He said that the plea negotiations pertained to both Tammy and MichaelÕ s cases. Tammy was charged with 20 counts of animal abuse and neglect after it was discovered by health department workers that she allegedly had not provided medical attention to sick kittens in her Plattsburgh Plaza Store, where one kitten was also found deceased.

Sweet Adelines a capella group celebrates 45 years By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Champlain Valley Chorus of Sweet Adelines will commemorate 45 years of harmony at a show reflectively titled “Celebrate” Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. in the newly renovated Strand Theatre. The festivities will include performances by veteran group members, including the performance of an original member. President of the group, Carol Harsh said it will be symbolic to hold the celebration in the Strand Theatre. Ò One of the groups earlier performances was in the Strand, so it will be wonderful to be on of the first onstage performances since the renovation with one of the groups original members,Ó Harsh said. The group is made up of women from throughout the North Country including members from Reber, Elizabethtown, Plattsburgh, Chazy, and even across continental borders from Hemingford, Quebec. The group sings primarily barbershop quartet music. Sweet Adelines Board member, Diane Sabourin, said barbershop singers and a capella music is primarily a male genre of music. Sabourin said itÕ s very fun for the women to get into their roles in the chorus and hope to show people in the community how versatile a capella music can be. Earlier that day, the chorus is sponsoring an all-day a cappella workshop, Ò Sweet Expectations,Ó for young women to be held at the First Presbyterian Church in Plattsburgh. Harsh said young women ages 12 to 25 will learn about four-part a cappella barbershop-style singing from Ken Hughes and experienced clinicians. Following the dayÕ s workshop, the young women will have the opportunity to perform the pieces learned and help the Champlain Valley Chorus celebrate musical harmony that evening at the Strand Theater. To round out the evening of a cappella singing Northern Adirondack Vocal Ensemble (NAVE) and two Sweet Adeline Quartets -Notes of Accord and the Meter Maids-will join the program.

Ò ItÕ s going to be great to see new young singers with our established singers,Ó Harsh said. Tickets are on sale at Edys, General Trading Company, Plattsburgh Mail and Shipping Center, and Ultra Wave in Plattsburgh and Peru Health Mart in Peru. Tickets will also be sold at the door.

Prices are $10 for general admission and $8 for students and seniors. For more information, contact Sabourin at 518-846-8377. The Sweet Adelines rehearse every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the North Country Alliance Church, 7 Northern Ave. Ò We are always open to new members to join us,Ó Harsh said.

One college student seriously injured in early morning fire By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — An early morning house fire erupted on Couch Street on Sept. 21 with a SUNY Plattsburgh student sustaining serious injury. At approximately 1:15 a.m. City Police received a 911 call reporting a structure fire at 15 Couch Street, a multi-unit apartment house where several college students lived. Patrol Officers responded with the fire department. Upon their arrival, flames were seen emanating from the second and third stories. A 21-year-old female was trapped in a third story window until the fire department could get to her with a ladder and rescue her. She was taken to CVPH and then airlifted to the Clark Burn Center at Syracuse Upstate University Hospital for treatment. At this time, no further information is available on her condition. According to Michelle Ouellette, Associate Director of Public Relations and Publications, there were eight SUNY Plattsburgh students, including the young woman who sustained in-

juries, living at the house and one Clinton Community College student. It was unclear how many units the building had or how many other residents lived at the house. City detectives were called in to investigate the cause and origin of the fire. Assistant Fire Chief Randy Stone said several departments aided in extinguishing the fire including the City of Plattsburgh, South Plattsburgh and District Three. The Peru and Cumberland Head departments were also on standby. Fire department members stayed on scene until about 7 a.m., Stone said. In a statement, Plattsburgh State President John Ettling said: Ò Our thoughts are with the residents of 15 Couch St. and especially the injured student, who was airlifted to Syracuse for treatment. Our hearts are with her and her family as she struggles to recover from her injuries.Ó Oullette said the college has partnered with Plattsburgh College Foundation and College Auxiliary Services to provide the students with meal access; new textbooks and school supplies and loaner computers. Guest rooms at the college will also be available for about a week for students to find more permanent

housing. Stone said the investigation into the cause and origin of the fire is still unclear though investigators remained on scene at 11 a.m. The college also reached out to the Red Cross for additional support. Anyone wishing to help with those efforts may contact the Red Cross or contact Project HELP at the Center for Student Involvement, 564-4830. Project HELP and the Center for Student Involvement will host a meeting in the Cardinal Lounge, on Sept. 24 at noon, for all campus groups wanting to help the displaced students. Ettling also wrote that Ò while we do not currently know the cause of this fire, it is a reminder to us that we can all reduce our risks by understanding fire safety and practicing fire prevention in our homes.Ó In his letter he encouraged people to visit the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control website at http://www. dos.state.ny.us/fire/firewww.html and see below for additional tips provided by our University Police. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

Supervisors discouraged with Finch classification proceedings By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com RAY BROOK Ñ With 4 minutes left of a two-hour meeting, Adirondack Park Agency (APA) State Lands Committee Chairman Richard Booth crushed local supervisorsÕ hopes of a wild forest classification for the Essex Chain Lakes in the Central Adirondacks, even though a decision has yet to be made. Ò My opinion may be extreme and I may end up being in a very distinct minority,Ó Booth said. Ò IÕ ve looked at this enough, folks, to think that a wild forest classification, in my opinion, is not appropriate for this chain of lakes because of what the Master Plan says in terms on nondegredation and in terms of preserving the resources.Ó In his final remarks, Booth spoke to the APA Board of Commissioners and staffers who were answering Board membersÕ questions regarding the former Finch, Pruyn company land. Ò This is a sensitive group of resources,Ó Booth said. Ò I think thatÕ s what weÕ re hearing from you guys in multiple ways. These are very small ponds. TheyÕ re really ponds. TheyÕ re not really lakes for the most part. So I would urge staff to think about some memo that comes through us.Ó The memo Booth requested should clearly state the ramifications of classification based on the State Land Master Plan, which is a set of approved guidelines for using state-owned lands in the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park. “I think the State Land Master Plan actually has more specificity to it than what we generally have been talking about ... I think weÕ re going to need a memo that says basically, this is what the Master Plan says, the most important factors in terms of classification,” Booth said. “If the Agency designates most of this as wilderness, these are the implications in terms of uses and what would have to be removed in terms of things being there on an existing basis.Ó The memo, according to Booth, should look at the language of the plan in terms of the restrictions it places on the APAÕ s eventual decision. Ò The overall guideline in the Master Plan is that the resources not be degraded,Ó Booth said. Ò That is the basic bottom line requirement in the classification process. And I think before we do this, we need an analysis that basically lays out what the mandates are of the plan and what the choices are regarding wilderness, primitive, canoe and wild forest.Ó

Local reaction

Four town supervisors from the five-town Upper Hudson Recreation Hub were in the audience at APA Headquarters in Ray Brook watching the State Lands Committee meeting. They all support a wild forest designation of the Essex Chain Lakes, asserting that it will draw more users to the region, therefore more tourism dollars, because a wild forest classification is less restrictive than a wilderness classification. In wild forest, for example, motorized traffic such as mountain bikes, motor boats and automobiles are allowed, based on the unit management plan. No motors are allowed in land classified as wilderness. Sitting together in the audience were town supervisors Sue Montgomery Corey (Minerva), George Canon (Newcomb), Ronald Moore (North Hudson), and Brian Wells (Indian Lake). The only one missing from the Upper Hudson Recreation Hub coalition was Long Lake Supervisor Clark Seaman. The supervisorsÕ reactions to BoothÕ s pro-wilderness speech at the APA meeting were mixed. Moore and Wells refused to comment. Corey put on a brave face but was clearly discouraged. Ò IÕ m the eternal optimist, so I remain hopeful, but itÕ s challenging to remain hopeful,Ó Corey said.

Before Canon left the meeting with Wells, carpooling in the Indian Lake supervisorÕ s vehicle, he voiced his opinion of the proceedings. Ò It was pretty good until the end, and then we heard some pretty negative things, particularly from Mr. Booth,Ó Canon said. Ò I obviously didnÕ t agree with his statements, and I hope the rest donÕ t either.Ó Asked if he expected anything different from Booth, the Newcomb supervisor said, Ò No. Not really.Ó Despite BoothÕ s pro-wilderness comments, all hope may not be lost for wild forest proponents. No other State Lands Committee members voiced an opinion on their impending classification decision. The other committee members are Sherman Craig, William Thomas, William Valentino and Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Region 5 Director Robert Stegemann. In addition, Booth has a history of voting his conscience, no matter how unpopular. For example, he was the only APA Board member to vote against the Adirondack Club and Resort project in Paul Hai, program coordinator at the SUNY-ESF Adirondack Ecological Center in New2011.

Tracts of land

Below are the tracts of land currently up for classification at the APA. •The Essex Chain of Lakes and Hudson River: With 11 lakes and ponds interconnected or within portaging distance of each other, the Essex Chain will provide a canoe route and a much anticipated paddling experience. A long history of fish stocking that includes brook trout and landlocked salmon will ensure outstanding fishing. A five-mile stretch of the Hudson River runs along the east side of the Essex Chain parcel, completing an uninterrupted, Ò forever wildÓ stretch. The Essex Chain tract provides opportunities for hunting, day rafting, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, overnight river trips, and camping. •Indian River Tract, Towns of Indian Lake and Minerva, Hamilton and Essex counties: One of the most exciting and popular whitewater rafting experiences in the Adirondacks starts on the Indian River and continues for nearly 15 miles down the Hudson River Gorge. The addition of this 940-acre tract to the Forest Preserve will preserve this wild experience for future generations. The tract is critical to enhancing rafting operations that draw over 25,000 people annually to this region. It is also a key tract in promoting new recreational opportunities by providing

North Countryman Editorial

September 28, 2013

Vote yes on Prop 5

here are few major employers in the Adirondack Park, and we must do everything we can to support them. One of those is NYCO Minerals, which employs 105 North Country residents at their operation in the towns of Willsboro and Lewis. Over the past two years, both houses of the New York State Legislature passed bills supporting a constitutional amendment approving a land swap between the state and the mining company that would grant access to more veins of Wollastonite, a mineral used in paint, plastics used in the automobile industry, brake pads and linings, ceramics, construction materials and more. This swap would allow NYCO to remain viable in Essex County for 10 more years. Currently, the only two Wollastonite mines in the country are located in the North Country, with one site in Lewis and one in Gouverneur. Now it’s up to voters to seal the deal. The final step in the process to transfer the 200 acres known as Lot 8 to NYCO in exchange for 1,500 acres of company-owned property and a promise to return the 200 acres back to the state as reclaimed property is a statewide referendum which will be on the Nov. 5 general election ballot. We urge voters to approve this exchange and vote Ò yesÓ on Proposition 5. This appears to be a win-win situation for NYCO and New York state, plus a win for environmentalists. The state will add 1,500 acres to its Forest Preserve, property that NYCO owns but only touched to take core drilling samples which came back with no traces of the mineral they sought. In addition, the 200 acres that are being loaned to NYCO will be returned as reclaimed property, making 1,700 acres of Forever Wild land returned to the Adirondack Park. It will be good for local municipalities as the 200 acres, currently assessed at $120,000, will now be assessed at near $1 million based on the value of the mineral deposits NYCO is seeking to extract. It will also be good for the North Country because it will keep good jobs here. Some say NYCO can just mine up north and be content, but that would still mean the loss of 100-plus jobs from the North Country economy, jobs that are desperately needed. The proposal has plenty of backing from nearly all sides of the issue. The measure is being supported by United Steelworkers, AFL-CIO, Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages, local and state politicians and Gov. Andrew Cuomo. It has also received the blessing of the Elizabethtown-based Adirondack Council, a leader when it comes to watching out for the environmental interests of the Adirondack Park. Council officials said the additional 1,500 acres of Forest Preserve comprises better habitat for fish and wildlife, 3 miles of streams and has considerably more ecological value than the 200 acres which would be temporarily given up. Executive Director William Janeway further added that Ò the proposed land swap now exceeds our standard for supporting constitutional amendments involving the Forever Wild clause.Ó In addition to the economic benefit, this land swap will be a win for the Adirondack Park, which will receive 1,500 acres of Forever Wild lands contributing to the beauty and serenity of the region we all call home. And we get our 200 acres back from NYCO once they are done mining. The land will be filled back in and reclaimed through seeding. There truly appears to be no losers in this proposed deal. On Nov. 5, as you are deciding who your local elected leaders will be, please take a moment to look at the state propositions and vote in favor of the constitutional land swap between the state and NYCO.

North Countryman - 7

chool is back in session, and some well respected teachers, KATHY CHURCH and LIZ JENSEN, recently shared with us their wisdom about their years of loving instruction, discipline and rewards. The question we posed was, Ò What can students do to be better students?Ó and they had two rapid responses; Ò try your best, your teacher knows when you are and when you are not tryingÓ and Ò talk to your teacher about your concernsÓ . We followed with another question, Ò How can parents help their children be better students?Ó A more complex answer and discussion followed. Their advice makes perfect sense, but following it is much more complicated! Ò Let your children fail, listen to the teachers, limit extra curricular activities by not filling up your children’s schedules (they, and you, need down time), follow the rules (and expect your children follow them), and eat dinner at the table.Ó That response indicates the expertise that they have acquired and through that wisdom, really know what matters. CATHY and LIZ say they are always learning from students and their parents, and after years of trial and error, can see what works! We are often asked questions about parenting and Ò young people today.Ó Parents, extended family, and even employers talk with us about a sense of entitlement that many young people exude. Now, we are not generalizing, we meet more young people that are hard-working, gracious, intelligent, and fun. However; we do feel that often children are running the show instead of the adults. This dynamic can, and often does, lead to chaotic and unhappy interactions in families and in the public domain. In our experience, when the rules are followed, there is much more time to spend on creative learning and less to spend on discipline. When well-rested kids come to school they are ready to learn and when kids sit at a dinner table and have engaged conversations with their family, they feel supported and are able to communicate better with their peers and teachers. In addition to teachers, we also met students; those individuals always open to learning and growing. We found one of those lifeÑ long learners, PETER CADIEUX, relaxing in downtown Plattsburgh putting together his play list for his gig at WINE DOWN, a regular Friday night event at ElfÕ s Winery. Playing base and singing, Peter plays around town and is newly excited about WOOD, WIRE & VOICE, a musical gathering beginning on 3rd Fridays at the United Methodist Church. Beyond playing music, PETER, owner of WEST BAY FINANCIAL, is a big advocate of interns, having had great results in hiring and mentoring a SUNY finance student. Investing in the next generation, PETER believes, is what ensures PlattsburghÕ s growth and vibrancy.

Letters to the Editor

One-sided

To the North Countryman: Shawn RyanÕ s article about the NYCO land swap vote in the Sept. 21 issue is completely unbalanced. Everyone is entitled to her or his opinion but a newspaper should present both sides of an issue. There is no mention of the groups opposed to the constitutional amendment (Protect the Adirondacks and Adirondack Wild). Nor is Oak Hill discussed, NYCOÕ s other mine with an expected life of 16 years or more. It appears NYCO simply wants more land and more profit at the expense of “forever wild” forest. No matter how you look at it, there will be another strip mine scarring the Jay Wilderness for many years if the amendment passes. Timothy Mount Elizabethtown

Disagrees

To the North Countryman: Ò Is there anyone else out thereÉ .?Ó asks one of your letter writers. Well yes. I donÕ t think Mr. KleimanÕ s accusation of Ò racist rantingsÓ by the publisher of the Valley News is accurate or effective. I do think Mr. Alexander has a talent for putting his foot in his mouth. Subsequently defending himself against the charge of racism Mr. Alexander writes Ò É we should not turn a blind eye leaving [many African Americans] to injure and kill each other in these crime ridden communitiesÉ Ó ThatÕ s just clumsy and thoughtless phrasing. It is reminiscent of the fashionable idea of the Ò White ManÕ s BurdenÓ popular about a century ago. It implies that Ò weÓ --whoever that is--donÕ t kill each other like impoverished African Americans do. Mr. Alexander need only to take a better look at any morning newspaper or evening newscast to realize how wrong that is and how foolish he sounds. I prefer to address once again the other issue touched on by your correspondent. Call it the burden carried by your readers.

Week in, week out, the Publisher of the Valley News hyperventilates his political opinions in apparently blissful ignorance of other points of view and with little fear of contradiction. I know of no other newspaper --reputable or otherwise-- that serves up to a captive audience only its ownerÕ s opinions on national issues. The weekly columns written by anonymous editors about local matters hardly remedy this practice . And it certainly does not constitute a public forum that Mr. Alexander receives--as he tells us,-- oh, so many private letters and phone calls commenting on his ideas. There was a time when the Valley News was fun to read. We gladly waited and paid for the varieties of opinion expressed in weekly or bi-weekly or monthly columns signed by staff writers like Fred Herbst, Rob Hall and many others. The Valley News in those days was a community newspaper, a marketplace of opinions, an example of a free press on which, --as Thomas Jefferson wrote,-- our liberty depends. Its not that any longer. Carl Resek Westport

Franklin County, and Joint Council for Economic Opportunity (JCEO). The food drive was a success! We doubled the amount from last year with 570 food items and $350 being donated by concerned residents through workplace collections and individual givers. A colossal thank you goes out to all the citizens that contributed to the success of the 9/11 food drive by either donating or volunteering their time to collect the must needed food items. The generous outpouring of support is what makes our region a COMMUNITY! A special Thank you goes out to Shirley Hosler who volunteered for four days sitting outside the Adirondack Daily Enterprise collecting over 150 food items and over $350 in money that was donated to the Saranac Lake Food Pantry.

Appreciative of support

VoiceYourOpinion

To the North Countryman: In 2009, Congress designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance and charged the Corporation for National and Community Service with helping to support this effort across the country. The Sept. 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance established the inspiring tradition of Americans engaging in charitable service on 9/11 as an annual and forwardlooking tribute to the victims, survivors, and those who rose up in service in response to the attacks. The North Country Regional Volunteer Center operated by the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. held a food drive in conjunction with Adirondack Community Action Program (ACAP), Adirondack Daily Enterprise, Catholic Charities of

Return the opened clams and add the chopped chives and toss to coat. Separate into 2 large pasta bowls and serve.

Longtime executive chef at Anthony’s now at the helm PLATTSBURGH Ñ If thereÕ s something special about AnthonyÕ s Restaurant and Bistro, besides the superior quality of the dining experience, itÕ s their consistency. ThatÕ s exactly how Executive Chef and owner Scott Murray likes it. Murray joined the team at AnthonyÕ s in 1983 as Sous Chef, just three years after Drew and Linda Sabella opened the restaurant, with the goal of bringing fine quality dining to Plattsburgh. He was just 21 years old when he started at AnthonyÕ s. By the time he was 22, less than a year later, he was head chef. Ò So the situation was; Ô lets go with young staff, young owners, young restaurant, and lets see if we can grow with PlattsburghÕ ,Ó said Murray. Grow they have. Today AnthonyÕ s is one of the most recognized restaurants in Plattsburgh, and according to Murray, itÕ s the consistency that comes from the longevity of a dedicated and long established staff that makes it that way. MurrayÕ s Sous Chef, Amy Upton, has been at AnthonyÕ s for 24 years. Their Third Chef has been at AnthonyÕ s for 20 years, and the Fourth Chef and Pantry Chef have been there for 17 years each. The youngest member of the kitchen staff has been at AnthonyÕ s six years. That same type of longevity can be found with the waitstaff as well. Ò So when you look right down the line, youÕ re looking at career oriented restaurant workers,Ó said Murray. Ò YouÕ re not looking CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

United Way From page 1

Clinton, Essex and Franklin continues with offices in Elizabethtown, Malone and Plattsburgh. Its volunteer board of directors has worked to unite a cross section of volunteers and agencies, both public and private, in a community-wide effort to deliver needed health and human service programs. UWAR Board President Gerald Morrow said because government canÕ t be everywhere there are people like the dedicated UWAR volunteers who step in to help. Ò The middle class used to be the middle class, but now they are the working poor,Ó Morrow said. Executive Director of the UWAR, John Bernardi, said the large crowd was a symbol of the incredible generosity and caring nature of the North Country. During the breakfast, the newest campaign video was de-

buted. Ellen Gordon and DaleAnne Wolter, this yearÕ s campaign cochairs, both spoke on how the UWAR has touched their lives and the commitment they have on making the $725,000 goal set this year. Kathy Snow, Director of Development and Marion Daniels, Director of Finance then announced the pacesetter results. The pacesetters are businesses and organizations that complete their campaign before the kick-off. The total pacesetter totals were $137,064.57, which brings in 18.9 percent of the UWARÕ s annual fund-raising goal. Some of

the top fund-raisers were; Northern Insuring Company that raised $13,004, Northeast Group that raised $13,500 and the top fundraiser was Nine Platt Hospitality Group which raised $16,135. The event concluded with all 216 attendees singing happy birthday to Morrow. Ò IÕ m glad everyone was able to make it to my birthday breakfast,Ó Morrow had joked at the beginning of the event.

animals at her store while her case was adjudicated. Michael was arrested for allegedly abandoning the 24 puppies that were at the store when Staley lost her license, in wooded areas around Clinton County. Michael also allegedly staged a burglary at Northern Puppies when he took the animals, but no charges were filed for that incident. Michael told authorities he abandoned the puppies to avoid paying veterinary bills and food costs to take care of the dogs. Nineteen of the 24 puppies were located by City Police and North Country residents. Five puppies were never found. Plattsburgh City Police Chief Desmond Racicot reported that all the puppies which had been found and turned in to the city police have been adopted, and all are doing well. Racicot said that the city police department, which is responsible for veterinary bills while the case is being prosecuted, has recently received a grant for $15,000 from the national ASPCA to help with those costs, along with a significant amount of money from individual private donations. Racicot thanked the people of the North Country, along with donors from across the country, for their generosity in donations to the department. Private donations reached approximately $11,000. Ò We donÕ t have enough words to say thank you,Ó Racicot said. Ò This will make it possible to help with future cases. This case has opened up resource doors that we didnÕ t know were available to us.Ó Racicot said the department, and thus the city of Plattsburgh, has been responsible for approximately $90,000 over the past five years for the care of animals involved in animal abuse cases.

Anthony’s

From page 9 at people using this as a stepping stone for somewhere else. TheyÕ re career oriented, and have found themselves contributing to the success of this restaurant.Ó Little has changed at AnthonyÕ s over the years, by design. Even a decision like updating a chandelier is painstakingly debated by Murray. One thing that has changed though, very quietly, is the ownership of AnthonyÕ s. In 2009, the SabellaÕ s decided to retire, and they offered to sell the restaurant they loved to Murray. The transition, Murray said, was seamless. Ò The staff stayed the same. My big thing was to keep it quiet. For me it was more important for the community to just think that AnthonyÕ s is still AnthonyÕ s, and not that thereÕ s been a change that they have to look for.Ó Nearly five years after the changeover, the vision that started Anthony’s is still alive and well.

More than 40 horses seized from Essex farm By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com ESSEX Ñ Forty-one horses were seized from a residence in Essex Sept. 20 by officers of the Essex County Sheriffs Department because the owners failed to provide proper sustenance for the animals. No charges have yet been filed and the name or names of the owner of the horses had not been released as of early Monday afternoon. A press release issued Sept. 20 by the Clerk of the Essex County Board of Supervisors, said county officials, working with the co-chairs of the countyÕ s Animal Cruelty Task Force Committee, Essex Supervisor Sharon Boisen and Lewis Supervisor Dave Blades, seized the horses for alleged violations under the Agriculture and Market Law. Also involved were the North Country SPCA, Crane Mountain Valley Horse Rescue and volunteers. Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting confirmed that the horses were taken because their caregivers failed to provide them proper sustenance. Ò Essex County, as required by law, accepted the responsibility for providing temporary shelter for the horses which were determined by independent veterinarians to be seriously neglected and in need of immediate feed and

care,Ó County Manager Dan Palmer said in the press release. Ò Our hope is to quickly restore these horses to good health. Any assistance the public can offer would be greatly appreciated.Ó District Attorney Kristy Sprague said as of Monday afternoon, Sept. 23, no charges had been filed. The names of the owner of the horses had also not been released as of early Monday afternoon. Boison refused comment on the case and asked a reporter not to publish photographs taken of the malnourished horses at the Essex County Fairgrounds where some of the animals are being nursed back to health. Boison was at the fairgrounds Monday, where horses were kept in stalls blocked off by yellow police tape. With Boison was Ed Mrozik of the Crane Mountain Valley Horse Rescue, along with Animal Cruelty Task Force Committee member and North Country SPCA Executive Director Jessica Hartley. Because of the strict dietary needs of the horses, monetary donations for the feed and care of the horses is being requested by the members of the Essex County Animal Cruelty Task Force. To donate, people should contact Tam Mrose of the Animal Cruelty Task Force at 834-7849. Donation checks can be sent and made payable directly to the Essex County Treasurers Office, P.O. Box 217, Elizabethtown, NY, 12932. Anyone issuing a check is asked to indicate on the memo line of the check Ñ Horse Care.

Town of Clinton to dedicate veterans’ park

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com CHURUBUSCO Ñ The recently completed veteranÕ s park on Route 189, across from Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, will be dedicated on Oct. 5, at 10:30 a.m.. The wooden memorial which is the centerpiece of the park, stands nearly 7 feet tall, and was designed and built to reflect a memorial to past veterans of the area. The old memorial listed the names of service men and women from the area who had served through World War II. The new monument lists the names of those people from the Town of Clinton who have served from the Civil War up through the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The monument was built by local residents Victor Silver and Donald Decosse, both members of Northern Lights VFW Post 8793. Ò They took the initiative to do it because thereÕ s nothing to all the veterans in this town,Ó said Diane Lagree, Town of Clinton Historian. The project took Silver and Decosse about two years to complete.

The tone to the music is entirely organic, focusing on the music from the guitar, bass and drum set, with small touches of subtle electronics (synthesizer, pedals and drum pad) to help deepen the collective array of sounds between the three members. With these tools, Ben Chilbert, Collin Jones and Riley Dichairo successfully transport the listener to a brand new sonic dimension. For more information call 563-2222.

September 28, 2013 ing and Fishing Day. For some odd reason, the date is still not recognized as a national holiday, despite the many contributions hunters and anglers have provided to preserve our sporting heritage and enhance the opportunities for citizens to get outside.

Go Team Go! Catch that Bass!

I remember when the snow was this deep?

n recent years, the arrival of the annual big game hunting season has featured conditions more in keeping with summerÕ s heat, than autumnÕ s cool breeze. For the past few seasons, IÕ ve been decked out in cotton camo more often than woolies and long johns for the opening day. Fortunately, it appears the local weather patterns may have attempted a return to normal this year. Already, the region has experienced some hard frosts, and thereÕ s snow cover capping the High Peaks. Snow in September, and the peak of fall foliage arriving before the Columbus Day weekend. WhatÕ s going on here? Maybe it is just natureÕ s way of letting us know who is ultimately in control of the earthÕ s climate. Scientists may like to believe mankind has been responsible for all the sweeping climate changes weÕ ve experienced in recent years, with global warming, the massive glacial retreats and ever shrinking ice caps. Yet, when viewed through the lens of time in a truly geologic sense, the burgeoning global warming weÕ ve experienced in recent decades is likely not much more than a blip on the worldÕ s historic weather radar. Humans tend to view the progress and processes of the natural world in a truly irrational and egocentric sense. We prefer our time to be measured by the generation, rather than by the epoch. The human lifespan is far too brief to be truly defining, except for a spell in the mid 1980Õ s when disco arrived, and country music was nearly compromised. There is no doubt global climate change is for real, at least for those of us who have managed to survive through several generations, like the 50’s, 60’s or 70’s! People have asked if I believe the weather will ever return to

normal. My response has always been less ponderous and more a matter of fact. Weather changes. When I was a kid, IÕ d swear the snow banks on my side of the street were the size of Mt. Marcy. It began snowing in September and didnÕ t quit until April, or sometimes May. And I remember praying for a snow day in June, just before a big spelling exam. I also seem to recall the fish I caught were always bigger, the lapse between my birthdays was always longer, and Santa actually believed I had been a very good boy, once. Fortunately for me, video cameras and instant replay didnÕ t roll around until another generation had passed. In retrospect, it’s difficult to deny the existence of the numerous on the ground effects of climate change. All it takes to convince me is a short visit to any of the local rivers or streams. I’ve been paddling and fishing these homegrown rivers for over half a century, and in all those years, IÕ ve never witnessed destruction on such a grand scale as weÕ ve experienced in the past decade. I never believed it couldÕ ve been any worse. However, after reading testimony of the horrible floods that wracked the Ausable Valley back in the mid 1800Õ s, I discover how much worse it had been. Hurricane Irene may have slashed and crashed through the Ausable Valley in 2011, but the Great Floods of the Ausable in the 1850Õ s triggered by historic rains and the collapse of the dam on the Lower Ausable Lake, swept away every bridge, mill and dam on the entire river, from Keene Valley to Lake Champlain. But who knows, maybe they just didnÕ t build their bridges, dams or mills worth a damn. It would be interesting to know what nature has yet in store. Maybe in 2113, while studying the Great Adirondack Floods of 2011, a researcher will uncover a story about how the Adirondack region actually used to have snow and ice in January and February.

On the Hunt

Although the opening day of the regular big game hunting season is still a month away, hunters have been in the woods since Sept. 14 when the early bear season began. September 20 marks the opening day for Ruffed Grouse, and pheasant season begins on Oct. 1. On Sept. 27, the number of hunters will swell as the early archery season for whitetails begins. September 28 will be a good day to be in field or on the water in celebration of National Hunt-

The headline caught my eye immediately. It read, Ò New Hampshire High School Bass Tournament.Ó Increasingly, schools across the nation have begun hosting Varsity level Bass Tournaments. In fact, the National High School Bass Fishing Tournament regularly draws more than 1,500 high school bass teams to compete. In early September, as most New Hampshire high school student athletes took to the gridiron or the soccer field to test their athletic prowess, there was a small group of non-traditional high school athletes competing on the nearby lakes. But instead of passing a football or kicking a soccer ball, they were casting a PigÕ n Jig or drop-shotting a Senko worm. This new breed of athlete doesnÕ t need to be the fastest runner, and they may not be able to jump higher or throw faster than other athletes. But they do know how to catch bass, and fast. In all there will be 54 teams registered teams from 39 New Hampshire schools competing in the upcoming New Hampshire High School Bass Tournament on Lake Winnisquam on Oct. 5. There will be no cheerleaders or marching bands at the competition, only leader boards and rubber bands. The only tackle to be found will be in their boxes. The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) will conduct the event, with assistance from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and the New Hampshire B.A.S.S. Nation. With small town athletes lining the shores of Lake Champlain from Rouses Point to Whitehall, I have to wonder why there still isnÕ t a single High School Bass Fishing Team on either side of the Big Lake. It is especially troubling since Lake Champlain regularly ranks as one of the best bass lakes in the country, and regularly hosts some of the top bass tournaments in the country Maybe itÕ s time for our local school boards to take a serious look at the Ò leader boardÓ when the next ProBass Tournament comes to town. Nearly every college in the Pac Ten Football Conference supports a Collegiate Bass Fishing Team, and there are thousands of dollars in scholarships available for bass fishing athletes. And if not for the educational opportunities, then for the benefit and protection of the precious natural resource itself. If local youth do not have the means or the knowledge to utilize and enjoy their local natural resources, they will not learn to value them. And if the resources do not hold any value, they will be less likely to be cherished and protected. It is an easy path to follow, especially if youÕ re chasing a host of other boats.
