Longtime principal Outdoor bike retiring at end of ranch eyes the school year ways to take fun indoors By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

MORRISONVILLE — Morrisonville Elementary School is losing a familiar face. Principal Bradley J. Ott will retire at the end of the school year this June. The administrator made his intentions known to the Saranac Central School District Board of Education Dec. 1, but it’s a decision that’s bittersweet. The decision to bring to a close his 38-year career with

the district — 21 years of which have been at the helm of Morrisonville Elementary — was prompted by the retirement of his wife, Dolores, a speech therapist of 30 years with Champlain Valley Educational Services in Plattsburgh. When she decided to retire, it left Ott questioning what his next move would be as well. “I don’t believe, realistically, that I could say to this team, that I would commit to three to five years,” said Ott.

Retiring Warming gesture town justice reflects By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PERU — The first of January will mark the start of a new year and the start of a new chapter in the life of the Hon. Peter Keenan. Keenan will officially step down as Peru Town Justice after serving the position for the past 24 years. Earlier this year, the Peru native decided not to seek reelection to a seventh fouryear term, citing a desire to spend more time with family and to simply “not be as tied down.” “I just felt it was time,” said Keenan. “Twenty-four years is a long time.” Keenan found the town See KEENAN, page 8

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com WEST CHAZY — After a successful year of clearing trails and hosting mountain bike races, the Adirondack Bike Ranch works toward moving inside. Bike ranch organizer Paul Maggy is spending the cold winter months turning an old miniature horse arena into an indoor bike park, which is located on the same land as the Adirondack Bike Ranch, at 90 Blue Chip Way. “A year ago we really started planning it, but we actually started putting physical labor into taking it apart, grading it down to dirt, getting it level and ready to start building a ... terrain park about two months ago,” Maggy explained. Maggy’s plan for the indoor park is to have a pump track, which is designed for flow a mountain bike up and over hills and around corners, instead of pedaling, man-made bridges, teeter-totters, and dirt jumps, “Right now we are privately-funded,” he explained. “Everything that we have done has been out of pocket.” However, Maggy is currently awaiting news that could change that. “We have applied for a regional trails program grant through the state of New York,” he said. “We met all the criteria ... and now we are being ranked as far as points on the economy in the area, the need for it, the community’s backing behind it, how much we are working with the community to get it out there.” If approved for the grant, Maggy said they will receive $600,000, which will help speed up the process to completing the bike park. “We’re working on all of this without the grant,” he said. “Because it is still our project, whether we get a grant to do it or not. We’re still working every day to make it happen.” As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Maggy is also looking to the community for more support. “We’ve got to get the community behind us,” he explained. “We’ve got to get See INDOORS, page 12

PLATTSBURGH — Whenever a small business has been in need for the past 25 years, the North Country Small Business Development Center has been there. The center, which was established in 1984, has continued to strive to provide information, technical assistance and training to help small business owners grow their existing business and prospective small business owners to start a new business. Rick Leibowitz, director of the North Country SBDC, said the organization has come far since its inception. The center was created as part of the New York State Small Business Development Center network, first operating out of the State University of New York at Plattsburgh’s Technical Assistance Center. “Now, [the NYSSBDC] has expanded to 24 centers across New York, with 200 counselors providing free and confidential business advice to

small business owners and prospective ones,” said Leibowitz. As a past small business owner, Leibowitz said that kind of resource is a valuable one. “A lot of small business owners have great ideas, have great business concepts, but they only have strengths in certain areas. Maybe they’re strong in the operations of their business or maybe they know a lot about sales but they might be weak in other aspects of the business,” he said. “What we do is we help compensate for their weaknesses. If they don’t know about financial management, we can provide assistance with financial management. If they don’t know how to market their business, we can provide assistance with marketing.” Other issues such as understanding labor laws, personnel management and other aspects of running a small business are ones that can also seem daunting to a new business owner. However, with the SBDC’s assistance, even the most challenging issues can be made less difficult, said Leibowitz. “What I find is there’s a lot of people that just don’t understand these services are available, and one of the reasons is we’re not allowed to market our direct-counseling services,” said Leibowitz. “We can market the training seminars we do ... but I’m not allowed to put an ad in the paper that says “come to the SBDC for counseling.’” The majority of the SBDC’s referrals come from word of mouth, said Leibowitz. Other agencies and organizations the SBDC works with, such as the Plattsburgh-North Country Chamber of Commerce and private lending institutions constantly refer new and would-be small business owners to the center, which Leibowitz said can be a great asset to anyone looking to make their business prof-

itable and sustainable. “There’s a lot to running a business. There’s a lot of aspects and there’s something about getting an objective perspective,” said Leibowitz. “It’s amazing the things we can point out to people, the things they may not see ... There are certainly more businesses out there that can benefit from our assistance.” Though the North Country SBDC can be proud of its anniversary, said Leibowitz, it wouldn’t have been possible without the small business owners themselves, he noted. One business, Big Daddy’s Restaurant in the town of Saranac, is among those who have sought the services of the SBDC. Big Daddy’s owner Katherine Pellerin said she credits the SBDC — in particular business advisor Andrew S. Allison — for helping her understand the requirements of starting her business nearly two years ago. “Andy was just a great help,” said Pellerin. “I wouldn’t have been able to get it off the ground without [the SBDC].” However, Leibowitz said business owners like Pellerin are the ones who deserve the accolades. “I really have to give most of the credit to our clients. They’re the ones who have taken the risk,” he said. “They’re the entrepreneurs who came up with the business ideas and really made things work. They just needed a little bit of support and that’s where the SBDC came in.” The North Country SBDC will host an open house at their office, located at 194 U.S. Oval in the second floor of the OneWorkSource building, Friday, Jan. 8. The event will be held from 1-4 p.m., with a program beginning at 2 p.m. featuring guest speaker Dr. John C. Ettling, president of SUNY Plattsburgh.

New book gives a look at America’s pastime here in the North Country Garrow examines local baseball in ‘The Only Game in Town’ By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com MORRISONVILLE — Robert M. Garrow never wrote a book. That was, until he found a subject that really interested him — baseball. “The Only Game in Town: A Century of North Country Town-Team Baseball 18601960,” is Garrow’s first published work, inspired by the sport that has always been a part of Garrow’s life. Baseball, he said, was something he has known since he was a young boy growing up in the Altona hamlet of Jericho. “I remember being a kid and we would pile into our friend’s farm truck and go out and play these small communities like West Plattsburgh, Cadyville, Lyon Mountain, Rouses Point,” recalled Garrow. “That kind of baseball — town-team baseball — has been a big part of the North Country from the early 1800s right on through.” Though now 78 years old, Garrow said he’s “not old enough” to remember townteam baseball when it really became a phenomenon. In fact, the sport’s popularity started to grow in 1860, which is chronicled in Garrow’s new book. “It was a great spectator sport and really the only game in town for many, many years,” said Garrow. “Sundays were usually the day for baseball. There’d be

picnics with families and bands playing. It was part of a tradition.” Garrow said, in addition to playing the game himself, he remembers his father and brother also playing as he was growing up. “I played myself almost 30 years for or against pretty much every community in the North Country,” said Garrow. “It was such a part of the lives of people even in the smallest communities. In some places, you’d have crowds of people in the thousands come to watch a game.” Town teams saw even greater numbers following World War I and World War II, when men returned home from overseas where they had played baseball in military leagues. “They brought it back and that’s a big reason for a lot of [town-team baseball’s] growth,” said Garrow. “I wanted to capture that.” The labor that went into writing the 214-page book, was a sporadic effort, Garrow said. It involved many hours of researching newspapers and speaking with local historians in his spare time and even taking time to catch up with some old friends — and rivals. “I interviewed a number of individuals I played with back in the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s. And, wherever I could get pictures, I did, and included it all with my writing,” said Garrow.

“It’s been fun. It’s been like a hobby,” Garrow continued, discussing his writing. “It was great just being able to go back and recapture some of the games and get back in touch with the guys I played ball with or played against.” Though the game’s popularity began to diminish in the 1960s, where Garrow’s

book leaves off, there are still friendly rivalries among small teams today, he said. Garrow said he plans to write a second book, focusing on the sport from 1960 through today.

appy New Year everyone, is the list of New Year resolutions stuck on the fridge yet? My resolutions are usually related to exploring tech areas I’m weak in. This year, the area is Voice over IP, or VoIP. Computer networks today are quickly moving toward convergence, which is using one physical network to carry voice and video along with the data it always carried. Converged networks allow organizations to be more efficient and cut costs by not maintaining separate networks for each service. Many networks, including the Internet, are based on packet-switching technologies. Carrying data on the network consists of breaking it into small pieces called packets, sending the packets across the network and reassembling them at the destination. Packets lost in transit are resent automatically as necessary. The process is far more economical than the older telephone circuit-switched technology. Sending documents is simple enough, but what about packetizing the human voice for network transfer? Not only do all the pieces have to arrive, they have to arrive quickly and in the correct order or the result sounds like a really, really bad cell phone conversation. Nothing beats hands-on time when learning something new. To learn VoIP I needed a PBX, a routing switch and some IP telephones. The PBX is basically a PC with special soft-

ware so I built one with spare PC parts and installed the open source Asterisk program. Ebay provided a new Intel routing switch for less than a hundred bucks but IP phones, even used ones are not cheap. My happy ending was provided by the good folks at TwinState who generously donated three brandnew Mitel IP phones. Thank you TwinState! With all the necessary By Ron Poland components and “Learn VoIP” stuck prominently on the fridge, I’m ready to become a better teacher. What’s your technology resolution?

or caregivers planning on traveling with their loved one this winter, a few precautions should be taken prior to hitting the road. Preplanning can make your trip that much more enjoyable. Here are some tips: • Bring along spare parts for equipment, such as extra tubes and valves for oxygen tanks, or inner tubes for wheelchairs, insulin supplies, etc. Pack a spare pair of eyeglasses, too. • At the same time, take care to not overpack suitcases. If your suitcase feels too heavy to carry any distance, you may want to re-pack, eliminating some items. • Consider purchasing traveler ’s checks to carry, in addition to cash. • Plan for the weather you will be traveling in, as well as the weather at your destination. Dress yourself and the person in your care in light layers. • When traveling any distance in the winter, always have a blanket, flashlight, bottled water, and non-perishable snacks packed in the trunk. Make sure cell phones are charged, and don’t forget to pack an automobile-compatible cell-phone charger. • Make sure someone knows your itinerary and travel plans, and if any major detours or delays occur, keep them informed.

• If you are flying and will need special assistance prior to boarding, let the airline know when you make your reservations. This will help you avoid unnecessary delays. • Plan regular stops along the way, to avoid travel fatigue for both you and the person in your care. Even a quick 5-10 minute stop can help rejuvenate you. • Try to keep things fun. Listen to music you both will enjoy. Talk about the different sights you see on the road. Treat the experience as an adventure for the two of you!

Why coupon’s fine print may be your friend

ast week, we discussed how to handle confused cashiers who may try to incorrectly limit our coupon usage in one way or another. The key to eliminating most cashier confusion is to familiarize yourself with the store’s coupon policy, which states all of the store’s rules for accepting coupons. And while it’s true most cashiers are familiar with what kinds and types of coupons the store will accept, there are also times when a cashier may mistakenly inform you the store cannot take your coupons. In my coupon classes, I’ve taught more than 6,000 people to Super-Coupon, and so I’ve heard more than my share of stories of cashier confusion. One common theme has to do with interpreting the fine print on a coupon. If you pick up any manufacturer coupon, either from the newspaper or one printed from the Internet, chances are it contains the wording “Limit one coupon per purchase.” Seems innocent enough, right? But these five little words can often be the source of cashier confusion. To understand why, consider this distinction. Each item we buy is a purchase. Each group of items that we take to the checkout lane and pay for at the same time, as a group, is a transaction. So, when a coupon’s fine print states, “Limit one coupon per purchase,” what it effectively means is “Limit one coupon per item purchased.” (In fact, many coupons now contain this updated wording, which makes the meaning much clearer.) So, if a coupon is limited to “one per purchase,” it simply means we can use one coupon per item purchased. If I purchase 15 items, I can use 15 coupons — one for each item I’m buying (and I often do!) But cashier confusion frequently arises when a shopper uses several like coupons to buy several like items. For example, if I’m buying two bottles of juice and I have two $1 juice coupons, occasionally a cashier may say, “I don’t

think you can use both of these coupons, because they’re one per purchase.” The easiest response? With a smile, ask, “How many bottles am I purchasing?” If you’re purchasing two, you can use a coupon on each. If you’re purchasing three, you could use three coupons, and so on. In this case, the cashier is confusing the “per purchase” wording with the “per transaction” wording. By Jill Cataldo Coupons that state, “Limit one coupon per transaction” are typically store-issued coupons. This wording is commonly seen on coupons like “$5 off a $50 purchase” or a store’s coupon for a deeply discounted item. Stores use the “one per transaction” wording to limit your purchase in some way. In the case of coupons offering money off your purchase, the store simply doesn’t want you to use multiples of that coupon in the same transaction. Or, they may be offering you a coupon for a special loss leader, like a dozen eggs for 49 cents, but they only want to allow you to purchase one of that item per transaction. Knowing the difference between a purchase and a transaction can help you alleviate one of the most common sources of cashier confusion.

Where do those holiday traditions come from?

hen it comes to the holidays, there are many traditions we wonder how we ever started. One I often wonder about is the hanging of wreaths. It turns out this tradition is centuries old, but every holiday season it renews itself. Most wreaths are circular, and the circle has long been symbolic of the unbroken span of eternity, as well as the circular nature of life itself. Used in mid December at the time of the Winter Solstice, the circle symbolizes the certainty the endless cycle of seasons will once again bring the return of light. The ancient Romans decorated their homes with greens for the mid-winter feast of Saturnalia, while early Germanic people used wreaths of greens for their winter celebrations, sometimes combining them with candles to evoke images of light. Scandinavians had similar winter customs. As Christianity spread through the Roman Empire and across Europe, the new Christians combined wellloved older customs with Christian celebrations to form the basis of today’s holiday traditions. The act of hanging wreaths and greens was not always without controversy. In the 1500s, Protestant reformer John Calvin condemned the frivolity that accompanied Christmas and

other holiday celebrations, and his spiritual descendants, the Puritans, did the same in England and in the early colonies. But, by the late 1800s, the idea of marking the Christmas season with feasting, celebration and decoration had taken hold and the tradition of wreath hanging survived. Whatever the decorations, wreaths are the perfect symbol of the personal, spiritual, traditional, contemporary and, above all, festive spirit of the holidays. If you purchase a fresh, evergreen wreath this season, give it a shake to see if the needles fall off. A few needles are fine, but if a lot fall off the boughs are not fresh and the wreath will not last as long. Once the wreath is brought home, place the wreath away from any direct heat sources. A fresh wreath will last for a few weeks inside and a few months outside!

Market Basket are down for the month, year

ue to the traditional sales on food items for the Thanksgiving holiday, November ’s Market Basket prices came in at $95.52, down from $96.79 in October, and down 3 percent from last November ’s cost of $98.20. Prices were down on produce, frozen foods, drinks and miscellaneous items in November. Prices were stable on canned goods and breads, cereals and grains and up slightly on meats and dairy products. For the year, produce, breads, grains and cereals and dairy items are down significantly. Dairy prices had a slight increase overall for the first time in many months, but are still down on every item for the year with a 17 percent overall decline during that period. Canned goods remained stable overall with a decrease in the price of Green Giant peas offset by an increase in the prices of store brand diced tomatoes and StarKist tuna fish. Canned goods are the only category with no price change since November 2008. Sales on store brand sugar and flour for holiday baking helped drive the total for breads, cereals and grains down for the month. The price of store brand white bread is down 26 percent and spaghetti 19 percent for the year, while Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are up 18 percent. The total for the items priced in the produce department

Planned Parenthood supporters recognized

STAIRS GOT YOU DOWN? YOU NEED A STAIRLIFT!

$2675

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Three local supporters of Northern Adirondack Planned Parenthood were honored during a breakfast held by the nonprofit organization at The Burgundy Room Dec. 16. The honorees were Karen Case of Plattsburgh, recipient of the Cyndi Topnick Pink Boa Award; Harold Brohinsky of Plattsburgh, Voice for Choice Award honoree; and Dr. Lynda Ames of Port Kent, winner of the Volunteer of the Year Award. Case was honored for her work as a nurse midwife. In the citation prepared by Martha E. Stahl, NAPP’s director of external affairs, Case was applauded for advocating “for her patients’ reproductive needs on a daily basis.” “Karen exemplifies calm in any situation and uses her intelligence and humor to educate and care for her families,” said Stahl. “I’m thrilled. Cyndi was a very dear friend, so to walk in her shoes is an honor,” said Case. Brohinsky was recognized for using community forums “to express support for prochoice issues,” most prominently by writing a twicemonthly pro-choice column for the Press-Republican for six years. “Harold’s progressive viewpoint on a broad range of topics, from free speech to defense [and] reproductive rights, was always refresh-

ing,” said Stahl. “I was, of course, very surprised,” said Brohinsky. “I feel like I should be here honoring the people working for Planned Parenthood instead.” Ames was honored for more than 10 years of being a “friend and supporter” of NAPP. She was credited for working with the organization’s Sexual Assault Services programs as an administrator of a grant to reduce

sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. “[Ames] ensures that patients are able to enter the center as comfortably and safely as possible given the increasing anti-choice presence outside our front door,” stated Stahl. “Not only has Lynda stood at the front lines, she has restructured the role escorts play.” “With her kind and calm-

ing nature, Lynda is a welcoming and strong presence, and we are proud to have her join with us in protecting access for the men, women, and teens of the North Country,” Stahl continued. “Planned Parenthood does wonderful work and we all need to support them and to get this award is a surprise and an honor,” said Ames.

justice system at a time when he was looking to get politically involved in the town. There were no town council positions available for him to run for during that election season, so, he set his sights on the judicial bench. “I decided I wanted to get involved and at that time it was the only position available on the Democratic slate,” he said. However, Keenan’s decision to run for town justice wasn’t an arbitrary one. Having retired six years prior as a correction officer at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora — a career which spanned 26 years — and with a degree in criminal justice from Clinton Community College, Keenan felt he had the background to serve the position. “It was still always a learning experience,” said Keenan. “Each time there was a case, you got a little more insight.” There were many difficult cases over the years, said Keenan. The occasional murder case, which eventually moved on to a higher court, and cases involving youths were ones which didn’t sit well with Keenan. However, when youths who committed crimes made efforts to change their ways, he said that was one of the greatest things to see during his time on the bench. “When you would see young fellows come back and thank you for coming down on them and change the direction they were heading, that was something. And, it did happen,” said Keenan. “Unfortunately, we did have a lot of cases like that in this town, but when you do send a few to jail and that wakes them up. They realize that’s not what they want to do.” “It doesn’t turn them all around, but it’s nice when you see the ones it does and they come back to tell you that,” he added. What Keenan will miss most about being a town justice is the people, he said. Dozens turned out to surprise him with a retirement party at Cricket’s Restaurant Dec. 16. Those who were there or who sent him well wishes are the ones he’ll miss, he said.

“And, of course, my court clerk,” Keenan said, referring to Donna Redden, who has served with him all but about nine of his 24 years. “She’s been a big help to me and she made my job so much easier. “ As for his retirement, Keenan said he has no formal plans other than to spend more time with family, including his wife of 53 years, Maryann. “It’s just time not to be tied down for once,” he said. “Maybe in a few years, I might change my mind. But, for right now, it’s just time to not be tied down.” James P. Kirby, who was elected by the voters in November to succeed Keenan, will assume the role of town justice Jan. 1.

Ott From page 1 Rather than continuing in his position on a year-to-year basis, Ott felt it was only right to “sprint to the end,” he said. Though Ott has another six months as principal, he said his mind is far from what he’ll be doing once he leaves his office for the last time. “We’re going to approach this year like we have every other year, with every intention of being better tomorrow than we are today,” said Ott. The work he has done and the work done by his staff — whom Ott said he mainly credits for helping students achieve success — is far too important to stop now, he said. Most recently, Morrisonville Elementary received recognition from the Supporting Successful Strategies to Achieve Improved Results Project, also known as S3TAIR. It was earlier this year when the statewide initiative identified Morrisonville Elementary as a school that has “implemented and sustained curriculum that aids students with disabilities.” The school’s accolades under Ott’s watch have also included Congressional recognition by

former Rep. John M. McHugh for the school’s active contributions to the community since a flood ravaged the hamlet in 1996. “We have been recognized on the national level, state level for all the work we’ve done,” said Ott. “I’m very proud that’s continued and that it’s engrained in our expectations and part of our tradition.” “The expectations at our school are very high,” Ott continued. “Our intention is to be the finest school of our kind in New York State. We’re not competing with our sister school in Saranac; we’re not competing with Plattsburgh or Peru. We are competing with ourselves to be better tomorrow.” While many school administrations push for higher test scores and put the emphasis on a grade versus the overall educational experience, Ott said what’s important is the environment in which a child learns. “The data will come if you’re doing things fundamentally well and if you have people of character — high charac-

ter,” said Ott. “And, I define character as the implementation of the will. It’s combining a mental toughness with a sticktoitiveness to a vision that you share.” “We have lots of characters here,” Ott added, starting with a laugh, “but many of them are high character and they give the children of this community every day a superior day.” When he leaves his post at the end of the school year, Ott said he knows whomever his successor is, that person will be in good hands. “I’m proud of the staff I found when I came here and I’m proud of the staff I’ve been able to recruit,” said Ott. However, most of all, Ott said the real treasure his replacement will find will be the children of Morrisonville Elementary. “Every morning, I say good morning to [the students]. Every morning, I’m there,” said Ott. “I don’t want to say goodbye. I really don’t. June will be tough ... but if I only stay because I want to stay, then that would be selfish.”

Knight Automotive employees give to The Christmas Bureau PLATTSBURGH — Employees at Knight Automotive traditionally draw names each December from a hat and play “Secret Santa,” exchanging gifts with each other. However, this year was different. Employee Terry Relation offered a suggestion to the business’ owner, Rich Knight, to forego the tradition and, instead, give toys to The Christmas Bureau, a nonprofit organization which gives toys, clothing and other gifts to low-income families at Christ-

mastime. “People in our area are hurting, and this small gesture will brighten up Christmas morning for some local families, and that feels good,” said Knight. “The idea coming from an employee, and being immediately embraced by everyone, is very gratifying.” The Christmas Bureau received a shopping cart filled with toys and two bicycles Dec. 18.

SATURDAY December 26, 2009

You can’t eat the antlers I

My cousin, “Lieutenant Dan,” poses with a young spike he filled the freezer with this season, lending credence to my theory that it’s not always about the rack.

was a just a young chap barely knee high to a duck when I first was extended the privilege of accompanying a deer hunt with my father and uncles. True to form, my uncle Eddie dropped a stunning 10pointer on the second drive and we began the ritualistic trip over the river and through the woods to grandmother ’s house where we hung our deer for aging. Along the way, as I recall, we made a quick stop for some road Pepsis and a group of lookyloos wandered over to admire the slammer rack that peaked over the side of the pickup bed. “Nice deer,” one of them exclaimed, then turned and congratulated my uncle. Ed spun and without skipping a beat said, “Don’t congratulate me, congratulate the deer — he grew ‘em.” Interestingly, in this age of record-bookkeeping, antler restrictions, selective harvest and land management depicted on popular television shows, I think some have lost sight of one simple fact: deer are tasty. Our forefathers hunted not for the trophy rack or bragging rights but rather to put nutritious, high-protein food on the table. Most would roll over in their grave to see Michael Waddell let a 140 class walk by because it wasn’t a “management buck.” I have a real problem with trophy hunters — I have no qualms saying it. I find it disheartening that some place more value on the trophy than the meat. In my mind, if you aren’t in it for the latter, it gives true hunters a bad name. It also is not always what’s best for the herd as a whole. Shooting an animal to put the antlers on the wall is no different than cutting them off in the woods and leaving the meat to rot.

Aged traditions of crews butchering their own deer and dividing the meat have, in some cases, been replaced with dropping the deer at the taxidermist and piling the leather-like meat in the freezer bottom ‘til it’s gangrene. I remember a recent conversation between a longtime hunting chum and one such hunter who was boasting about letting an 8-pointer walk by because it wasn’t worthy of the wall. “Guess you didn’t need the meat,” he said. Amen to that. Don’t get me wrong — I begrudge no one a trophy set of antlers and have taken tremendous pride in dropping several sets of my own. But, that, in my mind, should be the icing on the cake, not what defines the hunt. And, no one should be apologetic for filling the freezer — as long as they do it legally and need or enjoy the meat. I was reminded of this the other day when my cousin Danny entered a small spike horn he shot this season in a “monster rack” competition at a popular local radio station. He entered it not because it had a chance of winning, but because he shot it after his young son, Hudson, spied the small buck and pointed it out to his dad. It was Hudson’s first time hunting and he is now hooked for life, my cousin said. “Besides,” Danny said, “You don’t eat the antlers ... they just help stir the stew.” Priceless.

Indoors From page 1 people actively knowing what mountain biking and biking in general can do to your general health and overall health of the community.” “We are trying to open up a whole new industry in the area,” he added. “Which would be a year-round recreational use.” Maggy hopes to have the bike park complete by the end of the winter, so people can start practicing for the warmer months. “It’ll be a lot of interconnecting bridges and network trails that will be indoors with different skill levels,” Maggy explained. “Working on all these skills this winter will keep everybody in a lot better shape and ready to ride in the spring. That’s kind of what we’re looking for.” The Adirondack Bike Ranch will be one of the first mountain bike trail systems to have an indoor bike park in the country. Currently, there is a bike park in Ohio, Maggy explained, however it is privately-owned. The other park, which is not completed yet, is in Colorado, and is a city project. “This is going to be the only indoor and outdoor, having both in one spot,” Maggy said. “It’s on a different scale, what we’re doing. We’re trying to put this together in this area, grassroots, do it on our own.”

Although West Chazy may not seem an obvious choice for a mountain biking destination, Maggy feels its location has a lot of perks. “This is my parents’ property. This is family land that has been in the family for along time,” Maggy said. “The property itself lends itself to mountain biking perfectly, being the terrain is varied. Uphill. Downhill. There’s not a lot of level riding. It’s a true mountain bike landscape.” Maggy added he believes it will also draw people from Vermont, New Hampshire, Albany and Montreal. “Especially in the winter, being there is no riding in the North Country or the Northeast in the winter time,” he said. “There’s enough people that ride in that larger area that probably wouldn’t mind traveling for a really nice indoor terrain park.” Maggy is looking for any volunteers to help build bridges for the indoor park. “If we could get two or three good work days, we could have the indoor bike ranch ridable and people could come up here and start riding,” he said. For more information about the bike ranch, visit www.adkbikeranch.com, call 605-2474, or e-mail info@adkbikeranch.com.
