Community turns out High Peaks Animal Hospital reaches milestone to support St. Agnes By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com
By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — A crowd of nearly 100 people packed the cafeteria at St. Agnes School in Lake Placid June 15 to show their support for the school, which could be closed by July 1 if student enrollment isn’t bolstered. The decision to close the school, which serves students in kindergarten through fifth grade, was made last week when the parish finance committee met with school pastor Father Joseph Morgan. St. Agnes School principal Anne Bayruns was later given two weeks to try and increase enrollment for next fall. There are currently 37 students expected to attend classes in September – the school needs about 50 to remain open. Bayruns said the number of people who showed up for last night’s meeting will help school officials gauge the community’s support for the school and the potential of increasing enrollment. “It just goes to show that everything I’ve been saying all along is true,” Bayruns said. “Lake Placid needs this school, there are people who believe in it, and everyone wants to help. I was amazed that it was as big as it was, but it just went to prove my point that this school needs to stay open. It was wonderful.” During the meeting Bayruns touted the benefits of the school, saying that many students who graduate from St. Agnes have gone on to become valedictorians and salutatorians. She said they also have programming not available in public elementary schools, like French, outdoor education, and drama club. “St. Agnes provides our children with such a strong foundation,” Bayruns told the crowd. Father Morgan said school administrators plan on raising tuition from $1,500 to $1,700. But the parish is already $50,000 over budget for the current school year. The only grade with an enrollment in the double digits is third grade, with 10 students. “So, what do we need?” Father Morgan said. “Well, simply put, we need more students.” Parents, teachers, and alumni asked Bayruns and Father Morgan what they could do to keep the school’s doors open. Lake Placid School Board member Pat Grant sent three children to St. Agnes. “What is it going to take?” she asked. “Does someone have an answer?” Shannon Duffy, who graduated from St. Agnes in 1999, encouraged other former students to spread the word about the benefits of an education at St. Agnes School. “The alums are the ones that went here and we’re the ones that can speak first hand for what this has done for us and for our lives,” Duffy said. “I know, I went here, and I definitely wouldn’t have had it any other way. It’s a close community and everybody feels just like a family. It’s something I would never forget and I’ll fight and do whatever I can.” Throughout the course of the meeting, several parents with children in the school’s pre-k program confirmed they would send their kids to kindergarten next fall, raising enrollment from 37 to 42 students.

RAY BROOK — After 12 years of being a veterinarian, Dr. John D. Cogar opened High Peaks Animal Hospital. Now, 20 years later, Cogar and the business show no signs of slowing down. Cogar had compassion for animals throughout his childhood, which he believes is typical of many children. However, his 34 years in practice have shown him it takes just a little bit more to become a veterinarian. “You need to be someone that when you get into junior high and high school you have a real desire, or aptitude for biology and sciences. You have to be a good student and want good grades, too,” said Cogar. “There’s a lot of kids that will say they love animals, but you’ve got to be willing to pay the price for the tedious academic workload.” After graduating from the Cornell University of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca in 1975, Cogar spent two years working as a veterinarian in Newburgh, finally making his way up to Bloomingdale, where he settled for another 12 years. Then, in 1989, Cogar opened High Peaks Animal Hospital in Ray Brook, where he plans to stay. “It was definitely the first animal hospital in Ray Brook, there’s no question about that,” recalled Cogar. “Actually, there

Barbecue festival heats up with new competition By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — The Winter Sports capital of the world is about to become a center for young people looking to show off their summertime outdoor cooking skills. Lake Placid’s fourth annual I Love Barbecue Festival will host the inaugural I Love Barbecue Junior World Championships during its July 4 weekend run this summer. The event, which is the first-ever major youth competition sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society, is open to youth 16 to 21 years of age. “The competition is designed to energize young barbeque enthusiasts and culinary students at the high school, vocational and college levels,” said ILBBQF organizer Dmitry Feld, who first suggested adding the Junior World Barbecue Championship event as part of the weekend festival. Seven teams have registered for the ILBJWC so far, including groups from New York, New Jersey, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Illinois. “It puts Lake Placid and ILBBQF on another level of American Barbecue competition and culinary arts in general,” said Feld. “Visitors will be able to observe junior teams in action. It will also bring families and friends to Lake Placid to support their teams.” Up to 24 teams are allowed to compete, and are responsible for bringing their own barbeque pits, grills and tools. They will be judged on preparation of three meats, grilled vegetables, a starch and a dessert. Adults may accompany the participants but may not be involved in the food preparation in any way. The overall winning team will be named Junior World Barbecue Champions and receive $1,000 in cash and prizes. $500 prizes are awarded to
both the second and third place teams while another $3,000 will be split between the top five teams in each of four food categories. As if the prize money were not enough, Paul Smith's College will award thousands of dollars in scholarships to members of the top teams. Members of the team placing first will each receive a $10,000 scholarship; second place team members will receive $6,000 scholarships, and third place winners will receive $4,000 each. The scholarships can be used over four years toward a bachelor's degree in any of the college’s areas of study, such as Hospitality, Resort and Tourism Management, or Culinary Arts and Service Management. “This gesture is guaranteeing our youth a barbeque and culinary future,” said Paul Smith's College Provost Richard Nelson. “This year and every year to come, Lake Placid's I Love Barbecue Junior World Championships will extend its hand to the youth of the world.” The ILBBQF is an annual three-day event at the Olympic Speed Skating Oval in Lake Placid, with all proceeds benefiting the Thomas Shipman Youth Center. “For the last three years, ILBBQF raised over $60,000 for the Shipman Youth Center,” said Feld. “This event would not be possible without the generous support of many local businesses, local government agencies, Lake Placid Central high school, civic organizations and volunteers.” The festival begins on Friday evening, July 3, and features weekend-long adult grilling competitions, cooking demonstrations by area chefs and barbecue team pit masters, and children’s activities. There will also be plenty of live music with two appearances by Zydeco music legend C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band, as well as performances by ten different area bands. The World Junior Barbecue Championships take place on Saturday, July 4. An entry form and complete rules are available on the festival's Web site, www.ilbbq.com with an entry deadline of June 25.

the gastric bypass surgery because it is one of the few procedures that has been shown to cure diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes, and laparoscopic surgery because the procedures do not require major incisions. These minimally invasive cases often translate into a quicker recovery time for the patient. He and his wife, Kyungwha Chung, were attracted to the Tri-Lakes region because of the quality of life, and they are able to pursue the hobbies they enjoy. While Moon enjoys basketball, he has recently taken up golf and skiing with his wife. Professionally, he was drawn to the well-established and quality bariatric program at AMC.

Garcia gets Democratic party nomination for DA By Chris Morris and Matt Bosley denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The race for Essex County District Attorney was effectively narrowed to two candidates June 10 when the county Democratic Committee opted to endorse Republican incumbent Julie Garcia. It took two hours of meetings for the committee to give the nod to Garcia, who lost the Republican nomination to Clinton County Assistant DA Kristy Sprague. Sue Montgomery Corey, county Democratic Party Chair, said her party is happy to support Garcia, who’s been on the job since taking the seat from Ronald Briggs in 2006. “We feel that her message of good government and transparency is very important right now in Essex County,” Corey said. “We’re very proud of the work she’s done in the DA’s office and we’re committed to helping her earn another term.” The Democratic committee now has to send out petitions and get roughly 1,000 signatures to place Garcia on the party’s line in this fall's general election. “I was very pleased to receive the en-
dorsement of the Democrats,” Garcia said. “This race is going to be about good government and about Republicans and Democrats coming together for a common purpose, and that purpose is to bring good government to the people of Essex County.” Lake Placid attorney and Independent candidate Brian Barrett also sought the Democratic endorsement, but he later opted to withdraw his request and asked the committee to instead support Garcia. “Brian made it very clear after my Republican endorsement that if he did not get the Democratic support that he would most likely drop out of the race,” said Sprague. “ That is a tough decision to make, but only one that he can make. Best of luck to him in whatever he decides.” One Democratic candidate had expressed an interest in running – John McAlevey of Jay. Committee officials reportedly said he is likely to support Garcia. Garcia still intends to face Sprague in the Republican primary election Sept. 15, according to her campaign spokesman Brendan Quinn. Sprague withdrew her request for Democratic Party support prior to the first meeting. “Some Republicans may try to use the De-

mocratic endorsement against Ms. Garcia, but her policy has always been that she serves all the residents of Essex County,” said Quinn, affirming that Garcia would remain a Republican despite receiving the endorsement of Democrats. “She has no plans to switch parties.”
As the endorsed Republican candidate, Sprague looks for her party’s support to be affirmed in the primary. “I am anticipating and am ready for a two party race in November,” she said.
New initiative aims to bolster graduation rates By Chris Morris
denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — A new initiative by FranklinEssex-Hamilton BOCES and its nine school districts is taking aim at dropout prevention in area high schools. The Graduation Rate Initiative aims to boost the rate of graduating seniors to at least 90 percent by June 2012. The current cumulative graduation rate for the nine area BOCES districts is 78 percent. Through a collaborative effort with the Community Intervention Partnership, the initiative will involve educators and students, families, community agencies and employers. BOCES Superintendent Stephen Shafer said a highschool diploma is key to the
helping high-risk students graduate. “They may be involved with other agencies, some of the students may be involved in probation or other agencies in the county and we have to have support from those agencies as well and work in collaboration with them to really put together the best possible plan for these students to reach graduation,” Shafer said. Franklin County Social Services Commissioner Lesley Lyon chairs the Community Intervention Partnership. She said the program targets the individuals who are most in danger of not

graduating. “We really need to work together to find ways to make systemic changes in the lives of these children and families,” Lyon said. High School Principal Bruce VanWeelden is heading up the effort in Saranac Lake, and he said schools have considerable latitude in how they choose to address graduation rates. “Alternative times, for instance some students maybe they would be able to complete if they had school from 3 to 5:30 in the evening, and that would eliminate some of the discipline issues perhaps that student might be

Popularity doesn’t require alcohol S
o often we look to people that wreck their lives abusing alcohol and then become sober to provide insight into abating such issues as underage drinking or drinking and driving. Instead, I thought it might be interesting to hear from someone that navigated the vicissitudes of high school without using alcohol. Tyler Blaise has the rugged looks you might imagine finding in a football quarterback. In fact, Tyler did quarterback the Moriah football team that went undefeated and to the state finals where they experienced their first loss of the year. Tyler is a member of the National Honor Society and has also participated in a variety of community events including a stint as Santa Claus at the Lee House. I asked Tyler if there was a conscious moment where he decided to maintain his sobriety. “I learned early on in life by watching other people that alcohol can make your life difficult,” he said. “I was told by my parents, teachers, my Uncle Don and Aunt Barbara to be careful around alcohol.” I asked Tyler if it had been difficult to maintain a nonuse posture while many of his peers were using alcohol. “Sure, I have been tempted many times to just be part of what was happening,” he said. “I have always taken sports very seriously; I never wanted to let my team or myself down for any reason, including alcohol. Sports gave me an important reason not to drink.” “You always have a choice; you don’t have to follow what everyone else is doing,” he added. “My real friends will support me no matter what my decision is. Some of my friends have invited me to use alcohol at different times but I always brushed it off as a joke. People know me and at this point and it is not a big deal.” “As a sophomore in high school, I lost a close friend in a car accident. It suddenly dawned on me that I too could lose my life, my future. I feel fortunate for what I have accomplished and I don’t want anything to ruin my future plans.” I asked Tyler what advice he would offer to a teenager entering high school, reminding him that not everyone is the captain of the football team, super popular and gifted with his likeable personality. “No matter where you find yourself, never stop believ-
ing in yourself,” Tyler said. “If you consistently do this, others will believe in you too and you will make good things happen.” I asked Tyler what the high points of his life so far were. “I would say quarterbacking my football team at the finals at Syracuse University has to be right up there. Seeing my baby sister the day after she was born was unBy Scot Hurlburt forgettable and with graduation around the corner, a sense that I am starting something new and important.” “My biggest regret is that I did not study more,” he added. “My generation has been handed some pretty big challenges and I hope that we are up to those challenges.” My impression is that Tyler Blaise is truly a likeable and accomplished young person. The adults that know him support him and are confident that he will be a success in life. His words of advice about believing in ourselves are wise words that we might all take to heart. He mentioned playing in the “dome” at Syracuse as a life highlight even though his team lost. I would speculate that Tyler is one of those resilient people that can often see the positive in most situations; a powerful life skill that will serve him well in future endeavors. Tyler has demonstrated that it is possible to be really cool and not use alcohol; no small feat given the immense pressure to drink in high school! As I walked down the hall with Tyler, many underclassmen walked by and spoke to him. Tyler enjoys an obvious and palpable respect in his school. From what I know of Tyler Blaise, it seems like he has earned it. Remember, all kids count.

‘Stack’ for Best Deals D
id you know that most stores accept two coupons for the same item? Many stores’ coupon policies allow stacking, the term couponers use for pairing a manufacturer coupon (found in newspaper inserts and on the Internet) with a store coupon that the store offers in a local flyer or on its Web site. Pairing the manufacturer coupon and the retailer coupon results in significant savings for you. Often, a shopper who stacks coupons in this way can get items things for free. I know what you’re must be thinking: Free? Yes, free. Completely free. Let me give you a few examples of sales that I’ve recently enjoyed. Shampoo is on sale for $3. The store’s flyer has a $2 store coupon for the shampoo. I have a $1 manufacturer coupon for the same brand of shampoo. Using both coupons together results in $3 savings, and I go home with a free bottle of shampoo. Frozen vegetables are on sale for $1 a bag. The store’s Web site has a store coupon for 50 cents off, and I have a 50-cent manufacturer coupon for the same brand of vegetables. Using these together saves me $1 – my vegetables are free. Even when items aren’t free, they’re often significantly cheaper with stacking. A half-gallon of organic milk is on sale for $3. The store’s Web site has a store coupon for $1.75 off this brand of milk. This milk also has a Web site with a printable manufacturer coupon for 50 cents off a half-gallon. Now, my carton of organic milk is just 75 cents. Learning that stores allow customers to stack coupons is a revelation to new coupon users, and stacking is a big factor in bringing your total grocery bill down to a manageable level. When I go to the grocery store, almost every item I buy is significantly less than the price most other people pay. I buy items with coupons when the items are at their lowest point in the sales cycle, and I
stack store and manufacturer coupons together to achieve the lowest prices possible. Inevitably, people ask me if the store loses money when people use coupons to get items for free or at extremely low prices. The answer is no. The By Jill Cataldo product manufacturers that offer the coupons reimburse the store for the full value of the coupon, plus an 8- to 12-cent handling fee. So, the store actually makes more money when people use coupons. If I use 30 coupons in one shopping trip, the store will make an additional $2.40 just in handling fees alone – plus they will be reimbursed the full face value of each coupon. Coupons pay for a big part of my grocery bill, and my store earns more because I use coupons regularly. It’s best to think of your coupons as cash. When my Sunday newspaper arrives, I immediately bring it in, pull the coupon inserts out, stick them in a folder… and that’s it. I don’t waste time cutting them out or sorting them by product or type or even looking at them until I’m actually ready to go shopping for the week. You don’t have to be a highly organized person to use coupons, but when you start viewing them as cash, you treat them with the same care and organization that you would paper money. The average Sunday newspaper has at least $40 worth of coupons inside. Would you leave $40 cash lying around the house to get lost among other papers and magazines?

To the editor: It’s that time of year again. On July 11th we are riding in the National MS Society “Follow The Foothills” Bike ride to raise fund for MS. Our daughter Catherine was diagnosed 6 years ago and is doing well. She gives herself an injection of Rebif – an interferon drug every other day. These drugs help reduce the symptoms by about 30 percent for about a third of the people who take them. There are very exciting new drugs in clinical trial that promise to be much more effective.
Since as early as Lisa can remember there has always been the promise of hope just around the corner, but now it really can happen! These drugs are expensive – Catherine is moving from Oregon and a special ed teaching position with insurance to looking for a job in Rhode Island. Her husband’s insurance has a cap on medication coverage per year which only covers one month of her medication! The MS Society is working to support research for treatments and a cure. It also advocates for changes in health insurance and services for people with MS. You can help by sending a check payable to the National MS Society c/o Klaus and Lisa Meissner, 206 Coreys Road, Tupper Lake, NY 12986. You can also make a donation at this link: http://main.nationalmssociety.org/ If you would like to ride with us or know someone who would please let us know. Lisa and Klaus Meissner, Tupper Lake

Water steward program expands to Tupper Lake By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — The fight against aquatic invasive species is expanding rapidly in the Tri-Lakes as another popular boating destination plans to take on a water stewardship program. Tupper Lake Water Steward Coordinator Phyllis Thompson informed the town board June 8 that an intern from the Adirondack Watershed Institute at Paul Smith’s College will be at the Tupper Lake boat launch every Saturday this summer. The paid intern will be on the job from early morning until late afternoon. The steward’s role is to educate all boaters on how they can stop the spread of aquatic invasive species, like zebra mussels or Eurasian water milfoil. The intern will demonstrate how to clean boats after use, although it’s recommended that boats be cleaned at a safe distance from put-ins. Thompson says one concern is that 50 per-
cent of boaters using Adirondack lakes have also accessed other lakes, potentially increasing the spread of invasives. “Another thing that was cause for concern was 50 percent of boaters did put their boats in other lakes and it happened in Lake Champlain, and we all know there are invasive species in Lake Champlain, they were aware of the problem but people do move their boats around,” she said. Last year the town initiated a stewardship program at Little Wolf Beach, and Thompson notes she is seeking volunteers to act as stewards on Sundays at the Tupper Lake boat launch. Thompson credited Watershed Stewardship Program Director Eric Holmlund for helping to coordinate the Tupper Lake effort. At last week’s Lake Placid Village Board meeting, Lake Placid Shoreowner ’s Association President Mark Wilson told trustees his group is also looking to expand the lake stewardship program. That program, which has been running for seven years, also coordinates with the Adirondack Watershed Institute at Paul Smith’s College.

Essex County DWI arrests down in 2009 By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The numbers of drivingwhile-intoxicated arrests made in Essex County this year are down significantly according to a report released by the Essex County District Attorney’s office. Essex County District Attorney Julie Garcia addressed the board of supervisor ’s Public Safety Committee June 8, noting the number of DWI cases county-wide have dropped considerably. “The report shows we are making some significant progress with regards to preventing DWI’s,” Garcia said. “For the first five months we only have 100 arrests – last year we had 100 in Ticonderoga alone.” Garcia said if the current pace holds for the rest of 2009, DWI cases in Essex County would total just over 200. By comparison, there were 420 DWI arrests in 2006. “That’s a pretty remarkable difference,” she said. Officials are crediting new prevention efforts in the county. Several towns that were seeing alarmingly high numbers of arrests were subjected to saturation patrols by State Police, Garcia said. In some communities, like Moriah, citizens have initiated grassroots efforts to prevent drunk driving by of-
fering free rides home from bars during the weekend. Garcia said that’s led to a steady decline in DWI cases locally. So far this year, police have made 12 DWI arrests in Lake Placid, 10 in North Elba, five in Saranac Lake and one apiece in Jay, Wilmington and St. Armand. Garcia said DWI cases have increased in the town of Keene over the past month, with three arrests made through April and four in May. Garcia also updated the board of supervisors regarding the creation of an Essex County Victim Impact Panel, to be run by the STOP-DWI office. Most counties statewide have a Victim Impact Panel, and Garcia said they are effective in reforming individuals convicted of DWI. Convicted drivers hear firsthand accounts of the emotional and physical suffering caused by drunk driving. Garcia compared the setting to drug and alcohol
interventions. The STOP-DWI office also runs the Prevention Team, which is similar to the Victim Impact Panel but targets youth who have committed an Alcoholic Beverage Control, or ABC, violation. “Rather than just have these kids do community service and pay a fine every time they get issued the ticket, we would really like to add the education component to that with the hope that they start to understand why we don’t want them drinking,” Garcia said. The prevention programs are funded using forfeiture money.

Power line issue heads to statewide referendum
From page 1
By Chris Morris Glenice Gallagher graduated from the school’s sixth grade last Friday. She said it would be a loss for Lake Placid if the school were to close. “It would be really sad because I actually asked my parents if I could go here,” she said. “And if it closed it’d just be weird without it in Lake Placid.” After the meeting, Father Morgan was optimistic that the support of the community could help to keep the school from closing. “All this positive energy here now, that we’ve had tonight, which is wonderful and so affirmative for St. Agnes School, now it just needs to be channeled into real action,” Father Morgan said. “Beating the bushes for students out there, get the good news about St. Agnes School out there, and getting a firm financial basis too, for the school to survive and thrive.” Several teens from the Adirondack Community Church’s ecumenical youth group made a surprise announcement at the close of the meeting: they’re donating $1,700 they had raised for a trip to New York City to St. Agnes to pay for a student’s tuition. “I had an amazing experience here and I don’t want that experience to go to waste,” said Molly McConnell, who graduated from St. Agnes in 2004. Anne Bayruns said she was stunned by the news. “I can’t even believe it,” she said. “This night just keeps getting better and better. When I heard that they were sitting here tonight supporting us, and they gave up their trip to New York City, to give that money to us? That just shows how generous people are. I could cry and I’m very grateful to them.” Lake Placid School Superintendent Jim Donnelly said before the meeting that the district is ready to assist St. Agnes whatever happens. He said they could absorb the school’s population. “Obviously, there would be some adjusting that would take place, but we hope it doesn’t come to that,” he said. “It would be a sad day if Lake Placid lost St. Agnes.” Residents are encouraged to contact the school’s education and finance committee in the next two weeks with questions, concerns or ideas for bolstering enrollment and fundraising.
denpubs@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — Although it’s already been activated, Tupper Lake’s new electric transmission line faces one final hurdle: a statewide referendum this fall. The power line, which runs from the Stark Falls Reservoir to the village of Tupper Lake, needed a constitutional amendment because it traverses a section of the state Forest Preserve protected by the “Forever Wild” clause of the New York State Constitution. The Senate and the Assembly have both approved the amendment, noting that Tupper Lake has been a frequent victim of mid-winter blackouts because it only has one power source. That electrical
line starts in Malone, splits in Saranac Lake and ends in Tupper Lake. While environmental groups typically have challenged constitutional amendments of the Forever Wild clause, the Adirondack Council supported an agreement to swap a section of forest preserve for a larger parcel of land off of Route 56. “We said we would lead an effort to approve a Constitutional Amendment allowing the Legislature to swap a few acres of roadside Forest Preserve for a wilder parcel away from the highway,” Adirondack Council spokesman John Sheehan said in a prepared statement. The last challenge they face, Sheehan said, is informing voters statewide of the amendment. With no major elections planned this fall,

LAKE PLACID — Almost a half-million dollars will be at stake when the world’s best equestrians return to Lake Placid and the North Elba showgrounds, June 23 through July 5, to compete in the annual Lake Placid and I Love New York Horse Shows. The shows’ two grand prix events, the RV Sales of Broward Grandprix of Lake Placid, Sunday, June 28, and the Hermès Grandprix, Saturday, July 4, feature prize purses of $75,000 apiece. The two Lake Placid horse shows are regarded among the top stops on the national tour and often bring in the best riders including two-time Olympic team gold medalist McLain Ward; three-time Olympic medalist Joe Fargis; 1996 Olympic team silver medalists Anne Kursinski and Peter Leone and 2000 Olympians Nona Garson and Margie Engle.

turnout is expected to be significantly lower than usual. Sheehan said he will be leading a “get-out-the-vote” effort to educate New Yorkers about the importance of allowing the project to move forward. “I will tour the state this summer to speak with editorial boards about supporting and promoting this referendum,” Sheehan said. The bill amending the constitution had to be passed by two separately elected state legislatures. The first amendment passed in 2008 and a second bill passed earlier this year, after the November 2008 elections. A referendum will now go before voters on November 3. If it’s approved, the state Legislature still has to pass enabling legislation to allow the land swap.

A trophy from the Bank
W
Ti fishing tourney Speaking of fishing derbies, the Ti Elks youth fishing tournament was held under sunny skies June 6 and was a resounding success. Get hooked on fishing, not on drugs! is the motto of the Ticonderoga Elks Lodge 1494 Take a Kid Fishing program. The tournament is a catch and release event where all fish are measured for judging and them safely released. Drug Awareness, Good Sportsmanship, Water Safety and Conservation are important aspects of this tourney. Complimentary hot dogs, hamburgers, soda and snacks were served until noon. Norman St. Pierre from Norm’s Bait Shop handed out the prizes. The winners are named below.
ith Fathers Day just around the corner, the 28th annual Lake Champlain International Father’s Day Derby is rapidly approaching. Presented by Yamaha, the LCI is the longest running, family oriented fishing tournament in the country. Recently, while reading a promotional story about the derby, I was intrigued by a quote advising anglers that “a boat isn’t always necessary to compete. All rivers defined as Lake Champlain waters by New York and Vermont are open — and winning fish have come from the banks before.” Fishing rivers, exclusively from the banks, was something I had never considered for derby competitors. However, the potential for catching a large fish on the river or at their mouth is considerable. Area rivers, currently running with high, cloudy waters are full of food. They are certain to attract fish from the big lake. I think it would be great if some kid and his dad took a trophy fish that topped the LCI leader board, while sitting on a river bank.
Bass on the Fly
My son, Harrison and daughter, Malena show off the trout they caught during last year’s youth fishing derby in Westport. Youth fishing derbies could be a thing of the past in some Warren County towns if county supervisors decide to shutter the Warren County trout hatchery.
County hatchery a must save
Winners of the 7-9 age category were: Samantha Manley, Delaney Reeves and Ayden Dube.
M
y son, Harrison, caught his first trout at the young age of 3, thanks to the folks who make the Westport Fishing Derby possible every year. Kids around the region are afforded similar experiences around this time each year, and I can’t say enough good things about the people who help make that happen. Teach a kid to fish and you are giving them a healthy life skill they will take with them always. Many kids would never get the opportunity to participate in this worthwhile outdoor pursuit if it were not for these derbies and the people who organize them. The workers at the county-operated fish hatcheries in Warren and Essex counties are a huge part of making this happen. I want to personally thank these people for what they do, as well as our county leaders for recognizing the importance of funding these facilities. Unfortunately, however, Warren County supervisors are considering axing the $100,000 it takes to operate their county trout hatchery — a casualty of their multi-million dollar budget deficit. Supervisors were to vote on the move at their June 10 meeting, but set the decision aside in order to find out if the state might consider running it. But, the state has said it most likely would not raise trout there, meaning the 25,000 trout and salmon raised at the facility would no longer hit local waters. That, quite simply, is a shame. Put aside the fact the $100,000 comes back tenfold in the revenue spent by fisherman visiting the region because of its astounding trout fishing. Put aside the fact many county taxpayers are also anglers and the premier stocking done by these hatcheries gives a tangible return. Set those considerations aside for a moment, and consider the impact the hatcheries have on the lives of our children. Like its Essex County counterpart, the Warren County hatchery stocks for kids fishing derbies in a number of local communities, and stocks places like Hovey Pond as well as other popular roadside destinations for young anglers. Aren’t the smiles on the faces of these youngsters worth the $100,000 investment? My own son still has the glass fish he was awarded for the trout he caught years ago. He cherishes it, as he does the memory of catching his first fish. I ask you, should we take that memory away from future generations? Supervisors: Find somewhere else to make up your budget shortfall. John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications and an avid outdoorsman. He can be reached at johng@denpubs.com.
Winners of the 10-12 age category were: Nathan McLaughlin, Kassidy Bradley and Sheila Jordon.
The winners of the 13-14 age category were: Charily McLaughlin, Kenny Bell and Clifford Bell.
Cast a line Fishing Calendar (DARKER SHADES INDICATE BEST DAYS)
While growing up in Elizabethtown, I had few opportunities to fish for bass. Sure, there was great bass fishing nearby on Lake Champlain or Lincoln Pond, but it required a boat. Since my major means of transportation was a bicycle — and later a motorcycle — the likelihood of trailering a boat was rather slim. I didn’t have much experience with bass until my senior year in high school, when I worked as a lifeguard at Lincoln Pond campsite. It was the first time I had easy access to a boat and I took advantage of the situation often. Bass responded quite well to my usual offerings of crayfish, frogs, night crawlers or a Mepps Rooster Tail, my “go to lure.” Some days, a slab of perch and a bobber was all that was required. At the time, there were no professional bass tournaments. There weren’t any million dollar prizes to be won by anglers decked out in fancy uniforms speckled with their sponsor’s logos. Bass boats weren’t even considered a type of boat. Bow mounted trolling motors and 200 hp motors the size of a washing machine hadn’t been popularized. A bass boat was defined as something that could carry an angler or two and floated. No flippin’ sticks or jerk baits. No NASCAR with a propeller. Back then, bass fishing was simply an alternative to trout fishing. I pursued bass when the waters were too warm for trout. And, I never considered pursuing bass with a flyrod until much later. I just didn’t think they would be attracted to a fly. I was finally introduced to flyfishing for bass by a guest of mine, early in my career. The gentleman, Mr. C.L. Gaines, Jr., hailed from Birmingham, Alabama, where he operated the Shook and Fletcher Supply Company. Staying at a local resort on the Saranac Lakes, he hired me for a week to take him flyfishing for trout and over the course of several days, we worked both branches of the Ausable and the Saranacs, the Boquet, the Salmon and the Chateaugay. By the afternoon of our fifth day on the water, Mr. Gaines asked, in his slow southern drawl, “Have you got any bass in these waters, boy?” “Yes, sir,” I answered, “We sure do. But I thought you preferred trout?” “Whaaale,” he responded, “I generally do. But, by God boy, there’s nothing more exciting on the end of a flyrod than a big, ol’ bass. Ya’all come by in the morning and we’ll fill a boat with ‘em.” The following morning, as we left the lakeside resort in a small aluminum rowboat, Mr. Gaines produced a large collection of bass poppers. The lake surface was a pane of glass, still and calm. There wasn’t a breath of wind. As he tied a popper on the end of a short leader, he proclaimed, “You’re about to have the most fun a man can have while sitting down.” Handing me the flyrod, he instructed, “Cast it to the shore wherever there is a log, stump or underwater brush. Let it settle and then give it a good yank, so it’ll pop. Then, hang on boy!” Always the ready student, I followed his lead and was startled by the results. I made a long cast to a shoreline littered with debris. As soon as I twitched the bumblebee shaped cork popper, the calm waters exploded as if someone had tossed a cinderblock. At the end of the flyline, a three pound smallmouth bass danced across the surface, tail-walking. It startled me! It took me a while to land the fish, but it was the first of many to come. In the years since that experience, flyfishing for bass has become an obsession. While it will never replace the joy of fishing for brookies on a small stream, it offers a thrilling alternative when the weather is warm and the ponds are quiet. My collection of poppers now includes imitations of mice, bumblebees, dragonflies and even a small redwing blackbird. And, I never look at a glassy lake or pond without hearing Mr. Gaines’ query, “Any bass in these waters, boy?” Boy, am I glad he asked! Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Milestone From page 1 was no pro-veterinarian when I got here in any of the Tri-Lakes.” “My goal was always to go to Ray Brook ... because it’s the hub of the wheel,” he added. So, in 1989, Cogar opened High Peaks Animal Hospital, which was completely state-of-the-art at the time. “When I built the building 20 years ago, it had a nice modern state-of-the-art surgery suite,” Cogar explained, “as well as a separate X-ray room and a separate ICU room and four exam rooms.” Cogar believed it would be the last building he’d work in, however, after 15 years in the building, he outgrew it and had to
expand it to double the size. Today, the veterinary hospital provides “comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care,” according to their Web site, www.highpeaksvet.com. They also provide an array of diagnostic procedures with inhouse testing, a pharmacy, blood testing equipment and boarding kennels with a fenced-in outdoor walking area. But, it’s not just the building Cogar believes makes the business a success. “What makes our hospital a success, in my opinion, is the people,” Cogar said. “I have a real professional staff. All four doctors are excellent, high caliber, well-trained. But, also, I’m blessed that we have four New York State licensed [veterinary] technicians.” Cogar added he has colleagues in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany who have

practices much larger than his, but don’t have four NYS licensed veterinary technicians. “That’s really a high level of sophistication and high level of expertise, and we’re really fortunate to have that in our hospital,” said Cogar, who added there is a total of 20 employees at the hospital which all add to their accomplishments. “The success of our hospital is actually more the quality of people that we have than even the building or the equipment,” he said. Looking to the future, Cogar knows he’ll still be in business for at least five more years. “That’s a fact, for at least five more years. I really enjoy what I do,” he said. “I can’t imagine trying to do it if you didn’t.”
