It’s that time of year when Santa Clauscan be seen traveling through the NorthCountry — on the Canadian Pacific Hol-iday Train.
The Holiday Train will be making itsway through the region next week, mak-ing stops from Rouses Point to Scranton,Pa., collecting food and money for localfood shelves and offering some enter-tainment at the same time.
Michael LoVecchio, a representativefor Canadian Pacific, said the HolidayTrain program has helped raise morethan $4 million and collect 2 millionpounds of food since it began in 1999.
“When we started the Holiday Trainprogram 11 years ago, the thought waswe wanted a way for company employ-ees to make a difference in the communi-ties where they live,” explained LoVec-chio.
The enthusiasm employees had for theidea was overwhelming, he added, withreaction in the communities equally asamazing.
“It’s very rewarding for CP employeesto be able to do this, to be able to bringthe Holiday Train to their communities,”
said LoVecchio, “because, at the end ofthe day, these people are their neighbors.It’s nice to be able to do something forthem.”
Each year, the Holiday Train stops andopens its boxcar stage for performancesby various well-known recording artists.This year, Shaun Verreault, best known asthe lead vocalist and guitarist for theCanadian band Wide Mouth Mason, willreturn for a repeat performance. Ver-reault will be joined by contemporaryAmerican folk musician Willy Porter;Canadian singer and songwriter AdamPuddington; and Prescott, a brother andsister duo featuring third-generationCanadian musicians Kaylen and KellyPrescott.
During each stop, the community is en-couraged to bring donations for their lo-cal food shelf. Canadian Pacific thenpresents the donations and a check to thenonprofit organizations.
“Demand for food pantry services isway up, so we’re asking Holiday Trainfans, as they do every year, to come downand to please be generous in their dona-tions to their local food shelves,” saidLoVecchio.
The stop in Rouses Point will benefitthe food shelf at St. Patrick’s Church onLake Street. The only other stop in Clin-
ton County — the Amtrak station inPlattsburgh — will benefit the JointCouncil for Economic Opportunities ofClinton and Franklin Counties, which op-erates outreach centers throughout theNorth Country.
The Holiday Train’s first stop will be atthe Amtrak station on Pratt Street inRouses Point on the night of Thanksgiv-ing, Thursday, Nov. 26. The train is sched-uled to stop at approximately 11 p.m. Thetrain will continue on to stops in Penn-sylvania and southern New York beforereturning to the North Country Monday,Nov. 30. On that day, the train will makestops in Saratoga Springs, Fort Edward,Whitehall, Ticonderoga and Port Henrybefore making its last stop at the Amtrakstation in Plattsburgh at approximately9:15 p.m.
In addition to the train visiting theNortheast, Canadian Pacific will alsohave Holiday Trains visiting more than130 communities throughout the Mid-west and Canada through mid-Decem-ber.

Over the past few months, I’ve shareda lot of the best secrets for saving onyour grocery bill with coupons. But
are you ready for one of the biggest secrets ofall? Even more surprisingly, this one does notinvolve a single coupon.
The day of the week we shop makes a hugedifference how much money we can save
To understand this tip, consider this: Manygrocery stores run two sales cycles each week.One flier comes out on Thursday and runs forseven days. This is the “long” cycle, which runsThursday-to-Wednesday. But the same storesoften have a second sales flier that comes out onSundays and runs for four days. This is the “short” cycle,which runs Sunday-to-Wednesday.
Now, look at a calendar and pay attention to the days. Thereare four days each week when both cycles and sales fliersoverlap: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If yourstore participates in two sales cycles, these are the days youwant to shop in order to maximize your savings. By shoppingMonday through Wednesday, you gain the advantage of twoconcurrent sales rather than just one.
Why do stores do this? Look at the remaining three days inthe week: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These are busy daysfor a grocery store. Statistically speaking, they’re also thedays people are most likely to shop without much fore-thought. The weekend is approaching, the workweek is al-most done and people head to the store. By contrast, whenSunday rolls around and the new week arrives, store trafficdrops off. The store issues more sales and more deals on thosedays in order to drive traffic back into the store. These are thedays we want to shop!
People often ask me how many times I’m at the grocerystore during the week (I can’t imagine why, but many peopleare under the impression that I practically live there!) Thetruth is much less exciting. I really do shop just once a week.
But I always shop on one of the days whenboth sales fliers are active.
Another reason to shop earlier in the weekis stores will raise prices on many items lat-er in the week. My store recently had a saleon a brand-name cereal. At $1.25 a box, itwas already a great price; with a $1 coupon,I took it home for a quarter. That sale ranSunday through Wednesday. On Thursday,the same cereal was still on “sale,” but thenew sale price? $2.50 a box. The price dou-bled in one day! This is one of those hiddenlittle games the stores play, too. The sameitems may be on sale, but the sale price is alot less attractive as the higher-traffic shop-
ping days approachIf you never clipped a single coupon, you would save a
great deal of money just by shopping earlier in the week. If Ihad purchased my cereal on Thursday instead of Wednesday,I would have paid twice the price! Now, think about manyother items in the grocery store take similar jumps in pricesas the end of the week nears, and you’ll see why it makes senseto shop on the days the sales overlap.
If you need even more convincing, consider what happenswhen the same product is on sale in both sales fliers. I’ve seencrackers on sale for $1.99 in the long-cycle flier while in theshort cycle flier, the same crackers were on sale Buy One, GetOne Free! The smart shopper who is in the store on the daysthat the sales overlap, will not only get the crackers for $1.99,they’ll take home a second package for free. And if they usea coupon on each box ... Oh, the possibilities!

It’s that time of the year again, the gathering for theThanksgiving holiday and the plotting for a successfulBlack Friday shopping extravaganza. By leveraging
the technology at our finger tips, savvy shoppers can gainthe upper hand.
Everyone grabs the newspaper flyer and now quite a fewvisit the retailer ’s Web site for information. Another methodis a simple visit to the retailer asking what the deals will be.An all-in-one resource is the Black Friday Web site, whichclaims to be “…the official site for all of the 2009 Black Fri-day ads…” Find the site at www.blackfriday.info.
The best electronics deals this year are reported to be onnetbooks, low-end laptops, televisions and peripherals likeBlu-ray and other players. There’s no doubt some great dealscan be found but, given the nature of crash and dash BlackFriday, the browsing time is zilch so preparation is key.
Once the deals are found, take the time to investigate afew days ahead of time to determine if the item is goodenough quality to meet the need. This is especially impor-tant if a gigantic TV is on the wish list. Understand thehookup in the store and consider if the hookup at home issimilar. Know the clarity on the set is driven by the input,so ask the associate to explain how the set in the store is con-
nected and ask to view othercontent. If the sets are play-ing Blu-ray at 1080p resolu-tion, ask to see 720p high-definition or standard con-tent.
While Black Friday offerssome good deals, historydemonstrates retailers gen-erally put out the lower-costitems that day. Brick andmortar shoppers wantingmore feature-rich productsmay do better in the final twoshopping weeks or switchingto an on-line retailer.

You may have beennoticing how muchmore we, as a com-
munity, are urged to buy lo-cal. Some of these reasons in-clude getting to know yourlocal farmers, experiencingfoods selected for flavor in-stead of shelf life, and bol-stering the local economy.Now as the warmth of sum-mer has faded and the firstsigns of winter are makingtheir annual appearances,most farm stands and farm-ers markets have closed for the season, leav-ing you to wonder where you can acquire lo-cally-produced foods?
Since we do not live in a climate that al-lows produce to be grown year-round, itwould be impossible to find certain types oflocally-grown produce such as fresh straw-berries in January. But, you can find someproduce that has been grown under high-tunnels, protective row covers, or in green-houses through the end of November andstarting in the late winter/very early spring.More and more growers in our area are real-izing the benefits of investing in season ex-tension and as a result, we can purchasefresh salad greens long after the fall frost haskilled our garden grown greens and long be-fore we could ever get our greens into ourgardens in the spring.
In addition to season extension, there isquite a bit of local produce that can be stored
and eaten throughout thewinter. Our apple growersstore apples in cold storage,allowing area residents theopportunity to eat local ap-ples throughout the winter.Vegetables such as carrots,winter squash, potatoes,turnip, cabbage, rutabaga,onion, and garlic can all bestored in a cool, dark envi-ronment for a few months.Farmers store this producethroughout the winter andcontinue to sell to local com-
munity members. More and more grocery stores, especially
locally owned markets, are purchasing atleast a portion of their products from localfarmers and producers. Many of these storeowners will advertise what produce is local,making it easy to identify as locally grown.Adirondack Harvest, a not-for-profit organ-ization dedicated to local foods, helps con-nect consumers with producers.
To find out what stores in your area carrylocally produced foods visit www.adiron-dackharvest.com.

PERU — The Champlain ValleyBusiness and ProfessionalWomen’s Club has named its hon-orees for Employer of the Year andBusiness Woman of the Year.
High Peaks Dental and Julie A.Kramer were given the recogni-tion, respectively, during a cere-mony at Cricket’s Restaurant Oct.27.
High Peaks Dental, with prac-tices in Lake Placid and Platts-burgh, was nominated by Made-line R. Morrissey, Westport, whoserves as office manager. Morris-sey credited Drs. Michael T. O’-Connor, William P. Caldon, andDonnon “D.J.” O’Neill for being re-sponsive to her needs as an em-ployee. She particularly referred toher experience after suffering astroke in April 2003, which result-ed in her being hospitalized atMassachusetts General Hospital inBoston, Mass.
“The support I received from thedoctors was overwhelming,” Mor-rissey wrote in her nomination let-ter. “They were flexible with myschedule and they went above andbeyond to accommodate my needs.I truly feel the obstacles that theyhelped me overcome helped me inmy recovery.”
The doctors also emphasize theimportance of continuing educa-tion and encourage their employsto do so when possible, she added.Morrissey had a General Educa-tional Development (GED) certifi-cate when she started at HighPeaks Dental, but, with help fromthe doctors, she went back to highschool and received her diplomaand has begun attending continu-ing education courses and attend-ed business and professional train-ing.
The dedication to their employ-ees also extends to their patients,Morrissey continued. The doctorscontinue to strive for being on thecutting edge of dentistry to pro-vide better service for them, shenoted. Their commitment also ledto the founding of Dentistry fromthe Heart NY, an organization
which has provided $40,000 in freedental care to adults in need in theNorth Country. The practice alsogoes to local schools and healthfairs emphasizing the importanceof dental health.
“I strongly believe that HighPeaks Dental exemplifies the traitsthat BPW recognizes as outstand-ing in an employer,” wrote Morris-sey.
Caldon said he and his col-leagues were honored to learnHigh Peaks Dental was selected asEmployer of the Year.
“It was very moving. We wereextremely flattered,” said Caldon.
“We’re thrilled we’ve been recog-nized for taking care of the peoplewho work for us. I guess a lot oftimes you don’t know the impactthat you have on people.”
“This is really an inspiration todo even more for the people whowork for us,” he added. “It was re-ally nice to be recognized.”
Kramer, who serves as vice pres-ident of Nine Platt HospitalityGroup — owners of the Best West-ern hotel in Plattsburgh andGround Round restaurants inPlattsburgh and Burlington, Vt.—was surprised with her recognitionas Business Woman of the Year.
She was in attendance for thedinner under the impression theaward was to be given to herfriend, Faith M. Osborne Long, re-gional director of the AmericanHeart Association. As the letters ofnomination were read, Kramer wasstill under that impression untilthe nominations — which are tra-ditionally read using “this person”or “the nominee” in place of theperson’s actual name — mentionedher service in the Army Reserves.
“I realized then they weren’ttalking about Faith,” said Kramer,laughing.
Kramer ’s name was announced
and her husband, Rocky, and son,Dalton, emerged from a separateroom with more of Kramer ’s fami-ly and friends.
“It was a surprise,” said Kramer.“I was shocked. They really got mepretty good.”
One of the nominations readduring the dinner was actuallywritten by Osborne Long, whocredited Kramer for being “a rolemodel for women who, throughher example and leadership, makesboth the business where she worksand the North County communitya better place for all of us.”
Osborne Long also creditedKramer for her support of organi-zations such as the United Way ofClinton and Essex Counties andthe Make-A-Wish Foundation andcauses such as the PlattsburghHeart Walk and Go Red forWomen. Kramer has also been ableto motivate Nine Platt HospitalityGroup’s more than 100 employeeson both sides of Lake Champlain toget involved in their communitiesas well.
“I enjoy giving back to the com-munity and, most of all, I enjoy en-gaging our employees to assist mein that,” said Kramer, who servesas the 2009 Go Red for Womenchairperson. “It’s nice, becausethrough organizations like Go Redfor Women, the Heart Walk, theUnited Way, they can give back tothe community and it makes themfeel good.”
“Julie Kramer manages to fitmore into her day than often seemshumanly possible for one woman,but if you ask her to do somethingshe will get it done, and often be-fore deadline,” Osborne Longwrote, adding Kramer is “a per-sonal role model for me of what abusiness woman, mother, friendand community member shouldbe.”
What’s Kramer ’s secret to get-ting everything done?
“I’ve always pushed myself. It’sjust the way I grew up,” she said.“I don’t look for this type of recog-nition. I do what I do every day be-cause it’s a natural thing for me.It’s just something that came frommy family.”

PERU — Roy E. Perry considers himself “justan ordinary guy giving blood.” However, to theNorth Country Regional Blood Donor Center, he’smuch more.
The donor center located in Plattsburgh hosteda ceremony Nov. 18 naming Perry as the newestinductee to the Donation Hall of Fame, an annu-al honor bestowed by Fenwal Blood Technologieswhich recognizes those who have “demonstratedan extraordinary commitment to blood dona-tion.”
The 77-year-old was nominated by the bloodcenter administration for his “loyalty to being ablood donor over the years,” said lead phle-botomist Martha Algier.
“You fill the room with your cheerful personal-ity and with your great outlook on life. you’re atrue inspiration,” said Algier.
Shaun Debold, a representative from Fenwal,congratulated Perry for his dedication to givingblood, adding the hall of fame was established torecognize commitment like his in donating blood.
“Roy, you certainly personify that in every wayfrom all that I have heard,” said Algier.
“You’ve done so much for our patients here andwe just want to say thanks and congratulations,”added Stephens M. Mundy, chief executive offi-cer of CVPH Medical Center, which oversees op-eration of the blood donor center.
Since 1996, Perry has donated 152 pints, or 19gallons, to the North Country Regional BloodDonor Center. However, Perry said his donatingdates back much further.
“I started donating back in college,” said Per-ry, who graduated from college in 1954. “Then, Idonated while I was in the Marine Corps.”
Perry would be a donor today had he not beendiagnosed with cancer earlier this year. His con-dition makes him ineligible to donate until he hasbeen declared cancer-free for five years.
“By then, I’ll be 82,” Perry exclaimed, addinghe’d still like to donate then if he’s able. “Theworst thing about finding out I have cancer is thatI can’t give blood.”
Though he can’t donate, Perry isn’t resting onhis laurels. He’s found a new way to help theblood donor center by being an advocate forblood donation, encouraging people to give “the
gift of life.”“I always say that you have the gift of life run-
ning through your veins,” said Perry. “It doesn’tcost anything to give and you could help savesomeone’s life.”
Perry’s recognition included receiving a glassaward and being featured in a 2010 calendar cre-ated to honor dedicated blood donors.

Interested communitymembers and area farmerswill have the opportunity totalk with farmer BethSpaugh and horticulture ed-ucator Anne Lenox Barlowabout and see first-handhow greens are producedduring our winter months.
PERU — The Peru LionsClub has celebrated a tradi-tional holiday for the last 32years in an untraditional way.
Every Thanksgiving, thenonprofit community serviceorganization steps away fromthe tradition of football,turkey and relaxation andtakes part in something a lit-tle different — The John P.Adams Memorial TurkeyTrot.
“[Adams] was a runnerhimself,” said co-founderLarry Ewald. “He was inter-ested in it and thought itwould be a good thing for theLions Club to get behind.”
Today, the race sees nearly400 competitors from allaround the North Countryand beyond. Racers begin atPeru Intermediate School andcan compete in a one-mile funrun, a 5-kilometer or a 10-kilometer race, throughout alocal orchard.
“I think running is gettingto be more popular thesedays,” Ewald said. “As a re-sult, I think people look for-ward to it.”
Ewald has found some peo-ple have competed in theTurkey Trot nearly every yearsince it began.
“We’ve had these TurkeyTrots in driving snow storms.Yet the people still show up,”laughed Ewald.
Every year, the race begins
at 9 a.m., yet Ewald is urgingpeople this year to show upwell in advance.
“Always at 9 a.m. we’ve gota line,” Ewald said. “Peopletrying to squeeze in there.”
Ewald believes one of thereasons the Turkey Trot hasbecome such a tradition is be-cause it’s a time for people toget out and socialize withtheir neighbors.
“A lot of these people don’tsee each other all year,”Ewald said.
Another aspect of the racethat keeps it so traditional, isit never changes.
“It’s pretty much the sameeach year,” Ewald explained.“I think we’ve run the sameset up probably the last 10years. It’s pretty definite. Peo-ple ... seem to enjoy the factthat it is carried out the sameway each year.”
The entry fee for the 5- and10-kilometer racers is $15 andthe fun run entry fee is $5. Thewinner of each race will re-ceive a turkey and a trophy.There will also be turkeys raf-fled off to those interested.Other prizes will be raffled offat random to anyone enteredin one of the three races.
The fun run begins at 9a.m., with the 5- and 10-kilo-meter races immediately fol-lowing. Sign-up begins at 7:30a.m. at the Peru IntermediateSchool cafeteria.
For more information con-tact Ewald at 643-8506 or JimMcCarty at 561-1572.

PLATTSBURGH — The SalvationArmy of Plattsburgh kicked off itsannual Red Kettle Campaign dur-ing a press conference at Cham-plain Centre Nov. 12.
Capt. Laurence Goodman, direc-tor of the local Salvation Armychapter, said bellringers will nowbe out in force throughout the re-gion accepting donations towardsthe Christian-basednonprofit organiza-tion. The donationsreceived will helpfurther the SalvationArmy’s work locallyof offering outreachservices in Clintonand Essex countieswhich include emer-gency housing, clothing, food, pre-scriptions and fuel. The fundingwill also help offer educational,recreational and spiritual programsfor young children and teenagers.
Goodman said taking into ac-count the recent announcement bypharmaceutical manufacture PfizerInc. to close it facilities in ClintonCounty by mid-2011, in addition toan already uncertain national econ-omy, the need is greater than ever.However, he added he’s optimisticif people fall on hard times, the Sal-vation Army will be there to help.
“Last year, we had a roughly 22percent increase in requests forservices,” said Goodman. “We metthe request and that’s solely be-cause of our kettle campaigns and
generous donations.”Goodman said he feels the organ-
ization is already off to a good startfollowing the receipt of a grantfrom Target this summer. The grantprovided $30,000 to the local Salva-tion Army chapter to assist with itsservices — the cost of which wouldotherwise have been drawn fromthe organization’s coffers.
However, the organization has al-ready lost one of its kettle sites with
the anticipated closureof the Bourgeois IGA inKeeseville.
“When we lose a ket-tle site, that can trans-late into thousands ofdollars,” said Good-man.
Plattsburgh Town Su-pervisor Bernard C.
Bassett said when taking into ac-count any negative factors in the lo-cal economy it shows the need forpeople to contribute to charitieslike the Salvation Army is evengreater.
“Every year we need help,” saidBassett. “And, maybe this year,more than ever, there are extra peo-ple who need the help, that haven’tin the past; maybe some familiesthat aren’t used to looking for re-sources.”
Businesses, private citizens andmunicipalities working togetherwill help see those needs are met,Bassett added.
“Together it happens,” said Bas-sett. “And, I’m confident it willhappen again this year.”
Bellringers to be out in force seeking donations
This story was first posted on-line Nov. 12 at 4:45 p.m., at www.clinton-today.com
FIRST ON FIRST ON THE NETTHE NET
Statistically speaking, Americans are extremely generous. Consider thefact that in 2008, charitable giving in the United States exceeded $300billion for the second year in a row — despite the fact many people in
every part of the country are feeling the strains of recession and job loss.One of the reasons charitable giving has remained strong is the variety of op-
tions that exist for giving and the fact many donations can be taken as tax de-ductions. Here are some of the most common — and most convenient — waysto give:
• Write a check — Traditionally, this has been the most common way to do-nate. Many organizations hold annual fundraising campaigns through the mailor the media, and writing a check once or more each year is still convenient formany people. It’s important to make sure, however, the organization you’resupporting is legitimate. Never send money to an organization you’re not fa-miliar with or whose solicitation materials are suspect.
• The gift of goods — Many people donate their used or unwanted items tocharities, thrift shops, schools or shelters. These donations are typically tax-deductible, so be sure to ask for a receipt.
• Shop for a cause — Today, an increasing number of purchases can supportcharitable causes, from name-brand products linked to charitable organiza-tions, such as the Product(Red) items from Apple, the Gap, Starbucks, and oth-er major retailers that trigger donations to fight AIDS in Africa; to brand-spe-cific programs, such as the commitment by TOMS Shoes to give away a pair ofshoes to a child in need for every pair it sells.
• Make a microloan — A number of organizations have been established inrecent years that specialize in microlending — the making of small loans to in-dividuals or small groups in impoverished areas to encourage entrepreneur-ship. Kiva (www.kiva.org) is among the best known and most successful mi-crolending organizations worldwide.
• One-stop giving — Network for Good is an exciting and convenient re-source for making charitable donations online. The organization’s Web site(www.networkforgood.org) allows you to research and give to any of 1.5 mil-lion charities. The site also stores your donation history for tax purposes andkeeps a list of your favorite charities.

ty,” added Plattsburgh City MayorDonald M. Kasprzak, who joinedBassett in making the first dona-tions to this year ’s campaign. “Iam so proud to be associated everyyear with the Salvation Army.They are a tremendous organiza-tion ... They just make the NorthCountry a better place.”
Bellringers are again needed thisyear, said Goodman, with those in-terested in volunteering their timeurged to contact the local Salva-tion Army office at 561-2951. Vol-unteers can also call The Red Ket-tle Center anytime toll-free at 1-877-764-7259, or by going on-lineto www.redkettles.org and fillingout a volunteer form on-line.
• Where there’s a will, there’s a way — Many people designate gifts to char-ity in their wills. These bequests can be in the form of a specific amount of mon-ey, a portion of an estate, a particular asset, a trust or the naming of an organ-ization as a beneficiary. Wills can also specify how the donation is to be used,such as for a specific program, for scholarship or endowment funds or for usein a particular geographic region.
Other items to donate• Vehicles — Many charitable organizations will accept donations of cars in
almost any condition— running or not. Typically, these organizations will pickup the cars, sell them and use the proceeds to fund their programs. Not onlycan donating an old car be easier than selling it yourself, but you can claim thecar ’s value as a tax deduction.
• Computers and other tech gear — Many charitable and nonprofit organi-zations, particularly schools and religious organizations, will accept donationsof computers, fax machines, printers and other tech gear if they are still use-able.
• Food — Donations of canned or packaged goods can be made to local foodbanks and shelters. On the Feeding America Web site (www.feedingameri-ca.org) prospective donors can find a food bank in your community, volunteeropportunities and ways to donate money to combat hunger.
• Pet supplies — The Humane Society (www.hsus.org) can put prospectivedonors in touch with animal shelters in your area that would welcome dona-tions of unopened pet food and items such as cages, food/water bowls andleashes.
• Eyeglasses — Your old eyeglasses can be recycled for use by people in need.Groups such as Lions Clubs can recycle an old pair of eyeglasses for as littleas eight cents each. Ask if there is a Lions Club collection box in your com-munity. Old eyeglasses can also be dropped off at any Goodwill Industries col-lection site and LensCrafters store.
• Musical instruments — Give the gift of music to a child by donating yourold musical instruments to a local school. Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation(www.mhopus.org) will refurbish instruments and donate them to under-funded school music programs.

just Italian, it isn’t just French cuisine. It’s a lit-tle bit of everything,” said Nephew. “Someonecould come in and have a pizza and someonecould come in and have surf and turf, all at thesame table. So, there’s something for every-one.”
When the national economy began seeingsigns of distress last year, Nephew said she did-n’t know what to expect. However, by offeringa menu where a family of four can dine for lessthan $20, Cricket’s has been able to avoid feel-ing the pinch some businesses have seen in therecession.
“We really haven’t seen that many effects[from the recession],” said Nephew. “I thinkthat’s because we’re so diverse in what we of-fer and because we make it affordable enoughfor families to be able to go out once a week oronce a month without having to bring their en-tire savings for dining.”
Having nightly specials — like ones for sen-ior citizens Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays— has also helped business, Nephew said.
“Seniors can get an all-inclusive meal onthose days that has a smaller portion, but comeswith a beverage and our dessert of the day. It’sjust enough for them but they get everything,and it’s affordable,” said Nephew.
And, offering a children’s menu that has sta-ples like hamburgers and macaroni and cheese,makes a difference, Nephew added.
“You’ve got to have mac and cheese on themenu. You just have to,” she said with a laugh.
What’s also helped Cricket’s become a main-
stay in the community has been its banquetroom. The ability to accommodate large partiesand host receptions has drawn people from notonly Peru, but other communities as well, saidNephew.
“We host banquets for places like CV-Tec andmost of the local credit unions,” said Nephew.“December is also our busiest month because ofthe holiday gatherings, office parties, tradi-tional family dinners we do. There’s alwayssomething going on in the banquet room.”
Though having the right facility and the rightmenu makes up for a good portion of drawingcustomers, said Nephew, it’s developing strongbonds with them that creates repeat business.
“We have some customers that, when theycome in, they have to sit at a certain booth andif it’s not available, they wait,” Nephew saidwith a smile. “We have a tremendous amountof customers who’ve really become our friends.And, with some of them it feels like they’re partof our family now.”
Terry and Shawn Lydamore of Lewis havebeen coming to Cricket’s since the businessopened and said it’s been the friendly faces andinviting atmosphere that has kept them comingback ever since.
“When you come here, you feel like you’re athome,” said Shawn Lydamore, as she and herhusband attended an anniversary party forCricket’s Nov. 15.
“It’s not like a franchise,” added her hus-band. “They’re fantastic people and they do allsorts of things for the community.”
Nephew said she feels giving back to thecommunity — whether it’s purchasing equip-ment for the Peru Central School District, spon-soring local sports teams or collecting dona-tions for the local food shelf — only makessense.
“It’s important to us, because without them,without our customers, we wouldn’t have abusiness,” said Nephew.
That sense of community is what draws cus-tomers like the Lydamores back to a businessthey say is more than the typical chain restau-rant.
“They’re good people and, more important,they’re good friends,” said Shawn Lydamore.
What’s next for Cricket’s? Nephew said thebusiness will begin catering for Harmony GolfCourse in Port Kent next year.
“The purveyors of the golf course, who arefriends of ours, approached us about the ideaand we felt the timing was just right,” saidNephew. “We’ve wanted to get into cateringand this was a great way to start. We’ve alreadygot two weddings booked there. We’re excited.”
Nephew said she doesn’t know what else isin store for the next 10 years, but said she plansto continue offering Cricket’s patrons the samefriendly service and affordable dining they’vegrown accustomed to and plans on makingmore friends.
“We’re just going to continue doing whatwe’re doing,” said Nephew. “Hopefully we’rehere for a long, long time.”

more than a year, though the discussion and efforts to relo-cate the CCPT offices and garage date back to 2002, saidBrown.
After overcoming several obstacles, the project has final-ly come to fruition, said Clinton County Legislature Chair-man James R. Langley Jr., R-Area 7.
“The transformation is stunning,” said Langley.The overall price tag for development of the new facility
came in at just under $3 million, said Langley. The majori-ty of the cost was covered by a $1.6 million American Re-covery and Reinvestment Act grant and a $1.2 million Fed-eral Transit Agency matching grant, of which the countyshare was $140,000. Additionally, the Plattsburgh AirbaseRedevelopment Corporation leased the property to thecounty at no cost until the title of the property was trans-ferred to the county this week. The cost of the property it-self was $1.
“Dollar for dollar, it’s almost as good a buy for the localtaxpayers as the old airport building that we overlook,”Langley said, referring to the investment made in the de-velopment of Plattsburgh International Airport. “I know Ispeak for all of the legislators on the transportation com-mittee when I tell you they are very proud of this building.”
“Clinton County Public Transit is a great success,” saidstate DOT representative Stephanie Mielnik, “and with thisgarage, I can see it having much more success in the future.”
The CCPT began its operation Feb. 14, 1983, then knownas the Clinton Area Rural Transit, or CART, system. Theservice began with three 12-passenger vans traveling fromthe city to rural locations and averaged 7,215 passengers ayear. The operation has since expanded to its fleet of 16 bus-es which includes two senior and two paratransit buses. Theservice consists of three intracity routes and rural routes toRouses Point, Champlain, Mooers, Churbusco, Ausable,Riverview, Standish, Peru and other locations annuallyserving approximately 150,000 passengers.

Gerald Dabiew Jr.said he feels luckyto be alive after a
near 20-minute battle with a10-point buck last Fridayduring which he was re-peatedly slammed to theground by the powerful ani-mal.
“I have never been soscared in all my life,” the56-year-old said about theharrowing ordeal that tran-spired near his remotehome in Moira — a smallcommunity at the northern tip of theAdirondack Park outside Malone.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in mylife,” Dabiew said in a low voice, thenadded “... and I never want to see itagain.”
Dabiew said the story unfolded as hewas collecting firewood along a log roadbehind his home. It was early afternoonand clear skies made the job more bearable
as he tossed small chunks ofwood into the bucket of askid steer he owns.
A lifelong native of Moira,Dabiew said he paid little at-tention when a large buckcrossed the road in front ofhim.
After all, he’d seen plentyof deer in the woods near hishome, but the sequence ofevents that was about to playout was something Dabiewhad never seen, or heard ofbefore.
“They don’t usually walk right up toyou, but this deer was coming right at me,”he recalled.
At 30 feet, the buck lowered his antlersand charged.
Knocked to the ground and fighting forhis life, all Dabiew could think was he hadto defend himself or the deer was going tokill him.
“So I fought with it. I wrapped my legs
around its neck and locked my arms andhands in its horns and squeezed for all Iwas worth as it pounded me into theground,” he said.
Minutes seemed like hours as the hugebuck continuously picked Dabiew’s 230-pound frame up atop its head andslammed him to the ground, driving himinto rocks and stumps.
Exhausted, Dabiew said it was all hecould do to hold on, but he was sure thedeer would gore him if he let go andadrenaline kept him battling on.
Luckily, Dabiew said he wasn’t the onlyone getting tired.
“He was tired himself, slowing downand breathing heavy,” Dabiew said. “Hecouldn’t move his head without movingme with it.”
Eventually, however, Dabiew could holdon no longer, and his grip on the antlersslipped. As he fell backward, he kicked atthe deer, causing it to rear up and rake theside of his face with its hooves.
Then, Dabiew saw his opening.
“After that, he walked a few feet away,stopped and just stood there looking backat me. That gave me time to pull myselfinto the skid steer. I wasn’t about to stickaround for anymore,” he said.
Bruised, bloodied and covered in mud,Dabiew used his cell phone to call for help.X-Rays showed no broken bones, butDabiew was left with cuts and bruises allover his body as well as a gored righthand.
“I’m black and blue from head to toe,”he said.
A longtime corrections officer at UpstateCorrectional, Dabiew said he doesn’t scareeasy.
“But I knew this thing was trying to killme,” he said. “That is a feeling you neverforget.”
Dabiew said he cannot speculate whatmight of provoked the buck. He said afriend suggested the sound of the woodhitting the inside of the skid steer ’s bucketmight have sounded like antlers rattlingtogether.
The sound of two bucks fighting oftenmakes a dominant buck aggressive — espe-cially during breeding season, which hap-pens in November in the Adirondacks.
While Dabiew said he has never hunted,he said he’ll think twice before going backin the woods unarmed — especially duringbreeding season.
“Who would think that the thing woulddo something like that,” he said.“That deer was pissed.”
