While per-formingroutine

tasks on a PC we oftenstop and grab the mouseto do something. Itdoesn’t have to be thatway because nearly allversions of Windows of-fer keyboard shortcutsthat save users time byeliminating that repeti-tive reach for the mouse.Today, we look at a newshortcut available inWindows 7 where users can configurethe taskbar with programs or foldersthat are used the most and use a short-cut to open or start them. Here’s how todo it in two easy steps.

First, we will create the soon-to-be-used shortcut on the Taskbar which in-volves pinning a program to theTaskbar. For this example, let’s use theWindows Calculator. Click the Startbutton and open All Programs. Then ex-pand Accessories, hover the pointerover the Calculator, and drag it to anempty area on the Taskbar. When Win-dows displays the text Pin to Taskbarrelease the button on the mouse; theCalculator icon should now appear onthe Taskbar. Move the Calculator iconto the left-most position (adjacent to the

Start button) by hover-ing over it and thendragging it toward theStart button.

The Windows key isusually between the Ctrland Alt keys on the leftside of the space bar. Toopen the Calculator withthe shortcut we just cre-ated, use Win+1 (theWindows key and thenumber 1 key on the topof the keyboard). Isthere a faster way to

open the Calculator?Please know that any program or

folder pinned to the taskbar can beopened or started with the shortcut ofWin+1, Win+2, Win+3 and so forth.Simply configure the position of iconson the taskbar. In theory, place the mostused program first, the next most-usedprogram second, and so forth.

There is no doubtthat the weather hasbeen a bit on the

warm and dry side recently.If you want to conserve timeand water, you may be won-dering which is better to wa-ter the lawn or your treesand shrubs? According toexperts, during hot dryweather it is best to wateryour trees and shrubs.

The cool-season lawngrasses commonly grown inthe region naturally slowdown as temperatures rise and soil mois-ture decreases. In hot dry years like this,turf grass specialist suggest just letting thelawn go completely dormant since lawnscan survive for 4-6 weeks without signifi-cant rainfall. In addition, watering duringhot weather can cause damage to yourlawn. Watering, especially frequent lightwatering, during hot weather encourageslawn diseases and weeds.

On the other hand, drought is verystressful to trees and shrubs. When it is re-ally hot and dry many trees and shrubs willshed their leaves, which can kill the plants.This is especially true with newly plantedtrees and shrubs which are vulnerable be-cause their root systems are not fully devel-oped.

The best way to water your landscapingis to water slow and deep. The goal is to

have the water soak into theground and not run off. Thiscan be accomplished withplastic drip irrigation bagsthat encircle the trunk of thetree. They can be quicklyfilled with a hose and thenthey slowly release the wa-ter (typically 20 gallons)over 8 to 12 hours. Thesebags should be filled one totwo times a week.

If you only have a fewtrees and shrubs to water,you can just use a hose

turned on to a slow trickle —but you needto monitor them and move them before thewater starts running off. Another low-techsolution is to drill small holes in the bottomof plastic buckets or trash cans, place themaround the trees and shrubs, and fill themwith water.

If you have not been watering your treesand shrubs and they are showing signs ofstress, it is not too late to start. This is trueeven if the plants have lost all of theirleaves. As the long as the plant is alive andstarts to get water the rest of the growingseason it can survive and even thrive.

The key to proper wateringStressful times may

trigger emotional orstressful eating. For

some, it is harder to stick toa healthy lifestyle whenfaced with higher levels ofstress. The comfort foods weoften reach for are usuallyhigh in calories, fat, and notthe healthiest of choices.

To combat weight gainduring stressful times it is re-ally important to get a han-dle on your stress. When youfeel less stressed and more incontrol of your life it is easier to stick tohealthier eating and exercise habits. TheMayo Clinic recommends the followingstress management tips to combat stress in-duced weight gain.

• Recognize the warning signs of stress,such as anxiety, irritability and muscle ten-sion.

• Before eating, ask yourself why you’reeating — are you truly hungry or do you feelstressed or anxious?

• If you’re tempted to eat when you’re nothungry, find a distraction.

• Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast.• Identify comfort foods and keep them

out of your house or office.• Keep a record of your behavior and eat-

ing habits so you can look forpatterns and connections —and then overcome them.

• Learn problem-solvingskills so you can anticipatechallenges and cope withsetbacks.

• Practice relaxationskills, such as yoga, massageor meditation.

• Engage in regular physi-cal activity or exercise.

• Get adequate sleep.• Get encouragement from supportive

friends and family.If you try these techniques on your own

and you don’t notice and improvement, youmay want to seek the help of your doctor orcounselor.

It has been an interest-ing summer in theAdirondacks; where

the weather has been mostlyfair, the fishing’s been fineand the tourists and campershave been quite manageable.

Until the downpours ofthis past weekend, rain hadbeen almost non-existent formost of the month. However,the weekend certainly ush-ered in a distinctly autumn-like feel to the weather, withcool temperatures, highwinds and a scattering ofleaves. If this is any indication of what’s tocome, fall can’t be far behind.

While most local hotels have reported adownturn in guests this season, many of theregion’s campgrounds have experienced abanner year. Across the country, parks andcampgrounds have noted a significant in-crease in visitors. Sales of tents and campingrelated gear have also shown a noticeable in-crease.

Along with all of the new campers in town,it has also been of interest to note a number ofhigh profile, political figures that have en-joyed the Great Northwoods, this season.

In the span of less than a month this sum-mer, the region has hosted the current NewYork governor for a camping trip and white-water rafting adventure, while the current at-

torney general and prospec-tive state governor took hischildren on a fishing andcamping trip in the park. Totop it off, a former U.S. presi-dent spent his time in camp,hiking, paddling and moun-tain biking.

Last week, while whitewa-ter rafting with the Lake PlacidRafting Company, I ran intoPete Burns, owner of BeaverBrook Outfitters in Wever-town. Pete, and his wife Dana,were busy running the rapidsafter spending a night in camp

with Gov. David Paterson and his family. Thecrew consisted of four rafts, in addition to ahuge supply raft.

Pete explained that the governor, a regularguest, had enjoyed a “nice weekend on theriver full of camping, swimming, fishing andjumping off the rocks. They did a lot of fish-ing for smallmouth bass, fallfish and one guyeven caught a really nice brown trout. Therewere a lot of comments about getting awayfrom it all.”

For those seeking a place to get away fromit all, there are few places better than the Hud-son River Gorge, which is almost inaccessiblewithout a raft. Conveniently, cell phone re-ception is also non-existent.

In early August, former President GeorgeBush and his wife Laura, spent a long week-

end at Camp Topridge on the Upper St. Reg-is Lake, as guests of the Harlan Crow family.Mr. Bush kept busy hiking, boating andmountain biking in anonymity, until he waseventually spotted by a group of birders whilebiking along an old railbed near Onchiota.

Back in July, Andrew Cuomo, the currentattorney general and potentially the next gov-ernor, traveled throughout the Adirondacks,driving an RV. Although he was on a cam-paign swing, Mr. Cuomo combined the visitwith a few days of camping and fishing withhis daughters.

I enjoyed an afternoon of fishing with thewhole Cuomo crew on the Lower SaranacLake and I was impressed with Mr. Cuomo’sknowledge of the local lake, which he had vis-ited as a youth with his father. It was enlight-ening to learn that he really wanted the op-portunity to share a similar experience withhis own children.

It was obvious they were an outdoor fami-ly, as the girls were not the least bit squeam-ish about handling fish or bait. And they werealso highly competitive, as a raging battlecontinued throughout the afternoon for thelargest fish of the day.

Regardless of political affiliation, high pro-file visitors have always proven beneficial tothe region’s tourism-based economy.

Visits to the park by political figures arenothing new, a point that is well illustrated bythe upcoming Teddy Roosevelt Weekend inNewcomb. A century after his visit, TR re-mains a tourist draw. The event is scheduledfor Sept. 9-12. For further information pleasevisit www.newcombny.com/TRWeekend.

When President Calvin Coolidge took overWhite Pine Camp on Osgood Pond in PaulSmiths, the property became an instant touristattraction, and remains so to this day.

Whenever such personalities visit, theirpresence attracts attention, which serves togenerate much needed exposure for the area.Their visits lend a certain caché to the allure

of the Adirondacks. I’d far prefer news storiestouting the attraction of a vacation in theAdirondacks, instead of a story about theHamptons, the Finger Lakes or Saratoga.

PERU — Running through the apple or-chards isn’t something that typically helpsthe community. That is, unless, it’s duringthe Run for Jon.

The annual 2.5-mile cross country racemarks its 20th anniversary this year, cele-brating nearly as long of helping NorthCountry families in need through theJonathan Evans Memorial Fund. The Run forJon originally started as a fundraiser for Jon’sfamily, organized by family friends ScottWoodward and Mark Elmore, to help defraymedical expenses associated with Jon’s treat-ment for rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form ofsoft tissue cancer that claimed his life at theage of 13 in 1992.

The following year, the focus on fundrais-ing for the event shifted to help provide fi-nancial assistance to families with seriously-ill loved ones.

Shirley Evans, Jonathan’s mother, said shenever imagined being part of an event thatwould raise more than $50,000 to help others— but she has and she continues to be proudit’s done in her son’s memory.

“It’s impressive,” said Evans. “We’re so ex-cited we’ve managed to carry it on this long.It makes us feel good to know when we heara North Country family needs help, we’reable to do that. It’s thanks to the generosityof all the people who are able to contributeand help put on [the Run for Jon] every year.”

The fact the Run for Jon has spanned twodecades is also amazing to Scott Woodward,one of the event’s founders. Woodward, whowas Jon’s cross-country track coach at PeruCentral School, said he continues to be im-pressed how the Run for Jon has grown froman event that drew 150 people to one thatbrings upwards of 400 people year after year.

“It’s just gratifying that it’s become some-what of an institution and a wonderful eventfor the North Country,” said Woodward.“The North Country is so supportive ofevents like this and [the Run for Jon] reach-ing 20 years is an example of that.”

“People look forward to it not only be-cause it is a cause they want to support butalso because it has become a really good com-munity, family event,” added Evans. “It’s al-most like going there is kind of celebratingwhat you have right now — your family,your friends, and enjoying the event togeth-er.”

And, just as the Run for Jon has broughtpeople together for that reason, it’s alsoearned itself interest from those wanting tobring home the best time to complete theevent.

“It’s a highly competitive cross countryrace,” said Woodward. “We have all levels of

runners and participants. We’ve had worldclass runners to walkers. It’s a great athleticand fitness event.”

The Run for Jon has traditionally begunwith the cross country race, immediately fol-lowed by a noncompetitive 1.25-mile walk.However, this year, things are switched up abit, said Woodward.

“We’re going to start things off this yearwith the walk at 5 p.m. and the run will startat 5:45,” said Woodward, adding a children’sfun run will take place between both eventsat 5:30 p.m.

This year, a balloon release will be held tomark the Run for Jon’s 20th anniversary. T-shirts will be available featuring the namesof winners of the past Run for Jon events.

“We’re hoping that we’ll have some ofthem return,” said Evans.

The Run for Jon will take place at ForrenceOrchards on Mannix Road this Saturday,Aug. 28. Registration will be held from 3:30-4:45 p.m. The event is sanctioned by theAdirondack Association of the U.S.A. Trackand Field Association.

“If you haven’t been, you won’t regret it.It’s a great event in a beautiful setting,” saidWoodward.

Those who cannot attend the Run for Jonmay send donations in care of The JonathanEvans Memorial Fund to 7 Oakdale Drive,Peru N.Y. 12972.

For more information, contact Evans at643-2414 or Woodward at 834-7583. Detailsabout the event are also available on-line atwww.runforjon.com and on Facebook bysearching the keywords Run for Jon.

PLATTSBURGH — Throughout the years, pi-anist Adrian Carr has come to notice the benefitsof music in a person’s life. Now, he’s taking whathe knows about music and extending it to thecommunity.

On Wednesday, Sept. 1, Carr will host an openhouse at the North Country Cultural Center forthe Arts, 23 Brinkerhoff St., from 3:30-6 p.m. Theplan is for people to come in and see what he willbegin offering at the center.

“I’m doing piano lessons, but also ‘EverythingMusic,’ which is kind of like a music exposureand appreciation class for young people, as wellas the North Country Music Club, which is foradults in the evening,” Carr explained.

Carr said his intention for the two classes is to“bring music into the community” by using a va-riety of techniques.

“It’s been generally shown in several studiesthat classical music really helps the brain devel-op, and for kids this is really wonderful,” Carrexplained. “I’ve noticed there is a real connectionbetween kids after they’re starting to learn pianoand get involved in music.”

According to Carr’s Web site, www.adriancar-rpiano.com, there are 12 benefits of music educa-tion. From brain development in language andreasoning, to enhancing teamwork skills and dis-cipline, Carr sees music as a “wonderful experi-ence” for people.

To bring the experience to the community, Carrcontacted NCCCA last spring and asked whatthey were doing about music at the center.

“They said, ‘Well, we don’t have any plans

yet,’” recalled Carr. Explaining what he hoped to do, the center set

up a room for him with a piano, as they wantedto encourage the music in the center as well.

“As funding is getting more and more cut frompublic schools and the arts are just suffering, Ifind that there is a space opening up here,” Carrsaid. “This is where the North Country CulturalCenter can really fill this space ... Not just in mu-sic, but in the art course they’re doing here andeverything.”

Every Wednesday, beginning Sept. 8, NCCCAwill be a day of music, according to Carr.

The Everything Music class, which will be heldin the afternoons for children ages 5 and older,will help kids understand both classical and pop-ular music.

“What I want to do is make kids music liter-ate,” Carr said. “So, that they’re not experts, butat least they know about music.

“We’ll be designing the program kind of as wego,” he added. “Questions that they might have

about music. Music that they might want to play.Topics that they might have questions about. It’svery much going to be an interactive kind ofthing.”

Carr is hoping to also bring in art instructors,so children can see the connection between mu-sic and art.

For adults, the North Country Music Club willbe held Wednesday evenings, with the focus ongetting people to appreciate music.

“It want it to be interactive,” Carr said. “Be-cause I want it to be about them. Anything that Ican do to help them appreciate music, help themunderstand something that they always wantedto know about, but just never asked, or wereafraid to ask, or didn’t know who to ask.”

For more information about the open house, e-mail Carr at [email protected] or callNCCCA at 563-1604.

PLATTSBURGH — Logan Franks has his eyeson the prize.

The 22-year-old Plattsburgh resident and Kee-seville native is coming down from his high ofplacing 11th in the Ford Ironman Competition inLake Placid July 24. Logan’s placement, whichalso included scoring the best completion time inhis age bracket, has landed him a spot to competein the World Ironman Championships in Kona,Hawaii.

The win was one that Logan had been hopingfor, but something he didn’t know he couldachieve considering he has only been competingin triathlons for about a year.

“I was hoping to be in the top 10 overall, winmy age group and break the 10-year course recordfor my age group,” said Logan, who’s a student atthe State University of New York at Plattsburgh.“I pulled away with all of them except placing inthe top 10. And, I only missed that by two min-utes.”

Logan, who is a member of U.S. Marine CorpsReserves, credits his time in the service for prepar-ing him for what can often be grueling training.

“It definitely gave me the discipline to be ableto stick with it, that’s for sure,” he said.

Logan returned from a tour duty Iraq in April2009, and prior to his return, he had one thing inmind — and it wasn’t competing in triathlons.

“I was thinking about looking into joining theNavy Seals, so I started swimming to practice,”

said Logan. “I was swimming every day towardthe end of my deployment ... then I was talking toa friend about Ironman. I went on-line and re-searched it, I thought it looked extremely chal-lenging.”

That challenge was where Logan decided to sethis sights.

“When I got home, I dropped like $6,000 with-in two days from the money I made overseas. Ibought a new bike and started training literallytwo days after I got home,” said Logan.

Enlisting the help of Scott Bombard as his coach,Logan subjected himself to training at last six toeight hours a day, many of which consisted of 100-mile bike rides. Many times when Logan felt hewas “going to die,” he reached down and pushedhimself harder.

“Training is definitely the hardest thing I’veever done in my life and that’s coming from some-one in the Marine Reserves,” laughed Logan.

Leading up to the Lake Placid Ironman, Loganparticipated in shorter triathlons in Burlington,Vt., and Bristol, N.H., pushing himself to the lim-it each time. The Bristol race was just a week afterthe Burlington event, leaving Logan to finish theevent even with blisters on his feet.

“I’ve done a lot better than I thought I woulddo,” admitted Logan. “I was just doing it at firstto see if I could do it. As I started training moreand more, it became not so much if I could finish,but how fast I could do it.”

Logan’s determination is something whichmakes his father, Dean Franks of Keeseville, beamwith pride.

“I broke down in tears when he crossed the fin-

ish line,” said Dean. “He said to me, ‘Dad, I’m go-ing to Kona.’ I’m so proud.”

Dean is now in the process of organizingfundraiser to help send Logan to Kona in October.Most recently, the Plattsburgh Moose Lodge host-ed a benefit featuring auctions of items donatedby area businesses.

Businesses like Mountain Riders, Loreman’s,TwinState and Kinney Drugs, among othershelped out with the event. Donna’s Hair Salon andArnold’s Grocery in Logan’s hometown areamong others that have showed they’re behindLogan 100 percent, he said.

“I couldn’t have done this without the commu-nity or my family backing me,” said Logan, whoalso credited Operation Injured Soldier as a majorsupporter. “It’s awesome to have not only the bestfamily in the world but also the best communityto grow up in and have these people having yourback.”

As for Logan’s thoughts on Kona? He’s keep-ing it simple.

“I hope it’s going to be a good race, but any-thing can happen,” he said. “Either way, it’s beena fun ride.”

Those interested in helping support Logan inhis participation in the World Ironman Champi-onships may send donation in care of him to 1821Main St., Keeseville N.Y. 12944.

CADYVILLE — The date March 4, 2010, is oneTammi S. Reil will never forget.

It’s the day her niece, 5-year-old Audrey Nap-per, was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, arare form of childhood cancer. Audrey, thedaughter of Reil’s brother, Neil and his wife, Mis-sy, had been under the weather for several weeks,said Reil, and hadn’t been responding to normalremedies.

“She didn’t want to eat and she was throwingup a lot,” explained Reil.

Audrey’s parents had her examined and whenthey and Reil heard the word rhabdomyosarco-ma, they had no idea what it meant, said Reil.

“We had to go onto the Internet and learnabout it,” said Reil. “And, I’ll tell you, the newswe got on the Internet was not promising.”

What Audrey’s family learned, said Reil, wasonly 30 percent of children that have rhab-domyosarcoma have signs of progress for fiveyears or more. Beyond that, nothing is certain,she said.

Though the information gave a potentiallybleak forecast for anyone with rhabdomyosarco-ma, Reil said there have been many signs forhope in Audrey’s particular case. Having nowundergone a steady regimen of chemotherapyand radiation treatments, the initial tumors thathave invaded Audrey’s body have respondedwell. Even sores Audrey developed in her mouthand throat from the radiation treatments havedissipated, allowing her to be removed from afeeding tube and eat solid foods again.

“It’s cute because every time she tries to eatsomething again she’ll say, ‘Oh, it’s just like I re-membered it,’” said Reil.

Though Audrey is seeing signs of progress,Reil said she and the Nappers recognize Audreyhas “a long road ahead.”

“She’ll still have chemo treatments every weekuntil the end of April. She’s on a treatment planthat takes 54 weeks,” Reil explained. “But, at leastnow we know that it’s working.”

The treatments have prevented Audrey fromhaving a life like most children her age, Reil said,including having to be isolated from others forperiods of time to ensure her health. Even Reil’sown daughters, who are much like sisters to Au-drey, she said, have had to spend several weeksaway from her at a time while she recovers.That’s been a tough adjustment for all of them,including Audrey, but it’s one that’s been takenin stride.

“It’s really stripped [Audrey] of being a littlekid for quite awhile,” said Reil. “But, she doesn’tcomplain about anything. She does all thesetreatments, goes back to the hospital. She knowsit’s what she has to do and she just does it.”

That’s the same attitude Audrey’s family —and even those who have simply heard of hercondition — have taken toward raising moneyfor her ongoing medical expenses. Earlier thisyear, Francine Mitchell, a friend of Reil, organ-ized a bake sale to help. Weeks later, Reil’s cousinhelped host a car wash with members of hischurch. That support is something that means theworld to Audrey’s family, said Reil.

“There are so many good people out there thatjust want to do something to help. It’s kind ofoverwhelming to see the reaction to my familyand Audrey’s need and how loved we are,” shesaid. “It’s really made us very grateful and ap-preciative of where we live.”

This Sunday, Aug. 29, a benefit is planned forAudrey at the Assumption of Mary School onClinton Street in Redford. The event will be heldfrom 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and feature a spaghetti din-ner, bake sale, children’s carnival and Chineseauction. Entertainment will be provided by NiteTrain, Ross Mafia, Country Trio plus One, Movin’On, Denim, and Neil and Summer Gillespie.

“We’re trying to make it very much a family-oriented event,” said Mitchell, who is helping toorganize the benefit that will also be alcohol and

tobacco-free.Those interested in helping Audrey and her

family may also send donations in care of AudreyNapper to 410 Canning Road, Saranac N.Y.12981.

PLATTSBURGH — CVPH Medical Center’sH. K. Freedman Renal Center needs votes fromthe community to prove they have exceptionalperformance.

Of all the kidney dialysis units across the na-tion, the renal center is one of only 19 centers tobe in the running to have chef Oliver Hale cookfor patients receiving dialysis.

More commonly known as “Chef O,” theaward-winning television host from GrandRapids, Mich., is a dialysis patient himself, andhas spent many years working to enhance lifethrough cooking health foods in order to reducehealth risks.

Chef O teamed up with Baxter Healthcare, acompany which specializes in making dialyzers,to see which dialysis units in the nation had ex-ceptional performance.

Registered dietician Tara Sherman knew KDUwas up for the challenge.

“I got this poster and it just said, ‘Do you haveexceptional performance in your unit?’ And, Ithought, ‘Well of course we do!’” laughed Sher-man.

Since becoming the dietician for KDU twoyears ago, Sherman said she has made it her goalto create fun and exciting ways for patients to un-derstand the importance of a proper diet.

“My little pet project here, I have this educa-tion cart that I wheel down the unit, and it’s a funway to educate the patients,” explained Sher-man. “So, I kind of featured that cart and justtalked about how, as a unit, it changed things.”

APowerPoint project was created to showcasewhat exceptional performance meant to the re-nal center and how it can be seen throughout theunit.

“Education needs to change every day,” statesthe PowerPoint.

Sherman uses the education cart to meet thatgoal, using hands-on education tools, instead oflecturing.

“The way they were being educated was bor-ing,” Sherman said. “It not only changed the waywe educate, but it helps morale.”

If the center were to win the challenge, receiv-ing the most votes by the end of August, Chef Owould come to the unit for two days, providingcooking demonstrations with a dialysis-friendlymenu.

“There’s a whole slew of things [dialysis pa-tients] can’t eat,” explained Sherman. “It’s verytricky for them to come up with fun, flavorfulrecipes.

Currently, the center is not in the top five con-testants, but Sherman is still hoping people willvote and show their support.

To do so, visit www.xeniumxph.com andsearch for the H. K. Freedman Renal Center. Vot-ing will be held through the end of Aug. 31.

Outside of the economy, fitness and healthy eating are among the most critical issues facing Americans today. Only 31 percent of Americans are getting adequate exercise and 68 percent of men and 53 percent of women are overweight, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health Interview survey released in March. The good news is that the tried-and-true approach of regular exercise and smart nutrition will go a long way toward managing weight loss and an overall healthy lifestyle. In fact, the benefits of being more active can be seen within a short time after starting a new routine and include more energy, less stress, lower blood pressure, improved digestive health and a reduction in cardiovascular disease risk. When you add in smart nutritional choices to your exercise routine, the positives pile

up further. “As a triathlete and a sports dietitian, I can tell you that plenty of healthy choices are convenient and taste delicious,” says registered dietician Dr. Katherine Beals. So, whether you aspire to overhaul your diet and exercise program or are just thinking about taking a few first steps to a healthier life, smart choices can start with a few simple steps. Abbs and Dr. Beals offer these tips for getting started on achieving overall better health. 1. Get and stay active: Adults should get 2.5 hours of aerobic physical activity per week and perform strengthening activities two days a week, according to the U.S. Health and Human Services department. Fortunately, it is easier than you might think to incorporate exercise into your routine. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator and find the parking spot that is farthest away to get extra steps

in between your car and your destination. Play tag with your kids, or consider signing up for a community fun run 5K. Not only do these runs usually provide an opportunity to race for a good cause, you can use it as training motivation. 2. Use interval training: Experts say varying your cardio work with a combination of easy/hard intervals will result in faster fitness gains. It also mixes up your workouts and staves off boredom. Next time you go for a run, instead of keeping the same pace, try mixing in a few sprints. Start with 30 seconds on hard and 10 seconds on easy. 3. Go for convenience: Abbs says dried fruits like Sunsweet Ones, individually wrapped prunes, are a convenient and nutritious snack whether you’re training for a marathon or just a busy person on the go. “These delicious snacks are portable, don’t spoil and deliver calories that count.” Plus,

prunes are known to support digestive health. 4. Fill up with fiber: High-fiber foods are critical to digestive health and any weight loss program because they fill you up and help keep the hunger pangs at bay. The typical American eats only about 11 grams of fiber a day, according to the American Dietetic Association, and health experts recommend a minimum of 20 to 30 grams of fiber a day for most people. Fruits (dried and fresh) and vegetables are great fiber sources including apples, pears, prunes, peas, broccoli and sweet corn. 5. After an intense workout: Carbohydrate- rich foods that are energy dense, easy to digest and familiar and appetizing - like bagels, granola bars, crackers, dried plums and fruit juices - are good choices for post- workout fare to replenish any lost nutrients. Exercise also increases the loss of water from the body, primarily through sweat, so the harder and longer the workout, the more lost fluid that needs replacing. “Drinking fluids like water, sports drinks, and fruit juices or eating water-containing foods can replace these lost fluids and, in the case of fruits, fruit juices and vegetables, replace much-needed potassium,” Dr. Beals says. Regardless of your current level of activity and commitment to nutrition, it is never too late to make smart decisions. Make the commitment today and take these steps toward a more fit and healthy you. Courtesy of ARAcontent

PORT KENT — While many people thinkof cancer as the current epidemic, DarleneLong believes it’s actually motor neuron dis-eases.

Darlene’s husband, Roger, was diagnosedwith Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, alsoknown as Lou Gehrig’s Disease in May 2009.Since his diagnosis he is now in a wheelchair,with severe weakness in his arms and hands.Darlene has been doing a lot of researchabout ALS, coming across some interestingfindings.

While typically only one person for every100,000 get ALS, Darlene has noticed thenumbers are much higher in Clinton County,and parts of Essex County.

“There’s a lady that we met who is the east-ern coast representative for the ALS [Associ-ation],” Darlene said. “She definitely saidthey know there’s a pocket here, they justdon’t know why.”

However, Darlene has learned DartmouthUniversity will be doing a study to check outthe water basin.

“They think that there may be a bacteria

that’s found along our lake,” she said. “Thatsame bacteria is found in Guam, where fivepercent of the world’s cases are.”

As Darlene has learned more informationabout ALS, she has also searched for specif-ic cases in the area, coming across 25 peoplewho have died from it since the 1980s.

“But, the bulk of the names, the majorityof them, probably three-quarters, are from2001, on,” she said. “So, this last decade hasseen the most of them.”

Darlene also came across some interestinginformation on medical shows, which statemotor neuron diseases will actually becomethe epidemic of the 21st century.

“Cancer was considered the epidemic ofthe last century, the 1900s,” she explained.“We’ve seen enough medical shows … theyfigure they’re going to have it beat by 2016.They are so close with being able to eliminateit.”

The new epidemic of motor neuron dis-eases include Parkinson’s, Alzheimer ’s,Frontal Lobe Dementia, and ALS.

The biggest issue in finding a cure forthose diseases is there are so many un-knowns, including how and why it starts.

However, the ALS Therapy DevelopmentInstitute is working on getting the answers

and finding a cure.This Saturday, Aug. 28, Darlene has

planned a golf tournament to help raise mon-ey for the nonprofit research organization.

“It takes $3 billion to get a new drug tomarket,” she explained. “From the time thatyou go down the cellular level with the dis-ease and you go through clinical trials, comeup with the medication, and get it to mar-ket.”

Although Darlene said the tournamentcould have been used to benefit only Roger,she instead took in the bigger picture.

“There’s a lot of events to raise money forparticular people,” she said. “But, the biggerpicture is we need money to fight the dis-ease.”

The tournament has already receivedenough teams, however, people can stillcome and support the fundraising efforts.

From 12 to 2 p.m., music will be providedfor entertainment at the Harmony Golf Clubin Port Kent. There will also be a plaque atthe tournament with the names of the 25 peo-ple in the area who have died from ALS.There is enough space for 40 names, and it isDarlene’s goal to have some answers and atreatment before reaching 40 people.

“The reality is it could happen to anyone.

Any family,” said Darlene. “I think until wefind some answers, every single one of uscould be impacted by this disease.”

BByy TTrriisshh MMuunntteeaannSpecial to Denton Publications

FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska — Less than a year after ahelicopter crash in Iraq that left one soldier dead and sever-al others, including himself, critically injured, Sgt. JustinLaFountain has returned to his unit.

“It’s awesome to be back at work,” said the Peru native,who serves with A Company, 1st Battalion, 52nd AviationRegiment, 16th Combat Aviation Brigade. The incident hap-pened Sept. 19, 2009, in Balad, Iraq, when the Black Hawkhelicopter he was riding in was returning to base in badweather. The crash, LaFountain recalled, happened duringthe landing. They were flying about 100 to 150 feet above theground at a “pretty good clip,” he said.

LaFountain said he was in the back, watching what hethought was heat lightning, and remembered thinking “Oh,we got this, we are gonna make that.” When they got closerhe said he “started to feel uncomfortable. A couple of sec-onds later...”

The details get a little fuzzy after that. LaFountain remem-bers the left side of the aircraft came to the ground first. Heremembers seeing some sparks and hearing a metal scrap-ing noise.

“It was all really pretty quick. We kind of bounced andcame back up,” LaFountain said. “I thought ‘go-around’...Go-arounds are free as we say.”

“Then the right side of the aircraft hit,” LaFountain said.“I remember the starting of the rolling action, the dynamic,and one second later I lost consciousness. I believe it is be-cause my head contacted the ceiling of the aircraft. I don’tknow.”

“My next memories were of waking up and seeing a dustcloud around me. At that point it really wasn’t coming tome. I was having the impression that I was having a baddream,” he continued.

When he came to again, he remembered being triaged bya female medic on the accident site. He had no idea of theextent of his injuries and told her to go over and help theothers who were on the aircraft. He told her they needed herand all he needed was some Icy-Hot for his back. He wouldcome to find out that he needed more than Icy-Hot.

LaFountain was treated at Balad Hospital that night andmedically evacuated to the U.S. Army Hospital in Land-stuhl, Germany, the next day. He recalled joking with thecaptain who was putting him on the aircraft that “only in theArmy would I be in a Black Hawk crash last night and to-day you would put me on another aircraft.”

LaFountain was at Landstuhl for only a day before beingput on another aircraft and sent to Walter Reed Army Med-ical Center [in Washington, D.C.], where he was met by hisfather and his grandmother. His wife, Raechel, arrived a fewdays later.

LaFountain spent the next several weeks at Walter Reedundergoing surgery and physical therapy. He was treatedfor a burst fracture in the L-5 vertebrae, a skull fracture, amild to moderate traumatic brain injury and a corneal abra-sion on his left eye.

“It wasn’t until I got into physical therapy that I reallystarted nailing down details. I had my surgery on a Thurs-day afternoon; on Friday morning my physical therapist andoccupational therapist came in, they were amazed,” saidLaFountain, referring to when he could stand up using awalker and stand on one leg and then the next.

LaFountain remembers being disappointed they wouldn’tlet him try to walk but that just that little bit of movement“took a lot out of me,” he said. He still didn’t understandtheir excitement when the next day he walked to the doorand back.

“What’s the big deal, I am supposed to be able to walk,”he said, recalling a conversation with his physical therapist,after becoming an outpatient. “I don’t understand what youguys are so excited about, I’m up, I’m walking. This is whatpeople do, this is what soldiers do.”

It was then he finally understood the extent of his injuries. “She told me ‘No, I don’t think you understand. On paper

you look a lot worse than you do in person. They didn’t ex-pect you to walk again. Your spinal canal is 60 percent com-

promised and with the loss of feeling that you have in yourlegs, it wasn’t looking good,’” he recalled.

LaFountain was released from the Walter Reed WarriorTransition Battalion in early December and returned to Alas-ka where he was attached to B Company Warrior TransitionBattalion. He continued to heal, qualified and competed inthe inaugural Warrior Games in May at the U.S. OlympicTraining Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., along with Sgt.Allen Marley, also from Fort Wainwright’s WTB, who won asilver medal in the air pistol contest.

“It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Beingable to go to the training center and live and train there fora week. It is something most anyone in the world wouldwant to be able to experience and I got to do that,” LaFoun-tain said. “Being able to participate in the first WarriorGames was extremely inspiring. One of the best parts ofthese games is showing soldiers that they still have the op-portunity to do things that they loved to do before.”

LaFountain, a platoon sergeant and crew chief, returnedto work June 1.

“Before I was a squad leader and before I got injured I wasan assistant platoon sergeant. I’m doing my job,” LaFoun-tain said. “I don’t get up so much on aircraft, fixing as I didbefore, because I have other responsibilities. I managed toreceive a temporary up slip so that I can fly. We are waitingfor word back from Fort Rucker...” about the permanentclearance.”

“I’ve had two flights so far,” LaFountain said. “It wasgood.”

He said it wasn’t scary getting back on a helicopter, but itwas exciting.

“It came back amazingly well, it was like second nature.The unit has always supported me. I kept in contact withthem while I was in Walter Reed,” LaFountain said. “Theywould send me e-mails. It was a good morale booster. Iwould send pictures. They would print them and postthem.”

His goal was always to come back to his unit, but he hadto sell the idea to his platoon sergeant, his first sergeant andcommander who had their doubts because of his injuries.

“To me, it never really entered my mind, hey I am not go-ing to walk again or hey I am not going to fly again,”LaFountain said.

“Once the accident happened, the morale of the companywent down, but he stepped up,” said 1st Sgt. Gary Sanders,A/1-52nd, 16th CAB. “He sent us a picture of him standingup, on a walker, moving around. As soon as we posted that,morale of the troops went straight through the roof.”

“He won’t take credit, he won’t say ‘I did something’, buthe did,” Sanders said. “He said, ‘Look team; I’m still here inthe fight. I am trying to get back in the fight.’ He inspiredus.”

Needless to say, things are looking up for LaFountain. “It’s good to be home,” he said.

of a “School of Distinction,” for making “significant strides in preparing their students forcollege.”

“This is a wonderful thing,” Mazzella said of the recognition. “The credit really goes tothe team of teachers who participated and worked with our students. It shows their com-mitment to helping kids.”

Physical education teacher Natalie Schaefer, who serves as the school’s CFES liaison, wasalso pleased with the School of Distinction award, calling it “quite an honor because a lim-ited amount of schools receive it.” The school’s interaction with students for the past fouryears — which has involved promoting financial aid awareness, educating students on thecollege application process and involving them in peer mentoring — has given great insightto the world of higher education, said Schaefer.

“The response from the students has been fantastic,” she said. “I can’t tell you how many

students who have said they never wanted to go to college are now excited about going tocollege.”

Students involved with CFES, which reached more than 50 last year at Peru High School,were also able to tour campuses of Clinton Community College and the State University ofNew York at Plattsburgh. That kind of close-up look at institutions of higher learning wassomething Schaefer said was invaluable.

The added benefit is students participating in the program have had higher grade pointaverages, more positive attitudes towards school and increased civic engagement.

“It’s just been a wonderful program to have instilled within the school,” said Schaefer.“It’s great for our kids,” added Mazzella. “It helps give them the best opportunity to be

successful in high school and in college.”Peru High School was joined in School of Distinction recognition locally by Keeseville El-

ementary School, Willsboro Central School, Crown Point Central School and TiconderogaMiddle School for meeting academic goals during the 2009-10 school year. Only 14 schoolsoverall were recognized nationwide.

PLATTSBURGH — Those wanting to learn about culturesfrom far away places don’t have to travel great distancesthanks to a program at the State University of New York atPlattsburgh.

Partners In Cross-Cultural Learning, sponsored by theuniversity’s International Student Service Office, is a pro-gram that matches newly arriving international studentswith volunteers from the community.

Program coordinator Michelle St. Onge, Peru, explainedthe program provides students with “an authentic experi-ence of life in the United States,” while local residents aregiven the opportunity “to glimpse into different culturesthrough interaction with the students.”

“It gives people here an opportunity to relate to peoplefrom different cultures,” said St. Onge, “and it allows stu-dents to become more integrated into American culture,which is slightly different off campus than it is on campus.”

Through “casual, social exchange,” international studentsestablish a “friendly and supportive link” to the communi-ty, said St. Onge. Each semester, students are matched withcommunity residents and meet about once a month for in-formal activities such as family dinners, trips to the moviesor casual outings.

The PICL program doesn’t require the international stu-dents to be housed by PICL community volunteers as theylive on campus, noted St. Onge. However, community vol-unteers — who go through a required application process —

are encouraged to welcome students into their homes to getan impression of day-to-day life in an American family.

“It gives them a chance to see the inside of an Americanhome and see how individuals in an American family relateto one another,” said St. Onge. “Even simple things likewhere you put your dishes or what your restrooms look likeare things that are very different that we can take for grant-ed.”

The experience is one that educates students and commu-nity volunteers while having fun at the same time, said St.Onge.

“It’s getting to experience your own culture through some-one else’s eyes,” she said. “And, it’s a way to share your ownexperiences, your life and the things you enjoy doing withsomeone else.”

“It’s all about fun,” she added.PICL also coordinates various social activities throughout

the semester such as bowling outings and sledding parties.Currently, there are more than 50 volunteer and internation-al student partnerships through the PICL program.

“We’d like more community partners to participate be-cause, right now, we only have enough to get the new incom-ing students paired up,” said St. Onge, who noted the pro-gram sometimes struggles with community interest. “Some-times we get returning students who would like to have anew partner and we’d like to have enough partners to re-match them. We’re always looking for more volunteers.”

This Saturday, Aug. 28, an informational meeting aboutthe PICL program will be held in the auditorium of the Platts-burgh Public Library, 19 Oak St. The meeting will begin at 4p.m. Applications to become a PICL community volunteer

will be made available during the meeting and will contin-ue to be accepted through Friday, Sept. 10.

For more information, contact St. Onge at 564-3270 or viae-mail at [email protected]. Details about the program,including an on-line community volunteer application mayalso be found at www.plattsburgh.edu/admissions/interna-tional/picl.php.

Community volunteers sought to interact with international students

Michelle R. St. Onge of Peru and her sons, Ethan and Ben, are joined byJaxongir “John” Jurayev from Uzbekistan during a tour of AusableChasm in Keeseville. Jurayev is an international student at the StateUniversity of New York at Plattsburgh who was paired with the St. Ongelast year through the Partners In Cross Cultural Learning program.
