Bump in the road for ‘Lotus Link’
This Week WARRENSBURG
By Ryan Edwards
W’burgh museum announces walk
ryan@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ When Lotus Group CEO Ash Anand proposed a daily $4 bus service connecting Warrensburg to Lake George, Queensbury and Glens Falls, his vision was met with a positive response from both Warrensburg residents and elected officials, who agreed that there was a need for such a service in the town. During the month of March, the Lotus team held meetings at the town hall and the senior center, where they heard stories from residents about jobloss due to lack of transportation, daily walking or cycling along Route 9 to catch a trolley from Lake George to Queensbury or Glens Falls, and the shame and lack of independence associated with relying on friends and family for rides to medical appointments. After learning the specific needs of community members, the Lotus Group set to work securing the necessary government approvals to establish the Lotus Link, as it

Canines, hippie culture to be celebrated at ‘Adk. Woof Stock’ By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ This Saturday and Sunday, visitors to Chestertown will likely hear classic 1960s music as well as barking from happy dogs, as the first-ever Adirondack Woof Stock takes over town. Billed as Ò A Weekend of Peace, Paws & Music,Ó the two-day event will feature plenty of activities for canines and their human companions, while celebrating the free-wheeling culture and music of the late 1960s. Most of the events are to be held on the field behind the town of Chester Municipal Center on Main St. There is no admission charge. To be held Saturday, June 20, and Sunday, June 21, the event is to feature competitive dog diving, canine Frisbee catching, dogs chasing lures through an obstacle course, a dog talent contest, canine agility demonstrations, dog grooming, a veterinary clinic and pet adoption. Adirondack Woof Stock is expected to feature a flower-power Ò vibe,Ó as the name is a play on the renowned Woodstock music festival in 1969 that captivated the public and defined a generation.
Musicians are to perform classic rock throughout both days on the two stages on the municipal field. The hours for the events on the festival grounds are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Nostalgic wares from the late 1960s, including tie-dyed clothing and other hippie-era goods, will be for sale alongside food vendors. Blessings of animals and raffles are to occur. A Saturday evening concert at the vintage Carol Theater downtown will feature musicians playing the music of Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, and other artists and groups who performed at the 1969 Woodstock festival. Ò Tickets are selling quickly, and our prior concerts at the Carol Theater have been sell-outs, so people should obtain tickets as soon as they can,Ó said Woof Stock organizer Cindy Mead. Tickets to the tribute concert are $20 each. The concert is to be followed by a Ò Burn your Bra for CharityÓ event, a fundraiser for area womenÕ s shelters. Food to be offered daily on the festival grounds includes specialty offerings by ButtinoÕ s Bistro, Sticks & Stones Restaurant, BullHouse Restaurant, Panther Mountain Inn, Basil & Wicks Restaurant, Beaners Coffee Ñ with Ò walk-awayÓ tacos Ñ and the Chestertown Rotary Club grilling up hamburgers and hot dogs. In the canine diving, Frisbee catching and obstacle course con-
tests, the public is welcome to have their dogs participate along with professional competitors. Businesses in Chestertown are planning to post peace signs, and their employees are likely to be wearing tie-dye clothing and sport flowers in their hair, she added. On both Saturday and Sunday afternoon, a dog talent show is to be held, during which canine festival participants can win prizes for performing pet tricks, or demonstrating obedience. Other categories in the competition include Ò Owner Lookalike,Ó and Ò Best Vocal Performance.Ó Forecasts for the weekend call for the weather to be favorable Ñ particularly Saturday, when itÕ s expected to be clear and balmy, according to the National Weather Service. Mead predicted that as many as 1,000 or more could be attending Adirondack Woof Stock, a first for northeastern U.S. although similar events in the Southeast U.S. and elsewhere have attracted crowds numbering in the thousands Ñ one of the festivals drawing an estimated 30,000. She said the organizations operating the dog dock diving and the canine agility course have been advertising throughout the Northeast as well as Canada, so attendance could be quite high. Ò With the weather being clear, Woof Stock could be really huge,Ó she said. Ò It could be as big as WarrensburgÕ s annual garage saleÓ Ñ which draws a crowd of 50,000 or more each year.

WARRENSBURG Ñ With a single glimpse of the sprawling bicentennial mural adorning the southern wall of the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History, it is clear anyone who makes their way up Main Street that Warrensburg is a town in-tune with its past Ñ collectively striving to maintain the balance between embracing the new and preserving the old. First settled around 1790 and established officially in 1813 by a division of the original town of Thurman, Warrensburg established a bustling local economy by harnessing the might of the Schroon River to power such enterprises as sawmills, industrial tanning, paper making and clothing manufacture, all of which continued into the latter half of the twentieth century. In order to share this storied legacy with a contemporary audience, the Warrensburgh Historical Society will conduct a free walking tour of the early residential and civic district of the town on Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21. As a part of the Ò I Love N.Y. Path through History Weekend,Ó the one-mile tour will be led by architectural historian Delbert Chambers and pass more than 30 historic properties. This is one of four walking and two driving tours

Each tour will be limited to 20 participants. Reservations must be made by calling Town Historian Sandi Parisi at 623-2207.

According to Museum Director Steve Parisi, Ò The website is designed to showcase WarrensburgÕ s more than 400 properties on both the State and National Historic Registers.Ó On the site, visitors can become acquainted with these propertiesÑ their individual stories and their historical significance, as well as additional history about the town and a number of unregistered properties, both currently intact and Ò lost.Ó After June 19, the website can be found at warrensburgheritagetrail.org.

Lotus Group to open daycare center, hold short-story contest By Ryan Edwards
ryan@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ In preparation for the grand-opening of their new Daycare facility in Warrensburg, the Lotus Group of companies has announced the second installment of their Lotus Loves Literacy charity initiative. Lotus Loves Literacy is a series of literacyrelated fundraising events to benefit area institutions of learning, scheduled to accompany the opening of the Lotus GroupÕ s latest Warrensburg venture, Small Tales Early Learning Center and Daycare Ñ a daycare and teaching facility with a strong emphasis on literacy and story-telling, designed to kindle a love and appreciation for the written word. The Center is scheduled to open sometime between late June and early July on River Street in Warrensburg, directly across the street from the Grist Mill Restaurant, pending necessary state approvals. The inner walls of the facility are in the process of being painted by muralist Patty LaFountain, featuring classic childrenÕ s book characters, and the book collection is growing day by day, bolstered by donations from Warrensburg Central School and Richards Library in Warrensburg, said Lotus Group Communications Director Maggie Morgan. Ò Everything is going so well and it is really exciting to go into the facility and see how it has changed in a matter of two months,Ó Morgan said. Ò Everything is coming together and what was once just an empty, kind of sad look-
ing place is now so beautiful and filled with character.Ó The facility is in pre-enrollment phase, and information for parents to familiarize themselves with the curriculum, rates and fees, parent handbook, meals and more can be found at smalltaleselc.org.
Short story contest
The first Lotus Loves Literacy event, a “poetry slamÓ contest held at the Lodge on Echo Lake on Wednesday, May 6, raised over $1,000 for Richards Library in Warrensburg, and saw dozens of area residents perform their original poetry to compete for a number of prizes donated by the Lotus Group. Hoping to continue the momentum, Morgan has announced the second installment of the initiative — a short story contest to benefit the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History. The contest, entitled Ò Rewrite History with Your Own Small Tale,Ó invites area residents to submit a short story set in their hometown, featuring at least one historical figure “on one particularly extraordinary, peculiar, strange, exciting or scary day,Ó according to the competition guidelines. Ò We think it will be really neat to see the submissions we get,Ó Morgan said. Ò People could go in any direction with a contest like this, and I hope we have a lot of participants.Ó Morgan encourages contestants to begin their search for inspiration at the museum, which is open free of charge on Wednesdays from noon to 4 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to
3 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 3 p.m. The contest is divided into seven categories: kindergarten through first grade; second through third grade; fourth through fifth grade; sixth through seventh grade; eighth through ninth grade; tenth through twelfth grade; and adults 18 and older. Contestants entering stories in the kindergarten through first grade category may submit a captioned illustration similar to a comic strip, and contestants between kindergarten and third grade are invited to submit as long of stories as they are comfortable with. Contestants from the fourth grade through the adult category must submit a story between 500 and 2,000 words. Winning stories will be published in a collection to be sold at local stores as well as the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History. An award ceremony is scheduled to be held once the winners are announced in August. Contest fees to accompany submissions are $5 per contestant, and can paid by check or money order made out to Lotus Loves Literacy. Submissions and fees should be mailed to Maggie Morgan at 8 Mountain Avenue in Warrensburg.

Editorial
Good to have Sanders in the race
H
illary Clinton has seemed, for years now, a virtual shoe-in to be the next Democrat to run for president. The one-two punch of big name, big money Ñ more so than reputation or policy Ñ has left her seemingly alone in the push for the party nod. That said, Bernie: ItÕ s nice to have you aboard. This isnÕ t an endorsement for Sanders, who serves as VermontÕ s junior senator, but rather what his 2016 presidential campaign represents: Choice, discourse and a nomination that isnÕ t handed out, but earned. LetÕ s face it, come election day, weÕ re effectively left with options A and B. And if one of those is going to be Clinton, itÕ d be a disservice to voters if she was only there by way of capital and family. The run for the top office has, after all, become increasingly skewed: Hot-button topics, super PACs, mud-slinging. Candidates tip-toe whatÕ s polarizing and stick to the talking points. It’s less about qualifications and more so the ability the sell an image. And thatÕ s exactly why, when Sanders stepped into the ring, the nation let out a collective chuckle. But that has started to change. In a recent Wisconsin Democratic straw poll, the senator pulled a surprising 41 percent, just eight points behind Clinton and an indicator of a campaign thatÕ s growing in legitimacy. While Sanders ousting Clinton for the nomination may not be likely, his challenging of the former Secretary of State is healthy for the democratic process. Clinton has quietly navigated the press amidst criticism ranging from personal email use to who her donors are; Sanders has come out firing. He wants to debate Ñ often, in red states and blue Ñ giving the race at least some semblance of one not entirely decided by money. Imagine that, a race that isnÕ t wholly driven by dollar signs. But even the senator knows thereÕ s only so much he can do against the grain. HeÕ s pulled off running as an independent in Vermont, but the picture changes nationally. There are symbolic campaigns and there are fighting campaigns. If there’s no beating a partyÉ The pitting of Sanders against Clinton gives voters a chance to decide whatÕ s most important. The Vermonter is, after all, the yin
to ClintonÕ s yang. Both have given indication that the economy and issues surrounding a stagnant middle class will be central in the dialogue to come. Foreign donor issues aside, the other main contributors to ClintonÕ s campaign Ñ Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Lehman Brothers, to name a few Ñ should raise eyebrows when she makes promises to fight for the middle class. Sanders, meanwhile, is running a campaign that’s largely financed by unions. And on top of that, the national trend of the rich getting richer at the expense of the rest of America has been something heÕ s rallied against for decades. That dividing line between the two will make the coming months nothing short of interesting. If domestic economic issues prove to be a major driver in the polls, will the blue folk around the country stick to what seems their best chance against the Republicans Ñ the Clinton brand Ñ or gamble on someone likelier to back up promises with action? In the end, our next president will be in office by way not only of votes, but the money it took to get him or her there. It leads one to wonder with whom loyalties will lie then. Since Sanders has put his name in the hat, heÕ s slowly crept up to the No. 2 spot behind Clinton, though the gap between the two, about 50 points, remains substantial. But with the general election now less than 18 months away, and primaries and caucuses to kick off in February of next year, the scrutiny and attention will only grow. The reality is that come time to cast a presidential ballot, party affiliation will decide for whom most votes are placed, and thatÕ s exactly why now is a pivotal time in which we decide which two we’ll send to the finals. Will it be Clinton? A safe bet, perhaps. But SandersÕ presence as a viable alternative is good for the process. We as citizens need all the opportunity we can get to flex our collective muscles politically, especially in a day and age when the few and powerful have substantial sway in our nationÕ s capital. Which candidate to get the nod will be up in the air for sometime, but if it is to be Clinton, she better have earned it. And who better to highlight the major issues than Sanders, in many ways the frontrunnerÕ s opposite. Sanders may not have your vote, but he should have your attention.

Have fun without drinking and driving
To the Editor: Summer is approaching and we are headed into the busy tourist season, many people visit Hamilton County to vacation and relax. As District Attorney it is my goal that tourists and residents alike stay safe during this busy period. On the highways, in particular, safety is a compelling concern. On Nov. 18, 2009, New York State adopted LeandraÕ s Law. It is named after 11-year-old Leandra Rosado, who was killed in a crash while a passenger in a car driven by a drunken driver. With a passage of the law, New York mandated installation of an ignition interlock device for all misdemeanor and felony drunk driving convictions. A person who has an interlock ignition on their vehicle must blow into the device to prove that they have not consumed alcohol. If the device detects alcohol, the vehicle will not operate. It also created a new felony charge for a DWI offender with a child passenger 15 years old or younger in the car. These changes in the law will help, but the hazard of drunk driving still remains high. Drinking and driving is a serious offense with serious consequences to the offender. Not only do offenders risk themselves, they also rick their passengers and anyone else who happens to be in their path. I encourage all to have a fun-filled summer. But keep it safe. Don’t drink and drive. And, if you get the opportunity to be a designated
driver, be sure to take it.

Senators stop the haters To the Editor: I call on you to reject all rent control bills and legislation. These are just further examples of democracy hating NYC scum. They just interfere and deny property owners their rights to charge a nominal fee that allows them to make a profit and maintain the property they own. Absolutely NO state taxpayer funds should be used for this purpose. These people have shown their hatred of private property owners, firearm owners, and our Bill of Rights in every action they have put before the legislature in Albany. It is time to tell them NO, and send them back to their sewer! It is time for you to stand resolved to oppose every bill originating from this sewer and these Bill of Rights haters! 52 counties demand an end to their dictatorship! 52 Counties demand the total repeal of CuomoÕ s UNSAFE ACT of 2013! 52 Counties demand an equal voice in all state legislation! No rent control or other anti-Bill of Rights legislation! Total, immediate repeal of CuomoÕ s UNSAFE ACT of 2013! Don Sage Schroon Lake
Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden
One Hundred Years Ago – June, 1915 “Dusky Nomads” from Scotland
A gypsy band, consisting of a man named OÕ Neil, his sister and her three small children, together with six horses and other paraphernalia, came to Warrensburgh on Friday, June 4, 1915 and pitched tent in the pine woods on the banks of the Hudson. OÕ Neil, in an intoxicated condition, deserted the woman Sunday night, the latter turning herself and children over to town authorities, who secured lodging for them at the Agricultural (Note - now AsheÕ s) Hotel. Following these proceedings, Sheriff R.J. Bolton was called and seized the six horses to satisfy claims against the band, held by James Goodman, for pasturing and stabling the animals, and to pay for the womanÕ s lodgings. Monday night, OÕ Neil returned, promptly sold one of the horses to Liveryman Pasco, paid all bills and together with his tribe, moved out of town. The dusky nomads are natives of Scotland, coming to this country about six months ago. The womanÕ s husband is said to have deserted her about six weeks ago near New York City.
Stars to descend on Lake George
A prominent feature of the coming summer season at Lake George will be an elaborate camp at Basin Bay, on the Peola property where thirty to forty actors and actresses will be entertained during August by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick E. Wadsworth, of Detroit, Michigan. Mrs. Wadsworth was formerly Miss Mary Mannering, the celebrated Broadway star and as the former wife of James K. Hackett, frequently visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Burhans, of Warrensburgh. Mr. Wadsworth is the largest manufacturer of steel boats and canoes in the world, also manufacturing all tops for Ford cars. Elaborate preparations are under way to make the month of camp life one of unalloyed pleasure for the theatrical stars who will be invited. Two carloads of canoes, launches, fishing boats and other camping paraphernalia will be shipped to the site. The camp will be made up of twenty sleeping tents, a large dining tent and an afternoon tea tent. A dance pavilion for the sole use of the guests will be built. The theatrical people for whom this camp is being prepared are all of them playing with the leading troops in AmericaÕ s largest cities and will prove a big asset to the summer colonists on beautiful Lake George. Real Estate Agent Scott B. Smith, of Warrensburgh, was in charge of securing this desirable colony for the Adirondack section of the state and he will supply the tents, food and all other camping necessities in this, the biggest camping deal of the season. (Note Ð Would it not be a great idea for some ambitious entrepreneur to take heed of this little story and in 2015 bring together all the TV soap opera stars that are so loved and well known by all the local stay at home house wives.)
Henry Ford on the wrong track
Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, has launched a campaign against cigarettes and has enlisted the aid of his colleague, Thomas A. Edison. Their aim is to prohibit the manufacturer and sale of cigarettes. Some other chap, looking around for something to reform will perhaps discover the frightful things for which the automobile, for instance, is directly to blame. Astonished by his discoveries, he will set about to organize the Anti-Automobile Association. Thousands will flock to elect the man to the legislature and the man will introduce a bill to prohibit the manufacture, sale and use of the automobile. (Note Ð This was indeed a nice thought but I believe that it is safe to say that cars and cigarettes, which kill multiple people all over the world every day, are here to stay.)
Cooper’s Cave receives plaque
In a few days near the end of June, 1915, the bronze railing for the spiral stairway leading down to CooperÕ s Cave, on the Hudson River Bridge near South Glens Falls, will be placed in position as well as a bronze tablet at the head of the stairway calling attention to the historic spot made famous by James Fenimore Cooper in his Ò Last of the Mohicans.Ó
Looking around at summer, 1915
Jack Frost nipped some of our gardens pretty hard, May 27, 1915, the last of the month. Most of the local women are busy doing spring house cleaning. Chicken and bullet headed hawks, unmindful of the presence of man, are taking small chickens and animals from our village house lawns. Young pheasants, hatched this spring, under hens, are found in large numbers in the vicinity of Elizabethtown. The Conservation Commission is making every effort to restock the Adirondack region with plenty of game.
Many of our residents are busily engaged waging war on the caterpillar pest, which is making itself more than conspicuous this year. Bands of cotton and fly paper are proving effective in preventing the caterpillars from getting into foliage not already infected. A considerable amount of spraying is also being done to save the beauty of our grand old trees.
Wedding bells
A Rebekah wedding, under the auspices of Wisteria Lodge, of Johnsburgh, took place at Wevertown in the new Odd Fellows Hall there. Miss Tressa Richards, daughter of Robert Richards, of Johnsburgh, became the bride of Halsey McCormick, of Harkness. Miss Ethel Hack and Irving Richards were the attendants. About two hundred friends and relatives attended the happy event.
Counting heads
Milon U. Brown and Carroll E. Harrington, census enumerators, have begun counting the inhabitants of Warrensburgh and they have been making rapid progress. Thus far they have counted approximately 2,300 inhabitants in Warrensburgh which shows a considerable decrease since the federal census of 1910 when the figure was 2,385.
Emerson receives new accolade
Senator James A. Emerson, of Warrensburgh, was elected a director of the newly organized Lake Placid National Bank at a meeting held at Lake Placid the third week of June, 1915. The new institution is organized with a capital of $25,000. (Note Ð To read more about Senator Emerson, see this column in the June 13, 2015Adirondack Journal He died in 1922 at Long Island College Hospital after a long illness.)
Excitement on the highway
Carl BrownÕ s team ran away Friday, May 28, 1915 and stirred considerable excitement along the highway between his place near the Vowers schoolhouse and the residence of Edward Jones, where they were stopped by Mr. Jones. One of the headstalls broke while the team was working on Mr. BrownÕ s farm and both horses started on a run. Very little damage was done.
Aged lady dies
Mrs. Sally M. Hazelton, 82, died Thursday evening, June 3, 1915, at the Glens Falls Home for Aged Women. She is survived by a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett and two brothers, Andrew and Orley Hazelton, all of Warrensburgh. Burial was in the Warrensburgh Cemetery.
Sweet and sour notes
A little son of Ben Robbins, of Sodom, died of whooping cough and pneumonia. He was two years old and the only son left as three others had been taken from them by death. Harry Richards, of Bakers Mills, who has been camping for the month of June, 1915, at Siamese Ponds, reports that fishing is very poor on account of the cold weather. Dickinson and Bertrand have further catered to the demands of their customers by transforming their optical room in their drug store into a cozy ice cream parlor screened from the gaze of the public. Jacob Kletzky, of Albany, has rented John W. Wills store on Hudson Street formerly occupied by Haskell Brothers and will open, on July 1, 1915, an up-to-date store there. (Note Ð This stone building is next door north of the Merrill Magee House.) In Lake George, a son was born to Mrs. Charles George. Mrs. Fred Thatches gave birth to a baby girl. In Bakers Mills, a daughter was born June 9, 1915 to Mrs. Nathan Russell. Miss Bertha Lavery is driving about town in her new Saxon runabout automobile. The Troy Conference Academy in Poultney, Vermont is her Alma Mater. Lewis Ellis Lavine, Herbert Earl Ross and Maurice James OÕ Conner, all of Warrensburgh, graduated June 16, 1915 at the Rensselaer Polytectnic Institute, in Troy. Merton and Avis Phelps Roblee, have a three year old son, Donald P. Roblee, born June 3, 1912 in North Creek. (Note Ð Donald Roblee, 101, of Ashe Drive, Warrensburgh, died Nov. 25, 2013 in North Creek. Harold Moses Brown, 13, is the son of Harry M. and Edith Wright Brown, former residents of Warrensburgh who are now living in Castleton, Vermont. Harold was born May 26, 1902. (Note Ð Harold Moses Brown, 62, died June 20, 1965. He served two terms to the Vermont House of Representatives and four terms as a Rutland, Vermont county senator. He was a businessman and Vermont state legislator for twelve years.) The Warrensburgh Cadets, numbering forty, in full camping uniforms with rifles and kit on their shoulders, started Monday morning, June 12, 1915 for LockwoodÕ s Point on the Hudson River where they will spend a week under canvas as has been their custom for several years. They are under the supervision of Rev. Guy H. Purdy. Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210
Show the love: Tie a blue ribbon round the ole oak tree!
I
Õ m not very smart and have few original ideas. Others keep me well supplied and I sometimes pass them on. Once becoming a full time area resident, I soon discovered there is something special about this spot on GodÕ s good earth. I donÕ t need to mention the lake, the mountains, the rivers and all the local flora and fauna. They are a given when you visit or reside here. However, there are many additional by Gordie Little ingredients that constitute what we call our Ò quality of life.Ó We touted them in the Ô 90s when we tried desperately to save the Air Force base. I am grateful for this space to talk about other things that we sometimes take for granted. IÕ m old, so nostalgia is a way of life. When I began a long radio career, I swept into town with an ego that made me present myself (as my mother used to tell me) as far too big for my britches. People began to call and told me to Ò get down off your high horseÓ (another of my motherÕ s phrases) and join them at ground level. They said it so lovingly that I immediately began to develop a new persona that embraced something my preacher dad had tried in vain to instill in me: humility. I realized that my perceived importance was nil and I should look for goodness in others. Toward that end, I decided to call myself Ò Gordie Little, WhoÕ s He?Ó on the air and explained that I didnÕ t matter nearly as much as those who were listening. The faucet of North Country love was thus opened full force. We ran successful street drives raising tens of thousands for worthy causes. We embraced individuals and organizations that were dedicated to helping others. Any time a need was pointed out, it was fulfilled. It happened, not just once, but over and over. It was always amazing and wonderful for me. When we asked for contributions, businesses and individuals and organizations responded quickly. Small children emptied their piggy banks and brought their pennies to us. I often shed tears of joy. What a marvelous place to live. IÕ m writing this on my 78th birthday and IÕ m still feeling the loveÑ not for me, but for those helping in the search for two escaped killers. Joining our beloved corrections officers from here and all over the state are New York State Troopers, Homeland Security, FBI and more. We began wishing there was some way we could let all these people know how much we appreciated their dedication. Some searchers remained in the thick woods and swamps for 36 hours without sleep. Others manned roadblocks in searing heat and torrential rains. I listened and watched the love coming back to them as people began delivering food and drinks and other amenities to them directly where they were working. Businesses sent everything from toiletries to pizzas and michigans with and without onions. Rooms were donated, warm socks and other items were forthcoming. But, what could we do collectively as a show of our gratitude? Facebook follower Dawn Laundry had an idea: ribbons. We could put ribbons on our homes and fences and cars. It was reminiscent of the yellow ribbons in the Viet Nam era when we sang with Tony Orland and Dawn in a song called Ò Tie a Yellow Ribbon Ô Round the Old Oak Tree.Ó This time, blue was the color of choice because of blue uniforms on many of those involved. We were pleased to take the idea and run with it. Soon, the stores were busy selling ribbon; people were cutting up old blue clothing and making bows of their blue neckties. To say that I was personally moved by this outpouring of love, would be an understatement. It was and is awesome and wonderful. We all hope and pray that by the time you read this that the search is over; but in case it is not, we urge you to make your own blue bows and put them out where our heroes can see them. Thank you in advance for making this region an outstanding place to live and work and visit and LOVE.

Joyce Mitchell has her day in court after arrest for aiding cons By Pete DeMola
pete@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Joyce Mitchell and others may face additional charges as the investigation into last weekÕ s prison escape continues, said Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie. Ò ItÕ s possible based on the information we continue to receive,Ó Wylie told reporters following MitchellÕ s preliminary hearing on Monday, June 15, at the Plattsburgh City Court. Mitchell is now represented by Stephen Johnston, a Plattsburgh-based criminal defense attorney, after her court-appointed attorney, Keith Bruno, recused himself over the case due to an unspecified conflict. Mitchell, wearing a black-and-white prison uniform and what appeared to be a bulletproof vest, was shackled at her ankles and waist and wore orange crocs. Appearing downcast, Mitchell said Ò yesÓ in a soft voice when Judge Mark Rogers asked if she understood the proceedings. She was charged Friday with first-degree promoting prison contraband, a felony, and fourthdegree criminal facilitation, a misdemeanor. According to the criminal complaint, Mitchell provided the inmates with hacksaw blades, chisels, a punch and a screwdriver bit. Her case was moved to the Clinton County Court, with the next court appearance yet-to-be determined. MitchellÕ s bail was held at $100,000 cash or $200,000 bond on the felony and $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond on the misdemeanor. She remains in custody and was remanded to the Clinton County Jail. MitchellÕ s son and husband didnÕ t appear in the courtroom. However, Lyle Mitchell did visit his wife in prison the following day, June 16, according to the Clinton County SheriffÕ s Department. Johnston declined to discuss the case with reporters, citing he needs more time to be brought up to speed. Wylie preemptively declined to discuss specifics on allegations that Mitchell may have conspired with Richard Matt and David Sweat to inflict “physical acts of harm” to Lyle. Wylie said heÕ s been advised that the hunt,

using some 800 law enforcement officials, is costing the state up to $1 million per day. But the governor’s office hasn’t confirmed that number, he added. Gov. Cuomo said the stateÕ s investigator general, Catherine Leahy Scott, has initiated an investigation to determine all factors involved in the breakout. Ó Capturing these killers and returning them to state custody remains our top priority,Ó said Cuomo in a news release. Ò However, itÕ s critically important to examine the circumstances that enabled these inmates to escape in the first place.Ó Wylie said his office will be in touch with the governor’s office to cooperate. Ò We will be involved as much as they involve
us,Ó said Wylie. Mitchell has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, she faces up to seven years in prison. Saranac Central School, whose main lines of transportation are located within the search area, reopened this morning but cancelled all outdoor activities and beefed up security.
The arrest
State police arrested Mitchell, a prison laundry worker, on Friday, June 12, in connection with last weekÕ s escape that has authorities continuing to search for a pair of murderers. Mitchell, of Dickinson Center, was charged with promoting prison contraband first degree, a felony, and criminal facilitation fourth degree, a misdemeanor.
Major Charles Guess said Mitchell, 51, provided Ò material supportÓ to the inmates. Authorities also declined to comment on to the extent that the information Mitchell provided about the escapees has steered the investigation towards their capture, or if she had corresponded with either of them. But, said Guess, the interviews had been Ò fruitful and productive.Ó Mitchell has been under scrutiny since her name initially surfaced on Monday in connection with the breakout. Weather conditions have posed a challenge, Guess admitted. Ò It does hamper the investigation, but it also aids the investigation because the escapees have to deal with the same weather,Ó said Guess. Ò ItÕ s day six and if they have not escaped the area, or have not availed themselves of shelter, you have to assume theyÕ re cold, wet, tired and hungry.Ó This might make them more dangerous and desperate, he said, urging the public to remain vigilant. Portions of Routes 374 will remain closed until the search has been completed to authoritiesÕ satisfaction, said Guess. Authorities continued to conduct vehicle inspections on Friday, peering into trunks and backseats under intermittent sheets of rain. As of now, there is no conclusive evidence that the convicts have left the area, said officials. Authorities also admitted that they were unsure of the exact timeline following the discovery that the inmates had escaped from their cells sometime after their final bed count last Friday at 11:30 p.m. Since their escape, tips have placed Matt and Sweat at a nearby gas station; in Willsboro, some 40 miles south, and a backyard in Cadyville, the site of the continued operation. There have been no confirmed sightings, said Guess. Ò We know they exited the manhole cover, we pretty sure they didnÕ t go back into the correctional facility, so weÕ re taking it for granted that theyÕ re outside the walls,Ó he said. Guess said the message to the convicts was simple: Ò WeÕ re coming for you and we will not stop until you are caught.Ó
Ongoing search sparks skittishness, but also bright spots of humanity By Pete DeMola
pete@denpubs.com CADYVILLE Ñ A door opened and a man cautiously stepped out onto his front stoop. Across Route 3, a state trooper gazed into the brush and watched for movement, a rifle slung across his back. There were many more like the officer dotted along the rural route, stationed at regular intervals as sumac, scrub and swampland acted as the gateway to a search perimeter, roughly five square miles, where authorities continued to search for a pair of escaped convicts on Friday. Escapes are nothing new said the man, Charlie Fink, who motioned to a nearby field that he said was once a prison farm where trustees would often get away. Ò After a little manhunt, theyÕ d catch them,Ó he said. Fink adjusted his .44 magnum, slung low across his hips. Ò ItÕ s just to protect me and my wife,Ó he said, noting he had a concealed carry permit. Ò The prison is a normal thing around here.Ó Early Friday, law enforcement entered a state of high alert after a tip Ñ one of some 700 leads state police have received over the past week Ñ led to a swarm of activity around Cringle Road, just a straight shot west from FinkÕ s home. Fink said he hadnÕ t seen anything suspicious, only Ò a lot of wellbehaved law enforcement.Ó A new normal has settled over this stretch of suburbia just south of Clinton Correctional Facility, where roadblocks remained on Saturday and the sight of black-clad correctional officers moving in precise, military-type formations has become almost commonplace. All say they want a quick end to the hunt, which has now entered its second week. A car slowed and a man with a long beard stuck his head out: Ò Catch anyone yet?Ó A reporter shook his head and the truck continued northwest toward Dannemora. Robin Downey sat on her porch, surrounded by the chatter of several small children. Just yards away, lights flashed in the falling mist as troopers in orange raincoats stopped vehicles, their firearms pointing skyward. Downey, a day care provider whose husband works as a correctional officer, said she wasn’t concerned about herself, but rather the children under her care. Ò ItÕ s been rough,Ó she said. Ò I donÕ t know if this will have a lasting effect on the kids.Ó Like others, Downey has been glued to media coverage of each development in the fast-moving case. ItÕ s one that has gripped the nation and brought scores of media outlets to the quiet community where top news is usually commu-
nity events like the Cadyville Field Day Ñ which was cancelled on Saturday, much to the disappointment of local residents Ñ than whispers of murderers skulking through the woods and mercurial rumors that seem to spread like wildfire, especially on social media. Downey said she has mixed feelings about the constant news coverage, especially when different television stations issue reports with conflicting information. Ò IÕ ve heard so many different things,Ó said Downey. Ò You end up having to weed some of it out, or not even listening to any of it.Ó Nearby, the clouds opened up over a garage sale. The proprietors sat in lawn chairs watching their neighbors peruse items, neatly folded t-shirts and paperback books, shrouded in plastic. Ò The sale must go on,Ó laughed Marty Bedard. Ò We had to clear out my basement.Ó Ò Why live in fear?Ó asked his mother, Pat. But, she admitted, she did give a pair of reporters a cautious glance as they walked up the driveway. Saranac Central remained closed for the second consecutive day on Friday, a measure that irritated Tina, MartyÕ s daughter, who said she now had to take all five of her Regents exams on Monday — if the district will reopen, that is. State police said on Friday that the search will continue until every lead is exhausted. Ò We do not have any conclusive evidence that either of the inmates have left this area,Ó said Charles Guess, the state police major who is spearheading the investigation, at a news conference in the cafeteria of TinaÕ s school late Friday. Despite the tension, bright spots have surfaced in the community. Twinstate Technologies, a cybersecurity firm located near where media have been stationed since early Thursday at the intersection of Route 374 and Rand Hill Road, have allowed their restrooms to be used. They also have spearheaded the collection of food from local business owners, distributing items to law enforcement officials and the news media, for whom they have set up a tent and table with only one requirement: Ò Please remember weÕ re northern New York Ñ not upstate,Ó read a print-out affixed to the table. Dawn Currier Juneau said the effort started when she and her colleagues brought a cooler of drinks to the troopers. Ò TheyÕ ve been here all the time and canÕ t go anywhere,Ó she said. Ò We thought we could share what we had.Ó A few phone calls later led to more local businesses coming forward, including the Pizza Palace in nearby Plattsburgh. While owner Scott Wright instructed his staffers to do whatever they could to help the troopers, he wished he could do more. Ò IÕ d like to be in woods helping them,Ó he said. Ò Enough is enough.Ó
“Prison’s a normal thing around here,” said Charlie Fink, whose Cadyville home is located adjacent to the search area along Route 3 where authorities continue to hunt for the pair of escaped convicts who escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility last week. Photo by Pete DeMola

Russell recalled fondly by family, friends Staff Report
denpubs@denpubs.com THURMAN Ñ Evelyn Ò EvieÓ Russell, a long-time local resident and newswriter in the area, passed away this week Ñ and friends and associates shared their thoughts about the woman who dedicated 27 years of her life to relaying local news to her neighbors. Russell, 79, of Garnet Lake Road in Thurman, died Saturday, June 13, at Tri-County Nursing Home in North Creek after a long illness. From 1985 to 2012, Russell served as the Thurman correspondent for the Adirondack Journal and its predecessor the Warrensburg-Lake George News. She also worked as a housekeeper at various resorts in Lake George. John Gereau, Managing Editor of Denton Publications, reflected on RussellÕ s lengthy tenure as news correspondent. Ò EvelynÕ s service to the Thurman community was remarkable Ñ enduring for over a quarter century. We at Denton Publications deeply appreciate her 30 years of work keeping local people well informed,Ó he said. Ò Her weekly news column Ñ as well as her recollections of bygone days Ñ had a tremendous following.Ó Thom Randall, founder of the Adirondack Journal and now contributing feature writer for the newsweekly, also offered his thoughts. He served as editor of the two newspapers throughout RussellÕ s tenure. Ò Evie was truly dedicated to informing her Thurman neighbors,Ó he said, recalling how each week she hand-wrote 10 to 15 pages of her column on notebook filler paper rather than using a typewriter or computer. Ò I miss her sharp wit, rural wisdom and observations about life in the North Country,Ó he said, noting Russell was straightforward and candid in offering her observations. RussellÕ s cousin Ruth Wadsworth also offered her thoughts

this week. Wadsworth shared many hours of her childhood with Evelyn, growing up on a property in Thurman adjoining the plot belonging to Roy Russell, EvieÕ s father, who built many houses now standing in Thurman. Ò Evie had a great sense of humor Ñ she was a lot of fun,Ó Wadsworth said. Bonnie Monroe, Evelyn RussellÕ s eldest daughter, also offered her memoEvelyn Russell ries this week. She talked about how Russell enjoyed her work as a news correspondent. Ò My mom loved to ride around Thurman in our car, so she could see whoÕ s building a house, whoÕ s planting a garden, so she could write about it,Ó Monroe said. Ò She really enjoyed stopping and visiting with people along the way.Ó Evelyn Russell was born Aug. 10, 1935 in Thurman. In her early adult years, she lived in Esperance, Scotia and Schenectady, but she returned to Thurman in 1979, living in a home that was decades earlier the town’s post office, general store and gas station. Her uncle, Lynnwood Westcott, had been the postmaster, and he and his wife Alma had lived in the building years beforehand. Calling hours for Evelyn Russell will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, June 18, at Thurman Baptist Church on South Johnsburg Rd. A funeral service will follow at noon at the church with the Rev. Nathan Herrmann, pastor, officiating. For additional details, see the obituary published on page 9.

level of service to riders,Ó Sopczyk said. According to Anand, however, SopczykÕ s proposal represents an inconvenience for Lotus riders which diminishes his vision of a smooth and inexpensive link between the two areas. Ò This proposal doesnÕ t serve our riders economically or as far as time-efficiency, but rather would have them spending more money and waiting longer to get where they need to be,Ó he said. Ò Many people would rather pay the high rate of taking a cab for the convenience rather than take one bus only to wait around for another.Ó

would be called, and re-introduce a service that has been lacking in the town for decades. ROADBLOCK When Lotus officials submitted their application to the Department of Transportation (DOT) for approval, however, it was protested by Greater Glens Falls Transit (GGFT), whose officials expressed concern that Lotus Link would cut into their profits and poach their ridership. GGFT is a municipally-owned public transport service established in 1983 which offers a fixed-route bus service along Route 9 between Glens Falls and Lake George which does not extend to Warrensburg. This protest came as a shock to the Lotus team, as, according to Anand in an open letter to the community, GGFT Transportation Director Scott Sopczyk had visited the Lotus office earlier that month to discuss the proposed enterprise, during which no objections were made. In his letter to the DOT, however, Sopczyk wrote Ò I have concerns that elements proposed by the Lotus service duplicates GGFTÕ s established transit operations in that corridor, which have operated for almost 30 years...U.S. Route 9 south of Lake George Village is already well served by public transit and there is capacity on that GGFT service to accommodate growth. There is not a need or warrant to support additional public transport services there.Ó This Ò core routeÓ accounts for roughly 46 per cent of rides in the GGFTÕ s 12 plus route system, and is crucial to the economic viability of their entire operation, he said.

In other business conducted June 15, the Lake George Village Board: • awarded a bid to install a sound system for its public meeting room on the lower level of the village hall; • set a public hearing for 6 p.m. Monday, July 20, to consider new regulations regarding indebtedness of septic haulers disposing waste at the village sewer plant; • approved closing Beach Road during the active hours of the
CALL TO ACTION
Ash Anand, owner of various enterprises based in Warrensburg, described his bus service proposal at a recent town board meeting. The concept was warmly received by the audience, whose members talked about how it would offer convenience and independence for area residents without automobiles, as well as saving families the expense of owning several vehicles. Photo by Thom Randall
MEETING HALFWAY Like the GGFT route, SopczykÕ s concerns do not extend to Warrensburg, however, and he said he supports LotusÕ proposal to transport citizens from Warrensburg to Lake George. From there, GGFT buses and trolleys would pick them up and continue their transport to Queensbury and beyond. “Such connections could be very efficient and offer a good Summerfest Craft Show, set for Friday, June 26, through Sunday, June 2. The event is to feature 100 artisans set up along the roadway. The hours are Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday; • rejected a request by Pizza Jerks to sell pizzas out of circulating pedicabs Ñ bicycle-powered rickshaws the eatery obtained from the now-defunct Adirondack Pedicab Co. Ñ The boardÕ s decision was based on villageÕ s zoning ordinances which prohibit itinerant vending except in conjunction with special events; • heard that the village code enforcement officer issued three tickets to local homeowners violating the villageÕ s short-term rental ban during the Americade rally week; • endorsed a special event application by the Antique & Classic Boat Society for the Lake George Rendezvous to be held on August 22 at the village docks;
In response to the protest, Anand has called for a change in the GGFT service, formally requesting that they extend their route 10 miles to reach Warrensburg so area residents may benefit from their services. His interest, he said, is not in the profitability of the enterprise, but rather in providing a currently unavailable but necessary service that may improve the quality of residentsÕ lives. Ò GGFT is a publicly funded enterprise who receives approximately $1.8 in support,Ó he said. Ò From the beginning, Lotus Transportation Services Inc. announced that it would be a privately funded, owned, and operated service. To be frank, our company would be lucky to break even on this venture as it is most definitely not going to generate a profit.” If need be, Anand said he is prepared to start a petition to demonstrate the need of such a service in the Warrensburg area. “I will work with the citizens of our town and fight as much as I can to either provide what I promised, or find a way to have existing services cover our area,Ó Anand said. Ò All I ask for is your support to make this a reality for Warrensburg.Ó
• accepted a resignation from Keith Hendry from his post as village Peace Officer; • delayed introducing a proposed local law restricting homeowners and business proprietors from placing temporary storage units or pods on their property for more than 90 days in any calendar year Ñ and specifying where they may be place on properties; • approved a proposal for WCKM radio’s proposal to broadcast live weekly this summer from Shepard Park during the village’s “Fridays at the Lake” concert series; and • issued a call for nominations from the public for the village’s annual beautification awards. The next meeting of the Lake George Village Board is to be held at 6 p.m. Monday July 20; a week later than normal.

Fly fishing competition lands in Placid
O
nce again the USA Fly Fishing Competition came to Lake Placid. Some of the top fly fishing guys from around the country, gathered to test their skills and try their luck on the West Branch of the Ausable and Mirror Lake. This year the Saranac River was added to the repertoire, to form a triad of fishing waters with shorelines, pockets, riffles, runs and pools to fish. Both the calm waters of the lake By Rich Redman and the fast boulder waters of the Saranac and Ausable made for a real challenge. This was the second year of this event and some of the guys I met last year came back to try once again. Sean Crocker, a PhysicianÕ s Assistant, (P.A.) from the Philadelphia area and, Andy Szofran, from Montana, were both back for another try, along with some new faces like Josh Miller from the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area. Some of the controllers from last year were there, along with some newbiesÕ . The volunteer controllerÕ s job is to measure the fish, record the catch time, plus, we keep the fishermen within the confines of the designated beat and make sure all the rules of the competition are followed. The first day out I teamed up with fellow controller, Ellen Jenson, for Ken Crane, the organizer of the event. He fished a West Branch Ausable beat, 100 meters long, for a 3 hour period. It wasn’t long before he had his first Brown Trout, a nice 27 centimeter Brown caught at 8:03, three minutes into the action. His last fish was taken at 10:59, a 30 cm Brown, caught on a nymph. Ken caught 15 fish that first 3 hour period. After lunch, I worked with the P.A., Sean Crocker, who had his own prescription for getting fish. Sean worked his way through the boulders and runs like a professional. He had his surgical skills out as he sliced his way through the pocket water in search of trout! His prescription for the day was size 16 and 18 bead head nymphs called Ò FrenchiesÓ along with a 3 weight 10 foot fly rod and 18 feet of leader. That was the medicine Sean used to tempt the trout. The second morning I worked the main stem of the Saranac River, just up from the junction of the North Branch. The rain
Conservation
Conversations
The original anglers N
early 5,000 years ago, a pair of ancient anglers waded out into the frigid waters of the Baltic Sea. Whether they were seeking fish for food or simple recreation has never been determined. However their footprints were recorded in the shifting seabed with every step they took. Evidence of their long-lost prehistoric fishing trip was recently discovered along with their Stone Age fishing gear in a dried up fjord, on the island of Lolland in Denmark. Archaeologists uncovered their footprints alongside evidence of a fishing weir, an angling tool that dates back to around 3,000 B.C. However, they weren’t the first. Anglers were fishing elsewhere, centuries before those hapless anglers took to the Baltic Sea. Most recently, a field team of archeologists discovered evidence of ancient anglers in East Timor when they uncovered bone fishing hooks that were carbon dated to about 42,000 years ago. The East Timor discovery has since been confirmed as the earliest definitive evidence of fishing equipment in the world. Although angling is still pursued primarily for consumptive purposes, it remains a popular recreational activity as well. Following the development of recreational angling with rod and reel, angling actually morphed into a competitive activity. Eventually, it led to the creation of the Professional Bass Anglers Society and the Pro Bass Circuit, which spawned a billion dollar competitive bass fishing industry. Bass angling competitions have now trickled down to both the High School level, with Varsity Bass Fishing Teams, as well as Division 1, College level Bass Fishing teams that regularly provide angler athletes with full scholarship opportunities, in addition to their professional earnings, which may run into the $100,000 range or better. Since college bass fishing teams compete under rules established by the BASS Federation, there are none of the restrictions common to NCAA amateur status. If a student angler lands the largest total bag of bass in a tournament, they go back to campus with the cash, just like a pro. Despite the myriad changes that have occurred since anglers first took to the water in pursuit of fish more than 42,000 years ago, angling remains essentially unchanged. It still involves a human attempting to deceive a fish into biting whatever he or she has on the end of their fishing line. I also believe very little has changed in the way anglers describe the size of their catch. Next to golfers, anglers are quite likely the most notorious, rec-
overnight made things a challenge, white water, frothy foam covered boulders and deep cuts made wading risky business. I started out with Sean once again, this time to see how his style would change due to the rising waters and being on a different river. As a controller, we are always on the stream edge, ready to measure a fish when caught. The shore line of the Saranac and Ausable are two different monsters. The Ausable beats have a more pronounced and flat floodplain, which means that working the shoreline to measure fish and do our job, is much easier. The Saranac shoreline had old mining slag, shot rock and steep banks to work, along with fallen trees and other obstacles to maneuver around. It made the controller work a challenge in itself. The last beat of the day was with Josh Miller, who works for Forest and Stream, a Pittsburgh PA sporting goods store. They help sponsor Josh who is an up and coming fishing star! This young lad of 26 years is about 5 foot 6 and weighs about 120 pounds soaking wet. To see him maneuver through the rough waters was something. He was up and over sunken rock and around granite boulders like a fish himself. He would climb up on knobs of boulders, and fish from them in rushing water, de-

It was a slow start, and Josh was getting nervous when he would see a competitor netting a fish in the beat below him, but he persevered. At the end of his allotted time, he had 25 fish on record for the 3 hour period. He gave me a handful of nymphs he used, and one in particular was his favorite, but I had to swear allegiance to him that I would not disclose the fly. It was and still is a secret I will keep. All fish are released and the rules call for barbless hooks so very little “hurtin”, is done to the fish. As a controller, I released many of the fish for the guys I worked with, so I know personally how gently they were handled so they would live another day. Over the two day period over 600 fish were caught and released by these guys who fished a Lake and Two Rivers. At the awards meeting after the event, first place went to Michael Bradley, second to Ken Crane, the guy I worked with the first morning and third place to Dzifa Glymin. The USA Fly Fishing Teams donated over $400 to Tom Conway of the Two Fly Shop for the FRAN BETTERS memorial, a bronze statue of our own Ausable River Fly Fishing patriarch. This competition is hosted by the Hungry Trout in Wilmington. Thank You Evan! Sponsors of the event include Umpqua, Loon, Simms, Sage, Titan, Clear Creek, Airflo and Rio fly fishing and sporting equipment.

reational liars on the planet. Although the affliction of exaggeration affects many sports, it often appears more pronounced in individual sporting events such as golf, angling and bicycling in the Tour de France. Currently, there are over 50 million active anglers in the United States and according to a study conducted by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation they aren’t all born liars; most learned that skill as they became more familiar with the sport. As it has for many years, fresh water fishing remains the most popular outdoor recreational activity in the US, with over 42 million honest participants. Surveys indicate regular outdoor recreation enthusiasts such as anglers; hikers and paddlers are more likely to have improved physical and mental health, and a greater appreciation of nature and the environment, than non-participants. This should come as no surprise, as we learn to value and protect the things we cherish. Outdoor activities such as fishing and boating also serve to promote family bonds and shared values. In fact, angling is recognized as the most common Ô gatewayÕ activity for introducing chldren to the outdoors. It also provides outstanding opportunities for families to share safe, exciting adventures that create family memories. Humans naturally develop strong bonds in the outdoors, as we are instinctively wired to protect each other due to our evolutionary tract as apex predators. While surveys indicate that it was a father, uncle or a significant male role model that was responsible for introducing nearly 95 percent of all currently active anglers to the sport; female anglers comprise the fastest growing demographic of this increasingly popular outdoor pursuit. From a professionalÕ s perspective, IÕ ve witnessed the growing interest among women who are seeking to learn how to fly-fish. Angling is not exclusively a male domain, as women are well represented among of the worldÕ s finest anglers. Angling is a lifelong recreational skill similar to hiking, paddling or biking, and it may be practiced anywhere there is water. It is an activity that requires patience, finesse, and concentration, combined with intelligence, keen observational skills, and the ability to put up with all sorts of weather conditions, insects and ever changing water conditions. While it is an activity that can be enjoyed individually, it is also an excellent cross-generational activity that can be enjoyed equally regardless of age, physical condition or ability level. Angling also provides a great gateway for introducing children into the outdoors. It also provides families with an outstanding opportunity to establish bonds and create shared memories that will last far longer than any store-bought gift. There is also irrefutable evidence that outdoor recreation leads to improved physical, social and mental health. Studies indicate children from recreationally active families grow up to be more satisfied with their lives, families, friends, and careers. Sharing outdoor activities provides plenty of opportunities for conversations that can help to bridge the generation gap. Whether young,
old, or somewhere in-between, there is no doubt we are all equal before the fish. In recent surveys, nearly 95 percent of respondents reported it was their father, uncle or a significant, male role model that was the person responsible for introducing them to the sport of fishing. It is a gift that just keeps on giving, as anglers tend to breed anglers. It has been well established that forest and outdoor settings provide children and adults with a natural place to enjoy solitude and be free from distraction. It is a place where the only electronic device is a fishfinder, and a cell phones are only useful for taking a ‘selfie’ with a fish. In fact, it may also explain why the Opening Day of Bass Season traditionally coincides with Fathers Day, which arrives on Sunday, June 21. So get your rod, and borrow a kid if you need to, it’s about time to go fishing!
With a diploma and an Ugly Stick
A list of the top college bass angling teams in the country includes Bethel University, Daytona State College, UNC Charlotte. New Mexico State University, Auburn University, Georgetown College, Eastern Kentucky University, Kansas State University, and Tarleton State. There are over 300 college bass teams currently competing all across the country, including a team from Plattsburgh State University. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.
Bass are the perfect species for introducing novice anglers to the sport. They are easy to catch and provide beginners with an entertaining, and acrobatic battle. Above, a young anglers shows off a few healthy bass that were later released to fight another day.
