Rescue dogs visit John Brown farm

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID „ If you get lost in the woods of the John Brown Farm, the best thing to do is find the closest tree and hug it.

That is what members of the Champlain Valley K-9 Search and Rescue Unit told those who visited the state park Saturday, June 8, as part of its Hug-A-Tree education program. ñ I thought that it was a good idea to bring them in and give kids an idea of what to do in the woods in case they get lost,” John Brown Farm Site Manager Brendan Mills said. “It is nice to have the dogs here and to show people what they are able to do.” ñ Shannon Bressett of Keeseville works with a pair of K-9 partners, Oakland and Ruby, who was at the farm to welcome visitors. ñ Four hours of every day is running

training for the two dogs,” Bressett said. ñ Even if it is just going for a walk around Keeseville to make sure that they are able to mind their manners, there is always something that they have to be working on.”

Minding their manners is something that is important when the dogs are working in an area where there are a lot of animals, big or small. ñ When I took Oakland out to work on the Colin Gillis case, we were in the forest and a deer walked out in front of us,” she said. “I was a little concerned because it was the first time we had come across a big animal out in the wilderness, but Oakland just paused for a second to see what was there and then went right back to work.”

Bressett said that each of her dogs are suited for different types of searches, as Oakland will track for human scent in the air while Ruby will keep her nose on the

ground.

“Ruby will find one person at a time, while Oakland is able to search out a group of people,” she said.

Bressett was joined by Jay Sheldon, a Beekmantown Volunteer Fire Department member who is learning to train and work with the dogs.

The duo was also there to promote an upcoming fundraiser for the program, the Dirty Dog Run, which will be held Oct. 19, at the Titus Mountain Family Ski Center in Malone.

“There will be search and rescue-themed obstacles as part of the run,” Bressett said. ñ It is not going to be as tough as your tough mudder courses, but there will be plenty of chances to get dirty.”

Veterans court set in Essex County

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County now has a Veterans Court.

The court, much like a Drug Court, where substance abuse or mental health treatment is offered as an alternative to incarceration. Veteran mentors assist with the programs. ñ It will be part of the Specialized Treatment Court and Judge (Richard) Meyer will be presiding over that,” Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague said. “We are CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

ANCA hosts second Clean Energy Conference in Lk. Placid

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — More than 200 in attendance learned about ways to help protect the North Country environment during the 2013 Clean Energy Conference at the Lake Placid Convention Center June 5-7.

“We expanded this year’s conference by adding a day and expanding the number of presenters and topics,” Melissa Hart of the Adirondack North Country Association said. “We also added an exhibitors’ showcase and gave people more opportunities to talk to each other and network.”

The conference focused on ways to make businesses and communities run greener and featured several exhibits and presentation on topics from solar, wind, biomass and water energy and creating green buildings for use as homes or municipal offices/buildings.

“We want this to be something that North Country residents, businesses and communities can really benefit from,” Hart said. “This is a chance to share that information across the 14

northern counties of New York and talk about the projects and what they are doing from all over the region.”

The conference opened June 5 with a pair of events, including the keynote address by New York State Energy & Finance Advisor Greg Hale, which was followed by a reception and film screening of “Chasing Ice” at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, which was introduced by Curt Stager.

There were also chances for localities to showcase what they had done to go green over the past year, including ReEnergy, Casella, North Country School, and the village of Medina.

“Presenting the real economic savings is something that really brings it home to schools and municipalities just how much going green can help them, as well,” Hart said.

Hart said that ANCA is already looking for exhibitors and feedback that will help them start to prepare for the 2014 conference.

“We welcome any of the feedback that people have,” she said. “We are already looking at some people and groups to come in next year.”

The Adirondack North Country Association Clean Energy Conference was held at the Lake Placid Convention Center June 5-7.

ROOST releases 2012 leisure tourism survey findings

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — People who come to Essex County do so for the outdoors activities, especially hiking.

That is what the 2012 Leisure Travel Study, conducted by the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST), found after collecting data from over 4,000 returned surveys. ñ In the past year, we had 101,998 new contacts through market, websites or other means that were the trackable leads,” ROOST Director Jim McKenna told members of the Essex County Economic Development Committee June 10. “We sent out surveys to over 30,000 people and we received over

LAKE PLACID „ The Whiteface Club & Resort will be offering three league options for doubles players this summer beginning the night of June 26 at 5 p.m. Wednesdays will be Ladies Doubles night and will consist of two separate ability levels of up to six teams each.

Mixed Doubles nights will be Thursdays (Tour Night),

4,000 responses, which is very high.”

McKenna said that the study showed marketing efforts to the county were working, as tourists spent $82 for every occupancy tax dollar spent on marketing. ñ The average spent by each party that came to the county was $328,” he said. ñ That also meant that for every dollar that we spent in occupancy tax revenue on marketing, the county received $3.80 in revenue.”

Other key indicators the study found included: •The average stay reported by 2011 visitors was 4.9 nights. This represents a substantial increase from the 2011 average reported visit duration of 2.8 nights. This figure is also higher than the five year average of 4.0 nights.

•The average age of respondents was 51 years old, and this is consistent with data on average from the last five years.

•One half of visitor respondents reported living in New York state, which was slightly lower than demonstrated from 2011 (53 percent). Visitation from all other regions was consistent from the prior year.

•Outdoor activities have not only remained at the top of the list of activities that attracted visitors to the region, they have steadily grown in popularity as a draw. Hiking was the most popular reported outdoor activity, followed by canoeing/kayaking. Outdoor activities were followed by relaxing, dining and shopping and sightseeing. ñ This survey tells us who

the visitors are and what their expenditures are,” McKenna said. “Hiking is most popular outdoor activity. We found that 69 percent of the folks that come to the county come between May and October and social media contacts more likely to use digital technology to prepare for the trip.”

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava also talked about another aspect of the outdoor draw of the Adirondacks. ñ I know that we have had a lot of debate about the fish hatcheries, but you look at this and 24 percent of the people coming for an outdoor activity are coming to fish,” Scozzafava said.

O’Reilly works to keep out invasives PAUL SMITHS — Megan O’Reilly of Saranac Lake, N.Y., is helping guard the Adirondack Park against the spread of invasive species this summer.

O’Reilly, a student at Le Moyne College, is a steward for the Watershed Stewardship Program. That Paul Smith’s Collegeled initiative protects rivers, lakes and other waterways against invasives and teaches boaters how to keep an eye out for problems on their own.

Invasive plants and animals such as Eurasian watermilfoil, zebra mussels and spiny waterflea pose a growing threat not just to area waterways but also to the economies of Adirondack communities. When invasives take hold in a body of water, they can displace native species and rapidly multiply, making waterways impassible to motorboats and hurting tourism and other industries.

O’Reilly and the other wa-

tershed stewards attended a training session at Paul SmithÍ s College in May before starting their duties on Memorial Day. While stationed at boat launches across the Adirondacks, the stewards will conduct voluntary inspections of boats entering and leaving the water for invasives.

TheyÍ ll remove any that they find, and convey the importance of clean boats, clean gear and clean waters to boaters. The program runs through Labor Day.

DOT, DEC to review the management plan for Remsen-Lake Placid travel corridor SARANAC LAKE — New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Joan McDonald and Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens announced today that the State will initiate a public process to review the Unit Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (UMP/EIS) for the Remsen-Lake Placid Travel Corridor, a 119-mile section of rail line that runs through the Adirondack Park. The UMP/ EIS will be reviewed to assess the corridor’s natural and physical resources in an effort to identify the best public and economic use.

“Based on public feedback, DOT will work with the DEC to review the Unit Management Plan for the region in order to engage local communities about the best future use of the Remsen-Lake Placid Travel Corridor,” said DOT Commissioner McDonald. “The Department of Transportation is focused on providing a safe transportation system that meets the needs

of the communities it serves and helps to support regional economies. Reviewing the UMP will help us do that for the Remsen-Lake Placid Travel Corridor.”

“Members of the public are very interested in the future use of the rail line and reviewing the UMP/EIS process will provide the public with the opportunity to weigh in on the use of the corridor,” DEC Commissioner Martens said. “This public process will enable DOT and DEC to hear from residents, local officials, visitors and other stakeholders on their views of the current and future use of the Travel Corridor.”

The DOT, DEC and the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) developed the 1996 UMP/EIS with considerable public input. The current effort to review the UMP will take into account issues that have developed over the past 20 years by providing an opportunity for all interests to be part of the process and comment on future transportation and recreation opportunities along the Travel Corridor.

The DOT and DEC will work with the APA and schedule public scoping meetings on a timely basis to help determine what issues and factors will be considered in the environmental review. Both agencies will subsequently prepare an amended draft UMP/ EIS laying out a vision for the future of the Travel Corridor. The draft UMP/EIS will be widely available for public review and comment prior to developing a final UMP/EIS that will be considered by the APA, and ultimately approved by Commissioners McDonald and Martens.

The 119-mile long Remsen Lake Placid Travel Corridor is under the jurisdiction of DOT, and is managed pursuant to a Travel Corridor Unit UMP/EIS. The Travel Corridor runs in a northeasterly direction connecting Utica to Lake Placid. Approximately 100 miles of this Travel Corridor is located within the Adirondack Park. An additional 19 miles is located outside of the Park in the Tug Hill Region.

Wilmington Whiteface 100K bike race this Sunday WILMINGTON — Hundreds of cyclists will hit the roads, back country roads and trails during the Sunday, June 16, Wilmington Whiteface 100k (WW100) mountain bike race.

Cyclists from throughout the northeastern United States and Canada hope that this event will qualify them for one of 70 to 100 spots in the prestigious Leadville 100 (LT100).

The 69-mile race both begins and ends at Whiteface Mountain, in Wilmington. But in between the grueling race will take the fields through some of the region’s most challenging cycling terrain that include twisting jeep and gravel roads, back country trails and demanding hill climbs that measure more than 750 meters each.

From the Olympic mountain, which was the site for the 1980 Olympic Winter GamesÍ alpine events, and known for having the greatest vertical east of the Rockies, the out and back race will

take the cyclists to Route 86, the Fox Farm Road, Springfield Road, Hardy Road, Bartlett Road, Lacy Road and Limkiln Road before reaching Route 9N. From 9N, the race’s most demanding and technical terrain and climbs await the field, as they peddle through Styles Brook Road and the Jay Mountain Road ahead of Carlott Road and Blood Hill Road. From there, the field makes its way to Roscoe Road, Bronson Lane, Blueberry Hill and out to Lord Road before returning to the Flume Trails and Whiteface Mountain.

Once at Whiteface, two, three-mile finishing loops and a pair of 350-foot climbs await ahead of the finish line.

Aid stations will be located approximately every 20km along the course (20km, 40km, 60km, 80km, finish). Each aid station will be stocked with Gu Energy Gels, Gu Chomps, Water, Electrolyte drink, fruit, and

light snacks.

The race’s top-three WW100 finishers in each division will be awarded spots to the LT100, while the remaining spots will be distributed based on performance and a lottery system.

Racers who do come away with qualifications will have the opportunity to race in either this year’s LT100 or next year’s.

Cyclists who may not be ready for the full WW100 can also compete in the newly added 50K event. Added to this year’s race, organizers hope that the 31-mile long race will attract more racers, who might someday race in the full 100K. Additionally, the organizers are offering a newly established TEAM class which will consist of two-member teams each riding the 50k course.

Both the 100k and 50k races are a part of the June 13-16 fourth annual Wilmington Whiteface Bike Fest. The

bikefest is designed to promote and showcase cycling opportunities in and around Wilmington.

Continued from page 1 ski, matriarch of the Adirondack 46ers club, at Mid’s Park off Main Street in Lake Placid. Director Fred Schwoebel will be there to share in his remarkable story.

One of the centerpieces of this year’s Forum, “Coffee and Conversation,” at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 15, features the topic of arthouse convergence and how North Country Theaters can continue to play a vital part of the shared experience in the digital age.

Special guest Ira Deutchman, Columbia University professor and Managing Partner of Emerging Pictures, a New York-based digital exhibition company, will lead a discussion about movie theaters adapting to new models and fording the current digital sea change, which ties into the current “Go Digital” Campaign that the Adirondack Film Society helped spearhead a year ago.

The Palace Theatre is one of 10 local movie theaters looking to raise funds in order to convert to digital movie projection. The Adirondack North Country Association has joined with the film society to launch the campaign.

News and updates can be found on the Film Forum blog at lpfilmforum.com, and on Facebook. Tickets are sold at each venue at the screening time. Passes for the entire event will be available online by visiting adkfilmsociety.com or calling 523-3456.

now making sure that police are asking those in custody if they have ever served and if they are veterans.”

Meyer said that the Essex County Veterans Court would offer some assistance in areas other than the traditional matters that come up through the criminal court system. ñ Our Veterans Court is not going to be limited solely to criminal cases, but also to work on domestic issues and family court cases,” Meyer said. “We want to cast as wide a net for as many veterans as possible and their families. It is a wide net that we are trying to cast and it is a little unprecedented in the state, but we are trying to help as many people as we can.”

Meyer said that on the criminal side, offenders would be able to participate in addiction or mental health programs as an alternative to jail time under the discretion of the court.

“If there is a misdemeanor charge and you go to Veterans Court, you have the possibility to have the charge vacated if you complete the Veterans Court program,” Meyer said. “We can provide a whole array of support and services through this team. It will operate the same way as the drug court, but it will be just for veterans.”

Meyer said that while some may enter the court, “just to try and get out of jail,” they will leave seeing the true benefits of the program.

“Once they get into the program and see the benefits, (just getting out of jail) is not the important part to them anymore,” he said. “They see the benefits that it has made in the eyes of them and their family, and that becomes the success for them.”

Meyer said that the court is still being formed and that the biggest need is veteran volunteers.

“We are still in the formation process, and we are trying to get together the mentors,” he said. “That is a key part of the Veterans Court, to get veterans who are not in trouble to come in and help those in need of the services.”

The passing of the Greatest Generation

I

n the amount of time it took to brush your teeth this morning a World War II veteran passed away from old age. Now well into their 80s and 90s, the men and women who fought and won the Great Conflict are dying at the rate of more than 800 a day. That’s approximately one every two minutes.

At one time, there were more than 15 million WWII veterans in the United States. That number has now dwindled to a little more than a million and the median age of a World War II vet is now 92.

It is estimated by the US Veterans Administration that by 2036, there will be no living WWII veterans left to tell their stories of the sights, sounds, victories and horrors of the deadliest war in world history.

Regrettably, many will also never get the opportunity to personally view the National World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. that was dedicated in 2004 to the men and women who fought and died in World War II. That is why the work being done by North Country Honor Flight should be recognized and lauded.

An arm of the national not-for-profit Honor Flight Network, the group was formed in March 2012 by Keeseville resident Danny Kaifetz with the goal of flying North Country WWII veterans to see the War II Memorial in Washington D.C. The premise is simple. Many WWII vets do not have the finances or physical wherewithal to make the trip to D.C. In many cases, friends and family also lack the resources and time to complete the three-to four-day trip by vehicle to the nation’s capital.

With that in mind, North Country Honor Flight offers free transportation and airfare to and from the memorial. Accompanying the veterans are guardians who assist with the trip and the bus transporting them to Albany airport is flanked by veteran groups like the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, the Patriot Guard and the Legion Riders.

While in Albany, they are joined by other Honor Flight groups and treated to a heroes send-off, including crowds cheering and waving, a performance by a military band and speeches from dignitaries.

Signs held up by the crowd read: ”God bless WWII vets,” and “One last mission.”

Then, the veterans board a plane for their all-expense-paid trip to the memorial in Washington D.C. For many it is their one and only chance to witness the tribute that was erected in their honor.

Dozens of veterans from throughout the

circulation area of Denton Publications have already taken advantage of the chance to see the memorial. A group flew out May 18 and another this past Saturday, June 8.

All say they relished the opportunity.

In a letter to the editor, WWII veteran Robert Savarie of Olmstedville said it was an incredibly emotional experience. “(It) was an emotional experience as memories of D-Day, Anzio, Battle of the Bulge, Midway, Guadalcanal, Okinawa and so many other battlefields were brought to mind,” he said.

Other veterans like William H. Thompson of Willsboro, Alfred Kurtz of Elizabethtown and Ralph Filion of Plattsburgh all said they were honored by the gesture made by North Country Honor Flight and the outpouring of support they received from members of the community.

Family members that accompanied the veterans had similar sentiments.

Filion’s daughter, Michelle Filion-Schon, drove to Plattsburgh from Pottstown, Pa., to join her father on the flight.

“I think this could very well be the best day of both of our lives,” Filion-Schon said. “I’m so blessed to be there with him when he sees the memorial for the first time. This is the first time he’s ever been appreciated as a veteran.”

Let’s hope it won’t be his last.

Approximately 16 million men and women served in the U.S. military during WWII. By the time WWII ended in 1945, Nearly 420,000 United States soldiers lost their lives — another 670,000 were wounded.

In the eight years it has been in existence, the national Honor Flight Network has transported more than 98,500 WWII veterans to Washington, D.C. to see their memorial. The program has 121 hubs in 41 states, including the North Country Honor Flight based in Keeseville.

The argument can certainly be made that no other war in our nation’s history was as influential in keeping our country, values and way of life intact as the Great Conflict.

We owe an immeasurable amount of gratitude to the men and women who fought in WWII to keep this nation free for this generation and more importantly for future generations.

But saying so is just lip service.

The people who volunteer their time to organizations like North Country Honor Flight are walking the walk.

Speedy Arnold receives People’s Choice Award at ACW literary event

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — George “Speedy” Arnold was surprised to hear his name called.

Surrounded by family and friends that made the trip with him to the Adirondack Center for Writing’s (ACW’s) annual Adirondack Literary Awards June 2, he knew there were a lot of good books that had been entered into the competition.

Among them was his, ñ WhatÍ s an Elephant Doing in the Ausable River?” Arnold wrote and illustrated the book.

“My publisher said that I should go,” Arnold said. “What made it nice was that my son, daughter-in-law, wife, sister and some friends came with us. I saw all the books that were nominated and my thought was well, at least it was nice to be nominated with them.”

Not expecting to hear his name called, Arnold said he was completely surprised when it was as the winner of the People’s Choice Award, selected by ACW members and attendees.

“It was a pretty amazing thing,” he said.

Adirondack research to help invasive species effort SARANAC LAKE — Adirondack Research, LLC, a Saranac Lake-based ecological research firm, has been awarded a contract with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to assist the Division of Lands and ForestÍ s Invasive Species Coordination Unit with the assessment and classification of non-native animals in New York State.

Dr. Ezra Schwartzberg, owner of Adirondack Research, LLC, and an Entomologist, is contracted to assess the the ecological invasivity and socio-economic importance of non-native animal species in New York State.

The assessments will help with implementation of recommendations of the New York Invasive Species Council, a group created to coordinate among multiple State agencies and partners in addressing the environmental and economic threats of invasive species. The work will inform the official lists of known invasive animal and plant species for the purpose of regulating their sale and transport through the Invasive Species Prevention Act. “The passage of the Invasive Species Prevention Act last year was a significant milestone in stopping the pipeline of invasive species in New York. APIPP is excited that the assessment process is underway,” said Hilary Smith, Director of the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP). “It is also great to see local Adirondack-based firms with regional expertise contributing to state-wide invasive species research.”

Adirondack Research focuses on climate-change and invasive species issues within the Adirondack Park and is collaborating with The New York Natural Heritage Program on this project.

The contract period concludes Dec. 31.

Adirondack Research works within forest and agricultural landscapes to promote healthy ecosystems. This includes research on invasive animals, agricultural pests, beneficial organisms, climate-change resilience, ecosystem connectivity, and biodiversity. Adirondack Research contracts with state and local agencies as well as with non-profits.

Adirondack Health partners with Quitline SARANAC LAKE — Adirondack Health’s community health centers are among the first in New York to partner with the State Smokers’ Quitline to help patients who want to kick the habit.

A new stop smoking and referral process for health center patients has been incorporated into the patient’s electronic medical record at Adirondack Health. Through an integrated counseling and referral process, patients will not only receive stop-smoking counseling as part of a check-up, they are also directly linked to the State Smokers’ Quitline for follow-up counseling, unless they choose not to be referred.

“There are approximately 17,600 smokers in Franklin and Essex counties. As healthcare providers, it is our responsibility to provide the right tools and advice to smokers.” said Hazel Taft, RN, Clinical Case Manager for Adirondack Health.

The NYS Quitline is a service funded by the New York State Bureau of Tobacco Control and provides free 24/7 counseling and support to tobacco users who wish to quit. The Quitline can also provide a free two week supply of nicotine replacement therapy (nicotine patches) to eligible callers.

Helping smokers to quit by providing them with repeated counseling and medication is proven to have the highest quitting success rate. The Department of Health and Human Services has found that counseling in person or over the phone increases successful quit attempts by 30 to 50 percent. When a provider prescribes medication in addition to counseling, quit attempts are 70 percent more successful than with counseling alone.

“By automatically referring people to the Quitline, we’re able to ensure that our patients who want to quit will receive followup counseling after they leave our facilities,” commented Taft. ñ Without the Quitline, more of our patients would fall through the cracks and never receive the counseling and support which can truly make a difference between a successful and an unsuccessful quit attempt. We are very proud to be working with the New York State Smokers’ Quitline to provide comprehensive treatment to patients who want to quit smoking.”

All Adirondack Health locations are smoke-free for the health and safety of patients and visitors.

Speed camp to be held through Adirondack Health SARANAC LAKE — Adirondack Health’s Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Department is offering a six-week summer program for area high school athletes, designed to build a base for training with a focus on proper technique to develop strength and power.

Strength is defined as the ability of a muscle or muscle group to produce force in order to hold or move an object. Time is not a factor. It can take 2 seconds or 2/10 of a second. This becomes important when talking about athletic events and movements.

Time becomes a factor when it comes to power. The more powerful a movement, the faster it occurs. You need strength to have power, and power is necessary for speed. This program will help participants build strength through lifts such as squats, bench presses, rows and Olympic lifts such as cleans and jerks. It takes months to truly develop gains from this type of program, and there are no short cuts.

Training will take place at the U.S. Olympic Training Center’s International Weight Room in Lake Placid. Participants will have the opportunity to improve their abilities where national and international athletes train year-round. There will be a number of guest instructors from the training center to lend their expertise.

The camp is for high school athletes, ages 14-18 years with

Dino Angelopoulos, ATC, CSCS and a staff member of Adirondack Health’s Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Department, has 15 years of experience working with all levels of athletes, from youth/novice to Olympic level athletes. His background in injury management along with strength and conditioning gives Dino the expertise to assist all athletes and improve their athleticism while minimizing risk of injury.

The camp will be held Mondays and Wednesdays, from June 24 through July 31. Times offered are noon-1 p.m. and/or 4:305:30 p.m. Depending on enrollment, sessions may be held at both times. The cost is $249 for 12 sessions.

Area high school athletes interested in participating should contact Angelopoulos at 523-8589 or dangelopoulos@AdirondackHealth.org for more information.

State grants available to North Country non-profits ALBANY — The New York State Department of State (NYSDOS) today announced the availability of federal grants intended to alleviate economic distress and create jobs in local municipalities within New York’s Northern Border Region. Local governments and not-for-profit organizations in the Northern Border counties of Clinton, Franklin, Fulton, Jefferson, Lewis, Oneida, Oswego, St. Lawrence, Cayuga, Essex, Hamilton, Herkimer, Madison and Seneca are eligible to apply for these competitive grants.

“The Northern Border Regional grants are a tremendous opportunity and can be a resource for organizations dedicated to the growth and economic empowerment of the Northern Border region of New York State,” said New York State Secretary of State Cesar A. Perales. “These grants are a great complement to the work Governor Cuomo is doing with the Regional Economic Development Councils, and will serve as another tool to help stimulate development and job creation in New York’s Northern Border Region.”

NYSDOS will accept and review applications and submit them to the Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) for federal assistance and will also work closely with Local Development Districts in eligible areas to coordinate assistance to applicants.

To be eligible and considered for these grants, projects must meet the following criteria: Develop the transportation, water, sewer, energy, and telecommunications infrastructure of the region; assist the region in obtaining job skills and employmentrelated education, as well as entrepreneurship, technology and business development; provide basic health care and other public services for those areas that are severely economically distressed and underdeveloped; promote resource conservation, tourism, recreation, and preservation of open spaces in a manner consistent with economic development goals; and promote the development of renewable and alternative energy sources. Municipalities and not-for-profits are encouraged to apply for up to $200,000 in the federal funds, not to exceed 80 percent of the total project cost.

Trout swim, bugs bite and students write

A few years ago, I received a photograph of a Long Island angler who took a pair of salters from a small estuary stream on Long Island Sound. One was a rainbow and the other a brook trout.

Both fish weighed well over five pounds, and at the time, the brookie would have easily topped the record book. However, the angler ate his catch before it could be officially weighed.

Is there a possibility that a seven pounder is out there lurking in a backwoods stillwater? Way back in 1911, Field & Stream magazine listed a 6 lb. 11 ox. New York brook trout in the publication’s annual listing of state-by-state records. Supposedly, the fish was taken by Henry Christian from Sand Pond in the Catskill Mountain headwaters of the Willowemoc River.

ater levels continue to rise all across the North Country, and fortunately so do the trout, especially on many of the smaller brooks and streams which tend to flush faster and return to normal levels more rapidly than the larger rivers.

I’ve spent a fair bit of time in recent days, working the smaller tributaries in pursuit of wild brookies and rainbows. It never ceases to amaze me how far up into the headwaters trout can be found.

I’ve also had success working the lower, slower moving valley waters, where beaver activity has created larger pools and the trout remain as thick as the blackflies.

Fortunately, relief arrived last weekend when a major hatch of dragon flies brought some vicious thunder to the black clouds of flies.

It appears this has been a particularly good year for big fish, as evidenced by the most recent state record brookie which cracked the 6 pound barrier.

Many brook trout anglers wonder if there will ever be a record fish to top the old historical mark of 8 lb., 8 oz. taken by William Keener from Punchbowl Pond in Sullivan County, way back in 1908.

That fish stood atop the record books for nearly a century, before the official NYS records were expunged in 2003 due to the lack of sufficient biological and photographic evidence.

It is not likely there will ever be a freshwater brook trout to top the 14 pounder that Daniel Webster supposedly caught on Long Island’s Carman River back in the 1880’s.

However there is recent evidence that the population of ‘salters’, as sea run brookies are known, is on the rise.

The Outdoor Writers Association of America recently voted to allow students from both college and high school level writers into the organization’s membership for the first time.

Many believe the decision will permit a wider range of upand-coming communicators to join OWAA in the student membership category, while expanding an opportunity that was previously available only to higher-education students.

Student membership in OWAA will be available for only $10 per year, and it will offer members full access to OWAA’s resources for connecting with fellow communicators, improving professional skills as well as expanding publishing opportunities to sell their work.

OWAA student members will also be eligible for full scholarships that include registration expenses and all meals while attending OWAA’s annual conferences, throughout the 3-day event.

According to OWAA membership and conference services coordinator, Jessica Pollett, ”As part of our mission to be mentors for the next generation of professional outdoor communicators, we felt it was only natural to extend our range of services to high school students as well. This is already a group we support through other programs such as our Norm Strung Youth Writing Awards, but we wanted to expand benefits available to these promising young communicators.”

All OWAA members receive the bimonthly trade magazine Outdoors Unlimited, as well as press credentials, access to membership lists and media contacts for outdoor groups, agencies and businesses, plus access to media-only discounts.

The OWAA will host a joint convention with the NYS Outdoor Writers Association in Lake Placid this coming September. For more information please visit http://owaa.org/2013conference/ registration/scholarships/ Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

In July of 1915, Dr. CW Cook caught the 14.5 pound World Record brook trout from the Nipigon River in Ontario, Canada. The river is a tributary of Lake Superior. The big fish was considered a ‘coaster’, a particularly large species of brook trout that is spawned in the rivers and spends its life feeding itnthe large lakes.

Similarly, ‘salters’ are brook trout, browns and rainbows that spawn in freshwater tidal estuaries but return to a saltwater environment for most of their lives.

Salters are known to exist on many of Long Island’s estuary streams, as well as the streams and rivers of the New England states.

The brook trout (L) and rainbow trout (R) pictured were taken on a Long Island stream in 2008. The brook trout measured 25 inches in length, and weighed an estimated 7 lbs. It would have easily claimed the NYS Brook Trout Record. However the angler never submitted it for consideration because he ate it!
