Locally-produced beef jerky getting shipped overseas By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com WEST CHAZY — Care packages are constantly being sent overseas to troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, one local business is sending a little something to them as well. Shane Dutil, the “go-to” man for Jeezum Crow Beef Jerky, a product line of D & D Meats has sent 900 bags of beef jerky overseas, each weighing about a quarterpound. In a letter Dutil sends to local organizations and businesses, he explained a friend of his was buying the beef jerky for his son-in-law who was stationed in the south. “He mentioned that this
would probably be the last time he would be sending jerky down there because he was being deployed to Iraq for the second time,” Dutil explained in the letter. “All of a sudden it hit me and I went to the back and handed him a bunch of extra bags and I said, ‘You tell Chad we are proud of what he is doing and that he is over there so I don’t have to be.’” From there, the Jeezum Crow Jerky Drive was born. Dutil began asking local businesses and organizations to help fund the drive, which sends the jerky to soldiers affiliated with the area. “If someone makes a donation or someone just wants to give us a name ... [we can] send it to them,” he explained. “We give them an
additional 25 to 100 bags and we have them disperse them among their platoon unit. It’s more personalized. It’s going to an exact name.” The drive, which began about a month ago, has received support from more than 20 businesses and organizations, which helps ease the cost of sending the shipments overseas. “Our funds are used for buying the meat at cost, exactly what we pay for it from our companies,” Dutil explained. “We cut it, marinate it, season it, all free labor intense.” Dutil hopes to continue sending the beef jerky overseas, as long as donations keep coming into to fund the drive. See JERKY, page 2

CHAZY — On the afternoon of Dec. 13, Francis “Frankie” Garrow IV, 18, died in a car crash on Ratta Road. Those who knew him, remember him with fond memories. “Frankie was the best person ever,” said Katya Howells, a classmate of Frankie’s at Chazy Central Rural School. “He always got along with anybody.” Howells worked alongside Frankie as a teacher ’s assistant at the school’s library. “Frankie was an integral part of the high school library this fall,” explained library media specialist Steven Patnode. “His interest surprised me, but it was clearly genuine and sure enough, he made his indelible mark on the library.” See FRANKIE, page 3

Outdoor bike ranch eyes ways to take the fun indoors By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com WEST CHAZY — After a successful year of clearing trails and hosting mountain bike races, the Adirondack Bike Ranch works toward moving inside. Bike ranch organizer Paul Maggy is spending the cold winter months turning an old miniature horse arena into an indoor bike park, which is located on the same land as the Adirondack Bike Ranch, at 90 Blue Chip Way. “A year ago we really started planning it, but we actually started putting physical labor into taking it apart, grading it down to dirt, getting it level and ready to start building a ... terrain park about two months ago,” Maggy explained. Maggy’s plan for the indoor park is to have a pump track, which is designed for flow a mountain bike up and over hills and around corners, instead of pedaling, manmade bridges, teeter-totters, and dirt jumps, “Right now we are privately-funded,” he explained. “Everything that we have done has been out of pocket.” However, Maggy is currently awaiting news that could change that. “We have applied for a regional trails program grant through the state of New York,” he said. “We met all the criteria ... and now we are being ranked as far as points on the economy in the area, the need for it, the community’s backing behind it, how much we are working with the community to get it out there.” If approved for the grant, Maggy said they
will receive $600,000, which will help speed up the process to completing the bike park. “We’re working on all of this without the grant,” he said. “Because it is still our project, whether we get a grant to do it or not. We’re still working every day to make it happen.” As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Maggy is also looking to the community for more support. “We’ve got to get the community behind us,” he explained. “We’ve got to get people actively knowing what mountain biking and biking in general can do to your general health and overall health of the community.” “We are trying to open up a whole new industry in the area,” he added. “Which would be a year-round recreational use.” Maggy hopes to have the bike park complete by the end of the winter, so people can start practicing for the warmer months. “It’ll be a lot of interconnecting bridges and network trails that will be indoors with different skill levels,” Maggy explained. “Working on all these skills this winter will keep everybody in a lot better shape and ready to ride in the spring. That’s kind of what we’re looking for.” The Adirondack Bike Ranch will be one of the first mountain bike trail systems to have an indoor bike park in the country. Currently, there is a bike park in Ohio, Maggy explained, however it is privately-owned. The other park, which is not completed yet, is in Colorado, and is a city project.
Jerky From page 1 “We just had a customer that came in, bought two bags of beef jerky, gave us a $20 bill towards it,” Dutil said. “We’ve had people that can’t afford to help us out, but they come help us pack the stuff up. Which is just as important.” One of the organizations which has helped the drive is the Blue Star Mothers and Dads, who adopted a platoon from Fort Drum. They have been sending the soldiers care packages, which include Jeezum Crow Beef Jerky. “A lot of soldiers are confused with the ‘Jeezum Crow,’” laughed Dutil. “So, the one local soldier usually has to explain what it means, then they make it a good comedy act

“This is going to be the only indoor and outdoor, having both in one spot,” Maggy said. “It’s on a different scale, what we’re doing. We’re trying to put this together in this area, grassroots, do it on our own.” Although West Chazy may not seem an obvious choice for a mountain biking destination, Maggy feels its location has a lot of perks. “This is my parents’ property. This is family land that has been in the family for along time,” Maggy said. “The property itself lends itself to mountain biking perfectly, being the terrain is varied. Uphill. Downhill. There’s not a lot of level riding. It’s a true mountain bike landscape.” Maggy added he believes it will also draw
down there.” Platoon Sgt. Chad W. Pipkin, for whom the idea of the jerky drive originated, recently wrote an e-mail to Dutil, explaining his appreciation for receiving the beef jerky package. “My boys and I spend 12 to 18 hours a day out on the roads doing route clearance, and most of the time we do not eat,” wrote Pipkin. “What we do is stick small things in our pockets, crackers and whatnot, and your jerky.” “My gunners appreciate it the most,” he added, “because they have it the hardest. They never come off their guns and get all their food passed up to them. They ask if there is any of that Jeezum Crow left.” Toward the end of the letter Dutil sends to the local businesses, he wrote, “I have been shipping as much jerky as possible to our troops overseas with the help of dedicated family members, parents of soldiers, friends, and fellow soldiers
people from Vermont, New Hampshire, Albany and Montreal. “Especially in the winter, being there is no riding in the North Country or the Northeast in the winter time,” he said. “There’s enough people that ride in that larger area that probably wouldn’t mind traveling for a really nice indoor terrain park.” Maggy is looking for any volunteers to help build bridges for the indoor park. “If we could get two or three good work days, we could have the indoor bike ranch ridable and people could come up here and start riding,” he said.

to show them that we are proud of what they are doing for our country.” In the letter, he lists the businesses and organizations helping to fund the drive, which he hopes people will support “the same way they support our troops.” The following businesses and organizations are involved in helping keep the Jeezum Crow Jerky Drive running: Woodmen of the World; D & D Meats and M & S Autobody and Off Road Supply, West Chazy; Knights of Columbus Council 3525, Freeport Forwarding, and Twin Town True Value Hardware, Champlain; The Perfect Cut Lawncare and Blue Star Mothers and Dads, Rouses Point; Perkins Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, High Peaks Dental Care, Coke Bottling Company, Lee Appliance Co.

Frankie From page 1 According to Patnode, Frankie would often recommend books to other students, which made them more likely to be checked out. “If Frankie liked it, it must be good,” he said. “I am grateful for him for his true dedication to our CCRS library, and I will miss watching his life unfold.” Howells recalled the last day she saw Frankie, which was at the library, the day before the accident. “We were in our TA class, just him and I,” she said. “I was over by the sink washing my coffee cup, and Frankie decided to try and crawl around the counter to scare me.” Frankie, however, was stopped by Robert McAuliffe, Frankie’s soccer coach and a teacher at the school. “[McAuliffe] told me later on that he wished he would have let him scare me,” Howells said. “Funny thing is when Frankie came back into the room, he still managed to scare me. I’ll never forget that last day with him. I will always treasure it in my heart.” Many other friends of Frankie remember him has a funny kid, who always made others smile and laugh. “Frankie was always oneof-a-kind,” said David Aucoin, a friend and neighbor of Frankie. “He would not let anyone get to him. He could always make anyone laugh with a silly joke or just smiling at you.” Aucoin remembered sharing his childhood with Frankie, playing in the woods
together, riding four-wheelers, and playing flashlight tag and hide and seek. “I will always miss him and I’ll never forget him,” Aucoin said. Candice Panetta, a 2009 CCRS graduate who attended Upward Bound with Frankie, also had fond memories of Frankie during her childhood. “[I can] remember being at his cousin Jessica Thibault’s house when we were younger and for some reason spitting on his bare back,” Panetta recalled. “Now, every time a rain drop hits me on the back, I’ll know it’s just Frankie getting his revenge.” Panetta also remembered being pushed into the pool by Frankie, whenever he walked by her. “That was just like him, but I couldn’t get mad and we would just laugh about it,” she said. Nicole French, who went to CCRS from grade 5-8, admits she was not “best friends” with Frankie, but believes he was a “good friend to everyone.” “He would always make me smile when I looked upset, and many others for that matter,” French said. She believes Frankie’s “amazing cheerfulness” came from his mother, Irene Garrow. “I’m not extremely close to the family, but when we’d see each other, there was never a time where a ‘hello’ wasn’t said,” French explained. To her, Frankie “touched everyone in the community of Chazy.” Panetta shared similar sentiments, saying, “Everyone who knew him has been changed forever.”

appy New Year everyone, is the list of New Year resolutions stuck on the fridge yet? My resolutions are usually related to exploring tech areas I’m weak in. This year, the area is Voice over IP, or VoIP. Computer networks today are quickly moving toward convergence, which is using one physical network to carry voice and video along with the data it always carried. Converged networks allow organizations to be more efficient and cut costs by not maintaining separate networks for each service. Many networks, including the Internet, are based on packet-switching technologies. Carrying data on the network consists of breaking it into small pieces called packets, sending the packets across the network and reassembling them at the destination. Packets lost in transit are resent automatically as necessary. The process is far more economical than the older telephone circuit-switched technology. Sending documents is simple enough, but what about packetizing the human voice for network transfer? Not only do all the pieces have to arrive, they have to arrive quickly and in the correct order or the result sounds like a really, really bad cell phone conversation. Nothing beats hands-on time when learning something new. To learn VoIP I needed a PBX, a routing switch and some IP telephones. The PBX is basically a PC with special soft-
ware so I built one with spare PC parts and installed the open source Asterisk program. Ebay provided a new Intel routing switch for less than a hundred bucks but IP phones, even used ones are not cheap. My happy ending was provided by the good folks at TwinState who generously donated three brandnew Mitel IP phones. Thank you TwinState! With all the necessary By Ron Poland components and “Learn VoIP” stuck prominently on the fridge, I’m ready to become a better teacher. What’s your technology resolution?

Here are some tips: • Bring along spare parts for equipment, such as extra tubes and valves for oxygen tanks, or inner tubes for wheelchairs, insulin supplies, etc. Pack a spare pair of eyeglasses, too. • At the same time, take care to not overpack suitcases. If your suitcase feels too heavy to carry any distance, you may want to re-pack, eliminating some items. • Consider purchasing traveler ’s checks to carry, in addition to cash. • Plan for the weather you will be traveling in, as well as the weather at your destination. Dress yourself and the person in your care in light layers. • When traveling any distance in the winter, always have a blanket, flashlight, bottled water, and non-perishable snacks packed in the trunk. Make sure cell phones are charged, and don’t forget to pack an automobile-compatible cell-phone charger. • Make sure someone knows your itinerary and travel plans, and if any major detours or delays occur, keep them informed.
• If you are flying and will need special assistance prior to boarding, let the airline know when you make your reservations. This will help you avoid unnecessary delays. • Plan regular stops along the way, to avoid travel fatigue for both you and the person in your care. Even a quick 5-10 minute stop can help rejuvenate you. • Try to keep things fun. Listen to music you both will enjoy. Talk about the different sights you see on the road. Treat the experience as an adventure for the two of you!

Why coupon’s fine print may be your friend
L
ast week, we discussed how to handle confused cashiers who may try to incorrectly limit our coupon usage in one way or another. The key to eliminating most cashier confusion is to familiarize yourself with the store’s coupon policy, which states all of the store’s rules for accepting coupons. And while it’s true most cashiers are familiar with what kinds and types of coupons the store will accept, there are also times when a cashier may mistakenly inform you the store cannot take your coupons. In my coupon classes, I’ve taught more than 6,000 people to Super-Coupon, and so I’ve heard more than my share of stories of cashier confusion. One common theme has to do with interpreting the fine print on a coupon. If you pick up any manufacturer coupon, either from the newspaper or one printed from the Internet, chances are it contains the wording “Limit one coupon per purchase.” Seems innocent enough, right? But these five little words can often be the source of cashier confusion. To understand why, consider this distinction. Each item we buy is a purchase. Each group of items that we take to the checkout lane and pay for at the same time, as a group, is a transaction. So, when a coupon’s fine print states, “Limit one coupon per purchase,” what it effectively means is “Limit one coupon per item purchased.” (In fact, many coupons now contain this updated wording, which makes the meaning much clearer.) So, if a coupon is limited to “one per purchase,” it simply means we can use one coupon per item purchased. If I purchase 15 items, I can use 15 coupons — one for each item I’m buying (and I often do!) But cashier confusion frequently arises when a shopper uses several like coupons to buy several like items. For example, if I’m buying two bottles of juice and I have two $1 juice coupons, occasionally a cashier may say, “I don’t
think you can use both of these coupons, because they’re one per purchase.” The easiest response? With a smile, ask, “How many bottles am I purchasing?” If you’re purchasing two, you can use a coupon on each. If you’re purchasing three, you could use three coupons, and so on. In this case, the cashier is confusing the “per purchase” wording with the “per transaction” wording. By Jill Cataldo Coupons that state, “Limit one coupon per transaction” are typically store-issued coupons. This wording is commonly seen on coupons like “$5 off a $50 purchase” or a store’s coupon for a deeply discounted item. Stores use the “one per transaction” wording to limit your purchase in some way. In the case of coupons offering money off your purchase, the store simply doesn’t want you to use multiples of that coupon in the same transaction. Or, they may be offering you a coupon for a special loss leader, like a dozen eggs for 49 cents, but they only want to allow you to purchase one of that item per transaction. Knowing the difference between a purchase and a transaction can help you alleviate one of the most common sources of cashier confusion.

Resolve to avoid injury when exercising this year O
f the millions of New Year ’s resolutions made each year, perhaps none is more repeated than the resolution to get in better shape. Each year, millions of people resolve to shed a few extra pounds or simply get healthier, with varying degrees of success. According to certified fitness trainer Joy Sarbou-Jubert, owner of Global Fitness and Martial Art Club in Champlain, for those aiming to lose weight, cardio workouts and weight training should be done at least three times a week for an hour to an hour and a half each day. “Otherwise if you do less than that, honestly you’re not going to see anything happen,” she explained. One of the ways to ensure success is to exercise safely. Veteran athletes and seasoned professional trainers all note the importance of safety when it comes to exercise. Simply diving right into exercise can be a recipe for disaster, often leading to injury, especially for those people new to exercise or returning after a long layoff. For those who have resolved to get in better shape this season, consider the following exercise safety tips. • Don’t push it. The body responds differently to exercise as it ages, and many people who were once exercise afficionados but stopped regularly exercising could likely make the mistake that they can still exercise as hard as they did in their youth. However, pushing it after a long layoff is potentially dangerous and could result in a number of injuries. While you might one day be able to return to form, initially it’s best to take it easy. Stop exercising immediately if you begin to experience any of the following symptoms: — Dizziness — Nausea — Cold sweats — Muscle cramps — Pain or pressure in the chest (particularly left-chest or mid-chest) — Joint pain • Maintain proper breathing or cease exercising if you can’t. Whenever exercising, you should be able to walk without gasping for breath. “Your heart rate is really accelerated. You’re getting more CO 2 than oxygen,” said Sarbou-Jubert. “That exchange of air flow is not good.” If you cannot breathe properly, stop exercising immediately. Once your system has rebounded and you begin to feel better, if you’re going to return to your exercise regimen, simply tone it down, performing each exercise more slowly. • Stay hydrated. Staying hydrated throughout an exercise routine will increase flexibility and replace the water you lose by sweating. While some might feel this will counter-
act any weight loss, losing water weight is not the type of weight loss you should be aiming for. Be sure to drink lots of water before, during and after workouts. Sarbou-Jubert added those who do not like water shouldn’t look to sports drinks such as Gatorade or Powerade, as they will add to the calorie intake.

“Powerade or Gatorade is there to replace electrolytes,” she explained. “It has a lot of replacement stuff. Bu,t when you’re an average Joe in the gym, and you’re coming in and you’re doing your work out and you’re running and you’re only in here for an hour, you’re giving yourself a lot of stuff that you really don’t need.” • Remember the wisdom of mom and dad. Nearly everyone who ever went to the beach as a child recalls mom and dad advising them to stay out of the water after eating. That same advice you heard as a child is still applicable today as an adult. While it’s acceptable to go for a light walk after a small meal, avoid strenuous exercise for at least two hours
after eating a big meal. Sarbou-Jubert explained the blood will flow away from the stomach, where it is needed to process the food, and flow to whatever part of the body that is being worked out. “It actually slows, almost stops, digestion,” she said. “That food is not going to be processed. It’s just sitting there ... Now your digestive system has to wait its turn.” • Wear appropriate attire. When working out, proper attire isn’t whatever looks good on you. It’s important to purchase sneakers that support weight-bearing activities and tops that promote movement but aren’t too loose. If jogging outdoors, be sure to wear a knit cap in colder weather or a baseball cap in warmer temperatures. Both of these will help you maintain a proper body temperature and ward off harmful side effects such as cold, flu or sunburn. • Stretch, stretch, stretch. Professional athletes make their living with their bodies, and they stretch extensively before each and every game. Just because you don’t earn a ballplayer ’s paycheck doesn’t mean you can avoid stretching. Stretching helps prevent muscle pulls, strains and other injuries, so make sure an adequate stretching routine is a part of your workout. “What’s going to help to prevent injury is getting the blood to the area that’s going to be used,” Sarbou-Jubert explained. “People that are not used to working out or have never worked out, it’s especially important for them to stretch, even afterwards. Because they’re the ones that are going to end up a lot more sore than someone who’s in the gym all the time.” • Consult or hire a professional. Those who have had an extensive layoff from exercise might want to employ a personal trainer, at least until they get comfortable with a routine. In fact, many fitness clubs offer a handful of free personal training sessions to new members to ensure all members start off safe and avoid injury. Take advantage of such sessions if they’re available. If not, hire one of the club’s personal trainers, even if it’s only for a few sessions, at the onset of your routine. “For some people, personal training is good because it makes them accountable for what they’re doing,” SarbouJubert said. “Some people have to have someone else pushing them along to continue to do it. And the thing is, no program is going to work unless you’re consistent.” Overall, the most important advice Sarbou-Jubert had to give was to not be afraid to walk into a gym. “The hardest part is getting through the door,” she said. “Once you’re through the door, talk to someone, have them show you around and just do it. Because you know what? You’ve got one life and you’ve got to stay healthy.” Sarah L. Cronk contributed to this report.
The benefits of stretching to the body M
ost aerobic and strength training exercises can cause your muscles to become sore or feel tight. This is where stretching can play a powerful part to any exercise program. Stretching helps to lengthen the tight muscles and relieve some of that soreness. Stretching has many benefits, and they are not limited to athletes or fitness related activities. Stretching is something almost anyone can do and it is one of the simplest forms of exercise. According to the Mayo Clinic, the top five benefits of stretching include: • Increased flexibility and joint range of motion — Flexible muscles can improve your daily performance. Tasks such as lifting packages, bending to tie your shoes or hurrying to catch a bus become easier and less tiring. • Improved circulation — Stretching increases blood flow to your muscles. Blood flowing to your muscles brings nourishment and gets rid of waste byproducts in the muscle tissue. Improved circulation can help shorten your recovery time if you've had any muscle injuries. • Better posture — Frequent stretching can help keep your muscles from getting tight, allowing you to maintain proper posture. Good posture can minimize discomfort and keep
aches and pains at a minimum. • Stress relief — Stretching relaxes tight, tense muscles that often accompany stress. • Enhanced coordination — Maintaining the full range-ofmotion through your joints keeps you in better balance. Coordination and balance will help keep you mobile and less prone to injury from falls, especially as you get older. • Caution should be used if you have a chronic condition or an injury. Discuss with your doctor or physical therapist the best way to stretch. Check out Health Matters next week for proper stretching technique.

Where do those holiday traditions come from?
W
hen it comes to the holidays, there are many traditions we wonder how we ever started. One I often wonder about is the hanging of wreaths. It turns out this tradition is centuries old, but every holiday season it renews itself. Most wreaths are circular, and the circle has long been symbolic of the unbroken span of eternity, as well as the circular nature of life itself. Used in mid December at the time of the Winter Solstice, the circle symbolizes the certainty the endless cycle of seasons will once again bring the return of light. The ancient Romans decorated their homes with greens for the mid-winter feast of Saturnalia, while early Germanic people used wreaths of greens for their winter celebrations, sometimes combining them with candles to evoke images of light. Scandinavians had similar winter customs. As Christianity spread through the Roman Empire and across Europe, the new Christians combined wellloved older customs with Christian celebrations to form the basis of today’s holiday traditions. The act of hanging wreaths and greens was not always without controversy. In the 1500s, Protestant reformer John Calvin
condemned the frivolity that accompanied Christmas and other holiday celebrations, and his spiritual descendants, the Puritans, did the same in England and in the early colonies. But, by the late 1800s, the idea of marking the Christmas season with feasting, celebration and decoration had taken hold and the tradition of wreath hanging survived. Whatever the decorations, wreaths are the perfect symbol of the personal, spiritual, traditional, contemporary and, above all, festive spirit of the holidays. If you purchase a fresh, evergreen wreath this season, give it a shake to see if the needles fall off. A few needles are fine, but if a lot fall off the boughs are not fresh and the wreath will not last as long. Once the wreath is brought home, place the wreath away from any direct heat sources. A fresh wreath will last for a few weeks inside and a few months outside! Anne Lenox Barlow is the horticulture educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension in Clinton County.

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

You can’t eat the antlers
I
My cousin, “Lieutenant Dan,” poses with a young spike he filled the freezer with this season, lending credence to my theory that it’s not always about the rack.
was a just a young chap barely knee high to a duck when I first was extended the privilege of accompanying a deer hunt with my father and uncles. True to form, my uncle Eddie dropped a stunning 10-pointer on the second drive and we began the ritualistic trip over the river and through the woods to grandmother ’s house where we hung our deer for aging. Along the way, as I recall, we made a quick stop for some road Pepsis and a group of lookyloos wandered over to admire the slammer rack that peaked over the side of the pickup bed. “Nice deer,” one of them exclaimed, then turned and congratulated my uncle. Ed spun and without skipping a beat said, “Don’t congratulate me, congratulate the deer — he grew ‘em.” Interestingly, in this age of record-bookkeeping, antler restrictions, selective harvest and land management depicted on popular television shows, I think some have lost sight of one simple fact: deer are tasty. Our forefathers hunted not for the trophy rack or bragging rights but rather to put nutritious, high-protein food on the table. Most would roll over in their grave to see Michael Waddell let a 140 class walk by because it wasn’t a “management buck.” I have a real problem with trophy hunters — I have no qualms saying it. I find it disheartening that some place more value on the trophy than the meat. In my mind, if you aren’t in it for the latter, it gives true hunters a bad name. It also is not always what’s best for the herd
as a whole. Shooting an animal to put the antlers on the wall is no different than cutting them off in the woods and leaving the meat to rot. Aged traditions of crews butchering their own deer and dividing the meat have, in some cases, been replaced with dropping the deer at the taxidermist and piling the leather-like meat in the freezer bottom ‘til it’s gangrene. I remember a recent conversation between a longtime hunting chum and one such hunter who was boasting about letting an 8-pointer walk by because it wasn’t worthy of the wall. “Guess you didn’t need the meat,” he said. Amen to that. Don’t get me wrong — I begrudge no one a trophy set of antlers and have taken tremendous pride in dropping several sets of my own. But, that, in my mind, should be the icing on the cake, not what defines the hunt. And, no one should be apologetic for filling the freezer — as long as they do it legally and need or enjoy the meat. I was reminded of this the other day when my cousin Danny entered a small spike horn he shot this season in a “monster rack” competition at a popular local radio station. He entered it not because it had a chance of winning, but because he shot it after his young son, Hudson, spied the small buck and pointed it out to his dad. It was Hudson’s first time hunting and he is now hooked for life, my cousin said. “Besides,” Danny said, “You don’t eat the antlers ... they just help stir the stew.” Priceless.

ALTONA — Peter Hagar of Cornell Cooperative Extension will explore many ways homeowners can reduce their energy bills through no-cost and lowcost energy actions at workshop being held Wednesday, Jan. 6, from 6-8 p.m. at the Altona Town Hall, 3124 Miner Farm Road. The workshop, “Save Energy, Save Dollars,” is free and open to the public and will discuss what big energy users in the home are, different types of weatherstripping, how to use caulking, seal air leaks, which appliances are costing the most to use, and more. Low-cost and no-cost methods to reduce energy bills will be emphasized. Attendees will also learn how to get financial help to make larger energy efficiency improvements. Each participating household will take home a kit of energysaving items worth $15. Call to reserve a seat and receive an energy kit, at 561-7450 or e-mail Hagar at phh7@cornell.edu. The workshops, conducted by CCE as part of the EmPower New York Program, are a component of the HeatSmart NY initiative.
