Whiteface rededicated to 10th Mtn Division By Jon Hochschartner jon@denpubs.com WILMINGTON Ñ Whiteface Mountain was rededicated to World War II era ski troops in the armyÕ s 10th Mountain Division on July 29 in a ceremony held at the resortÕ s base. The site was originally dedicated in 1958. Current members of the division, as well as retired ones, some of whose service dated back to the 1940s, attended. William Morrison, a veteran of the light industry, and president of the Northern New York Chapter of the 10th Mountain Association, was a featured speaker. Ò This year is the 71st birthday of our favorite division, created on July 15, 1943,Ó Morrison said. Ò IÕ m not sure what we were thinking that day. But IÕ m certain at the back of our minds, we all wondered about our military future, when and were we would join the war.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Adirondack Regional Airport will receive $632,610 in grants to boost their infrastructure. Awarded by the DOT, the grants will be used to expand the aircraft rescue and firefighting building and the snow removal equipment building. Airport Manager Cory Hurwitch said the airport mapped out the expansion plans with outside consultants several years ago. Ò ItÕ s congested here,Ó he said. The new expansion will roughly double the facilityÕ s size. The next phase of the twopart project is to apply for a grant that will allow the actual construction of the building. In a news release, Hurwitch commented that the upgrades are also important for managing the facility during the winter. Ò With the temperatures we get up here, especially this winter, many mornings we have to spend a lot of time just getting our equipment started. Moving the safety and snow removal equipment inside keeps it lasting longer and makes it easier to maintain.Ó The Adirondack Regional Airport is a public airport that spans nearly 1,500 acres and maintains 6,573 feet of asphalt runway. The facility runs commercial service to Boston three time daily through Cape Air in addition to general aviation traffic ranging from small single engine aircrafts to 757s chartered by corporate clients and businesses. Traffic is unpredictable. “We could have five per day during the summer or none at all during the winter,Ó said Hurwitch. Maintaining and upgrading the airport facilities can have a ripple effect in the region, he added. Ò This has a big impact on CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Annual fair to boast expanded midway, local breweries By Pete DeMola

FUN, GAMES, RESPONSIBILITY
WESTPORT Ñ Area residents, farmers, agricultural workers, business owners and entertainers will congregate on the fairgrounds overlooking Lake Champlain for the 166th time this week for the annual Essex County Fair. This yearÕ s festivities are notable for several new additions. ALCOHOL ItÕ s going to be a wet one. Essex County lawmakers approved a measure earlier this year that would allow alcohol to be served at the county-owned facility to fairgoers, mainly as a vessel to showcase local breweries and vineyards Ñ not as a magnet to attract inebriates. Ò The long-term goal is to give local breweries and wineries the opportunity to exhibit their products, just like anyone else,Ó Westport Supervisor Dan Connell said. The process will be strictly regulated from purchase to consumption, he said. Merchants will be relegated to the upper part of the fairgrounds; a card reader will scan licenses to match photos with cardholders to prevent chicanery. Patrons will be limited in the number of drinks and no outside beverages will be allowed on the fairgrounds. Officials also hope to showcase vineyards from different counties each year. This yearÕ s slot has been awarded to Hid-In-Pines in Morrisonville and PlattsburghÕ s Everett Orchards Farm Market and Cidery. LOCAL FOOD Fairgoers will also get a sticky dose of sap through this yearÕ s maple theme. Fair Secretary Bertha Rand said to expect a presence of various maple products, from cuisine to demonstrations at the facilityÕ s recently-renovated sugar house. This yearÕ s featured business is the Parker Family Maple Farm, a West Chazy-based operation that has been in the maple business since 1889. Ò We wanted to support the maple industry and show that this is whatÕ s happening in Essex County,Ó Rand said. Rand stressed horse and cattle shows continued to be the pri-

mary focus (pigs will not be displayed this year due to a virus) with an emerging emphasis on local agriculture. Ò The interesting thing is that our farms are becoming less dairy and more veggies and food products,” she said. “We’re figuring out a way to showcase that type of farming.Ó The fair board encouraged regional agricultural merchants to set up displays that will steer fairgoers to their farms and businesses. Adirondack Harvest, the Cornell Cooperative Extension offshoot that aims to boost local products, will host a Taste of the Adirondacks tent daily from 2-4 p.m to showcase selected products. Those include habenero mustard from Boquet River Jelly Mill, rhubarb butter from Adirondack Rhurbab Traditions and a spread of cheddar from a pair of Chateaugay-based manufactur-
Access to an expanded carnival with unlimited rides is included in admission ticket. Keeghan Nolan, a Vermont native who is now recording in Nashville, will perform on Wednesday, Aug. 13. On Friday, HaulinÕ Junk, a Burlington-based scrap hauler, will facilitate a Figure 8 competition that will see compact cars tearing around a racetrack while Saturday will see racers attempting to destroy one another in the demolition derby. Linda Gillilland, a resource educator with the 4-H educational youth development program, said her organization seeks to instill values in young participants through their projects. About 80 kids will undergo a double-pronged presentation process. The first, on Aug. 12, is internal and their projects are judged on the Danish system, one that looks at the merits of each undertaking, which may range from birdhouses to quiltmaking, on their individual merits. The following day, participants are judged against everyone else as a group. Kids will also participate in a long-running tradition: running a dairy bar, something that Gillilland said aims to give adolescents soft skills like taking orders and delivering items. More importantly, she said, 4-H teaches socialization. Ò They work with other kids from across the county, kids they donÕ t have exposure to,Ó she said. Ò They learn responsibility and acceptance of their personal actions. Ò They may have been frustrated by building birdhouses, for example. But then they do it again and make it better.Ó She also stressed the virtues of teamwork. Ò The best fairs weÕ ve had when we have a disaster.Ó She cited a torrential downpour one year that forced kids to work together to bail out a flooded horse barn. Ò The dairy kids went down, saw the horses standing in water and started digging trenches and getting them out,Ó she said. Ò In adversity, they work together and communicate well.Ó Gillilland called the fair a crucial element of the countyÕ s history. Ò This is the tie that binds people and communities for generations.Ó

Ebola makes its way to the U.S.
W
hen does the possibility of saving one life justify putting hundreds, if not thousands, of others at risk? In this weekÕ s most disturbing news story, the death toll from the recent outbreak of Ebola in West Africa is climbing steadily toward the 1,000 mark. Doctors and nurses from around the world, including the United States, are flocking to Africa with a myriad of resources to combat the disease. They are willingly putting themselves in harmÕ s way in order to help their fellow man. Their actions are certainly commendable, and they should be supported in any way possibleÉ except one. Recently, two Americans who trekked to Africa in this wave of humanitarian relief, one doctor and one missionary nurse, were reported to have contracted the nearly incurable disease. Almost immediately, the United States government and the American medical community undertook a rescue mission in which the two were brought back to the United States to undergo state-of-the-art treatment at a U.S. hospital in Georgia. Why? Ebola is 90 percent fatal and is spread by touching an infected person. It has an almost a 100 percent transmission rate if there is even the slightest accidental skin-to-skin contact. One thing that is known to keep Ebola from spreading: having an ocean between an infected person and an uninfected continent. Why would American medical and government officials knowingly put the lives of Americans at risk by bringing two infected people back to America? Is it to show the world how great our medical establishment is? Is it to show that no matter the cost, we never leave an American behind? Neither of these “reasons” justifies the risk of even one American who did not choose to go into an infected region of the world and risk the consequences. In Africa, the first thing done when there is an Ebola outbreak is to quarantine the entire hospital where the outbreak occurs. How arrogant are the Americans behind this little adventure to feel that we are above the law, so to speak, and not subject to African quarantine. Let Africans die, we are saying in essence: Americans are much more valuable and canÕ t be left to the same fate as the rest of the regular people. And speaking of value, who is paying for the extraordinary and extraordinarily-expensive rescue mission for these two people? Is the cost being born by the American gov-
ernment, in other words, us? Is the cost being born by the insurance industry, which in the long run, will filter down to us? Either way, we were never asked if we wanted our money to go on such a foolÕ s errand, which is ultimately bringing one of the deadliest diseases known to mankind to our shores. How many supplies and treatment facilities could those millions of dollars spent on specially-equipped jets and the like bought? How many Africans, or other missionaries or health care professionals, could that money have saved? If saving lives was the true goal and not just flexing American muscle on the world stage, then those two Americans would be receiving their treatment, like hundreds of Africans, in Africa where they willingly chose to go. Speaking of saving lives, how much food would that money have been able to purchase? Yes, in the past couple weeks, nearly 1,000 people in Africa have died from Ebola. How many have starved to death in that region in those same two weeks? For that matter, how many American children have gone to bed hungry in those two weeks? Once again, our foreign policy is being pushed by the media and by the catchiest headline. Starving children in AfricaÉ thatÕ s not sexy enough. American doctor contracts EbolaÉ now youÕ ve got something! And what about the Christian missionary nurse who also contracted Ebola? Would it be too jaded to think that if she were the only American to have contracted the disease, and not a doctor as well, that she would still be in Africa, dying? Thousands of American missionaries still crisscross the globe, living with and treating poor people in numerous countries around the world. Some, probably many, get sick in these far flung outposts. Some probably even die. Can anyone remember a million-dollar rescue mission to save one of these missionaries? Yes, itÕ s good to be an American, but itÕ s even better to be an American doctor. Even while this is being written, a hospital in New York City is treating a patient with Ò Ebolalike symptoms.Ó As with the SARS outbreak in Mainland China and Hong Kong a few years ago, it is probably impossible to keep a disease like Ebola isolated to one continent in the travelfriendly world in which we live now. ThatÕ s no reason though to tempt fate and intentionally bring that disease to American shores. If this leads to an outbreak here, hopefully those responsible will be called to task.

Letters to the Editor
Back country rescue a success To the Editor: At approximately 6 p.m. on Sunday, July 27, the Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency responded to an ATV accident in the Town of Lewis. The accident was several miles in the woods requiring mutual aid assistance from several departments. The call was handled extremely well by responders from the staging site at the road to the patient miles in on a 4 wheeler trail. I was proud to work with such a great group of people. The responders were caring, compassionate and very respectful of each other. On behalf of our Emergency Squad, I would like to thank the following agencies and individuals: Lewis Fire Department members: N. Gough, T. Pulsifer, K. Jaques and M. Denton; Keene Fire Department members: D. Downs, Ry. Hall, B. Tansey and I. Hall; Westport EMS members: Ju Napper, H. Napper, D. Napper, R. Schrieber, Ja. Napper and B.

Choir Camp a Huge Success To the Editor: During the final weekend of July, a delegation of boys and young men from All Saints Church in Dorchester, MA, participated in their second annual choir camp at St. JohnÕ s Episcopal Church in Essex. They practiced diligently each morning and then played just as hard with members of the congregation each afternoon. The participants of the choir camp are trained musicians ages 11 through 17 who practice twice each week at their home church, learning vocal skills; reading and interpreting choral music and singing in several languages as they prepare music for their Sunday service. Under the guidance of their talented director and organist, Andrew Sheranian, they may join the choir in elementary school and continue into their adult years. As those who attended church at St. JohnÕ s on July 27 will attest, the beauty and inspiration of their music is heavenly. The education, training and discipline that guide the choir members is evidenced in their lives as well as in their musical expertise. The boys are delightful, cooperative, polite,and eager. Their enthusiasm was evident as they engaged in many Adirondack activities while visiting, from kayaking, motor boating, sailing, and swimming in Lake Champlain to hiking Coon Mountain, rafting through the AuSable Chasm, exploring the Underground Railroad Museum and enjoying the Sunday evening concert of Meadowmount students. Each evening, members of St. Johns and the choir members shared an evening meal and Compline service at the home of one of the Essex residents and then retired to the homes, where church members hosted the young musicians. Anyone interested in more information about this event is invited to contact Carole Harsh at 518-962-8642 or harshck@westelcom.com. Carole Harsh Essex
“Us: A Local Swimming Hole” To the Editor: Fifty years ago this summer, in 1964, five local boys, aged 1213, sat on a very large boulder overlooking a section of the Boquet River just outside of Elizabethtown off Route 9N. It was a beautiful summer night nearing dusk. The boys talked about the enjoyment they had swimming and fishing there the past few years and how much it meant to them all. One of the boys said, Ò LetÕ s give it a name.Ó After five-or-so minutes of deliberation, one of the boys said, Ò How about calling it Ô UsÕ for us and our friends and relatives and all who come to fish and swim here? It was unanimous. All five boys agreed. It was a simple name, yet included all that would swim there and hopefully enjoy the
swimming hole and its beauty. The boy that gave Ò UsÓ its name was our good friend and country brother, Henry Kurtenbach. His boyhood friends were Bill Dougan, Paul Mosseau, Alan Mowery and Barry Rauch. They all remain good friends to this very day. Sadly, Henry passed away several years ago, the cause being cancer. Many people have swam there over the years, hopefully enjoying it as much as those five boys did 50 years ago! Four of us remain today in our early retirement years and three of us saw each other over EÕ town Day Weekend. We had attended the wake and funeral of our longtime friend, Mal Hackett. Melancholy and tears set in as we spoke of our town, our friends and relatives who have passed; those we still like and love to see when we are in town. The good memories of youth, friendship, an enduring kinship and yes, of a place called Ò Us.Ó One of the Five Boys, July 24, 2014
Article appreciated To the Editor: Thank you for the great article regarding the restoration of the broken headstone for the Civil War veteran from Willsboro. As a genealogist, I would like to add the following details: Oakey HALE Smith was the son of Emily Jewitt Rowley, who was the daughter (one of seven daughters) of Daniel Rowley I and his wife (second) Abelena Saxton Barber Rowley. EmilyÕ s only brother was Daniel Rowley II who lived his whole life at Edgewater Farm. Their mother, Abelena, was the daughter of a Revolutionary War Patriot Frederick Saxton who drowned in Lake Champlain in April 1794. Her first husband, Daniel Barber, Jr., and her little son, Frederick Barber, both died in 1801 and she married Daniel Rowley in February of 1807. This couple was given Edgewater Farm on Willsboro Point and her brother Nehemiah, moved back to the Ò homeÓ place in Shelburne, VT. Emily Jewitt Rowley was born at Edgewater Farm on June 10, 1809 and married Lyman Smith there on March 27, 1834. Lyman Smith was the son of Caleb Smith and Sally Reuback. Some family members say that Lyman died from a broken heart, as his death is recorded in November of 1864, at the age of 56. His wife, Emily, lived until age 87 and died on the 13 of February 1897. The family has photos of Emily Jewitt Rowley Smith as a sweet-faced elderly lady sitting in her rocking chair on an outdoor porch. Several of us are searching for a portrait, as was usually made by the soldier going off to war, of Oakley Hale Smith. If anyone in your reading area has an identified photograph of Oakley, we would really appreciate a scan of the image. There are several copies of excerpts of his war diary in existence. It consists mostly of comments on the weather and the excitement of meeting up with other Ô boysÕ from Willsboro. Oakley was age 23 when he enlisted, as a Ò student,Ó and the records indicate that he was Ò tallÓ for his day: 5Õ 7Ó , fair of hair, eyes and complexion.

Supervisor speaks out To the Editor: On 9 July 2014 the Town Board of Willsboro voted to eliminate one of two Town Justice positions. By doing this it would eliminate one Justice and one Justice Clerk. This action is subject to a public referendum, per New York Town Law. One Willsboro citizen has expressed concern on our process and accused the Town Board of practicing a pattern of secretive or closed government. I would like to set the record straight as to the background and reasons I, as Town Supervisor, have pursued this action. In the first place this initiative was not started until after Justice Paye, the incumbent Judge whose term ends at the end of the year, had told us that he was retiring from the bench at the end of his term. Justice Paye is held in the highest regard by the entire community of Willsboro and in Essex County. He has given sixteen years of honorable service as a Willsboro Justice and his experience and learned judgment will be missed. During the March 2014 Town Board meeting I opened discussion on the possible elimination of the Justice position at the end of Justice PayeÕ s term. I wanted to inform the Town Board and the public, and to get Town Board concurrence to proceed toward that end. I openly discussed this initiative with both Town Justices and each of the Town Board members. I sought proce-
dural guidance from the Town Attorney, the County Attorney, and solicited individual members of the general public. My reasons primarily are to provide optimum service under increasingly strict fiscal constraints. Costs for the town are increasing, particularly with a looming sixteen percent increase in employee health insurance premiums paid be the town next year. I believe that the town can well afford to operate with one Town Justice. I have conducted an analysis of the workloads of the by examining the certified work logs provided by each Justice. Currently the Justices alternate weeks of court. Therefore since January of 2014 the Justice and clerk are in court once every two weeks Ð on Thursdays. On court days they spend an average of 4.58 hours conducting court business. This would include prep time, actual court time, and administrative time. Outside of court days, the Justices log an average of 2.58 hours of work per week. Based on this, the Justices log an average of 9.74 hours per pay period. This works out to roughly fifty dollars per hour. If we assumed that one Justice position were to be eliminated as resolved by the Town Board, then the remaining Justice would conceivably absorb the entire case load and would work 9.74 hours per week. On weeks that the caseload did not require a court day the Justice would likely only have to work 5.15 hours. Five to ten hours a week is not an unmanageable number of hours to work for a part time position. How much would the town save by eliminating one Justice? It would first save by a reduction of actual salaries paid. The remaining Justice and clerk would be picking up more work, but would not be paid double of what they are currently making. I estimate we would save at least nine percent in salaries for Justice and clerk positions. Additionally we would save in other costs associated with having extra employees such are required payments into the State retirement system, social security, workers compensation insurance, payroll taxes etc. Additionally we will save in reduced administrative costs of supporting two complete Justice staffs including training costs, travel and meal reimbursements, supplies, and professional literature, etc. I am working hard to ensure that our local government services are provided in the most optimal and cost effective manner possible. I am also endeavoring to provide a budget that will not raise taxes and not diminish services. The citizens of Willsboro deserve this, and I believe two Justices are a redundancy no longer needed. If there is a need neighboring towns can cover court requirements in case the Justice is absent, sick, or has a conflict of interest. Shared services are a much more efficient avenue to ensure coverage than having two Justices in one town. Shaun Gillilland Supervisor, Town of Willsboro
What happened to Open Government? To the Editor: On July 9, 2014, knowing Town Justice Paye is not running for re-election, the Willsboro Town Board eliminated the second Town Justice effective December 31, 2014 as a cost savings measure. Posting a meeting agenda in advance on their website or scheduling a public hearing to solicit comment on this important resolution, would be good Ò open government.Ó They did not do that. If this is the correct decision for the Town, why not hear public comment first? We have little say at the Federal and State levels of Government, but I expected more from our Town Board. A public hearing may not change their final decision, but at least “we, the peopleÓ would be able to speak to the issue. Town Justices are the only elected positions that might personally impact every resident. Residents can be defendants in civil, traffic, or criminal matters. Residents might be the subjects of a wedding performed or be a party to a dog complaint. Then there are the victims, who look to the Town Justice for justice and/or protection. I am confident that Justice Dickerson is doing an excellent job, but he has only seven months experience and is related to many residents, producing many conflicts of interest. There will be additional compensation for his extra workload. The court nights will undoubtedly be reduced from 4 to 2. How much are they saving and at what cost to taxpayer convenience? If you want to know what Town Justice Paye thinks about it, call him. He didnÕ t get to express his thoughts to the Town Board because he was not invited to address the Town Board. Barbara Paye, Willsboro

10th Mountain From page 1
Morrison recalled some of his comrades in the 10th Mountain Division who did not return from World War II. Ò There are two military cemeteries in Italy, one above Anzio and one south of Florence, where some of our friends remain,Ó Morrison said. Ò There, thousands of simple white markers give silent testimony that the price payed per mile was very, very high.Ó Regrettable strategies during the period added to the American casualty total, Morrison said. Ò Frontal attacks up barren hillsides always favor the defender. Unfortunately in the Italian Campaign, there were often very few alternatives.Ó Morrison said many of those in the 10th Mountain Division who had fought in World War II had returned to Italy on reunion trips. Ò The question is why do veterans choose to return to scenes from their wars?Ó he asked. Ò Perhaps itÕ s to briefly relive times in their youth when life was exciting and the future unknown. Or maybe, itÕ s simply a matter of closing down an unforgettable chapter in our lives.Ó Morrison believed the memory of alpine World War II troops would not be forgotten. Ò As long as people ski, the legacy of the 10th will live,Ó Morrison said. Ò A survey of returning veterans revealed that several thousand of our guys got involved in the fledgling American ski industry, giving it a need shot in the arm...there were actually very few ski areas in the U.S. that did not enjoy the enthusiasm and skills of the returning troopers.Ó Colonel David S. Doyle, currently of the 10th Mountain Division, said it was an honor to attend. Ò Today we gather here at the foot of the Whiteface Mountain Ñ and it is beautiful Ñ to look back at our lineage and reflect on the sacrifices and the accomplishments of 10th Mountain Division Soldiers who faithfully served this nation.Ó The 10th Mountain, Doyle said, is the most deployed division in the U.S. Army. “This place where we stand is a fitting tribute to the legends of World War II who defeated the Germans in Italy,Ó Doyle said. Ò Their efforts set subsequent mountain warriors up for success. They led the way for those who then followed and fought in the sands of Iraq during Desert Storm, who persevered in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia, and for those who are part of the post Sept. 11th generation thatÕ s fought in the Iraqi cities and the mountains of Afghanistan.Ó

Fish tales, camp fires and a speckled mousetrap
O
ver the course of the past week, I have stumbled across two unique new experiences that have threatened many of my long held wildwood beliefs. The first occasion was an incident that occurred on a small, local river that still hosts a healthy population of wild, brook trout. Over the years, IÕ ve paddled and fished these waters and taken a fair share of healthy brookies. Most of the fish are released, but on occasion, one or two manage to migrate onto a grate, suspended over the coals of a hardwood fire, where the meat bakes pink, and the tail curls carefully until done. Such was the case on a recent fishing foray, when a young angler hooked into a handsome fourteen inch brookie which weighed about two pounds. It was downright fat for a river fish, so we decided to keep it for the grill back at camp. However, when we cleaned the fish, and inspected the contents of itÕ s stomach, we were both surpised to discover far more than the usual bugs, flies, beetles and minnows that can be expected. There, right in the middle of itÕ s stomach, was a fully developed mouse, long tail, whiskers and all. In all my years of angling in the Adirondacks, from lakes to ponds to streams and rivers, IÕ ve never come across such a sight. Certainly, IÕ ve tossed rubber mice lures to a few largemouth bass, and IÕ ve even watched Northern pike take down a ducking or two. But IÕ ve never heard of brookies eating mice, although it is entirely feasible given the current over population of the long tailed rodents throughout the Adirondacks. In fact, I would propose the state consider stocking all of our waters with a lot more of those mouse-eating, brook trout, as IÕ m getting tired of setting traps every evening.
Proposed campfire ban
From page 1
tourism and second home owners who fly through here. Especially during the summer we see heavy traffic from people coming up to camp at Long Lake, Raquette Lake, coming in for the Iron Man competition and the big CanAm rugby tournament,Ó he wrote. Ò This helps us maintain our infrastructure and provide the services our customers rely on.Ó Ò Local airports like this one are critical for the economy, supporting the continued growth of tourism and commerce in our region,Ó said Congressman Bill Owens, the federal representative who helped lock in the funds, in a written statement. Ò Ensuring that pilots, passengers and staff can use this facility safely has to be one of our highest priorities. This funding will ensure that essential safety measures can be taken in the event of an emergency at the airfield.” Hurwitch said the facility is hopeful that work will start before the end of the construction season this fall.
A recently released management plan for campers traveling in the recently acquired Essex Chain of Lakes Primitive Area will prohibit the use of open fires at established tent sites and any place within 500 feet of a body of water. “Although actual fire sites are usually quite small, a more serious aspect involves firewood gathering, which by itself causes widespread and often severe impacts,Ó states the Essex Chain of Lakes Management Complex Unit Management Plan. Ò This activity greatly increases the area of disturbance around primitive tent sites and it is common that the disturbed area can be 10-20 times greater in size than the actual primitive tent site zone. Campfires consume wood which would otherwise decompose and replenish soil nutrients.Ó According to the Unit Management Plan authors, Ò This is the most effective way to protect the ecologically sensitive areas directly adjacent to the lakes and ponds.Ó While I understand the need for Fire Protection, and an occasional ‘closing of the woods’ during times of high fire danger, I do not believe the matter of campsite esthetics should be use an issue in a location as the Chain Lakes, where human disturbance is not likely to be as great as it has been in the High Peaks Wilderness, where a similar ban has been in place for several years now.

TL • Valley News - 7 The argument just doesnÕ t hold water, as there is so much wood available in an around the Chain Lakes, and all along the access roads. In addition, the draw of the High Peaks Wilderness has and will continue to be much greater than that of the Chain Lakes Primitive Area; which will compete with over a dozen similar canoe areas including the Five Ponds, the St. Regis, Lows Lake, Indian Lake and the 90 mile water highway through the park from Old Forge to Saranac Lake. I do not believe it is possible to enjoy an authentic Adirondack wilderness camping experience when subjected to such absurd manmade rules. Give the campers more credit! Certainly, there will always be an occasional camp-idiot, who cuts down a green leafed tree and tries to burn it. But the same knucklehead would do that in any area, Wilderness, Primitive or at a Pay by the Night State Campground. Try though they may, the DEC simply cannot regulate such campidiots out of the Park. But it appears they may have made the first step at regulating out all of the responsible users. A comfortable campfire has long been considered a crucial component of the American camping experience Fire is a magical element that cares for us in over a hundred ways. It is part of the tradition. For tens of thousands of years, outdoor travelers have used fire for a variety of purposes ranging from cooking to clearing. Fire also provides warmth, security and a necessary source of light against the imposing darkness. Since the times when men gathered around campfires to relate tales of the hunt to the uninitiated, the mystical magic of a flickering flame has provided more than just creature comfort to campers, travelers and wanderers alike. Campfire stories don’t carry much weight when they are related to a group that’s huddled around a flashlight or battery operated lantern. Such contrivances hold little sway against the imagined bears, monsters and boogie men of a camperÕ s dreams. A camp fire provides psychological and physical comfort, and as campers become mesmerized by the flickering light; they often succumb to a drool-inducing, million mile stare that cannot be replicated by any thing man-made. Fire is made with all natural ingredients and it makes us come alive with a flickering, sparking, snapping, cracklin, popping magic that canÕ t be duplicated. The sight of a thousand sparks climbing into the dark night air is as common to campers as the bright stars above. To camp without a fire is to canoe without the water; it can be done but it is an exercise in futility. In more modern times, camp stoves have replaced the wild flames as they are more convenient, and practical for purposes of cooking. But a camp stove is of no use when using a Dutch Oven, or a Reflector Oven. Toasting marshmallows over a gas range just doesnÕ t have the charm aofan open flame. Gas lanterns may provide the necessary light in camp, as do a host of flashlights, candle lanterns and any number of other LED gizmos that can be strapped on, hung from or otherwise scattered about the camp. Yet, there is no psychological glow, just a stark, blank white light. There is no mystery and no scent, nor sound. In fact, electric, and even gas lamps are the antithesis of everything we retreat to wild camps to escape from. We go to rough it, maybe on the easy side for most, but the purpose of camping is to rekindle a more primitive spirit that still remains hidden deep within our souls. We want to recapture that felling, if only for a spell, if only for the night. To deny that privilege is to deny the experience entirely. I go to enjoy a snapping, sparking, barking campfire and the sweet scent of birch bark mixing with the balsam scented air. Small fires are much easier to control and manage. They are useful and not wasteful. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of all campers, who are often out of control, full of the waste they leave behind and typically of no use when they are in the woods. No method of regulation will overcome that attitude, Dude! Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.
