In early October there will be a joint meeting between village officials, crime prevention person- nel from Albany and the general public to coor- dinate a neighborhood crime prevention pro- gram. This particular pro- gram which will be imple- mented by the Gouver- neur Police Department under the supervision of Patrolman Taylor will f ocuss on three aspects of crime prevention: Neigh- borhood watch, home sec- urity survey, which is a checklist of ways to se- cure the home, and the I.D. program, marking belongings with serial numbers. The most important fac- tor in crime prevention is that borth residents and local law enforcement agencies take the pro- gram seriously and co- operate fully.

Last week village of- ficials confirmed earlier fears that the recently vandalized eagle monu- ment had no insurance to cover its damages. The board has now covered the life-Saver for $10,000 and the arch for $100,000. Northland Insurance Agency has not yet quot- ed a price for the coverage but the cost will be con- siderably less than the $25,000 in repairs and restoration of the eagle, which will now depend * - . solely on donations and and ttis fundraisiiig projects. \We're hoping the work will be covered by dona* tions and we wont have to use taxpayer's mousy,\ said Gouverneur Mayor Laura Slats* This misfortune has the eyes of other infinities to the need far insuring their own out* door monuments. The \Fix the Eagle\ fundraising committee, comprised of Americo Marchione, VFW com* mander; Gary Petrie, American Legion com* mander, Delia Evans, St Lawrence National Bank; Sara Hatline, village treasurer and clerk; John Washburn, fire chief, and Larry Cole, edttor-innchkf of The Tribune, will hold their first meeting Oct 4 at 8 pom. in the Village Municipal Building. The purpose of the meet- ing is to organise, sdsd a chairperson and begin outlining the various fundraising activities. SeeArehPg.8 ._ ' -_ ., ~ Soldier Marches 100 Miles Nijmegen, Holland — Medics routinely drain fluid with syringes, gin- gerly cutting away blis- tered skin from doicns of abused feet But when a topical medication is splashed on exposed raw flesh, screaming starts. The aid tent explodes with a volley of pain- induced obscenities and sympathetic laughter, while other casualties nervously await their turn under the knife. While these are rela- tively brief momenta of discomfort, they qualify as times that literally try men's \sole* a fact Army Specialist David M. Csdedy of Gouverneur, would readily agree with. The scene is an all too fireQusnt occurrence in the blister tent at the mid- July version of the 72nd International Four Day Marches in Nijmegen. More than 800 American service members volun- teered for the torturous, grading endurance test, requiring 14-member teams to negotiate a different 25-mile course daily on four consecutive days. Mr. Cseledy, 23, son of James J. and Anita M. Cseledy, 279 Clinton St, Gouverneur, was among 25,000 participants from 35 countries who chose to walk the walk. James Cseledy is em- ployed at Fort Drum and Mrs. Csdedy is a longtime employee of EJ. Noble Hospital. \I volunteered for the marches in order to break the monotony of regular duties,\ Mr. Cseledy said. \I also wanted the chance to prove I could march 100 miles, visit Holland, and^meet the military personnel from other countries. 9 * The military repre- sentatives were far out- numbered by clusters of civilian-walking enthusi- asts, representing Great Britain, Denmark, Swe- den, West Germany, Australia, Italy, Canada, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and a host of other nations. Many of those countries' military were represented as well, with all uniformed personnel living in a tent city that seemed to buzz with more languages and dialects than the United Nations. The population of the Dutch town of Nijmegen swells from its normal 175,000 citizens to well over the million mark during the festivities, according to event organ* izers. The Dutch have spon- sored the marches since 1909 as a means of pro- moting mental and -physical fitness. There may be other benefits as well, as an ethnic smor- gasbord of people came to walk, cheer, communi- cate — and suffer — through the experience together. Even a group of marchers from the Soviet Union received a rousing round of applause as they passed through onlookers lining either side of the inarch route. This year marks the 42nd year mem- bers of the U.S. Army have taken part in the event. Mr. Cseledy, a generator equipment repairman sta- tioned with the 699th Maintenance Company in Hanau, West Germany, came prepared for the task at hand. \Our preparation in- volved three months of intensive training, log* ging over 850 miles, which was important both physically and mentally, especially during the 100- mile qualification specialist David M eseledy, Gouverneur. s generator inarches of 25-miles a day npafrman stationed In West Germany, shines his boots st he prepares to add another 25-mNes during the Four Days See Soldier Pg. 5 Marches held in Nijmegen. Holland $2,685 Given To Fix Eagle The fund raising campaign to help fix the broken eagle, started.Sept. 14 by the Tribune-Press has started off with a roar. The donations to date, including the $1,000 given by the Tribune to launch the campaign, total $2,686. Village officials have established a committee to help oversee the repair of the eagle and to take charge of the campaign funds when they are turned over to the village by the Tribune. The Fix The Eagle Fund has been well received and the Tribune is pleased to be part of the great community spirit that has developed following the tragic vandalism to the village landmark. Individuals, businesses, and a number of civic groups have rallied to help the effort Thanks to everyone. Here is a list of contributors to date: Mahlon & Barb Butler Helen I. Beatty Jean E.

Reape Ready or not commun- ities along the Route 11 comdor from ^ atertown to Antwerp and beyond are about to take one giant step for progress. Over the next five years, planning officials predict some of the most rapid development in the north country will take place along Route 11.
