FESTIVE DRESS

This Week WILLSBORO

Flood recovery continues

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ With one road still closed as the result of several consecutive days of heavy rainfall, the Essex County Board of Supervisors started talking about what would be needed to fix the damages.

Director of Emergency Services Don Jaquish estimated that around 30 roads throughout the county were closed during the recent rash of heavy rains, which caused flash flooding throughout the county and sent Lake Champlain less than 4 inches away from flood stage, with heavy rain still in the forecast.

“There are still five towns with states of emergency in place,Ó Jaquish said during the July 8 Public Safety Committee meeting. The towns include Chesterfield, Willsboro, Keene, Jay and Elizabethtown, where Hurricane Mountain Lane remained closed to non-essential traffic.

WILLSBORO Ñ Last year, Ron Jackson was on hand when Willsboro Central School inducted the members of local emergency squads and fire departments into its Wall of Distinction.

This year, Jackson himself received the same honor at the beginning of the 2013 Commencement ceremony at Willsboro June 21. Ò Ron has dedicated his life to many organizations in Willsboro and Essex,Ó Superintendent Stephen Broadwell said. Ò He is constantly searching for new ways to serve the community.Ó Ò It is truly and honor to be selected for the Wall of Distinction,Ó Jackson said.

In wake of Quebec, county discuses plans for derailments

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Freight trains carrying all sorts of materials pass through the North Country every day, including oil and ethanol.

Recently, local firefighters got the chance to train on containing an ethanol tanker fire in Willsboro, which replayed in the mind of Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish who saw the weekend scenes from Quebec.

A 73-car train carrying oil derailed in the town of Lac-Megantic, Que. on July 6, causing multiple explosions of the flammable liquid, leading to more than 2,000 evacuations and five confirmed fatalities as of July 8, with around 40 people reported missing.

Jaquish said during the July 8 Public Safety Committee meeting that while local fire departments recently trained for this situation, it would

be difficult to contain a derailment and explosion of that magnitude.

“We did the training in Willsboro on ethanol fires so we are prepared for a situation just like this one,Ó Jaquish said. Ò But it is expensive. The foam that is used costs around $40 a gallon. We have not had a derailment in a number of years but if that train were to derail here, then there would be a significant risk.” Ò If you had the magnitude of what happened in Quebec to have happened here, you would not have enough fire trucks in Essex County to take care of it,Ó Wilmington Supervisor and committee chairman Randy Preston said.

Jaquish said that there are two trains that run through the North Country each day that are 100 cars long and transport oil and ethanol. Ò You are basically talking about a pipeline on wheels,Ó Jaquish said. Ò They do not come right out and tell us what they are hauling, and they say that it is a matter of security. We do know that there is one oil

train and an ethanol train.Ó Jaquish said they head north full and return empty. However, he cautioned that Ò emptyÓ means having 10 percent or less capacity in the tanks, meaning they could still pose a major threat if there were a derailment.

be appointed Deputy Attorneys General, giving them broad-based authority to investigate all matters that Ò involve public peace, public safety, and public justice.Ó Ò It gives us a broader scope as to what we can do in investigations and subpoena powers,Ó Sprague said. The commission will have the power to subpoena and examine witnesses under oath as well as subpoena any nec-

essary records.

The Commission will issue a preliminary report on its initial findings and recommendations

by Dec. 1.

Commission members also include Franklin County DA Derek P. Champagne and Warren County DA Kathleen B. Hogan.

Sprague said that the commission will start meeting this week to layout the groundwork of short and long-term goals and agendas.

Members of Cub Scout Pack 63 held their annual Pinewood Derby Car Competition June 12 in Westport. Gage Perry of Mineville was the winner of the event, with Tomasi Vaiciulis of Westport finishing second and Ethan Madill of Mineville finishing third.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ During the opening of the Keene Volunteer Fire Department station, Gov. Andrew Cuomo mentioned that Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague would be Ò helping me to root out corruption in Albany.Ó “That was the first time I had heard anything about it,Ó said Sprague, who was named to the Commission to Investigate Public Corruption July 2. Ò We had worked together on legislation with DNA and some other items before, but I really did not know what he was talking about until we went down for the press conference. I think that it will be interesting, for sure. I am going to get to see the real Albany.Ó The commission was formed under the Moreland Act and Executive Law Section 63(8) to probe systemic public corruption and the appearance of such corruption in state government, political campaigns and elections in New York state. Ò We were presented with a two-prong plan of action,Ó Sprague said. “The first is to start investigating and enforcing the laws that are already in existence.

The second is to look at reforms that can be made to laws or the drafting of new laws to give the state a better grasp over corrup-

tion.Ó Sprague said that the reforms were focused on campaign finance regulations. Ò Where are they getting their funds from and are they doing so and reporting those funds correctly is a main part of what we are looking at,Ó she said.

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced members of the commission would also

Wild Character Brook Trout Eat Breakfast, too A proud native of our own Adirondacks, the brook trout is New York’s official State Fish (how about that?) In fact, our waters contain genetically unique strains of brook trout: the tough Little Tupper Lake bunch www.exploringnature.org has survived longer than others because it’s resistant to the effects of acid rain. Brook trout need cool, clean water yearround to survive. The best reason to love brook trout? Their favorite menu is black fly: tartare, flambeed, or baked for dinner, and river-bred freshly-laid eggs for breakfast. Scrambled. (But no coffee). Another reason we’re so...

Two wonderful events to celebrate animals will be happening right next door to each other on July 20. WeÕ ll have more details to share about our Grand Opening very soon, but we promise it will be FUN for the whole family!

Crane Mountain Valley will be having their 10th Anniversary Open House, Tack and Equipment Sale, to include a silent auction, on Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Our friends Wendy and Steve Hall from Adirondack Wildlife Refuge will be on site with some of their rescued raptors, and the North Country SPCA (just down the road) will be holding the Grand Opening of their new facility. ItÕ s all about animals that day!!! We are currently looking for donated items for the silent auction, for sale or consignment, and volunteers to help.

Speaking of the library the ChildrenÕ s Summer Reading program is going on now every Monday in July starting at 10 a.m. This yearÕ s theme is Ò Dig into ReadingÓ with topics including Ò the dirt on dirtÓ , Ò how dirt is usefulÓ , Ò dirt moversÓ , and Ò Under the Earth.Ó The program is free and always a lot of fun.

While at the library be sure to visit the ongoing Art show and sale featuring the photographs of Lynn Manning in a show entitled Ò Room for ViewsÓ running now through Aug. 8. Art shows at the library are always wonderful and very much worth a visit.

When she first arrived at the shelter a few months ago, she could not even be walked with another dog - since that time, she has made incredible progress and now even has a best friend! With just a little bit of effort, Brandy acts like a perfect lady during her walks. Brandy is a beautiful girl who wants a person of her own. Although Brandy is learning to get along well with other dogs, we do recommend that she be adopted into a home without cats. Brandy has been sponsored by a generous donor, so she is FREE to adopt!

Again went to visit Wickham Marsh and got to see several turtles sunning themselves on logs out in the marsh. I did see much less garbage lying around which was great. Also noticed the Lake is quite high still which raised the level of the Marsh quite a bit. Definitely worth a visit especially with all the beautiful tiger lilies blooming on the road side. Enjoy.

olin Ducolon, a long time summer resident, recently took it upon himself to spruce up the garden behind the town hall. In appreciation of his efforts, the Essex Beautification Committee conferred on him the rarely awarded and highly coveted title of Ò Honorary Member.Ó This Saturday, the Belden Noble Library will have a food sale from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in front of the post office.

Next Wednesday, July 17, Robin Gucker, the kindergarten teacher at Lakeside School, will offer a class at the school on painting on silk.

Using gutta resists and dyes, youÕ ll learn how to apply pigment to silk to create scarves, wall hangings and the like. The class is from 6 to 9 p.m. and costs $25, which includes materials.

Lakeside School is on Leaning Road, just up the hill from Whallonsburg. Gutta is a latex like material used to control the dyes, and is also found in electrical insulation and in dental applications. More information on the class can be found at lakesideschoolinessex.org.

Also July 17, organist Andrew Sheranian of Boston will perform at the Essex Community Church. His concert starts at 7:30 p.m.; the cost is $10 for adults.

the town highway crew busy. One day last week the Boquet came out of its banks and washed away a section of Loukes Lane, isolating Juniper Hill Farm. At 6:30 a.m. the next morning, the water had gone down and the road crew was there with dump trucks and a grader, quickly reopening the road. Their prompt efforts were very much appreciated.

My friendly neighbors here on Jersey Street at Reber Rock Farm recently opened an on-farm retail store. You can buy their chicken, maple syrup, soap, note cards and vegetables, with more items to come. Racey, Chad and Nathan are all alumni of Essex Farm and are operating the place with draft horses. You can read all about their business at their website, reberrockfarm.com, or better yet, just stop by and say hello.

Speaking of Essex Farm, their contribution to the Fouth of July parade was most entertaining. Their tractor drawn float carried a troupe of dancers with a drummer wailing away on a full set of drums. In front of the reviewing stand, the drummer, a tall scarecrow-like figure, jumped off the float and lit three torches on fire, which he then skillfully juggled right there on Main Street. The flames, smoke and showmanship truly delighted the crowd.

Just a lot of events to celebrate, then the big birthday of our Nation July 4 with so many family and friends back with us, it was great. Essex does a great job of making the Fourth of July event a special time and this takes a lot of work to put this together and so often do not get any words of appreciation, well I say thanks for all that took place last Thursday. I find it great to be an American and each year at this birthday time to take the time to reflect on all the blessings that come with being an American citizen.

It was a great party for Audrey Dickerson given by her family on the occasion of her 100th Birthday, she looks great and gets around better than some of us younger ones in the community. It was also great to celebrate

Gibson Brothers set lineup with hire of new mandolin player Band returns to NY for Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The North CountryÕ s own Gibson Brothers bluegrass band will return to New York state for performances July 19 at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival with a new mandolin player after giving a July 4 concert at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

On June 19, the Gibson Brothers announced that Jesse Brock will replace Joe Walsh as the bandÕ s full-time mandolin player. Ò We welcome Jesse and wish Joe the best in his future endeavors,Ó the Gibson Brothers said in a statement.

Walsh announced in April that he would be leaving the band after more than four years on the road and playing on the past three albums recorded at Compass Records in Nashville, including the latest, Ò They Called It Music.Ó Brock is the 2009 International Bluegrass Music Association Mandolin Player of the Year and is no stranger to the Gibson Brothers, having played with them in concerts in the past. He has also played with Lynn Morris, Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper, Chris Jones, and Audie Blaylock and Redline. Brock began playing with his family Ñ the C.W. Brock Family Band Ñ at age 9 and debuted at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville at the age of 11.

While they were contemplating WalshÕ s replacement this spring, the Gibson Brothers toured with guest mandolin players such as Jesse Cobb,

Summer hunger a growing Real life versus virtual reality problem in this region B

A

s you read this, there are hungry children nearby.

While itÕ s not often discussed, nearly a quarter of all American children live in poverty. Many children in the North Country are in a similar situation.

Poverty is defined by the federal government based on income and household size. A family of four earning $22,113 or less a year meets the poverty threshold. The income level rises to $26,023 for a family of five and so on.

According to the census, 16.4 million children now live in poverty in the United States.

ThatÕ s 22 percent of all American children, the highest percentage since 1959.

According to the New York State Community Action AssociationÕ s 2012 poverty report, 20.3 percent of Essex County children live in poverty. In Washington County 19.5 percent of children live in poverty, in Warren County 16 percent and Clinton County 16.1 percent.

Poverty Ñ at least in the North Country Ñ seems to be a silent problem. But those who see it know itÕ s children who suffer the most.

Earlier this year John McDonald, Ticonderoga school superintendent, pleaded with Dede Scozzafava, deputy secretary of state for local government, to take greater action to alleviate rural poverty. Ò ThereÕ s a lot of attention focused on poverty in our state, but itÕ s focused on urban poverty,Ó McDonald said. Ò I submit that rural poverty is worse. We need to focus on rural poverty as much as urban poverty. Ò Poverty is a problem everywhere, thereÕ s no denying it,Ó McDonald said. Ò But a poor person in New York City can go to a shelter (for heat) or a soup kitchen (for food). Even poor kids can go to museums and libraries if they choose to.

Our kids are isolated. They donÕ t have those opportunities.Ó Nearly a quarter of Ticonderoga students Ñ 23 percent Ñ live in poverty. That makes Ti the 623rd poorest district in the state. There are 684 districts. Crown Point is close. It has a poverty rate of 22.4 percent and ranks 618th.

Of course, poverty leads to hunger. Childhood hunger is especially a problem during the summer months. Many children who get free or reduced breakfast and lunch while attending school are now without those meals. ThatÕ s 10 meals a week theyÕ re missing.

Fortunately, the United State Department of

AgricultureÕ s summer food service program is available in the region for children who can get to distribution sites. Meals are provided to all children 18 years and younger.

Essex County has Ò open sitesÓ at CV-Tech in Mineville, Moriah Central School in Port Henry and at Ticonderoga Elementary School. Ò Open sitesÓ serve all children.

Essex County also has Ò closed sitesÓ at the Bloomingdale Fire House, Petrova Elementary School in Saranac Lake, Noblewood in Willsboro and Crown Point Central School. Ò Closed sitesÓ serve income-eligible children. Children who are part of households that receive food stamps or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families are automatically eligible to receive free meals. For more information, call Essex County Community Resources at 873-3632.

Clinton County also offers the USDA summer food service program at the Evergreen Town House Community Center and the Ted K. Center in Plattsburgh. For more information, contact the Clinton County Social Services Department at 565-3370.

In Warren County children get lunch at East Field 11:30 to 12:30 each day through a program operated by the Action Committee for Economic Opportunity, the county and BOCES. These summer food programs are vital to the health and well being of our children. Our thanks to those who administer and operate them. Ñ

Letters to the Editor

Acting American To the Valley News: Is someone who is doing little or nothing of value with his time and energy, as the rule not the exception, creating anything to be proud of, as an American? In my experience, in the absence of substance, people in a group jump to take sides, so that they can say, Ò IÕ m... (something), so as to NOT feel empty or left out.

They want to be a part of something important. In the midst of routine absence of action using a word in a wishful way over and over becomes vacuous. Our soldiers in WWII new and felt they were fighting for freedom, family, safety against evil, and (you fill in additional values and aspirations). We take so much for granted today that we donÕ t feel the value. So, too often we plug in the word, American, knowing that it is supposed to represent something we all can value together. We end up feeling and being together around largely nothing but a word, a word that used to mean something, So Much that we could feel proud of, and even die for. I can imagine the anger that may come my way after saying this, but will it be righteous anger, or simple defense of self and ego?

What will it take to get most of us, not only our military, back to being and acting AMERICAN in place of just saying?

Keep kids active To the Valley News: School vacations, backyard barbeques, and lazy days Ð all signs of summer. However, summer is also a great time for children to be active. An estimated one in three children are overweight or obese according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Physical inactivity has been linked to an increased risk of obesity- related illnesses such as Type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and certain cancers. Type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure, usually thought of as adult disease, are now showing up in youth.

The US Department of Health and Human ServicesÕ Physical Activity Guidelines for children recommend one hour or more

of physical activity every day. This hour of active play can be broken up in to smaller segments for families who have a busier schedule, but the key is to find an activity that kids will enjoy doing. Some kids may love to bike around their neighborhoods with their friends, others may enjoy swimming, extreme Frisbee, or just going to their local park to play on the equipment.

We all have a role helping our kids grow to be healthy, strong adults. Several of the areaÕ s Recreation departments feature summer activities that kids can get involved with for free, or a small fee. Access to this information can be found by going through your townÕ s website, or the town hall. Parents are an important influence on kids in staying active by modeling appropriate behavior. Going out and playing soccer or staying active with our kids is a great start to lasting memories and healthier bodies for children and adults alike.

Planning for future of Etown To the Valley News: WeÕ re all comfortable with what we know. ItÕ s change that we fear. But change is happening all around us, every minute of every day. We canÕ t stop change and we canÕ t hide from it. But we can plan for it.

In the year 2000, Elizabethtown had 1,315 people. By the 2010 census, we had lost 152 people and dropped to 1,163, a decrease of 12 percent. It was the largest population decline in Essex County. Fewer people mean fewer customers, and failing businesses. In the past several months our town lost a used furniture store and Wilson’s Appliance/Radio Shack on Water Street.

Apartments remain vacant and houses go unsold.

In August the Town Board starts planning for 2014. WeÕ re almost half way through the second decade, and by 2020, just six years from now, our town will have changed even more. If we loose another 12 percent of our people, weÕ ll be at 1,023. Fewer people mean loss of retail stores, restaurants and services. Emp-

ty buildings and vacant lots donÕ t pay taxes. Unused properties turn ugly when theyÕ re not cared for. This is the kind of change we should all fear, the kind of change that drives people and businesses away.

What we need to do is to attract people to Elizabethtown, welcome people who will support our businesses by shopping here, eating here, and buying homes. We need young families with children to keep our school alive (school population dropped 25 percent in 10 years). People with kids like playgrounds, parks and child friendly sports. Families spend money in our stores and restaurants, and buy homes with plenty of room to play.

These families hire plumbers and carpenters, and theyÕ ll buy paint and tools at the hardware store. More people will mean more businesses opening, and fewer shops closing.

These newcomers are not strangers and we shouldnÕ t fear them. They may be our children or our grandchildren, or retirees who have vacationed here for years and fell in love with Elizabethtown. They’ll join our fire company, support our churches and best of all, they will pay a share of the taxes. But people and businesses wonÕ t come to a town of empty stores, crumbling houses and vacant lots.

What is the future of Elizabethtown? Do we have an idea? Do we have a plan? Or will we just let things happen? Will we be better or worse in 2020? If we want to survive, we need to plan for the future, a plan that we will create, and a vision of what we want Elizabethtown to be in a decade. This is the only way weÕ ll have control over our own future.

The Chamber of Commerce encourages and promotes our businesses. The Town Board has the legal responsibility to approve or disapprove the plan drafted by our Planning Board, but the ideas in it have come from the people of our town. Many folks have told me they would like to have a carwash, a Laundromat, a Deli, a sporting goods store, a bakery, high speed internet beyond the hamlet, cable TV, better cell phone coverage, better parking and more jobs.

No government can bring these services to us. Only a vital and growing community will attract the kinds of businesses we want. The future is in our hands. What happens in the next decade is up to us. Doing nothing will only guarantee failure.

Margaret Bartley Supervisor Town of Elizabethtown

Ò They had to back a train up into Willsboro and bus people around a washout between Willsboro and Chesterfield,” Jaquish said.

The state is already planning to visit the area with a federal representative. Ò The state wants to schedule visits with FEMA representative,Ó Jaquish said. Ò The threshold for a presidential declaration of emergency is $26 million. I am not sure where our numbers are right now, but I know that we are close.Ó Jay Supervisor and county chairman Randy Douglas said he

was hopeful the state and federal government would take into consideration the length of time heavy rains have been hitting the region. Ò Hopefully they will include all of June and that is the request that I put in to the governor’s office,” Douglas said. “The first word that I heard back was that they were not going to be able to push the date back.Ó Ò When they asked me to start doing the estimates that they told me to go from June 1 through June 30,Ó Jaquish replied.

Despite the rain, Jaquish said that work on the new county radio system substations was continuing. Ò Even with all the rain, the work is really starting to move on the radio project,Ó he said.

The ‘A’ team is the ‘Bee’ team!

Some old, but not so familiar, fishing streams

L

ast week, I spent a day traveling around some old familiar grounds up and down the Pleasant Valley of the Boquet River.

Initially, I had intended to spend most of my time fishing on the Boquet’s smaller tributaries such as BartonÕ s Brook, The Branch, Black River, Spruce Mill Brook, Roaring Brook and the North Branch.

Unfortunately, by the time I made it over the hill to Elizabethtown, the Boquet was already at flood stage, and even the smaller streams were swollen and fast.

I took a few casts, just for old times sake, but the canoe remained strapped to the top of my vehicle all day.

I did manage to find a few deep holes, where some brookies were active and my line wasnÕ t swept downstream immediately. Fortunately, the heavy rains had not disturbed a series of small beaver dams that I decided to visit, and I was rewarded with a couple of hours worth of productive fishing.

However, by the time I finally left, I was far wetter than the fish I was catching. My hands looked like a pair of pale prunes, and I was soaked through to the bone.

Over the course of the dayÕ s outing, I was astounded to discover the extent of the spread of invasive species, most notably the Japanese Knotweed.

Although I knew the problem existed along the Boquet River, especially from the Elizabethtown Fish and Game Club downstream to Willsboro, I was shocked to discover large swaths of knotweed upstream of Elizabethtown, especially on The Branch which has always been one of my favorite streams.

The Branch always runs cold, even during the heat of the summer. From its headwaters high on the shoulders of Hurricane Mountain, the tumbling, babbling little brook has long provided outstanding angling opportunities, even when the trout become slow and sluggish in the wider rivers below.

According to DEC fisheries reports, The Branch remains one of the most productive waters in the state for wild rainbow trout.

The naturally spawned rainbows have always been a joy to catch as they readily display the acrobatic maneuvers of fish many times their size. And the beauty of their vermillion side panels are worth every bit of energy that is expended in the rock-hopping obstacle course that provides a route up the creek to access their hiding holes.

Of course, the stream also provides a wealth of swimming holes as well, of which US Falls is by far the most popular. It seems like it was only a few years ago that I first discovered knotweed along the banks of the small stream, well below the Footbridge Park in Elizabethtown.

It seemed odd to see knotweed just below US Falls just a year later. ItÕ s easy to understand how knotweek could be washed downstream with the highwater events of recent years. However, I couldnÕ t understand how the weed was able to advance up the stream, when the water flows down the stream.

However, over the last few years, the stalky, bamboo like weed has managed to spread far above US Falls, and it has now advanced well upstream of the Hurricane Mountain Bridge on Route 9N. It is an ugly sight to behold, with large patches of the plant straddling and strangling the stream in some places. Often, it is difficult to find a decent hole in which to cast a fly.

Unlike tag alders, which have long been the bane of many small creek anglers; knotweed can actually choke off the entire channel of smaller streams. When it does so, it is nearly impossible to find enough open water to land a fly.

The pervasive invasive has also supplanted many of the native ferns that once grew think along the BoquetÕ s riverbanks. In one particular section of the Boquet near where the outlet of Barbers Pond joins the flow, the riverbanks were once thick with tall ferns that grew to impressive height.

It may be that in my diminutive years as a youth, the ferns just seemed larger than they actually were.

But even as an adult, the fields of ferns stood tall enough to be at eye level.

Today, those vast fields of tall ferns are all but gone.

The old floodplains now resemble what I imagine the South Pacific jungles all look like. It is sad to discover

my old familiar stomping grounds no longer familiar.

And still with each passing year, the nasty knotweed continues to climb higher up the streams, and into the pristine valleys where it will weigh heavy on the shoulders of the mountains I once knew so well.

I sometimes wonder if the wrath of the wicked weed will eventually supplant our native white pines, or the majestic maples? WouldnÕ t it be horrible, to have to hack out a fresh route in order to return to HurricaneÕ s old tower?

It was a sad occasion for me to return home, and to realize itÕ s no longer the old familiar place where I once could roam at will.

I guess my time would be better spent chasing after warm water species such as largemouth bass or northern pike, as the negative impacts of climate change and invasive species begin to affect even the small stream fisheries.

But as most of the small stream, wild fish aficionados know all too well, it isnÕ t the size of the prize that matters. ItÕ s a matter of its beauty!

Invasives in the Park

It is only fitting that this week kicks off events surrounding The Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP) training sessions for terrestrial invasive plant management.

Over the course of the week, experts will be providing a series of workshops on how to manage troublesome invasive plants, such as Japanese knotweed and garlic mustard.

Participants will learn how to identify common invasive terrestrial plants and how to apply effective management techniques on their own lands. The training will include presentations and in-field demonstrations. Landowners, landscapers, gardeners, resource managers and highway department staff are encouraged to attend.

The sessions are free and will be held July 25 at the Bolton Town Hall in Bolton from 10 a.m. Ð 12 p.m., RSVP by July 18; and, Tuesday, Aug. 13 at the North Elba Town Hall in Lake Placid from 1 p.m. Ð 3 p.m., RSVP by Aug. 6. Walk-ins are welcome, but RSVP is requested to Billy Martin at 518-576-2082 x 120 or wmartin@tnc.org.

Currently, there are more than 40 varieties of invasive plants invading the local woods, wetlands and waters of the Adirondacks. These infestations will continue to affect both public and private lands, and the landowners and land users who will continue to struggle with how to manage them.

APIPPÕ s terrestrial invasive plant management training sessions will inform participants about appropriate and effective management techniques.

The Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program is a partnership program whose mission is to protect the Adirondack region from the negative impacts of nonnative invasive species. Find out more information about APIPP online at www.adkinvasives.com or call Billy Martin, APIPP Summer Educator at 518-5762082 x 120.

Roger Burkert and his wife Linda of Ringoes, N.J. were fishing with Captain Jim Hotaling of Trolling Tina Charters on Lake Champlain, fishing out of Willsboro, NY, when he caught and released this massive 18-pound 11-ounce Lake Trout on June 20, 2013. Roger said this was his second largest laker that he has caught. His largest was in Canada and was 25-pounds 5-ounces. His previous largest New York Lake Trout, was 18-pounds 1-ounce and was caught in the Niagra River. Roger is quite the sportsman to release such a fish.

very once in a while a grandfather has to discuss life with his grandsons. Yes, we need to discuss the birds and the bees.

And I do mean the birds and the bees. Especially the bees.

There is a great concern about the loss of pollinating insects like the honey bee and its effect on agriculture. Our area of the country is not as critical as the midwest. Their loss of local plant diversity, pesticide overuse, drainage of potholes, vernal pools and wetlands, along with habitat loss are all culprits.

In the midwest the farm fields consist of hundreds and hundreds of acres of the same crop

By Rich Redman broken up only by a road pattern based on the survey system of sections. A section is a square of 640 acres, or one mile by one mile. There could be one field of 640 acres of corn, divided by a road, and then another 640 acres of corn, creating a checkerboard affect on the fairly flat prairie ground when viewed out a plane window at 20,000 feet. Because the soil is so fertile, the land is farmed from fence row to fence row and roadway to roadway.

Our part of the country uses a meets and bounds survey, where the land was broken up by measurements to the center of streams, to a large tree or whatever, to create a A honey bee, shown here at the middle of the boundary in the rolling forested hill frame, pollinates a flower.

Conservation

Conversations

Photo by Diane Redman and mountain country. ThatÕ s why our property lines meander all over the place and are not square like out west. We also have more water and streams so they were easy to set as boundaries way back. Many town, county or state boundaries are based on streams or rivers.

Anyway, letÕ s get back to the birds and bees!

We need to remember our food comes from plants that flower and get pollinated by the bees, butterflies, and other insects. Ninety percent of the flowering plants and one third of the human crop foods need animal pollinators for their reproduction.

Apples, raspberries, onions, celery, beets, broccoli, cabbage, peppers, alfalfa, watermelons, tangerines, almonds, elderberries, blueberries, grapes, squash, cantaloupe, strawberries, and tomatoes all need pollinators along with a long list of other plants.

Pollination technically is: Ò the process by which pollen is transferred in the reproduction of plants, thereby enabling fertilization and sexual reproduction,Ó according to Wikipedia. Pollen grains containing male gametes (sperm) which get transported to the stigma, which is part of a double fertilization process, which I am not going into. You get the drift!

There are two types of pollination; abiotic and biotic.

Abiotic pollination is by the wind. Ten percent of the flowering plants get pollinated by wind.

Ninety percent of the work is left to other animals through biotic pollination.

Pollinators like the honey bee, bumblebee, butterfly, hummingbird, dung fly, wasp, midges, beetles, spiders and ants all make it possible for us to survive on this planet. The superstars of pollination are the honey bee and bumblebee. These two are the beasts of burden or the Ò AÓ team of pollen transfer in our area.

So what can you do to improve the habitat for the Ò AÓ team?

The greatest thing you can do is have a variety of flowering trees, shrubs and flowers around your property to provide food for the bees throughout the growing season.

By having flowering plants that bloom throughout the season, you are providing food for the pollinators. Remember bees need to store food away in their hives so they make it through the winter.

Plants for nectar, which I was told by a knowledgeable Wadhams, NY area bee keeper include: white sweet clover, white clover, alsike clover, alfalfa, buckwheat, basswood trees, red maples, willows, box elders, black locust, honeysuckle, raspberries, goldenrod, asters, trefoil, and many others. Make sure you have a variety of plants that bloom throughout the spring, summer and fall seasons to insure a long lasting food supply.

The second Ò AÓ team helper is having a source of water nearby, like a vernal pool, an open pond or wetland with a shallow water beach like area. Here the pollinators can easily get a drink. I can hear it now; he wants me to create a bee, beach area. Habitat is mainly about food, water and then shelter.

Shelter can be dead standing trees, exposed dry sandy dirt banks, and nonmowed areas. You can manage your land by creating habitat in hedge rows. Harvesting the non-flowering and non- mast trees for firewood and planting wild apple or other flowering trees and shrubs in their place will provide pollen for the bees. Releasing apple trees and having openings in the woods provide habitat, along with leaving a few standing dead trees for nests.

Thinning out wetland and riparian stream bank areas allows sun light so a diversity of plants can grow.

You need a mix of grasses, forbs, shrubs and trees. Leaving some standing grassy and shrubby areas provides shelter for bees and other pollinators. So park the mower and leave a strip of clovers, birds foot trefoil, dandelions, and other wildflowers along the road, driveway, or along sunny woods edges to provide food and cover for wildlife. More than just pollinators will benefit from doing this.

Reducing the use of bee and wasp sprays and insecticides around the garden and home will also allow populations to thrive. Nobody wants to get stung by a wasp, but they have a purpose so try and keep some around.

Who cares, you ask? With the growing demand toward local foods, and less foreign imports of fruits and vegetables you need to care. Homeland security is being independent on all fronts; fuel, food, fiber, manufacturing, etc. The US farm economy not only feeds our population, but it also helps feed other nations as well.

Keeping our agronomic potential high and environmentally sound is vital to our well-being as a country.

Pollinators supply the ability for plants to reproduce. No reproduction equals no food! So this is not just about the birds and the bees, itÕ s about our own survival as well. So plant a diversity of flowers, trees and shrubs, and manage your land.

Clinton County Fair to host Lorrie Morgan

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The 66th Annual Clinton County Fair promises to deliver a non-stop musical experience in addition to the annual fun and excitement of the week-long event from July 16 through 21 at the fairgrounds, 84 Fair Grounds Road.

Clinton County Fair Manager Glenn Gillespie said there will be non-stop fun kicking off with opening day. Ò Tickets will be half price at opening day, and there will be free parking, free grandstand entry, an evening fireworks show and carnival rides will be free from noon to 1 p.m.,Ó said Gillespie.

Major highlights for the fair will be the animals, entertainment, rides and horse shows.

Lorrie Morgan will perform on Wednesday, July 17.

Morgan is a platinum-selling country music artist whose hits include Ò Five MinutesÓ and Ò What Part of No.Ó Morgan was also voted female vocalist of the year by the fans in TNNÕ s (The Nashville Network) Music City News Awards in 1994, 1996, 1997 and 1998. Ò The phone hasnÕ t stopped ringing since we announced Lorrie would be performing,Ó said Gillespie. Ò SheÕ s definitely generated a lot of buzz, and weÕ ve sold a lot of tickets but we still have plenty left.Ó Another gem to add to the grandstand lineup is country music artist Greg Bates to perform on July 18 at 8 p.m.

BatesÕ s hit singles include, Ò I did it for the Girl.Ó Ò There will be music at all times all over the fairgrounds,Ó said Gillespie. Ò If you walk into the Clinton County Fair Grounds and you donÕ t hear anything,

there is a problem.Ó The grounds host a variety of activities, exhibits and classes through the week.

Rides will be open from noon to midnight. For $20 visitors can get a wristband to ride for the entire day.

Gillespie said the fair is made possible by the participation of many community members, including a partnership with Relay for Life. Ò For the past few years, members of the Relay for Life volunteer to maintain all of the fairgrounds bathrooms, keeping them clean behind the scenes for everyone,Ó said Gillespie. Ò In return, we donate money every year to put toward cancer research.Ó Some of the major highlights of the fair are the childrenÕ s activities. Ò Kids have such a good time at the fair, and itÕ s all about making memories for them and teaching them about agriculture,Ó said Gil-

lespie.

There will be something new every day, with daily activities for people to enjoy all week.

New this year will be Adirondack Coast Wine Tasting from our local wineries; along with maple syrup, cheese and vegetables. The tasting room will be open daily from 2 to 10 p.m. Ò Here we are going to have a place where people can taste all local products and meet local crafters and artisans in their trade. That is what the fair has always been about,Ó said Gillespie.

General admission is $4 on opening day and $8 a day for the rest of the week. Weeklong season passes are available before July 15 for $30.

Seniors get in free on Friday.

For full list of show times and prices, go to www.clintoncountyfair.com or call the fair office at 561-7998.

Camp Dudley hosted its annual Fourth of July Parade with several local fire departments participating. The camp served over 100 breakfasts to those volunteers who came to the parade.
