Stiles willing to compromise By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Adirondack Park Agency Chairman Curt Stiles said this week he’s willing to consider some changes to the APA Act, including one that would doubtlessly delight many local leaders. In a commentary released Friday, Stiles wrote that moving enforcement hearings into local courts is a concept with merit. “The use of the local court system for enforcement cases is one idea which merits further discussion,” Stiles said. Local officials argue that the agency’s current role of assessing a landowner ’s compliance with APA regulations, then holding quasi-judicial hearings, determining guilt and imposing fines amounts to one board acting as judge, jury and executioner. Most violations never reach the enforcement phase, however, as landowners and agency staff are usually able to negotiate a resolution. According to the annual 2009 APA report, agency staff resolved about 550 cases, while only a handful moved into enforcement proceedings. In a recent state Supreme Court decision, Acting Justice Richard Meyer concluded that the APA Enforcement Committee and its Chairman, Commissioner Cecil Wray, had overstepped its legal bounds when it attempted to impose jurisdiction over the building rights of town of Essex farmer and former Wall Street executive Sandy Lewis. The agency is currently championing three legislative bills that would amend the APA act. Two of the bills – a community housing bill and a planning fund bill – have garnered support from local governments and officials. “As an administrative agency, the APA has an established role in the revisions and definitions of its rules and regulations,” Stiles said. A third bill meant to streamline the agency application review process has come under greater scrutiny, especially a provision that would remove the agency’s requirement for a public hearing during an application review. The three bills have gained Democratic support in the state Senate and have been sponsored by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Carl Kruger. No members of the Assembly have agreed to sponsor the legislation. Stiles said the agency remains dedicated to its core mission of preserving the beauty and environment of the Adirondacks, while also safeguarding the region’s economy and the needs of its people. “Our staff and Board remain committed to the legislative intent of the Agency’s mission and to the work that must be accomplished for the future of the Park economy and environment,” Stiles said. “Together we share in an important responsibility to the people of the Adirondack Park’s communities, seasonal residents, visitors and environment, as well as to the legacy of what the Adirondack Park will be now and in the future.”

HOMETOWN HERO Vermontville’s Demong leads U.S. to Olympic firsts By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WHISTLER, British Columbia — Bill Demong has put Vermontville, N.Y., on the map at an international level. With his victory in the individual large hill cross country event Feb. 25, Demong became the first American to claim Olympic gold in Nordic Combined, a sport that combines ski jumping with cross-country skiing. “It definitely has not sunk in,” said Demong the day after the event, “but every hour or so, I get two seconds of a glimpse at that reality and it gives me chills.” After his performance in the jumping portion landed him in sixth place, Demong sailed through the 10 km ski course with a total time of 25 minutes, 32.9 seconds; four seconds ahead of fellow American Johnny Spillane, who took silver. Though it was the first Olympic gold for the United States in Nordic Combined, Demong was hardly a longshot to win the event. Just last year, Demong won gold in large hill at the FIS World Championships, capping off a season where he finished third in the World Cup standings. “Bill has worked very hard for many years, said Ted Blazer, President and CEO of New York State’s Olympic Regional Development Authority. “His impressive performances at
Vermontville native Bill Demong, seen here taking gold in the Nordic Combined large hill event at the 2009 FIS World Championships in Liberec, Czech Republic, inspired the nation last week with his gold medal performance at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada. Demong’s gold was the first ever won by a U.S. Athlete in Nordic Combined and helped earn him the nod as the flag bearer for the games’ closing ceremony. Photo courtesy of NYSEF

DEC reschedules public hearings By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com
The St. Regis Mountain Fire Tower is one of two Adirondack fire towers that would be slated for demolition if Unit Management Plan amendments proposed by NYSDEC are approved.

RAY BROOK — Public hearings that will deal with the future of two historic fire towers have been rescheduled. The state Department of Environmental Conservation has set new dates for public meetings dealing with proposed changes to Unit Management Plans for the St. Regis Canoe Area and the Jay Mountain Wilderness and Hurricane Mountain Primitive area. Both meetings, originally scheduled for Feb. 25, had been cancelled due to poor weather. Among the changes proposed is the removal of fire towers atop Hurricane Mountain and St. Regis Mountain, both of which are listed on the State and National Historic Registers. DEC officials claim the towers are in violation of the respective land classification they fall within because they are man-made structures. Also, stairs to the towers have been removed, making them inaccessible to the public. However, many groups are intent on keeping the towers, namely private organizations that have been working for their preservation as historic landmark. The public meeting dealing with the St. Regis Canoe Area UMP will now be held Wednesday, March 10, 6:30 p.m. in the Freer Science Building Auditorium at Paul Smith’s College. The meeting regarding the Jay Mountain Wilderness and Hurricane Mountain Primitive Area will now be held Thursday, March 11, 6:30 p.m. in the Keene Central School auditorium in Keene Valley. A presentation on Adirondack Park Fire Tower Study will be made at both meetings, followed by a presentation on the draft UMPs or draft amendment. Afterward, public comments will be taken. Comments for the draft UMPs or the draft amendment will be taken at either meeting. For more information about the proposed amendments, contact 897-1291.

DEC warns of avalanche danger ALBANY — The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation are warning Adirondack back country visitors to be aware of the danger of avalanches. Recent snowstorms have brought a significant amount of new snow to the Adirondack Park. The new snow resting on top of previous accumulations create conditions conducive to avalanches, particularly on steep, open slopes. Back country users should take necessary precautions. Two skiers triggered an avalanche on Wright Peak Feb. 26. Neither of the skiers was injured, but the incident underscores the risk of current conditions. The threat of avalanche typically increases during and immediately after major snowfalls, as well as during thaws. But avalanches can occur in any situation where snow, slope and weather conditions combine to create the proper conditions. DEC reminds back country users to take the following precautions when traveling in avalanche-prone terrain: • Know avalanche rescue techniques. • Practice safe-route finding. • Carry safety equipment (transceiver, probe, shovel). • Never travel alone. • Know the terrain, weather and snow conditions. • Let someone know where you are going. DEC provides information on avalanche danger and safety precautions on its web site at www.dec.ny.gov. Also, a brochure titled "Avalanche Preparedness in the Adirondacks" is available through the website or by contacting the DEC Region 5 office at 897-1200.

Committee explores future uses for Camp Gabriels, VIC By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com GABRIELS — Officials from the town of Brighton have created a Citizens’ Committee to address concerns over last year ’s closure of Camp Gabriels and this year ’s proposed closure of the Paul Smith’s Visitors Interpretive Center. According to a release issued Feb. 17, the Brighton Town Board has appointed an advisory committee to explore – “possible opportunities for the future beneficial use of both facilities.” Council members appointed Susan Mayer to head the newly-created
Town Redevelopment Citizens’ Committee. She says the two closures have generated much concern for Brighton residents. “We could spend a lot of time complaining, but instead we are going to put all of our energy into finding new uses for Gabriels and the VIC that will benefit Brighton and the region at large,” Mayer said. Mayer is a retired and is a long-time Rainbow Lake resident. She previously served as director of corporate communications for the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation and spent 13 years as an executive for private industry. The committee’s aim is to
establish practical solutions for future use of both the VIC and Camp Gabriels. “We can take a pro-active approach to exploring ideas for redevelopment that will ensure this area is a good place to live and work, and to develop ideas for capitalizing on the town’s recreational and environmental assets,” Mayer said. Earlier this year, Governor David Paterson’s proposed 2010-2011 Executive Budget called for the closures of the Paul Smiths and Newcomb VICs, which had been run by the Adirondack Park Agency. APA officials admitted the centers didn’t fit in with the agency’s core mission.
Following the release of Paterson’s budget plan, officials and stakeholders gathered at Paul Smith’s College to discuss future options for the VIC. The college owns the land and has said it cannot afford to run the facility as is. The public is welcome to submit suggestions and ideas to Committee Chair Susan Mayer by emailing suemayer4@aol.com.

Education leaders criticize proposed state budget By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com ALBANY — Not only has Gov. David Paterson proposed substantial cuts to public schools, but he has promoted deep financial cuts to the State University system — $90 million worth. In response, SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher said recently that Paterson’s reductions carry major economic ramifications. “People will see a change in quality,” she said. “And we can’t afford that academically — To say these cuts don’t have a profound impact would be wrong.” Phillip Smith, president of United University Professions, testified before a joint legislative committee, stating that the SUNY system is already being forced to turn away thousands of qualified students. Smith said Paterson’s cuts would eliminate about a quarter of SUNY’s total operating budget. “Funding for SUNY, if this is allowed to go forward, would be 80 million dollars less than it was in 1990,” he said. “And yet we have 40,000 more students in our institution.” Paterson has acknowledged the cuts are deep – but he’s also reiterated that he will not budge. The Governor has repeatedly stated that if legislators refuse to make the tough decisions, he’ll do it for them. But Smith said the SUNY system is taking a disproportionate hit. According to his math, Paterson’s proposed cuts slash about $500 million from SUNY operations over the next two years. “This would be a 25 percent cut to the budgets of all agencies combined,” Smith said. “It just begs the question: why is public higher education being targeted in this manner?”
Carol Brown, president of North Country Community College said that Paterson’s budget, if passed, would have a dramatic effect on the region. She said she was more optimistic than Smith, however. because of several other proposals being discussed by the state legislature. Paterson has proposed to allow each individual SUNY school to set its own tuition and he also wants to let institutions enter into more public-private endeavors. Brown says that will also prompt colleges to become more fiscally creative. “With the proposed prison closures and the recent shuttering of Pfizer, allowing an institution like North Country to work closely with private industry is going to be important, moving forward,” she said. But Smith said allowing SUNY to set tuition on a schoolby-school basis isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. He thinks it will force low-income students away from their schools of choice. “The feedback that I got was that there wasn’t a lot of support for the Governor ’s plan,” Smith said. “I think that there’s going to be some difficulty in getting this through. And for SUNY’s sake, I hope that’s the case.” Assemblywoman Janet Duprey agreed that reaction to Paterson’s SUNY tuition proposal has been mixed, but she thinks if the legislation is detailed correctly, it could work. “Many of the administrators are enthused about it,” she said. “There are some courses that are more expensive to operate and they could flex what they do and how many courses are offered and be able to increase their revenue accordingly so that those who are taking the less expensive courses are paying less.” Duprey acknowledged the concern that Paterson’s proposal will shut out some students from some schools; but she said nothing is set in stone yet. “We have to start thinking outside of the box,” Duprey said. “I think this is going to be a good discussion — If it hurts out colleges, we don’t want to do it; but funding is being cut so we’re all being forced to look at alternative ways to fund what we do.” Duprey will sit down with educators and lawmakers next week to discuss the details of Paterson’s cuts and the initiatives he’s offered to offset them.

multiple Olympics and World Championships are now punctuated with this medal.” Demong, 29, was born and raised in the greater Saranac Lake area and attended Saranac Lake Central School before transitioning to National Sports Academy in Lake Placid. He spent many years participating in local New York Ski Education Foundation programs with the likes of Olympic Biathlon athletes Tim Burke and Lowell Bailey. He will no doubt receive a triumphant welcome when he returns to his hometown. “What Billy did last night was short of remarkable,” said Town of Franklin Supervisor Arthur P. Willman Jr. Feb. 26. “His performance during these Games, along with his teammates, can only be described as inspirational.” “I can think of no other person more deserving than Billy,” Willman added. “Speaking for everyone in Vermontville, we are all proud and we all feel somehow connected to his accomplishments.” In addition to gold, Demong anchored a silver medal-winning performance by U.S. Nordic Combined in the 4-by-5 km team relay Feb. 23. The foursome included Demong, Brett Camerota, Todd Lodwick, and Spillane, who added another silver medal in the normal hill cross country event Feb. 14, the first ever by an American in Nordic Combined. Demong’s accomplishments exemplified a banner year for the United States, which set a record for most medals ever won by a single country at any Winter Olympics with 37. Thus, it was only natural that he be chosen to bear his country’s flag at the closing ceremony Feb. 28 in Vancouver. “Being chosen as flag bearer is a phenomenal honor,” Demong said. “It could have been any one of my teammates, and it is meaningful that our peers are taking notice of what we've achieved.”

Cowboy hats and kill-joys
I
f there’s one thing that stood out to me about the 2010 Saranac Lake Winter Carnival, it was the sheer number of cowboy hats that crawled out of local basements, attics, and closets and perched themselves on local heads. Indeed, I saw so many cowboy hats – from tasteful 10-gallon models to tawdry sequin-studded numbers – that I found myself wondering if I’d accidentally stumbled into a town populated entirely by creative Dick Cheney By Dan Leonidas impersonators. I hadn’t, of course (and thank heavens for that, because nothing ruins Winter Carnival faster than a blast of birdshot to the face); I’d merely stumbled into a town in the throes of what we in the fever business call “Western fever.” Most Saranac Lakers would agree that this “Western fever,” a result of the Carnival’s “Adirondack Cowboy” theme, created a fun sense of unity. By donning their cowboy hats, chaps, and spurs, Carnival-goers got to feel like they had at least one thing in common with all the neighbors they spend the rest of the year arguing with about the cultural and economic value of Wal-Mart and which local politicians have secret socialist agendas. Nonetheless, I bet a lot of those same Saranac Lakers – despite their talk of “community togetherness” – would label anyone refusing to dress up like Wyatt Earp or Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen as a curmudgeonly kill-joy. Indeed, those same Saranac Lakers would probably run anyone who failed to conform to the “Adirondack Cowboy” theme out of town like a common outlaw. And I should know, because I was one of those curmudgeonly kill-joys/common outlaws who got run out of town. I’m kidding, of course. I didn’t get run out of town like a common outlaw. I didn’t even get labeled a curmudgeonly kill-joy (at least not in so many words). I did, however, refuse to dress up like a cowboy, and thus spent the second weekend of Carnival in a state of high paranoia, certain that my fellow revelers not only disapproved of me, but were discussing their disapproval of me at great length behind my back. What, then, was I thinking? Why did I refuse to dress up like a cowboy when I knew refusing to dress up like a cowboy would make me feel even more self-conscious than a cowboy dressed up like a pirate at a ninja convention? I’ll tell you why: I have principles – and, by God, I stick to my principles, regardless of the crushing psychological damage it does me. That’s right: my refusal to dress like a cowboy this year had nothing to do with any overblown opposition to the way themed events demand conformity – in truth, I love conformity – and everything to do with my deep-seated distaste for the Wild West. I believe my aversion to all things cowboy stretches back to the terrifying line-dancing epidemic that swept the nation in the early-to-mid 90s, leaving billions of ruined lives in its wake. Whenever I try to reflect on that period of my childhood, all I can remember is row upon row of identical zombies sporting bolo ties, flannel shirts, and cowboy hats, marching in lockstep around the sawdust floor of a smoky, foul-smelling honky-tonk to the commands of that mulleted, achy-breaky moron Billy Ray Cyrus. I can’t even watch “Back to the Future Part III” without suffering debilitating flashbacks, so you might imagine that I felt darnnear petrified surrounded by hundreds of “Adirondack Cowboys” during Carnival – but you’d be wrong. Sure, I contended with a touch of healthy paranoia, but when it comes to Winter Carnival, it takes a lot more than legions of cowboy-hat-wearing automatons to kill my joy.

Adolescence a fairly new concept T
he concept of adolescence did not exist before 1900. The transition to adulthood was generally marked by the onset of puberty. A variety of ceremonies have been used to announce that transition. The Bar or Bat Mitzvah, the Catholic Confirmation and many other ceremonies indicated that the child was now an adult. In the pre-1900 world, you were either a child or an adult. At the age of 13, Ben Franklin finished his schooling and was apprenticed as a printer and immediately became a self supporting adult. John Quincy Adams attended Leiden University in Holland at the age of 13 and by the time he was 14 he was in the employ of the American Ambassador to Russia where he served as an interpreter and secretary. At the age of 16, Adams was the secretary to the American delegation that negotiated the peace with England at the Revolutionary War ’s end. At 12, Daniel Boone got his first rifle and by the time he was 15 he embarked on a yearlong exploration of the American Wilderness. These men, what we know as adolescents, performed as adults and demonstrated competency and admirable leadership. The terrible exploitation of children in factories was a widespread practice that thankfully ended with the advent of adolescence. The concept of adolescence seems to have expanded during my lifetime. Some are still dependent on their parents into their late twenties. Growing up, it was a common
sight to see kids as young 8 or 9 driving tractors and working on area farms. Others worked in logging operations or in their parent’s business. I suspect that those hard working kids had a leg up on everyone else. They learned how to work hard, a valued skill across a lifetime. They used to mow grass, now; even those jobs are performed by adults. Many farms have By Scot Hurlburt vanished. A fearful liability compels many others not to hire adolescents for fear of a lawsuit. Today, a 15 year old that sets out for a yearlong exploration, as Daniel Boone did, could end up in trouble. Adolescence has taken some heavy hits in popular culture. Many describe it as period that is fraught with difficulty and is a problematic journey that everyone must suffer through. If we offered youth an opportunity to transition to adulthood sooner, the adolescent journey might look very different. Remember, all kids count.

Keeping vigilant of the late blight epidemic
I
f you gardened last year, you know we had a devastating late blight outbreak. I don’t know of anyone who had tomatoes make it through the entire growing sea-
son. Luckily, the strain of late blight we had in 2009 needs living tissue to overwinter. It will not be in your seeds or in your soil. The only way late blight can and may have overwintered in our area is on potatoes, since the tuber is still living plant material. There are some steps we can take to help reduce the risk of another late blight epidemic. Let’s start with tomatoes. Try to select disease-resistant varieties for at least some of your crop. “Mountain Magic,” “Plum Regal,” and “Legend” are three varieties with resistance or tolerance to late blight. Because they are new to the market and of last year ’s epidemic, it is impossible to find seed for these resistant varieties. Growing your own transplants or purchasing from a reputable grower will ensure a healthy start to the season. Inspect all transplants you buy for cankers or leaf blight before planting. If the plant does not look healthy, don’t buy it. As for potatoes, do not save tubers as seed to be planted next spring. Purchase certified disease-free potato seed from a reputable source, and ask your supplier if the field was inspected for late blight. In the spring (April – June), inspect last year ’s potato plot and any compost or cull piles for volunteer potato plants that might come up. If you find potato
plants, pull them out and put them in the trash or destroy them. If tubers were infected and survive, then the late blight could grow upward from the tuber, infecting the stem and producing spores when weather conditions are favorable. These spores could then create another epidemic. For both crops, provide good soil fertility, water drainage, air circulation, and use cultural practices to provide what the crop needs for healthy growth. And finally, during the growing season, pay attention to weather conditions and pest alerts to learn about whether late blight has been observed in New York, and what actions you need to take to protect your crop.

Couponers share wealth with local pantries
I
received an e-mail from a reader with a great idea about how to share couponing expertise for the good of our communities: “I enjoy reading your articles in my paper every week. I would love to [read] an article encouraging people to use these ideas to shop for local food banks! If someone doesn’t need more cereal to stockpile or doesn’t use a particular brand of something, encourage them to use the coupons to make deals and then donate those products to the food bank.” I agree one hundred percent! I am a big believer in supporting our food pantries and food banks, especially in the current economy. It’s rare that a week or two goes by without me visiting and bringing bags of groceries to our local food pantry. I’m not trying to pat myself on the back, but as the reader notes above, the reality is that once we start coupon shopping and improving our Super-Couponing skills, we do reach a point where we may acquire more supplies than we need to support a single household. I have held off discussing the many ways our local food banks and pantries can benefit from Super-Couponing until now, and I shouldn’t have waited so long. I am quite aware of how many people truly are hurting right now and having difficulty putting food on their tables. For some, the prospect of having not just enough but actually a surplus of food might be hard to imagine. Yet, when you become a proficient coupon user, matching your coupons to your stores’ lowestpriced sales, you indeed may find you reach a point where you’re able to pick up even more things very inexpensively and pass them along to others in need. Many of my Super-Couponers have written to share their stories of “scoring” food for their local food pantries. One reader wrote to tell me of a $1 yogurt sale at her store ... and right in the coupon dispenser in front of the yogurt were $1 coupons for the same yogurt! She bought what she needed for her family, and then went on to buy more for her local food pantry, too ... and none of it cost a thing! Another reader told of a juice sale in which the bottles of juice were $2.29 and each bottle had $2 peel-off coupons attached to the labels. He stocked up and picked some up for his local food bank, too. I’ve had some memorable runs for my local pantry. Recently, a name-brand manufacturer of bratwurst offered a printable coupon on its Web site for $5 off the purchase of
three packages. It was an unlimited printable — rare, but not unheard of. (I always hit the back button in my Web browser to try to print coupons until I receive the message that the print limit has been reached, because some coupons do have higher print limits and, occasionally you may run across an unlimited printable.) This was a very valuable coupon, since one of my area By Jill Cataldo stores was also having a sale on the same brand of bratwurst: three packages for $5. With a coupon for $5 off the purchase of three, all of the packages were free! And with an unlimited printable, I could print as many as I’d use. Early in the week, I bought as many packages as our family would use before the expiration date. On the last day of the sale, I printed 15 more of those coupons and purchased 45 more packages of bratwurst! (Note that I never clean out a store of a product — the store had a huge supply on hand for this sale.) Then, I took all those brats to our food pantry. The volunteers and I giggled as we stuffed packages of brats into every available inch of their refrigerator. A week later, I returned to the pantry to drop off some other items, and I peeked in their fridge to see how many brats were inside. Not a single package of brats was left. That’s when I realized just how many people are utilizing our local food pantry every day. It’s a similar story at food banks all over the country. If you’ve reached the point in your couponing journey where you’re able to feed your household for less and pass along surplus items to your local food banks, I guarantee you’ll find it incredibly rewarding to do so.

Kids spend more time in a virtual, instead of a natural world
A
lthough I passed the half-century mark a few years back, I still believe I was a kid during the modern era. Sure, I remember dialing only four numbers to call a friend, but the fact that I actually ‘dialed’ a phone, rather than pushed buttons, is likely a better indication of my current technological prowess. I guess what really dates me is that I watched the original moonwalk, 25 years before Michael Jackson performed it. I remember returning home after school in hopes of watching Gunsmoke or Superman on one of the only two television channels that had reception. My mother would have none of it and regularly booted us out of the house, “Be sure to be home by dark,” she would add before shuffling us along, “And have fun!” Out the door we’d go and head down the street to find something to do. Occasionally, we actually indulged in constructive recreation such as fishing, hiking, biking or BB gun wars. Depending upon the season, there were always a few ‘not so constructive’ options such as tossing apples, pumpkins or snowballs off the town hill. Sure, we knew right from wrong, but the risks of getting caught simply added to the excitement. Besides, in a small town, we recognized the locals and avoided pegging snowballs at a neighbor ’s car, but Lord help the poor trucker, who happened to be traveling along Route 9 in the early evening. In a single pass, his rig would appear as if he had plowed through the community’s gardens, which we had usually
plundered for ammunition. Good or bad, such experiences defined my generation. For the most part, we did it all outdoors, in all seasons and in all types of weather. Our small acts of rural terrorism occasionally included a late night dip in a neighbor ’s swimming pool, which rarely caused any permanent damage. It was good, clean fun and it was always accomplished outdoors with little adult supervision. We shot bb guns, rode mini-bikes and actually stayed out after dark (without the protection of a cell phone) and lived to tell about it. Today’s kids are growing up in a far different world than I grew up in so many years ago. As can be expected, they are technically literate, since technology has always been a major focus of their lives. They're multi-taskers and are proficient at juggling sports, school and the constant communication demands of social interests. They use the Internet for entertainment via online videos, online games and virtual worlds or to download music and use social networking sites. Cell phones have made their communications immediate,
Adults that take the time to introduce their children to the ways of the woods and waters will be assured a willing companion for future adventures.

SATURDAY March 6, 2010 whether texting messages to friends or visiting a website, it is accomplished instantly in the palm of the hand. Despite the convenience of such modern amenities, today’s kids have less freedom, due primarily to several generations of parents that had too much. They also have a huge, daily load of schoolwork and are under constant pressure to fulfill expectations to possess either a perfect resume by age 18, or have the SAT scores necessary to be accepted by a college that guarantees their success. It was much easier being a kid in the day of Leave it to Beaver and Andy of Mayberry. With so many responsibilities, it’s a wonder that today’s kids have any time to play, yet the most disturbing news is that their play is far different than anything we could have possibly imagined. “This is a stunner,” explained Donald F. Roberts, a Stanford communications professor and an author of a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, “In the second report, I remember writing a paragraph saying we’ve hit a ceiling on media use, since there just aren’t enough hours in the day to increase the time children spend on media. But now it’s up an hour.” Even while conducting the survey of more than 2,000 students in grades 3 to 12 from October 2008 to May 2009, media use was changing. “One of the hot topics today is Twitter, but when we first went into the field and began interviewing, Twitter didn’t exist,” a researcher explained. According to the study, the average American youngster now spends practically every waking minute, except for time in school, using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device. Those ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day with such devices, compared with less than six and a half hours five years ago, when the study was last conducted. And that does not include the hour and a half that is spent texting, or the half-hour they talk on their cell phones. And since most are youngsters are multitasking and surfing the Internet while listening to music or texting while online, they manage to pack nearly 11 hours of combined media content into that seven and a half hours. The study’s findings shocked its authors, who had concluded in 2005 that use could not possibly grow further. It also confirmed the fears of many parents whose children are constantly tethered to these media devices. It found, moreover, that heavy media use is associated with several negatives, including behavior problems and lower grades. The recent study revealed that media consumption has grown far more in the last five years than it did from 1999 to 2004. The increase is believed to be due to sophisticated mobile ‘smart phone’ technology and portable, electronic devices such as iPods and video downloads which allow teens to access media in their pocket or beds. Youths now report spending more time listening to or watching media on their cell phones, or playing games, than talking on them. In less than a decade, cell phones have morphed from a communications tool to an entertainment device. Additionally, electronics are available to the kids 24/7, as one child explained, “At night, I can text or watch something on You Tube until I fall asleep. It lets me talk on the phone and watch a video at the same time, or listen to music while I send text messages. I also use it as an alarm clock since it has a really annoying, ring tone!” Growing up, we never thought our parents knew as much as they thought they did about what we were doing, but now technology has created a world where our own children are even further removed from parental oversight. They are virtually going to places we had never considered. As a result, it is imperative that parents provide today’s children with a grounded experience, on hard ground. It’s also much easier, and more fun, to wake up on the hard ground at a young age. Most of us didn’t simply wake up one day and decide that we were going to be outdoor enthusiasts. Something or someone typically provokes the decision and it usually began in childhood, which is the best time to expose people to outdoor fun. For the majority of outdoor travelers that I know, the process usually started as a kid while canoeing with a Boy or Girl Scout troop, attending Summer Camp, skiing with a family friend or learning how to hunt or fish from a favorite uncle. During the summer, camping trip provided opportunities to hike, explore and see wild animals and pick up insects with our hands. If our initial experience in the outdoors was pleasant and exciting, it eventually grew to become a regular habit as an adult. There has never been such a vital time to share our knowledge and skills. If the outdoor legacy is to live on, it is the responsibility of previous generations to insure the current generation has an opportunity to have their feet in a stream, a rod in their hands or their butt in a canoe. Together, we must make the forests and streams much more entertaining than virtual reality.
