BeadforLife party raises $1,000 to support women of Uganda By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com MOOERS FORKS — On Nov. 14 many women gathered at the home of Deb Babbie to help support the women of Uganda. Dee Johnson, a friend of Babbie’s, was the first to come across the BeadforLife program, which “eradicates extreme poverty by creating bridges of understanding between impoverished Africans and concerned world citizens,” according to a pamphlet provided by BeadforLife. “I heard about [the program] first at school from some colleagues of mine,” explained Johnson, who is a librarian at the Northeastern
Clinton Central School Middle High School. “They do BeadforLife for teachers.” Johnson shared what she’d learned at school with Babbie when they were chatting about different things they could do. “I said, ‘Have you ever heard of BeadforLife?’” said Johnson. “Got talking, sent her the e-mail, she did all of the leg work to get it here.” Johnson and her husband Al, of Mooers, are always looking to support local businesses and to get Fair Trade events in the area. “There aren’t many in this area,” Johnson said. “Especially because BeadforLife helps women make a sustainable life. And it’s unique.” Babbie took it upon herself to run with the idea and con-
tacted BeadforLife, which is a Fair Trade Federation member. According to www.fairtradefederation.org, FTF is “part of the global fair trade movement, building equitable and sustainable trading partnerships and creating opportunities to alleviate poverty.” The way BeadforLife works is Ugandan women create beads out of strips of colorful, recycled paper, string them together to form jewelry — a process which can take a week to complete. When Babbie contacted the organization, she told them when she was hoping to have the party, which needs to be four to six weeks in the future, and they send a box of

CHAZY — The Chazy Public Library sponsored local composer and pianist Adrian Carr for his New York State Decentralization Grant. On Nov. 15, he returned the favor. Carr performed a string of songs at the Chazy Central Rural School auditorium following an opening performance by local quintet the After Five Brass. “[The library] sponsored me for the decentralization grant a year ago and so this was, I felt, a great thing to do,” explained Carr. “It was just kind of a giving back to the community for being so nice to me.” Chazy Public Library director Francie Fairchild, who had never seen Carr in concert before, thoroughly enjoyed the concert. “Beautiful playing. Interesting composition,” Fairchild said. “I bought a couple of his CDs for the library to have.” Fairchild said one of the reasons the library chose to sponsor Carr for his grant was to make a connection for the library. “We like to connect with outside

“She’s been talking about it for the last four or five years,” said Justin. “‘I’m done this year. I’m done, I’m done.’ Then finally I think she had enough. Finally decided it was time.” One of the reasons why the Blue Note Restaurant was so successful for so many years, is because it was the place for locals to go. “Everybody solved problems there and different things like that,” laughed Betty Jean. “It was just a meeting place. We’ve seen a lot of people come and go. Plus ... everything was home cooked.” One of the biggest problems Betty Jean now faces in retirement is sleeping in. “I can’t get used to staying in bed longer than 4:30 a.m.,” she said. “I always got up at 4:30 a.m. because we made our own donuts.” “I’m happy for her. She’s enjoying her time off now,” said Justin. I think she misses being there in the morning around all the regular customers.” As for the future of the building, Betty Jean plans to sell it. “I don’t know if anything will come before spring, but that’s what we want to do anyway.” If the building cannot sell as a restaurant, they will do something else with it. “I don’t like to see empty buildings, especially one that has been there so long.”

DHCR program targets $5 million to replace dilapidated mobile and manufactured homes ALBANY — Division of Housing and Community Renewal is responding to an important need in rural communities with a new initiative to provide safer, more affordable homes for low-income individuals and families by replacing severely substandard and dilapidated mobile and manufactured homes with new Energy Star Qualified manufactured housing. The new statewide Manufactured Home Replacement Initiative targets $5 million in NYS HOME Program funds for the replacement of dilapidated owner-occupied mobile and manufactured homes sited on land owned by the homeowner. It also increases the award limit under HOME by sixty-six percent, from $30,000 to $50,000. DHCR’s 2009 Regional Housing Needs studies of the North Country, Finger Lakes, and Western New York Regions highlighted the critical role mobile and manufactured homes play in affordable housing across the state. The studies also underscored the severe deterioration of many of these homes, particularly those built prior to 1976 when the use of tin roofs, metal siding, and inefficient windows was commonplace. Gov. David A. Paterson said, “We are reaching out to communities at the grassroots level, listening to their concerns, and developing policies that speak directly to the issues. With this new initiative, New York State is re-
sponding to a crucial need that has been ignored for too long. As a result of the new Manufactured Home Replacement Initiative, more low-income people and families across the state will live in safer, more affordable homes, and rural areas will be revitalized.” DHCR commissioner Deborah VanAmerongen said, “In the process of conducting focus group meetings, DHCR hear repeatedly that the need to invest in improving the stock of manufactured housing is great and has been ignored for some time. More than half a million New Yorkers live in manufactured or mobile homes. Mobile and manufactured homes fill a critical gap in affordable housing for low-income people, but too many are in substandard, dangerous condition and the cost of repairs is unrealistic and unaffordable. DHCR’s HOME Program funds will provide zero-interest loans to homeowners to replace the most dilapidated of mobile and manufactured housing with new, energy-efficient manufactured homes.” DHCR’s MHRI will help meet the cost of the new manufactured home, site work, transportation of the new home, set-up, and removal and demolition of old home. Awards will be granted to eligible program administrators, and homeowners will apply directly to awardees. Recipients of new manufactured homes must have household
earnings at 80 percent or less of Area Median Income. Commissioner VanAmerongen announced the program at the Rural Housing Coalition’s annual conference in Saratoga Springs. Blair Sebastian, executive director the New York State Rural Housing Coalition said, “There is a real need for this program in rural communities across the state. I commend commissioner VanAmerongen and DHCR for targeting resources toward improving the quality of manufactured housing stock and the quality of life of people in rural communities.” Nancy Geer, executive director of the New York Housing Association said, “For more than 60 years, manufactured homes have provided affordable housing for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. Over the years, new construction techniques and innovative technologies have resulted in Energy Star rated buildings and appliances. The New York Housing Association applauds the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal’s initiative to replace Pre-HUD mobile homes with new Energy Star manufactured homes. These new Energy Star homes will not only provide homeowners with savings on their utility bills, they will provide them with overall improved, more efficient shelter.” Commissioner VanAmerongen said an important benefit of the program is the oppor-

t’s that time of the year again, the gathering for the Thanksgiving holiday and the plotting for a successful Black Friday shopping extravaganza. By leveraging the technology at our finger tips, savvy shoppers can gain the upper hand. Everyone grabs the newspaper flyer and now quite a few visit the retailer ’s Web site for information. Another method is a simple visit to the retailer asking what the deals will be. An all-in-one resource is the Black Friday Web site, which claims to be “…the official site for all of the 2009 Black Friday ads…” Find the site at www.blackfriday.info. The best electronics deals this year are reported to be on netbooks, low-end laptops, televisions and peripherals like Blu-ray and other players. There’s no doubt some great deals can be found but, given the nature of crash and dash Black Friday, the browsing time is zilch so preparation is key. Once the deals are found, take the time to investigate a few days ahead of time to determine if the item is good enough quality to meet the need. This is especially important if a gigantic TV is on the wish list. Understand the hookup in the store and consider if the hookup at home is similar. Know the clarity on the set is driven by the input, so ask the associate to explain how the set in the store is con-

Another secret: Some days are better than others
O
ver the past few months, I’ve shared a lot of the best secrets for saving on your grocery bill with coupons. But are you ready for one of the biggest secrets of all? Even more surprisingly, this one does not involve a single coupon.
The day of the week we shop makes a huge difference how much money we can save To understand this tip, consider this: Many grocery stores run two sales cycles each week. One flier comes out on Thursday and runs for seven days. This is the “long” cycle, which runs Thursday-to-Wednesday. But the same stores often have a second sales flier that comes out on Sundays and runs for four days. This is the “short” cycle, which runs Sunday-to-Wednesday. Now, look at a calendar and pay attention to the days. There are four days each week when both cycles and sales fliers overlap: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If your store participates in two sales cycles, these are the days you want to shop in order to maximize your savings. By shopping Monday through Wednesday, you gain the advantage of two concurrent sales rather than just one. Why do stores do this? Look at the remaining three days in the week: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These are busy days for a grocery store. Statistically speaking, they’re also the days people are most likely to shop without much forethought. The weekend is approaching, the workweek is almost done and people head to the store. By contrast, when Sunday rolls around and the new week arrives, store traffic drops off. The store issues more sales and more deals on those days in order to drive traffic back into the store. These are the days we want to shop! People often ask me how many times I’m at the grocery store during the week (I can’t imagine why, but many people are under the impression that I practically live there!) The truth is much less exciting. I really do shop just once a week.
But I always shop on one of the days when both sales fliers are active. Another reason to shop earlier in the week is stores will raise prices on many items later in the week. My store recently had a sale on a brand-name cereal. At $1.25 a box, it was already a great price; with a $1 coupon, I took it home for a quarter. That sale ran Sunday through Wednesday. On Thursday, the same cereal was still on “sale,” but the new sale price? $2.50 a box. The price doubled in one day! This is one of those hidden little games the stores play, too. The same items may be on sale, but the sale price is a By Jill Cataldo lot less attractive as the higher-traffic shopping days approach If you never clipped a single coupon, you would save a great deal of money just by shopping earlier in the week. If I had purchased my cereal on Thursday instead of Wednesday, I would have paid twice the price! Now, think about many other items in the grocery store take similar jumps in prices as the end of the week nears, and you’ll see why it makes sense to shop on the days the sales overlap. If you need even more convincing, consider what happens when the same product is on sale in both sales fliers. I’ve seen crackers on sale for $1.99 in the long-cycle flier while in the short cycle flier, the same crackers were on sale Buy One, Get One Free! The smart shopper who is in the store on the days that the sales overlap, will not only get the crackers for $1.99, they’ll take home a second package for free. And if they use a coupon on each box ... Oh, the possibilities!

The Turkey Trot: A Thanksgiving tradition By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PERU — The Peru Lions Club has celebrated a traditional holiday for the last 32 years in an untraditional way. Every Thanksgiving, the nonprofit community service organization steps away from the tradition of football, turkey and relaxation and takes part in something a little different — The John P. Adams Memorial Turkey Trot. “[Adams] was a runner himself,” said cofounder Larry Ewald. “He was interested in it and thought it would be a good thing for the Lions Club to get behind.” Today, the race sees nearly 400 competitors from all around the North Country and beyond. Racers begin at Peru Intermediate School and can compete in a one-mile fun run, a 5-kilometer or a 10kilometer race, throughout a local orchard. “I think running is getting to be more popular these days,” Ewald said. “As a result, I think people look forward to it.” Ewald has found some people have competed in the Turkey Trot nearly every year since it began. “We’ve had these Turkey Trots in driving snow storms. Yet the people still show up,” laughed Ewald. Every year, the race begins at 9 a.m., yet Ewald
is urging people this year to show up well in advance. “Always at 9 a.m. we’ve got a line,” Ewald said. “People trying to squeeze in there.” Ewald believes one of the reasons the Turkey Trot has become such a tradition is because it’s a time for people to get out and socialize with their neighbors. “A lot of these people don’t see each other all year,” Ewald said. Another aspect of the race that keeps it so traditional, is it never changes. “It’s pretty much the same each year,” Ewald explained. “I think we’ve run the same set up probably the last 10 years. It’s pretty definite. People ... seem to enjoy the fact that it is carried out the same way each year.” The entry fee for the 5- and 10-kilometer racers is $15 and the fun run entry fee is $5. The winner of each race will receive a turkey and a trophy. There will also be turkeys raffled off to those interested. Other prizes will be raffled off at random to anyone entered in one of the three races. The fun run begins at 9 a.m., with the 5- and 10kilometer races immediately following. Sign-up begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Peru Intermediate School cafeteria. For more information contact Ewald at 643-8506 or Jim McCarty at 561-1572.

Heart Walk team raises funds, awareness for Seton student PLATTSBURGH — If you ask Debra LaPorte, there are very few times in a year when an entire community comes together. However, on Sept. 26, more than 50 students, family, and friends did just that as they joined together to form the team “Nick’s Knights” for the Plattsburgh Start! Heart Walk. “This is the third year we’ve come together and every year I continue to be amazed by the outpouring of support,” said Debra, who served as team captain. The Chazy woman is the mother of the late Nicholas LaPorte, who was 14 years old when he died of an undetected heart condition in May 2006. Nicholas’ brother, Noah, joined his mother in raising money this year, setting a goal of $500. The Seton Academy fifth-grader solicited dona-
tions by asking his fellow students to purchase a red, silver or gold heart. The response was overwhelming. “I didn’t think I would do so good, but every day I got more donations, even from the teachers, said Noah, who also raised money by returning bottles and bringing clothes that no longer fit him to a local thrift shop. In total, he raised $642. Building on her brother ’s example, Cailee LaPorte raised funds at Seton Catholic through heart sales. “Everyone still remembers my brother,” she said. “All his friends are really nice to me and treat me just like a little sister. It’s a very nice feeling.” Cailee additionally solicited family and friends to support her effort. In total, she raised $506 toward the cause. Another $500 club member
and Seton Catholic High School senior, Alexa Cosgro, raised $560 to help Nick’s Knights gain “Superstar” team status. Superstar teams raise $3,000 or more and are given special recognition at the walk. “The fact that many of Nick’s classmates from Seton Catholic participate in the Heart Walk is a great testament to the concern that our students have for one another,” said Paul Spilman, Seton Catholic Education Council president and a member of Nick’s Knights. “Events like the Heart Walk showcase the true family spirit of Seton Catholic.” “Most people who participate are doing so because they are either a survivor or have a loved one who has passed on [because of heart disease],” said Debra. “ We are no dif-

ferent in that respect, but what it truly remarkable is the continued show of support for Nick by his friends. They come out and walk, and their parents support the effort by making a donation.” The Plattsburgh Start!
Heart Walk raised more than $167,000 and is one of thousands of walks sponsored by the American Heart Association throughout the country. All revenue generated from this event fights cardiovascular disease and stroke — the
number one cause of death in the U.S. Currently, the AHA is investing more than $147 million in valuable biomedical research at institutions throughout the nation.

Holiday Train returning week of Thanksgiving By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com
I
t’s that time of year when Santa Claus can be seen traveling through the North Country — on the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train. The Holiday Train will be making its way through the region next week, making stops from Rouses Point to Scranton, Pa., collecting food and money for local food shelves and offering some entertainment at the same time. Michael LoVecchio, a representative for Canadian Pacific, said the Holiday Train program has helped raise more than $4 million and collect 2 million pounds of food since it began in 1999. “When we started the Holiday Train program 11 years ago, the thought was we wanted a way for company employees to make a difference in the communities where they live,” explained LoVecchio. The enthusiasm employees had for the idea was overwhelming, he added, with reaction in the communities equally as amazing. “It’s very rewarding for CP
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will return to the North Country next week with stops in Rouses Point Thursday, Nov. 26, and Plattsburgh Monday, Nov. 30.

neighbors. It’s nice to be able to do something for them.” Each year, the Holiday Train stops and opens its boxcar stage for performances by various well-known recording artists. This year, Shaun Verreault, best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist for the Canadian band Wide
Mouth Mason, will return for a repeat performance. Verreault will be joined by contemporary American folk musician Willy Porter; Canadian singer and songwriter Adam Puddington; and Prescott, a brother and sister duo featuring third-generation Canadian musicians Kaylen and Kel-

ly Prescott. During each stop, the community is encouraged to bring donations for their local food shelf. Canadian Pacific then presents the donations and a check to the nonprofit organizations. “Demand for food pantry services is way up, so we’re asking Holiday Train fans, as they do every year, to come down and to please be generous in their donations to their
local food shelves,” said LoVecchio. The stop in Rouses Point will benefit the food shelf at St. Patrick’s Church on Lake Street. The only other stop in Clinton County — the Amtrak station in Plattsburgh — will benefit the Joint Council for Economic Opportunities of Clinton and Franklin Counties, which operates outreach centers throughout the North Country. The Holiday Train’s first stop will be at the Amtrak station on Pratt Street in Rouses Point on the night of Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 26. The train is scheduled to stop at approximately 11 p.m. The train will continue on to stops in Pennsylvania and southern New York before returning to the North Country Monday, Nov. 30. On that day, the train will make stops in Saratoga Springs, Fort Edward, Whitehall, Ticonderoga and Port Henry before making its last stop at the Amtrak station in Plattsburgh at approximately 9:15 p.m. In addition to the train visiting the Northeast, Canadian Pacific will also have Holiday Trains visiting more than 130 communities throughout the Midwest and Canada through mid-December.

Type I people tend to be much leaner.” Reid further explained one of the major risk factors for type II diabetes is obesity. “It makes the cells in their body resistant to the insulin that’s produced.” Aside from weight management, the class also helps people to understand blood glucose monitoring — how to use a meter and what the target levels should be. “We find that some patients, they’ll say they were diagnosed with diabetes ... but they really don’t know sometimes .... what targets they should be working toward for blood glucose.” Reid explained many people who join the education class bring a partner with them for support. “It’s kind of a support ... that helps to motivate them,” she said. “Keep them going. Not to nag at them, but it’s also a good thing to have somebody else who is close by you to learn what you’re learning so that they don’t nag.” At the end of the four weeks, clients will have completed nine hours of education, leaving them with one hour to be used as one-on-one time with a dietitian or nurse. If one-on-one time is preferred by a client, they can opt to take the self management course as an individual with a nurse or dietitian. “Some people don’t learn well in a group and they would prefer to do that,” said Reid. “We can still go through 10 hours, or Dietitian Charlotte Gosrich, left, marks down the weight of a client at the Diabetes Self six hours, or eight hours, whatever it Management Education course.

Come with your ... insulin and we can talk to you about how the insulin works, how to use it,” Reid said. “So it kind of decreases frustration.” Currently Reid and registered dietitian Ann Watts are both certified insulin pump trainers and can start people on insulin pumps, with a doctors referral. The center also offers a continuous blood glucose monitoring for diagnostic purposes, over the course of three days. The monitor records the blood sugar levels and after three days the client comes back to the office, the information is printed out and the client can see what their levels are during the times they do not typically test.’ “We can look at that report and we can see ‘Oh, it looks like every morning at 4 a.m. you’re dropping your blood sugar. It can be the reason why X, Y, Z happens,’” Reid explained. “It’s kind of a nice thing we offer.” The DEC also provides assistance to women who have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and how to manage it during the course of the pregnancy. If interested in joining the Diabetes Self Management Education course, contact the DEC at 562-7326. A referral from a physician or primary care provider is required. The center also has a Diabetes Support Group, which meets the third Tuesday of each month at CVPH. For more information about the support group, contact William McCall at 562-7325.

tatistically speaking, Americans are extremely generous. Consider the fact that in 2008, charitable giving in the United States exceeded $300 billion for the second year in a row — despite the fact many people in every part of the country are feeling the strains of recession and job loss. One of the reasons charitable giving has remained strong is the variety of options that exist for giving and the fact many donations can be taken as tax deductions. Here are some of the most common — and most convenient — ways to give: • Write a check — Traditionally, this has been the most common way to donate. Many organizations hold annual fundraising campaigns through the mail or the media, and writing a check once or more each year is still convenient for many people. It’s important to make sure, however, the organization you’re supporting is legitimate. Never send money to an organization you’re not familiar with or whose solicitation materials are suspect. • The gift of goods — Many people donate their used or unwanted items to charities, thrift shops, schools or shelters. These donations are typically taxdeductible, so be sure to ask for a receipt. • Shop for a cause — Today, an increasing number of purchases can support charitable causes, from name-brand products linked to charitable organizations, such as the Product(Red) items from Apple, the Gap, Starbucks, and other major retailers that trigger donations to fight AIDS in Africa; to brand-specific programs, such as the commitment by TOMS Shoes to give away a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair it sells. • Make a microloan — A number of organizations have been established in recent years that specialize in microlending — the making of small loans to individuals or small groups in impoverished areas to encourage entrepreneurship. Kiva (www.kiva.org) is among the best known and most successful microlending organizations worldwide. • One-stop giving — Network for Good is an exciting and convenient resource for making charitable donations online. The organization’s Web site (www.networkforgood.org) allows you to research and give to any of 1.5 million charities. The site also stores your donation history for tax purposes and keeps a list of your favorite charities.

• Where there’s a will, there’s a way — Many people designate gifts to charity in their wills. These bequests can be in the form of a specific amount of money, a portion of an estate, a particular asset, a trust or the naming of an organization as a beneficiary. Wills can also specify how the donation is to be used, such as for a specific program, for scholarship or endowment funds or for use in a particular geographic region.
We carry scale models, pedal riding tractors and remote control backhoes.
Other items to donate • Vehicles — Many charitable organizations will accept donations of cars in almost any condition— running or not. Typically, these organizations will pick up the cars, sell them and use the proceeds to fund their programs. Not only can donating an old car be easier than selling it yourself, but you can claim the car ’s value as a tax deduction. • Computers and other tech gear — Many charitable and nonprofit organizations, particularly schools and religious organizations, will accept donations of computers, fax machines, printers and other tech gear if they are still useable. • Food — Donations of canned or packaged goods can be made to local food banks and shelters. On the Feeding America Web site (www.feedingamerica.org) prospective donors can find a food bank in your community, volunteer opportunities and ways to donate money to combat hunger. • Pet supplies — The Humane Society (www.hsus.org) can put prospective donors in touch with animal shelters in your area that would welcome donations of unopened pet food and items such as cages, food/water bowls and leashes. • Eyeglasses — Your old eyeglasses can be recycled for use by people in need. Groups such as Lions Clubs can recycle an old pair of eyeglasses for as little as eight cents each. Ask if there is a Lions Club collection box in your community. Old eyeglasses can also be dropped off at any Goodwill Industries collection site and LensCrafters store. • Musical instruments — Give the gift of music to a child by donating your old musical instruments to a local school. Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation (www.mhopus.org) will refurbish instruments and donate them to underfunded school music programs.

It seemed that everybody really enjoyed the concert. It’s a wonderful place to play.” For the future, Carr hopes there may be more possibilities to play for the community at the school. “I think there’s definitely a possibility of more things on the horizon,” he said.

SATURDAY November 21, 2009
Man battles for his life with monster buck as he tossed small chunks of wood into the bucket of a skid steer he owns. A lifelong native of Moira, Dabiew said he paid little attention when a large buck crossed the road in front of him. After all, he’d seen plenty of deer in the woods near his home, but the sequence of events that was about to play out was something Dabiew had never seen, or heard of before. “They don’t usually walk right up to you, but this deer was coming right at me,” he recalled. At 30 feet, the buck lowered his antlers and charged. Knocked to the ground and fighting for his life, all Dabiew could think was he had to defend himself or the deer was going to kill him. “So I fought with it. I wrapped my legs
G
erald Dabiew Jr. said he feels lucky to be alive after a near 20-minute battle with a 10-point buck last Friday during which he was repeatedly slammed to the ground by the powerful animal. “I have never been so scared in all my life,” the 56-year-old said about the harrowing ordeal that transpired near his remote home in Moira — a small community at the northern tip of the Adirondack Park outside Malone. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,” Dabiew said in a low voice, then added “... and I never want to see it again.” Dabiew said the story unfolded as he was collecting firewood along a log road behind his home. It was early afternoon and clear skies made the job more bearable
around its neck and locked my arms and hands in its horns and squeezed for all I was worth as it pounded me into the ground,” he said. Minutes seemed like hours as the huge buck continuously picked Dabiew’s 230pound frame up atop its head and slammed him to the ground, driving him into rocks and stumps. Exhausted, Dabiew said it was all he could do to hold on, but he was sure the deer would gore him if he let go and adrenaline kept him battling on. Luckily, Dabiew said he wasn’t the only one getting tired. “He was tired himself, slowing down and breathing heavy,” Dabiew said. “He couldn’t move his head without moving me with it.” Eventually, however, Dabiew could hold on no longer, and his grip on the antlers slipped. As he fell backward, he kicked at the deer, causing it to rear up and rake the side of his face with its hooves. Then, Dabiew saw his opening.
“After that, he walked a few feet away, stopped and just stood there looking back at me. That gave me time to pull myself into the skid steer. I wasn’t about to stick around for anymore,” he said. Bruised, bloodied and covered in mud, Dabiew used his cell phone to call for help. X-Rays showed no broken bones, but Dabiew was left with cuts and bruises all over his body as well as a gored right hand. “I’m black and blue from head to toe,” he said. A longtime corrections officer at Upstate Correctional, Dabiew said he doesn’t scare easy. “But I knew this thing was trying to kill me,” he said. “That is a feeling you never forget.” Dabiew said he cannot speculate what might of provoked the buck. He said a friend suggested the sound of the wood hitting the inside of the skid steer ’s bucket might have sounded like antlers rattling together. The sound of two bucks fighting often makes a dominant buck aggressive — especially during breeding season, which happens in November in the Adirondacks. While Dabiew said he has never hunted, he said he’ll think twice before going back in the woods unarmed — especially during breeding season. “Who would think that the thing would do something like that,” he said. “That deer was pissed.” John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications and an avid outdoorsmen.
