LAKE PLACID „ A win by Paul OÍ Shea of Ireland in the $75,000 Equine Insurance Services/Great American Grand Prix of Lake Placid was the culminating highlight of the 44th annual Lake Placid Horse Show, Presented by Sea Shore Stables, LLC. Riding Michael Hayden’s Primo De Revel, O’Shea was one of six entries from the starting field of 34 to reach the jump-off by riding without penalty over the 14-jump first round course designed by 2008 Olympic course designer Steve Stephens. U.S. Olympic veteran Margie Engle of Wellington, FL, seeking a record eighth Grand Prix win in Lake Placid, took an early lead in the jump-off with a fault-free ride in 39.409 seconds on Royce, a 9-year-old, Oldenburg gelding. Her lead held until O’Shea, 36, returned on Hayden’s 12-yearold, Belgian Warmblood. He finished clean in 38.189 seconds to claim the win. Engle placed second and Heather Caristo Williams of Saugerties, NY finished third on Evening Star with 4 jump-off faults and a time of 41.795 seconds. “I watched Margie go and when I saw her do six strides between fences 2 and 3 I changed my strategy to do the same,î he said. ñ I had thought at first that it would ride longer. I rode as fast as I could without overdoing it.î Engle said that her first concern was to go clean. ñ I didnÍ t ride all out because, going early, I knew I had to be clean to have a chance. I knew there were places that I could get caught and Paul did a beautiful job.î The win by OÍ Shea of Kildimo, Ireland marked the fourth straight year that a rider from Ireland has won the event, following wins by Darragh Kenny in 2010, Jonathan McCrea in 2011 and Kenny again last year.

Gov. Cuomo celebrates free fishing weekend on Saranac Lake SARANAC LAKE — Governor Andrew M. Cuomo fished the Saranac Lake with Senator Betty Little and Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joseph Martens June 29 as part New York’s statewide Free Fishing Weekend, an annual event designed to ñ hookî new anglers and ñ lureî them into becoming fishing enthusiasts. ñ From scenic Saranac Lake to the great Finger Lakes to the beaches of Long Island, New York State offers the best fishing for residents, visitors and even Governors,” Cuomo said. “As part of our NY Open for Hunting and Fishing initiative, this Free Fishing Weekend highlights all of the great fishing spots that New York State has to offer for anglers. Not only is fishing a great way to enjoy the great outdoors of our state, it can also help drive tourism and generate economic activity. This summer, I encourage all New Yorkers to cast a line and see what they can reel in.î As part of Cuomo’s NY’s Open for Hunting and Fishing initiative, New York residents and visitors could fish for free without a fishing license in any of the stateÍ s 7,500 lakes and ponds or 50,000 miles of rivers and streams during the weekend of June 29-30.

NY’s Open for Hunting and Fishing initiative includes the streamlining of hunting and fishing licensing and reducing license fees, improved access for fishing at various sites across the state, stocking as much as 900,000 pounds of fish raised at DEC hatcheries, and increasing hunting opportunities in various regions. To further encourage fishing in New York State, Governor Cuomo signed legislation last year expanding the opportunity for free fishing clinics, allowing more New Yorkers to experience fishing for the first time by enabling DEC to increase the number of free clinics that can be held throughout the state. The Free Fishing Days program began in 1991 to allow all people the opportunity to sample the incredible fishing New York State has to offer. New York’s sport fishing industry generates an estimated $1.8 billion in economic activity annually, supporting nearly 32,000 jobs.

“Getting more people involved in the sport of fishing is an important component of the Governor Cuomo’s NY’s Open for Hunting and Fishing Initiative,” Martens said. “This is

the perfect time to introduce someone to the sport of fishing or invite a friend or relative from out of state to enjoy the great fishing the state has to offer.î

NYC: Is bigger really better? Independence Day celebration N T

ew York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was ecstatic last week, announcing that the cityÍ s population had swollen to an all-time high of 8,336,697 as of mid-2012 Census Bureau estimates. ñ ThereÍ s no better indication of the strength of our city than a record high population and a net population influx,” crowed Bloomberg. “People are voting with their feet.î I donÍ t mind a little civic boosterism from time to time, but not when it represents a toxic failure to balance multiple values. For 11 years now, this mayor — whom the docile New York press corps often portrays as a refined and elegant patron of the arts „ has acted based on a crude, one-dimensional philosophy: bigger is better. In general, the mayor remains completely dissociated from the many negative consequences already arising from the cityÍ s population ñ boom,î let alone those that would plague us if the Bloomberg administrationÍ s 2006 projection of the cityÍ s population in 2030 (9.1 million) were realized. As a life-long New Yorker, I’m not looking for a quiet, rural retreat. But I donÍ t think that city life is supposed to generate an unrelieved state of crowding and noise. And, you canÍ t walk in popular New York City neighborhoods, take the subway, or drive a car without realizing very quickly that life here is distinctly more crowded and noisy than it was just 10 years ago. Very simply, packing more people into this city creates a variety of intensifying pressures. Were there sufficient political will, some of these pressures could be resolved with policy changes: greater funding for mass transit, for example (the mayorÍ s sensible but unsuccessful effort to implement congestion pricing to reduce the number of cars streaming into Manhattan business districts would have helped, too). But political will has long been lacking, and, just as critically, many pressures of a growing population are not susceptible to resolution. Housing is Exhibit A. As landlords and developers have continued to get carte blanche to convert middle-class housing into luxury housing (and to build ultra-luxury housing often owned by those who don’t actually call New York their home), the housing crisis for middleand working-class New Yorkers has intensified throughout Mayor Bloomberg’s tenure. And that doesnÍ t even include the more than 50,000 New Yorkers who are homeless. What does population increase do? It makes that crisis worse, forcing even more people to chase fewer affordable apartments. That is not a supply-and-demand formula that is friendly to any families other than those who move in

Bloomberg circles and who can wall themselves off (at least until they find themselves in an emergency room, where, even at the cityÍ s best hospitals, staff is overwhelmed by „ population again „ an ever-growing number of people seeking their services). Take a look at parks. For anyone who is serious about the quality of urban life, the importance of adequate park space canÍ t be overstated. New York has well-known jewels in its park system, but the system as a whole not only lacks resources, it simply doesnÍ t provide enough park for each New Yorker. A growing New York population means that parkland per capita goes down (just at a moment when existing parkland is being eyed jealously for its potential housing development potential). And what about schools? Some current problems (including the problem of overcrowding) would be mitigated if New York State complied with a court decision that stated the state needed to remedy the funding formula by which it historically shortchanged New York City schools. But, with or without that help, large numbers of new students in a still-growing city would almost certainly overtax the best-faith efforts to recognize and overcome the enormous existing problems of the cityÍ s school system, even were such efforts brought to bear. It really is quite striking: this globe-trotting mayor has seemingly never thought about (let alone has caused to be studied) the public health consequences of a growing New York City population. Nor has he examined any alternatives to his vision: How could a stable population not only sustain New York City, but also help it thrive for more of its residents than it has in the past? How could smaller be better? How could we cooperate with neighboring jurisdictions instead of just beating our chest as the biggest and best? And he has apparently failed to do so even though he often does take a public health perspective in other contexts. The Bloomberg administration, for example, recently unveiled a new public education campaign targeting teen pregnancy, and defended that controversial but factually accurate campaign on the grounds that it sends an important message that ñ teen pregnancy has consequences „ and those consequences are extremely negative, life-altering, and most often disproportionately borne by young women.î Broader population trends, too, can be extremely negative, city altering, and disproportionately borne by those with the least resources. -Craig Gurian, Remapping Debate

‘New Normal’ in College Cost

here was a time not too long ago when it was possible to work your way through college with only minimal loans at the completion of your degree. I know this to be true because I was able to do this as were many of my contemporaries. There were also many more state and federal financial supports than there are now in the way of grants. In addition to rising college costs, American median household income has declined to compound the difficulty in financing a college education. The convergence of these developments has contributed to a gathering financial storm that may soon begin to dampen the economic fires that have been lifting the national economy. There seems to be little hope that there will be By Scot Hurlburt a reinvestment by states in higher education any time soon, instead, students and families will be expected to shoulder even more expense going forward. This ï new normalÍ could also further imperil the economy as college graduates delay making major purchases such as new cars, homes or other major purchases as they begin to pay off college loans that in some instances are over $100,000 and climbing as interest piles up. In 2001, state and local per full time student support reached their zenith at $8,670.00. Currently student support per full time student is $5,896.00. Colleges seem to be ignorant of these nationwide developments as tuition continues to increase at unsustainable rates. Over the last ten years community college expense has risen by 40 percent while tuition at a four year public college has increased by 68 percent. In that same decade, median household income fell by almost 10 percent as more Americans suffered under the recession or economic malaise. Now, there are more Americans living in poverty than at any other time since accurate records have been maintained. According to some sources, the aggregate of all student loans is approaching one trillion dollars. The households with the lowest incomes are shouldering the most debt as families in the lowest income quintile at 24 percent are over twice that of any other income quintile. To compound the difficulty, many college graduates are unemployed or underemployed. In 2013, the Center for College Affordability and Productivity found that 48 percent of college graduates are employed in jobs where a college degree is not required and 38 percent are employed where a high school diploma is not required. For example, in 1970, 1 percent of taxi drivers had college degrees now 15 percent do. One need not be an accountant to surmise what is and will continue to happen; students are defaulting on their college loans. In 2004, the rate of college debt default was 9 percent, today that rate has risen to 17 percent and many indicators suggest that the default rate could rise to over 50 percent. On July 1, the interest rate on student loans is scheduled to return to 6.8 percent if congress does not act to keep interest rates lower. Senator Elizabeth Warren has suggested that college students should be allowed to borrow money at the rate that big banks borrow it at from the Federal Reserve, 0.75 percent. Warren suggested that investing in those large banks is no more important than investing in the minds that will lead the nation one day. If there is no relief for college students fewer students will attend a university just as it was many years ago. There was a time in America where only the affluent could attend college because they were the only ones that could afford it. If this is the course that develops I am afraid that our country will pay a heavy price for this decision. In the early seventies, if I am recalling it correctly, there were a variety of television commercials in support of funding African American college students; I believe the tag line was, ñ a mind is a terrible thing to waste.î Perhaps those commercials will resurface again, not in support of a particular disadvantaged group but rather all Americans who cannot pay for college out of pocket. I hope that I am wrong and that the government will provide relief to students and their families just as it did for the major corporations that received a bailout. It is difficult to imagine that our political leadership will allow our country to take what would be a giant step backward. Remember, all kids count. Reach the writer at Hurlburt@wildblue.net

Taxes on taxes

To the Valley News: Here we go again; the children have their hands in the cookie jar. Our intrepid Board of Supervisors and the only qualified person to be County Manager have come up with two new tax proposals. The first is a tax on a tax, but they have never seen a tax they could not spend. During the discussion on imposing the vehicle registration tax, we get to hear the depth of thought and intelligence of the Board. One supervisor says that we should impose the tax because everyone else does (lemmings?). The other says that the tax would be a step towards decreasing the tax levy – ($150,000 decrease?). The County Manager then makes the mistake of speaking the truth saying ñ I think that this is a way to generate more revenue, I do not think that this is something we are doing to replace lost revenue.î All of the Supervisors are saying that it will be used for infrastructure, how many roads will be paved each year for $150,000? The second cookie they are trying to pull from the cookie jar is the one-quarter percent increase in the sales tax, because everyone else is doing it. That logic is again overwhelming. The County Manager again says that it will pay for public services as (sic) road improvements, jail operations and Medicaid. How many new sources are we going to find for road improvements and paying for the jail that was supposed to pay for itself? At no time in all of this discussion is it ever heard that the property tax levy will be decreased. When all of these new taxes are collected, they will be immediately spent and the property tax levy will increase yearly. Taxes will never go

down, that is an anathema to politicians.

Comptroller criticized

George King Westport

To the Valley News:: Recently the State Comptroller ’s Office completed a review of towns, counties and some villages to determine what, if any, fiscal stress they may be incurring at this time. Later on this year, the remaining villages and the school districts will have the same review. I received a draft proposal that was sent out before this review took place. That was followed by several meetings in which the comptroller Í s staff reviewed the process again. I attended one in Syracuse in May and we were assured by OSC staff that we would be getting a copy to review before any release to the public. At another meeting in Watertown earlier this month, staff from OSC again told those in attendance that municipalities would be seeing the reviews first before any public release of the information. On June 18, at the Essex County Finance Committee monthly meeting, I went over the process as was told to me concerning municipalities seeing the review first and having a short period of time to review and comment on them back to OSC before they were publicly released. On June 19, OSC released the full findings without ever sending any advance notice to municipalities that it was coming out, despite comments to the contrary form OSC staff on at least two separate occasions. Obviously, that made me look rather foolish as I had just told the supervisors the day before that they would get it before the public did! Following the release of the findings, the New York State Association of County Treasurers and Finance Officer asked our president to send a letter on our behalf to Comptroller DiNapoli concerning this matter. For myself, I am not as concerned with the fact this program was taking place, as I welcomed a review of Essex CountyÍ s fiscal stress condition. And I am also not concerned with what the Essex County supervisors may have thought of me saying something I thought was true but was really not! As it was, we were rated fairly good compared to other counties. My biggest concern was the fact that we were not afforded the opportunity to review the score ahead of time and make it available to the board of supervisors in advance of public release! Despite several assurances of being able to have an advanced copy, the comptroller basically lied to us! Michael G. Diskin, NACCTFO President - Elect Essex County Treasurer

Horse show

Continued from page 1 ñ I thought Steve built a fair course and a good course,î O’Shea. “He built the course for the Grand Prix we won in Wellington in April. Maybe I should just follow him around!î This is the first time that OÍ Shea has competed at Lake Placid. “We came over for a few shows last year,î said Hayden who bought the horse

ment. Registration is limited by calling 518-483-7403 or by emailing rlg24@cornell.edu. Guided tours of the Gardens will be hosted by the owner and by CCE Master Gardener volunteers, starting at 1 p.m. You may pick up a schedule of events and sign up for a tour when you arrive or, if you prefer, you may wander around on your own, relax in any of the many recliners and Adirondack chairs and rockers along the way and, if you like, enjoy a leisurely game of chess, bocce, croquet or horseshoes.

Needless to say, we are very glad we did.î OÍ Shea echoed the sentiment. ñ It really is a fabulous place to bring the horses,î he said. ñ The riding trails are great for them and I really am in love with this horse show.î Caristo-Williams, the former Young Rider and USEF Prix de States Gold Medalist

Photo contest winners named

W E S T P O RT — B a r b a r a Richards, of Salt Lake City, Ut., always wanted to visit the Adirondacks but she didnÍ t know anybody there. That didnÍ t deter her from hopping on a train, getting off in Port Henry and walking into the Collins Motel bar where she met Janet Denney, Rita Collins, and Lynda Smythe. Several days later, these new friends hiked the nearby Cheney Mountain Trail where Janet took a picture that tied for first place in Champlain Area Trails first Photo and Caption Contest winner. Her picture shows the beautiful view and her caption describes a chance encounter which allowed a, ñ stranger to become a friend.î The other first place winner was Aran Voss Hutchins of Westport, who captured an intricately detailed Snowberry Clearwing Moth on the Black Kettle Nature Trail in Essex. She first thought the moth was the largest bumblebee she had ever seen. It was three-tofour inches long, perched in

Barbara Richards the grass, and was just, ñ one of these little jewels we are so lucky to have all around us if we take the time to look.î The two winners split the $250 first place prize. Chris Maron, executive director for CATS, awarded the prizes to these two winners along with the PeopleÍ s Choice prize of $100 to Melissa Maki, of Willsboro. Her photo of her three dogs, perched on a log along a CATS trail was accompanied by a poem describ-

ing how people and their pets can enjoy exploring the areaÍ s woods and meadows. CATS held the photo contest, along with the previous travel writing contests with the purpose of promoting economic vitality through outdoor recreation based tourism. ñ People research vacation destinations online, so as they look into visiting the northeast, we want them to see articles and pictures about New York’s Champlain Valley and get inspired to come here, enjoy the outdoors, patronize local businesses, and tell others about this beautiful area,î said Maron. “We are grateful to the J.C. Kellogg Foundation for underwriting this contest.î Plans are underway for the next CATS Photo and Caption Contest.

Training for the next generation of Olympic aerials athletes By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Youth from across the Northeast made their way to Lake Placid last week to train in a specialized camp that was looking for the next generation of aerialists. The youth, most of whom were experienced in gymnastics, strapped into skis and made their way down one of the three ramps at the Verizon Jumping Complex’s aerial training pool June 28 as part of a week-long aerials camp. Several of the trainees were locking into skis for the first time. ñ A lot of these kids at the camps have never been on skis before,” Doug Haney of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association said. ñ They come from a gymnastics background and we are looking to identify those who can put the two skills together.î Haney said that the balance needed to be a high-level gymnast helps those who are new to skis to stay centered. He said the first time down one of the ramps can be intimidating, but many get the hang of it and start doing aerial acrobatics. “We had a camp just like this one in Utah a week earlier,” Haney said. “The goal of these camps is to identify the athletes that we feel can be a part of the aerials team heading into the 2018 Winter Olympic Games and beyond.” Haney said that the Lake Placid camp had been beneficial for the staff, which includes 1980 Olympic Gold medalist Eric Bergoust. ñ There are some from this camp that we have looked at and will be moving onto the next phase of training,” Haney said.

The Joys of an Adirondack Summer

Summer adventure: Guess who’s coming to dinner? Photo provided

rather than with discovery, joy and wonder. Fitness is another grave concern, especially when children donÍ t get the chance to exercise regularly, to run and jump, bike or play games such as Hide ‘n Seek or Capture the Flag Sadly, researchers predict that the current generation of Americans will be the first generation since the Civil War to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

Sliding down the falls, a special summer treat.

Photo provided

do not believe there has ever been a place more suited to summer fun than the Adirondacks. It was always the best time to be a kid, and it remains a time that still makes kids out of all of us! Short of the danger poised by a few bugs, and the occasional clumsy bruin, the region offers up a season that provides the finest in hiking, stargazing, fishing, swimming, canoeing, biking, camping or just plain old exploring. It is a time when we get to stretch out our legs and expand our limits. It is where we are allowed to test our strengths, and shed our weaknesses. We overcome fears by jumping into the lake, or climbing a mountain cliff. In essence, we grow as a result of the challenges we dare to take on. Exploring appears to be something of a bygone art, these days. It seems Google Earth has provided safe and easy travel to nearly everyplace on the planet. There is no longer a ñ Dark ContinentÍ or a Timbuktu, everyplace has been explored, mapped, conquered and tamed. The sole exception to this concept is often to be found in our own backyard. At one time, it was considered safe for kids to explore beyond their own backyard, and to safely wander beyond the bounds of the neighborhood. It was never considered a dangerous journey! Unfortunately, for many young boys, and girls I must add; a steady media barrage of blasting the never ending story of child abduction has served to scare the ï living be-gee-sisÍ out of even the most sensible parents. However, the process of children’s alienation from the natural settings did not happen all at once. It has been a gradual removal that has occurred in a series of small increments, amplified by an overzealous and pervasive media that appears hell bent on sensationalizing child abductions, Amber Alerts and the omnipresent fear of pedophiles lingering in the backyard bushes. The media has seemingly convinced parents the child abductors are everywhere, and it appears cell phone companies have become the major beneficiaries of these scare tactics. Now, kids as young as 4 years old must carry the devices to provide parents with peace of mind. Of course, the phones also provide the benefits of electronic entertainment. However, recent research reveals that it hasn’t been Chester the Molester that’s causing the most harm to our kids. Rather, it is the pervasive over protectiveness of parents that refuse to allow their kids to roam from home. This generation may be the most connected generation in the history of the country, electronically! However, they are equally the most disconnected generation from nature, by far. By 1990, a childÍ s roaming radius, the distance they are permitted to safely range from home alone, had shrunk to one-ninth of what it had been in 1970. A marked decrease in bicycle sales and use has been considered an unfortunate side effect of this diminished roaming radius, although researchers remain unsure which came first. Hubert H. Humphrey, a US Senator once claimed, “There is in every American, I think, something of the old Daniel Boone -- who, when he could see the smoke from another chimney, felt himself too crowded and moved further out into the wilderness.î Americans, as a nation, have long lusted to wander, to explore, to travel beyond the great beyond. I grew up during the era of space travel before the wild frontier of space was tamed. I remember watching on the television as we put a man on the moon. Now, we’ve put rovers, and their cameras as far away as Mars,

Kick ‘em out the door!

and yet our children still canÍ t walk down the street alone. Is it too much of an adventure? I never thought IÍ d see the day when an electronic babysitter would care for children as George Jetson’s robot maid often did. But, most parents have now adopted the electronic baby sitter concept. We plug our kids into cell phones and Gameboys and Wii’s to keep them pacified. We cart them around so often the car manufacturers have had to install TV screens in the vehicles, simply to placate kids who refuse to be denied their unending barrage of electronic entertainment. As much as I may hate to admit it, Mom was right, when she used to tell us to: “Turn off the TV and go outside to play. It’ll rot your mind!î Usually this was reinforced with a warning to ñ Be home by dark or you wonÍ t get any dinner!î With a family of five kids and two parents, Mom’s good cooking never lasted very long. As a result, the dinner hour was promptly obeyed, since there was nothing to eat but a peanut butter and jelly sandwich after the meat and potatoes were all gone. It wasnÍ t a fear of the dark that drove any of us home, it was the fear of an empty stomach! Recent research confirms that children who regularly spend time outdoors are happier, healthier and smarter. Grass stained clothes actually produce good grades, who would have guessed! It has been proven that nature is important to childhood development in every major way: intellectually, emotionally, socially, spiritually and physically. Unfortunately, in recent years, lifestyle trends have changed dramatically, and the great outdoors is no longer considered to be so great. In fact, if the media is to be believed, it is downright dangerous to be out there. Back in my days as a kid, the only handheld electronic entertainment was a transistor radio or a flashlight. Our black and white television usually featured only two channels unless you adjusted the rabbit ears just right, and wrapped them with a bit of tin foil. Our parents called it the boob tube. I guess it was really just a predecessor to the You tube, but far less risky. TodayÍ s children are simply not getting outside. They are not fishing, building forts in the woods, catching frogs or turning over logs for salamanders. In short, children are living naturedeprived childhoodÍ s that are responsible for a serious disconnect from the real world of birds, bees, trees and all the entertainment they can provide. Children who grow up primarily indoors are deprived from developing a full connection to nature. Tethered by technology and over structured with schedules that would make an executive flinch, many of today’s children are missing out on the chance to be active participants in the world as a whole. In many cases, a lack of direct experience in the outdoors has resulted in children connecting nature with fear and disaster,

Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, explained, ñ Time in nature is not leisure time; itÍ s an essential investment in our childrenÍ s health.î The answer? Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, explained, ñ Time in nature is not leisure time; itÍ s an essential investment in our childrenÍ s health.î The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends pediatricians promote free, unstructured play and discourage excessive passive entertainment such as TV, Internet and video games. It is expected that these guidelines can improve childrenÍ s cardio-respiratory fitness, cardiovascular and metabolic health, bone health and body composition. The report also recommends children be physically active at least 60 minutes per day and spend at least 30 minutes per day outdoors in nearby parks, playgrounds or open spaces. The Center for Disease Control likewise encourages children to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week, preferably daily in healthy outdoor activities in nature and parks. In the Surgeon General’s 2010 report, “Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation” it advises children to be physically active at least one hour a day through age-appropriate, enjoyable activities such as hiking, bicycling, climbing trees or going to the park. Studies indicate physical activity allows kids to burn off pentup energy which creates a calming effect while increasing blood flow to the brain.

What happened to bikes?

I realize it is not the season to mention ï going to schoolÍ , however it is a most appropriate time to talk about biking. At most local schools, there have been far more student cars in the parking lots than bikes! In fact, many schools no longer provide bike racks because so few students use bikes. Twenty years ago, children routinely moved around their neighborhoods by foot or by bicycle, and they often used bikes to travel to and from school. It is no longer the case. Up through the 1960s, many schools were located in the center of most communities. In fact, by 1969, 48 percent of children 5 to 14 years of age usually walked or bicycled to school. By 2009, less than 13 percent of children 5 to 14 years of age walked or bicycled to school. ,Q SH UFH QW R I FKLOG UH QLQJ UDG H V . OLY H G Z LWKLQR QH mile of school and 89 percent of these children usually walked or bicycled to school. By 2009, only 31 percent of students between kindergarten and 8th grade lived within one mile of school, and less than 35 percent of these children usually walked or bicycled to school. A common refrain from todayÍ s high schoolers is ñ ItÍ simply not cool to ride a bike to school.î How did it happen? Parents have become more convinced that is unsafe for their children to walk or bicycle to school, and there has also been a substantial increase in the number of two and three car families. From the 1940Í s through the 1970Í s, the majority of American families owned just a single vehicle. However, vehicle ownership continued to rise as the number of wage, earning parents steadily increased throughout the 1970Í s, 80Í s and 90Í s. By 2005, nearly 65 percent of all American households with children had 2 or more vehicles in their driveway. It is estimated that parents driving their students to school now comprise up to 25 percent of morning rush hour traffic. Maybe it is time to get back on the bike, for both our health and education.
