ROUSES POINT — When you want tosend someone near and dear to you some-thing from the heart, it’s easy to think of theusual gifts — flowers, chocolates, cutestuffed animals. But, when you want to sendsomething to someone who’s caused youfrustration, the market for that kind of gifthas been rather limited. Until now.
Arthur Penfield T remblay has cr eated abusiness that will provide a unique noveltyitem he feels will fill the niche that tradition-al greeting card companies and stuffed ani-mal manufacturers have overlooked — sat-isfying frustration.
“I was thinking ther e are a lot of peoplewho kind of need a way to vent that’s non-violent,” Tremblay said. “So, I came up withthe idea of sending somebody r oadkill askind of a fun way of expr essing your dis-pleasure.”
Through his new business, AdirondackRoad Pizza, Tremblay is creating syntheticflattened stuffed animals — skunks, wood-chucks, possums and squirr els — that willbe deliver ed via FedEx, UPS and the U.S.Postal Service in — what else? — pizza box-es.
“They a re k ind of c ute,” s aid Tremblay,noting the animals come designed with tir etracks acr oss their backs and pink tongueshanging out. “It’s really zany.”
Adirondack Road Pizza is not only a newbusiness, but a new venture for Tremblay ingeneral, who is an established artist and de-
signer of churches by trade.“It’s part enthralling and part frighten-
ing,” Tremblay said, laughing. “It’s a bigchallenge. It’s entirely different from what Inormally do. Becoming an entrepreneur anda manufacturer is quite a shift.”
The business is an idea that has been ges-tating for about 18 years, said Tremblay, butonly really taken shape in the last 18 months.

Paquette named chamber’s Irishman of the YearRecognized for career as educator, legislator and keeper of historyBy Jeremiah S. P [email protected]
PLATTSBURGH — Dr. Celine R. Paquetteis this year ’s North Country Chamber ofCommerce Irishman of the Year.
The honor was bestowed upon the dir ec-tor of the Samuel de Champlain HistoryCenter, former county legislator and educa-tor during the annual North Country Cham-ber of Commerce St. Patrick’s Day Breakfastat the State University of New York at Platts-burgh Angell College Center March 17.
Master of cer emonies Kevin J. Killeenmade the declaration, which gives surpriserecognition to those who continue to makecontributions to the community . Killeenhinted at who the honor ee was with termslike “hails fr om the north,” “has pr ovidedleadership and legislation,” and “entr ustedto ensure the quality of higher education.”However, it was when he said the honor eehas had a “close r elationship with thefounder of our lake and its past,” r eferringto Samuel de Champlain, Paquette saidthat’s what gave it away for her.
“I’ve always referred to Champlain as myboyfriend,” said Paquette, laughing. “So,that was a hint.”
When r eceiving the awar d, Paquettethanked the chamber of commerce and thosein attendance, adding she was “humbled tojoin a very d istinguished lis t of past hon-orees.”
“I had no idea,” Paquette said after receiv-ing the award. “I’m overwhelmed. I mean re-ally, what a surprise. This is wonderful.”
Paquette served as a county legislatorfrom 1995 to 2008 and has served on severalboards and committees, including the SUNYPlattsburgh boar d of tr ustees, Battle ofPlattsburgh Association, Diocese of Ogdens-burg Investment Committee and, most r e-cently, as vice-chair of the Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial Commission
in 2009.Paquette took her admiration for Cham-
plain one step further when she opened theSamuel de Champlain History Center in2009. The center, located on Elm Street in thevillage of Champlain, houses more than 300books and a host of items directly-related tothe region’s history.
Paquette is a graduate of the State Univer-sity of New York at Plattsburgh, holding abachelor ’s degree in school nurse teaching.Earlier in her career, she spent 24 years as a
teacher, supervisor and eventually adminis-trator in the East Greenbush school district.She obtained her master ’s and doctoral de-grees fr om SUNY Albany and spent thr eeyears as principal of the Ticonderoga MiddleSchool befor e r eturning to Champlain tostart Paquette’s Insurance Agency in 1987with her since late husband, Lawrence.
Paquette now joins the ranks of severaldozen others who have r eceived the desig-nation of Irishman of the Year since 1959.
Dr. Celine R. Paquette, director of the Samuel de Champlain History Center, Champlain, was named the 2011Irishman of the Year Award recipient by the Nor th Country Chamber of C ommerce March 17. Paquette isseen here with Irishman of the Year Breakfast emcee Kevin J. Killeen.

For years, schools across upstate NewYork have pr oclaimed ambitiousmission statements about preparing
students for the ever -evolving challengesexpected during the 21st century.
At the same time, soaring fuel prices,along with ballooning school employee ben-efit expenses, ar e boosting the cost of edu-cation.
Coupled with a shrinking population —school districts across the Adirondacks havelost more than 30 percent of their enrollmentin 30 years — the cost per student to educatechildren in many districts has soared, whilefamilies face ever -higher school taxes andincreased costs of living.
The state Commission for Pr operty TaxRelief notes that school districts in theAdirondacks have an average student pop-ulation one-third less than the statewide av-erage, and their cost per pupil can be up tofive times higher than the statewide aver-age.
Throughout the Adirondacks, citizenshave heard about school district consolida-tion as a way to save money while of feringa higher quality education. An in-depthstudy recently concluded that consolidating
school districts in the state with fewer than900 students would result in an annual sav-ings of $158.5 to $189.2 million.
But consolidating schools has its seriousdrawbacks — including exhaustive busrides and tearing apart a community’s fab-ric of life.
There’s a better way to achieve greater ef-ficiency and save taxpayer money while re-taining all the benefits of a hometown school— and that’s merging or sharing school dis-tricts’ administrative functions.
According to the Adirondack Park Re-gional Assessment Pr oject study, only 17percent of schools’ administrative servicesare shared in the Adirondacks. Meanwhile,total K-12 enr ollment has decr eased an av-erage of 329 students per year , with evensteeper declines recently.
While school principals have site-specificproblems to strategize, schools’ top admin-istrators — the superintendent and businessmanager — have more abstract decisions tomake, decisions more suitable to generalist,regional solutions.
Newcomb Central offers a dramatic exam-ple of the prevailing trend. They’ve suffereda 54 percent decline in students since 1980,yet they are now spending about $61,000 perstudent for their education.
Or consider Indian Lake Central. It hasdropped steadily to 170 students K-12, yetits annual budget has increased to $4.56 mil-lion, and its cost per student has risen to$25,553. The dis trict, however, has a full-time superintendent, business manager andanother top administrator plus a principal.In 2009, the salaries of these four employees
totaled $307,870 — all bankr olled by localtaxpayers. In Minerva, the six school admin-istrators earn a collective $367,483 to servea mere 100 or so students.
But Minerva and Newcomb Central havetaken one small step towar d m erging ad-ministrations, and appar ently it’s workedout well. They shar e a business manager , aposition that routinely pays $75,000 in ruralareas and far more elsewhere.
The idea of consolidating administrativefunctions has gained some traction nation-wide. In Ohio, a top business leader is nowurging the state politicians to have only oneset of school administrators in each county,a move that that is estimated to save thestate $781 million annually. His proposal isbased on an exhaustive study and its find-ings of considerable success for the move inVirginia, where there is one school districtper county. A similar campaign is active inPennsylvania.
Former Hadley/Luzerne SuperintendentLen Ger eau, who went on to become a r e-
gional superintendent in V irginia, and isnow serving as an educational consultant tothe state, said this week that mer ging ad-ministrative functions of fers considerableadvantages in ef ficiency. But two main ob-stacles exist, he warned — existing statelaws, plus the political will of citizens, lead-ers and voters of each school district. Appar-ently, local citizens and their school boar dsdon’t like to give up control.
Yet taxpayers ur gently need r elief, andsuch par ochialism must end. It’s time thatstate laws be changed to enable such consol-idation, and school boar ds thr oughout theregion take a close look at merging or shar-ing school district administrative services.

When it comes to healthcare, we need to thinkabout this phrase: “Just
because we can, doesn’t necessarilymean we should.”
Not many years ago, physicians hada limited array of testing available tomake a diagnosis. In the past couple ofdecades, however, the number , vari-ety and complexity of testing has ex-panded exponentially.
Beyond X-rays, we now have com-puter-generated CT scans, MR scansand PET scans. We now have a vast ar-ray of interventional techniques forimaging, including angiography , ul-trasonography and others. W e havefar advanced chemistry testing andgenetic testing that can identify inborn errors ofmetabolism, occult tumors and other ongoing orpotential disease processes. And we have devel-oped whole diagnostic testing laboratories,where we can obtain tissue samples via per cu-taneous routes that in the past would have r e-quired major surgery.
With each advance in testing, a new protocolfor defining when and how to use these testsarises and becomes a “standar d of car e.” Lastyear, there was a major conflict when the Insti-tute of Medicine came out with a much less vig-orous set of guidelines for doing mammographytesting.
Why the less vigorous guidelines? First of all,mammograms were resulting in many false pos-itives that resulted in the need for more testingand caused significant anxiety among thewomen who wer e faced with these additional
tests. Secondly , ther e wasstrong e vidence t hat t he a geand fr equency guidelineswere not significantly detect-ing mor e cancers or doing itsooner to save lives.
There was an immediateoutcry fr om many that weshould not change the guide-lines. Many women testifiedthat they wer e alive becausethey wer e tested under theolder guidelines.
In males, the pr ostate-spe-cific antigen, or PSA, is a testthat has become nearly stan-dard to rule out prostate can-cer. PSA will gradually rise in
virtually all men as they move from the 60s intothe 70s and 80s. As a consequence, the test willcontinue to rise in “normals.” A sudden increasemay be significant, but there is no absolute num-ber at which tr eatment should be undertaken.When the PSA rises, the pr otocol suggests theneed for a prostate biopsy, yet many of those areproving to be negative for cancer because of afalse positive in the form of a rising PSA. Foreveryone who questions the benefit of doing anannual PSA, ther e is someone who claims thatthe testing saved their life.
In the 1930s, Vermont farmer Wayne Newtonwas the first person to be operated on for a di-agnosis of a herniated disc in his lower back. Thesurgeon involved later said the worst thing thathappened was that Wayne got better. Ever since,we have collectively had a fixation on repairingherniated discs. Most back pain, he said, has
nothing to do with disc herniations. Almost weekly, I see a new patient in the of-
fice with a complaint of back pain. Most have al-ready had an X-ray and an MRI of the spine.When I ask them what is wrong, the common an-swer is, “I have a herniated disc.” T echnically,when we look at the MRI, they do have a herni-ated disc, but it probably has little or nothing todo with their pain. I point out that the symptomsfrom a disc herniation are those of leg pain andnot back pain.
As a medical student, a neur ologist intr o-duced us to the “Matter horn syndr ome.” Hesaid if we do five tests on a patient and onecomes back slightly abnormal, we then do fourmore. If one of those is abnormal, we then doeven more. Eventually, we have created a moun-tain of data that may or may not have anythingto do with the patient’s problems.
We may have a vast arsenal of testing capabil-ity, but every time we do a test, we run the riskof getting a false positive. Acting on that by do-ing more testing or by treating a problem that isasymptomatic may have no impact on the healthand well being of the patient. Yes, there are timeswhen testing is necessary and helpful and willsave lives and improve health. But “just becausewe can, doesn’t mean we should.”
To control the cost of health care, we need toquestion the amount of screening exams. Maybea better history and physical examination couldavoid the need for multiple tests. It's possiblethat further intervention may be futile and causemore harm than good for the patient or the fam-ily.

Making ‘super smoothies’There is another gr oup of
outdoor enthusiasts, be-sides gar deners, that is
very excited with the recent springweather — the maple syrup produc-ers. In cold climate areas, like ours,sugar maple tr ees stor e star ch intheir stems and r oots befor e thewinter; the starch is then convertedto sugar and rises in the sap in thespring. Maple tr ees can be tappedand the exuded sap collected andconcentrated by heating to evapo-rate the water. Because needs to beconcentrated through evaporation,it takes appr oximately 40 gallons of sap to makeone gallon of syrup!
The maple season is completely dictated by theweather. If the night’s too warm, days below freez-ing, et cetera, the length and quality of the sugar-ing season is adverselyaffected. And as theweather continues towarm thr ough thespring, the maple tree’snormal biologicalprocesses eventually al-ter the taste of the sap,making it unpalatableand ther efore endingthe maple syrup season.
Maple syr up is an important part of the NewYork State’s and the North Country’s economy. Ver-
mont produces the most syrup in thecountry, followed by Maine andNew York. The cr op value of ourstate’s syr up is estimated to bearound $14 million dollars! Sincemost of the syr up is pr oduced innorthern ar eas of the state, buyingsyrup fr om a local pr oducer is agreat way to keep money in our lo-cal economy.
Not too long ago, most sap wascollected in buckets and evaporatedover a fire. Plastic collection tubingand reverse osmosis processes haveimproved maple syr up ef ficiency.
The sap still needs to be boiled in an evaporator ,but since some of the water is taken out during thereverse osmosis the time required to condense thesap into syrup.
As a child, I always wanted to make maple syrup.I wanted to tap our two large Norway maples andboil the sap on the stove. My par ents, being wise,never allowed this. Boiling the sap in your kitchenmakes for a very sticky situation. Boiling the sapon pr opane burners outside solves this pr oblem.And, visiting a local maple syrup producers is yetanother way to keep your kitchen clean while sup-porting your local economy!

“I have cancer . It doesn’t have me,” shesaid. “And, it’s not going to.”
“I’m too damn miserable to die,” sheadded, laughing.
The 62-year-old mother of five was diag-nosed last May with stage thr ee small cellcancer, which has af fected one-third of oneof her lungs and spr ead to her esophagusand lymph nodes. She didn’t take the diag-nosis lying down, however. In October, shebegan a steady r egimen of radiation tr eat-ments and began chemotherapy.
So far , David said, the tr eatments havebeen working.
“I was going for radiation five days aweek for seven weeks and I’m still goingthrough chemo,” said David. “So far, one ofmy X-rays said [the cancer] is shrinking.”
However, there is still the possibilityDavid will have to have the lung removed ifprogress doesn’t continue.
“I figure there’s nothing I can do about it.Just have to keep a stiff upper lip,” she said.
In or der to help David with her medicalexpenses, her fellow members of the V eter-ans of Foreign Wars Post 1466 Ladies Auxil-iary in Beekmantown will be hosting a ben-efit for her this Satur day, Mar ch 26, at theSpellman Road post beginning at 1 p.m.

The process involveddeciding how to devel-op and market the prod-uct, which Tremblaysaid will be sold mainlyvia the Internet.
“It’s something that’san impulse buy ,” hesaid.
Getting Adir ondackRoad Pizza off the ground has also involvedfiguring out how the critters would be man-ufactured. Keeping in mind a theme of “be-ing local,” T remblay decided the cr eationswould be stuf fed with balsam to give theman Adirondack scent. He also wanted tochoose local suppliers like Lakeside Con-tainer in Plattsburgh — which will pr ovidethe pizza boxes — and hire local labor to per-form the work.
“I’m using all local labor — 30 stitchers,
about five to 10 packers andstuffers. One of the drivingforces to bring into exis-tence is to give peoplejobs,” said T remblay. “Theidea is to get people in r u-ral areas, especially, em-ployed when ther e isn’temployment ... Everybodyaround here needs work.”
The workers will also beable to assemble the cr e-
ations at home befor e bringing them to acentral shipping facility that will be based inthe Northern Tier. Each order — at a cost of$39.95 plus shipping — will be delivered viatwo-day shipping and bear a personal mes-sage from the sender.
The venture is already gaining national at-tention, said Tremblay, which is expected todebut on a nationally-televised late nighttalk show and in other national and localmedia.

ed to launch in the next two weeks,with its Web site, www.adirondack-roadpizza.com going live at thattime.

Public meeting Thursday on planning, zoning code revision processROUSES POINT — The village of Rouses Point will hold
a public meeting at the Rouses Point Civic Center , 39 LakeSt., Thursday, March 31, beginning at 7 p.m.
The purpose of the meeting will be to explain the planningand zoning code revision process and to hear input from vil-lage residents.
The village of Rouses Point obtained funding from a 2005Environmental Protection Fund grant from the Departmentof State to examine its zoning code for possible revisions toleverage the r edevelopment of the downtown and water-front envisioned in the village’s Downtown and WaterfrontPlan and Design Guidelines.
Using the grant funding, the village has hired River StreetPlanning and Development, professional planning and eco-
nomic development consultants, to pr ovide their sugges-tions for impr oving the zoning code to leverage economicdevelopment and encourage business investment in thedowntown. River Street will also recommend which, if any,elements from the village’s Design Guideline suggestions toinclude in the zoning code. River Street has extensive expe-rience in assisting New York State communities in develop-ing strategies to facilitate economic development and inwriting planning and zoning codes. River Street has alreadyidentified eliminating special permits for traditional down-town commercial uses as a key improvement they will sug-gest to make it easier for businesses to occupy commer cialproperties without a lengthy review process.
River Street will lead the Mar ch 31 public input meeting
with the goal of developing a better understanding of localperceptions of the zoning code and changes that need to bemade. River Street will then hold a meeting in early May toreview their r ecommendations for pr oposed changes withthe public and village board.
During the next few months, the citizens Codes RevisionCommittee will also be meeting to finalize its review of thezoning code. The final step in the process will be for the vil-lage boar d to consider all r ecommendations, hold publichearings, and decide what changes to make in the code.
Village residents, business owners, and interested partiesare encouraged to attend the March 31 meeting.
For more information, contact Rouses Point Revitalizationproject manager Melissa McManus at 297-6753.

Miracle for MarcusFrom page 1
Eventually, Marcus was bornfour weeks pr emature with acondition known as gastroschi-sis, a congenital defect whi chcaused portions of his intes-tines to form outside his body .Weighing only 4 pounds, 13ounces, and measuring 17 inch-es long, Mar cus’ mother wor-ried for the health of her baby.
“He was born and r ushedright up to the [neonatal inten-sive care unit],” she said.
Marcus underwent five sur geries as a newborn tocorrect his condition, spending his first three and a halfmonths of life intubated on a ventilator . During thattime, Marcus was just shy of two weeks old when doc-tors found a fistula — an abnormal connection in hisintestines — which leaked stool into his abdominal cav-ity. He underwent surgery to correct that problem, butended up necr otizing enterocolitis, which r esulted inthe death of the majority of Mar cus’ bowel tissue —leaving him with 10 inches of intestine. Marcus lost thenecessary part of his midsection that absorbs nutrientsfrom food, affecting his digestive system.
When he was 3 months old, Marcus underwent nis-sen fundoplication, a surgical procedure to stop the se-vere gastr oesophageal r eflux disease he developed.Not catching a break at that time either, Marcus becamesick again and was intubated for another 45 days. As aresult of severe scarring that developed, he was givena tracheotomy. He was later transferred to Boston Chil-dren’s Hospital in Boston, Mass., wher e his conditionstarted to improve enough to come home to the NorthCountry for the first time last November.
“He w as 8 a nd a h alf m onths o ld b efore h e c amehome,” said Alexander.
Though home, the now 1-year -old Mar-cus isn’t out of the woods, said his mother.He still requires 24-hour care, with Alexan-der getting help fr om two private dutynurses and her mother, Laurie Donaldson.
“We still have a long ways to go, but he’scome a long way , too,” said Alexander.“He’s just amazing.”
What’s c omplicated m atters, t hough, i sAlexander h as h ad u nreliable t ransporta-tion and has ever-mounting expenses relat-ed to Mar cus’ car e, not to mention takingcare of her two other childr en, Arianna, 5,and Skylar, 2.
Marcus’ family receives Medicaid butMedicaid does not cover all the things Mar-

Feds ban possession of fake potPLATTSBURGH — The federal government is crack-
ing down on the possession of pr oducts labeled asherbal incense but that are used like marijuana. Chem-ically laced “fake pot” substances such as Blaze, K2,Spice, and Red X Dawn ar e among brands believed toproduce a similar high to pot.
According to a press release from the Drug Enforce-ment Administration, side ef fects of the pr oducts in-clude convulsions, anxiety attacks, dangerously elevat-ed heart rates, increased blood pressure, vomiting anddisorientation.
“Young people ar e being harmed when they smokethese danger ous ‘fake pot’ pr oducts and wr onglyequate the products' ‘legal’ retail availability with be-ing ‘safe’,” DEA administrator Michele M. Leonhartstated in the r elease. “Parents and community leaderslook to us to help them protect their kids, and we havenot let them down. T oday’s action, while temporary ,will reduce the number of young people being seen inhospital emer gency r ooms after ingesting these syn-thetic chemicals to get high.”Sixteen states have al-ready taken legal action to contr ol one or mor e of thechemicals found in the products.
Since 2009, the DEA has received an increasing num-ber of r eports fr om poison contr ol centers, hospitalsand law enforcement regarding these products. Sixteenstates at least have already taken action to control oneor more of these chemicals.

News of the Week In Clinton County
Action takendoesn’t mean a done deal,say officialsBy Jeremiah S. P [email protected]
PLATTSBURGH — TheClinton County Legislatur ewill pr oceed with pursuingbids to privatize its homehealthcare services.
The legislature met in reg-ular session at the ClintonCounty Government CenterMarch 16, where representa-tives voted 8-1 in favor ofputting forth a r equest forproposals to “explor e alter-natives for home health-care.” Legislator Samuel J.Trombley, R-Area 2, cast thesole dissenting vote. Legis-lator Jacqueline A. Walker,R-Area 8, was absent.
Dr. John W. Gallagher, D-Area 9 — one of the legisla-tors who voted for the r eso-lution — addressed an audi-ence of several dozen peoplewho turned out to speakagainst privatizing the serv-ices. Gallagher emphasizedthe decision does not lockthe legislature into making adecision to move forwar dwith privatization.
“Hearing what I’ve hear dtonight, if wer e voting onselling the home health carelicense tonight, I would bevoting no. But, I have to voteto explore the alternatives,"Gallagher said.
The matter was br oughtbefore the legislatur e fol-lowing an increasingly largeamount of money hemor-rhaged by the Clinton Coun-ty Health Department foroperating home healthcar eservices. Last year, the serv-ices cost the county mor ethan $5 million to operate,and brought in less than $3.5million, resulting in a mor ethan $1.5 million loss.
“Personally, I don’t care ifwe make a single penny ,”said Legislator Keith De-fayette, R-Ar ea 5, “but I
don’t think we can continueto bleed to the tune of two,then maybe thr ee, thenmaybe four million dollarsin the outlying years.”
Prior to the vote, legisla-tors heard from members ofthe public, voicing their con-cerns over the idea of thecounty potentially giving upcontrol of its home health-care services.
Registered nurse Jill Par-ent questioned what wouldhappen to those in need oflong-term car e, like the pa-tients she sees now. With anestimated average cost of$380 a day to live in a nurs-ing home and what would bea flood of new clients for thefacilities, the option of pa-tients being placed in a nurs-ing home is not an option atall, she said.
“The nursing homes inthis county are full,” Parentsaid. “So, where are they go-ing to go? Another city? An-other state? And, are we r e-ally going to rip them out oftheir homes, away fr omtheir family and theirfriends?”
Those who would chooseto r emain in their homeswould run the risk of not re-
ceiving pr oper and r outinemedical tr eatment as theycurrently do, added Parent.
“They could die or at thevery least, end up in the hos-pital, which in the end, is go-ing to cost us all a lot mor emoney,” she said.
Rosemary Giroux, a regis-tered nurse with the homehealthcare unit, said theproblem lies with the factMedicaid/Medicare r eim-bursement rates have de-clined in r ecent years.“Ifyou want the cost to besmaller, the best way to ac-complish this is to keep con-trol of dir ectly pr ovidingservices and not put controlin someone else’s hands,”Giroux said.
Others who spoke madesuggestions for cutting ex-penses within the homehealthcare unit, includingmaximizing r evenuethrough co-pays, of feringmore training that will ulti-mately make the departmentmore efficient, and comput-erizing medical charts to re-duce paperwork.
“If those things can bedone and make a difference,then I say they need to be ex-plored,” said Legislator Sara
E. Rowden, D-Area 4.When voting against pur-
suing with the RFP , Tromb-ley stated he was compelledby those speaking duringthe public forum against themove.
“I came here tonight in theinterest of supporting this,”said Trombley, r eferring tovoting for moving aheadwith the RFP. “But, I learnedan awful lot here tonight ...And, as the chairman of thehuman services committee, Iguess I’d be a hypocrite if Iwas to vote for this.”
However, Gallagher andother legislators r eiteratedthe vote would not lock thelegislature into any sort ofagreement.
“Just for clarification, sev-eral of the legislators indi-cated that if the vote tonightwas to sell the licenses, thevote would have been no,and I think that’s importantto note,” Gallagher said.
Regardless, the state mustapprove any potential deci-sion to privatize homehealthcare services, accor d-ing to County AdministratorMichael E. Zurlo.
Several dozens of people turned out for a meeting of the Clinton County Legislature March 16, voicing theirconcerns over the idea of the county potentially giving up control of its home healthcare services.

Raif Shwayri visits collegeon collaborative tourBy Keith [email protected]
SARANAC LAKE — Several New Yorkstate community colleges are joining forceswith a school in Lebanon to start an associ-ate’s program for students there.
As part of the partnership, Al Kafaat Uni-versity Director General Raif Shwayri madea visit to North Country Community Col-lege as part of a statewide tour March 17.
“We are visiting North Country, Ononda-ga, Nassau and Monr oe Community Col-leges,” said Rosemary Ortlieb-Padgett, In-ternational Student Affairs of ficer withNassau Community College. “We had goneto Al Kafaat and through that visit formeda partnership with them and have peti-tioned the state to help establish an associ-ate’s degree program in Lebanon, which is
something they do not have.”“Everyone is engaged in the learning
process and where we can partner togetherboth with Al Kafaat and the other schoolsin the state that ar e part of this,” Maur eenStyles, Assistant Dean For Grants andFunded Pr ograms at NCCC, said. “Some-times, we can feel isolated and away fr omthe other community colleges being wher ewe are at, but this is giving us the chance totalk to people who ar e doing the samethings throughout the state and give us newcontext to assess what we do and imple-ment that into a more global workforce.”
During a lunch meeting at NCCC,Shwayri credited the staff at the school fortheir efforts.
“The quality of the work that you are do-ing is fantastic,” Shwayri said. “The stu-dents that I sat with this morning were veryreceptive and interested in what was goingon.
He added that he liked that communitycollege model of smaller class sizes and
added that he felt college was about gettingstudents prepared for a career.
“Graduates should not just come awaywith a piece of paper that says I did this andthat,” Shwayri said. “They should comeaway with a job. If we have to choose be-tween the two, I choose the job. At AlKafaat, we have a database of needs in ourcountry and we will match the training ofour students to the needs that we ar e fac-ing.”
Shwayri said that ther e wer e times thathe would r emind members of his facultythat they needed to listen to their students.
“They have 10 ideas and while eight ofthem may be worthless, two of the ar e ge-nius,” he said. “When we started this, theteachers wer e telling the students to keeptheir ideas to themselves and I had to inter-vene.”
Shwayri also said that he enjoyed his timein the Adirondacks, especially waking upearly and seeing the sunrise in Lake Placid.
“It was stunning,” he said.

PLATTSBURGH — It’s dancing, but it’sdancing for a cause.
The first annual “Boogie Bash” will in-vade the gymnasium at Our Lady of V icto-ry Academy this Saturday, March 26, with amission of helping a local nonprofit organi-zation.
Boogie Bash organizer Paula Schares saidthe beginner dance instr uction event willserve a dual purpose — getting people outon the floor to try new forms of dance andhelping the local chapter of The GabrielProject, a Christian-based network ofchurch volunteers who of fer assistance topregnant women and women with newbornbabies.
“We help those in and ar ound Platts-burgh,” said Schar es, who is also a volun-teer mentor for The Gabriel Project. “Some-times the families just need a few extra dia-pers, a little money to get them some mor eformula, some clothing. Sometimes theyneed a lot of assistance.”
Last year, 243 families were helped by theorganization, Schar es said. Thr ough thehelp of money to be raised by the BoogieBash, Schares said she’d like to see that sup-port grow.
The other side of the coin, she added, isthat this Saturday’s event will also educatebeginners to the different types of dance outthere such as line dancing, r ound dancing,square dancing, English country dancing,contra dancing and Zumba, a form of dancefitness.
“It always irritates me when I hear some-one say ther e’s nothing to do in Platts-burgh,” Schares said with a laugh. “There is.There’s lots of things to do here.”
The Boogie Bash will be a “perfect oppor-tunity” to see that, Schar es said, and givepeople one central location to learn and trydances they may never have been able to trybefore.
“I’ve never tried Zumba because it does-n’t usually seem to fit into my schedule andI don’t really want to walk into an ongoingclass. I just want to do it where there’d be a
lot of beginners,” she said. “So, I figur edthis would be a perfect opportunity.”
“I know there are a lot of fundraisers outthere,” s he a dded. “ But, a s f ar a s I k now,there’s nothing like this.”
This Satur day’s event will be open tothose high-school age or older or middle-school age with a chaper one. The eveningwill begin at 7 p.m., with admission to theevent being a monetary donation or newbaby item to go to The Gabriel Project.

24 - North Countryman • Adirondack Outdoors www.northcountryman.com March 26, 2011
Last weekend, Itraveled south toSchroon Lake to
attend the 15th AnnualAdirondack SportsmansDinner. The event, whichis organized and hosted byconsortium of local min-istries, always draws alarge crowd, and this yearwas no different.
Folks from Wells mixedwith easily with othersfrom Chazy, Old For ge orDresden, and evidently ,they all share a similar passion for the out-door life. It is largely a blue collar audience,and camo baseball caps wer e the commonfashion theme of the day.
Seminar topics included birchbark canoebuilding, waterfowling, wood carving,wilderness survival, turkey hunting, deermanagement, bass fishing, small gammehunting, and many more.
For the keynote addr ess, an appreciativeaudience of over 500 guests filled the audi-torium at the Mountainside Bible Center asfeatured speaker, Dave Blanton, ExecutiveProducer of Bill Jordan’s Realtree Outdoorstelevision series, and the popular MonsterBucks ® video series, r elated tales of hishunting experiences with NASCAR legend,the late, Dale Earnhart.
I never fail to be impr essed with how ef-fectively the shared passion for an outdoorlife serves to foster a commonality amongsuch a diverse group of people. Within min-utes of arriving, I always feel as if I am sur-rounded by a group of old friends, althoughthere’s hardly a handfull of familiar faces inthe crowd.
The event, which has become a spring rit-ual, always seems to prompt me to try a newactivity. After seeing a bit of W ilmingtonbased woodcarver, Allen Aar dsma’s semi-nar on woodcarving, I’ve begun sear chingfor the woodworking tools that I put away
years ago. Tickets for the annual event,
which is fr ee and open to thepublic, ar e online atwww.sportsmansdinner.com.They ar e available on a firstcome basis and unfortunately ,there are only 500 tickets avail-able, due to space limitations.Keep tabs on the site, as ticketsare usually scooped up withindays of being offered. In manyrespects, the gathering can be alife changing event. Congratu-lations to the or ganizing com-
mittee for pr oviding another entertainingand engaging event!
New York State guides journeyto Lake Placid
By the year 2000, there were a number ofindigenous occupations that ceased to exist,all across the Adirondacks.
A century earlier, in 1900, these trades in-cluded ice harvesters, loggers, beekeepersand tappers who collected spr uce gum.There were also blacksmiths and log driv-ers, camp cooks, boatbuilders and miners;and a variety of other tradesmen whose oc-cupations wer e r eplaced by such moderntechnologies as internal combustion en-gines to refrigeration to feller/bunchers.
However, there is one occupation that notonly survived the centuries, it has thrived.In 1919, when the NYS Fish and Game Com-mission for began to r egister guides, only176 individuals stepperd forward. By 1924,when the state r equired all guides to be li-censed, their numbers had swelled to over1,100 individuals.
By the time the old, Adirondack GuidesAssociation disbanded iin 1957, ther e werefewer than 500 licensed guides.
Most people’s image of an Adirondackguide is that of a grizzled, old woodsmandressed in a pair of woolies, stooped shoul-
dered from carrying heavy loads and with aequal chaw of tobacco set in his jaw, to helpbalance a cranky guideboat.
This characture has been foster ed by in-numberable writers, ever since guides werefirst discover ed working in the woodedwilderness of the Adirondacks in the mid-1800’s.
The original Adirondack Guides Associa-tion was founded in Saranac Lake on June28, 1891. New York State surveyor , Ver-plank Colvin, was named the honorarfypresdient of the organization.
Times have changed considerably sincethen, and the pr ofession has experiencedthe ups and down of economic turmoil,through two W old Wars, social upheaval,and the advent of the electronic age.
However, a century later , the pr ofessionremains as vital and vibrant today, as it wasin 1911, with over 2,000 licensed guides inthe state.
In 1982, the New York State OutdoorGuides Association reorganized and incor-porated under the charter of the originalAdirondack Guides Association and overthe wekend of Mar ch 25-27, Associationmember will return to Lake Placid for their30th Annual Rendezvous. In fact, The Ren-dezvous will be hosted in the same facilitythat hosted the original Lake Placid gather-ing.
An indication of just how much timeshave changed, is evident in the member-ship, wher e female members rank high.About a quarter of all NYS licensed guidesare female, and the Guides Association hasalready elected a woman as its president.
More than a century after the state firstbegan licensing guides, the pr ofession stillthrives across the park, and throughout thestate.
Today, guides lead whitewater rafting ex-peditions, r ock climbing adventur es and
wilderness ski tours. But in many cases,guides still function in traditional r olesranging from camp cook, to riflery instr uc-tor, to storyteller.
However, the pr ofession has becomemuch more specialized, with guides provid-ing a select type of service, that is theirtrademark, whether flyfishing or bir ding,kayak touring or trail running, ice climbingor track interpretation.
Todays guides still function in a varietyof traditional roles, from cook, to instructor,to storyteller. Yet, the pr ofession has be-come much mor e specialized that ever be-fore, with many guides pr oviding a selecttype of service, that has become their trade-mark. Guides specializing in flyfishinghave experienced a significant incr ease indemand, as that sport has blossomed, whileothers have developed a specific niche forsuch unique activities as birding, wild flow-ers, bowhunting, kayak touring, trail r un-ning, ice climbing, women-only trips, llamatrekking and track interpretation.
Currently, ther e ar e at least five NorthCountry colleges that of fer degr ees inWilderness Recreation Leadership, OutdoorRecreation or Expeditionary Studies.Adirondack Community College in GlensFalls even offers a DEC accredited trainingprogram for licensed whitewater guides. Athe pr ofession transitions fr om traditional'bait and bullet' activities towar d more ad-venture sports such as whitewater, rock andice climbing or ecotourism pursuits such asbirding and nature studies; I expect the de-mand for their services will continue to bestrong.
