By Shawn Ryan Shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ In the woods near the old airbase flight-line, Plattsburgh’s version of Ò The Big DigÓ is in full swing.

There, eight student archeologists under the watchful eye of Doctor Tim Abel, archeology professor from Clinton Community College, are unearthing the remnants of the 200-year-old Ò PikeÕ s Contonment.Ó The cantonment, which is defined as a military or police quarters or encampment, is where American forces under General Zebulon Pike over-wintered in 18121813, during the war of 1812.

The Cantonment was burnt to the ground by British forces in the summer of 1813, in what has come to be known as MurphyÕ s Raid, and was subsequently lost to history until its CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Depot Theatre Gala upcoming in Westport Event scheduled for Aug. 10 at DaCy Meadow Farms

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com WESTPORTÑ WestportÕ s Depot Theatre is a behive of activity, preparing for their Annual Gala, which will mark their 35 year anniversary.

The Gala, held for the first time at DaCy Meadow Farms, will feature a cocktail hour, whiskey tasting, a farm-to-table dinner prepared by Chef Kevin McCarthy as well as a silent auction, a live auction, music and dancing. Ò I think a lot of people have a great time having a mid-summer celebration that helps raise funds for something that has become really important for our region,Ó said Shami McCormick, artistic director of the theater.

McCormick, who has been at the Depot for 34 of the companyÕ s 35 years, is excited for this yearÕ s event, especially since it is being held at DaCy Meadow Farms, located at 7103 Route 9N between the theater and I-87.

The Gala, McCormick explained, is a coming out party of sorts for DaCy Meadow as well.

The farm, which features farm-to-table Ò localvoreÓ dining and lodging, has hosted smaller events such as weddings, but never a celebration on this scale. Ò ItÕ s a very new experience, and they are working very hard, theyÕ re adding a lot of aspects to their facility in preparation for the gala, as a groundworks for doing other such events there,Ó McCormick said.

The Gala, their biggest fund-raising event of the year, will benefit the Depot Theatre’s professional theater programs, as well as their outreach and youth activities. Ò ItÕ s kind of a really kicky, fun experience,Ó McCormick said. Ò I think one of the things that a theater can do is to do an event (like this) really well. ThereÕ s always surprises to it and itÕ s always whimsical.Ó Amazing Grace Vinyard and Winery in Chazy will be providing table wine for the Gala, and GioiosaÕ s Wine and Spirits from Plattsburgh is providing the champagne. Other major sponsors are Lake Placid Pub and Brewery in Lake Placid and WhistlePig Rye Whiskey in Shelburne, Vt. Ò WeÕ re almost ready. Fortunately we have another two weeks to prepare,Ó said Managing Director Angel Wuellner.

In the midst of the preparations for the Gala, the show Boeing-Boeing is nearing its closing Aug. 4. The theater company is preparing to unveil their newest show, the musical Funked Up Fairy Tales starting Aug. 9. Also in the works is Lombardi, a play about legendary football coach Vince Lombardi.

The theaterÕ s lobby is also currently playing host to to a Ò sap bucket art show,Ó where local artists were given a sap bucket to use as their canvas. The colorful buckets ring the walls above the historic train depot benches.

There is also a jurried art show slated to run from Aug. 21 to Sept. 18.

Those interested in attending the Gala can contact the Depot Theatre box office at 518-9624449.

Town of Mooers unveils new web presence

By Claire Durham

denpubs@denpubs.com is.

MOOERS Ñ

The Town of Mooers has a new face, online that

A new website has been designed by Secretary to the Supervisor, Rena Bosley in order to display information about the town to the public in a more accessible and appealing way.

Bosley explained that the old site was never user- friendly and so she wanted to use her skills in graphic design to put together a new one. It took her about three days to combine all the information she had and put the site out there. Ò IÕ m trying to get everyoneÕ s opinion on it,Ó Bosley said.

She also said that sheÕ s looking for input on the information, content, and is encouraging others to send her anything they think the website is lacking.

The layout of the new website is easy to navigate with a row of tabs at the top of the page labeled Home, News, Calendar, Departments, Minutes, Forms, and Contact Us. Each tab also includes a photo at the top.

The Home page offers essential information such as the townÕ s address, office hours, and upcoming town events. Also, the townÕ s slogan: Ò A Great Place to Work and LiveÓ is right below the welcoming.

On the News page are the townÕ s weather forecast which can be clicked on to check out the extended forecast and any important news, like the library securing another grant for construction.

Continuing on to the Calendar tab, a visitor will find reminders about important dates such as the Republican and Democrat Caucuses, and the link to click on the agenda for the recent Zoning Board of Appeals meeting at the Mooers Courtroom.

The Departments page on the new website also has the slogan that was featured on the Home page. Every department from

Assessor to Zoning can be clicked on, bringing up another page showing the supervisor of the department, as well as office hours, and a phone number, followed by information that is specific for that department.

The Minutes page shows the town meeting minutes dating back to January 2010. Anyone visiting this page can click on the dates and read about what happened. A reminder about the town meeting being held on the second Tuesday of every month as well is right at the top of the page.

On the Forms page, all the downloadable forms for Mooers are available for anyone seeking forms from Soccer Signups to Agricultural Exemptions.

Finally, on the Contact Us page are all the names that are known in the Town of Mooers, from Supervisor Cory Ross to Historian Carol Nedeau, their phone numbers and some email addresses.

Percussionist Rod Hamilton to perform

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The ROTA Gallery will host a musical performance of unique scores and soothing tunes from mallet percussionist Rod Hamilton.

The performance will be held at the gallery, 50 Margaret Street, at 7 p.m. on Aug. 4, and will include local artist, poet, songwriter and dancer Kimberly LeClaire as the opening act.

Hamilton, who hails from Baltimore, said this will be the first time he will bring his solo performance on the road. He began his tour in Charlotte, NC, on July 26. Ò IÕ m looking forward to bringing my music to people who have never heard it before,Ó Hamilton said. Ò ItÕ s a sound a lot of people may never have heard before, around here in Baltimore it has been well received, I’ll find out when I’m on the road if more people will like it.Ó In Baltimore, Hamilton said his work has been described as a mix of strange, psychedelic melodies and soothing harmonies.

The music can serve to ignite the synapses in the brain or become a soothing background music for listenerÕ s lives. Ò All acoustic music can turn into background music sometimes,Ó Hamilton said. Ò I know itÕ s a different kind of music and people might think itÕ s strange but I want to get the music out there.Ó By using a variety of percussion instruments along with the xylophone, Hamilton brings a multidimensional sound experience for listeners in his newest album, Hamilton said his musical specialty is percussion music jazz, experimental, and minimalism compositions, using any instrument he can Ò bang on.Ó “A xylophone is actually a specific type of mallet percussion instrument. I say xylophone music, but I really mean mallet percussion music. On recordings, I utilize multiple mallet instruments, such as the marimba, glockenspiel, vibraphone, and xylophone,Ó said Hamilton.

On this tour, Hamilton will be playing the MalletKat, which is an electronic/digital xylophone. Ò The MalletKat is capable of playing many different mallet instrument sounds, and is much easier to transport,Ó Hamilton said.

He said he is most drawn to the attack sound of a mallet percussion instrument because the staccato hit allows thinking

space between each note. Hamilton runs his music with a variety of loops utilizing pedals to alter the sound even more. He said he loops the selected live samples to create many layers of sound. Ò My performances are mostly spontaneous and improvisational pieces,Ó Hamilton said. Ò Once I get into a rhythm I just let the course of the sound set itself. I also run the MalletKat through many effects pedals, to alter the sounds even more. I then loop selected live samples with a loop pedal, which creates many layers of sound.Ó Admission is based on a $3 to $10 pay-what-you-can sliding scale.

The best $72,000 we’ll ever spend

E

very public school in every state should employ at least one school resource officer — and that position should be funded by the federal government.

It is time we put as much effort into protecting our kids as we do our politicians and airports.

And it is time that politicians stop using school shootings to further political agendas like gun control instead of formulating a meaningful plan that might actually stop some of these instances from happening altogether.

The answer should begin with a police presence in our schools.

Following the Dec. 14, 2012 elementary school shootings in Sandy Hook, Conn. that killed 20 children and six adults, parents of the Ticonderoga school district asked for just that — a full-time police officer assigned to the district.

Unfortunately, the Ticonderoga Police Department simply does not have the manpower to fulfill that request. At times, there is only one officer on duty, and having that officer patrolling only the school would not serve the needs of the community as a whole.

To the departmentÕ s credit, they have agreed to increase patrols at the districtÕ s three schools and will be there during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal.

ThatÕ s a start, as are security upgrades made by area schools such as locating cameras throughout buildings, locking doors and requiring identification to enter during school hours.

But is it enough? The answer, is no.

We pour billions of dollars every year into homeland security. We place full-body scanners at our airports. We surround our elected officials with nearly impenetrable systems and security details costing taxpayers millions.

And yet we canÕ t afford to protect our kids at school? Why should it be so difficult to protect our nationÕ s most precious and vulnerable people Ñ our children?

Ti PD Chief Mark Johns has the right idea. He suggested a full-time school resource officer be hired and assigned to the school.

The officer, Johns said, could serve several purposes, including security for the school as well as keeping a trained professional available in the event of an emergency.

“And school resource officers often build a rapport with young people,Ó he said. Ò That makes it easier for them to approach police when they have a problem or concern. That can

also help police with investigations.Ó The hurdle? It would cost $72,000 a year to add a school resource officer. Johns searched for grant money but came up empty-handed.

WeÕ re going to go out on a limb here and say the state spent more than $72,000 taxying Gov. Cuomo around in a state police helicopter two weeks ago so he could win his own rafting festival in Indian Lake.

Add to that what taxpayers shelled out to protect him while he was here Ñ he had a security detail and entourage Ñ and you could probably pay the salary of a public resource officer for years to come with that kind of money.

ItÕ s about priorities, plain and simple. Or should we say lack thereof, and our school kids are getting the short end of the security stick.

It is time to put an end to that.

If the Obama Administration and our federal lawmakers really want to make a meaningful impact on decreasing the number or severity of school shootings, they should put their money where their mouths are and fund full-time resource officers for every public school in the nation.

Do we want shootouts in our schools? Of course not. But these would be professional officers patrolling our hallways, trained to use lethal force only as a last resort when the lives of children are at stake.

It could operate much like the Federal Air Marshal Service. The consequence of improperly discharging a firearm on a plane would undoubtedly be a major tragedy Ñ and yet the air marshals, because of their training and equipment, have an impeccable record.

We feel properly trained and equipped school marshals could serve in a similar capacity.

At the same time, they would be a deterrent to crime, just as air marshals are in our skies.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that bad guys with a gun are more apt to commit a crime where they arenÕ t going to encounter a good guy with a gun.

And, letÕ s be honest. WeÕ re never going to have total control of all firearms in this nation, and weÕ re not going to cure every mentally ill individual with a penchant for killing. There is always going to be evil in this world.

We spend an incredible amount of money attempting to keep that evil from our airports, train stations, government centers and other places of public assembly.

It is time we do the same for our schools. Ñ

JODY is a friendly face from the Plattsburgh Public Library and she said the Ò hottestÓ things happening at PPL this summer are the summer reading program (never too late to bring your kids) and e-booksÉ you can get them through your library card! JACK, owner of YIPES STRIPES, said business is booming for car wraps, (car window advertising for your business!), and tinted windows. Those are two Ò hotÓ pieces of advice that can make you smarter and better looking.

Spontaneously popping in for a quick wine tasting, MARY BETH and CASSIDY CLARK told us theyÕ d make this a regular stop when they come out for dinner.

The Big Dig From page 1

location was found recently.

Excavations started last summer on the Plattsburgh landmark, with Abel and his crew discovering the corner of a building. This week, the entire footprint of that building has been unearthed, and a surprising amount of artifacts are being pulled from the soil.

“We now have a complete floor plan of a War of 1812 soldiers’ cabin,Ó Abel said. Ò To my knowledge, this is the only such excavated structure in the entire United States. I donÕ t know of any other site that has this degree of integrity.Ó They believe the cabin to be an officer’s quarters, based primarily on the types of artifacts taken from the ground last summer, like a shard of what at the time would have been expensive porcelain. The cabin measured 12 feet in width by 15 feet long, and had a hearth at either end. Locally fired bricks from the larger of the two hearths are clearly visible above the trench that has been dug to reveal the footprint of the building.

During a recent media day, elected officials from the town, county and city of Plattsburgh took time out to tour the excavation, and discuss informally their visions for what should become of the historically significant site.

SUNY Plattsburgh student Tim Szablewski showed a nail he unearthed while digging at the Pike’s Cantonment site.

Ò This is realÉ this is legitimate,Ó said Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak of the historical significance of the Cantonmant.

As one of the students pulled entact nails from the soil, Plattsburgh City Clerk Keith Herkalo, a local historian who has been intimately involved with the cantonment project, quizzed the students as to how iron nails could be in the ground for 200 years but not be rusted away.

One posited that when the cabin was burned by the British in the summer of 1813, the heat from the fire tempered the nails, turning them to steel, which is less likely to rust. Satisfied with the answer, Herkalo went back to his animated discussion with a local history buff about the lengthy process of discovering Plattsburgh Town Historian Jerry Bates, Plattsburgh City Clerk and local historian Keith Herkalo, Mayor Donthe location of the cantonment ald Kasprzak and Archeoligist Dr. Tim Abel look over excavation work at Pike’s Cantonment. site. from development.

High Peaks Dental offers luxury dentistry on any budget

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Some people fear heights, others fear enclosed spaces Ñ others would take either over a trip to the dentist.

ThatÕ s where High Peaks Dental (HPD) comes in.

With luxury office equipment that offers a Ò Ritz CarltonÓ like experience combined with lower costs than many traditional dentists and even sedation to help those with the highest anxiety relax, HPD sets itself apart.

The dentists of HPD even go so far as to provide free dental services once a year to anyone wishing to turn out.

HPD was founded by Dr. Michael OÕ Connor, who grew up in the Plattsburgh area and returned after college to open his practice.

HPD has two locations, one in Plattsburgh and one in Lake Placid. The group moved into the present Lake Placid facility in February 2002 after working in Saranac Lake since 1997. The Plattsburgh office, open since 1978, recently expanded and has state-of-the-art dental facilities.

The business moved last year from its former location at 55 Cornelia Street to the new location at 675 Route 3.

HPD offers a variety of different services including sedation, cosmetic, preventive and restorative dentistry. A full list of services include Veneers/LUMINEERS, Invisalign, CEREC one visit Crowns, Digital X-Rays, 6-Month Smiles, Implants, LANAP (Laser Gum Treatment), childrenÕ s dentistry, Periodontal Therapy, gentle cleanings, porcelain crowns and bridges, extractions, root canal treatments, bonding, pediatric dentistry, teeth whitening, and dentures. Ò We strive to provide our patients with quality care, comfort and convenience. We provide a full-service, state-of-the art dental practice,Ó Caldon said. Ò From the moment you step into our practice, until the moment you complete treatment,

we want you to be comfortable and relaxed and have your reaction be Ô wow I have never had an experience like that in a medical setting,Ó Õ Caldon said. Ò We strive to give a Ritz Carlton experience.Ó The Ò Ritz Carlton ModelÓ includes more than 100 hours of off-site training hours for HPD employees in Georgia, comfortable heating and massaging chairs in the examination room, and a modern decorative interior.

Dentistry from the Heart

Caldon said he and his partners understand dental care can be expensive for customers and continue to prove the Ò Ritz CarltonÓ experience for everyone.

“We try to fit into people’s budgets and minimize peopleÕ s out of pocket expenses while striving to give a Ritz Carlton experience,Ó he said.

Once a year the HPD holds a free dentistry clinic called Dentistry From The Heart (DFTH).

The seventh annual event will be held on Sept.

14, starting at 7 a.m. and going until late afternoon. The HPD will offer walk-in patients free dental services including: free teeth cleaning, fillings, and teeth extraction. Included in the appointment, patients will have a chance to have free x-rays.

DFTH is a worldwide nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free dental care to those in need.

HPD is one of many providers that hold the event every year. Thousands of dentists, hygienists, volunteers and hundreds of practices across the world donate their time and resources to host their own DFTH events. In support of DFTH providers, DFTH acts to ensure that those in need our advised of the services available through regional press releases and customized TV/radio commercials that promote the practices involved.

Caldon said one of the most beneficial ser-

vices provided by DFTH for HPD is helping to organize a filing system to get the highest number of patients to be seen in a given day. Ò We actually change peopleÕ s lives on that day,Ó Caldon said. Ò Unfortunately not everyone has dental insurance and even when they do insurance companies set the amount they are willing to reimburse and sometimes it doesnÕ t even come close to paying the cost of a procedure.Ó DFTH was founded by Dr. Vincent J. Monticciolo 13 years ago in Florida. Caldon said Monticciolo held the event on ValentineÕ s Day. Ò ItÕ s from the Heart because of ValentineÕ s Day but we decided it would be a little kinder to people in the North Country to hold the event in summertime to early fall,Ó Caldon said.

The registration begins at 7 a.m. with many people camping out in the parking lot as early at 2 a.m. Caldon said various community spon-

sors offer free coffee and food for barbecue, and live music helps people pass the time while waiting. Caldon said some of the people register at 7 a.m. and might not see the dentist until late afternoon. Ò ItÕ s a day dentists look forward to more than any other day, it becomes an entire event,Ó Caldon said.

Last year was the first DFTH event at the new facility in Plattsburgh. Caldon said they were able to see all 55 people who came. Ò We were expecting 88 but we think because we are not in the center of a residential area in Plattsburgh less people thought to come,Ó Caldon said. Ò We were happy to get to help those people, a majority needed a teeth cleaning, and we hope more people come this year.Ó For more information about HPD or DFTH call (866) 697-5179 or go to www.highpeaksdental.com.

Volunteers gather to discuss ‘First Weekend’ The next event in the series is scheduled for this weekend

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Plattsburgh First Weekend Committee met July 24 to discuss upcoming Ò First WeekendÓ activities, as well as to go over survey results from their two previous events.

With a growing slate of performers and attractions hoping to either return, or participate for the first time in August and SeptemberÕ s Ò First Weekends,Ó the group is hoping to convince City of Plattsburgh officials to agree to close more roads, in order to open more space for performers and vendors. The eventÕ s art walk has grown from 15 artists at locations around downtown to 20, and a similar increase in the number of musicians, vendors and displays is expected for the upcoming events. Ò The city has been very accommodating to us,Ó said First Weekend Committee volunteer Tim McCormick.

The next Ò First WeekendÓ in the series will be held this weekend, Aug. 2-3. The event will begin with music in the streets Friday night and a family fun day on Saturday with a Ò block partyÓ at City Hall Place. The street will be closed from 2 to 5 p.m. The event kicks off with an art walk along with musical performers in front of local businesses downtown. McCormick said the majority of the downtown entertainment will take place on Margaret Street.

This is the third First Weekend arranged by members of the Vision 2 Action Group, the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, ROTA Gallery, the Adirondack Young Professionals, The Champlain Valley Transportation Museum, the Imaginarium ChildrenÕ s Museum and area businesses.

The group, consisting totally of volunteers, has no budget or financial backing to get “First Weekends” up and running. Ò But,Ó said volunteer Colin Read, Ò If you added up the amount of donations in kind weÕ ve gotten of peopleÕ s time, itÕ s probably been worth $5,000.Ó Committee volunteer Shawna Armstrong discussed results of a survey on First WeekendsÕ Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/PlattsburghFFandSS) asking people about their impressions of the previous events. Support for the first two “First WeekendsÓ has been overwhelmingly positive, with respondants saying that among other things, they felt safe at the events, and would recommend Ò First WeekendsÓ to their friends.

A predominant sentiment in the surveys was also that people would not be as likely to attend if the streets were not closed to traffic.

The next Ò First WeekendÓ in the series is slated for Sept. 6-7, the week prior to the Battle of Plattsburgh celebration.

Summertime Blues From page 1

Blues Album of the Year and was nominated for Best Male Soul Blues Artist of the Year by the Blues Foundation. In addition, Johnny was honored with a Blues Trail Marker located at the original site of the Hi Hat Club in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He shares the plaque with soul blues legends Tyrone Davis and Little Milton.

RawlÕ s most recent CD, Memphis Still Got Soul, was released in April 2011.

The concert event will be opened by the David Keller Band.

Keller is one of the finest blues and soul men of his generation. A first-class singer, guitarist, and songwriter, Keller has recorded with legendary guitarist Ronnie Earl, toured with Mississippi soul blues man Johnny Rawls, and been mentored by deep soul singer Mighty Sam McClain.

Keller is a seasoned performer, adept at creating a fun and inspiring experience for the audience. He has released 4 CDs, earned glowing reviews in the national blues press, and received airplay on more than 200 stations in the U.S. and abroad (reaching #8 on Roots Music ReportÕ s blues chart).

This event is the second for the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts in its Ò Hard HatÓ series, which are ongoing until the Strand Theatre is completely renovated, hopefully by the summer’s end. The first show, held July 26, was called “Turbulence,Ó performed by The Rebecca Kelly Ballet Company of New York City.

NCCCAÕ s gallery coordinator Shawna Armstrong, said Ò Summertime BluesÓ will be a must-see. Ò ItÕ ll be a nice blues concert in the beautiful, newly reno-

David Keller vated Strand Theatre,” she said. “Our first show at the Strand sold out, and this is sure to do the same.Ó The Strand Theatre is located at 23 Brinkerhoff Street in Plattsburgh. Doors to Ò Summertime BluesÓ will open at 7 p.m., the show starts at 7:30.

Adirondack Made logs ready for the mill!

Photo by Rich Redman

American made organic heat

N

o matter where you live, the saying seems to be, Ò wait a minute and the weather will change.Ó From the west coast to the eastern Adirondacks, they all say it!

The 90 degree steamy days seem to be over, and fall is slowing working its way to our region. It wonÕ t be very long before the winds of winter blow, the temperature will be below zero and we will have something new to complain about. Too hot, too cold; it doesnÕ t matter. Someone will complain. ItÕ s human nature to complain about natureÕ s way.

I look forward to winter. ItÕ s a time to slow down and enjoy a stack of good books and enjoy

By Rich Redman the warmth of a wood stove burning and churning out BTUÕ s to heat the house. Reading during the summer when thereÕ s work to do, is something I just canÕ t do. ThereÕ s always something to do, like cutting, hauling and stacking firewood during the long summer days.

It may be warm today, but you really need to be thinking about getting a load or two of fire wood delivered to your door for tomorrow.

Yes, wood is locally produced, organic, renewable and sustainable heat that is in tune with nature. There is nothing like walking into the house after a cold day out in the woods. The hot dry air warms like no other heat.

Fire wood from local trees is a renewable resource fuel that when burned, releases carbon monoxide. However, when a tree is cut, new growth starts from the area where the old tree stood and shaded the ground. Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon is then taken back out of the atmosphere, and utilized by the growing trees. There is a natural balance between what is released and what is stored if a woodlot stays a woodlot.

Flipping a switch and letting the oil burner make my heat is not what I like for many reasons.

One of which is, that stored carbon burned as oil, that was made eons ago is released and the balance of stored carbon versus released, is broken. When we burn fuel oil and gas along with a list of other things that release carbon we are releasing more carbon than we store, and that is where the problem is.

Secondly, when we have acres and acres of unmanaged woodlands around us and we heat with oil produced in some foreign nation, well that really doesnÕ t make much sense to me. We transport oil from a country 1,000 miles away to heat our homes when all we have to do is look out the window and see thousands of acres of potential fuel if managed properly. Not only would we get fuel, we can create wildlife habitat, have managed sugar bushes, and other fruit and nut tree crops.

I support the oil companies enough when I fill my car and truck with gas. I really donÕ t want to spend all my money on foreign fuel when I can spend it on Adirondack, organic, locally grown heat. With the proper woodstove and chimney setup, you can enjoy wood heat in your house and know that you are supporting locally grown fuels and businesses.

Whether you get cord wood delivered or have a wood pellet stove, you are spending your hard earned money locally. That is important in keeping an Adirondack community alive. Far too many small businesses have left or gone out of business because of the lack of community support. Many Adirondack communities are based on agriculture and forestland ownership. Keeping them profitable helps keep communities thriving. We have far too many empty store fronts and vacant buildings in our area. ItÕ s easy to blame Walmart or some other box store, but it all boils down to the consumer. You make the final decision where to buy. I am not opposed to Ò wally worldÓ or McDonaldÕ s, or any other business trying to make a living. I shop at some of these places but I also try to buy from farmers markets, local fire wood suppliers and local lumber yards.

Our society is leaning toward locally produced vegetables and grass-fed meats, as well as other products. That is good. We need to do more though!

We must support our local industry by purchasing local agriculture and forest products.

We need to look at more locally produced organic heat for our homes, schools, and businessÕ s. Economics plays a serious part in purchasing fuel and it seems every time we lean toward an alternative fuel, the price of oil drops just enough to make the alternative, a non-alternative.

In the long run though, we really need to think about what will be stable for our area. Forest products and agriculture are our key industries so letÕ s support them as much as possible. Buy your food from a local farmer, buy your fire wood or wood pellets from local suppliers and build as much as possible from local woods. Have a local carpenter or cabinet maker build your next piece of furniture. Let’s keep the money close to home where the profits will improve our neighborhoods and our childrenÕ s lives. LetÕ s not send our hard earned dollars elsewhere!

Make sure you have a proper woodstove and chimney that meets local codes and is inspected before you start to heat with your local organic woods. Modern stoves have fewer emissions than old styles and are very efficient for heat production. Work with a chimney sweep to maintain your chimney and stove so you and your family stay safe.

Conservation

Conversations

Ribbons of fog often cap the summit of Whiteface Mountain during the early morning hours. The sight offers a reminder of what’s to come as the summer season segways towards autumn. The Adirondack summer has always been a dwarf on the annual calendar.

Ahhh…summertime, and the livin’ is easy

A

s I grow older, it seems the summer season has become much more fleeting than it was in my younger days, when the prospect of returning to a classroom was a constant lingering threat.

While I understand the rationale behind the concept that a personÕ s perception of time is altered as they age Ñ It is an odd fact that while some summer days appear to last forever; the weeks and months seem to move faster than a dollar sign at the gas pump.

The inescapable truth is the duration of our days is extended as a result of the quantity of activities we manage to pack into them. A long day may include a morning hike, some swimming, some diving, a lazy canoe float and a bit of casting even if the fish don’t want to cooperate.

But when the fish do decide to provide a bit of entertainment, time stops for a while; or it can even allow one to regress. IÕ ve known many men, and ladies for that matter, who are reduced to the state of giddy, little kids at the mere shadow of a trout approaching their fly.

This pattern of activity based regression is in fact the definition of recreation, which when broken down is simply to recreate, our spirit, our enthusiasm, and our reasons for living.

Some folks have a need to achieve in order to get their dose of recreation, of which the recent Ironman USA is a classic example. Run, bike, and swim is fine for some, while many others prefer to drink, grill and snooze. To each his own, sport.

IÕ ve also noticed the lack of time IÕ ve spent in camp this summer has had a drastic effect on my understanding of the season.

There have been far fewer nights spent around the fire, watching the sparks intermingle with a million stars overhead, as fireflies continue to blink and flicker off and on in the pitch blackness.

The rivers have remained quite high this season, and their waters have been rather cool. However, lake temperatures are now comparable to bathwater and the rope swings have been busy.

The night skies have remained as brilliant as I can ever recall, and the morningÕ s fog equally as thick. The recent cool nights have offered up numerous examples of natureÕ s extraordinary ribbony masterpieces, which have been as fascinating to view from the valleys as from the mountaintops.

Such scenes are always compounded by the appearance of a full moon, a brilliant sunset or other natural attractions.

Although autumn will always remain my favored season for a number of good reasons, summer chases right along in a hard second.

It is a youthful season, and one of the most fleeting available in our little neck of the woods. Although it brings with it a myriad of inconveniences which include muggy heat, rain, bugs, clogged roads and busy streets; the summer always serves to brings back our youth. And I wouldnÕ t trade that for all the Bluebird days of autumn, winter or spring combined.

Where have the butterflies gone?

For me, one of the surest signs of the summer season has always been the preponderance of butterflies in our backyard, which is overgrown with a thick swath of milkweed plants.

To date, I have not witnessed a single monarch in the air or on the plants. Nor have I seen a single yellow swallowtail butterfly, sipping water along the edge of any stream, brook, creek, river or seep.

Often, while wading the Boquet over the years, it has

become quite common to encounter a rabble of swallowtails gathered along a wet riverbank. It is always a joy to witness a rabble take to the air, and float along gently on the air currents of a river corridor.

I never realized how much I enjoyed the sight, until itÕ s been gone. I do hope it is just a cycle with the swallowtails.

However, the dire situation of the monarchs may be a far different matter.

Entomologists have discovered a dramatic drop in monarch populations all across North America. It is believed to be the result of last yearÕ s combination of severe weather events, which included droughts, high winds, heavy rains and a prolonged cold snap during the spring migration.

As a result of last summerÕ s droughts and the spring seasonÕ s rains, the massive monarch migration, which extends from Mexico to Canada, was decimated. According to various reports, there is a very real possibility that no monarchs will be found in the northern air this summer, which would be very sad.

However, if you do need to see some monarchs, I highly recommend The Wild CenterÕ s newest movie, Ò Flight of the Monarchs,Ó which documents the popular butterfly’s incredible annual journey from the mountains of Mexico to the fields of North America. It is available daily at 11 a.m., noon and 4 p.m.

The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, aka The Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks, showcases the natural world of the region with a quality comparable to the Adirondack MuseumÕ s display of the human history. They are two facilities that make me wish for more rainy days. Ò Normally we have hundreds of millions of Monarchs in Quebec and Eastern Canada, and now we have 90 percent of that at least,Ó noted Montreal InsectariumÕ s entomologist, Maxim LarrivŽ e in a recent interview that was published online.

In fact, monarch populations have continued to suffer a severe drop in population during the past seven years, with as few as one-fifteenth the numbers that were in the air just two decades ago.

The familiar black and orange species has been in serious decline for a while, and if populations continue the downward spiral; monarchs may no longer be a familiar fixture of the North Country summer.
