Literacy group preps for adult learners with tutor training By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ Children throughout the country are back in school. So are some adults. Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties is preparing to welcome adult learners this fall, according to Maria Burke, director. Ò Our mission is to enable people over the age of 16 to achieve personal goals through student-centered literacy tutoring,Ó Burke said. Ò This past year we supported more than 140 adult learners, and trained more than 40 volunteer tutors. Sixty seven percent of our students showed academic improvement by at least one grade level.Ó With a office in Port Henry, Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties is an affiliate of Literacy New York, one of the stateÕ s largest

nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing the cause of adult literacy and basic education. Burke said illiteracy is a major problem in the North Country. “Many of these adults find ways to hide this fact from their coworkers and friendsÑ even their own families,Ó she said. Ò Common avoidance techniques include finding an excuse to steer clear of reading aloud, hiding their writing from others or committing everything to memory to avoid jotting things down.Ó Literacy Volunteers would like to help those in need. Ò As children and teens go back to school, this is the perfect time for adults in need of educational services to take this important step to improve their own literacy skills,Ó Burke said. “Being illiterate is not a joke and can be difficult to recognize and admit. Our organization helps adults address their literacy challenges. Trained

tutors work one-on-one with adults who need help with basic reading, English-as-a-secondlanguage and math skills. We also provide literacy programs in local correctional facilities Ñ Moriah Shock, Adirondack in Ray Brook, Bare Hill in Malone, and we recently partnered with Franklin County Jail as well. Ò With the new GED exam we also anticipate a rush of adult learners who would like to receive their High School Equivalency Diploma before the end of the year,Ó Burke said. Ò ThereÕ s not much time left, and there are only two testing dates available for adults in our region. The new GED will be more rigorous, computerbased and access will be limited. Thankfully, the New York State Education Department will offer an alternative high school equivalent exam called the Test Assessing Secondary Completion, which should be ready to roll out in early 2014. It, too, will be more rigorous, but

more accessible and still available in a paper and pencil format.Ó Interested people can call Burke at 546-3008. Literacy Volunteers is also seeking volunteers this fall. Ò In order to support these adult learners, Literacy Volunteers relies heavily upon dedicated volunteer tutors who provide one-on-one or small group instruction to native and non-native English speakers,Ó Burke said. Ò Volunteer tutors are patient, compassionate, flexible and willing to give at least two hours a week to his/ her adult learner. Tutors are expected to attend the tutor training prior to being matched with a student.Ó Literacy Volunteers will have a tutor training session at its office in Port Henry Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 1 p.m. For more information call Burke at 546-3008.

Artists at Work Studio Tour this weekend through region

SARANAC LAKE Ñ Once again, dozens of artists in the northern Adirondacks will open their doors to visitors the last weekend in September, this year from Sept. 27-29. With the annual Tour Guide booklet, as well as the Saranac Lake ArtWorks website, visitors will be able to plan out individualized routes that can take them through the colorful foliage of the Adirondack autumn from Saranac Lake to Paul Smiths or Lake Placid, through Wilmington and Jay, and all the way to Ausable Forks to see what artists are up to in their studios. Published each year before the September tour, this little booklet is found year-round in local art galleries and other businesses. The artists are listed by community, so if you are driving to see studios during the tour, youÕ ll know who is nearby. Check out the listing for each artist to be sure the studio is open on the day you want to visit. There are also maps, with locations of each studio on the maps keyed to artist by numbers. ItÕ s another great way to see who is nearby when you are out driving your own tour route. In some communities, like Saranac Lake and Jay, you can park then

walk to several studios. Another way to visit several artists at one stop is to check out one or more of the Artist Outpost locations, where three to vour artists set up their mobile studios to be more accessible to more visitors. This year, these Outposts are located at the Adirondack Carousel in Saranac Lake, the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, and the Paul SmithÕ s College Visitor Interpretive Center. YouÕ ll get to see the group of artists, as well as the added bonuses each venue offers. Take a ride on that hand carved Blackfly at the Carousel; check out the current art exhibit at the LP Center for the Arts; or take a hike or participate in the second annual Homesteading Festival at the VIC. There will be small fee charged on Saturday, Sept. 28, to attend the Festival and the Studio Tour only at the VIC. All other Outposts and studios are free each day. The Tour Guide booklets are now available at the Adirondack Artists Guild, NorthWind Fine Arts gallery, and many other businesses in the northern Adirondacks. You can also find the digital version of the booklet at SaranacLakeArtWorks.com/StudioTour.

Viewpoint

Vote yes on Prop 5

Unique Navy Yard perspective

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.

Letters to the Editor

One-sided

To the Valley News: 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 Ò forever wildÓ 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 Valley News: 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

Appreciative of support To the Valley News: 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 forward-looking 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 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. Kathy Snow Director of Development United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. Plattsburgh

Correction

Information was incorrectly reported in the Barber Campground story printed in the Sept. 21 issue of the Valley News. The campground is located south of the hamlet of Westport; the Adirondack Park Agency issued its initial permit in 1993; and the campgroundÕ s potable water is served by WestportÕ s municipal water system, which would not be overloaded by the expansion, according to the APAÕ s Tom Saehrig.

he five Towns consisting of Minerva, Newcomb, North Hudson, Indian Lake and Long Lake are working together to take advantage of the recent and future State acquisition of the former Finch Pruyn and other Nature Conservancy Lands. We, known as the Upper Hudson Recreation Hub, are the Towns most affected by this purchase. It is we who have the hope that through the vision of Gov. Cuomo and DEC Commissioner Martens, we will see the increase in tourism revenue that they have alluded to. This could result in new businesses opening up and seasonal businesses being able to remain open year round. It could revitalize our failing economies. These lands have the potential of providing a vast array of new recreational opportunities on lands heretofore inaccessible by

the general public. These new recreational opportunities could provide the stimulus for increased tourism in our five towns. At the crux of this vision and hope is the classification of these lands now being considered by the APA, at present for the Essex Chain of Lakes and Indian River Tracts and, in the future, the Boreas Ponds Tract. Together these tracts, depending on the classification, would provide the base for trails connecting our five towns via the extensive network of maintained roads formerly used as logging and access roads. This would connect our towns and offer opportunities for snowmobiling, mountain biking, horseback riding, as well as hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, canoeing and skiing never before possible. The classification of these tracts is primarily between Wilderness - the most restrictive - and Wild Forest, a less restrictive classification which would allow for reasonable motorized access and mountain biking, which a Wilderness clas-

sification would not. Following the classification process by the APA, the DEC will develop a Unit Management Plan (UMP), hopefully soliciting the inputs of the five towns. It is through the UMP that the permitted uses of these lands will be decided, but with a Wilderness Classification many of those uses would be off the table, simply not permitted, and therefore much of the conversation regarding the Unit Management Plan would be over. Under a Wilderness Classification access would be severely limited and many of our elderly, families with small children, handicapped, disabled and physically challenged would simply not be able to access these ponds, lakes, rivers and streams. The five towns believe that these areas should have reasonable access to all people, that it is their right, not a privilege as some would have it. We also believe that that the farmhouse at the Outer Gooley Club and the Lodge and support buildings on the Boreas Ponds be maintained and be used for training and education purposes,

information centers, outposts, or as lodging. The five towns therefore ardently support a land classification for the Essex Chain of Lakes and Indian River Tracts of Wild Forest, allowing the DEC to work with local governments in developing a UMP that both provides for access for all, various forms of recreational opportunity and preservation of the priceless beauty of our park and its fragile ecological infrastructure. A Wilderness classification will not allow for reasonable access for many and will not permit many of the recreational opportunities we feel essential to increased tourism revenue. For example, not even mountain biking is permissible in Wilderness areas. A Wild Forest classification of these and future State Land acquisitions is the only classification that will allow for a fair and balanced UMP to be discussed.

Haewa to play at Monopole

PLATTSBURGH — Haewa to perform at Monopole, 17 Protection Ave, on Sept. 27 at 10 p.m. Haewa was formed in late 2011 in Rochester. From deep pychedelia to funk and more, they create pulsating grooves which are complimented by textural blankets of ambience. These energetic improvisations lead audience members in and out of songs, both instrumental and lyrical. 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.

Smart growth project eyed in Au Sable Forks, four other hamlets By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Five Adirondack hamlets Ñ including Au Sable Forks Ñ were chosen to adopt smart growth concepts as part of the Hamlets 3 project, and residents are invited to explore these community development ideas and offer their suggestions during a set of workshops Sept. 26-28. Three hamlets are from Hamilton County Ñ Indian Lake, Blue Mountain Lake and Long Lake. One is from Fulton County Ñ Caroga Lake. And the final one — Au Sable Forks — straddles two counties, Clinton and Essex. The workshops will be led by Roger Trancik, of Urban Design Consultants in Ithaca. He is a professor emeritus of landscape architecture and city and regional planning at Cornell University and the developer of the Hamlets 3 project. ÒT he whole idea is to plant these ideas,Ó Trancik said. ÒW eÕ ve had workshops previous to identify the sites, and now weÕ re coming back with design proposals that we want the community to evaluate.Ó During the workshops, Trancik will have a worksheet and breakout groups where people can sketch out their own ideas based on some of the concepts, and evaluate alternatives. The workshop dates are listed below. •Caroga, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 26, Caroga Town Hall •Au Sable Forks, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 26, Jay Town Offices •Indian Lake, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., Friday, Sept. 27, Indian Lake Town Hall •Blue Mountain Lake, 3-6 p.m., Friday, Sept. 27, Adirondack Museum •Long Lake, 9 a.m. - noon, Saturday, Sept. 28, Long Lake Central School This is the second phase of the Hamlets 3 project: selecting five hamlets in the Adirondack Park to conduct a series of workshops to try to generate some projects based on the model of smart growth principles outlined in the Hamlets 3 book published in December 2010. The book, ÒH amlets 3: Planning for Smart Growth and Expansion of Hamlets in the Adirondack Park,Ó written by Trancik, was the first phase of the project. It built upon two studies from the 1980s:

The Rolling Hill Mill Road site offers a variety of housing types enabling diverse income levels and multi-generational living arrangements, according to the plan. ÒW ith ample common space, a site for a community garden, and some housing units in clusters or Ô pocket neighborhoods,Õ the site arrangement engenders an open sense of community while preserving privacy,Ó the plan states. ÒT he site also feaAn Au Sable forks hamlet plan is part of the discussion Sept. 26 at the Jay tures walking trails connecting with nature as well Community Center. as other areas of the hamHamlets of the Adirondacks 1 and 2. let.Ó ÒI n other words, weÕ re trying to put the book into action,Ó Trancik said. ÒT he upcoming workshops are the final series of workshops in those hamlets.Ó With the help of community leaders, Trancik has identified specific sites in each of the five hamlets to develop a project based on the principles and the planning model they developed in the first phase. ÒE ach hamlet has a very different set of problems and conditions, and weÕ re trying to illustrate that,Ó Trancik said. ÒY ou know these principles can apply in a lot of different contexts given the regulatory environment in the Adirondack Park. There are a lot of possibilities for sound, sustainable economic investment and good planning and design that can help these communities in the future.Ó The overall goal of the second phase is to Òr evitalize and empower Adirondack hamlets through direct training and example.Ó ÒA u Sable Forks has got a very special problem,Ó Trancik said. ÒH urricane Irene wiped out a huge part of that hamlet, so weÕ re showing how they can expand very close to the hamlet, still within walking distance or a short drive, on to higher ground.Ó The project in Au Sable Forks will show a new residential cluster or what they call a Ò pocket neighborhood” development above the flood plain.

The other projects are: Caroga, new hamlet center; Indian Lake, core improvements to the downtown; Blue Mountain Lake, new hotel; and Long Lake, Jennings Pond Park. Developing smart growth around existing hamlet centers has two major benefits: 1. It enables the community to integrate land suitable for development into the fabric of the existing hamlet. 2. It complements the protection of open space by discouraging visually unappealing and inefficient sprawl and strip development. Smart growth principles include: form and place; boundaries; walkability and human-scale; access to nature; compact centers; energy and sustainability; jobs and housing; travel choices; visual quality; resource preservation; and collective decision-making.

Dirty Dogs to benefit Champlain Valley K9 rescue group By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE Ñ The Champlain Valley Search & Rescue K9 Unit (CVK9) wants people to get muddy for a good cause. The all-volunteer non-profit search and rescue unit based out of Keeseville assists local agencies with wildland search and rescue for lost children, hikers or hunters, and have been called all around the country following natural disasters for urban search and rescue, as well as cadaver recovery. Ò The year we had all the tornados we were called all around the country. We would touch down at home, then get called out again,Ó said Shannon Bresett, one of the founding members of the group. The group has been around for several years, but officially became a not-for-profit, and incorporated in 2009. They operate totally on a volunteer basis. They currently have six dogs either in service or in training, and two who have retired. In this area, Bresett says, the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is the agency first called out for K-9 services, but her unit is often called in soon after. Ò The air dogs are the first guys we send out, like when a child has been missing for a half hour or so,Ó Bresette said. Ò After that comes the tracking dogs.Ó As a last resort the unit calls on Inca, their cadaver dog. Inca often gets the most work

Inca, a German Shepherd with the Champlain Valley Search and Rescue K-9 unit, takes a break during a search in northern New York. Photo provided of the group. While they operate primarily under mutual aid in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Warren Counties, they are not eligible for the same

grants that fire departments receive, since they are not a tax-based municipality. Ò Fund-raising is an integral part of our budget. A majority of our money does come

from fund-raising,Ó Bresette said. When they were brainstorming for fundraising ideas, the idea of an adventure challenge race came up, and the inaugural CVK9 Dirty Dog Fun Run was born. Ò Adventure races were just coming up, they werenÕ t a household thing yet,Ó said Brittany Taylor, fundraising chair for the group said. Ò It lets people know about what we do, plus it raises some money for a good cause.Ó The race will take place at Titus Mountain Family Ski Center on Oct. 19. ItÕ s a 7 kilometer (about 4 and a half mile) race up and down the lower slopes of the mountain, and will traverse 19 obstacles including mud, climbing and endurance obstacles. There will also be events for spectators, plus craft and food vendors, and a live band. All participants receive a race T-shirt, and finishers will receive a special finishers dog tag. Prizes will be awarded for the top three finishers in male, female and teen categories. The race starts at 1 p.m., with waves of starters going out every 20 minutes until 4 p.m.. Racers can request a time slot, but the slots are given out on a first-come, firstserved basis, and when a slot is full, it is closed. Currently 250 people have registered. Taylor is hoping to reach 500 adventurous runners by race day. For more information go to www.dirtydogrun.com, or check out their Facebook page at CVK9 Dirty Dog Run.

Photo exhibit of new work by Burdette Parks to open SARANAC LAKE Ñ A new photo exhibit, Heads and Tales, opening at the Adirondack ArtistsÕ Gallery on Oct. 4, represents a revived exploration for Burdette Parks. Most of his photography since landing in the Adirondacks twentythree years ago has been devoted to capturing the splendors of the landscapes and natural wonders of this beguiling wilderness place. But in this exhibit, he returns to a landscape

he explored for many years while working in the theater - the equally fascinating landscape of the human face. Burdette calls Heads and Tales a portrait project. In creating the show, he has done portrait sittings with a variety of people using a consistent Ò studioÓ lighting setup and is presenting the results as a collection of framed facial landscapes. During each sitting, he had the sitter tell a

story of their choosing. But he encouraged them to tell the story with their hands and photographed the hands during the telling. Photos of those storytelling hands will be an integral part of the exhibit along with the text of the stories told. Faces are rich in detail and variety. Studying other peopleÕ s faces intently can provoke embarrassment or even be interpreted as rude, anti-social behavior. Just like pictures of objects or

landscapes, portraits can be assessed quickly and superficially and passed over. But having a representation of the person in front of us instead of the real person, we are afforded the opportunity to really study the face without the sense of intrusion. The exhibit opens at the gallery of the Adirondack ArtistsÕ Guild at 52 Main Street in Saranac Lake. There will be an opening reception from five to seven on Friday, Oct. 4 open to

everyone. The show will be up for the month of October along with works by the other members of the Adirondack ArtistsÕ Guild. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and noon until 3 p.m. on Sundays. The gallery is closed on Mondays but will be open on Columbus Day. The Guild is on the web at adirondackartistsguild.com, and on Facebook at Adirondack Artists Guild.

I remember when the snow was this deep?

TL • Valley News - 11

www.valleynewsadk.com

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 50Õ s, 60Õ s or 70Õ 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 Hunting 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!

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.

Flynn releases, ‘Adirondack Park: A User’s Guide’ SARANAC LAKE Ñ Hungry Bear Publishing recently released the print version of Ò New YorkÕ s Adirondack Park: A UserÕ s Guide,Ó by Andy Flynn & Friends, which answers the question Ð Ò What is the Adirondack Park?Ó A Kindle version was released on Amazon.com in February 2013. With information from the Adirondack Park’s leading government, not-for-profit and historical organizations, the Ò UserÕ s GuideÓ gives the public Ð residents and visitors Ð a valuable reference guide that helps them safely and responsibly use the state-owned Forest Preserve. It gives them informational links to community assets, such as attractions, special events, communications, transportation, tourism organizations, and recreational opportunities. There are also helpful tips on using the Forest Preserve, hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, bicycling and more. Ò If thereÕ s one book every Adirondack visitor should have in hand when they arrive, it is the Ô Adirondack Park UserÕ s Guide,Õ Ó said Flynn, who drew upon his eight years of tourism industry experience as a public relations specialist for the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) Visitor Interpretive Centers to compile this book. Ò This is a quick reference to who operates the Adirondack Park and why it is so special.

Ò We should pass a law: I really think this book should be included with the deed when people

buy property in the Park,Ó said Kimberly Rielly, director of communications, Lake Placid CVB/ Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism. The book includes 13 of FlynnÕ s stories from the Ò Adirondack Attic,Ó straight from the archives of the Adirondack Museum, to help illustrate the Ò how-toÓ aspects of using the Forest Preserve and give a much-needed historical perspective. The stories also humanize the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park, since itÕ s the

communities that make this place so unique. Ò Ô New YorkÕ s Adirondack Park: A UserÕ s GuideÕ belongs on everyoneÕ s book shelf, whether Park resident or visitor,Ó said Caperton Tissot, author of Ò Adirondack Ice: A Cultural and Natural History.Ó Ò Finally there is a good resource to help us understand what goes on inside the Blue Line.

Nehemiah Construction Builder aims to plug void in specialty heating and cooling in North Country By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID Ñ Need heating or cooling? Is mold a problem? Perhaps youÕ re in the market for a closed loop geo-thermal system, or a wood gasification boiler? If so, Paul Tremblay of Nehemiah Mechanical Systems has seen it all before. Tremblay has been doing construction, and specifically Ò mechanicals,Ó since he got out of the Marines in 1982. Ò We do geo-thermal, we do heating and cooling, we do refrigeration, air conditioning, we do some potable water plumbing, water and mold remediation, ventilation, hybrid wood-fired systems, wood gasification boilers, and we do Generac stand by generators,Ó he said. With a background in construction and project management, Tremblay has watched the mechanicals side of his business take off in the last three years. And he feels heÕ s filling a void that not many other building contractors in this area do. Ò WeÕ ve been at this a long, long time,Ó Paul said, while taking a break overlooking a scenic Adirondack landscape in the backyard of

a project he is completing in Wilmington. Ò We do whatÕ s right for the client.Ó Several Adirondack landmarks color his lengthy resume, like Camp Topridge in Paul Smiths, as well as numerous high-end homes around the area. From single family residential to large scale commercial projects, Tremblay has probably seen it before, and knows how best to stretch your heating and cooling dollar and lower your carbon footprint, mitigate your mold or have your home ready for the inevitable power failure. While he steers his business away from ground-up construction to installation and servicing of mechanicals, he still plans to keep some of the construction end of things alive, specifically in consulting on and repairing log homes. Ò When people build log homes they call us, because there are a lot of ways to do it wrong. There are a lot of kits out there, some are good, some are not so good. We help them, because the heating needs, and the humidity needs and the insulation needs, theyÕ re different than a standard house. We do a lot of consulting.Ó Paul, a Syracuse native, met his wife Beth while he was doing a project management job in the Adirondacks. She wasnÕ t going to leave, and he decided heÕ d rather be here than anywhere else, so he decided to stay. After working on several project management jobs, Paul and Beth went into business for themselves.
