rules and restrictions that are imposed on Canadians who want to visit our neighbours. You are automati-cally prohibited crossing the border if you have been convicted of any crime, including DUI, no matter if it happened 30 years ago. One of the questions frequently asked by the US immigration of-ficers is “Have you ever been arrested?” Just the fact that you were arrested and not even charged or convicted may be enough not to allow you to cross the border.
You may try to get a pardon, but someone I know who was stopped once because he was arrested for smoking a joint 25 years earlier, looked into it but the $5,000 cost for lawyers and bureau-cratic nightmares wasn’t worth it. And by the way, prior to this one trip to Plattsburgh he crossed the border on a regular basis without any problems, which make me wonder how thorough the agents are.Once I was travelling by bus to New York City and when we
went through the Immigration at Champlain, there was an old Haitian lady who went to visit her family there. She could hardly speak English and the officer was giving her a hard time in a loud and aggressive manner saying that if she wonÕ t speak to him in English he doesnÕ t have to let her in the US. The poor lady was shaking and almost crying. I couldnÕ t believe the bullying he was displaying toward that lady.
It would be a great idea if both sides of the border could get to-gether and figure out some ways to use “common sense “ in some situations, but I won’t hold my breath.

Mayor’s effort commendable
To the Burgh: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on March
18 that he is sending legislation to the City Council that would ban stores from being able to openly display tobacco products. This is not the first law to be put forward on this initiative. In April 2012, the Village of Haverstraw in Rockland County, passed the first law in the United States that would regulate tobacco displays in retail stores. Unfortunately, seven tobacco manufacturers and the New York Association of Convenience Stores fought the display regula-tions and filed a federal lawsuit against Haverstraw. To avoid the risk of incurring hefty legal fees to fight the lawsuit, the village rescinded the law. As Mayor Bloomberg points out, the tobacco companies are
targeting youth with their packaging and displays and they have been very successful in doing so. Ninety percent of current adult smokers started smoking at or before the age of 18 and ninety-nine percent by the age of 26.
Research shows that kids who shop at stores with tobacco mar-keting two or more times a week are 64 percent more likely to start smoking than their peers who donÕ t. There may be other factors that contribute to youth smoking, but marketing has a direct link, and itÕ s something our communities can do something about!
We congratulate Mayor Bloomberg on his forward thinking and
desire to protect our youth. The initial reaction will undoubtedly be similar to smoking bans in restaurants and bars. These policies have been shown significant negative impacts on those businesses. lt has become the norm now and in time, we are hoping that dis-play bans and not smoking where our children can be exposed to it, will also become the norm.

Fix campaign finance reform
To the Burgh:Governor Andrew Cuomo has recently reaffirmed his commit-
ment to fixing New York State’s broken campaign finance system. The League of Women Voters has long supported reform of the current system, which allows big-money donors and special inter-est groups to exert too much influence over candidates for office, and incumbents in office.Our local League of Women Voters recently presented our State
Legislative Chair, Barbara Bartoletti, in a presentation aimed at limning the LeagueÕ s positions and continuing efforts to make real change within the system. Thus we are delighted to observe the growing interest of ever more citizens in this issue, and we welcomed last Friday’s showing of the film, The United States of ALEC, presented by People for Positive Action in cooperation with Common Cause, both committed to the same issues as the League! Further, we thank Denton Publications and Shaun Kittle for their consistent excellent coverage of the LeagueÕ s many ef-forts to inform and educate the public regarding vital issues. A campaign finance system that has reasonable limits on the
amounts of contributions, regulates the flow of money to politi-cal parties, controls the use of campaign funds and, most of all, is overseen by an independent, non-partisan, well-funded investiga-tive body with strong enforcement powers will, we believe, go a long way to renewing the faith of voters in the election system. Inplementation of a small-donor system of public financing of campaigns will result in diminishing the effect of big money and increasing voter participation.Members of the League of Women Voters join the majority of
New Yorkers who believe that campaign finance reform is a criti-cal issue. We urge our fellow citizens to educate themselves on this issue, and to convey their support of campaign finance reform to our state legislators.

Clarinets for ConservationFrom page 1
found the work of primatologist Jane Goodall to be particularly inspiring.Upon entering college, she
shifted gears and decided to chase music.
After obtaining her Bachelor Õ s Degree in Music Education at Ithaca College, Von Haugg en-tered the Air Force, where she played clarinet in the Air Force Band of Liberty for ten years.
And then her past caught up to her present when she saw the film “Mpingo: The Tree That Makes Music.”“I had a lightbulb moment,”
Von Haugg said. “I figured there must be a way that I can com-bine this dream of mine of being a child and wanting to have some sort of involvement with conservation in Africa and my passion as a clarinetist.”The culmination of that dream is Clarinets for Conservation,
a non-profit organization that strives to educate people in the United States and Tanzania about music and its relation to the Mpingo, or African blackwood, tree, which is used to manufac-ture many instruments, including clarinets, guitars, oboes, pic-colos and bagpipes.
The documentary follows the process of manufacturing clari-nets, starting with the harvesting of the Mpingo tree, which is commercially endangered.“The Mpingo tree takes 70-200 years to mature, so it has to be
at least 70 years old to harvest,” Von Haugg said.The heartwood of the MpingoÑ located at the innermost core
of the trunk—is so saturated with carbon that it’s black, making it particularly resistant to damage and therefore extremely well-suited for handling the rigors of instrument manufacturing.“This tree is not only an official music tree, it’s also benefi-
cial to this global carbon initiative that we’ve got going on,” Von Haugg said. Ò This tree actually absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere than 12 other trees combined.”But Von Haugg is as much a realist as she is a conservationist.She isn’t against using Mpingo for instruments, she just wants
to educate people on the ecological importance of the tree.Since most Mpingo is harvested in Tanzania, Clarinets for
Conservation works with students in Korongoni Secondary School in Moshi, Tanzania.The students, most of whom have never seen, or heard, a clari-
net, are introduced to the instrument and taught how to play it.After learning a specific musical program and learning about
the Mpingo tree they go on a trip around the region to visit local schools, where they put on an assembly and teach other students
about the sought-after tree.Following the assembly, the students take trees that they
brought, some Mpingo, some not, and plant them around the school. Last year, about 500 Mpingo trees were planted. They will be
worth millions of dollars once they mature.“Those trees become an investment in those schools,” Von
Haugg said.In the United States, Von Haugg does similar programs around
the country with Clarinets for Conservation.Some of them are straight recitals with booths set up to edu-
cate about the organization’s efforts, other times Von Haugg lec-tures about those efforts and includes a discussion of alternative methods of manufacturing instruments that reduce the impacts on Mpingos.One such alternative is Buffet’s Greenline Clarinet, which is
made from throw-away scraps of Mpingo that are ground to a powder and combined with glue.On Saturday, April 13, Von Haugg will bring the message of
Clarinets for Conservation to the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts in a performance that will include information on the organization accompanied by a clarinet recital.
The pieces will include some traditional pieces as well as con-temporary pieces, including an arrangement of the Tanzanian National Anthem, written by Brett Wery from Schenectady Com-munity College, and a challenging piece by American composer Eric Mandat that requires circular breathing.NCCCA Executive Director Janine Scherline will be joining
Von Haugg in performing a couple pieces in the program.For more information, or to make a donation, visit clarinets-

PLATTSBURGH — Officials of Planned Parenthood are ask-ing people to wear denim April 29 in protest of a 1999 Italian Supreme Court ruling that overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing jeans.Denim Day is a rape prevention education campaign, where
community members, elected officials, businesses and students are asked to make a social statement with their fashion statement and wear jeans as a visible means of protest against misconcep-tions that surround sexual assault.
Denim Day was established after an Italian Supreme Court ruling overturned a rape conviction because the woman was wearing jeans when she was raped. The court’s reasoning rested on the belief that it would have been impossible for the attacker to remove the jeans by himself, so the victim must have facili-tated her own assault.
Ò ItÕ s really hard to imagine this is a real case and that things like this do happen in rape cases,” said Sandra Esposito, Platts-burgh Planned Parenthood Sexual Assault Services Coordinator. “There are a lot of misconceptions about rape, that it’s about sex, it’s not. Rape is about power and control, not what you are wear-ing.”
As April is sexual assault awareness month the Plattsburgh Planned Parenthood felt it was the perfect time to hold fund-raising and educational events like Rock Against Rape Ñ held on April 6 — and Denim Day to bring awareness to sexual assault services available to members of the community.
How to ParticipateIndividuals and groups can declare April 29 Denim Day at
their business or organization. If that day doesn’t work, employ-
ers are asked to choose one that does. Esposito said Denim Day is celebrated on different days in April for different groups.“The 29th just worked for us but people don’t need to cele-
brate it on this specific day, the message is still the same no mat-ter the day,” said Esposito
Anyone interested in participating can call the Sexual Assault Services. Planned Parenthood will provide posters to hang in of-fices to promote Denim Day and with a $5 suggested donation can provide Denim Day for anyone who would like to partici-pate. The pins will encourage anyone who comes into contact with those wearing denim that they support victims of sexual violence.To learn more about Denim Day, call Esposito at 561 – 0605 ext
125 or email [email protected] seeking counseling services or for help coping with
an assault can call the toll-free sexual assault hotline at 1-877-212-2323.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ One congregation hopeÕ s the power of music and the help of the community can aide in the restoration of one of the cityÕ s oldest public buildings. Trinity Episcopal Church, 18 Trinity Place, will host an Evening of
Concert Spirituals and Ballads from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on April 13. The SUNY Plattsburgh State Gospel Choir will sing Congrega-
tional Spirituals such as “This Little Light of Mine” and Thomas Dorsey’s “Precious Lord Take my Hand” along with traditional pieces such as “I’ve been buked and I’ve been scorned,” “King Jesus is a listening’ when you pray” and an uplifting Raymond Wise ar-rangement of “I’ve Got a Robe.” Concert proceeds will benefit the restoration of Trinity Episco-
palÕ s historic painted-glass windows. The church was built in 1831. According to congregation member
Keith Wills, the building is the second oldest church in Plattsburgh and one of the oldest public buildings in the region. “The congregation was founded in 1821 and the church was con-
secrated in 1833,” said Wills. “We are a small church but we are vi-brant.” The gems of the historic church are the 10 painted glass windows
that were installed in 1866.“The windows aren’t stained, they are painted. In the 1800’s
painted glass was thought to be too colorful by the churches and most started installing stained glass windows, for whatever reason our congregation decided to go with the painted glass,” said Wills. The first attempt at restoration of these windows occurred in
1972. Wills said the restoration only proved to create more problems. Ò When the windows were installed the contractors put up a
cloudy sort of storm glass on the outside,” said Wills.
The “cloudy” glass muted the sunlight coming through the glass. Wills said in the next step of the restoration they will ensure clear protective glass is installed to allow daylight to go through the glass.
Ò A larger problem was when the storm glass was installed there was no ventilation to let out the moisture, this caused the wood frames of the glass to deteriorate,” said Wills. Through fundraising in the congregation, Wills said they were
able to send the first three windows to Rohlf Stained & Leaded Glass Studio in Mount Vernon.
For the three windows to be redone the cost for the congregation was $51,000.
Ò Through generous gifts from congregation members and gifts of items to sell on Ebay we were able to raise enough money,” said Wills. The congregation members went through their attics to find a
number of different items to sell. Wills said items ranged in worth
from $15 to hundreds of dollars. Ò We are a small congregation most of us are retired and living on
a set income, and we were worried we wouldn’t have enough cash, but by a leap of faith we were able to have the money by March,” said Wills.
The three windows should be installed by mid-April. Though they arenÕ t sure when they will be able to send out the rest of the windows or how much they will need, Wills said the congregation will proudly be able to show the newly restored windows in the front of the church for the community to share. “We are vibrant, we may be a small congregation, but we’re vi-
brant. When people walk past our church and see these windows they will see what has been done and what is in store for us.”Concert admission is $15 per person and can be paid in cash or
by check.For more information call Trinity Episcopal Church at 561-2244.
Gospel Choir will sing for the windows at Trinity Church
TICONDEROGA — In a rare visit to Warren County, state Bud-get Director Robert Megna told a gathering of civic leaders and citizens about how the newly-approved 2013-14 state budget ac-complishes a wide array of goals.The new budget creates jobs, cuts taxes for middle-class fami-
lies, boosts the minimum wage, reduces costs for businesses and increases education funding to its highest level ever Ñ yet hikes overall spending less than 2 percent, Megna said.“Jobs are coming back, confidence is being restored, and as the
Governor says, it is now a ‘new New York,’” Megna said.An audience of about 80 people from all over Warren County at-
tended Megna’s presentation, and nearly a dozen asked him ques-tions about the spending plan.Megna noted that the last two budgets, crafted in compromise
between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state legislature, represent-ed a dramatic rebound from a $10 billion deficit and had put the state back on a track of financial responsibility.“We’ve put our fiscal house in order — and we’ve right-sized
government while showing the nation that New York is open for business,” he said.
Taxes reduced, govt. spending cutMegna said that the dozens of state agencies were held to a zero
percent budget increase, state employee salaries were kept stable and employee benefits were re-structured to save taxpayers a sub-stantial sum.“We now have the lowest middle-class tax rates in 60 years,” he
said, adding that families earning from $40,000 to $300,000 annu-ally will be receiving a $350 rebate check this year.“In 2012, 4.4 million new Yorkers received a tax cut, and there
will be more this year,” he continued.
New budget to spur prosperityThe new budget reflects $800 million in business tax cuts, he
added. Small businesses, Megna said, will receive income tax ex-emptions totaling $141 million, and manufacturers will experience a 25 percent reduction — a total of $120 million — in tax cuts, in an effort to prompt corporations to retain and create high-wage jobs.
The Cuomo administrationÕ s programs to boost employment have resulted in 300,000 new jobs since Jan. 2011, he said, adding he was floored by the data indicating that one-fifth of all new pri-vate-sector jobs in the U.S. during that time were created in New York State alone.
Hiked minimum wage offsetThe state’s pending hike in the minimum wage from $7.25
to $8.50 per hour, he said, wouldn’t burden businesses because the increased wages would be substantially offset by a tax credit for hiring teenage students at minimum wage Ñ credits that are predicted to total $163 million statewide. He observed that 48,000 workers in the Capital Region earn less than $9 per hour.
He also said that through reform of unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation, businesses in New York would save $1.2 billion, without decreasing benefits to workers.
Boost for high-tech innovationHe said that the budget provides for a program to prompt inno-
vation in industry, particularly in high-technology fields through establishing “innovation hot spots” in academic centers, launch-ing 10 high-technology incubators and establishing tax incentives for business ventures that evolve out of the research and develop-ment projects.
Ò WeÕ ll be working to keep young entrepreneurs with great ideas here in New York,” he said.
Education a budget priorityBoosting education is part of the plan to create new good-
paying jobs, Megna said, noting that the 1013-14 budget calls for increasing state investments in education by $936 million, a hike of 4.7 percent. The Capital Region alone would receive $47 million in additional state aid to education, he added. This aid includes $25 million for all-day pre-kindergarten, $20 million for extended learning time — longer school days or school years; $11 million for rewarding high-performing teachers, and $4 million for early college programs in high schools. The state is to pay 100 percent of the cost of these initiatives, he said.
Funding for disabledArea resident John Davidson expressed concern about the
pending $90 million cut in funding of programs for New Yorkers with developmental disabilities.
Megna replied that services and programs for these individu-als would not be effected, because the budget cuts — prompted by reductions of $1.1 billion in federal Medicaid reimbursement Ñ would be offset by cuts in service agency administrative ex-penses, prosecutions of fraud and elimination of overpayments.
Ò The last thing we want to do is disrupt services for this popu-lation,” he said.
State budget director details new initiatives
In a public forum held Thursday, April 4, state Budget Director Bob Megna explains how the 2013-14 state budget balances new investments in job growth, education and innovation with tax cuts to families and businesses as well as reform to unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation — moves expected to provide $1.3 billion in savings to taxpayers.

Food ShelvesFrom page 1
The Clinton County chapter has been active for 59 years, serves 550 people and is the third largest employer in the county, next to Plattsburgh State and CVPH Medical Center.Over the last six decades, individuals the ARC serves have
volunteered in places like nursing homes, nursery schools, and animal shelters.
The food drive is another way the ARC strives to give back to the community, and it is also an opportunity for com-munity members to learn more about them.“Sometimes, people don’t know individuals with devel-
opmental disabilites,” said Theresa Garrow, executive di-rector of the ARC. “Like anything in life, if we don’t know about something, oftentimes we’re fearful. If we get an op-portunity to meet someone who has a disability, that fear will melt away instantly.”
This coming weekend, I’ll be heading back down to New-comb to attend the final offering in the “Got Game” lecture series.
If the snow holds up, I may attempt to squeeze in one last ski trip of the season. However, if the weather turns warmer, I may just trade in my ski poles, and grab a fishing pole. There is still over a foot of ice on the ponds, and a dense snowpack
in the hills, but it will all melt off quickly with a few sunny days, some heavy rains and a stiff wind. For those that must fish, many local lakes and pond are already
showing plenty of open water around the inlets and outlets. April’s Full Moon, which is scheduled to arrive on the 25th, will
prompt the annual smelt run. Even if the ice remains in command of the lakes and ponds, anglers will find opportunities around inlets and feeder streams as smelt and later suckers return to spawn in the streams.Currently Newcombites, Minervaphiles and Long Lakers are all
celebrating the success of the locally produced video production that recently went viral, and well beyond the town limits.Eventually the video, which featured a serious spoof of the dela-
padated condition of the local highway infrastructure, made it all the way down the line to the not-so-hallowed halls of the government chambers in Albany.Although nearly 69,000 acres of local state land may soon be open-
ing to the public, it appeared to many that State Route 28N was going to retain the title as: “The wildest ride in town.” But then came the video.Upon its arrival, politicians of all sorts took notice, and soon there
were promises of an extensive and expensive project to complete a major refurbishment of Route 28N from Minerva to Long Lake.Readers can find the video at http://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=tuv0_cP-0yU&feature=youtu.beFor everyone’s sake, I hope the politicians remain true to their
word!The last Got Game event of the season will focus on game cooking,
and it will be hosted by the fireside in the historic Huntington Lodge Trophy Room on Saturday, April 13 from 3 -5 p.m. Please register in advance at [email protected] or for more information contact Paul Hai at [email protected] or 518-582-4551 ext 104.The “Got Game Cooking” is a timely topic, as many hunters are
currently getting to the bottom of the freezer, and struggling with
how to prepare the last few cuts of venison left in their freezers.
It is also a good time to learn some new recipes for cooking fresh brook trout, which will soon become a popular table fare in many local households, directly after ice out. The price of admission, (only
$5) will get you a bowl of rabbit chili, venison stew, and a beer or other cold beverage. Participants are also encouraged to provide a game dish to share if they like. I plan to bring along a crock pot of cranberried venison, which
has become one of my favorite ways to prepare the last few bags of meat in the freezer. After simmering in a crock pot for 16 hours, even the ‘chewy-newy’ twitching muscles of a whitetail are as tender as a filet mignon.In addition to the venison dish, I hope to have a few snacks of
“maple smoked trout,” if I can procure a few brookies in time. The beginning of trout season typically coincides with the annual
sugaring season, and there is no better way to prepare fresh brookies than to soak them in a maple syrup brine, and smoke the fillets over the coals of a smoldering tag alder fire.Although a proper brine is very important, the process is never
complete without an adequate supply of fresh cut tag alders. I soak the alder pieces overnight and place the small chunks directly on top of hardwood, charcoal briquettes. Do not let the alder pieces catch flame.This recipe calls for brook trout, however it works quite well with
perch or any fish fillet, as well as turkey, venison, or other game. It’s an old favorite for making “trout candy.” Keys to a good product are in the brine and in the choice of smok-
ing wood. I prefer to use green, tag alder or apple, both species of which are readily available in the spring. One along the streams, the other when pruned in the local orchards. Soak the cut wood overnight to prevent it from catching fire in the
smoker. Promptly remove any pieces that begin to flameFor the brine mix: Based on 4-6 pounds of fish -adjust accordingly.• 2-4 gallons of water with 1-3 pounds of Kosher salt• Add 1 quart of pure maple syrup, or 1 cup brown sugar.• 1 1/2 cups of fresh squeezed lemon juice• 2 tablespoons of liquid/squeezed garlic; powder doesn’t dis-
solve well• 2 tablespoons of liquid/squeezed onion; powder doesn’t dis-
solve well• 1 tablespoon crushed black pepper • 4-6 large Bay leaves(whole)Bring the whole mix to a roaring boil and let it cool “completely”
before adding fish fillets. Prepare fillets with skin intact, the thinner the fillets, the dryer
the meat. Do not place fillets into brine mix until after it has cooled completely. Put the fillets in the mix and store in a refrigerator for 24 hours, covered.Remove fillets, and place on racks to let them air dry completely
before smoking, usually 2-3 hours. Drying properly will allow the formation of a glaze that will serve to seal in moisture so the smoked fish will not be too dry.
Smoke the fillets over a low heat, with no flames, according to weight. 1-1 1/2 lb = 30 minutes1 1/2-3 lb = 1-1/2 hr.3-5 lb = 2 1/2- 3 hr.Fillets will develop a nice bronze color and will be firm to the
touch, but not dry. Do not overcook. Remove from heat and let cool on racks in open air. And try not to eat the entire batch at one sitting.

A handsome heritage strain brook trout from Horn Lake is readied for release back to the water, in order to fight another day. Note the usual white outline on all of the fins, including the dorsal .
