OLD FORGE „ The Gibson Brothers are maintaining worldclass caliber performances this spring while promoting their newest album thanks to a succession of professional guests on the mandolin. In mid-April, mandolin player Joe Walsh announced he was parting ways with Ellenburg Depot natives Eric and Leigh Gibson after being with the band for more than four years. It came at a challenging time, as the Gibson Brothers began the busy festival season on the road without Walsh. They also began touring with a new CD, ñ They Called It Music,î recently released by Compass Records. Then thereÍ s the added pressure of being the 2012 IBMA Entertainers of the Year, an honor the brothers recognize but take in stride. As their song ñ They Called It Musicî topped Bluegrass TodayÍ s weekly chart for airplay on May 17, the Gibson Brothers were taking the stage at the Strand Theatre in Old Forge with guest mandolin player Jesse Cobb, formerly of the Infamous Stringdusters, who gave a ñ blisteringî performance, as Leigh

The specters of Plattsburgh By Shaun Kittle

They frequent downtown as the disembodied products of murder, and they still patrol the shaun@denpubs.com property of the old base as soldiers of a bygone, but not forgotten, era. PLATTSBURGH „ If you listen to Matt Boire, who is the sole tour guide for the Boire, Plattsburgh is full of ghosts. Greater Adirondack Ghost and Tour Company, loves to tell true stories about the regionÍ s rich history. The ghosts, he said, just go with the territory. ñ You canÍ t have one without the other,î Boire said. ñ Plattsburgh was founded in 1785. Anywhere you have that rich of a history, that depth of time, there always seems to be that other layer thatÍ s left behind.î Maybe heÍ s right. Plattsburgh, it turns out, does have a lot of history, and with it comes an eerie past. As Boire strolls through downtown with a tour group in tow, wearing a tall stove pipe hat and black, Abraham Lincoln suit, he gestures to buildings and street corners and tells tales of what life in Plattsburgh used to be like. ñ I can walk through these streets and visualize what it looked like 100 years ago,î MacIntosh • HONEYCRISP • Cortland Boire said. ñ I like to make that connection with people, and let them know what happened Mon. - Sun. 9-5 right where theyÍ re standing.î BoireÍ s delivery is witty and

engaging, even as he describes characters like Dr. Beaumont, the famed U.S. Army surgeon who became known as the ñ Father of Gastric Physiology.î But Beaumont, whom Beaumont Hall on the Plattsburgh State campus is named after, had a dark side. During ñ Dr. BeaumontÍ s Tour of Terror,î Boire stops at a plaque indicating the former site of Beaumont’s office, and explains in grim detail how the man performed the experiments that gave him so much knowledge on all things gastrointestinal. BeaumontÍ s test subject was a man who went to the doctor for help after being accidentally shot in the stomach. The hole produced by the bullet, called a fistula, provided the perfect window for Beaumont to observe how the human stomach works. BeaumontÍ s experiments led to his discovery that digestion is a chemical process, not a mechanical process as previously assumed, but it also led to years of grave discomfort for the fistulated test subject. Like many of BoireÍ s stories, the one about the Father of Gastric Physiology contains elements of tragedy, but the real tragedy, Boire said, is that hundreds of people walk by BeaumontÍ s plaque daily and few even realize itÍ s there. ñ ItÍ s always sad to me when I speak to someone and they donÍ t have any pride in their communityÍ s history,î Boire said. ñ Events that changed the course of American history happened right here, where we live, on these streets, where we drive every day. These stories can give them pride in their community that they might not have had before.î BoireÍ s interest in the past started with his own family, which has been in the region for eight generations. “My fifth great-grandfather fought in the Battle of Plattsburgh in 1814,î Boire said. ñ I can stand where he stood 200 years ago, when he looked down his musket at the British. I get a huge kick out of that, and when I tell people that, they get a kick out of it too. It makes history come alive.î After touring places like Gettysburg, Pa. and St. Augustine, Florida, Boire began to wonder why Plattsburgh didnÍ t have similar historybased tours.

So Boire put his affinity for history to work about three years ago when he decided to give ghost tours for Halloween. ñ When people hear ï ghosts,Í their ears perk up,î Boire said. ñ The ghost tour helps put an interesting and unique spin on these stories. It doesnÍ t have to be ï history force-feeding 101.Í î The tours were so successful that he soon began doing them from spring through fall. He now leads three different tours every weekend„ î Ghosts of the Old Post,î ñ Spectres and Soldiersî and ñ Dr. BeaumontÍ s Tour of Terror.î ñ Ghosts of the Old Postî encompasses the Plattsburgh Barracks and the Old Post Cemetery, ñ Spectres and Soldiersî covers the old Roman Catholic burial ground, and ñ Dr. BeaumontÍ s Tour of Terrorî begins in Trinity Park and travels through most of downtown Plattsburgh. More tours are always in the works, and existing tours are constantly being modified. For more information, or to reserve a spot on a tour, visit facebook.com/ GhostandTourCo?fref=ts.

Co-workers come together to help after cancer diagnosis katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH „ Friends and coworkers of a Chazy woman are coming together to help raise money to aid in her fight against cancer. A fundraiser will be held on June 8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Eye Care For The Adirondacks, 450 Margaret Street. Guests can drop off unwanted cans and recyclables, enter raffles for homemade basket packages, buy

baked goods from the bake sale, have their car washed and check out a yard sale put together to raise money for Eye Care employee Gail Reyell. Reyell, of Chazy, was diagnosed in April with Follicular Lymphoma Grade 3B, Stage III. ñG ail is a great person to work with and is always smiling, is always helpful and always willing to go out of her way to help anyone, always on the go, it was easy for us to decide to do something for her because she would do the same for any of us in a second,î said co-worker Samantha Farina. Reyell, an avid hiker and outdoors person, has had to put away her hiking boots as she fights against cancer. Farina along with her co-workers at Eye Care of the Adirondacks and friends of ReyellÍ s started the fundraiser ñ Coworkers Helping Coworkers Fight the Fightî t o be there for Reyell. ñI t all came together pretty fast, she found out at the end of April and we got started planning

this event shortly after,î said Farina. ñS he is always helping everyone she can and we have to do the same.î The group hopes to financially help Reyell by helping to pay for travel expenses to and from treatments in Vermont and Illinois. Farina said money will help pay for gas, ferry tickets, plane tickets as needed, time-off without pay when/if that becomes necessary, and the ever-mounting co-pays as Reyell undergoes aggressive treatment over the next several months. Farina wrote in a letter sent out to perspective helpers of the fundraiser that: ñW e are very hopeful that this fundraiser can serve to relieve some of Gail’s financial burden, and in the long run, alleviate much of the stress that comes with such concerns.î ñI tÍ s going to be a really fun day, weÍ re hop-

ing itÍ s a beautiful day but if it rains it wonÍ t put a damper on it, we have a garage there we can move it to,î said Farina. ñPeo ple just might not want to have their car washed in the rain.î Raffle items will include a variety of themed baskets made by one of the event volunteers and Farina said more items are being sought. ñW e have some time left but we are reaching out to businesses for donations, weÍ re hoping to have some outdoor furniture to raffle,” said Farina. If anyone would like to make give but cannot make the fundraiser can drop off or mail a donation to Sharron Harmon, 450 Margaret Street, 12901. For more information about the event go to the Facebook event page, Coworkers Helping Coworkers Fight the Fight.

Second terms and three strikes Crown Point sets Memorial Day example I

emorial Day will be observed throughout the North Country, but this weekend belongs to the community of Crown Point. For 145 years it has been marking the occasion, every year since the end of the Civil War, each year a little bigger and better. It may be the longest continuous Memorial Day event in the nation. ThatÍ s the way it should be since Crown Point men played a prominent role in the founding of the Memorial Day holiday. Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day began in the south after the Civil War. Inspired by the bravery displayed A colorguard marches in last year’s Crown Point Memorial Day pain the battle of Gettysburg, the rade. This year’s Memorial Day celebration will be held May 26 and 27. bloodiest fight in American hisPhoto by Nancy Frasier tory with nearly 55,000 causalities, southerners began to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers as a sign of respect and appreciation. The custom quickly spread to the north, where people were just as impressed with the gallantry shown at Gettysburg and throughout the Civil War. New York became the first state to officially recognize Memorial Day in 1873. Crown Point can and should take pride in its own contributions to freedom. Men from Crown Point were at Gettysburg„ a monument stands to their unit there. More than 100 men from Crown Point, an amazing number from a community of its size, formed Company H of the 5th New York Cavalry under the command of John Hammond (A monument to Hammond stands in Crown PointÍ s Forrestdale Cemetery.). The unit distinguished itself throughout the Civil War. Crown Point men also fought in Adirondack Regiment, 118th N.Y., seeing action in many of the Civil WarÍ s bloodiest battles. And those brave souls werenÍ t alone. Crown Point has contributed to each and every American conflict, sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice. This yearÍ s Memorial Day celebration will be held May 26 and 27. Crown Point’s festivities will include an ecumenical church service, a parade, fireworks, amusement rides, entertainment and vendors. But itÍ s important to note the community understands the significance of Memorial Day. Each year’s observance is built around the town’s traditional ñ solemn cemetery tour.î The tour includes stops at each of the communityÍ s cemeteries, where Boy Scouts present the colors, ñ Tapsî is played, the school chorus sings and a speaker notes the importance of the place and people buried there. The tour concludes at the Veterans Monument in the town park at noon. This year’s Memorial Day in Crown Point carries added significance. Crown Point is celebrating the 225th year of its founding. Congratulations to Crown Point for 225 years of history and for 145 years of reminding us of the true meaning of Memorial Day. „ Denton Editorial Board

DiNapoli: NY economy rebounding, financial stresses persist By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS „ While the stateÍ s economy is rebounding from the recent deep economic recession, the Adirondack region has continuing challenges, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli told area leaders Monday during a visit to Glens Falls. DiNapoli gave a speech and answered questions at a breakfast held May 19 at the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls. About 90 local politicians, entrepreneurs and economic development officials attended the event, hosted by the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce. New York State as a whole, he said, is gradually climbing back out of the recession, he said. ñ WeÍ re on the road to recovery „ but weÍ re not moving forward like gangbusters „ weÍ re not generating the kind of job growth weÍ d like to see.î DiNapoli noted the Glens Falls metropolitan region in March had an unemployment rate of 8.3 percent, equal to the stateÍ s level „ but unlike the entire state, the Glens Falls metro area has only recovered 25 percent of the jobs it lost during the recession. The state had a net increase of 350,000 jobs over the past three years, he said. While job growth has been relatively strong overall in the state, itÍ s been primarily with businesses and industry, and not in government or schools, which have experienced substantial downsizing, he said. Region faces special problems Despite the statewide economic rebound, a variety of issues are exerting financial stress to municipalities, residents and businesses in the Adirondacks, he said. ñ There are unique challenges in this part of the state including environmental issues,î he said. noting how a balance was necessary between economic development and environmental protection. In addition, the population in the Adirondack Park is declining, and the Park residents remaining are aging and requiring more services, at a time government revenue is declining, he said. ñ Each part of the state has its own challenges,î he continued. However, things are looking up in Warren County, he said, noting that retail sales are up, resulting in a 2.6 percent increase in sales tax revenue for 2012. Fiscal pressures on state, county and local governments are bound to continue, DiNapoli predicted, noting that federal aid has been cut while costs are increasing. ñ Financial stress is not a passing phase,î he remarked, adding how no real progress has been made on mandate relief. “Difficult choices on spending will continue.î ï Fiscal StressÍ system ramping up DiNapoli said his agency is launching a research and outreach program that analyzes municipalities’ financial data and identifies those at risk of bankruptcy or default.

This fiscal stress monitoring system, he said, would provide an early warning of substantial financial problems he said, noting the Comptroller’s office will be publishing the list. “This is not meant to be finger-pointing, but to inform and engage the local taxpayers and citizens so they can provide more thoughtful input,î he said. Pension cash for NY enterprises DiNapoli noted that his office had established the In-state Private Equity Program to steer investment money from the state pension fund to help local businesses either start up or expand and prosper „ or assist out of-state businesses in moving to New York State. This program, he said, has already resulted in $641 million being invested to date in 246 companies across the state, including $22 million for Navilyst (recently acquired by Angio-Dynamics) in Glens Falls, he said. ñ WeÍ re trying to recycle state pension fund dollars right back into the stateÍ s economy,î he said. DiNapoli: ï claim your cashÍ Also, DiNapoli touted his agencyÍ s program of publishing names of those due unclaimed funds held by the sate „ a total of $12 billion belonging to individuals and businesses, culled from checks left uncashed from as long ago as 1940. To make his point, DiNapoli hauled out three giant checks to local entities reflecting their balances existing now in his office’s Unclaimed Funds depository. He presented a check of $200 to the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce represented by Peter Aust, ARCC President; $651.83 to the Glens Falls National Bank represented by its president, Thomas Murphy, and $532 to the City of Glens Falls „ with Sen. Little accepting the check. Later, Queensbury Supervisor Ron Montesi asked DiNapoli about whether his office tracked how much state Lottery revenue actually bankrolled public education, its original stated purpose. Answering for DiNapoli, Sen. Little said that sum was $3.4 billion for 2012. DiNapoli said that state Lottery revenue was deposited in the state General Fund, out of which state Aid for education was drawn. ñ ItÍ s an accounting mechanism,î he said. DiNapoli was also asked if a dollar value had been calculated reflecting the actual benefits stemming from the tax breaks and incentives awarded Global Foundries. ñ I canÍ t give you hard numbers, but economic development experts saw it as a great opportunity,î he said about the multibillion chip-fabrication development based in Malta, and the spin-off high technology industries attracted to the Capital Region. “Their objectives are now being fulfilled in a positive way.” After DiNapoliÍ s 90-minute presentation, Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty praised the state Comptroller for his outreach to Warren County. ñ DiNapoli is an effective advocate for local communities, and showing up here is a good thing for the region,î Geraghty said. State Assemblyman Dan Stec of Queensbury said he support-

ed DiNapoliÍ s commitment to reinvesting pension fund cash into in-state businesses. “Investing in New York businesses benefits the state’s economy and creates jobs,î he said, adding that any area business with a qualifying need should contact him or Sen. Little as well as DiNapoli for potential assistance. ñ ItÍ s a great idea and a winwin situation.î

The one that got away...

Get the net...what net?

Hooking a fish is not the most difficult element of the angling equation. It is a task that most anyone can master. Landing a fish is a bit tougher. Netting a fish, now that part can be an art. Netting a fish can also be a very difficult task, especially without a net. “Don’t tell me you forget the net!”, my friend proclaimed as I furiously began to fumble through my pack. “Yeah, I did!”, I admitted as I labored to bring a big brook trout to the surface. I had been fighting with it for about five minutes, and I still hadn’t been able to get it to the surface. ñ What are you going to do?î , he asked. “Well, it’s too big to fit in my hat, and I can’t shoot it; so IÍ ll have to hand-land it.î Five hard fought minutes passed before I got a look at it, and it was huge.! It was a large, slab-sided brook and I was struggling to get it near the boat. Every time I got it close, it would dive for the depths and my drag would scream. My line was just a 4-pound test monofiliment, and Joe Hackett shows oﬀ the fat brookie he the trout appeared to be every ounce of that and maybe hand-landed. Below, Joe’s buddy John attempts to land an even bigger ﬁsh by hand. more. My arm tired from the fight, and I was forced to trade hands several times. Finally, the bruiser was slowing down and I got it to the surface. With the first look, my adrenaline kicked in and I worked hard to bring it alongside the boat. After a few more runs, it bellied up and I was able to gently grasp it by the gill plate, and toss it in the boat. My friend was laughing so hard the entire boat was shaking, or maybe it was just the rush of adrenaline after seeing the size of the fish I had just caught. Either way, I was happy, I had a meal to take home as in return for the long, hard portage, the swarms of blackflies, the muddy put-ins and all those long, steep hills. ItÍ s surprising how much pain can be forgotten in the brief euphoric moments that a trout is in hand. We laughed and joked about the catch, and as soon as we were rigged, my friend tossed a line over the side. Almost instantly, he was into another giant brookie. It took line off his reel in strong diving runs, and he fought back. He battled it, up and out of the water, down and all around. I spun the boat around several times to keep the fish away. My friend handled it well, and after a long, seesaw battle, he finally brought the brookie alongside the boat, By this time, we had attracted an audience and another boater offered a net. We looked at each other, and the net was refused. He had to hand land the bruiser. Gently, he cupped the big fish in his hands and tried to lift it in the boat. It was out of the water and almost in the boat when he dropped it back in the water. The fish sounded, stripping line off the reel in a steady ï zzz-zzzz,Í but the line held. Less than a minute later (which is an eternity in an anxious anglerÍ s mind) the big boy was again back on the surface, and I quickly swung the boat around to bring the fish up along broadside. Again, he brought the fish alongside the boat, and with his rod held high, he scooped it into the boat, launching it like a center hiking a football. The big brookie landed on top of our packs, which were nearly an equal distance from both of us. And as we each reached to grab it, the big fish slapped hard on the pack and launched itself over the side. My friend looked aimlessly at the water, and in the boat, his rod still in hand and a bewildered look in his eyes. We had a good laugh, and after a few more attempts we decided to pack out and head for home. Our fish story was complete, but a long journey lay ahead. And best of all, we had the photos to prove it.

isms. Organic matter also has a high cation exchange capacity (CEC). The cation exchange By Rich Redman capacity is what holds the nutrients to organic matter and soil particles so they can be used by the plants. Cations are positively charged and are the base elements like calcium, magnesium and potassium. When cations are deficient in soils, they become acidic. The pH (potential hydrogen) of a soil is the measure of acidity or alkalinity. A pH of 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic or low in cations and above 7 is alkaline. Nutrients become more available to plants when the pH is around 6.3 to 6.8. That doesnÍ t mean you need to have your soil in that pH range. You need to know what the plants you want to grow prefer. Blueberries prefer a more acid soil and alfalfa likes a higher pH. Limestone is added to raise the pH. Limestone is composed of calcium; a cation. ThatÍ s why dairy farmers who grow alfalfa have the lime trucks spreading the white dust every once in a while. The white dust is ground up limestone rock, which is fine in texture so it reacts quickly. Limestone is high in calcium adding cations to the soil, so the pH is raised to meet the plant requirements. Anions are the negatively charged nutrients like nitrogen. They can be easily lost to the atmosphere or to leaching. Most of these elements come from the decomposition of organic material by soil microbes and are released in acidic solutions with water. Chemical fertilizer such as ammonium nitrate, or decaying grasses and clovers, release nitrogen to the soil for plant roots to take up in solution. So if you want to improve your garden you need to make sure you have the right pH and soil nutrients. The best way to find out what is in your soil and what is needed for your plants, is to get a soil test. Drainage and aeration are also important to growing plants. Too much water saturates the soil and doesnÍ t let oxygen in to break down organic matter to release nutrients. Too much natural drainage like gravel soils would have and plants may need irrigation during droughty periods. For small gardens drainage is usually not an issue, but for large farms, saturated soils can reduce crop production by tons per acre. Large commercial farm operations get the nutrients they need from commercial fertilizers, plowed down sod and animal manures. If you are striving for an organic approach, plowed down grasses and clovers add organic matter and allow the slow release of nutrients during the decomposition process. Compost is an excellent source of nutrients for organic production of vegetable and fruit crops. Animal manures and vegetative waste that are composted provide a slow release of nutrients to your plants and provide tilth. I must express a word of caution, about using fresh manure. When fresh manure is added to a garden it may cause a temporary loss of nitrogen. The soil microbes use the nitrogen for their growth. As they die off the nitrogen is released back to the soil. Fresh manure can also draw insects, so compost it first to help stabilize the nutrients and to kill off weed seeds. Cover crops are used by both commercial farmers and organic farms. Cover crops such as winter rye and wheat are planted while a crop is growing by aerial means or after a crop is harvested in the fall. The plants are allowed to grow throughout the fall until dormancy from winter. In spring growth begins again, and the soil nutrients are taken up by the roots of the growing plant, saving them from leaching away. The rye or wheat is then plowed or roto-tilled into the soil and allowed to start the decomposition process again. The nutrients are recycled in the soil by plant to soil and back to another plant. If you have ever walked a plowed field of clay and had those sticky clays cling to your boots making them heavy and hard to walk, you are what were called in the depression years, a clod hopper! So to all you clod hoppers out there who want to improve your garden: first, make sure drainage and aeration are good, get a soil test, adjust the pH for your crops, and then add fertilizer and organic matter. From one clod hopper to another, you now get to enjoy the independence of growing your own crops for food, just like the professional farmers do. Good eating to all!

Conversations

nyone who has ever spent time on the water has heard the story about the big one that got away. And most anyone who spends much time fishing, has told a tale or two, sometime honestly, and surely a few that werenÍ t. In all of my years, watching the action from the tail end of the boat; IÍ ve witnessed plenty of odd scenes. I’ve watched fish break fishing lines, and pop the hooks off a lure. I’ve seen two fish landed on a single lure use, with one hanging on each of the treble hook. On several occasions, I’ve also seen a larger fish caught while reeling in a smaller fish. It happens more often than youÍ d think, especially with pike and largemouth bass. IÍ ve had salmon that were hooked leap clear out of the water, and land in the boat, and I had one fellow who jumped out of the boat, when there was a 32 inch pike thrashing around on the floor in front of him. Over the course of time, IÍ ve gotten to be pretty good with a landing net. IÍ ve scooped up many fishing, as well as small dogs, a few kids and at least a thousand or so fish. I also used a really long handled net to dredge the lake bottom after the waves had washed all our beer out to sea. And it actually worked! Whenever possible, I’ve attempted to let fish loose without using a net, and it’s usually an easy process, especially when using barbless hooks. I simply hold onto the shaft of the hook and turn it upside down, and usually the fish will fall right off. Occasionally, IÍ ll use a pair of forceps, or needle nose pliers to remove a hook. ItÍ s rarely a problem to extract a hook from bass, especially largemouth. IÍ ve caught bass that were large enough to allow me to stick my fist in their maw. I’ve also taken tiny little brookie fingerlings that were so delicate I dared not to touch them. I’d simply shake them off the barbless hook.

The Burgh - 17

stopped to get my morning cup of hot black coffee. I always get coffee before I start out on a mission, whether itÍ s to get hay, hauling gravel for my woods road, or going fishing. In my early years, I was a professional, over the road, tractor-trailer driver out of western New York. Black coffee and cigarettes were a driver’s road companions! I gave up the butts. But, ñ they will have to pry my coffee cup from my cold dead hands if they want it.” I won’t give that up! While getting my brew, a friend asked: ñ When are you going to write about helping me get my garden to grow?î The thought of compost and planting crops has been rolling around in my mind lately, so here are some basics on earth management. Geomorphology is the study of the earthÍ s land formations. The glaciers formed during a cooling period and became the major land crafting tool in our area. The ice sheets and melting runoff, ground off mountain tops, and scoured out the valleys. As the earth warmed and the ice melted, large streams and lakes were formed. Streams carried soils and gravels and deposited them as the velocities slowed. Sediment in lakes settled to the bottom. As the ice disappeared, the rivers and lakes were reduced in size. Old shorelines and beaches, river outwash and gravel bars were formed. What we have now, are the remnants of that period. Clays were formed in our area when it was covered in water. The fine, crushed and ground rocks from the glaciers settled to the bottom of the lake and are now clays. Glacial streams and eskers left deposits of sands and gravels, just like you see in todayÍ s streambeds. Old beaches, and the banks and mouths of ancient streams are where many sand deposits are today. Moving water made the decision as to what was left behind. Fast currents carried the smaller particles and left the larger cobbles and boulders behind. Slower moving waters allowed the finer materials to settle out, just like you would see in the profile of a stream today. The glaciers receded and the runoff made its way to the sea. Eventually, vegetation started taking root in the material left behind, working its way up from the south. The cycle of life and death started the accumulation of organic material on the surface, just like the topsoil we have today. Soils are composed of particles of stone, organic matter and soil organisms. The stone fraction is sand, silt, clay or a mixture of these. In our area, we also have cobbles and boulders, but IÍ m not considering them part of the garden soil, although if you drove by my place, boulders do pop out of the ground like dandelions every year! Clays are the finest stone particles, and then comes silts and finally sands. They are all stone, just different sizes. But that difference in size makes a considerable challenge as to how to manage them. As a gardener, the topsoil is where you grow your plants, but the subsoil and material underneath make it easy or hard to manage. Now were back to sand, silt and clays again. Sands are the larger particles so there are minute spaces between each grain of sand which allows excellent drainage. But, because of the large spaces, sands allow nutrients to leach out quickly. Heavy clays are the fine particles of stone and have the opposite effect; they donÍ t drain well, but hold lots of nutrients. You canÍ t do much to change the soil type in your garden unless you want to mix sand in with the clays or vice versa. You can add organic matter though. Organic matter in the form of manure, compost and plowed down cover crops add tilth to your garden soil. Tilth is the ability to hold water, add structure to the soil and make it crumble in your hands when you hold it and break it apart. The organic fraction in soil is what makes the clays easier to work and the sands hold moisture and nutrients. Organic matter is the life blood of your soils. Organic matter holds the moisture during droughty periods. It also contains many of the micronutrients and is home to the soil organ-

Gibson Brothers From page 1

Sierra Hull, until the brothers choose WalshÍ s replacement. Adam Steffey will also be playing mandolin with the Gibsons and was with them this week at Bluegrass & BBQ in Branson, Mo. ñ We are using different award-winning mandolin players for the next month,î Leigh said in an email. ñ I wanted to make sure we had a quality performer with us while we decided who would take over the job without rushing to a decision. While you can never be certain someone will be the right answer for the long term, giving ourselves time to find the next player can only help make a better call.î Using a variety of mandolin players takes the pressure off of finding a full-time player right away, according to Leigh, who expects to have a new member in place by July. ñ But for now IÍ m having fun getting to know and work with some incredible pickers,î Leigh said. The performance in Old Forge was a homecoming of sorts for the Gibson Brothers, who were playing to a crowd of longtime fans and paddlers. Old Forge is on the southern end of their home turf in New YorkÍ s Adirondack Park and hosted the annual Paddlefest this past weekend.

Everyone who attends the Expo will have one chance to ñ Spin It To Win It,î

May 25, 2013 Both Clayton Campbell on the fiddle and Mike Barber on upright bass joined Eric and Leigh. Campbell has been with the Gibsons for nine years, and Barber for 20. ñ Because of that, we allowed him this year to get married,î Leigh said of Barber, who also co-produces albums with the brothers. ñ So heÍ s going to do that this fall.î Their set began with ñ Help My Brother,î title track to the 2011 IBMA Album of the Year. It was followed by a collection of songs from past albums, such as ñ Safe Passage,î ñ The Open Road,î ñ Farm of Yesterday,î ñ Dreams That End Like This,î ñ Just LovinÍ You,î ñ Red Letter Day,î and ñ WalkinÍ West to Memphis.î It also featured music from their new album, including ñ The Darker the Night, the Better I See,î ñ Dying for Someone to Live For,î ñ Buy a Ring, Find a Preacher,î and the title track and the GibsonÍ s current No. 1 hit, ñ They Called It Music,î which Eric co-wrote with Joe Newberry. ñ There arenÍ t really singles in bluegrass music. Deejays play whatever they like to play,” Leigh said during the concert, filling the time while Eric tuned his banjo. ñ This is the one theyÍ re playing the most, so itÍ s kind of the song thatÍ s charting for us. I canÍ t believe it; IÍ ve written things for the record, and theyÍ re not really charting. But this one of EricÍ s is. Maybe thereÍ s still some payola out in the world EricÍ s using up.î Leigh told a story about the songÍ s beginning and how Newberry, of Raleigh, N.C., once spent some time picking with an elderly banjo player up in the hills. ñ And he asked him, ï This style of playing that you do, when you were playing it years ago, did they call it country music, did they call it bluegrass, folk, old time, whatÍ d they call it?Í And the fellow said, ï Son, they called it music,Í î Leigh said. ñ Two months later, a lightning bolt finally clicked with Eric. It took him a while to figure it out. He said, ‘There’s a song in that.’ So he wrote it.” Eric also wrote the album’s final track, “Songbird’s Song,” which was the result of a three-day insomnia attack when the Gibson Brothers traveled to Denmark in 2012. “When we first got there, I was so tired,” Eric said on stage. ñ I said, ï IÍ m just going to take a little nap.Í And he (Leigh) said, ï DonÍ t do it.Í He said, ï YouÍ re going to mess yourself up. DonÍ t do it.Í And I said, ï DonÍ t tell me what to do.Í And he was right. I slept about four hours or so.î ñ He was walking the streets of Denmark,î Leigh added. ñ He knew where every hot dog stand was in Copenhagen.î The Old Forge concert was co-sponsored by Saratoga Guitar, operated by longtime musical friend Matt McCabe, of Saratoga Springs. Their encore performance was ñ Holding Things Together,î a tribute to Merle Haggard and symbolic of how the Gibson Brothers are getting along without Joe Walsh during their 2013 tour.
