City evaluating proposed 2016 budget Spending plan includes tax levy increase of 9.9 percent

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh might blow their cap.

Mayor James Calnon’s budget proposal includes a tax-levy increase of 9.9 percent.

“It’s too early to tell to tell if we’ll go over the tax cap,” he said. “There are so many things that are yet to be known.”

The state-mandated tax cap holds spending increases at no more than .73 percent.

TasteÊ of Home

But when factoring in allowable items, such as property growth and credit for staying below the tax cap last year, for the city, the actual hard cap will be 1.9 percent.

Currently, total estimated expenses equal $23,481,563 while total estimated revenues equal 22,209,753 — leaving a gap of about $800,000.

Calnon said he believes the city can trim the budget plan to get to the cap level by using some leftover money from this year’s budget and savings from health-insurance plans for retirees.

The council opted to change health-insurance plans for retirees earlier this month saving approximately $400,000 and reducing the tax-levy by 4 percent.

Calnon said he believes there might be over $100,000 of extra carryover that the council hasn’t anticipated yet, which gives another 1 percent of the tax-levy.

Meet the candidates: Schuyler Falls

SCHUYLER FALLS — With just one week until Election Day, candidates in the town of Schuyler Falls have sounded off on the issues.

Traveling cooking show comes to the Crete Center in Plattsburgh on Sunday PLATTSBURGH — Nancy Mock stood on stage and beamed.

Several months ago, the Colchester resident submitted a recipe to Taste of Home magazine, a smoky gouda and chicken melt sandwich, and it was accepted.

Pete For readers of the national cooking DeMola magazine, which has a circulation of 3.2 Editor million, recipe acceptance marks something of a badge of honor, validation from the gatekeepers to the country’s kitchens.

Taking her involvement a step further, Mock, who is a volunteer field editor for the magazine, opted to participate in last year’s Taste of Home Cooking School in Plattsburgh, the annual roadshow that brings a visiting celebrity chef before live audiences to recreate some of the magazine’s most popular recipes.

“I like the magazine so much I thought it would be great to stay active,” said Mock, one of a handful of assistants who helped the chef, Eric Villegas, prepare a spread of 10 different dishes before a crowd of hundreds.

The mayor stated the city may have to bust the tax cap, something he doesn’t want to do.

“We won’t really know until December,” he said. “That’s why we’ve been working really hard at trying to find savings and expenditures to generate new revenue.”

Besides changing health insurance plans for retirees, Calnon made one new position in the finance department funded almost exclusively by reducing overtime.

“We’re just at a point where we are doing so much overtime that it’s hurting customer service,” Calnon said. “This will make us more flexible and will cost very little.”

The council will hold budget work sessions - all open to the public - between now and Jan. 15 when a final budget plan must be adopted.

For the budget-session schedule, visit www.cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov.

The Taste of Home Cooking School will arrive in Plattsburgh on Sunday, Nov. 1. The daylong event, the region’s largest fall show, features prize giveaways, vendors and a live cooking demonstration from a celebrity chef.

As the assistants worked in clock-like precision to prepare dishes like chicken and mushroom spanakopitas, gingerbread cheesecake and soft beer pretzels, Villegas kept the crowd entertained with fast-paced commentary.

This year’s event, the sixth installment of the region’s largest fall show, is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 1 at the Crete Center in Plattsburgh.

Like Mock, participants say it’s a way to keep engaged while learning new tricks in the kitchen and building a sense of community. >> Story Continued | pg. 11

He’s been involved in the town for 20 years and currently serves as the chairman of the zoning board.

Potiker would like to address landfill issues, incorporation of natural gas into the town and maintaining promoting responsible growth within the town without losing its character.

Powerhouse Gym reveals new additions for members

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Powerhouse Gym revealed a variety of changes to its members Monday, Oct. 19.

The gym introduced four new additions: child care options, access to the MMA fighting room, handmade American Ninja Warrior-type equipment in the cross training room and incorporation of polar heart rate monitors.

“We’re always looking for different ways to service people’s needs,” said Keith Provost, co-owner of Powerhouse Gym. “The response has just been crazy.”

CHILD CARE Due to many requests, Powerhouse Gym will be offering child care called the Powerhouse Play Center so that parents and single parents can work out without having to hire a babysitter.

Michelle Mosher, co-owner of Powerhouse Gym, said the center will offer a safe and comfortable environment for kids to explore the built-in play house, do arts and crafts and other types of fun.

Parents will be able to drop their kids off in the play center with a part-time worker, who’s already been hired, Monday through Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.

It costs $5 for one child and another $2 for the second and up. Walk ins are welcome, but reservations are recommended and can be made a week in advance.

“We had a lot of people ask for this child care,” Mosher said.

“There are so many parents who can’t workout, but now they can with us.”

Around the walls of the cross training room, Co-owner Keith Provost created equipment by hand, including a 30-foot rig.

CROSS TRAINING Provost and Mosher looked into buying training equipment for the cross-training room. When the bill came up to around $25,000, they came up with another idea: a DIY project.

Provost decided to create the equipment by hand out of pieces of hardwood ash and black iron pipe, including a 30foot rig with three squat racks and multiple height pull up bars.

“There’s a lot of interesting things going on with that room,” Provost said. “People love it.”

The positive reactions inspired him to make more ninja warrior-type implements within the four to six weeks, including a curved wall, floating ladder, fireman’s hose cllimb, sinch block ally, floating wall, bouldering wall and multiple rings and ropes for extra training.

Also, people have made a request to consider creating smaller training equipment for children — a request the gym is considering.

This room will be available to members during normal gym hours.

Due to many requests, Powerhouse Gym will be offering child care called the Powerhouse Play Center.

Keith Provost and Michelle Mosher HEART MONITORS

MMA FIGHTING Powerhouse Gym purchased all the MMA fighting equipment from Plattsburgh Combat Sports, who reserved the fighting room and its equipment on the upstairs level of the gym.

Now, for an additional fee of $15, members can now use the room, equipment and train in the classes that take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.

“It’s a really good deal for our members,” said Provost.

In the future, Provost said they hope to build a fighting cage around the fighting mats.

This room will be available to members during regular gym hours.

Powerhouse Gym, in the near future, will not only be selling polar heart rate monitors, but using them for classes.

Powerhouse Gym will have between 10 to 15 monitors for classes, specifically raw and spin classes, to make it easier for the instructor to monitor the heart rates of all participants and modify the workout based on a flat screen monitor.

“I can’t wait for that,” Provost said, who’s been a heart rate trainer for the last 15 years. “People will really love it.”

For more information about future updates, the gym or becoming a member, call 518-561-4163, email powerhouse12901@gmail.com or visit their Facebook page “Powerhouse Gym.”

Eat local, organic: Family opens Farmhouse Pantry

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

SARANAC — Local couple Donnie and Joanna Jackson collected over 100 coffee mugs for about 20 years for their dream of owning and operating their own coffee shop.

The couple’s dream came true as they, along with their daughter Sarah and her husband, Josh Vaillancourt, opened Farmhouse Pantry earlier last month.

They opened the shop with a unique thought in mind: To allow guests to choose their own special mug in a relaxed environment and fill it with their variety of hot and cold drinks like coffee, tea, chai, latte, cappuccino, espresso and homemade hot chocolate.

Farmhouse Pantry, besides a coffee shop, is also a bakery, eatery and farm store — making, serving and selling as much local and organic products as they can.

“It’s all made from scratch,” Sarah said. “We try to make sure all of our products are local and organic and if we can’t find something like that, we get as close as we can.”

Farmhouse Pantry offers a list of organic specials each week with a different theme, along with everyday menu items such as the Keeseville Grilled Cheese — havarti from North Coun-

try Creamery on choice of homemade bread with a side of apple wedges from Rulfs Orchard — and the Saranac Grassfed Beef Burger — a 1/4 hand pressed hamburger on a homemade bun with house sauce and a side of coleslaw.

For dessert, Josh bakes up a variety of goodies such as pies, tarts, cakes, eclairs, cheesecake, cookies, brownies, cupcakes and cream puffs using local products such as pastured eggs from Rehoboth Homestead in Peru and flour and grains from Champlain Valley Milling in Westport.

“Josh makes a ton of baked goods,” Sarah said. “They’re all yummy.”

Along with being a bakery and café, the Farmhouse Pantry is also a family store, selling cheeses from North Country Creamery in Keeseville, maple syrup form Jim Mazzotte in Saranac, mustards and jams from Bouquet River Jelly Mill in Willsboro and meats from Woven Meadows Farm.

“We try to build everything around things we can find locally,” Josh said. “We really try to promote and highlight all of the local farms.”

Woven Meadows Farm is owned and operated by Josh and Sarah who also joined in on the dream not of a coffee shop, but a creamery.

Josh and Sarah moved to Saranac three and a half years ago and got a farm, Woven Meadows, on Chazy Lake Road with the intention of having a grass-fed dairy herd and starting a creamery for cheesemaking.

The couple questioned whether to renovate the barn to add a creamery or to build something new on the land, but another option came up.

In November 2014, Josh and Sarah called the closing restaurant Rustique located four miles away from their farm to open a creamery and offer a little farm store as well. They moved in around February, creating the bakery, café and farm store open today.

They hope to have the creamery done by Christmas — making them the first creamery in Clinton County.

“Our hope from the start was to produce local food in a sustainable way,” Josh said. “We wanted to create a space for people to come up and try something local and organic.”

Champlain Valley Chorus to present Sweet Expectations

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — “Weekend in New England” will take place Nov. 7 at 3 p.m. at Plattsburgh High School, featuring Beartracks, Eric Gibson on Banjo, Champlain Valley Sweet Adelines and Sweet Expectations.

“It’s going to be a great concert,” said Sally Garvey, member of the show committee. “It’s going to be fun.”

Sweet Expectations, a Young Women in Harmony workshop, is an event where young women are able to learn about four-part a cappella barbershop style singing in a group setting with no instruments, just voice.

“They’re young and they’re vibrant,” said Anice LaMora, vice president of the Champlain Valley Sweet Adelines and part of the show committee. “These are girls that just want to sing.”

For this concert, almost 40 young women ages 9 to 17 from Peru, Westport, Willsboro, Champlain, Chazy, Saranac, Plattsburgh and Peru are registered to sing.

Upon signing up, sheet music and learning tracks are provided in advance to prepare for the concert.

The first and only rehearsal takes place the morning of the concert at 9 a.m., where participants will spend the day working with guest Karin Ryan, who teaches K-6 music and chorus at L.P. Quinn Elementary School in Tupper Lake — polishing the songs they studied, learning a new part and adding choreography for the show at 3 p.m.

The young women will be performing four songs: two on their own and two with the Champlain Valley Chorus of Sweet Adelines.

SWEET ADELINES The Champlain Valley Chorus of Sweet Adelines is a chapter of Sweet Adelines International — a group that has been around since 1968 comprised of women ages BLANK who sing for birthdays, anniversaries and events and share the barbershop form of singing, especially to the young.

“Sweet Adelines does want to reach out to young people,” said Carole Harsh, member of the show committee. “We are always looking to recruit young people to this program.”

The group started the Sweet Expectations, Young Women in Harmony workshop, to get young women involved in a capella singing.

The Young Women in Harmony program teaches emerging voices the skills, joy and rewards of performing and singing four-part harmony, barbershop style.

It delivers both musical excellence and education while giving young women a taste of show business. It provides educational tools to teach female singers under the age of 25 the joy of performing this American vocal music art form.

“It’s important for kids to have a variety of opportunities,” said Diane Sabourin, president of the Champlain Valley Sweet Adelines. “So, that’s why we decided to do this program.”

It costs $10 for adults, $8 for students and seniors and free for children under 5. Tickets are available at the door or in advance at the Party Factory.

All proceeds will go toward Music & Memory — a non-profit organization that brings personalized music into the lives of the elderly or infirm through digital music technology.

For more information, contact Sabourin at 518-569-6188 or dsabourin@champlainvalleychorus.org or visit www.champlainvalleychorus.org.

For this concert, almost 40 young women ages 9 to 17 from Peru, Westport, Willsboro, Champlain, Chazy, Saranac, Plattsburgh and Peru are registered to sing.

Federal funds to bring trail to Champlain and Rouses Point $1.6 million grant aids lawmaker in dream of a lifetime

By Natasha Courter

cially, said McManus. We hope to make this zero cost.”

An estimate for construction will be finalized by the spring of 2016 and any money left over may be used for special aesthetics like lighting and benches.

news@suncommunitynews.com

ROUSES POINT — With the help of grants, an off-road recreation trail will be constructed between the village of Rouses Point and the village of Champlain next year.

The trail has been an idea that County Legislator Harry McManus had when he started teaching in the late 1960s. He noticed that there are some dangerous roadways children use to ride their bikes along to get to school.

“I wasn’t in an elected position to do anything,” said McManus. “This worked out well because I’m on the county legislator for this area now.”

THE GRANT There are a few grants that have helped to make this idea come to life. But the largest sum of money comes from the Department of Transportation.

“It is a 1.6 million dollar grant,” said McManus.

The federal grant was awarded to the community at the end of January.

It is an 80/ 20 grant, meaning 80 percent of the money has been given by the Department of Transportation and 20 percent is given by a local match.

McManus had to get the municipalities of Rouses Point and Champlain on board for the idea. Once they filled out applications, the grants started coming in.

The idea is to always think bigger when it comes to ideas like creating a recreation trail, he said.

The community has also been able to secure another $100,000 from a waterfront grant and they have an application now pending with Parks and Rec for another $100,000.

“Our state senator has also pledged to support this finan-

COMPLICATIONS McManus and the community tried to get a grant approved in the 1990s, but were unsuccessful.

They also attempted to get a grant four years ago, but they could not amass enough reasons as to why they needed the money.

One reason in why the communities are now successful in raising funds for the project is because the trail will connect the elementary school of Rouses Point and the middle school in Champlain, said McManus.

THE DESIGN The basic idea of the trail, which will span some 5-6 miles, will first undergo a preliminary design stage, Al Roscoe, Clinton County Highway Superintendent said. This is when an alternative can be presented before final stages of design are set into motion.

The preliminary design has been finished this week, and there will be a public hearing at the end of November for the community members to get informed about this project and express their concerns.

As of right now, the projected date for construction to begin is late 2016 and it should be completed by the summer of 2017, said McManus.

However, one of the biggest design flaws that have the residents buzzing is the fact that the trail may run through their lawns.

Even though the village owns the land the residents live on, the village will be accommodating them by considering the

sidewalks as part of the trail and expanding the road to include shared roadway.

“Inside the village of Rouses Point, the signage will be part of what’s already there,” McManus said. “Once you get outside the village there will be a 10-foot-wide recreation trail running about four miles from the edge of Rouses Point into the Village of Champlain, and it will not run through any of the residential areas.”

Instead of building a separate piece of trail, it will be marked off as already existing road.

It will be similar to the trail on Cumberland Head in Plattsburgh, said Roscoe.

“There is a multi-use path down Cumberland Head that went in with the new road years ago,” Roscoe said. “We try to have a 10-foot separation from the pavement that we consider off-road.”

There are also options where the pavement can be widened to have bike lanes on both sides.

These all criteria set forth by New York State Department of Transportation Specifications.

THE FUTURE “First and foremost it makes a statement about our community,” said McManus. “It’s a positive to attract people to the community when you have a recreation trail.”

It is also McManus’ hope that this trail will help people become more health conscious whether they decide to bike in the summer or snowshoe in the winter.

“I think it is really an enhancement to the community.”

O

ne has to wonder these days if we realize just who our

enemy is?

There are so many threats to life as it was once known in this country, that the above question begs to be asked.

While the threats from outside our nation look ominous, I fear we have seen the enemy and it is us.

Our internal pettiness has continued to grow and has become even more spiteful.

And while much of this spitefulness stems from political affiliation and special interest it now seems to flow over to everyday life and affects every level of society.

Here is just another example of failing to reach a simple consensus. After deciding at the end of the last school year to pull the Londonderry, New Hampshire High School out of the National School Lunch Program due to the great amount of food that was ending up in the trash, the school learned that new requirements would be placed upon them.

While the district’s elementary and middle schools remain in the program, which sets portion and nutrition guidelines for students, provides low cost staples and subsidizes meals of low-income pupils, it proved immensely unpopular at the high school level.

A problem arose when U.S. Department of Agriculture officials, and the state agency that shares oversight of the program, realized that nearly all of the district’s food is taken in, stored and is prepared at the high school.

That means food destined for the one middle and four elementary schools, which is subsidized by taxpayers, could be co-mingled with food that is not. It also means the high school – but not the other schools in the district – would forgo foods the USDA provides at low prices, including items like cheese, diced chicken and peaches.

To ensure that all the food was properly accounted for, the district could either build a separate facility for food preparation at the other schools or adopt the type of strict accounting system used at industrial food processing facilities.

The school superintendent said the district never intended to wade into the politics of the school lunch program, which has been championed by First Lady Michelle Obama. He is now left wondering if the bureaucratic push back is agenda-driven.

You would think something as simple as providing good choices for a healthy school lunch could be accomplished without a full blown war, but in today’s politically charge environment the goal isn’t obvious, even when both sides want the same thing.

EDITORIALS

Let your voice be heard: Go vote E

lection Day is on Tuesday.

As you drive past the campaign signs, skim through the newspaper articles and encounter politicians on the campaign trail, consider the following: What if your vote actually mattered?

What if casting your ballot wasn’t just a mindless exercise in civic duty?

What if your decision had a direct impact on your daily life?

It’s all true.

This year is an off-election year, which means none of your state and federal representatives are up for a performance review.

As such, voter turnout is usually low.

While participation rates tend to be higher when people feel as if they’ve got something at stake, New York’s turnout is frighteningly low even in the best of times.

Only one-third of the state’s eligible voters have participated in midterm elections since 2002.

Last year’s election saw the worst voter turnout in 72 years. With just 29 percent of eligible voters casting ballots, the Empire State ranked second-last in the country.

Even at the national level, the numbers are in freefall.

Yikes.

Despite the misnomer, the stakes really are high during these off-year elections.

Nearly every town official across the North Country is up for re-election next week — Town supervisors, board members, justices, highway superintendents, clerks, assessors and tax collectors — All of them are subject to your approval.

But despite most residents viewing democracy as an indelible human right, many don’t appear to realize what this belief actually means.

Voting is not an exercise in futility.

Despite the big ticket discussions that characterize political discourse in our country — immigration reform, trade agreements, nuclear deals and all sorts of cultural issues — for most of us who live modest and ordinary lives, it is the decisions made at the local level that pack the most punch, both when it comes to crafting meaningful policy and ensuring a positive balance in your checkbook.

Local officials provide most of the services that constitute your daily interaction with government: They assess your property, set your tax rates, issue building permits, repair infrastructure and implement social programs.

Your local leaders also act as conduits to the state and federal representatives who control the purse strings.

Most of the money that trickles back to local communities is because officials know how to tap into the piggy bank.

This rainmaking is a skill.

All politics is local.

And who sits at the table is entirely up to you.

Your vote counts.

Perhaps just as important as your vote is the effect that your attitude has on other people.

While enthusiasm is contagious, so is apathy.

We’ve seen firsthand the effect that even small discussions at home or the workplace have to either motivate or discourage others from exercising their civic duties.

Say, for example, you stay home on Election Day because you feel as if your candidate will pull out an easy victory.

Or it’s too cold.

Or they’re all bums, anyway, so why bother.

That influence can spread like a contagion and influence outcomes.

In these small North Country communities, we can recall a handful of recent races within the past half-decade that have hinged upon single-vote margins.

It all bears mentioning that those who don’t vote regularly — namely the young, the poor and those with lower levels of education — have different needs and visions for their community than their more engaged counterparts, including the elderly and the affluent.

The absence of these voices has implications simply because elected officials tend not to value the opinions of those who don’t bother to show up.

For many, apathy is their stock and trade.

So what’s it going to be?

Participating in these local elections isn’t just about selecting the best candidate for the job, nor should it be a popularity contest, but is rather playing a direct role in your own destiny.

The choice between going forward or getting stuck in neutral is all yours.

We understand this isn’t exactly a crowded field. Even if your local official isn’t facing any competition this year, we still encourage you to come have a seat at the table, if only to cast a vote of non-confidence.

We can’t help but draw a parallel to the lottery and scratch-off tickets.

It seems like whenever we stop at a local shop, we find ourselves in line behind people playing the lottery.

They’re not buying one scratch-off ticket or even five — they’re buying reams of them, forking out fistfuls of cash at a time.

But unlike rolling the dice, with voting, the odds of striking it big really are within reach.

We hope to see you on Tuesday.

Democratic presidential debate showed strong performances AARON WOOLF

congressional candidate in

NY’s 21st District aawoolf@me.com

T

he first Democratic presidential debate provided some notable revelations. Hilary Clinton’s unexpectedly strong performance was celebrated not only for its competence but for its humanity as well and even the opposition remarked on the overall air of civility and the substantive exchanges that defined the evening.

But perhaps most remarkable was the energetic presence of Vermont’s Independent Senator Bernie Sanders. His refreshing consistency and focus on economic inequality brought vitality to the event and reminded many Democrats of their party’s fundamental values.

For the Vermont Senator, it was a sober and intentional choice to run as a Democrat. Sanders believes there is a pathway to the presidency, and despite his history of political independence, that path is not with a third party.

Bernie’s decision to compete and his success on the Democratic stage has been a blessing to the party and to the political process. If Sanders had chosen to remain independent or align with a fringe party, it is unlikely that he could have generated the kind of attention he has gotten or the heightened

level of interest from new and disenchanted voters, citizens whose enthusiasm is essential if we are to revive our stagnating democracy. For better or for worse the major political parties provide the only path to victory at the presidential level for the foreseeable future.

Yet for all the crippling polarization in Washington, Democrats and Republicans in Northern New York provide a visible reminder of how citizens can come together on issues such as economic development, infrastructure, and the environment, even if we disagree on other things.

Here in the North Country, party politics is working in ways that it has failed in other places. We have among the highest levels in the nation of voters who cross party boundaries to chose a mix of candidates. And groups such as the Common Ground Alliance in the Adirondacks continue to present a counterexample to the scorched earth politics in our nation’s capital.

As the relative parity between the major parties in our area improves we strengthen the local dialogue even more. We need strong and opposing voices in our politics and the kind of common ground that big tent inclusiveness in these parties can bring. And even on the eve of the 2015 local elections, it’s not too early to work for an expanded voter turnout in 2016.

Matt Funiciello’s 2014 Green Party candidacy in the NY 21st, like that of Bernie Sanders’ current run, generated attention and participation, and now Funiciello has the chance to follow Sanders’ example and bring that energy to a more prominent stage - one with the real possibility of advancement - by seeking the 2016 Democratic line as well.

All candidates for the post, and the political process itself, will benefit.

You have the power, use it

One justice fulfills need

To the Editor: The people of Ticonderoga have the freedom and the right and opportunity to vote for candidates of their choice. There are many reasons why we should get out and vote. The first reason is simply because we can as citizens of the United States of America.

The officials we elect will have a direct impact on our lives. Property owners and renters will be taxed which are decided upon by these elected officials who in turn will decide what services we receive and how much we pay for them. For example, decisions elected officials will make concern our infrastructure which as a maintenance of roads and sidewalks, as well as water service and sewer operations. Our elected officials will decide which direction Ticonderoga will take concerning the police station, fire department and highway department, all of which need repair, replaced or perhaps relocated.

What decisions will the people we elect concerning our young people make to keep them healthy happy, and drug free. After graduation how do we motivate young people to return to live here, and will there be jobs to keep them here in Ticonderoga? The decisions elected officials make today may very well affect the economy of the future.

You have the privilege and the right to get out and vote for the candidates of your choice. Contact your friends and neighbors to remind them to vote on Nov. 3. Better yet, off them a ride if they need it.

You have the Freedom and the Power to Vote. Your Vote Matters!

To the Editor: On Nov. 3, residents of Westport will have the opportunity to vote on a resolution to reduce the number of justices from two to one. Currently, the town employs two justices although one of those positions is vacant. The Town Board has proposed to eliminate one position.

Here are some facts about this proposed change: The Town taxpayers will save money with one Justice. This savings is estimated to between $10,000 and $15,000 per year. This will make a significant difference in staying within the State imposed Tax Cap. It will also save $100,000 to $150,000 over a ten-year period.

The caseload is small enough for one Justice to handle. Eight Towns in Essex County currently have one Justice. These include Schroon, which handled $404,192 and North Hudson which handled $178,227. Westport handles $110,000.

There is no charge back to a Town if another Town has to handle cases because the Justice is not available. This is common practice and happens even in Towns with two Justices.

If the one Justice system, for whatever reason, has problems, the Town of Westport Town Board can at any time by resolution go back to two Justices.

When you vote, please take into consideration this information. Thank you.

Accident waiting to happen To the Editor: I live on one of the more dangerous stretches of County Rte. 12, or Stowersville Rd. NYCO trucks scream around a blind curve in one direction, meeting others of their kind as they come up a blind rise from the other direction. Often five or six trucks pass in a given minute. There’s a huge tree very close to the road that I’ve spent thousands of dollars hoping to save, though it poses a threat to my house, because it also shields me from skidding vehicles that lose control on the curve. One year a propane truck flipped there, necessitating evacuation of anyone within the vicinity. It’s a tree that’s in the county right of way, but only if they feel like taking it down. Otherwise, I was informed, the right of way ends with the pavement.

The thing is, a widow-maker branch has been dangling above the road for the past few months, dropping a bit more every few weeks, posing a lifethreatening risk to the motorist unlucky enough to be in the car it falls on or in front of, as well as to the one (or more) driving unaware in the opposite direction. It’s also directly over my power line. NYSEG informed me they do not take pro-active action to prevent damage to power lines, so they won’t do anything about it. The Lewis Highway Department responded the same way to both my inquiry and one put forth on my behalf by our town Supervisor. So, I thought that as a public service, I’d make use of this forum to alert the NYCO drivers and anyone else who regularly goes that way that none of our public service agencies is looking out for your lives, though they will respond once dispatched to pry you out of your crushed cab. Heads up!

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Dick & Jane Gordie Little

Columnist

A

s I was perusing posts on a social medium page, I developed butterflies in my midsection. A book cover photo transported me back to second grade. Who among my readers does not have memories of “Dick and Jane” in their various iterations?

Some remember the more famous “Dick and Jane” lines from the books. We even recall the names of the characters: Dick and Jane, Baby (Sally), Father, Mother, Spot (the dog), the cat Puff and a teddy bear named Tim. I remember when Spot was actually a cat in my first “Dick and Jane” book.

I looked over my coffee cup and showed Kaye the cover photo. We laughed together and the memories tumbled out, mostly from me. We also remembered that some of our children were introduced to reading via the “Dick and Jane” books right up until they were discontinued in the early ‘70s.

If I had time, I would go upstairs or out into the garage and paw through my collection of ancient school books dating to the 18th century. I wouldn’t be surprised to see my old “Dick and Jane” book along with all the others. It’s probably worth a couple hundred bucks these days. To me, though, it’s worth a million.

I’ll wager you didn’t know the so-called “mother” of the “Dick and Jane” reader had a close connection to Clinton County.

Not this one—Clinton County, Indiana. She was born there in 1889 and, although she was not actually the author, just about everything about the books was conceived by Zerna Addis Sharp, a school teacher and administrator for many years.

The ideas for “Dick and Jane” came along later and we learned through the years that she referred to Dick and Jane as “my children.”

I’m not sure those early readers had a whit to do with teaching me to read. I can thank my mom and dad for reading the Bible and the “Readers Digest” to me before I could walk, encouraging me to love words before I could say many of them aloud. I don’t know how old I was when I could read simple books on my own, but it was before formal school began and that voracious hunger has remained undiminished.

Zerna Sharp left this world in 1981, but “Dick and Jane” are her legacy. Did you know Dick and Jane’s clothes were chosen from the popular store catalogues of the day? I should mention artists Keith Ward and Eleanor Campbell’s simple and distinctive illustrations in the earlier books, because we have them indelibly ensconced in our memories.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention another school reader from the early 1950s. Vanity prompts me to direct your thoughts to “Tommy Little,” and his dog Skip. Of course they weren’t as popular as “Dick and Jane.” After all they were “Littles.”

any full moons ago, my niece, Sydney, cried out, “I want PUMPKIN kinda scary not GHOOSTY kinda scary”!

Well, hold on to your plastic mask little one, because both kinds of freight are close at hand.

Trunk or Treat at Two Locations A “Trunk or Treat” can be a big adventure for a young princess or cowboy.

And parents holding the shaking little hand, appreciate a safe place for them to celebrate Halloween.

It’s a bit like a tailgate party except here you fill up on candy instead of potato salad. “ There is no age limit, everyone is welcome,” said Cindy, one of the organizers of Crown Point’s event, she continued, ”All sorts of people volunteer to be trunk-stops. Some live in the boonies, where they don’t get trick or treaters, others have been part of this tradition for years. If someone wants to hand out treats, great, we would love to have them.” Everyone who wishes to be a stop on the ToT, should decorate their car and bring a pile of goodies.

Both ToTs are on Saturday, Oct. 31.

The Crown Point Park in Crown Point has their car to car candy collecting from 4:30-6 p.m. If you would like to talk with Cindy, call her at 597-3160.

Not to be outdone, the West Chazy Ladies’ Auxiliary is holding a similar event from 5-7:30 p.m. In addition to getting candy corn from the back of numerous parked cars, there are some pretty sweet pumpkins waiting to be carved. AND the Auxiliary is throwing down the gontlet, by offering a cash prize for the best trunk decorations!

It’s time to get out the crepe paper hanging bats-Game on Ladies, game on.

If you want to be part of this hoopla, it’s at 7656 on Route 22, in the town of West Chazy.

Rene Hugus, town council Democratic Party A resident of Cadyville, Hugus has been working as a substance abuse counselor at the Department of Corrections for the last 18 years. On the side, she volunteers as a 4-H leader, is a member of two local horse clubs, is a member of the Catholic Daughters of Americas.

Hugus believes that the incorporation of natural gas would be a positive to the town. The landfill, however, is already there — a situation she thinks should be decided by the taxpayers on whether to haul more waste in.

“I believe that community members and taxpayers should be heard and the town councils should be addressing any concerns they have,” she said. “Communities need to involve their members in town events and be open to ideas community members may have.”

Barry White, town councilman (incumbent) Republican Party

retired after owning his business, Barry White Logging, for 42 years.

He’s served on the town board for three and a half years, keeping an eye on his main concern: taxes.

Other things he plans to focus on if reelected are making sure the highway department has money to maintain the roads and make life as comfortable as possible for the taxpayers.

“I took an oath and it means a lot to me to work for these people,” he said. “That’s why I’m running again.”

George Seymour, town council (incumbent) Republican Party Seymour is married with three children and three grandchildren.

He’s worked in the town’s highway department for 37 years and retired after 15 years as highway superintendent. Since then, he’s been on the town board for eight years.

If reelected, his main priority is to keep the taxes the way they are or lower them.

“I’ve been involved with the town for 40 plus years,” he said.

“I’m interested in the town and serving it.”

“I enjoy the show a lot,” said Hamilton.

This year’s guest chef is Amy Zarichnak, a Pittsburgh native who graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 2014.

Sponsors include Wilson’s Appliance, Kneucraft Fine Jewelry & Design, Price Chopper, Della Auto Group and Lenny’s Shoe and Apparel, who, like last year, will host a fashion show featuring a number of this year’s family-friendly designs.

This year’s installment will feature 43 booths of food producers, craftsmen and other retailers.

Amy Catanzarita, of Altona, would come every year and sit in the same place with her mother, who passed away on Christmas Day 2013.

“In memory of my Mom, it means a lot,” said Catanzarita. “It was the last event we ever did together.”

Mom’s favorite recipe was pumpkin roll rumcake.

“Recipes are always wonderful because they’re just about always something someone sent in,” said Gayle Alexander, the Sun Community News CFO who helped organize the event. “You’ve created a recipe no one else has.”

Taste of Home Cooking School: Sunday, Nov. 1 starting at 11 a.m. In addition to over 40 door prizes, attendees will have a chance to win a half-carat diamond ring from Kneucraft Fine Jewelry and Designs, a $2,000 value; an electric range from Wilson’s Appliance and the dishes made on stage the day of the show

SEFA kicks off its fall 2015 campaign PLATTSBURGH — The State Employees Federated Appeal (SEFA) campaign kicked off on Oct. 9 to all state employees in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton counties.

Sheila Rock, offender rehabilitation coordinator of Bare Hill Correctional facility and SEFA Committee member stated “I am very proud to be a member of the SEFA campaign in conjunction with the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. It is remarkable to be a part of an organization who works endlessly, raising money to help area human service agencies continue their efforts of helping those in need.”

The advantages of SEFA include the opportunity to give through payroll deduction to all the agencies affiliated with the campaign.

The community at large can identify the commitment of state employees more easily than in the past and more dollars reach the services because of the consolidated approach to fundraising.

“The program of giving through SEFA is such a valuable tool we have in our area in order to insure monies are received by local not for profit institutions. Through payroll deduction for New York State Workers, gifts may be maximized as small deductions made over the course of a year add up to a significant gift,” said Ken White, marketing assistant for ORDA and a SEFA committee member. “Often times the employees are unaware of the small stipend collected from their paychecks in order to help someone in need.”

The committee wants to remind the state workers that dur-

ing tough times it’s more important than ever to give.

To have the services available tomorrow, the agencies need the donation today.

Reach out to your facility/agency campaign manager to

find out how you can give back to your community by donating through payroll deduction. Visit the web-site to see a list of agencies www.sefnys.org or call the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. for more information at 518-563-0028.

Police on the lookout for stolen truck filled with motorcycles, ATVs from the dealership.

Here’s the rub on the stolen goods, which have a combined value of $40,000: 2016 Yamaha Grizzly 700 ATV (blue) 2016 Yamaha YFZ 450R ATV (yellow and black) 2014 Suzuki King Quad 750 (camouflage) 2011 KTM 450sx motorcycle (orange) 2003 Suzuki GSXR motorcycle (orange with white flames) The truck, similar to the one pictured here, has New York tags: 75611JT.

PLATTSBURGH — If you see a Pray’s Market truck barreling down the highway, it may not be filled with produce, but rather a cache of stolen vehicles.

It’s a heist right out of a Hollywood script.

Early Sunday, a 22-foot 1991 International box truck was reported stolen from Pray’s Market on Route 3.

At the same time, three ATVs and two motorcycles were reported missing from Lake City Choppers, a nearby dealership. State police believe there’s a connection.

The Griffins struck first on a goal from Ellie Storey in the 9th minute of the game, taking a ball on a break away and scoring just past a diving Madison Gifford.

The Beavers quickly countered with the corner kick goal from Elaina Smith, putting the ball over the outstretched hands of Griffin keeper Malynda Lobdell.

“I wasn’t aiming for the goal, but aiming for Hanna,” Smith said. “But things happen.”

Keene followed up with two more goals from Whitney on an assist from Caitlyn Lopez in the 32nd minute and Caitlyn Lopez on an assist from CarriAnne Stoner in the 61st minute.

Gifford and Lobdell each made four saves in the game.

“The difference in the game was the defense,” coach Jody Whitney said. “They held up really strong today. We need to work hard and focus on our game and winning the ball more for the matchup against Chazy.”

“We need to keep practicing and stay focused,” Smith said.

“We need to keep our intensity for our next game.”

Keene 2, Johnsburg 1

By Jill Lobdell

KEENE — Caleb Cook scored the winning goal off an assist from Ethan Giglinto at 5:45 left in the second half as Keen won its Class D quarterfinal game against Johnsburg-Schroon Lake Friday, Oct. 23.

The sectional meeting between the Beavers and Jaguars was evenly matched throughout the game. The score was 1-1 with goals from Ethan Giglianto (Josh Baldwin) in the 11th minute, followed quickly by a Branden Hall goal (Patrick Reidinger) in the 22nd minute.

Both teams showed off their great defenses.

“It was nice back and forth,” Keene coach Charlie Platt said.

“They played with a really solid defense. It was hard to knock their defense down. Their keeper (Mark Cleveland) was outstanding. We are just happy to come away with two goals and the win. Both teams had great players and they all left their hearts on the field.”

“I feel that the team did really well,” Keene goalie Max Rossi said. “They kept their heads in the game, they got the goal, and they got the win. I want to go all the way.”

“Johnsburg has always given us trouble,” Justin Haverlick said. “Our team spirit and unity helped us pull this win. I’m very eager to play against Northern Adirondack.”

Looking to their game versus Northern Adiorndack Platt said, “We don’t know anything about them. I’m going to be asking the other coaches questions really quick.”

The Bobcats were the lone team to receive a bye into the semifinal round.

“I thought it was hard fought on both sides,” Johnsburg coach Matt Wells said. “We played even both times we played them. They were a little bit better than we were. All the members including the four from Schroon Lake contributed well.

We have a great foundation and room to improve for next year.”

The ‘Burgh Sun • October 31, 2015 | 15

www.suncommunitynews.com

WESTPORT — The Griffins were able to wear down the Panthers, leading to a four goal victory Friday, Oct. 23.

“Crown Point was every bit as dangerous as I thought they would be,” Griffins head coach Paul Buehler said. “We were able to capitalize on some chances.”

Freshman Hudson Stephens scored the opening goal of the game in the 13th minute, but Crown Point battled to keep

within the lone goal through the rest of the opening 40 minutes.

In the 53rd minute, Joel Morris connected off a pass from Colden Blades to give the Griffins a 2-0 lead, followed by goals from Trey Hulbert (Thomas Mero) in the 70th minute and Mero (Skyler Kurth) in the 34th minute.

Sam Napper made five saves for the Griffins, helping to post a clean sheet along with the defensive effort of sweeper Anderson Gay, stopper Trevor Brooks and wing defenders Jeremy Rossi and Wyatt Gough.

Jacob Norton made seven saves for the Panthers.

“I thought we came out strong,” Panthers coach Randy Pertak said. “There was a moment when I think we could have tied the game, but they went down the field and made it a 2-0 game. That was a big moment.”

Chazy 2, Willsboro 1 CHAZY — The Eagles scored twice in the latter stages of the second half to prevent a repeat of the 2002 upset by the Warriors Oct. 23.

After playing 63 minutes of scoreless soccer, Tyler Hicks connected on a goal off a Josh McCauley assist to earn a 1-0 lead. Corey Ryan then tallied a goal with 48 seconds left in the game.

The Ryan assist may have seen like frosting on the cake at the time, but a let down after the goal allowed Zach Pierson to score nine seconds later, cutting the Eagle lead back to just one for the final 39 seconds of play.

Austin Gravelle had not faced a shot on net until the Pierson goal, while Lucas Cross made 16 saves for Willsboro.

LadyÊ WildcatsÊ earnÊ drawÊ againstÊ Keene

By Keith Lobdell

CHAZY — Everything was stacked against the Schroon Lake girls varsity team heading into the season finale Oct. 15 against Keene.

The Beavers were 15-0-0, while the Wildcats were playing without midfielder Abigail Belrose and unable to put starting keeper McKayla Vanderwalker in net. To make matters worse, an injury forced them to compete one player short.

However, the Wildcats battled through 80 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of overtime to force a scoreless tie with the Class D top seed, who finished with the best regular season record in the Northern Soccer League.

“I couldn’t think of a better way to end the season,” first-year Wildcat coach Katie Jenks said.

“Our mantra for the season was Wildcat Pride, and there was no shortage of it that night.”

With Vanderwalker in the field, Jenks turned to Alora Bearor in net, who made 22 saves compared to four by Keene keeper Madison Gifford.

“Alora Bearor, after having only played in goal a couple of games, did an amazing job,” Jenks said. “I think when a player really steps it up, it inspires the rest of the team.”

In doing so, the Wildcats were able to keep the top scoring duo in Division III - Hanna Whitney and CorrieAnn Stoner, out off the sheet.

“Honestly, our main game plan against Keene was to go in with the attitude that we had nothing to lose and we were determined to finish our season strong,” Jenks said. “We had only 10 players because of injuries, so after moving some players around slightly, we found a good emphasis on an aggressive defense where we could pressure Hanna Whitney more, without sacrificing too much of our offense. But what really kept us in the game was the girls’ relentless determination not to quit and to keep giving it all they had. Not an easy task through one hundred minutes of soccer without subs.”

Chazy 4, Johnsburg 1

By Keith Lobdell

CHAZY — The sixth seed Lady Jaguars came out strong, but were unable to keep back the wave that was the second seed Lady Eagles Oct. 26.

Khaleah Cleveland was first to find the net as the Jaguar forward took a pass from Megan Bacon and gave them a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute of play.

“It was almost like a wake up call and we knew we had to come back harder,” Eagles coach Karin Sherman said.

The Eagles did just that, scoring four times in the first half and once more in the second.

Natalie Pombrio scored the first two goals for the Eagles, on a Lindsay Gilmore assist in the seventh minute and a Kyra Becker assist in the 17th minute. Pombrio then assisted on a Kendra Becker goal in the 25th minute, as Kendra scored again on an assist by Kyra in the 36th minute.

Bailey Pepper finished the scoring in the 61st minute on a Gilmore assist.

Cassidy Roberts made a late save for the Eagles, jumping to push a ball just over the crossbar to keep a four goal advantage late.

Savanna Berg made 15 saves for the Jaguars, who reached the Class D semifinals in just their second year as a varsity program after scoring a 1-0 defeat over third seed Crown Point Oct. 22, as Bacon scored the lone goal in the win on a Cleveland assist.

“Sheer will and determination,” Jaguar head coach Cindy Homer said about the win. “Our goal was a cross from Khaleah (right side) to Megan (goal center) for a one-touch.”

After falling, 1-0, to Willsboro in their first varsity season in 2014, the win marked the first for the Jaguars in the post season, who previously operated a varsity field hockey program.

The Eagles will know get a third chance to solve the Keene riddle, as the two teams will meet for the Class D title Saturday, Oct. 31, with an 11 a.m. kickoff at Plattsburgh High School.

ClassÊ DÕ sÊ Moriah,Ê TiconderogaÊ boastÊ topÊ recordsÊ inÊ SectionÊ VIIÊ championshipsÊ thisÊ weekend

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

CLINTONVILLE — The eyes of the high school football world will be on the AuSable Valley athletic facility this weekend as three titles will be decided.

The Class D championship game will take place Friday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m., matching the top two teams in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference in top seed Moriah (8-0) and second seed Ticonderoga (7-1).

Games start at noon on Halloween Saturday, Oct. 31, as the Class C top seed Saranac Lake Red Storm playing the AuSable Valley Patriots on their home turf.

At 3 p.m., the Class B championships will feature a matchup of top seed Peru and second seed Beekmantown.

AuSable Valley quarterback William Coats looks up the field.

Class C: Red Storm and Patriots

I

n the opening week of the 2015 season, the Red Storm made their way to Clintonville and scored a 16-12 victory to give them the top seed in the Class C playoffs.

The Red Storm opted not to play during the crossover week, while the Patriots dropped a 30-6 score against Malone.

The game features one of the top quarterbacks in the league in the Red Storm’s Tristan Fitzgerald, while the Patriots are facing a bit of a quarterback controversy as Dalton McDonald started the Malone game over William Coats.

The Red Storm is the defending Class C champion, having defeated the Patriots in last year’s championship game, as well.

Moriah’s Adam Jaquish stands in the pocket with pressure from Brandon McKeown and Ryan Trudeau.

Class D: Vikings and Sentinels

I

n a game many thought might go the other way, it was the Moriah Vikings who struck early and often in defeating the Ticonderoga Sentinels during week three of the regular season, 28-6, with the Sentinels lone touchdown coming on the last play of the game.

Since, neither team has lost, with Moriah and Ticonderoga each defeating Saranac Lake and Peru in a sweep of defending sectional champions.

The game will feature two of the top running backs in the league, as the Vikings will feature Colin Harris while the Sentinels will counter with Brody Rocque. Both teams also have viable second options in the run game in fullbacks Cody Stockwell and Ryan Trudeau.

The biggest difference offensively comes in the air, as the Vikings were one of the top passing teams in the league led by quarterback Adam Jaquish and receivers Taylor Slattery and Jarrod MacDougal. The team has also received aerial help from tight end Noah Gilbo, who has improved throughout the season.

Both teams feature strong defenses, with the Sentinels led by Chase Dixon, Caleb Munson and Jacob Spaulding. Gilbo anchors the Viking defensive 11, while linemen Billy Larrow and Todd Clarke are frequently seen in the oppositions backfield, and Jaquish’s height has led to numerous tipped balls and the pick-six earlier in the season.

“It’s always a big deal when the Sentinels and Vikings get together,” Ti head coach Scott Nephew said. “It does not matter where the game is played or what time of year, but week nine is always the game we both look forward to.”

“This is the best rivalry in the North Country and we know they will be ready to play come week nine,” Vikings head coach Don Tesar said. “We’ll be ready, too.”

Each team handled their Section II crossover opponent in week eight, with the Vikings scoring a 34-0 victory over Broadalbin-Perth, and the Sentinels winning 29-19 against Hoosick Falls.

Ticonderoga’s Haleigh Wright controls the ball against Gretchen Zalis of Seton Catholic in the Class C quarterfinals. The Knights scored a 3-0 victory against the Sentinels.

Class B: Indians and Eagles

T

he championship rubber match between the Indians and Eagles, who have split the past two Section VII titles, will take place as the 3 p.m. game on Halloween.

The two teams met the first week of the season, with the Indians scoring 24 points in the fourth quarter to score a 30-6 victory.

Both teams have worked on their passing game throughout the season, with Jordan Guay coming into his own at quarterback for the Indians.

For the Eagles, the defense has improved throughout the season, holding the Moriah Vikings to 25 points in a game they almost rallied to win during week six, then holding Saranac Lake to just six points and Plattsburgh High to seven in the Class B semifinal.

While Beekmantown played the only semifinal game of the weekend, Peru scored a 34-20 win over Massena Oct 23.

A Clean Kill

Notes from the North Woods Joe Hackett

> Outdoor Columnist

Joe@suncommunitynews.com

Happy hunting

W

ith the annual, Big Game Hunting Season currently underway; it is a good time to review a few of the obvious, common sense precautions that should be practiced by both hunters, and all other woods wanderers at this time of year. Although most hunters prefer to hunt in areas that are far removed from marked hiking trails, there is a high probability that hikers, birders and other non-consumptive users may encounter them at some point along the trail. As a result, it is important for fellow users to make their presence known, and a simple nod, or friendly greeting is usually enough. Hunters typically aren’t very chatty, because they’re usually on their way to begin a hunt.

It is also wise for non-hunters to dress appropriately for the season, preferably in bright colors. Do not dress in brown or tan shades, and leave your long, white scarf at home. At the same time, it is probably not a good time to take your dog on a hike; even though it is perfectly legal to do so. Despite popular claims, it is not legal for anyone to randomly shoot a dog in the woods during the hunting season regardless of the many old wife’s tales that claim the opposite.

At the same time, hunters must recognize it is their responsibility to hunt safely, wisely, and with a wise measure of courtesy. Even though the vast majority of hunters are safe and careful about their public image, it takes just a single incident to paint all hunters with the same brush. While over 1000,000 hikers visit the region annually, and their impact on the trails and surrounding woodlands is significant, the public rarely hears of their misdeeds which range from trashing campsites, starting fires and getting lost. But is always big news when a hunter gets lost or is injured, which fortunately doesn’t seem to happen to often anymore.

Happy Hunter, and Huntress Last year, DEC Wildlife Managers provided hunters with

an opportunity to provide feedback on their hunting experiences in New York state. The effort included surveys that were mailed to a random sample of 7,000 hunters across the state. While the survey sought to obtain specific information regarding the department’s current Buck Management Zones, they also offered valuable feedback on the state of Big Game hunting in the state.

The survey effort provided statistically reliable results that the majority (58% ) of hunters were very satisfied with the hunting opportunities available in New York, while 41% of hunters indicated they were moderately or satisfied with current buck hunting rules. Only 25% of the hunters surveyed, reported dissatisfaction with their opportunity to take a largeantlered buck in the state.

While the Adirondack region does not have an overabundance of whitetail deer, a number of downstate communities have been overrun by whitetails that feed primarily on flowers, ornamental trees and hedges. With an obvious lack of available predators, the deer populations just continue to grow.

Increasingly, female hunters have begun filling the ranks of the hunting fraternity in recent years, to the extent that they have defined a whole new demographic in the field. It appears the influx of women taking to the hunt has made it a much more inclusive activity, especially in the 18-35 age demographic. It bodes well for the future of the sport, as it has been well established that hunters breed hunters.

Keep it Clean I’d like to offer a few words of advice for hunters, and others who enjoy traveling in the big, woods at this time of year. Always know your target, and be prepared to get back out with it, whether it entails dragging out a big buck; or a tired hiking companion. If not, be sure you are prepared to spend the night in the woods. Either way, leave word of your intended travel plans with a reliable friend Be wary! Moose remain a protected species in New York state, and cannot be hunted with anything but a camera. They are large, powerful animals that are capable of covering a lot of ground in a hurry. Be especially careful at this time of year, which is prime breeding season for moose, as they can be very unpredictable.

DEC biologists estimate the current population of moose in the Adirondacks its around 800 animals.

Although most hunters appreciate a clean kill, it isn’t always the case. Even though the initial harvest may have been quick, clean and deliberate process; the job is not over until the meat has been processed.

As we take to the woods in an effort to to put some healthy, Free range, low cholestrol meat in the freezer, we are required by law to remove and care all of the meat. This includes both the edible meat and all of the renderings including the bones, hide, and head. Although most hunters take care to dispose of the unwanted portions properly, there are others who dump them in poorly selected locations. It only takes a few improperly dumped carcasses to to give all hunters a black eye.

I recommend donating leftovers to the Adirondack Wild Refuge where they will be used to provide wolves, eagles and other native wildlife with a truly traditional diet. The facility is located at 977 Springfield Road, Wilmington, NY 12997 Contact them by phone at 518-946-2428 to arrange a drop off.

DEC opens new road and land in the Adirondacks

Thousands of acres of land and miles of roads in the Adirondacks are now open for the big game hunting season, including a new road and conservation easement land opened for the first time this year.
