PLATTSBURGH „ If you listen to Matt Boire, Plattsburgh is full of ghosts.
They frequent downtown as the disembod-ied products of murder, and they still patrol the property of the old base as soldiers of a bygone, but not forgotten, era.
Boire, who is the sole tour guide for the Greater Adirondack Ghost and Tour Company,
loves to tell true stories about the regionÍ s rich history.
The ghosts, he said, just go with the territory.
ñ You canÍ t have one without the other,î Boire said. ñ Platts-burgh was founded in 1785. Anywhere you have that rich of a history, that depth of time, there always seems to be that other layer thatÍ s left behind.î
Maybe heÍ s right.Plattsburgh, it turns out,
does have a lot of history, and with it comes an eerie past.
As Boire strolls through downtown with a tour group in tow, wearing a tall stove pipe hat and black, Abraham Lincoln suit, he gestures to buildings and street corners and tells tales of what life in Plattsburgh used to be like.
ñ I can walk through these streets and visualize what it looked like 100 years ago,î Boire said. ñ I like to make that connection with people, and let them know what happened right where theyÍ re standing.î
BoireÍ s delivery is witty and
engaging, even as he describes characters like Dr. Beaumont, the famed U.S. Army surgeon who became known as the ñ Father of Gastric Physiology.î
But Beaumont, whom Beaumont Hall on the Plattsburgh State campus is named after, had a dark side.
During ñ Dr. BeaumontÍ s Tour of Terror,î Boire stops at a plaque indicating the former site of Beaumont’s office, and explains in grim detail how the man performed the experiments that gave him so much knowledge on all things gastrointestinal.
BeaumontÍ s test subject was a man who went to the doctor for help after being accidentally shot in the stomach.
The hole produced by the bullet, called a fistula, provided the perfect window for Beau-mont to observe how the human stomach works.
BeaumontÍ s experiments led to his discov-ery that digestion is a chemical process, not a mechanical process as previously assumed, but it also led to years of grave discomfort for the fistulated test subject.
Like many of BoireÍ s stories, the one about the Father of Gastric Physiology contains ele-ments of tragedy, but the real tragedy, Boire said, is that hundreds of people walk by Beau-montÍ s plaque daily and few even realize itÍ s there.
ñ ItÍ s always sad to me when I speak to some-one and they donÍ t have any pride in their communityÍ s history,î Boire said. ñ Events that changed the course of American history happened right here, where we live, on these streets, where we drive every day. These stories can give them pride in their community that they might not have had before.î
BoireÍ s interest in the past started with his own family, which has been in the region for eight generations.
“My fifth great-grandfather fought in the Battle of Plattsburgh in 1814,î Boire said. ñ I can stand where he stood 200 years ago, when he looked down his musket at the British. I get a huge kick out of that, and when I tell people that, they get a kick out of it too. It makes his-tory come alive.î
After touring places like Gettysburg, Pa. and St. Augustine, Florida, Boire began to wonder why Plattsburgh didnÍ t have similar history-based tours.
So Boire put his affinity for history to work about three years ago when he decided to give ghost tours for Halloween.
ñ When people hear ï ghosts,Í their ears perk up,î Boire said. ñ The ghost tour helps put an interesting and unique spin on these stories. It doesnÍ t have to be ï history force-feeding 101.Í î
The tours were so successful that he soon be-gan doing them from spring through fall.
He now leads three different tours every weekend„ î Ghosts of the Old Post,î ñ Spectres and Soldiersî and ñ Dr. BeaumontÍ s Tour of Ter-ror.î
ñ Ghosts of the Old Postî encompasses the Plattsburgh Barracks and the Old Post Cem-etery, ñ Spectres and Soldiersî covers the old Roman Catholic burial ground, and ñ Dr. Beau-montÍ s Tour of Terrorî begins in Trinity Park and travels through most of downtown Platts-burgh.
More tours are always in the works, and ex-isting tours are constantly being modified.

PLATTSBURGH „ Friends and coworkers of a Chazy woman are coming together to help raise money to aid in her fight against cancer.
A fundraiser will be held on June 8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Eye Care For The Adirondacks, 450 Margaret Street. Guests can drop off u n w a n t e d cans and re-cyclables, en-ter raffles for h o m e m a d e basket pack-ages, buy
baked goods from the bake sale, have their car washed and check out a yard sale put togeth-er to raise money for Eye Care employee Gail Reyell.
Reyell, of Chazy, was diagnosed in April with Follicular Lymphoma Grade 3B, Stage III.
ñG ail is a great person to work with and is always smiling, is always helpful and always willing to go out of her way to help anyone, al-ways on the go, it was easy for us to decide to do something for her because she would do the same for any of us in a second,î said co-worker Samantha Farina.
Reyell, an avid hiker and outdoors person, has had to put away her hiking boots as she fights against cancer.
Farina along with her co-workers at Eye Care of the Adirondacks and friends of ReyellÍ s start-ed the fundraiser ñ Coworkers Helping Cowork-ers Fight the Fightî t o be there for Reyell.
ñI t all came together pretty fast, she found out at the end of April and we got started planning
this event shortly after,î said Farina. ñS he is al-ways helping everyone she can and we have to do the same.î
The group hopes to financially help Reyell by helping to pay for travel expenses to and from treatments in Vermont and Illinois. Farina said money will help pay for gas, ferry tickets, plane tickets as needed, time-off without pay when/if that becomes necessary, and the ever-mounting co-pays as Reyell undergoes aggressive treat-ment over the next several months.
Farina wrote in a letter sent out to perspec-tive helpers of the fundraiser that: ñW e are very hopeful that this fundraiser can serve to relieve some of Gail’s financial burden, and in the long run, alleviate much of the stress that comes with such concerns.î
ñI tÍ s going to be a really fun day, weÍ re hop-
ing itÍ s a beautiful day but if it rains it wonÍ t put a damper on it, we have a garage there we can move it to,î said Farina. ñPeo ple just might not want to have their car washed in the rain.î
Raffle items will include a variety of themed baskets made by one of the event volunteers and Farina said more items are being sought.
ñW e have some time left but we are reaching out to businesses for donations, weÍ re hoping to have some outdoor furniture to raffle,” said Farina.
If anyone would like to make give but cannot make the fundraiser can drop off or mail a do-nation to Sharron Harmon, 450 Margaret Street, 12901.

MORRISONVILLE „ Last year, Richard Lamoy, owner of Hid-In-Pines Vineyard, let the Treasure Chests Relay for Life Team hold a fundraiser at his vineyard to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
There was music, food and plenty of wine tastings to be had at the all-day event, called the Wine, Cheese and Chocolate Fundraiser.
The fundraiser will return, bigger and better, on Saturday, June 1, but for Lamoy the event is a little more personal this year.
At the end of 2012, he went to the doctor to have a cat scan for a kidney stone, a fairly routine, if not discomforting, process.
Evidence of lymphoma was found so his doctor referred him to a specialist, and af-ter a few months and several tests, Lamoy learned he had stage three follicular lymphoma.
“I was already going to let them do the second benefi t, but now it has even more meaning for me. ItÍ s hit home,î Lamoy said. ñ I never thought IÍ d say this, but that kidney stone probably helped prolong my life.î
A lot of symptoms of cancer can be attributed to other prob-lems, like the fl u, so many cancers aren’t diagnosed until they reach their later stages.
Since lymphomas are particularly slow growing, they almost always remain undetected until they reach stage three or four.
There is no known cure for them, but treatment is available.ñ The best they can do is keep it at bay,î Lamoy said. ItÍ s very
tiring. The drugs they give you wreak havoc on your entire body.î
Keeping lymphoma at bay means Lamoy must undergo a se-ries of drug treatments, which often leave him feeling nauseous, fatigued and uneasy for a week.
Lamoy has received fi ve treatments to date and is hoping to schedule his sixth treatment a day or two after the event.
Lamoy’s life-changing diagnosis has brought him diffi culties, but there is some good news„ a recent positron emission tomog-raphy scan showed that the treatments are working.
The imaging test utilizes a radioactive dye, called a tracer, to detect cancer.
When the scan is performed, areas affected by cancer light up and look a lot like a satellite image of light pol-lution.
Less light is better, and thatÍ s exactly what the results of LamoyÍ s scan showed.
ñ A lot of people are afraid to learn they have cancer,î Lamoy said. ñ But the sooner you are diagnosed, the sooner you can begin treatment and start fi ghting it.”
Anne Lautenschuetz, organizer of the Wine, Cheese and Chocolate Fundraiser and captain of the Treasure Chests Relay for Life Team, can relate.
On her 30th birthday, she received some troubling news.
ñ I am a 17-year survivor of breast cancer,î Lauten-schuetz said. ñ I was 30 years old and pregnant with my second son while diagnosed, so I went through surgery and chemo while I was still pregnant.î
Almost two decades later, Lamoy is still actively at-tending support groups to give hope to others who have been diagnosed with cancer.
ñ When I was going through my cancer, I had a lot of really strong family and friends support,î Lauten-
schuetz said. ñ I didnÍ t think I needed to go to a support group, and I thought it would be like what you see on T.V., a lot of de-pressed old ladies sitting around crying, and I didnÍ t need that.î
About two years after her diagnosis, the nurse oncologist at the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center in Plattsburgh called Lautenschuetz and asked her to take part in a program called Reach to Recovery, which matches up someone who has been through cancer with someone who has recently been diagnosed.
ñ I fell in love with that program, and through the training for that program, I learned that a lot of the women had been go-ing to this (Treasure Chests) support group, so I started going,î Lautenschuetz said.
Lautenschuetz quickly learned that her preconceived notions of cancer support groups were not accurate.
They were not focused on pity and de-pression, but instead gave attendees hope, while also keeping them up-to-date on new
cancer research and treatments. ñ One thing I would stress is to anybody going through this is
to try a support group,î Lautenschuetz said. ñ DonÍ t get a vision in your head of what it is. We spend more time laughing than we do crying.î
That was 15 years ago, and now Lautenschuetz hardly ever misses a meeting.
She went on to organize the Treasure Chests Relay for Life team, and last year she put the Wine, Cheese and Chocolate Fundraiser together.
Lautenschuetz and Lamoy agreed that the all-day event re-ceived a good turn out despite the foul weather„ as any North Country resident knows, it can snow in June in these parts„ and both also agreed that this year Í s event will be an amped-up ver-sion of last year Í s.
Along with the tastings, which include locally produced wine, cheese and chocolate, there will raffl es and performances by key-boardist Jay Lesage, the Completely Stranded Improv Troupe, former American Idol contestant Ben Bright, as well as acoustic performances by Taylor Renae LaValley, Abigail Clark, and alter-native/rock band Truth be Told.
For more information, call Anne Lautenschuetz at 293-7097, or visit facebook.com/events/366273846820281/ to RSVP.

Memorial Day will be observed through-out the North Coun-
try, but this weekend belongs to the community of Crown Point. For 145 years it has been mark-ing the occasion, every year since the end of the Civil War, each year a little bigger and bet-ter.
It may be the longest continu-ous Memorial Day event in the nation.
ThatÍ s the way it should be since Crown Point men played a prominent role in the founding of the Memorial Day holiday.
Originally known as Decora-tion Day, Memorial Day began in the south after the Civil War. In-spired by the bravery displayed in the battle of Gettysburg, the bloodiest fight in American his-tory with nearly 55,000 causali-ties, southerners began to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers as a sign of respect and appreciation.
The custom quickly spread to the north, where people were just as impressed with the gallantry shown at Gettysburg and throughout the Civil War. New York became the first state to officially recognize Memorial Day in 1873.
Crown Point can and should take pride in its own contributions to freedom. Men from Crown Point were at Gettysburg„ a monument stands to their unit there. More than 100 men from Crown Point, an amazing number from a community of its size, formed Company H of the 5th New York Cavalry under the command of John Hammond (A monument to Hammond stands in Crown PointÍ s Forrestdale Cemetery.). The unit distinguished itself throughout the Civil War.
Crown Point men also fought in Adirondack Regiment, 118th N.Y., seeing action in many of the Civil War Í s bloodiest battles.
And those brave souls werenÍ t alone. Crown Point has contributed to each and every American conflict, sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice.
This year Í s Memorial Day celebration will be held May 26 and 27.Crown Point’s festivities will include an ecumenical church service, a parade, fireworks, amuse-
ment rides, entertainment and vendors. But itÍ s important to note the community understands the significance of Memorial Day. Each year’s observance is built around the town’s traditional ñ solemn cemetery tour.î
The tour includes stops at each of the communityÍ s cemeteries, where Boy Scouts present the colors, ñ Tapsî is played, the school chorus sings and a speaker notes the importance of the place and people buried there. The tour concludes at the Veterans Monument in the town park at noon.
This year’s Memorial Day in Crown Point carries added significance. Crown Point is celebrating the 225th year of its founding.
Congratulations to Crown Point for 225 years of history and for 145 years of reminding us of the true meaning of Memorial Day.
„ Denton Editorial Board
Crown Point sets Memorial Day example Is it just that the lure of
a second presidential term is so unlike any-
thing else that administrations will do anything to secure it? The Nixon Administration in 1972, had the election all but sewn up. Breaking into the Democratic National Commit-tee office was more than dumb and the coverup that followed was far worse than the bun-gled break-in.
There is no evidence, as of yet, that any of these scandals will lead completely back to the Oval Office but the comparisons to Nixon are inevitable. The president has suddenly found himself dealing with several scandals all at once, including the fallout from the Benghazi terror attack, the Justice Depart-mentÍ s seizing of phone records from the Associated Press and the Internal Revenue ServiceÍ s policy of singling out Tea Party and other groups for scrutiny.
Many have drawn comparisons to the Nixon White House when looking at the blossoming scandals arising currently. While President Nixon did, indeed, use the IRS to target political enemies, his motives remain unclear. It has been assumed it was to avenge friends and supporters who had been target-ed by the IRS under prior administrations.
While President Obama has called the IRS targeting of conservative organizations ñ out-rageous,î and late Wednesday announced the resignation of acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller, who was previously required to leave the office in a few weeks regardless of the presidentÍ s actions, investigations are just now getting under way. The sad reality is like Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton and Bush, it seems second terms somehow get bogged down with defending missteps and allegations of wrongdoings.
Defending the actions of an over confi-dent White House has consumed previous administrations and now the Obama White House will need to defend its actions. If weÍ ve learned anything from the past, we can be assured these investigations wonÍ t go away anytime soon as they become po-litical footballs that will likely be discussed for the balance of ObamaÍ s term. A CNN/ORC poll found that 54 percent of Americans donÍ t believe that Congress is overreacting
to the IRS scrutiny of con-servative groups. By an even larger margin, 59 percent said Congress is making the right moves on the administra-tionÍ s actions regarding the Benghazi terror attack. ThatÍ s all the motivation both sides need to get the press corps re-energized to begin actively pursuing conspiracy theories and cover ups.
The poll became public, and the battle lines continue to be drawn as White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer
made the rounds of last SundayÍ s talk shows, defending President Obama.
ñ HereÍ s the cardinal rule ƒ for all White Houses,î Pfeiffer said, ñ you do not interfere in an independent investigation, and you do not do anything to give off the appearance of interference in an independent investiga-tion.î
Conversely, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said the White House might not have commanded Internal Revenue agents to target conservative groups, but a ñ culture of intimidation throughout the administra-tionî made them think it was acceptable. The president of The Associated Press says the governmentÍ s seizure of AP journalistsÍ phone records was ñ unconstitutionalî and already has had a chilling effect on news gathering. Gary Pruitt, speaking on CBSÍ ñ Face the Nation,î said the Justice Depart-mentÍ s secret subpoena of reportersÍ phone records has made sources less willing to talk to AP journalists.
LetÍ s have a president serve one, six-year term, be totally focused on the job at hand, and remove the time lost traveling around the nation for 18 months campaigning for the right to validate the first term with a second term.
Simply put, the power of the presidency, the desire to retain that power and the legacy of not being reelected creates far too great an opportunity to see overzealous subordinates cross the line and create scandals that dis

SARANAC LAKE „ If thereÍ s 46 things the Adirondack High Peaks are known for, itÍ s mountains.
And those mountains are quite a draw for tourists.
The quest to become an Adirondack 46er, an elite title bestowed upon those who manage to reach the summit of each of the regionÍ s 46 highest mountains, brings thousands of adven-ture seekers to the area every year.
But Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau wants the world to know that his village, on the fringe of the High Peaks region, has mountains, too.
So the village des-ignated six mountains, all within 15 miles of Sa-ranac Lake, as ñ 6ers.î
ñ With this program, weÍ ve started to intro-duce our village to the hiking and climbing community within the Adirondacks,î Rabideau said. ñ This is a way to introduce Saranac Lake and our beautiful mountains to that commu-nity, from Montreal and further north to New York City and beyond.î
The mountains„ McKenzie, Ampersand, Scarface, St. Regis, Haystack and Baker„ are all smaller than their High Peak counterparts, and a determined hiker can complete all six in one day.
A map, created for the program as a dona-tion by the Adirondack Park Agency, provides directions to each trailhead and information on each mountain.
To drum up excitement, and to discover who will offi cially become the fi rst Saranac Lake 6er, a kick-off event will be held Saturday, May 25 at Berkeley Green in downtown Saranac Lake.
Hikers can begin registering for the competi-
tion at 7 a.m., and the offi cial start time is 8 a.m. At 3 p.m., Rabideau and others will gather
at Berkeley Green, where hikers that day must start and fi nish, to await the new 6ers.
Mountains climbed prior to May 25 do not count.
ñ ThereÍ s a lot of talk on the street about how fast this will happen,î Rabideau said. ñ WeÍ ve heard anywhere from 9 to 16 hours for the fi rst 6er to come back.î
The fi rst three people to complete the circuit will receive a wood spirit walking stick, hand carved by Rick Gonyea.
Those who donÍ t place in the top three are still encouraged to ring the 6er bell, located in
the Berke-ley Green b a n d s h e l l , six times, a new 6er tra-dition.
An af-ternoon of events will also take place in the village throughout
the day, including Adirondack Trivia with local guide Joe Hackett, live music by Inisheer, and a ñ Walk of Fameî induction for Herb Clark, who became the fi rst Adirondack 46er in 1925.
There will also be a ñ Sixer Saturday Spring Shoppingî spree.
Participating businesses will give customers a raffl e ticket for every purchase they make.
The tickets must be brought to Berkeley * UHHQ� EHWZ HHQ� � � � � S � P � � WR� EH� HQWHUHG� LQWR� D�drawing for one of six prizes, including a pair of round-trip tickets to Boston and an Adiron-dack chair.
The all-day 6er-celebration isnÍ t the only day aspiring 6ers can complete the mountains„ it is just the beginning of what Rabideau said will become a long-standing activity in Saranac Lake.
“This is a program that will last indefi nitely,” Rabideau said. ñ We anticipate that a lot of fami-lies and individuals will be doing this through-
out the years.îPeople seeking the coveted 6er patch can take
days, weeks or years to climb the mountains, but those who complete them in less than 24 hours will become ñ Ultra 6ers.î
To obtain a patch, hikers must mail the fol-lowing to the Village of Saranac Lake: The date each of the six mountains were climbed, the time at the summit of the last mountain hiked,
the applicants mailing and email address, and $5 for postage and handling.
The village will send each fi nisher an offi cial member number and a 6er patch and sticker.
The $5 check should be made payable to the Village of Saranac Lake and sent, along with all other information, to: Village of Saranac Lake, Saranac Lake 6ers, 39 Main St., Saranac Lake, NY 12983

GLENS FALLS „ While the stateÍ s economy is rebounding from the recent deep economic recession, the Adirondack region has continuing challenges, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli told area leaders Monday during a visit to Glens Falls.
DiNapoli gave a speech and answered questions at a breakfast held May 19 at the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls. About 90 local politicians, entrepreneurs and economic development of-ficials attended the event, hosted by the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce.
New York State as a whole, he said, is gradually climbing back out of the recession, he said.
ñ WeÍ re on the road to recovery „ but weÍ re not moving for-ward like gangbusters „ weÍ re not generating the kind of job growth weÍ d like to see.î
DiNapoli noted the Glens Falls metropolitan region in March had an unemployment rate of 8.3 percent, equal to the stateÍ s level „ but unlike the entire state, the Glens Falls metro area has only recovered 25 percent of the jobs it lost during the recession. The state had a net increase of 350,000 jobs over the past three years, he said.
While job growth has been relatively strong overall in the state, itÍ s been primarily with businesses and industry, and not in government or schools, which have experienced substantial downsizing, he said.
Region faces special problemsDespite the statewide economic rebound, a variety of issues
are exerting financial stress to municipalities, residents and busi-nesses in the Adirondacks, he said.
ñ There are unique challenges in this part of the state includ-ing environmental issues,î he said. noting how a balance was necessary between economic development and environmental protection.
In addition, the population in the Adirondack Park is declin-ing, and the Park residents remaining are aging and requiring more services, at a time government revenue is declining, he said.
ñ Each part of the state has its own challenges,î he continued.However, things are looking up in Warren County, he said,
noting that retail sales are up, resulting in a 2.6 percent increase in sales tax revenue for 2012.
Fiscal pressures on state, county and local governments are bound to continue, DiNapoli predicted, noting that federal aid has been cut while costs are increasing. ñ Financial stress is not a passing phase,î he remarked, adding how no real progress has been made on mandate relief. “Difficult choices on spending will continue.î
ï Fiscal StressÍ system ramping upDiNapoli said his agency is launching a research and outreach
program that analyzes municipalities’ financial data and identi-fies those at risk of bankruptcy or default.
This fiscal stress monitoring system, he said, would provide an early warning of substantial financial problems he said, not-ing the Comptroller’s office will be publishing the list.
“This is not meant to be finger-pointing, but to inform and en-gage the local taxpayers and citizens so they can provide more thoughtful input,î he said.
Pension cash for NY enterprisesDiNapoli noted that his office had established the In-state Pri-
vate Equity Program to steer investment money from the state pension fund to help local businesses either start up or expand and prosper „ or assist out of-state businesses in moving to New York State.
This program, he said, has already resulted in $641 million be-ing invested to date in 246 companies across the state, including $22 million for Navilyst (recently acquired by Angio-Dynamics) in Glens Falls, he said.
ñ WeÍ re trying to recycle state pension fund dollars right back into the stateÍ s economy,î he said.
DiNapoli: ï claim your cashÍAlso, DiNapoli touted his agencyÍ s program of publishing
names of those due unclaimed funds held by the sate „ a to-tal of $12 billion belonging to individuals and businesses, culled from checks left uncashed from as long ago as 1940.
To make his point, DiNapoli hauled out three giant checks to local entities reflecting their balances existing now in his office’s Unclaimed Funds depository.
He presented a check of $200 to the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce represented by Peter Aust, ARCC Presi-dent; $651.83 to the Glens Falls National Bank represented by its president, Thomas Murphy, and $532 to the City of Glens Falls „ with Sen. Little accepting the check.
Later, Queensbury Supervisor Ron Montesi asked DiNapoli about whether his office tracked how much state Lottery revenue actually bankrolled public education, its original stated purpose.
Answering for DiNapoli, Sen. Little said that sum was $3.4 billion for 2012.
DiNapoli said that state Lottery revenue was deposited in the state General Fund, out of which state Aid for education was drawn.
ñ ItÍ s an accounting mechanism,î he said. DiNapoli was also asked if a dollar value had been calculated
reflecting the actual benefits stemming from the tax breaks and incentives awarded Global Foundries.
ñ I canÍ t give you hard numbers, but economic development experts saw it as a great opportunity,î he said about the multi-billion chip-fabrication development based in Malta, and the spin-off high technology industries attracted to the Capital Re-gion. “Their objectives are now being fulfilled in a positive way.”
After DiNapoliÍ s 90-minute presentation, Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty praised the state Comptroller for his outreach to Warren County.
ñ DiNapoli is an effective advocate for local communities, and showing up here is a good thing for the region,î Geraghty said.
State Assemblyman Dan Stec of Queensbury said he support-
ed DiNapoliÍ s commitment to reinvesting pension fund cash into in-state businesses.
“Investing in New York businesses benefits the state’s econ-omy and creates jobs,î he said, adding that any area business with a qualifying need should contact him or Sen. Little as well as DiNapoli for potential assistance. ñ ItÍ s a great idea and a win-win situation.î

PLATTSBURGH „ As the sun rose over VermontÍ s Green Mountains on Saturday, May 18, 18 World War II veterans left Plattsburgh to visit the National World War II Memorial in Washington D.C.
The trip marked the inaugural flight of North Coun-try Honor Flight, a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring World War II veterans by taking them to the memorial.
Hundreds showed up at the Old Base Oval in Platts-burgh for a ceremony to see the veterans off.
More than a dozen uniformed troops, who stood at at-tention as the veterans and their guardians boarded the bus, were also on hand.
The crowd cheered and held up signs„ î God bless WWII vets,î ñ One last missionî „ as the bus pulled away at 5:30 a.m., led by a motorcade of motorcycles in-cluding the Plattsburgh Harley Owners Group, Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, the Patriot Guard and the Legion Riders.
The procession snaked through Plattsburgh as it head-ed for Interstate 87 and the Albany Airport, all the while passing crowds of people waving flags and saluting.
More motorcyclists joined the growing parade at every exit, and people waited on overpasses to celebrate as the veterans rode by.
On board, the veterans were feeling the excitement, too.There was a smile on every wide-eyed face, and many stood to watch as motorcycles zipped by,
leaving tracers of red, white and blue in their wake.ñ This is so much more than I expected,î said U.S. Navy veteran Ralph P. Filion as he peered over
the seat in front of him to watch a motorcyclist pass the bus, his long gray beard plastered against his face.
ñ A lot of us donÍ t talk because it brings back bad memories. As many years ago as it happened, itÍ s never far away.î
Filion, who entered the Navy on May 18, 1944, and received an honorable discharge March 10, 1946, spent time on a destroyer in the Atlantic Ocean.
His shipÍ s job was to escort a convoy of 100 American ships through submarine infested waters to ReykjavÕ k, Iceland.
“We had to destroy the subs before they could get to the fleet,” Filion said.Submarines werenÍ t the only threat, though.ñ There was one time when we hit an iceberg, and it put a big split in the ship,î Filion said. ñ That
was close. It put a crack in the bottom and we began taking on water.îThey made it back to Virginia, where the ship was welded and sent back out.Filion also served in Panama and the South Pacific ñ We were never told what was going on,î Filion said. ñ I donÍ t know how many days we were on
the water (in the South Pacific). We were waiting for the Enola Gay.”The Enola Gay, a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, was flown by Col. Paul Tibbets. The plane is
famous for dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.ñ I had switched ships from a destroyer to an assault ship,î Filion said. ñ We had 3000 marines
aboard when they dropped the atomic bomb. When that happened we went into a bay in Japan.î
Filion said that, once they surrendered, the Japanese troops were good to the American troops.
ñ The war was over,î Filion said. ñ They fought a war just like we did, I guess.î
Veterans on Honor Flights are accompanied by guard-ians, volunteers who make sure they have a safe trip.
FilionÍ s guardian was his daughter, Michelle Filion-Schon, who drove to Plattsburgh from Pottstown, Pa., to join her father on the flight.
ñ I think this could very well be the best day of both of our lives,î Filion-Schon said. ñ IÍ m so blessed to be there with him when he sees the memorial for the first time. This is the first time he’s ever been appreciated as a veteran.î
William H. Thompson, who also served with the U.S. Navy in World War II, enlisted in Albany on his 17th birthday in 1944.
After completing boot camp in Geneva, he was sent to San Diego for amphibious training, which meant he would be transporting troops for ships to land during battle.
ñ The USS is Navy, and the SS is merchant marines„ half Army and half Marines,î Thompson said. ñ The Army we dumped off in Okinawa, and the marines went to Hiroshima.î
Thompson said that, due to circumstances he was unaware of, his company was dropped off in Hiroshima too early.
ñ We werenÍ t supposed to be there yet, so we had to stay far enough off shore so we couldnÍ t be hit,î Thompson said. ñ Eventually we picked up a hospital ship and stayed there for a few days until it went back to Hiroshima. ThatÍ s when all hell broke loose.î
When Thompson finally finished in 1946, he had seen 18 months of sea duty in the Pacific.As the bus pulled up to the Albany Airport, Thompson went silent as he saw the hundreds of
people who were gathered there, waiting to greet the veterans.His silence was borne of appreciation.ñ This is really something,î he said. ñ I feel honored.îEach veteran exited the bus with his guardian, and each pair was met with a wave of enthusiasm
and, as Thompson had indicated, appreciation.They were treated like movie stars walking down the red carpet or, more appropriately, they
were treated like heroes who sacrificed their lives for the safety of others.ThompsonÍ s guardian, Plattsburgh State student Yohanna Mueller, was also moved by the turn-
out.ñ The fact that weÍ re honoring veterans in such a way shows me that Americans still care,î Muel-
ler said. ñ ItÍ s not political, itÍ s not about money or about whatÍ s right or wrong. ItÍ s just about what people want to do personally.î
In Albany, the North Country Honor Flight veterans were joined by the Leatherstocking Honor Flight of Cobbleskill, NY.
Together, the two groups brought about 55 veterans to Washington D.C.But before they boarded the plane, they were treated to a short send-off ceremony that included
a live Army band and several speeches. ñ ItÍ s heartwarming to know that so many people still care,î said North Country Honor Flight
Guardian Coordinator Kimberly Bouissey as she fought back tears. ñ These veterans havenÍ t been forgotten.î

The one that got away...Anyone who has ever spent time on the water has heard
the story about the big one that got away.And most anyone who spends much time fi shing,
has told a tale or two, sometime honestly, and surely a few that werenÍ t.
In all of my years, watching the action from the tail end of the boat; IÍ ve witnessed plenty of odd scenes.
I’ve watched fi sh break fi shing lines, and pop the hooks off a lure. I’ve seen two fi sh landed on a single lure use, with one hang-ing on each of the treble hook.
On several occasions, I’ve also seen a larger fi sh caught while reeling in a smaller fi sh. It happens more often than youÍ d think, especially with pike and largemouth bass.
IÍ ve had salmon that were hooked leap clear out of the water, and land in the boat, and I had one fellow who jumped out of the boat, when there was a 32 inch pike thrashing around on the fl oor in front of him.
Over the course of time, IÍ ve gotten to be pretty good with a landing net. IÍ ve scooped up many fi shing, as well as small dogs, a few kids and at least a thousand or so fi sh. I also used a really long handled net to dredge the lake bottom after the waves had washed all our beer out to sea. And it actually worked!
Whenever possible, I’ve attempted to let fi sh loose without using a net, and it’s usually an easy process, especially when using barbless hooks.
I simply hold onto the shaft of the hook and turn it upside down, and usually the fi sh will fall right off. Occasionally, IÍ ll use a pair of forceps, or needle nose pliers to remove a hook.
ItÍ s rarely a problem to extract a hook from bass, especially largemouth. IÍ ve caught bass that were large enough to allow me to stick my fi st in their maw.
I’ve also taken tiny little brookie fi ngerlings that were so delicate I dared not to touch them. I’d simply shake them off the barbless hook.
Get the net...what net? Hooking a fi sh is not the most diffi cult element of the
angling equation. It is a task that most anyone can mas-ter. Landing a fi sh is a bit tougher. Netting a fi sh, now that part can be an art.
Netting a fi sh can also be a very diffi cult task, espe-cially without a net. “Don’t tell me you forget the net!”, my friend proclaimed as I furiously began to fumble through my pack.
“Yeah, I did!”, I admitted as I labored to bring a big brook trout to the surface. I had been fi ghting with it for about fi ve minutes, and I still hadn’t been able to get it to the surface.
ñ What are you going to do?î , he asked. “Well, it’s too big to fi t in my hat, and I can’t shoot it;
so IÍ ll have to hand-land it.îFive hard fought minutes passed before I got a look at
it, and it was huge.!It was a large, slab-sided brook and I was struggling
to get it near the boat. Every time I got it close, it would dive for the depths and my drag would scream.
My line was just a 4-pound test monofi liment, and the trout appeared to be every ounce of that and maybe more.
My arm tired from the fi ght, and I was forced to trade hands several times.
Finally, the bruiser was slowing down and I got it to the surface.
With the fi rst look, my adrenaline kicked in and I worked hard to bring it alongside the boat. After a few more runs, it bellied up and I was able to gently grasp it by the gill plate, and toss it in the boat.
My friend was laughing so hard the entire boat was shaking, or maybe it was just the rush of adrenaline after seeing the size of the fi sh I had just caught.
Either way, I was happy, I had a meal to take home as in return for the long, hard portage, the swarms of blackfl ies, the muddy put-ins and all those long, steep hills. ItÍ s surprising how much pain can be forgotten in the brief euphoric moments that a trout is in hand.
We laughed and joked about the catch, and as soon as we were rigged, my friend tossed a line over the side. Almost instantly, he was into another giant brookie. It took line off his reel in strong diving runs, and he fought back.
He battled it, up and out of the water, down and all around. I spun the boat around several times to keep the fi sh away. My friend handled it well, and after a long, seesaw battle, he fi nally brought the brookie alongside the boat,
By this time, we had attracted an audience and another boater offered a net. We looked at each other, and the net was refused. He had to hand land the bruiser.
Gently, he cupped the big fi sh in his hands and tried to lift it in the boat. It was out of the water and almost in the boat when he dropped it back in the water. The fi sh sounded, stripping line off the reel in a steady ï zzz-zzzz,Í but the line held.
Less than a minute later (which is an eternity in an anxious angler Í s mind) the big boy was again back on the surface, and I quickly swung the boat around to bring the fi sh up along broadside.
Again, he brought the fi sh alongside the boat, and with his rod held high, he scooped it into the boat, launching it like a center hiking a football.
The big brookie landed on top of our packs, which were nearly an equal distance from both of us. And as we each reached to grab it, the big fi sh slapped hard on the pack and launched itself over the side. My friend looked aimlessly at the water, and in the boat, his rod still in hand and a bewildered look in his eyes.
We had a good laugh, and after a few more attempts we decided to pack out and head for home. Our fi sh story was complete, but a long journey lay ahead. And best of all, we had the photos to prove it.

I stopped to get my morning cup of hot black coffee. I always get coffee before I start out on a mission, whether itÍ s to get
hay, hauling gravel for my woods road, or go-ing fi shing. In my early years, I was a profes-sional, over the road, tractor-trailer driver out of western New York. Black coffee and ciga-rettes were a driver’s road companions! I gave up the butts. But, ñ they will have to pry my cof-fee cup from my cold dead hands if they want it.” I won’t give that up!
While getting my brew, a friend asked: ñ When are you going to write about helping me get my garden to grow?î The thought of com-post and planting crops has been rolling around in my mind lately, so here are some basics on earth management.
Geomorphology is the study of the earthÍ s land formations. The glaciers formed during a cooling period and became the major land craft-ing tool in our area. The ice sheets and melting runoff, ground off mountain tops, and scoured out the valleys.
As the earth warmed and the ice melted, large streams and lakes were formed. Streams carried soils and gravels and deposited them as the velocities slowed. Sediment in lakes settled to the bottom. As the ice disappeared, the rivers and lakes were reduced in size. Old shorelines and beaches, river outwash and gravel bars were formed. What we have now, are the rem-nants of that period.
Clays were formed in our area when it was covered in water. The fi ne, crushed and ground rocks from the glaciers settled to the bottom of the lake and are now clays. Glacial streams and eskers left deposits of sands and gravels, just like you see in todayÍ s streambeds. Old beaches, and the banks and mouths of ancient streams are where many sand deposits are today.
Moving water made the decision as to what was left behind. Fast currents carried the small-er particles and left the larger cobbles and boul-ders behind. Slower moving waters allowed the fi ner materials to settle out, just like you would see in the profi le of a stream today. The glaciers receded and the runoff made its way to the sea.
Eventually, vegetation started taking root in the material left behind, working its way up from the south. The cycle of life and death started the accumulation of organic material on the surface, just like the topsoil we have today.
Soils are composed of particles of stone, or-ganic matter and soil organisms.
The stone fraction is sand, silt, clay or a mix-ture of these. In our area, we also have cobbles and boulders, but IÍ m not considering them part of the garden soil, although if you drove by my place, boulders do pop out of the ground like dandelions every year! Clays are the fi nest stone particles, and then comes silts and fi nally sands. They are all stone, just different sizes. But that difference in size makes a considerable challenge as to how to manage them.
As a gardener, the topsoil is where you grow your plants, but the subsoil and material un-derneath make it easy or hard to manage. Now were back to sand, silt and clays again.
Sands are the larger particles so there are minute spaces between each grain of sand which allows excellent drainage. But, because of the large spaces, sands allow nutrients to leach out quickly. Heavy clays are the fi ne par-ticles of stone and have the opposite effect; they donÍ t drain well, but hold lots of nutrients. You canÍ t do much to change the soil type in your garden unless you want to mix sand in with the clays or vice versa.
You can add organic matter though. Organic matter in the form of manure, compost and plowed down cover crops add tilth to your gar-den soil. Tilth is the ability to hold water, add structure to the soil and make it crumble in your hands when you hold it and break it apart. The organic fraction in soil is what makes the clays easier to work and the sands hold mois-ture and nutrients.
Organic matter is the life blood of your soils. Organic matter holds the moisture during droughty periods. It also contains many of the micronutrients and is home to the soil organ-
isms. O r g a n i c
matter also has a high cation ex-change ca-pacity (CEC). The cation e x c h a n g e capacity is what holds the nutrients to organic matter and soil particles so they can be used by the plants. Cations are positively charged and are the base elements like calcium, magnesium and potassium. When cations are defi cient in soils, they become acidic.
The pH (potential hydrogen) of a soil is the measure of acidity or alkalinity. A pH of 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic or low in cations and above 7 is alkaline. Nutrients become more available to plants when the pH is around 6.3 to 6.8. That doesnÍ t mean you need to have your soil in that pH range. You need to know what the plants you want to grow prefer.
Blueberries prefer a more acid soil and alfalfa likes a higher pH. Limestone is added to raise the pH. Limestone is composed of calcium; a cation. ThatÍ s why dairy farmers who grow al-falfa have the lime trucks spreading the white dust every once in a while. The white dust is ground up limestone rock, which is fi ne in tex-ture so it reacts quickly. Limestone is high in calcium adding cations to the soil, so the pH is raised to meet the plant requirements.
Anions are the negatively charged nutrients like nitrogen. They can be easily lost to the at-mosphere or to leaching. Most of these elements come from the decomposition of organic mate-rial by soil microbes and are released in acidic solutions with water. Chemical fertilizer such as ammonium nitrate, or decaying grasses and clovers, release nitrogen to the soil for plant roots to take up in solution.
So if you want to improve your garden you need to make sure you have the right pH and soil nutrients. The best way to fi nd out what is in your soil and what is needed for your plants, is to get a soil test.
Drainage and aeration are also important to growing plants. Too much water saturates the soil and doesnÍ t let oxygen in to break down or-ganic matter to release nutrients. Too much nat-ural drainage like gravel soils would have and plants may need irrigation during droughty periods.
For small gardens drainage is usually not an issue, but for large farms, saturated soils can re-duce crop production by tons per acre.
Large commercial farm operations get the nutrients they need from commercial fertilizers, plowed down sod and animal manures.
If you are striving for an organic approach, plowed down grasses and clovers add organic matter and allow the slow release of nutrients during the decomposition process. Compost is an excellent source of nutrients for organic production of vegetable and fruit crops. Animal manures and vegetative waste that are compos-ted provide a slow release of nutrients to your plants and provide tilth.
I must express a word of caution, about using fresh manure. When fresh manure is added to a garden it may cause a temporary loss of nitro-gen. The soil microbes use the nitrogen for their growth. As they die off the nitrogen is released back to the soil. Fresh manure can also draw insects, so compost it fi rst to help stabilize the nutrients and to kill off weed seeds.
Cover crops are used by both commercial farmers and organic farms. Cover crops such as winter rye and wheat are planted while a crop is growing by aerial means or after a crop is harvested in the fall. The plants are allowed to grow throughout the fall until dormancy from winter. In spring growth begins again, and the soil nutrients are taken up by the roots of the growing plant, saving them from leach-ing away. The rye or wheat is then plowed or roto-tilled into the soil and allowed to start the decomposition process again. The nutrients are recycled in the soil by plant to soil and back to another plant.
If you have ever walked a plowed fi eld of clay and had those sticky clays cling to your boots making them heavy and hard to walk, you are what were called in the depression years, a clod hopper!
So to all you clod hoppers out there who want to improve your garden: fi rst, make sure drainage and aeration are good, get a soil test, adjust the pH for your crops, and then add fer-tilizer and organic matter.
From one clod hopper to another, you now get to enjoy the independence of growing your own crops for food, just like the professional farmers do.
Good eating to all!

Gibson BrothersFrom page 1
Sierra Hull, until the brothers choose WalshÍ s replacement. Adam Steffey will also be playing mandolin with the Gibsons and was with them this week at Bluegrass & BBQ in Branson, Mo.
ñ We are using different award-winning mandolin players for the next month,î Leigh said in an email. ñ I wanted to make sure we had a quality performer with us while we decided who would take over the job without rushing to a decision. While you can never be certain someone will be the right answer for the long term, giving ourselves time to find the next player can only help make a better call.î
Using a variety of mandolin players takes the pressure off of finding a full-time player right away, according to Leigh, who expects to have a new member in place by July.
ñ But for now IÍ m having fun getting to know and work with some incredible pickers,î Leigh said.
The performance in Old Forge was a homecoming of sorts for the Gibson Brothers, who were playing to a crowd of longtime fans and paddlers. Old Forge is on the southern end of their home turf in New YorkÍ s Adirondack Park and hosted the an-nual Paddlefest this past weekend.
Both Clayton Campbell on the fiddle and Mike Barber on up-right bass joined Eric and Leigh. Campbell has been with the Gibsons for nine years, and Barber for 20.
ñ Because of that, we allowed him this year to get married,î Leigh said of Barber, who also co-produces albums with the brothers. ñ So heÍ s going to do that this fall.î
Their set began with ñ Help My Brother,î title track to the 2011 IBMA Album of the Year. It was followed by a collection of songs from past albums, such as ñ Safe Passage,î ñ The Open Road,î ñ Farm of Yesterday,î ñ Dreams That End Like This,î ñ Just LovinÍ You,î ñ Red Letter Day,î and ñ WalkinÍ West to Memphis.î It also featured music from their new album, including ñ The Darker the Night, the Better I See,î ñ Dying for Someone to Live For,î ñ Buy a Ring, Find a Preacher,î and the title track and the GibsonÍ s cur-rent No. 1 hit, ñ They Called It Music,î which Eric co-wrote with Joe Newberry.
ñ There arenÍ t really singles in bluegrass music. Deejays play whatever they like to play,” Leigh said during the concert, filling the time while Eric tuned his banjo. ñ This is the one theyÍ re play-ing the most, so itÍ s kind of the song thatÍ s charting for us. I canÍ t believe it; IÍ ve written things for the record, and theyÍ re not really charting. But this one of EricÍ s is. Maybe thereÍ s still some payola out in the world EricÍ s using up.î
Leigh told a story about the songÍ s beginning and how New-berry, of Raleigh, N.C., once spent some time picking with an elderly banjo player up in the hills.
ñ And he asked him, ï This style of playing that you do, when you were playing it years ago, did they call it country music, did they call it bluegrass, folk, old time, whatÍ d they call it?Í And the fellow said, ï Son, they called it music,Í î Leigh said. ñ Two months later, a lightning bolt finally clicked with Eric. It took him a while to figure it out. He said, ‘There’s a song in that.’ So he wrote it.”
Eric also wrote the album’s final track, “Songbird’s Song,” which was the result of a three-day insomnia attack when the Gibson Brothers traveled to Denmark in 2012.
“When we first got there, I was so tired,” Eric said on stage. ñ I said, ï IÍ m just going to take a little nap.Í And he (Leigh) said, ï DonÍ t do it.Í He said, ï YouÍ re going to mess yourself up. DonÍ t do it.Í And I said, ï DonÍ t tell me what to do.Í And he was right. I slept about four hours or so.î
ñ He was walking the streets of Denmark,î Leigh added. ñ He knew where every hot dog stand was in Copenhagen.î
The Old Forge concert was co-sponsored by Saratoga Guitar, operated by longtime musical friend Matt McCabe, of Saratoga Springs. Their encore performance was ñ Holding Things Togeth-er,î a tribute to Merle Haggard and symbolic of how the Gibson Brothers are getting along without Joe Walsh during their 2013 tour.
