PLATTSBURGH — Even if you just likehowling in the shower, the Cumberland BayChorus is offering free vocal lessons from awell-known local singing coach at a men-only crooning camp for the next month.

Tuesdays at 7 p.m. in the Northern Al-liance Church annex from Feb. 28 to March20, the chorus will have William Verity onhand to give free singing lessons to whatlong-time member Dave Hurd said will be alow-pressure learning environment.

Verity's headed choruses for PlattsburghCity Schools, SUNY Plattsburgh, All-Coun-ty ensembles in Clinton and Franklin coun-ties and conducted the North West DistrictMusic Festival in Vermont.

Chorus treasurer Tom Maglienti said get-

ting the word out about the group and in-creasing enrollment can be tough. He wasone of those tough recruiting targets untilseven years ago. His neighbor, Dave Hurd,encouraged Maglienti to join up for years,but he always declined — until he retired.

“I couldn't come up with more excuses notto join,” he said.

And he's happy he couldn't. There's some-thing unique about barbershop, he said. Thetight harmonies of that a cappella style real-ly get him.

PLATTSBURGH — Likemany kids, Paul Carson readcomic books.

“As a kid you read themuntil they fell apart.”

Then he reached an age,around 1970, when he lost in-terest and sort of left comicbooks behind.

“I was like 13 or 14.”But one day he picked

them up again and he has notstopped collecting since.

In fact, today he managesthe area’s only comic bookstore: Fantastic Planet.

The term, comics, derivesfrom the largely humorousearly work in the medium.

Comics as a mass mediumbegan emerging in the Unit-ed States in the early 20thcentury with newspapercomic strips. That combina-tion of words and picturesquickly spread around theworld.

Today, comics are fond innewspapers, magazines,comic books, graphic novelsand on the web.

A growing number of uni-versities have recognized theimportance of comic studies,offering an array of coursesat the college level.

“I picked them up again inthe mid-80s.”

He and his future wife no-ticed they were written bet-ter than before and startedcollecting. They began withMarvel and DC titles, such asthe “Fantastic 4” and“Avengers.”

“We were just getting our

feet wet.”Carson began reading a lot

of independent publishers.“These comics were very

different and were the intel-lectual property of the peo-ple creating them.”

Carson and his wifemoved to Plattsburgh fromAlbany in 1985 and in 1987she opened Fantastic Planet.

“There was no comic shopin Plattsburgh, but it had thebase and a college,” Carsonsaid.

When he tries Carson can-not really recall why he readcomics as a child, exceptthere weren’t many televi-sion options and comics werecheap.

“You could get two andsome candy for a quarter,” hegrinned. “That was a goodstart to a great day.”

Nostalgia got him readingthem again, but he also stum-bled upon stories, almost likefilms, and it became anothermedium.

Comic books had moregenres, and there were nobudget constraints. A storycould include blowing up theearth or a fist fight at thesame cost.

“Comics are unique in thattwo people can read the samecomic and not feel they readthe same story,” Carson said.“When you are telling storiesin comics the reader fills inwhat happens between thepanel.”

He believes that is whycomic readers feel personallyattached.

“You don’t get that fromnovels because there is not

much left to the imagination,and film is not very partici-patory,” Carson said. “Theyalmost feel they have a handin the creation of it.”

He’s fond of a series called“Fables” and the “WalkingDead,” though he still readsa couple of the Batmanbooks.

“Everybody can jump intoa Batman book,” Carson said.“No matter what you collect,it should be something youenjoy.”

Group focuses onrestoring the StrandBy Stephen [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — A communi-ty with a vibrant arts community isa real community, says ThomasHoy.

The Chairman and CEO of GlensFalls National Bank and TrustCompany spoke at an evening ded-icated to the arts in PlattsburghFeb. 9.

The event was organized by thePartnership for Community Devel-opment, which presentedVision2Action, the State of the Artsin Clinton County.

The groups mission is to stimu-late dialogue and action, groundedin a commitment to the commongood. The goal is to generate in-formed perspectives on such issuesas effective planning and coordina-tion of efforts among citizens andkey participants in government,civic, and economic institutionsthat promotes a vision of the fu-

ture. That vision should preservethe region’s assets while cultivat-ing new opportunities.

Goals of the Vision2Action pro-gram include attracting 3,000 newfamilies to the region by 2040, cre-ating a dynamic and engaged pub-lic to address the community’s fu-ture, building a welcoming envi-ronment for new families and pro-moting a sense of regional pride.

Besides the arts, events plannedwill focus on recreation, trans-

portation and education.The evening’s events, which

were held at Plattsburgh State, in-cluded the Cardinal Singers, highschool theater groups, a scene fromthe play “The Pride,” Guibord’sSchool of Ballet and speakers.

“Never giving up is what youneed to do if you are going to getto the end of the road,” Hoy said.

Downtown Glens Falls was introuble and a group of business-men that wanted to revitalize it got

together in 1995. They hired a con-sultant and identified key build-ings that needed to be filled tochange the momentum downtown.

“We envisioned building a retailarea,” Hoy said. “We decided weneeded to control those propertiesand make sure the right thing wentinto those buildings.”

But developers were not inter-ested in being the catalyst to putfoot traffic on the street. Theywanted the foot traffic to alreadybe there.

Eventually, the group was ap-proached about live theater, which,after some talks, turned into a vi-sion of a theater with roughly 300seats.

In 2000 the Charles R. Wood The-ater was presented to the publicand it opened in 2004.

“It was one thing to build a the-ater, and a wholly different thing tooperate it,” Hoy said. “We decidedto rent the theater out to local andoutside groups.

“There are booking agents look-ing for venues throughout thearea.”

All sorts of diverse productionspass through the Charles R. WoodTheater. And there is foot traffic onthe street now.

“We are making progress,” Hoysaid. “If we were gonna save ourcentral business district, we had togive people reason to come to ourdowntown community.”

Locally, efforts have been underway for several years now to reno-vate and reopen the Strand Theaterin downtown Plattsburgh.

“If you have a location like theStrand, where people can performon a regular basis, it changesthings like you wouldn’t believe,”Hoy said.

CVPH Medical Center CEO andPresident Stephens Mundy saidthe Strand would help attract pro-fessionals to the area.

“It’s a game-changer to show theStrand.”

Less than $1 million needs to beraised to finish restoring theStrand.

“We want to be able to open thisin summer of next year,” Mundysaid.

PLATTSBURGH — Man-dazi filled one plate, EastAfrican fried breads, similarto doughnuts and eaten withtea or coffee for breakfast ora snack anytime.

A plate nearby held Nya-ma Choma, a roasted meatpopular in Eastern Africathat features an innovativeuse of curry powder.

Fried eggplant, a recipefrom Andalusia, featurestouches of honey and mint.

“I have never tried thesefoods before,” said Platts-burgh State student AliviaCocchi. “It is so cool to trynew things. It increases ourawareness of other cul-tures.”

The Multicultural Al-liance at Plattsburgh Stateoffered to students and thepublic “A Taste of AfricaFood Tasting” as part ofevents held throughout Feb-ruary to honor Black HistoryMonth.

“We put on a series ofevents that promote BlackHistory Month, and all theevents are free, and today is‘A Taste of Africa Food Tast-ing,’” said Josephine Gonza-lez, organization develop-

ment coordinator for theMulticultural Alliance.

Black History Month is anational annual observancefor remembrance of impor-tant people and events in thehistory of the African dias-pora.

It originated in 1926 as“Negro History Week.” Feb-ruary was chosen because itmarked the birthdays of twoAmericans who greatly in-fluenced the lives and socialcondition of African Ameri-cans: former President Abra-ham Lincoln and abolitionistand former slave FrederickDouglass.

The Multicultural Allianceat Plattsburgh State is host-ing an array of events for thepublic during February, in-cluding soul food night, po-etry jams, a presentation onthe “N” word, and a film se-ries and discussion.

“This food is all from dif-ferent parts of Africa,” saidGonzalez as members of theMulticultural Alliance hand-ed out food to those whopassed by.

“This gives people a tasteof Africa and makes themmore aware of the culture. Italso draws people in so wecan explain what is going onduring Black History

Month.”And on a small campus in

a rural, largely white area, itprovides students of colorthe opportunity to talk abouttheir culture.

“Our goal is to reach out ofour norms,” Gonzalez said.

People don't have to be

black to celebrate Black His-tory Month, she stressed.

“I believe this helps peoplestep out of their comfortzone, and that promoteswhat diversity and inclusionmeans.”

Emily Blair, a PlattsburghState student, tried every

dish available at “A Taste ofAfrica Food Tasting.”

“These were definitelythings I never tasted,” shesaid. “It was all really deli-cious and new to me.

“It is about increasingawareness of different cul-tures.”

The Burgh Editorial

As they say in the lottery, youhave to pay in order to play.This is also true when it comes

to maintaining the infrastructure of a mu-nicipality. In order to make it attractive topotential businesses, investors and resi-dents, you have to pay.

Recently, the town of Elizabethtownheld a public forum on the creation of itssewer system. Supervisor Margaret “Mag-gie” Bartley has stated that she feels a mu-nicipal wastewater facility is needed in or-der to bring new businesses to the area,using the examples of a car wash or alaundry mat.

According to the information given atthe meeting, a new sewer system wouldcome with a price tag of around $364 an-nually for a typical one-family home locat-ed in the new district.

We believe that improving the infra-structure of a community is crucial in at-tracting business and residents, and weapplaud voters of the proposed sewer dis-trict for having the forward thinking toapprove this project when it went to votein July 2010.

Elizabethtown is a town that many com-mute to for work at the county offices orschool, and would be an ideal place for acar wash or laundry mat, along with anexpanded offering of other services, likefood and recreation.

It’s like the phrase from Field of Dreams,“If you build it, they will come.” And ifthey come, the $364 is going to go down asan increase of system users and an in-crease of tax base will lessen the burdenon everyone.

We urge residents to approve easementson their properties to help make the $9.5million system a reality.

Along with the development of infra-structure, there is also the price that comesto keep infrastructure maintained. You caneither be proactive about it or wait to paythe piper.

In Westport, the town is paying for nu-merous infractions at the town highwaygarage, which was described by town su-pervisor Daniel Connell as a facility that isobsolete even if it is brought into compli-ance with state regulations. Town officialsare also looking to renovate their currenthome, known as the WADA Building, andmembers of the fire department continueto work in what they describe as an obso-

lete building.Voters balked at a proposed multi-use

facility last summer, and the trickle of vio-lations at these run down, obsolete facil-ties will cost thousands in repairs andfines. This tidal wave of expenses is al-ready starting to be felt. Instead of beingproactive when it came to the chance toupdate infrastructure, the voters of thetown chose instead to delay the inevitablein the hopes that a cheaper alternativecould be found.

The lack of forward thinking by thesevoters is now going to cost even more inthe long run, while community needs re-main unmet. We are urging Elizabethtownvoters to not make the same mistake.

A highly functioning infrastructure alsohelps with the image of a town and theself esteem of its residents. People cantake pride in the fact that they have re-sources that work and provide an avenuefor improvement, instead of always hear-ing about Department of EnvironmentalConservation Consent Orders that comewith lofty fines.

At the same time, there are also cases inwhich too much infrastructure was put inplace, and redundancy exists. For exam-ple, Keeseville is considering dissolvingits village government and merging it withthe towns of Chesterfield and Ausable.

If such a consolidation can save taxpay-ers the cost of occupying a village hall orvillage highway garage, than it is certainlyworth exploring.

That savings can then be reinvested inthe remaining infrastructure, ensuring thetwo towns do not find themselves in a sit-uation like Westport.

Ultimately it is up to town leaders tohave the foresight to offer plans that willbenefit the community in the most cost ef-fective way to taxpayers for years to come.

That’s what is on the drawing table inElizabethtown. Without it, our municipali-ties will continue to dwindle in numbersas businesses evaporate forcing residentsto seek employment elsewhere.

Infrastructure key to healthy communitiesThe death of singer

Whitney Houstonand the outpouring

of sadness remind us allhow one life can touch somany people and how theinfluence of fame, powerand riches can become sovery destructive. From mostaccounts the girl with thegolden voice rose fromsinging in her church choirto the top of the female popstar charts in the 1980’s and early 90’s be-fore falling into a destructive period of ex-cessive use of drugs and alcohol after hermarriage to singer Bobby Brown. Sadlyher story is all too familiar as so manywith so much to offer have traveled simi-lar paths.

Most of us will never be on the worldstage like Ms. Houston, but the impact ouractions have on those around us is no lesssignificant. How we live our lives, the ac-tions we take, decisions we make and as-sociations we embrace can ripple throughsociety having an affect on those aroundus.

Let me offer an example. Recently I wasspeaking with an individual who went toschool with my son over 20 years agoabout the recent United Way campaign.This young man and my son worked part-time at a local major business, where amanager there encouraged them to give tothe United Way.

The manager impressed the importanceof giving to those in need, of putting oth-ers before self, of being part of the largercommunity, and helping his company be aleader that cares about members of thecommunity by encouraging modest contri-butions by all staff members.

I was always impressed that my son re-alized that important lesson on his own,hopefully reinforcing what he had alreadylearned at home, through the example ofhis parents. That manager touched morethan just those two lives for the better-ment of our community, he ultimatelytouched thousands who will never knowthe impact of his actions as they share hislesson with those they will influence intheir lives. Sadly, that manager has movedaway and today that business which at

one time was very active incommunity affairs, refuses toeven allow the United Waythe opportunity to conductan employee campaign. To-day the business donatesnothing to the campaign. Tome, that seems a stark con-trast between the differentactions of two people in ex-actly the same position,through their ability to affectattitudes and actions of oth-

ers.We all have personal examples of people

who have touched our lives for good aswell as those who left us with a negativeimpression, or no impression at all. In theend regardless of what we’ve receivedfrom others we need to recognize that it’swhat we give to others that is most impor-tant. How we treat people, how we passalong positive values, or when we takejust a moment to assist someone with asimple courtesy, we have the opportunityto make an impression.

Ms. Houston’s life will become an openbook in the days and month’s ahead as themedia will look to uncover all aspects ofher life. One has to wonder how such anatural talent can be turned upside downsinking so tragically. Why is it that fame,fortune, talent, health, good looks, and somany other advantages she enjoyedweren’t enough to satisfy her? We maynever know how tormented she was in lifeor what pushed her life toward destructivebehavior.

At the same time, we’ve seen so manysimilarly talented individuals end up thesame way with so much to offer whiletheir lives seem to self destruct before ourvary eyes. The only conclusion I can reachis that as a society we must help keepthese folks grounded by not putting themon high pedestals so far removed from thelife of average citizens. These so called“super stars” must also do their part tokeep giving back and remain connected tothe roots of their community.

Whitney Houston: A tragic ending to a shining star

Dan AlexanderThoughts from

Behind the Pressline

Viewpoint


Iwonder why people are of-ten so quick to judge whatthey don't understand.

Maybe they believe in that mo-ment they do understand, butmore often than not, they do not,and they hastily judge withoutenough knowledge or facts tosupport their conclusion.

And even if they did have theknowledge and the facts, whyjudge anyway.

Maybe I shouldn't be quick tojudge about those who do judge,because over the years I havebeen guilty of judging myself. I'vetried hard not to judge, and thebirth of my son helped me withthat immensely.

Samuel Benoit Bartlett was amedical oddity from the begin-ning, as his heart beat far tooquickly in the womb and didn't

squeeze with close to enoughstrength as it needed. He wasstudied in the womb and born inBoston, cared for at Boston Chil-dren's Hospital for a bit, whereat 10-months-old he underwentopen-heart surgery.

It was the medical profession-als at Boston Children's Hospitalwho discovered Samuel had 1p36 Deletion Syndrome.

The congenital genetic disor-der is characterized by moderateto severe intellectual disability,delayed growth, hypotonia,seizures, limited speech ability,malformations, and hearing andvision impairment. The conditionis caused by a genetic deletion onthe outermost band on the shortarm of chromosome 1.

Samuel is now 5 and attendskindergarten at Champlain Valley

Educational Services.And it never fails that, out in

public, someone passes judge-ment on myself, Samuel or both.

I was in McDonalds once andan elderly couple spoke very

loudly about how he was too oldto be using a cup with a nipple.Samuel is not developmentally 5,in fact, in many areas he is not yeta year old.

On more than one occasion atthe mall or Walmart, someonewondered aloud why I don't lethim walk on his own. Samuel can-not walk yet, and may never walkwithout assistance. He doesn'teven crawl, though he is rathercute when he scoots on his butacross the room.

People have also made com-ments about his lack of speech,equating it to neglect by me.Samuel may never utter morethan a few words, relying on hisown form of crude sign languageto communicate.

I'm not the only person whohas experienced such judgement.

It happens all the time. Peoplecome across something they don'tunderstand and instead of accept-ing they just might not under-stand everything, they passjudgement.

These judgements not onlycause pain, but given the realityof the situation, they are often ob-noxious.

So maybe next time you seesomething you don't quite under-stand and which possibly evenrubs you the wrong way, holdback on the judgement and in-stead extend the benefit of thedoubt that it is not as it seemsand you simply, do not under-stand.

Benefit of the doubt over judgement

Stephen BartlettFrom the Editor’s Desk

If you are paying attention to the Re-publican primaries, there has been atheme of looking for the true “con-

servative” candidate.They say the front runner, Mitt Rom-

ney, is too much of a moderate, and thatthe “base” of the party is looking forsomeone who is more to the right of cen-ter.

Because of that, there has been a num-ber of surges in the primaries and polls,with people such as Herman Cain, NewtGingrich and Rick Santorum getting“bumps” in their numbers as each istabbed as the “conservative choice,” andthe candidate the “base” wants.

Here’s the thing, though. Each time one of those candi-dates bumps, it is followed by a slide and you are onceagain left with Romney, the moderate, as the front runnerfor the GOP nomination to square off against PresidentObama in the November elections.

So, maybe the base should get the message that there aremore people looking for a moderate than a one-side-of-the-aisle candidate.

What is the problem with being a moderate? Why is thefact that someone can look at both sides of the issue andsometimes side with the other party a bad thing?

Why has the fact that someone might change their mindbecome a character trait to be attacked? Circumstancesarise all the time causing you to react a certain way, only

to get more information later on andthen realize that you were wrong inyour original thinking. So why wouldchanging your mind when more infor-mation presents itself be a bad thing?

For me, the candidate that I wouldvote for is someone who will put thebest interest of the entire body of theirconstituents first, not someone who isgoing to toe the party line. That goeswith any election at the town, countystate and federal levels.

A while ago, I opted out of a partyaffiliation because I had a couple peo-ple ask me what party I belonged.Based on the conversation, I knew itwas an attempt to find out which party

I aligned myself with in order to try and paint me as a “bi-ased” member of the media. So I decided the best way tosolve that problem was not to have a “side.”

Since then, I have come to realize that what I am lookingfor out of a political candidate truly would probably be de-scribed as “independent.”

I have stated before that the problem with government isthat it looks like no one is willing to cooperate. When a Re-publican does reach common ground with a Democrat,each is shunned by their respective parties. Why, becausethey did the job that they were elected to do?

Each year I get more and more tired of watching a presi-dential speech, only to see it turn into an afternoon talk

show as one side of the room is hootin’ and hollerin’ likethe Dog Pound on the Arsenio Hall show (Google it, youngones) while the other half appears to be at the opera. It al-most makes me wonder if people are even listening whenthe President speaks, or if they are just programmed tostand and applaud only because the president is a memberof their party. If he is not, they fold their arms and sneer.

The fact is, I fully want a moderate as president. I don’twant someone who will only listen to half the room. Everycandidate is going to have a flaw in the eye of someone,but the ability to think freely and make rational, non-parti-san decisions should not be a flaw in the mind of anybody.

Donation made in honorof commissioner’s brotherBy Katherine [email protected]

PERU— The Peru Fire department will do-nate a defibrillator to the town in memory ofthe former fire department chief ’s brother.

Chief Brian Westover of the Peru Fire De-partment, on behalf of the Peru Fire Depart-ment, will donate an automated external de-fibrillator (AED), in memory of CraigTetrault. Craig was the brother of CourtneyTetrault, Fire Department Commissionerand former fire chief.

After Craig’s death in August due to heart

failure, donations were made in his memoryfor the fire department to purchase a AED.In the event of a heart attack or abnormalarythmia, an AED can be used to help some-one by delivering a therapeutic dose of elec-trical energy to the affected heart.

Family and friends of Tetrault’s donatedabout $1,400 to the fire department for thepurchase of the AED through memorial do-nations made to the fire department fromfriends and family of Craig Tetrault. West-over said Courtney Tetrault wanted hisbrother ’s memory to be honored by bringingheart health equipment to the community.

“Courtney wanted to see something doneto promote or save cardiac health in the com-munity,” Westover said.

The AED will be kept at the athletic fields

during spring sport season and during thewinter months it will be kept at the PeruTown Hall. In the event the AED must beused, responders are able to use them suc-cessfully with little, or in some cases, notraining at all to help someone having aheart arythmia. Westover said the instruc-tions on the equipment allows the device tobe used by any one in the case of an emer-gency.

“We’ve been lucky that we havent had touse one down on the field but as the athlet-ic programs grow and more parents are com-ing out on the field it’s better to be pre-pared,” Peru Supervisor Peter Glushko said.

Currently the town of Peru has one AEDat the highway department Glushko saidand the new AED should be on the field as

the spring athletics begin. “As soon as we get all our training require-

ments out of the way we will take possessionof the defibrillator,” Glushko said. “We wantto make sure everything is properly docu-mented and we have to have a doctor whosponsors our program.”

The town must have a doctor who docu-ments any use of the defibrillator and mon-itors its maintenance before the town can ac-cept the AED, Glushko said.

Glushko said he was grateful for the firedepartment’s donation to the town, but not-ed he hopes that it doesn’t have to be used.

“It’s a piece of equipment you hopefullynever have to use, but if you do need to useit you want it to be there,” Glushko said.

• Get moving. Being a couch potato can lead to weight gain and feelings of despression. Make strides to exercise or do something that gets the heart pumping for at least 30 minutes every day. This can include hosting a family dance off, firing up the gaming console for a round of virtual reality sports action, hopping on the treadmill or stationary bike, or any other activity that raises the heart rate.

• Play in the snow. Snow shoveling can certainly be a task that some prefer to avoid, but playing in the snow can be a fun activity for any age. Dress warmly and head outdoors to build a snow fort or engage in a game of snowball tossing.

• Take daily walks. As long as sidewalks or paths are passable, head outdoors and stroll the neighborhood. It’s amazing what sights can be missed when one is whizzing by in a car. Enjoy the snow-covered landscape before heading back for some hot chocolate.

• Visit the craft store. Visit a nearby craft store to stock up on items that foster creativity indoors for hours on end. Acrylic paints and plaster molds are an entertaining hobby. Avid knitters can spend time whipping up a new hat or scarf and glove set. Kids may find that scrapbooking or simply creating collages from magazine photos with scissors and paste is entertaining .

• Do some spring cleaning. Spring is right around the corner, so use time spent indoors to get a head start on organizational projects. Clean out a closet or room that might have grown clutter over the winter.

• Give your home a makeover. Now’s the time to tackle an interior home repair. Painting a room a new color or even installing ceramic or stick-down tiles can give a room a new look and keep a person busy for an entire weekend.

• Have a family game night. Host a night each week when the entire family gathers to play a game. It makes a welcome alternative to watching TV.

• Learn to cook. Use time indoors to prepare meals in advance or experiment with new recipes.

• Visit a museum. Now’s the time to explore places in the area (or schedule a road trip) that are just perfect when the weather isn’t.

• Host a party. Just for the fun of it, invite friends and family over for a party to beat cabin fever.

• Head to the movies. Watching a movie on the big screen can be a change from watching TV at home.

P e ople accustomed to spending time outdoors can grow restless when winter weather sets in for the season. After the novelty of the first few snowstorms wears off, many find themselves tired of being cooped up and begin dreaming of warmer weather.

In addition to general restlessness, cabin fever can cause sluggishness, weight gain and changes in sleep patterns due to inactivity. There are some remedies that can zap cabin fever, however.

United Wayfrom page 1

The mission of the United Way, which serves Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, isto be a leader in community partnership building and to increase the organized capacityof people to care for one another.

The funds raised from the campaign will be allocated to local community partner agen-cies based on donor designations and agency applications for additional funds.

A committee of community members review requests for undesignated funds and rec-ommends to the board of directors the awarding of grants based upon prioritized com-munity needs throughout the region.

“All the funds stay local and go toward supporting critical services for our friends andneighbors here in the North Country,” said Kirk Stallsmith, President of the United WayBoard of Directors.

Bernardi explained that many of the programs funded are through non-profit healthand human services agencies. There are some smaller organizations that do rely on Unit-ed Way funds, such as Compassionate Friends of the North Country.

Dan Alexander, Publisher of Denton Publications, stressed that without the United Waythese organizations would have to conduct their own fundraisers and funnel money intosuch efforts.

“They wouldn’t be able to accomplish nearly as much.”In addition to funding 39 health and human service organizations in the region, the

United Way coordinates a wide variety of programs, including Earned Income Tax Cred-it, Information and Referral, Disaster Recovery and Volunteerism.

“The team left no stone unturned,” Morrow said of the 2012 fundraising team. “We aregonna carry this into next year.”

The next campaign will be chaired by Gayle Alexander of Denton Publications. Sheserved as vice chair for this year ’s drive.

“United Way is such a dynamic organization,” Alexander said. “Everyone is givingfrom their heart, and that is what the United Way is all about.

“It’s amazing how people come through. That’s what the United Way is about. It’s aboutpeople helping people.”

Students list a variety of reasons for choosing to attend PSUC


PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh State was the only stop onJake Vassello’s tour that wasn’t plagued by snow or rain.

So he chose to apply to the college.“My parents said they would pay for a SUNY school,” said

the Long Island native.Students offered several reasons for choosing Plattsburgh

State, including price, location, size and the reputation of theprogram they were interested in.

Vassello is studying criminal justice, sociology and phi-losophy at Plattsburgh State.

The junior may apply to law school, but right now he’s en-joying his time at Plattsburgh State.

“I love it here,” he said. “It is a friendly environment, andeveryone seems nice. Plus, everything is slower here com-pared to Long Island.”

Plattsburgh State, a four-year, public liberal arts college,was founded in 1889 and opened in 1890. It is part of theState University of New York and accredited by the MiddleStates Association of Colleges and Schools.

Plattsburgh State enrolls more than 6,200 students.“It was the college in my back yard and the only school I

applied to,” said Alexis Harrington, who is studying socialwork and gender and women studies.

Plattsburgh State is located near Lake Champlain and theAdirondack mountains, a half hour from Burlington, Vt.,more than two hours north of Albany and less than 60 milesfrom Montreal.

The main campus consists of 36 buildings on 256 acres.Plattsburgh State offers more than 60 baccalaureate de-

grees and an array of minors within the divisions of Arts andSciences, the School of Business and Education, Health andHuman Services. Graduate degrees are offered in Education,School Psychology, speech-language pathology and liberalarts.

“I have been extremely happy here,” Harrington said. “Iam so involved on campus. There is never a dull moment.”

She belongs to a sorority that raises money for variouscauses and is heading to West Virginia where she will helprebuild a community for alternative spring break.

“I like the scenery and the closeness here,” Harringtonsaid. “It’s a smaller school, and there is always something todo.”

Kristin Vesely traveled to Plattsburgh State from long Is-land after learning about the reputation of the nursing pro-gram.

For four consecutive years, Plattsburgh State has beenranked by U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Col-leges” edition, as one of the top regional public universitiesin the North. In 2008, Kiplinger ’s Personal Finance recog-

nized Plattsburgh State among the Top 100 colleges in thenation for the value of its academic quality.

“It’s a SUNY school and low tuition,” Vesely said.She’s been happy at Plattsburgh State. She’s made a lot of

good friends and met some excellent professors.“It’s a really good environment and a friendly place,”

Vesely said. “There is a lot to do with Canada and Vermontnearby.”

Njeri Wright wanted to attend a SUNY school and chosePlattsburgh State because of how far it was from her home-town of Brooklyn.

“Although, now that I am here I think it is too far.”The junior also heard great things about the English de-

partment.“Some of my professors are so good,” Wright said. “The

English department lives up to its reputation.”She sometimes wishes there was more school spirit at

Plattsburgh State, but she doesn’t regret her choice.“They have done very well.”

Lady Eagles reach Upstate championship game on Stafford iceBy Keith [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — The Beekmantowngirls hockey team was in a familiar spot Feb.11, playing for an Upstate New York cham-pionship.

The result, however, was also a familiarone.

Playing in front of a home crowd at theStafford Ice Arena in Plattsburgh, the LadyEagles suffered a 2-1 loss to the PotsdamLady Sandstoners in the title game, theirfourth consecutive loss in the championshipmatch.

“This was the fourth time around for us,and the girls really came out and playedhard,” head coach Ray Guay said. “They lefttheir hearts out there on the ice and they didwhat we thought was their best job in get-ting to this point in the season and to playthe way that they did.”

Lexi Guay tied the game at 1-1 with lessthan a minute left in the second period, onlyto watch as the ‘Stoners scored on a powerplay midway through the third.

In the final minute, Potsdam goalie AbbyTardelli appeared to be out of position on a

rebound in front of the net, but swung herright leg out just in time to keep what wouldhave been the game-tying goal out of the net.

“She has been haunting us for years,”Guay said of Tardelli.

Guay also took a moment to talk about the

commitment and dedication of the sevenseniors on his roster, which included goalieChristina Emery, Jess Huber, Caitlyn LaPier,Amanda Kempanien, Bailey Waterbury,Sarah LoTemplio and Kirsten Doran.

“They have come through the programfrom the get-go, and I am sure that this istough for them not to get the win,” he said.“But this will be things that they will neverforget and they have been able to do greatthings and make friends that they will havefor life. They were doing what it takes to getit done.”

Guay said the team had met expectations.“Every year, you want to get to the Frozen

Four and give yourself a chance by playingin the last game of the season.”

The Eagles got to the championship gamewith a 4-1 win over Alexandria Bay the nightbefore, as Sarah LoTemplio scored twice inthe second period and Jess Huber added agoal as they turned a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1lead.

Lexi Guay added an insurance goal in thefinal minute of play. Her goals in the FrozenFour were the first of the season for the jun-ior forward.

Christina Emery made 12 saves in the winand had a total of 32 saves for the two days.

Sarah LoTemplio gets ready for a faceoff against Alexandria Bay in the Beekmantown semifinal game Feb.10. LoTemplio scored on the faceoff, the first of two goals in the game for the senior. More pictures from thisgame and the championship game against Potsdam can be found online at the-burgh.com.

Dan Lennon signs letter ofintent for Syracuse University

By Katherine [email protected]

PERU—The chase is over for stand outcross country runner Dan Lennon. The PeruCentral School senior has committed to runfor Syracuse University.

Lennon, the number one runner in thestate for a class B school, signed his letter ofintent in a special ceremony on Tuesday, Feb.7 in the school auditorium to attend Syra-cuse University and run for their cross coun-try team.

“We want to make it clear how proud weare of you,” Peru Athletic Director LarryEwald said. “Dan is the essence of leader-ship and he has exemplified leadership inour school.”

Lennon was joined on stage by his parentsDan Sr. and Betsy Lennon, cross countrycoaches Mike Francia and Alison Provost,and Ewald. Provost said the sky is the limitfor Lennon because he is driven, self disci-plined and a natural runner.

“He’s fearless, as far as going against topcompetition, he’s disappointed when theyaren’t entered,” Francia said after the confer-ence. “He wants to race against the best peo-ple to measure himself and see how far he’scome.”

As Lennon signed his letter of intent, hisfellow classmates cheered him on as he con-tinued through the three copies of every

form he had to fill out. One student cheered“Just breath Dan, you can do this” fromwhere he and the other members of the sen-ior class sat in the auditorium.

After signing his letters of intent, Lennonaddressed his classmates, teachers, coachesand family and thanked everyone for theirsupport and encouragement.

“Thank you for your support in me, it’smeant a lot to have the support of my peersand thank you to my coaches for helping meincrease my speed,” Lennon said.

Choosing Syracuse was an easy decision

Lennon said, after he had a chance to visitthe campus and meet the track team.

Originally Lennon said he was torn amongSyracuse, Wisconsin University and SUNYOneonta. Both Oneonta and Wisconsin haveaward winning cross country teams andgreat academic programs but Syracuse hadthe winning combination. Lennon said itwas the mixture of great academic programsand his future team that helped him decideon Syracuse. He plans to major in public pol-icy.

“The classes they had at Syracuse and the

prestige of their actual academics made itmy ultimate decision and I really loved theteam,” Lennon said.

Provost and Francia said though they areloosing their top runner at the end of theyear they hope Lennon’s hard work and dis-cipline will inspire up and coming athletesto strive to achieve number one.

“His experience shows other kids if theywork hard they can achieve anything,”Provost said.

new location on Emory Street in Morrisonville. “Hopefullythe transition will be seamless to the community.”

Roberts, who is retiring, spent the past 25 years as Exec-utive Director of the North Country Chapter of the Ameri-can Red Cross.

She will work part time until April to help Gilbert as shesteps into her new role.

Gilbert grew up in Saranac Lake and earned a bachelor ’sdegree in English from Plattsburgh State, as well as a mas-ter ’s in administration and leadership.

She was chosen by a selection committee after a compet-itive application process that included multiple interviews.

“I’ve always been involved with philanthropy projects,”Gilbert said. “I’ve always done fundraising.

“I just always wanted to help the community.”She learned that from her parents, participating in com-

munity cleanup day and getting her involved in the com-munity.

“It’s the way I was raised,” Gilbert said. “It feels right tohave the opportunity to give back.”

She’s always wanted to make a difference, and the oppor-tunity to earn a living doing that is priceless.

“The Red Cross represents so much,” Gilbert said. “It’s asymbol known around the world.”

Gilbert wants to start fresh with new ideas.She’s looking into youth development and wants to fur-

ther engage the community.She also wants to get out into Franklin County more.“Those townships need to know we are a part of them.”Gilbert hopes for an increase in volunteers.“I want to get people more active and knowing we are

alive and well,” Gilbert said.She’s been out meeting people, including area lawmak-

ers, and is open to outside ideas.“We want to move forward, onward and upward.”

“It's very gratifying, very satisfying to hear those chordsring,” he said.

Hurd said aside from Maglienti, he's recruited five or so moremembers for the group, and the time demands of group mem-bership, though modest, can be a hard sell.

“They're concerned about whether or not they can sing, butif they can carry a tune, they'll do just fine,” said Hurd. “You'reputting your voice out there for examination, and you're neversure it's right on.”

He, too, was slow in coming around to full-fledged member-ship. The group piqued his interest in the late '70s, but his kidswere too young for personal pursuits like that. When they wereoff to elementary school, he joined up for awhile, but highschool came along for his kids and he again had no time. Sincethey graduated though, he's been able to do his own thing.

And, he said, being in the chorus keeps him young.“Singing's healthy. Many times I'll go to rehearsal and I'll just

be dead tired. But after 45 minutes of singing the energy is justpumped up,” said Hurd.

All the oxygen pushed in and out of his lungs is invigorat-ing, he said. Many of the chorus men are able to participate aslong as they're able to walk.

Those who come to rehearsal don't have to join, unless theywant to go out to perform at venues with the chorus, likesinging for the Irishman of the Year ceremony for the Chamberof Commerce or the county fair.

The chorus is a source for quartets, though they only haveone quartet right now, said Maglienti.

Even one is a generous estimate, said Hurd. The lead for theirquartet bought a home in Arizona, though he comes back oncein awhile. When he does, there's a functioning quartet.

In the '60s and '70s whentheir enrollment was at its largest,they drew on the population from the Air Force. The Nashville-based parent group of the Cumberland Bay Chorus, The Bar-bershop Harmony Society, hosts international competitions. Attheir peak enrollment, the local chapter placed high in the East-ern Seabord district.
