I’LL EAT YOUR FACE
This Week BOOKS
By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ On a scale of one to 10, it was an 11. ThatÕ s how World War II U.S. Army veteran George Douglas remembers his Oct. 12 Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. Recounting that day, he runs through a lengthy list of the experiences he had, each one rivaling the next in importance and excitement. Ò I think it was one of the greatest things IÕ ve ever done,Ó Douglas said. Ò When Bob Brooks sang that National Anthem (at the send-off ceremony) ... if you watched him ... he lived it. I donÕ t think there was a dry eye in the audience.Ó One of the things that touched Douglas the most was the stack of letters he was CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

school officials to have on hand to give out if a child comes in need. Ò One lady dropped off 80 pairs of mittens,Ó said Coonrod. Ò Another time I had a box come in the mail from Syracuse, from someone who had heard about it online.Ó Coonrod, a retired educator, collects the hats, mittens and scarfs in various sizes and colors all year round, and passes them out to schools as soon as the weather turns cold. Ò There are so many parents who work very hard every day just to make ends meet. Sometimes they are too proud to ask for assistance,Ó she said.

Living Goods closes downtown to reopen in Peru By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Living Goods Restaurant, a downtown food destination, planned to close its Margaret Street doors on Oct. 26. The restaurant will move 12 miles south to the former Crickets Casual Food & Spirits: Restaurant location on Bear Swamp Road. Business owners Matt and Jess Ray announced the move over the summer and let people know they might be moving, but theyÕ ll be moving up. Ò WeÕ ll be opening up the new place as a brewpub,Ó Matt said.Ó We have some construction to do, but we plan on having a soft opening for the restaurant around Nov. 20, and the brewery should open next year.Ó Matt said the news of the move sparked an assortment of responses. Some were unhappy they would be losing their walk-to spot for food, while others were happy for the Rays. Ò Some people said we turned our backs on Plattsburgh, but we really hope they see the opportunity that has opened up,Ó Jess said. The pair searched downtown for five years looking for a place that would be financially feasible to turn into their dream brewpub. Ò We looked at many places. The mayor of Plattsburgh even helped us, but we ended up having to look outside of Plattsburgh,Ó Jess said. Ò We hope to make everyone proud of what we’ve all worked so hard to build, and we hope people will find the new place is more accessible and (bring) us closer to farmers we hope to network with.Ó Although people have had mixed feelings about the move, the Rays are positive the move will bring their restaurant to its fullest potential. Ò IÕ ve heard all of it, but the general vibe is excitement,Ó Matt said. Ò Geographically, weÕ ll be moving closer to some of our other customers that travel from out of town.Ó The new location is directly off of Interstate 87, opening up the restaurant to those traveling through to Canada and skiers on their way to Lake Placid. Unlike the downtown location, Matt said space will not be an
issue. The maximum occupancy at the downtown location is 83, and the new place will be able to hold up to 200 people. Ò Our new location is three times the size of the old place. It has private parking. WeÕ ll be able to accommodate larger parties, and weÕ ll be able to provide more services than we have,Ó he said. The move comes at a time where Matt and his growing family are ready for the new challenges. “We’re at a point now where financially we can take the next step to grow,Ó he said. The food people have come to know will remain the same, Matt said. It will continue to be made 90 percent from scratch, made to order, and offer a wide variety of Ò American upscaleÓ options. Ò WeÕ re going to try to change up the menu and get a little more dynamic with local stuff,Ó Matt said. Ò My menu hasnÕ t changed in eight years. ItÕ s time for a change without getting rid of the customer favorites.Ó
Brewpub
Matt and Jess Ray established the restaurant in 2005. The pair both shared a passion for the restaurant business. Since they met in 2005, they spent the next few years working
in the local restaurant/service industry. Matt’s passion in home brewing took its first professional step in Boulder, Colo., where he worked for Left Hand Brewing Company as head of brewery operations. After three years, Matt was brought in by Lake Placid Pub & Brewery as a brewer and later become head brewer. With the purchase of the new facility, Matt said he can finally put his passions on tap. Ò WeÕ re not going to be held accountable to brand legislation. The sky is the limit,Ó Matt said. Ò WeÕ re going to have 12 brews on tap. Six will be made on site, and weÕ ll be constantly changing to serve the customer favorites.Ó Matt gravitates toward hoppier IPAs and pale ales. By making smaller batches and producing 12 to 14 kegs at a time, he said there will always be a flow of new product to try.
Customer appreciation
Matt said he wanted to thank his loyal customers and encourage them to share their next step with them in the new location. Ò WeÕ re very grateful for our customers. WeÕ d be nothing without them. We know some will be upset when we wonÕ t be here, but Jess and I feel comfortable moving,Ó Matt said. Ò We feel weÕ ve out grown this place and itÕ s time for a change.Ó

‘Of Little Faith’
North Countryman - 3
North Country native coming home for book launch By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Carol (Smith) Hoenig carried a story with her for more than 20 years before finally sitting down to write Ò Of Little Faith,Ó which will be launched in Plattsburgh Nov. 7. “Of Little Faith” was the first novel Hoenig wrote, but her second novel, “Without Grace,” was actually published first in 2005. Hoenig, a Churubusco native and a 1973 graduate of Northern Adirondack Central School, always thought about being a writer. She remembers being encouraged by her English teacher at NAC, Mrs. Fritz. Ò I always loved to write, I just never thought I could call myself a writer,Ó she said. From Churubusco she moved to Long Island, and didnÕ t do much writing while she focused on raising her children.
Northern Adirondack Central graduate (Class of 1973) Carol Hoenig will launch her newest novel “Of Little Faith” at Legends at the Comfort Inn Nov. 7, from 6 to 9 p.m. Photo provided
Ò I had this story idea that just wouldnÕ t let go,Ó she said. Ò That was Ô Of Little Faith.Õ All of a sudden its characters started coming to me.Ó Once her youngest was in kindergarten, her creative juices could finally make it to the page. Her novel takes place during the Vietnam era, with three adult siblings coming to terms with their upbringing at the hands of a religiously zealous mother. The story comes to a head when the youngest daughter decides she wants to have a baby without benefit of “the sanctity of marriage.” Though the storyline first came to her after leaving a religiously fundamental church, Hoenig says the book is not autobiographical. Ò Of Little FaithÓ will be launched Nov. 7, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Legends at the Comfort Inn in Plattsburgh, and the celebration is open to the public. Refreshments, including from sponsor Copa
Da Vino wine, will be served. There will be a follow-up launch celebration on Nov. 8 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Chateaugay Town Hall Theater. As well as being a novelist, Hoenig runs a publishing consulting business in New York City, and has published essays, articles, book reviews and short stories in numerous publications. She also blogs for the Huffington Post. She contributed to “Putting Your Passion Into Print,Ó by Arielle Eckstudt and David Henry Steery as well. And she is the author of Ò The AuthorÕ s Guide to Planning Book Events: Tips and Tools for Bookselling Success.Ó Hoenig was named Outstanding Advocate for the Arts for 2013 by the Long Island Arts Council. A complete biography on Hoenig, plus information on her consulting business and other writing projects can be found at www.carolhoenig.com.

Proposed land swaps make sense By Teresa Sayward
both Environmental Groups and State Agencies.
Retired NYS Assemblywoman
I
write this to encourage everyone to VOTE YES on two very important Constitutional Amendments. The proposed Amendments will appear on the back of the ballot on Election Day as Proposition 4 and Proposition 5.
Proposition 4:
State Agencies, Senator Little, Adirondack Council, Adirondack Mountain Club, Residents Committee to Protect the Adirondacks and the Chair of Hamilton CountyÕ s Board of Supervisors and I worked together to resolve this longstanding title dispute issue in Hamilton County. Over the years both NY State and the people engaged in lawsuits attempting to resolve titles with mixed results. This process is costly and time consuming. The land in question has been occupied for over 100 years. The Fire Company, school properties and private businesses have contested titles. Clearly, the land is neither forest preserve nor is it private property. The Legislature concluded that it is equitable and appropriate for the state to relinquish their claim and in exchange the people will make payment to the state and the state will purchase and incorporate hundreds of acres of pristine land into the forest preserve. The Legislature found that the title disputes constitute a unique situation found nowhere else in New York State. This dispute dates back to the 1800Õ s and is supported by
Proposition 5:
State Agencies, Adirondack Environmental Groups, NYCO, Senator Little and I worked collectively to resolve this important economic issue. NYCOÕ s mineral at Oak Hill will be exhausted soon. NYCO operates in the TownÕ s of Willsboro and Lewis, providing employees with good wages, medical and retirement benefits. Employees are volunteer fire fighters, EMTÕ s, soccer coaches, and their children attend our school. NYCO provides critical tax revenue to local governments and school districts, reducing the tax burden of taxpayers. NYCO does business with businesses from Plattsburgh to Albany. NYCO supports not-for-profit organizations and our local communities. Adirondack Communities depend on tourism. ThatÕ s good, but if you donÕ t own the business you make minimum wage. NYCO provides over 100 jobs countywide. The State will allow NYCO to take 200 acres for mining purposes. In return for the temporary use of this land, NYCO will give the State Forest Preserve 1,500 acres. Everyone will benefit from the addition of this new Forest Preserve land. The Amendment is in keeping with the original intent of the Adirondack Park Act which is to balance environmental protection with economic need. Both State Agencies and the two major Adirondack Environmental Groups support this Amendment.
QUICK VIEW STATEWIDE PROPOSITIONS •Proposition 1: Authorizing Casino Gaming •Proposition 2: Additional Civil Service Credit for Veterans with Disabilities Certified Post-Appointment •Proposition 3: Exclusion of Indebtedness Contracted for Sewage Facilities •Proposition 4: Settling Disputed Title in the Forest Preserve •Proposition 5: In Relation to a Land Exchange in the State Forest Preserve with NYCO Minerals, Inc. •Proposition 6: Increasing Age until which Certain State Judges Can Serve
My boyfriend abruptly broke up with me last month. It is pretty clear that he was cheating and has a new girlfriend already. All I can think of is ways to get him back, which I know is wrong, but my thoughts of revenge are consuming me. Do you have any alternatives?

Style & Substance: on sweet revenge
Denton Publications, Inc.
Northern Office
October 26, 2013
Ahhhh, sweet revenge? The thought can be quite delicious, but actually carrying something out is not who you want to be or become, hence your own intuition that negative actions would be wrong for you. Thoughts of getting revenge are quite common for everyone when they have been unjustly treated or just plain Ò wrongedÓ . The substitute behavior is what will actually get you on a path of restoration to wholeness. Having been to a great museum in Zagreb, Croatia, called The Museum of Broken Relationships, it got me (Sally) thinking about how to get beyond the hurt and resentment of a miserable breakup. The museum featured many authors who presented one item and a story to go with it about the end of a broken relationship. One furious author had ripped off a side mirror from her boyfriendÕ s car when she found it parked outside a girlÕ s house. In some cases the stories were very relatable while others were quite tragic. The point was, once feelings were expressed; be it hurt, disappointment or angerÉ healing and moving on to something better became real possibilities. We donÕ t recommend violent or damaging acts in word or deed; however, getting to the root of your anger and hurt through a friend (or life-coach!) using talk Ò therapyÓ , writing it out in a journal or poem, or expending that negative energy in positive ways will lead to a healthy recovery and most likely a new and improved you. Painful, intense feelings must be seen through from beginning to end, otherwise, those emotions get stored away only to resurface in some other way at some other time. Some DO’s and DON’Ts in this process: DO find friends who will listen…but DON’T overuse that friend by discussing it over and over; that is when you need to find an objective listener.
DO find ways to be active; when you do not know what to do, start with the physical. This will give your mind a rest and re-set your body to be able to heal the emotional pain you are experiencing. DO focus on being present in the important areas of your life; work, parenting, friends, and volunteering. Heartbreak is universal, lay down with your sadness; but then DO get back up and open yourself up to happiness Ð it will come back to you.

Protecting the local strawberry crop NNY Grower Testing Alfalfa Beetle-Busting Treatment PERU Ñ A low-cost, easy-to-implement, onfarm solution for controlling a highly destructive alfalfa pest is now expected to pay off for New York strawberry growers. The Northern New York Agricultural Development Program (NNYADP) has granted funds to Cornell University entomologist Elson Shields to evaluate the use of alfalfa snout beetle controlling nematodes to manage two strawberry crop pests. Strawberry root weevils and black vine weevils attack a wide array of plants from woody ornamentals in the urban landscape to commercial cane berry crops, including raspberries, blackberries and strawberries. Ò Strawberry root weevil and black vine weevil are very closely related to alfalfa snout beetle, and, like alfalfa snout beetle, these weevils are difficult to control with conventional pesticides, but they are very susceptible to attack by the biocontrol nematodes,Ó Shields said in a press release. Shields has developed a protocol for using native New York nematodes to control the Alfalfa Snout Beetle, which had become the single most limiting factor for alfalfa growers in nine New York counties. The two weevils are caus-
ing similar economic havoc for strawberry growers. In the fall of 2013, with assistance from
Business ownership workshop
PLATTSBURGHÑ The North Country Small Business Development Center is hosting a workshop designed to help startup businesses choose the right legal form for their business. When starting a business, one of the first things the business owner needs to do is determine what type of legal entity their business will take. In the workshop, Doug Hoffman, managing partner with Dragon Benware CPAs will discuss the differences between S-Corps, C-Corps, LLCs and other types of legal entities. The workshop is taking place at the Lake Placid Beach House, 49 Parkside Drive, Lake Placid on Tuesday, Nov. 5 from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Refreshments will be served courtesy of NBT bank. The North Country Small Business Development Center can be reached at sbdc@plattsburgh.edu, or by calling 564-2042. They are located in the One Work Source building at 194 U.S. Oval in Plattsburgh.
ShieldsÕ research and extension team, Rulfs Orchards applied biocontrol nematodes to most of a 12-acre strawberry field at their Peru farm. The untreated areas will serve as a control for evaluating the true effectiveness of the nematode treatment. Shields estimates weevil damage at the farm was causing $20,000 to $30,000 worth of loss due to the destruction of fruit and plants, and the cost of reestablishing the strawberry plantings. Ò Strawberry root weevil and black vine weevil larvae feed on the strawberry plant roots, killing the plants, and they have been causing large scale crop losses. This Northern New York Agricultural Development Program project is addressing a big problem for our farm business,Ó Robert Rulfs said. The early September application allowed six to eight weeks for the nematodes to attack the weevil larvae that are active in the strawberry
root zone until the soil temperature cools as winter approaches. In October, the researchers will collect soil samples to be analyzed at the Shields Lab at the Cornell University campus in Ithaca to confirm the presence of the nematodes. The soil sampling will be repeated in May 2014 to confirm the successful overwintering of the nematodes that will become active to continue attacking the remaining weevil larvae as the soil warms, and to document the nematodesÕ impact on the weevil populations. The goal of the treatment protocol is to prevent any further strawberry plant root damage by the weevil larvae that persist through the Northern New York winter. The nematodes applied to the RulfsÕ strawberry field are two native New York strains of nematode, each strain occuping the soil at different depths. Since the nematodes used are native to the region, they persist after application for many years. Northern New York farmers are reporting the long-term recovery of the alfalfa crops so valuable to the dairy industry and as a cash crop. The NNYADP-funded project work in the Northern New York strawberry crops has implications for the berry industry elsewhere. Ò Strawberry root weevil and black vine weevil are found nationwide because they impact the potted plant nursery industry and shipments across the U.S.,Ó Shields said. Shields expects the 2014 data from the strawberry trial will be a significant success. If the data bears him out, his research team is ready to extend the treatment protocol to growers across New York and in the Northeast. Updates will be posted on the NNYADP website at www. nnyagdev.org. The Alfalfa Snout Beetle Control Manual developed by the ShieldsÕ team for use by alfalfa growers is already posted on the NNYADP home page. The farmer-driven Northern New York Agricultural Development Program funds research, technical assistance and outreach for agricultural producers in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.

Halloween Safety Tips
PLATTSBURGH Ñ Here are some Halloween safety tips. • When choosing a costume, stay away from billowing or long trailing fabric. If you are making your own costume, choose material that wonÕ t easily ignite if it comes into contact with heat or flame. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so they can see out. • Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume. • Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources, in-

Recent performances include recital programs with the Frontier Saxophone Quartet and with soprano Jo Ellen Miano. Past highlights include a five-year celebration of her acclaimed local concert series, concerts in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as a series of lecture recitals on the 32 Beethoven Sonatas.
cluding light bulbs and heaters. • It is safest to use a flashlight or battery-operated candles in a jack-olantern. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o-lanterns, use long fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far enough out of way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways and yards. • Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes. • Tell children to stay away from open flames. Be sure they know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches
fire. (Have them practice stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with hands, and rolling over and over to put the flames out.) • Use flashlights as alternatives to candles or torch lights when decoratingwalkways and yards. They are much safer for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting. • If your children are going to Halloween parties at othersÕ homes, have them look for ways out of the home and plan how they would get out in an emergency. The member departments of the CCFA stand ready to answer questions and provide assistance, please call or stop by your local fire station.

Adirondack Council chief discusses State of the Park
By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Adirondack Council Executive Director Willie Janeway met with members of the Denton Publications Editorial Board Oct. 17 to talk about current issues a day after the environmental group released its annual State of the Park report. Members of the Denton staff were Managing Editor John Gereau, Assistant Managing Editor Andy Flynn, Times of Ti Editor Fred Herbst and Valley News Editor Keith Lobdell. They asked Janeway questions about the plan, and the following are his answers. Editorial Board: You said you support Prop 4 and Prop 5 on the ballot because they follow the Adirondack CouncilÕ s criteria for land swaps. What is that criteria? Willie Janeway: There are really six points to our criteria for a land swap. The lands that came out cannot be critical or unique ecologically. The lands coming in should be ecologically superior to the land that is going out. It should not establish a precedent. There should be a specific use. It should be for an important community benefit, and you do not have a community if you do not have jobs. Also, it has to be a win-win for the Forest Preserve and for the community. He added, Ò NYCO has been challenging and we have not always seen eye-to-eye, but we laid out our principles and said if you meet these, then we will support it. It is going to be a big lift because people see it as a land sale for $1 million. I wish it were called the Jay Mountain Wilderness Expansion Proposition instead because that is a more representative title.Ó EB: One of your consistent Ò thumbs downÓ themes concerned the changing of the DEC permit allowing Essex County to begin work on Little Whiteface before a study on the BicknellÕ s thrush mating patterns was completed. Why was that a concern? WJ: The concern was more about the process, and the issue was the last-minute modification of the permit. Everyone had come together, and we thought there was a deal. What happened then undermines the ability of everyone to come together. EB: What are ways to secure infrastructure within the Park without tampering with the natural habitat? WJ: We have gone into Jay and looked at the buyouts and talked about specific things that we as a Council will say, these are things that you will not have to worry about us commenting on. When community groups and environmentalists go to Albany and they go together, it turns heads.

EB: You give a Ò thumbs upÓ to a merger between two school districts. Is that something you support throughout the park? WJ: We believe communities should talk with each other and look for opportunities to share services. We also realize there is a narrow set of communities, and the distances are long in the park and the schools are a focal part of the communities. We want to facilitate and offer support for these kinds of conversations. EB: Is there a responsible way to create a series of connected snowmobile trails to maintain and promote the industriesÕ importance to the economy? WJ: I hope so. I can stay optimistic about this. We have been very public that even though we sued the state over the Unit Management Plan, we do support the idea of connected trails. You manage wilderness, but you do not just lock it up and set it aside. I think that we can find places for communities where we can connect. EB: The whole locals versus downstate thing, what do you tell local residents when they ask, Ò Whose park is this, anyway?Ó WJ: ItÕ s everybodyÕ s. It belongs to all of the people of the state, and the residents of the park
have a special position. As residents, they get the benefits of living in a place with clean water and clean air, but there are responsibilities and obligations that come with that as well. EB: How do you balance the needs of public use and conservation in the Essex Chain Lakes? WJ: For me, the stronger economic future for the park and the communities is in protecting those natural resources that people want to come and see. When you open it to the public, the challenge is that the state has not been very good at saying OK, thereÕ s only this many people allowed to go in there. We wanted to try and come down with a very balanced approach. EB: What do you see as the vision for the Park, short term and long term? WJ: My hope would be if we can focus on what the Park should look like in 2050, and then work backwards from that, it is going to be a lot easier to resolve the next round of questions. What is the real vision here and how do we make some bigger changes? The politics always drives you to smaller, incremental changes, but if you just do that, the Adirondack Park continues to struggle economically and environmentally.
EB: What is the biggest challenge facing the Adirondack Park? WJ: Missing the opportunity that we now have and if politics or ideology will get in the way of caring about the park. If we canÕ t, we will have missed a chance to finish the park in a way that works for everyone. I think that Gov. Andrew Cuomo is really concerned about moving the park forward. He likes it up here and he does not ignore the Adirondacks. With this governor, there is an opportunity that has not existed for years. EB: What are the main themes to the report? WJ: The theme of this report is people are now talking and working together. There are a lot of successes, but they are moderate. If we can have these discussions and disagreements yet still talk and work together, it shows how much the Adirondack community has changed. At one of the first meetings I attended, a person started talking about being upset over the APA boathouse restrictions and I thought, Ò Here we go with a get rid of the APA rant.Ó But at the end of his statement, he asked if we could help him work with them to change these. That was refreshing.

Brandon Sorrell Memorial Scholarship benefit set for Nov. 9 By Katherine Clark
it,Ó Mastic said. All funds raised will go to the Brandon Sorrell Memorial Scholarship Foundation.
katherine@denpubs.com PERU Ñ As the 23-month anniversary of a tragic accident that claimed the lives of four high school students comes and passes, their families and parents continue to fight to decrease the odds of similar tragedies. In celebration of the life of Brandon Sorrell, a 17-year-old high school student who died in the car accident with three other students, the Peru VFW will host a spaghetti dinner fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 9 from 2 to 9 p.m. The fundraiser will have not just spaghetti but have snacks and beverages during the festivities. There will be silent auctions and other prizes. Everyone who brings a non-perishable food item to be donated to the local food pantry automatically gets entered into a mystery prize drawing. Ò I canÕ t tell you what the prizes are, but we have everything from $50 gift certificates, dinner for two and so much more,” said Christol Mastic, mother of Sorrell. Other prizes will include a spa basket, Adirondack chair, a tree of scratch-off tickets, and a gift certificate wreath. “The gift certificate wreath is fantastic. The girl who won it last year said all of her Christmas shopping was done when she got
Miner Institute to Host Regional Dairy Challenge Event is in its Eleventh year CHAZY Ñ More than 120 students from 14 colleges and universities across the Northeast and Canada are expected to attend the 2013 Northeast Regional Dairy Challenge this year, hosted by William H. Miner Agricultural Institute. The three-day event is a hands-on educational opportunity to prepare students for careers in the dairy industry. This yearÕ s Northeast Dairy Challenge will be held Oct. 31 - Nov. 2. The program is designed to create an educational environment and facilitate a real-world dairy team situation. To accomplish this, students are placed on mixed-university teams. The Dairy Challenge strives to incorporate a higherlearning atmosphere with practical application to help prepare students for careers in the dairy industry. Students will arrive on Thursday evening, Oct. 31 and participate in event orientation and team-building activities. On Friday, students travel to one of three host farms to conduct an evaluation of their operation. Teams of students then develop a comprehensive program for their host farm including recommendations for nutrition, reproduction, milking procedures, animal health, housing and financial management. Saturday is presentation day and team members present recommendations to a panel of judges. Participant knowledge is tested as they field questions from judges. Presentations are evaluated based on student analysis and recommendations. The evening concludes with a reception and awards banquet. North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge (NAIDC) was established in 2002 as a management contest to incorporate all phases of a specific dairy business. Its mission is to facilitate education, communication and an exchange of ideas among students, agribusiness, dairy producers and universities that enhances the development of the dairy industry and its leaders. NAIDC is supported completely by donations from agribusinesses and dairy producers, and programs are coordinated by a volunteer board of directors.

Children lost
Ò Your life is your children. It becomes all about getting them to the next stage of their lives, and when they are gone, you lose that purpose,Ó Mastic said. Ò Now I focus on making sure that another family doesnÕ t go through this. ItÕ s especially hard in the fall; it was his favorite time of year.Ó The Brandon Sorrell Memorial Scholarship Foundation was set up in memory of the Sorrell. He and three other students died on Nov. 15, 2012 Ñ (Rennert) Sorrell, 17, Peru; Samantha Donah, 17, Plattsburgh; Dat T. Ong, 17, Vietnam; and Chu Xiong, 18, China. They were killed as a result of an accident on Peasleeville Road shortly after sunset. Sorrell and Donah were traveling down the road in his car when the car collided with Ong and Xiong, who were walking along the road. All were killed on impact. A website, The Brandon Sorrell Memorial Scholarship, hosts information about the accident, the scholarship set up in SorrellÕ s name, and safety tips for pedestrians and drivers. Ò If you look on the website, there is a video called Ô No White at NightÕ where it shows runners at night on the road. And as the video continues, you see more and more runners that you couldnÕ t see from far away,Ó Mastic said. At the end of the video it reads, Ò Drivers moving at just 30 MPH may travel a distance over 500 feet before they are able to properly maneuver their cars in response to obstacles according to the National Safety Council and Walk Alert and National Pedestrian Safety Program.Ó Ò We have focused a lot of our attention to hosting educational meetings with track teams because they are out of the roads and need to be the most vigilant about highway safety, especially since the days are getting shorter people need to remember to wear reflective clothing,” Mastic said. This scholarship is designed to help those who show a need and a desire to help others whenever possible.
The scholarship is open to students of SUNY Canton, the college Sorrell planned to attend to learn about auto mechanics. Mastic said because her son understood that not everyone was ready for college when they graduated, the scholarship is also available to anyone 18 to 35 from Clinton and Essex counties. Ò Last year we didnÕ t have that many applicants. Some of BrandonÕ s friends said they just didnÕ t feel right about it, but weÕ re hoping this year more people will apply,Ó Mastic said. Ò If you look on the website there is so much information and educational videos.Ó Safety tips on the website include: Obey all traffic signs and signals, Stop, and look left, right and left again before entering a roadway, Never run into the street; always cross at the crosswalk or corner. When crossing at an intersection, pedestrians should check for vehicles turning the corner. Always walk on the sidewalk. If there are no sidewalks, pedestrians should walk facing traffic. Make eye contact with drivers of stopped vehicles to be sure they are aware that you are crossing the street. The majority of pedestrian deaths occur in dark or twilight conditions and at locations other than intersections, where vehicle speeds may be higher and where drivers do not expect to have to stop.
Daylight savings reminder
PLATTSBURGH Ñ The members of the Clinton County Firefighters Association (CCFA) would like to remind everyone that the upcoming end to Daylight Savings Times, Nov. 3, is a great time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms. When we Ò Fall BackÓ an hour; take a few minutes to put fresh batteries in all of your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Also, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that you change out your entire smoke detector every 10 years.

Mooers shelter closer to breaking ground By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com MOOERS Ñ Mooers, Chazy and Altona stray dogs are closer to having a new place to call their temporary home till they can find forever homes thanks to the efforts of the community and the local Dog Control Officer Kaleigh LaBombard. LaBombard and supporters of the local animal control agency were able to raise $800 at a fundraiser held Oct. 6 at the Time After Time Reception Hall in Mooers. The money will go towards the purchase or construction of a new facility to house stray dogs LaBombard picks up. She has taken in over 100 dogs in the past two years. Ò We raised $5,000 last year through bake sales and Chinese auctions, this last fundraiser exceeded our final goal so now we can bring in a new temporary shelter,Ó LaBombard said. LaBombard currently brings dogs temporarily to her home where dogs are housed in one of the six horse stalls. Her home is not a shelter and not meant to house animals for long periods of time. “We’ve definitely had more than six dogs and

what will happen is some will be put in kennels inside the barn,Ó LaBombard said. Ò Our code inspection officer told me on her last visit that we had the highest number of dogs come through here than any other place she visits.Ó Dogs come in as strays and LaBombard gives them shelter hoping for their owners to come forward and find their pets or they can be put up for adoption. “After five days the dogs are available for adoption, the longest a dog has stayed was six months,Ó LaBombard said. Ò Sometimes we have to transport to other non-kill shelters like the North Country SPCA in Westport, the Elmore SPCA in Peru, or the Franklin County Humane Society.Ó Shortly after the 21-year-old LaBombard first took on the job as dog control officer, she became responsible for dozens of Walker Hounds found to be living in an animal hoarding. She had come across an emaciated Walker hound that was wandering the streets. She posted a photo of the hound on the shelterÕ s Facebook page, along with details describing his journey around town. LaBombard is hoping with the addition of a new portable barn she can have a brighter place to bring the animals. Information given by community members led to the seizure of 26 dogs from a local dog owner. Since then, LaBombard said she sees a variety of different dogs found wandering in her area. Ò We see a lot of pit bulls and beagles that are found and then pretty much every size and breed dog you can imagine, the towns have allocated about $260 per month to feed and take care of the dogs, it’s definitely a full time job but at the end of the day when someone finds their dog or adopts a dog it makes it all worth it,Ó LaBombard said. The new facility will be put on LaBombardÕ s property but will be transportable if she ever leaves her position as dog control officer. Ò Just hoping to provide a brighter environment to bring these dogs too, at least for a little while before they can find their homes,” LaBombard said. LaBombard said they are either going to build a moveable building or purchase a premade moveable Amish-made building. For more information about how to contribute contact LaBombard via the Mooers & Chazy
CHAZY — The Heaviest Deer Contest is back. The Chazy Rod and Gun Club will be sponsoring the event through Dec 13. Weigh-ins will be held from noon to 8 pm at the Weathercock Restaurant & Bar, 9688 Route 9. Deer must be legally tagged and field dressed prior to weigh-in. Winner of the heaviest deer contest will receive a cash prize of $100. Also, all non-winning entries will be entered for an additional drawing of four $50 constellation prizes (one prize per entry) at 8 pm. Participants need not be present to win. For more information, contact the Weathercock at 846-7990 with any questions.
Dog Control Officer Facebook page. Ò Each of these dogs has feelings. They were once someones cute and adorable puppy who at some point in their life got abandoned or forgotten about. They need someone to step up, give them a home and show them what love is.
Please donÕ t shop adopt,Ó LaBombard wrote on the Facebook page. Ò If you have a dog and you canÕ t keep it donÕ t just dump it. Call a shelter, call me! I’ll help you find a home for it or put you in contact with someone who can.Ó

It takes the effort of a countless number of people, all volunteers, to put together the 18hour whirlwind that makes up an Honor Flight. Many of the volunteers are former service members, while others have never served. But one group George Douglas thinks should be singled out for their efforts are the Vietnam veterans. From the motorcycle motorcade that escorted them to the Clinton County Airport, to a group ushering them into the World War II Memorial, Vietnam veterans were present at every step of the trip. Ò You can pick out a Vietnam veteran,Ó
George said. Ò They stand out. TheyÕ re kind of rough and tough. But they do so much that theyÕ re not getting credit for. They were there for us 100 percentÓ GeorgeÕ s wife could not agree more. One of the most touching moments for her from the send-off ceremony was the group of Vietnam veterans who unfurled and held a large American flag for the national anthem. Ò We wonÕ t live to see it, but hopefully youÕ ll see where the Vietnam veterans, and all veterans, I hope and pray that they will get the same recognition that the World War II veteran got the day of that Honor Flight, because God knows they deserve it. Bless them all,Ó Rita said.
George and Rita Douglas show the American flag that was presented to George during a recent Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C. The flag was a gift from their grandson, Senior Master Sergeant Thadius Sankey. The flag flew over the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay for 9 minutes and 11 seconds on Sept. 11, 2013.

given at Ò mail callÓ on the plane ride back. School children from all around the North Country, and as far south as Albany, sent letters to the veterans, thanking them for their service. Handmade cards, some with cutout jeeps, boots or military airplanes adorning them covered the DouglasÕ s kitchen table. GeorgeÕ s wife, Rita, says they will answer all 130 of the letters. Ò Of everything, as far as being impressive, was the Changing of the Guard (at Arlington National CemeteryÕ s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier),Ó Douglas said. Ò And the white glove inspection was a masterpiece. Only someone in the service could appreciate a white glove inspection.Ó Honor Flights are all about the veteran, but they touch many more people than those on the plane. GeorgeÕ s wife was as touched by the outpouring of support and love for the veterans as George was by the trip.

Ò You cannot believe, when we got there ... the people that were there not only seeing their loved ones off, but people there to see the veterans. People who had no one going. It was just amazing support,Ó Rita said. That support was present before dawn when the Honor Flight veterans arrived at the old base oval, and was there well after dark when they returned. As the veterans returned to the airport after 11 p.m., both George and Rita remembered the sound of the bagpipes, welcoming the veterans back. Ò Plattsburgh showed their true colors that day,Ó said George. George and Rita plan to attend all future honor flights, to honor the veterans, and give back at least some of what they took away from GeorgeÕ s trip. George joined the Army in 1945, near the end of the war. Ò They sent me to La-Ti-Da. ThatÕ s what we called it,Ó George said, referring to the Leadership Training Detachment. Ò I still donÕ t know why they sent me.

Empty Bowl dinner and fundraiser
PLATTSBURGH Ñ SUNY Plattsburgh ceramics students, area fifth-graders and community members are joining forces once again, crafting soup bowls for this yearÕ s Empty Bowls dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, at Algonquin Dining Hall on Rugar Street. The annual fundraiser supports the Plattsburgh Interfaith Food Shelf. Adults pay $10 and students $8 to receive an empty handmade ceramic bowl and soup to fill it. Dinner also includes bread, a beverage and dessert, donated by Chartwells, the campus food service providers. The empty bowl symbolizes those bowls void of food around the world. The idea for the Empty Bowls dinner at SUNY Plattsburgh originated more than a dozen years ago from Beryl Matthews, an associate professor of art who has since retired. Students from Momot and Oak Street elementary schools, and artists from the community round out the roster of ceramicists.

Local knitters help cover body parts other than heads and hands; they also help boost morale among breast cancer patients with the Knitted Knocker project. From free plans available online, people can knit or crochet a breast prosthesis for a woman to use after a mastectomy. Coonrod explains that not all women can afford a Ò medicalÓ prosthesis, and some just need time to get used to the idea before devoting that much money to one. Knitted Knockers are perfect for both. Others just prefer the breathable knitted prosthetic, since silicone prosthetics can be uncomfortable, heavy, hot and could possibly cause skin irritation, she says. The knockers can be made to any cup size and are filled with a soft, breathable filling. Coonrod also adds small pebbles in the prosthetic to give it enough weight to stay in place. She often writes inspirational messages on the stones before putting them in. Washable cotton and soft wool are perfect for a Knitted Knocker, but acrylic should be avoided, she says. Coonrod gives knitting classes at her shop and has helped knitters new to Knitting Knockers through their first attempts. It takes about two to three hours to knit or crochet a Knocker. She collects the knitted prosthetics, and delivers them to the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center at CVPH. They are given out free of charge to women who have undergone mastectomies. More information on the Knitted Knockers project can be found at www.knittedknockers.info.

Establish a home fire safety plan
P
eople rely on fire and smoke detectors to help keep them safe in their homes. Though fire and smoke alarms are effective, a firm fire safety plan that will keep everyone calm should a fire occur could make the difference between life and death. The U.S. Fire Administration says that more than 3,500 Americans die each year in fires, while roughly 18,300 more people are injured each year. Cooking accounts for the greatest percentage of residential fires, followed by arson. FEMA says that smoke, rather than the fire’s flames, is responsible for 75 percent of all deaths by fire. In addition to physical injury and material damage, fires can cause a host of problems. Psychological distress, monetary damages and loss of pets may come with fires. Loss of irreplaceable personal items is also a concern. Although fires can be devastating, they’re also highly preventable, and smoke alarms and a home fire safety plan are two precautionary measures everyone should take. Creating an evacuation plan doesnÕ t have to be complicated. Such a plan can be established in a few minutes and then reinforced through practice every so often to keep everyone fresh on what to do. •Begin by assessing the layout of the home. Figure out the two best exits from the home. •If your home doesn’t have two doors, invest in a fire ladder so that one of the windows can be a point of exit. •Know how to gain access to the exits, including the best path to take to avoid injury. ItÕ s a good idea to consider a few different scenarios. A kitchen adjacent to the upstairs staircase may become engulfed in flames and make exit by way of staircase impossible. Just because you have doors to the outside doesnÕ t mean theyÕ ll present the best type of exit. •Sketch out the layout of the home and the escape plan. Smoke can make it difficult to know up from down. Be sure everyone can reach the exits even if vision is obstructed. Try it with your eyes closed. •Check fire alarms routinely, and change batteries at least every year. •Make sure windows can be easily opened if they are an exit point. •Make note of who will be helping children or the elderly out of the home. •Establish a place where the family will meet outdoors. This area should be far enough away from the home so that everyone will be safe from smoke, flames and falling debris. Fires may ignite fuel explosions, so be sure the meeting spot is a good deal away. •Children should be instructed to run to the meeting spot immediately without waiting behind for anyone to catch up. No one should reenter the home after arriving at the meeting spot. •Do a few practice runs so that everyone will be accustomed to getting out quickly. •While in most cases it is better to escape and let the fire department extinguish a fire, in the event of a small fire, occupants may be able to stanch it with a personal fire extinguisher. Follow the acronym PASS to properly put out the fire. - PULL the pin in the extinguisher. - AIM the nozzle or hose at the base of the flames. - SQUEEZE the trigger. - SWEEP the foam across the fire base; do not just aim in one place.

Space heater safety
Space heaters can be an effective method of supplemental heat when the weather outside gets cold, but the Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that space heaters can cause fires and lead to burns. When operating a space heater, it is important to follow some safety guidelines. •Keep the heater at least 3 feet away from any drapery, bedding and flammable material. •Turn off the heater when you leave the room. •Keep the heater on a level surface that is hard and nonflammable. •Don’t leave the space heater on all night while you are sleeping. •Never use a portable propane space heater designed for camping outdoors inside a home. •Make sure smoke alarms in a home have been tested and batteries have been replaced to protect yourself in the event of a space heater-related fire.
andles are one of the easiest and most effective ways to add aroma and ambiance to a home. While many people would like to use scented candles in their homes, they may be weary of the fire risk. However, candle-related fires appear to be on the decline. Scented candles are just one component of the larger science of aromatherapy, which is an alternative treatment that uses scents to alleviate physical and psychological disorders. Nurses and doctors at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston actually offer classes in aromatherapy to deal with cancer and other ailments. Certain scents can make a person feel more alert, while others may reduce stress and relax a person. It is estimated that candles are used in seven out of 10 American households and that people spend around $2 billion annually on candles, according to the National Candle Association. Candles can be used for aromatherapy or to make a room feel more cozy. People who are anticipating a weather event that may knock out electrical power also rely on candles as an alternative light source. Although using candles can lead to fires, the NCA reports that candle-related fires have dropped to their lowest level in roughly 10 years. Data shows candle fires dropped by nearly 50 percent between 2001 and 2010. ThatÕ s thanks in part to the industryÕ s safety standards and consumer education efforts.
According to a Home Candles Fires report issued by the National Fire Protection Association, there were approximately 9,600 accidental candle fires in 2010, the latest year for which figures are available, compared to a peak of 18,900 in 2001. The statistics are based on data reported by the federal governmentÕ s National Fire Incidence Reporting System and NFPA’s survey of fire departments. While candle fires tend to peak during the holiday season, when candles are an integral part of holiday decorating, candles are widely burned throughout the year, including during outdoor gatherings in the summertime. To reduce the risk of fire when using candles, consider these guidelines from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. •Trim the wick to 1/4 inch each time before burning. Long wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping or flaring.
•Use a candleholder specifically designed for candle use. It should be sturdy and heat-resistant. •Avoid drafts, vents or air currents that can cause rapid or uneven burning and excessive dripping. •Never leave a burning candle unattended. •Do not burn candles by or on anything that might catch fire. •Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. •Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on burn time and proper use. •Don’t touch or move a burning candle or when wax is liquefied. •Discontinue burning a candle when 2 inches of wax remains. •Always keep a candle within sight. •Extinguish all candles before bed or if you feel sleepy. The largest number of candle fires occur in the bedroom.
SAFETY - Holiday Lights - 1, 2 and 3 1.) Maintain Holiday Lights: Inspect the lights each year for frayed wires, bare spots, gaps in the insulation, broken or cracked sockets, and excessive kinking or wear before putting them up. Use only lighting listed by an approved testing laboratory. 2.) Do Not Overload Electrical Outlets: Do not link more than three light strands, unless the directions indicate it is safe. Connect strings of lights to an extension cord before plugging the cord into the outlet. Make sure to periodically check the wires Ñ they should not be warm to the touch. 3.) Do not leave holiday lights on unattended.

Scattered shots Rocky Mountain high
GRIZ! I
Photo by Rich Redman
pulled in the driveway in Moriah this past Saturday evening after nearly three weeks on the road. Four of us did a stint in Colorado, where we were involved with an elk hunt and a trout-fishing journey. We embraced the beauty in the high plains of the Rocky Mountain range country. Elk and mule deer were spotted browsing and grazing on the brush and grasses, while brook and rainbow trout swam in the Forks of the South Platte River. Sharp peaked 14,000By Rich Redman foot mountains and air as thin as the sheen of ice on the beaver ponds greeted us on the 10-degree mornings. ItÕ s good to be back where the air is as thick as porridge and breathing is easy! I love the west, but the green Adirondacks welcomed me home. One of my traveling compadres has traveled the world hunting for elk, bear, mountain lion and Cape buffalo. He told me his story, but I canÕ t share it all. As the reader, you need to drift off in the story the way I did. You need to read it firsthand to appreciate the adventure, the beauty of the story and the beast involved. Fran — whose radio handle is “fleabag” — had an adventure in Montana that most hunters would not survive. He was attacked by a grizzly bear. Fran GeorgeÕ s book is called, Ò Intruding on a Killer.Ó The story takes you to Montana, bow hunting for elk in the high country, back packing in gear, and a tale about wranglers and cowboys helping fellow hunters get a wounded man out to safety. You will enjoy this tale of survival. With deer and bear season under way, I thought a few good books about bears would be appropriate. The second book is by another fellow hunter and friend, John Ò JackÓ Harris. The book, titled Ò Beyond my Wildest DreamsÓ is about JackÕ s life working with black bears while employed with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, as a guide in Alaska and his hunting exploits dealing with whitetails, brown bears, and African safaris, hunting kudu, impalas, and Cape buffalo. Wild safaris, guerilla warfare in Rhodesia and West German G-3 automatic weapons are all entangled in JackÕ s hunting stories. Jack tells about fishing in Ecuador, Canada, scuba diving, sharks and even fishing on our own lake Ontario. Both of these books are written by guys who have lived the dream and still do to this moment. They write about hunting and the taking of game, but more importantly they talk about family, the beauty of nature and life and death. Both men volunteer with community programs; the fire department and the Red Cross. Givers, not takers! Many city people think hunters are takers and only think about killing. Hunting is as natural to mankind as watching a sun set or the full moon coming up over a grassy meadow where cattle graze. I got to live the natural life these past few weeks glassing the mountains while standing on South Peak; a 12,500-foot barren peak above the tree line. I was Rocky Mountain high. Hunting season is upon us now, so go forth and enjoy the season, stay safe and when the winter winds blow hard and the woodstove is humming out a smoky song, sit back and enjoy these two books by friends of mine. You will enjoy their adventures.

Willow Hackett, a true wild child, shows off a nice fall, brookie.
I
recently discovered some sage advice scribbled on the log wall of a local lean-to. Written in a neat, charcoal script, it read, Ò Welcome to the Adirondacks: May neither drought nor rain nor blizzard disturb the joy juice in your gizzard! And may you camp where the winds wonÕ t hit ya, and the bears wonÕ t gitcha.Ó The muzzleloader season for whitetails will be coming to an end this week, and the regular big game funting season will begin this Saturday, Oct. 26. Following the warm weather weÕ ve experienced to date, most hunters would welcome a bit of tracking snow about now. ThereÕ s been no need for longjohns or woolies as itÕ s still mighty brown in the woods, where the deer blend right in. By the look of things, there may be some interesting times ahead for the next generation of hunting enthusiasts. Recently, I was reviewing comments posted on a popular hunting website, and I was disappointed to see the NYSDEC was again getting bashed for the decision to host another youth deer weekend across the state. The annual youth hunting weekend was scheduled for the long Columbus Day Holiday last week. By all reports, it was a major success. According to the Youth Hunt regulations, 14- to 15-year-old junior hunters who are accompanied by a licensed, adult mentor are permitted to harvest one deer with a firearm, with or without antlers. ItÕ s a real shame that some sportsmen again choose to oppose the opportunity for a Youth Hunt. Their complaints punctuate the greed of certain hunters who simply fail to understand the importance of mentoring the next generation. Their efforts in opposition were both selfish and greedy, and their commentary provided a sad note to an otherwise positive effort that is intended to help grow the sport and introduce youth to the outdoors. In this day and age, hunters simply canÕ t afford to be so parochial. There is too much territory available to the public for anyone to be so territorial. Whitetail deer are abundant all across the state, especially in the Southern Tier. ThereÕ s no need for the greed.
Life skills
Last year, when the DEC first introduced the special Youth Deer Hunt weekend, it was considered a great marketing effort. In a business sense, DEC was building a new base of customers, and in the process, the department was protecting our natural resources in the best possible way. Although statistics indicate it may be a bit late to begin initiating 14- or 15-year-olds to a new sport, it is better late then never. But it isnÕ t just a sport; itÕ s a life skill. Numerous studies have revealed the ideal time to introduce youth to such lifelong recreational pursuits as skiing, fishing or hunting is somewhere between 4th and 5th grade, or ages 10 to 12. Life skills educators recognize the propensity for pursuing life skills development begins to drop off significantly during their teenage years, when kids usually have other pursuits in mind. Been there, done that. In many western states, including Colorado and
Montana, all of the local ski resorts provide free skiing for every 4th grader in the state. The purpose is to get the kids hooked on skiing early. Research indicates that if they donÕ t learn to ski by the 4th grade, chances are theyÕ ll never become lifelong skiers. Research indicates the same strategy is even more vital when it comes to growing anglers, hunters, paddlers, bikers, hikers, etc., where mentorship is often the key. Unlike team sports, which require officials, a playing field and a large number of participants, life skills are activities that can be pursued individually or with friends, in the local area, at little cost, for life. No time clocks, no refs, no uniforms and no whistles; just good clean fun.
Mentors needed
The lack of a formal introduction, and/or an accomplished mentor to provide one, is likely one of the main reasons for the declining interest in many outdoor pursuits. It is usually much easier, and often more comfortable for kids to just play inside with video games or surf the web. This is the indoor generation, tethered by an electric cord to run their electronic devices. It takes quite a bit more effort to get them to go outside to hunt, ski, fish, paddle, hike or bike. It also helps if they have a mentor to help with these activities, initially. Fortunately, the DEC has come to realize the need to increase the pool of the next generation of outdoor travelers, or they may soon be out of business. Any hunter who would oppose such efforts has likely spent too much time swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool.

Valuable resources
It is a simple thread to follow. If our youth do not know how to effectively utilize their local natural resources, there will be no connection. Without a positive connection, there will be no perceived value, and thus no need for protection. A resource, whether itÕ s natural or man-made, is only of value to those who use it, or admire it, or see a need to preserve it. Certainly there is an ecological, and an aesthetic value to the land, but there is also a utilitarian value. If the trout were not valued, there would be no need to stock them. The local lakes and ponds could easily revert to fisheries with bass, sunnies, perch or similar species. If trails were not cut, where would people go to hike or ski? And what would become of the tourist sportsmen and women who regularly travel north to fish, swim or ski. And what of the hotels that lodge them, or the restaurants where they chose to dine? And what would the Adirondacks look like without whitetail deer, a speckled trout or the lone paddler enjoying an even lonelier pond? A lot like suburbia I reckon, except with more pines, less noise, plenty of blackflies, and far fewer neighbors! Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.
