Auction Barn * Juiced-Up' After some 21 years in the auction business, Wayne Hitchman, Gou- verneur, held his last sale at the 3-H Auction Barn, Route 11, on Jan. 12. But with the end of one business comes the beginning of a new business, as Mr. Hitchman has announced plans to open a non-alcoholic \juice bar\ for Gou- verneur area youths next month. The as yet unnamed \juice bar\ will cater to the 16- to 20-year-old crowd, Mr. Hitchman said. \It's not going to be for people over 21.\ The \juice bar\ will serve sodas and non-alcoholic drinks made with fruit juices. No food will be served. Mr. Hitchman said he hopes to open by the end of February with dancing to music provided by a DJ on Friday and Saturday nights. Later on, he said he hopes to open on Sunday afternoons to give the under 16 crowd a place to go to listen to a juke box, drink sodas, and play a variety of arcade games, possibly including a pool table and a Foozball table. The juice bar will not be open during the week while school is in session, and age restrictions will be in force. \If I liad a daughter 12 years old, I wouldn't want her out here dancing with 17- to 20-year-olds,\ Mr. Hitchman said. During school vacations, the \juice bar\ may open during the week, and when school is out in June, additional hours are anticipated. Mr. Hitchman cautioned, however, that the \juice bar\ will have some strict rules that will be enforced. \An entry fee will be charged,\ he said. \Kids will not be allowed to roam freely in and out. Anyone who leaves the building will have to pay to get back in; I'm going to hire bouncers, and no See Going Pg. 6 Local Sears Outlet Expands The Sears Catalog Store in Gou- verneur is now open at its new location at 79 E.

But for area women who recently completed the ten week ma- chine quilting course at the Haileshoro BOCES center, quilting is still a personal accomplishment, .a pragmatic exacting skill, and an enjoyable jhobby. r , v v . ..- ; -yv^v -....-.- . .

Tribune Photo/Jan Phillips Residents Tour Prison Life Behind the Bars Different Than Past By Lisa L. Reape facility at bumPfcoto - For most of us, our idea of prison life is what we see on television or read in books, but a group of 52 local officials and representatives of area organiza- tions had a chance Wednesday to peer behind the prison walls at the River- view Correctional Facility at Ogdensburg. Arranged by Gouvemeur village and town officials, through the efforts of state Corrections Deputy Commissoner Kevin Travis, the trip was designed to educate the public on what a modern correctional facility is like. It was the first step in helping local residents decide whether they would want a cor- rectional facility in Gouvemeur. Whatever their personal feelings about a prison before the tour, no one in the group walked away from the Riverview facility with the same perceptions they had when they entered. The one word that seemed to be on everyone's lips at the end of the tour was \impressive.\ A better compliment could not be given to Riverview Super- intendent Wayne Barkley, who, along with the prison staff the Gouvemeur group encountered, personified the pro- fessionalism the governor sets as a goal for the corrections department. At the onset, Mr. Barkley stated, Tm not here to sell you on a correctional facility; Tm here to show you this facil- ity.\ The group broke into three smaller groups for the tour, which treated the participants to a show of the security system. After signing in, a correctional officer stamps a visitor's hand with a special ink Visitors are led into a barred containment area. Each places ihis hand into a small opening in a wall, where another officer in a security booth on the other side uses a scanning device to detect the ink which identifies the person as a visitor. The invisible ink is the visitor's ticket out at the end of a visit As Mr Barkley quipped, \We let anyone in, but it's a tittle harder to get out\ Visitors are then led through a fence enclosed walkway which leads to the visitors' buikbng. Inmates receiving visitors are allowed entry into this through where they are frisked before and after for contraband. . • As more than 70 percent of the in- mates are incarcerated for drug-related offenses, according to Mr. Barkley, passing drugs to inmates is a leading problem for prison officials. It is less a problem at Riverview, a 750-bed me- dium-security facility owned by New York City and operated by the state. Because most of the inmates will spend less than three months at Riverview, their families make fewer visits and are unlikely to move to the area. They usually cannot afford to make the move, even if they were so inclined, Mr. Bar- See Today's Pg. 5 Eagle Fund Soars Over $14,000 Donations received this week for the Fix The Eagle campaign have pushed the fund over the S14.'*00 mark the minimum amount required to restore the facie to its farmer Grandeur The fundraismp dnve. initiated Sept 14 with j\ $1,000 donation by the Tnhune-Press received a boost this week of $990 in contributions, pushing the total to $14 .^2 9r> The village has awarded a contract to Douglass D Kwart.
