Castleton prof to be honored By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress @denpubs.com CASTLETON „ You donÍ t hear much about the lives of Vermont college professors after hours, but if Castleton College Professor Lillian Jackson is any indication, faculty members are working their magic on the lives of young people behind the scenes, too. Jackson, who teaches social work at Castleton, has quietly worked to help Rutland Dismas House which offers transitional housing to men and women coming out of prison. As Jackson describes it, Dismas HouseÍ s mission is to ñ reconcile prisoners with society and society with prisoners.î To honor Jackson for her efforts in realizing Dismas House’s difficult mission, she will receive the Rutland Dismas HouseÍ s Mary OÍ Award next month. Dismas House is located 103 Park Ave., in Rutland. The award will be presented to Jackson at the 23rd Annual Rutland Dismas House Benefit Dinner and Auction Sunday, June 9, at the Holiday Inn in Rutland. Jackson has been involved with Dismas House from the start. ñ Lillian has supervised many of the student interns who have come to Dismas over the years,î said Valerie Page, who is co-director of Dismas House along with Terese Black.

Work continues on Charlotte bridge By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com CHARLOTTE „ The historic circa-1849 QuinlanÍ s Covered Bridge is getting a much needed facelift this spring and summer. The $872,000 renovation project began during the first week off March. The heavily traveled bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge, also known as either the Lower Lewis Creek Covered Bridge or Sherman Covered Bridge, is located in rural Charlotte. It spans Lewis Creek just off Spear Street Extension on Monkton Road in southern Chittenden County. The multiple names of the bridge have a curious history: Quinlan, according to state historical records, is linked to John Quinlan who lived nearby; the Sherman family also lived in the neighborhood and owned and operated a large sawmill. The Sherman mill stood along the creek near the bridge during the 1800s. Motorists are being detoured a long distance, via North Ferrisburgh, in order to cross Lewis Creek during the construction project. While an inconvenience to residents and tourists for the time bring, the bridge is expected to reopen to traffic in August. Wright Construction of Mt. Holly, Vt., a firm which specializes in covered-bridge CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

MIDDLEBURY „ Bud Smith has always had a taste for coffee. His long-percolating passion for all things relating to the evergreen coffea bush took off with the dawning of the new millenium. Around the Middlebury area, SmithÍ s cottage coffee roasting business, called BudÍ s BeansÍ Cocka-doodle Brew, is getting “high fives” from fussy java drinkers. SmithÍ s in-home business, located in a 19th-century carriage behind a former estate home on Main Street in downtown Middlebury, is where ñ Mr. Coffeeî roasts, packages and distributes heavenly artisan coffees. SmithÍ s delicious offerings come from exotic, far-away places such as Guatemala, Brazil, Indonesia, and elsewhere. Smith selects and buys his special coffee beans, in bulk, via coffee brokers. But heÍ s also a little bit like El Exigente, ñ the demanding oneî , a choosy, fictional Columbian coffee buyer who appeared in T.V. commercials for Savarin Coffee 50 years ago.

Letter to the Editor Rotary Club flag project
To the editor: The Middlebury Rotary Club is launching its Flag Raising Project to promote patriotism and raise funds for charitable use in our community. We invite you to join your neighbors in displaying the American flag in front of your residence or business on Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Veterans Day.
In exchange for an annual $50 subscription fee, our club will place one of its 3’ x 5’ flags on a 10Í pole and insert it into a short section of pipe which is driven into the ground so that it will not interfere with regular lawn maintenance. The flags will be placed at sunrise and removed at sunset for storage until the next holiday. Seeing these flags on both sides of your street will truly be an impressive sight and local charities will be selected
annually to benefit from your generosity and patriotism. This year the project will support the Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association and Homeward Bound (the Addison County Humane Society). For more information, please contact us at crowsnestvt@comcast.net. Cathy F. Trudel Middlebury Rotary Club Middlebury

PITTSFORD „ Losing a pet is a very emotional thing. ItÍ s really important that all animals have identification so they can be returned to their owners. An I.D. tag on your petÍ s collar is the easiest method. The tag should include your name, address, telephone number and the petÍ s name. If thereÍ s extra space, the phone number of the veterinarian is also a good idea. If you move, make sure you get a new tag for your animal with your new contact information. Pets can also be microchipped. Many humane societies and veterinarians have a scanner which identifies if an animal has a microchip. If thereÍ s a microchip, a phone call is made to identify the owner. Either way, please take a moment and check that your favorite pet has

Jim Cleaveland and his merry men Second terms and three strikes
Y
ouÍ re never too old to adopt a superhero as your very own. My guy has always been Zorro, the fictional character of books, movies, and television, created by Johnston McCulley back in 1919. Zorro„ the Fox„ was the alter ego of foppish Don Diego de la Vega, a Spanish nobleman of Alta California in the 1800s. In his masked Zorro disguise, de la Vega fought the tyrannical, greedy Mexican government in the waning days of the old Californios. There are many superheroes of fiction and legend. Robin Hood was the original„ a superhero outlaw dating back to 14th century England folklore. Robin Hood, and his band of merry thieves, are best known for robbing from the rich and giving back to the poor. But today, superheroes donÍ t have to be masked; in fact, any man or woman„ you, me„ can become a superhero via simple, yet defiant acts of kindnesses, or righting of injustices. Modern superheroes donÍ t have to wear masks, shoot arrows, or inscribe ñ ZÍ sî on adobe walls with swords. While I will always love Zorro, I have a new, 21st century superhero. HeÍ s a New England working stiff„ a 26-year-old New Hampshire guy named Jim Cleaveland. On New YearÍ s Eve last, Cleaveland„ just like a modern day Robin Hood„ made up his mind to nonviolently right some municipal injustices in the City of Keene. Cleaveland, a political libertarian (he believes government was created to serve the people, not the other way around), resolved, as a Keene Sentinel news report described it, ñ to do all he could to keep police in the City of Keene from issuing parking tickets.î Cleaveland gathered a band of merry friends to canvass downtown streets of Keene with lots of pocket change. He and his men decided to keep feeding downtown parking meters in order to prevent parking tickets from being issued. Deciding that five bucks a pop for an overtime parking-meter ticket was nothing more than a big municipal government racket, Jim “Robin Hood” Cleaveland decided to fight City Hall. The parking meter thing, Cleaveland decided, and I believe rightfully, is a crooked, little, legalized police-state scam. Parked cars downtown are ticketed just as the meterÍ s red tag pops up or even before, some claim. From the outside looking in, CleavelandÍ s gesture of kind heartedness looks extremely innocent„ ah, but not so for the Sheriff of Nottingham and his three meter maids, er, parking enforcement officers. Keene Police Department officials are not the least bit happy with Cleaveland’s “Robin Hoodingî . They are going after New HampshireÍ s Robin Hood in court. Typical, isnÍ t it? The Keene Sentinel reported last week that “(the city) filed suit in state court against him and five others seeking a restraining order to keep them at least 50 feet from parking enforcement officers.” Hell hath no fury like a government scorned, especially when its stream of revenue dries up. According to the city lawsuit, CleavelandÍ s band of monkeywrenchers prevented the issuance of over 2,000 parking tickets. Police claim intimidation, etc., from the gang of Keene merry men. One of CleavelandÍ s merry men is Garrett Ean, 24. Ean told a Keene Sentinel reporter that he has been pumping $15 a day into downtown parking meters in order to save motorists from getting tickets. If you are one of the lucky ones to have been saved by the efforts of Cleaveland and his merry men, you will find a simple calling card left under the arm of the driver side windshield wiper— î Your Meter Expired! However, we saved you from the kingÍ s tariff! „ Signed, Robin Hood & The Merry Men.î Very cool. CleavelandÍ s tiny act of civil disobedience has a mean-spirited city government in an uproar. Who knew a gnat could irritate a well-armored rhino? Cleaveland is but one everyman flipping the fickle finger of fate in the face of bully government. ñ Such outlaws as he and his men Will New England never see again.î Lou Varricchio

Bigfoot makes a giant impression in Rutland By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND TOWN „ A six-foot-tall, Bigfoot statue is making a special appearance at Garden Time in Rutland Town this month. And customers are loving it. The richly detailed, 147-pound life-like outdoor sculpture is composed of a poly-resin material which resembles bronze. This work-of-art is hand made and hand painted; it sports a personality along with enormous feet and hands, and eerily lifelike eyes. Commissioned by Design Toscano, an upscale U.S. designer home and garden decor company, this garden yeti is a real collectible with a limited production run. You can get up close and personal with the legendary beast in the Garden Time greenhouse which is located along U.S. Route 7, just north of the Rutland City line. ñ WeÍ re asking folks to visit us and help us name Bigfoot,î said Andy Probst, the retailerÍ s manager. ñ We ordered the big statue at the 2012 Chicago Industrial Garden Show last August. It was delivered to us in December, but we didnÍ t get around to uncrating it until last week.î Probst said Bigfoot is bolted temporarily to the greenhouse floor where it has quickly become the commanding figure among the retailerÍ s human shoppers. Probst admits that the gender of the gentle giant„ known in the Northwest as Sasquatch and in the North Country by its Abenaki name, Wejua (wee-jew-ah)„ is unknown at this time, but thatÍ s where customers will play a part. ñ We have blank paper forms which customers are welcome
to fill out and suggest their name for Bigfoot. We’ve had some pretty good ones,î Probst noted. ñ But we wonÍ t reveal them until next month.î Probst said the official name of Bigfoot will be announced June 1. The ñ uncontestî winner wonÍ t receive a single thing for the name, just the satisfaction of having had some fun and getting in the garden spotlight. Of course, the legendary Bigfoot creature is no stranger to the Rutland region. ThatÍ s why Probst said he wanted to add the beast to the shopÍ s garden accessory selection. The apelike beast, often linked to the extinct giant ape known as Gigantopithecus, has been spotted by in Rutland County since before Samuel de Champlain became the first European to visit the region. Locally, believers claim Bigfoot„ Wejua„ lives in tangled wood and marsh lands along the Poultney River. Also, nearby Whitehall, N.Y., is the locale for the most famous sighting of the beast in the North Country. The 1976 Whitehall sighting was dramatized recently on an episode of the T.V. show ñ Animal Planetî . To have some fun for a good cause, Bigfoot will be the star of Garden Time’s Ladies Night, a wine-tasting event to benefit Hope Lodge of Vermont, Friday, May 17, 4-8 p.m. The event includes a raffle and customers wearing something pink will receive a 10 percent discount on all garden items. In case you really want this Bigfoot statue all for yourself, Probst said heÍ s„ or sheÍ s?„ for sale. For just $2,499.99, Garden Time will wrap up Bigfoot and help you get it out to the car„ somehow.

Bud’s Beans from page 1
A coffee broker will roam the docks of tropical ports in search of the best products produced by local coffee plantations; it takes a trained eye and sophisticated palette to choose from a wide variety of beans that will produce a beverage SmithÍ s local customers canÍ t live without. Smith, a friendly entrepreneur and businessman, is well known around Addison County. He owned and operated BudÍ s Cash Market on MiddleburyÍ s Court Street during the 1960s and later Otter Creek Grocery„ now Small City Market„ in Vergennes during the 1990s. After a full life working as a grocer, landlord, car wash owner (Laser Wash on Creek Road in Middlebury), and realtor, Smith wanted to finally indulge his passion for the planet earth’s favorite berry„ the coffee bean. The love affair began in earnest 15 years ago during a family visit to Mexico. ñ My daughter, Rebecca Hall, was living in Texas and we took a bus trip together to Mexico, down into the State of Coahuila,î he said. ñ In those days, you didnÍ t have to worry as much about your safety. Anyhow, I was interested in starting an import business, so I kept my eyes open and ear tuned for new ideas.î As Smith describes it, the idea of becoming a coffee roaster occurred to him while visiting the city of Saltillo in the Chihuahuan Desert. ñ Visiting some shops there, we came upon a small coffeeroasting operation,î he said. ñ It looked very fun. Later, I bought
a small, home coffee roaster that was made in the USA. It was really like a popcorn popper. YouÍ d lift up the lid and to stir the green coffee beans.î Smith explained that the familiar dark, roasted coffee beans we see in stores look nothing like fresh picked beans„ correctly, berries„ which are tiny and pale green in color. ñ During the roasting process, the beans swell up and take on the roasted nut color,î he noted. Smith learned coffee roasting the hard way„ by trial and error and reading lots of books on the topic. ñ There was more error than trial,î he joked. By 1999, Smith acquired a coffee roaster built by Tony Desitel of Salisbury. ñ I puttered around wit this roaster for a few years,î he said. ñ I roasted about 1.5 pounds at a time and then would sell the product to friends and neighbors only.î Eventually, Smith purchased his current roasting machine, a professional device built by the Diedrich Coffee Roaster Co. of Idaho. ñ Americans make an excellent coffee roaster,î he noted. ñ This is small by the standards of big coffee roasters, but itÍ s perfect for artisan coffee roasters such as myself.î Now semi retired, the 70-year-old Smith likes his cottage business because it doesnÍ t consume his entire life and keeps him out of the rat race. BudÍ s Beans is also good for his marriage„ his wife Debbie is his expert taster and together the couple like to figure out what the local customers will enjoy. Smith has found success by keep-

According to Joe Poston, senior project manager at Wright Construction, the roof was lifted two feet in order for construction workers to replace the spanÍ s top chord. ñ WeÍ re replacing the bridgeÍ s top and bottom chords as well as the wooden truss,î Poston said. ñ In addition were replacing the bottom steel beams„ which were installed during the 1970s„ with heavy duty galvanized steel beams. With these new beams, the bridge will be able to safely support school buses and town trucks.î Rebuilding venerable New England covered bridges is old hat for Wright Construction. In 2011, the skilled Rutland County firm restored the Gifford Covered Bridge in Randolph, Vt. At the same itÍ s working on the Charlotte bridge, a company team is renovating what is known as the Mother of New England Covered Bridges, the nearly 400-foot-long, historic Bath Village Bridge in New Hampshire.

On Wednesday I take the day off. On Thursday I take orders. On Friday I do a few more deliveries. I donÍ t work Saturday and Sunday, then repeat the cycle again come Monday.î Smith finds coffee roasting to be a delicate blend of both art and science. Like a lab scientist, he keeps a written log of the many weekly roasts so that tastes can be repeated again and again; he will also try new ones. The art is in being creative with the type of beans purchased and marketing the business, even though Smith has no intention to expand beyond Middlebury. ñ I am happy to keep it local, keep it small,î he noted. We wondered if MiddleburyÍ s ñ Mr. Coffeeî was always wired on caffeine. ñ Actually, I donÍ t drink a lot of coffee,î Smith revealed. ñ But thereÍ s nothing better than savoring an excellent cup of coffee„ and youÍ ll know it when you taste it. ThatÍ s what I try to do with BudÍ s Beans.î Check It Out: BudÍ s Beans are available only in Middlebury and Vergennes. To buy the beans in Vergennes, visit Small City Market.

Teen raises funds for armored police-dog vest By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs. com VERGENNES „ Thirteenyear-old Annie Jackson, a student at Vergennes Union High School, has an interest in dogs and law enforcement. Like many teens with developing career interests, she wants to know as much about her passions as she possibly can. AnnieÍ s two interests merged recently when her 8th grade class was challenged to produce a capstone research project. The teen decided to learn about police dogs, known as K-9 units, and what their needs are both in and out of the field-of-duty. In addition to preparing a research paper, Annie decided to raise funds for a bulletproof synthetic dog vest for the Vergennes Police DepartmentÍ s K-9 unit, a dog named Akido. Annie set an $800 goal, the cost of the special vest, and enlisted family, friends, and local businesses to help. The team made various donations for a community vest raffle. She planned the raffle after she collected enough donated items to raise the needed funds for the armored vest. The teenÍ s parents Dianne and Steve Jackson, managers of RiverÍ s Edge Cottages and Campground, and grandmother Lynn Jackson Donnelly, got involved early as Annie amassed an impressive list of prizes. Covering one end of the Little City to another, Annie collected an interesting list of raffle prizes—items such as local gift cards from restaurants,

hair stylists, realtors, handmade items, and other items were included; even the VUHS Sewing Club, headed up by teacher Deb White, donated a student-made quilt. Recently, Annie awarded the raffle prizes and the $800 collected was presented to
Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel„ enough to cover the purchase of a level-three, bullet-proof Kevlar K-9 vest. As a special thank you to Annie, and a tip of the hat to her burgeoning interest in law enforcement and the art and science of training and
maintaining police dogs, Chief Merkel is bringing the teen along to the Vermont Police Academy in Pittsford. There she will see a police K-9 training session up close. ñ I canÍ t wait,î Annie said. ñ I learned a lot about law enforcement, K-9 units, and the community while working on this project.î WhatÍ s next for Annie, who can accomplish things when she sets her mind to it? Her plans are to study hard and continue to pursue a course of study that will someday merge her two great passions„ dogs and law enforcement.

Team “greensup ” resort for spring

LUDLOW „ Okemo Mountain Resort commemorated Vermont Green Up Day May 16. Staff members donned blue latex gloves and, with trash bags in hand, scoured the Resort for litter. Separating into pairs and small groups, employees dispersed along roadways, around the base areas and up the mountain, under lift lines and along lower-mountain ski trails. OkemoÍ s Green Up Day is an annual event. Employees spend the morning picking up trash and then gather for a barbecue lunch, courtesy of Okemo, to discuss some of their greatest and strangest finds. “In addition to the benefits of keeping Okemo beautiful,” said Okemo Vice President and General Manager Bruce Schmidt, ñ Green Up Day is a community project that emphasizes teamwork by bringing staff from different departments together in a way to make the Okemo team even stronger.î ñ My wife told me to come home tonight with some treasure,î quipped Jackson Gore Inn Assistant General Manager John Boehrer. The only thing of value he found during OkemoÍ s Green Up Day was a nickel. Loose change was the extent of the treasure found during the resort-wide clean up. OkemoÍ s I.T. department traveled as a team and collectively found 75 cents and a metal fork. Group Sales Director Brian Halligan found $1.45 in change, a ski pole and something that looked like part of a wedding veil, under the chairlift at Jackson Gore. Okemo Vice President of Development and Real Estate Ted Reeves was the big winner with a find of more than $3 in change and a half-dozen golf balls that he found while patrolling under the tracks of the Timber Ripper Mountain Coaster and around LumberinÍ Cal Miniature Golf Course in OkemoÍ s Adventure Zone. Okemo Owner Tim Mueller found lots of handwarmers and a few crushed beverage cans beneath the lifts in OkemoÍ s Clock Tower Base area.
Okemo cleans up: “In addition to the benefits of keeping Okemo beautiful,” said Okemo Vice President and General Manager Bruce Schmidt, “Green Up Day is a community project that emphasizes teamwork by bringing staff from different departments together in a way to make the Okemo team even stronger.” Photo courtesy of Bonnie MacPherson

The author with an Ausable River brown trout.
Fly fishing prairie guys
T
hey say the early bird gets the worm. It should read: ñ The early riser gets the bird,î and hopefully that birdÍ s a turkey, but for me, I think the ñ birdî is all IÍ m getting, so to speak! Gobblers have not been in my play book so far this year. So far! Not one to get into a state of despair, I have altered hunting strategies and tactics. I temporarily hung up the old Remington Model 11, 12-gauge shotgun By Rich Redman I borrowed, and armed myself with an Orvis Access 6 weight fly rod. Yes, Orvis is expensive, but I have connections in all the right places, at least the right places that I think count as the right places. Thank you G.J.! Orvis is a local company headquartered in Manchester Vt, so if I have a problem, I can go right to the source, and donÍ t have to deal with catalogs and sending stuff back. I have no patience for all that. Remington is also a local company for now. The governorÍ s so-called Safe Act may drive them out of New York. That would be a loss of more than 1,000 well-paying jobs, not so safe for the workers, and a stab in the back to the local Mohawk Valley communities. Texas is very interested in having them relocate to their area. Anyway, IÍ ll go back to gobblers when the rain quits. At least thatÍ s my thinking at the moment. I like to hunt after a rain, when the birds are out foraging. With the warm weather and lack of spring rains, the stream temperatures are getting near perfect; the mid to upper 50Í s or low 60Í s. The fish are getting active and will soon be rising to mayfly, caddis and stonefly hatches. The action is starting on the Ausable River near Wilmington now. Yes, the fish are taking some flies on the Ausable River right now. Jerry Bottcher of the Hungry Trout Inn told me: ñ When the apple tree out front blooms, it’s time for the dry flies.” His apple tree is just starting to bloom, along with the shadbush and hobblebush! So I guess we have at least three vegetative indicators of when dry fly fishing starts! The Hendrickson (Ephemerella) hatch should be starting later this week. Not being one to wait, I tried my luck at a nice pool. Initially I started with a red bodied bead head nymph and started dredging the pool. I took a 9-inch brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) on that. After an hour or so, around 3 p.m., and after trying a few flies that I thought would bring a strike, I changed tactics. No fish were rising and taking dries, but I like to throw a curve ball out once in a while and see what happens. The way I figure it, if a steak sandwich with gravy and mashed potatoes floats by, why bother with bologna. The fish took the dry fly as it was swept downstream and started to swing. By that time the dry was getting wet, so the fish may have thought it was a mayfly starting to emerge from its nymphal shuck. I caught the fish, a beautiful 14-inch brown trout (Salmo trutta). The trout took one of my hand-tied dry flies; my own creation. I carefully released it after we both posed for a photo op of course. While I was fishing I met three guys from Calgary Canada who were staying in Lake Placid for a veterinary medicine conference. They rented some waders and tackle from Tom Conway at the Two Fly Shop in Wilmington. They had an assortment of flies and were out whipping the water. One fellow never fly fished before so I worked with him, gave him a couple of my special home grown flies and let him whip away. He was the one who took the photo of me with the fish. Fly fishing folks swap or share flies with other fly guys. Worm guys donÍ t. Being from the flat prairie country of Canada, they were impressed with the beauty of the Adirondacks. I was up in the Canadian prairies so I know what the terrain is like. Canadian wheat and flat paprika colored plains. There are miles and miles of flat, to gently rolling wheat fields and prairie. Prairie is French for grassland. Those fly fishing prairie guys hope to return to our mountains someday. Many people donÍ t realize the economic importance hunting and fishing brings to our area. This is a marvelous area and we need to promote more fishing and hunting opportunities. Habitat management, whether it involves the forest, fields or streams is important, and the only place we can do that is on private land. State forest lands within the Adirondack Park are off limits for management, based on the State Constitution. This is very controversial even among the foresters and wildlife biologists who work for the state of New York. There should be a land classification of “Managed Forestî so wildlife management can be done to help with early successional diversity on state lands. Its Mother’s Day week, so take your Mother fishing, buy her a steak sandwich with mashed potatoes and lots of gravy and enjoy life! Happy MotherÍ s Day to all you moms out there.

The still waters of an Adirondack pond can be transformed into frothing waves and pounding surf within a moment’s notice. Extremes of weather often complement the extreme beauty of this land.
A year’s worth of weather, in a week
I
t certainly has been an interesting week to be in the woods. I spent a few days fishing, on both the ponds and the rivers and the remainder of my time was devoted to arranging details for an LL Bean photo shoot. The Bean photo shoot crew encountered an interesting mix of Adirondack weather patterns. There was brilliant sunshine, calm waters and 75 degree temperatures on one day, and the next day delivered raging winds, horizontal snow and whitecaps that were so heavy the crew was almost washed off the docks. The groupÍ s photographer, who hails from California, claimed he had suffered through a four seasonÍ s worth of extreme weather in less than a weekÍ s time. And then there were the black flies! “Nobody warned us about the black flies,” he complained. ñ We wore these silly nets which only served to trap them closer to your scalp. One bite and youÍ d bleed forever, and it would itch like crazy.î ñ And then there was the weather!î he sighed. ñ We had a yearÍ s worth of extremes in just seven days, with sun and heat one day followed by horizontal rain and 20 degrees the next.î ñ IÍ ve never seen anything like it. It went from summer to winter in less than 24 hours! I was watching this storm come across the lake, and it looked like rain. But then I saw it was snow, and then, the whole place went white instantly. I was not happy.î ñ Welcome to the Adirondacks,î I offered, ñ a land of extremes.î Despite a wealth of welts, plenty of frozen fingers and a
mess of wind tossed hair, the crew actually managed to make it through the entire week, all alive and frostbite free, and they got enough good shots to produce their entire fall catalog. Even though there were propane heaters blowing hot air on the set the whole time, hair stylists were reduced to using blow dryers to keep their fingers nimble. After putting up with models, props, locations, stylists and more than a few unhappy hair dressers, I couldnÍ t wait to get back on the water for a few days of fishing. Even though I had to deal with hordes of savage black flies, raging winds, driving snow, thick fog, and gale force winds that pelted us with sleet and hail, it was great to be on the water again. Over the weekend, I set off with an old guest on Lake Placid in a search for lake trout, and we managed to find a few cooperative specimens. However, with water temperatures hovering around 58 degrees, the lakers were rather disagreeable, and we only managed to pull one in the boat, before gently releasing it. However, our luck soon changed after we retreated to a small, stream where the brookies were anxious to feed. They attacked just about anything we tossed their way, and we tossed a lot of flies. The weekend of angling adventures was finally complete after we spent a few hours flycasting cork poppers to big bass that were cruising the shallow shorelines of a small, private lake. The largemouth proved to be voracious, healthy and just itching for a fight. I think they would’ve hit an old boot, if we could have figured a way to tie it one on! On the return trip back to the lodge, we stumbled upon a small tributary stream that was chuck full of large pods of marsh marigolds.

in the midst of a struggling economy. Though the economy has gradually begun to rebound, families with fresh memories are still reticent to commit to costly vacations. One of the more affordable and family-friendly vacation options is camping.

But before venturing out in the great outdoors, a family should consider the following tips to ensure their camping vacation is a swimming success. * Research the weather.

How to prepare your yard for a summer of parties
Backyard soirees are a staple of summer for many families. Whether hosting a family reunion, a gathering of friends or a mix of both, such gatherings can be a great time to reconnect with your loved ones in a relaxing and natural setting. Hosting such gatherings might not require as much work as organizing a more formal gettogether, but that doesnÍ t mean summer soirees donÍ t require a little work in advance of the guestsÍ arrival. ThatÍ s especially true if you plan to host the party outdoors in your yard, which will need a little TLC before guests arrive. The following are a few tips to get your yard ready
before your next summer soiree. * Cut the grass and clear your walkways. Cutting the grass before guests arrive might seem like common sense, but try to do so a couple of days before the party. This gives you an extra day or so to clear the walkways of grass clippings, and it saves you the trouble of cutting the grass on the day of the party when youÍ re likely to have more pressing tasks to take care of. * Decorate your yard. Decorations are a staple of parties held indoors, so why not decorate your homeÍ s exterior when hosting a get-together in the backyard? Use freshly cut flowers from your own garden as centerpieces on your patio
furniture, or purchase flowers of various colors from your local florist to add a dash or two of color to the festivities. * Clear the yard of toys. Before guests arrive, clear the yard of the kidsÍ toys, putting them away so guests donÍ t injure themselves by stepping on errant action figures or skateboards left hidden in the grass. * Trim trees and shrubs around walkways. While a backyard barbecue is less formal than a party held indoors, you still want your home to be as accommodating as possible for your guests. DonÍ t forget to trim trees and shrubs around the walkways so guests donÍ t feel like theyÍ re on safari when coming to and from the backyard. * Make sure outdoor lighting is working properly. If you’re about to host your first event of the summer, inspect your homeÍ s exterior lighting so everyone isnÍ t left sitting in the dark. Check patio lighting and replace any bulbs and make sure the lights along your walkways are functioning at full capacity so guests can safely navigate
their way around the party. You may even want to string holiday lights around the patio to create a more laid-back ambiance in which guests can relax without lights beating down on them. * Protect your guests from insects. Insects like mosquitoes can quickly turn a swinging soiree into a nuisance, so purchase some decorative citronella candles to repel mosquitoes. Tiki torches along walkways and around the patio furniture may also prove effective insect repellants. In addition, if there are any areas around your property where water has gathered, such as bird fountains or puddles from recent rains, do your best to get rid of that water. Water attracts many insects, which lay their eggs in the standing water. The less standing water around your property, the less likely any uninvited insect guests are to appear. Backyard gatherings are a staple of summer. But even if such soirees are less formal, hosts still must survey their property and address any issues before guests arrive.

Make the most of your ‘staycation’ When the economy took a turn for the worse several years ago, many families had to cut costs in order to make ends meet. For many families, that meant leaving vacations on the cutting room floor. While the economy has rebounded, uncertainty surrounding that comeback has prevailed for many families, who remain hesitant to book a traditional vacation for fear of spending money they might be better off saving. The sacrifice of traditional vacations has led many families to embrace the ñ staycation,î wherein families still take time off to be with one another but do so largely at home rather than heading off to an exotic locale or resort. A staycation is a great way for families to rediscover their own communities and spend quality time together without the hustle and bustle of airports or interstates. Families who still find themselves hesitant to commit to a more traditional vacation can heed the following tips to ensure their staycation is a success.
A staycation can still include some family fun at the beach.
Go out to dinner
Part of the fun of a family vacation is getting to enjoy some nights out on the town. But even if youÍ re not straying far from home this year, you can still enjoy the cuisine your community has to offer. Dine out a few nights during your time off, making sure to enjoy a few different restaurants instead of relying on one your family frequents throughout the year. Dining out on a weeknight will create the feel of a more traditional vacation, and you might just find a new restaurant you and your family love and can revisit in the years to come.
Absorb the local culture
The daily grind has a way of making life hectic, and chances are you and your family donÍ t get to enjoy your own communityÍ s culture throughout the year. Take advantage of the time afforded you by your staycation to soak up all the culture and recreational
activities your community has to offer. Visit nearby museums, take in a performance at your local theater or explore a nearby park, be it for a day of hiking or a more laid back picnic in the sun. This can help everyone reacquaint themselves with the reasons you chose to settle down in your community.
Go camping
Just because youÍ re having a staycation doesnÍ t mean you have to stay home. Spend a few nights away from home by taking the family on a camping trip. The fee to stay at a nearby campsite is negligible when compared to the cost of hotel rooms for an entire family, and you wonÍ t spend nearly as much on food because youÍ ll need to bring your own to the campsite. Camp during the week instead of on the weekends, and you might have more of the campground to yourself.
Head for the beach
In its National Coastal Population Report examining population trends from 1970 to 2020, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that 39 percent of the United States population lived in counties directly on the shoreline. North of the United States, Canadians know they are surrounded by three oceans and have access to thousands of additional bodies of water, including the Hudson Bay, Bering Sea and Gulf of St. Lawrence. That means access to the water and the beach is readily available for Americans and Canadians who wish to spend part of their staycation with some sand between their toes and the sound of waves crashing on the shorelines in their ears. Make time to visit the beach on your staycation, and you might be able to recreate the feeling of a more traditional getaway. Staycations have become a staple for families looking to avoid expensive resort vacations. But staying close to home can still be just as fun as traveling abroad.

Great outdoor getaway ideas for guys
Weekend getaways are a great opportunity to unwind and escape the daily grind of everyday life. ThatÍ s especially true for men faced with the pressures of raising a family and maintaining a career. Such men need a break every so often, and a weekend getaway can make for the perfect respite from all of that responsibility. Many men prefer to share their weekend getaways with male friends who also could use a break. Multiple men making the trip mandates that it be planned in advance and not a lastminute affair. It also requires a little collaboration on the part of the participants, as a fun getaway for one man might seem like a chore to
another. The following are a few getaway ideas men might want to consider when looking to get away from it all.
the great outdoors. Take along a grill so you can cook up the fruits of your fishing labors each night.
Fishing Trip
Stadium Tour
A fishing trip is an ideal getaway for men who love to fish and need to relieve a little stress. Fishing is not for everyone, so make sure everyone is on board when planning a trip for your friends and yourself. The relaxing nature of spending some time on the water and catching some fish makes this the ideal getaway for men looking for a peaceful weekend to enjoy
Few getaways may pique the interest of baseball fans more than a stadium tour. Pack up the car and plan a stadium tour with your friends. Many teams are located within driving distance of one another, so itÍ s very possible men could cross a handful of stadiums off their lists in just a few days.
Hit the Links
Many men dream of spending a weekend on the golf course, and a golf getaway can make for the perfect weekend for men who love to share a few laughs on the links. Speak to a travel agent about planning a golf getaway week-
end. Chances are you can save money by packaging your airfare, accommodations and even your greens fees into a golf getaway package. Then simply hit the links and enjoy all that time relaxing in the sun. And instead of playing your typical 18 holes, play 36 instead!
Embrace Your City Slicker
If you want your getaway to be a little more fast-paced, plan a weekend with friends in a favorite city where you can enjoy nightlife, great food and a few drinks. Spend the afternoon catching a ball game or soaking up some of the cityÍ s culture before you and your friends engage in a little revelry after dark. If you and your friends will be flying in from different regions of the country, choose a centrally located city so no one has to fly too far or spend too much on airfare.

Get ready for camping season
Camping is a popular outdoor activity that attracts many enthusiasts year after year. Some people camp every month while others only have time for one great excursion into the wilderness each year. This year, millions of camping trips will take place across the country. Preparation is key to a successful camping trip. Whether campers plan to spend one night or several in the great outdoors, there are certain tips to follow to ensure your trip is as fun and safe as possible.
Gear
In order to be comfortable, stock up on camping gear. Tents, sleeping bags and other gear need not be the most expensive. Quality, moderately priced gear works well, too. With care and maintenance, camping gear can last for several years. A tent will be your first line of defense against the outdoors. Although plenty of people prefer
to sleep out under the stars, a tent is a place to avoid inclement weather and insects and have a little privacy. Your tent need not be too big, unless you plan to share it with many of your fellow campers. Since you will be spending the majority of your time outdoors, donÍ t feel pressured to buy the tent equivalent of a three-room suite. A good tent should be sturdy, weatherresistant and large enough to fit the people who will be sleeping in it during your trip. Invest in a pad to place on the floor of the tent to shield you from the hard ground. The pad will make sleeping more comfortable. If you will be sleeping during warm-weather months, you donÍ t have to worry about an expensive sleeping bag. An average-weight one will be just fine. Don’t forget to pack a pillow. A cooler filled with foods and drinks will tide you over for the trip. If you plan to cook, you will need to bring the ingredients for meals. Otherwise sandwiches should suffice. Some
campgrounds have grills and picnic tables available. Otherwise, you can cook hot dogs right over your open campfire.
Where to camp
Campsites may be public or private. Public campgrounds are generally funded by tax dollars and maintained by parks departments or government offices. They may be free to enter or charge a nominal fee for use. Because of the low cost involved, they may be quite popular and crowded during peak camping season. Private campsites are run by private companies or individuals and may also feature RV hookups. In many instances, private campsites sell memberships to interested parties, which gives access to certain private areas. They may have more amenities than public campsites. Private sites also may employ security personnel and maintenance crews to ensure the areas are clean and safe and to enforce campground
rules. This may not be the case at public campsites, where conditions may be inconsistent from site to site. An online search of both public and private campsites nearby can help you determine which option best suits you. Consider national parks, national forests and even the Army Corps of Engineers, which manages many recreational areas.
Closer isn’t always better
Many new campers make the mistake of choosing campsites that are in close proximity to bathrooms and clubhouses and other reminders of civilization. But these areas tend to feature heavy foot and car traffic and can make for a noisy experience. To avoid the lights, sounds and bustle of too many people, stick with campsites farther off the beaten path. You may need to walk a little farther, but you will likely enjoy a more peaceful camping experience.

A vacation or a weekend getaway can be made even more enjoyable when it includes some time spent on the water. Hiring a private boat or joining an established fishing charter is one way to enjoy some fishing and sightseeing without much effort. But not all charters are the same, and itÍ s important to find one that meets your needs. While you certainly can wait until you are at your destination before finding a charter, it helps to do your homework before arriving to guarantee the best package and price. This way you will not be at the mercy of the hotels and resorts in the area and you can read unbiased reviews about charter organizations. There are many fishing charters across the country. Starting your research as soon as you know to where you will be traveling can help you narrow down the options in

Hiring a fishing charter
that area. Write down what you want to ask potential charter captains to ensure your experience is one to remember for all the right reasons. Travel package Web sites as well as local boards of commerce and tourism sites are a great resource to find fishing charters. Once you have a few names you can begin the investigative process. A service like TripAdvisor.com enables you to read reviews on attractions and services in particular areas across the world. You can type in your charter service name and read up on what others have to say about their experiences. Through the review forums you also may be able to garner names of other charter companies and attractions that may not be on the tourism sites. Another good starting-off point is a service like Findafishingcharter.com. Here you can
search for charters in the United States and Canada. Click on the map and get a listing of companies that advertise their services. Once you have narrowed down your options, there are some considerations that should be made and questions that should be asked of the charter captain. * Request a complete price breakdown, including if gratuities are expected. * Ensure that the captain is knowledgeable in the type of fishing you desire and where to go to find these fish. * Make sure the captain is licensed according to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast Guard or the Canadian Coast Guard. Ask how many years he or she has been a licensed charter captain. * Ask for references and confirm the business with the Better Business Bureau. * Know the equipment level of a charter
boat and whether it is high-tech or basic. Ask to see photos of the boat or arrange a tour prior to booking. * Find out where the charter boat actually fishes. * Will the captain and the crew be assisting your party or doing their own fishing concurrently? Novice anglers often benefit from a crew that is paying attention to their customers rather than their own fishing needs. * Are children and families welcome aboard? If so, what kind of bathroom and food facilities are available? * Inquire as to whether you will need your own fishing license. * What fishing gear is provided? * Is this a catch-and-release trip or will trophies be taken home? * Find out a contingency plan for the captainÍ s absence in case of illness.

Safety tips for outdoor enthusiasts
Inline skating and skateboarding
Outdoor enthusiasts typically cannot wait to get outside and make the most of a beautiful day. But in their haste to enjoy the great outdoors, men and women can easily overlook safety precautions that protect them from potential hazards. Though itÍ s easy to get excited about a sunny day, itÍ s important for outdoor enthusiasts to take safety seriously. No matter your activity, always bring adequate sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun, and remember to bring enough water to stay hydrated throughout the day. In addition to packing sunscreen and water, outdoor enthusiasts can employ various additional safety methods depending on which activity they choose to enjoy.
Inline skating and skateboarding are popular activities for adults and children alike. But even though you may associate such activities with your childhood, that does not mean the risk of injury is insignificant. In fact, even seasoned skateboarders and veteran inline skaters have suffered broken bones or head injuries while skateboarding or skating. Proper attire is essential for skaters and skateboarders hoping to prevent injury, so be sure to wear the following gear the next time you hit the half-pipe or go skating by the boardwalk: * Helmet * Knee pads * Wrist guards * Elbow pads
Cycling
Cyclists must always be on alert for those with whom they are sharing the road. While many motorists respect cyclists, there are some who see cyclists as a nuisance, and such motorists may drive recklessly around cyclists in an attempt to scare them off the road. Cyclists are oftentimes at the mercy of motorists, so it pays to stay as attentive as possible. Never listen to an MP3 player or another music player while riding a bike. Such a distraction could prove deadly if it takes your attention away from the road. Alertness is important when cycling, as are the following precautionary measures: * Always wear a helmet and reflective clothing that makes it easy for motorists to see you. * Obey the traffic laws. * Always ride with traffic. * Inspect your bicycle and address any mechanical issues before each ride.
When the weather permits, few activities combine the benefits of physical activity with the aesthetic appeal of nature as well as hiking does. Hikers should never hike on poorly developed trails or trails that are too difficult for them to handle, and they should have at least a basic understanding of the symptoms of altitude sickness.

Water attracts the sun, so itÍ s imperative that anyone planning to spend ample time on or around the water take steps to protect their skin. Wear appropriate clothing and apply sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor of 15. Never take to the water after you have consumed alcohol. Alcohol can dull your senses, making you less likely to recognize a dangerous situation should one present itself. If you plan on entering the water, always enter feet first and do your best to avoid swimming alone. When you employ the buddy system while swimming, you are ensuring there is someone there to help you should you begin to struggle or to alert lifeguards or other safety personnel should something go awry. If you to plan to fish on a boat, let your loved ones staying behind on land know where you plan to fish so they can share this information with authorities if your boat has problems or you donÍ t return on time. While on the boat, always wear a flotation device and make sure the boat is not running as you board and dismount. The great outdoors can be enjoyed throughout the year. But outdoor enthusiasts will have a much better time if they take the necessary steps to reduce their risk of injury.

Guest Viewpoint NECAP results: why our schools must change Jim Callahan
T
he Vermont Department of Education just issued a statement concerning the fact that only 36 percent of 11th graders statewide passed the math portion of the annual NECAP test. The new secretary of education, who was the old commissioner of education, indicates he is„ this year, as he was last year„ not able to figure out why the results are so dismal. Where I live, in Addison County, I have the results of the NECAP testing for grades two through six at the Mary Hogan Elementary School in Middlebury for 2012. You should request NECAP results for your local school, too, if you want to better understand our stateÍ s math-teaching problem. I think the answer can be found in the NECAP data; the results are pretty much the same, or worse, all over Vermont. The NECAP assessment is given in grades three through seven in Vermont since we have fall testing. I wish to thank Tom Buzzell for making the arrangements for my gaining access to the Item Analysis Reports for the Mary Hogan School. After my recent Guest Viewpoint in the Eagle, Mr. Buzzell called me and indicated that he would be more than pleased to meet with me. I now have the results of the assessment and they are not very good, inmmy opinion. These assessments indicate how much information„ concerning math„ has been understood when the students reach the different grades including middle school. Now I will share the third, sixth, and seventh grade results with you. Third Grade: Fifty two students in the third grade class, with no results for one student. Fifty one students used in data below. Of the 51 students, 10 or 20 percent of the class attainted a score of 53 to 63 points out of a possible 65 points. These students achieved 80 to 95 percent of the points available and were called Proficient with Distinction. Six or 12 percent of the class attainted a score of 50 to 52 points. These students achieved 75 to 79 percent of the points available and were called Proficient. Eighteen or 35 percent of the class attainted a score of 40 to 49 points. These students achieved 60 to 74 percent of the points available and were also called Proficient. Now we are getting silly, a student that gets 40 percent of an assessment incorrect is not proficient Three or 6 percent of the class attained a score of 37 to 39 points. These students achieved 54 to 59 percent and were also called Proficient. I am having a hard time with this, are you? The remaining 14 students or 27 percent did not make it they were called either—get this term—slightly below Proficient or Significantly Below Proficient. LetÍ s recap: out of 51 students we have accounted for, 37 students will be categorized as Proficient with Distinction or Proficient. The report will indicate that 73 percent of the students are in these categories. So what happens? Taxpayers, school committees, and parents do not get upset; it looks like everything is going a-ok. The results of the Mary Hogan School third grade are actually pretty good. But you should see the results of other Vermont Schools. Sixth Grade: Fifty nine students in class, three students with no results. Fifty six students used in data below. Of the 56 students. 22 or 40 percent of the class attainted a score of 49 to 60 points. These students achieved 75 to 90 percent of the points available and were called Proficient with Distinction. Wait a minute„ the standards have dropped. You only need 49 points now to be categorized as Proficient with Distinction.

Now the results will show that 40 percent of your students are Proficient with Distinction when many have barley passed the NECAP assessment. I really have a hard time with someone being categorized as Proficient with Distinction and getting 75 percent to 90 percent on the assessment. I would not call 11 of these students proficient (as the student with 49 correct responses missed 17 of the questions). Another 22 or 40 percent of the class attainted a score of 30 to 48 points. These students achieved 45 to 74 percent and were called Proficient. I have real problems with this as well; if you do not examine the data, you are not aware that you are saying that 80 percent of this class is Proficient with Distinction or Proficient. To my eyes, this appears as a determined effort to distort the condition of mathematics education taking place in Vermont and maybe the district. Twelve or 20 percent of the class attainted a score of less than 30 percent of the items correct. LetÍ s recap: out of 56 students we have accounted for 37 students and they will be categorized as Proficient with Distinction or Proficient. The report will indicate that 73 percent of the students are in these categories. The numbers are getting smaller even as the group gets larger and the scores are lowered. Seventh Grade: Sixty two students in class, two students with no results. Sixty students used in data below. Of the 60 students, six or 10 percent of the class attainted a score of 53 to 66 points. These students achieved 80 percent percent to 100 of the points available and were called Proficient with Distinction. Thirteen or about 20 percent of the class attained a score of 46 to 52 points. These students achieved 70-79 percent of the points available and were called Proficient with Distinction. Wait a minute„ the standards have dropped again; you only need 46 points now to be categorized as Proficient with Distinction. Now the results show that 40 percent or your students are Proficient with Distinction when many have barley passed the NECAP assessment. I have a problem with someone getting to be categorized as Proficient with Distinction and getting 70-100 percent on the assessment. I would not call 11 of these students proficient as the student with 46 correct responses missed 20 of the questions. Another 19 or 40 percent of the class attainted a score of 28 to 44 points. These students achieved 42-69 percent and were called Proficient. We now have a student that gets 28 out of 66 and he or she is called Proficient.
May 25, 2013 Thirteen or 20 percent of the class attainted a score of less than 30 percent of the items correct. I wonder if I should mention studentÍ s guessing on the assessment, as most of questions are multiple choice? I better not. You should be aware that we are in real trouble, but our friendly state department will tell you otherwise. I think I have found what the secretary of education is looking for as he searches as to why only 36 percent passed the 11th grade mathematics part of the NECAP. Mathematics education is in trouble right from the start and this is in the eighth year. A mathematics plan in place in most schools consists of programs such as ñ Bridgesî , ñ Everydayî , ñ Investigationsî „ and in some instances ñ Trail Blazersî „ develop mathematics students canÍ t do. Wait until the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics arrives. I hope Dr. Carol Fenimore will not allow false information from the central office to continue to be sent to the people of Middlebury and the surrounding towns. I wish the secretary of education would do the same. While a new superintendent is being sought here, the choice of our assistant superintendent was a good one. What needs to change is our mathematics instruction. ñ Bridgesî was not good for the Vermont Framework and it will not be good for the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in our elementary schools. I wish everyone involved to examine the data for this year as well as the data for past years. Four years ago, I approached the ID 4 School Board with similar information only to be tolerated until I left; they did nothing to look into the situations I brought to their attention. If I remember correctly, they were concerned about a small leak in the roof. We spend a considerable amount of money to make sure our schools are safe, clean and to creat an environment which enhances learning. We spend large amounts of money to bring students to school. So, why do we spend almost nothing on seeing what goes on in the school after the students arrive safely to the safe, clean school? Training teachers must be our major task. ACSU Assistant Superintendent Dr. Carol Fenimore understands the task that needs to be put in place. However, by putting people in charge of the same process which brought us to this unacceptable condition is not the answer. I wish those in charge of the search for a new superintendent all the best. I do hope this person will be a compatible person who can work with Dr. Fenimore in turning the situation around.

TICONDEROGA „ Fort Ticonderoga will return to its roots „ literally „ during its 104th season. The fort, which opened Friday, May 17, will focus on the events of 1755. ThatÍ s the year French soldiers began construction of Fort Carillon, todayÍ s Fort Ticonderoga. ñ Fort Ticonderoga becomes Fort Carillon this year,î said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga CEO and president. ñV isitors to Fort Ticonderoga will be immersed in the year 1755 when French soldiers began the construction of the fort. Situated in what was considered New France, people can explore the first year in the fort’s life and discover how the Revolutionary War and an unprecedented restoration project turned this remote French outpost into AmericaÍ s Fort. “Our programs this year will reflect life at Fort Carillon and the experiences of New France,” she said. “It’ll reflect the life of a French soldier at the time.” Fort Ticonderoga now features a specific year of its history each season. Last year it reflected 1775 and the year before 1759. ñT his allows us to keep our programs fresh and gives visitors a reason to come back every year,î Hill said. “The experience is always changing. No other historic site in America highlights a specific year every year.î That approach seems to work. More than 70,000 people visited Fort Ticonderoga in 2012. Paid attendance was up 6 percent. Program revenues were up 36 percent. Membership in the Friends of Fort Ticonderoga group increased 38 percent. ñW eÍ re really seeing success across the board,î said Hill, who took over as Fort TiÍ s leader three years ago when the site was struggling financially. “The (financial) turnaround has happened. Now weÍ re focused on sustained growth.î Fort Ticonderoga has several new features this summer. A new exhibit, ñ It would make a heart of stone melt „ Sickness, Injury, and Medicine at Fort Ticonderoga,î looks at medicine at the 18th Century fort. A new recreation trail will also be unveiled. The interpretive trail winds around the Carillon Battlefield and offers guests an opportunity to explore. There is also a new canoe rental program that will allow people to see the fort from Lake Champlain. Also new in 2013 is a renewed emphasis on educational programing for children. Last year the fort reached about 13,000 students through its programs, Hill noted. This year she expects that number to reach 24,000. She also pointed out new programs for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts at the fortress. ñ That really hits at the heart of our mission,î she said. ñ We want to reach as many people as possible, especially children. IÍ m very excited about our youth programs.î Fort Ticonderoga will still have its traditional living history weekends, events, exhibits, gardens and its corn maze. The KingÍ s Garden, one of North AmericaÍ s oldest gardens and the largest public garden in the Adirondack-Lake Champlain region, will open on May 25 and offer new programs for children and adults as well as daily tours. Popular exhibits also remain. ñ The Art of War: Ticonderoga as Experienced through the Eyes of AmericaÍ s Great Artistsî is again in the lower level of the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center. “Bullets & Blades: The Weapons of America’s Colonial Wars and Revolution” is on the second floor of the soldiersÍ barracks. ñ Fort Ticonderoga is a family destination and a center of learning,î Hill said. ñ A visit is an interactive, multi-disciplined experience. It’s exploring the beautiful gardens, finding adventure in our events, marching with the fife and drum corps, and learning about a historic trade. It’s a walk through the restored fort, a stroll overlooking Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont, and an afternoon in our exhibit galleries exploring our premier collections.î There will also be several special events. June 15 will be Scot’s Day, a commemoration of Scottish heritage and the significant contributions it made to 18th Century North American. There will be Scottish clan tents and vendors. July 8 will be the Battle of Carillon commemoration. Nearly 2,000 men were killed or wounded in the 1758 Battle of Carillon. The fort will have about 80 employees this summer, who will join 14 year-round staff members. Fort Ticonderoga is open daily through Oct. 20 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission is $17.50 for adults, $14 for those 62 and older and $8 for children ages 5-12. Children 4 and younger are admitted free of charge. Friends of Fort Ticonderoga and Ticonderoga Resident Ambassador Pass holders are also admitted free. Ambassador Passes can be obtained at the entrance booth to the fort with proof of residency. For more information go online at www.FortTiconderoga. org or call 585-2821.

Crown Point veteran sacrificed for freedom By David Bruce
CROWN POINT — On June 3, 1864, the Confederate fire came in regularly, forcing Union troops to take cover. Corpses were still around from the fighting of June 1 and the soldiers from the Adirondack Regiment stacked the bodies and covered them with earth for protection. ñ The dirt would sometimes sift down exposing a hand or a foot or the blacken face of the dead,î said one New YorkerÍ s account of the Battle at Cold Harbor, cited in the book, ñ Three years with the Adirondack Regiment, 118th N.Y.î by John L. Cunningham. Pvt. Ashley Woods, Company F of the 118th, from Crown Point was there. While historical reports are mixed, solid documents do confirm that May 26-June 3, 1864, 12,788 casualties occurred. Woods was one, with a shot to the hip, causing him to nearly die due to battle conditions that left him handicapped for the rest of his life. Tragedy was no stranger to Woods. In 1859, he had a small farm on what is now the Cold Springs Road, off the White Church Road in Crown Point, married to a beautiful woman named Leafy Winters with two children, Warren and Minerva. Death came knocking and claimed the life of his baby daughter and short after that, Leafy died on Feb. 8, 1861. He buried them both at the BeersÍ Cemetery near the top of ñ Big Hollow.î The headstone is still there. Woods must have been in great mourning, unsure and with a lot of questions. President Abraham Lincoln was calling for 300,000 volunteers to put down the rebellion in the South. Each senatorial district was charged with raising their quota of volunteers. The North Country district was comprised of Clinton, Essex and Warren counties. Senator R. M. Little of Glens Falls was the elected official. Each county was to have three companies.
Essex was assigned C, F and E and be part of the new 118th N.Y. Volunteers, known as the ñ Adirondack Regiment.î Woods was 27, black hair, blue eyes, rugged and stood 5-feet10. He enlisted and went to Plattsburgh where he was joined by others from the respective communities of Essex and the other two counties. The young men were mustered in on Aug. 29, 1862, and got their orders on Sept. 1. They had no uniforms and were wearing what was referenced to as ñ citizenÍ s dress.î They boarded a steamer going down Lake Champlain, to Whitehall and then they were put on a troop train to Albany. In that city, it was reported that some of the boys got pieces of firewood and put it on the train in the box cars. After they pulled out of Albany heading to NYC, they proceeded to knock out the sides of the cars so they could ñ see the country.î They went to NYC, Philadelphia and ended up outside of Baltimore, not far from Washington, where they got their Enfield rifles, accompaniment, tents and camp equipment. Woods was now part of the 18th Army Corp. commanded by Maj. Gen. Wm. F. Smith. The 18th Corp. spent most of its first year protecting sites around Washington but the second and third years they were in heavy fighting in the Richmond, Petersburg, Newport News and Portsmouth region. Two of the conflicts that took their greatest toll on this regiment were the Battle at DruryÍ s (DrewryÍ s) Bluff located just south of Richmond on May 16, 1864, and Cold Harbor, north east of that city from May 26 through June 3, 1864. Woods had survived two years of war, disease, worse weather the south could produce, going through snake infested swamps and battle living conditions that are almost indescribable. Nearly 13,000 war casualties happened at Cold Harbor, Woods was one of them. He took a shot in the hip and would spend the next year in various hospitals ending up in Washington. He was muster out with his

company on June 15, 1865, and finally arrived home. While away, a 17-year-old girl named Phoebe Meachem assumed the role of care giver and mother to Warren Woods. Upon return, Ashley and Phoebe married and had three children of their own, Carrie, King and Keefe. Throughout the rest of his life, he tried to receive some form of compensation for his wounds and the disadvantage he faced. He died on July 10, 1918, and he and Phoebe are buried together in the White Church cemetery. EditorÍ s note: WoodsÍ son King married Hattie Laing. Their daughter Carrie married Ray Meachem were grandparents of the author. ñ This Memorial Day take the time to recognize those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom and our opportunity to make choices as a free people,î Bruce said. ñ We can do more to reduce the conflict in our own neighborhoods and our communities, which might help set an example. War often is not the real answer and should always be the last resort.î
