Hal Moore and Libby Yokum stand on the New Land Trust in Saranac which consists of 287 acres, 10-12 miles of trails for hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing, a meadow and stage for music and a large stone labyrinth.

SARANAC — It was 1977, and they were students living together in Plattsburgh when they decided to buy some land. “We were interested in an intentional community and living together and buying land and sort of protecting it over the long term,” said Hal Moore of Saranac. “We didn’t want to think of it as property but a place we could live, and it would be protected and not subject to being bought and sold.” A lawyer helped them write up a trust agreement, and today the New Land Trust of Saranac consists of 287 acres, 10-12 miles of trails for hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing, a meadow and stage for music and a large stone labyrinth. A house also rests on the property and board members today are hoping to do agricultural sharing, utilizing a large barn.

Pacesetters jump start 2013 United Way campaign By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The United Way of the Adirondack Region aims to raise $775,000 this year. Nearly 20 percent of that is already out of the way due to funds from pacesetters. The organization announced its campaign goal and pacesetter results at its kick-off breakfast at the American Legion Post # 20 in Plattsburgh. A near-record crowd of supporters and partners from throughout the three-county region attended the event. “This crowd is representative of the incredible generosity and caring nature of our North Country community,” said United Way of the Adirondack Region Executive Director John Bernardi in a press release. United Way debuted its campaign video to loud applause from the 164 attendees, board members and volunteers. This year ’s campaign goal is $775,000. “We have assembled a great group of people this year who are committed to the success of the campaign and to the well being of our friends and neighbors,” said Gayle Alexander of Denton Publications, this year ’s campaign chair. United Way raises the funds to assist an array of organizations in the North Country, many of which are responsible for vital services to some of the region’s neediest individuals. United Way also announced its new volunteer center this year, which will help agencies list volunteer opportunities and enable people to volunteer. At the campaign breakfast, it was announced that the campaign was at 18.5 percent of its goal due to pacesetter results. Pacesetters are businesses and organizations that complete their campaign before the kick-off.

All smiles as the 2013 United Way of the Adirondack Region begins its annual fund drive with pace-setting companies jump starting the drive with more than $120,000 raised from their employee contributions. Pictured here are United Way Executive Director John Bernardi, Campaign Chairwoman Gayle Alexander and United Way Board President Kirk Stahlsmith.

MOOERS — A Canadian man wanted for a triple homicide in Quebec may have been spotted in New York. The New York State Police are assisting the Quebec Provincial Police in locating the murder suspect, 35-year-old Justin Bresaw, of Quebec. Bresaw is wanted in connection with a tripple homicide which occurred in Amos, Quebec on Sept. 17. According to Sergeant Richard Gagne of the Surete du Quebec, the three victims died as a result of a home fire. Bresaw is considered armed and dangerous, according to police reports. Based on the initial investigation by Canadian police, it is believed that Bresaw may have entered into the United States in Mooers. New York State Police are attempting to verify two possible sightings of Bresaw on Sept. 19, one in Mooers and one in Plattsburgh. Bresaw is described as 5-foot-9 inches tall, 150-pounds, with brown eyes and bald. He was last seen wearing a white, button-down long-sleeve shirt and dark colored pants. If anyone has any information regarding the location of Bresaw, contact the NY State Police at 563-3761. If anyone has any information regarding the homicides in Quebec, contact Québec Provincial Police at 598-4043.

The theatre will hold an informational meeting regarding auditions for its 2013 spring production on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. in the Chazy Central Rural School auditorium. The purpose of the meeting is to outline audition requirements for Anything Goes, provide a synopsis of the show, discuss rehearsal schedules and show dates, introduce the production staff, and answer any questions individuals may have. Those who attend will have an opportunity to sign up for an audition time at the conclusion of the meeting. Those wishing to audition, but are unable to attend the informational meeting, can sign up for an available time slot on the day of auditions. The open auditions will be held on Friday, Nov. 9 in the school auditorium. Auditions will begin at 4 p.m. and continue until all interested individuals have been seen. Those wishing to audition are required to perform a portion of pre-selected music which can be downloaded from the Chazy Music Theatre web site. In addition, all individuals wishing to audition will be taught a brief dance routine which will be performed in a group setting. Interested individuals ages 10 and above are encouraged to audition regardless of theatrical background. Anything Goes contains roles for performers of all ages.

Safe boating course offered in Plattsburgh PLATTSBURGH — One last safe boating course for the year will be offered in two fourhour evening sessions from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 3 and 4. The course is called “About Boating Safely” and is offered by Flotilla 15-8, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Plattsburgh. The course will be held at the South Plattsburgh Fire Department, 4442 Route 9. A certificate of completion will be issued that is acceptable in all states. The course satisfies New York state requirements for mandatory education for jet-ski (Personal Water Craft) operators. “We had great success with this course early in the year. Summer boating is almost over but there will still be people fishing and hunting waterfowl on the water for the next two months. We think it's important to make it available again to the public", said Robert Shivokevich, Public Education Officer. "We consider this course essential for all recreational boaters, whether you own a powerboat, sailboat, canoe or kayak.” Topics covered in the course include types of boats and boat maintenance; preparation to make before you leave the dock; navigation rules and aids to navigation; how to handle emergencies; and state-specific laws and regulations. Pre-registration is required. The course is free but the cost of text and materials is $30 per person. For registration or more information, contact Robert Shivokevich at 493-7251 or email rshivokevich@yahoo.com.

Mohawk art exhibit opens at the Tahawus shaun@denpubs.com Au SABLE FORKS — The “Mohawk of the Adirondacks” art exhibit opened Sept. 21 with a prayer. Everyone at the Tahawus Lodge Center in Au Sable Forks went silent as Barbara Little Bear, of the Bear Clan, gave thanks. Thanks to all the people of the Earth, and to the small water, the rain, and the oceans. Thanks to all the roots and medicines that come from the ground and support everything that lives on the Earth, and to the three sisters: corn, beans and squash. Thanks to the flowers and grasses and to the strawberries, the heart of Mother Earth. Little Bear recited the prayer in her people’s native tongue, a language her grandmother forbade her to speak as a child for fear she’d be persecuted. As an adult, Little Bear learned the language so she can communicate with her ancestors after she dies. Tradition and ancestory are prevalent in the artwork on display, and the colors—vibrant autumn reds and yellows, deep blues and greens, and earthtone shades of brown and gray—invoke images of the Adirondack wilderness. The six featured Mohawk artists—Cheyanne Doxtator, Star Horn, Barbara Little Bear, Towanna Miller, Kakwirakeron R. Montour and Natasha Smoke Santiago—also utilize an array of mediums in their work, including soapstone sculpture, beadwork, pottery, jewelry, drawing, moose hair tufting and painting. “The theme I wanted here is to show how the Mohawk are tied to this area,” said Margaret Horn, the

exhibition’s curator. “It’s a bigger objective of trying to reintroduce Mohawk culture.” Horn chose the artists and the work on display, and is hoping the exhibit can encourage a dialog about her people. “I’ve lived in Jay with my son and my granddaughter and there is nothing in this whole region that I can identify as a Mohawk group,” Horn said. “We were originally from this area.” Horn is taking an active role in getting Mohawks noticed in the region. Soon, she will be teaching a beading and oral history workshop to fourthgrade students in Au Sable Forks Elementary School. But the exhibit, she said, was a good Mohawk artist Towanna Miller discusses one of her paintings. place to start.

Don’t miss Museum Day opportunity “We don’t have the money” is one of the biggest reasons we hear from people who don’t visit museums. And with the price of gas and some admission fees, we can understand. But this weekend, you can’t use that excuse. More than 1,400 museums throughout the U.S. are taking part in the Smithsonian magazine’s Museum Day Live! event on Saturday, Sept. 29, and there is a participating museum located within a two-hour drive for most of our readers. The admission is free. There is one hitch; you have to present an online ticket at the museum. Tickets can be obtained from filling out a request on the magazine’s website, www.smithsonianmag.com. You will then be sent an electronic ticket for two (by email), which you have to print. Only one ticket per household and email address is permitted, and you have to specify which museum you will be visiting, as it will be printed on the ticket. We are happy to report that the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake and the Lake Placid Olympic Museum are participating in Museum Day Live! Unfortunately, there are a number of great museums in the region that are not participating, and that concerns us. By all accounts, Museum Day Live! is a successful program, according to Smithsonian officials, who say it encourages learning and the spread of knowledge nationwide. The event emulates the free-admission policy of all the Smithsonian Institution’s museums in Washington, D.C. and it fulfills Smithsonian Media’s mission to make cultural education accessible to everyone. In 2011, more than 350,000 museum goers took advantage of this opportunity, and more than 400,000 people are expected to participate in 2012. Those going to Blue Mountain Lake are in luck, as Museum Day Live! falls on the same day as the Adirondack Museum’s Fall Festival. As museums continue to struggle financially, some facilities are faced with the possibility of closure, and that reality gets us thinking about the value of museums

and why it’s important to support them. Officials at the North Creek Depot Museum, for example, say they could not stay open without the financial support of the town of Johnsburg. The town’s annual subsidy of the museum was recently questioned, and hearts sank among the museum’s managers when faced with the thought of a reduction or elimination of town taxpayer money for operations. Why even have a museum? Although museums attract tourists and therefore help the local economy, that’s not really why they’re important. Museums define us. They create a sense of place by interpreting our history. Furthermore, they tell us where we’ve come from and, because most things in life come in cycles, they tell us where we’re going. Through artifacts, museums tell our story. That connection between the past and the present is educational, yes, but it’s also something we need as human beings. We are social creatures, but we don’t sit around campfires any more handing down stories from generation to generation as our early ancestors did. For the most part, history is no longer communicated through the oral tradition; it is a function of society handled by museums. For this reason, we’d like to see all museums in the Adirondack region sign up with the Smithsonian as a partner and offer free admission to their museums during the 2013 Museum Day Live! Although museums will see their proceeds from admission fees fall on Saturday, one day couldn’t possibly hurt their bottom line. It may indeed help, as people spend more money in the gift shops and food counters. And it’s a great promotional tool. As the Adirondack Museum and the Lake Placid Olympic Museum will undoubtedly find out this year, Museum Day Live! is a great opportunity to get some free publicity.

Accountability check up

few weeks ago I suggested readers continue to check out sites like Factcheck.org and OpenSecrets.org so they could balance out the facts from the over-exaggerated spin that all political candidates seem compelled to use. Several readers asked that I periodically use this column to check in on the presidential candidates and provide an update to see who is saying what and how accurate the claims being made are. Prior to the upcoming October head-tohead debates, the candidates are crisscrossing the country providing their standard stump speeches. Here’s what Factcheck.org has to say about the two candidate’s stump spins: President Obama correctly states that manufacturing jobs have increased by more than half a million since hitting bottom, but he fails to mention that the number regained is less than half the total lost since he took office. The president claims that “renewable” energy production has doubled on his watch, which isn’t true (only wind and solar have doubled). He also claims he’d increase the tax rate on high-income earners to no more than they paid under Bill Clinton, when the truth is they’d pay more because of new taxes imposed to pay for the Affordable Health Care Act. He says “independent analysis” validates that his plan would cut $4 trillion from the deficit. But that total is inflated by $1 trillion in “savings” from winding down wars that he has promised to end anyway. He accuses Romney of proposing to raise taxes by $2,000 on middle-income taxpayers, when Romney has clearly stated that he wouldn’t do any such thing. He attacks Romney’s plan for Medicare as a “voucher” system that would leave seniors “at the mercy of insurance companies,” when the fact is, it’s structured the same as the system Obama’s health care law sets up for subsidizing private insurance for persons under age 65. In turn Governor Romney says the president “said by now (unemployment) would be down to 5.4 percent.” But Romney is referring to a speculative report issued at the beginning of Obama’s presidency containing projections — not promises. Those projections relied on prevailing economic models that quickly proved to have underestimated the depths of the recession at that time. Romney says median family income dropped $5,000 under Obama. That’s an exaggeration. The true loss of inflationadjusted, median family income was $3,290

during Obama’s first three years. Romney’s figure is based on a report that covers a period that inDan Alexander cludes 13 months Thoughts from before Obama Behind the Pressline took office. Romney says health insurance premiums have gone up $2,500 under Obama. The actual increase has been $1,700, most of which was absorbed by employers and only a small part of which is attributable to the health care law. Romney blames Obama for the cost of gasoline doubling, but that’s misleading. Gasoline prices happened to be unusually low when Obama took office due to the recession and financial crisis. Romney said Obama “cut Medicare by $716 billion to pay for Obamacare,” but these cuts in the future growth of spending prolong the life of the Medicare trust fund, stretching the program’s finances out longer than they would last otherwise. As the campaigns continue to churn I wonder if, as a nation, we don’t need to rethink a two-term presidency and instead opt for a single six-year term. This president, who is at his best when campaigning, appears to have abandoned his full-time job as president, instead favoring fund raising events and campaign speeches. In my lifetime I’ve not seen any successful second terms. The president has an important job to do and growing our economy, controlling spending and the situation in the Middle East demand far more attention than he is giving them. The assassination of our ambassador and three other Americans, and the failure to quickly recognize and respond to the terrorist attack on our embassy clearly shows where his priorities lie. Instead of defending the Constitution and this country, as he is sworn to do as president, I think his actions are sending the wrong message to radicals who wish serious harm to our nation. He has far harsher words for his opponent than for those burning our flag. We expect our president to be focused on governing, not campaigning. I think the country would be far better off if our president spent more time worrying about the nation’s business and less time about their legacy, which seems to dominate their second terms.

North Countryman - 7

www.northcountryman.com

Did not mean to offend anyone in the Republican Party M y children taught me selflessness, enhancing my empathy and compassion, especially given both suffer from medical conditions requiring, at times, extensive care. My own bouts with mental illness and my time as a soldier and journalist introduced me to aspects of life, of humanity, I’d never encountered and which, I hope, over time, have molded me into a better person. They have shaped my own ideals, beliefs and values, some of which have been a struggle to maintain after choosing them, given the social, psychological and environmental conditions endured in our lives. One thing I have learned, that except in rare circumstances, two, what society would refer to as wrongs, do not make a right. I’ve written extensively about this and likely bore, frustrate and amuse readers, family and friends when I whip my soap box out of my back pocket. That is where I keep it, for quick access, kind of like a gunslinger, except my six shooter holds the words I share, or assault people with, given my latest round of verbal reckoning. Recently, I referred to certain individuals who made statements I found repulsive and without merit as reptilians lacking a human brain.

These individuals also happen to be Republicans. In terms of the latter, I want to apologize, as I do not consider every member of that political party to be an alien without a brain, nor do I believe that all Republicans are insensitive to the plight and struggles of others. I have met numerous Republicans whom are selfless and generous and also fall into the categories of people I was attempting to defend with my writing. To paint my picture in a way that caused them to fall under the brush I was attempting to capture a very few with was a mistake. To the first point: Yes, I was disgusted by the comments, but by attacking the situation with guns blazing and sending my bullets, which could possibly cause psychological pain, the way of the culprits, I decided in that instant that two wrongs made a right. Did two wrongs make a right? I don’t know, which means I didn’t pause to consider whether those actions warranted my response. Sometimes we do find ourselves in situations, during which we make split-second decisions that, when analyzed on their own, could be labeled a wrong, but this was not one of those moments. I had ample time to consider what I was writing,

gy. My children inspire me to hope, fight and dream of a better, more compassionate world. I need to make sure I model for them the behavior I believe

would help make that world possible, and that is not by hurting others with my actions. Reach Editor Stephen Bartlett at stephen@denpubs.com.

Food drive a success To the North Countryman:

Stephen Bartlett

From the Editor’s Desk the literary technique I chose to employ and whether I was stepping all over my own ideals, and if so, was I warranted in doing so. I failed to do that. Now, back to the second point, I do want to again make clear that I sincerely apologize if any innocent individuals who happen to fall under the Republican banner felt I despised them or considered them aliens without a brain, suddenly lumped into the bucket with the individuals I was choosing to shine a light on. I would never want to do that, and in fact would hope that if I encounter such individuals in public they mention how I made them feel so I can offer a more personal apolo-

In 2009, Congress designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance and charged the corporation for National and Community Service with helping to support this effort across the country. The Sept. 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance established the inspiring tradition of Americans engaging in charitable service on 9/11 as an annual and forward-looking tribute to the victims, survivors, and those who rose up in service in response to the attacks. The North Country Regional Volunteer Center located at the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. held a food drive in conjunction with Adirondack Community Action Program (ACAP), Comlinks Community Action Program, Family Champions of the North Country and Joint Council for Economic Opportunity (JCEO). The food drive was a success! A couple hundred food items were donated by concerned residents through workplace collections and individual givers. A colossal “THANK YOU” goes out to all the citizens that contributed to the success of the 9/11 food drive. The generous outpouring of support is what makes our region a COMMUNITY! Kathy Snow Director of Development United Way of the Adirondack Region

Our life coaches, Style and Substance: On family meetings Dear Style & Substance: My husband and I had heard so much about family meetings that we wanted to give it a try. So, we had one and it was a nightmare. Can you give us some guidelines or ideas on how to hold one that the kids actually want to attend and that doesn’t end in more confusion or anger than when it was initiated? Family Meetings have the potential to be mocked, dreaded, and avoided; however, they can also be productive, and dare we say, fun. The first guideline of hosting a Family Meeting is to set an agenda. Parents are the directors of a family and as such should have a clear idea of the issue (or issues) to be discussed and lead all family members to resolution. The agenda should have a main topic but also some “atta-boy” and “atta-girl” praises (also to include the parents!) to let everyone know that although there may be a family problem, there are some great happenings and behaviors that you are very supportive of and appreciate. Serve food. This is a simple truth for any gathering – food brings people together and can create lasting and happy memories. Food also helps set the stage for comfortable communication and a relaxed atmosphere. Successful Family Meetings are about seeking resolution, not creating fear. A great first Family Meeting can be about setting guidelines for discussion and communication, which can be used in the home

as everyday guidelines, or at the Family Meetings themselves. Every family is different as is every family member. This truth must be recognized if a family meeting is to be successful and repeated. Each person’s communication style should be considered, yet no one style should dictate the tone of the meeting. Respectful and honest communication can help everyone feel secure in the knowledge that “we are all in this together.” Everybody wants his or her opinion to be heard. If anybody feels attacked or not valued, the meeting can turn into a nightmare and create hard feelings. So, set the communication rules as; one at a time, listen gracefully, hold your opinions until all have spoken, and agree to possibly disagree at times. As parents, take everything into consideration and weigh all opinions before responding. Sometimes the best response is that you will now think about the conversation, since all have contributed, and get back to them. Make sure that you follow through, or the Family Meeting has then lost its value. Your family will begin to understand that this is all about their best interests, and it becomes a matter of routine that they feel is beneficial. Some general rules of thumb: • Let all family members know ahead of time and adjust the day and time to work with all schedules. If it is a demand, then it has already turned into a battle!

Our featured pet this week is Buddy, a stunning, grey tabby Domestic Shorthair mix who comes with a little more to love - extra toes, to be precise! Buddy was abandoned in a crate placed in front of our dumpster and was confused, sick, and frightened. Our shelter staff have gently nursed her back to health and she is now hoping to find her forever home. This sweet girl has paws as large as her huge heart. Folklore has it that cats with extra toes are good luck... certainly Buddy had a stroke of luck when she came to us! We don't know if she will help you win fortune or fame, but you can be sure adding this sweet lady to your household will be a rewarding experience. Why not stop by our shelter at 23 Lakeshore Road and meet her today?

Buddy

• Have an agenda and stick to it. • Remind everyone gently of the communication rules you have all agreed on. • When you can, make the meeting fun and painless…use humor that is not sarcastic, but that the whole family can all relate to. • Follow up! Let your children know that you take it seriously and are respectful of their time and intentions. • Two people can make a family, and a formal sit down discussion lets the other(s) know that you believe the issue is serious enough to set time aside to address it. Family Meetings do not always need to be called to address a problem or specific situation – the regularity itself can be most successful in creating unity and consistency in your home.

Poet from Brazil stops in North Country By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — In Salgado Maranhao’s mind, “madmen laugh in the shadows of the mist.” Rattlesnakes represent the beasts, the people surrounding us in the world the awardwinning poet from Brazil shares. And always, “The breath of rhythm’s second chance,” awaits the hands that call it their own. Recently, the poet and visiting Presidential Scholar gave a bilingual reading of his book, “Blood of the Sun,” with Dr. Alexis Levitin of Plattsburgh State. They are traveling to 50 universities over three months to share the work of Maranhao, who is also a songwriter. Maranhao began his life in rural Brazil, a part of the country without a hospital or schools, where the young man would find work picking corn, beans, rice and cotton in a dry region where crops struggled to grow. His white father was descended from a wealthy family whose plantations had once been worked by slaves. His mother was intelligent and determined, a black field laborer who sang to him from a folk tradition tracing back to the lyric poetry of troubadours. His mother desired a better fate for him, and when the boy was 15 she moved them to the state capital. Maranhao didn’t know how to read or write, but he was enrolled in school and within three years he completed grades 1-12. Within four years he was a practicing journalist. He read every book in the library and wrote poetry, and attended the university for a bit. He had long listened to individuals who passed through town reciting poetry, which was in his blood. Today, he is one of Brazil’s leading contemporary poets, and his collected poems,

Alexis Levitin (left) and Salgado Maranhao at a poetry reading in Plattsburgh. “The Color of the Word,” won the country’s highest award. An earlier collection, “Mural of Winds,” was honored in 1999. In addition to eight books of poetry, he has written song lyrics and made recordings with some of Brazil’s leading jazz and pop musicians. Levitin’s translations of Maranhao’s poems have appeared in several publications. His poetry has vivid imagery and strong

social undertones, tackling an array of subjects such as lost love, morality, politics, death and race. Maranhao was impressed by the number of people who turned out in Plattsburgh to hear his poetry. “The world is saved.” In a poem, “Of the Breath,” he writes of facing the “diverse, the perverse, where tattered angels pray to vultures.” In a poem against consumerism he writes

of reflecting the “assembly line of our desires,” and “Junk that seals our eyelids shut.” Maranhao uses a mirror in one poem to take on narcissism. He told the audience after the reading that inspiration must come to the poet, who is chosen by his craft. Everyone has a gift, he said, but it is up to each and every one of us to work hard to “turn the poem into a good poem.”

Universities partner to help Lake Champlain By Stephen Bartlett

fish, plants, wildlife and growing communities. Popular areas in the region include boating, sailing, kayaking, hiking and waterskiing in the summer, and ice fishing, skating and skiing in the winter. The Lake Champlain Sea Grant tries to help individuals make informed decisions regarding the management, conservation, utilization and restoration of the region’s resources. The Lake Champlain Sea Grant focuses on promoting healthy and diverse ecosystems and sustainable human use, restoring functions and productivity of coastal and aquatic ecosystems, strengthening the economic base of Lake Champlain Basin communities and providing technical assistance to support, both economically and environmentally, the sustainable supply of safe seafood. It also provides scientific information on climate change and assists vulnerable communities with planning and practices to prevent erosion and shoreline loss. “We intend for the University of Vermont and SUNY Plattsburgh to be the lead institutions for research and outreach on critical issues such as storm water management, point-source pollution and aquatic invasive species in the Lake Champlain region,” said Leon Cammen, director of the National Sea Grant Program. “We are pleased to see Lake Champlain Sea Grant moving forward,” said Dr. Tim Mihuc, director of Plattsburgh State’s Lake Champlain Research Institute and co-director of the Lake Champlain Sea Grant Program. “Sea Grant is important for community outreach in a variety of areas, including invasive species, climate change and regional issues such as bass tournaments. SUNY Plattsburgh will continue to contribute to the success of Lake Champlain Sea Grant.” Plattsburgh State and the University of Vermont already

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – A partnership on both sides of Lake Champlain aims to promote healthy and diverse ecosystems, sustainable human use and the enjoyment of the water. The University of Vermont and Plattsburgh State are a step closer to creating a NOAA Sea Grant College program. Lake Champlain Sea Grant’s performance to date has earned it a promotion to establish the programs, which are funded by NOAA to promote the stewardship of coastal resources. The Lake Champlain Sea Grant, a cooperative program of the two schools, is part of a national network of programs located at coastal and Great Lakes colleges administered by NOAA. Since 1999, the program’s achievements have enabled it to advance to the level of “Coherent Area Program.” This new status enables Lake Champlain Sea Grant to further its efforts to improve the understanding and management of Lake Champlain, Lake George and their watersheds for long-term environmental health and sustainable economic development. “Lake Champlain Sea Grant has become a critical source of information for watershed and water quality issues, providing basin residents, community leaders and agency staff with critical research and outreach information,” said Robert Detrick, NOAA assistant administrator for the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. “The University of Vermont and the State University of New York Plattsburgh have demonstrated their ability to apply our best science to resources management issues of the Lake Champlain region.” The Lake Champlain region is home to an array of birds,

have created a Watershed Alliance, an education program that engages 1,200 school children yearly, as well as an Invasive Species Management Prevention System. The next step for Lake Champlain Sea Grant is Sea Grant Institutional Program status, the last step prior to formal designation as a Sea Grant College.

Land Trust The Area’s Largest Selection of Serta Mattresses!

from page 1 On Oct. 6, from 11 a.m. through 4 p.m., they are holding their annual Fall Festival and Pot Luck at the 236 Plumadore Road property. The event will include apple cider making, cooking demonstrations, Yoga, tree identification trail tours, bird watching, music by Adrian Carr, art and more. More information is available at newlandtrust.org. “Everything here is open to the public and free,” said Jim King, the newest board member. In fact, many people spend time on the land, including the region’s Eagle Scouts. It started as a commune with about eight people in the 1970s. “There was a barn on the property and we first renovated that into a living space,” Moore said. “And then two different couples built houses, and one was a club house.” Some of the people involved with the trust lived there off an on until a couple years ago. In 1994 it was incorporated as a 501 nonprofit. “It sort of helped to ensure the property was never sold and was always used for educational purposes and recreational purposes,” Moore said. Other uses at the property have included a sweat lodge, herb walks and a yearly gathering during the summer. Jake Swamp, founder of the Tree of Peace Society, once planted a Tree of Peace on the property. Over the past few years the property has taken on a slightly different feel, with the Scouts using it and many people coming to hike, ski and snow shoe, though it has maintained its educational and recreational component, such as a new trail for tree identification. “For me personally, it has been a great learning experience over 40 years of being involved with the same piece of land,” Moore said. “I have watched the land itself change and have seen how different people have been educated there and affected by it. Being able to grow up there has taught me a lot about the natural environment.” Moore has seen fields evolve into forests and watched some trees grow and others die. Moore, a local woodworker by trade, is excited about the festival. “It is an opportunity for people to get out and exercise,” he said. “Fall is a beautiful time of year to experience stuff and share food and community with other people and make new friends.” Moore is Libby Yokum’s brother-in-law, and she would visit the area at least once a year for the celebration. Today, she’s a board member and cares deeply about the property. She has seen changes herself as board members work to make the area even more inviting, adding a wooden bench here, a small map there and ensuring the upkeep of the trails. “A lot of people didn’t know about this resource,” Yokum said. “But this place has everything.” She urged the public to attend the Fall Festival, to learn to cook, listen to music, discover secrets about the North Country or to simply “walk the trails.”

Plattsburgh International Airport receives federal funding stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh International Airport will expand its terminal to bring in additional flights and business. The airport will also rehabilitate existing runways and complete a water and waste infrastructure project to support the expansion of the terminal and future development. Plattsburgh International Airport is able to do this through three grants totaling $6,554,491 from the Federal Aviation Administration. “This Federal Aviation Administration grant is great news and will ensure that the Plattsburgh International Airport continues to efficiently serve residents, businesses and visitors to the Plattsburgh and Montreal region, all while boosting the area’s economy,” said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer.

“These new infrastructure projects will create jobs and increase flights that are essential for growth in the area.” One grant for $2,995,891 will cover the terminal, the second for $152,200, runways, and the third, $3,407,400, water and waste. “This is a tremendous investment for Plattsburgh International Airport and the North Country,” said Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. “Expanding and upgrading infrastructure of the airport can help keep more travelers and businesses on the move in Plattsburgh, improve safety, and help create better access to the North Country to strengthen the local economy.” The Airport improvement program through the Federal Aviation Administration provides grants to public agencies, and to private owners and entities, for the planning and development of public-use airports that are included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems, published every two years, identifies public-use airports that are

important to public transportation and contribute to the needs of civil aviation, national defense and the U.S. Postal Service. The Airport Improvement Program was established by the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982. Since then, it has been amended several times, most recently with the passage of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. Funds obligated for the AIP are drawn from the Airport and Airway Trust fund, which is supported by user fees, fuel taxes, and other revenue sources. “This is a big win for Plattsburgh International Airport, for the businesses and families in the region and for the efforts to spur local development,” said Congressman Bill Owens. “With this investment, we can help increase the flow of goods and people through Clinton County, bolstering small business, tourism and other interests throughout the community. I offer my sincere congratulations to all involved for this significant award.”

Plattsburgh tree planting to save planet By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; First, they asked the Earth permission to dig a hole. In that hole, they placed a red maple, one of three such trees that day in the City of Plattsburgh. They named the trees too, calling one Angus after a young man who passed shortly before graduating from Plattsburgh State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angus (McConnon) liked trees,â&#x20AC;? said Evan Vacarr, in tears as he spoke of his friend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I miss him.â&#x20AC;? The tree planting on the green area between Margaret and Durkee streets was an environmental action by the local group People for Positive Action. More than 30 people showed up under the rain to plant the trees, as well as share poetry, song and ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concept is to share a sacred space and plant trees downtown and build a community,â&#x20AC;? said Linda Marie Hill. One of Shaun Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focuses when joining People for Positive Action was the environment, which resulted in her participation in a nationwide contest to win a grant through the environmental group 350.org. Her tree-planting idea didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win but came in sixth in the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to go ahead anyway and just started from scratch and came up with the idea to pay for them through a raffle,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell said. Next thing Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell knew, local business Cook and Gardener donated a tree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted strong shade trees, so we settled on red maples,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell said. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell needed a spot and began searching around Plattsburgh, at first investigating the bank between the Plattsburgh farmers market and the Saranac River, but it was

overgrown. Then, she turned and noticed the green area between Durkee and Margaret streets. The area is often used to host music in the summer and vines cover the sides of buildings nearby. She decided two trees would be planted near Margaret Street and the other closer to Durkee, but she had to get permission from the City of Plattsburgh first. The Common Council gave Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell the go ahead, but she still needed signatures from several agencies, a process that lasted up until the tree planting, which was expected to draw up to 100 people. The sky was dark overhead the day of the planting. A light rain wet the ground as people gathered under a small tent while others held umbrellas and some simply stood in the rain as people shared stories, poetry and song about inspirational Evan Vacarr pours ceremonial water on a red maple named after his friend Angus McConnon, who environmental efforts around the died suddenly earlier this year. world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a beautiful, symbolic and practical action to quite Jeff Cochran led everyone in a tree-planting ritual that consisted of verse and body movement, outlining the con- literally save the planet,â&#x20AC;?

PSUC serving veterans By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Roughly 12,000 schools compete for the title. Only 10 percent make the final cut. In the end, Plattsburgh State is a “Military Friendly School.” The 2013 G.I. Jobs Magazine bestowed the honor on the State University of New York school in Plattsburgh. Schools are measured by military support on campus, the level of academic accreditation and flexibility for military students. In order to receive a “Military Friendly” title, schools are also ranked in areas such as student tuition assistance and the percentage of military students enrolled. Roughly 45 percent more Plattsburgh State students are using veteran benefits than three years ago. “The admissions office is committed to any student returning from active duty so that they can enroll here at SUNY Plattsburgh,” said Rich Higgins, director of admissions. “We always have had that promise to assist whenever possible.”

Plattsburgh State’s ROTC/military studies program began in 2007. Today, the highly selective program enrolls 24 cadets who will become officers upon graduating from the program. “They have to be well-trained and mature adults,” said Lt. Col. Doug Goodfellow, chair of military studies, adjunct lecturer in sport and wellness and recruiting operations officer. Students must maintain academic excellence, act respectably and maintain top physical fitness. Goodfellow said the program is a big commitment. “My professors have always been very supportive,” said Nick Petramale, a senior cadet studying criminal justice. Cadets can get academic credit for basic training. They also receive physical fitness and first aid credits at Plattsburgh State. The school offers an honors seminar called Combat Memoirs: Valor, Trauma and the Ethics and Moral Psychology of War. Cadets also train in Vermont each semester and receive a monthly stipend once they sign up with the Army. “The program gives you something to strive for,” Petramale said. “I have responsibility.”

Chazy from page 1 “We are pleased and honored to learn of this recognition,” said Chazy Central Rural Elementary School Principal Thomas Tregan. The U.S. Education Department is honoring 219 public and 50 private schools this November in Washington, D.C. In its 30-year history, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has recognized nearly 7,000 other American schools this way. “Our nation has no greater responsibility than helping all children realize their full potential,” Duncan said. “Schools honored with the National Blue Ribbon Schools award are committed to accelerating student achievement and preparing students for success in college and careers. Their work reflects the conviction that every child has promise and that education is the surest pathway to a strong, secure future.” The National Blue Ribbon Schools award honors public and private elementary, middle and high schools where students perform at very high levels or where significant improvements are made in achievement. The program recognizes schools as “exemplary high performing” for success on assessments or nationally-normed tests, and “exemplary improving” for schools where at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds demonstrate the most progress on state assessments or nationally-normed tests. Chazy Elementary School was recognized as an exemplary high performing school. “The parents and members of this community are supportive of education and have high expectations,” Tregan said. “The faculty and staff of Chazy are hard working and dedicated to the success of the children that they serve. Our students are polite, motivated, routinely accept and meet challenges, and are a pleasure to work with.” The Education Department requests nominations from the top education official in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Department of Defense Education Activity, and the Bureau of Indian Education. The Council for American Private Education nominates private schools. “This is a wonderful school and community to raise a child,” Tregan said.

The fall feed is on!

A day with dog and gun, rod or rifle

ecent weather patterns have finally begun to exhibit a distinctly autumnal turn, the pace of life has begun to slow down, following a rather extended and tiresome, tourist season. The expected influx of leaf peppers will surely flood into the region over the next few weeks, just as the annual Big Game Hunting Season begins to unfold. It is that time of year again, when sportsmen and women are challenged to decide what to do, as there are simply too many options with trout and salmon beginning the spawn, as whitetails and black bear are lurking in the forests and birds are migrating overhead. It is a time that makes sportsmen and women smile as the woods begin to take on a fiery glow. It’s a time when we return to our roots and game animals become nervous. Soon pickup trucks will again line the back roads and camo caps and buffalo plaid jackets will again be the primary fashion of the forest. Big Buck Contests will be the lottery of the day, and the question, “Didja git yur’s yet?” will serve as a common greeting, whether at church, the local Post Office or the grocery store. Over the next few weeks, good friends will gather in old cabins to tell even older stories as part of a process of sharing a sporting tradition that spans generations. Time will slow down, darkness will come early and sleep will come easy. For outdoor enthusiasts, it simply can’t arrive soon enough. Autumn is the time when a true freedom of the hills becomes most apparent. Although it represents but a small segment of the calendar year, the fall is a timeframe when the woods become a domain inhabited primarily by the locals. While the hikers, bikers and paddlers will still be out in force, the locals will continue to take to the woods in ever increasing numbers. Rifles and packbaskets that have been handed down from father to son to grandson will be slung upon a new set of shoulders. These tools of the trade will travel along the well worn trails, and through the same swamps over which they have passed for generations. Undeniably, the sporting life is the common glue that continues to bind the far netherlands of the park together. It is an undeniable heritage that links all of the user groups together in a

The term "camp" has been used to describe a wide variety of woodland structures ranging from the most luxurious to the rustic and not quite elegant. Regardless of shape or size, all camps are designed with a common thread, to provide a simple shelter where we can go to escape the confines and conveniences of modern culture and it confounding conformities.

shared passion for outdoor adventure. Despite the park’s widely diverse interest groups, it is a common love of the land that continues to link all woodland wanderers with an historic lineage of hunters and gatherers. We must learn to accept the fact that we share a common, predatory heredity, and despite our various woodland pursuits; we are all linked by a shared passion for the outdoor life, and the pleasures we enjoy while traveling to and through such wild lands. It is a passion that remains at the very depths of our existence. We all carry this same genetic stew in our packs, and whether we decide to satisfy our innate craving for the hunt with a camera, a paddle or a .30-.30, Winchester, the fact remains, we remain indelibly linked by our shared love of the land. It is interesting to note, that a common love of nature and our desire to recreate on wild lands is not just a fleeting preoccupation. Quite obviously, it has been around for over a century as is evident in the following passage taken from the Seventh Report of the Forest, Fish and Game Commission, New York, in 1902. One hundred and ten years have passed since these words were first penned, but they ring as true today, as there were when first put to paper. “The hills have also lost, to some extent, the health-giving qualities of the soft woods, with their fragrant germ-destroying odors, the efficacy of which in curing disease is universally admitted. The air of this region is pure, clear, humid and at all times invigorating, forming one of the attractions and sources of pleasure to the tourist just from the heated, noisome atmosphere of an overcrowded city. As soon as the sun lowers in the west the temperature drops, and be the day ever so hot, the evening is cool, and the atmosphere tonic. People from inland places who are suffering from insomnia, generally experience little or no trouble in obtaining refreshing sleep with its resultant health and strength. The pursuit which takes us afield and gives us rest and exercise combined, and increases our resources by broadening our interest in nature, is not merely a pastime, but a recreation benefiting both mind and body, and better preparing us for our duties as citizens of the State. No one would think of asserting that the value of New York's game animals was to be reckoned in the terms of the bill-of-fare. A few thousand dollars would express their wealth to the butcher or restaurateur, but to the true sportsman they are an exhaustless mine of wealth. A day with dog and gun, rod or rifle may bring small return from a pecuniary point of view, but who can calculate the amount of physical good and pure enjoyment it has afforded? Game bag and creel may, indeed, be empty, while our mind is full of stimulating experiences, all increasing our eagerness to take to the field again. So the hunter of birds with opera glass and camera finds an even deeper pleasure in his excursions into their haunts and study of their ways; a pleasure for which no accounting of the value of birds to the State can ignore.”

all is here. Water temperatures on Lake Champlain are dropping into the mid 60’s, leaves are changing, and it means one thing, the bass are biting. The fall feed is on. This is by far my favorite time of the year. No hot muggy days of summer and just enough chill in the air to be comfortable. But the best part, the bass will bite just about any lure you throw. My By Howard Hammonds good friend and FLW Pro Craig Powers, calls it Spook 30 time. In the past, when Craig has come to the North Country during September, it was almost impossible to get him off the lake. I remember one day we fished so long into the evening that after dark we ran out of gas and had to approach a lakeside resident and purchase gas to get back. The whole time Craig was still casting his Zara Spook and catching smallmouth. Can you imagine 10 o’clock at night and a smallmouth exploding on topwater bait? Scary, right? So where to start, find the outside weed lines, you know the ones created by that troublesome invasive species Eurasian Milfoil. This time of the year it’s growing out to a depth of 12-15 feet. Work the weed line with top water Zara Spook or a crankbait that will run six to 10 feet deep. My personal favorites are Rapala DT 6’s and 10’s in perch colors. Since the bass are schooling up you may have to fish some long weed lines, but once you come across the school the action will begin. Usually it won’t be just one but a pack of ravenous bass all competing for your lure. I’ll keep a second lure tied on and ready, so when the school follows, I’ll pitch a tube or jig off the side of the boat and finish landing the one I have on, only to pick up my second rod and land a second fish. It’s fast and furious action. The topwater baits will work outstanding when the skies are high and blue with plenty of sun. It always amazes me that a giant smallmouth will explode on a topwater offering with the lake surface being slick and smooth. And remain calm because with a good pair of polarized sunglasses you can see them coming from deep out of the milfoil. If one misses keep working the lure, they will usually circle back and attack again. Once you find the school and catch that first fish, they will usually scatter. Not to worry, remain in the same location, pick up bottom bait like a tube or jig and catch around the area. They are still there and will usually bite your offering while they are trying to re-school. The biggest problem with fall fishing is the wind, especially in the North Country. It can be challenging and requires determination, but the rewards are great! Just remember to wear a rain suit to keep dry and keep your life jacket on as a rogue wave can put you in the drink. What is really nice is I usually have the lake to myself, as only the diehards are out this time of year. As we get deeper into fall the fish move shallower following the schools of bait. Where one day you are fishing on a deep weed line the next day they maybe schooled on shallow reefs like Motte’s or Point a Fur. Be careful with the water levels in the mid 94’s many of these reefs have only a few inches of water. l have been asked what to do about the thick weeds; it’s simple, fish horizontal. Use floating topwater baits like a frog or swimbait. Even the old Sluggo still works great, rigging them weedless you can work your bait over top of the weeds. A hungry bass will find its way thru the weeds to explode on your offering. With winter coming and my fall tournament schedule, this will be my last column for the year. I hope the column has been educational and raised your interest in our great North Country fishery. Howard Hammonds is a guide and experienced bass fisherman living in Westport.

Ian Bailey Montgomery, 12, of White Creek, NY, on a recent Sunday morning before church, caught this 19-inch, 5-pound smallmouth bass in Lake Champlain near the family camp on Willsboro Point. He was fishing alone in a rowboat using a crawfish for bait. He normally does not take a net with him but told his mother April that he took it that morning as he was trying to catch one of the large carp that prowl that area. After appropriate pictures, he released it saying he wanted to catch it again next year when it would be 5-inches longer!
