had by thousands of visitors.
Then again, when you have
carnival rides, games, live
entertainment, good food and
more, all topped off by a grand
parade down Ford Street to
the St. Lawrence River, how
can a good time not be had?
The schedule, while subject
to some additions, is in place.

Enter A Float In Festival Parade July 24
The Ogdensburg International Seaway Festival’s 50th
Annual Parade committee is
encouraging commmunity
groups, civic groups and businesses to support this year’s
parade by Mentering a float in
this summer’s parade.
The Seaway Festival’s 50th
anniversary celebration is
only five weeks away and only
a few floats have signed up.
Float chair Kevin McDonough
is calling on local businesses,
fraternal organizations, veterans groups, families, friends
and non-profits to join in the
celebration.
“We want more people to get
involved. It’s big milestone for
us,” he said.
Mr. McDonough says it’s a
great way to advertise civic
clubs, businesses, organizations or even neighborhoods.
Neighbors in Heuvelton,
Lisbon, Waddington, Morristown and Hammond are all
invited to take part in the Seaway Festival’s 50th year celebration, according to Festival
Chair Chris Cole.
While participants are
awarded prizes, they also
achieve a great accomplishment that comes from planning, constructing and presenting a float in the North
Country largest parade.
“It’s all about the enjoyment
of people working on floats
and people seeing floats.
That’s what makes the Seaway Festival week so great,
but we need more people to
expand the number of floats,”
said Mr. McDonough.
The parade is July 24.
The parade starts at 11 a.m.
Mr. McDonough said he participated in the first Seaway
Festival Parade in 1960 and
has been actively involved as
an organizer since the mid
‘70s. He said over the years
the number of floats has
waned, but he hopes the community will come forward and
go the extra mile this year for
the 50th anniversary of
Ogdensburg’s biggest event
This year's theme is "Celebrating the 50th Anniversary
of the St. Lawrence Seaway
Festival”
Floats will be judged on the
theme, concealment, color, balance and crowd appeal.
The deadline for applications is July 22.

Band Bios:
• Tas Cru (aka Rick Bates) Aug. 6:
Original songwriting from
this edgy bluesman has
earned Tas Cru the moniker,
"the master of the triple
entendre." His songs are
eccentric, quirky, and sometimes boldly irreverent with a
repertoire that is equal parts
power, passion, and pure
hilarity.
This combined with his
soulful voice and skillful
guitarwork has earned him
his reputation as a bonafide
"triple threat."
• Senior Moment - July 23
and Aug. 13: Foot stomping
fiddle tunes and old time
country featuring a state fiddle champion from the ‘70's
Floyd Sherman; singer and
guitarist Steve Oshier, a well
known artist from the north
country that spent some time
in Virginia playing and
singing his heart out; and,
Ray Gardner on the stand up
bass (of the Lime Hollow Boys
for the last 8 years).
• A Fine Line - July 2 and
July 30: Jazz from the Great
American Songbook since
2004. From their very first gig
Bill Vitek and Dan Gagliardi
have worked to create music
that celebrates the duo.
Piano and bass are equal
players in this jazz ensemble,
and there is plenty of room for
both players to express themselves, and for special guests
too, some of the very best jazz
musicians in the North Country. The music moves easily
from hard driving swing to
open ballads. The players are
always listening and responding to each other and to the
audience.
• Northbound - June 25,
July 9 and Aug. 27: Northbound performs an eclectic
mix of folk, acoustic, and classic rock. Their influences
draw from the great singersongwriters of the 50’s
through today; names like
James Taylor, Paul Simon,
John Fogerty, The Beatles.
They have been performing
in the North Country together
for years and always bring an
exciting blend of music that
spans a wide variety of musical tastes.
• The Hazel Pearl Band June 18, July 16 and Aug. 20:
Heavy on good vibes and a
groovin’ sound, The Hazel
Pearl Band plays a wide variety of standards for all the
right reasons.
HPB is Michael Budler on
lead electric guitar, Dave Nelson on bass and Rev. Mike
Catanzaro on acoustic guitar
and vocals.

Craft Show
Kicks Off
Festival
On July 17-25 the Seaway
Festival Committee and
Ogdensburg will be hosting
its 50th International Seaway
Festival. Every year the Seaway Festival draws people not
only from our surrounding
communities, but also from all
over the United States.
This year, the Seaway Festival starts off with the Seaway
Festival Craft Show on July
16-17 at the Richard Lockwood Civic Center. The hours
for the craft show will be 10
a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday and
10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sunday.
Every show grows with not
only the number of crafters
attending, but also the number of individuals looking for
that special gift for a loved
one. The festival’s craft show
gives local crafters the opportunity to sell their hand made
wares that consist of wooden
benches, blankets, jewelry,
baby clothes, and other novelty items. Every year there is
always something new.
The number of crafters and
individuals attending is
expected to increase because
this year less than 20 yards
away the Fort LaPresentation
Association will be hosting:
Founders Day 2010 - 250th
Anniversary Commemoration
of the French and Indian War.
Founders Day 2010 is expecting to draw between 5,000 to
10,000 people for this one
time event.
At the present time the
Seaway Festival has between
40 to 50 crafters attending
with room for more. Set up
time will be July 16 between
4-7 p.m. It’s on a first come
basis. Spaces are 10x10 with
some having power. Please
bring your own chairs, tables
can be provided for $5 per
table. Each crafter must have
a NYS Tax License and will
be responsible for collection of
sales tax.
Please contact Michele Morrison at 315-393-9274 with
any questions and to reserve
a space or spaces. Spots are
going fast, so don’t wait to the

Gateway Museum Offers Concert Series
By MATT MCALLISTER
MORRISTOWN - Two full
months-worth of events are
being coordinated by the
Gateway Museum for this
year’s Morristown Summer
Concert Series. The museum
has scheduled its annual
opening on June 5 and 6,
with a tribute to local veterans planned from 2 to 5 p.m.
each day. The annual garage
sales will be held at the
museum on June 12. Contributions are welcome, except
clothing.
“We’re attempting to
spread the excitement
through the summer, instead
of putting it all on one day,
as we did a few years back,”
said Chris Coffin.
According to Mr. Coffin, a
quilt show to be held from
Aug. 6 to Aug. 8 at the
museum is drawing quite a
bit of interest.
Quilts from Morristown
and neighboring communities will be featured. Over
seventy quilts were on display at last summer’s show.
“Many of the quilts in the
show will be family heirlooms made by ancestors of
residents in the community,”
Mr. Coffin said. “Others will
be new quilts made by con-
temporary crafters. The quilt
show committee is asking for
entries for this year’s show
which were not displayed in
the previous quilt show at
the museum.”
Anyone interested in submitting a quilt or getting
more information is invited
to email [email protected] or phone
(315) 375-4467. The committee organizing the quilt show
is chaired by Patty Reagen.
Other members are Ruth
Bogardus, Nancy Russell,
Pat Tocatlian, and Sue Wilson.

Mark Valley Making Guest Appearance
Colonial Battle, Trade Fair July 16-18
Action, adventure, heroism The stuff of a Hollywood
blockbuster were the elements of the 1760 Battle of
the Thousand Islands when
the fate of the French Empire
in North America was decided
on the St. Lawrence River.
July 16-18 Ogdensburg’s
Lighthouse Point hosts New
York State’s final 250th
anniversary commemoration
of the French and Indian War
honoring Fort La Présentation, Fort Lévis and the Battle
of the Thousand Islands.
The re-enactment and colonial trade fair sponsored by
the Fort La Présentation
Association promises an
inside look at our 18thcentury
history.
The boring pages of schoolbook history will turn to real
life: Armed soldiers uniformed
in red and blue; military
encampments under white
canvas; historical wooden
boats lining the shore; more
than 35 period trades and
merchants, artists, artisans,
dancers, musicians; and daily
battles on land and water.
Each afternoon, visitors will
witness the two-part Battle of
the Thousand Islands unfold;
The August 16, 1760 capture
of the French 10-gun corvette
L’Outaouaise by armed
British row galleys and the
August 23-25, 1760 siege of
Fort Lévis.
Special guests from the
United Kingdom, France,
Canada and the United
States to join the celebration
of our shared history; including military attachés posted
to embassies in Ottawa, politicians from Ontario and New
York, and one distinctly special guest.
Ogdensburg native Mark
Valley, Iraq War veteran and
Hollywood actor, plans to join
the ranks of the French military re-enactors.
The French mission of La
Présentation founded in 1749
was Ogdensburg’s first settlement, almost 50 years before
the arrival of American settlers. Until 1759, the countryside on both shores of the St.
Lawrence was home to more
than 3,000 Iroquois and their
allies loyal to France. Warriors from La Présentation
fought alongside the French
against the English in the
Mohawk and Champlain Valleys.
By 1758, the English gained
the upper hand and construc-

tion of Fort Lévis began on Île
Royal (Chimney Island) three
miles down river from La
Présentation. In March 1759,
the wooden palisades of La
Présentation were abandoned
and the troops went to Fort
Lévis to complete the works
in hope the stronger fort
would stop the English
advance. An 11,000-strong
Anglo-American
army
descended the river in August
1760; only 350 French soldiers
and Canadian militia stood
between them and Montreal.
The Battle of the Thousand
Islands was about to begin.

Come To Mare’s Wares Art Festival July 1st
MORRISTOWNN - We are
truly rockin’ this year folks,
and would really love it if you
would join us for the day on
July 1 - yes, it's a weekday. It's
Canada Day .. and apparently
everything closes north of the
border on July 1, so those
Canadians with wanderlust
and a taste for something
more exciting than hanging
out in the backyard head
south. It's also the week before
our own Independence Day
celebration, and a whole lot of
St. Lawrence River summer
residents head up early for the
holiday weekend. And from all
the noise we got from yearround residents last year who
were working all day and
couldn't come, it appears we
have a lot of local support as
well - so we're extending the
hours this year to allow their
participation.
Our intention with this
event is to promote creativity
and talent in ALL its forms scheduled to be available are
fabulous handcrafted products,
authors, musicians, organic
farmers, licensed body workers
and body care, story tellers,
wineries, and more.
Demonstrations and activities will be going on throughout the day including:
Live music all day, including
our headliner, Paul Baldwin
Blues Band. After years of
performing throughout the
U.S. with WC Handy award
nominee Chris Beard, Paul
Baldwin has decided to step
out with his own band the
“Paul Baldwin Blues Band.
From supporting national acts
such as BB King, Buddy Guy,
Tommy Castro, Debra Coleman, and Susan Tedeschi to
headlining, Paul Baldwin has
made the next transition in a
promising musical career. To
create his band Paul knew he
needed the right compliment
of musicians that would give
him the sound he heard in his
head. After months of searching, he found the right combination
in
Ben
Bach
(keys/vocals), Tommy Gunn
(bass/vocals), and Donnie
Bruce (drums). Playing a “no
holds barred, take no prisoners” type of Blues, the Paul
Baldwin Blues Band is powerful, melodic and soulful. The
music pulls you in and captures your senses. But don’t
worry, they’ll” give them back
at the end of the day…..maybe.
Raku firing and Pottery-onthe-wheel demonstrations
Paula Towne of Trinkets in
Gouverneur will be producing,
for a very reasonable $20, onthe-spot portraits for anyone
willing to sit for 20 minutes.
Paula has created 3,000 or
more of her “guaranteed” likenesses over the 12 years she’s
been doing the pencil portraits
(and she does more elaborate
oil commissions as well) .. and
no one has gone away dissatisfied yet!
Gerald “Gerry” Smith, lifelong professional birdwatcher
and president of the Onondaga
Audubon Society, will be signing and selling copies of his
new “Birding the Great Lakes
Seaway Trail” field guide, a
full-color compendium of the
birds and the byway habitats
where you find rare and common species of songbirds, raptors and waterfowl along the
St. Lawrence River, Lake
Ontario, Niagara River and
Lake Erie in NY and PA.
Fort La Presentation will be
present, in costume, promoting
their big July 16-18 Founder’s
Day celebration and re-enactment
Marty Snye of The River
Forge will be demonstrating
his art
Connie B. Burke a.k.a Rya,
will be providing psychic con-
sultations. Rya is a fifth generation psychic who has been
giving readings professionally
for over fifteen years. The type
of psychic readings that Rya
offers is known as psychometry ; a psychic skill in which
information about people (living or dead), places and events
is obtained by handling objects
associated with them. Once
you place your belonging in
Rya's hand she will take a
brief moment in meditation to
readjust herself to your particular energy or that of the individual that you are seeking
contact with, this will take a
few moments. Rya's eyes will
remain closed through out
your session, this helps her to
retain her altered state. Rya
has worked numerous psychic
fairs throughout the New York
area and has made several
guest appearances on both television and radio. In addition
she has worked numerous corporate parties over the years
for companies such as Oneida
Limited, Chrysler in addition
various law firms have utilized
her services for their events.
Also Rya has been contracted
to read at events such as an
Anne Rice booking signing,
"The Night of Knights" New
Years Eve party held at the
casino. A popular lecturer, Rya
has presented workshops teaching people various techniques of
channeling and divination
Home Again Farm will be

Enjoy Norwood’s Concert Series
NORWOOD - The Norwood
Village Green Concert Series
has programmed its 2010 season, the 37th annual season of

family setting.
The series is supported with
public moneys by the New

a public agency, the St.

Bureau, the town of Potsdam
and the village of Norwood.
The private sector accounts for
its main source of income via
foundations, corporations, civic
associations and individuals.
In 2010 the diverse categories of performances include
Chilean, Celtic, Big Band jazz,
world music, family programming, acoustic, rock, vocal,
symphonic styles and street
music. Most of the music performed is the creation of the
performer.
Jazz: Clarinet virtuosos Ken
Peplowski will join the Wally
Siebel All Star Big Band for
an evening of big band jazz.
World Music: Chilean guitar
styles along with Australian,
British Isles, Canadian and
the spicy flavors of Latin

MASSENA - The arrival of
the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce’s Heritage
Festival heralds the beginning
of a number of other activities
taking place throughout the
summer in Massena.
This year, those activities
include the return of the
Fouth annual Robert Thompson Blues Bash as well as the
first-ever staging of a Bassmasters tournament.
The Blues Bash, which hits
the stage July 4 at the
Massena Springs Park bandshell, features some new and
returning groups including
Smokin’ Aces, Tom Townsley
Band, Bernie Clark and the

Massena will play host to a
new event this summer, the

coincides with Massena Central High School’s graduation
ceremonies.
He said they’re anticipating
about 50 anglers will take
part.
There will be approximately 25 teams with two
anglers to each boat.
An organizational meeting
for participants will be held
from 3:30 to 7 p.m. June 25 at
the Massena Country Club,

Junior Carp Tournament Aug. 19-21st
By MATTHEW CURATOLO
CANTON - At the St.
Lawrence International
Junior Carp Tournament, the
carp the youth are chasing
are given the royal treatment.
There are strict rules in
place when landing a fish so
they are not harmed. Trained
marshals will pick the carp
up and weigh them.
A tag will be placed on a
fin and it will them be
cleaned up before its release
back into the St. Lawrence.
There’s one rule that is not
strictly enforced.
“Kissing them is optional,”
said Patricia L. McKeown,
executive director of the St.
Lawrence County Chamber
of Commerce, referring to a
European custom that’s part
of the spirit of carp fishing.
The 8th annual St.
Junior Carp Tournament,
sponsored by the St.
of Commerce, will be held
Aug. 19-21.
The annual competition
takes place on a 36-mile
stretch along the St.
Lawrence, beginning in
Ogdensburg and ending at
Hawkins Point in Massena.
The day before, on Aug. 19,
the Mort Backus and Son
Carp School will be held at
the Madrid-Waddington
School, and will help newcomers understand the ins
and outs of carp fishing plus
give them an overview of
water safety.
It’s a tournament started
all those years ago with the
help of a young movie star,
Tom Felton, who is known to
many as Draco Malfoy in the
successful Harry Potter
movies. While Mr. Felton has
grown up himself, his frequent trips to the tournament in its younger stages
are no longer.
However, the success of the
tournament is sustaining it,
according to Ms. McKeown.
“Tom Felton had an interest in carp fishing and he
really helped us get it going.
The tournament has legs of
its own now and carries on
without movie stars,” said
Ms. McKeown.
It also helps to have dramatic finishes.
That’s what happened last
year when Dale Vallance, of
Madrid, reeled in a carp just
as the two-day St. Lawrence
International Junior Carp
Tournament came to a close.
That catch made him the
2009 grand-prize winner of
$2,500.
Hooking a carp, enjoying
the fight and releasing it to
be caught again, with or with-
out a kiss and its other rituals, is what makes the tournament, and carp-fishing in
general, extremely popular.
“It’s really quite dramatic,”
said Ms. McKeown.
This year, the youth tourney will have one of its own
as its grand marshal in Jake
Losey who has fished in it
since it started.
Mr. Losey, a 2007 graduate
of Massena High School,
holds an associate’s degree in
Criminal Justice from North
Country Community College,
graduating in May 2009.
During the tournament, Mr.
Losey will travel the carp
fishing route along Route 37,
assisting participants and
volunteer marshals alike.
It’s his job to resolve any
disputes that may arise and
interpret the rules, according
to Ms. McKeown, as well as to
help present trophies to the
winners at the final ceremonies on Aug. 21 at MadridWaddington Central School.
The St. Lawrence International Junior Carp Tourna-
ment is open to young people
age 11-18 and their parents.
Ms. McKeown said that
between 30-35 participants
have already signed up to fish
in this year’s tournament.
Registration forms and
information can be found on
the St. Lawrence County
Chamber of Commerce Web
site at www.NorthCountryGuide.com, or by calling
the chamber at 877-228-7810.
The cost is $100 per person
until July 15; after that the
price is $125.

Prescott Offers Shakespeare Festival
PRESCOTT - Bringing a
selection of familiar faces and
new talent to Prescott each
summer is one of the hallmarks of the St. Lawrence
Shakespeare Festival and
excitement is building as the
Festival recently announced
its biggest ever cast for 2010.
Among the 23 strong
ensemble, audiences will see
Festival favourites Michael
MacDonald, Warren Bain,
Brent Buchanan and Alix
Sideris. Also making a return
will be Kris Joseph playing
the title role in Macbeth.
When asked how he felt about
playing such an iconic role, he
said he was: “Flattered. And
terrified. But mostly terrified.
It is impossible to take on a
role like this without having
it compared to every great
actor's interpretation of the
part. But I'm excited to
explore the role with this company.”
Newcomers to the Festival
include the award-winning
Ottawa actor Pierre Brault,
recent National Theatre
School grad Ron Klappholz
making his professional debut
and local celebrity Mo Bock,
who will be playing the lead
role of Falstaff in the brand
new comedy Trouble on Dibble Street. Rounding out the
cast is a selection of actors
from across the country,
including Vancouver, Toronto,
Ottawa and Montreal.
Local audiences might also
recognize some of the younger
members of the company as
the Festival is utilizing the
talents of children from the
local area. Cliff Bauder, Jill
Foster, Jacob Isaac, Kayla
Maggio and Logan Whyte will
all be playing roles in one of
the two mainstage shows.

Visit Ogdensburg’s Green Market
By BRIAN KIDWELL
The Ogdensburg GreenMarket is offering a variety of local
vendors selling local handmade crafts, home-grown produce and home-baked goods
overlooking the shore of the
majestic St. Lawrence River.
The GreenMarket, which is
set up along the Riverside
Drive side of Library Park,
runs twice weekly until Oct. 9 Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. and Wednesdays from 2 to
6 p.m.
The Ogdensburg GreenMarket is in its fourth season of
selling local produce, crafts,
flowers and other homegrown
and handmade specialties.
Greater Ogdensburg Chamber of Commerce Executive
Director Sandra M. Porter predicts visitors will be surprised
by how many vendors are selling at the GreenMarket.
“I’m looking forward to a
very good year for the market
since we are going to be open
for two days a week for the
entire season,” she said. “If you
remember, we didn’t start our
Wednesday market until after
Labor Day last year.”
GreenMarket, according to
Mrs. Porter, is part of what
was once a trend and is now a
vital, nationwide commercial
and economic establishment.
And it’s good for you.
“Farm markets across the
nation are gaining in popularity and being recognized as the
best source for fresh, nutritious local foods and plants,”
Mrs. Porter said. “Farm markets are a boon to the local
economies, too.”
Some of the vendors slated
to be at the GreenMarket
include:
•Brian and Debbie Hicks;
chicken, eggs, herbs and spring
vegetables.
•Brian and Ann Bennett;
organic vegetables, eggs, herbs
and bedding plants.
•Cliff and Marie Cook; pork,
sausage, lamb and vegetables.
•Joe Metz; organic vegetables and herbs.
•Linda Kingston; fruits and
vegetables.
•Kathy Gordon; hanging
baskets and bedding plants.
•Deb and Malcolm Middlemiss; baked goods and crafts.
•Kevin and Traci Ellison;
vegetables, crochet scarves
and totes.
•Claudia Fantone; vegetables, fruits and cut flowers.
•Judi Questel: biscotti,
cookies, bread, pies and granola.
•Ashley Havens; gemstone
jewelry.
•Candy Brown; garden
stepping stones.
•River Myst and Thousand
Island wineries; local wines,

Ogdensburg Bottlers Inc.,, the
GreenMarket received a $250
marketing grant from Pepsi
corporate to purchase five
vinyl three-foot-by-four-foot
banners promoting the
farmer’s market.
The banners have been
placed in five high-traffic locations in the city:
•On the guardrail in the
traffic rotary on the north side
of the intersection of routes 68
and 37.
•State Street near the Route
37 overpass; Bridge Approach

Visit Lisbon Beach, Campground On Rt. 37
By JIMMY LAWTON
LISBON - If you’re searching for a majestic retreat on
the St. Lawrence River look
no further than Lisbon Beach
and Campground.
The town owned park features more than 80 camp sites
with the majority available
for electric hook ups. A walking trail runs around the
parameter of the campground
for those looking for a tranquil workout. If you want to
take a dip in the river, a sand
filled beach complete with life
guard is open for the day light
hours.
The affordable, and well
maintained facility also
houses a recreational area
complete with fence enclosed
basketball and tennis courts.
A volley ball court is also open
for public use.
With the seasonably warm
weather this spring and the
closure of some area state
parks, camp sites are filling
up quick. Camp Ground
Director Mike O’Neil said
anyone looking to book a site
for a major weekend should
do so before it’s too late.
“There are still some sites
available for Memorial Day
and the Fourth of July, but we
are filling up fast,” he said.
Lisbon’s campground is set
on the shore of the St.
Lawrence and has plenty of
water front for off shore fishing. If you prefer to fish from
a boat or want to enjoy a day
skiing the park has a boat
launch available for use as
well as several slips for docking.
New to the park this year is
the renovated bath house,
which received an assortment
of improvements including all
new toilets, stalls and sinks.
Mr. O’Neil said the much
needed improvements have
been “fantastic” and that the
facility is better than ever.
Mr. O’Neil said there are
still a few weekends open for
reservation for use of the
beach’s large pavilion which is
great for company picnic’s
family reunions or anniversary parties.
The beach is open from now
until mid October.
Tent sites cost $18 per day
for Lisbon residents and $19
per day for non-residents.
Electrical sites cost $22 per
day for residents and $24 per
day for non-residents. There is
an additional $3-per-day cost
for 50 AMP sites.
People who stay for 30 days
or more at the seasonal sites
receive a 10 percent discount.
The pavilion can be rented
for $100 per day during the
week, residents or non-residents. On the weekend, the
cost is $150 per day for residents and $250 per day for
non-residents.
The picnic area can be
rented for $50 per day for residents and $60 per day for
non-residents.
Day parking costs $3 per
day, per vehicle.

Potsdam Community Band Wants You
POTSDAM - The Potsdam
Community Band is searching
for musicians to participate in
the band this summer.
Under the baton of Potsdam
High School band director
Theresa Witmer, the repertoire will include traditional
wind band music, marches,
well-known overtures, and
popular themes from stage
and screen.
The first concert is scheduled for July 10 in the gazebo
at Ives Park during the Potsdam Summer Festival.
Additional concerts may be
scheduled if there is sufficient
interest.
Membership in the band is
open to all adults who play
traditional wind band instruments: woodwinds, brasswinds and percussion.
High school aged musicians
may participate with a recommendation from their own
music teacher. While no formal auditions will be
required, seating will be
assigned by appointed section
leaders. For additional information, you may visit the
band's
website
https://sites.google.com/site/po
tsdamcommunityband/summer-2010, email the organizers at [email protected], or contact
Ron Berry, personnel manager, at (315) 265-2883.
The first rehearsal will be
June 14 - a scant month
before the performance! Players will be expected to be
ready to play at 7 p.m..
The tradition of a community band in Potsdam is a
very long one. Most recently,
the Potsdam Community
Band, led by among others
Elmer James, was active in
the 1970s and early 1980s.
But the history goes well
back into the late 1800s.

Museum document the Potsdam Cornet Band, sometimes

called the Silver Cornet Band,
in the 1880s.
That was apparently followed by the Potsdam Military Band, which disbanded
in 1924 after 25 years of play-
ing. There are also references
to the Potsdam Fireman's
Band and to the Potsdam
Band in the early 1900s.
Newspaper archives indicate a continued musical pres-
ence in the community
through the end of World War
II. To reconvene the Potsdam
Community Band after its 25year hiatus will keep this long
tradition alive.

Silas Wright House Celebrates History
Merrickville, Ont.
CANTON - St. Lawrence
County history is summer fun
when you stop in at the St.
Lawrence County Historical
Association at the Silas
Wright House, 3 East Main
Street, Canton. Exciting
exhibits, researching the mysteries of the county’s past, and
tempting books and merchandise in the gift shop await visitors of all ages.
Global warfare in our own
backyard is the theme of the
newest exhibit Battle for the
St. Lawrence: The French &
Indian War at the St.
Association. The exhibit is
part of our year long commemoration of the 250th
anniversary of the end of the
French & Indian War.
This exciting exhibit features military and archeological artifacts from Fort La Presentation (modern day
Ogdensburg), Native trade
goods, and a variety of 18th
century American everyday
objects. Battle for the St.
Lawrence: The French &
Indian War tells the story of
the war in North America
between the French and the
English and their respective
Native American allies. Rivers
were the highways of the
1700’s and whichever nation
controlled the main waterways controlled the territory.
Thus the St. Lawrence River
was an important transportation resource for both sides.
This European grudge
match was fought around the
globe, and the decisive Battle
of the Thousand Islands in
August 1760 took place near
Ogdensburg, NY. This battle
was the last stand of the
French on the St. Lawrence
River and ultimately led to
France’s defeat and loss of
control of its northern North
American territories to
Britain. The exhibit Battle for
the St. Lawrence: The French
& Indian War is on display
throughout 2010.
Other exhibits on display
for your viewing pleasure
include The Shaping of St.
Lawrence County, Silas
Wright House Period Rooms,
Silas & Clarissa Wright Ori-
The Canal is one of the
oldest canals dating back to
the early 19th century that is
still operational with most of
its structures intact.
For the Artistic, this quaint
village is home to over 30
resident professionals; working from studios, displaying
in their galleries, and selling
their originals. You’ll be
amazed at the talents of
renowned painters, sculptors,
potters, silversmiths, leather
workers, glass blowers, metal
smiths, calligraphers, and
wood craftsmen. And if seeking out treasures of the past
excites you, then you’ll enjoy
the many antique and collectable shops awaiting your
arrival!
You’ll never go hungry in
Merrickville! Whether its
award winning menus at
world-renowned restaurants
or the jovial atmosphere of
old English pubs, your taste

Madrid Bluegrass Festival June 25-27
By MATTHEW CURATOLO
MADRID - Madrid will soon
be the destination for bluegrass music lovers everywhere.
Beginning on June 25 and
ending June 27, the 20th
annual Madrid Bluegrass Festival will be offering musical
guests such as Wayne Taylor
and Appaloosa from Maryland,
Acoustic Blue from Massachusetts, James Reams Bluegrass
Barnstormers from Brooklyn
and
Beartracks
from
Cadyville.
Those bluegrass performers
will join Digger Davis & Tombstone, Spare Change, Foodstamp Ramblers, The Old
Barn Boys, Pat Ashley,
Leatherwood Valley, Generation Gap and the Madrid
Gospel Group at the festival.
Les Haas, the festival’s
assistant director, said that
approximately 1,000 spectators came to Madrid to take
part in the three-day festival
last year and credits the late
Bud Rupert for engineering
the foundation of the festival’s
success.
“It was successful in the
early years because of Bud
Rupert's persistence and personality. The quality has continued under new management so people still come back.
There are lots of bluegrass
fans in the north country and
Canada,” said Mr. Haas.
Haas says that the bands
feel “at home” and enjoy the
fantastic view that the park in
Madrid has to offer.
“The bands think that the
park in Madrid is a beautiful
spot for a festival. The bandstand and park itself is right
along the Grasse River and it
is very serene and beautiful
country. They have always felt
welcome and right at home,”
Haas said.
Kerrie L. Cooper, who is in
charge of the festival’s advertising, said that people, especially bluegrass music fans,
know where Madrid is because
of the festival.
“When Bud Rupert started
the festival in 1990 very few
people knew what bluegrass
music was. It has become a
very important part of the
north country with this festi-
val and others in the area.
People know where Madrid is
now,” she said.
While the music may begin
on June 25, organizers are
offering a host of other events
for the young and old.
Some campers begin arriving for the festival on June 21
where they will be parked by
festival staff.
On June 23, the annual ice
cream social will be held at 7
p.m. sponsored by the United
Church of Madrid and features the renowned Norwood
Brass Fireman. On June 24, a
spaghetti dinner is planned,
starting at 4:30 p.m.
On June 23, June 24, and
June 25, the Madrid Library
will be sponsoring a used book
sale at the park. All proceeds
to benefit Madrid Library.
However, on June 25, it’s all
about bluegrass music. The
bands are on stage at 2:10
p.m. followed by a country
music dance in the community
building at 9 p.m. Concessions run from 5-11 p.m. that
day also.
On June 26, put your running/walking shoes at the
Madrid Library for the 14th
annual Madrid Bluegrass
Ramble which includes half
marathon and 10K runs and a
5K run/walk. Registration
begins at 7 a.m. All festival
participants wearing a full
weekend wristband join the
ramble at half price.
Back at the community
building they will be gearing
up for the annual chicken barbecue at noon. June 26 has a
full 12-hours of bluegrass
music beginning at 10 a.m.
The festival’s fireworks display will take place at 10 p.m.
The morning of June 27
provides an all-you-can-eat
breakfast starting at 8 a.m.,
followed by the tradition of
the Madrid Gospel Group at 9
a.m. A wristband is not
required for breakfast but is
required for the gospel music.
Bluegrass music continues
until 4:30 p.m. that day. In
addition to all the events
listed there are many extras
including the 9th annual chil-
dren’s fishing derby, large
playground, crafters and drawings.
Costs for a full weekend
admission is $28.
Admission for June 25 is $8.
Rough camping is $6 per
night.
Children ages 12 and under
are free if accompanied by parent or guardian.
For questions or additional
information call Mr. Haas at
(315) 322-4093 or e-mail
[email protected].
The festival Web site is

GANANOQUE, ONTARIO
The Canadian Gateway To The 1,000 Islands!
Welcome To Historic Downtown Gananoque
Gananoque located on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, was
a summer destination and place of fresh air and clean water to
First Nations people many years ago. Gan-an-ock-way was
known to be the ‘place of health’ and ‘where the water ran over the
rocks’.
Joel Stone born in 1749, founded Gananoque in 1791. In 1831,
John McDonald and his family built one of the finest homes in
Gananoque, which is now home to our Town Hall. Incorporated as
a village in 1864, and then as a Town in 1890, Gananoque’s
industry started to flourish and even then the town was also supported by a strong tourist trade. During the 1850’s Gananoque
was known as the ‘Birmingham of Canada’, referring to Birmingham, England, the industrial hub of that country.
Gananoque has flourished into a town of 5200 residents surrounded by the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands, and
visitors are welcome year round to come and experience the many
reasons to visit, live and vacation in Gananoque and the 1000
Islands.
In the heart of Eastern Ontario’s 1000 Islands resort community, historic downtown Gananoque is a welcoming, relaxed yesteryear setting. Some shops and businesses are housed in heritage
buildings that date back to the 1800s.
The 1000 Islands specialty is playing host, so come and visit the
town where nature and community combine to set the scene for a
perfect getaway. The natural landscape does its part to lure visitors from across the globe. Surrounded by beautiful lakes, vast
provincial and national parks, the unique Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve and award-winning gardens the only challenge is
to decide which one of the senses to tantalize first.
When traveling from Northern New York or Eastern Ontario
by car, Gananoque and the 1000 Islands is most easily accessed
by Highway 401 and Hwy 2. Along that route, keep an eye out for
signs noting the 1000 Islands Parkway West. Your 1000 Islands
experience begins the moment the tires hit the Parkway. This 37
kilometre route runs parallel to the St. Lawrence River, providing
fantastic views and many opportunities for rest stops and photos
along the way. It also incorporates a bicycle and walking path,
adjacent to the road. The Parkway is the most scenic route and a
beautiful drive along the shoreline. A must-see in every season.
Downtown Gananoque’s relaxed small-town ambiance is a
treat for the senses. Enjoy the welcome absence of city hustle
and bustle, browse for unique, as well as everyday items, have a
meal in any one of the fine restaurants and pubs, and take in one
of the many seasonal events.

Hammond Museum Offers Concert Series
By MATT MCALLISTER
HAMMOND - For over a
decade, the Hammond Historical Museum, located at 1A
State Highway 37, just north
of the village, has offered the
Hammond community a look
into the past.
Opened in the fall of 1998
and sponsored by the R.T.
Elethrop Historical Society,
the museum was constructed
mainly by volunteer labor
from the Hammond area. The
2000 square-foot structure,
faced with native pink sandstone, is imbedded with a War
of 1812 cannonball found on
the shore of the St. Lawrence
River.
The focal point of the
museum’s collection is an
exhibit of large wooden models of local buildings crafted in
the early 1900’s by former
life-long Hammond resident,
Rob T. Elethorp. The museum
is proud to display these
excellent replicas of two
churches, a barn, a farmhouse, a milk plant, horses
and wagons and a farmer’s
maple syrup operation.
The museum will be open to
the public this season on June
19 and June 26 from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Beginning in July,
the museum will be open
Wednesdays from 2 to 4 p.m.
and Saturdays from 10 a.m.
until 4 p.m. Other times can
be arranged by calling
museum President Edwin C.
Hadlock at 324-5517.
Wednesday night concerts
will be back, according to
museum Secretary Joan V.
Hadlock, with all events to be
held at the museum barn,
except the first, Dan Hammond and the Steel Drums,
which will be held at the
Hammond Fire Hall on July
14 at 7 p.m.
“They’re nice evenings to be
outside with the performers
up on the front of the barn,”
Mrs. Hadlock said, noting that
Mr. Hammond’s group drew
so much attention last year
that the museum had to move
the event this year to the fire
hall.
Other concerts and events
include:
• July 21 at 2 p.m. - Rick
West and his Birds of Prey
• July 28 at 7 p.m. - Golde-
naires Barbershop Chorus
• Aug. 4 at 2 p.m. - Magician Ron Cain
• Aug. 11 at 7 p.m. McAdams Mucical Group
• Aug. 18 - Lighthouse
Band (contemporary Christian music)
• Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. - David
Shephard
(inspirational
music)
All events will be held rain
or shine, either inside the
barn or outside on the lawn.
Please bring your own lawn
chairs. Refreshments will be
on sale from the fireman’s
auxiliary, and everyone is
invited to attend.
In August, the weekly children’s programs will be held,
which traditionally involve
hands-on activities.
The annual Fiddlers’ Fling
will be held Sept. 19, from 1 to
5 p.m. at the fire hall. Black
River Valley Fiddlers will provide music for round and
square dancing, and refreshments and a food sale will
also be available.
Museum calendars for 2010
are currently on sale at the
Hammond Town Hall and the
museum for $7 each. Copies of
the Richard Dietrich book, “A
Geological History of Hammond Township,” are also for
sale at the museum ($14). Mr.
Dietrich, according to Mrs.
Hadlock, is a Hammond
native and a retired geology
professor from the University
of Michigan.
Historical Society meetings
are held at 2 p.m. on the last
Thursday of each month in the
museum community room.
Everyone is invited to attend
these meetings, as the group is
always looking for ideas for
programs and exhibits. If anyone is looking to become a
member of the group, please
call Mr. Hadlock at 324-5517
for more information.

by Highway 401 and Hwy 2. Along that route, keep an eye out for
signs noting the 1000 Islands Parkway West. Your 1000 Islands
experience begins the moment the tires hit the Parkway. This 37
kilometre route runs parallel to the St. Lawrence River, providing
fantastic views and many opportunities for rest stops and photos
along the way. It also incorporates a bicycle and walking path,
adjacent to the road. The Parkway is the most scenic route and a
beautiful drive along the shoreline. A must-see in every season.
Downtown Gananoque’s relaxed small-town ambiance is a
treat for the senses. Enjoy the welcome absence of city hustle
and bustle, browse for unique, as well as everyday items, have a
meal in any one of the fine restaurants and pubs, and take in one
of the many seasonal events.

Hammond Museum Offers Concert Series
By MATT MCALLISTER
HAMMOND - For over a
decade, the Hammond Historical Museum, located at 1A
State Highway 37, just north
of the village, has offered the
Hammond community a look
into the past.
Opened in the fall of 1998
and sponsored by the R.T.
Elethrop Historical Society,
the museum was constructed
mainly by volunteer labor
from the Hammond area. The
2000 square-foot structure,
faced with native pink sandstone, is imbedded with a War
of 1812 cannonball found on
the shore of the St. Lawrence
River.
The focal point of the
museum’s collection is an
exhibit of large wooden models of local buildings crafted in
the early 1900’s by former
life-long Hammond resident,
Rob T. Elethorp. The museum
is proud to display these
excellent replicas of two
churches, a barn, a farmhouse, a milk plant, horses
and wagons and a farmer’s
maple syrup operation.
The museum will be open to
the public this season on June
19 and June 26 from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Beginning in July,
the museum will be open
Wednesdays from 2 to 4 p.m.
and Saturdays from 10 a.m.
until 4 p.m. Other times can
be arranged by calling
museum President Edwin C.
Hadlock at 324-5517.
Wednesday night concerts
will be back, according to
museum Secretary Joan V.
Hadlock, with all events to be
held at the museum barn,
except the first, Dan Hammond and the Steel Drums,
which will be held at the
Hammond Fire Hall on July
14 at 7 p.m.
“They’re nice evenings to be
outside with the performers
up on the front of the barn,”
Mrs. Hadlock said, noting that
Mr. Hammond’s group drew
so much attention last year
that the museum had to move
the event this year to the fire
hall.
Other concerts and events
include:
• July 21 at 2 p.m. - Rick
West and his Birds of Prey
• July 28 at 7 p.m. - Golde-
naires Barbershop Chorus
• Aug. 4 at 2 p.m. - Magician Ron Cain
• Aug. 11 at 7 p.m. McAdams Mucical Group
• Aug. 18 - Lighthouse
Band (contemporary Christian music)
• Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. - David
Shephard
(inspirational
music)
All events will be held rain
or shine, either inside the
barn or outside on the lawn.
Please bring your own lawn
chairs. Refreshments will be
on sale from the fireman’s
auxiliary, and everyone is
invited to attend.
In August, the weekly children’s programs will be held,
which traditionally involve
hands-on activities.
The annual Fiddlers’ Fling
will be held Sept. 19, from 1 to
5 p.m. at the fire hall. Black
River Valley Fiddlers will provide music for round and
square dancing, and refreshments and a food sale will
also be available.
Museum calendars for 2010
are currently on sale at the
Hammond Town Hall and the
museum for $7 each. Copies of
the Richard Dietrich book, “A
Geological History of Hammond Township,” are also for
sale at the museum ($14). Mr.
Dietrich, according to Mrs.
Hadlock, is a Hammond
native and a retired geology
professor from the University
of Michigan.
Historical Society meetings
are held at 2 p.m. on the last
Thursday of each month in the
museum community room.
Everyone is invited to attend
these meetings, as the group is
always looking for ideas for
programs and exhibits. If anyone is looking to become a
member of the group, please
call Mr. Hadlock at 324-5517

casual and lively or quietly gracious, with menus varied and
tempting, for an old-world charm
and hospitality that can’t be
matched. Delicious aromas from
the bakery promise mouthwatering goodies and fresh
bread daily. Small, charming
boutiques, specialty teas, toy

locals.
As always a shopper’s delight
is the search for unique and distinctive fashions, irresistible
footwear, accessories and jewelry.
The only hard part is choosing a
favorite. Spend some time
browsing for original hand-made

Madrid Bluegrass Festival June 25-27
By MATTHEW CURATOLO
MADRID - Madrid will soon
be the destination for bluegrass music lovers everywhere.
Beginning on June 25 and
ending June 27, the 20th
annual Madrid Bluegrass Festival will be offering musical
guests such as Wayne Taylor
and Appaloosa from Maryland,
Acoustic Blue from Massachusetts, James Reams Bluegrass
Barnstormers from Brooklyn
and
Beartracks
from
Cadyville.
Those bluegrass performers
will join Digger Davis & Tombstone, Spare Change, Foodstamp Ramblers, The Old
Barn Boys, Pat Ashley,
Leatherwood Valley, Generation Gap and the Madrid
Gospel Group at the festival.
Les Haas, the festival’s
assistant director, said that
approximately 1,000 spectators came to Madrid to take
part in the three-day festival
last year and credits the late
Bud Rupert for engineering
the foundation of the festival’s
success.
“It was successful in the
early years because of Bud
Rupert's persistence and personality. The quality has continued under new management so people still come back.
There are lots of bluegrass
fans in the north country and
Canada,” said Mr. Haas.
Haas says that the bands
feel “at home” and enjoy the
fantastic view that the park in
Madrid has to offer.
“The bands think that the
park in Madrid is a beautiful
spot for a festival. The bandstand and park itself is right
along the Grasse River and it
is very serene and beautiful
country. They have always felt
welcome and right at home,”
Haas said.
Kerrie L. Cooper, who is in
charge of the festival’s advertising, said that people, especially bluegrass music fans,
know where Madrid is because
of the festival.
“When Bud Rupert started
the festival in 1990 very few
people knew what bluegrass
music was. It has become a
very important part of the
north country with this festi-
val and others in the area.
People know where Madrid is
now,” she said.
While the music may begin
on June 25, organizers are
offering a host of other events
for the young and old.
Some campers begin arriving for the festival on June 21
where they will be parked by
festival staff.
On June 23, the annual ice
cream social will be held at 7
p.m. sponsored by the United
Church of Madrid and features the renowned Norwood
Brass Fireman. On June 24, a
spaghetti dinner is planned,
starting at 4:30 p.m.
On June 23, June 24, and
June 25, the Madrid Library
will be sponsoring a used book
sale at the park. All proceeds
to benefit Madrid Library.
However, on June 25, it’s all
about bluegrass music. The
bands are on stage at 2:10
p.m. followed by a country
music dance in the community
building at 9 p.m. Concessions run from 5-11 p.m. that
day also.
On June 26, put your running/walking shoes at the
Madrid Library for the 14th
annual Madrid Bluegrass
Ramble which includes half
marathon and 10K runs and a
5K run/walk. Registration
begins at 7 a.m. All festival
participants wearing a full
weekend wristband join the
ramble at half price.
Back at the community
building they will be gearing
up for the annual chicken barbecue at noon. June 26 has a
full 12-hours of bluegrass
music beginning at 10 a.m.
The festival’s fireworks display will take place at 10 p.m.
The morning of June 27
provides an all-you-can-eat
breakfast starting at 8 a.m.,
followed by the tradition of
the Madrid Gospel Group at 9
a.m. A wristband is not
required for breakfast but is
required for the gospel music.
Bluegrass music continues
until 4:30 p.m. that day. In
addition to all the events
listed there are many extras
including the 9th annual chil-
dren’s fishing derby, large
playground, crafters and drawings.
Costs for a full weekend
admission is $28.
Rough camping is $6 per
night.
Children ages 12 and under
are free if accompanied by parent or guardian.
For questions or additional
information call Mr. Haas at
(315) 322-4093 or e-mail
[email protected].
The festival Web site is

Silas Wright House Celebrates History
Merrickville, Ont.
CANTON - St. Lawrence
County history is summer fun
when you stop in at the St.
Wright House, 3 East Main
Street, Canton. Exciting
exhibits, researching the mysteries of the county’s past, and
tempting books and merchandise in the gift shop await visitors of all ages.
Global warfare in our own
backyard is the theme of the
newest exhibit Battle for the
St. Lawrence: The French &
Indian War at the St.
Association. The exhibit is
part of our year long commemoration of the 250th
anniversary of the end of the
French & Indian War.
This exciting exhibit features military and archeological artifacts from Fort La Presentation (modern day
Ogdensburg), Native trade
goods, and a variety of 18th
century American everyday
objects. Battle for the St.
Lawrence: The French &
Indian War tells the story of
the war in North America
between the French and the
English and their respective
Native American allies. Rivers
were the highways of the
1700’s and whichever nation
controlled the main waterways controlled the territory.
Thus the St. Lawrence River
was an important transportation resource for both sides.
This European grudge
match was fought around the
globe, and the decisive Battle
of the Thousand Islands in
August 1760 took place near
Ogdensburg, NY. This battle
was the last stand of the
French on the St. Lawrence
River and ultimately led to
France’s defeat and loss of
control of its northern North
American territories to
Britain. The exhibit Battle for
the St. Lawrence: The French
& Indian War is on display
throughout 2010.
Other exhibits on display
for your viewing pleasure
include The Shaping of St.
Lawrence County, Silas
Wright House Period Rooms,
Silas & Clarissa Wright Ori-
The Canal is one of the
oldest canals dating back to
the early 19th century that is
still operational with most of
its structures intact.
For the Artistic, this quaint
village is home to over 30
resident professionals; working from studios, displaying
in their galleries, and selling
their originals. You’ll be
amazed at the talents of
renowned painters, sculptors,
potters, silversmiths, leather
workers, glass blowers, metal
smiths, calligraphers, and
wood craftsmen. And if seeking out treasures of the past
excites you, then you’ll enjoy
the many antique and collectable shops awaiting your
arrival!
You’ll never go hungry in
Merrickville! Whether its
award winning menus at
world-renowned restaurants
or the jovial atmosphere of
old English pubs, your taste
buds will be satisfied, again
and again. Fresh tarts from
the bakery, gourmet pizzas to
go, highly recognized wines,
micro brewed beers, picnic
baskets for lovers-whatever
your in the mood for, Merrickville has it covered. Mer-
entation exhibit, Quilts of
Remington’s Day 1860-1910,
and the Children’s Attic.
Researchers who visit the
St. Lawrence County Historical Association’s archives and
research room this summer
can amuse themselves and
learn at the same time by
perusing the archives collection, which includes extensive
genealogy information; old
maps and directories; town
and village histories; cemetery records; educational,
industrial, and agricultural
history; house histories; photographs of people, businesses, and buildings; and
many postcards. Wireless
access and a computer for
public use expand research
possibilities by connecting
researchers to other libraries,
newspapers, and online
resources.
Collections in the Research
Room include:
--The Silas Wright Collection. Wright (1795-1847) lived
in the house that now is home
to the St. Lawrence County
Historical Association. Wright
was a figure of national
prominence who served as
U.S. Senator, Governor of New
York, and in a variety of other
state and local posts. The
Silas Wright Collection
includes personal and profes-
sional letters from Wright, as
well as his books from when
he served in the New York
State Senate.
-- The J. Henry Rushton
Collection. Rushton was a
renowned canoe and boat
builder whose business was
located in Canton in the late
19th and early 20th century.
The Rushton materials
include numerous photographs, artifacts, catalogs, correspondence and original documents pertaining to Rushton
and his craft.
-- Macomb Purchase
Papers. The original mostly
18th century legal documents
between Alexander Macomb
and the state of New York for
the purchase of land that
became St. Lawrence County.
The historical association’s
Gift Shop includes numerous
books on local history that are
perfect for your summer reading list. Titles include Waterways of War: The Struggle for
Empire 1754-1763 by Steve
Benson and Ron Toelke; Stepping Back in Time: Tales from

Visit Lisbon Beach, Campground On Rt. 37
By JIMMY LAWTON
LISBON - If you’re searching for a majestic retreat on
the St. Lawrence River look
no further than Lisbon Beach
and Campground.
The town owned park features more than 80 camp sites
with the majority available
for electric hook ups. A walking trail runs around the
parameter of the campground
for those looking for a tranquil workout. If you want to
take a dip in the river, a sand
filled beach complete with life
guard is open for the day light
hours.
The affordable, and well
maintained facility also
houses a recreational area
complete with fence enclosed
basketball and tennis courts.
A volley ball court is also open
for public use.
With the seasonably warm
weather this spring and the
closure of some area state
parks, camp sites are filling
up quick. Camp Ground
Director Mike O’Neil said
anyone looking to book a site
for a major weekend should
do so before it’s too late.
“There are still some sites
available for Memorial Day
and the Fourth of July, but we
are filling up fast,” he said.

Potsdam Community Band Wants You
POTSDAM - The Potsdam
Community Band is searching
for musicians to participate in
the band this summer.
Under the baton of Potsdam
High School band director
Theresa Witmer, the repertoire will include traditional
wind band music, marches,
well-known overtures, and
popular themes from stage
and screen.
The first concert is scheduled for July 10 in the gazebo
at Ives Park during the Potsdam Summer Festival.
Additional concerts may be
scheduled if there is sufficient
interest.
Membership in the band is
open to all adults who play
traditional wind band instruments: woodwinds, brasswinds and percussion.
High school aged musicians
may participate with a recommendation from their own
music teacher. While no formal auditions will be
required, seating will be
assigned by appointed section
leaders. For additional information, you may visit the
band's
website
https://sites.google.com/site/po
tsdamcommunityband/summer-2010, email the organizers at [email protected], or contact
Ron Berry, personnel manager, at (315) 265-2883.
The first rehearsal will be
June 14 - a scant month
before the performance! Players will be expected to be
ready to play at 7 p.m..
The tradition of a community band in Potsdam is a
very long one. Most recently,
the Potsdam Community
Band, led by among others
Elmer James, was active in
the 1970s and early 1980s.
But the history goes well
back into the late 1800s.

Museum document the Potsdam Cornet Band, sometimes

called the Silver Cornet Band,
in the 1880s.
That was apparently followed by the Potsdam Military Band, which disbanded
in 1924 after 25 years of play-
ing. There are also references
to the Potsdam Fireman's
Band and to the Potsdam
Band in the early 1900s.
Newspaper archives indicate a continued musical pres-
ence in the community
through the end of World War
II. To reconvene the Potsdam
Community Band after its 25year hiatus will keep this long
tradition alive.

Visit Ogdensburg’s Green Market
By BRIAN KIDWELL
The Ogdensburg GreenMarket is offering a variety of local
vendors selling local handmade crafts, home-grown produce and home-baked goods
overlooking the shore of the
majestic St. Lawrence River.
The GreenMarket, which is
set up along the Riverside
Drive side of Library Park,
runs twice weekly until Oct. 9 Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. and Wednesdays from 2 to
6 p.m.
The Ogdensburg GreenMarket is in its fourth season of
selling local produce, crafts,
flowers and other homegrown
and handmade specialties.
Greater Ogdensburg Chamber of Commerce Executive
Director Sandra M. Porter predicts visitors will be surprised
by how many vendors are selling at the GreenMarket.
“I’m looking forward to a
very good year for the market
since we are going to be open
for two days a week for the
entire season,” she said. “If you
remember, we didn’t start our
Wednesday market until after
Labor Day last year.”
GreenMarket, according to
Mrs. Porter, is part of what
was once a trend and is now a
vital, nationwide commercial
and economic establishment.
And it’s good for you.
“Farm markets across the
nation are gaining in popularity and being recognized as the
best source for fresh, nutritious local foods and plants,”
Mrs. Porter said. “Farm markets are a boon to the local
economies, too.”
Some of the vendors slated
to be at the GreenMarket
include:
•Brian and Debbie Hicks;
chicken, eggs, herbs and spring
vegetables.
•Brian and Ann Bennett;
organic vegetables, eggs, herbs
and bedding plants.
•Cliff and Marie Cook; pork,
sausage, lamb and vegetables.
•Joe Metz; organic vegetables and herbs.
•Linda Kingston; fruits and
vegetables.
•Kathy Gordon; hanging
baskets and bedding plants.
•Deb and Malcolm Middlemiss; baked goods and crafts.
•Kevin and Traci Ellison;
vegetables, crochet scarves
and totes.
•Claudia Fantone; vegetables, fruits and cut flowers.
•Judi Questel: biscotti,
cookies, bread, pies and granola.
•Ashley Havens; gemstone
jewelry.
•Candy Brown; garden
stepping stones.
•River Myst and Thousand

marketing grant from Pepsi
corporate to purchase five
vinyl three-foot-by-four-foot

farmer’s market.
The banners have been

Junior Carp Tournament Aug. 19-21st
By MATTHEW CURATOLO
CANTON - At the St.
Junior Carp Tournament, the
carp the youth are chasing
are given the royal treatment.
There are strict rules in
place when landing a fish so
they are not harmed. Trained
marshals will pick the carp
up and weigh them.
A tag will be placed on a
fin and it will them be
cleaned up before its release
back into the St. Lawrence.
There’s one rule that is not
strictly enforced.
“Kissing them is optional,”
said Patricia L. McKeown,
executive director of the St.
of Commerce, referring to a
European custom that’s part
of the spirit of carp fishing.
The 8th annual St.
Junior Carp Tournament,
sponsored by the St.
of Commerce, will be held
Aug. 19-21.
The annual competition
takes place on a 36-mile
stretch along the St.
Lawrence, beginning in
Ogdensburg and ending at
Hawkins Point in Massena.
The day before, on Aug. 19,
the Mort Backus and Son
Carp School will be held at
the Madrid-Waddington
School, and will help newcomers understand the ins
and outs of carp fishing plus
give them an overview of
water safety.
It’s a tournament started
all those years ago with the
help of a young movie star,
Tom Felton, who is known to
many as Draco Malfoy in the
successful Harry Potter
movies. While Mr. Felton has
grown up himself, his frequent trips to the tournament in its younger stages
are no longer.
However, the success of the
tournament is sustaining it,
according to Ms. McKeown.
“Tom Felton had an interest in carp fishing and he
really helped us get it going.
The tournament has legs of
its own now and carries on
without movie stars,” said
Ms. McKeown.
It also helps to have dramatic finishes.
That’s what happened last
year when Dale Vallance, of
Madrid, reeled in a carp just
as the two-day St. Lawrence
International Junior Carp
Tournament came to a close.
That catch made him the
2009 grand-prize winner of
$2,500.
Hooking a carp, enjoying
the fight and releasing it to
be caught again, with or with-
out a kiss and its other rituals, is what makes the tournament, and carp-fishing in
general, extremely popular.
“It’s really quite dramatic,”
said Ms. McKeown.
This year, the youth tourney will have one of its own
as its grand marshal in Jake
Losey who has fished in it
since it started.
Mr. Losey, a 2007 graduate
of Massena High School,
holds an associate’s degree in
Criminal Justice from North
Country Community College,
graduating in May 2009.
During the tournament, Mr.
Losey will travel the carp
fishing route along Route 37,
assisting participants and
volunteer marshals alike.
It’s his job to resolve any
disputes that may arise and
interpret the rules, according
to Ms. McKeown, as well as to
help present trophies to the
winners at the final ceremonies on Aug. 21 at MadridWaddington Central School.
The St. Lawrence International Junior Carp Tourna-
ment is open to young people
age 11-18 and their parents.
Ms. McKeown said that
between 30-35 participants
have already signed up to fish
in this year’s tournament.
Registration forms and
information can be found on
the St. Lawrence County
Chamber of Commerce Web
site at www.NorthCountryGuide.com, or by calling
the chamber at 877-228-7810.
The cost is $100 per person
until July 15; after that the
price is $125.

Prescott Offers Shakespeare Festival
PRESCOTT - Bringing a
selection of familiar faces and
new talent to Prescott each
summer is one of the hallmarks of the St. Lawrence
Shakespeare Festival and
excitement is building as the
Festival recently announced
its biggest ever cast for 2010.
Among the 23 strong
ensemble, audiences will see
Festival favourites Michael
MacDonald, Warren Bain,
Brent Buchanan and Alix
Sideris. Also making a return
will be Kris Joseph playing
the title role in Macbeth.
When asked how he felt about
playing such an iconic role, he
said he was: “Flattered. And
terrified. But mostly terrified.
It is impossible to take on a
role like this without having
it compared to every great
actor's interpretation of the
part. But I'm excited to
explore the role with this company.”
Newcomers to the Festival
include the award-winning
Ottawa actor Pierre Brault,
recent National Theatre
School grad Ron Klappholz
making his professional debut
and local celebrity Mo Bock,
who will be playing the lead
role of Falstaff in the brand
new comedy Trouble on Dibble Street. Rounding out the
cast is a selection of actors
from across the country,
including Vancouver, Toronto,
Ottawa and Montreal.
Local audiences might also
recognize some of the younger
members of the company as
the Festival is utilizing the
talents of children from the
local area. Cliff Bauder, Jill
Foster, Jacob Isaac, Kayla
Maggio and Logan Whyte will
all be playing roles in one of
the two mainstage shows.

MASSENA - The arrival of
the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce’s Heritage
Festival heralds the beginning
of a number of other activities
taking place throughout the
summer in Massena.
This year, those activities
include the return of the
Fouth annual Robert Thompson Blues Bash as well as the
first-ever staging of a Bassmasters tournament.
The Blues Bash, which hits
the stage July 4 at the
Massena Springs Park bandshell, features some new and
returning groups including
Smokin’ Aces, Tom Townsley
Band, Bernie Clark and the
Rhythm Sharks, Dirty Blues
Project and Conrad Story
Blues Band.
They’ll provide a day of
music during the concert,
which is named after the
Massena man who had originally suggested the concept of
a Blues concert to chamber
officials.
“The bands are all set,”
chamber Executive Director
Michael J. Gleason said.
Massena will play host to a
new event this summer, the
Bassmasters tournament
which takes place June 26 at
the Massena Intake.
Unfortunately, Mr. Gleason
said, the tournament also
coincides with Massena Central High School’s graduation
ceremonies.
He said they’re anticipating
about 50 anglers will take
part.
There will be approximately 25 teams with two
anglers to each boat.
An organizational meeting
for participants will be held
from 3:30 to 7 p.m. June 25 at
the Massena Country Club,

awarded a $2,100 grant to
help fund the event. The

NYS Council of the Arts
Decentralization Grant
which is administered by the
St. Lawrence County Arts
Council.
The town of Waddington
supported the application by
acting as the conduit organization. For more information

morning start on the fishing,
around 5 a.m. the next day at
the Massena Intake.
The one-day tournament
will wrap up around 3 or 4
p.m., according to Mr. Gleason, who said some fishermen
might opt to come to Massena
earlier so they can get used to
fishing the St. Lawrence
River.

host fee they had to pay to
hold the tournament in
Massena. But Mr. Gleason
said town officials paid that
fee with gaming compact
money.
“The economic impact,
that’s it,” he said of the benefit to holding the tournament in Massena.

Enjoy Norwood’s Concert Series
NORWOOD - The Norwood
Village Green Concert Series

The series is supported with
public moneys by the New

a public agency, the St.

The private sector accounts for
its main source of income via
foundations, corporations, civic
associations and individuals.
In 2010 the diverse categories of performances include
Chilean, Celtic, Big Band jazz,
world music, family programming, acoustic, rock, vocal,
symphonic styles and street
music. Most of the music performed is the creation of the
performer.

Siebel All Star Big Band for
an evening of big band jazz.
World Music: Chilean guitar
styles along with Australian,
British Isles, Canadian and

Come To Mare’s Wares Art Festival July 1st
MORRISTOWNN - We are
truly rockin’ this year folks,
and would really love it if you
would join us for the day on
July 1 - yes, it's a weekday. It's
Canada Day .. and apparently
everything closes north of the
border on July 1, so those
Canadians with wanderlust
and a taste for something
more exciting than hanging
out in the backyard head
south. It's also the week before
our own Independence Day
celebration, and a whole lot of
St. Lawrence River summer
residents head up early for the
holiday weekend. And from all
the noise we got from yearround residents last year who
were working all day and
couldn't come, it appears we
have a lot of local support as
well - so we're extending the
hours this year to allow their
participation.
Our intention with this
event is to promote creativity
and talent in ALL its forms scheduled to be available are
fabulous handcrafted products,
authors, musicians, organic
farmers, licensed body workers
and body care, story tellers,
wineries, and more.
Demonstrations and activities will be going on throughout the day including:
Live music all day, including
our headliner, Paul Baldwin
Blues Band. After years of
performing throughout the
U.S. with WC Handy award
nominee Chris Beard, Paul
Baldwin has decided to step
out with his own band the
“Paul Baldwin Blues Band.
From supporting national acts
such as BB King, Buddy Guy,
Tommy Castro, Debra Coleman, and Susan Tedeschi to
headlining, Paul Baldwin has
made the next transition in a
promising musical career. To
create his band Paul knew he
needed the right compliment
of musicians that would give
him the sound he heard in his
head. After months of searching, he found the right combination
in
Ben
Bach
(keys/vocals), Tommy Gunn
(bass/vocals), and Donnie
Bruce (drums). Playing a “no
holds barred, take no prisoners” type of Blues, the Paul
Baldwin Blues Band is powerful, melodic and soulful. The
music pulls you in and captures your senses. But don’t
worry, they’ll” give them back
at the end of the day…..maybe.
Raku firing and Pottery-onthe-wheel demonstrations
Paula Towne of Trinkets in
Gouverneur will be producing,
for a very reasonable $20, onthe-spot portraits for anyone
willing to sit for 20 minutes.
Paula has created 3,000 or
more of her “guaranteed” likenesses over the 12 years she’s
been doing the pencil portraits
(and she does more elaborate
oil commissions as well) .. and
no one has gone away dissatisfied yet!
Gerald “Gerry” Smith, lifelong professional birdwatcher
and president of the Onondaga
Audubon Society, will be signing and selling copies of his
new “Birding the Great Lakes
Seaway Trail” field guide, a
full-color compendium of the
birds and the byway habitats
where you find rare and common species of songbirds, raptors and waterfowl along the
St. Lawrence River, Lake
Ontario, Niagara River and
Lake Erie in NY and PA.
Fort La Presentation will be
present, in costume, promoting
their big July 16-18 Founder’s
Day celebration and re-enactment
Marty Snye of The River
Forge will be demonstrating
his art
Connie B. Burke a.k.a Rya,
will be providing psychic con-
sultations. Rya is a fifth generation psychic who has been
giving readings professionally
for over fifteen years. The type
of psychic readings that Rya
offers is known as psychometry ; a psychic skill in which
information about people (living or dead), places and events
is obtained by handling objects
associated with them. Once
you place your belonging in
Rya's hand she will take a
brief moment in meditation to
readjust herself to your particular energy or that of the individual that you are seeking
contact with, this will take a
few moments. Rya's eyes will
remain closed through out
your session, this helps her to
retain her altered state. Rya
has worked numerous psychic
fairs throughout the New York
area and has made several
guest appearances on both television and radio. In addition
she has worked numerous corporate parties over the years
for companies such as Oneida
Limited, Chrysler in addition
various law firms have utilized
her services for their events.
Also Rya has been contracted
to read at events such as an
Anne Rice booking signing,
"The Night of Knights" New
Years Eve party held at the
casino. A popular lecturer, Rya
has presented workshops teaching people various techniques of
channeling and divination

Mark Valley Making Guest Appearance
Colonial Battle, Trade Fair July 16-18
Action, adventure, heroism The stuff of a Hollywood
blockbuster were the elements of the 1760 Battle of
the Thousand Islands when
the fate of the French Empire
in North America was decided
on the St. Lawrence River.
July 16-18 Ogdensburg’s
Lighthouse Point hosts New
York State’s final 250th
anniversary commemoration
of the French and Indian War
honoring Fort La Présentation, Fort Lévis and the Battle
of the Thousand Islands.
The re-enactment and colonial trade fair sponsored by
the Fort La Présentation
Association promises an
inside look at our 18thcentury
history.
The boring pages of schoolbook history will turn to real
life: Armed soldiers uniformed
in red and blue; military
encampments under white
canvas; historical wooden
boats lining the shore; more
than 35 period trades and
merchants, artists, artisans,
dancers, musicians; and daily
battles on land and water.
Each afternoon, visitors will
witness the two-part Battle of
the Thousand Islands unfold;
The August 16, 1760 capture
of the French 10-gun corvette
L’Outaouaise by armed
British row galleys and the
August 23-25, 1760 siege of
Fort Lévis.
Special guests from the
United Kingdom, France,
Canada and the United
States to join the celebration
of our shared history; including military attachés posted
to embassies in Ottawa, politicians from Ontario and New
York, and one distinctly special guest.
Ogdensburg native Mark
Valley, Iraq War veteran and
Hollywood actor, plans to join
the ranks of the French military re-enactors.
The French mission of La
Présentation founded in 1749
was Ogdensburg’s first settlement, almost 50 years before
the arrival of American settlers. Until 1759, the countryside on both shores of the St.
Lawrence was home to more
than 3,000 Iroquois and their
allies loyal to France. Warriors from La Présentation
fought alongside the French
against the English in the
Mohawk and Champlain Valleys.
By 1758, the English gained
the upper hand and construc-

tion of Fort Lévis began on Île
Royal (Chimney Island) three
miles down river from La
Présentation. In March 1759,
the wooden palisades of La
Présentation were abandoned
and the troops went to Fort
Lévis to complete the works
in hope the stronger fort
would stop the English
advance. An 11,000-strong
Anglo-American
army
descended the river in August
1760; only 350 French soldiers
and Canadian militia stood
between them and Montreal.
The Battle of the Thousand
Islands was about to begin.

Gateway Museum Offers Concert Series
By MATT MCALLISTER
MORRISTOWN - Two full
months-worth of events are
being coordinated by the
Gateway Museum for this
year’s Morristown Summer
Concert Series. The museum
has scheduled its annual
opening on June 5 and 6,
with a tribute to local veterans planned from 2 to 5 p.m.
each day. The annual garage
sales will be held at the
museum on June 12. Contributions are welcome, except
clothing.
“We’re attempting to
spread the excitement
through the summer, instead
of putting it all on one day,
as we did a few years back,”
said Chris Coffin.
According to Mr. Coffin, a
quilt show to be held from
Aug. 6 to Aug. 8 at the
museum is drawing quite a
bit of interest.
Quilts from Morristown
and neighboring communities will be featured. Over
seventy quilts were on display at last summer’s show.
“Many of the quilts in the
show will be family heirlooms made by ancestors of
residents in the community,”
Mr. Coffin said. “Others will
be new quilts made by con-
temporary crafters. The quilt
show committee is asking for
entries for this year’s show
which were not displayed in
the previous quilt show at
the museum.”
Anyone interested in submitting a quilt or getting
more information is invited
to email [email protected] or phone
(315) 375-4467. The committee organizing the quilt show
is chaired by Patty Reagen.
Other members are Ruth
Bogardus, Nancy Russell,
Pat Tocatlian, and Sue Wilson.

(with fiddle champ Floyd
Sherman), A Fine Line (Jazz
due Dan Gagliardi and Bill

Band Bios:
• Tas Cru (aka Rick Bates) Aug. 6:
Original songwriting from
this edgy bluesman has
earned Tas Cru the moniker,
"the master of the triple
entendre." His songs are
eccentric, quirky, and sometimes boldly irreverent with a
repertoire that is equal parts
power, passion, and pure
hilarity.
This combined with his
soulful voice and skillful
guitarwork has earned him
his reputation as a bonafide
"triple threat."
• Senior Moment - July 23
and Aug. 13: Foot stomping
fiddle tunes and old time
country featuring a state fiddle champion from the ‘70's
Floyd Sherman; singer and
guitarist Steve Oshier, a well
known artist from the north
country that spent some time
in Virginia playing and
singing his heart out; and,
Ray Gardner on the stand up
bass (of the Lime Hollow Boys
for the last 8 years).
• A Fine Line - July 2 and
July 30: Jazz from the Great
American Songbook since
2004. From their very first gig
Bill Vitek and Dan Gagliardi
have worked to create music
that celebrates the duo.
Piano and bass are equal
players in this jazz ensemble,
and there is plenty of room for
both players to express themselves, and for special guests
too, some of the very best jazz
musicians in the North Country. The music moves easily
from hard driving swing to
open ballads. The players are
always listening and responding to each other and to the
audience.
• Northbound - June 25,
July 9 and Aug. 27: Northbound performs an eclectic
mix of folk, acoustic, and classic rock. Their influences
draw from the great singersongwriters of the 50’s
through today; names like
James Taylor, Paul Simon,
John Fogerty, The Beatles.
They have been performing
in the North Country together
for years and always bring an
exciting blend of music that
spans a wide variety of musical tastes.
• The Hazel Pearl Band June 18, July 16 and Aug. 20:
Heavy on good vibes and a
groovin’ sound, The Hazel
Pearl Band plays a wide variety of standards for all the
right reasons.
HPB is Michael Budler on
lead electric guitar, Dave Nelson on bass and Rev. Mike
Catanzaro on acoustic guitar
and vocals.

only the number of crafters
attending, but also the number of individuals looking for
that special gift for a loved
one. The festival’s craft show
gives local crafters the opportunity to sell their hand made
wares that consist of wooden
benches, blankets, jewelry,
baby clothes, and other novelty items. Every year there is
always something new.
The number of crafters and
individuals attending is
expected to increase because
this year less than 20 yards
away the Fort LaPresentation
Association will be hosting:
Founders Day 2010 - 250th
Anniversary Commemoration
of the French and Indian War.
Founders Day 2010 is expecting to draw between 5,000 to
10,000 people for this one
time event.
At the present time the
Seaway Festival has between
40 to 50 crafters attending
with room for more. Set up
time will be July 16 between
4-7 p.m. It’s on a first come
basis. Spaces are 10x10 with
some having power. Please
bring your own chairs, tables
can be provided for $5 per
table. Each crafter must have
a NYS Tax License and will
be responsible for collection of
sales tax.
Please contact Michele Morrison at 315-393-9274 with
any questions and to reserve
a space or spaces. Spots are
going fast, so don’t wait to the
last minute.

Enter A Float In Festival Parade July 24
The Ogdensburg International Seaway Festival’s 50th
Annual Parade committee is
encouraging commmunity
groups, civic groups and businesses to support this year’s
parade by Mentering a float in
this summer’s parade.
The Seaway Festival’s 50th
anniversary celebration is
only five weeks away and only
a few floats have signed up.
Float chair Kevin McDonough
is calling on local businesses,
fraternal organizations, veterans groups, families, friends
and non-profits to join in the
celebration.
“We want more people to get
involved. It’s big milestone for
us,” he said.
Mr. McDonough says it’s a
great way to advertise civic
clubs, businesses, organizations or even neighborhoods.
Neighbors in Heuvelton,
Lisbon, Waddington, Morristown and Hammond are all
invited to take part in the Seaway Festival’s 50th year celebration, according to Festival
Chair Chris Cole.
While participants are
awarded prizes, they also
achieve a great accomplishment that comes from planning, constructing and presenting a float in the North
Country largest parade.
“It’s all about the enjoyment
of people working on floats
and people seeing floats.
That’s what makes the Seaway Festival week so great,
but we need more people to
expand the number of floats,”
said Mr. McDonough.
The parade is July 24.
The parade starts at 11 a.m.
Mr. McDonough said he participated in the first Seaway
Festival Parade in 1960 and
has been actively involved as
an organizer since the mid
‘70s. He said over the years
the number of floats has
waned, but he hopes the community will come forward and
go the extra mile this year for
the 50th anniversary of
Ogdensburg’s biggest event
This year's theme is "Celebrating the 50th Anniversary
of the St. Lawrence Seaway
Festival”
Floats will be judged on the
theme, concealment, color, balance and crowd appeal.
The deadline for applications is July 22.

more, all topped off by a grand
parade down Ford Street to
the St. Lawrence River, how
can a good time not be had?
