ADK Sportsmens Dinner on tap this weekend Coming to Schroon March 12 By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON LAKE — Attention sportsmen — the “best sportsmen’s dinner event in the North Country” is right around the corner. Outdoor enthusiasts can say goodbye to cabin fever by joining hundreds of other like-minded people at the 21st annual Adirondack Sportsmen’s Dinner, March 12, from 9:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Mountainside Bible Chapel, 165 State Route 9, Schroon Lake. Along with being known as the “best sportsmen’s dinner event in the North Country,” the event also helps mark “the first sign of Adirondack spring,” Organizers said. The day is packed full of outdoor related seminars, great food, exhibits, prizes and the gospel message shared by this year’s keynote speaker, Randy Flannery, master outdoorsman of Wilderness Escape Outfitters. “Everybody attending has the opportunity to fill their cup with knowledge,” said Flannery. Admission is free; the event is donation supported by locally and regionally owned businesses as well as churches and individuals. Sportsmen must be 12-years-old or older to attend. Tony Tenda, event coordinator, said they’ve never charged admission to this event because they believe sharing the gospel, which is their main mission, should be free. “For 21 years, we’ve had 500 people hear the clear message of the gospel and that’s why we do it,” Tenda said. Tenda said there’s a lot of hard work and

preparation before the event, but the actual day of the event is a lot of fun. To kick it off, registration opens around 9:45 a.m. There will be display tables set up around the gym featuring outdoor related businesses and information for hunters, anglers, hikers and more. Tenda said this is a perfect time to mingle and enjoy the provided snacks before the seminar sessions begin at 11:15 a.m. During the first session, attendees will have the opportunity to choose from several different seminars. New this year is Kyle Scheffler from Orvis Manchester Outlet. He will give a seminar on different fish species in the great lakes and its tributaries. He’ll cover topics like spawning runs, proper tackle, fly-fishing techniques and more. After the first session, an Italian-style meal will be served… baked ziti, garlic bread, salad and desserts. During that time there will be a “pass the hat” donation collection for anyone who wishes to donate to the event. The second seminar session will take place following dessert. Tenda said some of the speakers have been coming for years and are very popular. Among them are Marty Simon who has been doing a survival seminar every year. Gary Hodgeson also comes back every year; he is a retired forester from Lake Placid who will give a seminar on building a birch bark canoe. Tenda said this seminar is a favorite among attendees. Sharon Tabor from the DEC is doing a very important seminar on North Country ticks that cause Lyme disease. The main presentation takes place at 3 p.m. with Randy Flannery. “He is very good,” Tenda said. Flannery’s seminar will be on tracking

said. “There’s nothing more important than educating people about the all powerful and loving God that we have.” “If you go to the Adirondack Sportsmen’s Dinner and you don’t 1) eat well, 2) learning something or 3) enjoy yourself… I don’t think it’s possible to do that... It’s just a great time run by wonderful people,” he said. After his seminar he will share the gospel message and his personal testimony of faith. After Flannery’s presentation, prizes will be awarded. Tenda said this year’s grand prize is a muzzleloader.

Flannery said, “that’s what we do in the north country.” “We try to educate people so they’ll have far more success in deer hunting… climb out of the deer stand and go look for the deer instead of waiting for them,” he said. Flannery said he travels to many sportsmen’s events but loves going to this particular one because it’s a great event and it’s run very efficiently. “The main thing that keeps me coming back is what they’re trying to do,” Flannery

Strength in unity

o you think we’ll ever get our house in order? The anger that so many of our fellow countryman feel today has grown out of the dissatisfaction and frustration of seeing the nation’s political parties so vehemently disjointed. We are now witnessing the same behavior within the Republican party as those in the established inner circle attempt to derail candidates they find unsuitable. And while the Republicans are in full destruct mode, the Democrats are becoming equally divided in what was expected to be an easy path to the nomination for Hillary Clinton. Senator Sanders’ surprisingly successful socialist campaign, is “bernin’” the party while the DOJ continues their ever expanding investigation into Clinton’s past discretions with classified documents. We’ve seen how this two party polarization can stifle political and economic growth in the country. Just imagine the effect it will have when the same culture tears at the fabric inside the two established parties. Infighting of this magnitude only serves to leave the country in an impotent state with nothing getting accomplished except further debt, dysfunction, anger and despair. Our nation has always been able to rise above the petty disagreements and come together to accomplish great things, but in this environment there is no clear overwhelming choice that any majority can agree upon or support. What no one seems willing to accept is we all lose when any of us lose. Respect and compromise is the only path to healing. President Lincoln saw this clearly after the civil war despite it being an unpopular position at the time. He understood the nation needed to heal after the bitter fighting and the only solution was to forgive and unite under a common cause. Sadly his life was taken before he could enact his plans. Yet he stands today as one of our nation’s greatest presidents. We must recognize and respect this great melting pot of ideas and people we call home and find solutions that respect the will of all her people, not just those lucky enough to be in power at the moment. Our strength is only evident when it is focused on the common good and right now it’s anything but. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News. He may be reached at dan@suncommunitynews.com.

Taking in refugees will be good for the Adirondack Park

he world can be a dark place. Unless you’ve been living under a rock — which is actually a legitimate lifestyle here in the Adirondack Park — you’ve likely caught a whiff of the uncertainty that continues to grip the nation. An autocratic renegade real estate developer is poisoning the well of reasonable discourse with his brand of pugnacious faux-populism. The situation across the political aisle is equally odorous, with voters forced to choose between a socialist who wants to remake our political system and a craven opportunist who is allergic to the truth. Flint, Michigan is embroiled in a deadly water crisis stemming from profound government malfeasance. Zika, a new mosquito-borne virus, is threatening to become the new ebola, while storm clouds continue to gather over the global economy. It’s times like this when we could all use some good news. That’s why we’re so heartened by the efforts of a local group of civic leaders to turn on the light. This winter, a collective of religious institutions, nonprofits and other citizens assembled to discuss a burning question: How can we open ourselves up to refugees in a hostile political environment? The group, now known as the North Country Refugee Collaboration Project, met at the Keene Valley Congregational Church on a late-January evening — Martin Luther King, Jr. Day — and emerged three hours later brimming with ideas: “It is clear that we see a need and want to respond right now,” said a memo issued after the meeting. “We want to capture that energy and commitment, and continue to see it grow and expand to other groups (secular, governmental and faith-based) in our area.” The report mapped out a blueprint for moving forward, designating goals, timelines and point people for each task. This is wonderful news for many reasons, namely because this group is acting as our collective moral compass. We live under a growing shadow of ugliness. One of the key goals of the Islamic State is for the United States to alienate, marginalize and denigrate Muslim populations. This, they hope, will aid in their recruitment efforts. We saw this in the aftermath of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks, where our politicians — including several of our state and federal representatives — tripped over themselves to put the brakes on federal immigration programs. Spiked with inflammatory and fearful language, this was partisan hackery at its worst. Refugees, especially those from war-torn regions like Syria, are already the most severely scrutinized group to enter the country. Terrorist attacks on American soil, for the most part, have been carried out not by refugees, by naturalized citizens or those carrying student visas. (And that’s to say nothing of the toxicity being spewed by Donald Trump — “Who’s going to pay for the wall? They are�” — when it comes to our amigos to the south.) While last fall’s attacks by Islamic militants have largely faded into the

rearview, America continues to be at a crossroads. An estimated 4 million Syrians are trying to leave the country. Of those, only an infinitesimal number will eventually make it to American soil. This year, President Obama has recommended accepting 85,000 (and 100,000 in 2017). While the number has already proven to be fodder for critics, it’s a drop in the bucket when compared to the 4.2 million immigrants who are already in the country. We hope some of these Syrians will find their way here. Taking in refugees is good for America — and in particular, the Adirondack Park — for a few simple common sense reasons. The first is jobs. One of the most chief complaints we hear from the North Country business community is the lack of a dependable workforce. From small businesses to large employers to the region’s leading nonprofits, the refrain is simple: It’s tough to fill low-paying slots with good, reliable help. For many, the choice is simple: Why work when you can collect benefits? Immigrants don’t share that mindset. Schools. Combatting the demographic decline remains one of the region’s most vexing problems. When it comes to the public school landscape, we’re in a new era of permanent austerity where discussion is punctuated by buzzwords like mergers, shared services and consolidation — not growth, prosperity and expansion. Old timers fondly talk of a working family in each house. We can have that again. Diversity. At 96 percent white, we’re a homogenous bunch that does not resemble the shifting demographics of the country (the remaining four percent are prison inmates). This really puts us at a disadvantage, especially our kids, who aren’t exposed to the benefits of a multicultural tapestry, from learning new traditions, enjoying culinary experiences or simply expanding their intellectual universe. We’re not naive. The international press is rife with reports of refugees who have refused to assimilate in communities that are also ill-equipped to handle the influx, be it through nativist attitudes, a lack of housing and educational infrastructure or whatever else. But unlike the European Union, we’re a single country that has the immigrant experience etched into our national consciousness. We did, and continue to, rely on newcomers to maintain a vibrant economy and colorful cultural landscape. The North Country Refugee Collaboration Project is clearly in its embryonic stages. They face a long road ahead. But it pales in comparison to the horrors from which Syrians are fleeing: Rape. Torture. Murder. This group is doing a good thing, offering a flicker of hope in this era of domestic and international uncertainty. We support their mission.

LETTERS

BeautifulÊ work,Ê EssexÊ CountyÊ DPW! To the Editor: I would like to express my gratitude to the Essex County DPW and any coordinating agencies who worked to improve the sitelines and shoulder visibility on Lake Shore Road in Essex and Westport. There are many people who bike, walk and jog (not to mention drive) on the stretch of road just south of the hamlet and the work these crews did helps to make this beautiful stretch of roadway along the shoreline much safer. I always hate to see trees cut down, but these crews did so in a very responsible and aesthetically pleasing way. Thanks for maintaining this stretch of roadway and for keeping those who use it safe. Ken Hughes Essex

If you want to know why we have people working here who come from the city it’s because there aren’t enough local residents willing to do the hard work that we CNAs do every day. This is hard work and our center tries their best to hire people who live in the area. They offered to train people for free and then to guarantee them jobs but it’s easier for some people to sit home and complain rather than go out to work. They know how hard we work here for our residents and they try to make this a very pleasant place. They give us gift cards for working overtime, have luncheons for us, and treat us like we’re valuable employees. If local people want to work here, they should stop complaining and just walk in and apply like I did 18 years ago. I’ve taken care of these residents ever since, and I can tell you that I like it here and so do they. Katie Clark Certified Nursing Assistant, Essex Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare Elizabethtown

MiraclesÊ doÊ happen

EssexÊ CenterÊ receivesÊ lowÊ marks

To the Editor: A miracle happened in Morrisonville, New York on Feb. 26 and 27 in this tiny hamlet of 1,575 residents. Fountain Brothers American Legion Post #1619: Rand Hill Road, led by Danny Kaifetz, began a process which may well be the first of its kind in the state — remembering the forgotten veterans of the Vietnam era. Post 1619 funded and began testing these veterans for Hep-C, a disease which they received without their knowledge because the military used a device that transferred blood from one person to another during innoculations, a disease that can lay dormant for 30 to 40 years before it rears its ugly head. Many veterans did not know about this until Post 1619 began this drive to notify as many veterans as possible, receiving help and cooperation from many community organizations and media outlets which proved to be invaluable. This journey started back in December 2015 as Post 1619 held their first meeting to organize the process of getting these veterans tested. It was not an easy task, there were many hurdles to overcome, but the committee was diligent and overcame them. You will read more about this in other letters, praising the many, many unselfish, unsung heroes who participated in the process. God bless them. It is my fervent hope that the work started by Post 1619 to save our veterans will be carried on by other organizations. Our veterans deserve nothing but the best. Joe DeMarco WWII Veteran Keeseville

To the Editor: As a senior citizen, I have been doing some research on nursing homes in the area. I was shocked when I went online to medicare.gov/nursing home compare and saw that Essex Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare here in Elizabethtown has one out of five stars (much below average) overall rating. Categories such as health inspection and quality measures are also listed as much below average. On a happier note, Clinton County Nursing Home in Plattsburgh, which is run by the county, has one of the highest ratings in Northern NY. Judy Martin Elizabethtown

EssexÊ CenterÊ employeesÊ care To the Editor: I have worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at the Essex Center for 18 years and I have a problem with the letter from your reader about local employees and some of the uninformed comments I hear around town. This facility could have closed if Centers hadn’t bought it. Then there would be NO local people working here, and a lot of homeless elderly people with nowhere to go. Instead, we have a neighborhood facility that provides a great home and excellent rehabilitation. There are dozens of staffers here who are local Elizabethtown residents. When we were bought, some people left and some retired. But I work with a number of employees who left and came back, so I guess the grass on the other side of the fence wasn’t as green as they thought. The employees and the staff here are all treated very well, and it’s discouraging to hear comments around town that are just plain wrong made by people who don’t know the facts.

AddressingÊ theÊ addictionÊ epidemic To the Editor: While the addition of drug and alcohol detoxification facilities in the University of Vermont Health Care Network is a big step in addressing severe addiction disorders medically, another step and perhaps of equal importance in addressing the addiction epidemic would be to explore an answer to the following question: Who in state licensed agencies, that provide face to face [individual and group] counseling for people with an addiction disorder are performing tasks, covered by professional licenses? A brief and partial answer to this question: In 2012, the New York State Education Department Office of Professions began to explore the answer to this question by asking several New York State, NYS, Departments that is, NYS Office of Mental Health, NYS Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, NYS Department of Corrections and Community Services and the NYS Department of Family and Children Services, to conduct a survey of their nonprofit providers and the tasks their employees perform. The survey results began the process of identifying by title those individuals performing tasks covered by licenses such as diagnosis, psychotherapy (talk therapy) and treatment planning. While state licensed facilities may meet the regulatory requirements of “treatment”, a closer look by the consumer may shed some light on who actually provides face to face “treatment” for those with an addiction disorder to include those with co-occurring disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, PTSD etc. While the old Minnesota Model [1950] of addiction treatment stresses personal recovery and AA attendance, newer models of “treatment” have been identified and are readily available from professionals who obtain licensure in their respective fields of study, by completing an academic program, practicum and internship.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Hand over the TP Gordie Little

’m on a roll. Up or down? Inside or outside? Those are the questions for today. Trivia, you say? Not so trivial for many. I’m referring to the toilet paper. I was somewhat amazed to learn that people are often adamant about those kinds of choices. It came up on my social media pages and, before that day was finished, there were hundreds of responses. Like everything else in my life, I was in the minority. Kaye taught me long ago to place the toilet tissue in such a way that it unrolls from the inside. That’s the way you’ll find it next to all our commodes. Except for last week. She went in to use the facility and found it installed the opposite way. Of course I was accused. I would usually accept full responsibility, but not this time. I refused to be the culprit. Obviously, a guest had done it. Should we call the gendarmes? Should we place them up for public ridicule? Nope. We just changed the roll around. It was of no real consequence to me. It’s one of those things I notice in public restrooms and private homes. However, I would never deign to argue that one way is right and the other, wrong. And, I would likewise not change the roll around anyplace except for here at our home. Kaye and I chuckled at the myriad responses on the social site. Of course, I contributed my nickel’s worth and people scoffed. One close friend said (tongue in cheek, I hope) that she could never visit us here unless we agreed to flip the roll for the duration of her stay. How long has this controversy raged? Is there a legitimate reason for doing it one way or the other? I’ve conducted my informal Gordie Little surveys for far less vital quests. Yes, I actually did some research on this one. I’ve spoken with psychologists and sociologists and read their august treatises. I have learned that the over and under thing is discussed as an integral part of class work for undergraduates in more than one institution. Tens of thousands of words have been written on the subject ever since Thomas Crapper first did his business (so to speak). Remember Ann Landers? She broached the subject during her heyday and reportedly got over 15,000 responses--most ever for anything in her columns. From everything I’ve read and seen, the majority of you prefer “over” by up to 70-percent. Some couples have argued so long and hard that they have installed “his” and “hers” dispensers side by side. One guy even invented a special roll holder you can swivel to satisfy your personal preference. If you think this column is a bit over the top, chalk it up to my version of levity and please don’t let your marriage suffer because of it.

EYE ON THE ARTS

“Don’t you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you’re not taking advantage of it?” Ernest Hemingway posed this question in 1926 and it is still relevant today. We only live once. We know this. Despite this pervasive knowledge, it’s still easy to get distracted from this simple fact of life. We get distracted by work and personal finances. We obsess over obligation and responsibility. These are all valid concerns, but there is something that is often lost in this chaotic mix: time spent simply enjoying life... time spent taking advantage of our time on this earth. This week I have a few suggestions – as I always do – on ways to stop and smell the flowers. Here are a few exciting events happening around the North Country this week. The Wand’ring Minstrels will perform “The Pirates of Penzance” and more Gilbert & Sullivan Players Favorites at the Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh on March 12. “The Pirates of Penzance,” or “The Slave of Duty,” was first performed at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in New York City on Dec. 31, 1879. It was the only Gilbert & Sullivan operetta to have its world premiere in the United States and it has remained popular ever since. This exuberant musical theater masterpiece, directed and conducted by Albert Bergeret with choreography by Bill Fabris, will be performed in its original format; featuring rich sounds of full orchestra, chorus, and vocal soloists. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $20. For more info, call the Strand box office at 518-563-1604. The Courthouse Gallery in Lake George will display work by Susan Meyer beginning on March 12. Meyer, who is a renowned artist and sculptor, creates fascinating mash-ups of architecture and landscape. The exhibit, titled “Formation Proposal,” collects pieces that “combine sculptural elements to create fantastical, sci-fi environments … and explore landscape and architecture as embodiments of, and catalysts for, our desires and aspirations” says Meyer. The opening reception will go from 4 to 6 p.m. and is free and open to the public. After the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until April 15. This month, the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls will host a two-part series on figure drawing, the art form that focuses on the human form. Attendees will be working with a live model in the Art Studio at The Hyde. The first class, “Figure Drawing,” is scheduled for March 12 from 1 to 4 p.m. The second, “Figure Painting,” for March 19. Registration is $40 for one class, or $70 for both. To register, contact Colette Broestler at 518-792-1761, ext. 310. Or email adminassist@hydecollection.org. Partnering with 98.9 WOKO and the Big Change Roundup, the Mineville VFW will present a concert by country singers Joe McGinness and Jamie Lee Thurston on March 12. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m. On March 19, the Slam Allen Band will perform at the Champlain Wine Company in Plattsburgh. The concert is part of the new “Plattsburgh Blues & Jazz” series produced by photographer Laura Carbone. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door. The Crandall Public Library in Glens Falls will host historian and singer Tisha Dolton on March 15. As part of Women’s History Month, Dolton will lead a discussion on music that helped to first shape the feminist movement. A sing-a-long will follow featuring topics that range from suffrage to birth control. The event will begin at 7 p.m. For more information, contact the library at 518-792-6508.

POLICE REPORTS

Missing Tupper Lake man located TUPPER LAKE — On Thursday March 3, Edward Clement, age 72, of Tupper Lake was reported missing to the New York State Police in Tupper Lake. He had been last seen earlier in the day operating his Dodge Pickup truck. A search of the area around the Village of Tupper Lake was conducted by the State Police, Tupper Lake Police Department, Department of Environmental Conservation and State Forest Rangers. On Sunday March 6, Mr. Clement’s truck was located by the State Police Aviation Unit in a wooded area just off State Route 3 west of the Village of Tupper Lake. Troopers and Rangers converged on the area and found

Mr. Clement alive and walking out of unoccupied seasonal cabin. Investigation revealed that Mr. Clement may have gotten disoriented while attempting to drive to a family member’s residence, got his truck stuck on a private roadway and walked to the unoccupied cabin after being unable to move his truck. Mr. Clement was transported to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake for observation because of his long exposure to the cold temperatures.

Hiker located deceased on MacNaughton Mtn LAKE PLACID – DEC Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos announced last week the completion of rescue and recovery operations by New York State Forest Rangers and State Police spanning more than 16 hours Saturday in the Adirondack backcountry. The search resulted in the location of 61-year-old Hua Davis, of Wilmington, DE deceased on the western slopes of MacNaughton Mountain. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the David family for the loss of Hua Davis, who tragically lost her life on MacNaughton Mountain on Saturday,” said Acting Commissioner Seggos. “I commend our Forest Rangers and State Police for their heroic

efforts searching for her, and then subsequently rescuing one of their own from a life threatening situation.” On Saturday, March 5, 2016 Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers began searching for an overdue hiker who did not return to her hiking party the night before. After locating the subject’s car at the Adirondack Loj, Forest Rangers began an immediate and extensive search of MacNaughton Mountain and the surrounding area. After searching most of the day through snow, mud and cold temperatures, Forest Rangers found Davis and then worked with New York State Police helicopter to transport her to Lake Placid Airport.

Cliche was arraigned in the town of Plattsburgh court and is scheduled to reappear in the Town of Saranac court March 21. Parks said the FSO and district will continue to assist law enforcement throughout the investigation.

Too young to drink? Smooth Moves and First Weekends will provide free non-alcoholic Irish beverages, such as Irish coffee, while Stewart’s Shop will offer free mint cookie crumble and peanut butter pandemonium ice cream. Entertainment is scheduled to be provided by the Champlain Valley Irish Dancers, who will move their feet on the stage first from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The Plattsburgh Pipes & Drums will perform two sets at noon and 1 p.m. The headlining performance by the Glengarry Bhoys — a Celtic rock group based in Glengarry, Ontario, Canada — will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. This event is the second event in the Discover Plattsburgh Event Series — an effort by the City of Plattsburgh to introduce new and returning events to community members and visitors. The city also launched Friends of Plattsburgh — a campaign focused toward local businesses — to assist with making the events successful. With the help of participating businesses and nonprofits, Geddes hopes the series will continue and grow for years to come to give locals and visitors something to look forward to every year. “There are plenty of things to do in Plattsburgh,” she said. “This is our way to showcase everything we have to offer.” The Irish Festival will take place in the Durkee Street parking lot March 12 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Geddes at 518-5367458 or visit cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov. Day of race registration for the Shamrock Shuffle 5k will cost $15. All proceeds will go toward the Champlain Valley Irish Dancers. For more information, visit adirondackcoastevents.com.

Tax Credit

From page 1 “A free license is a very small gesture for all they give,” he said. “You cannot put a cost on the sacrifices our volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers make each and every day, risking their safety and their lives without compensation,” said Serino in a press release. “I have heard from many that use hunting and fishing as a reprieve from the stress of their duties and providing a tax credit for the associated fees is the least that we can do to show our gratitude.” The bill does not yet have a sponsor in the Assembly, though Stec said he would fully support it.

FASNY Study highlights New York State’s nearly 100,000 volunteer firefighters save taxpayers $3.87 billion annually in salary and benefits, and potential debt service, estimating paid fire service would have the following results: —An additional 30,822 firefighters would need to be hired and more than 1,300 stations would have to be built new or reconstructed —A one-time cost of $5.95 billion to acquire existing structures, vehicles and equipment —Property taxes across the state would rise on average 26.5 percent to cover the added cost, increasing taxes between 3.3-123 percent depending on county

Creel study, celebration of wild trout RAQUETTE LAKE — The 2016 Trout Power event will be held at Great Camp Sagamore in Raquette Lake on Father’s Day Weekend, June 16-19. This event will be for catch-and-release anglers and conservationists to assist in a 2-day creel study and 3-day celebration of wild trout and historic conservation and protection. Anglers will choose from over 10 miles of secluded and rarely-fished sections of the South Inlet watershed to fish. Anglers will receive training on how to catch, photograph, and record their catch during a weekend-long data collection survey of wild fish. Participants will stay at Sagamore and enjoy myriad activities over the weekend, including tours, seminars, slide shows, and live folk music, while enjoying craft beer courtesy of the Adirondack Brewery in Lake George. Scientific Study of the

data will be done through a collaboration between Trout Power, Trout Unlimited and the New York State Museum. The event runs from check-in on Thursday afternoon until departure late Sunday morning. In the late 1800s, Dr. Arpad Gerster chronicled the terrific fishing that he found along the South Inlet of Raqueete Lake, in his Notes Collected in the Adirondacks. Yet within a century, this ecosystem had been adversely affected by acid rain, and fishing in the area was damaged by water ph levels of 5.0 and less. Today, the ph levels have returned to historical norms and both aquatic insects and wild brook trout populations are beginning to rebound as well, making this stream one of the great comeback stories of natural restoration. This event will collect information and data on the ecosystem in an effort to protect and preserve the watershed under the already-existing

DEC seeks assistance in locating black bear dens This winter, State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) wildlife biologists are seeking the public’s help to learn about new black bear dens throughout New York. As part of DEC’s ongoing monitoring of black bears in New York, wildlife biologists routinely check on black bears during the winter den season. The bears may be fitted with a radio collar to help biologists track the bears’ activities throughout the rest of the year and to relocate dens in subsequent years for monitoring cub production, condition, and survival. “There is great value in having resident participation for this type of wildlife research,” said DEC Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos. “DEC’s wildlife biologists use public feedback from these studies as a guidance measure for future wildlife management and planning efforts. I encourage anyone that encounters a bear den to follow our safety instructions and reach out to their local DEC office for reporting.” Bears may den in a rock crevice, tree cavity, or under heavy brush or fallen tree. Since female bears generally give birth sometime in January or early February, a highpitched squeal from the cubs may be audible if you are near a den. If anyone finds a bear den, DEC strongly urges the public to not approach or disturb the den, but simply to note the location and move away from the den site. DEC requests that anyone locating a bear den to contact their local DEC Wildlife office (www.dec.ny.gov/about/558.html) with specifics about the den location, including GPS coordinates if possible. More information about black bears in New York is available at http://www.dec. ny.gov/animals/6960.html.

Men charged in poaching case New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Officers (ECOs) charged two Washington County men with numerous hunting related violations and misdemeanors after discovering a collection of deer heads and hundreds of pounds of venison in their possession, the DEC announced today. The incident stemmed from an anonymous complaint ECOs received on December 30, 2015. ECOs Matthew Krug and Steve Gonyea investigated the complaint on January 1, 2016 when they visited a residence in Greenwich to conduct an interview. Through their investigation, the ECOs observed eight antlered white-tailed deer heads next to the garage as they walked up to the front door. After being interviewed, Brian Manney, 50, of Greenwich, provided a written statement admitting to shooting all eight bucks with a .308 rifle during the regular big game season. ECOs seized the deer heads and more than 200 pounds of venison. Manney was issued tickets for seven counts each of illegal taking of a deer (a misde-

meanor), failure to report taking a deer (a violation) and failure to tag the deer (a violation). Manney plead guilty to all charges in Greenwich Town Court and agreed to a settlement, which included $3,800 in fines. Further investigation resulted in ECOs charging Manney’s friend, Neil Peterson, 49, of Schuylerville, a convicted felon, with criminal possession of a weapon (a misdemeanor), illegal taking of a deer (a misdemeanor) and failure to report taking a deer (a violation). ECOs seized another illegally taken head of an eight point white-tail deer and two muzzleloaders. Peterson is scheduled to appear before Greenwich Town Court on March 14. He faces penalties of no less than $500 and up to one year in jail for criminal possession of a weapon. He also faces total maximum penalties of up to $750 and one year in jail for illegal taking of deer and up to $250 and seven days in jail for failure to report a deer.

BlueÊ BombersÊ clearedÊ forÊ FinalÊ FourÊ approach Williams nets five points over two games By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE PLACID — The Bombers will have a little more time on the bus this year. The Lake Placid varsity hockey team will be returning to the NYSPHSAA Division II Final Four this weekend after earning one goal victories over Beekmantown in the Section VII finals and Queesnbury in the state quarterfinals. The Bombers scored the opening three goals in a 3-2 win against the Eagles, then rallied from a 1-0 deficit after one period to score a 2-1 overtime win against Queensbury to punch their ticket to Buffalo. “We’re looking good so far and we just need to keep going 100 percent in practice,” said Bombers goalie Kamm Cassidy, who made 53 saves in the past week.

Regional win Noah Mohr took a pass from Chris Williams early in the second period to pull even with Queensbury in the state quarterfinal March 5. It was a payoff for a key move coach Butch Martin said the team made heading into the playoffs. “We made a move a couple weeks ago moving Noah Mohr up to the wing with Chris to get some pressure off him,” he said. “Noah is a little stronger and a little more seasoned and he can get up there and work off Chris.” Kevin Gessler was also credited with an as-

his own to score the game-winner.

Sectional title Coach Butch Martin said jumping out to an early lead is something he has preached to the team throughout the season, which worked against the Eagles and he hopes will work again against Queensbury. “We love that,” Martin said. “That is what we have been doing in some of our bigger games because we know if we can get out in front like that, we can hold it.” Evan Damp opened the scoring for the Bombers in the first period off an assist by Chris Williams, who was named the CVAC MVP after the contest. Williams along with Kevin Geesler then set up Ryan Kane for the second goal before scoring himself, taking a Geesler pass near the Beekmantown blue line and sneaking the puck in. “I went backhand, forehand when I took the shot and (Keller Kowalowski) kind of pinned it,” Williams said. “I waited and waited, the puck dropped and the light went on. I was pretty surprised it went in, actually.

“Beekmantown is a great team and we know they can score fast so getting the first couple of goals was great for our gameplan so we can dictate the play and we did not have to come back and they could hold us off,” Williams added. From that point, it was up to Cassidy to keep the Eagles at bay as the Bombers allowed one goal in each of the remaining two periods, but denied the Eagles in the closing minutes. “They worked hard and got pucks back in the zone,” Martin said. “Everyone played hard and no one left anything out on the ice tonight. Kamm was solid as a rock. A lot of times he was getting crowded and got frustrated a couple times, but he was able to compose himself and be as strong as he was all year long.” “We just had to gather our team and make sure we could come back and focus on putting more goals in the net,” Cassidy said. “It’s great. It didn’t just come from one guy. Everyone was going 100 percent and it was great to see.” Josh McCauley and Christian Wawrzynski scored for the Eagles, while Kowaloski made 32 saves in net.
