shaun@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH „ Gov. Andrew Cuomo visited Plattsburgh State University College on Thursday, May 30 to tout his new ñ Tax-Free NYî program.

The stop was part of a statewide tour to promote the plan, which Cuomo hopes will be signed into law before the stateÍ s legislative session ends in three weeks.

If enacted, the program would create a 10-year, tax-free zone on and around SUNY campuses in Upstate New York for new businesses and their employees. ñ Tax-free means just that,î Cuomo said. ñ No business taxes, no sales tax, no property tax, no franchise fees and no income tax.î CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Planners starting to organize Etown Day

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com

Kiwanian Margaret Bartley delivers a check for $1,000 to Community Food Shelf Director Marilyn Jordan and the volunteers, who help make the Food Shelf a success.

Kiwanis celebrate 75 years in Etown ELIZABETHTOWN „ Elizabethtown Kiwanis is 75 years old.

On Aug. 4, 1938, a group of Elizabethtown residents met at the Deer’s Head Inn and held their first official Kiwanis meeting. 75 years later the group still meets on Wednesday mornings at the DeerÍ s Head to have breakfast and make plans for their annual events such as their Scholarship Breakfast which this year will be held on Sunday, June 9, from 9 a.m. until noon at the DeerÍ s Head. The March Breakfast raised $1,000, which went to support the Community Food Shelf. Also, back by popular demand is the annual Kiwanis Golf Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 10 at the Cobble Hill Golf Course. And of course the always-popular Kiwanis Bacon Burger will again be served at the Essex County Fair.

ELIZABETHTOWN „ The annual celebration of all things Elizabethtown is set for Saturday, July 20.

The annual Etown Day, put on annually by the Elizabethtown Volunteer Fire Department, will feature several familiar attractions, highlighted by the annual parade at 3 p.m. and a fireworks display that evening.

There will also be games and entertainment throughout the day at the Cobble Hill Golf Course, which will be the base for a 50-50 raffle, face painting, food and more.

estport Central School Class of 2016 invites you to Willsboro Bowling Center this Saturday at 3 p.m. for 9 Pin Bowling to benefit the Christopher Emmet Hallowell Fund. In addition to the bowling, there will also be raffles and baked goods on sale.

So put together a team of four and see if youÍ ve got the chops to come out on top!

Christopher loved Westport. After his death in 2002 of complications arising from his earlier childhood illness, his family and friends established the fund to honor his memory.

The fund’s mission is to offer financial help to North Country families for incidental and unexpected expenses incurred while caring for a child with a severe illness. If you are from Westport or a neighboring community, chances are good you know a family the fund has helped. (The CEH Fund also puts on the Ice Cream Social and Magic Show during WestportÍ s annual July Fourth celebration.)

Thank you, Class of 2016 and Coach Rascoe, for holding this fundraiser to aid a great cause.

he spring barn dance at Black Kettle Farm will be this Saturday evening starting at 5:30 p.m. with the traditional chili dinner, which is still only $5. The band starts to play at 6:30 p.m. just for kids to dance, and at 7 p.m. the floor opens to all. There will also be a silent auction, all in benefit of Lakeside School. A donation of $10 is suggested.

Black Kettle is at the corner of Cook and Leaning Roads, just up the hill from Whallonsburg.

In downtown Essex, the former Rudder Club restaurant is opening this week as Chez Lin and Rays, and itÍ s rumored the deli just up from the marina will be opening soon.

needed to complete the storm drain project.

On the vegetable farm, IÍ ve been cultivating the newly emerged plantings. This is an organic farm and no herbicides, convenient though they may be, are ever used. Organic growers can control weeds with mulch, cultivation, or the costliest, hand weeding. The small plants IÍ m working on now demand careful attention, requiring a slower than crawling pace with the tractor to keep the tiller from throwing soil and smothering the young plants.

This is tedious work, and no day dreaming is allowed. However, with the diesel engine providing a background hum and a little warm sunshine, itÍ s easy to lose oneÍ s focus and start thinking about, say, lunch. As your mind wanders, so does the tractor, and your pleasant reverie ends with a start when you realize youÍ re slaying carrots and not weeds.

ESSEX „ The Essex Theatre Company is holding auditions for Gina GionfriddoÍ s comedy of bad manners, ñ Becky Shaw.î There are six characters: late-20 or 30-something Suzanna; her best friend Max; SuzannaÍ s new husband; his co-worker Becky Shaw; SuzannaÍ s mother Susan; and SusanÍ s much younger boy friend.

une is graduation month for many of our family members and friends. It is also a very special month for our feline friends who have been residents of the shelter for 6 months or longer. We are running a ñ June Honor Rollî adoption special for our cats who have ñ graduatedî and are ready for the big world of finding their forever home!

The adoption fee for these special cats will be reduced by 50 percent for the entire month of June. ItÍ s a purr-fectly wonderful time to add a new, furry bundle of joy to your household.

Stop by the NCPSCA today to find out which cats are available for this adoption special.

Our featured pet this week is Bozley, a Hemingway Polydactyl, Domestic Shorthairmix cat. A caring member of our pet-loving community has sponsored him for only $10 to adopt, including toys, a comfy bed, and treats to go with him to his new home. This poor guy was confused and lost when his family moved away and forgot to take him with them. When he first arrived at the shelter, he was scared of the strange environment, but weÍ ve since learned that his heart is as huge as his feet! Bozley gets along well with other cats and canÍ t seem to get enough attention.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain

HIALEAH, FL — An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs, is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula.

According to a national drug store survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers.

But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back to the market under the trade name ARTH ARREST and says it can relieve pain for millions.

ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, the ARTH ARREST formula is useful in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, tendonitis, and more. For more information go to www.artharrest.com.

ARTH ARREST is available in a convenient roll-on applicator at pharmacies without a prescription or call 1-800-339-3301.

WADHAMS „ ItÍ s the Wadhams Volunteer Fire DepartmentÍ s version of a duck dynasty.

For the third year, the department will be holding its Duck Derby during the Strawberry Festival in Wadhams on Father Í s Day, Sunday, June 16.

This year, the department will again increase the number of rubber ducks being launched into the waters of the Boquet River, having started with 300 ducks, then increasing to 400 last year and having up to 500 ready for racing this year. ñ Ducks are on sale for $5 from any fire department member, or at the dogwood bakery,î Sheera Broderick said. ñ Typically, most are sold by the day of the race, so it might be a good idea to get them in advance.î The previous two races have started with the ducks being dropped from the Route 22 Bridge in Wadhams.

This year, with the bridge being replaced, the site of the race has moved to the Fanny Swan Bridge, located at the intersection of the Halds, Merriam Forge, Sherman and Morrison roads, near the Coon Mountain trailhead.

The ducks, which will each be numbered, will then make their way down the river to a finish line, where the first duck to cross will earn its

owner $250. The owner of the second place duck will fetch $100, while a $50 prize will go to the third duck to cross the line. ñ There are also many other prizes donated by local businesses and artists,î Broderick said.

The ducks will be released at 3 p.m. on June 16, with all

Valley News Editorial

It’s June, and it’s itchy

U

pstate New YorkÍ s left hand has been itching for generations „ jobs pouring out of the state, leaving the economy a bust. Gov. Andrew Cuomo hopes to reverse that trend with his Tax-Free NY program „ switching the itch from the left to right hand, thus revitalizing the upstate economy by creating new jobs.

Will it work? ItÍ s worth a shot. But the governor should be honest about the implications to reduced tax revenues. He says there wonÍ t be any, but weÍ re not sure about that.

So the governorÍ s got this itch. He wants to develop tax-free business zones in upstate communities „ mainly around SUNY campuses.

After all, 93 percent of New Yorkers live within 15 miles of a SUNY Campus, 97 percent within 20 miles. ñ If you took the North Country out ... that number would change dramatically,î Cuomo said during his May 29 Tax-Free NY announcement in Albany.

ThatÍ s great news for creating jobs in Plattsburgh (SUNY Plattsburgh and Clinton Community College), Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga (North Country Community College).

For many of our readers, however, it does nothing. WeÍ re not most New Yorkers. WeÍ re the 3 percent. Large expanses of the Adirondack Park contain communities more than 20 miles from a SUNY campus.

With blackflies vastly outnumbering residents here in the sticks, the governor should also develop an economic development program for the 3 percent. Something more than buying private land, adding it to the state Forest Preserve and promising economic development in the wake of these multi-million-dollar land deals. Tourists who visit the wild lands „ mostly pork Í nÍ beaners who stay in tents and bring their own food „ have little impact on the local economy. They may buy bug dope at HossÍ s Country Corner in Long Lake, but thatÍ s not job creation.

Luckily, the governor has made inroads in the Adirondack Park. He genuinely likes it here. HeÍ s setting up the Adirondack Challenge event in Indian Lake in July, promoting the Adirondack Park through I Love New York. WeÍ re wholeheartedly behind this event and thank him for his support and attention. But thatÍ s still not job creation.

When the governor made his Tax-Free NY announcement, he said, ñ You canÍ t do more than this,î meaning the state canÍ t do more than

freeing businesses from all state taxes for a limited amount of time „ 10 years for sales, property, and business/corporate taxes. “You can’t go lower than zero.î And employees would be exempt from paying income taxes for five years.

The goal is to set up tax-free communities that promote entrepreneurship and job creation. But we donÍ t like the time limit for the tax exemption. What happens after 10 years?

Do the businesses close shop or simply move to a state thatÍ s tax-friendly more than 10 years?

And while the stateÍ s budget director says there is ñ no costî to the state, meaning there is no out-of-pocket expense, there is most definitely a cost when you donÍ t collect taxes.

WeÍ ve already seen what happens when revenue falls short of expectations. After the countryÍ s economic collapse and federal bailout of Wall Street firms in 2008, many financial institutions were paying a lot less in state taxes. And that reduction in tax revenue led to a budget deficit reaching $15 billion for the state.

WeÍ re not saying these tax-free zones will result in a $15 billion budget shortfall, but there will most likely be some reduction.

When thereÍ s a reduction in sales tax, government agencies that reap the benefit of those taxes need to make up for the shortfall: the state, counties and towns in some instances.

What happens when businesses donÍ t pay property taxes? It means higher taxes for the other property owners. ShouldnÍ t the state be generating economic development that adds businesses to the tax rolls instead of taking them off? ThatÍ s why thereÍ s a stigma for having taxexempt properties in town ... no revenue. In this tax-cap era, this could make balancing budgets even harder for some communities and school districts. Many are already cutting jobs.

Details, such as eligibility requirements, still need to be worked out for Tax-Free NY. How will the state measure the 1-mile radius around SUNY campuses? As the crow flies?

So what does the State Legislature do with this ñ game changer,î as Cuomo calls it? ñ It can only be good,î he said. WeÍ re not totally convinced yet, but we donÍ t have any better ideas.

WeÍ re asking our state legislators to ask the governor tough questions and get some honest answers before casting their votes on this program. DonÍ t get caught up in the hype and the promise of new jobs. There is a cost here. And please talk to your constituents before scratching Andrew CuomoÍ s latest itch. „ Denton Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Attend public hearings To the Valley News: Several Keeseville Village Residents are circulating a petition to vote on the Village Plan. We have heard from many that another vote would happen when the plan was presented the public. An additional vote will only occur if village residents request so by petition. The village board is now working on the plan and will be holding public hearings.

It is in our best interest to attend these public hearings to make the best decision for our future. The first public hearing will be held on June 11, at 5:30 p.m. at the Village offices.

I did research on villages that have dissolved and found to my surprise, that services were lost and taxes increased after the second year of dissolution.

The town that inherited the village said they did not see clearly what was facing them and increased all levels of town government in some way. Since 2010 research showed 16 village went for dissolution out of these 16 only three did dissolve with 13 NOT dis-

Strawberry festival scheduled

WADHAMS „ The Wadhams Strawberry Festival will take place FatherÍ s Day, June 16, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Wadhams United Church of Christ.

Events include a yard sale and baked goods sale, strawberry shortcake sale and drawings for paintings, pottery and a braided rub. Vendors are welcome. For more information, call 962-4488 or email uccwadhams@yahoo.com.

Movie nights in Keeseville

KEESEVILLE „ Keeseville ElkÍ s Lodge No. 2072 will again host Outdoor Family Movie Night on the first and third Friday for the months of June, July and August starting Friday, June 7, at dusk with the mov-

solving. What does this tell us? Dissolution is not always the best way to solve our concerns.

Contrary to what some may want us to think, not all committee members are in favor of the plan, nor are they in favor of dissolution at this time. Committee members have signed the petition to request a second vote. Town board members have signed the petition. If members of the committee and town board member feel uncertain it makes me wonder about the study/plan.

Good news To the Valley News: Good news for those who wish to take responsibility for their safety into their own hands. On Friday, May 24, radio station 810 reported that the NYS SheriffÍ s Association was joining in a lawsuit against the Safe Act. Most sincere thanks to those sheriffs who pushed for this.

Also the same station reported that the Colorado SheriffÍ s Association was suing Colorado for their equivalent to NYS Safe Act gun law. Their association also stated they would not enforce the new gun laws. It is also reported that a strong movement is underway to recall, with by-partisan support, those who supported the Colorado law. Many chiefs of police are in support of the people and the sheriffÍ s association suit, but are not outspoken because they are appointed, not elected, and fear the loss of their jobs.

The officers on the street that I’ve spoken to are also against the Safe Act. Recently one citizen was arrested for having nine rounds instead of seven in his clip. The DA reportedly opted not to prosecute. The reason was not stated. I hope reason was why he or she reached that decision.

May God bless you all, and God bless our sheriffs.

Continued from page 1 The proposal would allow employees in the taxfree zones to avoid state income tax for five years, or up to 10 years for certain income eligible individuals.

Eligible tax-free zones would include up to 200,000 square feet adjoining each campus.

Cuomo added there are 64 SUNY schools in New York State, 55 of which are located upstate, and said 97 percent of the state is within 20 miles of a SUNY campus.

SUNY campuses do not pay property taxes, but private landowners located in Tax-Free NY zones would still pay property taxes.

his past Sunday my daughter graduated from the University of Vermont. It was a day, both sweet and mildly bitter.

For her, the day seemed a little anticlimactic as she was obviously thinking about graduate school and

By Scot Hurlburt moving on. She will attend NYU in the fall and is chomping at the bit to get there.

Still, graduation from college is a moment in time for summing up what has been accomplished so far.

It is also a time for looking back and for most parents, a time to marvel at how quickly their son or daughter went from diapers to knocking on the door of graduate school.

It does not seem that long ago that I was rocking her at night and driving her to school and planning our weekends. My house once filled with the pitchy sounds of girls, now quiet except for the occasional groans of my aging Golden Retriever. I knew that this day would come, as a family we have all worked together for this day and now it is here and it is history. I suspect that my wife and I will linger a bit to savor the journey so far as I suspect many parents will do at this time.

I guess milestones like these remind us just how precious and finite our time with our children is. My daughter is not looking backward as I am and I know that this is what I want for her. Would I want her longing for her childhood with mom and dad into her mid-twenties, of course not? Nor do I want her letting her parents influence her decisions very much anymore because I know that she can never be really happy until she is fully capable of making her own decisions and taking care of herself.

I suppose that every parent wants to know that they have done a good enough job raising their children and that as parents we are unselfish enough to release our children to their own destinies. Only then can they pursue their interests, their passions with whatever talents and energies they see fit to invest in these pursuits.

Graduation reminds us that parenthood is an experience that provokes emotions in us that are often unexpected and sometimes not easily explained. I guess I always wanted to be one of those really cool parents who eventually became best friends with their children.

Alas, I have fallen far short of being a cool parent in fact; I have been the polar opposite of that parent.

I have recently concluded that only parents with remote relationships can become best friends with their children. Most parents have far too much emotionally meaningful history with their children to be best friends. I suppose I will continue to offer unsolicited advice to my daughter about what she should be doing, wearing, listening to and where she should be living. I do this knowing that we have done a good enough job as parents for her to listen to me but to then make her own decisions about her life, after all isnÍ t that a graduation day of sorts as well.

So while I and other parents opine that the time passes too quickly I know that all the graduates will be listening but looking ahead to the next milestone and next graduation along the way.

Congratulations to all the graduates who will cross the stage to receive their diplomas this year and congratulations to all the parents, families and friends who helped to make their graduation a reality.

Remember, all kids count.

Bike Fest returns to Whiteface Mtn. Father’s Day weekend katherine@denpubs.com WILMINGTON — The fourth annual Bike Fest calls to cyclists to put the pedal to the mountain and enjoy a weekend of family fun and activities at Whiteface Mountain. The Wilmington Whiteface Bike Fest will begin on June 14 through June 16 for a weekend with a mix of uphill, downhill, road bike, mountain bike, serious competition and include an array of family fun activities and demonstrations to bring everyone to their pedals.

The event was born after the success of another Whiteface bike program, the Uphill Race. Michelle Burns, Operations Manager for Whiteface Visitors Bureau, said they wanted to broaden the event to be more inclusive to not just athletes from outside the area but as a way to invite locals to enjoy the festivities.

“We started small with the first event and we just kept adding to it as more and more people have come to be a part of it. This event is showing people that Wilmington is the biking capital of the Adirondacks,” said Burns. “We want the locals to come out see we have a lot for everyone to enjoy from small kids to the avid biker.”

The weekend will begin with Jump Jams with stunts, jumps and tricks at the Wilmington Bike Park on Park Road, where there will be professional stunt performances by Elias Ingram and other pro pump track riders, Taylor WrightSanson will perform unicycle theatrics on the dirt course, and Sam Perkins will show off his mastery in bike acrobatics.

“We want to show off some of our local talent and show kids how to have fun in their own backyards with their bikes riding around in the dirt,” said Burns. “It should be a really fun time for everyone to see it.”

After the Jump Jams, the party moves to the Cloud Spin Lounge at the Whiteface Ski Centerwhere the festivities continue with the third annual welcome party that will include giveaways, live music with a DJ and the infamous “Best Calves of Wilmington Contest.”

“Everyone in the room will be checked out for the contest. We have the most fun at that event and we give out an award for the party member with the best calves,” said Burns.

The winner of the contest will have their name memorialized on a one of a kind trophy. The tro-

phy, made by Bike Fest committee member Bob Hockert pays homage to the movie a Christmas Story with a mannequin leg dressed in stockings under a lamp shade with a base made out of bike gears.

“I don’t know what you would call it, its a really fun thing to see and I guess we can call it a trophy,” said Burns.

On Saturday, June 15, the 12th Annual Whiteface Mountain Uphill Bike Race will begin at 8 a.m. This road race up the Whiteface Moun-

tain Veterans Memorial Highway is part of the BUMPS (Bike Up the Mountain Point) series.

The series comprises of ten races on mountains of the Northeast, on courses of varying lengths and pitches.

New this year will be a two-day open market Vendor Village on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the base of Whiteface Mountain.

The vender village will be open to the public at no admission cost.

An Air Bag Free Fall, which is set up at White

Face for athletes to improve freestyle and freeride skills by jumping to the air bag will be available for the visiting public to purchase passes for. The gondola will also be running for visitors to purchase boarding passes to ride to the top of the mountain.

Races for Saturday will include the country races and group rides, poor man’s downhill, riders will be picked up by shuttle and driven to the trial that will lead riders down to the Wilmington Town Beach where a party awaits.

“This event is no longer just about the bike races but has grown to be something more,” said Burns. “It’s really a place for everyone to come and enjoy, see athletes perform, walk around our vendor village to see some of our great local businesses and services and really for everyone to have fun.”

Guests can wind down with a Beach Party starting at 5 p.m. with live music, food and fun.

Infamous Adirondack based-band Lucid will perform for the party till 8 p.m. and food will be available from Liquids and Solids of Lake Placid and Propers Food Stand.

On Sunday the 3rd Annual Wilmington/ Whiteface 100k Mountain Bike Race will take place with a shotgun start at 7 a.m. The 100k race is a qualifier for the Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race. The WW100 both begins and ends at Whiteface Mountain, with a 69-mile long race that will take competitors up and down and twisting through jeep and gravel roads, backcountry trails and climbs that measure more than 750 meters each. All of this ends with a pair of 350-foot climbs at Whiteface ahead of the finish line.

Burns said cyclists who may not be ready for the full WW100 can also compete in the newly-added 50K event, and a newly-established TEAM class which will consist of two-member teams each riding the 50K course.

Registration is now available for the Wilmington Whiteface 100K. The entry fee is $70 for solo riders, $120 for two-person relay teams and $105 for a tandem bike.

“There is no weekend like it, Bike Fest is truly something we offer for everyone,” said Burns.

“It’s a great community event and we want to show people what a great community we have.”

For more information about the weekend’s events, and to register contact the Whiteface Region Business & Tourism Center at 946-2255 or email: info@whitefaceregion.com.

Rivers second to be found guilty in Keeseville murder case

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN „ A jury found Michael D. Rivers guilty of first-degree manslaughter and first degree gang assault on May 30 in relation to the death of Robert M. Rennie.

A third charge of criminal possession of a weapon was thrown out.

The jury went into deliberations at 10:30 a.m. and asked for read-backs of two testimonies, one of RiverÍ s wife, Angela Rivers, and the testimony of their son, Brandon Rivers.

According to Assistant District

Attorney Michael Langey, the jury came back with a verdict within three hours.

Both charges against Rivers, 36, of Keeseville, carry a maximum 25-year sentence which will be served concurrently.

During the trial which began on May 20, similar witnesses were called back from the trial of Scott Denno, who was convicted of the same two counts in the murder of Rennie May 8.

Expert testimonies were given by coroner Dr. Michael Sikirica, Senior Investigator John Donohue, who interrogated Rivers following the murder of Rennie and DNA expert Bri-

Brandon Rivers told the court about what his father had said to him after coming home from the fight with Rennie. Langey said Brandon told the court Rivers said, ñw e got him,î referring to beating up Rennie and told the court his father revealed to him what happened on Aug. 26 in the days following the altercation.

Angela Rivers had also testified. Rivers attorney had invoked spousal privilege when Angela took the stand but according to Langey, Angela was allowed to talk about the actions of her husband on the night of the assault and things said by her husband while in the company of other people.

Langey said anything said in private between the spouses was not admissible. Angela testified that she had witnessed the assault of Rennie and had seen all three men, her husband, Denno, and Paul Taylor, 39, of Keeseville, kicking Rennie on Aug. 26.

The three men were arrested following the death .

An autopsy determined that Rennie died due to blunt force trauma and internal bleeding.

Sikirica said during DennoÍ s trial that there was a tear in RennieÍ s liver due to blunt force trauma and that his lungs

had been partially collapsed with blood pooling in his chest cavity.

Sikirica testified that with the injuries sustained Rennie may have survived his injuries at least 12 minutes and could

have tried to run away before collapsing at the bottom of the hill.

Taylor will be the last of the trio to face criminal possession of a weapon, first-degree gang assault, and first degree

manslaughter. Jury selection is scheduled to begin on June 10.

Sentencing for Denno and Rivers was originally scheduled for June 27 but moved to Aug. 8 so both can be sentenced at the same time, Langey said.

Bamboo on the Boquet Y

ears ago there was a TV commercial about hamburgers with an old woman asking the question: ñ WhereÍ s the beef”? After numerous attempts at finding some trout on the Boquet River, many anglers are now asking the question: “Where’s the fish?” I met three different guys out fly fishing this past week, and they all have the same gripe: no fish, not even a rise. All of them found some choice spots with pools, runs and riffles, but no rising fish. These guys were seasoned veterans, not rookies!

If I don’t catch fish, I figure it’s just another bad day. We all have them. Today was one of them. I caught every branch and leaf that was in and around the stream. Even if there was only one lone branch in the stream, with a small twig sticking out of the water, I caught it today. I even caught my dog. I was tying on

By Rich Redman a new section of tippet when my dog walked by and got caught in the line. He pulled the rod out of my grasp. What a day. He was lucky! That dog was almost shark bait!

I was holding a WWII era, vintage bamboo rod. It is a classic and I wanted to try my luck with it after 60 years of storage.

I was trying to break it in, not break it in half. Bamboo rods are part of history and I had to have one just to try the laid back, slow motion of bamboo. ItÍ s a grandpa thing!

Two of the guys I talked with said they were going out of state to fish again. They had just returned from Massachusetts, fishing and said it was great.

They were from the Schroon Lake area and love the Adirondacks but are very frustrated with the stream fishing in this area. They were catching some The Boquet River beautiful fish in Massachusetts according to their stories. The guys were going back, a 4 to 5 hour drive they didnÍ t look forward to, but said it was worth it for the great fishing.

The third fly fisherman from this area is so disgusted he said he was moving to Tennessee, leaving New York for good. This guy is a New York hunting and fishing guide. He said that between the lack of ruffed grouse habitat, the poor stream fishing, and now Gov. Cuomo’s SAFE ACT, he has had it. You canÍ t make a living being a guide if there is nothing to guide to.

He asked me where I was fishing on the Boquet. I told him and he said he hasn’t caught a fish in that area in six years. This is the second time I have talked to someone about this one beautiful section. The same answer: no fish!

Another thing we all noticed, the lack of fishermen along the stream. Maybe it’s because they are smarter than I am. If there’s no fish, then there’s no reason to fish. I guess when I leave home to go fish, I’ll just say I’m going water whipping instead! The truth hurts sometimes!

No fishermen means, no local economic inputs. Isn’t that what tourism is supposed to be about, supporting local economies? Hunters and fishermen contribute millions to support habitat and fisheries management. License fees in this state, plus the taxes we pay on guns, ammunition and fishing equipment amount to millions. Local restaurants, gas stations, and motels all benefit from hunters and fishermen who travel in search of an adventure.

As a retired conservationist and I mean a real conservationist „ one who believes in the wise use of natural resources, including wildlife and forest management „ I am disturbed at the lack of natural resource management in this area. Any trout biology book or wildlife management text will be filled with page after page about how to improve a fishery or wildlife habitat by cutting trees and allowing sun to reach the earth to provide energy to young plants. Streams need young shoots of willow and dogwoods growing along the banks to help solidify the stream banks and provide vegetation that will bend over with ice flows.

Having shade trees is important for first order streams that support brook trout, but second order streams can have up to 50 percent grassy banks. Grassy areas that are managed and mowed every other year, supply grasshoppers and other terrestrial bugs to the water to feed fish during the summer months.

Channel width and shape (geo-morphology), channel bottom materials (cobble and stone versus sand), stream temperature and stream vegetation are all pieces of the stream ecology puzzle and all need to be in place for a quality fishery. Wetlands that are managed and have drainage access to streams supply some needed nutrients. The sun allows periphyton, algae and diatoms to grow on the cobble rock in the stream bed. Algae and diatoms feed invertebrates. Periphytons have been called the pastures of the stream. They supply food for the macrophytes; the grazing invertebrates that in turn feed the fish.

Mayfly nymphs, stoneflies and caddis all feed off the diatoms and other algae. In some cases they feed off each other. The fish feed off the invertebrates, nymphs, flies, worms and other bio-diversity of the stream bottom. Nutrients are as important as stream habitat structures.

We need to look at all the factors and accept the fact that we need to do something about improving the streams and floodplains for the benefit of the communities along the streams. Private landowners need to do the work on their land and government needs to deal with transportation infrastructures.

Roads, culverts and narrow bridges all effect stream flows, block fish passage or cause ice jamming. Wetlands and floodplains are the emergency overflow valves that collect water during storm events. When these areas are severed from the rest of the watershed by a road, the flood waters are forced downstream, increasing velocity and volume to cause damage to someone else. Over width streams lose the ability to carry sediment. They become shallow and allow anchor ice to buildup creating ice jams. There is a reason why the term FLOOD plain is used.

Using geo-morphology engineering along with and stream restoration practices, we can correct the depth, width and flow of the stream to eliminate most of the sediment and ice jamming problems. Bridges and culverts need to be designed to allow greater flows and not restrict fish and invertebrate passage. Once many of the stream flow factors are done, many of the fisheries problems will be solved. Geomorphic engineering practices along with riparian vegetation management will improve the stream for the communities and the inhabitants of the stream. We can never stop the flooding, but we can help reduce many of the manmade contributions that accentuate the flooding problems.

One group of dedicated trout enthusiasts is the Trout Unlimited folks. They are serious in their approach to stream management. They try to look at all the pieces of the stream morphology puzzle and then assist with the field work to improve the stream. The Rivermede project in Keene valley is one example of the excellent work they do. The East Branch of the Ausable River restoration project sets the baseline for future projects. If you are interested in trout, trout fishing, habitat restoration and floodplains like I am, this group is for you.

I need to break in that bamboo rod on a beautiful trout. I hope it will be a New York fish, but Pennsylvania and Massachusetts are both prime for fly fishing right now!

By the way, there is a serious movement to boycott buying hunting licenses this coming season as a way to let the governor know how upset hunters are with the SAFE ACT. When it comes to politics, money talks! There could be a lot of non – resident hunting and fishing licenses being bought

by New Yorkers this coming hunting season!

Conservation

Conversations

Styrofoam worm containers are not biodegradable. Plastic trash lasts for years, and it is easily washed downriver by the spring floods.

Spring’s unpredictable wildlife

T

he spring seasonÍ s unpredictable weather has certainly provided some unique challenges for outdoor travelers with high temperatures in the 70Í s and 80Í s and lows dropping into the 30Í s, with snow, rain and heavy winds.

Fortunately, the cool weather has helped to keep the blackflies at bay. And when it didn’t, at least you could hear them coming with the noise of thousands of black flies chattering their teeth in the cold.

A much more common spring sound has been the faraway thump, thump, thump of a lawnmower attempting to start up far away in the forest.

The noise is not actually mechanical by nature, it is natural in nature. And the fascinating element of the odd spring sound is the sound maker.

The noise is the mating call of a male ruffed grouse, which is often referred to as a partridge.

In order to amplify the sound the birds seek out a ï drumming tree,Í which is usually of a long, hollow tree laying on the ground.

Drumming trees may be used by generations of birds, but contrary to the long accepted theory of drumming, the male grouse does not produce the drumming noise by thumping the tree with their wings.

Rather, the male birds stand upright on the log and beat their wings furiously. So furiously in fact, that the tips of their wing feathers actually break the sound barrier.

But instead of just cracking a whip, their feathers crack several whips to produce the rhythmic thumping that has become as signature a sound of spring as a loonÍ s lonesome wail or a pepperÍ s pestering peep.

The effort also serves to ï buff them up,Í as they can lose more than 10 percent of their body weight due to the energy expended in drumming.

In addition to attracting female birds, the maleÍ s powerful beats serve to ward off potential suitors from intruding on its territory, which may be as extensive as 6 to 8 acres or larger.

While the male of the species is noisy and boisterous, female grouse are even more defensive of their territory.

If the hen fails to lure an intruder away by feigning an injured wing at first, she will turn and confront a threat, no matter the size.

I wonder at what point in the evolutionary process did members of the wild kingdom such as grouse, the killdeer and others, first learn to feign injury, to fake, and deceive as a matter of survival?

I was once attacked by a female grouse defending her brood, while walking a woodland trail with a 16-foot guideboat on my shoulders.

She stood in the trail, puffed up her chest, fanned her tail and refused to let me pass.

When I attempted to go around her, she pecked me in the shin, and chased after me.

I was the equivalent of an elephant to an infant, yet she refused to give way. She continued hissing and faking attacks until I hopped into the truck.

For travelers who prefer not to go face to tail feathers with a mother grouse, there are better things to see and do this weekend.

Historic vehicles return to the Adirondack History Center

Possibly one of the finest events in the region will be hosted in Elizabethtown, as the Adirondack History Center again hosts the Antique &

Classic Car Show to celebrate the opening of their newest exhibit: The Human Face of theAdirondacks in the Civil War. The grand opening of the exhibit will be held in conjunction with the car show on Saturday June 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Collectors and enthusiasts from around the region will have a collection of some of the finest vintage and restored vehicles on display. There will be a lot of ï 50Í s, ï 60Í s and 70Í s muscle cars as well as roadsters, hot rods, vintage jeeps, and pickups. Local fire departments will also have antique fire trucks on display. The event will include, food, drink, prizes and a raffle for $1,000 in gas.

Dirty waters

A recent state record brook trout taken from Silver Lake by Rick Beauchamp, provides evidence of how quickly Adirondack waters have recovered from the blight of acid rain.

Of course, ï Beau,Í as he is known to his friends, is such a capable angler he could probably catch trout in a bathtub.

A little more than 30 years ago, Silver Lake, (located in the southern AdirondackÍ s Silver Lake Wilderness Area) was deemed too acidic to support fish life.

At the time, nearly one quarter of the AdirondackÍ s fabled trout waters were considered acidified ‘dead lakes’ as a result of pollution from coal burning power plants and other industries in the midwest.

Due to the efforts of several environmental groups including the Adirondack Council, the scourge of acid precipitation has been severely curtailed. Many ï deadÍ lakes have made miraculous recoveries.

Nature takes care of its own, but in New York state it has had a lot of help from the fine folks at NYS DEC who worked with sportsmanÍ s groups to monitor the ponds, and restocked them with acid tolerant species such as the Temiscamie hybrid, a cross between a domestic brook trout and a wild Temiscamie (Canadianstrain) brook trout.

It is incredible to think that 30 years later, once dead lakes are now producing brook trout in the five to six pound class.

Keep our waters clean

Even with such great success stories, there is much more to do. Although our local waters are far less acidic than they have been in more than 30 years, they still need help.

Lead sinkers, soda cans, beer bottles and a host of similar trash can still be found on the edge or in the water of most local waters.

In a recent survey, the top 10 items that were found in waterways include cigarette filters, food wrappers, plastic bottles, plastic bags, caps/lids, plastic cups/plates/utensils, straws/stirrers, beverage cans and paper bags.

Fortunately, it appears there are now fewer Styrofoam worm containers left kicking around the local ponds and riverbanks. I expect this is the result of the introduction of biodegradable worm containers.

Unfortunately, there are still some slovenly anglers who believe biodegradable means it is alright to toss the containers along the riverbank. A slob is a slob, regardless of whether their trash is biodegradable or not!

The meeting will be held in the Board of Supervisors Chambers.

Any person who wishes to speak is encouraged to sign in at the hearing site beginning at 5:45 p.m. on the day of the hearing. While no one is required to sign in prior to the hearing, those persons who do sign in will be heard first, in the order in which they sign in. Any person who is unable to attend the hearing but who wishes to make their views known is encouraged to submit a written statement to the Hearing Officer. In order for a written statement to be considered, it must be postmarked no later than June 10. All written statements should be sent to: New York State Liquor Authority, Attn: Secretary’s Office, 80 South Swan Street, Suite 900, Albany, New York 12210, Re: Essex County Hearing.

The Essex County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution requesting the New York State Liquor Authority amend the hours of sale of alcoholic beverages at retail for on premises consumption. Currently, Essex County on premises licensees are prohibited from selling alcoholic beverages on Sunday between the hours of 4 a.m. and noon; and on any other day between the hours of 4 and 8 a.m. The amendment would change the hours of sale to prohibited licensees from selling alcoholic beverages at retail for on premises consumption on Sunday between the hours of 3 a.m. and noon; and on any other day between the hours of 3 and 8 a.m.

The resolution further requests the Authority to remove the restriction on Good Friday on the sale of alcoholic beverages at retail for off premises consumption. Currently package and wine store licensees in Essex County are prohibited to sell alcoholic beverages between the hours of noon and 3 p.m. on Good Friday.

by Wal-Mart and BlodgetteÍ s Supply of Ticonderoga.

Event emcee and Associate Publisher Ed Coats said that it was a great fun day for all who attend despite the hot weather. ñ We gave away over 50 prizes, and the crowd, while a little smaller than expected due to the warm weather, was as enthusiastic and engaged as if we had a thousand folks there,î he said.

Other prize winners who won Wal-Mart gift bags were Theresa Klingenberg, Patricia Ogilvie, Hanna Lavalla, Bonnie Bigelow, Donna McDurfee, Tracy Bennett, Kristie Fosmire, Lucinda Palmer, Juan Renadette, Mary Hamilton, Erica Barnsted, Lisa Stephendor, Patricia Blodgette, Cindy Gunning, Betsy Comeau, Cathy Beaton, Lucie Huckabay, Mary Lupo, Elaine Dean, Lynn Buck, Kathy Marshall

and Krista Bigelow.

Leslie Anderson won a Ninja Chopper. Shirley McCullough won a gift bag and meat tenderizer. Kathy Lagreca won a Mrs. Dash Gift Basket. Louse Evettesche won a Ceramic Bakers Package. Ashley Shores won an Ortega Taco Gift Bag. Anthony Lagreea won a stoneware pan. Shelley Rogers won a Bud Light Chair.

And Karen Turcotte won a stainless steel pan.

Winners of Taste of Home Cookbooks were Lee Dame, Donna Thompson, Lynn Gaduser, Margaret Schamberg, Burke Wilson, Vicky Murcray, Eleanor Winters, Susie Harrison, Jennie Benson, Celeste Jenkins, Thomas McCullough and Jill Stull.

Winner of the chef-prepared food items were Sheryl Manfredi, Nancy Strader, Janice House, Karen Longden, Patricia Hintze, Mary Jo Salvadore, Theresa Toan, Andy Trudeau, Jamie Stradler and Mev Manfredi.
