SARANAC LAKE „ North Country Community College President Steve Tyrell July 15 gave his second address to the Essex County supervisors about the annual progress of the college and said there needs to be more of a push from area schools to encourage their students to get their degrees locally. ñ For programs and areas of study where students can get the same degree here as out of the area, they should be encouraged to stay in the Park,î said Tyrell.

Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said after the meeting that many parents might be hesitant to encourage their students to stay. ñ Many parents want their kids to use college as a way to branch out and experience life outside of where they grew up,î said Bartley.

Tyrell said enrollment has fluctuated with many seeking educational institutions outside the Adirondack Park. ñ Where we are seeing drops in enrollment are students are not returning and finishing their education here,” said Tyrell.

He noted that students are either leaving NCCC to finish their education elsewhere or are simply not coming back. ñ The numbers I am most concerned with are not the number of students leaving but the number of students who arenÍ t even coming to pursue a college education,î Tyrell said. ñ We want to focus our efforts on getting those potential students into the school.î The president presented a $14,625,300 NCCC budget for the 2013-2014 academic year.

Several strategic initiatives are being introduced and specifically funded as a foundation for future growth in academic

programs, enhanced retention as well as supporting remediation and individual student development needs.

The effort to introduce the strategic initiatives combined with a pause in enrollment growth requires partial use of fund balance to support the steps of the 20132014 year.

It is anticipated that the growth of the academic programs and increase in the retention rate will eliminate the need to draw from the fund balance in future years.

Jay Supervisor and Board Chairman Randy Douglas said improvements at the Saranac Lake campus are needed.

The Saranac Lake branch has not undergone cosmetic or technological improvements in more than 20 years, and Tyrell said he hopes in the near future the college community will form a plan to put

A special swim Brother, sister duo follow in dad’s footsteps

By Claire Durham

denpubs@denpubs.com WILLSBORO „ On a warm Tuesday, July 9, a brother-and sister duo swam the 8-mile stretch between Willsboro Point, New York and Shelburne Point, Vermont.

Matthew Weiskotten, 26, and Shauna Weiskotten, 24, were recreating a special swim, while their mother, father, and sister followed them in a motorboat. ñ About 22 years ago, my dad swam across the lake and so for a long time, I wanted to see if I could do it,î Matt said. ñ I remember him [my dad] setting out and just looking across the lake and thinking ï thereÍ s no way somebody could do that, it just seems impossible,Í î Shauna said, ñ and I guess when I got to about [age] 12 or something it occurred to me that ï hey maybe I could do that too.Í î Their father, Ron Weiskotten, swam across the lake on July 23, 1991. ñ I remember the stretch between the Four Brother [Islands] and Juniper seemed like a long stretch, and then one of the things I did was I went around the north end of Juniper and Matt and Shauna went around the south end,î Ron said.

After coming around the islands, Ron ended up more in the boating lanes so his wife, Jeanne, who was his guide in the motorboat, stayed close to him to let other boats know where he was. At one point he had to swim out of the way of the Ethan Allen. ñ It wasnÍ t a close call, but you know when you see it coming at you itÍ s interesting,î Ron said.

After making it to Shelburne, Ron remembers how good it felt just to walk up on shore and to know he made his goal. But he didnÍ t fathom that his children, who were 5 and 3 at the time, would follow suit. ñ I never dreamed someday theyÍ d [Matt and Shauna] be doing it like they are and it was wonderful to see them doing it,î Ron said. ñ They kept up a beautiful pace, just going and going and going. They were waiting for each other and at times they were almost swimming almost next to each other and I think that was definitely a benefit.”

To train for the swim, Matt and Shauna built

up their endurance.

Matt works as a lifeguard at his local YMCA so he often swims after work. ñ I have spent the last couple months preparing for this swim by working myself up to 100 laps a day for 5 days a week,î he said.

Shauna was on the JV swim team in high school, so she knew she had to mentally as well as physically prepare to swim that length. ñ I started training around January through maybe half of March, but then I got really busy with job interviewing,î she said, ñ so when I got into the water, I was thinking ï IÍ ll swim along as far as I can.Í î At just after 1 p.m. on Tuesday, they started out from their grandparentÍ s summer home in Willsboro; Matt, clad in just swimming trunks, and Shauna, wearing a swim cap, goggles, and a Speedo swimsuit.

Ron drove the boat, while Jeanne watched them and their sister, Leanna, handed them Gatorade to keep them hydrated. ñ The lake was beautiful, it was nice and calm the whole way. The thing we watched out for was logs but of course at the speed we were going there wasnÍ t much danger,î Ron said.

“At first I was thinking it was too warm, but then I kind of realized once we got past Juniper and the lake was colder, which felt nicer, my muscles started cramping more,î Shauna said, ñ so I was actually grateful that it had been really warm the whole way.î However, some stormy conditions appeared early into the swim. ñ When we got a little ways out, maybe around the [Four Brother] Islands, it started looking more and more stormy toward the New York side and of course the swimmers werenÍ t aware of that, they were too focused on Vermont,î Jeanne said.

They could hear a little bit of thunder, but once past the Four Brother Islands, they could see the storm start to dissipate. But the wind, which had been a very light Southeast wind, suddenly switched a little more to the south. ñ A little bit of waves came up, but then we could see the calm water ahead and they [Matt and Shauna] kept kind of swimming back into the calm water so we stayed out of any major problems,î Jeanne said. ñ For me the hardest part was that my muscles were cramping up because they werenÍ t used to swimming such a long period of time,î Shauna said, ñ so I made sure I drank plenty of water and Gatorade and really focused on mind over matter and relaxing my muscles.î

Pictured from left are Jeanne, Matt, Shauna and Ron Weiskotten. ñ Once I got out to Juniper, I was like ï thereÍ s no way IÍ m not going the whole way now,Í î she added.

Along with keeping watch out for debris in the path of the boat or swimmers, Ron said that he, his wife, and his daughter were constantly on the lookout for boats. ñ We had a couple of jet skies come around and they changed direction quickly,î Ron said, ñ we want to make sure that if somebody starts coming at us, that the boat is between whatever is coming at us and the swimmers.î ñ We did maneuver that way a few times, particularly there was a boat that swung around Shelburne Point and suddenly starting coming at Matt,î he added.

Ron gunned their motorboat and got in between his son and the other watercraft. ñ I donÍ t know which direction they wouldÍ ve

gone but they ended up veering off,î he said, ñ that was probably the biggest surprise because they kind of came out of nowhere and it was a speedboat and they were going pretty good.î The brother and sister made it successfully to Shelburne Point a little after 5 p.m.

Jeanne remembers when Matt got to the other side: he climbed up on the beach just past the point in Shelburne and put his arms up while shouting ñ Yo Adrian I did it,î a line made popular from the movie Rocky. ñ They both kind of whooped as they got to the other side,î Jeanne said.

For the future, both brother and sister arenÍ t sure if theyÍ ll set goals to swim to other points on the lake, but for now Matt summed up the feeling each of them share: ñ I think thatÍ s pretty much it, I might swim across again someday, but I wanted to see if I could make it.î

WCS seeks volunteers for loon census SARANAC LAKE „ The Wildlife Conservation SocietyÍ s Adirondack Program today announced a call for volunteers to help census loons on Adirondack lakes as part of the thirteenth Annual Adirondack Loon Census taking place from 8 to 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 20.

With the help of local Adirondack residents and visitor volunteers, the census enables

WCS to collect important data on the status of the breeding loon population in and around the Adirondack Park and across New York State. The results help guide management decisions and policies affecting loons.

Census volunteers report on the number of adult and immature loons and loon chicks that they observe during the hour-long census. Similar loon

NCCC

From page 1 before the county to give the campus a ñ face-lift.î He said they would like to engage a broader number of students by having them walk into a school that appears more modern to match the value of the education they can receive at NCCC. Branching out to other parts of the communities would be an option. ñ The idea is not to move but co-locate sectors of the college community into the downtown,î said Tyrell.

By intertwining college facilities into the community, Tyrell said it will serve as a corridor to making the two into one community.

The efforts are already being exercised at the Ticonderoga branch with the introduction of new dormitories to be built in a Home of the Original former business facility on Montcalm Avenue.

Two Tone Cone Tyrell also said one way to keep students at the college would be to establish the college as ñ Communiversity.î “Instead of students transferring to a university to finish their 7 days a week education, we could keep our students by bringing in programs 11ish to 9:30 pm that allow them to complete their education at our campuses,î said Tyrell.

Corner of NCCC recommends a $150 increase in the tuition rate, which is 86 and 186 the first increase since the 2011-2012 academic year. There will be Halfway no increase in standard fees.

A

cross the North Country the recent response from our readers about the charges against a Plattsburgh pet store owner for neglect and animal cruelty has shown how much we love our animals.

Many of our readers were angry, concerned, and unhappy with the quality of care given to kittens at the local pet store in Plattsburgh and took to social media to air their unhappiness. ñ This is awful and makes me sick to my stomach,î wrote Jennifer Coupal Dwyer on The BurghÍ s Facebook page.

In the case against Northern Puppies, the store owner Tammy Staley was charged with 20 counts of animal cruelty. Staley was charged for improperly caring for 18 cats, two of which were found dead in the shop. Three other kittens later died in the care of a veterinarian after being willingly surrendered to police. Two additional charges were for not providing two chow dogs, ages 2 and 7, with cages large enough to fit them.

Staley was arrested after medical tests on the kittens showed the cause of death as an intestinal parasite called coccidia. Other health problems included ring worm, malnutrition, ear mites, flees, eye and respiratory infections.

The strong, immediate response from the community was an indicator of just how quick society jumps to the defense of animals who cannot speak for themselves.

A.J. Wells wrote on The BurghÍ s Facebook page: ñ I for one, hope that she never gets her license back to sell pets. SheÍ s not owning any responsibility for this. Her excuse is that it happened because she was away from the store. So, if your child dies when you are ill, itÍ s OK? Ah, NO, you are still responsible. Innocent animals have died and suffered due to this womanÍ s actions! Or should I say inactions?î The law requires that pet dealers offer a legal minimum standard of care to companion animals such as dogs and cats. Animals must be provided housing that is of adequate size and structurally sound and animals must be cared for or humanely euthanized.

In the case of Northern Puppies, Staley argued that she did provide veterinarian care, but said the death of the kittens was out of her hands simply because ñ cats get sick.î She also said that the animals in her care were not looked after because she was away recuperating from an operation at the same time that employees were on vacation.

But those excuses simply do not hold water.

Yes, animals get sick, but it is up to their caregiver to follow through with a proper treatment of medicine to avoid death.

And, all small businesses deal with employees taking vacation or moving on to another job, but it is up to the owner to make sure the shop is covered „ especially when that shop is a pet store. Letting both employees take vacation at the same time and then scheduling an operation during that time was irresponsible, plain and simple.

Clayton Smalley of Plattsburgh had a very similar opinion on The BurghÍ s Facebook page: ñ As the business owner theyÍ re still responsible.

If your pets die because youÍ re not there to care for them itÍ s still your fault. If you were to hire negligent people, itÍ s still your fault. You have all responsibility for the place. Those problems didnÍ t happen overnight.î This pet store is also not new to controversy.

A year ago, photos were posted to Facebook showing animals living in filthy conditions.

At the time, picketers protested in front of the store.

It is good to see people take a stand and speak out in instances of animal abuse, for a whole host of reasons. The most obvious is that they cannot speak for themselves, another is that animal abuse and cruelty is often a predecessor to other crimes like child and spousal abuse „ even murder.

Dr. Harry Hovel, who spoke in May to a group of law enforcement officials in Essex County about investigating animal cruelty, said animal abuse can be a gateway or indicator of other problems, including cruelty to humans.

Therefore it is not just important for animal lovers to be vigilant for cases of animal abuse, but all of society, Hovel pointed out.

It wasnÍ t that long ago that district attorneys refused to prosecute animal abuse. Before that, cases of child and spousal abuse werenÍ t even considered a crime.

But community outrage has changed that thinking, and prosecutors now take a hard stand for those who often cannot stand for themselves.

Frederick Douglass once famously said: “find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them.î It was refreshing to see that people stood up against the injustice that was dealt these animals. In the end, five kittens who were 100 percent dependant on their caregiver lost their lives.

If it werenÍ t for people speaking out about that, their lives would have been quietly lost in vein. „ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Concerned with Comprehensive Plan To the Valley News: ItÍ s been many months since a self-appointed group began work on a Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Elizabethtown.

From the beginning this group insisted that the Plan would not extend beyond the borders of the hamlet of EÍ town and publicly ridiculed any who suggested otherwise.

On June 26 a Comprehensive Plan meeting occurred whereby the Town Board was repeatedly informed that the Plan will indeed be ñ town wide.ï It will include New Russia, and extend as far as the Underwood Club area where a new traffic circle is hoped for.

LPCA to screen film

They still insist that the plan is not a ñ Law ñ so thereÍ s nothing to worry about. However, while it may not technically be a ñ Law,î it will be a Local Ordinance and therefore have the power to influence things from a zoning prospective. A Local Ordinance doesnÍ t require a public vote, only a vote of the Town Board. Only 3 votes are needed to approve. Supervisor Bartley and Councilperson Hatch are strong supporters of this Plan and will likely try to push a vote through this fall, before the elections.

An interesting part of the Plan is a new group called a Conservation Advisory Council ( CAC. ) This new group will advise the Planning Board. Perhaps they will appoint themselves, as the Comprehensive Plan group has done. It sounds like our own local version of the APA and Adirondack Council, which I suspect is exactly what it is.

A complete rework of hamlet zoning is also part of the Plan.

That will start as soon as the Plan is adopted by the Town Board.

For those of you in EÍ town and New Russia who value your

Deadly force To the Valley News: Deadly Force Training in the Border Patrol included direction to meditate on the question: Do you want to be judged by twelve or carried by six? Will all the rich aspects of life ever recover from prosecution for murder? And if not prosecuted and judged not guilty, there is no protection against double jeopardy. The threat will always be there. ThereÍ s no statute of limitation on murder.

Deadly force includes hands, feet weapons, tools, machinery and vehicles. A wicked heart, a criminal mind, a sharp tongue, felony murder and conspiracy.

Lions and tigers and pit bulls, oh my!

By Andy Flynn

Brown „ as an advocate for paddlers and for all who have the right to enjoy the Adirondack Forest Preserve and its navigable waterways „ writes ñ Adirondack Paddlingî with authority.

And heÍ s backed by a well-established team of environmental educators, journalists and outdoor professionals.

•There are breathtaking photos by Brown and other notable Adirondack photographers, such as Carl Heilman II, Mark Bowie, Mike Lynch, Nancie Battaglia, Susan Bibeau and Nancy Ford.

•There are more than a dozen photos of birds found along the waterways taken by noted wildlife photographer Larry Master.

•There are useful maps by Saranac Lake artist Matt Paul.

•And there’s the full support of the co-publisher, the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK), which is the leading publisher of outdoor resource guides in the Adirondack Park.

One aspect of ñ Adirondack Paddlingî that sets it apart from other guidebooks is the storytelling. Brown doesnÍ t just dive into the facts; he sets up each paddle with an introduction that sums up the trip and puts it in context with the paddlersÍ experience, other recreational possibilities in the Park, and the degree of wildness and solitude one can find there. ñ For many people, pond-hopping in the St. Regis Canoe Area under sunny skies represents the summum bonum of Adirondack paddling,î Brown writes in the Long Pond to Hoel Pond section. ñ Each pond on the dayÍ s itinerary is a new adventure. Each has its own personality. Each is an invitation to experience nature (including loons) up close, undisturbed by motorboats. But paddling is not the only way to see the Canoe Area ...î Brown organizes trips in ñ Adirondack Paddlingî by creating four regions of the Adirondack Park: Northeast, which includes trips around Newcomb, the Tri-Lakes and Lake Champlain; Northwest, which includes trips such as Lake Lila, the Oswegatchie River and Madawaska Flow; the Southwest, which includes trips such as East Canada Creek, Blue Mountain Lake to Raquette Lake and Browns Tract Inlet; and the Southeast, which includes trips such as the Upper Schroon River, Lower Hudson River and Kunjamik River.

If thereÍ s one criticism, itÍ s the lack of paddling trips in the Southeast region. To only have six trips in such a huge chunk of the Adirondack Park makes it seems like there are very few places to paddle there, which canÍ t be true, can it? Yet to whittle the endless opportunities down to 60 great paddling trips for a park the size of Vermont, choices have to be made, and Brown made 60 excellent choices. Maybe the Southeast could be better represented in later books.

It was nice to see a listing of six multi-day paddling trips in the back of the book, which was mainly designed to offer day trips. ñ Adirondack Paddlingî is 288 pages (including the index) and retails for $24.95, a reasonable price considering paddlers will be traveling a lot with it. This is a well-designed and attractive resource, filled with color photos, and it has rightly earns its place in the stable of ADK guidebooks. It is co-published by BrownÍ s

‘Adirondack Paddling’ an inspiring companion for paddlers SARANAC LAKE „ Phil BrownÍ s a busy guy. Not only does he work a day job as editor of the Adirondack Explorer newsmagazine and publish interesting books in his spare time, heÍ s usually found somewhere in the Adirondack Park paddling, hiking or rock climbing in familiar and unfamiliar territory.

Perhaps this is one reason why outdoor enthusiasts will find his newest book, ñ Adirondack Paddling: 60 Great Flatwater Adventures,î such a useful resource. When reading the book, we know Brown isnÍ t just sending us to far-off corners of the Adirondack Forest Preserve without due diligence; heÍ s paddled these trips and swapped notes with Adirondack Daily Enterprise outdoor writer Mike Lynch, who also explored the 60 great flatwater adventures.

Brown speaks from experience. This is the guy who won a paddling rights court case earlier this year against the Friends of Thayer Lake and the Brandreth Park Association. He paddled from Little Tupper Lake to Lake Lila „ including Mud Pond, Mud Pond Outlet and a portion of Shingle Shanty Brook „ which were posted. Accused of trespassing, Brown asserted the public deserved to paddle these routes. And the judge agreed, saying that the route is ñ navigable in factî and ordered that the posted signs along the waterways be taken down.

Meet the authors July 20

LAKE PLACID „ Authors Phil Brown and Mike Virtanen will be holding a joint book signing at Bookstore Plus in Lake Placid from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 20.

Virtanen, the author of ñ The RiverÍ s Tale,î and Brown, the author of ñ Adirondack Paddling,î will sign copies of their latest books. ñ The RiverÍ s Taleî was published by Lost Pond Press of Saranac Lake (BrownÍ s company). ñ Adirondack Paddlingî was co-published by Lost Pond Press and the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK). ñ The RiverÍ s Taleî is a suspense novel set in the Adirondacks. Alison Reade flees New York City to escape an obsessive ex-boyfriend and lands a job as a whitewater-rafting guide on the Hudson River. After she starts a romance with her charismatic boss, life seems good„u ntil she discovers that the Adirondacks are not the safe haven she thought they were. Virtanen is a political reporter in Albany.

Brown, editor of the Adirondack Explorer newsmagazine in Saranac Lake, will give an ñ Adirondack Paddlingî slide show at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 20 at 8 p.m. at ADKÍ s High Peaks Information Center, located at Heart Lake in Lake Placid. This presentation is free and open to the public.

company, Lost Pond Press.

As in all ADK publications, Brown takes ñ Adirondack Paddlingî beyond the guidebook basics of ñ who, what and whereî and adds the ñ how and why.î The reader will learn how to safely enjoy these waterways and begin to understand why itÍ s so important to protect these public lands.

ItÍ s striking how many nooks and crannies of the Adirondack Park IÍ m missing by not taking these trips. IÍ ll admit, I donÍ t canoe or kayak, and IÍ ve spent most of my time in the Forest Preserve hiking and backpacking. Save for a memorable three-day canoeing trip on the Raquette River from Long Lake to Tupper Lake, IÍ m no paddler. But I found a love for paddling in this book. ñ Adirondack Paddlingî made we want to be a paddler.

Buy local to support North Country dairy farms

By Laurie Davis Adirondack Harvest Coordinator Cornell Cooperative Extension Essex County

During the years in which IÍ ve been paying attention to North Country agricultural news, IÍ ve noticed that when a headline announces a story about ñ farmingî itÍ s most likely to be about dairy farming. I suspect this narrow media definition of farming stems from the general history of farming in the Northeast which for more than a century was focused primarily on dairy production. Nowadays, traditional family dairy farms often struggle to make ends meet and the news is not always uplifting. In terms of ñ buying localî , how does one support the North Country dairy farms?

We want to make sure our dairy farmers are making a viable living, and buy their products, but how can we know where our regular ñ store-boughtî milk is coming from? The key is in the code. Whenever you purchase a dairy

product check the stamped label. Look for the code, always a two digit number between 01 and 56 (no letters), a hyphen, and then a one to five digit number/letter combination. Those first two numbers are your clue about where the milk was processed. New York State milk starts with a ñ 36î and Vermont with a ñ 50î .

Very often the milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, etc. from these processing plants originated in Northern New York dairy farms.

In Au Sable Forks, David Brunner and Rhonda Butler renovated Asgaard farm to accommodate a certified organic goat milk dairy.

Their herd of dairy goats produces milk for their farmstead products including cheeses, caramels and soap. Dan Meier also makes his own types of farmstead cheeses that reflect the character of his farm and region. He has named St. Regis, Snye and Mt. Titus after local landmarks and also makes whole milk cheese curds. Sheila Flanagan and Lorraine Lambiase are the owners and cheesemakers at Nettle Meadow Farm. Not only do they produce arti-

ELIZABETHTOWN „ The Get Out & Live North Country website is launched by the Creating Healthy Places (CHP) contractors in Essex, Franklin & St. Lawrence counties.

The website is a portal for people to share their stories about why they like to walk and bike and inspire others to do the same.

Essex County Public Health - Creating Healthy Places (CHP) grant funded from NYS Department of Health supports creating, revitalizing and promoting places for people to be active as a strategy of preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Essex County Public Health, North Country Healthy Heart Network, and the St. Lawrence Health Initiative have been working on such strategies in the communities they serve for the past three years. Activities have included

assisting communities in adopting complete streets policies, developing traffic calming projects, revitalizing trails and playgrounds and planning community projects. ñ Our strategies focus on improving access, safety and convenience of public spaces like sidewalks, trails and playgrounds so all members of our communities have the opportunity to be more active,î said Meg Parker, the CHP Coordinator in Essex County. ñ Get Out & Live North Country promotes active living through stories. These stories on the getoutandlivenorthcountry.org site show that people walk and bike for a number of reasons – transportation, recreation, family time, enjoying the outdoors, de-stressing and staying healthy.î Walking and biking may be critical to keeping a father off high blood pressure medication, helping a mother de-stress or a college student

sanal farmstead cheeses from goatsÍ milk, they also incorporate sheep and cow milk into their products.

The new kid on the block, North Country Creamery, is owned and operated by Ashlee Kleinhammer who resuscitated the Clover Mead Farm dairy operation after the retirement of local cheese pioneer Sam Hendren. Ashlee is producing cheese and yogurt as well as selling raw milk. New York State does allow raw milk sales which follow careful licensing and regulatory procedures to assure product safety.

Most of these small farms sell at farmers markets, through community supported agriculture (CSA) or through a farm store and many also sell to retail stores and restaurants.

Lime Lake is no lemon!

T

his past week I was on another mission; a working vacation combined with fishing, of course. My working aspect was doing wildlife habitat work. My fishing trip was for bass; smallmouth and largemouth.

This time I was down in northBy Rich Redman ern Allegany county cutting trees in a small town named Short Tract.

When my sister Suzy was diagnosed with lung cancer they held an auction to raise money for finding the cause and cure for cancer. I donated a wildlife management plan to the auction. Good friends, Johnny and Carol Beitz bid on it, and won the wildlife management plan for their hunting property. I completed the wildlife plan two years ago, and now I go down once a year to fell trees on the property, creating openings for food plots and early successional growth. I also cut trees down to allow sunlight to reach the apple trees that are straining to get sunlight.

Johnny has been following the guidelines outlined in the plan and the results are showing. In just one year there has been a remarkable change in the amount of apples that are growing. Last year there were trees with no apples due to the shade. This year with the rain and life giving sunlight reaching the trees, there are apples galore! We cleared an area where brassicas will be planted, providing energy to deer this fall. A nice little buffet table is being created for both grouse and deer.

Apples, grasses, clovers and brassicas will supply minerals, carbohydrate energy and protein to the deer for growth and weight gain to get through the winter. The food and food plots will keep deer near his property long enough so he can bow hunt this fall. Winter will be arriving faster than we think.

ItÍ s all coming together for Johnny and his hunting property. Last year he was a bit hesitant about cutting trees. He is now a true believer in wildlife management and allowing the sun to do the work! After dropping about forty trees, I was done for the day. Johnny now has his work cut out for him pulling brush and tops to create designated movement areas for deer. He also will be getting some exercise cutting the red maple up for firewood. This fall should be a good hunting season for my friend and his property.

Once I was done cutting, it was fishing and hydration time. I returned to Lime Lake in Cattaraugus County where I stayed with Andy Christie, his family and friends. Bass fishing was on the hit list for activities.

Andy’s brother, Ken Christie is a semi-professional bass fisherman who competes in NYS Bass Federation tournaments and I was lucky enough to be able to get a day out on the boat with him. He will be on Lake Champlain later this year for a bass tournament.

The next morning we set out in his Triton bass boat with an Evinrude 150 engine and shot across the lake like a bullet. Lime Lake is a small lake or what could be called a large pond. ItÍ s about 1 mile long and lean in width with a few bays. The lake is elbow to elbow with camps and cottages, so if you like solitude, that is not a daytime option. The only solitude is found during night fishing.

Water skiers, jet skis, canoes and pontoon boats are plentiful on holiday weekends, but scarce during the week. It’s a great little lake to fish with a canoe or small boat, which can be put in at the DEC access area.

You canÍ t back a trailer with a boat into the access area to launch; itÍ s for carry in only boats. The camps all get access through a private launch on the lake which is for lake association members only. Despite this limitation, it’s a great spot to fish for bass.

The rain started after our first hour out, but we were catching fish so it didnÍ t matter. One after another, we started pulling in largemouth bass; many of very acceptable size. Ken caught the one and only norlunge; about a 22-incher. The norlunge were stocked to keep the population of bluegills, sunnys and perch from over running the lake. There were two guys in our party who didn’t catch a fish: Nick and Pat, but I wonÍ t mention their names due to fact that they are overwhelmed with depression and embarrassment!

We broke for lunch, changed into dry clothes and went back to fishing. We were using lightweight spinning rods with 8-pound test line.

The bait was a white fluke which was twitched on the retrieve, and allowed to sink. It worked superbly! We caught bass and norlunge and enjoyed the time fishing. I made some new friends and yes, life is good!

Lime Lake is no lemon when it comes to bass fishing!

Lime Lake is a small, sometimes congested lake, but a beautiful spot to fish. It’s right off of NYS Route 16, south of Arcade about five miles.

There are gas stations, restaurants and shopping areas nearby along with camping areas and motels to stay in, so if you are passing through western New York or just doing a walk about wanderlust trip enjoying life, stop in and fish this sweet little lake.

This article is dedicated to my little sister Suzy who lost her battle with lung cancer, and to all the family and friends in western New York who were there for her! Thank You. To everything; turn, turn, turn.

There is a season; turn, turn, turn! I miss you Suzy!
