For years, schools acr oss upstate NewYork have proclaimed ambitious mis-sion s tatements a bout p reparing s tu-

dents for the ever-evolving challenges expect-ed during the 21st century.

At the same time, soaring fuel prices, alongwith ballooning school employee benefit ex-penses, are boosting the cost of education.

Coupled with a shrinking population —school districts acr oss the Adirondacks havelost more than 30 per cent of their enr ollmentin 30 years — the cost per student to educatechildren in many districts has soar ed, whilefamilies face ever-higher school taxes and in-creased costs of living.

The state Commission for Pr operty Tax Re-lief notes that school districts in the Adiron-dacks have an average student populationone-third less than the statewide average, andtheir cost per pupil can be up to five timeshigher than the statewide average.

Throughout the Adirondacks, citizens haveheard about school district consolidation as away to save money while of fering a higherquality education. An in-depth study r ecent-ly concluded that consolidating sc hool dis-tricts in the state with fewer than 900 studentswould result in an annual savings of $158.5 to

$189.2 million.But consolidating schools has its serious

drawbacks — including exhaustive bus ridesand tearing apart a community’s fabric of life.

There’s a better way to achieve greater effi-ciency and save taxpayer money while retain-ing all the benefits of a hometown school —and that’s merging or sharing school districts’administrative functions.

According to the Adirondack Park RegionalAssessment Project study, only 17 per cent ofschools’ administrative services are shared inthe Adirondacks. Meanwhile, total K-12 en-rollment has decreased an average of 329 stu-dents per year, with even steeper declines r e-cently.

While s chool p rincipals h ave s ite-specificproblems to strategize, schools’ top adminis-trators — the superintendent and businessmanager — have mor e abstract decisions tomake, decisions more suitable to generalist, re-gional solutions.

Newcomb Central of fers a dramatic exam-ple of the prevailing trend. They’ve suffered a54 percent decline in students since 1980, yetthey are now spending about $61,000 per stu-dent for their education.

Or consider Indian Lake Central. It hasdropped steadily to 170 students K-12, yet itsannual budget has increased to $4.56 million,and its cost per student has risen to $25,553.The district, however, has a full-time superin-tendent, business manager and another top ad-ministrator plus a principal. In 2009, thesalaries of these four employees totaled$307,870 — all bankr olled by local taxpayers.In Minerva, the six school administrators earna collective $367,483 to serve a mere 100 or sostudents.

But Minerva and Newcomb Central havetaken one small step towar d merging admin-istrations, and apparently it’s worked out well.They share a business manager, a position thatroutinely pays $75,000 in r ural areas and farmore elsewhere.

The idea of consolidating administrativefunctions has gained some traction nation-wide. In Ohio, a top business leader is nowurging the state politicians to have only one setof school administrators in each county , amove that that is estimated to save the state$781 million annually. His proposal is based onan exhaustive study and its findings of consid-erable success for the move in Virginia, wherethere is one school district per county. A simi-lar campaign is active in Pennsylvania.

Former Hadley/Luzerne SuperintendentLen Gereau, who went on to become a region-al superintendent in Virginia, and is now serv-ing as an educational consultant to the state,said t his w eek t hat m erging ad ministrativefunctions offers considerable advantages in ef-

ficiency. But two main obstacles exist, hewarned — existing state laws, plus the politi-cal will of citizens, leaders and voters of eachschool district. Apparently, local citizens andtheir school boards don’t like to give up con-trol.

Yet taxpayers urgently need relief, and suchparochialism must end. It’s time that statelaws be changed to enable such consolidation,and school boards throughout the region takea close look at merging or sharing school dis-trict administrative services.

Guest Viewpoint

When it comes to health care, we needto think about this phrase: “Just be-cause we can, doesn’t necessarily

mean we should.”Not many years ago, physicians had a limited

array of testing available to make a diagnosis. Inthe past couple of decades, however , the num-ber, variety and complexity of testing has ex-panded exponentially.

Beyond X-rays, we now have computer -gen-erated CT scans, MR scans and PET scans. W enow have a vast array of interventional tech-niques for imaging, including angiography , ul-trasonography and others. We have far ad-vanced chemistry testing and genetic testingthat can identify inborn err ors of metabolism,occult tumors and other ongoing or potentialdisease pr ocesses. And we have developedwhole diagnostic testing laboratories, where wecan obtain tissue samples via per cutaneousroutes that in the past would have required ma-jor surgery.

With each advance in testing, a new pr otocolfor defining when and how to use these testsarises and becomes a “standar d of car e.” Lastyear, there was a major conflict when the Insti-tute of Medicine came out with a much less vig-orous set of guidelines for doing mammography

testing. Why the less vigor ous guide-

lines? First of all, mammogramswere resulting in many false pos-itives that r esulted in the needfor more testing and caused sig-nificant anxiety among thewomen who wer e faced withthese additional tests. Secondly ,there was str ong evidence thatthe age and frequency guidelineswere not significantly detectingmore cancers or doing it soonerto save lives.

There was an immediate out-cry fr om many that we shouldnot change the guidelines. Manywomen t estified t hat t hey w erealive because they wer e tested under the olderguidelines.

In males, the pr ostate-specific antigen, orPSA, is a test that has become nearly standard torule out prostate cancer. PSA will gradually risein virtually all men as they move fr om the 60sinto the 70s and 80s. As a consequence, the testwill continue to rise in “normals.” A sudden in-crease may be significant, but ther e is no ab-solute number at which treatment should be un-

dertaken. When the PSA rises, theprotocol suggests the need for aprostate biopsy, yet many of thoseare proving to be negative for can-cer because of a false positive in theform of a rising PSA. For everyonewho questions the benefit of doingan annual PSA, ther e is someonewho claims that the testing savedtheir life.

In the 1930s, V ermont farmerWayne Newton was the first personto be operated on for a diagnosis ofa herniated disc in his lower back.The surgeon involved later said theworst thing that happened was thatWayne got better . Ever since, wehave collectively had a fixation on

repairing herniated discs. Most back pain, hesaid, has nothing to do with disc herniations.

Almost weekly, I see a new patient in the of-fice with a complaint of back pain. Most have al-ready had an X-ray and an MRI of the spine.When I ask them what is wrong, the common an-swer is, “I have a herniated disc.” T echnically,when we look at the MRI, they do have a herni-ated disc, but it probably has little or nothing todo with their pain. I point out that the symptoms

from a disc herniation are those of leg pain andnot back pain.

As a medical student, a neur ologist intro-duced us to the “Matterhorn syndrome.” He saidif we do five tests on a patient and one comesback slightly abnormal, we then do four more.If one of those is abnormal, we then do evenmore. Eventually, we have cr eated a mountainof data that may or may not have anything to dowith the patient’s problems.

We may have a vast arsenal of testing capabil-ity, but every time we do a test, we run the riskof getting a false positive. Acting on that by do-ing more testing or by treating a problem that isasymptomatic may have no impact on the healthand well being of the patient. Yes, there are timeswhen testing is necessary and helpful and willsave lives and improve health. But “just becausewe can, doesn’t mean we should.”

To control the cost of health car e, we need toquestion the amount of screening exams. Maybea better history and physical examination couldavoid the need for multiple tests. It's possiblethat further intervention may be futile and causemore harm than good for the patient or the fam-ily.

Making ‘super smoothies’There is another gr oup of

outdoor enthusiasts, be-sides gar deners, that is

very excited with the recent springweather — the maple syrup produc-ers. In cold climate areas, like ours,sugar maple tr ees stor e star ch intheir stems and r oots befor e thewinter; the starch is then convertedto sugar and rises in the sap in thespring. Maple tr ees can be tappedand the exuded sap collected andconcentrated by heating to evapo-rate the water. Because needs to beconcentrated through evaporation,it takes appr oximately 40 gallons of sap to makeone gallon of syrup!

The maple season is completely dictated by theweather. If the night’s too warm, days below freez-ing, et cetera, the length and quality of the sugar-ing season is adverselyaffected. And as theweather continues towarm thr ough thespring, the maple tree’snormal biologicalprocesses eventually al-ter the taste of the sap,making it unpalatableand ther efore endingthe maple syrup season.

Maple syr up is an important part of the NewYork State’s and the North Country’s economy. Ver-

mont produces the most syrup in thecountry, followed by Maine andNew York. The cr op value of ourstate’s syr up is estimated to bearound $14 million dollars! Sincemost of the syr up is pr oduced innorthern ar eas of the state, buyingsyrup fr om a local pr oducer is agreat way to keep money in our lo-cal economy.

Not too long ago, most sap wascollected in buckets and evaporatedover a fire. Plastic collection tubingand reverse osmosis processes haveimproved maple syr up ef ficiency.

The sap still needs to be boiled in an evaporator ,but since some of the water is taken out during thereverse osmosis the time required to condense thesap into syrup.

As a child, I always wanted to make maple syrup.I wanted to tap our two large Norway maples andboil the sap on the stove. My par ents, being wise,never allowed this. Boiling the sap in your kitchenmakes for a very sticky situation. Boiling the sapon pr opane burners outside solves this pr oblem.And, visiting a local maple syrup producers is yetanother way to keep your kitchen clean while sup-porting your local economy!

PLATTSBURGH — It’s dancing, but it’sdancing for a cause.

The first annual “Boogie Bash” will invadethe gymnasium at Our Lady of Victory Acade-my this Saturday, March 26, with a mission ofhelping a local nonprofit organization.

Boogie Bash organizer Paula Schares said thebeginner dance instr uction event will serve adual purpose — getting people out on the floorto try new forms of dance and helping the lo-cal chapter of The Gabriel Project, a Christian-based network of church volunteers who offerassistance to pr egnant women and womenwith newborn babies.

“We help those in and around Plattsburgh,”said Schares, who is also a volunteer mentor forThe Gabriel Pr oject. “Sometimes the familiesjust need a few extra diapers, a little money toget them some mor e formula, some clothing.Sometimes they need a lot of assistance.”

Last year, 243 families were helped by the or-ganization, Schares said. Through the help ofmoney to be raised by the Boogie Bash, Scharessaid she’d like to see that support grow.

The other side of the coin, she added, is thatthis Saturday’s event will also educate begin-

ners to the dif ferent types of dance out ther esuch as line dancing, r ound dancing, squar edancing, English country dancing, contradancing and Zumba, a form of dance fitness.

“It always irritates me when I hear someonesay ther e’s nothing to do in Plattsbur gh,”Schares said with a laugh. “Ther e is. Ther e’slots of things to do here.”

The Boogie Bash will be a “perfect opportu-nity” to see that, Schares said, and give peopleone central location to learn and try dancesthey may never have been able to try before.

The honor was bestowed uponthe dir ector of the Samuel deChamplain History Center , for-mer county legislator and educa-tor during the annual NorthCountry Chamber of Commer ceSt. Patrick’s Day Br eakfast at theState University of New York atPlattsburgh Angell College Cen-ter March 17.

Master of cer emonies Kevin J.Killeen made the declaration,which gives surprise r ecognitionto those who continue to makecontributions t o t he c ommunity.Killeen hinted at who the honoreewas with terms like “hails fr omthe north,” “has provided leader-ship and legislation,” and “en-trusted to ensur e the quality ofhigher education.” However , itwas when he said the honoree hashad a “close relationship with the founder ofour lake and its past,” referring to Samuel deChamplain, Paquette said that’s what gaveit away for her.

“I’ve always referred to Champlain as myboyfriend,” said Paquette, laughing. “So,that was a hint.”

When r eceiving the awar d, Paquettethanked the chamber of commerce and thosein attendance, adding she was “humbled tojoin a very d istinguished lis t of past hon-orees.”

“I had no idea,” Paquette said after receiv-ing the award. “I’m overwhelmed. I mean re-ally, what a surprise. This is wonderful.”

Paquette served as a county legislatorfrom 1995 to 2008 and has served on severalboards and committees, including the St.Michael’s College boar d of tr ustees, SUNYboard of tr ustees, Battle of Plattsbur gh As-sociation, and Diocese of Ogdensbur g In-vestment Committee. She also served asvice-chair of the Hudson-Fulton-ChamplainQuadricentennial Commission in 2009 and

was most recently ap-pointed by the governorto serve on the NewYork State Ar chivesPartnership Trust.

Paquette took her ad-miration for Champlainone step further whenshe opened the Samuelde Champlain HistoryCenter in 2009. The cen-ter, located on ElmStreet in the village ofChamplain, housesmore than 300 booksand a h ost of items di-rectly-related t o t he r e-gion’s history.

Paquette is a graduateof the State Universityof New York at Platts-burgh, holding a bache-lor ’s degree in schoolnurse teaching. Earlierin her car eer, she spent24 years as a teacher, su-pervisor and eventuallyadministrator in theEast Gr eenbush school

district. She obtained her master ’s and doc-toral degrees from SUNY Albany and spentthree years as principal of the T iconderogaMiddle School befor e r eturning to Cham-plain in 1987. She joined her husband,Lawrence, in running his family’s business,Paquette’s Insurance Agency, until his deathin 1992, and managed it until the businesswas sold in 2008.

Paquette now joins the ranks of severaldozen others who have r eceived the desig-nation of Irishman of the Year since 1959.

Feds ban possession of fake potPLATTSBURGH — The federal government is crack-

ing down on the possession of pr oducts labeled asherbal incense but that are used like marijuana. Chem-ically laced “fake pot” substances such as Blaze, K2,Spice, and Red X Dawn ar e among brands believed toproduce a similar high to pot.

According to a press release from the Drug Enforce-ment Administration, side ef fects of the pr oducts in-clude convulsions, anxiety attacks, dangerously elevat-ed heart rates, increased blood pressure, vomiting anddisorientation.

“Young people ar e being harmed when they smokethese danger ous ‘fake pot’ pr oducts and wr onglyequate the products' ‘legal’ retail availability with be-ing ‘safe’,” DEA administrator Michele M. Leonhartstated in the r elease. “Parents and community leaderslook to us to help them protect their kids, and we havenot let them down. T oday’s action, while temporary ,will reduce the number of young people being seen inhospital emer gency r ooms after ingesting these syn-thetic chemicals to get high.”Sixteen states have al-ready taken legal action to contr ol one or mor e of thechemicals found in the products.

Since 2009, the DEA has received an increasing num-ber of r eports fr om poison contr ol centers, hospitalsand law enforcement regarding these products. Sixteenstates at least have already taken action to control oneor more of these chemicals.

News of the Week In Clinton County

Action takendoesn’t mean a done deal,say officialsBy Jeremiah S. P [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — TheClinton County Legislatur ewill pr oceed with pursuingbids to privatize its homehealthcare services.

The legislature met in reg-ular session at the ClintonCounty Government CenterMarch 16, where representa-tives voted 8-1 in favor ofputting forth a r equest forproposals to “explor e alter-natives for home health-care.” Legislator Samuel J.Trombley, R-Area 2, cast thesole dissenting vote. Legis-lator Jacqueline A. Walker,R-Area 8, was absent.

Dr. John W. Gallagher, D-Area 9 — one of the legisla-tors who voted for the r eso-lution — addressed an audi-ence of several dozen peoplewho turned out to speakagainst privatizing the serv-ices. Gallagher emphasizedthe decision does not lockthe legislature into making adecision to move forwar dwith privatization.

“Hearing what I’ve hear dtonight, if wer e voting onselling the home health carelicense tonight, I would bevoting no. But, I have to voteto explore the alternatives,"Gallagher said.

The matter was br oughtbefore the legislatur e fol-lowing an increasingly largeamount of money hemor-rhaged by the Clinton Coun-ty Health Department foroperating home healthcar eservices. Last year, the serv-ices cost the county mor ethan $5 million to operate,and brought in less than $3.5million, resulting in a mor ethan $1.5 million loss.

“Personally, I don’t care ifwe make a single penny ,”said Legislator Keith De-fayette, R-Ar ea 5, “but I

don’t think we can continueto bleed to the tune of two,then maybe thr ee, thenmaybe four million dollarsin the outlying years.”

Prior to the vote, legisla-tors heard from members ofthe public, voicing their con-cerns over the idea of thecounty potentially giving upcontrol of its home health-care services.

Registered nurse Jill Par-ent questioned what wouldhappen to those in need oflong-term car e, like the pa-tients she sees now. With anestimated average cost of$380 a day to live in a nurs-ing home and what would bea flood of new clients for thefacilities, the option of pa-tients being placed in a nurs-ing home is not an option atall, she said.

“The nursing homes inthis county are full,” Parentsaid. “So, where are they go-ing to go? Another city? An-other state? And, are we r e-ally going to rip them out oftheir homes, away fr omtheir family and theirfriends?”

Those who would chooseto r emain in their homeswould run the risk of not re-

ceiving pr oper and r outinemedical tr eatment as theycurrently do, added Parent.

“They could die or at thevery least, end up in the hos-pital, which in the end, is go-ing to cost us all a lot mor emoney,” she said.

Rosemary Giroux, a regis-tered nurse with the homehealthcare unit, said theproblem lies with the factMedicaid/Medicare r eim-bursement rates have de-clined in r ecent years.“Ifyou want the cost to besmaller, the best way to ac-complish this is to keep con-trol of dir ectly pr ovidingservices and not put controlin someone else’s hands,”Giroux said.

Others who spoke madesuggestions for cutting ex-penses within the homehealthcare unit, includingmaximizing r evenuethrough co-pays, of feringmore training that will ulti-mately make the departmentmore efficient, and comput-erizing medical charts to re-duce paperwork.

“If those things can bedone and make a difference,then I say they need to be ex-plored,” said Legislator Sara

E. Rowden, D-Area 4.When voting against pur-

suing with the RFP , Tromb-ley stated he was compelledby those speaking duringthe public forum against themove.

“I came here tonight in theinterest of supporting this,”said Trombley, r eferring tovoting for moving aheadwith the RFP. “But, I learnedan awful lot here tonight ...And, as the chairman of thehuman services committee, Iguess I’d be a hypocrite if Iwas to vote for this.”

However, Gallagher andother legislators r eiteratedthe vote would not lock thelegislature into any sort ofagreement.

“Just for clarification, sev-eral of the legislators indi-cated that if the vote tonightwas to sell the licenses, thevote would have been no,and I think that’s importantto note,” Gallagher said.

Regardless, the state mustapprove any potential deci-sion to privatize homehealthcare services, accor d-ing to County AdministratorMichael E. Zurlo.

Several dozens of people turned out for a meeting of the Clinton County Legislature March 16, voicing theirconcerns over the idea of the county potentially giving up control of its home healthcare services.

Raif Shwayri visits collegeon collaborative tourBy Keith [email protected]

SARANAC LAKE — Several New Yorkstate community colleges are joining forceswith a school in Lebanon to start an associ-ate’s program for students there.

As part of the partnership, Al Kafaat Uni-versity Director General Raif Shwayri madea visit to North Country Community Col-lege as part of a statewide tour March 17.

“We are visiting North Country, Ononda-ga, Nassau and Monr oe Community Col-leges,” said Rosemary Ortlieb-Padgett, In-ternational Student Affairs of ficer withNassau Community College. “We had goneto Al Kafaat and through that visit formeda partnership with them and have peti-tioned the state to help establish an associ-ate’s degree program in Lebanon, which is

something they do not have.”“Everyone is engaged in the learning

process and where we can partner togetherboth with Al Kafaat and the other schoolsin the state that ar e part of this,” Maur eenStyles, Assistant Dean For Grants andFunded Pr ograms at NCCC, said. “Some-times, we can feel isolated and away fr omthe other community colleges being wher ewe are at, but this is giving us the chance totalk to people who ar e doing the samethings throughout the state and give us newcontext to assess what we do and imple-ment that into a more global workforce.”

During a lunch meeting at NCCC,Shwayri credited the staff at the school fortheir efforts.

“The quality of the work that you are do-ing is fantastic,” Shwayri said. “The stu-dents that I sat with this morning were veryreceptive and interested in what was goingon.

He added that he liked that communitycollege model of smaller class sizes and

added that he felt college was about gettingstudents prepared for a career.

“Graduates should not just come awaywith a piece of paper that says I did this andthat,” Shwayri said. “They should comeaway with a job. If we have to choose be-tween the two, I choose the job. At AlKafaat, we have a database of needs in ourcountry and we will match the training ofour students to the needs that we ar e fac-ing.”

Shwayri said that ther e wer e times thathe would r emind members of his facultythat they needed to listen to their students.

“They have 10 ideas and while eight ofthem may be worthless, two of the ar e ge-nius,” he said. “When we started this, theteachers wer e telling the students to keeptheir ideas to themselves and I had to inter-vene.”

Shwayri also said that he enjoyed his timein the Adirondacks, especially waking upearly and seeing the sunrise in Lake Placid.

“It was stunning,” he said.

PLATTSBURGH — When Melis-sa Fr ederick decided to open Bat-ters Up Bake Shop, she knew shewanted to of fer more than the av-erage bake shop.

“I’m willing to try anything,”Frederick said. “I challenge thecustomers to bring me somethingthat they don’t think can be doneand then I do it for them.”

The r ecently-opened home-based business on Smokey RidgeRoad offers cakes and a full line ofbaked goods such as pies, cookies,cupcakes and muffins to retail out-lets and individuals looking tomake any occasion a special one.

Drawing from her 20 years of ex-perience in baking and cake deco-rating, Frederick uses her cr eativeeye to design “unique, one-of-a-kind cakes” that meet her cus-tomers’ specifications, using onlythe highest-quality ingredients.

“Every special occasion de-serves a cake that is made to be thecenterpiece of that celebration,”Frederick said. “If it is for a party,then you want something that isfun and personalized to the party’stheme. If it is a wedding, most cou-

ples want something that high-lights the love and elegance of thatspecial day.”

Weddings are particularly one ofFrederick’s favorite events as theyallow her to help others make theirspecial day even more memorable.

“We can of fer them cookies for

their place settings as well as de-signing the wedding cake,” shesaid. “Even cupcakes; cupcakes arereally big for weddings this year .So, we can design a cupcake tr eewith a cake on top. That’s verypopular.”

In addition to looking good, the

most important thing is to create amemorable confection that allguests can enjoy, added Frederick.

“It has to taste good, look goodand be something personal to themfor their specific event,” said Fred-erick, who added themed birthday,anniversary, and r etirement cakes

are among some of her highly-r e-quested confections. “I’m lookingfor my customers to be very excit-ed. I’m looking for the people atthe party to ask wher e they gottheir cake.”

Frederick has alr eady made animpact with her designs, cr eatingspecialty desserts for numer ousevents. Recently, she began postingphotos of some of her past cr e-ations on the Batters Up Bake ShopWeb site, www .battersup-bakeshop.com, and the business’Facebook page.

“I encourage people to check outthe galleries on-line and r ead thecomments ther e,” said Fr ederick,adding comments like “Wonderful,Awesome Cake and Cupcakes!”and “Your cakes are absolutely in-credible!” are among those left onher Facebook page.

“We make gr eat cakes becauseour customers have amazingideas,” said Frederick.

Batters Up Bake Shop is locatedat 10 Smokey Ridge Road, andopen by appointment. Appoint-ments may be made by callingFrederick at 566-9667 or [email protected].

Avernus Ortus among acts headlining‘Metal Mania’ show at Therapy

By Jeremiah S. P [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — WhenDustin Morris’ older brother, T.J.,moved back to town, so began theformation of the death metal bandAvernus Ortus.

The band — which is made upof Dustin on dr ums and vocals,T.J. on guitar and vocals, andKevin Dubuque on bass and back-ing vocals — has developed asound much along the lines ofbands that have primarily influ-enced their writing, said Dustin,such as Behemoth, CannibalCorpse, Morbid Angel, Hate Eter-nal, Deeds of Flesh and others.

“It can be summed up as a mixof energetic technicality and fero-cious aggr ession,” said Dustin.“The style of music we play is veryunique in the sense that ther e are

not very many metal bands here inPlattsburgh, let alone ‘extr emedeath metal’ bands. W e tend tohear from those that come out toour s hows t hat t hey r eally e njoythe overall intensity , speed anddynamic integrity of the music.”

The band’s first show in Platts-burgh was at the former Cof feeCamp on Mar garet Street back inMay 2009, and was one thatDustin said “went very well forus.”

“We’ve always gotten a verystrong r esponse after each showwe’ve played,” he said. “We hearnothing but positive things fr omthose that attend our performanc-es.”

Avernus Ortus has played sev-eral venues locally but has alsotraveled to places like Burlington,Vt., and Worcester, Mass., to havetheir sound heard. When not play-ing live shows, the band is finding

other ways to get their music tothe masses. Already, the thr eehave r ecorded a couple of “goodsounding” demos to submit torecord companies her e, saidDustin. They’r e curr ently in theprocess of putting together a full-length album.

Most recently, Kevin has been incontact with a promoter from arecord company called “NuclearBlast,” planning to submit a demodirectly to their European office.

(Editor ’s Note: Avernus Ortuswill play Metal Mania at TherapyNightclub and Sports Lounge, 14Margaret St., Thursday, March 31.The show — also featuring bandsWake Up Call, Forever Endeavor,Motion of the Ocean, Signals, and Allthe Rage — will begin at 6 p.m. Checkout Avernus Ortus on Facebook andMySpace for other upcoming showsand information.)

Last weekend, I trav-eled south to SchroonLake to attend the

15th Annual Adir ondackSportsmans Dinner . Theevent, which is organized andhosted by consortium of localministries, always draws alarge crowd, and this year wasno different.

Folks fr om W ells mixedwith easily with others fr omChazy, Old Forge or Dresden,and evidently, they all share asimilar passion for the out-door life. It is lar gely a blue collar audience,and camo baseball caps wer e the commonfashion theme of the day.

Seminar topics included bir chbark canoebuilding, waterfowling, wood carving,wilderness survival, turkey hunting, deermanagement, bass fishing, small gamme hunt-ing, and many more.

For the keynote address, an appreciative au-dience of over 500 guests filled the auditori-um at the Mountainside Bible Center as fea-tured speaker, Dave Blanton, Executive Pr o-ducer of Bill Jordan’s Realtree Outdoors tele-vision series, and the popular Monster Bucks® video series, related tales of his hunting ex-periences with NASCAR legend, the late, DaleEarnhart.

I never fail to be impressed with how effec-

tively the shared passion for anoutdoor life serves to foster acommonality among such a di-verse gr oup of people. W ithinminutes of arriving, I alwaysfeel as if I am surr ounded by agroup of old friends, althoughthere’s hardly a handfull of fa-miliar faces in the crowd.

The event, which has becomea spring ritual, always seems toprompt me to try a new activity.After seeing a bit of Wilmingtonbased woodcarver, Allen Aards-ma’s seminar on woodcarving,

I’ve begun sear ching for the woodworkingtools that I put away years ago.

Tickets for the annual event, which is fr eeand open to the public, ar e online atwww.sportsmansdinner.com. They are avail-able on a first come basis and unfortunately ,there ar e only 500 tickets available, due tospace limitations. Keep tabs on the site, astickets are usually scooped up within days ofbeing offered. In many respects, the gatheringcan be a life changing event. Congratulationsto the organizing committee for providing an-other entertaining and engaging event!
