SARANAC LAKE — Reconstruction of the sidewalks in downtown Saranac Lake continued this past week. Fuller Excavating was awarded the contract to replace the sidewalk on the west side of Main Street and on Broadway Hill. This is part of the $1 million Village of Saranac Lake Sidewalk Replacement Project. Phase 1 of the project — replacement of sidewalk on Broadway between Main Street and Woodruff Street — was expected to be complete
by Memorial Day weekend. The village Department of Public Works (DPW) completed demolition and removal of sidewalk in two days, and construction began Monday, May 14. Sidewalks remained open on Broadway, but pedestrians are urged to use caution in the area. Construction on all sidewalks will take place between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. during the week. In the meantime, work on the west side of Main Street began May 14 with demolition of the sidewalk and curbs at the alley between the Town Hall and Rice Furniture
and proceeding north along Main Street. DPW employees are also installing drainage, removing two old cobra-style street lights, and installing one new antique style street light. Fuller Excavating expects to begin installing curb on May 24 and complete the project by June 15. Village officials say access to building and business entrances will be maintained at all times, except for limited interruptions when concrete is poured and finished. During construction, sidewalks will remain open as much as possible; however parking spaces on the west

side of Main Street will be closed. At times, traffic on Main Street will be reduced to one lane. The cost for the sidewalk project along the west side of Main Street is $66,565.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The next chapter in the Horace Nye Nursing Home saga may start to be written next week. It may also be the closing chapter in the eyes of Essex County. North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi, who chairs the Horace Nye Nursing Home Task Force Committee, has called for the body to meet on Tuesday, May 29, following the monthly Ways and Means Committee meeting, which was pushed back from its usual last Monday of the month date due to Memorial Day. Politi said that the HNNH subcommittee, which was tasked with visiting the Elizabethtown facility as well as facilities run by the three bidders on the site, will de-

Sheriff, supers talk economics of county jail By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com
Salle Duso and her niece, Breanna, have been growing their hair out for the last two years to donate through the Locks of Love program to help sick children.
ELIZABETHTOWN — The quest for more answers on staffing and overtime at the Essex County Jail led to supervisors agreeing to tour the facility. The tour of the jail was requested by Board Chairman Randy Douglas of Jay along with Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell after discussion on staffing and overtime. “I think that it is time that we take a group of supervisors up to the facility and you walk us through and show it to us,” Douglas said. “You have put a lot of effort into this to try and cut the costs of overtime. I think that you are doing everything that you possibly can.” During the May 14 Public
Safety Committee meeting, Sheriff Richard Cutting said that it costs roughly $7.92 to house one inmate per day. “Each inmate averages out to cost me that per day,” Cutting said. “It costs Essex County about $110,000 to board these inmates to feed, clothe and care.” Some supervisors were quick to point out that the statistic did not take into account other factors. “That number does not include the cost on maintaining the facility, the bond and the costs with the building,” North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said. “That number does not include staffing, either,” Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava added. “I don't want people to think that it costs us $110,00 and we made $1.3 million, so
we are in the black,” Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said. “The money goes to pay for the upkeep and the mortgage on the building and if this money was not there, then it would all be on the taxpayers backs.” “I did not put that in because they have to be there anyways,” Cutting said. “The place has to be staffed. This number is the additional cost that it takes to bring in boarders.” When it came to jail revenues, Cutting said the county was starting to house inmates from Jefferson County again. They had previously entered into a deal with the new Albany County Jail, but wanted to bring some inmates to Essex County during the summer months.

The sheriff added that the decision was made in part by weather and in part by the service the jail provides. “We treat inmates like our own from wherever they are,” Cutting said. “Other places are a little picky. A lot of places look at how each facility treats the inmates. Jefferson County has told us that they will take all of them to Albany County in the winter because the roads are better, but they are sending some back here now.” Cutting said the issue of staffing and overtime was not going to go away, especially in the coming months. “This next year is going to be a bad time for overtime because I have a number of pregnancies where officers will be applying for a medical leave and I am going to have to fill in for those,” he said.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The pillars on the front of the Old Courthouse need to be repaired. Essex County Department of Public Works Superintendent Anthony LaVigne told members of the DPW Committee May 21 that the four pillars were in desperate need of work after two separate inspectors deemed them lacking. “The ones that are in jeopardy have rotted through,” LaVigne said. “They have a timber post in the center. It is all wood. They are untreated posts that are there right now.” LaVigne added, however, that he would still be in favor of wooden pillars, but using treated lumber. “We have not done the design yet, but I think that we would use a treated post and put some vents in it,” he said. LaVigne said that the county should make sure that it goes through the proper reviews for the project since the Old Courthouse was nominated for being placed on the National Register of Historic Places. “We have to go to a SHIPPO review because they are

LaVigne asked for, and received, a resolution authorizing the use of contingency funds to pay for the project. “I don't know where else we would get it and I would find it appropriate to take it out of contingency,” County Manager Daniel Palmer said. “We have a major safety issue here and we do not want to have something happen where they fall and someone gets hurt,” Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell said.

We want to do this more as a restoration project then a replacement project.” LaVigne said that the estimated cost for the project was, $47,347, which includes engineering and shoring up the roof while the work is being done. “Half the cost will be to shore up the roof while the pillars are being repaired or reconstructed,” he said.

I cannot answer any questions that I do not get. It's not just to be at 100 percent, is about being equitable. Equal value homes need to be treated fairly. Equity is much more important.” North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said it was not a matter of policy, but a lack of trust in the state for doing their part of the bargain. “ We a l l w a n t t o c o o p e r a t e w i t h you, yet it is very difficult for anyone in this body to want to cooperate with the state because you cannot trust what the state is saying,” Politi said. “If you could guarantee me that we are going to get paid, great. I have a lot of agreements with the state of New York that say we are going to get paid and we are not getting paid for any of them.” Politi also questioned the numbers that were used to determine proper assessments by the state based on the date of the data. “You want to up the property in North Elba by 4 percent and I have to laugh,” he said. “The data that you are using is four or five years old and it makes you out of touch.”

ELIZABETHTOWN — Assessments were not just a hot topic at the many town Grievance Days this week. T h e y w e re a l s o a d e b a t e d t o p i c during the May 21 Finance Committee meeting of the Essex County B o a rd o f S u p e r v i s o r s , w h e re J o h n Stack from the New York State Office of Real Property Tax Services talked about changes to the way in which assessments would be done throughout the state. Stack talked about the memorandum of understanding that the state is seeking for the new assessment process, which is set to start in some towns for the 2013 rolls. However, several supervisors said they were not pleased with the MOU, including Chairman Randy Douglas of Jay. “Our real property office does not feel comfortable with us signing the MOU,” Douglas said. “Our assessors a re w o r r i e d , o u r t o w n b o a rd s a re worried, and our real property office is worried.

Memorial Day about sacrifice
W
hen members of the North River Volunteer Fire Company were cutting firewood May 5 for fellow firefighter Matthew Allen, who is currently serving in the Army National Guard in Afghanistan, his wife Julie spoke of the sacrifices Americans make during times of war. And she was thankful for the help. “To me it just proves that people here realize that there is a sacrifice always by everybody, the family, the men that are there, the communities that suffer because they are gone,” she said. “But the whole reason they are there is so people can be happy here at home.” Several miles to the south, in the hamlet of North Creek, Edward Austin Jr. (1811-1883) and his wife, Minerva Rollin Austin (1811-1908), saw five of their 11 sons leave home to fight for the Union during the Civil War. There was service and sacrifice in their household, as four of the Austin brothers died during the conflict. It was 150 years ago when the family learned of the death of their first son’s death. Over the next two years, three more would die serving their country. •Pvt. Rollin Austin, 19, died April 10, 1862 in Washington, D.C. He was in Company E of the 22nd New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. •Pvt. Shelden Austin, 23, died June 23, 1862 at the White House Hospital, Virginia. He was in Company A of the 93rd New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. •Pvt. David Austin, 22, died Sept. 25, 1863 at the Hampton Hospital, Virginia. He was in Company D of the 118th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. •Pvt. Charles Austin, 18, died April 5, 1864 at Pingo Landing, North Carolina. He was in Company B of the 96th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. The surviving brother in the Army, George Washington Austin, joined Company B of the 148th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. An American flag with a Civil War marker is placed in the ground next to the brothers’ headstone at the family plot in North Creek’s Union Cemetery. You have to look at all four sides of the stone. The names of David and Charles share one side of the stone; the names of Rollin and Shelden share another side; and the
name of brother Emerson Austin (18551881) marks the front of the stone. It is not clear which of the four brothers who died in the Civil War are buried in North Creek. Miniature stones with the initials “S.W.A.” and “R.F.A.” are located between the stones of other family members, including the parents. In any case, they are memorialized, and their stone is decorated with an American flag. When researching local history for the Civil War ’s 150th anniversary, author Glenn Pearsall tracked 175 men buried in the town of Johnsburg who served during the Civil War. He found that 125 were town residents when they left to fight. “Think of what it would be like today if 125 men from town marched off to war,” Pearsall said in his “Johnsburg Goes to War” lecture in 2011. Of those 125 men, 37 were married. “This means, in addition to mothers, fathers and brothers and sisters, they also left behind wives and children,” Pearsall said. “And in rural farm country like Johnsburg was at that time, who was going to do the hard chores on the farms? The spring planting? Maintaining and fixing the heavy equipment? Doing the hard work of haying the fields and tending to the livestock all winter?” Pearsall’s research shows that 45 of the 175 Civil War veterans in Johnsburg that he studied died in battle or by disease. Another 27 were discharged for disability due to battle wounds or disease, and 11 were disabled with a lost arm, an amputated leg, or for becoming chronically ill or mentally unstable. Several died at home within a few years after the war, succumbing to those injuries. As we take a day off for Memorial Day, we ask citizens to remember all the veterans who served and sacrificed for their families and their country. And to think of those who continue to serve in the military overseas so we can enjoy our freedom.

Program a success To the Valley News: We had a successful Arrive Alive Week at the Lake Placid Middle/High School. This week is in support of the Global Youth Traffic Safety Month. The goal is to raise awareness about the tragic death of teens and empower youth to participate in activities to promote traffic safety. With the support of Essex County STOP DWI we were able to provide 100 T-shirts to students participating this week. We appreciated the Lake Placid Police Department and their assigning Patrolman Jim Staats to engage with youth during their high school physical education classes and to Troop B for loaning us Fatal Vision Goggles. New this year students learned about Sleep Needs, Distracted Driving and Aggressive Driving with materials provided by The National Road Safety Foundation. Parents: Many of your children had the opportunity to participate in the “Contract for Life” which asks students to accept responsibility for their actions in vehicles and has a place for a parent signature. We hope that this allowed you to have a meaningful discussion about safety with your child. The generous support of our community allowed our Juniors and Seniors to have an alcohol free After the Prom Party. Our Sponsors include: Adirondack Awards, Inc., AdWorkshop, Barbara S.

GUESTVIEWPOINT On human enfirons
W
hen our fore-people came to the continent of America many years ago, they saw mile after mile of beautiful environs with an abundance of wildlife. As the small settlements grew, many areas became large corporateowned stretches of farmland (monocultures). Some small businesses became large industrial complexes. As artificial cover appeared (pavement, concrete, etc.), the wildlife disappeared. The land, the air and the water became polluted. Therefore, it is upon this statement that I drew my scientific conclusions based on my research and on site observation since 1975. My entire study from the very beginning is a result of the death of my mother due to cancer on Mother ’s Day in May 1975. The physics of flowing water is synonymous with the physics of flowing air. The proof holds true with the physics of salutation and the physics of ripple formation in response to wind and water current action upon the earth. Therefore, we can conclude that point-source and nonpointsource pollution is evident with air and water when I speak of them as transport mechanisms. I categorize the contamination of the biosphere (all living beings) into three parts: the origin of pollution, the transport of pollution, and the deposition of pollution (all in the form of free floating/suspended dry or wet particulates or precipitates). Following the stage of Primary Differentiation approximately 100 or 150 million years ago, when Pangea (one continent) was no longer as a result of outgassing from the earth’s interior and seafloor spreading, the earth at the end of this process became one quarter land surface and three quarters water. Of the one quarter land surface, we have developed onethird of that via cutting away natural cover. As we continue into the future with the further development of land, there is something I would like to point out in regard to our sustenance in unity with the biosphere in the stressed state. We are losing life in the oceans at an alarming rate via toxic dumping and runoff from the developed land. Years ago, I began seeing changes in forest and lake biosystems, especially with emergent plant communities in Eutrophic lakes. I saw unusual changes in bud de-
velopment of deciduous hardwoods in the mountains as spring unfolds. And in some conifers, I saw a dieback of the terminal stem. After secondary branch apical dominance, I saw a second dieback. And then I saw a dieback of the top third of the same trees. In continuum, unless there is a change in the present trend in which the developed land is contaminating the undeveloped land by physical processes fore-mentioned, “Biological Check Mechanism” (Keegan 1982) Cancer, childhood cancer and congenital defects will continue to rise unabated as dictated by Natural Law. In other words, “Natural Law will exact what is necessary to maintain the balance of life.” (Circle of Native American Elders) Unless there is a continuous concerted effort to put forth by the political and influential people of the Adirondack Mountains, the country of Canada, Albany, Long Island and Washington, D.C. in regard to chemicals and their compounds, especially lead, mercury, dioxin, and other substances in orographic, cyclonic and frontal precipitation and often referred to and sometimes mistaken as only acid rain, the deterioration of biotics of is imminent, including the hazards to human health. Such degradation/debilitation of biotics is a major contributing factor to the high incidence and manifestation of many diseases due to chemical changes via the infiltration of biotic cellular barriers. The vehicle by which this accumulative and nonaccumulative biotic contamination is presently accomplished is primarily through our water resources and that which is consumed by our food chain and by us. (published in 1979) Every time the land is made bare by covering, strip-mining, toxic dumping, improper land use and forest management, wind and water erosion of the land surfaces prevail. Suspended particulates waked by moving objects across the land surfaces, wind shear, vehicle and stack pollution are major contributors to drought and downpour weather situations across the land. There are too many suspended particulates for completed condensation in precipitation of the hydrological cycle. Again, droughts and heavy rains are a result. Droughts accompanied with severe cold in winter contribute to more intense ice
jams in Adirondack rivers (physical function glaciation) during winter and spring. Furthermore, these situations that are a result of particulate rise which add to naturally suspended particulates in our atmosphere hasten the eutrophication of a dammed rivers and hasten the eutrophication of lakes by heavy rain and resultant erosion of soil surfaces into these eutrophic and other bodies of water. Mud and debris slides occur along cirques and other steep gradients more often. In winter, the lack of precipitation over long periods of time in which human made and caused suspension of particulates contribute, there is a greater degree a progressive decline in snowfall that is collectively costing eastern ski area operators multi-millions. Please realize that every time there is a hurricane, tornado, flood or other catastrophic weather phenomenon that occurs in our country, the impact on natural cover is unprecedented since many building structures have to be replaced. The water is fouled and the water table permanently contaminated. It is the hope of many, including myself, that the directional philosophical movement that we pass through in time will be a movement in a direction toward a process of change for our children and future generations. But it is my intention in principle to raise the consciousness of human kind of the imminence of biosphere contamination at a slow rate. “The faces of our future generations look up from the earth, having not gone through conception, biogenesis, life, gestation and birth. God bless the rain that rinses their faces that now calls mother the earth; so that they will be born into the world without biological defect or later carcinogenic from pesticides and herbicides (2-4-D) or their bio-contamination.” (Circle of Native American Elders) In order to know where we are going, we must first know where we have been. There is a need for some changes statewide in history, and science education. Unless things change, future generations will pay dearly for our greed and ignorance. (Ronald Edwin Keegan is a retired high school teacher of the arts and sciences, teaching in places such as the Peru Central School, and lives in the town of Wilmington)

MMA still out in N.Y.
I
n 2005, two brothers won New York State Division I wrestling titles for Union Endicott High School. One, Arthur, was the heavyweight champion, and later played defensive line at Syracuse, eventually being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2010, where he has played for the last two seasons. Next season, Arthur may by Keith Lobdell have the chance to be a free agent and could come home to play for the Buffalo Bills in his home state. Then there is his brother, Jonathan, who was the champion at 189-lbs. He also went on to professional sports, but, thanks to the short-sightedness of New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, still does not have the chance to do what he does best in his home state - wrestle, elbow and submit other men. You see, Jonathan is now know as Jon “Bones” Jones, aka the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion. Bones is not just a champion, but a freakin’ machine in the ring. In his rise to the belt, he has beat UFC legends Stephan Bonnar, Ryan “Darth” Bader, Lyoto Machida, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Rashad Evans (who, by the way, finished fourth in New York State for Niagara-Wheatfield in 1998, when there was only one division). He is 16-1 overall, with his only loss being a controversial disqualification over Matt Hamill for “illegal” downward elbows. This is a guy who, on his way to what would be his championship-winning fight against Rua, saw an elderly couple who had just been robbed, ran after the robber, took him to the ground and put him in a leg-lock until the police showed up. Jones is no longer considered the future of the sport, but perhaps one of the greatest to ever step into the Octagon. But he still can’t fight in his home town or home state. Last week, Speaker Silver held a backdoor meeting where, despite several reports that said the bill to legalize MMA events in the state (you can practice here, you just can’t fight) had more support than ever, he threw it out and said the bill would not make it to the floor of the Assembly for a vote. It was a back-handed move that deserves a similar one from Jones. Just because he may personally feel that MMA should not be legalized or he has buckled to union lobbyists who fight against the UFC and its parent company, Zuffa, because they are not unionized, doesn’t give Silver the right to keep a bill that can pass the Assembly and has already passed the Senate off the floor. Silver (through a spokesman, mind you) said he felt there was not enough support for the bill. According to sources in the backdoor meeting, the bill had 2-to-1 favorable polling with those involved. No support? Sheldon, take a lesson from Jones. Be a man and let this go to the floor for a vote. In the least, you are depriving the fans of MMA in New York the chance to see an event in their state. At the most, you are depriving the taxpayers of New York from all the revenue that would be generated from these fight cards being allowed to take place, along with the sales tax, occupancy tax and other tax revenue that would come into the state. Bringing the UFC in would revitalize a now-dead fighting culture in New York. No one fights at Madison Square Garden anymore, while the UFC would use the facility annually for pay-per-view events. They would probably also host smaller televised events at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, HSBC Arena in Buffalo, Rochester and dare we dream, the Times Union Center. So, enough with the petty games, Mr. Silver. Be a man and let this bill go to the floor of the Assembly for a vote. If it dies, then it dies until 2013. If it passes, then be prepared for a UFC fight card at MSG that would feature all of the best fighters in the promotion, and may include a superfight between the light heavyweight champ and native son Jones against middleweight champ Anderson “The Spider” Silva, who is currently regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the game. When’s the last time you saw the best boxer’s in any division fight in New York State - I’d say Bernard Hopkins v. Felix Trinidad in 2001 (and half of you are saying, who?). It is indeed time for the UFC in NYS. Keith Lobdell is the editor of the Valley News. He can be reached at keith@denpubs.com.

Grand opening ceremonies set for Adirondack Carousel on May 26
SARANAC LAKE — The Village of Saranac Lake announced the creation of a new page on its website that describes all of the social media tools available to communicate and interact with Village government. The address is www.saranaclakeny.gov/connect. “Many residents don’t seem to know that the Village is using Facebook, Twitter, email, and text messages to communicate so we created a webpage that lists all of the social media tools the Village is using,” Village Manager John Sweeney said. The village police department was the first to create a Facebook page and it currently has over 770 fans. Mt. Pisgah has a Facebook profile with approximately 1,000 friends. The Village’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/saranaclake) is newer and has 147 fans. Posts to the Village’s Facebook page are automatically posted at the Village’s Twitter account at #saranaclakegov. The Village also uses an email subscription service that has 70 users. Most recently, the Community Development Department created a Downtown Saranac Lake Facebook page (www.facebook.com/downtownsaranaclake) dedicated to promoting downtown Saranac Lake and its attractions, businesses and events. With 379 fans, it has been growing rapidly and is becoming the best source for residents and visitors who want to know what activities are happening downtown. Community Development Director Jeremy Evans said that using the Internet and social media just makes sense for any community trying to communicate with residents. “When we print and post a meeting notice on our bulletin board, it will reach only those who have some other reason to visit the Village offices,” Evans said. “When we use our various social media outlets we regularly reach 70 residents through our email subscription service and 75 residents through Facebook. We also reach an average of 25 residents per day who visit the village’s website calendar.” Despite the progress, the village has made in increasing its use of social media, Evans said there is room for improvement. “I know there are more than 147 Village residents using Facebook (referring to the number of Fans on the Village’s Facebook page),” he said. “We need to get the word out that the Village is using these tools and we also need to use these tools consistently and build a level of trust with the public. Residents need to feel confident that they can receive the latest, most accurate information about Village government and feel comfortable that they can interact with Village government using these tools.” Evans added that the Village also welcomes feedback about how to use social media more effectively. Although the use of social media will continue to grow in the village, Sweeney doesn’t see the day when the village will stop using more traditional forms of communication. “For a community our size, we are fortunate to have a strong local media presence,” Sweeney said. “Many residents rely on the radio and newspaper to get information about village government and I don’t see that changing in the near future.”

Saranac Lake Central introduces Top 10 percent By Andy Flynn
andy@denpubs.com
SARANAC LAKE — While members of the Saranac Lake School Board of Education eagerly awaited the results of the budget vote Tuesday, May 15, they spent some of their regularly scheduled meeting honoring the Top 10 percent of graduating seniors. High School Principal Bruce VanWeelden presented six of the 14 graduates at the meeting; the rest were busy with other activities. Those in attendance were valedictorian Summer Schneider, Skylar Dell, Jackson Rockefeller, Tyler Rondeau, Emily Shrope and Jazzmyn Tuthill. Those not present were salutatorian Jacqueline Trudeau, Erin Donaldson, Marisa Farmer, William Fieroh, Kaytlin Gochenaur, Leah Kleist, Gabrielle Lewis and Jamaal Tuthill. VanWeelden thanked board members for inviting the Top 10 percent to their meeting and giving them special recognition. “I think it’s a nice welcome surprise because I don’t recall it being done since I’ve taken over at the helm here,” VanWeelden said. School Superintendent Gerald Goldman congratulated the students. “Sometimes we lose sight of what we do here,” Goldman said. “Sometimes at this end of things it’s all about money and tests and bussing, and it is a $28 million budget, so we care about it. But everybody sitting at this table cares about kids and education and what you do and what you care about and what you’re here for.” Goldman also recognized that the students’ academic prowess was not achieved overnight.

Photo by Andy Flynn “You didn’t just do it once or twice or a little bit in your spare time; you did it over a four-year period,” Goldman said. The superintendent pointed out that there’s sometimes a mindset in school that being smart is not cool or OK. “I guess what I’m trying to say is it’s OK to be ambitious, it’s OK to be a little bit independent, it’s OK to be academically oriented, to be interested in ideas and different ways of doing things,” he said. Goldman then thanked the students for attending the meeting.
“The best part about this is you don’t have to stay for the rest of the meeting,” Goldman said. The meeting was brief, going into executive session shortly after the Top 10 percent students left. School Board members were anxious to learn about the results of the school vote. The 2012-13 budget passed 655-274, and Miles Van Nortwick and incumbents Deb Lennon and Katie Fischer were elected to the School Board.

The children will also be one of the first groups to ride the carousel along with the carvers and artists who generously donated all the beautifully crafted Adirondack wildlife figures, rounding boards painted with historical scenes, and medallions featuring wildlife flowers. “It’s been a long time in the making and we’re beyond excited to celebrate the Adirondack Carousel’s debut in the Tri Lakes region”, chair of the Board Marge Glowa said. “It’s truly remarkable what a small group of dedicated volunteers has been able to accomplish for their community.” Riders can choose from 16 moving wildlife figures that include a Big Mouthed Bass, Bobcat, Black Fly and Loon; the two current “standers” (“Paws” the Bear and “Bubbles” the Great Blue Heron), and the all-accessible

WESTPORT/ELIZABETHTOWN — Students in a pair of environmental science classes had the chance to put learning into action recently in order to help reclaim riverbanks. Students in the Elizabethtown-Lewis and Westport science classes each spent part of their school days planting trees along the Little Boquet River (ELCS) by the Footbridge Park May 17 and the Black River (Westport) on Ledge Hill Road May 18. Julie Martin, executive director of the Boquet River Association, said that the trees planted were part of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Trees for Tribs program. “This will help to prevent erosion and stop more sediment from getting into the river,” Martin said. “There are also some trees that sprout berries, which is good for the wildlife.” Bosley said the two projects allowed students from the schools to take an active part in helping their local ecosystems. “For the students in Elizabethtown, the Footbridge Park is their park and they get a chance to help out in their town,” Martin said. “It’s a chance to get out in both towns and work with the students and give them a sense of some ownership.” ELCS teacher Becky Bosley said her class has been involved with a number of community-related projects, including the planting activity. “It puts the classroom into action and shows how what we are learning applies to real life,” Bosley said. Westport teacher Jason Fiegl said the planting project was also a chance for the students to see what happened in their town as a result of the past year. “We have talked about how weather

was a way that the students felt they could help out and stop erosion. They were excited to come out and plant.”

Funds sought to revitalize CCE building on county fairgrounds By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Essex County Cornell Cooperative Extension officials are looking to update their current home. Anita Deming of CCE said that there was a capital campaign being started to help raise funds for the building, which is located at the corner of Main and Sisco Streets in Westport on the Essex County fairgrounds. Deming said the capital campaign was only part of the funding component. “It is a county building, but of course Cooperative Extension, Soil and Water and the Fair are the ones the primarily benefit from the use of that building,” Deming told Essex County Supervisors May 14. “We are all going in together to try and raise $250,000 from private funds and then to match that from $250,000 Historic Preservation, which Mike Mascarenas is helping us with and additional dollars from NYSERTA for some of the energy efficiency things we need, and additional grant application to Community Development Block Grant Alan Hipps has agreed to apply for that for some of the handicap accessible issues.” Deming outlined what would be done in the project. “A solid foundation is first, and Carl Schroder is giving us what the specs have to be for that,” Deming said. “There is a lot of

rotted wood in there and things like that and it would also include the flashing for the roof because that is not high enough at this point in time. The restrooms of course, we don’t have a handicap accessible restroom on the first floor so that’s kind of not good. We don’t have one anywhere and the possibility of a lift is one of the things that we’re trying to get so people could go upstairs if they were in a wheelchair. “The windows are pretty old, so we want to get some energy efficient windows, storm windows at least so that we can keep the heat in there,” Deming continued. “Our heating and lighting is slowly being replaced as things totally die, but we thought if we do it all together all at once it may be more efficient. Finally we’re going to basically have to take all of the porches and porticos all those pretty things, the cupola are all going to have to be redone.” Deming presented supervisors with a brochure that will soon be going out countywide seeking donations. “That’s our plan and we would really appreciate if you know anybody that you would like to send me to or you would like me to come with you to go and visit that might be an angel donor,” Deming said. We are looking for names of people that would care about saving that building which is really, really pretty.”

Voters OK local school budgets By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — All local school districts saw their adopted spending plans approved during May 15 voting, with a mixture of new and returning members to respective school boards.
AuSable Valley
Voters overwhelmingly approved the 2012-13 budget at AVCS, 445-168, which called for $28,305,558 in spending and a tax levy of $12,064,762, a 2.30-percent increase which was under the state-mandated tax threshold. Three incumbent members of the school board were reelected to their positions, as current vice-president Sherry Snow received 488 votes, Robyn Pray received 475 votes and current board president Mary Bailey received 432 votes.
Elizabethtown-Lewis
Voters in the ELCS district
also showed support for their school budget, passing it 19664. The 2012-13 budget calls for $7,421,195 in spending and creates a tax levy of $3,340,360, an increase of 2.66-percent that met the state mandated tax threshold. In a contested school board seat race, current member Nick Disogra, who was appointed in January to replace Tammy Apthorp, received 145 votes against former board member Robert Wagner, who received 114. Disogra will continue to fill the unexpired term of Apthorp, who moved away from the district. Current board president Brett Sicola, who ran unopposed for his seat, received 206 votes.
Keene
Keene voters passed the 2012-13 spending plan by a healthy margin, 110-29. The budget calls for $5,346,979 in spending which creates a tax levy of $4,469,927, a 1.68-percent increase from the 2011-12
Whiteface Open returns
Lake Placid
While the meetings leading up to the vote were sometimes heated, there was very little concern when it came to the final tally of the LPCS budget as voters approved the plan by a 524-301 margin. The plan calls for $16,820,009 in spending and creates a tax levy of $13,986,396, up 1.79-percent from 2011-12 and within the state-mandated threshold. In the race for three school board seats, Patti Gallagher received the most votes with 733 for a three-year term, while Mary Dietrich received 711 votes to fill a second three-year term. Martha Stahl will serve a two-year term after receiving 537 votes to fill the remainder of an unexpired term, while Joan Valentine, who had been appointed to serve on the
votes.
Willsboro
Voters in the Willsboro Central School District approved the 2012-13 $7,894,867 spending plan, the same as the 201112 budget, with a 191-40 vote. The budget calls for a tax levy of $4,762,188, a 2.12-percent in-
crease that was under the state-mandated threshold. In school board elections, Donald Hollingsworth was elected to the board with 206 votes, while incumbent Phyllis Klein received 204 to fill the second seat up for election. There were no other candidates.
Westport
Voters in the Westport Central School District passed a $5,408,000 2012-13 budget by a 206-122 margin. The spending plan creates a tax levy of $3,249,654, an increase of 2.85percent which was under the state-mandated threshold. Voters also approved a $455,200 Excel capital project to install a generator at the school and make improvements to the school’s library by a vote of 171-157. A similar proposition was defeated in December of 2009. Voters also passed proportions to purchase a new school bus (221107) and a new passenger van (236-92).

fifth highest peak. Registration for this event is available at www.bikereg.com/Net/14909. Organizers of this event hope that the early Saturday start time will leave cyclists enough energy to race in Sunday’s, June 17, WW100, which the only Leadville Trail 100 (LT100) qualifier in the northeastern United States. As many as 1,000 cyclists are expected to compete for as many as 100 qualifying spots into the LT100. This 69-mile long out and back race, beginning and ending at Whiteface Mountain, will weave its way through Wilmington and the neighboring towns of Jay, Keene, Lewis and Elizabethtown before returning to the Olympic mountain for a final climb of 2,500 feet and the finish line. In addition to the Whiteface climb, riders can also look forward to climbing both Jay and Saddleback Mountains. Not once, but twice since this is an out and back race. Both of these climbs are more than 750 meters apiece. Several free family-friendly events also make up the Wilmington Whiteface Bike Fest. They include a bike parade, “The Brainless not Chainless Gravity Ride,” beginning from Santa’s Workshop, stunts, jumps and trick exhibitions, mountain bike instruction, as well as live music and games. Whiteface Mountain will also host the seventh annual 5k Downhill at Whiteface, which is expected to feature 200 professional and amateur racers.
America’s freedom is a gift that spans generations. America’s freedom continues to be purchased by the blood of patriots. Memorial Day honors the men and women whose supreme sacrifice helped to make America “The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave”. Remember their service and sacrifice, which was made for each of us and for the future of our nation.

they can cycle a few miles down the road to the Wilmington Wild Forest Beaver Brook Trail System and experience more than three-and-a-halfmiles of some of the best trails in the northern Adirondacks. Whiteface Mountain, which hosted the 1980 Olympic Winter Games’ alpine competitions, is also an exceptional downhill cycling venue. The mountain has 27 diverse trails, 17 of which are single track, that range from hardcore expert only downhillers, to cruisers and winding crosscountry paths. Some runs can take as long as 40 minutes, from top to bottom. Wilmington will be showcasing all of these cycling opportunities when it hosts its annual Wilmington Whiteface Bike Fest, June 14-17, which Preston calls, “a celebration on two wheels.” Preston believes that this is a great opportunity for road and cross country cyclists, and everyone in between, to experience first-hand what Wilmington and the surrounding communities have to offer. Two events that highlight the Bike Fest are the 11th annual Whiteface Mountain Uphill Bike Race, Saturday, June 16, and the second annual Wilmington/Whiteface 100k (WW100). The 11-mile uphill BUMPS (Bike Up the Mountain Points Series) race, scheduled to start at 8 a.m., begins at Whiteface Mountain and will take the more than 300 road cyclists up the mountain’s scenic Veteran’s Memorial Highway. Whiteface is New York’s

WILMINGTON — Wilmington is quickly becoming know as a cycling destination. “That’s something that we’ve been striving to become for some time now,” Town of Wilmington supervisor Randy Preston said. “It’s not much of a secret anymore. We’re always going to be known for skiing, fishing, hiking, etc. But this community also wants to be known for its vast cycling opportunities.” Wilmington is surrounded with endless cycling opportunities. From downhill, cross country and road cycling there’s something for all levels of abilities and fitness. “From professionals to someone who just wants to enjoy a casual ride and breathtaking views that surround them, it’s all here,” Preston stated. “I think it’s the variety of terrain that separates us from other destinations.” Wilmington continues to add mileage to its mountain bike trails, with the cooperation of the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Bark Eaters Trail Alliance (BETA). Today, riders can enjoy more than 10 miles of trails at the Wilmington Wild Forest Flume Trail System. These trails, which are rated easy to hard, offer diverse terrain with views of the beaver dam and the west branch of the Ausable River. Additionally, riders can hop off their bikes and hike the “foot trail” to the top of Flume Knob, offering breathtaking views of the Adirondacks. When done with these trails,

General Composites, Inc. ready to take the next step, hosting job fair Job fair
keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — The company that was started by Jeff Allott in 1987 is ready to take a more prominent role on the world stage. General Composites, Inc., located in Willsboro, has been at the forefront of composite technology and design for a while but was waiting for that extra push to put them over the top. “We have done a lot over all of these years,” Allott said, including combining plants in their Willsboro site, which allowed them to be certified by the International Standards Organization. “That helped us so we could look for an outside power to help us grow,” Allott said. “We want to be a significant player in the composites industry, not just locally or regionally but worldwide.” The push came when a private equity group out of Rhode Island invested in the company.

“The biggest key was to find somebody who was willing to believe in us,” Allott
said. “This group had an interest in advanced materials. They knew that we were poised on a high growth area of production and our hope is that we are going to have some significant stories to tell over the next five to 10 years.” Allott, who along with founder now has the title of Vice President of Business and New Product Development, said he was proud to see the company where it is today. “This is exactly what I was looking for,” Allott said. “It has been a lot of fun to watch this growth over the years. I wanted to be at the point someday where I was sitting in a different position.” “It’s pretty exciting to see what is going on and that is a big part of why I am here,” Mimi Lane, Plant Manager, said. “The common thread for us is that we bring the expertise of composite design.” “It’s nice to see that the company is continuing to grow and that we are not going away,” Production Manager Bob Egglefield, who has been with the company for 16 years, said.
As part of taking the next step, General Composites is hosting a job fair and open house Thursday, May 31, from 2 until 6 p.m. at their plant, located in the Willsboro Industrial Park. “GCI is here and is very much committed to the community,” Allott said. “We want to get people in here and aware of what we are doing,” Egglefield said. The job fair and open house is a chance for people to see what GCI does and produces, which is more than what some may believe. “A lot of people still think that we make kayaks, which we actually don’t,” Allison Whalen said. “We make paddles for a kayak, though.” “We are really a manufacturer of composite, component parts for other companies,” Lane said. “We work with people who have a product and are looking for a replacement to metal.” Allott said that one area that has been growing recently is automotive and aerospace. “As gas prices go up, companies are looking for lighter materials that will help with fuel efficiency,” he said. “We deal with everything from recreational to medical and do deal with some automotive,” Lane said. Lane said that the fact that they are on the forefront of composite technology means that they are not only a manufacturing entity, but also a design entity. “We are using a multitude of materials to come up with what is needed to accomplish the job,” Lane said. “We can go from the design room and the base fabric all the way to the finished part.” Items that GCI currently work on include backpack frame sheets for packs used by U.S. Special Forces; medical external fixation devices and surgical targeting devices; snowboard bindings, custom bicycle forks and golf club heads; as well as automotive inlet ducts.

Saranac Lake Central
Voters approved the 2012-13 budget 655-274. The 2012-13 budget totals $28,394,257. The tax levy increase is $389,834, or 2.13 percent. That comes
in under the state’s mandated maximum allowable tax levy increase of 2.14 percent ($392,377). The current tax levy is $18,295,387, and the 201213 tax levy is $18,685,221. Miles Van Nortwick (596 votes) and incumbents Deb Lennon (533) and Katie Fischer (397) were elected to the School Board. Incumbent Tracey Schrader received 378 votes and will be off the board at the end of June. Nathan Cox and Michelle Hill tallied 384 and 310 votes, respectively. The proposition to purchase two buses for $220,000 passed 639-234,
and the $134,776 levy for the Saranac Lake Free Library passed 641-257. The Saranac Lake vote results were supplied by District Clerk Christine Fransen.
Tupper Lake Central
Voters approved the 2012-13 budget 398-112. The 2012-13 budget totals $16,009,997, up 0.10 percent ($16,127) from the current budget of $15,993,850.

ARISE fires back at ACR lawsuit TUPPER LAKE — The recent Article 78 lawsuit filed by PROTECT the Adirondacks, the Sierra Club, Phyllis Thompson, Bob and Leslie Harrison against the Adirondack Park Agency and the issuance of the permit for the Adirondack Club and Resort, has had a far reaching effect on the overall community of Tupper Lake, according to members of the Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving our Economy (ARISE). “It is really sad that the actions of these groups and individuals has essentially stopped everything in our community,” ARISE Chairman Jim LaValley said. “Prior to the lawsuit being filed, we were working with several businesses that were interested in opening in Tupper Lake. They included restaurants, gift shops, small manufacturers and more. They were thrilled that the Adirondack Club would provide a catalyst of opportunity, and they wanted to get in on the ground floor. Since the Article 78 was filed, all of the inquiries have stepped back. Even existing businesses have stopped expansion plans.” “There was a tremendous amount of private investment money ready to step
up and be involved with downtown revitalization and community redevelopment,” Mark Moeller, Chairman of the Tupper Lake Business Community, said. “All of that has now been stopped, preventing new job opportunities and taking the momentum away from a brighter future. It has impacted our eligibility for grants, and other monies, that would have helped transform Tupper Lake into a vibrant community.” “Even those groups that rely on private donations and public support have been impacted,” Tupper Lake Chamber of Commerce President David Tomberlin said. “We anticipated a higher volume of traffic this summer as a result of the ACR impacts, and without the higher level of interest from outside individuals and groups, the Wild Center, the Adirondack Public Observatory, and others will miss out on greater economic opportunity. In addition, as a member of Governor Cuomo's North Country Economic Development Council, i'm concerned that this lawsuit will cause Tupper Lake to miss out on opportunities with this year's round of $750 million in economic funding available.”

Paul Smith's College professor Curt Stager and Jay White (right) collecting a sediment core from a South African lake.
Paul Smith’s professor, students research in South Africa PAUL SMITHS — Warming climate may mean less rainfall for drought-sensitive regions of the Southern Hemisphere, according to a study published by a professor at Paul Smith's College and an international team of researchers and students. As part of the study, which was supported by the National Science Foundation, Curt Stager and colleagues found that rainfall in South Africa over the last 1,400 years was affected by temperature, with more rain falling during cool periods and less during warm ones. The work was recently published in the online journal, “Climate of the Past.” “Climate models have been showing that global warming could push storm tracks southwards and away from the mainlands of southern Africa, South America and Aus-
tralia,” Stager said. “This research supports those predictions of increasing aridity, which could lead to major problems for societies and unique ecosystems in those already-arid places.” Stager, who was lead author of the study, collected sediment samples from Lake Verlorenvlei, in South Africa. By analyzing tiny, glassy-shelled algae that were preserved in sediment layers brought from the bottom of the lake, he and the researchers were able to reconstruct rainfall patterns dating back to 600 A.D. Two Paul Smith's College undergraduate students, Christiaan King and Jay White, also participated in the study, along with scientists from the University of Maine and institutions in South Africa and Europe.

Good & Bad Cholesterol...
Know YOUR Numbers Good cholesterol (HDL) – the higher the number, the happier your body. Bad cholesterol (LDL) – the lower the number, the lower the risk for heart disease. Add your LDL – Bad cholesterol and your HDL, good cholesterol together… If it is over 150 you are at risk of heart disease. Ask your doctor about lowering your cholesterol through a healthier diet and regular exercise. Eating high fiber foods like oatmeal, apples, fish, nuts, berries, broccoli and celery, low fat dairy products and substituting olive oil for butter can be simple steps to a healthier heart.

liver their findings at the meeting and expects a recommendation to come from there. “We will hear the subcommittee’s findings and hear their feelings and recommendations on the issue,” Politi said. “Then, we will make a recommendation to the full body.” Politi said that each member of the subcommittee was tasked with looking at a specific areas when touring the homes in order to provide a comprehensive report. “I hope that this will be a very informative meeting,” Politi said. “It should be good.”
Lewis Supervisor David Blades, who chairs the subcommittee, said that his group would present their findings to the full committee but would let them make the recommendations. “We are going to present our findings out of the visits that we have made and information that we received through this process,” Blades said. “We can make a recommendation off of what we know, but that is really for the committee to decide. I do not know if it will come from us.” Blades is joined on the subcommittee by Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley and Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey, along with Office for
the Aging Director Patty Bashaw and Horace Nye Home Registered Nurse Sabrina Westover. Public Health Director Linda Beers serves as an alternate and advisor. The sub-committee traveled to homes run by Eliot Management of Monsey, Centers for Specialty Care of New York and Gerald Woods, CPA, of Baldwin. In a second round of bidding, Eliot added $100,000 to their base bid of $4 million, while Centers for Specialty Care added $50,000 and Woods declined to resubmit a bid. All three had bid the minimum asking price when the originals were opened in March.

public hearing outside the walls of the County Building. The event will begin at 10 a.m. and will include several guest speakers such as Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava, Chesterfield Supervisor Gerry Morrow, possibly Essex Town Supervisor Sharon Boisen, and more. Beeman said there will be an opportunity for any resident who wishes to speak to share their thoughts on the potential sale. “This will be more of a gathering for those who want to support the home and for those who don’t want to see the nursing home privatized,” Beeman said. A balloon release will follow the speakers and three artists will perform including local musician Stan Oliva, who will perform his tribute song to HNNH, “The Crawl.” Scozzafava said he is in favor of having the future of the Horace Nye Home being decided through a referendum vote rather than by the board of supervisors. “This will affect the county residents and they should have a vote,” Scozzafava said. The event will be a way resident’s can show how they feel about the future of the home, he said. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with residents of the home, family and friends of residents as well as the staff at there. Beeman said the tone around the home has been anxious among the staff, resulting in more staff members leaving to find other, more secure positions in case the home is sold. The remaining staff have done their best to address the questions of residents to tell them their care will continue as it always has. “We have been doing our best to reassure the resident’s that their level of care will stay the same no matter what happens,” Beeman said. The situation has been very depressing at the home as the fate of Horace Nye is debated by the county, Beeman said. Beeman added she hopes for a large turnout and good weather on June 2. She said the event could be the last opportunity for area residents to show their support for Horace Nye before the board reaches a decision on the home. The Horace Nye Nursing Home sub-committee members will present to the Horace Nye Task Force May 29 their findings at the nursing homes owned by prospective buyers. The committee is expected to give their recommendation to the board of supervisors following their presentation. Scozzafava said he hopes others come and voice their opinion before the home is lost for county residents. “If it goes private, people will find out in a hurry what a tremendous asset it was to our community,” Scozzafava said.

Section X football breaks up with Section VII, Northern Conference Change will mean loss of annual Mayor’s Cup game By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — Last year, the Saranac Lake Red Storm football team captured the annual Mayor ’s Cup against the Tupper Lake Lumberjacks. They’re going to be holding onto it for a while. Section X recently announced that they are walking away from the Northern Football Conference — a joint venture between Section X and VII which brought the annual battle between the two Tri-Lakes towns back for the past nine football seasons. “With the new schedules, there will be no way that we will be able to schedule that game,” said Saranac Lake Athletic Director Mark Farmer, who is also the Section VII football chairman. Farmer said that Section X had made a request to end the agreement in the second of a two-year deal earlier this year, but Farmer wanted to wait to make sure all of the schools in Section VII would have sports programs. “Each deal that we made was for two years at a time,” Farmer said. “They came to us and said that they could not financially afford to do this anymore.” Farmer added that all of the schools involved in the merged league have expressed
Due to the end of the Northern Football Conference, the annual Mayor’s Cup Game between Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake will be put on hold, as the Lumberjacks play in Section X and the Red Storm in Section VII. Both have full schedules this season. Photo by Keith Lobdell concern. “All schools are now facing difficult budget issues, and the travel cost that were once not an issue have forced schools to re-think
their involvement in the merging of the two leagues,” he said. The Northern Football Conference began in 2003 to provide schools in the two sections
a chance to compete against other schools within their class size, allowing for a more full schedule for the Class B, C and D teams. Now, the Section VII league wil consist of the eight schools with football programs. Four of the programs — Beekmantown, Peru, Plattsburgh and Saranac — are Class B schools. AuSable Valley and Saranac are Class C, while Moriah and Ticonderoga are Class D. In the regular season, each school will play each other, with home and away matchups rotating by year. After the first seven weeks, the Class B teams will start their playoffs with a semifinal round, while the Class C and D teams will play crossover games. Week nine will be the sectional championship games for each class, with winners advancing to face the Section X champion in the regional round of state play. Farmer said that the junior varsity schedule will also change, with games to be played under the same site/same school format. “Fans can enjoy a full day of football action,” he said. The 2012 Section VII football season will open Labor Day weekend, with AuSable Valley hosting Saranac and Moriah hosting Plattsburgh High on Aug. 31; while Peru will host Saranac Lake and Beekmantown will host Ticonderoga Sept. 1. As for the other half of the Mayor ’s Cup rivalry, Tupper Lake will play a Section X schedule in 2011. No tentative schedule has been released.

n 1624, a Jesuit priest traveling through the Dismal Wilderness of the Adirondack region claimed his experience with the demons of the north was, “The worst martyrdom I have ever suffered in this country.” Although customs have certainly changed over the past 350 years, blackflies continue to haunt the vast howling wilderness of the North Woods. In many locations the blackflies have been particularly troublesome this season, and yet in other areas they have been seemingly non-existant. The little black devils have not been as charming as usual, but nobody seems to be complaining. While the bad bugs have not proven to be as troublesome as usual, the usual mayfly hatches have been prolific this season, and trout have been responsive, particularly on the West Branch of the Ausable River, where a host of anglers recently enjoyed a friendly and gentlemanly competition while participating in the 13th Annual Two Fly Contest this past weekend. This popular annual event matches anglers from across the northeast with a fishing partner and they work the river in tandem. Awards are based on the total length of all fish taken over the course of two days of fishing. The anglers measure and account for their own catch on an honor system. It is a gentleman's agreement in a gentlemanly pursuit, and no victory is without honor. Their total catch is unlimited of course, as there is a requirement that all fish must be released unharmed after being measured. However, the angler's flies are not unlimited, which makes their knots all the more important. Each angler begins the event with just two chosen flies in their possession, which they can fish wherever and whenever they like, from sunrise to sunset. If the two flies
A brook trout weighing 5.85 pounds has been certified by the Warrensburg DEC office, breaking Daniel Germain’s record caught in South Lake in June of 2011 by one ounce. The previous record was a 5 pound, 41/2 ounce brookie taken from Racquette Lake on June 7, 2009 by Tom Yacovella, pictured above.
are lost on a fish, or a snag or even to a poor knot, the angler is out of the competition. This year, competitors enjoyed nearly ideal river conditions, which were far removed from the flood-level waters they encountered last year on the Ausable. The river was in great shape, and although a bright sun chased them downriver all day, the total take was impressive, with several anglers topping over 300 combined inches of fish. That computes to landing more than 30, 10-inch fish or more than 15, 20-inch trout in just two days of fishing. The top angler claimed he was using a Montana nymph fly throughout the event. While it is obvious that the streams and rivers have been producing quite well, the reports coming in from the ponds and lakes have likewise been promising, with stories of anglers taking numerous big lake trout, large splake and even a potential new state record brook trout. The brook trout, which was presented to NTSDEC biologists at the Region 5 Warrensburg Office, was a 21 1/4inch fish which weighed 5.85 pounds. Reportedly, the catch was taken from a pond in the West Canada Lake Wilderness Area in early May. It has already been certified as a brook trout by the Warrensburg Office, which forwarded it along to the DEC's Central Office in Albany for verification as a state record. If the big fish is certified in Albany, at a weight of 5.85 pounds, it will eclipse the current state record brook trout record of 5.8 pounds by just about an ounce. The current record was set by Daniel Germain in South Lake, Herkimer County in June of 2011. The previous state record was taken by Tom Yacovella from Racquette Lake on June 7, 2009. It weighed 5 pounds, 4-1/2 ounces. It appears a new brook trout state record has been established on a regular basis in recent years. Ever since the historic state record brookie of 7-pounds 4-ounces from Punchbowl Pond in Sullivan County was expunged from the record book in 2000. A new, modern day brook trout record was finally set in 2004, with a 4-pound-2 ounce specimen, and a new standard has been established almost every season since that time. With the size increasingly bumping up the record every season, I expect the new record will eventually settle in the range of 6 pounds or better. I believe there are a lot of big fish out there, and the eventual state record brookie is more likely to come from a big lake,rather than a small pond. Brook trout can be found in many of the large Adriondack lakes including Cranberry, Raquette, Blue Mountain, and Lake Placid. These bigger lakes provide a greater forage base, especially for bait fish such as smelt, and in such places where trout have a greater potential to grow.

pring has arrived in the North Country, trees are leafing, daffodils are blooming and that means it’s spawning time on Lake Champlain. Want to catch the bass of a lifetime? Well now is the time. Pre-spawn means the spring feed is on and the big mommy bass are heading for their beds. But before they start their yearly By Howard Hammonds mating, they will be cruising and feeding. So, what should you look for? Look for shallow flats or shoals with plenty of boulder rocks and a clean, hard bottom. Many of these areas are marked on a good lake map. Bass will be looking for crawfish to fatten up on from a long winter of near fasting. But, they will be spooky. Roaming in 4 to 6 feet of water on sunny days they will be easy to spot. Catching them can be difficult though. Since the water is near gin clear they can see you if you can see them. Stealth is the key. Use your trolling motor to sneak along the bank keeping the boat in 7 to 9 feet of water. The following are a couple of proven techniques used by tournament pros that can be deadly this time of year. Dead Sticking a wacky rigged Senko is probably the most productive technique this time of year, but it requires patience. Use a medium-action spinning rod, 8pound test line and a number-one finesse hook. Tie the hook to your line with no weight. Hook a five-inch Senko in the middle, halfway between each end. Leave your hook point exposed. This may be a strange looking rig to the novice, but you’ll soon learn how deadly it can be. Make a long cast in about four feet of water around a patch of boulders or near any cruising bass you see. Close your bail and just let the Senko slowly sink. Don’t move the lure for at least 20 to 30 seconds. No bite? Lift your rod tip to 11 o’clock and wind down to pick up the slack. Wait again, let the Senko drift. Watch your line and feel for the telltale tick or just a heavy feeling. When you sense a bite don’t jerk — wind quickly., taking up slack until you feel the fish — then set the hook. Keep working the area slowly and quietly. A second deadly technique is to burn a crank bait or a medium (3/8th ounce) spinner bait. A chop on the water or a medium breeze really helps this technique. Using the same stealth boat position make long casts at a 45 degree angle to the bank. Most anglers will use a medium retrieve. Instead, try cranking your lure as fast as you can. The best reel to accomplish this is one with a 6 /1 gear ratio. The purpose of the fast retrieve is to imitate a fleeing baitfish and trigger a reaction strike. Hold on tight because when a fish attacks your offering we use the term getting you’re “arm broke.” It’s important that your lure be tuned not to roll. If yours is rolling to the surface, take a pair of needle nose pliers and gently bend the line tie in the opposite direction of the roll. Don’t over bend. Recast and tune again if necessary. Soon the mommas and poppas will start bedding which is the time to leave them alone and get your tackle ready for the next phase — the post spawn. That will only be a few days away and the subject of my next column.
