Small Business Administration

|
Posted: May 14, 2013
The U.S. Small Business Administration Syracuse District Office
has selected Matthew S. Turcotte, founder and president of North
Shore Solutions with offices in Potsdam and Clayton, as the winner
of the 2013 SBA Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
Nominated by the Watertown Small Business Development Center,
21-year-old Turcotte was chosen for the award based on his North
Country company’s increase in sales and profits and his demonstrated
long-term potential as a successful business owner. At just 14,
Matthew Turcotte developed his first website and hasn’t looked back.
His web development company, North Shore Solutions, counted his
hometown of Clayton, its fire department, and the local opera house
as his clients just two years later. By the end of his junior year
in high school, Turcotte’s business won the top prize at a local
business concept competition for high school students and he
published his first book, “From Main Street to Mainstream, the
Essential Steps to Getting a Small Town Business Online.” Turcotte’s
business acumen was recognized with Clarkson University’s first-ever
Young Entrepreneur Award, where he was offered full tuition, office
space and mentoring in exchange for a 10% equity stake in his
business. Turcotte has grown the business tremendously during his
time at Clarkson, increasing revenues to six figures, while
maintaining a Presidential Scholar grade point average. North Shore
Solutions has expanded its services to offer logo design, web
hosting and marketing for clients ranging from 35 municipalities in
Upstate New York to small and large businesses as far away as
California.
In 2013, Turcotte expanded his horizons to real estate and purchased
a commercial office building and U-Store of Watertown, a storage
unit facility. Turcotte received the Syracuse District award at
SBA’s annual awards luncheon on May 6 at The DoubleTree Hotel in
East Syracuse.

“We decided to protect this property because we do not want to
see any type of development happen, particularly on our agricultural
land,” explained Jefferson County landowners Albert and Theresa
Desormeaux. “I wish there was some way to protect all valuable
agricultural land in this area of the North Country,” added Albert.
The Desormeaux’s have been farming here for over 60 years, and their
dream of protecting their agricultural lands has come true.
The Desormeaux’s 162.4 acres of crop and pasture land in the Town of
Antwerp is the thirteenth property to be protected through the Army
Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) program – a unique program that
strengthens the farm economy and improves the viability of Ft. Drum.
This unique conservation partnership between Fort Drum, Tug Hill
Tomorrow Land Trust and Ducks Unlimited works by limiting
development of property near the Fort Drum installation to
agricultural and forestry uses. This minimizes encroachment that
would otherwise negatively affect the ability of military to train
realistically on their training areas, while protecting valuable
farmland, wildlife and water resources.
Ft. Drum and agriculture and the two of the main drivers to the
regional economy, and both are supported by the ACUB program.
Buffering the training areas improves the ability to train and
protecting farms adds to their success and keeps the rural character
of the region which also supports the tourism economy.
“I learned about the ACUB program about a year ago, went to a few
landowner meetings, and felt as though it was the perfect fit for
our farm,” explained Albert, “Hopefully more farmers will take
advantage of the program.”

The Sackets Harbor Tree Committee has planted over 120 trees in
the past five years and this is their 5th Arbor Day Celebration.
Each year, the DPW assists the committee in choosing locations to
ensure a long happy life for that tree.
Each tree that has been planted in the past 5 years has been
lovingly cared for by the Village DPW.
Our DPW has attended DEC tree care seminars on pruning and planting
technique, water, stake and mulch. Tree MAINTENANCE is critical once
the trees are in the ground.
The DPW recognizes the value of trees and understands that trees are
a vital part of this community’s infrastructure…. Just as important
as water and sewer.
We showed our appreciation for the DPW for caring for the Village as
well. Many people comment on how NICE the Village looks and that it
so well cared for. All credit goes to the Sackets Harbor Village DPW.

Concert in Clayton May 7

|
Posted: April 27, 2013
" 'Whitney Houston Tribute,' 'Les Misérables,' 'Braveheart,' and
more!" has been selected as the theme for the Clayton Community
Band’s first concert of its 2013 season, which will be performed at
7 PM on May 7th at the Clayton Opera House.
Under the direction of Gloria Hvizdos Musser, the Band, which serves
as the Resident Ensemble of the Clayton Opera House, will present
the concert as a benefit for Hospice of Jefferson County. A special
note to concert-goers: with a new ticket policy at the Opera House,
all seats for the Community Band concerts will no longer be general
seating, but rather, each person will purchase a ticket for a
specific seat. Ticket prices remain at $5.00 each, and any student
accompanied by an adult will continue to be admitted free. However,
the students will need tickets for their specific (free) seats in
the Opera House. All concert-goers will need tickets.
The Clayton Community Band was founded in the summer of 2004 and its
conductor and instrumentalists represent many walks of life, a wide
range of ages, and come from hometowns throughout the North Country
and beyond. The Band truly is a ‘family’ of musicians who gather
together each week because of their love of making music together.
In addition, the Clayton Community Band has consistently reached out
to assist those in need by donating its concert proceeds to local
charitable organizations such as Hospice.
The Band’s May 7th concert will showcase a wide variety of musical
styles, tempos and emotions. Familiar to all will be a medley of
well-known tunes made popular by Whitney Houston; another medley
from the show and movie “Les Misérables”; and music from the
Oscar-nominated film “Braveheart”. Well known selections of Barry
Manilow will be presented, and audience members will also be able to
reminisce as they listen to Jimmy Webb’s “MacArthur Park”.
Incorporating a Spanish feel, the Band will perform “Spanish Fever”,
which will feature the percussion section of the Band, and a Spanish
March entitled “El Conquistador”. Also included in the concert
program will be the popular “When I’m Sixty-Four”; and two very
lyrical pieces entitled “Adagio” and “Ouachita”. Music donated to
the Band by one of its members in honor and memory of Trombonist and
Band member Gerry Adler, entitled “Finale from Symphony No. 5” by
Shostakovich; the Band’s signature piece - “March St. Lawrence” -
composed by Gloria H. and Willard I. Musser; and patriotic
selections will complete the evening’s program. Concert-goers of all
ages are welcome to attend the concert.
In addition to the May 7th concert, the Clayton Community Band’s
2013 concert season will include the following dates, with all of
the programs being held at 7 PM at the Clayton Opera House: July 2nd
(“A Patriotic Spectacular!”), August 20th, October 8th and December
3rd (the Band’s Holiday Concert).
The Clayton Opera house is handicapped-accessible. People needing
extra assistance entering the Opera House for the May 7th concert
may contact the Opera House ahead of time at 686-2200. Admission to
the concert is $5.00. Concert goers are encouraged to utilize the
Opera House Box Office during its business hours from 11 AM – 5 PM
every Tuesday through Friday to purchase tickets ahead of time. For
the convenience of our concert attendees, tickets can be purchased
online at
www.claytonoperahouse.com Remaining tickets will be available at
the door on the evening of the concert.
