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.

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.

Farming and Ft. Drum

Posted: April 27, 2013

“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.”

Posted: April 27, 2013

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.
