KEESEVILLE — Champlain Valley Habitat for Humanity could have your new home waiting for you.

The local chapter of Habitat for Humanity International has nearly completed construction of a home on Hill Street in the village of Keeseville and is accepting applications from families interested in purchasing the home through an interestfree mortgage.

The process of building a house then finding a homeowner is different from the nonprofit organization’s typical method, said Harriet D. Burrell, president of the Champlain Valley Habitat for Humanity board of directors. Traditionally, said Burrell, a family is selected then that family is required to put in a certain amount of “sweat equity” to help build their home.

Tammy Clark Rivers benefit Literacy Challenge this Saturday at VFW post returning Saturday

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — When she learned her friend was facing terminal illness, Dawn Morrow said she and a group of their mutual friends knew they wanted to do something to help.

Morrow’s friend, Tammy Clark Rivers of Keeseville, was diagnosed with stage four bone cancer late last year. The two women met each other through the Plattsburgh chapters of the Harley Owners Group and Ladies of Harley, two motorcycle riding organizations.

“We’re just one big family and when we heard about her cancer, we knew we needed to do something,” said Morrow.

Morrow and her friends have finalized plans to hold a spaghetti dinner benefit at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1466 on Spellman Road, hoping the event will help Rivers and her husband, Tim Rivers, with the financial burden they’ve incurred for cancer treatments.

“We just want to help them to pay some of their medical bills,” said Morrow.

This is Clark Rivers’ second bout with cancer, she added.

She was first diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago, and, following treatment, it was believed it had been eradicated.

“The doctors thought they got it all, but come to find out, she was only in remission,” explained Morrow.

Clark Rivers’ troubles came back last August when she went to the doctor with back pain.

“She had a blood test and found out the cancer had come back, this time in her back and bones,” said Morrow, adding the disease had spread to her chest and neck. “But, she’s trying to stay as positive as she can and that’s why we want to help.”

The benefit will be held this Saturday, March 6, from 1-6

Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1466 will host a benefit this Saturday, March 6, for Tammy Clark Rivers of Keeseville and her husband, Tim Rivers. Clark Rivers is facing her second bout with cancer.

p.m. The spaghetti dinner will be a $7 donation per person, with children younger than 5 eating free.

For more information or to donate items toward the event, contact Morrow at 493-3161 or 578-7829.

ucates and protects those in need in the surrounding area and across the globe.

“Our chapter has raised $50,000 for Haiti,” said Roberts, referring to the recent earthquake which devastated the island nation. “Nationally, we have raised over $200 million.”

One local elementary school raised $1,608.52 in a week, and the National Red Cross “texting” fundraiser — in which people are able to help the Haiti effort by sending a financial pledge via cell phone text message to 90999 — has raised $30 million, said Roberts.

The local chapter has also taught nearly 7,400 people in the area with their health and safety programs, which include CPR, automated external defibrillator training, and waterfront safety [lifeguard certification] classes.

informational material and safety presentations to various groups.

The chapter is also one of 35 nationwide that supports the Lifeline program, which assists elderly and physically-disabled persons by offering a small device with a button on it which, when activated, alerts the proper authorities when a person has become incapacitated for one reason or another.

“There are over 230 in the program,” Roberts said. “So, if you count the Lifeline volunteers, we have over 500 in our chapter.”

However, since the Red Cross isn’t a government-funded entity, it must rely heavily on the continued financial support of the community.

Events like Fire and Ice, an annual silent and live auction — scheduled this year for Saturday,

March 27, at the West Side Ballroom — help make that happen. In what is considered the chapter ’s biggest fundraiser, the event will also feature a Texas barbecue buffet and a Southwest theme, where participants will be encouraged to wear cowboy and cowgirl outfits.

For more information about Fire and Ice or the many programs and services of the American Red Cross, contact the chapter at 5617280 or visit their Web site at www.northcountryredcross.org.

Volunteers are always needed and the chapter is always ready to help those in need, said Roberts.

“We are always open,” she said.

Shorter URLs can be easier to remember A

,

Adirondack Humane Society

few weeks ago, we looked at the Domain Name System, which is the system that translates a Uniform Resource Locator to the actual Internet address of a Web site in order to simplify Web surfing. For example, users may enter the easy-to-remember www.google.com instead of 72.14.204.104 when desiring a trip to the Google search engine.

The goal for the Web industry, when it comes to domain names, is to design easy to remember names to make it as simple as possible for the average user. That’s easy to do when dealing with the home page of a site, but how is it accomplished when a specific page buried deep within a site is needed? One answer is to use a shortened URL. The shortening of a long URL is a service that acts very much like DNS except it does not translate a URL to an Internet address; it translates a shortened URL to the actual one.

TinyURL is credited with being the first such service, starting around 2002. Since then, hundreds more have appeared with some belonging to notable companies like Google.

Shortening the URL does make it easier for a user to find resources on the Web but it also lends itself to malicious actions. Users could be redirected to a legitimate site or they could be whisked away to a malicious site. Early pranks with shortened URLs took unsuspected users to one of the various so-called shock sites.

Shortened URLs have become problematic in social networking sites to the point they are banned from some. For others, IT professionals highly recommend users always preview a shortened URL before clicking it.

Visit expandmyurl.com or

By Ron Poland www.longurlplease.com to learn more about both shortened URLs and browser plug-ins that give preview capabilities to the user.

elaxation exercises can be very useful in relieving tension and enhancing an overall sense of relaxation.

The focus of these exercises is to calm the body and mind.

Relaxed breathing involves breathing through the diaphragm, which improves circulation and slows down heart rate. To begin, find a comfortable place to lie or sit. Breathe through the nose slowly, allowing your belly to fill with air, while keeping your chest and shoulders still. Exhale through the mouth, letting your belly relax. Relax, and wait for your body to take its next breath. Place your hand on your abdomen, and inhale slowly. Practice this several times a day, for a minute or two each time.

Muscle relaxation techniques involve consciously relaxing all or part of the body and calming the mind as well. Again, start by getting comfortable. Close your eyes and take a few relaxed breaths. Relax your face, including your eyes, jaw, and neck. Now, focus on relaxing your shoulders, letting go of all tension. Let your shoulders drop. From the shoulders, move on to relaxing the arms, hands, and fingers. Let your arms feel

loose and floppy, like a dishrag. Relax your back and chest, breathing all the while. Finally, focus on legs and feet. Spend a minute or two in this state of total relaxation, keeping eyes closed and breathing deeply.

Visualization techniques begin with getting comfortable and breathing deeply. Close your eyes and picture a peaceful place, either somewhere you have visited or a place you imagine as restful. Imagine this place vividly, with colors, sounds and smells. Place yourself in this imaginary spot for a few minutes, breathing and relaxing. When you are ready “to leave,” open your eyes but remain peaceful for a minute or two. Try these techniques whenever stress becomes overwhelming, and practice them regularly.

Couponers share wealth with local pantries

I

received an e-mail from a reader with a great idea about how to share couponing expertise for the good of our communities: “I enjoy reading your articles in my paper every week. I would love to [read] an article encouraging people to use these ideas to shop for local food banks! If someone doesn’t need more cereal to stockpile or doesn’t use a particular brand of something, encourage them to use the coupons to make deals and then donate those products to the food bank.”

I agree one hundred percent! I am a big believer in supporting our food pantries and food banks, especially in the current economy.

It’s rare that a week or two goes by without me visiting and bringing bags of groceries to our local food pantry. I’m not trying to pat myself on the back, but as the reader notes above, the reality is that once we start coupon shopping and improving our Super-Couponing skills, we do reach a point where we may acquire more supplies than we need to support a single household.

I have held off discussing the many ways our local food banks and pantries can benefit from Super-Couponing until now, and I shouldn’t have waited so long. I am quite aware of how many people truly are hurting right now and having difficulty putting food on their tables. For some, the prospect of having not just enough but actually a surplus of food might be hard to imagine. Yet, when you become a proficient coupon user, matching your coupons to your stores’ lowest-priced sales, you indeed may find you reach a point where you’re able to pick up even more things very inexpensively and pass them along to others in need.

Many of my Super-Couponers have written to share their stories of “scoring” food for their local food pantries. One reader wrote to tell me of a $1 yogurt sale at her store ... and right in the coupon dispenser in front of the yogurt were $1 coupons for the same yogurt! She bought what she needed for her family, and then went on to buy more for her local food pantry, too ... and none of it cost a thing! Another reader told of a juice sale in which the bottles of juice were $2.29 and each bottle had $2 peel-off coupons attached to the labels. He

stocked up and picked some up for his local food bank, too.

I’ve had some memorable runs for my local pantry. Recently, a name-brand manufacturer of bratwurst offered a printable coupon on its Web site for $5 off the purchase of three packages. It was an unlimited printable — rare, but not unheard of. (I always hit the back button in my Web browser to try to print coupons until I receive the message that the print limit has been reached, because some coupons do have higher print limits and, occasionally you may run across an unlimited printable.)

This was a very valuable coupon, since one

By Jill Cataldo of my area stores was also having a sale on the same brand of bratwurst: three packages for $5. With a coupon for $5 off the purchase of three, all of the packages were free!

And with an unlimited printable, I could print as many as I’d use.

Early in the week, I bought as many packages as our family would use before the expiration date. On the last day of the sale, I printed 15 more of those coupons and purchased 45 more packages of bratwurst! (Note that I never clean out a store of a product — the store had a huge supply on hand for this sale.) Then, I took all those brats to our food pantry. The volunteers and I giggled as we stuffed packages of brats into every available inch of their refrigerator.

A week later, I returned to the pantry to drop off some other items, and I peeked in their fridge to see how many brats were inside. Not a single package of brats was left. That’s when I realized just how many people are utilizing our local food pantry every day. It’s a similar story at food banks all over the country.

If you’ve reached the point in your couponing journey where you’re able to feed your household for less and pass along surplus items to your local food banks, I guarantee you’ll find it incredibly rewarding to do so. © CTW Features

In speaking with mayors throughout the state, I feel fortunate that although we continue to face challenging issues, our region is much more stable economically than other areas in New York State. We certainly are not immune to financial challenges, however, I continue to receive interest from developers on a regular basis who are looking for opportunities. I believe this is a good sign for all of us long-term.

As long as the town, county and city continue to work together, the region will remain strong through these difficult times.

I had the opportunity this month to attend several events. The groundbreaking of Catherine Gardens was a special event. The project will change the center city as senior and affordable housing is being developed on the old Seton Catholic School property. I met with NYS officials and a business prospect with the hopes of having this company locate in the area. The ice rink on Sharron Avenue has been sold to a group of local investors and the improvements in the building are tremendous. I attended the annual Mayor ’s Cup & Regatta press conference. This year, the city of Plattsburgh and Sunrise Rotary are partnering together to make this year ’s event one of the best.

Despite the negative news out of Washington and Albany, we will continue to all work in the best interests of the region as we move forward. 2010 will be challenging but many good things will happen!

Donald Kasprzak is the mayor of the city of Plattsburgh.

t’s the end of February and the days are getting longer and, though I know we have a long way to go to be finished with winter weather, optimism is in the air! Our highway budget has begun to feel benefits from the lack of snowfall in terms of less overtime and reduced fuel and salt consumption.

I remain optimistic this spring we will begin to see an increase in the number of permits and property sales for investment purposes. For some time I have said our region is ripe for significant economic development and job creation and I continue to feel that way. Even in a bad economy we are a good deal.

A recent report by the Comptroller ’s Office has indicated sales tax in Clinton County increased by 9.3 percent in 2008 over 2007. This was the second largest increase in New York State. During the same period, there were 16 counties that had a negative change! In 2009 Clinton County experienced a -5.6 percent change over 2008 but only four of the 57 counties in NYS did not have a negative change in sales tax collection in 2009, also the state average was -5.9 percent. Our local economy appears to be more stable and a good economist would find it easy to identify the reasons for our stability.

Keeping vigilant of the late blight epidemic f you gardened last year, you know we had a devastating late blight outbreak.

I don’t know of anyone who had tomatoes make it through the entire growing season.

Luckily, the strain of late blight we had in 2009 needs living tissue to overwinter. It will not be in your seeds or in your soil. The only way late blight can and may have overwintered in our area is on potatoes, since the tuber is still living plant material. There are some steps we can take to help reduce the risk of another late blight epidemic.

Let’s start with tomatoes. Try to select disease-resistant varieties for at least some of your crop. “Mountain Magic,” “Plum Regal,” and “Legend” are three varieties with resistance or tolerance to late blight.

Because they are new to the market and of last year ’s epidemic, it is impossible to find seed for these resistant varieties. Growing your own transplants or purchasing from a reputable grower will ensure a healthy start to the season.

Inspect all transplants you buy for cankers or leaf blight before planting. If the plant does not look healthy, don’t buy it.

As for potatoes, do not save tubers as seed to be planted next spring. Purchase certified disease-free potato seed from

a reputable source, and ask your supplier if the field was inspected for late blight. In the spring (April – June), inspect last year ’s potato plot and any compost or cull piles for volunteer potato plants that might come up. If you find potato plants, pull them out and put them in the trash or destroy them. If tubers were infected and survive, then the late blight could grow upward from the tuber, infecting the stem and producing spores when weather conditions are favorable. These spores could then create another epidemic.

For both crops, provide good soil fertility, water drainage, air circulation, and use cultural practices to provide what the crop needs for healthy growth. And finally, during the growing season, pay attention to weather conditions and pest alerts to learn about whether late blight has been observed in New York, and what actions you need to take to protect your crop.

It has been a challenging time and we have felt, and will continue to deal with, the economic crises. Still, I’m confident our region will survive and we will grow. The towns department heads have worked hard to maintain their budgets and work with our board to make cost-effective decisions. Our municipality has sought grants and worked to create a shovel ready environment attractive to business.

Our labor force is capable and our educational institutions able to help fill any skill sets needed. We share services and resources to minimize costs and maximize efficiency within departments and with other municipalities. The North Country knows together we can achieve more and I suspect as 2010 continues to unfold we will see signs of achievement. We are resilient and we don’t give up or give in and, though change may not always be pleasant, we will adapt and we will continue to improve, but then again you knew all that didn’t you!

My journey to the half-marathon

By Martha Breyette

Week Seven

S

o here I am week 7.

I can’t believe I have stuck to a regimen for more than a month and haven’t quit yet. It seems to be becoming more of a routine everyday. I ran 7 miles this weekend and actually felt okay afterwards. I am still slow in my pace but the distance seems to be okay for me. I still have to remind myself to keep hydrated so that I don’t feel lousy.

Now my struggle is getting back from the warm weather and having to fight getting a cold. This is the first time I have been sick since I started this regimen so it is new for me. I am trying to balance keeping up with my exer-

cise and not feeling too run down. I am taking extra vitamin C and watching my peak flows so my asthma doesn’t get affected.

I find myself also wanting to try other exercise workouts like Zumba and Pilates. I never thought I would be such an exercise enthusiast but it really does make me happy. I feel stronger all the time for what I am accomplishing.

I just have to stick with it to see my end result.

“It’s a lengthy process because of the insurance,” said Pivetta. “But they’re good people and doing everything they can to speed it up.”

The town is still in the process of inventorying items lost in the blaze, said Pivetta, though is close to settling with its insurance company for the building. Two new snowplows for the department are on order, with delivery expected the middle of this month.

Ground could be broken for a new five-bay building as early as mid-April, said Pivetta, with the building completed by October. Regardless, the structure will be a vast improvement from the Quonset hut turned into a makeshift home for the highway depart-

ment decades ago, Pivetta added.

“This will be a nice steel building and I think every person in the town of Dannemora will be proud of it,” said the supervisor.

Howard “Pete” Barber, who serves as the town’s highway superintendent, said he looks forward to moving into the new building, which will be designed to be energy-efficient. Currently, the department’s offices are housed in a trailer on the grounds of the former highway garage, with the town utilizing equipment from other municipalities and state agencies, stored in their buildings.

“All the towns around have just ben marvelous, donating time, equipment, even moral support,” chuckled Barber. “It’s been a real nice outpouring of support. I don’t know how I’ll ever repay them.”

Youth commission looking for feedback from kids, parents

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com DANNEMORA — The Village of Dannemora Youth Commission wants to know what programs teenagers would like to participate in and is going straight to the source.

Kristina O’Neill, the commission’s director, said she’s interested in learning what children ages 13-18 and their parents would like offered on a regular basis.

“We already offer sports. We just don’t get the response,” O’Neill said of the youth commission’s summer programs.

The youth commission recently began offering open gym time Tuesdays from 6:30-8 p.m. at the former Dannemora Elementary School building on Emmons Street, open to children ages 8-18.

“I think the kids are going to love that — if we can get them there,” she said.

However, O’Neill said she wants to know what more they can do for teens. She added she’s especially interested in finding activities for teens during the winter months, considering unseasonably warm weather has made it impossible to create a skating rink for the 2009-10 season.

O’Neill said she already knows about one thing kids want in the community — a skateboarding park.

“I know they want a skate park and it’s

something we’ve examined,” said O’Neill.

The costs of building the park and of necessary insurance aside, another potential speed bump is the location for the park.

“We really don’t know where we’d put it,” said O’Neill.

Some have suggested a spot at LaFontaine Park on Smith Street where tennis courts are proposed to be established, said O’Neill.

However, because those plans are already in the works and grant funding has been secured for that purpose, that cannot happen, she said.

The idea hasn’t been dismissed, though O’Neill said, for now, she’d like to focus on what programs the village can offer teens in the foreseeable future. The youth commission is very limited in its membership, especially in parents of teenagers, she added, making it necessary to get more input on decisions from the kids they will affect.

“I just don’t know what they would come to but I’m definitely up to some ideas,” said O’Neill. “We already do a really good job of meeting the needs of the younger kids, but if there’s more we can do for this group, we’d love to help them out.”

The youth commission meets the third Wednesday of every month, at the village office on Emmons Street, beginning at 6 p.m.

Teens and their parents are encouraged to attend meetings to provide their input or contact O’Neill at 492-2606.

“I’d really like some parent commitment, too,” said O’Neill.

Habitat From page 1 The reason for the change in routine is because another family previously selected for the home will not be moving in, said Burrell.

“The circumstances changed for the other family and they were not able to take it,” she said.

However, the situation presents the opportunity for another family.

“This house is almost built, so the family we choose will be able to move in with relatively short order,” said Burrell.

Even though the three-bedroom home is near completion, there will still be a requirement for sweat equity.

“It’ll be helping to grade and put in their lawn, as well as working on other projects for Habitat for Humanity,” said Burrell.

In addition to provided volunteer labor, those wishing to apply to become owners of

the Habitat house must currently live in substandard housing in Clinton County and meet certain income guidelines.

Having a Habitat home can be a life-changing move, said Burrell, and mean the difference between living in a nightmare and the home of their dreams.

“It’s giving them a chance to buy a piece of the American dream,” she said. “And, it’s a hand up, not a hand out.”

Homeowner applications may be obtained by contacting Habitat for Humanity at 5647790, visiting www.cvhfh.com, or writing to Champlain Valley Habitat Humanity, P.O. Box 55, Peru N.Y. 12972.

The deadline for applications is Wednesday, March 10.

“Whether it will be extended or not, I don’t know,” said Burrell.

Alexanders honored by United Way

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. has named Daniel E. and Gayle M. Alexander recipients of this year's Dorothy and Alan Booth Distinguished Citizen Award.

The Elizabethtown couple was presented the award during the organization's annual dinner at the West Side Ballroom Feb. 27. The award, established in 1985, recognizes its recipients for their commitment to the community.

The Alexanders exemplify what the Booths stood for, said United Way executive director John C. Bernardi “Dorothy and Alan Booth epitomize volunteers, community spirit and compassion,” said Bernardi.

“Dan and Gayle are also credibly generous to the community with their money, their time, their energy and their enthusiasm.”

“I like to refer to them as ‘the dynamic duo,’” Bernardi added with a laugh.

The award was a surprise to the Alexanders, as the couple thought they were attending the annual dinner just as they have done in the past, to support the United Way and honor the Distinguished Citizen Award recipients.

“We were surprised and humbled to be considered in the company of the former recipients,”

said Dan Alexander. “John confirmed that we would be attending but did not say why.”

“We always try to attend each year so in hindsight it was a strange question,” added Gayle Alexander.

The Alexanders, who have both been avid supporters of the United Way, each said they were humbled when called to the podium. Dan Alexander, who chaired last year ’s fundraising campaign, said, like those honored before them, their commitments to the community aren’t made to win awards.

“Our actions are based on the way we were brought up by our families, schools, church and our sense of responsibility to give back to the community,” he said. “Gayle and I have been very fortunate in life; we’ve worked hard, enjoyed the fruits of those efforts and have been able to share with others. That in itself is reward enough, but to be so recognized with this award was truly a surprise.”

“We get so much satisfaction and joy to be able to give our time to causes in which we really believe,” agreed Gayle Alexander. “I think we get back much more than we give. We were truly touched to receive this award.”

The award meant even more to the Alexanders as they were the first honorees to receive the award since it was given last year to Gordon J. Hazel Jr., who recently passed away after a long battle

“It is quite an honor to be considered in the same company as Gordon, the Booths and, for that matter, all of those who have been singled out in the past for this honor,” said Dan Alexander. “One can't help but feel a little overwhelmed and even undeserving when you look at the list of recipients. We are both honored and humbled to be a part of that distinguished group.”

“If I had to share an award with anyone, I can’t think of a better person to share it with than my wife of 34 years and counting,” he added. “She has a very big heart and is tireless in her support of community projects.”

“That goes double for me,” added Gayle Alexander. “I am always in awe of how much Dan can fit into a day, from early morning meetings to late nights in his study.

I use him as my role model. I'm

very pleased to see that kind of dedication recognized by our peers.”

Bernardi said naming the Alexanders as this year ’s recipients was a well-made decision.

“This couple works extraordinarily hard for causes they believe in ... they are truly deserving of the classification as distinguished citizens,” he said. “I’m so proud to be a friend of theirs. They’re two people that I respect and admire a tremendous amount and they’re both an incredible asset to our community.”

Hazel Jr., past recipients of the Dorothy and Alan Booth Distinguished Citizen Award include: Dorothy Crawford, 2008; Bonnie Black, 2007; Larry and Judy Jeffords, 2006; Michael Whalen, 2005; Andrew Schonbek, 2004; Dr. Kjeli Dahlen, 2003; Robert C.

Frostfilled fun!

When snow hits the North Country, it hits hard as the Kelting family of Morrisonville will tell you. When school was cancelled across the region Feb. 24, the Keltings spent the day building an extra-large snowman, seen here. Elijah, 11; Addison, 8; and Liam, 5, are seen with their snowy creation.

12 - CLINTON TODAY • ADIRONDACK OUTDOORS

SATURDAY March 6, 2010

Kids spend more time in a virtual, instead of a natural world A

lthough I passed the half-century mark a few years back, I still believe I was a kid during the modern era.

Sure, I remember dialing only four numbers to call a friend, but the fact I actually ‘dialed’ a phone, rather than pushed buttons, is likely a better indication of my current technological prowess. I guess what really dates me is I watched the original moonwalk, 25 years before Michael Jackson performed it.

Today’s kids are growing up in a far different world than I grew up in so many years ago. As can be expected, they are technically literate, since technology has always been a major focus of their lives. They're multitaskers and are proficient at juggling sports, school and the constant communication demands of social interests. They use the Internet for entertainment via on-line videos, on-line games and virtual worlds or to download music and use social networking sites. Cell phones have made their communications immediate, whether texting messages to friends or visiting a Website, it is accomplished instantly in the palm of the hand.

Despite the convenience of such modern amenities, today’s kids have less freedom, due primarily to several generations of parents that had too much. They also have a huge, daily load of schoolwork and are under constant pressure to fulfill expectations to possess either a perfect resume by age 18, or have the SAT scores necessary to be ac-

cepted by a college that guarantees their success. It was much easier being a kid in the day of Leave it to Beaver and Andy of Mayberry.

With so many responsibilities, it’s a wonder today’s kids have any time to play, yet the most disturbing news is their play is far different than anything we could have possibly imagined.

Additionally, electronics are available to the kids 24/7, as one child explained, “At night, I can text or watch something on YouTube until I fall asleep. It lets me talk on the phone and watch a video at the same time, or listen to music while I send text messages. I also use it as an alarm clock since it has a really annoying, ringtone!”

Growing up, we never thought our parents knew as much as they thought they did about what we were doing, but now technology has created a world where our own children are even further removed from parental oversight. They are virtually going to places we had never considered. As a result, it is imperative parents provide today’s children with a grounded experience, on hard ground. It’s also much easier, and more fun, to wake up on the hard ground at a young age.

Most of us didn’t simply wake up one day and decide we were going to be outdoor enthusiasts. Something or someone typically provokes the decision and it usually began in childhood, which is the best time to expose people to outdoor fun.

For the majority of outdoor travelers I know, the process usually started as a kid

Adults that take the time to introduce their children to the ways of the woods and waters will be assured a willing companion for future adventures. while canoeing with a Boy or Girl Scout troop, attending Summer Camp, skiing with a family friend or learning how to hunt or fish from a favorite uncle.

During the summer, camping trip provided opportunities to hike, explore and see wild animals and pick up insects with our hands. If our initial experience in the outdoors was pleasant and exciting, it eventually grew to become a regular habit as an adult.

There has never been such a vital time to share our knowledge and skills. If the out-

door legacy is to live on, it is the responsibility of previous generations to insure the current generation has an opportunity to have their feet in a stream, a rod in their hands or their butt in a canoe. Together, we must make the forests and streams much more entertaining than virtual reality.
