Production slated in Ticonderoga

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com ICONDEROGA — Musical theatre is coming to Ticonderoga.

T The Very Merry Players will present Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” Tuesday, July 30, at 3 p.m. on the lawn of the Hancock House. The production, which is free to the public, is sponsored by the Ticonderoga Historical Society. In the event of rain it will be held at the Knights of Columbus pavilion.

“This is a shining example of classic musical theatre,” Don Wright, the Very Merry Theatre’s executive director, said. “The story concerns wacky antics aboard an ocean liner bound from New York to London. There are amazing tap-numbers, zany jokes, unlikely happy endings and not to be forgotten songs that will keep you humming for days. It is a fast-paced, farcical and kid-friendly performance for children from eight to 80.”

The Very Merry Players is a group of 25 teens who aim to advance children’s literacy through the performance of classic books.

June Curtis of the historical society said local high school students have been invited to the program.

“I’ve invited the Ticonderoga High School’s drama club, the Sentinel Productions, to co-sponsor this event with us,” she said.

“It should be fun for the students to see this peer group production. Amy Crannell, the club adviser, will join us with as many of the drama students as are available.”

Wright said his performers are anxious to meet their Ticonderoga counterparts.

“We’d love to meet your high school kids and share experi-

ences,” he said. “If they’d like to come early and see how and perhaps help set up our wagon stage, that would be great.”

The play is part of the “Ticonderoga Area Summer.” The “summer” is a collection of events and programs that includes activities for both children and adults, from fi reworks and carnivals, to art classes and programs, concerts and theatrical performances, historical events and more.

Events are being promoted by the Ticonderoga Area Cultural Arts Initiative as well as the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.

To promote the activities the arts initiative has distributed maps of the arts, cultural and historic sites in Ticonderoga as well as information cards with a schedule of events.

“The Very Merry Theatre is one of several events promoted by the Ticonderoga Area Cultural Arts Initiative during A Summer of Fun,” Curtis said. “This performance is made possible, in part, with public funds from New & Used Guns New York State Council on Bought & Sold the Arts Decentralization ProAmmo • Scopes gram, administered locally by Slings • Etc.

Thoughts on Cuomo’s dog-and-pony show

L

et’s be clear — we are grateful to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for establishing the Adirondack Challenge Festival. Local towns and counties couldn’t afford to buy that much publicity for our tourism-dependent region. For a weekend, the Adirondack Park was in New York’s limelight, and it felt great.

It felt even better for the governor, who was able to award himself the Adirondack Challenge’s top prize for winning the whitewater rafting races on Sunday, July 21 on the Indian River. The Senate came in second. The Assembly third.

Come on!

Did they let him win? Did he have a head start? Were State Police scuba divers holding back the other rafts? We know he had a strong team and a top-notch rafting guide in Bone Bayse of Beaver Brook Outfi tters. But still ... the governor wins his own challenge?

Sounds fi shy. We’ll never know the whole truth (the governor’s offi ce isn’t always forthcoming with such information). On face value, it looked like the Adirondack Challenge was one big dog-and-pony show for the governor’s ego.

But we’re OK with that.

Maybe Cuomo deserved the win, maybe he didn’t. It doesn’t matter. For the amount of positive national exposure Cuomo gave the Adirondack Park, he can have a dozen fi rst-place paddles. And if he ever makes it to the White House, he’ll remember the good times he had in the Adirondack Park. Maybe he’ll set up a summer White House here like Calvin Coolidge did in 1926 at White Pine Camp in Paul Smiths.

That would be great exposure, too.

New York governors have come and gone, and most have just ignored the Adirondack Park. Gov. George Pataki was a strong advocate; heck, he even bought property here in Essex. And, like Pataki, Cuomo genuinely likes spending time in the Adirondacks. He vacations here with his family, sneaking away from Albany many times without the expectation of a headline or a photo opportunity. That, in itself, is the best testimonial.

Yet Cuomo, with deep roots in New York City politics, brings something else to the table that other Adirondack-loving governors have not — the understanding of how to draw attention to this region — get people involved, especially from the downstate movers and shakers

in business and politics.

Throw them in a whitewater raft knowing they’ll enjoy the natural beauty, camaraderie of a paddling team, the spirit of competitiveness and fun, and give them a cold Adirondack beer at the end of the day. Show them a good time, and make some memories. That’s what people will remember the most when it comes time to make decisions about this special place in northern New York. And itÕ s those memories that will generate positive word-of-mouth advertising and lead to an increase in tourism.

We only hoped the governor would let New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg win the second Adirondack Challenge whitewater rafting race down the Indian River on Monday, July 22. This way, he would have bragged about it for years, adding even more word-of-mouth value to the experience. Instead, the governor’s competitiveness overpowered his political savvy. Everyone has their weakness. Cuomo just had to win the second race, too.

The rumblings of criticism about the thousands of people who didn’t show up to the Adirondack Challenge Festival in Indian Lake this past weekend are unfair, especially since there was a good crowd of locals and tourists in town. Expectations may have been too high.

We think some people lost sight of the real purpose of the Adirondack Challenge. It wasn’t to attract tourists for one weekend; it was to attract tourists for many weekends in the future.

Thanks to the free publicity and the I Love NY advertising campaign for the Adirondack Region, we hope to see thousands more tourists from New York City, Long Island and Westchester County visit these mountains in the months and years ahead, instead of heading to Vermont, New Hampshire or Maine for their vacations.

All in all, the governor’s publicity stunt was well worth the time and money, and we thank him for all the attention.

We must also thank the dozens of volunteers and organizers who hosted the town-wide festival in Indian Lake for their time, hard work and hospitality. They were somewhat overshadowed by the governor, but they played one of the most important roles over the weekend.

They showed the visitors a good time, as they always do, with a smile and a “Come back again soon.” Ñ

Food program available in Ti

Letters to the Editor

To the Times of Ti:

Thanks so much for your excellent recent opinion piece (editorial July 13) on the problem of childhood hunger in our area!

This is a disturbing and growing problem and I hope your editorial will draw the much deserved attention this problem needs.

The Kiwanis BackPack Program has been and will continue to be an effort to remedy childhood hunger on weekends during the school year in Ticonderoga and Crown Point. However, the next question that most people ask after they understand the mission of the BackPack Program is, “What happens to these children in the summertime?”

The re-establishment of the Ticonderoga summer youth program was an effort focused primarily on helping to address the childhood hunger problem in the summer months. However, it has been diffi cult to get the message out that Ticonderoga is an open site and that the free food is available to all children age 18 and under. This is distinctly the extra added bonus of starting up the summer program once again.

Thanks again for emphasizing that aspect of the program.

John Bartlett, president Ticonderoga Kiwanis

Stand your ground

Mural praised To the Times of Ti:

We just wanted to congratulate and thank those persons responsible for painting the beautiful mural in downtown Ticonderoga. We are fairly new to the area and have noticed a great energy in the town.

It is our understanding that the mural project took months to develop and we appreciate the efforts of those who persevered and kept the project alive.

Kudos to: Mary Ann Andrusko and her daughter, Keeley, who attended meeting after meeting, funded the project and climbed the scaffolding with paint brushes in hand.

Jay’s Sunoco, for cooperating with the operation and for donating to the project.

Ticonderoga student artists for their mural designs Vincent Smith for his help in choosing the right colors and helping during the painting weekend.

Jim Beaty for enlarging the artists rendition to scale and for helping with the painting.

Seddon Beaty and Patty Morehouse for climbing the scaffolding and painting along with Mary Ann and her daughter.

Bill Best for supplying the project with scaffolding and moving it fi ve different times during the project.

Aubuchon Hardware for supplying the paint at cost.

Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance and Chattie Van Wert for spearheading the project, keeping the discussion alive during the planning stages and seeing it through its completion.

It’s a beautiful mural and all of those involved should be congratulated. It is amazing to see what can be accomplished when everyone works together.

Many thanks and congratulations to all those involved.

Mariann and Randy Rapple Ticonderoga

To the Times of Ti:

Why didn’t “Stand your ground” apply to Trayvon Martin?

Trayvon was a 17-year-old teen-ager, not an adult. Trayvon was unarmed, he was terrifi ed with only his fi sts to protect him.

Zimmerman did not fear for his life, he had a gun. Because of Zimmerman’s anger over past circumstances he shot and killed and unarmed teen-ager. Zimmerman, the aggressor, acting as a vigilanty. He was not a law offi cer. If the jury had not had their hands tied with only the facts they were allowed to use, Zimmerman would have been given a different verdict. He would be serving time for fi rst degree murder!

Trayvon was trying to get home. Trayvon was unarmed, he was terrifi ed. Trayvon was fi ghting for his life, he was “standing his ground!”

Rhea Belden Ticonderoga

Ti visitor pleased To the Times of Ti:

As a great number of families in the area, my family enjoys the Fourth of July in Ticonderoga. My family has found going from Whitehall to Ticonderoga by boat most memorable. My brother, nephew and I started the trip north but I had to turn around having engine troubles. Two of my passengers go into the other two boats.

When I got back to the South Bay boat launch, my fi ancée and I not wanting to miss the fi reworks, stated to Ticonderoga in our car.

Finding a parking lot close to the action and it being dark, I was more than happy to pay $5 for the privilege. Reaching for my wallet I was surprised to fi nd it gone. My lady had to pay.

I thought it may be home in the pants I was wearing earlier in the day. Not fi nding it I was sure it had fallen out of my pocket when I was having engine trouble. Having hope beyond hope, I tore my house apart, but no luck.

To my surprise on July 9 I received a phone call from the Whitehall Police Department that the Ticonderoga Police Department had my wallet with all the contents still there.

It is great to know that we live in an area where good people still live. It’s possible that other areas in the state I might have had a similar outcome, but I prefer the great Northeast.

God Bless America.

Physical activity guidelines To the Times of Ti:

School vacations, backyard barbeques, and lazy days – all signs of summer. However, summer is also a great time for children to be active. An estimated one in three children are overweight or obese according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Physical inactivity has been linked to an increased risk of obesity- related illnesses such as type two diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and certain cancers. Type two diabetes and high blood pressure, usually thought of as adult disease, are now showing up in youth.

The US Department of Health and Human Services’ Physical Activity Guidelines for children recommend one hour or more of physical activity every day. This hour of active play can be broken up in to smaller segments for families who have a busier schedule, but the key is to fi nd an activity that kids will enjoy doing. Some kids may love to bike around their neighborhoods with their friends, others may enjoy swimming, extreme Frisbee, or just going to their local park to play on the equipment.

We all have a role helping our kids grow to be healthy, strong adults. Several of the area’s Recreation departments feature summer activities that kids can get involved with for free, or a small fee. Access to this information can be found by going through your town’s website, or the town hall. Parents are an important infl uence on kids in staying active by modeling appropriate behavior. Going out and playing soccer or staying active with our kids is a great start to lasting memories and healthier bodies for children and adults alike.

Fife & drum corps to muster at Fort Ti Performances to highlight July 27 activities

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Battlefi eld music will fi ll the air as Fort Ticonderoga hosts its annual Fife & Drum Corps Muster.

The muster, which will feature fi ve different corps, will be held Saturday, July 27, at the fort. A twilight performance at 7 p.m. on the fort parade ground will conclude the muster. Tickets for the evening program are $10. Children 4 years and younger and Friends of Fort Ticonderoga are free.

The fort’s annual clambake will also be held that day 3 to 6 p.m.

“The Fife & Drum Corps Muster highlights the role fi fe & drum music has played in the commemoration of American history,” Beth Hill, Fort Ti president and CEO, said. “Fife & drum corps gained increased popularity during the American bicentennial celebrations. In 18th -century military life, fi fes and drums served as one of the primary modes of battlefi eld communication and camp regulation.”

Fort Ticonderoga formed its fi rst fi fe & drum corps in 1926 on the eve of the 150th anniversary celebration of American Independence.

“The corps performed at the fort each summer until the beginning of World War II,” Hill said. “When the World’s Fair came to New York City in 1939, the Fort Ti Fife & Drum Corps was a featured performer on May 10, Fort Ticonderoga Day, celebrating the 164th anniversary of the capture of the Fort by Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold and the Green Mountain Boys.

“In 1973, in preparation for the bicentennial, Fort Ticonderoga

revived the fi fe & drum corps to perform daily during the fort’s summer season,” she added. “The fi fe and drum corps has performed every year since and has been featured performers at many major public events including the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games, the christening of the U.S. Navy Guided Missile Cruiser USS Ticonderoga CG-47, and several Evacuation Day parades in Boston, Mass.”

Today the Fort Ticonderoga Fife & Drum Corps is comprised of Ticonderoga area high school students who are paid employees of Fort Ticonderoga.

“The fi fe & drum corps is part of Fort Ticonderoga’s interpretive department whose focus brings to life Fort Ticonderoga’s specifi c history through daily interpretive programs, historic trades and special events,” Hill said.

Several Fort Ti Fife & Drum Corps alumni will take part in the annual muster.

Joining the Fort Ti Fife & Drum Corps in the muster will be the 3rd New Jersey Field Music, The Fifes and Drums of the Lincoln Minutemen, The Deep River Junior Ancient Fife and Drum Corps and Hanaford’s Volunteers Fife and Drum Corps and The Fifes and Drums of Fort Ticonderoga.

The muster will include a tour of the fort at 10:15 a.m., a musket demonstration at 11 a.m., a garden march at 11:30 a.m. a garden and grounds tour at 11:45 a.m., fi fe & drum performances at 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., a tour of the fort at 1:15 p.m., a fi fe & drum performance at 1:45 p.m., a musket demonstration at 2 p.m., a garden march at 2:30 p.m., a fi fe & drum performance at 2:45 p.m., the clambake 3-6 p.m., a fi fe & drum performance at 3:20 p.m., a tour of the fort at 3:45 p.m., a combined fi fe & drum performance at 4:15 p.m. and the twilight concert at 7 p.m.

For more information call 585-2821 or go online at www.fortticonderoga.org.

Ticonderoga hiker Carol Whitford recently climbed Cook Mountain, along with close to 40 others, in a Hike-A-Thon to celebrate the Lake George Land Conservancy’s 25th anniversary. Simultaneously, nine LGLC parks and preserves hosted nearly 500 people who gathered in groups to have their photos taken by renowned nature photographer Carl Heilman, II from a helicopter as it flew to each site.

Serving Ticonderoga, Schroon Lake, Moriah,

Essex County OKs Lake George law TICONDEROGA — Essex County enacted an invasive species transport law for Lake George at its regular monthly board of supervisors meeting July 1. The law takes effect immediately.

The law applies only to the portion of the Lake George basin that lies within Essex County.

Lake George Association Executive Director Walt Lender of Ticonderoga testifi ed at the public hearing held prior to the meeting Monday.

“We are grateful to the board of supervisors and, in particular, to Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney for your leadership and

commitment to this issue,” Lender stated. “Invasive species are a growing threat to all waterways in the county, and particularly Lake George. They are expensive to manage and we simply do not have the capability to control any new introductions, so this law helps prevent their spread between water bodies.”

The Lake George Association manages the Lake Steward program which inspects boats entering and leaving Lake George.

Stewards are stationed at Mossy Point boat launch in Ticonderoga, which is the only public boat launch on Lake George in Essex County. Approximately four miles of Lake George is in Essex county.

Warren County’s Chester Town Supervisor and head of the legislative committee for Warren County Fred Monroe championed the passage of a similar law in Warren County and encouraged Essex County to take up the invasive species transport law.

Most of Lake George lies within Warren County.

The LGA is a member-supported non-profi t organization.

Families, businesses, summer residents and donors support the LGA. Founded in 1885, the Lake George Association is the nation’s oldest lake protection organization. For more information the public can call 668-3558 or visit www.lakegeorgeassociation. org

Annual Notification to Ticonderoga Municipal Water and Sewer Users The Town of Ticonderoga would like to remind municipal sewer users to verify that their homeowner’s policy includes coverage for sewer back-ups. The homeowner is responsible for water and sewer laterals from their home to the town owned mains. Heavy rainfall events could put your home at risk for sewer back-ups due to a combined sewer/storm water system. Insurance for sewer back-ups is not normally included in a standard policy and may require the purchase of a rider to your homeowner’s policy. Your insurance agent can make recommendations on the type and amount of coverage that you may need.

Additional safeguards to further protect your home are to ensure you have a water turn off located at the main connection in your home, a check valve on your sewer lateral and a back flow preventer on your water lateral.

Veterans court operating in county

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com ICONDEROGA — Hero to zero.

T It’s a saying among many veterans, especially for those who come from military service and run afoul of the law.

“It can be very diffi cult for young veterans, especially in today’s economy,” said Harry Treadway, a Vietnam veteran who is Essex County Veterans Court mentor coordinator.

“They come home and can’t fi nd a job. They have too much time on their hands, so they drink a little too much and get into some trouble.”

Treadway, a Ticonderoga resident, and others hope the new Essex County Veterans Court can help those who have served their nation.

Information meetings on the court program will be held Thursday, Aug. 8, at 7 p.m. at the Ticonderoga VFW on Shore Airport Road; Tuesday, Aug. 13, at the Keeseville VFW on Route 9; and Thursday, Aug. 22, at 7 p.m. at the Lake Placid American Legion on Main Street.

The court is designed to offer alternatives to incarceration and help solve underlying issues with veterans. It is available to all veterans.

Other veterans will work with veterans in the court system as mentors and advocates. Treadway coordinators the mentor program.

“Most vets today don’t trust the system,” Treadway said. “They just zone out when someone in the system talks. Veterans seem to respond better when they’re approached by other veterans.”

The trained mentors do not offer legal advice, Treadway stressed, but do help vets navigate the legal system. They also offer support.

“Each individual vet (in the court system) is assigned a mentor who is a veteran,” Treadway said. “We try to match them up — Army to Army, Marine to Marine, Iraq to Iraq, Afghanistan to Afghanistan — so they have as much in common as possible. Sometimes, though, its

good to have a Vietnam vet to talk to a younger will be just for veterans.”

“Let’s make productive citizens out of these guy.”

The Essex County Veterans Court will deal people,” Treadway said. “It was the citizens of Veterans who are interested in serving as with criminal and family court cases.

Treadway said the veterans court is a win“Believe me, it’d be much easier for someone Ò The biggest concern was that there wasnÕ t win for Essex County residents. It can save taxof these vets to do 30-60 days in jail than to coma need,” Treadway said. “The DAs and judges payers money by keeping people out of jail and plete this program,” he said. “This isn’t about said they didn’t see that many veterans.

It turns out a lot of people were veterans, they just didn’t tell anyone.”

Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague said local police are now directed to ask anyone in custody if they are a veteran.

Judge Rick Meyer said the Essex County Veterans Court will offer assistance rather than just punishment for veterans. Offenders will be able to participate in addiction or mental health programs as an alternative to jail time at 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 Tonya Whitford Condon of Ticonderoga was recently awarded the Presidential Champion Award, the Presidential Physical Fitness of support and services Award and the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award through The President’s Challenge Program in recognition of her commitment through this team.

Wild Character My Favorite Marten

“Bubblemania” will come to Ticonderoga Wednesday, July 31, as part of the Ticonderoga Festival Guild’s Arts Trek series for children.

‘Bubblemania’ slated in Ti ‘Love Letters’ to be performed TICONDEROGA — “Bubblemania” will come to Ticonderoga Wednesday, July 31, as part of the Ticonderoga Festival Guild’s Arts Trek series for children.

Casey Carle will present the program at 10:15 a.m. The program, normally held outside, will be held inside the Knights of Columbus because the wind can affect the bubble program.

Carle grew up in Greene, graduated cum laude from SUNY-Geneseo with a bachelor of arts in drama, and then from the Ringling Bros. Clown College with a bachelor of fun arts.

His act was the first-of-its-kind bubble act for Ringling Bros. Circus in 1989. He acted as consultant for Cirque du Soleil on soapbubble based routines and scenes. He has been featured on The Discovery Channel and been a guest on the Science Channel with Michio Kaku. He has received numerous awards and accolades.

Arts Trek programs are presented free to the community by donors and sponsors. The sponsor of this Arts Trek is the Rotary Club of Northern Lake George.

The Arts Treks are supported by grants from the Southern Lake Champlain Fund of the Vermont Community Trust, the International Paper Foundation, Essex Co. Dept. of Youth, North Country Cultural Center for the Arts (DEC), Charles R. Wood Foundation, Honeybee Community Fund, Wal-Mart Foundation, by donations from the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union and from Stewart’s Shops, and by individual donors.

The American Marten, a happy-go-lucky round-eared, bushy-tailed, slender weasel, is often confused with its cousin, the Pine Marten, because it likes to party among the pines. Its rich, silky fur varies in color from pale yellow to nearly black. By 1892, when the Adirondack Park was created, trapping had www.exploringnature.org nearly erased the marten from the Northeast. New York’s now-healthy population rebounded from a feisty isolated group that survived in the northern Adirondack Park. Martens give weasels a good name: they dine happily on rodents, bugs, amphibians, and reptiles. Another great reason we’re so...

‘Love Letters’ “Love Letters,” a play by A. R. Gurney, will be presented at the Downtown Gallery three times.

The drama, which highlights letters written by the two protagonists from second grade through adulthood, was presented twice in March. The two lead roles are played by Vincent Smith of Hague and Kathleen Recchia of Jay, both experienced actors with a variety of roles behind them.

Admission to the play is free, but donations will be requested to help defray the cost of production.

It is sponsored by the Ticonderoga Festival Guild and the 50797 Ticonderoga Cultural Arts Initiative.

The fi rst 150 people registered will receive a goody bag and dash plaque. During the car show there will be food, vendors, a 50/50 raffl e, silent auction raffl e tent, car show raffl e and music by Jerry’s Juke Box. There will also be a piston toss, muffl er wrap and a hoola hoop contest.

In conjunction with the car show, the Kiwanis Club of Ticonderoga duck race will be held Sunday, Aug. 4, at 11 a.m. on the LaChute River in Bicentennial Park. Ducks will be available for purchase that morning.

To enter as a car show participant there is a $15 pre-registration fee before Aug. 2 and a $20 registration fee at the gate on the day of the

show. Participants who pre-register will be entered into a drawing to win $100.

Judging will begin at 11 a.m. All vehicles must be on the grounds by 10:45 a.m. to be judged.

There is no admission fee for spectators.

The chamber will also have a 2013 Car Show Raffl e. Tickets are $10. The fi rst prize is $3,000 and the second prize is $2,000. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold.

Times of Ti - 13

Ticonderoga Best in Show winner with a ‘56 Sunliner. He represented the region in Boston.

“We arrived at the SuperWheels Showdown car show in Boston’s City Hall Plaza on a sunny October day with temperatures in the mid-70s and no rain,” Moore said. “The show consisted of 100 cars that were all Best of Show winners in the northeast and sponsored by ‘Cruisin’ New England’ magazine. The ’56 Sunliner was a winner and we were invited to go to the Mohegan Sun in July to participate in the Elite 50 Dream Machines car show, also sponsored by ‘Crusin’ New EnglandÕ magazine. The cars will be displayed inside the casino’s grand ball room.

“I would like to thank Matt Courtright and the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce for the opportunity to attend the Boston show and we look forward to another exciting weekend this summer,” he said.

Chuck Moore’s ‘56 Sunliner was also fea-

tured on the cover of “Crusin’ New England” magazine this past winter.

“We were thrilled to give Chuck Moore the opportunity to attend the Boston show,” Courtright said. “He represented the Ticonderoga Area Car Show well. The chamber was very excited to hear that he was a winner and chosen to move on to the show at the Mohegan Sun. Shortly after, a copy of ‘Cruisin’ New England’ magazine came and Chuck’s car was on the cover. We could not be happier with the representative chosen at the 20th annual Ticonderoga Area Car Show.”

T

he NCSPCAÕ s Grand Opening on July 20 was a success, with lots of fun and excitement for everyone, both furry and human visitors! We would like to thank everyone who attended and showed their support. You can check out some great photos of the festivities on our Facebook page, North Country SPCA. If you are interested in donating household items or pet supplies to the NCSPCA, there is a listing of much-needed items on our webpage, http://www.ncspca.org/, We also have an Amazon Wish List if you would like to order pet items to be sent directly to the shelter.

At this time, we are especially in need of wet cat food. Our feline friends seem to respond very well to Hills Science Diet MD Weight Loss. We are also always in need of cleaning supplies, Frontline flea control products, kitty litter, dog and cat toys, and dog collars/ leashes. The majority of our dry pet food is donated to us through the Science Diet Pet Parters Program. Of course, we always welcome monetary donations and, most importantly, your time if you are able to volunteer!

Our featured pet this week is Misha, a Tibetan Spaniel/Pomeranian Mix who is an ab-

Misha

housetrained and would love to find a home where she can sit on your lap and watch television with you or just cuddle up at night. If you are looking for a smaller dog with a huge personality, Misha is the canine for you!

Adirondack Challenge Fest hits region

By Bill Quinlivan

newsenterprise@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s extended weekend in northern Hamilton County for the fi rst-ever Adirondack Challenge Festival was fruitful for him and for the region.

The governor’s team took away the two top whitewater rafting prizes Sunday and Monday, July 21 and 22, and the state’s media was focused on the Adirondack Park the entire time, something Cuomo intended as a boost to local tourism.

The governor was accompanied by a large contingent of politicians (state, county and local), executive aides, rafting professionals and press, all supported by a cadre of volunteers from Indian Lake. This all started with a mention by Cuomo in January’s State of the State address. As many had hoped, Indian Lake became the selected venue, being billed as the state’s “Whitewater Capital.”

For several weeks, the town of Indian Lake pulled together all its government and community resources in preparation for the event. This effort was driven by a number of motives, not the least of which was community pride and a desire to showcase the town to the visiting dignitaries, press and public in the best possible light, while enjoying the fruits of the event’s ability to increase recognition and tourism within the town.

A few saw the event as the “magic bullet” that would go a long way to solving many of the town’s perceived shortcomings, but most were more realistic and longer-term in their thinking.

During his address at the July 21 award ceremony held at the Gore Mountain ski center in North Creek after the river run, Cuomo defi ned his objective.

“I want to get the word out about the Adirondacks,” Cuomo said. “People just don’t know what we have… all we have to do is show them … you can’t fi nd this any where else on the globe.”

And, the governor put his back into accomplishing this objective. The “race” ran a mere 3-mile section of the Indian River and was not expected to take much more than 25 minutes. All along the route, cameras were fl ashing and videos were recording the beauty of the scenery and the fun being had by all participants along the way. Footage of the area surrounding Indian Lake was taken from the air. It was a well-oiled publicity machine being focused on the whitewater and paddling opportunities that exist in this beautiful and pristine part of the Adirondack Region of New York state.

On Monday morning, CBS Morning News was giving the event, the Adirondacks and the governor national broadcast coverage that included a mention of the town of Indian Lake.

State Sen. Betty Little was very pleased with Cuomo’s efforts.

“I will be the fi rst to admit that when I fi rst heard of the idea, I thought that the governor was joking, but it was no joke,” Little said. “The governor follows through on what he says he will do.”

Little went on to describe the governor as the No. 1 fan of the Adirondacks.

“He understands the need for help to turn the Adirondacks around,” Little said. “What do you think this level of publicity would cost? It just does not get any better than this.”

showed the governor around Indian Lake over the weekend, accompanying him to the Indian Lake Volunteer Fire Department barbecue on Saturday, July 20. During the award ceremony at Gore on July 21, Farber called for more Adirondack Challenges in the future with activities such as mountain biking and fi shing.

“We need to fi nd more opportunities to link our counties together,” Farber said.

Regarding a spirit of cooperation that leads to the success of the region and all its parts, Farber noted that the Adirondack Challenge was held in three counties: rafts launched in Indian Lake in Hamilton County, the rafts pulled out of the Indian River in Minerva in Essex County, and the award ceremonies in North Creek in Warren County.

During his closing remarks July 21, Cuomo also touched on a theme of cooperation and pulling together when discussing the well-known economic needs of the counties and small towns of the Adirondack region. ”For good times or bad times, nobody comes together like the people in this state,” Cuomo said.

Like the dam opening on Abanakee Lake, the Adirondack Challenge was seen by many as providing a “bubble” of sorts.

In all likelihood, this event, if joined with other similar efforts on the part of state and county governments, will increase tourism and possibly have an effect on improving the economy and adding jobs in the long term. It is certainly true that efforts at levels above the individual towns may provide the bubble of water to fl oat upon, but the real Adirondack challenge is up to communities and groups of communities to learn how best to take advantage of the bubble by cooperating and pulling together in guiding the boat that is the Adirondacks.

Cuomo launches new ad campaign shawn@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Coinciding with the inaugural “Adirondack Challenge,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s offi ce has launched a new television advertisement prominently featuring the Adirondack region as a destination for outdoor tourist activities.

The ad is part of a $60 million campaign launched in May, aimed at growing New York state industry, creating jobs and attracting tourists to the state.

“With more than 2,000 miles of hiking trails, 3,000 lakes and ponds and stunning natural wonders, the Adirondacks and North Country make for the perfect summer escape,” Cuomo said in a press release.

The ad features Adirondack guides from different disciplines singing the praises of the Adirondacks while participating in the activities they love. The ad opens with shots of whitewater rafters and hikers, along with a

view of a picturesque Adirondack lake, while an announcer declares: “This summer, New York’s Adirondacks and North Country are back and open for business.”

The initiative is aimed at helping the region continue to recover from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee two years ago.

“I think it’s a tremendous initiative,” said Greg Borzilleri, owner of Mirror Lake Boat Rentals in Lake Placid.

A clip of Borzilleri paddling a stand-uppaddleboard on Mirror Lake appears in the ad.

“To native New Yorkers, my message is simple: ‘there’s no reason to leave the state this summer’ and to everyone else looking for the perfect summer getaway, I say, ‘come experience the Adirondacks and North Country,’” Cuomo continued in the release.

“The governor is obviously very friendly to the North Country. I think it’s great that they’re trying to get the people from downstate (to) upstate ... keep it in the family is my theory,” Borzelleri said.

DAR makes donation for historic marker

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point is fi nally getting credit for its role in a key Revolutionary War event.

The New York State Daughters of the American Revolution have donated $2,000 for a bronze historic marker to be erected at the Crown Point State Historic Site. The marker, to be placed by the Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site, will note Crown Point as the beginning of the “Knox Trail,” also known as the artillery trail.

“It is a pleasure for me to present our $2,000 contribution that we would like Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site to use to erect a historic marker, to complete the artillery (Knox) trail by noting the capture at Crown Point of 111 artillery pieces,” said Denise Doring VanBuren, New York State DAR Regent. “We are truly delighted to have this opportunity to support your important work in telling this chapter in America’s story.”

In 1775, Gen. George Washington arrived in Boston, taking command of the army. There he met and developed a friendship with Col. Henry Knox, an expert on colonial artillery. Knox suggested to Washington that 50 cannon captured by American forces at Crown Point and Fort Ticonderoga, be brought to Boston. Using barges, bateaux and oxen-driven sleds, Knox led the march to deliver the artillery.

In March 1776, Washington seized Dorchester Heights outside Boston and Knox placed the cannon in position there. Realizing the threat of an impending American bombardment, the British withdrew from the city. The next day triumphant Americans claimed the city.

“While just about everyone knows that on May 10, 1775, Benedict Arnold, Ethan Allen and 83 Green Mountain Boys captured Ticonderoga and its 78 pieces of heavy artillery, few know that the very next day 100 Green Mountain Boys, led by Seth Warner, likewise liberated nearby Crown Point from British control,” Mathew Anderson, president of the Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site, said. “On May 15, Allen and Arnold arrived at Crown Point and ordered militiamen to inventory and salvage materials that survived a 1773 fi re. The greatest prize — 111 cannon, of which 65 were immediately usable — were inventoried at Crown Point, along with tons of cannon balls and musket balls.”

Twenty-nine of the 59 cannon transported from Lake Champlain to South Boston that winter originated at Crown Point.

“Shortly before Henry Knox arrived at Ticonderoga in December to move heavy cannon a great distance, patriots prepared for his arrival by selecting 29 cannon at Crown Point to be hauled to Ticonderoga where they would join 30 cannon picked from among those already there,” Anderson said.

“Upon arrival, troops serving under Henry Knox undertook the grueling task of moving the captured cannon. Ò So when one considers that very nearly half of the artillery pieces hauled from Lake Champlain forts to South Boston came from Crown Point, one realizes that the actual starting point of the historic artillery (Knox) trail is Crown Point, even though there is no bronze marker placed there yet

to declare that fact,” Anderson said.

This spring DAR members from the Hudson Valley region visited the Crown Point State Historic Site.

“They came to see the point from which Hudson Valley troops, commanded by Gens.

Richard Montgomery and Philip Schuyler, New York State Regent for the Daughters departed to invade of the American Revolution Denise Doring British Canada,” An- VanBuren presents a $2,000 check to Tom Hughes, manager of Crown Point State derson said. “After Historic Site, on behalf of the site’s friends several victories, the group. The money will be used for a bronze army from eastern historic marker that will note Crown Point as New York was joined the beginning of the “Knox Trail,” also known in Canada by Benedict as the artillery trail.

Arnold’s force, which had marched through the forests of Maine for an attack on Québec City. That assault failed. Montgomery was killed, Arnold wounded and the Americans were forced to retreat.”

While visiting Crown Point, the DAR members learned of the site’s role in the delivery of artillery to Boston in 1775-76. They decided to donate the money for a historic marker to note the event.

“The elected trustees of Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site are delighted to accept this very generous designated gift and are eager to use it to pay for a new bronze marker that, when erected at Crown Point, will at last complete the famous 1775 – 1776 artillery trail,” Anderson said.

The non-profi t Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site was incorporated by the Regents of the State of New York in 1985.

The friends group, working closely with site management, provides support of the site’s mission to preserve its history and to serve the visiting public.

Schroon Lake woman authors book SCHROON LAKE — A family tragedy has led a Schroon Lake woman to pen a book.

Randi (Vander Wiele) Stump has authored “The Dark Stretch: A Young Wife’s Miraculous Ride from Darkness to Light.”

The book tells the story of Randi and Graham Stump. Graham Stump was critically injured in a rodeo accident in 2010. The book details his recovery, the accident’s impact on his family and the support of the local community.

“We are not promised an easy life,” Randi Stump said. “In fact, the Bible tells us that life is going to be hard, with tough situations and decisions to make all the time. I want people to be encouraged by my story, that with Christ you can face these hard times, these storms in life, head on with his help. He will give you just the right amount of trust and faith to face that next terrifying minute that comes ticking your way. We just have to ask him.”

The book also discusses Randi’s life in Schroon Lake. Her family owns and operates Mountain Petroleum in Schroon Lake.

“I also talk about growing up in the Adirondacks...their beauty and the adventures I had as a child on horseback,” she said.

Randi, who holds a degree in equine science and management from SUNY-Morrisville, was leading the horsemanship program at Word of Life in 2010. Graham, also a horse enthusiast, assisted Randi with the weekly rodeo at Word of Life Ranch.

“On July 30, he (Graham) competed in a roping event, and after lassoing the steer, dallying off the rope to the horn of his saddle, his best horse, lost his footing and went down,” Randi recalled. “Both horse and rider slammed into the arena floor with Graham’s head taking the full force of the fall. He was knocked out immediately, his feet still secure in the stirrups.

“His horse was fine with only a piece of leather strapping

People just loved reading about his progress, the struggles we faced and the miracle that happened in his life. Perhaps at first, most were curious and interested in the rawness of it all, but as time went by, people actually loved my writing and continually encouraged me to write a book about the whole experience.”

Randi still updates her blog. It can be found at www.grahamandrandi.wordpress.com The book is available for purchase on Amazon, Barnes and Noble online and at the Word of Life bookstores in Schroon Lake, New York and Florida.

Scholarships awarded to local students

SCHROON LAKE — Joel Friedman, Adirondack Marathon race director, has announced four area students have each been awarded a $2,000 scholarship to support the continuing of their education.

“This is the ninth year the committee has been able to recognize the achievements of the local graduates and we hope to be able to continue this tradition for the foreseeable future,” Friedman said.

The Peter M. Gushee Memorial Scholarship has been awarded to Mitchell Beers of Schroon Lake. Beers is a recent graduate of the Schroon Lake Central School where he was a member of the National Honor Society and the National Technical Honor Society. He was very active in school athletics and was the varsity soccer team captain. He was also active in student government, chorus and a number of community service activities. Beers will continue his education at Brandeis University.

Christiaan Van Nispen has been awarded the Michael W. Terri Memorial Scholarship. He lives in Chestertown and recently graduated from North Warren High School. He will attend Boston College in the fall.

Clare Whitney of Schroon Lake is the recipient of the Thomas F. Williford Memorial Scholarship. She is a recent graduate of the Schroon Lake Central School where she was recognized as the salutatorian of her class. A member of the National Honor Society, a student government representative, Whitney also participated in soccer, basketball, band and theater. Active in the Mission of Hope, she has made several visits to Nicaragua to work with poor children and their families. She will attend the University of Pennsylvania and enter its nursing program.

The Daniel J. Perry Honorary Scholarship has been awarded to Ryan Olson of Brant Lake and the North Warren High School.

breaking in the fall, but Graham was far from OK,” she continued. “He was flown down to Albany Medical where he was incubated and remained unconscious. He sustained a traumatic brain injury and a broken back.”

Doctors did not expect Graham to make a full recovery.

“What was so heart wrenching about our story to people is that I was not given good news about his recovery,” Randi said.

“I was told he may be able to one day breathe on his own, but that would be about it.”

Graham was in a coma for three weeks.

“And then he started to do something no one thought he would do—he started to open his eyes,” Randi said. “He was transported to Sunnyview Rehabilitation hospital where he had to learn how to do everything all over again — breathe, swallow, chew, sit up, balance, move his limbs and eventually walk.”

After seven weeks of rehabilitation, Graham returned home.

He eventually returned to his job at Mountain Petroleum in Schroon Lake.

“He has double vision and has to wear glasses to help with that,” Randi said of Graham’s current condition. “His depth perception is bad, causing balance issues at times. His left side was most affected from it, his arm doesn’t quite flex and bend like it used to. And he has memory issues.”

Helping Randi and Graham through the ordeal was their community.

“The community and church were so supportive,” Randi said.

“Everyone here knows Graham and our family, and I couldn’t be more proud of them. Our local church in Olmstedville, Grace Bible Fellowship with Pastor Chad Haneman, led the way by truly showing Christ to everyone around them. They made us meals, watched my kids, gave monetarily to us, organized fund raisers, sent me cards and letters, visited me in the ICU. Mostly they prayed for me, which was huge.”

Also helping Randi cope was a blog she started to chronicle her husband’s recovery. That blog became the basis of her book.

“We all have a story to tell,” Randi said. “We all have the possibility of facing hard times, it’s just when and how it will look personally. After my husband, Graham, was injured, the out-

Bulwagga Bay project set for 2013 completion Engineer selected; bids being prepared

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Work to save the Bulwagga Bay shoreline will be completed in 2013.

“It has to be done,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “The town board can’t sit back and let that shoreline erode. It’s a black and white issue; there’s no gray area. It has to be done.

“It’s a huge revenue source for the community,” he said of Bulwagga Bay. “It’s the most important piece of real estate the town owns. We can’t sit by and watch it disappear.”

The town board has selected AES Northeast of Plattsburgh to prepare an engineering plan for the project. AES was the low bidder at $29,501.

Once the engineering plans are complete, the town will seek construction bids with work expected to begin this fall with completion by the end of the year.

The town-owned beach and campsite on Lake Champlain is being damaged by Lake Champlain

erosion. Without action the public beach and 175-site campground will be lost.

“We’re losing 6 to 10 feet of beach a year,” Scozzafava said. “We’re losing the beach; we’re losing the campground.”

The shoreline has moved back 25 to 40 feet since 1995, according to the Adirondack Park Agency.

Realizing the problem three years ago, local leaders secured permits from the Adirondack Park Agency, the state Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build three revetments made of half-ton rocks reaching into Lake Champlain to combat the erosion. The revetments are 4,080, 4,110 and 4,670 square feet in size, and the beach end of each will be enveloped in landscaped trees and shrubs.

Those permits expire at the end of 2013, so the project must be completed this year.

The Bulwagga Bay erosion project is expected to cost $350,000.

“We’re on the clock to complete this project,” Scozzafava said. “Those permits expire this year and we have to finish the work.”

Bulwagga Bay generated $302,000 in revenue for the town in 2012, Scozzafava said. The $120,000 profit

is being used to off-set 2013 local taxes.

The campsite remains popular. This summer 160 of the 175 sites have been leased for the season.

“Most campers today settle in for the season,” Scozzafava said. “Seasonals are our bread and butter.”

The campsite has already lost 10 lakefront campsites to erosion, Scozzafava said. That’s $20,000 a year in revenue.

The supervisor also pointed out the campground and beach have economic impact on the business community. Ò The people at the campsite and beach stop at stores, restaurants, gas stations,” Scozzafava said.

“They spend money in the community.

“Bulwagga Bay is important to our local economy,” he added. “It attracts tourists, it provides local jobs and it plays a role in our economic development.”

After the project is finished it will require annual monitoring of erosion and water levels on the beach.

The town will be allowed to fill in — or “re-nourish” — areas above the revetments where any erosion takes place.

Cheney Mountain photo wins contest

MORIAH — Barbara Richards of Salt Lake City, Utah, always wanted to visit the Adirondacks, but she didn’t know anybody there.

That didn’t deter her from hopping on a train, getting off in Port Henry, and walking into the Collins Motel where she met Janet Denney, Rita Collins and Lynda Smythe. Several days later, the new friends hiked the nearby Cheney Mountain Trail where Denney took a picture that tied for first place in the inaugural Champlain Area Trails Photo and Caption Contest. Her picture shows the view and her caption describes a chance encounter which allowed a “stranger to become a friend.”

The other first place winner was Aran Voss Hutchins of Westport, who captured a Snowberry Clearwing Moth on the Black Kettle Nature Trail in Essex. She first thought the moth was the largest bumblebee she had ever seen. It was 3-4 inches long, perched in the grass, and was just “one of these little jewels we are so lucky to have all around us if we take the time to look.”

The two winners split the $250 first place prize.

Chris Maron, executive director for CATS, awarded the prizes to these two winners along with the People’s Choice prize of $100 to Melissa Maki, of Willsboro.

Maki’s photo of her three dogs, perched on a log along a CATS trail was accompanied by a poem describing how people and their pets can enjoy exploring the area’s woods and meadows.

CATS held the photo contest, along with the previous travel writing contests with the purpose of promoting economic vitality through outdoor recreation based tourism.

“People research vacation destinations online, so as they look into visiting the northeast, we want them to see articles and pictures about New York’s Champlain Valley and get inspired to come here, enjoy the outdoors, patronize local businesses, and tell others about this beautiful area,” Maron said. “We are grateful to the J.C. Kellogg Foundation for underwriting this contest.”

The Week in Sports

Hague event attracts triathletes

HAGUE — HITS Triathlon Series offered one of the most challenging courses of their series in Hague June 29. Touted as the hardest course in the country by full distance winner Adam Folts, 27, of Phoenix, Arizona, he still admitted it with a smile.

“These courses were some of the most scenic I have ever seen,” he added.

In typical endurance sports fashion athletes, including Folts, embraced the hills and begged for a round two HITS North Country Triathlon in 2014.

“The swim was the best I have had and the sweeping corners in between three great climbs on the bike were great,” Folts said.

“This race was certainly worth the trip.”

Folts flew to Detroit from Arizona Friday and drove the nine and a half hours from Michigan to New York Friday afternoon before swimming, biking and running 140.6 miles Saturday morning. Folts finished with a time of 10 hour, 1 minute, 49 seconds — one of his best performances to date on a difficult course.

“I do triathlon because it’s such a family-oriented sport and

HITS promotes that aspect well. My wife is a triathlete also and she will be with me when I race at [HITS] Palm Springs,” said Folts.

Marie-Claude Ayotte, 34, from Quebec led the women in the Sprint distance race Sunday. She crossed the line in 1:30:26.

“This was my first overall win and a great experience,” she said. “There were a lot of hills on the bike, but I loved every mile – the bike is my strongest part and this was one of my favorite courses.”

After competing in triathlons for two years, this weekend marked the first time Marie-Claude stood at the top of the podium.

“I loved this race – it was a complete package,” she said.

The event attracted 379 athletes.

Jim Cunningham Jr., a Ti High graduate now living in Ithaca, finished third overall in the spring event.

They were the host site, along with help-

ing direct runners along the race route and manning the water station.

“HPHPC thanks the hospice volunteers for their help with timing/finish line spotting, registration, and the food table,” she said. “Cookies and prize pies were home baked and donated by hospice volunteers.”

Ti, Moriah players named all stars

The road going past the most important camp building, the outhouse!

Light at the end of the tunnel

T

he last few years before I retired, I would see a bunch of guys at my morning coffee stop and I would mention I had two years to go, and then the countdown was to one year, with retirement in sight. Some of the guys would say: “you won’t be happy retired, you’ll get bored, there’s nothing to do.”

Since I retired, my feet have been in high gear doing anything and everything. I am so busy I don’t have time to get bored. Besides my wildlife, conservation and grazing management consulting business, I am working on my 50-acre woodlot, fi xing up the roads, installing an outhouse, repairing an old log cabin, and trying to manage the woodlot that was cut off about fi ve years ago.

Managing a woodlot is an adventure. You need to be part

By Rich Redman forester, part road builder and part wildlife management artist. One other skill needed is not being afraid of hard physical work, especially on hot steamy days, like we have had lately. With all the talk about diabetes and health problems these days I think we need to get more people off their butts. They need to start cutting and chopping down trees, splitting and stacking fi rewood. That is one sure way to burn off that extra energy, get in better shape, and have fuel to warm your cabin in the winter.

That’s my prescription for day! Hard physical work and lots of water cleans the body, and the mind! You will have no trouble sleeping either; guaranteed!

I have been hauling gravel to the property to get my main haul and access road usable so I can get to the cabin and prepare for the upcoming hunting season. My pickup, dump trailer and small 30 HP New Holland tractor, are doing the work. The loads are not large using the dump trailer, but they are getting the job done. One by one, potholes and spongy spots on the old road are slowly being repaired and restored for vehicle use. Culverts will be replaced where the old ones were damaged by the previous logging operation. The cabin will be ready, fi rewood cut and the main road in good shape by fall.

Once I get the roads completed, it’s time to start the woodlot management aspect of forest ownership. I have a background in soils, conservation and forestry, so I will do my own timber cruise and management plan, but I am also bringing in a few friends who are foresters and/or sawmill operators by profession to give me some advice, and hopefully some tips on markets and timber values. You learn more by shutting up and listening than by yacking away constantly.

As I have mentioned previously, a man must know his limitations.

The woodlot has hemlock, white cedar, red maple, white pine, balsam fi r, some sugar maple and other species. I should be able to supply a farm or two with cedar fence posts, and have the larger diameter ones milled out for boards.

First comes grading and shaping the skidder haul roads, then the salvage work, cleaning up downed trees that were left behind, or blown over by the storms and thinning as I go. My goal is to be able to drive around all the roads on my tractor to harvest fi rewood and forest products so I can offset the taxes and recover fuel costs and other associated costs of forest management. I will be managing on a tree by tree basis, where I will evaluate what will be cut and what will be left based on future use. The few sugar maples I have will be managed for maple sugar production in the future. I will open up around them by thinning and doing improvement cuts so they branch out and develop a full spreading crown. They may not make good saw logs but the added branching will produce maple sap for sugar production in the future. Existing openings will be managed for early successional habitat and browse for deer. Wild apple trees will be planted and in time crab apples will provide grouse some chow.

The timber species will be managed for saw logs as much as possible. Managing a woodlot is no different than grandma weeding out her garden. You take out the inferior species, the poor quality and allow the strong and healthy to survive. I will cull out or weed out my forest garden and let the strong healthy trees grow and thin out inferior and crowded species for timber, fi rewood, pulp for the paper mill or fence posts. Some culled softwood will be used for outdoor wood stoves to heat homes.

This piece of property is no jewel. It needs lots of work and in time it will be something. As long as our hearts are pumping blood and our lungs take in cool forest air, my wife Diane and I will manage the property with the future in mind. We may not see the benefi ts of a deer eating those apples or grouse feeding on crabs, but our kids and grandkids will.

I may be compost by the time all those young trees get to maturity, but those two young boys will soon be young men and they will have a sweet spot to hunt, a forest to manage and an opportunity. Now is the time to start teaching them and make sure they do things right.

The main access road is almost done. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so working on the forest management aspect comes next, and that is the fun part.

Managing your woodlot is like working in your garden, it can supply you food, an income and keep you healthy in body and mind. Remember to do things safely, get the proper chainsaw safety and felling training before you run a saw. An injury can easily ruin your day. You don’t want to let the saw cull you out of life’s existence!
