Students from Peru Central School led their peers from four neighboring Adirondack schools in the CFES Student Leadership Summit at the CFES Center in Essex on April 29. These students, known as scholars, are part of the College For Every Student (CFES) program that targets low-income students to help them get to and through college. After the summit, students cleaned up Beggs Park as part of a leadership through service project.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Richard Stonitsch grew angrier and angrier throughout May. When his disgust reached a boil, he intended on going to an Essex County Board of Supervisors meeting that morning to voice his displeasure. But heÕ d injured his back and instead started emailing a reporter.

In came the series of emails showcasing his disgust with a vehicle, a 2008 Ford Fusion, that he bought at an auction brokered by Auctions International last July.

They came flooding in, photos of a county vehicle caked with grime and trash. The seats were stained, and the interior streaked with a gooey-looking substance. Proof was in the county placard CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

National Quality Award presented to wound center SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Wound and Hyperbaric Treatment Center at Adirondack Health has received a national award for superior customer service and exceptional patient care.

Located on Old Lake Colby Road behind Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake, the Wound Care Center and its staff of specially trained physicians registered nurses and medical professionals are the recipients of the Center of Distinction Award.

The award is presented by Healogics, Inc., a nationally recognized leader in wound care services. Ò In order to excel at the treatment of complex wounds, one needs persistence, a skilled team and the appropriate tools,Ó said Dr. Claude Roland, FACS, medical director for Wound Care. Ò We are very fortunate to have been able to provide these elements for success to the numerous patients we have had the privilege to help since we opened our doors in February 2012.Ó To be considered for the special designation, the Wound Care Center achieved exceptional clinical outcomes for 12 consecutive months, including patient satisfaction ratings over 92 percent, a wound healing rate of 91 percent within 30 days and other quali-

ty outcomes. Of the 511 centers eligible for the Center of Distinction award, only 157 achieved the honor including the Wound Care Center at Adirondack Health.

The Wound and Hyperbaric Treatment Center offers highly specialized wound care to patients suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds that have not responded to previous therapies. Advanced treatments include hyperbaric oxygen therapy and negative pressure wound therapy.

KVLA director Karen Glass receives 24th Award of Excellence

LAKE PLACID Ñ Having Ò many talents,Ó a Ò stand-out reputationÓ and Ò providing valuable insightsÓ are just a few of the phrases used to describe the recipient of the 24th Award for Excellence in Library Service.

The Northern New York Library Network presented this yearÕ s award to Keene Valley Library Association (KVLA) Director Karen Glass. She was presented with the honor during the NNYLNÕ s Annual Meeting held May 22 at the Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid.

The NNYLN, based in Potsdam, provides services to libraries in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis, Oswego and St. Lawrence counties. The Excellence Award is given annually to a library staff member or director who contributes to the encouragement of reading and creation of inducements to greater use of library materials; promotes interlibrary cooperation and sharing and provides open access to information for all, among other attributes. Ò ItÕ s important to Karen that all members of her community enjoy and value their library,Ó a letter of nomination on Ms. GlassÕ s behalf stated. Ò She has brought recognition to the library in many ways - through excellent and well-attended programs, through her promotion of the library within the CEF (Clinton-Essex-Franklin) System, as well as involving the town supervisor in regular gatherings with constituents at the library.Ó Ò I think KarenÕ s willingness to step bravely Ô out of the boxÕ and try anything that will be of service to her community is part of what makes her so integral,Ó another letter said. Ò Karen has her finger on the pulse of her community, and keeps it there cheerfully

and tirelessly,Ó the letter continued. Ò Thanks to her excellence in service, energy, and caring, it is beating strongly for local residents, and for all of us in the larger library community.Ó Ò Her enthusiasm for books and reading is contagious,Ó a letter of support said. Ò Karen relates well to all ages and designs programs to engage every group. Technology sessions for senior citizens are a very common occurrence at the library, and Karen also makes it her mission to become comfortable with new technology in order to help people who need it. Her friendly, no pressure approach, her ability to listen and her training as a teacher are always appreciated by patrons.Ó Following the presentation Ms. Glass said, Ò Mostly, I was humbled by the recognition. I am more aware now than ever that I do not function alone. It is with the help of CEF (Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System) especially that I can look at the role of a library in a community. I can offer programs, write grants, process books, and many other things because the staff at CEF have always been there with support. Ò The KVLA library board is also to be thanked for first giving me the freedom and encouragement to offer programs and create a welcoming space, and also for holding me to a high stand of librarianship. The staff at the library are also the best. We work as a team; we work together to solve problems and make the library a resource to the community,Ó she added. Ò Thank you for your trust in me and your continued support. I have always valued NNYLN services, especially ICEPAC, the training workshops and the archival digitizing help.

I am happy to be part of your on-going services and tradition,Ó Ms. Glass said.

Over 60 individuals from the NNY Library NetworkÕ s seven-county region were on hand to congratulate Ms. Glass on her award.

AMC named great community hospital

SARANAC LAKE Ñ Adirondack Medical Center has been named among the Ò 100 Great Community HospitalsÓ in the nation by BeckerÕ s Hospital Review for 2014.

The hospitals on the list have fewer than 550 beds and minimal teaching programs. Some are located in suburban areas, but many are found in rural areas and serve as the only hospitals in their communities. Whether independent or part of a larger health system, the Ò great community hospitalsÓ have continually worked to provide the quality of care and the experience patients deserve and expect. Adirondack Medical Center, a 97-bed facility, is a member of Adirondack Health, the only full-service health system in the Adirondack Park. Ò It is humbling and gratifying for Adirondack Health to receive this recognition,Ó said Patti Hammond, chief operating officer for Adirondack Health. “However, this unique designation is the result of our patients and long-term care residents who choose us because they know they will receive consistent, highquality care.Ó The criteria for selecting the community hospitals was based on rankings and awards from iVantage Health Analytics, Truven Health Analytics (formerly Thomson Reuters), CareChex and the American Hospital Association.

In addition to AMC in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, Adirondack Health offers primary care services in Keene, Lake Placid, Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake; a broad range of specialty care services, physical rehabilitation services, dental care and long term care at sites in Lake Placid and Tupper Lake.

WiFi in the Adirondacks?

C

anada recently decided to install WiFi at 20 locations in its national parks system, according to Time Magazine.

If the experiment is successful, a total of 75 hotspots might be installed over the next few years. The decision has turned out to be somewhat controversial and it would be shortsighted to think a similar debate will not emerge in the Adirondacks. Ò What weÕ re trying to do is have it around the spots where people can write a digital postcard home, where they could in the morning pick up and take their digital subscription and read the newspaper when theyÕ re around the campground,Ó Director of Visitor Experience with Parks Canada Andrew Campbell told CTV News, adding that internet would only be made available at visitor centers and campgrounds. Ò Those sorts of things are what people have been asking us for, and so weÕ re trying to provide that to our visitors.Ó But many see the installation of Wi-Fi as a threat to an authentic wilderness experience.

“No sooner have you seen your first Canadian black bear or mountain peaks reflected in the perfect stillness of Lake Louise, then someoneÕ s phone will go off,Ó Sophie Campbell told the Telegraph in a representative comment. Ò Or maybe Wi-Fi will only be accessible in the campsites, where happy childrenÕ s faces will be lit not by the glow of a campfire but by the glow of Grand Theft Auto 5. HereÕ s to modern wilderness: tweet, tweet!Ó Speaking to CBC, Farley Mowat, a Canadian author and environmentalist, was perhaps more hyperbolic. Ò My thoughts can be expressed quite simply. I think it is a disastrous, quite stupid, idiotic concept, and should be eliminated immediately,Ó Mowat said. Ò I have very strong feelings that national parks, provincial parks, any kind of parks, that are theoretically set up to provide for the protection of nature, in some form or another, should be respected absolutely and ultimately and human beings should be kept out of them as much as possible.Ó At the risk of coming across as the callous Once-ler who chopped down the Truffula trees in Dr. SeussÕ 1971 ecological parable The Lorax, we believe these concerns, while well inten-

VoiceYourOpinion

tioned, are misplaced. First, to address Sophie CampbellÕ s chief point, we think that how outdoor enthusiasts employ Wi-Fi in the outdoors is really of no concern to us, so long as they donÕ t disturb wildlife, the ecosystem, or other human visitors. Second, to address MowatÕ s overarching point, we believe that, while it might happen less than we might like in practice, outdoor enthusiasts can exist in nature without disturbing wildlife and the ecosystem.

We also believe that if done with great care, the equipment needed to support hotspots could be installed without harming or intruding on these either.

Kathy Daley, a camping enthusiast from Winnipeg, who spoke to CBC, offered what we see as the most sensible position. Ò I think the idea of Wi-Fi in the national parks is great,Ó Daley said. Ò I think if itÕ s available to people who want it fantastic and if you donÕ t want to partake just donÕ t bring your phone.Ó We believe Wi-Fi access in Canadian national parks and eventually remote sections of the Adirondack wilderness would have practical benefits for outdoor enthusiasts, not the least of which being safety advantages. Imagine, say, a hiker was injured on the trail in an area where there was no cell-phone coverage.

With Wi-Fi, help from a forest ranger could be acquired with a quick email to the proper authorities. In fact, we would support a plan for Wi-Fi in the Adirondack Park that goes further than that currently slated in CanadaÕ s national parks. The arguments in favor of internet access at visitor centers and campgrounds, especially the safety arguments, apply to more remote sections of the wilderness as well, if not more so.

We believe that itÕ s only a matter of time before wireless-internet access is made available everywhere in the world, including the Adirondack Park. Opposing this inevitability is, like it or not, similar to opposing an incoming tide.

And as far as weÕ re concerned, so long as the installation and use of Wi-Fi does not disturb wildlife, the ecosystem, and other outdoor enthusiasts Ñ which we believe is theoretically possible Ñ itÕ s something to be welcomed. ÑD

Letters to the Editor

Honor Flight a great experience To the Editor: ItÕ s hard to describe to anyone how great the Honor Flight experience was. ItÕ s evident that there has been a lot of hard work and planning to pull off an event like this. I think that every veteran that served in World War II should take advantage of this trip.

IÕ ve heard of several guys right here in this area that wonÕ t go.

I think they’re missing the experience. At first, I hesitated — it was a long trip in one day. But it sure panned out.

In one way, I didnÕ t realize there was such a outpouring of thanks for our service. I had no idea.

When we first went into the service, we took the oath at a post office in Albany. Afterwards, this old gunner’s mate said, ‘If you want to get along in this manÕ s navy, keep your mouth shut and your bowels open.Ó What a difference from Honor Flight then when we first went in. He wasnÕ t thanking us Ñ he was ordering us!

County wrong on Frontier Town sale To the Editor: I have been a resident of Essex county all my life. An auction should speak for itself. The sale goes to the highest bidder.

George Moore, in good faith, bought a piece of property in a previous tax sale. When the new tax sale was announced, George traveled to look at the properties being offered for sale. George attended the next tax sale as he had done before. He had the highest bid for the property under consideration. There was no notice about sales not being final. The right thing to do would be stand by your obligation to be fair with your taxpayers. George should be sold the property as any tax auction normally insures.

In case this goes to court and appeals, the Town of North Hudson should be paying all court costs. This is not an Essex County expense. It is a North Hudson Expense.

Duck Derby a resounding success To the Editor:

On Sunday, June 15, the Wadhams Volunteer Fire Company held the 4th annual Boquet River Duck Derby. Despite having to detour the derby to a land route, as a result of river water that was much too high and fast, the running of the ducks was a great success. 450 ducks raced down Church Street in water released from the back of a fire truck as enthusiastic fans ran alongside, cheering them on.

Cash prizes were awarded to the first three ducks across the finish line. A drawing for more than 40 additional prizes, donated by local businesses and artists, was held immediately following the conclusion of the race. All proceeds from the derby go to the Wadhams Fire Company Community Fund, which is used to support local families and community causes in times of need.

Wadhams Fire Comopany would like to thank the following

for their generous donations of prizes, which helped to make the event so successful: Flower Designs by Tracey, Aerobie Fields Pottery, Adirondack Daylilies, TJÕ s Adirondack Candles, Kelley Handweaving, Dogwood Bread Company, Spring Hill Farm, ErnieÕ s Market, Juniper Hills Farm, Camp Dudley, Westport Country Club, Evelyn Brant, Gary Hayes, Lake Champlain Yoga Arts, Normandie Beach Club, EverybodyÕ s Market, Westport Main Street Diner, Bruce Misarski & Bridgette Blemel, Depot Theatre, Glenn Estus Photography, K&D Deli, Westport Hotel and Tavern, Northwaters and Langskib Wilderness Program and Liberty Soapworks.

We would also like to thank all those who supported the derby by purchasing tickets, coming to the event, and cheering on the ducks. We hope to see you again, next year.

Dynamic duo coming to Essex

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com ESSEX Ñ Dan Berggren and Carl Heilman will present an evening of Adirondack sights and sounds for a fundraiser for the Essex Community Concert Series July 11 at 7:30 p.m.

“Having Dan and Carl perform a benefit program, we thought, would be a great way to invite people from all over the park to visit the Champlain Valley, get a glimpse of what it has to offer as well as sharing what our series has to offer: great music performed by both locally cherished and world famous artists at a low cost,Ó said Peggy Staats, committee chairman of the Essex Community Concert Series. Ò ItÕ s a good thing to support the people who book, organize and run a concert series in Essex for the good of the community at large,Ó Berggren said. Ò I canÕ t think of a better opportunity to get an evening of incredible Adirondack images by such a skilled photographer and teacher as Carl Heilman, combined with music and stories about the region.Ó The benefit concert will consist of Heilman’s multimedia presentation Ò I Am the AdirondacksÓ and BerggrenÕ s blend of songs and stories that he himself wrote. Ô HISTORICAL SONGSÕ Ò I do [my works] with words and music so the audience membersÕ imaginations are creating their own pictures,Ó Berggren said.

Berggren said he wonÕ t know what songs heÕ ll be singing until the day of the concert.

However, heÕ s certain he will be performing Ò HereÕ s to YouÓ and Ò Alice.Ó Berggren wrote Ò HereÕ s to YouÓ in 1992 to celebrate the centennial of the Adirondack Park. Its four versus take the regionÕ s history from the Native Americans to the present, with the second verse relevant to Essex and neighboring villages.

The other song, Ò Alice,Ó is based on a true story about Alice Switzer, a woman from BerggrenÕ s hometown of Minerva, who, in her retirement, volunteered to lead a community chorus. Ò This gave folks the opportunity that many of them hadnÕ t experienced since high school: to sing for fun with friends and neighbors,Ó Berggren said. Ò Since the concert Carl Heilman and I are doing together is a benefit to raise funds for a not-for-profit community organization, I thought this song would be appropriate.Ó Ô ADIRONDACK PHOTOSÕ HeilmanÕ s presentation Ò I Am the AdirondacksÓ is based on a poem written by Miriam Davis Kashiwa, a poem in which the Adirondacks speaks in its own voice to introduce visitors to the region. Ò The intent of the program is to evoke a sense of our being part of the wild, natural world,Ó

Heilman said. Ò Going into the wilderness is about leaving the everyday behind and being absorbed in the flow of the nature. Ò It is about venturing into the spectacular and finding wonder in the details.”

The music for this program was a collaborative effort by Adirondack folk musicians, Berggren, Dan Duggan and Peggy Lynn along with composer and musician Casey Filiaci, who each put in their own talents and love for the Adirondacks to create this soundtrack.

HeilmanÕ s images, combined with the music and the narrative edited from Miriam KashiwaÕ s poem, capture the spirit of the Adirondack Park. Ò As much as we separate ourselves from a life in nature, we still need to live in balance with the Earth and remember how much of an effect our lifestyle has on the world we are living in,Ó Heilman said. Ò We ARE nature.Ó

Ô ESSEX ORGANÕ The Essex Community Concert Series began in 1990 when Donald Beggs, seasonal resident of Essex, gave the Warren A. Cross Memorial Organ as a gift to the town.

The organ was a creation of Japp Van der Veer of the Netherlands, assembled in his shop in Holland. He made the wood pipes himself out of 150-year-old pine with metal pipes made by a small firm in Germany.

The organ was disassembled and shipped via air to Essex where it was reassembled in the Essex Community Church by Van der Veer and his family. After the assembly and tuning in the summer of 1990, the concert series began. Ò Donald BeggsÕ intention was to have the organ used for religious services and public recitals for years to come,Ó Staats said. Ò Donald BeggsÕ gift is still giving after 34 years.Ó Ô CONCERT SERIESÕ The Essex County Concert Series Committee is based out of the Essex Community Church that also is an ecumenical committee made up of both Essex Community Church members and community members. Ò Initially, the concert series hosted only organists,Ó Staats said. Ò Now, the series has branched out to include a variety of genres and instruments.Ó For this summer, the concert series has three organists, two pianists, three vocal groups and a chamber music group that perform classical, bluegrass and gospel music.

The series relies on ticket sales, private donations and grants such as the DEC grant and the Essex Arts Council CAP grant.

The events put on by the committee cost $10 per adult for evening concerts, $5 optional donation for mid-day concerts and nothing for children and students.

County Car From page 1

hanging on the rearview mirror, photos of the vehicle and the auction files. Ò I just got so disgusted when looking at pictures on my laptop, I wanted to do something about it,Ó Stonitsch said. Ò The mechanic said it was beautiful, but it stunk to holy hell when I went to pick it up. At first, I was confused that I had the wrong vehicle.Ó Stonitsch, who is a resdient of Ticonderoga, flips cars as a side gig but lost out on this one.

He said he bought the former county vehicle with 99,886 miles for $3,700, but the transmission was blown. That cost $1,800, plus another $600 for brakes, before he sold it for $6,000. Ò What this boils down to is that the vehicle is not being taken care of,Ó Stonitsch said. Ò If the maintenance was done properly, it would probably still be on the road.Ó In an email to Essex County Board Chairman Randy Douglas, Stonitsch admitted that he was aware of the as-is purchasing conditions. A listing for the vehicle clearly indicated the terms and conditions of the sale and noted the condition of the transmission as blown, and the condition of the interior, as Ò good.Ó Ò But as a taxpayer,Ó he wrote, Ò along with my six kids that are taxpayers, IÕ m not happy about the so-called maintenance and cleanliness done to this vehicle.Ó Douglas said he would look into it.

Stonitsch wondered if all county-owned vehicles in their fleet were being treated the same way.

County vehicles have mandated retirement dates, said County Attorney Daniel Manning, and the vehicle in question would have been put on the auction block regardless of its condition.

The silver-colored Focus was traced back to a Department of Social Services worker.

County Manager Daniel Palmer said that after he learned of the issue, he gathered the department heads together and chided them to take better care of their vehicles. Ò Some people keep them clean, some donÕ t,Ó he said. Ò But the bottom line is these cars have to be kept clean.Ó Ò Pictures donÕ t lie, and the ones I saw were disgusting,Ó said Department of Social Services Commissioner John OÕ Neill.

“We have many cars in the fleet, with many different people using the cars. Often they are transporting families with children, and cars get dirty, and we remind staff to clean the car after use. For more thorough cleaning, we have depended on another county department, but they have been overworked and understaffed recently, so regular cleaning has not been happening as dependably as we thought.Ó OÕ Neill said his department has taken steps to ensure that his departmentÕ s vehicles will be kept clean. They plan on purchasing cleaning kits for each vehicle, instituting regular spot checks and Ò discussing ways to have each car cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis.Ó Stonitsch said he was satisfied with the results.

But a few hours later, another email came in alerting a reporter to another perceived problem with the county’s vehicular fleet. Ò When I get the new laptop back, I will send you the pictures,Ó he wrote. Ò I canÕ t download them now.Ó

Southern Soul Night to begin seven week series LAKE PLACID Ñ The Pines Inn Songs at Mirror Lake Music Series presented by Adirondack Ò By OwnerÓ has announced the first performance in the seven week series, scheduled for Tuesday, July 1, as Southern Soul Night with JJ Grey & Mofro brought to you by Curtis Lumber. The Pines Inn Songs at Mirror Lake Music Series presented by Adirondack Ò By OwnerÓ is held at 7 p.m. on seven Tuesdays throughout the summer at MidÕ s Park on Main Street, Lake Placid. This will be the first of many performances in the newly renovated Paul White Memorial Band Shell at MidÕ s Park.

These weekly performances, running from July 1 through Aug. 12, feature local, regional and national acts in the scenic and historic setting of MidÕ s Park on Main Street, Lake Placid, New York. The series features local and regional emerging artists in a variety of musical genres and provides valuable exposure to these up and coming acts. The music series is also an opportunity to introduce residents and visitors to a diverse range of musical genres in a scenic and relaxing setting.

Over the course of six albums and a decade of touring, JJ GreyÕ s grimy blend of front porch soul and down-home storytelling has taken him around the world and back again. Beating the streets on nearly every continent, he and his band Mofro have sewn a continuous thread of laying-it-on-the-line shows that move folks to dance and at times to tears.

JJ was raised in North Florida by a typically Southern extended family that valued hard work and self-reliance. This upbringing permeates his no nonsense approach to writing and performing and has given him an abundance of material to write about in his songs. Ò A friend of mine once said that weÕ re all characters if weÕ re given enough room to be one. I guess I was lucky enough to be surrounded by people who had plenty of room cause Lord knows I know some larger-than-life ones. IÕ ve had a lot of laughs and good times with those characters. WeÕ ve shared some hard times too.Ó These characters and JJÕ s own triumphs and struggles, make regular appearances throughout his lyrics. Ò Looking at his show now, itÕ s remarkable to think how far heÕ s come, and to realize the creative spirit and force of will itÕ s taken to get there,Ó says longtime producer and friend Dan Prothero. Ò But itÕ s also remarkable to see him up there singing about the worst of it, and smiling a smile that has come from accepting the good with the bad. In recent years I think he’s come to realize that the fight-

JJ Grey ing stance that seemed to get him where he needed to go back then wasnÕ t getting him where he needed to go now, and so he changed. Letting go and letting it all happen is at the heart of his creative process now.Ó Ò The best songs IÕ ve ever wrote, I never wrote. They wrote themselves. The best show I ever played, played itself and had little to do with me or talent. To me those things come from the power of an honest moment and I guess IÕ m trying to live in that power and not force life to cough up what I want. That power is always there whether IÕ m aware of it or not. Force is the opposite. It requires effort and comes at a great cost. The cost has always been my freedom to truly enjoy what IÕ m doing while IÕ m doing it.Ó April 2013 brings the release of JJÕ s sixth studio album, This River. Named for the St. JohnÕ s River -- a centering point for his childhood near Jacksonville, Florida -- This River flows from freewheeling celebrations (Ò FlorabamaÓ ) to dark inner journeys (Ò Somebody ElseÓ ), from late night, beer-soaked testimonials (Ò Your LadyÓ ) to heartfelt ballads of the almost-forgotten (Ò The Ballad Of Larry WebbÓ ), and ends with the title track and a singularly devastating vocal performance. With Dan Prothero at the

helm as producer, JJ and the band once again returned to Retrophonics Studio in nearby St. Augustine, Florida and muscled out some of JJÕ s strongest material to date. Ò We set up much like we do for our shows, and cut the tracks as close to live as possible,Ó says Grey, Ò thereÕ s something about everybody getting into one room and playing together. It brings some spark that can sometimes get lost in the shuffle of too much overdubbing.Ó JJÕ s band Mofro has also been a decade in the making. Over that time, great players have come and gone, but according to JJ, the present incarnation -- with Art Edmaiston on saxophone, Dennis Marion on Trumpet, Anthony Farrell on organ and piano, Todd Smallie on Bass, Anthony Cole on drums and Andrew Trube on guitar Ð is Ò the cr• me de la cr• meÓ Ò These musicians I get to play with make it look easy. IÕ ve learned so much from them about music and about life in general. It ainÕ t always easy to keep a core together when you do so many shows a year, year after year, but I truly hope to keep these guys together as long as possible.Ó Many of Grey’s songs reflect his love for the North Florida wilderness in which he grew up. Having watched his native home be decimated by egregious development, and this has often figured heavily into his lyrics. He now works with groups such as The Snook & Gamefish Foundation and the St. Johns Riverkeepers, but still doesnÕ t consider himself an environmentalist. Ò I guess IÕ ve never really believed that there is an environment thatÕ s separate from me I reckon that my connection to the environment, which I could call my home, is part of the connection to myself. I believe that whatever I do to my home and everything in it, I in-turn do to myself.Ó From his early days playing cover music behind chicken wire at a Westside (Jacksonville) juke joint to playing sold-out shows and some of the largest music festivals in the world, itÕ s been a long road. But JJ has no illusions about where heÕ s headed or where heÕ s been. When prompted with questions about his past accomplishments or future plans, JJ lays down a little backwoods wisdom: Ò IÕ m just a salmon swimming up stream. Going back home I reckon. I donÕ t know why and I quit caring why a long time ago.

I guess there is no Ô whyÕ that my mind could understand anyway. All I do know is that IÕ ve enjoyed and IÕ m still enjoying every second of just being here and doing whatever it is IÕ m doing.Ó

In camp and on the river E

very now and then, in the Adirondacks the stars, and the moon and the sky line up in just the perfect manner to provide a perfect end to a perfect day.

As woodland wanderers trudge back to camp tired and sore from the dayÕ s adventures, The sky is cobalt blue, with puffy clouds puffy chasing across the far horizon and streaks of magenta sunset staining the late day horizon.

In camp, a fire snaps and crackles under a fresh load of cedar twigs, accompanied by the roar of dry birch logs.

The weather is fair, and a sweet, warm breeze riffles across the waters to chase away the late day punkies. Lighting bugs begin to glow in the nearby field, as the low who-who of an owl’s note whispers from the woods.

Soon, a million stars appear to light up the evening sky and the full moon shines overhead. Crickets begin to chirp, while far off in the distance, a loon lets loose with a mournful tune. It echoes across rippling waters where dappled stars dance on the surface, and is chased back by the surrounding hills.

Such is camp life, where the sweetest sound is the giggling of kids nestled in their sleeping bags, attempting to drown out the roar of their fatherÕ s incessant snore.

A child who has never experienced such joys, is surely missing out on one of the true joys of childhood; and any parent who fails to provide such experiences is missing out on some of the finest memories a family will ever share.

Camping is an activity that fosters cooperation and compassion. It can make men out of boys, and boys out of men, or women.

Fortunately, family camping has become much easier in recent years. There are numerous how-to manuals, and even self-erecting tents.

Flame-free LED lights have replaced the glow of white gas lanterns, and foam pads are now incorporated right into the sleeping bag. ThereÕ s no need to blow up a leaky old, air mattress.

A night under the stars can be as comfortable as sleeping under the roof of your own house, although the air conditioning is likely to be sweeter and the atmosphere more entertaining.

For those who may prefer to rough it a bit easier, this may be the perfect weekend to camp a little closer to home, as the National Wildlife Federation is again hosting their Annual Great American Backyard Campout on Saturday, June 28, 2014!

The annual event finds thousands of people across the nation gathering in their backyards, neighborhoods, communities and parks to take part in a fun-filled evening for all generations to get outside and connect with nature.

Great American Backyard Campout¨ is a part of National Wildlife FederationÕ s efforts to help inspire Americans to protect wildlife, including a three-year campaign to get 10 million kids to spend regular outdoor time in nature.

Since 2005, thousands of people from across the nation have come together the fourth Saturday of June to participate in the Great American Backyard Campout in support of Great Outdoors Month. The annual nationwide event is designed to promote the benefits of camping as a way to connect people with nature and support NWFÕ s efforts to get kids outdoors.

This year, NWF has set a goal of getting more than 200,000 people across the country to camp out for the 10th anniversary of the Great American Backyard Campout. For further information, please visit http://www.nwf.org/Great-American-BackyardCampout/Event-Details.aspx on line

Spare the rod, and you’ll spoil the child

The coming weekend has the potential to provide an additional bonus for campers, as June 28-29, 2014, also happens to be the annual Free Fishing Weekend in New York State.

All across the state there will be Free Sport Fishing Events with family fishing clinics hosted. And anglers can fish for free; as no freshwater fishing license is required during the event, which is hosted annually on the last weekend in June.

In addition to fishing, participants can learn about fish identification, fishing equipment and techniques, fisheries management, angling ethics and aquatic ecology.

Angling, similar to camping, is a life skill that every local child should learn at a young age. IÕ d far prefer to have my children lost somewhere on a stream, than wandering around in the mall.

Although a river may transport kids far from home for a spell, it will similarly always bring them back. I discovered this truth of this statement, while fishing with my niece and nephew last weekend.
