RAY BROOK Ñ State police have begun piecing together the events that led to ThursdayÕ s fatal chase and collision.

Trevor J. Sisto, 20, of Fort Covington allegedly led police on a chase through Lake Placid before killing two people and seriously injuring another in Ray Brook. Ò During the entire circumstances, I think itÕ s clear that Mr. Sisto was in complete disregard for the safety of the public,Ó Troop B Commander Richard Smith told reporters at a press briefing on Friday, July 25.

According to Smith, Sisto had signs of being impaired by marijuana. Ò Our investigation is continuing,Ó Smith said. Ò There has been some information shared with us relative to him making general suicidal ideations in the not too distant past that may have contributed to the mindset that went into this

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Ò On a small house, on the shores on Cranberry Lake, a recluse left $2 million to support his community,Ó Adirondack Foundation Executive Director Cali Brooks told lawmakers at the Essex County Board of Supervisors on Monday, July 28.

That got their attention.

The Lake Placid-based nonprofit wants county officials to know that theyÕ ve got a pot of money Ñ access to grant funding, actually Ñ that is theirs for the takingÉ if they apply for it.

The Adirondack Foundation aims to connect donors to effective organizations, said Brooks, who appeared with Communications Director Chris Morris on the heels of an economic impact study that stressed the benefits of the some 500 non-profits in the region: 1.6 million served, $84 million in payroll, a tenth of the workforce and 100,000 hours of volunteer time sunk into community improvement.

Morris noted volunteerism and civic engagement is helping attract thirty-somethings back to the aging North Country. Ò Young people are moving back and are taking jobs they enjoy,Ó he said. Ò Or theyÕ re people like me who grew up here and want to stay here after finding meaningful work.”

Brooks encouraged organizations across the region to visit their website to scope out a pair of opportunities that would link municipalities to donors.

The first, a self-described “small-and-significant” grant will kick anywhere from between $500 to $1500 to projects like literacy classes, community space improvements and supplementing food pantries and fuel assistance programs.

The other, which has a Sept.

their kids grow up there,Ó he said. Ò There was a very close bond between everyone there that has lasted a lifetime. If there has been one spin-off from the writing of this book, it has been the re-connecting that has gone on. Everyone I talked to asked how someone else they knew was doing.Ó Along with recounting the history of the former mining town, the book serves as a way to give back to the past members of the Tahawus community. Ò This was eight months of working from daylight to dark,Ó Gereau said. Ò I wanted to do this to give back to the community because it had given so much to me. Part of the proceeds will also go toward a Tahawus Legacy Education Fund for any family that grew up there. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren would be eligible.Ó Along with book proceeds, Gereau is also looking to secure funding from National Lead as well as some of the former residents through private donations.

The book, which retails for $20, is available at High Peaks Kitchen and Campground, the Newcomb Historical Society and Newcomb Town Hall in Newcomb; the Crossroads Country Store in Chestertown; Bessboro Shop in Westport; Dogwood Bread Company in Wadhams; The Bookstore Plus in Lake Placid; the Adirondack History Center Museum in Elizabethtown; Adirondack Buffalo Company in North Hudson; and Incapahco Artisans in Long Lake. Ò It was great because we got the book back on July 1 and in the first two days we had sold 250 copies,Ó Gereau said. Ò I will be taking it to this yearÕ s

Book looks at the two-plus decades of Tahawus keith@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — Leonard Gereau first entered the town of Tahawus in 1943 as an eight year old, spending his formative years in the mining town. Ò It was a real isolated community and the only way you lived in the town was if you were employed by the company (National Lead Co.),Ó Gereau said. Ò My dad worked in the titanium mines, first as a carpenter but then moved quickly through the ranks and became a crusher foreman.Ó Like many small Adirondack mining towns, the people came together for everything. Also like many of those towns, it vanished from the map (in 1963), but not from the memories of those who lived there.

Gereau, now 79, has collected those memories as well as photographs from over 100 former residents of the town to help create Ò Tahawus Memories 1941-1963,Ó telling the story of the unique Adirondack community which existed for only 22 years.

The 312-page book contains over 500 photographs to go along with the tales from former residents and news accounts.

Gereau said the desire to write the book came from a discussion last year. Ò I was at Newcomb Day last August and ran across several folks I grew up with,Ó he said. Ò We got to talking and the idea of sharing these stories about the town began. I found over 200 people from all over the country - California, Arizona, Texas, a lot in Ohio and a lot in Florida - and encouraged them to find old photographs and send me their old stories. We received 115 responses back. Without the help of the people who responded, this would not have been possible.Ó Research was also done by reading over 200 editions of the Cloud Splitter magazine and accounts from area newspapers. Ò ItÕ s amazing that a small town like this had its own magazine that has become quite the historical record,Ó he said. Ò There were things that I found and never even knew, like the original name of the town was supposed to be Elijah, after the Native American who discovered the ore there.Ó Tahawus was born out of necessity for natural resources in 1941, when the United States entered World War II. Ò In terms of the village, it was around for a 22-year period of unbelievable turmoil,Ó Gereau said. Ò You had World War II, Korean War, the beginnings of Viet Nam, the Civil Rights movement and the assassination of Kennedy that all took place in the lifetime of Tahawus. If it were not for World War II, that place would never have existed.Ó Among shared memories Gereau found through his research, many remembered the creation of the YMCA in 1947, which he said became the backbone of the village. Many also recounted the Teddy Roosevelt Pageant in 1951, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the former president taking the oath of office, where 18,000 people showed up in the small village to celebrate.

Many also shared a sense of loss for the community, as well. Ò A lot of people said they wished they had the chance to let

Ride for the River gearing up once again in Wilmington

By Teah Dowling

for children 12 and under with an adult, gold and platinum business sponsors and volunteers who help with a registration table, the picnic or by driving a vehicle along with the rout to support riders and who have signed up in advance to help.

teah@denpubs.com WILMINGTON Ñ The 3rd Annual Ride for the River will be based at the Hungry Trout Resort on Sunday, Aug. 3.

The family-friendly event will feature three route options for all ages and skill levels followed by a picnic and live music from noon to 2 p.m. and a raffle at 1 p.m.

This event started in order Ò to celebrate the resilience of the communities along the Ausable River in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene and to raise funds for the work the Ausable River Association is doing to restore sections of the river that were damaged during the flooding,” said Brendan Wiltse, stewardship and outreach coordinator for the Ausable River Association (AsRA). Ô RIVER TRAILSÕ The trails all start and end at the Hungry Trout Resort in Wilmington, which consist of Ausable Eddy, Two Branches and Wilmington Loop, all scenic routes along the Ausable River designed by LeepOff Cycles.

Crossing Route 86 on to Fox Farm Route, Ausable Eddy will go onto Haselton Road through Wilmington and past the AsRA office into Black Brook. At this point, the trail loops up toward Taylor Pond before heading back into Au Sable Forks. From there, the route crosses the river and briefly follows the main branch downstream before the East Branch. Eventually, the trail will cross the East Branch in Jay before heading up Route 86 toward Hardy Road. Hardy Road will go past the trailhead for the mountain trails before heading back to the Hungry Trout Resort.

Two Branches is a shortened route of the Ausable Eddy. Like the Ausable Eddy, it will start off by following the West Branch of the river through Wilmington and into Black Brook. Rather than heading up toward Taylor Pond, it will follow Silver Lake Road east into Au Sable Forks, skipping the loop heading downstream on the main branch of the river. Eventually, the route will pick up the Ausable Eddy route on the back roads through Jay. From here, the two routes are the same along Route 86, Hardy Road, Springfield Road and Fox Farm Road back to the Hungry Trout

2013 Ride for the River participants.

Resort.

The Wilmington Loop, the smallest loop, heads down Springfield Road into Wilmington, continuing onto Haselton Road before taking Bilhuber Road back into Wilmington. From there, the trail will cross Route 86 onto Hardy Road, following it back to Springfield Road and, eventually, Fox Farm Road.

Wiltse recommends a 9 a.m. departure for Ausable Eddy, a 10 a.m. departure for Two Branches and a 11 a.m. departure for Wilmington Loop.

To register for the ride, download and fill out the Rider Registration Form at www.ridefortheriver.org, email the completed form to ride@ausableriver.org or mail to the Ausable River Association, P.O. Box 8, Wilmington, NY 12997 and pay the registration fee either online or by mail at the same address. Registration is from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.

The cost to ride is $45 for adult, $75 for family and $15 for child between the ages of 13 and 17. Ride registration is free of charge

Ô MAJOR PRIZESÕ For the raffle this year, Hornbeck Boats, along with Bruce Berra and the Hungry Trout Fly shop, stepped up to support the ride by making donations to the raffle.

“The raffle prizes are great,” Wiltse said.

Hornbeck Boats and Berra provided a canoe, Werner paddle and life jacket. The Hornbeck Canoe, valued at about $2,000, is a 12Õ Hornbeck New Trick kevlar canoe with a carbon/kevlar top sheet, giving it a dark-green appearance that can be seen in its photograph online. The canoe is ultra-light and was made in the Adirondack Mountains.

“The fly fishing trip that Hungry Trout has thrown in is a great prize as well,Ó Wiltse said. Ò They have the best guides in the area, and the whole staff is super nice and extremely knowledgeable. Ò A day on the river with them will be a great experience for both a novice and experienced fly fisherman.”

The Hungry Trout Fly Shop is also donating to the raffle this year by providing a half-day guided fly fishing trip for two, a runner-up prize for the canoe raffle.

To buy tickets for the raffle, purchase them on www.ridefortheriver.org. It costs $25 for one ticket, $40 for two tickets and $100 for six tickets. Ô ASRA FUNDINGÕ All proceeds of the ride benefit the AsRA’s work to protect and restore the natural resources of the Ausable River for the benefit of both human and natural communities.

The AsRA is a non-profit, community-supported organization that works cooperatively with landowners, municipalities and other organizations and government agencies to protect the wild, scenic and recreational resources of the Ausable Watershed since 1998.

Overtime costs, shift changes A and a missing person

L

eading up to 4th of July weekend the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department led an investigation of a missing boater off the shores of the town of Hague.

Most of the readers in our southern circulation are familiar with the story of William Scott.

For those that may not be, here is the history in brief; Scott, of Westerlo, New York, went missing July 1 when the boat he was riding in with two other men capsized. The initial call for emergency response came in to Warren County Emergency services at approximately 10 a.m.

The Warren County SheriffÕ s Department arrived on scene within 30 minutes of the initial call and spearheaded the search for the missing man. Rescue efforts included a state police helicopter, Lake George Park Commission boats and staff including scuba units from Warren and Saratoga counties. The search went on for four days, and on Friday, July 4 divers recovered ScottÕ s body.

Denton Publications enlisted a staff reporter to cover the search efforts, and, as a result, many questions stemmed from the handling of the initial critical hours of the rescue. By 6 p.m. July 1, the Warren County SheriffÕ s boat patrol left the scene and the search did not resume until 9 a.m. the following morning. Why? With three hours left of daylight in the first 12 hours of a search, would efforts be called off so early? And sunrise the following day was at 5:17 a.m. so why did search efforts not resume until 9 a.m.?

Is it staffing issues? Overtime costs? Were efforts made to ask other departments to assist?

These are the questions we have been asking ourselves since.

In late June, Warren County SheriffÕ s Department announced changes to their boat patrol program. Sheriff Bud York hired seven retired police officers to work part-time for the Sheriff’s office manning boat patrols on the lake and other area smaller tributaries. In an interview with the Glens Falls Post Star, York stated that “this will allow the full-time officers, who served on the boat patrol, to stay on the road cutting overtime costs for the department.Ó In the same interview, York also said Ò this should allow for more complete coverage of the busy lake because the boat patrol officers wonÕ t be juggling road shifts as well. We will have coverage on the lake for all of the firework shows.Ó During the same time period, the town of Ticonderoga Police Department was stripped

of nearly half its force when three officers accepted lateral transfers into the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department.

Staffing for the department doesn’t appear to be an issue.

That leaves overtime costs. In 2012, the department was taken to task by the Warren County Board of Supervisors over overtime costs incurred by officers working events in the region. In the report provided by then SheriffÕ s Maj. C. Shawn Lamouree, $101,000 in overtime costs were a result of officer presence at local events that did not provide reimbursement to the department.

It is our understanding that a majority of the department works 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. shifts.

This would explain the sheriffÕ s prompt departure from the Hague scene at 6 p.m, allowing adequate time to return their boat to its proper location, secure its equipment and clock out for the day right around 7 p.m.

In a search with these parameters, the first day is normally considered to be a rescue attempt, and information provided to the SheriffÕ s Department was that Scott left the vessel with a life preserver. It would be a fair assumption to believe that after eight hours he still may have been alive, especially considering the last visual sighting of the man was of him above water.

It may have been the collective decision of the SheriffÕ s Department to leave the scene vacant in order to save on overtime costs, but other options were certainly at play. In rescue attempts throughout the region, other local emergency personnel have been called in to assist when time limitations of divers, or above waters efforts, were exhausted. Groups such as the state police dive team or water rescue teams from fire departments throughout the region are utilized.

Other options could have included aerial rescue efforts and local fire and rescue units that have active boats on the water including Hague, Bolton, Horicon, etc.

Weeks later, there is certainly no way of knowing if the search had continued past 6 p.m.

July 1 if the outcome would have been different.

Nevertheless, if the possibility exists of finding a living person rather than a body, shouldnÕ t every last effort be exhausted in doing so, regardless of cost? ÑD

Letters to the Editor

Editorial got it right To the Editor: Finally!! Someone gets it right. Your editorial in the July 19 Times of Ti, regarding the defensive use of guns, is to be applauded. When so much of the liberal news media is constantly on the attack regarding gun ownership, you have written a piece that will make all the gun control advocates shake their heads with disgust. You canÕ t reason with them, but thanks for your valiant effort.

Over the last 30 or so years, our country has systematically shut down thousands of institutions for the mentally ill and placed them in mainstream society. The results are and have been predictable. Most of the atrocities committed by people with guns should never have happened because they shouldnÕ t have had access to the guns in the first place. It is time to place the blame squarely where it belongsÉ on the person behind the

weapon that is used illegally. To cite two cases, the Newtown, CT shooting was committed by a clearly mentally disturbed young man whose own mother allowed him access to weapons he should have never been near. The response was, and still is, to blame the so-called assault rifle. Recently, near the University of California in Santa Barbara another disturbed young man stabbed three people to death before going on a shooting rampage that killed three more. Most of the focus from the media was on the shooting deaths and very little was mentioned about the three stabbings.

As a long time member of the NRA, I receive a monthly publication called American Rifleman, which contains a column called Armed Citizen which highlights several episodes of people who were not victims of a crime because they were armed. Virtually none of these stories make national news. Your editorial gives hope to those who believe in our second amendment.

Civil War vet’s gravestone restored

By Sharp Swan

denpubs@denpubs.com WILLSBORO Ñ This past Memorial Day, Private Oakley Smith, a Civil War veteran from Willsboro, had his marble gravestone restored after almost 150 years to the day of being placed in the Gilliland Cemetery by his family.

The stone, which was badly weathered and broken in three pieces, was cleaned and restored to its former beauty by Don and Nancy Miller of MillerÕ s Memorial Stone Cleaning and Repair of Lewis. Funds to pay for the restoration were donated by private individuals from the Adirondack Center History Museum and Essex County Historical Society.

Oakley Smith, a private in the 118th New York Volunteers, the Ò Adirondack Regiment,Ó was born and raised on a farm on Willsboro Point. Though a farm boy, Oakley was well-educated for his time and attended the University of Vermont in Burlington for three years. When Fort Sumter was fired upon in April of 1861 igniting the Civil War, Oakley toyed with the idea of joining the Union armies saying “when our flag of liberty, that glorious old flag, is trailed in the dust and trampled under the feet of traitors, we should be false to the true spirit of our fathers, untrue to ourselves if we should quietly fold our hands and say ‘let others fight our battle for us.’” Only his mother’s persuasion kept him from joining the other soldiers marching south in the spring of 1861.

Yet, on July 3, 1862, after more than a year into the war when President Abraham Lincoln called for 300,000 new recruits to put down the Rebellion, Oakley Smith stepped forward and joined the newly formed 118th New York volunteers with over 1,000 other men from Clinton, Essex and Warren counties.

His motherÕ s worries proved well-founded when the family received a letter nearly two years later in May of 1864 from OakleyÕ s tent mate, E.A. Braman from Wadhams. Ò It is a duty deeply painful and one which I shrink which devolves upon me to relate as nearly as possible the circumstances of the death of Oakley...As Oakley turned to cross over the ditch in front of the earthworks they had been investing, the fatal bullet pierced him and, clasping his hand to the wound, exclaimed Ô Oh my God they’ve shot me’....He fell on the hotly contested field while doing more than his duty and died like a hero.Ó At the Gilliland Cemetery, on a bluff overlooking the Bouquet River in Willsboro village, the Smith family placed a headstone in remembrance of their son, whose body, because it had fallen into the enemyÕ s hands, could not be recovered.

Two months later, the Smith family experienced something like a miracle when in the mail there came a letter from their

Arrest

From page 1 erratic and reckless behavior.Ó Sisto had taken his motherÕ s Ford F-150 truck without her permission the night prior, Smith said. At approximately 1 p.m, he was involved in a hit and run incident in Saranac Lake near the village police department before fleeing the scene.

The Lake Placid Police Department contacted state police around 1:30 p.m. to request assistance with locating the suspect vehicle that was involved in a hit-and-run collision within Lake Placid. This collision caused injury to a Main Street patrol officer who was treated and released, Lake Placid Police Chief Bill Moore said.

According to Lake Placid Police Sergeant Chuck Dobson, Sisto was driving into oncoming traffic and onto sidewalks occupied by pedestrians. At one point, Moore said, an off-duty-officer pulled an off-duty firearm on Sisto when the suspect was stopped in traffic.

Sisto had three underage children in his truck, who he dropped off at McDonalds before heading toward Saranac Lake.

Lake Placid police later released the children to state troopers. Ò There may be some type of relationship between him and at least one of those individuals, but I canÕ t tell you what their motive or reason for coming to Lake Placid was,Ó Smith said.

State police soon located the suspect vehicle traveling westbound on Route 86 at a high rate of speed. The troopers attempted to stop the vehicle. As the suspect vehicle approached the hamlet of Ray Brook, the vehicle entered the eastbound lane of travel and collided head on with the Honda Fit that was traveling east.

Both vehicles then exited the north side of the highway where they came to rest.

Sisto, the sole occupant of the Ford F-150, was immediately taken into custody at gunpoint by troopers at the

son Oakley....he had survived the battle! Ò I was wounded in the action of the 16th near DruryÕ s Bluff and taken prisoner....

Keep up good courage, all will be well, Yours affectionately, OH Smith.Ó Yet, almost at the same moment that the family was reading the letter, Oakley, shot through the body, succumbed to infection and died in a hospital in Richmond, VA. The letter, which had to travel up from Virginia through Confederate lines, had taken almost two months to get to Willsboro. Even though Oakley is actually buried in an unknown grave on the outskirts of Richmond, with heavy hearts, OakleyÕ s parents went back to the Gilliand Cemetery placing a new headstone for their fallen son -- a beautiful, tall marble stone decorated with crossed American flags framing a large shield -- with the following inscription: Oakley H. Smith Wounded Fort DruryÕ s Bluff May 16 Died Richmond, Va. July 8, 1864 Son of Lyman & Emily Smith A member of Co F 118th NY Volunteers As the years passed, OakleyÕ s headstone was weathered by the rain, sun, wind and snow, with the inscriptions on the soft marble face becoming less and less distinct. And, after vandals broke the stone, it laid on the ground in three pieces, face-up and totally exposed to the elements.

For friends and historians of the Adirondack Regiment, who have followed the men through their trials in the Civil War, seeing OakleyÕ s stone shattered on the ground was something that needed to be reconciled. With the financial support of the Adirondack Center History Museum in Elizabethtown, funds were raised to have the monument cleaned and restored. Don Miller of MillerÕ s Memorial Stone Cleaning and Repair of Lewis agreed to do the restoration work, using modern epoxy resins and metal pins to meld the stone back together and a natural non-corrosive cleaning solution to bring out the original color and make the inscription more legible. Mr. Miller graciously donated some of his time to the project, completing the restoration and re-setting the stone in the Gilliland Cemetery just in time for Memorial Day. Plans are being made to clean, restore and preserve more gravestones that mark the final resting places of the men who served in the 118th Ò Adirondack Regiment.Ó

scene, Smith said.

The three occupants of the Honda were trapped and had to be extricated by Lake Placid and Saranac Lake Fire and Rescue personnel.

The operator of the Honda, 42-year-old James E. Barney of Potsdam, was pronounced dead at the scene by Essex County Coroner Francis Whitelaw. The front seat passenger, identified as 38-year-old Kim Barney of Potsdam, was transported to Adirondack Medical Center and later airlifted to Fletcher Allen Medical Center in Burlington, Vt., where she subsequently succumbed to her injuries.

The rear seat passenger, Emily Colby, 11-years-old of Potsdam, was air-lifted from the scene to Fletcher Allen where she is currently undergoing surgery for multiple injuries and is listed in critical condition.

The state trooper pursuit lasted approximately one minute and eight seconds in total, Smith said, and the pursuing trooper was never closer than 150 yards behind Sisto, who was traveling at 80 miles per hour. Ò IÕ m completely comfortable with what occurred,Ó Smith said, in regard to the state policeÕ s actions during the brief chase, adding that it was overseen by two supervisory personnel. Ò Had that pursuit continued, without that accident, itÕ s very likely that a state police supervisor may have discontinued that pursuit, based on weighing the risk to the public versus the risk of not apprehending that individual.Ó He was charged with Unlawfully Fleeing a Police Officer 1st Degree, a D Felony, and Driving While Ability Impaired by Drugs. Sisto was further ticketed for Reckless Driving, Failure to Keep Right and Speeding.

Lake Placid Police also charged Sisto with Attempted Assault 1st Degree, Reckless Endangerment, three counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child, Leaving the Scene of a Personal Injury Motor Vehicle Accident and Reckless Driving, as well as numerous vehicle and traffic violations.

Sisto was arraigned at the Village of Lake Placid Court and at the Town of North Elba Court. He was remanded to Essex County Jail in lieu of $100,000 cash bail, or $200,000 bond, and was scheduled to reappear July 29 at 4 p.m.

Adirondack Foundation From page 1

15 deadline, focuses on collaborative efforts between non-profits and governments.

One example could be a collaboration to bring together environmental groups to coordinate outreach and messaging, said Morris. ÒI tÕ s a very simple online application progress,Ó s aid Brooks.

Those grants range from $5,000 to $10,000. ÒW e want to have strong relationships with you,Ó s aid Brooks. $5, $10, $15 DONATIONS The pair also boosted their crowdsourcing platform, adirondackgives. com.

That’s like a kickstarter for local governments, schools and non-profits.

She encouraged lawmakers to spread the word that anyone could put a project up and solicit small donations of $5, $10 and $15 donations, like a virtual donation jar.

Adirondack Foundation has helped raised $40,000 through 45 campaigns. ÒI tÕ s easy, effective and ensures anyone who loves the Adirondacks can give philanthropically,Ó s aid Brooks.

The reps noted Òq uietÓ efforts undertaken in Jay following Hurricane Irene in Aug. 2011.

Board Chair Randy Douglas, who also serves as the Jay Supervisor, said the state comptroller tied their hands in how the town could collect donations.

Under state law, it was permissible for the town to take in donations, but could only use those funds for town projects, not redistribute them to individuals. The Adirondack Foundation allowed those funds to be channeled through a town distribution committee to unmet needs Ñ like furnace repairs, for instance Ñ t hrough a short application process. ÒW ith your good help, they came through it went smoothly,Ó said Douglas. ÒT hank you from the bottom of my heart.Ó Vice Chair Bill Ferebee agreed. ÒT hey assisted folks in Keene with monetary donations for items they needed quickly,Ó h e said.

“We want to be more than a back office,” said Brooks. “We want to be a partner.Ó

Back on track A

fter a few months of skipping out on providing my regular weekly columns, I am finally back on track. I wasn’t goofing off, as most would expect of me, I was attending to family matters.

I appreciate all of the cards, letters and emails from old friends, new friends and other friends of my brotherÕ s who took the time to write, call and email to share their stories of his adventures with me.

Following his recent passing, IÕ ve been spending a majority of my time in the woods and on the waters, where fish have been biting as regularly as the deer flies and the punkies that seem to constantly orbit my noggin.

The local woods and waters are certainly a therapeutic environment. I guess it is because itÕ s easy to forget your troubles when there is so much activity constantly going on all around you.

ThereÕ s nothing more reassuring than watching a stunning sunset, as it dresses up the mountainside with a warm alpen-glow, to confirm there is something much grander when we finally go off to the great beyond. IÕ ve heard it described as GodÕ s Country IÕ ve often noticed it, but I guess I appreciate it more now than ever, Ò Up in the mountains, so still it make you scared; where God lies waiting in his great white beard.Ó Orson Ò Old MountainÓ Phelps, a legendary Adirondack guide who hailed from Keene Valley explained the unique spiritual presence of the mountains when he explained the local scenery to Charles Dudley Warner, Ò It seems as if, .. as if the Creator had kept something just to look at himself.Ó

www.valleynewsadk.com Although I know IÕ ll never see my brother tromping through the local woods again; they will always look the same as they were when he was with us, and thatÕ s familiar enough for me.

The new Old Invasives

Although I have not be able to obtain any firm scientific evidence to confirm the fact, it appears there are two old invasives on the rise in the North Woods.

In addition to such new pests as ticks, knotweed, and the potential for Spiny Water Fleas; two old menaces are currently on the rise.

I know, I have found them in my own home regularly this summer and obviously so have many others.

What is a summer without ants? I donÕ t mind when they come to my picnic, but I draw the line when they so up at my dinner table. They seem to be everywhere except in the woods.

And how about all those mice? I canÕ t speak for homeowners in the Champlain Valley region, but it appears the Ò metal munching, mountain miceÓ are back in our area again. TheyÕ ve been out in force, inside. Maybe it’s just all the rain that has florced they to seek a drier environment.

Many homeowners tell me theyÕ ve never experienced such an unprecedented outbreak. IÕ ve never such a break-in!

I expect to have to deal with mice in camp, especially in an old hunting camp and occasionally, a mouse in the house when the weather turns cold.

However in recent weekÕ s, IÕ ve had to establish an extensive trap line, and I make my rounds daily.

I really donÕ t have time to deal with any potential new invasive species, since IÕ m currently busy struggling with the old ones.

Summer Season segues to Hunting Season

Every year, as Autumn rolls around, I listen to a host of complaints from hunters new and old, regarding the availability of Hunter Safety Courses.

Of course, the lack of courses is not really the problem. More often, it is a lack of attention, and Ô putting it offÕ until later.

So the potential hunters donÕ t get around to taking a class until the season arrives, and then they complain about the high cost of a new license. Same old, same old, but this year IÕ m not going to

August 2, 2014 listen.
