ROUSES POINT — Clif fSterling prides himself onhis attention to detail. It's atrait he picked up duringhis 17-year career in the Ver-mont Air National Guard.

“It's something theytaught me and it's some-thing that's stuck with me,”Sterling said.

That particular quality issomething he's carried intohis business, First ChoicePower Wash. Sterling start-ed the pr essure-washingbusiness in 2006, drawingon his experience cleaningmilitary equipment whilestationed in Iraq. Little didhe know First Choice PowerWash w ould g row i nto t hefull-time business it is to-day.

“I came home, started itpart-time and it just tookoff,” Sterling said. “And,here we are, five years later.I just thought this would bea part-time job I could do towork towar d r etirement.Now, it's a booming busi-ness.”

First Choice Power W ashhandles a variety of cus-tomers, said Sterling, in-cluding residential, com-mercial, agricultural andeven aviation.

“We even take care of theVermont Air NationalGuard's F-16s and theplanes at the museum atCamp Johnson [in V er-mont],” he said.

Sterling’s business sea-sons really begins to pick up

in the beginning of April,with many homeownerswanting to clear off the dirtand grime that accrues overthe winter months. Restau-rant owners also find springto be a good time to br eakdown their equipment andhave it cleaned — a serviceFirst Choice Power W ashcan do as well.

“We’ve cleaned a lot ofrestaurant hoods, gettingout all the gr ease and mak-

ing them look new again,”said Sterling. “W e evenclean f arm e quipment l ikemanure spreaders, barns.You name it. If it's dirty ,we'll clean it.”

As summer winds down,Sterling said he is seeingmany homeowners lookingto get their homes spr ucedup before the snow falls. It’sa gr owing business withgrowing demand, he said.

“We could work seven

days a week if we wantedto. W e’re busy , which isgood,” said Sterling, laugh-ing. “I mean, why do ityourself when we can do allthe work for you?”

The whole-house tr eat-ment consists of “every-thing up to the curb,” saidSterling.

“So, your gutters ar ecleaned inside and out,” hesaid. “We wash your win-dows; we squeegee them.

We do your decks. It’severything.”

“And, you don't have tocall us to do whole housewashings. If you want justspots cleaned like one sideof your house or your gut-ters, or your r oof, we'll dothat,” Sterling added.

It’s how well his businesscan guarantee a cleanhouse, that Sterling feelsbrings him mor e and mor ecustomers each year.

“We guarantee 95 percentof whatever's on your housewill come of f. Ther e's thatfive per cent we sometimesjust can't get,” he added.“But, we guarantee youwon't pay a dime untilyou're absolutely satisfiedwith the job we've done.”

The same goes for jobs onbusinesses and other thingsFirst Choice Power W ashcleans — like r ecreationalvehicles, another item r e-quested to be cleaned thistime of year.

First Choice Power W ashservices customers in a 150-mile radius, traveling main-ly thr oughout Clinton, Es-sex and Franklin counties.The business will traveleven farther if the customeris willing to pay an addi-tional expense.

First Choice Power W ashoffers 10 per cent off servic-es for active duty and r e-tired military members.Discounts ar e availab le forgroup service calls.

Free estimates anddemonstrations ar e alsoavailable. Demonstrationsmake those unsur e aboutthe ability to r emove eventhe toughest stains see theresults First Choice Pow erWash can provide.

“Seeing is believing —that's the way I look at it,”Sterling said.

For mor e information,contact Sterling at 569-9854or by e-mail [email protected].

First Choice Power Wash’s business is cleaning up

Cliff Sterling, owner of First Choice Power Wash, a pressure-washing business based in Rouses Point, is ready to serve customers in the tri-countyregion and beyond.

CHAMPLAIN — The Cham-plain village board of trustees isinvestigating the safety of anunoccupied building on ChurchStreet.

The boar d unanimously ap-proved a r esolution Mondaynight to hire an engineer to per-form a visual survey of a two-story building located at 93Church St., which has been indeteriorating condition forsome time, said village code en-forcement officer MichaelTetreault Jr.

“It’s been an issue since thisspring,” said Tetreault. “Appar-ently, during the winter , someof the side of the building, someof the brick is falling apart.There’s a bow in the building.It’s a structural issue.”

The b uilding i s o wned b y aman named Jason O’Connell,said Tetreault, who lives in On-tario, Canada. Tetreault said hehas sent two letters t o O ’Con-nell r egarding the matter , buthas yet to hear from O’Connell.

“He was sent a letter first-class mail with no r esponse.Then, he was sent a certified let-ter which we know was re-ceived,” said T etreault, noti ngcertified mail must be signedfor by the recipient.

The issue is a serious one,said Mayor Gr egory Martin,who noted he’s seen first-handstructural deterioration thatcould pose a serious danger tothose on neighboring pr oper-ties or walking by the building.

“I took a walk ar ound it andthere’s a lot of bricks that ar efalling off and roof tiles comingoff,” said Martin, who addedthe village has r eceived com-

plaints about the building.The village will now proceed

with hiring an engineer to as-sess the building, the cost ofwhich w ill b e p aid f or b y t hevillage but will be levied onto

O’Connell’s annual village tax-es.

If the village’s engineer findsthe structure unsafe, O’Connellwill have the opportunity to fixthe building or tear it down. If

neither option is chosen by theproperty owner , the buildingcan be condemned and torndown by the village, addingthat cost to O’Connell’s villagetaxes as well.

A two-story building located at 93 Church St. in the village of Champlain is under close scrutiny for being apotential safety hazard.

North Countryman Editorial

If you know the person who pro-duced your food on a first-namebasis, you’re living the dream.

It’s National Farmers Market Week(Aug. 7-13), a time when the USDA sec-retary and the Farmers Market Coalitiontout the political, economic and socialbenefits of farmers markets in the U.S.

Let them say their piece; we’d ratherjust eat — maybe a little wood-firedbread from Wadhams smeared withgoat’s milk cheese from Au Sable Forks,all washed down with a fruit wine madein Mooers.

From Warrensburg to Wilmington andPlattsburgh to Port Henry, we’re blessedwith a variety of local food producers inthe Adirondack region, much of it madein the Champlain Valley to the east andthe St. Lawrence Valley in the north-west.

For many, a visit to the local farmersmarket is treated as a quick, weeklychore. In places where the myriad of 10-by-10 tents are set up in fields and park-ing lots and along riverbanks, there’susually a beehive of activity — localsand visitors looking for good deals,good eats and good company.

But in places like Saranac Lake, wherethe farmers market is located in theheart of the village at Riverside Park,the traveling band of agrarian gypsiesbecomes the center of the community ac-tivity for five hours every Saturday.Spend the day, and you’ll see what wemean.

Two weeks ago, we did just that, andwe were amazed at what we saw. It wasCan-Am Rugby weekend. The villagewas packed with tourists, cars whizzingby the park on River Street. In the bub-ble of the farmers market, the traffic wasa stone’s throw away, but there was nonoise.

With the tents set up in an oval — theband shell at one end and a pair of tow-ering white pine trees at the other — apicnic table in the center, surrounded by

green grass, was the center of town.Heck, at the time, it was the center ofthe universe.

As vendors finished setting up, theywere the first to make their rounds andbuy some fresh produce, cheese andbaked goods for breakfast. Then, overthe next five hours, it seemed as thoughmost of the community showed up.

A woman sitting in the band shellplayed folk and blues tunes, laying theperfect soundtrack for a day at the mar-ket.

Locals came by for a croissant and aconversation. The newspaper publisherstopped for fresh vegetables while tak-ing her puppy for a walk. A mortgagebroker ran across the grass after buyinga dozen eggs. Teenagers cradled bunch-es of flowers in their arms. Artists, mu-sicians, retirees, state workers, not-for-profit employees, small business own-ers, people from all walks of life werethere, as were tourists, seasonal resi-dents and boaters docking at LakeFlower behind the tents.

This was a snapshot of the communityat its finest. Flowers, cheese, produceand baked goods seemed to sell the best.

We guarantee this: The farmers marketwill make you smile. Grab a fresh sun-flower. Eat a cheese and apple danish.Stick a moose-shaped maple sugar lol-lipop in your mouth. Stop by a marketin your community this week, and you’llsee what we mean.

Introduce yourself, find out where thefood comes from, and make some newfriends.

Farmers markets aworthwhile stop

Viewpoint

We need the gov-ernment towork for every-

one while providing each ofus the fr eedoms we valueand opportunity to createthe type of life that fits eachcitizen’s personality.

Every society has its over-achievers and underachiev-ers, and sometimes under-achievers become over-achievers and vice versa.It’s called motivation, andit’s what makes our worldgo around. Without motivation or a strongsense of self drive, what will spur creativ-ity and production?

Like it or not, this country is based oncapitalism. Capitalism r ewards the risktakers and entr epreneurs and is the basisfor many of the freedoms we enjoy. We’vealways been a very competitive society, butwith advances in technology and a gr ow-ing global economy , mor e countries haveadopted a form of our economic system.Combine that new aggressive competitionwith a less then united ef fort fr om thiscountry and the r esults speak for them-selves. We’ve lost our collective focus.

At this point in time, given the r ecentdebt deliberations, downgrading of thecountry’s credit rating by S&P , the politi-cal blame game coming out of Washington,and the stock market plunging over 600points as I’m writing this on Monday , Ithink we can all agr ee, that things ar en’tworking well at all. What absolutely doesneed to work at this point is finding solu-tions to reach across the aisle without dig-ging in our heels. Do we really care who’sright or wrong, or do we want our leadersto set a course correction to put some con-fidence back into our economy? Regardlessof your personal perspective, I think mostof us would choose the latter.

Vilifying the opposition in place of r e-specting their position and seeking com-mon ground may seem the best course forthose on the fringes of our political system,but I’m convinced cooler headed centristswho make up the majority of our countrymust step forward and prevail if both sidescan agree to reason fairly and think aboutwhat best for the country not what bestplays to their corresponding political base.

This nation was built on har d work byenterprising people — people who onlywanted an opportunity, and with that op-

portunity wer e willing towork har d and sacrifice tomake the most of it. Theyknew what they wer e work-ing toward and were willingto pay the price to reach theirgoal. Handouts, fr ee rides,get-rich-quick schemes, andnot pulling your own weightwere discouraged by societyas a whole, not celebrated orcondoned as seems to be thecase today.

Things like work ethics,courage, reliability, honesty,

integrity, loyalty, faith and commitmentare values that were ingrained in our na-ture at one time. Is it any wonder , as westrayed f rom t hose v alues, w e f ind o ur-selves in the mess we’ve cr eated today.From the time I was a youngster , it wasthese values passed down from my parentsand g randparents t hat w ere f orced u ponthem by the Great Depression. We can onlyhope these str ong moral values find theirway back into our futur e as per haps abyproduct of what we ar e about to gothrough.

This country has always been at its bestwhen we’re all pulling in the same dir ec-tion, at the same time. Until we r eturn tothe values that made us strong, get every-one truly pulling in the same direction andfairly sharing the bur den, eliminate thefree rides/entitlements and see a return ofhonesty, integrity and respect, we are des-tined to flounder in blame, self-righteous-ness, and a widening of the financial di-vide that is at the root of our issues today.

While the pr oblems ar e most appar entright now at the federal level, it will beginquickly to trickle down to the local level asdollars become scarce and borrowing getseven more difficult. As a nation, state andindividual communities, we must all takea more active role in voicing who we sendto elected office and how our tax dollarsare spent.

I have no doubt our country will find itsway thr ough this dif ficult period. Let’shope the lessons we learn and scars we’llwear will help us build a better futur e forour childr en and grandchildr en, givingthem a better grasp on the hope and opti-mism our parents and grandparents gaveto us that we let slip away.

Thoughts on airport’s designI had the pleasure of visiting Platts-

burgh International Airport for thefirst time to pick up a family memberfrom out of town.

While the parking was a breeze andthe building inside was neat, cleanand operating pr ofessionally, I wasstunned that the designers andbuilders did not pr ovide waiting guests with a view of theflight line.

The building is perfectly situated to provide visitors witha magnificent view of the valley and mountains, yet ther eare no windows from inside where a waiting individual cansee the runway.

Plus, when you walk outside to enjoy the view , the parkbenches all face the parking lot. There is not one bench aimedat the view and the flight line. How stupid is that?

Cheers for the new building, but jeers for insensitivity toits setting and the fun of watching planes take off and land.This international facility is missing key features that couldgreatly enhance its welcome to the visitors of the ChamplainValley and Adirondacks.

New campaign kicking buttsNew York State Tobacco Control Program has launched a

new campaign to educate New Yorkers about the benefits oftobacco-free outdoor recreational areas.

The campaign raises awareness of the environmental im-pact of tobacco litter, dangers of secondhand smoke and in-fluence on children when tobacco use is not restricted.

Billboards with "Keep Butts Away From Where We Play"can be seen throughout the tri-county area this summer.

Tobacco litter is poisonous to childr en and wildlife. Dis-carded cigarette butts ar e the most common form of litter .

Studies show they ar e toxic, slow to decomposeand costly to remove.

Cigarette butts have been found in the stomachsof fish, whales, birds and other marine animals andcan cause digestive blockages.

Children routinely pick up these toxic butts andtry to place them in their mouths.

The U.S. surgeon general has declared that thereis no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.Children have smaller lungs than adults and con-

sequently breathe in 50 percent more air pollution, which iswhy it is important to expand smoke-fr ee outdoor ar eas toreduce exposure and prevent tobacco-caused disease.

Public support for outdoor tobacco use r estrictions isgrowing. Outdoor-tobacco-use policies have been enacted inmore than 290 local municipalities thr oughout New York.Locally, 16 municipalities in the tri-county area have adopt-ed policies.

Community Partnerships can pr ovide sample policies,signage and/or assistance in cr eating outdoor-tobacco-usepolicies. V isit www.TobaccoFreeNYS.org to learn mor e orcontact Adirondack Tobacco Free Network at www.adiron-dacktobaccofree.org.

Helping Elmore SPCAThe Elmore SPCA, which serves all of Clinton County , is

in need your immediate assistance. Pr esently, the shelter isfilled to overflowing with over 65 cats and kittens. Thesehomeless animals ar e just the tip of the cat population ex-plosion. Daily, people call the shelter frantic about what todo after discovering abandoned and homeless kittens alongwith mother cats barely out of kitten hood themselves. Theanimal rescues throughout the North Country ar e burstingat the seams with unspayed or unneutered cats and a steady

stream of kittens…the terrible consequences of irr esponsi-ble cat ownership. Litters of kittens have been born thisspring, and continue to be born.

Unfortunately, many are destined to have a short life fullof sickness, malnutrition and even starvation without inter-vention. As a shelter we have taken in many mor e cats andkittens this year then normally due to flooding, hoar ding,abandonment, and surr enders. The cat/kitten overpopula-tion issue is not only a tragedy in Clinton County but is re-peated in every part of the nation annually.

The costs of spaying, neutering, vaccines, medications,and veterinary care have severely impacted our financial re-sources. We are asking you for donations of any amount. Weare also in dire need of canned cat food and dry kitten foodto feed the shelter ’s kittens and cats. Please help us so wecan help them.

Monetary contributions may be made directly through ourwebsite www.elmorespca.org and by mail to Elmore SPCA,PO Box 686, Peru, NY 12972. The Post Office requires the useof the PO Box for all SPCA corr espondence. Donations ofcanned food and dry kitten food may be dr opped off at theshelter located at 510 Arthur Road. If pickup is neededplease call 534-3484. We thank you in advance for any assis-tance.

If you are looking for a sweet cat or kitten please visit theElmore SPCA. If you can foster kittens or a cat or two pleasecall Kc at 643-2451. That would do much to alleviate thecrowded conditions at the shelter and get our cats and kit-tens into caring homes.

The Board of Directors and staff are very grateful for thecontinued gener osity of individuals, businesses, civicgroups, churches, and school organizations. It is your finan-cial support that allows the SPCA to provide shelter and sus-tenance to homeless, abandoned, and abused animals untilthey are adopted into loving, lifetime homes.

When most people thinkof insects, bad onescome to mind. Fortu-

nately, the vast majority of insectsin the world ar e not pests and be-cause every pest has a pr edator,many insects are beneficial.

Beneficial insects are insects thathelp your grow healthy plants. Themost commonly thought of benefi-cial are the pollinators such as hon-ey bees. But, there is a group of in-sects that either eat or parasitizeunwanted gar den pests. Knowinghow to attract those beneficial in-sects to the garden is important.

The first step in attracting beneficial insects to thegarden is to stop using pesticides. These chemicalsdo not dif ferentiate between the good and the badbugs. Be patient. If your peppers have aphids, givethe ladybugs time to find the smor gasbord, eat,mate, lay eggs, and let the ladybug larvae continueto pick the plants clean.

Planting an insectary in or near the gar den willhelp attract the beneficial bugs to the neighborhood.An insectary is a gar den plot or section of the plotdedicated just for the insects. The gar den can be alandscape bed right near the garden, or several smallplantings interspersed among your curr ent flowersor veggies.

Flowers such as fennel, yarrow, and dill, and com-

posite flowers, such as daisies, cosmos,and zinnias, ar e two important flowershapes that attract insects who, in theadult phase, feed on nectar and pollenbut whose larvae ar e voracious pr eda-tors and parasites. Some of these insectsinclude hoover flies, lacewings, andparasitic wasps.

Low cover is important for gr oundbeetles that feed at night on slugs, cut-worms, and r oot maggots. This covercan be low-gr owing herbs, mulch, flatstones, or boar ds. Taller plants ar e im-portant for predators such as stink bugsand praying mantids. Many times these

large, pr edatory insects hide so well in the tallplants, that we don't even notice they are there!

Like all living things, beneficial insects need wa-ter. This need can be met by simply placing a water-filled saucer with some rocks in and around it in thegarden. Most of these insects have wings and willmove out of the garden if water is not available.

With some time and an understanding, even themost bug-squeamish gardeners can come to appreci-ate the importance of beneficial insects and biodiver-sity within the garden!

PLATTSBURGH — The Alzheimer ’sDisease Assistance Center hosts its“Walk to Remember” each year , r e-membering those lost to and sufferingfrom Alzheimer ’s disease. And, thisyear, two events ar e kicking of f theevent.

The Senior Citizens Council of Clin-ton County Senior Center , 5139 N.Catherine St., will be the site of thefirst upcoming event — a Zumbathonhosted by instr uctor Ashley Cousensthis S aturday, Aug. 1 3, f rom 1 2 t o 2p.m.

Cousens, who routinely hosts Zum-ba events for local charities, said she’slooking forwar d to this Satur day’sZumbathon, given the cause.

“My gr eat-grandmother, who Iknew fairly well, had Alzheimer ’s,”said Cousens. “That’s why I agreed todo a Zumbathon for the Alzheimer ’sDisease Assistance Center. Because Iknew what it was like to see someonego through it.”

The proceeds from the Zumbathon— which will cost $10 to r egister for— will benefit the center financially .However, the event is somethingCousens said will benefit those want-ing to keep their minds in shape asmuch as their bodies, all at the sametime.

“The neat connection between all ofthis is how Zumba helps you keepyour brain active, remembering all thesteps. It’s just one way we can helpkeep our memory going and helpward off Alzheimer ’s,” said Cousens.

The second event to benefit theAlzheimer ’s Disease Assistance Cen-ter is “Run to Remember,” a 5k fun runand walk in memory of the late DougHoffman of Mooers Forks. That eventwill be held Satur day, Aug. 20, at theWellness Center at P ARC, 295 New

York Road, beginning with r egistra-tion a t 8 :30 a .m. T hefirst 25 to register willreceive free T-shirts.The cost to r egister is$15 per person. Thewalk/run will beginat 9 a.m.

Lythia Vera, withthe Alzheimer ’s Dis-ease Assistance Cen-ter, said events likethose are important tohelping the centercontinue its missionof finding a cur e forAlzheimer ’s.

“These events bringawareness toAlzheimer ’s, which is cr ucial for thecenter,” said Vera. “I personally lost a

family member to Alzheimer ’s, too, soI know what familiesgo through.”

Hosting events likethe Zumbathon, theRun to Rememberand this year ’s Walkto Remember — slat-ed for Sunday , Sept.25, at the PlattsburghState Fieldhouse  —helps keep those suf-fering fr omAlzheimer ’s at theforefront of people’sminds.

“Through eventslike these, we raiseawareness. So much

has been done for Alzheimer ’s by rais-ing awareness,” she said.

PLATTSBURGH — The Social Security Administration of-fice — located at 14 Durkee St., Suite 230 — will have reducedpublic hours effective Monday, Aug. 15, due to Congression-al budget cuts.

The office will be open Monday thr ough Friday, 9 a.m. to3:30 p.m., a reduction of 30 minutes each weekday.

While agency employees will continue to work their regu-lar hours, this shorter public window will allow them to com-plete face-to-face service with the visiting public without in-curring the cost of overtime. Congress provided Social Secu-rity with nearly $1 billion less than President Barack Obamarequested for the budget this fiscal year, which, according toa SSA press release, makes it “impossible for the agency toprovide the amount of overtime needed to handle service tothe public as we have in the past.”

Most Social Security services do not require a visit to an of-fice, including those wishing to apply for benefits, sign up fordirect deposit, replace a Medicare card, obtain a proof of in-come letter or inform the office of a change of address or tele-phone number . Those r equests may be done on-line atwww.socialsecurity.gov or by calling 1-800-772-1213. Thosewho are deaf or hard of hearing may call TTY 1-800-325-0778.Blood drives scheduled during August

Guest Viewpoint

In designing the Regional EconomicDevelopment Councils (REDCs)around the state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo

did what all other governors before him haddone. He split the Adirondack Park into sev-eral pieces, connecting each of those piecesto a city and region outside of the park’s bor-ders. This is disheartening. The AdirondackPark is a distinct r egion with unique eco-nomic needs and opportunities.

The Adirondack Park has no cities. It haslittle in common with Plattsbur gh and W a-tertown (North Country REDC), Utica (Mo-hawk Valley REDC) or the Albany/Saratogaregion (Capital REDC). Strategies that makesense in a city don’t usually translate well inour rural and remote communities.

That is why the Adirondack Council — thepark’s lar gest envir onmental or ganization— co-founded the Common Gr ound Al-liance. It is also why the Council collaborat-ed with the Adirondack Community Hous-ing Trust and partially funded the third vol-ume of an outstanding local community-planning effort known as Hamlets III, Plan-ning for Smart Growth & Expansion of Ham-lets in the Adirondack Park. We are also ask-ing for the state to create a dedicated fund toassist local economic development planningefforts in Adirondack towns.

We also supported the Empire State Devel-opment Corporation (ESDC) plan to seek asingle U.S. Census Bur eau r egion for the

Adirondack Park. Local, state and federal of-ficials would have a much clearer picture ofthe park’s economic cycles and demograph-ic changes than we do now. Because the parkboundary crosses town and county lines, thecensus requires interpretationand often leads to disagr ee-ment about the results.

Having a single entity keep-ing track of what works andwhat doesn’t would eliminatefalse starts in Adirondackcommunities facing similarchallenges. They don’t get thatchance when the park getspaired with outside cities.

We ar e confident that theAdirondack Park leaders ap-pointed to the thr ee RegionalEconomic Development Coun-cils will r epresent the parkwell. The REDC’s will see that there is mer-it in focusing on universal high-speed Inter-net access, r enewable and biomass ener gy,small businesses incentives, natur e-basedtourism and r ecreation development in theAdirondacks. We expect they will seek helpfor “gateway communities” to use the park’shuge amounts of public lands, wild water-ways and public trails as an economic ad-vantage.

Still, those r epresentatives will have tostruggle to be hear d in a gr oup whose pri-

mary focus is on mor e urban ar eas outsidethe Adirondack Park. Plans to create 10 jobsmight have the same beneficial impact on anAdirondack town as 100 new jobs in a near-by city. Which pr oject is mor e likely to get

the REDC’s attention?Long term, it would be bet-

ter for the Adirondacks —both economically and envi-ronmentally — if ther e wasone, state-funded economicdevelopment plan developedjust for the Adirondack Park.It is our hope that Gov . Cuo-mo will recognize the Adiron-dack Park’s uncommon cir-cumstances and develop anew, game-changing ap-proach. There are many logi-cal and financially beneficialchanges he can make by rear-

ranging some of his own agencies and r efo-cusing their energies on vital issues.

There is no reason, for example, for the De-partment of Environmental Conservation tomanage the Adirondack For est Pr eservefrom two regional offices, one of which is noteven located inside the park. This leads to in-consistent policies and confusion about whyDEC exer cises its discr etion dif ferently onthe eastern two-thir ds of the park’s publiclands (Region 5) than it does in the westernone-third (Region 6).

The Adirondack Park Agency is the onlystate agency whose sole focus is on the park.Yet the agencies that were supposed to be in-tegrated into the APA’s work — DEC, the De-partment of State and Empire State Develop-ment Corporation — don’t do the same. Eachshould have a full time effort focused on theAdirondack Park, perhaps in the same officecomplex as the Park Agency. They alr eadyoccupy seats as agency designees to the APA.Isn’t it time to consider a one-stop-shop ap-proach to achieve a mor e cost-effective andefficient delivery of state goods and servic-es?

In fact, it makes sense to consider combin-ing the work of all four into a single Adiron-dack Park Administration. Because the parkis lar ger than most New England states, itshould have branch of fices spr ead ar oundthe park. This would curb the need for resi-dents to travel long distances to attend pub-lic meetings, apply for permits or seek assis-tance with community-development grantsand business loans.

The Park Agency/Administration wouldfinally be able to serve the unique economicneeds of the Adirondack Park communities.It would support sustainable, compatibleeconomic development while protecting wa-ter quality, wildlife and the park’s wild char-acter.

More about the North Country RegionalEconomic Development Council

Your editorial regarding the North Country Regional Eco-nomic Development Council was on the mark in terms ofnoting the need for a distinct conversation r egarding theunique economic needs within the Adirondack Park. How-ever, it was premature in that it came ahead of the full sto-ry.

The North Country Chamber has been joined with othereconomic interests in the region in highlighting the findingsof the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment and stressingthe fact that past state economic development strategiessuch as Empir e Zones have lar gely been unhelpful in theAdirondacks as they have tended to str ess such things asmanufacturing and larger job counts. We have continuous-ly advocated for the development of a strategy tailor ed tothe Adirondack Park, citing a sense of ur gency given someof the troubling findings of APRAP in terms of communityand economic sustainability in many Adirondack areas.

The Governor's r egion-by-region appr oach finally pr o-vides an opportunity to address the different challenges andopportunities in all ar eas of the North Country , includingthe Adirondacks, and he is to be applauded for this seachange in how the state will determine and support econom-ic development.

And while the council covers the broader North Countryregion for many practical reasons, the first Regional Coun-cil meeting on August 5th included two things of relevanceto this topic:

First, it was explicitly noted that the North Country actu-ally consists of four sub-regions, the Adirondack Park beingone. And the final plan must take note of the assets and op-portunities in all four areas, seeing that all are included andthen knitted together in a comprehensive strategy.

Secondly, a specific Adirondack Park sub-group is beingcreated and will be headed by Bill Farber , Chair of theHamilton County Boar d of Supervisors and a r ecognizedleader in advocating for Adirondack interests. It is hopedthat this gr oup will become a cr oss-regional group, some-thing specifically encouraged in the Governor's plans,bringing in voices from those portions of the park which arein the Capital and Mohawk Valley regions. This actually cre-ates an opportunity for Adirondack needs and issues to beheard not only thr ough one r egional council but thr ee,which could prove advantageous.

And we see this Adirondack Park sub-group carrying onas a working group well beyond the initial creation of a firstset of plans later this year, and becoming an on-going vehi-cle for strategic conversations, recommendations and advo-cacy.

The council's working gr oups and other ef forts will bequickly unfolding in the coming weeks, with an extr emelychallenging timetable that requires full completion of a five-year strategy by November that can then be competitivewith the submissions from the nine other regions. And therewill be a number of opportunities announced for input, in-cluding an envisioned for um in the central Adirondacksamong other sessions and other means for active exchange.

Jeers to getting jeeredI just wanted to start out by thanking all the fans that came

out to see wrestling superstar Mick Foley. We were recentlyjeered in another paper for not being fan-friendly at a recentevent, so I thought I would give a little reply back to that.

At the FYE signing, it is not that unusual to have to pur-chase an item to get a signatur e; it's pr etty standard. Thiswas a FYE corporate decision, since the event was held atFYE, and I found FYE to be the utmost professionals at thisevent, doing what the store wanted them to do. It is a busi-ness, so I do thank FYE and their great staff there.

Mr. Foley was more than nice to all his fans, taking timeto sign a lot more than one item that was pr esented to him— chatting, taking pictur es. So, yes, ther e was a little waitfor the next person to see him.

There was an 8 x 10 photo provided, not a cheap piece ofpaper as was represented in this other jeer,(clearly hearsay).Mr. Foley was to be ther e for only two hours but stayedlonger to make sur e everyone was taken car e of, then pr o-ceeded to take pictur es with the staf f at FYE. Sur e, we didnot raise a lot of money; we work very closely with the teamwe chose to work with, they ar e a class act of women andwe thank them (The Angels),but after the decision to havea purchase done at the door, we were only trying to do whatwe could with what was pr esented to us. W e r espect FYEand their business decision. Once again, this was their store.We go by the r ules — tons of security was in place for theevent.

We thank Champlain Centre and Russ and Dana for theirgreat team work. Not any pr oblems at all, considering youpay $325 for Yankee tickets, just to have the players totallyignore your children. You paid for a DVD and for $10, a life-time memory of meeting Mr. Foley and having your picturewith him.

We work very har d to bring these entertainers to yourtown, and the bigger events brings business into your town.To be jeer ed liked this I thought was unfair when it wasclearly a hearsay situation. W e thank Denton Publicationsfor giving us a chance to r e-speakout on this. Mick Foley'sshow at Therapy in downtown Plattsbur gh was a gr eatshow, and we thank Therapy for being one of the gr eatestplaces I've been and seen in Plattsburgh. Check them out.

In closing, once again, we thank the fans — without youthere is no show! So, show your support to all events thathead your way!

Mayor’s Cup celebrates another successMayor ’s Cup 2011 can easily be compared to the shifting

winds of sailing.Nine months of planning, all things on pace, then came

the unprecedented flooding of Lake Champlain that sent theentire region, including our festival, adrift.

After many weeks of wear and tear on the soul of our com-munity, it was more important than ever to find a reason tosay, “Goodbye, flood waters ... Hello, summer!”

Call it good timing or good luck, with Mayor’s Cup week-end came drier weather , and, like colorful spinnakers,brighter spirits and a reason to celebrate.

We would like to express our gratitude to the hard-work-ing members of the Mayor ’s Cup Or ganizing Committee,City of Plattsburgh employees, community volunteers, Sun-rise Rotary, Center for the Arts and SUNY Alumni Associa-tion.

You helped bring the people of New York, Vermont andQuebec together for a four -day waterfr ont celebration ofmusic, fir eworks, sailing, boat parade, barbecue, biking,kayaking, basketball, cir cus, arts, kids activities, and somuch more.

Many people may not be aware that the Mayor’s Cup Fes-tival is funded through the financial support of local and re-gional businesses. A special thanks to all of our sponsorsand supporters for helping to make Mayor ’s Cup 201 1 ahuge success, despite the excess water.

Finally, congratulations to Matt Spiegel, our 201 1 SpiritAward r ecipient; the cr ew of Soundwave for winning thecoveted Mayor ’s Cup; and the cr ew of Liverpool Jar ge forwinning the Rotary Cup; and thanks to all boaters and crewfor their loyal participation in our regatta and boat parade.

When I was a kid —way befor e theWorld Wrestling

Foundation, E .T. o r e ven S tarWars — the Satur day eveningentertainment wasn’t a nightout at the movies, it was watch-ing black bears gor ge them-selves on table scraps at theNewcomb dump.

Back before it became polit-ically incorr ect to heave yourbags of trash into the big craterin the earth, dumps in localeslike Newcomb, Long Lake andTupper Lake wer e legendaryfor nightly visits fr om br uinswho became supersized on discarded leftovers.

We’d kick back in ratty lawn chairs and watchthem for hours as house flies buzzed ar oundtheir tiny clamshell ears. We’d give them nameslike Bone Crusher, Pizza Face and Budweiser.

Oh how we’d chuckle.Locals would recognize them year after year

and would speak about them over morning cof-fee.

They’d say things like, “Pizza Face looks likehe’s a muffin over 600 pounds this year.” And,“I nearly smacked Budweiser this morning withmy pickup.”

Even more fun was watching the visiting flat-landers who — forgetting the fact that Budweis-er, Pizza Face and Bone Crusher were wild crea-tures capable of swatting them off the planet likea black fly — would attempt to feed them byhand or get close enough to add one to the back-ground of a family portrait.

I once saw a guy nearly lose his hand in an at-tempt to feed a marshmallow to one absolutelyhumongous bear as his thr ee young childr enlooked on in horror. Of course, we later namedthe bear Marshmallow.

Oh, those were the days.Today, th ings ar e dif ferent. Dump s ar e now

transfer stations (just exactly wher e do theytransfer all that great bear food to anyway?) and

bears have been for ced to fallback on their natural instinctsfor food.

Of course, being the oppor-tunists they are, bears will mostlikely always step on the toes ofhumans now and again.

Such was the case last week-end when my kids, Harrisonand Malena, discover ed that abear had climbed into the fami-ly car while it sat in the drive-way of their Schr oon Lakehome.

The only r eal casualty was atube of sunscreen and containerof baby wipes the bear took a

hankering to — but I’ll let my kids tell you thefull story. Their version is attached to this col-umn.

Great job on the story, by the way, guys. I thinkwe should call the bear “sunscreen.” (I can pic-ture them giggling on the couch at that one.)

Senior wildlife biologist Ed Reed said thenumber of nuisance bear complaints in DECRegion 5 has been very low this year, at just 20.Most have been r eports of raided garbage cansand bird feeders.

“Normally we have more like 150 complaintsby now,” Reed said.

Reed attributes the low number of complaintsto above average natural food sources for bears,like berries, apples, black cherries, acorns andbeechnuts.

Bear complaints normally rise during yearswhen food sour ces like these ar e scar ce, oftenduring very dry spells.

That was not a pr oblem this spring, and thenatural food offerings have bears fat and happyand out of the back yards of most of us.

Unfortunately for hunters, seasons of aboveaverage sources of food usually mean below av-erage bear harvests during the early and regularseason, as the bruins become hard to locate andpattern.

We shall see if that trend holds true when the

early bear season in these parts opens Sept. 17.In the meantime, I know one bear that should-

n’t be burning the r oof of its mouth anytimesoon.

That one was for you, Harrison and Malena.

Editor’s Note: The following is a firsthand account written by my son Harrison, age 10, with helpfrom my daughter Malena, age 8, about an encounter they had with a wild bear at their home in SchroonLake. They titled the piece, “The Sunday Bear.”

By Harrison and Malena Gereau

On Sunday morning, me, my mom and my sister wer e walking to the car to go tochurch. Mom stopped us as we approached the car and low and behold a bear hadgotten into our car . It looked as if the bear climbed into the car thr ough the win-

dow. There were paw prints all over the car door. My sister said that she thought the bear hada cub, because there were small and big paw prints.

Last week, we lost our cat named Bitty Boo. W e think the bear had something to do withthat. She just wandered into the woods and has not come back yet.

That same morning after the bear got into the car, we figured out that he or she had bit intothe new can of sunscreen and it squirted all over the inside and outside of the car. He or shealso bit into the tip of our mother’s car seat. One other thing that the bear almost demolishedwas a whole container of baby wipes! Those things were all that were inside the car that night.

It was very fun to tell friends about the creature, but we sure hope he’s gone away.

My son, Harrison, inspec ts a black bear I t ook in 2003, not far fr om the site of a r ecent encounter my kidshad with another bear, which they wrote about below.

SOUTH PLATTSBURGH — MartinRoy swooped ar ound leaders Gr egAtkins and Leon Gonyo with nine lapsto go and went on to his secondstraight DIRTcar Modified win onDella Auto Gr oup Night at AirborneSpeedway Aug. 6.

The 30-lap main event was a bruis-er that took nine cautions to complete.Clean restarts were the issue. The racewas red-flagged after three laps whenMatt Woodruff got up on the wheel ofCam Grady’s machine and slammedinto the turn four wall. Woodruff wasnot seriously injured.

Roy started 15th in a 28-car field,gained some spots early by attrition,and then passed a trio of cars on thebackstretch as they were navigating a

back marker to move into eighth onLap 10. At that point, the top-5 r un-ning order was Atkins, Gonyo, JimmyRyan, Mike Reyell and Craig Reyell.

George Foley got up to second witha late charge in the outside lane. A fi-nal caution on Lap 26 gave him a shotat the win, but Roy pulled away at thedrop of the gr een and won by thr eecar-lengths. Atkins held off a latecharge fr om V ince Quenneville toclaim fourth. Positions 6-10 went toMike Phinney, Andy Heywood, Jim-my Ryan, Pierre Berthiaume and ChrisCayea.

On Lap 21, Gonyo was si zing upAtkins for a possible pass for the lead,when Roy moved farther outside topass them both. “It was a crazy race,”

he said. “I tried to wait for a while forthe trouble to stop. ”

The former track champion hadspent the afternoon qualifying for aNASCAR Canadian Tire event at TroisRivieres. “It was important for me toget back to Airborne tonight and try tokeep racing for the championship.Thanks to all the fans who come outand support the track. ”

Defending Ernie's Discount T oolsModified champion Patrick Dupr eebegan the night as the point leader ,but he suffered electrical problems inhis heat race and started at the rear ofthe field in a back-up car that wassoon sidelined with a broken panhardbar.

Roy now leads Dupree 460-448 with

three point races r emaining. Foley isin third place another 14 points back.

Robin Wood, Jamy Begor and BuckoBranham finished nose to tail in theJ&S Steel Sportsman featur e. Woodtook the lead on a Lap-10 r estart anddrove to his sixth win. Nick Heywoodand Dave Rabtoy finished 4-5. Earlier,Begor won the six-lap $250-to-winSportsman “Dash for Cash.”

Point leader Kevin Boutin of Fair-fax, VT held off Robbie Favreau to winthe Renegade feature. The pair tradedthe lead several times while r unningdoor to door - Boutin inside, Favr eauoutside. Lance Rabtoy was a closethird. Josh Allen and Robert Gor donwere next in line. The Renegade “Dashfor Cash” was won by Josh T erry of

Morrisonville. Erick Sayles of Lake Placid took the

Mini Modified checkers with KrisClark of Keeseville a car-length away.Josh LaPorte finished third afterswapping the position thr ee timeswith point leader Speedy Br esette,who placed fourth. CJ LaV air wasfifth. The win was Sayles’ fourth of theseason.

MurderFrom page 1mouth of the Saranac River .The two then walked over tothe victim’s vehicle where it isalleged Hill struck Larabie be-fore robbing him.

“[Larabie] was mur deredand then r obbed,” said PoliceChief Desmond Racicot. “Thedefendant had his arm around[Larabie’s] neck and chokedhim until he was dead.”

Hill allegedly stole moneyfrom Larabie’s wallet and thenthrew the wallet and its con-tents into the Saranac River be-fore he fled on foot.

On Monday afternoon, Raci-cot said other details of the in-cident are not being released asthe investigation is ongoing.

“We’re not commenting onwhat the motive might have

been,” Racicot said. “The in-vestigation is continuing andwe have the person r esponsi-ble in custody.”

District Attorney Andrew J.Wylie said Hill was arraignedin Plattsburgh City Court latelast Sunday night before actingjustice Mark Rogers. The casewas adjourned until Aug. 10.

“It’s my understandingJudge Rogers appointed BillMeconi as assign ed counsel,”said W ylie in an interviewMonday afternoon. “[Hill] wasremanded to jail without bail.”

Wylie said an autopsy ofLarabie was performed by Dr .Michael Sikirica, a chief med-ical examiner fr om RensselaerCounty. The pr eliminary r e-sults showed Larabie’s deathwas caused by asphyxiationdue to strangulation.

NCCSFrom page 1building a dorm on campus.”

Letourneau said the boar d should ex-plore the idea of privatizing the schoolbus service, an option the body has inves-tigated in the past.

“Instead of the school paying all this,have a private company come in and runthe buses,” Letourneau said. “They takecare o f t heir o wn e mployees. Th ey t akecare of everything else.”

District Superintendent Peter J. Turnersaid he didn’t want the search for savingsto descend to finger -pointing amongschool employees.

“One thing I think is important, whenyou go to those different sub-groups, is toask them for cost-saving ideas withintheir own bar gaining unit,” Turner said.“Because what you r eally don’t want tohave is one bargaining unit attacking an-other.”

Letourneau said he wanted to knowwhether ther e would be a r eduction inemployees or gas expense by putting highschool and elementary childr en on thesame school bus, as it has been on thepast.

Also, Letourneau sa id he wanted theboard to consider r eturning to a central-ized bus pick-up on each block. Busescurrently pick up students at their indi-vidual homes.

Additionally, Letourneau said hewanted to know whether the districtmight be able to, with the children’s safe-ty taken into account, transport fewerstudents in accordance with a state edu-cation busing law.

The district doesn’t have to bus anyonein grades K-5 who lives under two milesaway, Letourneau said. Similarly, the dis-trict doesn’t have to bus anyone in grades6-12 who lives less than three miles away.

“Regardless of what the law says, thesafety of the students is paramount,” Le-

tourneau said. “I don’t think anyone’scomfortable with having somebodywalking on r oads leading to the [Cham-plain] school.”

In contrast, in Rouses Points and Moo-ers, which are home to district elementaryschools, there are sidewalks and crossingguards which make for a safer walkingroute, Letourneau said.

Board member Tammy Gonyo said thedistrict doing mor e of its work digitallywould save money.

Board member L ynn Grovine said thedistrict might consider sharing services,such as busing, with other districts.

“Down the r oad that’s another optionthat we could possibly look into,”Grovine said. “I think that’s going to bethe trend.”

Letourneau said he thought manywould misunderstand sharing services tomean consolidation.

“It’s not,” Letourneau said. “It’s mutu-ally beneficial.”
