CHAMPLAIN — The Papa John’s on U.S.Route 11 is locally-owned, which is somethingvery important to Tawnya Hanson.

Hanson, co-owner of the Champlain loca-tion, said many people don’t realize the major-ity of Papa John’s are owned by locals.

“With any franchise that has a big name, likePapa John’s, Dunkin Donuts, Kentucky FriedChicken, they think it’s that company thatowns it and it’s not,” Hanson explained. “It’sfranchisees that buy into the company name.”

Hanson, director of operations at M & WFoods Inc., said one day she was eating PapaJohn’s with M & W vice president Ray Aleywhen he brought up the idea of owning one.

“After a meeting we were nibbling away onthe leftovers and he said, ‘We should open aPapa John’s,’ and I started to laugh and said,‘Yeah, we should with as much business as wegive them.’ About a week later, he called meup. He wasn’t joking. I was. He said, ‘We’reopening a Papa John’s, where do you want togo,’” recalled Hanson.

She chose the location of Champlain havingbeen a manager of the Dunkin Donuts there formany years and being familiar with the area.

“I like the people in Champlain,” said Han-son.

On Aug. 24, Hanson, along with Aley andher boyfriend, Chad Brown, opened Papa

John’s.Brown and Hanson, both of Plattsburgh,

said they feel it’s really important for people torealize they are locals who want to help thecommunity in whatever way possible.

“We really want to get involved in the com-munity, we just haven’t had a chance yet,”Hanson explained. “We’d like to get involved

in the schools in the area. Maybe do an honorstudent program. There’s enough space here tomaybe have a birthday party.”

Brown said another way they’ve been work-ing to help the community is by extending theirdelivery zone.

“It’s well over the boundaries that we weregiven by Papa John’s,” he explained. “They

only give us a three-and-a-half-mile radius, butwe want to give it to the people.”

“I’d rather drive the extra two miles to getpeople the pizza and to let them know that weare here and we’re willing to go that extra,”Brown added.

That idea is also what Papa John’s is allabout, with Papa the acronym for “People arepriority always.”

The towns they now deliver to are RousesPoint, Chazy and Mooers — although they arewilling to meet people at a predetermined lo-cation if they live just outside those limits.They are also considering doing somethingspecial for those who live in Ellenburg.

“We’d like to eventually maybe have Mon-day be our Ellenburg night,” Hanson ex-plained, adding a location would be decidedupon, and anyone who orders by a certain timecan meet there to pick up their order.

Papa John’s, located at 1038 U.S. Route 11,can be reached at 298-3865. Orders may also bemade on-line by visiting www.papajohns.com,although currently only those in Champlaincan use this method.

Brown added they are always accepting ap-plications.

“The crew I have in the store, they’ve beenamazing. They’ll do anything for me,” he said.

PLATTSBURGH — The Adirondack CoastVisitors and Convention Bureau has bigplans for the North Country.

During a presentation of the bureau’s newDestination Master Plan at Clinton Commu-nity College Dec. 10, members of the gener-al public were given a look at the future ofthe region as painted by a strategic tourismplanning committee comprised of local com-munity leaders. The 25-page document out-lines how the North Country can capitalizeon its reputation for being a Mecca for out-door recreation enthusiasts and on its richhistory — particularly in its role during theWar of 1812.

Michele Powers, director of the Adiron-dack Coast Visitors and Convention Bureau,said its was clearly laid out in discussionswith committee members that there hasn’tbeen enough done to promote the history ofthe area, especially in regard to being thehome of the Battle of Plattsburgh and Battleof Valcour.

“We’re going to turn the volume up,” saidPowers.

The plans calls for an increased and ag-gressive focus on marketing the area for itshistoric sites and putting year-round atten-tion on the region during the early 19th cen-

tury. One facet of the plan, is a particularlyaudacious one, said Powers, but a corner-stone on which tourists can be drawn here.

“We are looking at rebuilding the entireBritish and American fleets from the War of1812,” said Powers. “This is a big one.”

Though the proposal is one that would costmillions of dollars to develop, Powers saidthe idea is in its infancy and would involvesupport from many sources.

“We are in the early stages of this and a lotof it’s going to take a lot of study and plan-ning,” explained Powers. “We’re applyingfor a grant that could really help infuse cap-ital into some of these projects and get us offthe ground.”

However, Powers said the bureau and theplanning committee realize grant fundingwon’t be a reliable source for capital.

“We can’t live grant to grant. We know thatsome of these projects are going to need to besustainable on their own,” she said. “Wehave to come up with a business plan to makethat happen and bring the right people in.”

Powers said she and the planning commit-tee are hoping to expand on the work that isdone annually by an “army of volunteerswho kill themselves to create a fantastic twoto four-day event” each September.

“The Battle of Plattsburgh weekend is fan-tastic. The problem with it is that last word— it’s a weekend,” said Powers, who said ayear-round look at history, including en-

campments, guided tours and the like arepart of the master plan.

Keith Herkalo, president of the Battle ofPlattsburgh Association, which oversees theBattle of Plattsburgh Weekend each year,said he welcomes the boldness of the plan.

“It’s an American story that needs to betold and the North Country business com-munity is just now waking up to that fact,”said Herkalo, who added tourism could relyheavily on the region’s history. “We’re hope-ful that the business community is going toput their shoulders to this moving forward.”

Local businessman Steve Carpenter, amember of the planning committee, said he’son board, knowing how important the planwill be to the region.

“This is going to affect the whole county.It’s going to involve everybody,” said Car-penter. “Everyone is going to get rewardsfrom this ... We’re all going to pull togetherand we’re all going to win at this.”

Bob Smith, president of Nine Platt Hospi-tality Group and also a member of the plan-ning committee, agreed. Smith added theparticipation from people overseas who have

a vested interest in the history of the region,in the United Kingdom, for example, wouldalso be key to seeing the plan through.

“We believe that the community, once theysee the plan, the vision, will be ready to in-vest in it,” said Smith.

Powers said the committee’s next movewill be to reconvene in January to break outinto various committees, with each commit-tee member given an action item on which tofollow up.

There may besome new com-puters under

the tree this year. Beingtech support for familyand friends I wanted toshare my personal stepsfor setting up a new PC.

The steps begin at an-other PC by download-ing and saving to a flashdrive Avira’s free forpersonal use antivirussoftware and Secunia’sPersonal Software In-spector (www.free-av.com and www.se-cunia.com).

When setting up the new PC we leavethe network cable, if applicable, discon-nected because a few things are donethat leave the PC temporarily vulnera-ble. The computer is booted and we dothe initial set up. Without a connectionto the Web we cannot activate Windowsyet. If asked to connect to a wireless net-work do not connect yet.

Next we go to Programs in the Con-trol Panel and uninstall all the junk-ware, especially the promotional or tri-al versions, that shipped with the PC in-cluding the antivirus program. (Usersthat are unsure can wait and uninstallsoftware at a later time.) We install Avi-

ra and then go back to theControl Panel and checkthe security settings. Thesystem may report theantivirus is out of date,but we know that and itwon’t be out of date forlong. We now connect thenetwork cable and restartthe PC (or just restart thePC and connect to a wire-less network). Eitherway, the Web should nowbe accessible.

We activate the OS andthen go straight to Windows Update forthe most current system updates. Whenthat’s done we open Avira, update it andthen install Secunia PSI and run it tobring all the third-party software up todate. The final step is to create a systemrestore point to save the current settingsin case we must revert back to it in thefuture.

Getting a new computer

Tech Talk By Ron Poland

Medicare recipients can sign upfor or change plans from Nov.15 to Dec. 31 during the open

enrollment period. This period is alsowhen criminals peddle bogus Medicareand Medicare D prescription drug plans.

Many try to tempt seniors with offers ofservices and products that are not actual-ly covered by Medicare.

The following are some pointers toavoid Health Care Fraud:

• Never give your Medicare or Medicaidnumber to strangers

• Don’t be pressured into getting medicalequipment, supplies or health insurance

• Ask your physician to recommend medical servic-es and equipment

• Don’t let anyone talk you into contacting your physi-cian to request a service or product that you don’t need.

• Never give your Medicare or Medicaid number toanyone for a “free” service or piece of equipment.

• Remember, if it is free — they don’t need yourMedicare or Medicaid number.

• Never accept medical supplies or equipment froma door-to-door salesperson.

• Never let anyone look at your medical records orprescription medications unless you’ve contacted yourphysician or pharmacist and gotten their approval.

Also, keep track of your appointments andmedical services, supplies and equipment. Whenyou receive your Medicare SummaryNotice(MSN), check the following:

• Your Medicare Number should match the numberon your card;

• If your name and addressare incorrect, contact bo ththe Medicare carrier and So-cial Security;

• “Services Provided” is abrief description of the serv-ice or supply, the number ofservices and service code.Also compare these to yourrecords.

Common fraudulentpractices are billing forgoods and services not pro-vided, billing for old itemsas new items, billing for

patient visits that didn’t take place, billing formore hours than are in a day, concealing owner-ship of related companies, and falsifying creden-tials and double-billing.

Check any insurance plan you are consideringon the plan finder at www.medicare.gov. If youcannot find it, it may not be legitimate. You canalso call the Clinton County Office for the Agingat 565-4620 to make an appointment with a healthinsurance counselor.

Helping Light up a LifeThe Light up a Life Campaign of Giving is fast approach-

ing. During these challenging times I hope that you will re-member and think kindly of all of the great work being doneby the staff and volunteers of Hospice of the North Country.

If you are not familiar with Light up a Life, it is a uniqueopportunity to remember loved ones who have died by mak-ing a contribution that helps to support the vital work beingdone out of our offices in Plattsburgh and Malone. Andplease, believe me, there is great work being done, the kindof reaching out and helping that means the end-of-life expe-rience is much more positive for individuals and families.

As strange as it may sound, unless you have benefitedfrom Hospice services, our involvement does make a hugedifference. There are the practical, tangible things done by the clinical staff. However thereis also much more.

At a time in our society when it has become easy to be distant and isolated from others,Hospice of the North Country reaches out and touches. We listen, we reassure, we ask thekind of questions that open up dialogue and facilitate communication. Often we open thespigot for discussions that almost miraculously begin flowing between our patient and theirfamilies and that is truly wonderful.

Hospice of the North Country is a valuable resource in the North Country. Demand forour services continues to grow each year. We are quite proud of our new facility on TomMiller Road in Plattsburgh that is helping us do an even better job of fulfilling our mission.We are also extremely appreciative of all who helped to make this wonderful, well-designedfacility become a reality.

We exist because of people such as you. We are here to help. At the same time we needyour support and assistance.

I am honored to have served as chair of the board of directors of this outstanding organ-ization for the past two years and for the opportunity to be involved with the Light up aLife Campaign of Giving. I hope that you feel we have earned and deserve your philanthrop-ic support.

Now that we havehad some consis-tently cold tem-

peratures, it is time to con-sider heading out into thegarden one last time thisyear. Now is an ideal time toconsider applying a wintermulch. In the spring, wemulch our gardens to sup-press weeds, retain moisture,feed the soil, and warm thesoil. In the fall we mulch toadd a layer or compost thatconditions the soil.

The primary reason for winter mulchingis to protect our plants from the harsh con-ditions of winter freezes, thaws and winds.If we had snow cover throughout the win-ter, we would not have to worry about this.Snow is an excellent insulator and regulator.But, we cannot count on snow throughoutthe winter season. Adding a winter mulchgives our plants a reliable source of winterprotection.

The main idea behind winter mulching isto keep the ground frozen by shielding itfrom the warmth of the sun and to insulatethe soil against freeze-thaw cycles. A steadytemperature will keep the plant in dorman-cy and prevent it from triggering newgrowth during a brief warm spell. Tender,new growth too soon will just result in more

winter die back. Mulchingnow will also help conservewhatever water is in the soil.

Adding a winter mulch issimple. Any loose, insulatingmaterial will do. Choose amaterial that is easy to han-dle and will be easy to re-move in the spring. Shred-ded mulch, straw, pine nee-dles or shredded leaves areall easy to remove or easy towork into the soil. Anothereasy to use, and environmen-tally friendly winter mulch

is the cut boughs of your Christmas tree.The rule of thumb is to remove winter

mulch in the spring, when all danger of ahard frost is past. That’s sometimes veryhard to judge here in the North Country, asanyone who’s experienced a May snow-storm can attest. However when the groundstarts to thaw and the smell of mud is in theair, it’s time to start raking and removing themulch so the ground can warm and newgrowth won’t be inhibited.

Although a majority of cur-rent day civilization haslearned to appreciate the

benefits of nature and the naturalworld, it wasn’t always the case.From the earliest of times, societieshave sought protection from the dan-gers of the natural world through thetelling of tales and legends that wereintended to ingrain children with abasic fear of the woods.

From Goldie Locks to Little RedRiding Hood to Sleepy Hollow’sHeadless Horseman and continuingthrough such movies as Deliverance,the Blair Witch Project and The Village, mankind hasconditioned children to fear the woods throughoutthe centuries.

Admittedly, the woods can be a mysterious andforeboding place and at times, it is only natural tofear what we hear but can’t see, especially at night.However, our greatest fears are the noises that comefrom creatures unknown. Often, these are the crea-tures that rest comfortably in our collective imagi-nation.

In our mind’s eye, the forest conceals a host ofwild animals, witches, demons, and a host of serialkillers that lurk in the darkness, awaiting the inno-cent. This process plays on fears that already existin most of us, it is also known as the boogieman com-plex.

Increasingly, American parents have grownafraid of letting their children to play in the yard, bi-cycle to school or hike in the woods, even thoughsuch irrational fears are not supported by the evi-dence or statistics. For many, the woods are a wildplace that is unbound by man-made rules or codes.Sadly, many people live in fear of these wild and un-

tamed elements.The forest can conceal a variety of

threats, both actual and imagined.Although it is a place where a manor child can become lost, never befound again, such incidents are a rar-ity. An unfounded fear of the forestis known as hylophobia and it affectsfar more people than most of uswould ever expect.

Nyctohylophobia is the muchmore common fear and forebodingof journeying in the woods at night.It is a sense that you are not aloneand it is a fear that can be debilitat-

ing for some. It is an affliction that extends far be-yond the typical shivers and goose bumps that areexpected after an evening of ghost stories aroundthe campfire.

It is understandable that we have a greater fear ofthe unknown, than of the things that are known tous.

An overzealous imagination can create monstersfar beyond any known to exist in the natural world,and as society continues to spiral into the depths ofnatural detachment; it is easy to understand thegrowing fear of the woods. We fear most, the thingswe least understand.

While hylophobia is largely an unfounded fear,there are at least a few psychological afflictions witha rational basis in the Great North Woods. Thesemaladies would have to include Agrizoophobia, afear of wild animals and Entomophobia, a fear of in-sects. Anyone spending time in the Adirondacksduring black fly season could easily justify becom-ing an Entomophobiac.

Likewise, many local residents surely suffer fromChionophobia, at some point in their life. Around

these parts, Chionophobia, an intense fear of snowis an understated reality, at almost anytime of theyear.

Time in the woods better for the classroomDespite concerns over a growing fear of the

woods, a recent study conducted for the Associationof Fish & Wildlife Agencies offers ample evidence toalleviate such apprehensions. Researchers fundedthrough a Multistate Conservation Grant of theSport Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program, un-covered a wide range of benefits that can be attrib-uted to spending time in the open air and learningoutside.

The study suggests “a meaningful engagementwith nature as a child has a direct correlation withinvolvement in environmental issues in the future,which should be of great interest as communitieslook for the next generation of environmental lead-ers.”

Additional research reveals that “people whoparticipate in outdoor activities tend to be happierthan those who do not and that active living maylead to a healthier lifestyle, based on the LeisureTrends Index” while “spending time in the open airand learning outside has also proven to increase stu-dents’ ability to think creatively and improve prob-lem-solving skills.”

The study also found that “students who play andlearn in outdoor settings perform better on tests,have higher grade point averages (GPAs), causefewer classroom disruptions”. It also found consid-erable evidence that “outdoor adventure programscan impact positively on young people’s attitudes,beliefs and self-perceptions.”

In general, the research indicates that among thebenefits of outdoor education is an increase in self-concept domains such as independence, confidence,

self-efficacy, and self-understanding.Additional benefits include “enhanced psycho-

logical well-being; an increased ability to overcomechallenges; a positive impact on leadership compe-tencies; enhanced decision-making skills, generalproblem solving competencies, academic achieve-ment and academic self-concept. “

Time spent outdoors also resulted in “an increasein personality dimensions such as assertiveness,emotional stability, achievement motivation, inter-nal focus of control, and maturity and reductions inaggression and neurosis.

It was also shown to improve mental strength andinterpersonal dimensions such as social compe-tence, co-operation and interpersonal communica-tion skills.”

Regarding aspects of health, learning, andlifestyle, the study indicates that outdoor skills pro-grams help to promote lifelong physical, emotionaland spiritual well being.

According to the report, “a growing body of stud-ies suggests that contact with nature is as importantto children as good nutrition and adequate sleep:time spent outdoors correlates with increased phys-ical activity and fitness in children; exposure togreen space reduces crime, increases general well-being and the ability to focus; children as young asfive have shown a significant reduction in the symp-toms of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) when theyare engaged in outdoor activities in natural set-tings.”

The positive benefits that the research revealsshould offer ample evidence for students, and fac-ulty to address professed fears of the forest.

The holidays are here, and life seems to be just a little bit crazier than usual. Are you find-

ing the holiday shopping, baking, and engagements are cutting into your exercise time?

Don’t be a statistic and fall into the group of people who tend to pack on the holiday

pounds. Between all the shopping and wrapping presents I’m sure a lot of people find reasons (or

excuses!) not to exercise. Well, I’ve put together a quick 10-minute workout for you to try (check

it out at right). If you’re feeling really ambitious you can even try to fit it in a few more times

throughout the day. You’ll have your 30-minute workout out of the way without missing a beat.

Understanding alcohol abuse and dependenceThe holidays can be a time of joy but for some, it can be

a time of despair and depression. Those feelings canalso be ones that plague a person throughout the year

and can be linked to alcoholism.Though the general public might not know the specifics, few

men and women would be surprised to learn alcohol abuse anddepression are often linked. However, it does remain a mysteryto many people just why some individuals can have one or twodrinks and not be dependent, while others must avoid alcoholentirely. To better understand why that is, it helps to understandwhat alcoholism is.

What is alcohol abuse?Alcohol abuse refers to having unhealthy or potentially dan-

gerous drinking habits. Those habits can include daily alcoholconsumption or overconsumption of alcohol. Someone whoabuses alcohol will continue to do so despite knowing their be-havior is causing some problems in their life, be it relationshipproblems, problems at work, legal problems, or problems with

friends and family members.

Men, women or even children who abuse alcohol are at risk ofgrowing dependent. When a person is dependent on alcohol,that person is considered to be an alcoholic. The strong need orcraving to drink is there, and an alcoholic will feel as if they needto drink to get through the day.

Is alcoholism hereditary?In a report from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and

Alcoholism, research indicated the familial transmission of al-coholism is at least in part genetic and not just the result of en-vironment. Research is ongoing to determine just what it is thata person inherits that increases their vulnerability to alcoholismand how those inherited factors team with environment, but pastresearch has indicated that a person’s susceptibility to alco-holism is at least partially genetic.

What indicates alcohol dependence?A common misconception is that men

and women who aren’t falling over whileintoxicated or blacking out when theydrink cannot be alcoholics. In fact, alcoholdependence can manifest itself in ways thatdon’t involve a person exhibiting any ofthat behavior. Men and women who havethree or more of the following problems ina year might be dependent on alcohol.

• The need to drink more to get the sameeffect.

• An inability to quit drinking or controlhow alcohol consumption.

• The appearance of withdrawal symp-toms, or delirium tremens (DTs), when theystop drinking. The DTs may include hallu-cinations, confusion, irritability, trembling,and seizures.

• Previous unsuccessful attempts to quit drinking.

What warning signs might indicate a problem?Certain warning signs also might indicate a sign of a growing

problem with alcohol. Those signs include, but are not limitedto, the following:

• Feelings of guilt after drink.• Making excuses to drink or attempting to hide how much

you drinking.• Blackouts, or not remembering what you did while you were

drinking.• Drinking in the morning, drinking alone or binge drinking.

How are alcohol problems diagnosed?Adults who have visited a doctor for a physical or even an-

other routine checkup likely recall their doctor asking about

their alcohol con-sumption. Doctorswill inquire about thenumber of drinks con-sumed in a typicalweek, including howmany might bedowned in an averagenight. Any answersthat raise the doctor ’ssuspicions might re-sult in a physicalexam or a mentalhealth assessment.The mental health as-sessment will be con-ducted to determine ifdepression has begunto settle in. The phys-

ical examination will look for the physical symptoms, includingcirrhosis, a potentially life-threatening condition that occurswhen the inflammation and scarring have damaged the liver.

What if a problem is diagnosed?If the doctor does determine there’s at least a problem with al-

cohol if not alcoholism, the doctor might recommend cuttingback on alcohol consumption. Should the doctor diagnose alco-holism, treatment will be recommended. That treatment may in-clude detoxification, which flushes alcohol out of the body. Thiscan cause withdrawal symptoms that could very well provequite painful. Group counseling, including Alcoholics Anony-mous, has proven highly effective for millions of people whohave suffered from alcoholism.

Men, women or children who feel they have an alcohol prob-lem should seek help immediately.

Peru High School class unveils‘The Pride’ newsletterBByy JJeerreemmiiaahh SS.. [email protected]

PERU — Students from Julia Miller ’s jour-nalism class are getting a glimpse of what it’slike to publish a newspaper.

This school year, the Peru High School classhas begun producing The Pride, a monthly on-line newsletter following the happenings inand around the Peru Central School District.

“The kids were really nervous in the veryfirst couple weeks,” said Miller. “Then, oncethey saw they were able to write about thingsthey’re interested in and that somebody wasgoing to see it, that’s when it really took off.”

The focus of the class has been to introducestudents to the world of journalism, acclimat-ing them with writing news stories, coveringphoto assignments, proofreading copy, and —above all — meeting deadlines.

“This class give them a hands-on kind of ap-proach to what they need to be able to do out-side of school,” said Miller. “Deadlines, espe-cially, are incredibly important and they un-derstand that. It’s starting to carry over totheir other subjects, too. That’s what I’m gladto see.”

The class most recently published its sec-ond newsletter, with Miller starting to see thestudents gain momentum in their grasp of re-porting on education, sports and lifestyle top-ics and production of the overall newsletter.

“With the first issue, we had tons of leadtime,” said Miller, referring to the firstnewsletter published in November. “This

time, there was a three-week deadline forthem, which took getting used to. They had tounderstand the importance of meeting dead-lines but also that they didn’t want to put outa product that wasn’t as good as the last one.”

What impresses Miller most is how stu-dents have been stepping up to the plate whencalled upon, she said.

“What’s really impressive to me is the lead-ership roles they’re willing to take, that theyvolunteer for,” said Miller. “They all want tobe in charge of something. It’s great to see.”

Sophomore Erika Diskin, who serves asgeneral editor for The Pride, said the class hadbeen an eye-opener for her, providing a goodfirst look at the career field into which she oneday hopes to go.

“I really want to be a writer, hopefully fora magazine or a newspaper,” said Diskin.“And, I think the thing that’s been helpful tome most is how to write news ledes becausethe ledes are what hook the reader. Knowingthings like that help because if I do get a jobin journalism, I won’t go into it not knowing

what to do. I’ll have some experience.”“I came into the class not really knowing

much about journalism and just started to re-ally get into it in the first week,” said sopho-more Noah Phillips, the paper’s associate ed-itor. “I just like the challenges of making theschool newspaper. Everyone works well to-gether and we’re pretty happy doing it.”

Though Diskin’s and Phillips’ passions liewith writing and editing, other students likesophomore Claira Knighton have found theirinterest to be in the actual production of thepaper.

“I love making layouts. I’m an addict withgraphic design,” said Knighton. “Anythingthat has to do with Photoshop or drawing orpainting — stuff like that — is just my thing.”

Though Knighton admitted she wasn’t giv-ing a career in journalism a serious thoughtbefore taking Miller ’s class, she said she’llnow be taking it into consideration when ap-plying for college in a couple years.

“It’s got me thinking,” she said.Sophomore Brianna Pena said the class has

also increased her interest in pursuing jour-nalism after high school.

“Now, I know what to expect when I go tocollege and I’ll at least have something undermy belt when I decide to go into journalism inthe future,” she said. adding she’s enjoyed in-terviewing people most of all. “I’m actuallytalking to people I might never have talked tobefore and it’s because of journalism.”

(Editor’s Note: The Pride may be viewed on-lineby visiting www.perucsd.org, following the link tothe Peru High School page and clicking on the cor-responding link for the on-line newsletter.)

D&D MeatsFrom page 1

Most of the roofs are done.”Dutil said she plans to have the store up

and running by mid-March. Although, itwon’t look the same as it did prior to the fire.

“It’s going to look totally different,” shesaid. “It’s going to be all Adirondack decor.We’re going to have a different kind of piz-za oven than we had. It’s going to be a lotdifferent.”

The store’s siding will also match the Du-til’s home, which is connected to the store.

Although Dutil admits the store didn’tlook too bad from the outside, it was in fact“totaled.”

“The back of the store is completely goneand everything in the store had to be com-pletely gutted,” she said.

They also lost two apartments, but withthe renovations will be able to add a third.Their house, which suffered about $36,000 insmoke damage, is also coming along.

“Everything had to be repainted and re-carpeted,” said Dutil. “A lot of clothing andstuff and things like that we just had tothrow out. You can wash them so manytimes, but it still doesn’t come out.”

Despite the losses, the Dutils are still out

and about in the community. Most recently,they provided Mooers Elementary Schoolwith an Exxon Mobil Grant of $750.

“Being my home school and my children’shome school, that’s why we chose it,” saidDutil. “And I grew up in the village of Moo-ers. In fact, my best friend’s dad was ourprincipal.”

Dennis Rasco, principal at Mooers Ele-mentary, said he appreciates the support D& D Meats has always provided the school.

“For them to pursue the completion of thisgrant application, in light of the fact thatthey recently had a fire, I think is just amaz-ing,” he said.

The grant will be used to support early lit-eracy efforts.

On June 18, the store will celebrate 30years in business with their CommunityDay, which will also serve as the grand re-opening of the store. They also are still pro-viding their Jeezum Crow Beef Jerky, whichthey often send to troops overseas.

With everything on the right track for thestore’s completion, Dutil said the only thinginsurance didn’t cover was some of theequipment in the store, which they are look-ing to the community for help with.

“We had a lot of expensive equipment,”said Dutil. “Now we’re on the hunt for a lotof second-hand equipment because there’s

no way we’re going to be able to replace thatamount of equipment.”

Some of the equipment includes dehydra-tors for the beef jerky, a sausage stuffer, cashregister, patty machine, pizza oven and fry-er.

“We have located some, but we’re still in

the search. We probably have maybe a thirdof what we need,” she said. “We still have along way to go on the equipment. You’re notgoing to find it all overnight.”

If able to help D & D Meats recover someof the equipment, contact Dutil at 493-2300.

D & D Meats in West Chazy will hopefully be up and running again by mid-March after a devastating fire to-taled it in September.

ALTONA — The Rockside Senior MusicClub is hosting their annual Christmas Par-ty this Saturday, Dec. 18, at 6 p.m., givingthe community a chance to boogie down.

The club, which meets every Thursday,has been hosting the party for the last fiveor six years according to member CathyCoty.

Coty said she joined the group because, “Iwas kind of bored, but not anymore!”

The party, which will be held at the Rain-bow Wedding and Banquet Hall’s GoldRoom, will feature music by the countrywestern group Back Roads Band, who also

provides music for the group the last Fridayof every month.

“It’s not just for seniors,” said Coty. “Wehave younger people that go. I think be-cause they think it’s called ‘senior club’ it’sjust for older people, but it’s not.”

This year ’s party will feature prime rib ofstuffed chicken breast for dinner, at a cost of$20. There will also be raffles, including a50/50.

“What we do is we raise money to buystuff for our club,” said Coty. “Equipment

and other supplies that we need.”Tickets can be purchased at the door or by

calling Coty at 236-7376.“Everybody always has a good time,” she

said.

PLATTSBURGH — Laurentian AerospaceCorporation has secured funding it needs totake the next step in establishing a presencein the town of Plattsburgh.

Andrew Edwards, chief financial officerand senior vice president of finance for Lau-rentian, announced Verdant Capital GroupLLC will invest, alongside the managementgroup, the capital required to allow Lau-rentian to begin an estimated $175 millionproject to construct a state-of-the-art main-tenance repair and overhaul facility forwide-body aircraft at the Plattsburgh Inter-national Airport.

“We could not be happier with the part-nership that we struck with Verdant,” saidEdwards. “They share our vision of makingthis a world-class facility.

The securing of financing is consideredthe next step in the process for Laurentianlocating a facility in the town, said Edwards,which has been a process that dates back to2006.

The closing of the financing is subject toa number of conditions, said Edwards, in-cluding “Verdant’s completion of final duediligence, the execution of definitive agree-ments and the absence of any material ad-verse change in the financial markets.”

However, Edwards said Verdant and Lau-rentian are “confident” the transaction willbe successfully completed on or beforeMarch 1, with construction of a singlehangar facility expected to begin in April.Construction would take approximately 18months after necessary engineering work iscompleted, said Andrews.

The new facility is expected to employ ap-proximately 900 people within the first two

years after construction is completed, saidAndrews. The highest paid employeeswould likely be Federal Aviation Adminis-tration-certified mechanics, he added, whocould earn somewhere between $75,000 and$80,000.

Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh,applauded the efforts of all involved for get-ting Laurentian to this milestone.

“If there’s an event that’s going to changethe face of Plattsburgh, it is this event,” saidOwens. “I’m happy for Laurentian, but, intruth, I’m most happy for Plattsburgh.”

Edwards said he is enthusiastic about theprogress made so far, but will celebratewhen closing on the project’s financing is fi-nalized in March.

“The time for major kudos to all of thepeople who are involved will be at the clos-ing dinner,” said Edwards. “I’ve got to tellyou, after four years, it’s going to be somedoozy when we get there.”

Local artist gets kick out ofpainting Father Christmason just about anything By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

KEESEVILLE — Lorrie Mandigo likes drawing SantaClauses. So much, in fact, she’s developed quite the pastimeout of it.

Mandigo has been hand-painting likenesses of the jolly,old elf for the last four years, making use of whatever can-vas she can — no matter how unconventional it may be.

“I’ve painted Santas on old medicine bottles, flat irons,ironing boards, silverware, light bulbs,” said Mandigo.“I’ve painted on all different kinds of surfaces.”

What Mandigo likes most about painting on the not-so-normal canvases is how her artwork provides new life toitems that could otherwise find their way into the landfill.

“I really like to paint on things that are recycled or foundor that would be thrown away otherwise,” she said.

However, Mandigo’s favorite piece to transform is onethat naturally take the shape of the ideal Kris Kringle.

“I love to paint on gourds. They’re just fat and they looklike Santas,” she said.

When Mandigo moved to the North Country earlier thisyear from eastern Texas, she brought with her a harvest of

more than 1,000 gourds she had grown in her garden, giv-ing her an ample supply of future Santas to create.

“Gourds grow pretty well in Texas,” she said, laughing.Mandigo also prefers cypress knees for her artwork —

roots of cypress trees that are native to the swamps ofLouisiana, Florida and Mississippi.

“They’re the actual roots of the tree but they grow up ina very cone-like shape,” she explained. “I discovered themwhen I was living on the state line of Texas and Louisiana.Tree farmers cut them down and crafters can harvest themand boil their bark off to work with them. They’re reallylovely.”

Most recently, Mandigo’s sister, who works at the North-woods School in Lake Placid, encouraged her to paint onhockey pucks, getting the idea from the school’s reputationfor being associated with the sport.

“So, that’s the latest,” said Mandigo, laughing. “I’d stillhave to say my favorites are my gourds, though. Especiallythe ones I’ve grown myself.”

Though Mandigo is also an accomplished artist when itcomes to painting murals and other works, painting SantaClauses is her true passion.

“It’s the only thing that kind of bubbles out of me natu-rally,” she said. “I just appreciate the season. And, maybeit’s because my father makes the perfect Santa Claus whenhe grows out his beard. Santa is just the symbol of happi-ness, family and being jolly. Everyone loves Santa.”

Mandigo’s complete works may be viewed and purchasedon-line at www.thepaintedsanta.com.

ON THE COVER: Artist Lorrie Mandigo holds a Santa Claus painted on agourd. Gourds are Mandigo’s favorite medium on which to paint thejolly, old elf.

PLATTSBURGH — Dr. Edward J. Miller ’s portrait now joinsthe likes of other distinguished members of the State Univer-sity of New York at Plattsburgh in an adorned wall in FeinbergLibrary.

The chemistry professor and associate dean of arts and sci-ences was honored in Feinberg Library Dec. 3, in a room fullof students, fellow faculty members and wife Rosemary,daughter Sarah and son-in-law Jason.

President Dr. John C. Ettling, who presided over the cere-mony, commended Miller for his 26 years of servitude to thecampus. He added the award holds the highest honor in theSUNY system and the highest it can confer upon a facultymember — the rank of a distinguished professor.

“Ed, I want to congratulate you personally and to thank youon behalf of those present and those who were unable to bewith us … for all of your service to this college, to the alum-nae, to the community and especially, of course, to the stu-dents,” said Ettling. “You represent the best we have.”

The ceremony also included comments from provost/vicepresident for academic affairs Dr. Patricia J. Higgins, who hasworked with Miller for numerous years. Higgins added sheknew Miller when he had a leadership role within the facultysenate, a role he assumed very early in his career. Higgins alsoworked close with Miller in various administrative positionshe assumed on campus over the years.

“We are very proud of Ed and honored by having him oncampus with us,” said Higgins. “On behalf of myself and allacademic affairs, congratulations.”

“We have gathered to celebrate the achievement of a distin-

guished member of our college and by extension, the honorbestowed upon our proud college,” said professor of commu-nications and presiding officer of the faculty Dr. Jin Kim.

“Dr. Miller ’s record of service in the areas of faculty gover-nance, strategic planning, curriculum development and stu-dent life issues has long been recognized on this campus,” saidKim. “His long and devoted service — both in the local uni-versity faculty campus senate are exemplary.”

Kim concluded the faculty as a whole is greatly thankful for

Miller having embodied qualities such as academic excellence,integrity, intellectual honesty and human decency.

Fellow distinguished teaching professor Dr. David A. Franzimentioned he has known Miller for about 25 years and cred-ited Miller for his extensive work in curricular planning, hav-ing prepared more than 20 courses for the campus. Franzi alsoadded Miller takes great pride in his heavy involvement withthe students.

“We should all take pride in his accomplishments and bethankful for his many contributions,” concluded Franzi.

Albert N. Mihalek, executive assistant to dean of arts andscience, opened his remarks with a few jokes. He added Millercould be summed up with one word — honest.

“I have worked next door to his office for many years andyou get the sense of how a person feels about students and theway they want to deal with those people in listening to themand seeing them day-to-day and [the way he] deals with stu-dents who come in to the dean’s office who have problems,”said Mihalek. “I’ve never seen a more caring person … he’s ab-solutely loved.”

Miller thanked everyone who attended the ceremony, peo-ple who put the ceremony together and his family.

“The last five years have been the best of my career; I’ve justhad a great time teaching and working with students and var-ious situations,” said Miller.

The distinguished service professorship is given to “facul-ty who have achieved a distinguished reputation for servicenot only to the campus and the university, but also to the com-munity, the state of New York or even the nation, by sustainedeffort in the application of intellectual skills drawing from thecandidate’s scholarly and research interests to issues of pub-lic concern.”
