While the boom in Jefferson County occupancy tax revenue is seen as good, some hotel owners and operators think local government should spend even more of that money on tourism promotion rather than save it for a rainy day.
Ronald G. Thomson, owner-operator of Captain Thomson Resort, the Alex Bay Lodge and Uncle Sam Boat Tours, Alexandria Bay, said it doesnt make sense to sit on the revenue because the goal of promotion and advertising is to spend a dollar to bring in 10.
When times are tough, thats the time to spend even more, Mr. Thomson said. What youre looking at is not a shortfall but an excess of funds thats a nice problem to have.
Mr. Thomson, who is also the town of Alexandria Occupancy Tax Committee chairman, as well as a member of the 1000 Islands International Tourism Council, said tourism is the biggest industry in the county, though its sometimes hard to quantify. The amount of revenue the occupancy tax brings in is an easy way to see the net economic benefit to the region.
According to the 2013 Jefferson County budget, the countys share of the occupancy tax in 2011 was $426,615. After providing $300,000 to the tourism council, the countys designated tourism promotion agency, and $4,300 to the Disabled Persons Action Organization, more than $122,000 remained in the account.
The money is collected from hotel patrons, whose room bill is taxed at 3 percent in addition to any other tax. The money, by law, must be spent promoting tourism in the region.
With a highway department, you can make an argument for having a reserve capital fund, but not with tourism promotion, Mr. Thomson said.
Legislator Scott A. Gray, R-Watertown and chairman of the Board of Legislators Finance and Rules Committee, pointed out legislators want to keep a reserve fund to cover a bad weather year or spend on special promotions.
We generally dont spend that down to zero. We cant just wipe all that money out, he said.
In years past, the county has sometimes had to draw from the general fund to cover the tourism council. But with the increase of hotel construction over the last five years, especially in the Watertown and Fort Drum areas, and the concurrent increase in bed tax revenue, paying for marketing and advertising hasnt been a problem.
Can the boom continue without a more sustainable mechanism of tourism promotion?
Jeri L. McInnis, general manager of the Best Western Carriage House Inn on Washington Street, said area hotels are going into the flat season. With the addition of so many new hotels, there is more supply and not enough demand. The money from the occupancy tax needs to be spent to stoke demand, she said.
The hotel, like others in the area, dedicates some of its own money to advertising, specifically targeting Canadians by creating travel packages that entice them to take advantage of the areas shopping opportunities. Ms. McInnis would like to see the areas other notable features highlighted, including Sackets Harbor and the Black River. During the winter, the hotel gets some additional business from snowmobilers, but with the recent relatively snowless winters, that is not a reliable market segment.
Earlier this year, Ms. McInnis and other hotel operators met with tourism council representatives to find ideas to make a pitch for money to the Watertown City Council. At that time, the city expected about $200,000 in occupancy tax revenue. The hotel operators and tourism council asked that half of that, $100,000, be used for marketing. The city countered by offering only $35,000 to $40,000. According to Ms. McInnis, most of the occupancy tax money had already been earmarked for capital projects, including repairs to the zoos aviary.
City Council members said they were interested in the tourism councils proposal and in finding other sources of funding to meet the desired $100,000. According to an email message received by Ms. McInnis, city officials posed the question, Will the county increase their funding to support marketing?
According to Mr. Thomson, the city used to have its own occupancy tax advisory committee similar to the one in the town of Alexandria. The city decided to dissolve that committee several years ago, Mr. Thomson said.
Ms. McInnis supports the idea of reforming the committee, especially if it includes hospitality industry representatives.
The committee should include such professionals, according to Mr. Thomson.
Theyve already proven their commitment by the millions theyve spent, he said.
Another hotel operator who shares that sentiment is Charles Palmatier, general manager of the Ramada Inn on Arsenal Street.
I would like to see, as in other towns, a committee, or a think tank, to at least put the ideas out there and let the legislators make the decisions, he said.
According to Mr. Palmatier, the city needs a convention center to stabilize the hospitality industrys business cycle.
That is going to need to be addressed to support the tourism machine that has been created in the Watertown area for continued growth, he said.
While the additional occupancy tax revenue is a long way from being close to the amount it would take to build a convention center, Mr. Palmatier could see putting the money toward the creation of a Convention Visitors Bureau. The bureau could work with the Chamber of Commerce to start the process of attracting a convention center to the area.
Plans for a convention center have been floated in the past. In 2008, Jefferson County legislators heard a proposal for a $12.6 million project along Interstate 81, which included a recommendation to increase the bed tax to 4 percent to subsidize the centers construction. The proposal was met with resistance and never came to fruition.
According to Mr. Palmatier, the growth in the area over the last few years is nice to see, but plans must be laid for the future.
The county has estimated its portion of the occupancy tax revenue next year will be $420,000. According to the countys approved 2013 budget, the tourism council asked for $370,000 for advertising and marketing expenses. The county budget officer recommended and the Board of Legislators approved $331,500 for the council and $4,300 for the Disabled Persons Action Organization. If the county receives the amount of revenue it expects, more than $80,000 will be left at the years end. Since 2009, the fund has averaged an excess of more than $110,000.

During the admitting process, our staff will collect necessary information to process your hospital bill. Occasionally we may need more information from you and may contact you or your family member on the telephone or, in some cases, visit your hospital room. We promise to introduce ourselves and make the visit as brief as possible.
Insurance Coverage
If you have insurance, the Seton will file a claim with your insurance company(ies), on your behalf.

This information may include, but is not limited to, answering the following questions:
- Has the patient been added to the insured's policy?
- Have complete and signed claim forms been submitted to the insured's carrier?
- Has secondary insurance information been provided to the Hospital if applicable?
- Have your services been authorized and, if applicable, do you have a referral form from the primary care physician?
Payment Terms
You will receive a payment remittance notice or an "explanation of benefits" (EOB) from your insurance company that will explain how your hospital account was paid. Seton will be working on your behalf to secure your insurance payment. If payment from the insurance company is not received within a sixty (60) day period, Seton may request assistance from you in securing payment.
If you have not made payment to us for the amount of your deductible and co-pay portions, or if you do not have insurance, please remit payment at once.

What You Can Expect
Meet your guide upon hotel pickup in Singapore for a comfortable, air-conditioned ride first to the ticket collection center, then to the Singapore Zoo. Located on the northern part of the island, the zoo boasts a new concept in animal keeping that features landscaped gardens where animals roam freely in naturalistic habitats. The 64-acre (26-hectare) wildlife park, nestled within the lush Mandai rainforest, is home to 3,600 animals representing more than 300 species of mammals, birds and reptiles.
you've booked the optional upgrade, start with a jungle breakfast among
an amazing family of orangutans (see below) before boarding
the open tram for your morning tour. Those who do not select the
breakfast option have free time to explore the zoo at leisure before the
guided portion begins.
hop aboard a tram for an informative ride around the open spaces that
are specially designed to replicate the natural environments of the critters, from the Himalayan foothills to the Southeast Asian rainforest.
There are protective barriers that keep you a safe distance from animals such as zebras and elephants, but you can expect a number of amazing creatures to come right up to your tram as you travel. Along the way, you will stop to get out and explore on foot, too.With commentary highlighting the plight of these magnificent creatures, Singapore Zoo hopes to inspire in its guests a respect and deep appreciation of nature.
Optional Upgrade: Jungle Breakfast Among Orangutans
Singapore Zoo has the world's most successful orangutan-breeding program, and the largest social colony of these highly intelligent primates outside of their disappearing tropical rainforest. Don't miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to photograph the orangutans as they swing and climb in their naturalistic enclosure while you enjoy breakfast — an experience you'll never forget.
Head to the Ah Meng Restaurant, where you're treated to a hearty buffet breakfast of international and local favorites, including tropical fruits and juices. Then watch the zoo's orangutan family make a spectacular entrance as they descend into an adjacent backdrop filled with vines and branches. Watch the orangutans as you dine and enjoy their playful antics before taking your family photos with the apes. You'll also have an optional close-up visit with a reticulated python, the longest snake in the world!

I booked this for my son, daughter in law and three grandchildren 9, 7 and 4and we had a great time. Everything went perfectly from when they picked us up to the moment we got home. Breakfast was a buffet with something for everyone and we all got plenty of opportunities to get a photo with the Orangutans which was of course the highlight. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would love to get up close with these wonderful animals.
October 2015
A great tour. Our guide knew all there was to know and more. Thanks for a memorable trip
October 2015
Breakfast with the orangutans was all that we expected and more. The pick up and travel were efficient and well organised. Our tour guide had a good sense of humour and explaine out tour extremely well. Breakfast was sufficient with a variety of options. But the stars were the orangutans themselves. Photos were well coordinated its no one feeling left out. The total experience include a ride around the zoo and time to visit the souvenir shop if needed. Thanks Viator.

Breakfast with the Orangutans was fabulous! Lovely brekkie and then the Orangutans started to arrive onto their feeding platform - we were very lucky that day as around 14 of them came to have a look at the stoopid hoomans. It was amazing! Very well done indeed.
September 2015
Very well organised, picked up from our hotel on time, the tour guide explained everything well, the breakfast was OK for what it was and you really got close to the orangutans. You could get even closer to a royal Python if you so wished. The zoo is compact but there is plenty to see. A good 4 hour tour.
September 2015
The breakfast was great, lots to choose from. Bacon, eggs, cereals, pastries, and also some Asian style dishes,
The orangutans were gorgeous, very cheeky. They were out on the trees for quite a while for lots of photos. They also bought in a snake for guests to hold and touch.
Definitely worth the money.

Note: The NHLPA Is Showing Some Urgency
According to a tweet from Darren Dreger, the players are starting to show some urgency in trying to get a new CBA done.
He says that the PA is working on questions that the NHL has asked them about their stance on 50/50, guaranteed share of money rather than a percentage, make whole and contract issues such as front loaded deals that drop in salary at the end.
Larry Brooks writes in the NY Post that the players are believed to be looking at a scenario where the NHLPA brings their share down to 50% by the third or fourth year.
He also says that the PA appears willing to concede on front loaded contracts.

POOLESVILLE, Md. (WUSA9) -- Hundreds of thousands of federal workers across our region are worried about covering their bills if ths government shutdown continues.
"We saved for years to buy this home. We just moved in four months ago, says Marcelo del Canto, whowas back downtown for a news conference, pleading with Congress to put him back to work.
"We have our son home right now. Not even taking him to day care because we don't know how long this is going to go." Both Del Canto and his wife work for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health ServicesAdministration.
He's a budget analyst. But he never budgeted for this. "Please end this and get us back to work."
"We feel like we've been kicked around. This is ridiculous," says Amy Fritz, whoworks for the Weather Service.
With two Master's degrees -- in meteorology and oceanography -- she wonders how she'll keep up with over $130-thousand in student loans without a paycheck coming in.We're here to serve government. We are here to serve people. What's going on? Why can't we go back?"
Republican Andy Harris of Maryland's Eastern Shore sympathizes... but suspects federal workers will end up ok when the battle's over. "Congress has always provided retro pay for furloughed workers during a shutdown. I don't think this will be any different."
Local senators have already introduced a bill to compensate federal workers when the government restarts. But Mark Warner of Virginia worries about the impact of having intelligence analysts sitting at home now. "When you've got approximately 70 percent of the civilian intelligence workers furloughed, you are putting the country in danger."
House Republican's are proposing piecemeal legislation to fund critical parts of the government. "We're going to do National Parks, NIH cancer patients," say Rep. Harris.
But Democrat Barbara Mikulski of Maryland says piecemeal's not good enough. We need to reopen the entire federal government.
The House is now talking piecemeal funding, but Maryland Republican Andy Harris is holding out hope for the opposite.
He thinks to the way out of shutdown and upcomingdebt ceiling might be a Grand Bargain that cuts entitlements, reforms taxes and leaves both Republicans and Democrats feeling like winners.

About Rigotti Cane
The Best Cane
Rigotti owes part of their reputation to their material. The canes of the Var and those of Cogolin are among the best in the world. Grown alongside rivers and streams, Rigotti Reeds represent a large area that is maintained all year round.Cutting
The cane is cut during a winter over four months from December to March. When the cane has reached maturity (after two years when it measures seven to eight meters tall with a diameter of 26cm to 32cm), it is cut and left in the open where it will be worked on. The work on the reeds is split into stages. Rigotti only keeps the 2 or 3 meters from the base (the rest is either burned or used as bamboo). They then cut (from the base to the top) the tubes and throw away the knots to obtain tubes suited to music. This is where the true work starts. Each tube is calibrated to a particular instrument.

Comments about Rigotti Gold Clarinet Reeds:
Took a chance and I am very happy first box I bought were for my Bass Clarinet, the second for my regular clarinet. Quality is consistent, all reeds were great. I like them better than Rico. Each reed comes in an individual soft plastic pouch, not exactly a hard "protector" but keeps them clean. I just ordered two more boxes.

At the moment I have two guitars (I'm not a collector so two is enough for me), a Jackson SL3 Soloist and a PRS SE Custom 24 25th Anniversary. The Jackson is set up as a Metal guitar with Bare Knuckle Miracle Man and Sinner pickups while the PRS is more of a Rock/Metal guitar with Bare Knuckle Holydiver/Emerald pickups. I find that I'm playing the Jackson less and less so I think I might as well sell it and buy something different to set up as more of a Blues/Rock guitar. As I love the Custom 24 so much, my first thought was to buy another Custom 24 and load it with Bare Knuckle Abraxas pickups for a different feel but I've been wondering if having different pickups in essentially the same guitar would really give me that much difference. Although I hate the upper fret access on a Les Paul style guitar, I love the tone you get; so thick, rich and warm. Gary Moore is certainly my favourite player, especially when he uses a Les Paul. This got me wondering about getting a Les Paul style guitar with a nice slim neck and decent upper fret access. The only one in the PRS range that leaps to mind is the new Mark Tremonti Custom so that gives me a few key questions I'd like your help with:
1) Will the Tremonti give me more of the Les Paul tone than the Custom 24?
2) Just how bad or good is the upper fret access (nobody here seems to have one in stock)?
3) For what I want, will it be a noticeably better option than another Custom 24?
4) Are there any other alternatives you can think of, even if they're not PRS? So far I've also been looking at a LTD EC-401; Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy and Epiphone Les Paul Matt Heafy model (hate the guitarist but it has much better upper fret access)
Many thanks

The many Dubai restaurants and cafés mirror the melting pot of different cultures and nationalities that make up the city. Most of the more popular Dubai restaurants are in hotels, and you should be aware that these are usually the only establishments with alcohol licences.
That said, there are plenty of exceptional independent restaurants in Dubai. Cheapest are those venues which offer tasty fare from the Indian subcontinent. Costs can creep up significantly for more specialised international cuisine, although dining in Dubai is normally good value. The one major exception is alcohol, which bumps up the bill significantly.
Celebrity chefs such as Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White have opened restaurants in Dubai. With leading Dubai restaurants such as these, you'll always need to book beforehand.
Finally, for dining with a difference, it is well worth enjoying a dinner cruise on a traditional wooden dhow on the Creek.

Jacks outpaced in Missouri
The South Dakota State wrestling team was outpaced in a pair of duals in Columbia, Mo., by Stanford and Missouri.
The Jacks opened the weekend versus the Cardinal and, despite leading after five matches, was unable to hold in a 22-11 loss.
"We let the Stanford dual slip through our hands," head coach Chris Bono said. "Two true freshmen went out and won matches, but we were not consistent throughout the lineup. It was a dual we could have won, but it was a huge improvement from last week. The guys fought hard and did a much better job."
In its second dual of the day, SDSU faced host and No. 6 Missouri. The Tigers sported nine ranked wrestlers in today's starting lineup and raced to a 36-3 win.
"Joe Brewster beat the No. 13 wrestler at his weight in the country, which was our positive from the dual," said Bono. "As a team, we were overmatched. Missouri had a ranked wrestler at every weight and is a top-10 team. I was pleased with our progress and improvement, but it is never fun to lose two duals."
"We will get back on the wrestling mat, get better and be on our way next week."
Stanford 22 - SDSU 11
The Jacks opened the weekend versus the Cardinal and, despite leading after five matches, was unable to hold in a 22-11 loss.
In the first match, Aaron Pickrel lined up at 125 pounds versus Evan Silver. Pickrel scored a takedown in the first period and added an escape in the second for a 3-0 lead entering the final period. But Silver rallied in the third set and won by 4-3 decision.
Brance Simms was next at 133. Simms led 4-1 after a solid first period and stayed on top 4-2 at the end of two. In the third period, Simms added one point for a 5-2 decision and evened the team score at 3-3.
At 141, Ben Gillette took on Josh Lauderdale. Gillette jumped out to a 3-2 lead in the first and pushed the lead to 6-3 after two. Gillette added to his lead and put the match out of reach, scoring a 9-4 decision and giving SDSU its first lead of the dual.
Dustin Walraven matched up at 149 and trailed after the first. Walraven battled back and pushed the score higher, but dropped the decision 12-10.
In the 157-pound match, Cody Pack raced out to a 10-2 lead after the first period. After putting up seven points in the second, Pack coasted to a tech fall and put the Jacks up 11-6.
Joe Brewster took the mat at 165, but was bested by major decision.
At 174, John Nething II took on Thomas Kimbrell. The two wrestled to a scoreless first period, but Nething II fell behind 3-2 and was unable to score the decisive takedown.
Trailing 13-11, the Jacks needed to win two of the final three matches to win the dual.
First, Shea Nolan competed at 184 pounds, but dropped a 7-1 decision.
In the 197-pound match, Brandon Ballard lined up for SDSU, but was unable to get on the board and dropped a 5-0 decision. The decision secured the win for the Cardinal.
In the final match of the day, J.J. Everard was bested by 9-4 decision to close out the dual.
Stanford 22 - SDSU 11
125 - Evan Silver decision Aaron Pickrel, 4-3 (STAN 3-0)
133 - Brance Simms decision Peter Russo, 5-2 (Tied 3-3)
141 - Ben Gillette decision Josh Lauderdale, 9-4 (SDSU 6-3)
149 - Timmy Boone decision Dustin Walraven, 12-10 (Tied 6-6)
157 - Cody Pack tech fall Garrett Schaner, 20-4 (5:29) (SDSU 11-6)
165 - Bret Baumbach major decision Joe Brewster, 15-1 (SDSU 11-10)

MASSENA A vehicle stands vertically, its headlights pointed at the sky, in the middle of the St. Lawrence Centre Mall parking lot, and next to it an 8-foot bass.
The four-by-four-by-eight-foot snow sculptures attracted crowds and drivers who slowed down to get a better look Saturday as the sculptors were still chiseling away.
Dan W. Green, his brother Tom and their friend Shayne A. Charlton drove up from Watertown Saturday morning and got started on one of the four blocks of snow.
Outfitted with garden tools, homemade sanders, steak knives and machetes, the artists spent the day creating their extra-large mouth bass.
We enjoy it, but when you see kids and adults go by and see the smiles it just makes it worthwhile, Dan Green said.
Filing away at the car parked next to them were Andy A. Rabetoy, Watertown, and his father Ross L.
Its a family car and its even got a roof rack, Andy Rabetoy said.
Ross Rabetoy has been snow sculpting in Northern New York for 20 years.
I started out when my children were little and I go out on the front lawn and make Snoopy, which was easy to do, he said. One day I made a swan and pretty soon it was in the paper.
He then went on to win competitions at Snowtown USA, Watertown, and even participated in national competitions twice in Michigan, according to his son.
Once you get into it, it becomes a hobby and you get to liking it, he said. Its a lot of fun and the general public enjoys it, which makes you feel good.
The malls maintenance crew built a frame out of plywood and used a pay-loader to fill it with snow and pack the snow down.
Ronald J. Patnode, St. Lawrence Centre marketing manager, said he wasnt sure if the weather would cooperate for a snow-sculpting contest this year, as it thwarted their attempts last year.
We wanted some sort of winter event to tie in with the Massena Winter Carnival, he said. This year, we received the snow last week, but since its been so cold the snow was very dry. Since it needs to be a certain consistency to be packable we werent sure if we would be able to do it this year.
The cold temperatures didnt stop the two teams from Watertown from spending the day outdoors.
Mr. Patnode said the mall did provide sculptors with a warming room inside where they could take breaks.
Employees from the Auntie Annes shop in the mall made up a third sculpting team who carved one of the blocks in the shape of an Auntie Annes product.
Mr. Patnode said snow sculpting was a great choice because they have the space for it right near the malls main entrance so shoppers can enjoy the sculptures.
Its fun for the sculptors and also a good spectator event as well, he said. Its for the community to come over and watch them sculpt and view the final product.
The final sculptures will remain on display until they melt, Mr. Patnode said.

Everything Changes
by Tropper, Jonathan
This title was recommended to me by someone in our monthly Book Discussion Group. Having not read the author, I ordered the cd version and was hooked. (It's also available as a downloadable e-book or downloadable audiobook, but our last paper copy has vanished. Everything changes.) This is the story of man who seemed to have it all, a lucrative career, a fiancé who is both smart and beautiful, and a rich best friend who lets him live rent-free free in his Manhattan apartment until he is confronted with his own mortality. Re-evaluating his life while he waits for the results of his biopsy, Zack realizes that he doesn't want to take the fall for his customer's mistake and that he is actually in love, not with his fiancé, but with the widow of his best friend who died two years earlier in a car accident on their way home from a road trip to Atlantic City. If that is not enough to contend with, Zack's wayward father, who abandoned the family twenty years early, comes back to town and worms his way back into the family, failing to inform them of the real reason he came back to town.

Mop Men: Inside the World of Crime Scene Cleaners
by Emmins, Alan
After the CSI people have dusted for fingerprints and sprayed for blood and the detectives have detected, Neal Smither is the man who comes in to clean up the mess when people decide to pull the trigger on life. This book is, by turns, gruesome and graphic, obscenity-laced and irreverent; but it is also laugh-out-loud funny in parts. Emmins is a rank amateur when it comes to death: "Fear and murder have no bearing on my reality. I come from Copenhagen, where for the most part we ride our bicycles from café to café and drink overpriced lattes." To get the story, Emmins shadows Neal for a month. Emmins finds himself immediately put to work—and totally grossed out—as he scrubs at blood, flees maggots, and learns to clean up after himself when his stomach recoils at the sight of death gone awry. Emmins starts on his journey being appalled at Neal's cavalier attitude; a few short weeks later he is appalled to find echoes of Neal in his own thinking. But perhaps most amazing of all is how Emmins can take such a grim topic and turn it into an entertaining read.

The Spellman Files
by Lutz, Lisa
Izzy listened for the footsteps; she knew she was being followed. She made her way to her car; once she was out of the parking garage she spotted her tail. Izzy ran red lights, drove wildly and still couldn't shake her tail. She decided it was time to bring the chase to a close and confront her stalker. Izzy came to a stop, her tail pulled in behind her, and Izzy stormed to the car saying "mother this has got to stop!" The Spellman's are a family of detectives who don't believe in asking family members direct questions. They spy on and follow each other, yes of course. Izzy spent the first 20 years of her life as a juvenile delinquent in rebellion against her old brother's perfection. The story revolves around ex-boyfriend number 9 "the dentist"; the Snow case, a 15 year old missing persons case; and the disappearance of her little sister Rae.

Truth and Beauty: A Friendship
by Patchett, Ann
This warts-and-all biography of a decades-long friendship of two writers recounts the sustaining power of friendship, the complications of talent and competition, and the contrast of the spurts-of-brilliance versus consistent disciplined approach (which Patchett describes as the grasshopper or ant approach). She also explores the importance and fragility of self-esteem. Patchett, best known for her fiction such as Bel Canto, writes searingly in this non-fiction work about the frustrations suffered by her brilliant and charismatic poet friend Lucy Grealy, who survived cancer, pain, and 38 surgeries, was a major talent, charming person, and gifted teacher, but who was consumed by insecurities. For Grealy, sex was a tool that expressed hope for but didn't lead to lasting love. Her need to be loved by a man and swirling other doubts trigger a spiral of depression and drug and alcohol use. The book won the American Library Association's Alex Award.

Ready Player One
by Cline, Ernest
This is a story set in the near future of 2044. For a future in which resources are scarce and the outlook for many bleak, the biggest escape for most is a multiplayer online simulation game known as OASIS, a place where a lot of daily life is lived. When the creator of OASIS, James Halliday, dies suddenly, he leaves behind a video will. Having no living heirs, he states that whoever can collect three keys hidden in the game, with clues dealing largely with 1980's pop culture, will receive his vast fortune and controlling stake in his company. Within this world we find Wade, a teenage "gunter," players that devote large amounts of time to looking for clues to help find the keys, as he goes about finding them himself. Mixing science fiction, adventure, and tons of 80's nostalgia, it is an entertaining story for adults and teens. This book is also available in electronic and audio book formats.

CANTON Six months after Margaret L. Meg Aldous, Canton, gave birth to her third son, Drew E., a Wilms tumor, cancer of the kidneys, took his life Oct. 31, 2003.
Since her sons death 10 years ago, Mrs. Aldous has organized the Drew Aldous Walk, Run or Bike at Partridge Run in memory of Drew and to raise money for the National Childhood Cancer Society.
Just to see all the people come out and support kids with cancer is amazing, she said. We have such a small community, but they always come together.
After 10 years of walking, however, Sept. 28 will mark the last one.
Mrs. Aldous and her husband, Bradford C., have five children, Nathan B., 14, Ryan C., 12, Josh G., 8, Sara B., 6, and Ashley S., 3.
She said the walk was too much work for her to continue organizing while raising them.
Along with getting the venue ready and having T-shirts made, Mrs. Aldous organizes donations from businesses that come in as well as student groups that want to help out with the event.
Its just a lot of organization, and I have five kids, she said. I have no time to do everything, and each year it gets harder and harder to do.
Mrs. Aldous said the walk usually brings out 150 people and raises about $3,000 for the society each year.
I just want this year to be the biggest, best one that we do for the Cancer Society so that we have a big bang at the end, she said.
Mrs. Aldous said that at 5 months old, no one would have been able to guess that her baby was sick. The blood in his urine, however, told doctors something was wrong.
After he was diagnosed, Drew underwent five chemotherapy treatments, one in Boston and four in Burlington, Vt.
But then he passed away, she said. He was just too young to handle the chemo. His body couldnt take it.
Mrs. Aldous said her family keeps Drews memory alive by lighting a candle for him during family dinners every Sunday with her side of the family.
He was the most amazing child, she said. He smiled at everybody and was happy and never cried. He lit up the room.
She said witnessing the community also strive to keep his memory alive over the past 10 years has been an incredible experience and she is thankful to all of the supporters.
Im so glad Im from a small town where people have your back no matter what, she said. Its amazing to be a part of that.
The walk, run or bike event will take place from 8 a.m. to noon, with donated prizes and raffle tickets to be given away afterwards.

He counts 10 years' experience in Congress working with Sen. Pete Domenici and a 68-percent majority of the vote from the Republican pre-nominating convention in March.
Santa Fe lawyer Marco Gonzalez has some definite ideas about how his staff's work in Washington can help fill at least one of the holes in New Mexico's congressional delegation next year.
"New Mexico can ill afford to send somebody to Congress who can't hit the ground running," he said. "I can be effective within the framework of authorizing and funding programs."
He said he knows how hard it is to get acclimated to Capitol politics, because it took him five years before he had a handle on it.
Without that kind of preparation, "You'll get spun around like a top up there," he said. "The way you get an appropriation is by understanding the process."
Gonzalez is running against Dan East, a Rio Rancho businessman for the Republican congressional nomination for District 3, the seat Democrat Tom Udall will vacate to compete for Domenici's Senate post.
He wants to be part of what he calls the "post-partisanship" era.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -MNsure, the state's insurance exchange website, will soon be more accessible for Minnesota residents.
Officials said that an expansion could happen over the next several weeks, which would coincide with both businesses and individuals in the state who will be looking more closely at their health insurance options for 2014.
On Monday, KARE 11 reported on MNsure's website business hours which don't include access on weekends or holidays.
Comments on KARE's website and Facebook page Monday rolled in after the story. One Facebook fan wrote that our report "provides absolutely no 'reason' for the closure."
KARE 11 talked with MNsure's COO Erik Larson on Tuesday and asked him why the website is not always available, his answer was two-fold.
"Obviously, there's some critical federal services that we need in order to determine what programs people are eligible for," explained Larson.
Although MNsure is operated at the state level, information like income, a social security number and a person's number of dependents all come from a federal hub.
MNsure uses that hub as part of its verification process to ensure the identity of the resident which also determines what coverage you're qualified for.
Since the hub was down over the holiday weekend, it caused MNsure to close as well.
Additionally, during down hours, there's still plenty of maintenance and work to be done on the website, Larson said.
"I like to think of it as a starter kit. We deployed a starter kit, made it available to the public and we're just going to keep building on that starter kit," said Larson.
Rather than shut the site down periodically without warning, the regularly scheduled down times allow for changes to be made. Admittedly, it's not ideal, but for now it is necessary until the site is fully operational all day, every day.
"We're going to look at expanding the hours of operation," Larson said.

WEST CARTHAGE The Climax Paperboard plant was able to recover quickly from a Monday night fire.
The blaze, which started within large exhaust vents used for drying paper products at the 30 Champion St. mill, caused no damage to the buildings structure or roof, and only some replacement of motors and other relatively minor repairs were needed, said Jill E. Boliver, vice president of administration at Climax Paperboard.
Most of the repairs and cleanup were completed within hours of the fire, and the mill resumed producing paper by late Tuesday afternoon, Ms. Boliver said.
The fire department did an amazing job, she said.
Firefighters from West Carthage, Carthage, Fort Drum, Rutland, Champion and Castorland were able to contain the blaze within a half hour.

Dr. Robert D. Tufft's Ratings
Dr. Tufft literally saved my life. After years of "doctor hopping" trying to find out what was making me so ill, I was referred to Dr. Tufft. He spent over an hour with my husband and myself at my initial consultation. The tests he ordered proved his theory - I had osteomyelitis of the jaw. After several surgeries to remove necrosed bone along with hyperbaric oxygen treatments, I began my road to recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Tufft. He's an intelligent and caring physican who didn't give up on me and for that I'm eternally grateful. Debra

This November, a Cancer Center patient and her organization "No Stomach for Cancer" are leading the celebration of the first National Stomach Cancer Awareness Month.
No stomach for cancer
Mass General Cancer Center patient takes action on stomach cancer awareness
Karen Chelcun Schreiber
Two years ago, Karen Chelcun Schreiber celebrated her first Thanksgiving without something we all take for granted – a stomach. This November, she and her organization "No Stomach for Cancer" are leading the celebration of the first National Stomach Cancer Awareness Month.
Two years ago, Karen Chelcun Schreiber celebrated her first Thanksgiving following prophylactic stomach removal surgery at Mass General. After testing positive for the CDH1 gene mutation leading to Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer syndrome (HDGC), which can cause "stealth tumors" that infiltrate the stomach lining, Karen knew she would likely develop cancer that would be difficult to detect and treat. She opted for a radical procedure to remove her stomach before the disease could take root. Cancer Center pathologists discovered a handful of pre-cancerous and cancerous cells in her stomach after the procedure; she had acted just in time.
A new normal
Today, Karen is enjoying her "new normal." She has adjusted to eating smaller, more frequent meals and is even more active than she had been pre-surgery. She is also taking action to spread awareness about HDGC and all stomach cancers, which account for approximately 21,000 new cancer cases each year in the U.S. and more than 10,500 deaths. Karen's mother and older brother both succumbed to stomach cancer at young ages, alerting the family to the possibility of a genetic link. "HDGC is a fairly new genetic discovery, from 1998," explains Karen, "and is often unfamiliar to medical practitioners, but if a patient carries the CDH1 gene mutation you're almost certain to develop cancer, and there's a 50/50 chance of passing the mutation on to your children."
Reaching out to help others
Since her surgery, several of Karen's family members have also tested positive for the CDH1 gene mutation and are working with their doctors to determine whether or not to have the same procedure. Karen's goal is to reach out to all families who might be affected by HDGC, as well as individuals experiencing the often-misdiagnosed symptoms of stomach cancer. According to Karen, "Unfortunately, there is inadequate knowledge out there about this deadly genetic risk. It's crucial to spread the message so that people can be proactive about their health."
That's where Karen's organization, No Stomach for Cancer, comes in. Its dual mission is to spread awareness broadly to the public and the physician community, as well as to provide funding for research into stomach cancer prevention, early detection and treatment. A scientific advisory board has been established to guide the organization and includes members of Karen's Mass General care team – Cancer Center Surgeon Sam Yoon, MD; GI Cancer Genetics Program Director Daniel Chung, MD; Director of Surgical and Gastrointestinal Pathology Gregory Lauwers, MD; and certified Genetic Counselor Devanshi Patel, MS, CGC and other experts from around the world.
One major milestone for Karen and No Stomach for Cancer is their successful campaign to establish this November as the first National Stomach Cancer Awareness Month. They chose the month of Thanksgiving, when much attention is paid to eating and gathering with family. After all, HDGC is a hereditary syndrome, and it is critical for everyone to be aware of their family history of all conditions. For Karen, Thanksgiving – even without a stomach – holds a more important meaning: she is thankful to be here, thankful to be healthy, and thankful to be able to spread her message of hope.

Maple Sugaring Day Trips Near New York City
As much as we love NYC, there are some things you just can't do here. One those things is maple sugaring, the process of transforming sticky, tasteless tree sap into sweet syrup. However, since maple trees only grow in the Northeast region of North America, there are lots of farms and nature centers with maple sugaring events near New York City.
Maple sugaring season starts toward the end February and runs throughout March, when climbing temperatures allow the sap to begin running in the trees or "sugar bushes" as they're sometimes called. Seeing how the sap is collected, cooked and stored (and tasting the yummy final product) is a great way for kids to learn about the farm-to-table movement that's spreading across American dining tables. New York City is close to many farms and nature centers where families can watch maple sugaring demos, indulge in pancake breakfasts, enjoy maple syrup festivals and other seasonal fun. So as winter winds down, enjoy one of these sweet maple sugaring day trips, most about an hour or so away by car from midtown Manhattan. You can find more getaway ideas in our NYC Family Travel Guide.

Visitors will find maple trees fitted with collection hoses or tapped with spouts and buckets, and the sweet smell of boiling sap fills the air. Maple snacks are often available like seasonal specialty sugar on snow: hot syrup straight from the vats, poured into bowls of chopped ice. As the syrup cools, it transforms into a rubbery, chewy maple candy. There are also other tasty maple morsels to try—doughnuts and cotton candy are two of my family's favorites.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — You know fall's around the corner when the inevitable lists of the best schools start appearing. And, inevitably, the Williams College is on them.
This month, Williams' selection as one of the "New Ivies" by college-rater Unigo.com comes on the heel's of its top ranking as America's best college by Forbes Magazine.
The private liberal arts institution, and the second-oldest college in the state after Harvard, has been a perennial top-lister in various "best of" lists, including U.S. News and World Report's annual rankings. Forbes ranked Williams as No. 4 last year; this year, it popped to the top, beating out archrival Amherst at No. 3.
Forbes ranks colleges on academics and students' experiences and achievements. Unigo.com's rankings are similar and it gleans all of its information directly from students. The site offers information to help collegebound students choose the right school. The list of "The New Ivies" is among the site's "10 for 10" that includes ranking for the 10 safest, best party, most intellectual and sports.
The information culled from some 30,000 respondents placed Williams among the New Ivies with Duke and Johns Hopkins for its low student-instructor ratio, communal atmosphere and emphasis on academic experience over grades.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A Williams College junior was killed when he and other students in the college's Williams-Exeter Programme were caught in an avalanche in the Swiss Alps on Sunday.
According to a letter to the Williams community by President Adam Falk, 20-year-old Henry Lo of Franklin Square, N.Y., fell to his death and his classmate Amy Nolan of Williamstown, also a junior, suffered a blow to her head while hiking near Kandersteg, south of the capital Bern.
Falk wrote:
There were five other Williams students and two Oxford University students in the party. No one else was injured and the rest of the students were taken back to Oxford, where the program is based. Lo was a math and religion major whom his classmates described as gregarious, hard working, competitive and fun loving.
"At this profoundly sad moment our hearts are first with Henry's family for their sudden and devastating loss," wrote Falk. "No plans have yet been set for any services."
The Swiss Avalanche Institute says an average two dozen people die each year in avalanches there.

Williams College abruptly canceled a return visit by the Congressional Black Caucus on Friday, just days after discovering its organizer was in hot water in Washington.
Visiting political science professor Bernard Moore turns out to be Ernest B. Moore, whose trail of fraud goes back nearly a quarter century. He admitted Tuesday in federal court of taking more than $800,000 over the past five years in credit card and student aid fraud. Moore had 90 (!) fake credit cards.
The Williams Record did a terrific job of digging into Moore's past here. Moore, who came across as a personable sort when we talked to him last year, apparently has real academic degrees - just under fake names.
Moore's been teaching in the political science and African Studies programs for two years and was instrumental in bringing the Congressional Black Caucus to Williams last year. The roundtable discussion packed Chapin Hall; Gov. Deval Patrick was there as well.
In an e-mail sent early Friday afternoon, the college's public affairs office said:
"The symposium with members of the Congressional Black Caucus scheduled for Monday, Nov. 16, has had to be postponed. The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and the College will reschedule a similar event on campus in the near future."
Moore's been suspended indefinitely (his bio is still posted here) and faces up to 41 months in prison when he's sentenced in February.
Update 11/14/2009: A reader sends us this link from the Office of the Inspector General, Department of Education, which seems to indicate Moore never actually earned a bachelor's degree.
Update 11/16/2009: The Ephblog has also been digging into Moore's past and the current situation at Williams, where posters say his names been removed from his office door but that the rules in the faculty handbook say he may still be getting paid under the current suspension.
One poster on the Ephblog also says pictures of Moore are scarce as hen's teeth. We've posted a portrait shot and here's one of him with Jim Brown taken recently by our eagle-eyed photographer Paul Guillotte:
Update 11/17/2009: Professor Moore was fired effective Monday, Nov. 16, according to a letter to the Williams community. Interim President William Wagner said their was no evidence Moore had serioulsy misused college resources.
Update Nov. 26, 2009: The Williams Record talks with some of Moore's students, who describe a disengaged instructor with a tendency to name drop but who also was a helpful mentor to some.

POTSDAM According to Superintendent Patrick H. Brady, the Potsdam Central School District is 65 to 75 percent of its way through this years budget process. Unfortunately, though, the remaining 25 to 35 percent will be the most difficult.
We have some key decisions to make in terms of fund balance, tax levy and, unfortunately, cuts to staffing, Mr. Brady said, noting that at this point the board, which has yet to make any cuts from the budget, is facing a deficit of nearly $1.2 million.
He said officials dont know how $203 million in unallocated education funding, which was included in Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos state budget proposal, will be spent. Questions also remain about the governors pension stabilization plan and what, if any, savings that can bring to the school district.
One new development is talk of an additional $350 million in education funding that may be included in the state Legislatures budget proposal.
Mr. Brady said he hopes that the districts budget picture will look a bit better once the $203 million is allocated, answers are given regarding the pension stabilization plan and, potentially, the $50 million set aside for competitive grants, $75 million for education initiatives and $350 million being floated by the Legislature are distributed.
If they are distributed based on need, we may see some significant relief to our gap, he said.
As for whats going to be cut and how much fund balance and reserves the district should use, Mr. Brady said, that picture will become clearer in coming weeks after the state releases its final budget, something that Mr. Brady said is expected as early as March 21.
Theres certainly no good cuts. We are already bare bones, Board of Education President Christopher C. Cowen said. The administration can do all the work in the world, but the bottom line is, it all comes down to the nine people at this table.
Finance committee member Thomas W. Hobbs said the districts tax increase cap for next year is 4.78 percent. Mr. Brady said the budget at this point includes a 3.99 percent tax levy increase.
