MOOERS FORKS — OnNov. 14 many women gath-ered at the home of Deb Bab-bie to help support thewomen of Uganda.

Dee Johnson, a friend ofBabbie’s, was the first tocome across the BeadforLifeprogram, which “eradicatesextreme poverty by creatingbridges of understanding be-tween impoverished Africansand concerned world citi-zens,” according to a pam-phlet provided by Beadfor-Life.

“I heard about [the pro-gram] first at school fromsome colleagues of mine,” ex-plained Johnson, who is a li-brarian at the Northeastern

Clinton Central School Mid-dle High School. “They doBeadforLife for teachers.”

Johnson shared what she’dlearned at school with Babbiewhen they were chattingabout different things theycould do.

“I said, ‘Have you everheard of BeadforLife?’” saidJohnson. “Got talking, senther the e-mail, she did all ofthe leg work to get it here.”

Johnson and her husbandAl, of Mooers, are alwayslooking to support local busi-nesses and to get Fair Tradeevents in the area.

“There aren’t many in thisarea,” Johnson said. “Espe-cially because BeadforLifehelps women make a sustain-able life. And it’s unique.”

Babbie took it upon herselfto run with the idea and con-

tacted BeadforLife, which is aFair Trade Federation mem-ber.

According to www.fair-tradefederation.org, FTF is“part of the global fair trademovement, building equi-table and sustainable tradingpartnerships and creating op-portunities to alleviatepoverty.”

The way BeadforLifeworks is Ugandan womencreate beads out of strips ofcolorful, recycled paper,string them together to formjewelry — a process whichcan take a week to complete.

When Babbie contacted theorganization, she told themwhen she was hoping to havethe party, which needs to befour to six weeks in the fu-ture, and they send a box of

CHAZY — The Chazy Public Librarysponsored local composer and pianistAdrian Carr for his New York State De-centralization Grant. On Nov. 15, he re-turned the favor.

Carr performed a string of songs at theChazy Central Rural School auditoriumfollowing an opening performance by lo-cal quintet the After Five Brass.

“[The library] sponsored me for the de-centralization grant a year ago and so thiswas, I felt, a great thing to do,” explainedCarr. “It was just kind of a giving back tothe community for being so nice to me.”

Chazy Public Library director FrancieFairchild, who had never seen Carr in con-cert before, thoroughly enjoyed the con-cert.

“Beautiful playing. Interesting compo-sition,” Fairchild said. “I bought a coupleof his CDs for the library to have.”

Fairchild said one of the reasons the li-brary chose to sponsor Carr for his grantwas to make a connection for the library.

“We like to connect with outside

“She’s been talking about it for thelast four or five years,” said Justin.“‘I’m done this year. I’m done, I’mdone.’ Then finally I think she hadenough. Finally decided it was time.”

One of the reasons why the BlueNote Restaurant was so successful forso many years, is because it was theplace for locals to go.

“Everybody solved problems thereand different things like that,” laughedBetty Jean. “It was just a meeting place.We’ve seen a lot of people come and go.Plus ... everything was home cooked.”

One of the biggest problems BettyJean now faces in retirement is sleep-ing in.

“I can’t get used to staying in bedlonger than 4:30 a.m.,” she said. “I al-ways got up at 4:30 a.m. because wemade our own donuts.”

“I’m happy for her. She’s enjoyingher time off now,” said Justin. I thinkshe misses being there in the morningaround all the regular customers.”

As for the future of the building, Bet-ty Jean plans to sell it.

“I don’t know if anything will comebefore spring, but that’s what we wantto do anyway.”

If the building cannot sell as arestaurant, they will do something elsewith it.

“I don’t like to see empty buildings,especially one that has been there solong.”

ALBANY — Division ofHousing and Community Re-newal is responding to an im-portant need in rural commu-nities with a new initiative toprovide safer, more affordablehomes for low-income indi-viduals and families by re-placing severely substandardand dilapidated mobile andmanufactured homes withnew Energy Star Qualifiedmanufactured housing.

The new statewide Manu-factured Home ReplacementInitiative targets $5 million inNYS HOME Program fundsfor the replacement of dilapi-dated owner-occupied mobileand manufactured homes sit-ed on land owned by thehomeowner. It also increasesthe award limit under HOMEby sixty-six percent, from$30,000 to $50,000.

DHCR’s 2009 RegionalHousing Needs studies of theNorth Country, Finger Lakes,and Western New York Re-gions highlighted the criticalrole mobile and manufacturedhomes play in affordablehousing across the state. Thestudies also underscored thesevere deterioration of manyof these homes, particularlythose built prior to 1976 whenthe use of tin roofs, metal sid-ing, and inefficient windowswas commonplace.

Gov. David A. Patersonsaid, “We are reaching out tocommunities at the grassrootslevel, listening to their con-cerns, and developing poli-cies that speak directly to theissues. With this new initia-tive, New York State is re-

sponding to a crucial needthat has been ignored for toolong. As a result of the newManufactured Home Replace-ment Initiative, more low-in-come people and familiesacross the state will live insafer, more affordable homes,and rural areas will be revital-ized.”

DHCR commissioner Debo-rah VanAmerongen said, “Inthe process of conducting fo-cus group meetings, DHCRhear repeatedly that the needto invest in improving thestock of manufactured hous-ing is great and has been ig-nored for some time. Morethan half a million New York-ers live in manufactured ormobile homes. Mobile andmanufactured homes fill acritical gap in affordablehousing for low-income peo-ple, but too many are in sub-standard, dangerous condi-tion and the cost of repairs isunrealistic and unaffordable.DHCR’s HOME Programfunds will provide zero-inter-est loans to homeowners to re-place the most dilapidated ofmobile and manufacturedhousing with new, energy-ef-ficient manufactured homes.”

DHCR’s MHRI will helpmeet the cost of the new man-ufactured home, site work,transportation of the newhome, set-up, and removaland demolition of old home.Awards will be granted to eli-gible program administrators,and homeowners will applydirectly to awardees. Recipi-ents of new manufacturedhomes must have household

earnings at 80 percent or lessof Area Median Income.

Commissioner VanAmeron-gen announced the program atthe Rural Housing Coalition’sannual conference in SaratogaSprings.

Blair Sebastian, executivedirector the New York StateRural Housing Coalition said,“There is a real need for thisprogram in rural communitiesacross the state. I commendcommissioner VanAmeron-gen and DHCR for targetingresources toward improvingthe quality of manufacturedhousing stock and the qualityof life of people in rural com-munities.”

Nancy Geer, executive di-rector of the New York Hous-ing Association said, “Formore than 60 years, manufac-tured homes have providedaffordable housing for hun-dreds of thousands of NewYorkers. Over the years, newconstruction techniques andinnovative technologies haveresulted in Energy Star ratedbuildings and appliances. TheNew York Housing Associa-tion applauds the New YorkState Division of Housing andCommunity Renewal’s initia-tive to replace Pre-HUD mo-bile homes with new EnergyStar manufactured homes.These new Energy Star homeswill not only provide home-owners with savings on theirutility bills, they will providethem with overall improved,more efficient shelter.”

Commissioner VanAmeron-gen said an important benefitof the program is the oppor-

tunity for low-income peopleto build wealth.

“This program is only avail-able to people who own theland where the home is locat-ed,” VanAmerongen ex-plained. “This will allow recipients ofthe program to build wealthbecause at the end of a 10-yearregulatory period, the home-owner will have accumulatedequity.”

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!

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.

PLATTSBURGH — If youask Debra LaPorte, there arevery few times in a year whenan entire community comestogether. However, on Sept.26, more than 50 students,family, and friends did justthat as they joined together toform the team “Nick’sKnights” for the PlattsburghStart! Heart Walk.

“This is the third year we’vecome together and every yearI continue to be amazed by theoutpouring of support,” saidDebra, who served as teamcaptain.

The Chazy woman is themother of the late NicholasLaPorte, who was 14 years oldwhen he died of an undetect-ed heart condition in May2006. Nicholas’ brother, Noah,joined his mother in raisingmoney this year, setting a goalof $500. The Seton Academyfifth-grader solicited dona-

tions by asking his fellow stu-dents to purchase a red, silveror gold heart. The responsewas overwhelming.

“I didn’t think I would doso good, but every day I gotmore donations, even fromthe teachers, said Noah, whoalso raised money by return-ing bottles and bringingclothes that no longer fit himto a local thrift shop.

In total, he raised $642.Building on her brother ’s

example, Cailee LaPorteraised funds at Seton Catholicthrough heart sales.

“Everyone still remembersmy brother,” she said. “All hisfriends are really nice to meand treat me just like a littlesister. It’s a very nice feeling.”

Cailee additionally solicit-ed family and friends to sup-port her effort. In total, sheraised $506 toward the cause.

Another $500 club member

and Seton Catholic HighSchool senior, Alexa Cosgro,raised $560 to help Nick’sKnights gain “Superstar”team status. Superstar teamsraise $3,000 or more and aregiven special recognition atthe walk.

“The fact that many ofNick’s classmates from SetonCatholic participate in theHeart Walk is a great testa-ment to the concern that ourstudents have for one anoth-er,” said Paul Spilman, SetonCatholic Education Councilpresident and a member ofNick’s Knights. “Events likethe Heart Walk showcase thetrue family spirit of SetonCatholic.”

“Most people who partici-pate are doing so because theyare either a survivor or have aloved one who has passed on[because of heart disease],”said Debra. “ We are no dif-

ferent in that respect, butwhat it truly remarkable is thecontinued show of support forNick by his friends. Theycome out and walk, and theirparents support the effort bymaking a donation.”

The Plattsburgh Start!

Heart Walk raised more than$167,000 and is one of thou-sands of walks sponsored bythe American Heart Associa-tion throughout the country.All revenue generated fromthis event fights cardiovascu-lar disease and stroke — the

number one cause of death inthe U.S. Currently, the AHA isinvesting more than $147 mil-lion in valuable biomedical re-search at institutions through-out the nation.

PERU — The Peru Lions Club has celebrated atraditional holiday for the last 32 years in an un-traditional way.

Every Thanksgiving, the nonprofit communityservice organization steps away from the traditionof football, turkey and relaxation and takes part insomething a little different — The John P. AdamsMemorial Turkey Trot.

“[Adams] was a runner himself,” said co-founder Larry Ewald. “He was interested in it andthought it would be a good thing for the LionsClub to get behind.”

Today, the race sees nearly 400 competitors fromall around the North Country and beyond. Racersbegin at Peru Intermediate School and can com-pete in a one-mile fun run, a 5-kilometer or a 10-kilometer race, throughout a local orchard.

“I think running is getting to be more popularthese days,” Ewald said. “As a result, I think peo-ple look forward to it.”

Ewald has found some people have competed inthe Turkey Trot nearly every year since it began.

“We’ve had these Turkey Trots in driving snowstorms. Yet the people still show up,” laughedEwald.

Every year, the race begins at 9 a.m., yet Ewald

is urging people this year to show up well in ad-vance.

“Always at 9 a.m. we’ve got a line,” Ewald said.“People trying to squeeze in there.”

Ewald believes one of the reasons the TurkeyTrot has become such a tradition is because it’s atime for people to get out and socialize with theirneighbors.

“A lot of these people don’t see each other allyear,” Ewald said.

Another aspect of the race that keeps it so tra-ditional, is it never changes.

“It’s pretty much the same each year,” Ewald ex-plained. “I think we’ve run the same set up prob-ably the last 10 years. It’s pretty definite. People ...seem to enjoy the fact that it is carried out the sameway each year.”

The entry fee for the 5- and 10-kilometer racersis $15 and the fun run entry fee is $5. The winnerof each race will receive a turkey and a trophy.There will also be turkeys raffled off to those in-terested. Other prizes will be raffled off at randomto anyone entered in one of the three races.

The fun run begins at 9 a.m., with the 5- and 10-kilometer races immediately following. Sign-upbegins at 7:30 a.m. at the Peru Intermediate Schoolcafeteria.

For more information contact Ewald at 643-8506or Jim McCarty at 561-1572.

It’s that time of yearwhen Santa Claus can beseen traveling through

the North Country — on theCanadian Pacific HolidayTrain.

The Holiday Train will bemaking its way through theregion next week, makingstops from Rouses Point toScranton, Pa., collecting foodand money for local foodshelves and offering some en-tertainment at the same time.

Michael LoVecchio, a repre-sentative for Canadian Pacif-ic, said the Holiday Train pro-gram has helped raise morethan $4 million and collect 2million pounds of food since itbegan in 1999.

“When we started the Holi-day Train program 11 yearsago, the thought was wewanted a way for companyemployees to make a differ-ence in the communitieswhere they live,” explainedLoVecchio.

The enthusiasm employeeshad for the idea was over-whelming, he added, with re-action in the communitiesequally as amazing.

“It’s very rewarding for CP

employees to be able to dothis, to be able to bring theHoliday Train to their com-munities,” said LoVecchio,“because, at the end of theday, these people are their

neighbors. It’s nice to be ableto do something for them.”

Each year, the HolidayTrain stops and opens its box-car stage for performances byvarious well-known record-ing artists. This year, ShaunVerreault, best known as thelead vocalist and guitarist forthe Canadian band Wide

Mouth Mason, will return fora repeat performance. Ver-reault will be joined by con-temporary American folk mu-sician Willy Porter; Canadiansinger and songwriter AdamPuddington; and Prescott, abrother and sister duo featur-ing third-generation Canadi-an musicians Kaylen and Kel-

ly Prescott.During each stop, the com-

munity is encouraged to bringdonations for their local foodshelf. Canadian Pacific thenpresents the donations and acheck to the nonprofit organi-zations.

“Demand for food pantryservices is way up, so we’reasking Holiday Train fans, asthey do every year, to comedown and to please be gener-ous in their donations to their

local food shelves,” saidLoVecchio.

The stop in Rouses Pointwill benefit the food shelf atSt. Patrick’s Church on LakeStreet. The only other stop inClinton County — the Amtrakstation in Plattsburgh — willbenefit the Joint Council forEconomic Opportunities ofClinton and Franklin Coun-ties, which operates outreachcenters throughout the NorthCountry.

The Holiday Train’s firststop will be at the Amtrak sta-tion on Pratt Street in RousesPoint on the night of Thanks-giving, Thursday, Nov. 26.The train is scheduled to stopat approximately 11 p.m. Thetrain will continue on to stopsin Pennsylvania and southernNew York before returning tothe North Country Monday,Nov. 30. On that day, the trainwill make stops in SaratogaSprings, Fort Edward, White-hall, Ticonderoga and PortHenry before making its laststop at the Amtrak station inPlattsburgh at approximately9:15 p.m.

In addition to the train vis-iting the Northeast, CanadianPacific will also have HolidayTrains visiting more than 130communities throughout theMidwest and Canada throughmid-December.

CVPH Diabetes Education Centerhelps diabetics to stay in control


PLATTSBURGH — The Diabetes Education Center atCVPH Medical Center has been helping diabetics in variousways for the last three years.

According to the American Diabetes Association, Novem-ber is American Diabetes Month, and a time to keep in mindhow serious a disease it is.

The DEC is the only program in Clinton County to be cer-tified by the ADA, providing numerous programs to help di-abetics cope.

One major program the center offers is a Diabetes SelfManagement Education class, a 10 hour course held overfour weeks, which provides diabetics, both type I and typeII, with a way to manage their diabetes.

“There’s skills that if somebody is newly diagnosed or ifthey haven’t had diabetes education at all, they may havebeen diagnosed maybe 2, 3, 4, 20 years ago and never got it,

we offer this ... class for them to come in to learn more aboutmanaging their diabetes,” explained program coordinatorDarcy Reid. “It’s about healthy lifestyle changes.”

Reid explained during the four weeks, clients meet anddiscuss topics such as portion control, weight loss, and carbcounting.

“For the first week we get their weight, and it’s really kindof motivating for people to see every week that ‘Oh, I’ve losta pound’ or ‘I’ve lost two pounds’ or ‘Wow, five pounds’ orwhatever,” said Reid. “It’s just a motivator and they can seethat this really does work when they apply these things.”

The class also tries to clear up any myths diabetics mayhave heard, and help them to understand what is happen-ing with their body.

“We might have one or two people in the class that havetype I and the majority of them are type II,” Reid explained.“We can talk about the differences between the diabetes.”

“People with type I diabetes, that’s where there’s insulindeficiency,” she added. “There’s no insulin production at all

and they have to take insulin injections.Type I people tend to be much leaner.”

Reid further explained one of the majorrisk factors for type II diabetes is obesity.

“It makes the cells in their body resist-ant to the insulin that’s produced.”

Aside from weight management, theclass also helps people to understandblood glucose monitoring — how to use ameter and what the target levels should be.

“We find that some patients, they’ll saythey were diagnosed with diabetes ... butthey really don’t know sometimes .... whattargets they should be working toward forblood glucose.”

Reid explained many people who jointhe education class bring a partner withthem for support.

“It’s kind of a support ... that helps tomotivate them,” she said. “Keep them go-ing. Not to nag at them, but it’s also a goodthing to have somebody else who is closeby you to learn what you’re learning sothat they don’t nag.”

At the end of the four weeks, clients willhave completed nine hours of education,leaving them with one hour to be used asone-on-one time with a dietitian or nurse.

If one-on-one time is preferred by aclient, they can opt to take the self man-agement course as an individual with anurse or dietitian.

“Some people don’t learn well in a groupand they would prefer to do that,” saidReid. “We can still go through 10 hours, orsix hours, or eight hours, whatever ittakes.”

Another program offered by the center isinsulin training. Reid said some people

come to the education center, newly diagnosed with dia-betes, but never received the proper education about howthe insulin works.

“That’s something we can do here. Come with your ... in-sulin and we can talk to you about how the insulin works,how to use it,” Reid said. “So it kind of decreases frustra-tion.”

Currently Reid and registered dietitian Ann Watts are bothcertified insulin pump trainers and can start people on in-sulin pumps, with a doctors referral.

The center also offers a continuous blood glucose moni-toring for diagnostic purposes, over the course of three days.The monitor records the blood sugar levels and after threedays the client comes back to the office, the information isprinted out and the client can see what their levels are dur-ing the times they do not typically test.’

“We can look at that report and we can see ‘Oh, it lookslike every morning at 4 a.m. you’re dropping your bloodsugar. It can be the reason why X, Y, Z happens,’” Reid ex-plained. “It’s kind of a nice thing we offer.”

The DEC also provides assistance to women who havebeen diagnosed with gestational diabetes and how to man-age it during the course of the pregnancy.

If interested in joining the Diabetes Self Management Ed-ucation course, contact the DEC at 562-7326. A referral froma physician or primary care provider is required.

The center also has a Diabetes Support Group, whichmeets the third Tuesday of each month at CVPH. For moreinformation about the support group, contact William Mc-Call at 562-7325.

Salvation Army2009 Red Kettle

By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

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.

jewelry, a DVD explaininghow BeadforLife helpsUgandan women, and musicto keep the party lively.

“Then you just inventorythe stuff when it arrives andyou just sell it and send backwhatever you don’t use,”Babbie explained. “Theypay for them to be sent back,so it’s no cost to you.”

“I think it’s a good way tohelp women that are tryingto help themselves out ofpoverty,” Babbie added.“There are people starvingin this world and anythingyou can do to help them isgood. It’s a good product.They’re absolutely beautifulbeads.”

Babbie sold the jewelry

during her bead party and atthe Mooers UnitedMethodist Church, and hascurrently raised $1,100, allof which goes directly backto the women of Uganda.

“There’s so many chari-ties out there and stuff thatyou can give to, and there isso much hunger ... in theworld,” said Babbie. “Thesewomen, it’s not a hand out.They’re doing something tolift themselves out of pover-ty. It’s a really good cause.”

things,” she said. “Especial-ly cultural. So it was an op-portunity for us to do that,which was nice.”

Carr chose to have the Af-ter Five Brass group per-form the opening becausemember Frank Langr is amusic teacher at CCRS.

“They’re members of thecommunity, too and so wedecided to combine forcesthere,” said Carr. “They’rewonderful to work with andthey’re a real fun crew.They’re kind of differentmusic to mine, so it kind ofbalances the program in ... adifferent way.”

Although the concert did-

n’t bring in as large of acrowd Carr had hoped for,they were still able to raise$300 for future endeavors atthe library.

“I was glad to see kidsthere,” said Carr, despite thesmall audience. “That wasreally fantastic. It seemedthat everybody really en-joyed the concert. It’s a won-derful place to play.”

For the future, Carr hopesthere may be more possibil-ities to play for the commu-nity at the school.

“I think there’s definitelya possibility of more thingson the horizon,” he said.

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.”
