Pasquale’s in Peru, repeat customers drive growth
PERU-- Jerry Johnson is the Head Chef of Pasquale's Restaurant in Peru-- a restaurant that seems to just keep expanding. The growth makes Johnson thankful for the loyalty of his customers and the support of his co-workers."This place has expanded twice now, most recently last fall," Johnson said of the Peru restaurant, which also features a separate building to handle take-out orders. "And we've opened up another Pasquale's in Dannemora."
The second establishment is in addition to the expansions at the original location on Peru's Main Street.

Local Nature Center Combines Animals and Art at Family Event
Tucked away in the woods in Tupper Lake you’ll find a collection of living things that inhabit the wilds of the Adirondack Mountains. If you haven’t visited already, perhaps a trip to The Wild Center is in order?
“Our mission is to get people excited about the Adirondacks and what’s in their backyard,” said Kerri Ziemann, interpretive naturalist at The Wild Center.
Ziemann noted that today, many children are spending less time outdoors and more time indoors. Exploring the Wild Center allows children and their families to learn about the natural environment that surrounds them.

FitzPatrick Cancer Center to Host Workshop for Women with Cancer
According to statistics from the New York State Department of Health, for the period of 2004 to 2008, 113 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the tri-county area. More and more women are personally affected by cancer every year.
“The more you become aware of it, the more you see it,” said Stacey LaFave, social worker at the FitzPatrick Cancer Center in Plattsburgh. “Once you get tuned into it, you realize how many people have (cancer).”
Olympic Center to Welcome Harlem Globetrotters
When the jazz standard “Sweet Georgia Brown” is heard, it can mean one of two things. Either the radio dial landed on the jazz channel or the Harlem Globetrotters are coming to town. This February, residents of the tri-county area can break out the Chuck Taylor black and white sneakers and get ready for some basketball. “It’s a good family event. (The performance) is fun to watch,” said Wendy Townsley, ORDA public relations spokesperson.
For over 85 years, the Harlem Globetrotters have been performing feats of athletic ability during exhibition games to entertain people of all ages. The Globetrotters have visited 120 countries, six continents and played over 20,000 shows.

Open Family Swim Sessions
The Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department is sponsoring Open Family Swim night at the Wellness Center, at PARC at 295 New York Road. The program is currently running every Friday evening through March.
Each session will be from 7 – 9 p.m. These sessions are not only for children, but are open to persons of all ages not in diapers.
There is a charge of $2 per person for all participants. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Certified Lifeguards are on duty at all times. Participants have use of the locker rooms, but everyone using the facility is responsible for bringing their own towel and it is recommended that water shoes be worn.
Champlain Valley Winter Wine Festival Returns To Plattsburgh
In most cases, wine and transportation don’t mix. But for the Champlain Valley Winter Wine Festival this February, they make the perfect pairing.“Agritourism it’s kind of the buzz word right now,” said Kristy Kennedy, group marketing specialist for the North Country Chamber of Commerce and Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau.
With four local wineries, the Plattsburgh area is ripe for agritourism. Cashing in on that trend, the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum (CVTM) and Kids Station is hosting the annual festival to raise money to support the programs offered at the museum.

Touring the North Country by Sleigh
Sleigh bells jingle, and the cutters on the sleigh slice through miles of groomed trail on arguably the best sleigh ride in the North Country. The sleigh is pulled by a big black muscular horse named Tony, who is the equine Antonio Banderas of the Adirondacks…quiet, with a bit of a foreign accent, and absolutely gorgeous. Tony works for Sayward and Son Enterprises, the Classic Carriage division of the company, (the other branch is the farrier service) and to say he’s a hard worker is an understatement. Tony pulls sleighs with relish. They can be packed with people and the weight is nothing to him. And it’s clear he enjoys his work, pricking his ears at the harness when his owner gets him ready and trotting along the trails with energy.

Getting a “Taste of the North Country”
The Taste of the North Country Festival last month brought the atmosphere of a food and wine festival to Plattsburgh.Located at the Plattsburgh State Field House, the event featured restaurants and vendors offering a variety of samples at booths that were set up for the occasion. Tables in the center of the room featured items provided for a silent auction. When I arrived, I noticed that the Festival had drawn a cheerful crowd, with fast-moving lines forming around many of the booths, as people gathered to enjoy the samples.

Sunrise Rotary To Host Annual Winter Carnival
As the days get colder, time spent outside dwindles and many people take to hibernation. “Winter comes and we hole-up inside,” said Allison Hulbert-Bruce co-chair of the Sunrise Rotary Winter Carnival committee. “We’re not as active.”
The group hosts an annual carnival for those North Country residents who seek to fight the winter blahs and cabin fever.
