CANTON Members of the YESeleven group are urging elected officials in Canton and Potsdam to establish a regional planning council so citizens have input into the long-term future of the Route 11 corridor that links the two communities.
Richard W. Grover, a YESeleven spokesman, urged town and village boards to move swiftly to create the council, saying hes disappointed that the process hasnt moved more quickly.
This is important because no one is talking about the future, Mr. Grover said. We want to create a plan that can breathe new life into the Canton-Potsdam community. We are trying to get people to think ahead.
The group would like elected boards to approve resolutions saying theyve agreed to collaborate in the establishment of a regional planning council as outlined in Section 239-h of state General Municipal Law.
The issue is urgent, he said, because state Department of Transportation officials from Region 7 are planning to hold public hearings this summer related to their plans for Route 11. The work involves evaluating several locations for potential sites for turning lanes, passing lanes and reconfigured intersections.
He said $6 million has been allocated for the upgrade, which is planned for 2018-19. Depending on funding, additional work likely would be several additional years down the road.
Our sense is that the Canton-Potsdam community should be prepared and organized to evaluate these proposals and give the DOT the local feedback that will be required to ensure that they meet the needs of the local community, Mr. Grover said.
Last week, members of YESeleven gave a presentation to the St. Lawrence County Planning Board that included a hypothetical long-range plan and a map of potential upgrades for the Route 11 corridor. According to the plan, initial phases would include creating a bypass around Canton, followed by a bypass around Potsdam. Later phases could include expanding Route 11 into a four-lane highway that would be connected to other highway segments to the east and west.
The session was attended by County Legislator Jason A. Clark, D-Norfolk, a member of the Northern Corridor Transportation Group, which has been advocating for a new four-lane highway known as Interstate 98.
Based on last weeks meeting, Mr. Grover said, he believes YESeleven supporters and I-98 advocates are ready to cooperate rather than compete in terms of the future of the countys transportation system.
Were all in this together, Mr. Grover said. We should be working cooperatively and constructively for the future.
However, Mr. Clark said he believes the two groups continue to have different missions.
When you consider the original mission of the YESeleven folks stop the development of Interstate 98 anything they are doing now is still a means to that end. Period, Mr. Clark said in an email. The Northern Corridor Transportation Group is still advocating for safety upgrades to existing U.S. 11 and the development of the Interstate 98 corridor. Nothing has changed.
He said its his understanding that DOTs plan, as directed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, calls for a stand-alone, limited-access, four-lane bypass from one side of Potsdam to the other side of Canton. The Northern Corridor group supports this plan.
Mr. Clark said he doesnt support the idea of setting up a separate regional planning council to offer input on Route 11 plans.
When the DOT is ready to roll the project out, I am certain that they will have a process in place to communicate with municipalities and residents, he said.
Mr. Grover said the idea of bypasses and I-98 being the same project over the long term could end the divisiveness that he said has paralyzed local thinking about the future for several years.
In other words, this new way of seeing the incremental upgrade and improvement of Route 11 could pave the way for the entire Potsdam-Canton community to work cooperatively and constructively on a long-range plan for the region, Mr. Grover said.
Thomas A. Jenison, chairman of the county Planning Board, said it makes sense to organize input ahead of the DOTs hearings.
The concept of a regional planning committee is always a good thing. If they have something they want to put forth, this is the time to do it, he said.
Members of the Northern Corridor Transportation Group are scheduled to give a presentation at the county Planning Boards next meeting at 7 p.m. June 12.

Adventures in the Twitscape
Some things, I've learned, are just going to happen. No matter what. And the less you kid yourself about their inevitability, the happier you'll be. For example, yesterday I purchased a Snuggie. I tried to resist this for a long time. I said to myself, "Self, that thing looks ridiculous! If anyone ever saw you wearing that, you'd die friendless and destitute! The Snuggie is not your friend, no matter how warm and functional!" But every time I saw the commercials, I'd hear a tiny voice speaking an undeniable truth: a blanket with sleeves for the bargain basement price of $14.95 can only exist so long before it must be in my living room. Plus, it comes with a free booklight!
In this spirit, I finally gave up and hit the fast-forward button on something else that is bound to happen to all of us. I joined Twitter.
Twitter, for those who still don't know, is sort of a global version of the Facebook newsfeed. Users post 140-character answers (disgustingly referred to as "tweets") to one simple question: "What are you doing?" Separating it from Facebook is the fact that, along with your friends, many famous people tweet (including members of Congress). In addition to posting your own tweets (I don't think I'll ever get used to that word), you can subscribe to as many other feeds as you like, keeping you informed about the myriad banalities of countless lives, all in two-sentence increments.
For example, when I joined, I became a "follower" of Warren Ellis (one of my favorite writers), Alyson Hannigan (of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, y'all), and Senator Barbara Boxer. I quickly began receiving information about their lives. It was Alyson's birthday; Warren Ellis really likes The Pogues; and Senator Boxer thinks the AIG bonuses are "disgraceful." This was kind of exciting! Although the information wasn't exactly useful, I now had a window into the real lives of people I had previously encountered only in media.
But it didn't stop there. Shortly after I became a follower of Alyson Hannigan, I received an e-mail saying she was now following my Twitter. This blew my mind. The redheaded witch in the television, on whom I'd had a crush since 7th grade, was now allegedly reading 140-character summaries of my stupid life! I couldn't believe it! No way would this moderately famous person bother to read anything I posted. I decided to test her. I posted a tweet (grr) specifically wishing Ms. Hannigan a happy birthday and thanking her for following my Twitter. Low and behold, she responded on her own "twitscape" (Jon Stewart coined that one, and we're keeping it) with a message to me: "@[myusername], you're welcome!"
I share this story not just to lose your respect, but also to illustrate the strange and possibly transformative effect Twitter could have on how we communicate. The cool thing about Twitter is it does seem to do a better job of connecting people than Facebook. Sure, you can become a "fan" of Barack Obama on facebook and get his weekly youtube address in your e-mail. But Twitter allows for greater possibility of actual back and forth between the masses and public figures--be they Buffy alums, journalists, or US Senators. It works because tweeting takes so little effort. You can read dozens of tweets in a minute, and respond in just a few seconds. Even public figures, who get flooded with tweets (@#$%) each day, can read and respond to many of them in the time it would take to compose a single e-mail.
But after two days, I'm finding this feature is also Twitter's greatest weakness. How much can anyone really say in 140 characters? Does it help me to know that Barbara Boxer is disgusted with the AIG bonuses, if she can't tell me why? Is there any possibility my conversations with Alyson Hannigan will ever be more than one-line deep? Striking a balance between convenience and usefulness is going to be Twitter's great challenge. If it manages find the right formula, it could prove a truly interesting realm of public speech. If not, it's likely to remain the domain of nerds stalking their television crushes.
One thing is certain: you're all going to join. Just give up.
UPDATE: Twitter either saved someone's life or got a student expelled--possibly both, but probably just the latter. Still, it's one of those "Wow, internet!" stories. I love those.

CREATED Feb 17, 2013
Web Producer: Taylor Higgins
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Two young boys accidentally set fire to three acres of brush, putting several homes literally in the line of fire.
Marana police and firefighters from the Northwest Fire Department responded to a large brush fire near Twin Peaks Road and the Santa Cruz River just after 12:00 p.m. Sunday, according to Adam Goldberg with Northwest Fire Department.
Goldberg tells 9OYS that two 10-year-old boys were playing with matches when some brush caught fire. The boys tried to put the fire out with water from water bottles, but they were unsuccessful.
The boys went to get help and found a woman walking her dog, Goldberg says. The woman then called 9-1-1.
Steve Celis, who lives right across the street says he coudn't believe what he was seeing.
"I walked outside and saw the while sky filled with smoke in this area, I thought what the heck was going on," he said.
The fire quickly spread through three acres, coming very close to several homes. It took firefighters almost three hours to get the fire under control, according to Goldberg.
"Parents need to contiunally stress all-year long about the dangers of matches and lighters, and assuring that access to those are kept away, and make sure that kids know that there is consequences for their actions," he told 9OYS.
Once the fire was out, one of the boys was cited with reckless burning and released to his parents, Goldberg says.
Goldberg also tells KGUN9 that both boys will have to go through the Northwest Fire Department's Juvenile Fire Setters program.

Browsing the rather good BP&O blog the other day I came across this colourful piece of work for Sour Patch Kids created by Landor's creative director Dale Doyle.
To quote the original text ¨The Sour Patch Kids is a US brand of confectionary created by Paul Mihalick in the early days of soft sugar-coated candy and now owned by Cadbury Schweppes.¨
This is a nice piece of FMCG work and a solid redesign, the iconic characters of the brand have been given new life both as silhouettes in the logo and as colourful illustrations on pack. The typography is playful yet modern and pack ensures stand out on shelf with it´s bright yellow background which stems from the original packaging. Overall it´s a nice redesign which will no doubt help boost sales immensely.
Below you can see the updated and old packaging as well as the new and old logo.

What you should know about boarding your pet
At McKinney Animal Hospital, we love your pets too! We realize that you can't always take your pet with you when you leave home, and we strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment they can recognize as their "home away from home." We treat every pet as though it was our very own!
Our Animal Care Attendants specialize in providing the kind of individual care that helps your pet to adapt to and enjoy their temporary environment. We understand that most cats and dogs thrive on their daily routine and so we make every effort to imitate their routine during their stay at MAH. In addition, we closely monitor you pet's food and water consumption, weight, eliminations, attitude, and behavior during their stay.
Should we observe any changes that may indicate that your pet is in need of medical attention, our medical staff will assess and provide what ever additional care may be needed. You can enjoy your time away from home, confident with the knowledge that your pet is receiving the best of care during their stay. Dogs are exercised at least three times daily. Dogs with special needs are exercised more often as needed. All dogs staying for more than one night will receive a complimentary bath so they are fresh and clean and ready to collect lots of hugs and kisses on your return.
Cats are boarded in their own private area, where they can relax away from all the activity. Their quiet surroundings allow them to enjoy a "cat nap," a long scratch behind the ear, and all of the attention given them by our Animal Care Attendants.
Reservations can be made by calling or stopping by our office anytime during regular office hours. Our office number is 972-548-0749. One of our Client Service Representatives will be glad to assist you in making arrangements for your pet.
We are proud to have a very popular and busy kennel facility. To be sure of obtaining space during weekends and holidays remember to call well in advance.
Availability is on a "first come, first serve" basis. We fill up fast, so please call us as soon as you can!
Should your plans change and you need to cancel, please do this promptly to allow us to fill that space.
When it comes to the safety and well being of our guests and employees, McKinney Animal Hospital practices thorough medical and safety policies.
- Vaccine requirements: All pets must be current on vaccinations. We require proof of vaccination by a licensed veterinarian prior to check-in for the following:
- Canine
- Rabies - annually (required by the City of McKinney)
- Distemper and Parvo virus (vaccine or titers) - annually
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough) - every 6 months
- Fecal parasite check - every 6 months
- Feline
- Rabies - annually (required by the City of McKinney)
- FVRCP - Feline distemper combo - every 3 years
- FELV - Leukemia (outdoor cats)
- Fecal parasite check - every 6 months
- Canine
- Puppies must have completed all vaccines and boosters before they will be eligible for boarding.
- All Pets must be free of any potentially contagious illness for a period of 21 days. Pets that have been coughing, sneezing, vomiting and/or have had diarrhea should be examined by a doctor and will not be eligible for boarding until fully recovered and cleared for their stay by one of our doctors.
- Recently adopted or new pets must have been examined by a doctor and cleared of any potentially contagious disease for a period of 21 days before they will be eligible for boarding or day-boarding.
- To be sure that we can accommodate your pet, all health, behavior, or special needs of potential boarders should be reported to our staff when reservations are made.
- On occasion, a situation may arise where we must contact our clients concerning their pet. Clients must leave an emergency contact name and number with us prior to leaving their pet in our care.
If your pets are not current on vaccines, we will be happy to administer vaccines while they are boarding. It should be noted however that vaccines are most effective when administered 7 - 10 days prior to exposure. If possible, it is best to have your pet vaccinated prior to their stay.
What to bring
There are a number of items you may be considering to bring along with your pet to keep them comfortable and occupied. All belongings should be clearly marked with indelible ink with your pet's name. Here are a few tips to help you decide what to pack.
Vaccine records
We will not be able to check your pet in until we have a copy of your pet's most current vaccine records on file. If we don't have a current record of your pet's vaccines, make sure you bring them with you. If you have requested to have your records faxed to us, please call and confirm that we have received them before checking in.
If your pet is currently taking medication, please be sure to bring an adequate supply along. Make sure you bring the medication in its original container along with specific instructions on its administration. Please advise us if the dosing has changed or if the medication will need to be refilled while your pet is staying with us. We will be happy to refill a medication, with a doctor's approval, if the medication was originally supplied by our pharmacy. If the medication needs to be refilled by another pharmacy, you will want to have it refilled prior to check-in.
Food is included in your pet's rate for boarding. We feed Hills Science Diet Maintenance dry food. Though we are happy to provide food for your pet, you may choose to bring your pet's own food along for consistency. Even a small amount of stress can affect the gastrointestinal system of your pet and may result in diarrhea. This is not uncommon for "first time" or "anxious" boarders. Should your pet experience gastrointestinal stress, we will generally modify their diet to Hills Science diet I/D. This is a prescription food that is specifically designed to be gentle to their system. If your pet is on a special diet of any type, you will want to bring your own food. We ask that you bring only the amount of food your pet is expected to eat during their stay. Your container should be clearly marked with your pet's name, your name, and the name of the food. We will ask for specific feeding instructions when you check your pet in for their stay. Please make sure you notify us of any known food allergies.
Treats and Toys
Do your pets look forward to treat and play time like ours do? You might want to include some in their bag. Please make sure that their name is clearly marked on all items to help prevent their loss. Here are a few tips to help you decide.
- Do they have a special time of day that they get their treat, or do they have to earn their treat with a trick? Let us know. We want to be as consistent as possible.
- Please, no rawhide chews. It's best that you give these at home when you can closely monitor your pet.
- Does your pet have a favorite toy you want to bring along? Some toys can be harmful if they can be shredded, broken into pieces, or swallowed. Please make sure you choose toys that are safe for your pet.
MAH provides clean towels and blankets daily for bedding. In case of accidents in the cage, these are easiest to keep clean. While you may bring your pet's bed there are few tips you should keep in mind.
- We want to ensure that each pet has ample room for food, water and mobility in their kennel. We can not accept beds that are too large for the individual kennel reserved for your pet.
- Your pet's bed may not be washable. We strive to keep your pet's kennel as clean as possible. We use disinfectants daily to prevent contamination, and we have limited ability to wash stuffed or padded beds. It's much more practical to use washable blankets and towels which we provide for every pet.
- For more specific advice concerning your pet's bedding, give us a call. We'll be glad to help.
Boarding charges start the evening you check your pet in. We charge for each night's stay. Dogs from the same family may share a kennel, however each pet is charged separately. The charges are determined by the size and weight of your pet. Your pet will stay in the largest kennel available. Larger kennel runs are typically reserved for our larger dogs, however, when room is available, we will move smaller dogs into larger runs, at no extra charge.
Reserved kennel charges are as follows:
|Cat Kennels
|$16 per/night
|0 - 25lbs
|$19 per/night
|25.1 - 50lbs.
|$22 per/night
