News BriefsLeo Lee returns from Washington, D.C. beeBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — Leo Leehas returned.

The Seton Catholic CentralSchool eighth-grader has ar-rived back in the NorthCountry following his partic-ipation in the Scripps Na-tional Spelling Bee in W ash-ington, D.C., earlier thismonth. Lee almost made it tothe semifinals of the compe-tition which pitted himagainst hundreds of contest-ants fr om acr oss the nation.The experience of travelingto Washington for his secondchance at the national title isone Lee said he won’t forget.

“I was really excited to getto go to W ashington onemore time, and I thought Icould get into the semifinalsthis time,” said Lee, whocompeted in the 2009 nation-al bee.

Though he came withinone point of being includedin the semifinals, the 13-year-old Lee said he was pleased

with his ability being ranked42nd after making it throughone w ritten r ound a nd t wooral r ounds. The writtenround included words like“benediction,” “bonobo” and“Kafkaesque.” In the end,Lee misspelled the words“acetarious,” “pinealecto-my” and “vitelline,” r esult-ing in his overall scor e of 28in the preliminaries, just onepoint shy of him being able toadvance to the semifinals.

“I was pr etty happy that Iwas included in the top 275spellers fr om acr oss theglobe,” said Lee, whoshrugged off the loss. “I alsomade lots of new friends, andhad fun.”

Lee credits the loss he suf-fered in the 2010 ChamplainValley E ducational S ervicesRegional Spelling Bee for be-ing his motivation to win thisyear ’s regional bee and studyeven har der for this year ’snational bee — the last yearhe is eligible to compete.

“Also, my parents gave melots of support during this

him during the competition,”said L ee’s f ather, J ason. “ Ithas been an accomplishmentto see how Leo gr ows in the

process of pr eparing for thespelling bee competition andwe know that every kid sit-ting on the stage has her orhis own har d-working storyto tell.”

SCHUYLER FALLS — Residents ar e fightingto keep the Schuyler Falls Post Office open.

Post Office Operations Manager Dan Cr oninand Manager of Consumer Affairs DaveDuroucher, both with the U.S. Postal Service’sAlbany District, met with members of the com-munity June 8 at an open forum held at Veteransof Foreign Wars Post 309 in Peru. The forum wasan opportunity for Cr onin and Dur ocher to ex-plain that a study of the possible discontinuanceof services thr ough the Schuyler Falls Post Of-fice was taking place.

“I don’t believe anybody is here tonight to tellus that it’s a good thing to consider closing theSchuyler Falls Post Office,” said Cronin. “I’d bevery shocked if there’s one person here that’s go-ing to tell us that.”

The post of fice has r emained “vacant” forsome time, meaning the Postmaster position hasyet to be filled, said Cronin, leading higher offi-cials to believe closing the office would be morecost effective.

Approximately 30 residents from the area at-tended the meeting and several spoke firmlyagainst closing the office. Residents of the townare concerned about what could potentially hap-pen if the office closes.

The meeting focused on the options theywould have if the office is shut down, includingroadside delivery, centralized delivery, or usingthe Morrisonville or Peru post offices.

“The service is str uggling financially to con-tinue the variety of services to all Americans,”said Cronin.

As the managers str uggle with filling Post-master positions due to financial worries,Schuyler Falls residents are worrying about hav-ing to travel 10 miles more to use the postal serv-

ice or even having to change their addresses. “It’s not a done deal,” said Duroucher. “It’s a

study and that’s why we need your concerns tobring back word ... so that we can submit it foreverybody to look at. Do we like closing post of-fices? No, we don’t.”

Schuyler Falls resident Pat Brennan came pre-pared with a typed statement to be submitted tothe record listing his opinions and concerns onthe possible closing.

“In my case I live one mile fr om the post of-fice,” said Br ennan. “I will have to travel 10miles more each day to complete my normal postoffice transactions. If this change is allowed totake place we will be required to travel furtherto do a simple task. I know more families in thiscommunity will suffer the same circumstances.”

Brennan stated he, along with others in thecommunity, feel it’s an unnecessary decision be-ing caused by “poor management skills.”

Cronin explained to the concerned body that

neither he nor Duroucher “can control what theydo” but that they’re trying to cut out many lay-ers of bur eaucracy while everything else is onthe table.

Marjorie Johnson of Schuyler Falls voiced herconcerns with roadside delivery and the lack ofsecurity she and her husband feel. The Johnsons,along with many others, shared concerns of van-dalism and the stealing of their mail if the officecloses.

“We’ve had checks stolen and cashed numer-ous times,” said Johnson. “W e’ve tried to getthem to come directly to our house for deliverybut they won’t. We’re not guaranteed safe deliv-ery of our mail.”

The study will continue for another six toeight weeks befor e a decision is made and citi-zens ar e granted with 30 days to appealwhichever decision is made befor e it goes toWashington, D.C.

On an almost daily basis, our in-boxes r eceive r eports of yetanother idiot being nabbed for

trying to sneak dr ugs or illegal aliensacross the U.S.-Canada bor der. So, itbegs the question: What makes thesepeople think they’re so smart?

Sure, t here’s p robably a p ercentagethat get by undetected. That’s in-evitable. There’s really no way to makeany system 100 per cent foolpr oof. Buthow stupid — or desperate — do youhave to be to risk char ges that couldland you in federal prison? In our opin-ion, very stupid, and appar ently thenumber of stupid people out there isn’tdecreasing.

U.S. Customs and Bor der Pr otectionrecently nabbed a Canadian woman atthe Champlain Port of Entry for at-tempting to bring approximately 70,000tablets of methylene-dioxymetham-

phetamine, better known as “ecstasy ,”across the bor der. Now the woman ap-parently didn’t have these pills —which weigh ed about 49 p ounds alto-gether and valued at about $1.4 million— just sitting in plain sight. No, she “al-legedly” had them stashed away withinher vehicle’s gas tank (sur e, she couldargue they wer e planted there and shehad no idea that she was carrying morethan unleaded gas in her tank, but that’san argument for another day). The pointis, people will go to great lengths to pullone over on border guards. But is it r e-ally worth the risk?

Across the state, at the Buffalo Port ofEntry, another woman appar entlythought so. There, a 25-year-old Georgiawoman tried in March to conceal about34,000 ecstasy pills. This time, it wasn’tin her car. She was a little more innova-tive and decided she was going to passherself off as an expectant mother, withthe drugs being her little bundle of joy.Amazing.

Rewind back to February and back onour side of the state, a 37-year-old Cana-dian man created a false floor in his ve-hicle to hide about 40 pounds of ecstasypills. Earlier that month, another Cana-dian man, this time a 54-year-old fromOntario, tried to sneak about 50,000 ec-stasy pills thr ough the St. Regis Mo-hawk Reservation. No such luck on both

counts.These are just a few of the cases that

have been reported since the beginningof the year. And, that’s just ecstasy. Mar-ijuana, cocaine, and illegal aliens (yes,we’re getting to that part), ar e beingsmuggled acr oss the world’s longestand most unsecured border on a routinebasis.

When speaking to of ficials with theU.S. Attorney’s Of fice, getting a clearpicture of what consequences face per-petrators can be a little dif ficult. It alldepends on things lik e the seve rity ofthe crime, whether it’s a first-time of-fense, or if payment is involved for traf-ficking the contraband or persons. Finescould be levied in the tens of thousandsif not hundreds of thousands of dollarsrange and jail-time could amount to fiveto 10 years or mor e — again, based onthe details of the case.

Either way, you’d better hope it’sworth doing the time for doing thecrime.

What’s the solution to this ever-grow-ing pr oblem? Eternal vigilance. And,though Andrew Jackson said that’s theprice of liberty, it’s our belief it’s the keyto eternal security.

We have to face facts. In a nationemerging from one of the most devastat-ing financial crises the world has everseen — and arguably still in the middle

of it with no end in sight — we don’thave the money or the r esources toproperly secure our bor der. There sim-ply isn’t enough cash in our cof fers todo it. Even with federally funded pro-grams like Operation Stonegar den —which provides money for departmentsto pur chase necessary equipment suchas v ehicles, l icense p late r eaders a ndcameras to enhance security along theU.S.-Canada border — it’s just a drop inthe bucket compar ed to what it wouldreally cost to pr operly combat illegalcross-border activity.

What we need is community-activecitizens who keep their eyes peeled forsuspicious activity and r eport it. W eneed more neighborhood watch groupsboasting their presence in not just com-munities along the border, but commu-nities everywher e. It’s only with mor eeyes and ears out there that we’re goingto reduce the criminal element.

Bottom line: If you see something sus-picious, report it!

LettersFrom page 6even hear chickens, unlike a noisy dog that can keep thewhole neighborhood awake (and an enclosed chicken won’tpoop in someone else’s yar d – also as opposed to dogs).Chicken keepers, like other pet keepers would be expectedto be good pet owners and adhere to common standards: qui-et, clean, stink-free.

Unlike other pets, however , backyar d chickens pr oduceeggs. Eggs from small home raised flocks are not only safer,but are also more nutritious than eggs fr om industrial con-fined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and they taste bet-ter too. People all over the U.S.A. who care about their fam-ily’s food and about the environment are raising chickens intheir backyard.

Taxpaying city residents should have the right to raise oneto four hens. Small backyar d flocks ar e a practical way toeat locally raised food and to live a mor e sustainablelifestyle. Hand-raised chickens thrive in small backyar dcoops and become docile family pets. Raising chickens is aneducational and enriching experience for families with chil-dren (brooding hens is a popular science fair project, even).For families with food allergies or sensitivities, home-raisedeggs are a wonderful, safe, and inexpensive sour ce of pr o-tein. The Common Council and the Mayor should put aCharter Amendment on the ballot in the fall that changes thedefinition of “Livestock” to allow for the keeping of a lim-ited number of hens on one’s own pr operty. Further , theCouncil and the Mayor should work to craft an ordinance bywhich chicken keeping can be a positive experience for allmembers of the City of Plattsburgh.

Concerns over religious bashingJeers to the local daily newspaper for allow-

ing the atheist posing as an agnostic to teardown faith in God in the May 30 Speakout.

He or she expr essed no positive portrayalof his or her own belief (or anti-belief) but justbashed those who cling to God.

It is the policy of the newspaper to publishthat which will “advance the discussion of is-sues, not to make personal judgments aboutother contributors.” It also “reserves the right not to publishletters it judges to be inappropriate.”

I'm sure a Speakout fr om a Muslim tearing down Jewishbelievers or a Baptist tearing down Catholicism would havebeen deemed inappropriate. So why was an atheist allowedto disparage those who believe in God and trust in prayer?

This is one example of a gr owing trend I have noticed inLetters to the Editor and Speakouts of one group (religious,political, etc.) taking swipes at another . A more careful se-lection of what is printed is needed.

Lots of head shakingand joke makinghave been taking

place over the most curr entfall from grace for U.S. Rep.Anthony Weiner (D-NY). Incase you haven’t hear d, thecongressman fr om NewYork’s 9th District r ecentlyadmitted sending explicitpictures of himself towomen via various forms ofsocial media, after original-ly denying he had done so,blaming it on unscr upulous“hackers.”

Congressman W einerjoins an ever-growing frater-nity of elected of ficials,sports her oes, movie stars,celebrities and others socalled “superstars” who we,the public, have allowed tobe placed on a pedestalabove the common person.In doing so, we set them upfor a fall from grace and our-selves for disappointment attheir failure.

But, is it r eally their fail-ure or ours?

Few among us can r esistthe lur e of “fame” and thefortunes and many fringes

that accompany that elitestatus. Unfortunately, ratherthan r ecognizing the privi-lege of such a role, nearly allgravitate to the entitlementsof their status to gain evenmore of what they crave.They become self consumedand assume they can do nowrong, or at least becomeblinded to society’s moralcode of standards.

Perhaps setting these“special people” apart fr omourselves is just part of lifeand cannot be avoided? Theold saying, “Power corrupts,and absolute power corruptsabsolutely,” is something wejust can’t escape. Human na-ture seems titled toward ex-cesses even when the excess-es cross the line and becomean addiction.

So how are we to blame forwhat these folks who’ve losttheir way have done? W eplace them on that pedestal,and we keep them ther e fartoo long. W e turned theminto idols and lavish themwith praise and honors thatgo far beyond their owngood. We take the simple act

of appr eciatinga certain talentand turn it intoa cottage in-dustry. As apeople, we be-come as muchaddicted toproclaimingtheir fame asthey ar e in ac-cepting therole.

We all canname hun-dreds, if not thousands, ofpeople who have crashedand burned, failing of f thepedestal as a r esult of theirown successful excesses. Butwas it all their doing, or ourdoing or is it simply just partof our human DNA that weare so susceptible to fall intothis trap? How can we tem-per our desire to want to em-ulate, appr eciate, and be apart of someone else’s suc-cess without letting it go totheir head?

I think it starts at homewith us and the things wevalue as a society . Do weplace our faith and trust in a

supreme be-ing or do webecomeoverly ob-sessed by arace cardriver orgolfer orsome othersports starwhose num-ber we’vetattooed toour body ,picture

we’ve got hanging all overour rooms or on the scr een-saver and who’sFacebook/Twitter page wecan’t survive without view-ing every few minutes?

Even within the r eligiousculture, we see these addic-tive abuses. Priests, pr each-ers and elders who lost sightof their tr ue purpose. Theyend up becoming mor e im-portant than the people theywere given the job to helpguide. But again was it en-tirely them to blame or didwe give them the license togo astray? The authority thatthey used to commit their of-

fenses ultimately came fromthe position, faith and blindtrust we placed in them. Ifear we too ar e culpable fortheir failures.

The same holds tr ue withthe status given to our elect-ed of ficials. W e must notgrant them some superstar ,above the cr owd status. W eelected a person to an of ficeto do an important job repre-senting the people. When weallow them to stay in thatrole too long, grant them theauthority to pass laws thatdo not apply to themselves,give them benefits and op-portunities to accumulateriches not afforded the aver-age person, and tr eat themlike royalty, is it any wonderthey ar e bewilder ed whenwe suddenly question theiractions or even expect themto stand up to their mis-takes?

Unless we want mor e ofthe same, we must holdthem accountable for theiractions and they must un-derstand just who they workfor. They have serious busi-ness to conduct, and we

must maintain a tight but re-spectful rein on their actionsand never be willing to givethem a fr ee pass for lack ofcommitment or indiscr e-tions to their role.

That is why CongressmanWeiner should, withoutpressure fr om his con-stituents or peers, under-stand that he has violatedthe people’s trust and can nolonger hold public office. Hemust step down. Unfortu-nately, he is blinded by hisown power and authorityand is most likely blamingthe majority of his problemson everyone but himself.And that, in itself, is the rootproblem for much of whatails our society today. Blamestarts at home. W e’ve putpeople into positions thatsooner or later will result ina meltdown. It’s up to us toshoulder some of the blameand seek solutions that willhelp others avoid a similarfate in the future.

My mother -in-law has lar ge,beautiful

lavender plants outside ofher front door in southernPennsylvania. All summerlong, the plants pr oduceprofuse sweet-smellingblossoms that make me en-vious. Most lavenders ar enot cold hardy to northernNew York. Luckily, there isa cold hardy perennial thatis a wonderful substitutefor lavender — Nepeta orcatmint.

Nepeta is a member of the mint familythat is extremely easy to grow since it hasfew pest pr oblems and almost thrives onneglect. The plant’s foliage is slightly aro-matic and grey-green in color. The flowerscan be white, pink, or lavender -blue andbloom on long spikes early in the summer.Cutting the plants back after the initialbloom often r esults in both a tidier plantand a new flush of flowers.

This deer-resistant plant is hardy to zone4 and prefers full sun to part shade. Nepe-ta does best in a lean soil that is partiallysandy. Too much fertilizer causes floppyfoliage.

Nepeta is a classic underplanting for ros-es. The colors complement and the foliagehides the ugly “knees” of the rose bush. It

is also a wonderful plant foredging, for spilling overwalls and walkways and forsoftening spiky plants likeiris and yucca. The pastelblues combine well withpinks and yellows, such asday lilies and yarrow (achil-lea).

Some suggested varietiesto try include: “Felix” whichis only 12-inch high and hasvivid lavender -blue flow-ers; “Six Hills Giant” whichis one of the tallest growing

nepetas at 3 feet; “Sweet Dreams” is 2 feethigh and has pink flowers with bur gundybracts; and “Walker ’s Low” which is about2 feet by 2 feet and bears long spikes oflavender-blue flowers.

Most of the newer nepeta varieties ar esterile so you won’t be able to pr opagatethem by seed. They do take well to divid-ing in the spring — which I like. I havesome Walker ’s Low gr owing in fr ont of aservice berry tree and know of several oth-er ar eas wher e it would look nice in mygardens!

Lavender’s cold hardy alternativeWith today’s hectic

lifestyles and busyschedules, it can

be a real challenge when tryingto find time to fit in exer cise.The key is to make it conven-ient. Try some of the followingtips to squeeze mor e physicalactivity into your busy day.

Wake up Early: Wake up 30minutes early and use the timeto go for a walk, jog, do yoga,or even strength train.

Make Household ChoresCount: When you’r e doingyour chores, do them at a fast enough pace toget your heart rate going both indoors and out.

Be Active While W atching TV: Use handweights, ride a stationary bike or do your fa-vorite stretching routine while watching yourfavorite shows.

Involve The Whole Family: Take familywalks before or after dinner. Play catch, or ridebikes. It’s best to work up to 30 minutes of ex-ercise daily, but you can get that in with shortbursts throughout the day.

Walk The Dog: If you have a dog, tr eathim/her to a brisk walk. It will become routineand they will be just as excited about gettingexercise as you will be.

Get Social: Some people do better when hav-ing a commitment to another person or a group.Look up some gr oup exer cise classes, find ahiking club, or join a team.

Be Active While Running Er-rands: Park at the back of the lotwhen you go to the stor e. Takethe stairs instead of an elevatoror escalator when at the mall.

Make The Most Of Y ourCommute: Walk, r un, or ride abike to work instead of driving.

Take Fitness Breaks At Work:Instead of hanging out in thelounge, take a short walk.

Start A Lunchtime W alkingGroup W ith Co-workers: Theregular r outine and support ofyour co-workers may help you

stick to a program.Schedule physical activity as you would any

other appointment during the day: Don’tchange your exercise plans for every interrup-tion that comes along. Remind yourself thatphysical activity is important, too.

If you travel for work, plan ahead. Bring yourjump-rope or choose a hotel that has fitness fa-cilities. If you’re stuck in an airport waiting fora plane, grab your bags and take a walk.

Remember, there is no single best way to fitexercise into your day. Do what works for you,and make a habit of getting some form of phys-ical activity everyday.

Scleroderma not necessarily a death sentence, says local womanBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

BEEKMANTOWN — JulieMooso and W endy Faubert ar en’tgoing to let scler oderma get thebest of them if they have anythingto say about it.

The two have each been livingwith the autoimmune disor der forthe past few years, with Mooso be-ing diagnosed in 2008 and Faubertin 2005. It’s been a long r oad foreach of them in such a short time,but it’s one that holds a lot of prom-ise, they said.

“The first year , I spent it on thecouch. I r eally couldn’t movemuch,” said Mooso, formerly ofChamplain now of Coatesville, Pa.“But, then I started going to arheumatologist and got on the rightmedications and started gettingbetter.”

Mooso, like many she has foundwho develop scler oderma, had noidea what the disease was, she said.Neither did Faubert.

“It was pretty bad,” Faubert saidof the advancement of her disease.“I was hospitalized and flown from

Plattsburgh to Albany MedicalCenter. I spent about six monthsthere.”

The W est Chazy woman alsosought help from different special-ists to see what, if anything, couldbe done to help her condition.Through treatments for other con-ditions she has — which include lu-pus, pulmonary arterial hyperten-sion, sleep apnea and conditionsknown as Raynaud's phenomenonand Degos disease, which effect hercardiovascular system — Faubertfound something that worked.

“Remodulin,” she said, utteringthe word as if it was the answer shehad been looking for all along.

The prescription medication, ex-plained Faubert, is used for thetreatment of her pulmonary arteri-al hypertension and has helped im-prove the symptoms of her scler o-derma. The dr ug is administer edthrough a subcutaneous pump thatattaches to the waist of her pantsand looks similar to a cell phone.

“I’m going to put some bling onit and dress it up,” she said, laugh-ing, as she showed how the deviceenters her system thr ough a tube

along her stomach line. “It’s some-thing I have to have attached to mefor the rest of my life but if it’s go-

ing to help me, I’ll live with it. Ihighly recommend it.”

The discoloration and rigidness

of her hands and skin dissipatedand, through a combination of oth-er medications to tr eat her ail-ments, Faubert has gone fr om awoman who needed a wheelchairto maintain her mobility to onewho is able to enjoy leisurely strollslike the thir d annual Scler odermaWalk in Memory of Randy Dupreythey both attended last Sunday atthe Beekmantown Recreation Park.

“I just can’t believe it. This ladywas in a wheelchair. I mean, look ather,” said Mooso, as she huggedFaubert. “She’s beautiful. I’m sohappy for her I could cry.”

Seeing her friend’s pr ogressgives her hope, said Mooso.

“I’m definitely going to look intothis,” Mooso said of Remodulin.

Kate Duprey, who organizes thelocal Scler oderma Walk each yearin memory of her late husband,said she was amazed at Faubert’sprogress and hopes the same forMooso and others like them.

“It shows ther e’s hope thatthere’s something out ther e thatcan make this disease go the otherway,” said Duprey.

Julie Mooso and Wendy Faubert, second and thir d from right, ar e joined b y familymembers and Kate Duprey, organizer of the annual Scleroderma Walk in Memory ofRandy Duprey. Joining them, from left, are Duprey, holding son Alek; Mooso’s son, NickPoissant, holding his daught er, M ya; and F aubert’s daughter, Shaina F aubert. Thegroup stopped along the walk to see where Poissant planted trees and shrubbery inhis mother’s honor over the course of this year and last year.

‘Eat Dessert First’event celebrates National CancerSurvivorship DayBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — Even ifyou’ve always been told youcouldn’t have dessert untilafter you finish your dinner,there’s at least one day outof the year where that wholeidea is thr own out the win-dow — and for one specialreason.

The FitzPatrick CancerCenter hosted “Eat DessertFirst: A Celebration of Life”on the CVPH Medical Centergrounds June 12. The annu-al event is as a way to cele-brate National Cancer Sur-vivorship Day , explained

event coor dinator StaceyLafave.

“It’s something that’sbeen done pr obably 20 plusyears on the national level,”said Lafave, who noted thisyear marked it being donefor the 17th year locally. “It’sa celebration of people, ofsurvivorship.”

Each year, the event fea-tures entertainment and, ofcourse, an assortment ofdesserts.

“The whole idea behind itis that sometimes you justhave to live life,” Lafavesaid.

Lorna Marx, Beekman-town, has been coming tothe event for the past 14years, ever since she wasfirst diagnosed with andovercame uterine sarcoma atthe age of 46.

“I thought it was a deathsentence,” said Marx. “Ithink most people think thatwhen they think about can-cer. But, that’s not alwaysthe case.”

Marx underwent tr eat-ment and sur gery for hercancer and was found to becancer-free six weeks later .That was something worthcelebrating, she said, lead-ing her to attend her first“Eat Dessert First” that year.

“It was r eally positive,”

Marx r ecalled of the event.“It was gr eat to see peoplewho were five-, 10-, 20-yearsurvivors.”

The event was so positive,it’s kept Marx coming backeach year, she said.

“It’s always been a goodevent with gr eat entertain-ment,” she said. “It encour-ages people in similar cir-cumstances and gives them

a chance to get together. It’sa good reminder that peopledo survive cancer and theycan survive for a long time.”

This year ’s “Eat DessertFirst” was underwritten byCondo Pharmacy , Marty’sCarpet, Nine Platt Hospital-ity Gr oup, the Pr escriptionShoppe, and the AmericanCancer Society.

PLATTSBURGH — One militaryveteran is doing what he can to helpothers who have served their country.

Thomas A. Middleton, a NationalGuard veteran and native of Chazy ,signed copies of his book, “Saber ’sEdge: A Combat Medic in Ramadi,Iraq,” at Peaceful Dove Books andGifts in Boynton Square last Sunday.However, the book signing wasn’tjust pomp and cir cumstance as ameans to s ell his 2009 book. It wasalso a way to get the wor d out the

book’s proceeds benefit the WoundedWarrior Project and the James A. Bra-cy Veterans Scholarship Fund at Clin-ton Community College.

The scholarship fund — named inhonor of the late James A. Bracy, whopassed away in October 2009 — helpsveterans and their families with costsassociated with pursuing a collegeeducation.

“When a lot of veterans get back,they don’t have jobs or have a har dtime af fording books or gas to getback and for from school,” explainedhis wife, Linda Bracy. “This helpsthem with the basics.”

Middleton, who now lives in EssexJunction, Vt., said helping the schol-arship f und h as s pecial m eaning t ohim as a Clinton Community Collegegraduate.

“It’s neat to be able to do this, be-cause helping veterans is something Ifeel especially strong about,” Middle-ton said of donating a portion of theproceeds fr om his book sales to thescholarship fund.

The same can be said for theWounded Warrior Project, which pro-vides “pr ograms and services to se-verely injured service members dur-ing the time between active duty and

transition to civilian life.”“Wherever other pr ograms fall

short in helping veterans, the Wound-ed W arrior Pr oject picks up theslack,” said Middleton.

“Saber ’s Edge” will continue to besold at Peaceful Dove Books andGifts, 164 Boynton Ave., with pr o-ceeds to help the W ounded WarriorProject and the James A. Bracy Veter-ans Scholarship Fund.

MORRISONVILLE — Female-fr ontedrock band Silversyde is coming to town.

The Saratoga-based band, headed up bysinger/songwriter Laura Jones, will per-form at the American Cancer Society’s an-nual Relay for Life at the Clinton CountyFairgrounds this Friday, June 17, and Sat-urday, June 18.

It’s something the band is looking for-ward to, said Jones.

“We have never played Plattsburgh be-fore but we have heard that the town andits natives ar e very supportive of travel-ing bands and that their listeners r ock,”said Jones, adding she and her bandmatesare looking forwar d to performing thisweekend. “It’s a bonus being able to takepart in an amazing cause such as the Re-lay for Life which is what we are all about.We believe is going to be a major success!”

The b and — w hich c onsists o f Ali J u-liano on ele ctric guitar , ke ys and back-ground vocals; Rosa Hodges on dr ums;George Stengle on electric guitar; Jones onvocals; and Jones’ husband, Joshua, onbass — is also looking forward to bringingits brand of music, that of fers inspira-tional lyrics, to an event wher e many ar elooking for just that.

“We write with the very specific inten-tion of r eaching people who have foundthemselves lost, beaten down, depressed,faced with addictions, those who ar e leftwithout hope; the cutters, the misfits andthe underdogs,” said Jones, “letting themknow that there is hope from these self-de-structive habits and that there are brighterdays ahead.”

Silversyde’s sound has been what Jonessaid some have r eferred to as a mix be-tween “beauty and gravel.” However ,since signing on with new producers fromHalo Productions in Windham, Maine, theband has taken on mor e of an alternativemetal sound.

“We play a lot and most of the time theyare with all guy bands, but I genuinely feelthat what sets us apart fr om the otherbands and attracts listeners is our messageof hope, help and healing and the time wetake at our shows to r eally let our audi-ences know that they are not alone,” saidJones.

(Editor’s Note: Silversyde will perform atRelay for Life Friday night fr om 8:30 t o 10p.m. a nd S aturday m orning f rom 2 t o 3 :30a.m. Check out the band and informationabout their upcoming new full-length album,“Circus, Cir cus,” on Facebook, T witter,YouTube and their website, www .silversyde-music.com.)

Recreation departmentgearing up for newevent this SeptemberBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Platts-burgh Recreation Department has one dirtychallenge for you.

The department is team ing up with 99. 9The Buzz to host a new event, the “RockeaterAdventure Race,” which will put the stami-na and athletic abilities of its participants tothe test.

Recreation superintendent Steve Peterssaid the event — slated for Saturday, Sept. 17— will be hosted at thePlattsburgh City Beachas a way to bring“something new” to thearea.

“I’ve been wanting todo something like thisfor a while,” said Pe-ters, “but I’ve just beenthinking how we wouldimplement it and whenwould be the right timeto do it.”

When flooding began to hit the r egion inrecent months, crippling local businesses,Peters saw the handwriting on the wall.

“We figur ed now would be a goodtime [to host the event] because we an-ticipate we’re going to lose revenue thisyear at the beach,” said Peters, whonoted water levels at the beach alongLake Champlain ar e still well abovenormal. “If that happens, the taxpayersin the city are going to lose money, andwe don’t want that to happen. So, wedecided to pr eempt that and maybebolster it a bit.”

The name for the race derived fr omthe slang terminology made famous bya Saturday Night Live skit last year inwhich a ctor F red Armisen p ortrayedthen Gov. David A. Paterson, referringto North Country people as “r ock-eaters.” T hough U rbandictionary.comdefines the term as someone “who is

missing teeth” and issynonymous with “trailertrash,” Peters said he wantsto utilize this race as a wayto give the term a fun, newmeaning.

“No one’s r eally ownedthat term, and we thoughtnaming t his r ace t he R ock-eater Adventure Race wouldbe a good way to keep itfrom being so der ogatory,”he said. “And, it’s a goodway to give the race its own

identity.”The event itself will consist of a five-kilo-

meter race, starting at the main swimmingarea at the beach, with waves of 100 runnerstaking off every 30 minutes. The course willwind through the Heritage Trail and Scomo-tion Creek areas before returning back to thebeach by way of the Cr ete Memorial CivicCenter.

Just in case you were thinking it’s going tobe your average r un in the park, Peters hassome news for you. The race will include ob-stacles like a mud pit, tunnel crawl, scram-ble net, water wading and even fire jumping.

“It’s going to be completely unlike any-thing around here,” Peters said.

Though the event will be unique to the

area, it’s not the first time an adventur erace of this kind has been held, noted Pe-ters. In fact, this type of event is becom-ing increasingly popular, he said.

“Some adventure races are really intohurting you and making you go thr ougha lot to finish, and others are about build-ing camaraderie,” Peters said. “That’swhat this one’s about, camaraderie.”

“We want this to be something peoplewill do with their friends by rallying agroup of them or them family or whoev-er,” added Peters.

Spectators will also be able to enjoy theevent, watching participants go thr oughthe series of obstacles put befor e them,Peters said. The event will also includeentertainment and music pr ovided by99.9 The Buzz throughout the race and anafter-race party. Food, drinks, and ven-

dors will be also available on-site.The cost to register for the event is $35 and

will include participation in the race, a Rock-eater Adventure Race T -shirt, finishermedal, bib number , and after -party admis-sion.

The deadline for race entry is Thursday ,Sept. 1. The maximum number of entrants is3,000.

WIDE-EYED

June 18 - 24, 2011 the ‘burgh18 • the great outdoors/death notices

If Mineville resi-dent Br endaSherman tells

you th e length of t hebeard on the gobblershe shot this springwas 19 inches, you’r enot hearing things.

That’s becauseSherman’s tom — thefirst she’s ever shot —had not one, but threebeards, a rarity foundin only a very smallpopulation of the wildbirds.

Because turkeys arescored cumulatively ,all three beards — two at 7.5 inches andone at 4 inches — count toward the fi-nal tally, making Sherman’s longbearda once-in-a-lifetime trophy.

Brenda’s husband Jimmer called thebird in for her during the early morn-ing hours of May 7, after car efullyplacing three hen decoys along with ajake trailing behind in a small openingalong a field. The couple then climbedinto their gr ound blind to wait forshooting light.

“Around 5:15 a train went thr oughand blew its whistle. T o my surprise

this tom gobbled onhis r oost about 150yards a way. I w aiteduntil it was pr ettylight out and gave acouple of soft yelpsand a few purrs just tolet him know he hadcompany, “ Jimmersaid.

Sure enough, thetom came looking forlove, but hungupabout 80 yar ds out,before turning andslowly walking awayfrom the Mossber g835 UL TI-MAG Jim-

mer had given Brenda.Jimmer knew he had to do some-

thing.“I then took my chances and r eally

made that old slate call make somenoise,” Jimmer recalled. “He stopped,turned around and responded. I gaveit to him again aggressively. He closedthe distance by about 20 feet and gob-bled again! I repeated the same aggres-sive calling and he started closing thedistance by 20-30 feet each time.”

Jimmer turned to Br enda and toldher to be ready. When the bird closed

to 25 yar ds, Jimmer whisper ed “takehim.”

“That old 12 gauge r oared andwings started fluttering,” Jimmer said.

It wasn’t the first longbeard that fellvictim to Jimmer ’s Mossber g — bothhis sons harvested their first birds withit as well, the first a 21-pound br utewith a paint brush beard for Travis andthe second a double spurred 18-pounder for Carl, also a rarity.

Brenda’s tom weighed 18 poundsand had 3/4-inch spurs.

While the Shermans were certainlysuccessful during this spring’s turkeyseason, state biologists ar e predictingthe weather -crossed season may pr o-duce a smaller than expected bag.

The state is still in the pr ocess ofconducting surveys for harvest esti-mates, but by all accounts it most like-ly will not be as high as the 2010 har-vest of 25,800 bir ds, and will be wellbelow the 10-year average of about34,000 birds.

Even more disturbing is the fact thatsoggy, flooded ground made for someof the poorest nesting conditions inyears, which biologists fear will meanthe number of poults per hen will bedown dramatically , the ef fects ofwhich may be felt for the next several

seasons. In other related outdoor news: • The DEC is proposing a ban on all

motors except electric motors on Thir-teenth Lake in North River. Commentson the new r egulation ar e being ac-cepted until July 2, and can be dir ect-ed to: Peter Frank, Bur eau of For estPreserve, NYS DEC, Division of Lands& Forests, 625 Br oadway, Albany, NY12233, and;

• The Lake George Fishing Alliancejust announced the successful stockingof 34,000 Atlantic salmon in Lake

George on June 6-7. Of those, 17,000were stocked in the north basin and17,000 in the south by LGA members,lake stewards and DEC employees.The 5-7 inch juvenile fish wer e r e-leased in deep water this year by 12participating boats instead of fr omshore and docks in hopes that the mor-tality rate would be lower.
