Lumberjacks revive tradition at Stony Creek

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com STONY CREEK — Katrina Davenport swung her axe behind her back, grimaced and pr opelled it towar d a

block of wood standing in a vise.

As the axe tore into the wood, a chunk flew past her lean torso, 145 pounds of muscle in motion.

With one mor e violent swing, she chopped through the block, over a foot thick, to conclude the “Standing

Block” event in the lumberjack competition held r ecently at Stony Cr eek Mountain Festival.

The crowd joined other competitors in cheering her feat as she gazed toward the announcer.

Approaching 100, Sr. Catherine Schuyler reflects on life thom@denpubs.com WA R R E N S B U R G — S i s ter Catherine Schuyler has invested her life into teaching others while enhancing their spiritual awar eness and bridging cultural divides.

She’s been at it a long time — since 1933.

Schuyler, a r etired nun that lives in the rectory at St. Cecilia’s Roman Catholic Church in W arrensburg, is turning 100 this week, and she took time with Sister Linda Hogan Monday Aug. 16 to r eflect on her car eer.

Saturday Aug. 20, parishioners and friends are gathering in both St. Cecilia’s and Sacr ed Heart Catholic Church in Lake Geor ge to pay tribute to a woman who has devoted nearly 80 years to serving others.

Schuyler grew up in Hagaman, N.Y. northeast of Amsterdam. As her mother died at a young age, Schuyler was raised primarily by her grandmother, and later by her stepmother. She attended the College of St. Rose in Albany, and graduated in St. Rose’s second class ever.

Not long after graduation, Schuyler became a nun, joining the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet based in Troy.

Her grandmother , Schuyler r ecalled, was disappointed in her chosen vocation.

“When I made my decision, she told me, ‘It’s a lazy life,’” Schuyler remembered with a chuckle.

But her life wasn’t lazy in

the least, Hogan noted.

Since 1936, Schuyler taught Literatur e, English, Mathematics and Science at various ar ea Catholic high schools, followed by college-level teaching assignments in Per u fr om 1963 to 1974. At the University of Santa Maria inArequipa, she taught English, World literature, and served as a librarian.

Her tenur e in Per u prompted a good number of life-long friendships, Hogan noted. Just several weeks ago, o ne o f S chuyler ’s s tudents in Peru visited her.

“Sister Catherine is not

only inspiring, she’s unforgettable,” Hogan said, noting her sharp wit and sparkling personality .

“She’s a wonderful, wonderful teacher , and people in Peru still talk about her.”

Schuyler deferr ed the credit.

“I taught them, but they taught me a lot — it went both ways,” she said with a smile.

After her tenur e in Per u, Schuyler returned to Scotia, NY to care for her father, after which she served on the faculty of Fulton-Montgomery Community College in Amsterdam. Later , her

service to the chur ch took her to Florida. Ther e, she was a dir ector of a chur ch home, coordinated religious education at a Catholic School, and taught Theology and English at a school for unwed mothers. Fr om 1983 to 1986, she minister ed to Hispanic migrants. From 1986 to 1990, she taught general education to prison inmates in Florida. The following year , Schuyler taught a similar subject at a community college nearby . Fr om 1991 to 1996, she worked as a teacher or as a human services wo rker i n a v ariety o f positions.

In 2000, she arrived at St. Cecilia’s in Warrensburg, where she has been a volunteer, cook and housekeeper , spiritual counselor and prayer witness ever since.

As Hogan watched the 99year-old walk briskly through the rectory kitchen, she said Schuyler has enjoyed a healthy lifestyle.

“Sister Catherine’s in excellent health, and she’s got really strong bones,” Hogan

Schuyler was campaigning ardently for Obama, she r ecalled this week.

“As soon as I was awake, I was politicking,” she said.

Schuyler said she enjoys living on Main St. in W arrensburg, because of the variety of services close by.

“I like living here — close to shopping and the health center,” she said.

It’s a short walk across the street, she noted, to attend wakes of parishioners at Alexander-Baker Funeral Home — wher e she shar es some wit and wisdom with funeral dir ector John Alexander, Schuyler said.

“When I go into the funeral home, I tell him I’m not ready yet,” she laughed, attributing her long life to frequent exer cise and eating peanut butter daily , as well as crediting God. Hogan disputed the peanut butter , noting Schuyler ’s engaging spirit and love of life.

“She’s lots of fun, creative and dynamic,” Hogan said.

said, noting that Schuyler ’s bedroom is on the r ectory’s second floor, and she scales the stairs regularly with considerable ease.

In 1996, Schuyler climbed a mountain in Pack For est, accompanied by W arren County Sherif f Bud York, she said.

“I owe my good health to miles and miles of walking,” Sister Catherine said.

In 1 989, s he h iked t o t he top of Hackensack Mountain, a feat she might attempt again in several weeks after she gets her 100th birthday behind her, Hogan said.

“She’s a vibrant woman with a keen sense of humor,” Hogan added.

Schuyler also enjoys politics — so much that she often skips Mass for the Sunday morning political talk shows on television, Hogan said. An avid supporter of Barack Obama, Schuyler had a h eart a ttack n ot l ong b efore the 2008 election. In the emergency room, hours after regaining consciousness,

Lowe’s closure a reality check: We need leadership, confidence Soul searching needed L

J

ust two years ago Ticonderoga leaders envisioned a vibrant commercial district at its “Four Corners.” The area surrounding the intersection of Routes 9N and 74 already had Wal-mart attracting thousands of shoppers. Lowe’s and Dunkin’ Donuts had just opened. Rite Aid, wanting to be where the action is, moved from its downtown location to the “Four Corners.” Plans were being discussed to bring national hotel and restaurant chains along with several smaller retailers to the area.

To prepare for the economic boom, the town extended infrastructure in the area. New York State modified Route 9N to handle the expected increase in traffic.

Ticonderoga seemed poised to make an economic leap. Today, those dreams have been dashed. Dunkin’ Donuts closed just a few months after opening and now sits empty. Plans for the hotel and restaurant collapsed. This week Lowe’s unexpectedly closed, leaving 86 people unemployed and a 124,000 square feet building empty.

Wal-mart remains and — like it or not — is the community’s retail engine.

When Wal-mart expressed interest in Ticonderoga more than a decade ago, a common debate took place. Are “big box” stores good for communities? With the loss of Lowe’s, that debate has been renewed without an answer. Lowe’s failed, leaving behind a huge warehouse-type building that could sit vacant for years. Wal-mart has succeeded, providing jobs, area shoppers goods and local government taxes.

Where does Ticonderoga go from here?

No one can accuse local leaders of being disengaged. The community has the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership, Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, Ti Economic Development Committee, PRIDE and the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce all working to improve the local economy. And it has plans. There’s the Quality Destination Plan, the National Main Street Trust plan and plans to construct a replica

18th Century sawmill to serve as a tourist draw and economic hub.

Ticonderoga is not alone. Communities throughout the North Country are struggling to improve their economies.

Almost all have similar local groups working on the issue. And there have been state programs, like the now-defunct Empire State Development Zones, that were supposed to spur economic development. Offering tax breaks, loans and other incentives, the EDZ program was supposed to bring major manufacturers and jobs to the North Country. To take full advantage of the program Essex County beefed up its Industrial Development Agency and communities constructed industrial parks awaiting companies. Today, those parks in Ticonderoga, Moriah, Schroon Lake and Keeseville sit mostly empty.

Walking along Main Street in Port Henry recently, Tom Scozzafava could only shake his head.

“I’m frustrated,” the Moriah supervisor admitted. “Our economy is worse now than when the (iron) mines closed in 1972. Look at the businesses that have closed in the last three years. Port Henry’s main street doesn’t have a single business on its east side.

“What do we have to do? Why can’t we attract business here,” Scozzafava asked. “What do we need to do? I don’t have the answer, but I know we need to do a lot of soul searching.”

The loss of Lowe’s is a blow the area economy, but perhaps it’s also an opportunity to do that “soul searching.”

What type of economic development does a community want? What type is needed? What type is realistic? Those and many other questions need to be answered, especially before local communities roll out the red carpet for another big box retailer.

Letters to the Editor Pennock, crew working hard on our roads To the Adirondack Journal: Many thanks go out to Ed Pennock and the W arrensburg town highway department crew of Glenn Bills, Slugger Corlew, Dan Daley , Dan Ackley, Keith Gillingham, Kevin Gillingham and Cor ey Cleveland — for the much-needed paving job on Alden Ave. As a r esident of Alden Ave. for the past 17 years, I have seen this road deteriorate. In the past, it’s been ignor ed when work should have been done. The countless expenses my neighbors and I have had to put into vehicle suspensions and repairs related to road conditions were extraordinary.

Since Ed Pennock has been highway superintendent, no quick fixes had to be endured anymore. Boulders and rocks that have caused the r oad to heave and buckle have now been removed, and proper culverts and drainage have been installed. I can now say for the first time in 17 years that I enjoy driving this five-mile mountain road.

Let’s not for get about all the other pr ojects these har dworking individuals have accomplished under Ed Pennock’s supervision. Such achievements include upkeep on the roads after the torrential rains and flooding, street sweeping and pot hole repairs and plowing.

I know that when election time comes ar ound, these labors should not be overlooked. Let’s r e-elect Ed Pennock to another term so we can be assur ed of getting our money’s burdens and the income of the taxpayers who live in the commuworth. nity.”

Also, there is no “extra” money. In fact one of the reasons the space program was stopped is because this government has spent all the “extra” money so we are now $14 trillion in debt without enough to keep the program going.

Some spin-offs of the space program are: •Computer technology: air quality monitoring, virtual re ality, structural analysis for automobile design; •Consumer/home recreation: enriched baby food, water purification system, scratch resistance lenses.

•Environmental and resource management: solar energy, weather forecasting aid, forest management.

These are just few of the spinoffs from the space program.

For a full list do a Google sear ch for “NASA spinoffs.” I think you’ll be amazed at the pr oducts that came fr om this pr ogram and are now in use on earth. Money well spent!

program. I personally have contributed since I first started working at the age of 16. I have not stopped working since.

I am now 60. For 25 years my wife and I were self-employed and were both contributing 15 per cent of our gr oss income — and we were always at the top of the cap — to Social Security. I am suggesting that the ceiling be r emoved and all Americans pay the same percentage into the system. We will then have more than enough money for Social Security and be able to lower the percentage rate we pay in.

The second point is no one is addr essing how much we spend on our military budget. The politicians have convinced us, again with the use of scar e tactics, that we need to spend 698 trillion dollars a year. I think this should be put on the bargaining table like everything else.

Not everyone in this country wants to be involved in all of the wars we are now involved in. In fact, this is why some people voted for Obama. He said he was going to bring the troops home fr om iraq when he was campaigning, instead we have expanded the countries ar e troops are fighting in.

This country has become the military for the world.

We spend more on our military than the next 17 countries listed combined and six times as much as China, our nearest competitor. Military spending has become big business and many of our elected officials are invested in it. Remember the famous words of Eisenhower's farewell address: “Beware the unchecked power of the military-industrial complex.” Our elected officials seem to think they don't have to answer to anyone.

Keep it coming, Mr. Alexander and thanks for giving the average citizen a place to make their thoughts and concerns public. God knows we have no where else when it comes to the media.

Retreat offered for women with chronic illness To the Adirondack Journal: Creative Healing Connections, which pr ovides arts and healing r etreats for women living with cancer and other chronic illnesses, has several full scholarships available for two upcoming Adirondack weekend retreats set for Sept. 23 through 25 and Sept. 30 through Oct. 2.

There are two types of scholarships, one for women living with breast cancer, and another for women who may use the Adirondack Medical Center services.

The retreats provides participants with the opportunity to connect with other North Country women facing similar challenges, thus building or expanding one’s support network. During the r etreat, participants learn lots of techniques for enhancing their quality of life, engage in a variety of arts activities for individual and collective self-expr ession, and stay at Gr eat Camp Sagamor e, an Adirondack Great Camp once owned by the Vanderbilts.

Sagamore offers a glorious setting with its own lake, nature trails and fabulous food. It is a safe, peaceful natural setting where the participants join a community that will listen to their story as it unfolds, support their healing and celebrate their growth.

These grants ar e partially underwritten by a grant fr om Adirondack Medical Center Foundation. For more information please email franstory@ gmail.com, see our website at www.creativehealingconnections.org, or contact Fran Yardley at 359-9324 or Karen Glass at 576-2058.

Town seeks to refurbish historic bandstand Bandstand has national fame

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Local government is applying for a grant for the restoration and preservation of the its premier landmark, and help is needed.

Town of ficials ar e seeking expr essions of support for a state grant, and letters fr om local r esidents would be helpful in obtaining a grant, they said.

The Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand, named after the world-famous aviator and W arrensburg native Floyd Bennett, is deteriorating, and town of ficials want to give it a makeover.

Letters of support may expr ess the importance of the bandstand to local citizens, and how it’s prominent in local civic activities as well as in national history , according to Patricia Monahan, town bookkeeper and grantswriter. Letters should be addressed to: Patricia Monahan, Town of Warrensburg, 3797 Main Str eet, Warrensburg 12885, and mailed by Aug. 25.

Floyd Bennett flew Richard Byrd on the duo’s historic attempt to reach the north pole in 1926. Bennett died two years later from pneumonia he contracted while pr eparing to fly on a r escue mission to the South Pole. Bennett and Byr d’s fame endured, however.

The bandstand was erected in his honor in 1929, and the image of the bandstand since has been used as the logo representing Warrensburg to the world.

But in recent years, the bandstand hasn’t appeare d as pristine as its pictures, with rotting columns and cracking brickwork, outdated fixtures and peeling paint — and its deteriorating condition has pr ompted the grant application, endorsed Aug. 10 by the town boar d. The grant, if r eceived, would pay the majority of the r ehabilitation costs, and the town would pay primarily through of labor contributions.

The grant money would be used not only give it a facelift, but make the rest rooms in the base of the bandstand handicapped accessible, and pay for new ener gy-saving plumbing and lighting fixtur es as well as upgraded landscaping.

It also would allow for re construction of the pillars that are rotting out, and improved electrical wiring.

Several prior applications in recent years for a state grant to repair the bandstand have been turned down, but Monahan remained optimistic about this latest request.

Monahan said the bandstand needed repairs so it can endure and continue to be an attractive landmark in the decades ahead.

“We’re seeking to not only r efurbish it, but make it mor e eco-friendly and a pleasant landmark for the community to enjoy,” she said.

Golf tourney record BRANT LAKE — The annual Jer emiah Monr oe Memorial Golf T ournament, held r ecently to benefit the Wounded W arrior pr oject, shattered pr evious r ecords for attendance and fundraising.

The tournament was launched last year in memory of Jer emiah Monr oe killed in Sept. 2009 while on patrol in Afghanistan.

That sum surpasses the $7,500 or so raised last year.

Monroe said 112 golfers participated, and they wer e from all over New York State. Two golfers from Washington D.C. competed, he added.

More than 60 businesses donated t owards t he e vent, and 16 individuals and families who didn’t compete also contributed donations, Monroe said.

release that the event was being held to alert town and village voters to the critical issues facing citizens.

“We encourage all voters to g et i nvolved i n t he e lectoral pr ocess,” she said.

“They must learn, firsthand, what is taking place in our community.”

The Citizens Gr oup has endorsed Dennis Dickinson, a Republican, for T own Supervisor, and for town council, Dan Hurley, a Democrat, and Marisa Muratori, a Republican. Dickinson ran as a Democrat for the post two years ago, but was defeated by present Supervisor Frank McCoy, a Republican. Since the loss, Dickinson changed his party affiliation.

Gavin said her gr oup believes Dickinson, Hurley and Muratori, if elected, will be catalysts who bring lake George townspeople together with their local government.

The Lake Geor ge Citizens Group was formed about three years ago in an ef fort to raze the buildings on the former Gaslight Village property, and the group is now undertaking an effort to get town citizens more involved in matters of town government, Gavin said.

•100 Years Ago – Aug. 1911• Fire ravages Schroon Lake area A fire of unknown origin broke out in the village of Schroon Lake about 4 a.m. Sunday morning, Aug. 13, 191 1 and destr oyed the Drake apartment house, burned part of Taylor ’s harness shop and slightly damaged the Ondawa Hotel. The blaze was discovered in the basement of the Drake house by a son of one of the occupants and an alarm was quickly given. The r esidents and summer guests formed a bucket brigade, bringing water from the lake 100 yards away, but the fire had gained such headway that the contents of the building could not be saved.

NORTH CREEK — A weekend of field pickin’ tunes in a four-day camper town approaches as the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival returns to the Ski Bowl Park for its eighth year from Aug. 18-21.

Among the performers is David Nichols and Spare Change, fr om Whippleville, outside Malone.

“We’re r egionally known and mar ginally famous,” said Nichols.

Nichols runs a guitar inlay shop that’s embellished and built guitars for the likes of B.B. King, Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard.

A bluegrass festival is basically a giant campout, said Nichols. Attendees like to sit near their camper and play music while listening to the stage. Having someone to play with at your campsite is as big a draw as the stage performers, said Nichols.

The bluegrass festival season r uns fr om April to October . It’s special, said Nichols, it’s the way performers like him live their summers. He runs his shop Monday through Wednesday, then heads out for festivals, playing from Maine to Pennsylvania.

His band will donate a Bristol Blue Ridge guitar to be raffled off at the event, a custom for them when playing festivals.

It’s a small festival, but we all know each other, said Nichols, “it’s like a family r eunion.”

When Nichols stops into the North Cr eek festival, “I know wher e I’ll park, I know who’ll park behind me.”

It’s like a community , he said, you know where you live, you know who your neighbors ar e, and you’r e friendly with most everybody. He added that he avoids people who want to talk his ear off.

He said much like other performers, his band will wander ar ound the campers and play songs, have a sandwich with the owners, move to another camper , or split up to mingle. Rusty Leigh, who's helped organize the event since it began, called this practice field picking.

The festival wasn’t very big the first year, “as a matter of fact it was quite small,” with nine bands playing for three days.

The four-day format launched last year. In previous weekends, the or ganizers found that there would be dozens of campers eady r to r oll to their parking places Thursday , though music didn’t start until Friday . So they figured, why not get the stage playing a little earlier, said Leigh.

The four-day Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival returns to North Creek this weekend.

Joel Beaudin, who first thought North Creek could put on a successful bluegrass festival and has worked tirelessly to make it so has stepped back from his responsibilities this year, said Leigh, though he'll help park cars.

Main street sees a bump when the visitors are in town, said Leigh, and ther e will be shuttles fr om the Ski Bowl Park to Main Street.

There will also be a train pr omotion, where visitors can buy a ticket for the hourand-a-half the train is in town for $10.

They also sell discounted all-day Saturd ay tickets to seniors at the meal site for $12.

We like to make a little money, said Leigh, because we give it all away . The not-for-profit show only r etains enough money to r un the next year, and the rest is donated to community organizations, schools, the Outreach Center and the North Country Ministry ,

which helps with home heating.

Leigh hires the bands, attending other festivals and approaching bands that seem like a good fit; he's alr eady started looking for next year's bands.

Leigh said all the music’s good, but they have a few bands that ar e especially noteworthy. The James King Band has been r ecognized several times by the International Bluegrass Association. Leigh's also excited about Goldwing Expr ess of Missouri and Remington Ryde of Pennsylvania.

“I’m very fussy about the people I hire to play,” said Leigh.

Though he likes to stick to a traditional bluegrass format, Leigh's open to suggestion. A survey is distributed to attendees so they can suggest a band to bring to the festival, and he'll hir e on bands he personally isn’t too keen on if ther e's enough audience interest.

Bridge celebration postponed until May 2012 DOT uncertain when Champlain span will be ready

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com C R O W N P O I N T — Wi l l the new Champlain Brid ge open as scheduled Oct. 9?

No one seems to know.

“We ar e curr ently in discussions with the contractor to see what impact the spring weather and flooding has had on construction and determine when the bridge will be opened to traf fic,” said Car ol Br een, senior public information officer with the New York State Department of Transportation.

She declined to of fer an opening date — which has forced the Lake Champlain Bridge Coalition to postpone its planned opening celebration. That celebration was planned for Oct. 15 and 16.

DOT officials have insisted the bridge pr oject is on schedule, despite granting the c ontractor a 6 5-day e xtension to its pr oject schedule in March. DOT had listed Oct. 9 as the opening date on its website. Now ther e is no opening date listed.

Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider believes the bridge will open late.

She thinks DOT is delaying making a formal announcement to delay public criticism as long as possible.

“I’ve called DOT and they haven’t called me back,” Kosmider said. “I can’t get anything firm from them.”

Flatiron Constr uctors of Lafayette, Colo., is building the span. It was the low-bidder at $69.6 million.

Flatiron is under contract to build the new span within 500 days of groundbreaking. The contract includes a provision requiring Flatiron to absorb the costs of the adjacent, temporary ferry service — about $30,000 a day — for every day beyond the 500-day limit. The contract also provides a financial incentive — up to $1.5 million — for Flatir on to complete the work in less than 500 days.

“The October (opening)

date has all of the sudden disappeared,” said Karen Hennessy of the bridge coalition. “Now DOT tells us the opening date is undetermined. We’ve talked to DOT a great deal the past week without getting any sort of commitment. It would not be pr udent on our part to throw a party and not have the guest of honor (the bridge) in attendance.”

While the opening date seems uncertain, work is continuing. The str ucture is taking shape between Crown P oint a nd Addison, Vt. “In terms of constr uction, we have completed assembly of the center ar ch span and are installing support cables and lighting on the arch,” Breen said. “We ar e pouring concr ete decks on

both t he Vermont an d N ew York sides of the bridge.”

At the same time the bridge ar ch is being constructed on barges in Port Henry and will be floated to the str ucture later this month, Breen said.

“We’re planning to lift the arch into place late this month,” she said.

“The process will take two days.

First, the arch will be loaded onto barges at Valez Marine and floated down the lake to the bridge site. A safe zone will be established ar ound the ar ch bar ges during the transport, b ut the lake wil l not be closed. The arch will then have to be connected to lifting cables. The actual lift will occur on the second day and is expected to take between 12 and 18 hours. The main navigational channel

Now Accepting Applications for Fall Enrollment

under the bridge will be closed during the lift.”

The bridge will be based on a modified network ar ch design and will include bike paths and pedestrian walkways on both sides.

While the opening celebration is being postponed, the L ake C hamplain B ridge Coalition is still planning a small event Oct. 16 to mark the two-year anniversary of the bridge closing. The Lake Champlain Bridge was immediately closed Oct. 16, 2009, when state transportation officials, without warning, declared it unsafe.

“We’ll still mark the occasion,” Hennessy said. “W e

don’t want people to for get we’ve been without a bridge for 720 days.”

The bridge served about 3,000 vehicles a day , meaning people who used the bridge daily to r each their jobs, health car e facilities, grocery stores and other necessities were forced to take detours lasting up to four hours. The closing led to the closure of businesses on both sides of the lake and crippled tourism.

A temporary ferry service now links Cr own Point and Addison, Vt. The bridge was demolished in December 2009 and construction started on a

new bridge in June 2010.

The Lake Champlain Bridge Coalition still has plans for a series of events to celebrate the new span across the lake. The celebration is now slated for May 19 and 20, 2012.

There ar e plans for a parade acr oss the bridge, a street dance, a 5-kilometer road race, fir eworks, a boat flotilla led by the Lois McClure and a visit fr om an Army Blackhawk helicopter.

“This will allow us time for great fundraising and allow us to plan an even better event,” Hennessy said of the delay. “W e’ll make lemonade out of lemons.”

A few workers will be at the site the next week to remove inventory, then the building will be empty, Lentz said.

Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney said she heard of the closing the night before, although she never r eceived formal notice from Lowe’s.

“I had no heads up whatsoever,” Malaney said. “It’s really a setback for us.”

The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce is mobilizing to assist the former Lowe’s employees.

Adirondack Park Agency chief reflects on four-year reign

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK —Adirondack Park Agency Chairman Curt Stiles, who r ecently announced he is stepping down after four years at the helm, has of fered his thoughts about his tenure.

Stiles made his announcement at last month’s agency meeting in Ray Brook, prompting a mixture of reactions.

August 12 was Stiles’ last of ficial day as chairman of the APA. His tenur e with the APA was marked by clashes with elected of ficials in the Park, who lobbied Governor Andrew Cuomo not to reappoint Stiles for a second term.

But Stiles also pushed thr ough major r eforms of the APA’s regulatory approach, and engineered the first legislative change to the Park Agency Act in a generation.

Stiles said his departure from the APA was a purely personal decision, reached without any outside political pressures.

“I think that’s a subject for a whole diff erent conversation — the political natur e of the Park discussion always assumes that there’s something beyond what’s at the surface,” he said. “I think that’s one thing that I’ve tried to do with this boar d is be very dir ect, and very up front.”

Stiles said he stands behind the Park’s mission to pr otect the envir onment, especially when it comes to shorelines and water quality.

But he adds that the Park Agency can make land-use procedures simpler, particularly if local governments adopt APA-approved master plans.

On state land pur chases, Stiles says expanding the For est Pr eserve needs to focus on land that is in real need of protection. But he also believes a discussion on how much land the state should pur chase within the Blue Line needs to take place.

“The fair question is: ‘How much is enough?’” Stiles said. “One of the things, from a planning standpoint, is what do we want the Park to look like? That’s the planning function and I don’t think we’ve really addressed that in a broad sense.”

Regarding the Lewis Farm case, which the Agency ultimately lost, Stiles says he would have handled it the same way.

“We definitely saw that as part of our jurisdiction and would have given the permit gladly with an application,” he said.

Agency spokesman Keith McKeever says the position will remain vacant until Cuomo appoints a new chair, or an acting chair.

Stiles is a former Xer ox executive and served as a Naval Flight Officer with the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War.

The skinny on the state’s proposed plan to manage white-tailed deer

F

or those who have not kept up, the state is in the process of formulating a plan that biologists hope will help them better manage the white-tailed deer herd here, and new rules and season dates will most likely emerge as a result — some as early as next year.

What does that mean to you? Well, that depends on your preferred hunting method and where you like to pursue deer.

First and foremost, despite what you may have heard about the plan, I’m guessing there’s nothing in it that’s going to prompt you to sprint to the pickup and tear up your hunting license in protest.

There is a ton of misinformation and rumors circulating about the plan, and the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is asking all hunters to learn the facts before forming an opinion.

So, for those who have not curled up in an easy chair with the 57-page document, I am going to do my best to simplify its contents and explain how the changes might affect you.

Then, if you are upset about a particular part of the plan, at least you can make an informed response to the DEC.

Doe permits Biologists would like to switch to an across-theboard doe permit system instead of allowing a deer of either sex or antlerless only to be taken during bow and muzzleloader seasons.

That means a hunter with the appropriate tags would still be allowed two bucks — one during regular season and one during primitive arms — but would need to obtain a deer management permit to take a doe during bow, muzzleloader or regular season, anywhere in the state.

I spoke at length to state Wildlife Biologist Jeremy Hurst, who was instrumental in compiling the new plan and the recommendations in it.

He said it is very difficult for biologists to have “scale control” when hunters are allowed to take does with both bow and muzzleloader tags every year.

“In some cases, that’s not what’s best for deer management,” Hurst said.

Instead, biologists would like to be able to issue doe permits based on the health of the herd each year — giving out more where needed and less where the herd is struggling from factors like winter kill.

That would keep the number of deer more level from one year to the next based on what an area can support, Hurst said.

The flip side to that, Hurst acknowledged, is that not as many deer management permits would be issued in areas with low deer densities, like the Adirondacks.

“The reality is, in low population densities, we can’t afford much antlerless harvest,” he said. “If we had a year where we saw a big swing in deer or hunter numbers, the impact on the herd could be scary. It would take many years to rebound.”

At the same time, it would open an opportunity for rifle hunters to take a doe anywhere in the state with a deer management permit for that area.

Antler restrictions Another area that is sure to spark some conversation in hunting camp is with regard to antler restrictions. The state proposes increasing the hunting area where antler restrictions are in place. Restrictions were put in place in 2006 in Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) 3C, 3H, 3J, and 3K. In these units, bucks taken have to have at least one antler with three or more points which are at least 1 inch long, including brow tines.

The goal is to increase the opportunity to harvest 2-plus-year-old bucks with greater antler growth.

The proposal on the table is to increase those restrictions to include WMUs 3A, 4G, 4O, 4P, 4R, 4S, and 4W, in counties like Schoharie, Greene, Delaware and Ulster, around and south of Albany.

Youth The plan quotes some startling statistics about dwindling hunter numbers, so in response, the DEC seems focused on getting more kids afield, and has proposed a special three-day firearms season Columbus Day weekend. The DEC is also advocating to lower the legal age to hunt big game to 12, some-

thing 46 other states have already done.

Hurst said officials contemplated allowing youth out in late September, prior to bow season, but that plan didn’t coincide with the license year, which renews Oct. 1.

Season dates To appease bowhunters who will have to share the forest with youth gun hunters for three days, the DEC is proposing lengthening the bow season to the north and south. Under the plan, bow would open Sept. 27 to the north and Oct. 1 to the south. The northern season would run through muzzleloader, which would open a week later on Oct. 20. Regular season to the north would then start Oct. 27 and run through Dec. 9, and a week of late muzzleloader after that.

The southern bow season would run Oct. 1-Nov. 16 when regular season would kick in, which would wrap up Dec. 9 and muzzleloader would follow Dec. 10-18.

A proposal to mix in a four-day early muzzleloader season from Oct. 9-12 in the southern zone has stirred much controversy, as rumors have circulated that it is in the works for most or all of the southern zone. But Hurst said that’s not the case. Instead, the concept is to leave the option open for a muzzleloader season in areas with very high deer populations.

Only then would a WMU be open to the early muzzleloader hunt, he said.

Crossbows, Setbacks and penalties DEC has taken more than 2,000 comments dating back to 2009 on this plan, and a majority of New Yorkers support the use of crossbows for all seasons, especially for those with physical disabilities, so DEC officials are endorsing them for use in the plan.

The state is also proposing reducing the setback required for using longbows and crossbows around structures from the current 500 feet to 150.

And, lastly, DEC is proposing an increase in fines and civil penalties for violators. The current penalty structure hasn’t changed since 1996, and many sportsmen’s groups support bigger penalties for those who illegally take wildlife.

What’s Next?

According to Hurst, some of these proposals are more likely to be seen before others. The DEC is allowed to establish some rules on its own, like antler restrictions and season dates, while others take new laws in Albany.

Recommendations like the minimum hunting age, increasing penalties and the use of crossbows, for example, take legislative approval, and will therefore take more time to put in place, as will a change to an across-the-board doe permit system in the northern zone.

“Some of these are really just a concept, so lets not jump the gun,” Hurst cautioned. “There is no way, for example, that the Deer Management Permit system would come into play next year.”

How to comment For those who have not spoken up, the public comment period on the plan ended July 28, but Hurst said it will be several months before the plan is finalized and his office is not ignoring the opinion of those who are still submitting comments.

Comments may be submitted in writing to DEC Deer Management Plan, NYSDEC, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4754 or by email to deerplan@gw.dec.state.ny.us. Hurst can also be contacted directly at 402-8867.

The plan can be found in its entirety at http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7211.html.

onday, Aug. 15, 2011 has come and gone, and for the vast majority of outdoor travelers, the day passed by nearly unnoticed.

Yet, for a tiny fraction of the millions of outdoor enthusiasts who visit the Adirondacks annually, Monday was an important date.

It signaled the first day that licenses for the annual big game hunting season went on sale. It was a day that caused these enthusiasts to look back to the past, and to dream forward to the future.

Although the day dawned cloudy, cool and drizzly, it provided nothing but sunshine and warm thoughts in the eyes of most sportsmen.

It was a day that stirred up fond memories of past adventures, which mixed easily with anxious anticipation for future pursuits. Regardless of age and experience, the day is always a celebration of youth and the annual adventures that serve to keep us all young.

I thought about this, as I hiked into the woods to my hunting camp on a rainy, Monday afternoon. It is only a short journey to the small cabin, which of- Pictured is the old Wildcliff Lodge on Cranberry Lake. fers just few comforts The place is an original log cabin, that was formerly beyond a simple wood- used to house lumberjacks. It used to attract a lot of stove, and a couple of deer hunters, and a fair share of brook trout anglers.

Despite such rustic austerity, the camp provides an adequate retreat. Although it isn’t located far from the din of civilization, it still provides an adequate escape. Like most camps, it allows me to retreat from the typical cares and concerns of the day, and to slow my pace, and escape the race.

Camps come in all shapes and sizes, but the buildings don't much matter. The physical location is more important than the size or number of structures. A rough camp can be just as comfortable as a Great Camp, since camp is simply a state of mind, and a place in time.

What truly matters is the company we keep, and the commitment to return to camp year after year. The real lure of a camp is the unique draw that continues to bring us back to the woods and waters, from one generation to next.

What is done in camp today has changed very little, from what was done over 100 years ago. It is still intended to offer a respite from the civilized world, and to provide us with a place to hunt deer, swap lies, mess about with boats, catch some fish, eat hearty food, laugh, have a drink, play some cards, smoke cheap cigars, and enjoy the company of old friends.

Although camps are often defined by their physical location, there is a much more potent, spiritual sense of camp. Upon returning to camp, we are transformed, we are relaxed and subdued.

Time slows, worries begin to diminish, appointments are forgotten, good times are remembered and everyday concerns begin to seem just a little less important.

Our worries center on the berries that need to be picked, the fish that must be caught, or that big old buck that always disappears over the far hill, on the evening before opening day. Fortunately, in camp, it always seems such troublesome concerns can be put off for just another day.

While traveling in the Five Ponds Wilderness a few weeks ago, I took the opportunity to revisit the old Wildcliff Lodge, located on the far, southern shore of Cranberry Lake. The property has long since been sold, and it now appears to be abandoned, with roofs sagging, and the buildings in various states of collapse.

But for many years, the remote log lodge was owned and operated by proprietors, Vern and Barbara Peterson. It offered a bar and restaurant, where travelers could always find a warm woodstove and a cold beer, or a home cooked meal, and a kind word.

Generations of hunters and anglers considered it to be their own “camp,” and I was most fortunate to number myself among them.

Despite its current dilapidated condition, I was transported back in time from the very moment I set foot on the shoreline.

Faded business cards still festooned the bulletin board outside on the front porch, and the place still carried the scent of wood smoke, mothballs and wet woolies, despite its many obvious points of ventilation.

It was a camp that I once shared with old friends, many of whom have long since departed. However, as I stepped onto the long, wooden porch, and gently pushed open the front door, their laughter returned. The warmth of their smiles mixed easily with faded memories of the times we had shared, and for one brief moment, I was back to camp.

I carried these memories as I traveled into Spectacle Pond, Olmstead Pond, Simmons Pond and beyond to the old, Slant Rock Camp located high on the hillside near Curtis Pond. I hope to return one day and share in the laughter again. It sure was good to visit the old haunts!

Sen. Betty Little said she approved of the upgrades.

“Scaroon Manor is a r eal treasure that is now accessible to all and that is something wonderful to celebrate,” she said.

Construction on the project began in 2004, and the Day Use area was opened to the public in 2006. Last year, the facility was closed to the public due to state budget cutbacks, angering local of ficials. Work, however was r esumed on the ambitious pr oject, quelling the objections.

At the ribbon-cutting, Town of Chester Supervisor Fred Monr oe praised the collaborative pr oject, noting the new facilities would boost the area’s economy.

“I applaud the long awaited development of the magnificent Scar oon Manor pr operty,” he said, noting its two miles of scenic shoreline.

This is the fifth consecutive summer they’ve sent a series of mission trips to northern Warren County.

Their 2011 mission here, which came to a close recently, included a variety of pro jects.

The gr oup has mended fences, r epaired sagging por ches, cleaned up over grown yards, weeded gardens, and painted dozens of houses, both inside and out. Their work has been accomplished primarily in the towns of W arrensburg, Johnsbur g, Stony Creek and Bolton, YouthWorks site leader David Kawatski said.

In years past, YouthWorks has built equipment and helped run the local Art & Nature Camp pr ogram in Johnsbur g, r enovated dugouts at the town ballfields, and spruced up church sanctuaries.

The Youthworks group has been based in Warrensburg, with the girls staying overnight in sleeping bags on the floors of classrooms at the First United Methodist Church, and the boys in similar accommodations at the Pentecostal Holiness Church. In their rar e spar e time, they wer e hiking, swimming, socializing and worshiping.

Kawatski said the pr ogram annually introduces youth to community service while they learn about the local culture, and form relationships with people of all generations.

“We have really enjoyed meeting the people we’ve worked with and learning about the ar ea,”he said. “W e’re alr eady looking forward to coming back next year.”

Teresa Whalen of Warrensburgh Beautification said the YouthWorks volunteers worked with her several times per week groups at various sites around town.

The youth landscaped at the Warrensburg town hall, the Warrensburgh Farmer ’s Market, the various local school gardens, and at the town Senior Center.

They cleared property, plus planted native

species along Main St., at the schools, and at town parks. Also, at the Warrensburg Community garden, the teenagers planted an asparagus bed, and built a set of composting devices, Whalen said.

“It’s inspiring to experience their incredible spirit of volunteerism,” she said. “And it’s exciting to get all these pr ojects accomplished — YouthWorks is a wonderful pr ogram.”

Lumberjacks from page 1 Beads of sweat ran down her face.

“The people her e ar e amazing — ther e’s a very genuine spirit, and everyone cheers for each other ,” she said.

A few years ago, Davenport, 21, was an all-star high school basketball player in her hometown of Honeoye. Her school’s alltime leading scor er, she won a scholarship to a Division II school, but two years later , decided to devote her energies to woodsmen’s competitions, she said.

“This sport keeps you on your toes and in shape,” she said.

Minutes earlier , T im Keech of Bloomfield edged out other competitors in the chain sawing contest.

His puny 1982 Homelite beat other hefty machines, including a saw power ed by a motorcycle engine.

“My saw is a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” he said, noting much of the event’s success is in the expertise in sharpening the chain.

Matthew Mark was one of Keech’s competitors. In the “hot saw” competition, he was manhandling a huge chain saw power ed by a 270cc Suzuki motor cycle engine. He was competing in 10 dif ferent events during the lumberjack competition, held Aug. 7.

“I love small shows like this, where you can interact a lot with the people,” he said. Marks is pr esident of the New York State Lumberjacks Association, which holds dozens of shows per year around the Northeastern U.S. “It’s a gr eat town and a great cr owd,” he said adding that his group plans to return to Stony Cr eek in 2012.

This year was the first time that Stony Cr eek had lumberjack competitions since 1991. For many years, it had been a beloved tradition that drew many people to the old “Mountain Days” festival, r ecalled Rhonda Thomas as she watched competitors rip thr ough wood with cr osscut saws, soon after hurling heavy dual-blade axes into a target. Thomas, T reasurer of the Stony Cr eek Chamber of Commerce, was a key figure in bringing back the lumberjack events as she helped plan the 2011 Mountain Festival.

She worked to revive the local tradition, she said, because she loved watching the lumbering skills competitions decades ago as a child, attending Mountain Days.

Thomas said the 2011 festival dr ew the biggest crowd in recent years.

“The food booths wer e slammed today,” she said on the fest’s concluding day. “And last night we were busy despite the rain.”

She said a lar ge cr owd enjoyed dancing under the pavilion to the mountain music of Adirondack Gold.

“The place was packed,” she said, noting that the night befor e, dozens danced in the str eets at the town center.

Nearby, lumberjack competitor Jake Bederian, 34, of Warrensburg ripped through timber with his bow saw in an event-winning 7.39 seconds.

He said he enjoyed being back in front of a hometown crowd. The last time he competed in Stony Cr eek, he said, it was as a young teenager.

That year, he said, a competitor in the standing chop event slashed thr ough his boot and cut his toe off.

“It’s safer now , ther e’s better safety equipment, and it’s more family-oriented — there’s no alcohol,” he said, noting he enjoyed competing in a half-dozen of the events in contests held across the state.

“This is what the Adirondacks was built on — lumberjacking,” he said.
