Benjamin look out the window of their Margaret Street business, they see a growing number of people who either live on the streets or who need assistance in some form or another. And, they’re planning to do something to help. Their business, Benji’s Café and Bakery, will open its doors Sunday, Dec. 20, for a free Christmas dinner. The idea behind the dinner is to help less fortunate members of the com- munity by giving them a warm meal and some companionship for at least one day, said the Benjamins. “We were talking about doing this last year but we were still a pretty new business, and we just ran out of time,” said Betty. “This year, we’ve started a little earlier.” The Benjamins discussed the idea of hosting a dinner after Harold started noticing the number of peo- ple downtown who didn’t seem as well off as others. “During the day, you look out front and you see there’s a lot of peo- ple who are homeless or who maybe just don’t have a lot of money,” said Harold. “They’re going through garbage cans and, especially in the winter, they don’t have seasonal clothes like a heavy jacket or even a sweater.” “It’s sad,” said Betty. Even with the number of outreach programs in the area, the Benjamins said they have still seen people sleeping in the nearby park or under bridges. And, they’ve seen first- hand the difference one random act of kindness can do, said Betty. “One day, not long after we first opened, a man came to the door af- ter we had closed,” recalled Betty. “He told me he didn’t have much money but he wanted to know what he could get with the change he had.” Noticing the man was “obviously very hungry,” she said, Betty told Harold about the man at the door and Harold put some fresh sand- wiches and chips in a container for him.

Q: “I’ve been reading your columns withgreat interest. Prices seem so high right now inthe grocery store. If I just buy the store brand ofproducts, won’t I save more money than usingcoupons on the big brands?”

A: This is a common misconception amongnew coupon shoppers. It’s true that when youcompare the shelf price of store brands with theprice of name-brand products, the store brandsoften appear to save us more money. But withrare exceptions, we can almost always buy thename-brand products that we like and prefer —with coupons — at an even better price than the store brand.

Why is this? Quite simply, there are more coupons and dis-counts available for name-brand products than for store-brand products. If you look at your coupon inserts from thenewspaper and the wide variety of coupons available on theInternet, you’ll quickly notice there are typically no couponsfor store-brand items.

Large, brand-name product manufacturers work hard toencourage us to try their products. They feature their brandsand products in the coupon inserts, offering shoppers signif-icant discounts to try them. Many times, it’s also possible tofind store coupons for the same products. If we stack a storeand manufacturer coupon together, we’re reaching an evenlarger savings on the brand-name item than we could by sim-ply purchasing the store brand at its regular low price.

As with all things, there are always exceptions. If your storehappens to offer coupons for its own brands, that’s a greatway to save. Here’s a perfect example. Recently, my store hadcoupon dispensers set up in the aisle offering $1 coupons for“any [store-brand] paper product.” During this sale, store-brand rolls of paper towels, boxes of facial tissue and pack-

ages of the napkins were all on sale for $1.Now, if you’re a regular reader of my col-umn, you know that using a $1 coupon on a$1 sale is one of my favorite ways to getthings for free!

Speaking of coupon dispensers, our nextquestion this week pertains to them.

Q: “I often see coupon machines on theshelves of the grocery store, but the couponsin them aren’t usually for things on sale. Isthere a strategy for getting good discountswith these?”

A: Absolutely! You’re right in noticingthat most of the time, the coupons in thestore’s coupon dispensers don’t link up to

the best sales in the store. That’s also true of the coupons wereceive in the newspaper each week. Their greatest valuecomes when the price of the featured item takes a big dip. Iregularly “shop” the coupon dispensers in my stores. If I seecoupons for an item I like, I will take a few to hold onto un-til the sale price drops. About six weeks ago, my store’scoupon dispenser offered $2 coupons for turkey bacon. Butthe turkey bacon was on sale for $4.99, a relatively high price.I took a few coupons from the dispenser and held onto themfor four weeks … when the price of the turkey bacon wentdown to $2.99.

Now, I took home turkey bacon for 99 cents a package! If Ihad used those coupons the week I found them in the dis-penser though, I would still have paid $2.99 a package — threetimes the price.

The use of Wi-Fi, the trade name of wireless net-working, has consistently grown both at home andin business. For good reason, the convenience of

wireless operation can be found in many devices rangingfrom printers, cameras and mp3 players to every laptop,notebook and netbook. Wi-Fi capability is showing up on al-most anything that works by connecting to something else.

Wi-Fi follows standards, which are instrumental to the in-teroperability between devices made by different vendors.The Wi-Fi standard falls under the control of the IEEE andis assigned the number 802.11.

Since 2003, the 802.11 standard was held at “g” which of-fered decent connectivity at the time but is rather inadequatetoday with the newer demands for video and voice over IP.For whatever reason, the IEEE was quite slow in bringingforth, or ratifying, the next version of Wi-Fi so a number ofvendors got a little impatient.

When a standard is up for change the first set of changesare often referred to as drafts. So, during the process ofchanging the 802.11g standard to what would become802.11n, drafts were released along the way indicating thetechnical changes of the upcoming standard. Many times thedrafts become part of the new standard.

The companies that make Wi-Fi devices understand that

drafts often become the stan-dard, so instead of waitingfor ratification of the 802.11nstandard, they began releaseof 802.11n draft devices. Itwas a calculated risk on theirpart but it proved to be onethat seemed to not hurt them.

The IEEE finally ratifiedthe new standard and quiet-ly released it on a late Fridayafternoon in early Septemberof this year. Anyone waitingfor the new standard to beadopted no longer has towait, 800.11n is now official.

Tech Talk By Ron Poland

Until recently, a person’s decision to be an organdonor was potentially hindered by the fact the fi-nal determination was actually left to that per-

son’s next of kin upon his/her passing. A common assump-tion has been we personally decide the fate of our own or-gans by indicating such a wish on our driver ’s license, butthat still doesn’t guarantee those wishes will be honored.

However, in 2006, a new law was passed that created aNew York State Donor Registry for individuals interested indonating their organs and tissue. This new registry allowsindividuals to be in charge of their own wishes and to con-sent to organ donation prior to their passing. Once you’replaced on the registry, your family will be notified of yourdecision to donate your organs; but, they will not be requiredto give consent to the procedure to be carried out. Individ-uals can start the registration process on-line at www.do-natelifeny.org.

If you’re thinking about registering as an organ donorand/or tissue donor yourself, rest assured your organs willonly be considered for donation after all possible medicaloptions have been exhausted to preserve your life. Savingyour life will always be top priority for the doctors treating

you, and your medical treat-ment will never be compro-mised because you are an or-gan donor.

Please don’t exclude your-self as a potential organdonor simply because ofyour age. The oldest docu-mented organ donor in theUnited States was 96 yearsold! In fact, the usability oforgans is based on the healthof the organ in question, notyour chronological age.

If you’re interested in be-coming an organ donor, then register. Ultimately, you’ll beletting the doctor decide whether you’re an appropriate can-didate.

Snowy Mild

Do you think we’re in for a snow-filledwinter this year or will it be mild?

Page 5: Clinton Co FreeTrader Today 12-05-09

The month of November brought mild temperatureswhich extended many projects and work our city em-ployees could pursue such as road construction, street

patchwork and cleaning, leave pick-up, and general mainte-nance. The city also saved money in departmental budgets dueto the lack of snow which is a costly venture as most peopleknow. There is no doubt snow will be arriving for the holidays,but I can only hope it will be minimal in nature!

November brought some very important events. Hospice ofthe North Country is constructing a new building which will betheir new home. Everyone associated with Hospice is so specialI can only hope personal donations by the public and businesscommunity will be considered for this project. I have faith theNorth Country residents will be generous in this endeavor.

I attended the annual Salvation Army kick-off event whichfeatured staff and friends of this special organization. CaptainsLarry and Wendy Goodman were very appreciative many of usattended but I am proud of the Salvation Army and their effortsto help our community.

The CP Rail Holiday Train arrived in Plattsburgh much to thedelight of area children and parents. I am always amazed by theattendance when the train arrives. I attended a press event withlocal leaders and the president of the New York State Econom-ic State Development Corporation, Dennis Mullin, to tour theImperial Industrial Park. The ESDC provided grant funding forinfrastructure improvements for this facility which will assistthis location in bringing in more small companies to the area.Mr. Mullin also met with local leaders to discuss the Pfizer sit-uation that will affect the entire North Country. I did presideover a wedding ceremony in City Hall for two friends onThanksgiving Day which was truly special.

As usual, I dealt with the many constituent concerns I receivedaily. The council is holding budget hearings with the possi-bility of changing my budget by adding or subtracting itemswhich will affect the tax rate for the residents of the city. I be-lieve my budget was very responsible although it did not sup-port all of the requests each department had asked for. Due tothe challenging economic situation we are all facing, I did mybest to maintain city services and keep tax and utility rates sta-ble for 2010.

December is always a spe-cial month enjoyed by every-one. Reach out to our friendsand neighbors who are not asfortunate as we are during thisholiday season. Please think ofour military personnel whoare away from their families asthey protect our freedoms.Merry Christmas and HappyHolidays from City Hall andwarmest and best wishes toyou all and your families!

No matter what your gardening passion — lawn, flow-ers, or vegetables — all types of gardening comedown to one thing. And that is soil. No matter what

you want to grow the one thing you need is healthy soil. To gethealthy soil you need to feed your dirt, or to be more accurateyou need to feed your microbes and earthworms.

Science has gradually learned if we want to get our best yieldsfrom our gardens, we must recognize our soil has a vibrant butdelicate ecosystem feeding off of the organic matter in the soil.Tilling disrupts this balance and can cause organic matter to belost, nutrients to be under utilized, and mircrobe levels to beunbalanced.

So, what should a home gardener who is used to tilling do?It sounds crazy, but the simple answer is to stop tilling. Wait asecond. What was that? Yes, I did recommend we stop tilling.

I know it sounds crazy and a clean, weed-free bed is a beau-tiful. But, I’d rather have a highly productive garden than aclean, weed-free bed. So, here’s how you stop tilling and havea weed-free garden bed.

The first thing you have to do is manually dig out any peren-nial weeds, lay a 1 to 2 inch layer of compost on top of the soil,and then use a smothering mulch to help prevent any new weedseeds from germinating. Grass clippings and leaves are greatsmothering mulches.

Every year simply add another layer of compost and contin-ue to use mulch. The microbes in the soil will further break

down the compost and the or-ganic mulch. The earthworms,microbes, and rain water willwash the nutrients and the or-ganic material down to theplant’s roots.

One of the most importantcomponents to no-till garden-ing is keeping the weeds fromestablishing. If you see a weed,pull it prior to the plant settingnew seeds. The first year willbe the hardest, but through theuse of mulch, not disturbingthe seed bed, and hand-pulling the number of weedswill drastically be reduced.

And, with any new gardening venture one of the best rulesof thumb is to start small. Begin with a small area and experi-ment to find your favorite methods. If it does seem strange atfirst, do preserve. The rewards are significant.

PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh Interna-tional Airport has unveiled a number of newbilingual signs throughout the airport site.

The Plattsburgh-North Country Chamberof Commerce, which oversees marketingand development at the airport. has contin-ued to refer to the local airport as “Montre-al’s U.S. Airport” since passenger air servicebegan in 2007.

“Plattsburgh foresees continued growth inthe years ahead as a low-cost, secondary air-port serving southern Quebec as well asnorthern New York,” stated chamber of com-merce president Garry F. Douglas. “Eighty-five percent of our passengers are comingfrom Quebec, and we are committed to mak-ing our airport as welcoming and user-friendly as possible for our Quebec cus-tomers.”

The Plattsburgh terminal has featuredbilingual signage from since its opening, and

has since persuaded the New York StateTransportation Department to install bilin-gual airport signs on Interstate 87 as well.

“Our growth has been so strong that we al-ready have had to undertake a major expan-sion and reconfiguration of our parking lot,”noted Douglas, “and we have taken the op-portunity to install extensive bilingual sig-nage in the parking areas.”

Plattsburgh International was createdfrom the massive aviation facilities of theformer Plattsburgh Air Force Base. The U.S.government has provided more than $80million for conversion of the former base tonew civilian use, and is already funding de-signs for a major terminal expansion expect-ed to be constructed in 2011 in response tothe strong demand for service.

For more information, or to register for theairport’s monthly bilingual e-newsletter,visit www.flyplattsburgh.com.

Town Hall meeting will address government reform

Has New York State government stopped working foryou?

We suspect that, just like millions of other fed up andfrustrated New Yorkers, your answer to that question was“YES!” If so, please be our guest for a Town Hall meet-ing on Dec. 16, at 5:30 p.m., at the Plattsburgh Interna-tional Airport, where we will outline our support for a“People’s Convention to Reform New York” and discusshow it would benefit taxpayers.

A People’s Convention to Reform New York is a grass-roots, non-partisan reform effort to empower citizens sothey can take back their state government and chart a pos-itive, new direction for our state. A “People’s Convention” would put the power to changegovernment in citizens’ hands and deliver the real change New York needs, including fis-cal and governmental reforms such as a property tax and state spending cap, along withterm limits for Legislative Leaders and a succession plan for state offices.

The question of whether New York should convene a People’s Convention will automat-ically go before voters in 2017. Our non-partisan legislation – “The People’s Convention toReform New York Act,” (Assembly Bill A.9157) – would move up the opportunity for re-form by seven years.

If you’re tired of Albany’s broken status quo, want real change and are finally ready totake back your state government, attend our Town Hall meeting slated for Wednesday, Dec.16, at 5:30 p.m., at the Plattsburgh International Airport, 42 Airport Lane, in the second floorof the terminal building.

Share this invite with your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and anyone else want-ing reform in state government. Seating for our Town Hall meeting is limited, so please

RSVP today by calling 562-1986. We hope to seeyou on Wednesday, Dec. 16, at our Town Hallmeeting!

After 43 years of performanc-es, the Keeseville-Peru Ecu-menical Choir has become a

long-standing holiday tradition in the com-munity.

Once again, the group of volunteer singershas assembled to give residents of Peru, Kee-seville and the surrounding areas a feast forthe ears with concerts Saturday, Dec. 12, andSunday, Dec. 13.

For decades, the choir has performed invarious churches in the Keeseville-Peruarea. For their 44th season, they will performat St. John’s Catholic Church in KeesevilleDec. 12, and St. Augustine’s Catholic Churchin Peru Dec. 13. Both concerts will begin at

7:30 p.m.Conducted by Jeanette Woodruff, the

Peru-Keeseville Ecumenical Choir is accom-panied by Carol Bachand on piano and SteveWoodruff on organ. French Horn player An-dre Gratto will also join in on some songs.

Woodruff takes over for former directorRichard Molholsky, who led the group offand on for more than 25 years.

“We expect this year ’s performance to beequal to that of past years,” said choir chair-man Ron Goddeau. “We’re very grateful forall the years of dedication from Richard Mol-holsky, and we’re very excited about the out-come under our new leadership.”

Woodruff is certainly no stranger to thegroup. She has been involved as an assistantconductor for the past 15 years and has alsoaccompanied the group as part of brass en-sembles.

This year ’s choir features one of thelargest groups in the past decade with morethan 60 singers consisting of men andwomen of all ages.

“That’s about 12 to 15 people larger thanin the last few years,” Goddeau said.

Though most of the group’s membershiphails from either Keeseville or Peru, saidWoodruff, some choir members travel fromas far as Plattsburgh, Jay, West Chazy, andWillsboro to participate.

The choir performs almost entirely sacredmusic, but attempts to do a mix of classicaladaptations, traditional hymns, and morecontemporary pieces.

“The music for the concert this year ismore musically challenging than it has beenin the past,” said Woodruff. “With the in-creased voices this year, the choir is workingharder and experiencing great musical satis-

faction with the more difficult repertoire.”Though the repertoire changes each year,

the group has become well-known for peren-nial crowd favorites like Handel’s “Hallelu-jah!” chorus and John Rutter ’s “ChristmasLullaby.”

Woodruff said there are a few new pieceson the program she is especially looking for-ward to, including “This Christmastide,” byDonald Fraser, a piece that has long been as-sociated with opera singer Jessye Normanand is also known as “Jessye’s Carol.”

“Another one of my favorites this year is‘Rejoice and Be Merry,’ by John Rutter,” saidWoodruff. “This is a very majestic piece thatis a lot of fun to sing, but also has a greatmessage.”

Admission to the concerts is free, thoughdonations are welcome to defray the choir ’sexpenses.

“He tried to pay and we told him, ‘No, thisis for you,’” said Betty.

The visibly grateful man walked up thestreet as the Benjamins were leaving, satdown, and began to eat the food as fast as hecould, said Betty. That experience was oneof the reasons why the Benjamins said theybegan planning the dinner.

“We want to be able to give them a nice,hot meal for Christmastime,” said Betty.“We want to help because there are so manypeople in need out there.”

“We want to reach out to as many peopleas we can — the needy, senior citizens, theshut-ins,” said Harold, adding they alreadyhave someone willing to volunteer time todeliver meals, if necessary. “We want tobring the Christmas spirit back to down-town with this.”

Already, it’s working. Neighboring busi-nesses are getting on board with the dinner,with businesses like Villari’s of Plattsburgheven donating space to serve the dinner, saidBetty.

“We can seat 48 people but with the gen-erosity of David and Lisa Boise, they’reopening up their cardio room for us to putmore tables and chairs,” said Betty. “Weshould be able to seat 150 people betweenthe two [businesses].”

The Benjamins are now in the process offinalizing the details of the dinner, includ-

ing recruiting volunteers to help with serv-ing, and working with experienced organi-zations in planning the logistics of hostingthe event.

“We want to be able to organize a sched-ule so one person isn’t stuck doing the samething for three hours,” said Harold. “Wecould have one person doing vegetables,then have them serving or cleaning tables.”

“We’d like to have enough volunteers tohelp share the work,” said Betty. “We don’texpect them to volunteer for the whole threehours. If they’re willing to volunteer a half-hour, 45 minutes, even an hour, that wouldbe great.”

The Benjamins said the dinner will alsorely on donations of food and supplies fromthe community, which have already startedto come in following an appeal the two madein a recent letter to local businesses. Haroldand Betty said they’d like to see that mo-mentum continue.

“We want this to be a community effortand anyone who can help would be great,”said Betty.

The dinner will be hosted at the restau-rant, located at 103 Margaret St., from 12-4p.m. Dec. 20. Those wishing to make dona-tions or volunteer for the event may contactthe Benjamins Monday through Saturday, 7a.m. to 3 p.m., at 561-5900.

Clinton County Court sentencings

teenagers herself, said shefeels every child shouldhave a nice Christmas, re-gardless of their age.

The congregation seemedto agree.

“We actually brought inquite a bit of stuff,” Badgersaid of last year ’s donations,which amounted to approx-imately 30 toys. “I think wewere successful for doing iton such short notice.”

This year, Badger and oth-ers behind the collectiondrive began the effort a fewmonths in advance, evenholding an all-night youthgroup party where those at-tending were asked to bringat least one toy to donate.

“We had 23 teens showup,” said Badger, with eachbringing at least one dona-tion or more, she added. “I

have to give credit to thekids because they’re theones who are talking to theirfriends and inviting them tobring stuff in. It’s a goodway for them to realize theseason isn’t just for them,it’s for giving.”

The Rev. Jeffrey R. Tur-cotte, pastor of CadyvilleWesleyan Church, said themessage of giving is spread-ing and by inviting membersof the community to donateto the collection drive, thechurch’s effort can be evenbigger than last year.

“That was something,”Turcotte said of the donationof toys made last year, “butwe thought maybe we couldmake this a little bigger thisyear.”

Already, the church hasreceived enough donations

like sporting equipment andboard games to fill a 3 ft. tallby 3 ft. wide box.

“We’ve got one box com-pletely full and to the pointit was pouring over and wehad to bring in anotherbox,” he said.

Turcotte said he’d like tosee enough donations comein to fill a truck, which issomething Badger saidshe’d like to see, too.

“I’d like to double or evenquadruple what we gavelast year,” said Badger.

The church will be collect-ing donations until Sunday,Dec. 13, at which time thedonations will be taken toThe Christmas Bureau head-quarters in Plattsburgh.

“We have a good site [for generatingsolar power] where our town garage is,which is our biggest electricity hog,”said Delaney. “We spend between$9,000 and $10,000 a year in electricityand for a small municipal government[switching to solar power] could helpa lot.”

The town worked with Triangle Elec-trical Systems and SolarNovar, basedin Plattsburgh, in preparing the pro-posal submitted for the grant. Throughstudying the development of a solarpower system at the town garage, De-laney said it’s believed a system couldproduce enough electricity to accom-modate 75 percent of the building’s en-ergy needs.

“Hopefully, we can produce more.There’s some evidence they’re moreproductive than that,” Delaney said ofthe solar power system.

Delaney said he is unsure when thetown will learn whether or not the pro-posal is funded, but said if the projectgets the green light, starting the proj-ect will only depend on the availabili-ty of Triangle Electrical Systems andSolarNovar and, of course, weather.

“If we knew by Dec. 30, I’d assumewe could be up and running by Aprilor May,” said Delaney.

The town has committed to con-tributing 3 percent of the cost of the so-lar panel system, if awarded, Delaneyadded. That amounts to approximately

$10,350, which he said would pay foritself with the potential energy costsavings.

“We would have less than a two-yearpayback cycle on this if we’re accept-ed,” said Delaney. “But, just becausewe requested funding, doesn’t meanwe’re going to get funding.”

Delaney said if the town’s proposalisn’t funded through the ARRA grant,the town board will examine othergrant programs that could potentiallycover the cost.

“If it makes financial sense for thetown of Saranac, we will pursue it,”said Delaney.

Hunter’s close encounterof the four-legged kind

Bill Gereau, cousin of Denton Publications managing editor and outdoors columnist John Gereau, shotthis big 8-pointer with his crew in Minerva Nov. 6. The buck weighed 152 pounds — his largest to date.

Few hunters I’ve spo-ken with can believethe sequence of

events that played out a fewweeks ago when a NorthCountry man was attackedby a 10-point buck near hisremote home outside Mal-one.

Minerva resident BrianWarrington, however, nolonger falls into that catego-ry.

That’s because it nearlyhappened to him, too. Theoutcome, however, was ashade different.

“I read your column last week and could-n’t believe a deer would act like that,” War-rington told me, referring to my last columnin which I described how Gerald Dabiewwrestled with a mature buck for nearly 20minutes as it pounded him into the ground.

“Well, I believe it now.”Warrington said his own harrowing en-

counter began as he and his wife, Patty,started up into the woods to begin a drive.Barely off the blacktop, the duo jumped twodeer, one of which was a slammer buck.

“So, I pulled out an estrus bleat, and bleat-ed three times,” Warrington said.

Before he could put the call away, the deerappeared, stomped at the ground, lowered

its antlers and charged. “My wife and I have been

hunting together for 30years,” Brian said. “I’ve seen alot of unusual things in thewoods, but nothing like this.”

Brian said Patty lunged forsafety behind a tree as the 180-pound buck closed to within30 feet and fired at the deer,missing it. The shot broughtthe animal to a stop, however,and Brian dropped it in itstracks.

“Obviously, the deer cameto the bleat call, but this deer

was so aggressive, it was grunting andgrowling and coming straight for us,” Brainsaid.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said.Patty agreed. “It’s pretty scary when it happens to you,”

she said, adding she will never doubt the ef-fectiveness of a call again, or how a ruttingbuck might respond.

“I’m a believer now,” she said, echoingher husband’s earlier sentiment.

John Gereau is managing editor of DentonPublications and an avid outdoorsman. His col-umn appears regularly. For more articles byGereau, checkout his blog at www.denpubs.com.

After reading my last column abouta local man who was attacked by a10-point-buck, Brian Warringtoncalled to tell me about his ownclose encounter. As this pictureshows, however, the outcome wasa little different in his case.
