APA, residents, NYCO spar at public hearing

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com LEWIS Ñ Residents and environmental watchdogs had NYCO officials and Adirondack Park Agency (APA) reps up against the ropes during a public hearing July 2 designed to discuss NYCOÕ s plans to expand mining operations at their facility in Lewis.

The public consensus appeared clear: An adjudicatory hearing is needed, residents and environmental groups argued, to measure quality of life issues, an increase in truck traffic and the environmental impact.

TUPPER LAKE Ñ New York Appellate Division, Third Judicial Department, issued a decision July 3 to uphold the approvals by the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) for the 6,000 acre Adirondack Club and Resort project. Protect the Adirondacks filed a lawsuit with 29 allegations to challenge the legality of the approvals in March 2012.

Peter Bauer, executive director of Protect the Adirondacks, was disappointed by the decision. Ò This is a great loss for the Adirondack Park and the Adirondack Park Agency because it sets a precedent for forest fragmentation across the Adirondacks and codifies for the first time in 40 years of APA history that the APA Act is to be reduced to mere guidance and not law,Ó Bauer said.

The director of the environmental group said he believed the decision could mark a point of no return in the history of the park. Ò This follows a series of highly political decisions regarding Forest Preserve management and private land development in the Adirondacks,Ó Bauer said. Ò Many saw this project as shaping the future of Tupper Lake; PROTECT always saw this project and lawsuit as shaping the future of the Adirondack Park.Ó Protect the Adirondacks is reviewing its options for the next steps. The Adirondack Club & Resort Project must now finalize its approvals and secure final permits with the APA, obtain permits from the Department of Environmental Conservation and Army Corp of Engineers and obtain approvals from the Attorney CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Slope repair project begins on Route 73

By Jon Hochschartner jon@denpubs.com

KEENE Ñ Motorists are advised that a single lane of alternating traffic controlled by flaggers will be in place on Route 73 near Chapel Pond in the Town of Keene, Essex County, during daylight hours on weekdays beginning Monday. The single lane of traffic is necessary while the New York State Department of Transportation makes repairs to a stone wall beneath Route 73. Ò ItÕ s basically due to age,Ó said Bryan Viggiani, a spokesperson

for the New York State Department of Transportation, explaining why repairs on the wall were necessary. Ò It really should only take up a couple hundred feet of one lane,Ó adding in that Route 73 averages use by about 3,209 motor vehicles a day.

Work is expected to last for four weeks, except from July 24 through July 28 to accommodate the annual Ironman Lake Placid event July 27. All travel lanes will be open during those days for the event.

“It’s definitely going to slow traffic down,” Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee said. Ò There will be some delays, but it will give peo-

ple the cycle of the traffic light to sit there and enjoy the scenery.

LetÕ s make something positive out of this.Ó Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver’s license. It is imperative that motorists remember to drive carefully through this construction zone, for their own safety and the safety of workers.

Lake Placid Sinfonietta coming to Keene Valley

By Jon Hochschartner jon@denpubs.com

KEENE VALLEY Ñ The only professional orchestra in the Adirondacks will make its first-ever trip to the “Home of the High Peaks,Ó on Saturday, July 26.

The Lake Placid Sinfonietta, with 20 musicians, will perform a full-length classical concert at the Keene Valley Congregational Church. Start time is 7:30 p.m. Ò Folk TalesÓ is the name of the concert, which is scheduled to include CoplandÕ s Ò Hoe Down from Rodeo,Ó BartokÕ s Ò Rumanian Folk Dances,Ó W.C. HandyÕ s Ò St. Louis Blues,Ó and ProkovievÕ s Ò Classical Symphony,Ó among other pieces. Ò The Orchestra of the AdirondacksÓ is being hosted by the East Branch Friends of the Arts (EBFA), which provides yearround programs showcasing visual, literary, musical and performing arts. EBFA focuses on local artists.

This program is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts, with support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the NYS Legislature and administered by the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts. Grants also came from the Adirondack Foundation--Adirondacks Gives, Adirondack Foundation-Sybil A. Pickett Fund, and an anonymous donor.

A Ò Meet the ArtistsÓ reception will follow the Saturday night musical performance. Suggested donation is $10. Students are free.

Essex County approves NCCC budget

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — North Country Community College received passing marks from Essex County on Monday, July 7 when lawmakers approved the institution’s 2014-15 annual budget.

NCCC requested an additional $50,000 from Franklin and Essex counties, or $1,190,000 each alongside $50,000 for a capital improvement fund, for the budget, the first increase in five years.

While the total budget decreased 1.4 percent from last year to $14.3 million, tuition will jump five percent next semester, from $4,050 to $4,250. Ô NO ONE WANTS TO INCREASE COSTSÕ Finance Committee Chairman Tom Scozzafava asked NCCC President Dr. Steven Tyrell if the school was trying to bridge the funding gap by raising tuition. Ò WeÕ re staying competitive with our peers,Ó he said, stating the trend of declining enrollment across the state above Westchester County. Ò Fundamentally, no one wants to increase costs for the students,Ó he said. Ò We are very sensitive about that. If we werenÕ t, we could look at the current budget deficit and try to bridge that gap, but that would be absolutely untenable to our students.Ó Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally asked if all applicants were accepted to the schoolÕ s nursing program. Ò ThereÕ s an overall shortage of nurses in Essex County,Ó he said. Ò ThereÕ s like a 20 percent acceptance rate from [Adirondack Community College and SUNY Adirondack] and I was just wondering if you get the enrollment up and get the people to come from Adirondack to get them to come to Essex County and try to expand our nursing program.Ó Ò ThereÕ s a huge wait list,Ó said Tyrell. Ò WeÕ re limited in clinical sites. We can’t fit any more through the door — it’s an untenable situation. CanÕ t have a group of 10 people with eight patients on the floor. It really has a lot to do with regulations.”

CHARGEBACKS Essex County must cough up the cash for each resident that opts to attend community college outside of the county.

That number amounted to about $597,000 last year, Treasurer Michael Diskin told lawmakers last month.

Revenue assumptions show that NCCC anticipates collecting $363,000 this year from out-of-state tuition, a 7.4 percent decrease from last year.

In an interview, Scozzafava said he would like to see the charge backs decline and called for more recruitment efforts within the countyÕ s school districts. Ò Community colleges should support the community,Ó he said.

Scozzafava said he would also support an increase in funding for vocational training. Ò You have to be more vocationally-inclined,Ó he said. People will tell you they can’t find skilled, blue-collar workers — plumbing and heating, electricians and mechanics. Those trades will be around to the end of the millennium.Ó NCCCÕ s budget includes an $125,000 increase in marketing and outreach efforts, nearly double over last year.

FRANKLIN UNDECIDED Both counties have to approve the budget. Franklin County legislators were rattled by the proposed increase at a meeting last week, citing financial uncertainty within their own ranks.

Tyrell said the conversation was productive.

North Country Community College requires Essex and Franklin counties to approve their budget. Essex County lawmakers signed off on Monday, July 7. Franklin County is scheduled to pull the trigger on July 17.

Ò New board members just need more information on how the process works,Ó he said.

That legislative body will hold their public hearing on July 17 before voting on the resolution.

Each county has the right to approve their own numbers, said Tyrell. Ò Preferably itÕ s the same number, usually it is,Ó he said.

If Franklin fails to chip in the same amount, then both sides might need to meet for further discussion, he said. Ò When the community college system was founded in the 1950s, the formula was one-third each from the county, the state and the students,Ó said Tyrell.

Since the 1970s, the student percentage is tacking upward. Ò We continue to put this on the backs of students instead of maintaining the formula,Ó he said. Ò We are very concerned about that.Ó School officials have until late-August to adopt the budget.

NCCC has campuses in Saranac Lake, Malone and Ticonderoga.

Mental health film to be shown at Grange WHALLONSBURGH Ñ There will be a screening of Ò Here One DayÓ at the Whallonsburg Grange July 15 at 6:30 p.m. When filmmaker Kathy Leichter moved back into her childhood home after her motherÕ s suicide, she discovered a hidden box of audiotapes. Sixteen years passed before she had the courage to delve into this trove, unearthing details that her mother had recorded about every aspect of her life from the joys and challenges of her marriage to a NY State Senator, to her sonÕ s estrangement, to the highs and lows of living with bipolar disorder. Ò Here One Day” is a beautiful, emotionally candid film about a woman coping with mental illness, her relationships with her family and the ripple effects of her suicide on those she loved. A community discussion will follow.

Save your community: Volunteer

A

lack of volunteers threatens the future of many annual summer events in the North Country.

For events happening from late May to early September, a lack of volunteers can turn a day of fun into a faded memory.

Here are some examples around the North Country.

First: The Labor Day Celebration in Au Sable Forks. Before, the event lasted for two days. On the first day, the grounds would be crowded with both guests and volunteers. An array of games and food booths were available along with a huge bingo game in the gym, a chicken barbecue, pie roulette, dunking booth and a bounce house. On the second day, the same events would happen, along with a parade in the morning.

Today, the gathering lasts for just a day, and after the closing of Holy Name School and St. Matthews Church, the town struggles to keep its tradition going. Now, the parade runs on the first day. All of the food and game booths remain, but many of the dedicated volunteers that ran them are no longer there. People who had been running the same booths for years have either died or have become too old to help. The few people who remain struggle to recruit new volunteers.

Second: Ò Champ DayÓ in Port Henry and Moriah. Before, it was a day to recognize the folklore surrounding the alleged Lake Champlain creature Champ, and pay tribute to the more than 300 documented sightings of the creature. Ò Champ DayÓ took place on the first Sunday of August. The event included sidewalk sales, street vendors, entertainment, childrenÕ s games and pony rides, among other things.

Today, “Champ Day” has been officially discontinued after 31 years. The event ended for multiple reasons, including the recession and the Champlain Bridge closure for two years. Because of this, the town decided to put Ò Champ DayÓ on hold until the economy righted itself. The economy has been recovering, but Ò Champ DayÓ has yet to be reinstated, mainly because of a lack of volunteers.

Third: The Rouses Point Fourth of July Celebration. Before, the event lasted for a week and was known to be one of the biggest parties in the country. The festive week, founded by George Ducharme 54 years ago, once included

a carnival and huge parade that contained 15 to 20 bands and brought in people from all around the country and Canada to see and participate in the fun it had to offer.

Today, the week-long event has been condensed to three days. The carnival no longer comes to town because itÕ s too expensive.

Many of the games and food booths remain, but the annual get-together struggles to stay alive because of a lack of volunteers. A committee works diligently to keep the celebration intact, but those offering their services to help have become fewer and fewer.

Fourth: Rulfs OrchardÕ s Strawberry Festival. Before, the Strawberry Festival was a one day celebration that celebrated strawberries becoming ripe for the picking. The festival includes strawberry picking, a strawberry shortcake eating competition, a strawberry rhubarb pie baking competition, a number of different vendors, games and fun strawberry themed food for both children and adults.

Today, the Strawberry Festival remains successful after three years. Most of the events are the same. ThereÕ s been a few changes in terms of vendors, but, besides that, the orchard keeps the tradition they started three years ago.

How is Rulfs able to continue and even grow its popular festival? The answer is quite simple Ñ they donÕ t rely on volunteers, they pay the individuals who help make the event happen.

There is nothing wrong with that, but these people are not volunteers. And, the simple fact of the matter is that many events around the North Country cannot afford to take on a paid staff.

What it really boils down to is a matter of civic pride and civic duty. These events are not only a source of summertime enjoyment, they also are economic engines that fill our main streets with people looking to spend money.

People that oftentimes fall in love with the area and return to spend money or purchase homes here.

So, there is a much bigger picture here when it comes to volunteerism. It is an integral part of the fabric of our communities. Without it, they may also become just a faded memory Ñ going the way of so many celebrations, festivities and events throughout the region. ÑD

Letters to the Editor

National Trails Day a success To the Editor: During the Champlain Area Trails (CATS) celebration of National Trails Day, forty-two people hiked at Cheney Mountain in Moriah, eighteen on the new Ancient Oak Trail in Willsboro, and 170 people enjoyed hearing Emily Boedecker, executive director of VermontÕ s Local Motion talk about how her love of the outdoors brought her from England to Vermont via the Alps and Sierra Nevada Mountains to promote biking and hiking throughout the Champlain Valley.

Three of the lessons sheÕ s learned along the way are to know your community, always have a positive attitude and work with businesses to encourage appreciation of the outdoors.

In our Champlain Valley communities, economic vitality is inextricably linked with trails and outdoor recreation. Hikers increasingly want to hike from town to town like they do in England where it is a major boost for the economy. When hikers get to towns they look for places to eat, drink, shop, and sleep.

Meanwhile, the business owners want people to visit their establishments so more hikers leads to more businesses which attracts more hikers, and the cycle continues. Thinking positively, many

NYCO

From page 1 Stevens said the permit application would allow expansion of three mining zones; the increase of weekday mining operations by an hour on each end of the day and a bump in truck traffic from the mine on Seventy and Oak Hill Roads to the Graymount Quarry on Route 9 and the processing plant in Willsboro.

The end is near for the current mining area, she said. NYCO estimates the remaining 500,000 tons of wollastonite ore will be depleted within the next two years. An additional 600,000 tons of reserves are left in a section south of the current mine in the area where NYCO wants to expand.

According to NYCO, added excavation zones would extend the Seventy Road operation for another three years.

NYCO hopes to increase the permitted excavation limit at the Seventy Road facility by 15 acres to a total 69 acres. They aim to increase what they refer to an Ò affected areaÓ at the Seventy Road facility from 89.9 acres to 132.4.

The project, Stevens said, would result in an permanent impact to about an acre of wetlands at the Seventy Road facility and construction of a wetland mitigation area approximately 2.2 acres in size at the Oak Hill facility.

Other environmental impacts, according to the Environmental Notice Bulletin posted on the Department of ConservationÕ s website, include the disturbance of 1,502 feet of an unnamed tributary of the Derby Brook at the Seventy Road mine and the rerouting of an unnamed stream Ò a few inches deep and a foot wide.Ó Stevens said the permit would give NYCO another three years.

Future test mining on the state-owned Lot 8 is unrelated to the permit process.

TRAFFIC CONCERNS Stevens said the permit would see an increase in truckloads to 100 per day between April 1 and Nov. 30.

Currently, 45 full loads travel to the processing plant in Willsboro daily.

Stevens said the proposal, which includes an alteration of the routes, would actually result in a net decrease of eight total loads per day from the APA-mandated cap.

Peter Bauer, executive director of the environmental advocacy group Protect the Adirondacks!, repeatedly bored into officials before estimating that the increase would result in one truck Ò screeching by homes every 3.5 minutes.Ó Bauer also noted the permit approval would result in an aggregate 91 to 150 trucks per day from Oak Hill to Graymount and pressed APA Environmental Program Specialist Thomas Saehrig on the impact on quality of life for residents along the route and if a cumulative impact study had been conducted. Ò That hasnÕ t been decided yet,Ó Saehrig conceded. Ò This cries out for an adjudicatory hearing,Ó Bauer said.

Several residents, including Barbara Dansmore, pointed out that the number of trucks was actually double owing to the empty trucks coming back.

She, too, called for an adjudicatory hearing and cited the sense of cooperation that characterized the 1998 permit process. Ò Of course we want business to expand,Ó she said. Ò It just needs to be agreeable to the residents.Ó Lake Placid resident John Knox, who owns a second home in Lewis, cited dissatisfaction with blasting-related damage to his residence and expressed skepticism about independent traffic monitoring to ensure that NYCO abided by APA regulations.

Regional Mine Operations Manager Brian Glackin said NYCO

of those hikers are cross-country skiers and snowshoers who will return in winter to boost the areaÕ s four-season economy. They will help spread the word that this is a great place to visit and live.

Special thanks Steven and Helen Kellogg for hosting the main event and to the volunteers, hikers, and supporters of trails connecting our Champlain Valley communities.

Chris Maron, Westport has a certified scale. Contractors don’t get paid until they have driven it, added Mark Buckley, a safety manager at the facility. Ò All trucks are weighed and the numbers are reported to the APA.Ó Glackin said that while the APA could hypothetically conduct an audit, he conceded that there was no independent voice to ensure the regulations were being followed.

Willsboro resident Laura Smith said her town was an integral part of the process. Ò ItÕ s terrifying with trucks on your tail Ñ what comes down must come back,” she said. “And the constant droning 24/7, elderly people canÕ t even open their windows. We canÕ t even use kayaks in Willsboro Bay. And this is going to be increased.Ó Jane Rasonowski also called for an adjudicatory hearing. Ò Something needs to be worked out with the school system,Ó she said, referring to the increased traffic.

While the drivers are very skilled, she said, she expressed concern about possible accidents. Ò I go to work early so I can miss the trucks,Ó she said. Ò And who will pay for the wear and tear on the highways? There has to be a balance, and the APA is charged with finding that balance.”

ECONOMIC IMPACT Willsboro resident Debbie James said NYCO provided for her and her family. Ò We fed our family on hearing that droning noise,Ó she said. Ò NYCO provided great health insurance and a healthy life. They provided jobs to kids who would otherwise be on the public system. TheyÕ re near and dear to my heart. This is real life for these families.Ó Stevens said NYCO staffers earned an average of $53,000 per year, about double the median salary in Essex County.

An impact study provided by NYCO states the mining company has an official payroll of $6 million. For each of its 102 employees, an additional 18.2 indirect and 26.4 induced jobs are created. The increased housing value associated with NYCOÕ s employment, the report stated, generates $568,000 in property taxes to Essex County, $223,000 in school taxes and $2,670,463 in state and local tax revenue in 2011. Ò The property tax is a good chunk of change,Ó said Jeff Pierce, a local resident who identified himself as a third-generation business owner who enjoys spending time in the woods. Ò If you take these salaries out of the community, youÕ re taking the grocery stores off the corner.Ó Citing the areaÕ s demographic decline, North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry Douglas called NYCO a Ò high quality employerÓ that would be valued anywhere. Ò What is a challenge in other rural areas is a crisis in the Adirondacks,Ó he said. Ò The only solution is jobs. We must help [NYCO] survive and thrive into the future. LetÕ s approve these reasonable and well-justified permits.”

Dan Richards, a representative of Avery Tractors, highlighted the importance of keeping jobs in the area. Ó NYCOÕ s hundred-plus jobs result in three or four more spinoffs,Ó he said. Ò ThatÕ s huge for the area,Ó he said. Ò This town used to be booming,Ó said Richard Way, a contractor, citing the time before the Northway. Ò New York is now an anti-business state. ThereÕ s nothing here. I told my kids to get out. WhatÕ s the alternative? We have to make hard choices Ñ a decent economy or just the place you want to go for retirement?Ó ON THE ROAD In on-site conversations with the Valley News, residents of Wells Hill Road and Seventy Road appeared to be resigned to the

Why no bike lanes on Route 73?

To the Editor: I know that I should be glad for recent new paving on Route 73. And I wish to thank everyone who made that happen.

But, how does it keep happening without adding bike lanes?

Every study and every Zoning Code, the Comprehensive Plan and the Complete Streets plan says bike lanes are a necessity.

So, how do they not get done? Who makes that decision?

Whether you ride a bike on these roads or just want the bike people out of the way, the solution is more room for the bikes.

Before you line up against me Ñ yes, I know these roads are Ò primarilyÓ for cars and trucks. I just hope someday everyone using our roads will be able to do so safely.

Another pointed out that the stream in their yard had slowed down over the years.

On Thursday, the day after the hearing, Glackin said employees discovered evidence of mischief at the facility on Seventy Hill Road, including loosened gas caps on some of the companyowned vehicles. An increased security detail was installed to safeguard the facility over the holiday weekend.

Glackin hedged on if the incident indicated sabotage: Ò It raised the concern that weÕ re not doing enough to safeguard our property,Ó he said.

From page 1 General’s Office before moving forward.

The North Country Chamber of Commerce applauded the decision. ÒI t was always clear, after years of review and a 10-1 vote, that this project had been thoroughly vetted,Ó said Garry Douglas, president of the chamber. “The courts have now affirmed that, and hopefully the developers can finally proceed on this economically transformational project for Tupper Lake and the entire region without further delaying tactics.Ó Jim LaValley, chairman of ARISE (Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving Their Economy), also cheered the decision. ÒT he ruling by the panel of judges continues to show that all procedures and review were done according to the APA Act, and the Adirondack Club project does not rise to the level of having an undue adverse impact,Ó LaValley said. ÒT his demonstrates the strong support for the Adirondack Club and the community of Tupper Lake.Ó Continuing, LaValley said he hoped Protect the Adirondacks would Òac cept the ruling and allow the community of Tupper Lake to move forward, without further frivolous action. The community, the ACR investors and the region have shown that they want this project to move forward and that it is the right project, at the right time.Ó APA Executive Director Terry Martino said she appreciated the validation of her organization’s process. ÒW e strongly believed our review resulted in permits which were conditioned to avoid any negative environmental or community impacts,Ó Martino said. ÒI am very proud of the outstanding work completed by agency staff to address critical environmental concerns and ensure the necessary safeguards are in place.Ó According to an APA press release, development of the Adirondack Club and Resort is projected to last 15 years. ÒT he developers plan to construct 206 single family dwellings, 125 multifamily dwellings and a 60 room inn,Ó the release said. ÒPl ans also include redevelopment of a marina and the refurbishment of the Big Tupper Ski Area including ski lodge, ski lift and ski trail improvements.Ó

Somewhere, just east of nowhere I

t occurred while I was on the way home after spending an afternoon at the base of a mind-numbingly, beautiful waterfall that is located halfway up the side of a small mountain in my backyard.

I had visited the discrete, little mountain creek with plans to conduct a brook trout survey at the skinny end of my flyrod.

The clear water was captivating, and as I sat there on the wet, mossy rocks, my sense of senses changed. I felt the soft mist on my face, and I could smell the pine scent. The air somehow seemed sweeter, and the gentle rustle of wind on the leaves was tangible.

Sunrays glistened on the water as small rainbows appeared to dance above the tumbling falls.

I traveled to the deep woods to get away for a day and to escape the din of a dozen chores left undone. I was tired of the unrelenting concerns about what comes next. I needed time alone. Bugs be damned, bring on the brookies was my battle cry!

The woods and waters, and to a limited extent the mountains have always provided a place where humans can go to escape the regular drudgery of everyday life.

I’ve always believed the escape is not actually due any specific physical location, but rather itÕ s more likely a result of the long journey thatÕ s typically required to get there.

The more demanding the access, the more I enjoy it. In isolated confines, it’s easier to attain true mental freedom, especially when thereÕ s no one, and nothing around to interrupt you. In such special places, thoughts pour quickly, and deep thinking comes easy.

Sounds and sense, touch and feel are amplified when there are no distractions. In such places, it much easier to hear your inner thoughts, and to let the flowing waters rinse them away.., far, far, away.

Most recently, it occurred on a late, early summer afternoon as the roar of falling waters, combined with bed of soft moss bed and a sweet breeze to sooth my tired mind.

It had been a long week of hard work and I nodded off unexpectedly on a small patch of soft moss located on the banks of a small, mountain stream.

IÕ d been out for a while when I awoke with a start. I was unsure of the time, but I knew I had hung around for quite a while; maybe

even a bit longer than I shouldÕ ve.

Although the route home was easy enough easy to follow, I knew it would be a challenge without a light in the growing darkness. During summer months, darkness arrives late, but it comes quickly; so I broke down the flyrod, and stashed my reel in the creel. I knew the brook meandered for a way through a small gorge, but there was an old tote road nearby.

So, with a large branch to guard my flyrod, I walked slowly through the high brush, carefully lifting my feet high to avoid tripping over obstacles, of which there were many.

It was a moonless evening, but the stars were out and I could hear traffic in the distance. The exact direction of travel was not my greatest concern, as I knew where I had to go. I was more concerned with tripping and breaking something, or poking a hole in my side after stumbling on the sharp stub of a beaver chewed sapling.

But in an instant, the dim darkness of early evening was punctuated by the soft light of lightning bugs blinking in the nearby marsh.

Crickets began to chirp and a long soft, cotton-like ribbon of fog began to slowly rise above the flat, black waters of the wide brook.

I poked along slowly to avoid tripping over unseen obstacles. It wouldnÕ t stop me from stumbling, but it would soften the blow as I wobbled about like a drunken sailor on leave for the eve.

I could make out flickering lights of passing cars on the highway in the distance. I knew it was less than a quarter mile distant, but as I stumbled along in the darkness, separated by the boggy marsh and a flowing stream of varying depths; it seemed like an eternity.

I was frustrated and covered in sweat, mud and other debris. My shins were bruised and muddy water sloshed in my boots. Spiderwebs wrapped my head and I was chewing twigs and spitting alder leaves. ÒA hhh!Ó, I exclaimed, ÒT he absolute serenity of a calm day in the deep woods, sitting by a little stream. Never again,

62789

TL • Valley News - 7 damn it!Ó Finally, I reached the stream bank. I was in a foul mood as I poked around with my broken down flyrod to check the depths, which appeared to be just a couple of feet. So, I decided to step right in.

The water measured only two feet deep, but the mud and muck were of an equal depth, and both of my legs were firmly ensconced up to my thighs.

As I continued to struggle to free my legs, the foul smelling, methane bubbles began to gurgle up on the waterÕ s surface.

What had begun as a relaxing day on a small stream had grown into a face scratching, leg sucking, stuck in the muck nightmare, and I was still twelve feet from freedom.

There was only one thing to do. So I dove and belly flopped into the middle of the stream and popped up on the other side of the brook.

Quickly, I thrashed through the brush and mush as I rushed up the far bank. I sloshed and stumbled back home along the railroad tracks, and my wife kicked the dog out the door just as I reached the house.

He barked and sniffed at me for a second, then ran back inside the door as I shed my tattered clothes and grabbed a garden hose to rinse off the muck. I sustained no serious cuts, nor any broken or busted bones. Fortunately most of the stink went on the ground rather than down the sink I was tired, scratched, bug bit, hungery and thirsty, but I was home with a good story to tell.

Next time, I may take a headlamp, and a watch, and maybe even a collapsible fly rod.

Or maybe IÕ ll stick to wider, less wild locations closer to parking lots and the nearby roads. But I doubt it. IÕ ll probably continue to seek serenity where IÕ ve always found it, somewhere just east of nowhere, even though takes a bit more work to get there, and back again.
