6 Sunday,March 2,2008 WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES PROGRESS 2008 BUSINESS UPDATE Keddy Family Chiropractic treats the entire body CARTHAGE — Dr. Ryan Keddy opened Keddy Family Chiropractic in June 2006. Now, entering his third year, his practice continues to grow, mostly by referrals from his patients, their relatives, neighbors and friends. Dr. Keddy and office manager Kellie Neddo are constantly improving the practice, including having office hours to further accommodate their patients. Their expanded hours include opening at noon Wednesdays and staying open until 8 p.m. In addition they offer Saturday morning hours from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “Our practice continues to grow,” Dr. Keddy said. “We are always trying to make it more convenient for our patients to make an appointment, and we know that everyone has a busy schedule including their work. By extending our hours into the evening, and Saturday morning, it gives them a more lifestyle friendly choice for their chiropractic care.” Keddy Family Chiropractic says chiropractic treatments are effective for both conditionbased and wellness-based care, and its specialty is treatment of the whole body. Dr. Keddy and his staff can help treat a variety of conditions. They encourage the concept of wellness care and maintaining an interference free nervous system so your body can function at its optimum. Dr. Keddy’s interests in diversified, Gonstead, Thompson, Activator, myofascial trigger point therapy and extremity adjusting allows the practice to offer a diverse range of therapies for someone of any age or complaint. Dr. Keddy has also taken a series of seminars in extremity adjusting and is capable of adjusting much more than just the spine. For example, a sprained ankle commonly results in your talus moving anterior. If the talus remains anterior, this will alter the way you walk. The resulting limp can than affect your hips, forcing your low back to compensate for this change in posture. The kinetic effect can be seen all the way up the spine. Chiropractic care can help treat the related symptoms. “My patients are surprised to find out how their spine and nervous system has an effect on so many other health problems, and how through chiropractic treatment those symptoms can be treated,” Dr. Keddy said. Keddy Family Chiropractic participates with most major insurances, and continues to add new ones to the list. If patients have insurance questions, or to see if Keddy Family Chiropractic participates with their insurance, they should call 493-BACK (2225). Keddy Family Chiropractic is at 410 State St., next to St. James Church. Sunshine Dental offers many specialized services In addition to complete family dental care, Sunshine Dental PC provides specialized services for which many people might otherwise have to travel outside Northern New York. Cosmetic services continue to attract a growing number of patients. Three of the more popular ones are dental implants — surgical placement and tooth replacement; Lumineers — “contactlens-thin porcelain veneers;” and Invisalign invisible braces — a more comfortable, removable option than traditional braces. Other specialized services offered by Sunshine Dental include: extractions, crowns and bridges, dentures (full and partial), onevisit tooth repair, one-visit root canals and teeth whitening. Dr. Aeklavya Panjali, owner of Sunshine Dental, is certified by the state to practice conscious IV and oral sedation dentistry. “Avoiding the dentist’s office for extended periods of time often results in the need for long and involved procedures having to be performed,” he said. “This compounds the fearfulness and anxiety some experience. With conscious sedation dentistry, I am able to perform procedures quicker, easier, and in most cases, with one visit.” Sunshine Dental is at 140 Eastern Boulevard, Northland Plaza, Watertown.

He provides modern non-invasive ambulatory surgery for many other common health issues, such as pain free colonoscopies, varicose veins, hemorrhoidectomies, in-office vasectomies, and lumps, bumps and mole removal. “One of the biggest concerns for my patients is the length of time for recovery. People can’t afford to miss work or be unable to perform their daily activities. I understand that concern, and with my procedures they typically recover faster and are able to resume their normal activities very quickly,” emphasized Dr. Rosner. Dr. Rosner has been a major contributor to both Carthage Area and Lewis County General hospitals recent expansion projects, as well as many local events and organizations.

PROGRESS 2008 WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES Day,Month Sunday,March Date,Year 2,2008 C5 7 Wind farm developers in Jefferson face gale of challenges FROM PAGE 5 will be in that position — the Galloo Island project. The projects on the mainland must or have chosen to honor setbacks. James H. Madden, BP Alternative Energy project manager, said that distance is not a straight formula to wind resources as setbacks push a development back from the coast. “We’re trying to measure wind resources in different areas in the project,” he said. But he conceded that at a certain distance, setbacks could eliminate a project from the wind resource-rich land. Daniel E. DuBois, director of businesss development for Acciona, said that Acciona would honor the setbacks proposed in a zoning law amendment in May 2006 for its St. Lawrence Wind Farm. Even though the amendment was not passed, it included setbacks of 1,000 feet from nonparticipating residents’ property lines, 1,250 feet from nonparticipating residents’ homes, 750 from participating residents’ homes and 1,500 feet from the village of Cape Vincent line. Most of the power produced by wind farms would be sold on the wholesale market in New York. New sources of power are in high demand after the 2003 blackout that left much of the Northeast without electricity. A blackout in summer 2006 left western Queens without power 15541 North Harbor Road Kellogg Hill, Exit 43 off I-81 Adams Center, NY 13606 www.painfullacres.com FOR ALL YOUR FURNITURE NEEDS Phone (315) 583-5400 for eight days. The Associated Press reported in January that Consolidated Edison, the utility that serves New York City and Westchester County, delivered a record amount of electricity in 2007. During the summer, use of electric power has increased 200 megawatts each year. A megawatt is about enough power to supply 1,000 homes. The state’s renewable portfolio standards make Northern New York attractive to renewable energy developers. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority is responsible for the program, which is encouraging the growth of renewable sources so they represent 25 percent of energy used by 2013. The authority is responsible for purchasing power produced by renewable sources. Power customers across the state pay a surcharge for renewable energy, which is the agency’s fees from the utilities passed on to consumers. The money goes to NY- SERDA, which rewards renewable energy producers with a credit or refund for each megawatt hour of renewable energy. During its first and second rounds of funding renewable power projects in 2006 and 2007, NYSERDA contracted with 26 renewable energy generators. They were rated to produce 800 megawatts and were estimated to produce almost 2.9 million megawatt hours in 2008. In the We have all solid hardwood furniture made to your specifications.

OPEN BY APPOINTMENT ANYTIME! second round, the agency agreed to pay $15 per megawatt hour. Paul W. Burdick, project director for AES, said the more renewable energy that is produced, the lower the power prices will be. “It’s a statewide benefit for power buyers,” he said. Anne V. Dalton, spokeswoman for the Public Service Commission, said that power consumers are seeing increasing surcharges for the program. For example, National Grid customers paid less than $2 in 2006, $3.30 in 2007 and will pay $4.95 in 2008. “The reason the surcharge increases is that the targets each year increase,” she said. NYSER- DA is authorized to collect the renewable energy charge through 2013. A report released Monday by the state’s Renewable Energy Task Force said the RPS program could support 3,000 megawatts of wind energy, but 5,000 megawatts have been proposed. Lt. Gov. David A. Paterson, who is the task force’s chairman, said that the program is receiving onlytwo-thirds of the money it needs. The Public Service Commission is conducting a study to determine the how much more money the program will need and how it should be collected. Besides the state program, the wind projects could benefit from the federal government’s production tax credits. This tax break will expire at the end of 8914 MAIN NYS OFFICE HENDERSON, ROUTE NY 13650 178 (315) 938-9292 2008 if it is not renewed. But as it stands now, a company receives a two cent per kilowatt hour tax break for 10 years. The tax credit was not voted into the economic stimulus package that was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate on Feb. 7. But it is part of an energy tax break bill introduced Feb. 12 in the House. A wind farm must be built and producing energy before it can receive the tax break. None of the Jefferson County projects will be constructed before the end of the year, so they will be unable to benefit if the program is not renewed. While the developers of the local projects said they would not stop the development if the tax credits are lost, they all said it would hurt their projects. “It’s one of the main drivers for making renewable energy feasible,” Mr. Burdick said. Local payment-in-lieu-oftaxes agreements also ensure that developers can afford their wind projects. The county, towns and school districts in the project area receive a payment smaller than the amount property taxes would bring in from the developers. DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS Developers flaunt several benefits, from the concrete to the emotional. Job creation is one of the biggest benefits for the county.

Suite 30 Open enrollment starts November 15th. or www.exitmore.com jobs and 10 or 15 permanent operation jobs, according to Kim M. Sachtleben, project manager for Babcock & Brown, the investment firm backing the project. While she does not yet know whether they will hire all or most of the workers locally, she said, “It is always our first choice to get the workers locally.” Local hiring is better for the company, because it costs less. The workers in the construction phase would be potential candidates for the permanent, full-time operation jobs. Horse Creek Wind Farm in Clayton, developed by PPM Energy, will also create dozens of construction jobs and five to seven full-time operation positions. The St. Lawrence Wind Farm will bring between 75 and 100 construction jobs and four to six full-time positions, Mr. DuBois said. It has already caused AES and Acciona to create a full-time job and a part-time internship to staff a Cape Vincent office. BP Alternative Energy’s Cape Vincent Wind Farm could bring between 150 and 200 construction jobs and five to 10 maintenance and adminstrative positions after construction is complete. Project manager James H. Madden said BP does not have control over the hiring pool — that is determined by the contractor for the job. But he expects there will be as many local electricians and workers hired as possible. “You need people CHOCOLATE THE COTTAGE • with the right skills for a very compressed time frame,” he said. “If we have two projects developed at the same time, the local market will be overwhelmed.” All of the developers are or will be negotiating tax breaks in payment-in-lieu-of-taxes and host community agreements. But after 15 or 20 years, those agreements expire and the developers will pay full property taxes. Babcock & Brown also said their development would help Galloo Island. “Most of the island is not going to be disturbed,” Ms. Sachtleben said. The development would affect about 4 percent of the acreage, leaving about 1,920 acres as a “de facto nature preserve.” Ms. Sachtleben also pointed to environmental benefits for the Galloo Island project. Babcock & Brown’s preliminary estimates show that 17 billion gallons of fresh water will be conserved. That is the amount of water it would take to cool a power plant during one year. And, she said, the Galloo Island production will keep 1 million tons of carbon dioxide from being released in the atmosphere. Mr. DuBois said this green source of energy should give people an emotional reason for supporting wind farms. Residents will know “Jefferson County has done something to solve the greenhouse gas emissions crisis,” he said. “The Sweet Tastes of Europe” Chocolates • Decadent Desserts • Quiet Escape 527 COFFEEN ST. • 315-777-4407 • OPEN 7 DAYS (315) 18874 NEW US ADDRESS WATERTOWN, 782-9292 ROUTE NY 13601 11 EXIT MORE REAL ESTATE EXIT MORE REAL ESTATE Deborah Broker/Owner Moran, 315-783-7355 EXIT MORE REAL ESTATE 8 (315) 938-9291 or (315) 782-9292 Email: www.dmoran.exitmore.com dmoran@exitmore.com Linda Salesperson Landers, 315-783-0093 (315) 938-9291 EXIT MORE or REAL (315) ESTATE 782-9292 Email: www.llanders.exitmore.com llanders@exitmore.com Cheryl 315-788-0922 Zeldin, Slsp 315-921-2462or (315) 938-9291 EXIT MORE or REAL (315) ESTATE 782-9292 Email: www.czeldin.exitmore.com czeldin@exitmore.com Karen 315-788-7221 Jorden, Slsp 315-955-0891or (315) 938-9291 EXIT MORE or REAL (315) ESTATE 782-9292 Email: www.kjorden.exitmore.com kjorden@exitmore.com Mary-Grace (Megay), Slsp Britt 315-323-9973 (315) 938-9291 EXIT MORE or REAL (315) ESTATE 782-9292 Email: www.mgbritt.ExitMore.com mgbritt@ExitMore.com Michael Sales Assoc.
