by supervisors who contend that the present way of appropriating it Ñ on the basis of a townÕ s total real estate value Ñ isnÕ t fair, particularly to the smaller, rural communities without expensive lakefront property.

Lake Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino has spearheaded the idea of establishing fairer sales tax revenue distributions.

He has contended that the rural towns

have the same financial needs to maintain infrastructure, but the towns like Lake George, Bolton, Horicon Hague and Queensbury Ñ with plenty of expensive lakefront properties Ñ get far more than their fair share. To date, town supervisors of the communities with ample lakefront property have balked at the idea of redistribution.

ATHOL Ñ The embattled Thurman Emergency Medical Services is now no longer responding to emergency calls, according to county officials — and it may be closing its doors for good, sources said this week.

Warren County Emergency Services Director Brian

LaFlure said Wednesday Nov. 27 that county emergency officials received a letter from Thurman squad President Jean Coulard declaring that the squad was off-line, not to be dispatched, and its ambulance was out of service. He added that the Thurman ambulances hadnÕ t been dispatched in at least three weeks.

Efforts to reach Warren County EMS Coordinator Micki Guy were unsuccessful Ñ LaFlure said she was out-of-town.

Phone calls to Coulard werenÕ t answered Ñ but she responded via email last week that ambulance service was only suspended for 30 days, denying that it was Ò off-line.Ó However, an authoritative source familiar with county dispatch and emergency operations said Coulard sent an email to county officials citing the CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Skiers flock to Gore Mountain because of snow, cold weather

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG Ñ Prevailing cold weather and a series of snowstorms in recent weeks has boosted the snowfall that had already accumulated during early November at Gore Mountain Ñ and many hundreds of skiers are now enjoying early-season skiing, Gore officials said this week. By Saturday Dec. 7, Gore should have double the number of slopes and trails open for skiing enjoyment, Gore marketing director Emily Stanton said Dec. 3.

The unseasonably frigid weather and ample snow prompted Gore to begin staying open all week long as of Nov. 29, far earlier than in recent years. Ò WeÕ re excited about the crowd and the snow conditions here,Ó Gore Manager Mike Pratt said. Ò WeÕ re happy that Mother Nature nature gave us this gift, allowing the opportunity to have a really good start on our season.Ó The favorable weather conditions have also allowed the ski center to open up enough terrain and chairlifts to offer skiing suited for a wide range of skiing abilities, Stanton said. Ò Were very excited to have this wide spectrum of terrain available this early on,Ó she said. GoreÕ s Topridge chairlift is opening this Saturday, and the Straight Brook quad chairlift that services the summit of Gore Mountain is slated to open shortly thereafter.

The snow and frigid weather has prompted the opening of the Uncas Trail, which offers challenging Black Diamond skiing.

Also open this season is the new Greenway conveyor that takes beginning skiers up a modest slope, and itÕ s been very popular with the crowd, Gore officials said. Gore’s gondola to the top of the mountain is open, and so is the Sunway lift. Among the many trails opened in recent weeks were the challenging Foxlair, Ruby Run, Sunway and Quicksilver trails, as will as Arena and 3B, both intermediate runs, as well as the easy Jamboree trail.

This Sunday begins the fourth week of operation for the 201314 season. The Nov. 16 opening of Gore was the earliest opening of the full-service ski resort since 1986.

Gore is featuring a promotion that now only is building up a crowd, but is helping local people in need: For each item of canned food brought to the ski center, a $10 discount on a lift ticket will be given Ñ thereÕ s a $20 maximum discount. The food is donated to the food pantry at JohnsburgÕ s Outreach Center, which provides various services to the community all year long.

Check GoreÕ s website for details.

Pratt extended a welcome to people to come up to Gore and join the fun. Ò Skiing conditions are great, and in addition to the snow thatÕ s fallen, weÕ re making snow like crazy,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ ve go a nice crowd, every trail thatÕ s open is in great shape, and weÕ re expanding terrain as fast as we can.Ó

Shoppers swarm Warrensburg on ‘Buy Local Saturday’ thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Anna Busser held up a wad of raffle tickets that was thicker than a vintage Los Angeles phone book. Ò Look at how many people visited businesses throughout Warrensburg today,Ó she said. Ò Stores were busy all day long.Ó The tickets were handed out at stores throughout downtown Warrensburg in the first-ever Buy Local promotion Ñ held on the Saturday following Thanksgiving.

Local merchants offered discounts, giveaways and prizes as well as the raffle tickets.

Both event organizers, shoppers and merchants said the promotion was a substantial success.

Busser, who has advocated for sustainable lifestyles, helped organize the event with other members of the Greater Warrensburg Business Alliance.

Alliance chairwoman Kathy Mosher-Hill circulated through town on Nov. 30 as did other members of her group, placing signs of participating retailers, coordinating details and when daytime diminished, collecting the raffle tickets. Ò There were people in town from

Area residents gather to honor Warrensburg librarian Sarah Farrar for 39 years of service

Richards Library director Sarah Farrar (front) and her assistants (rear, left to right) Barbara Whitford, Lynn Crandall and Linda Lamy attempt to retain their composure after Farrar makes a joke while the four pose for a commemorative photo. Farrar was honored with a retirement party Sunday Dec. 1, with special recognition for her 39 years of dedicated service to this revered local institution.

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Sarah Farrar, the long-time director of Richards Library who is retiring in several weeks, was honored Sunday Dec. 1 by a gathering of community residents at the library.

Mary Cranker gazed at Farrar as the librarian cut a cake fashioned like the fanciful top-hat worn by the Dr. SeussÕ Cat-in-

the-Hat character, a gesture that commemorated her 39 years of service to the library Ñ particularly reading childrenÕ s tales to youngsters.

Farrar has the distinction of being only the third director of the library since it was founded 112 years ago.

Cranker recalled how her children, now middle-aged, spent long hours in the library and were read to by FarrarÕ s predecessor, Jennie Cameron. She also remarked about how Farrar in more recent decades would reach out to readers of all ages, and imbue them with a love of books and reading. Ò IÕ ve always looked forward to that phone call from Sarah, Ô The books you ordered are now in,Õ Ó she said.

Linda Lamy, whoÕ s served as an assistant librarian for 24 years, said Farrar was fun to work with, not only due to her cheery attitude, but because sheÕ s Long-time Richards Library director Sarah Farrar pauses before cutting the first slice out of a cake been caring and warm with people of fashioned like the top-hat of Dr. Seuss’ Cat-in-the-Hat character.

“Our holiday festival has grown and flourished, and has enjoyed ever-increasing appeal to visitors who come here and stay for a weekend,Ó she said.

This yearÕ s theme, Ò And the Bells shall Ring Out,Ó refers to the ringing of church bells throughout Warrensburg on the day of the townÕ s Bicentennial this past Feb. 12 and around Warren County for the countyÕ s bicentennial on March 12 Ñ and the Warrensburg holiday fest will be the observing these two milestones. Christmas in Warrensburgh will be last of the sanctioned events observing these two milestones. A secondary theme of Christmas in Warrensburgh, Whalen said, is about sustainable living in our local community Ñ including a focus on locally produced, handcrafted foods and goods.

For a quarter-century, Christmas in Warrensburgh has brought people of all ages together in a festive spirit, and promoted spiritual and cultural enrichment, she said. Ò Our theme embraces aspects of small-town life in our community weÕ re thankful for and weÕ re happy to share with others,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s all about sharing an old-fashioned holiday celebration in the Adirondack Mountains.Ó

Food pantries need our support

L

ocal food pantries Ñ and many of our neighbors Ñ need help.

The holiday season is always a busy time for food pantries. The combination of yearend expenses, holiday pressures, the arrival of the heating season, the loss of seasonal jobs and other factors make for peak demand during December and January.

While food pantries anticipate the increased demand, this holiday season brings never-beforeseen problems for food shelves.

Cuts to the federal food stamp program that took effect Nov. 1. Those cuts to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, widely known as food stamps, began with the sunset of higher benefits that were part of the 2009 federal stimulus package meant to help Americans through the recession. Those cuts mean more people are relying on local food banks. Ò We really noticed a difference when SNAP was cut,Ó Margaret Beuerlein, director if the Ticonderoga Food Pantry, said. Ò A lot of people depend on food stamps.Ó Contrary to common belief, many of those relying on food stamps are working people. In fact, nearly 30 percent of the adults receiving SNAP benefits have jobs.

Also, food stamps benefits aren’t exactly big money. The average monthly SNAP benefit per person is $133.85, Ñ less than $1.50 per person, per meal. Ò People are really struggling to make ends meet,Ó Beuerlein said. Ò WeÕ re seeing more and more people who have jobs, the working poor. The cost of living has gotten greater than many incomes in our area. People canÕ t live on minimum wage.Ó The Ti Food Pantry has served an average of 100 families a month in 2013, but in October that number jumped to 178. Beuerlein expects it to grow further. Ò ThatÕ s families,Ó she stressed. Ò That doesnÕ t count the children. I donÕ t know how many actual people are being served at the food pantry. I know itÕ s more than ever before.Ó TiconderogaÕ s food shelf is not alone. According to the Hunger Action Network of New York State, 81 percent of the stateÕ s emergency food programs reported an increase in the number of individuals served in 2012, roughly one third of who were children. Ò Currently, 1 in 6 residents of New York State struggle with food hardship,Ó said Sharon M. Smith, executive director of the Food Bank Association of New York State,. Ò And in light of the recent Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program cuts, many more New Yorkers will need to turn to emergency feeding providers such as food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters served by the eight regional food banks throughout New York State.Ó The demand on food pantries could continue to grow. Deeper cuts to SNAP over the next decade are possible as negotiations about the federal farm bill wear on in Washington. The federal program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The cuts to food stamps arenÕ t the only problem facing local food pantries. Food costs, including those to food pantries, are going up.

The Moriah Food pantry, like most food shelves in the area, purchases food from the Northeast Regional Food Bank. Increased prices there mean less food for the Moriah food shelf.

Sue Morse, director of the Moriah Food Pantry, said her agency is having trouble filling its shelves this holiday season. Ò IÕ m asking residents to donate non-perishable food items, hold food drives and make cash donations,Ó Morse said. Ò Moriah residents have always come through for the pantry in the past and we know we can count on their caring and generosity to help once again.Ó Gov. Andrew Cuomo has also recognized the problems facing food pantries. Ò With the combination of cuts to the federal SNAP program and an approaching winter season, it is more important than ever that New Yorkers support their local food bank,Ó Cuomo said. Ò New YorkÕ s food banks serve a variety of vulnerable populations across the state, including senior citizens, individuals with disabilities, and low income families Ñ many of whom have already been impacted by federal SNAP reductions. By purchasing a few extra items to donate when grocery shopping, we can all do our part to put food on the table of those in need this holiday season.Ó The good news is that North Country residents are a generous lot. Food drives are now planned in several communities. Help is on the way.

LetÕ s hope everyone does their part. While food pantries are seldom in the news, they provide a crucial, year-round service. They deserve and need our support. Ñ

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

•100 years ago - Dec., 1913• J. E. Sawyer relocates to Glens Falls Hill

The biggest real estate deal which has taken place in some time in Glens Falls was consummated in December, 1913 when J. E. Sawyer & Co. purchased from Mayor W. Irving Griffing the three-story brick building on the top of Glen Street hill constructed in 1905, formerly occupied by the Griffing & Leland Co. as a livery stable and sales establishment store which offered three floors of carriages, buckboards, harnesses and the best in driving equipment and it was later ran by Mr. Griffing, a former Athol native, until his retirement from business last spring. The consideration was not announced but it is said to have been in the neighborhood of $35,000.

As soon as complete equipment has been put in, Sawyer will move into their new building which will be probably around March 1, 1914. J. E. Sawyer & Co. has been in business 30 years, having first established a harness and horse goods establishment in 1883 near the Jointa Lime CompanyÕ s property in Lower Warren St. at the foot of the Feeder Canal. Later they moved to the store now occupied by R.E. Burger. Eight years later they moved to Park and Glen streets and 17 years ago moved to their present site at 30 Warren St. The company now occupies the three floors at No. 36, also the loft over the National Express CompanyÕ s office and has a large store shed in the rear.

(Note - Originally the palatial home of Duncan McGregor, built about 1836 by Capt. Sidney W. Berry, for whom Berry Street was named, once presided at the top of Glen Street Hill and its impressive retaining wall later supported the entrance driveway to the J.E. Sawyer store which sold hardware, paint, steel, mill supplies, heating and plumbing supplies and later, after raising to four stories with 58,000 square feet of space at 64 to 90 Glen Street, became a Glens Falls landmark.

In 1879 the now-legendary Joseph Edward Sawyer went to work as a bookkeeper for the Glens Falls Hub and Spoke Co., and by 1883 he bought the business and established his own company. He moved to the three-story Glen Street Hill property in 1914 and the rest is history.

In 2006 developer Peter Rice, a Mohawk Indian, of Brightstar Development, claimed to have a contract to buy the property for $2.2 million, to demolish all except the main building and build a grand 125-room hotel, with 15 suites, and a convention center, plus a pedestrian walkway over Glen St. to the Glens Falls Civic Center, but nothing materialized.

Turkey spared the hatchet in radio promo

There is a very lucky turkey who has taken up residence at Nettle Meadow Farm in Thurman after facing the axe just days before Thanksgiving. In a promotional stunt for 100.3 The Point, Whitefield’s Free Range Farm and Nettle Meadow Goat Farm and Sanctuary collaborated on saving the life of a turkey. His name is Paul McTurkey and he will be joining Stevie Nicks as a sanctuary animal at Nettle Meadow. Thurman Station Association and Perky GrangerÕ s Fiction Among Friends have each donated a bag of cracked corn to feed Mr. McTurkey.

The radio station was trying to achieve the goal of getting 3,000 Ò likesÓ on Facebook by Thanksgiving, and it appears they did just that. Paul has settled in well at the goat farm and we hear he has hit it off famously with Stevie Nicks!

Writing workshop scheduled in Wrnsbg.

Heather Haskins, a writer, blogger and writing instructor from Clifton Park will teach a writing class in Warrensburg on the four Wednesdays in February from noon to 2 p.m. The four-session course is open to those who wish to learn more about writing memoir and/or fiction.

Advance payments of $148 per person can be made by contacting Perky Granger at PersisGranger@aol.com or (352) 463-3089.

The fee will cover all four workshops and four Bistro luncheons which will include soup of choice, salad, toast points, coffee/tea and cookie or cream puff. This would make a perfect gift for the writer on your Christmas shopping list. Participants are limited to 10.

Hats off to the Thurman Station Association; they will be donating a portion of their revenues to our local food pantry.

Party’s uninvited guest threatens host

Charged with threatening to shoot Dr. Lemon Thomson, Orville Hull was arrested in his home at West Mountain by Deputy Sheriff Philip OÕ Connell. He was arraigned before Justice Prentiss Gifford as Warren County Judge Raley was out of town and could not be found to fix the bail for holding the prisoner for the Grand Jury and he was locked up in Glens Falls police headquarters.

Dr. Thomson recently built a bungalow at the foot of the mountain, where he often entertains. Recently an evening party was given there. Hull, who had not been invited, appeared during the evening under the influence of liquor and made himself obnoxious. The result was he was thrown out of the building by Dr. Thomson. It is said that he went to his home about two miles distant and returned with a gun with which, Dr. Thomson says, Hull intended to shoot him. The man was overpowered and the gun was taken away from him.

Wouldn’t stand for joshing

A sassy bunch of young fellows in Corinth recently attempted to Ò joshÓ Levi Mosher, of Thurman, who was passing along the street with several friends and were considerably surprised when the husky youth from up the line resented their insults and sailed into them with his fists. Leonard Cutter received a smack in the eye and later had Mosher arrested on a charge of assault in the third degree. He was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Brady, who fined him $5. Mosher went to Corinth to seek employment in the International Paper Mill.

Sales Tax

from page 1 Merlino has also noted that the lakefront and resort property in the county is escalating remarkably in value, while other properties havenÕ t, leading to an ever-greater gap between the property-rich and property-poor towns.

At a recent Board of Supervisors meeting, he circulated data showing that such a wealth disparity has been increasing dramatically for the counties’ towns over the past 27 years. His figures indicated that LuzerneÕ s share of income tax revenue dropped by nearly one-third over that time.

Dusek said last week he sympathized with the concerns, particularly how the gap was getting ever wider in revenue distribution.

“We need to answer the questions of how to improve revenue for Warren CountyÕ s smaller towns,Ó Dusek said, noting that the appropriations on assessed value has been the traditional formula.

He observed that reduced sales tax revenue over time means a heavier tax load falls on the property owners in the townÕ s without pricey property. Ò The shift is a real problem,Ó he said. Ò We need to look at ways to enhance the revenues of the small towns so it remains affordable for people to live in those communities.Ó

www.adirondackjournal.com Warrensburg officials have for years raised the question of the fairness of sales tax distribution, noting that their community hosts very active commercial activity that generates substantial sales tax revenue, but it receives relatively small portion of that money back to help fund town expenses.

For instance, a town like Horicon with plenty of lakefront received about $1.35 million in revenue from sales tax in 2012 Ñ with scant commercial activity that generates the revenue Ñ while Warrensburg received about $756,000 last year.

Queensbury has historically had either a low town tax or none at all Ñ but they also host a wealth of stores and commercial properties that generate sales tax. But Merlino has argued that the residents of the rural towns buy most of their goods and services in Queensbury, because they arenÕ t readily available in their hometowns Ñ and the small-town residents ought to get a small share of that revenue back.

Merlino has also stressed that state law allows counties to devise their own distribution formulas.

Dusek and others have suggested that the formula might be retained, but a special county fund could be created to distribute money to the assessment-poor towns like Warrensburg, Thurman, Lake Luzerne and Stony Creek.

Although Merlino has cited that a shift of several million dollars in sales tax revenue to

the poorer towns would be equitable, he recently suggested to the county leaders that $500,000 be set aside in a special fund for the towns not now getting their fair share.

Dusek said he would be fully evaluating the

options for re-distribution, and heÕ d be presenting suggestions to the board of supervisors in the coming months. Ò We need a way that everyone is treated with equity and fairness,” he said.

The students of Mrs. Raymond’s first grade class at Warrensburg Elementary clown around when asked to pose for a photo, following their recent performance of the skit “Who’s In Rabbit’s House” for their parents. The play is an adaptation from the book written by Verna Aardema, based on a traditional African folk tale. In presenting the tale, the first-graders learned how to rehearse for a play and various other aspects of a simple dramatic presentation.

squad’s pending plan to close its doors, dissolve it’s corporation, and sell its ambulance.

Calls made to Warren County emergency dispatch coordinator Larry Jeffords werenÕ t answered as of Dec. 2.

But Warrensburg Emergency Squad Operations Steve Emerson, on duty Wednesday at the Warrensburg squad headquarters, answered questions regarding ambulance coverage in Thurman.

Warrensburg has been dispatched on emergency medical calls since January, when their contract with the town of Thurman commenced. He said that his agency was responding to three to five calls per month recently, as specified in their contract.

The Thurman Town Board chose to contract with the Warrensburg squad beginning in 2013 rather than Thurman EMS because of the Thurman squad’s persistent financial troubles and their loss of Advanced Life Support certification. Despite recurring promises from Thurman squad officials that their members would receive ALS training and get certified, it wasn’t accomplished over the prior two years.

Also, LaFlure and other regional emergency officials have said that the Thurman squad can’t pay for qualified round-theclock personnel with merely 80 or so calls per year. The regional

emergency officials have also expressed concerns of whether the Thurman squad can maintain its mandated medical certification. It was unclear this week whether the squad indeed has a certified medical director backing its operation.

Thurman Board members have repeatedly urged that the Thurman squad, with its dedicated volunteers, merge or partner with the Warrensburg squad, but negotiations to do so broke down. Town officials have said that a combined squad would offer substantial benefits to residents. Ò A merger or partnership between the two squads would have been ideal to meet the needs of town citizens,Ó Wood said Nov. 27. Wood said on Dec. 1 that she had not yet heard about any of the recent developments concerning the squad or any pending closure.

The town of ThurmanÕ s multi-year contract paid the Warrensburg squad $30,000 for EMS coverage in 2013, and this sum While praising local volunteers for their dedication and tenacity, Warren County Emergency Serincreases to $50,000 in 2014.

Emerson said Wednesday that Thur- vices Director Brian LaFlure warns in March that Thurman Emergency Medical Services, a squad man being officially offline doesn’t change with about 80-100 calls per year, could not raise the funds needed to keep ALS-certified staff on any aspect of his agencyÕ s operation. He duty to respond at any hour. He said that squads need to have a minimum of 600 calls per year said that the Thurman squad had been to stay afloat without substantial financial support. This last week, Thurman EMS sent a letter to recently responding to about one-third of county emergency officials declaring that it is off-line, not to be dispatched, and its ambulance the calls in Thurman Ñ incidences that his was out of service.

Photo by Thom Randall agency had also responded to.

While some Thurman citizens have onstrated the value of a consolidation of the squads, to provide wondered whether the Thurman squad’s closure would delay treatment, Emerson cited an incident Nov. 23 on Mountain Road the most expert, advanced medical service and the quickest rein which WarrensburgÕ s ambulance crews were busy, but a Thur- sponse.

“I would hope that the squad would explore this option of man resident whoÕ s an EMT with Warrensburg EMS got to the partnership or consolidation.

I

tÕ s happened again.

IÕ ve received another annual Ô love letterÕ from a virulent member of the antihunting community who has taken me to task for promoting a Ò sickening blood sport.Ó I guess sheÕ s right. IÕ ll admit it, I have stepped over the line, just as VermontÕ s Governor Peter Shumlin did when he took a six point buck on the opening day of VermontÕ s annual deer season.

Reportedly, the governorÕ s buck weighed in at 186 pounds. I wish I could say the same, however my buck remains on the hoof and the season is nearly over.

Humans canÕ t remove themselves from the natural way of things. By genetic design, we are to be predators, and try though we may, we simply canÕ t deny it.

Did you ever wonder why little kids will try to throw a rock at a bird. They canÕ t explain why they do it or try to stop it. It just happens, I believe, because itÕ s part of our nature.

I suppose I could always take up another sport, like basketball, or football, but it would probably be difficult to gather together enough 55-year-old athletes to play a game.

Funny thing though, I know a lot of 50, 60 and 70-yearold hunters who continue to enjoy their sport. I can even name a few that continue to enjoy the hunt well into their 90Õ s.

The challenge that hunting provides to humans is one of the finest ways to express our instinctual nature.

There simply arenÕ t a lot of other active sports that provide such a wonderful opportunity for longevity. Hunting is a great source of exercise. It not only burns calories, it helps to keep you fit.

Depending on the method, the weather and the amount of time spent afield, you can literally burn off thousands of calories in a dayÕ s hunt. IÕ ll drop 15 to 20 pounds during the average hunting season. Even sitting on watch, you burn calories shivering.

Hunting is a life sport which is accomplished with the death of an animal. However, it doesnÕ t always work that way. Most hunters spend far more time hunting, than they do harvesting.

On average, I spend nearly a monthÕ s time walking the woods during the hunting season. In 30 plus years of hunting, IÕ d guess IÕ ve spent less than 30 seconds of total shooting time combined.

ItÕ s been estimated an adult white-tailed deer consumes approximately 5-7 lb of food per day. It would seem that it would require a lot of munching, but the deer never seem to stay still for very long.

In fact, the average whitetail hunter has less than seven seconds total time from the first sight of a deer to the culmination of the hunting experience, which is about the time it takes a reader to finish the following paragraph.

Within that seven second time frame, he must identify the deer has a set of antlers, target the vital zone and make sure there arenÕ t any other hunters in the background.

This process is often achieved in a driving rain, or while battling a wind borne snow delivered in temperatures that reach to 20 below. ItÕ s all part of our game, and there arenÕ t any referees to call time out.

But we wouldnÕ t want it any other way. No two hunting days are ever the same, because conditions constantly change, and whitetails react to those changes in different ways.

Don’t answer that phone The law has been on the books for years, and many hunters are aware that two-way radios canÕ t be used to give the location of a game animal for the purpose of taking such animal.

However, the law also prohibits the use of any other Ò electronic communication device,Ó which includes that Ô damn cell phoneÕ which has likely spooked more than a few deer this year.

And for those nimble-fingered hunters, who believe a text is not the same as a call, youÕ d be wrong.

Tipping over a deer, which you only realized due to the tip in your ear is not considered a Ò fair chaseÕ Õ harvest.

I know some will disagree with such a statement, but many years later as you recount that hunt, there will always be a lingering Ô what ifÕ when you stare at that big rack on the wall.

Fling that sling, and other common mistakes It happened many ears ago, but I remember it like it occurred yesterday. I was walking out of the woods with my deer rifle slung over my shoulder. I hadn’t really given up on the hunt, I was simply too lazy to carry the gun in my hands.

As I made my way through a thick patch of small pines, I jumped a real Ò racker.Ó It was only a few feet away, but by the time my gun was unslung it was gone, disappeared into the thick cover.

That is when I learned to always carry my gun. I believe slings have probably saved more deer than all of the out of whack sights and scopes combined.

When hunting deer, be on the hunt all the time. Too often hunters are unprepared to take a shot as they enter or exit the woods, which is often the best time of day.

DonÕ t be in a hurry to get to your vehicle or back to camp, take it slow and continue to hunt hard If you stay with the hunt and concentrate, it will dramatically improve your odds of getting a shot; rather than watching a white flag bounce off into the distant forest.

Game harvest reporting period extended Hunters now have 7 days to report their harvest of deer, bear or turkey. Successful hunters of deer, bear, and turkey are required to report their harvest through the DEC’s online reporting system or by calling 1-866-GAME-RPT (1866-426-3778). The information you can provide will only make the hunting better In the past, hunters were required to report within 48 hours of their harvest. As a measure to increase flexibility for hunters to comply with the reporting requirement, particularly for hunters who hunt in remote areas that lack cell phone coverage or internet access or both, DEC has extended the reporting deadline to within 7 days of taking the animal. Ò The man who goes afoot, prepared to camp anywhere and in any weather, is the most independent fellow on earth. Ò Horace Kephart, Camping and Woodcraft, 1917 Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Tick tock Hunters, especially those traveling the woods and fields of the Champlain basin should take extra cautions to protect from ticks this season. IÕ ve already received more calls, letters and emails on this topic this year than at any other point in my career.

Tuck pant legs into your socks or cinch them with a rubber band or wear high top rubber boots.

Avoid sitting on the bare ground whenever possible, especially in grassy areas. Look for a log to sit on, or use a strap on seat that attaches to a tree.

Take the time to shake out your hunting clothes when you return home, and be sure to inspect for ticks. DonÕ t take it lightly, Lyme disease is no joke, and it can easily be contracted around here.

Jason Morgan of Willsboro recently took this nice, 217 pound, 10 point buck while hunting with his relatives in the High Peaks Region. Now that’s a healthy lifestyle!

he acorns, beechnuts, berries and fruits of many of our trees and bushes are mature and ready for picking. All of these are really seeds; some just have fancier packaging, like the apples, pears and acorns.

The bright colors help aid birds and other animals to see them. Along with the colors, the nutritious meal is the plantÕ s way of making sure the seeds get eaten or carried away for the survival of that plant species.

Birds and animals eat the seeds and they get deposited elsewhere in the

By Rich Redman droppings. Squirrels and chipmunks all collect seeds and bury them or hide them for winter food sources. This helps spread the seeds throughout the area, where many may grow into trees, if conditions are right. Its natureÕ s way to get seeds transported throughout the planet.

In some cases the seeds can just sit idle and wait. They are dormant until there is a disturbance, which creates the right ecological atmosphere for them to grow in. A fire may burn off surface organic matter which exposes mineral soil; a medium where some species prefer. A wind storm can topple trees which expose the ground to sunlight, which activates those dormant seeds to start growing.

This starts the ecological plant race to see who gets the sun and who gets shaded out and dies.

Some seeds have built in Velcro so they stick to your dogÕ s hair or your coat and get carried to another site. I have a collection on one of my orange sweatshirts that seems to be a sticky seed magnet. I donÕ t have the patience to pick each seed off, so I wear the shirt and deal with it. Who cares? My existence doesnÕ t depend on fashion!

These acorns, berries and other fruits and sticky things all contain the seeds for the next generation of plants. A plantÕ s goal is to grow and reproduce. NatureÕ s marketing campaign seems to work. Plants are everywhere.

As a soul who likes to manage the woods and fields, I have carried pockets full of acorns, seeds and fruits home in my coats, pants and empty coffee cups for years. Now I carry zip lock bags to collect seeds in. The mud room and kitchen table all have seen my daily collections and have been used to sort out the numerous seeds collected that day. Maybe thatÕ s why my hunting score is low. I am spending my time observing trees, the forest, streams and wetlands and wandering through the woods, taking my gun for a walk, always wanting to know what is on the other side of that hill before me!

Once I have my collection together, I plant the seeds in 4 by 8 nursery boxes to get them started. A mix of compost and sand works great for a seedbed. The following spring or summer, if they are large enough, I transplant them. I may need to wait a second year to allow them to get large enough and establish a sound root system, before moving them to their final home. I have collected walnuts, acorns for oak trees, high bush cranberry, winterberries, wild raisins and numerous other seeds to get my wildlife planting. Wild apples crushed and then the mess spread out in a planting box works great. In time small wild apple trees grow if you weed out the bed.

I thought I was the only nut who collected nuts, but I found a similar character who shares the passion.

Every once in a while you meet that someone who does something extra to give back to wildlife. Such a man lives in our area. He wishes to remain anonymous and I respect his desire for the lack of fame. I will call him Johnny Acorn!

For 20 years now, this 83 year old, seasoned outdoorsman has collected five gallon buckets of oak acorns in the fall. Then while on hikes and hunting excursions throughout the Adirondacks, with his red and black checkered hunting coat pockets filled to the wool flaps, he would plant acorns in openings and isolated spots to help provide a source of wildlife food for the future. He has planted white and red oak acorns for two decades now and his offspring of oaks grow throughout the area.

I took a tour with the man and he showed me his work of art; his PicassoÕ s of the smooth and woody bark tree world. Red, white and swamp oak plantings growing in thickets of pine and maple.

With the memory of a young man, he was able to show me some of the first oaks that started from his acorn plantings. Many are now 3 or 4 inches in diameter at breast height; slow growers because of poor soils and because they were deliberately planted in the shade of white pines, hopefully protected from the mouths of hungry deer.

This passion started when he saw the beech trees dying off years ago.

He knew the wildlife needed the nuts for food, so he took on the chore of assisting Mother Nature. Sometimes he would transplant oak seedlings, but mostly just planted acorns. With a sharp stick in hand he would walk along and just poke a hole into the earth and drop in an acorn, step it in with his hunting boot and walk on. Survival was in the hands of Mother Earth and God now.

The whitetails have had their share of JohnnyÕ s trees. We saw numerous ones that were browsed heavily, with a shape more like a bush than a tree. He has lost many to over browsing, but continued planting each and every year. Eventually some out grew the mouths of the deer and are now tall enough to survive.

He told me: Ò plant as many as you can, wherever you can; the good ones are the ones that grow; nature will sort it all outÓ . As we drove home from the tour, he told me he wonÕ t be around long enough to see what happens to his trees. Over the years he has lost many, but many more oaks will survive to live long after Johnny Acorn is gone.

This manÕ s oak tree legacy will remain. I will never forget where his trees are located. When my friend Johnny is gone, he now knows, I will take care of them for him and carry on the Johnny Acorn tradition.
