Several dozen supporters gathered at the Lake Placid Boat House last week for a fundraiser for incumbent Richard Meyer, a Republican who is running for re-election against Brian Barrett, a Lake Placid-based criminal defense attorney who is running on the Democratic line.

The Plattsburgh Press-Republican daily newspaper has altered its delivery method in parts of Franklin and Essex County. The paper will no longer be hand delivered early in the morning but will instead come in the mail. Pictured above is a Press-Republican delivery box that is now a lawn ornament.

WESTPORT Ñ ItÕ s a morning ritual that residents have always enjoyed: Wake up, put the coffee on and shuffl e outside to grab the newspaper.

But that ritual has been disrupted following the Press-RepublicanÕ s decision to alter the way their newspapers are delivered to some subscribers, a change that went into effect May 1.

Once distributed by independent carriers, the papers are now being sent to subscribers in parts of Essex and Franklin counties by the postal service, a development that has pushed delivery back to mid-morning, or later depending on when mail is delivered and where subscribers live or work.

Interviews with residents along one affected area, the rural stretch of lakeside highway between Westport and Port Henry, revealed mixed reactions to the change, with some saying they

‘HONESTY AND INTEGRITY’ Former Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, who organized the event, has worked with Meyer for 29 years.

“He’s honest and knows his stuff,” said Sayward. “His honesty and integrity has stood out from the very beginning.Ó Prior to representing the 113th District, Sayward served as the Willsboro town supervisor during the 1990s.

At the time, Meyer served as the county attorney.

As a new supervisor, Sayward she often solicited advice from Meyer, who was able to rattle off answers without even blinking.

He put ethics in front of politics, she said. And he wasnÕ t afraid to tell her the hard truths Ñ even if they werenÕ t what the supervisor wanted to hear.

Walkers march for children’s mental health

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — They appeared in ones and twos, green-clad individuals who congregated on the Elizabethtown Town Commons on an unseasonably hot day, 81 degrees and climbing.

Bottles of water and sunscreen made the rounds as the crowd cooked.

May is designated as mental health awareness month, with the first week centered on children.

Families First, a local nonprofit that provides resources for families with kids with mental health issues, organized a walk through town last week to draw attention to the issue.

Executive Director JoAnne Caswell said parents shouldn’t be blamed for kids with mental health problems.

Parents are often blamed for behavioral issues and face dismissive comments that if only they were tougher on their children, then they wouldn’t misbehave.

Not true. These are issues, she said, that need to be treated and managed just like diabetes and asthma.

Working to end stigma is important, she said.

Families First can help families ease into the often-scary initial step of treatment, explained Caswell, linking them with medical professionals and helping broker discussions at schools.

Say a kid gets diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, for example.

The agency will first work to help the parent understand what the disorder means and what the treatment options are.

In that instance, explained Caswell, the child will likely require some behavior management help — like how to sit still,

for instance.

Families First will then work with the school to develop a plan to work around that. Ò Schools are not set up to deal with special needs Ñ theyÕ re set up to deal with the masses, the normal kid that meets all their requirements,Ó Caswell said.

That extra intervention, having someone who can look in from the outside, is crucial.

Caswell cited examples of numerous kids who were on the verge of getting kicked out, or sent to special education programs, who went on to be successful after working with the

agency.

Early intervention is also key. Ò We want to make sure if get kids help early Ñ therapy, medicine, behavioral assistance — you can make a change,” Caswell said.

While issues may never technically go away, they can be managed with the right treatment and once-troubled kids can lead productive lives as adults.

Dozens joined the walk on Friday, which made a loop down Court Street and back behind Hand Avenue before venturing up Route 9 and down Park Street.

“I like to walk and saw all these nice people,” said Judy Longware King, of Elizabethtown. “I said ‘May I walk?’ and here I am.Ó King, like the others, wore a green shirt.

Antique Tractor Show in Westport, it said.

Charles Kip Thompson, of Elizabethtown, has sat on the Families First board for seven years.

He lauded the organization’s reputation as one that is spoken highly of in the community, citing anecdotes of family members who have approached him in public and thanked him for his referrals.

Thompson understands mental illness, having struggled with depression himself.

Much of the population Families First serves is of low income.

When the Ò monster of mental illnessÓ visits them, said Thompson, life may become unbearable with the added stress.

The agencyÕ s testimonials are inspiring, he said.

“It’s really inspiring,” agreed Nicole Bryant, who is also a board member. “And that’s what we’re all about.”

Petition process nears for officeholders, candidates

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — It’s an election year for officeholders in Essex County, which means for the next six months, conversations around the dinner table will take a tilt towards the local.

After a candidate decides to run for office in New York, whether supervisor or dog catcher, they must circulate petitions.

You’ll see folks fanning neighborhoods with clipboards in the hunt for signatures.

Each year, the state board of elections puts out a calendar instructing candidates when they can start, stop and file petitions.

While the calendar is typically released in midMay, giving officeseekers two weeks before they start circulating at the end of the month, the timeline is delayed this year because the state legislature hasnÕ t approved a date for the primary election, which is slated for September.

That date is important because it appears at the top of the petition.

So what can we expect once we’re looking at some concrete dates?

There are two petition periods in New York State.

DESIGNATING PETITIONS The first is designating petitions. That’s when the candidate declares that theyÕ re running and seeks to gain access to a designated party line.

New York has eight recognized parties: Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Green, Working Families, Independence, Women’s Equality and the Reform Party, with the latter two

being the new kids on the block after they passed the 50,000 vote threshold following last fall’s gubernatorial election.

By the end of the month, hopefuls who want to run on those lines will be knocking on doors and collecting signatures.

A candidate must typically collect signatures equaling at least five percent of the active enrolled voters of the political unit, a number that is crunched at the county board of elections.

The petitions are then historically filed during the second week of July.

Once filed, explained Essex County Board of Elections Commissioner Allison McGahay, county elections officials do a prima facie review ensuring that the minimum elements Ñ name, residence, office and district, among a few other items Ñ are properly stated.

Afterward, political hardball starts when objectors then have a chance to come in and contest the signatures in the hopes of getting another petition knocked out for perceived flaws or violations.

Following a review and ruling by election commissioners, the board than certifies a list of candidates who will appear on the ballot.

While considered independent candidates, the officeseeker would still be required to designate a name for themselves, which could be anything provided it doesn’t attempt to mislead voters by suggesting a similarity with another party, or is a language other than English Ñ like the Awesome Party, for instance.

The candidate then must create a symbol for themselves — say, a thumbs up for the Awesome Party Ñ and go out and collect signatures like the other candidates.

But it’s a bit more laborious task made more difficult by the county’s geographic layout, with perhaps only a few possible signatures hiding in the forests and mountains Ñ and only those who havenÕ t signed any other petition for that same office (like, say, supervisor for the Town of Anywhere).

(Write-ins for candidates whose name appears elsewhere on the ballot also become voided.)

Following the objection period, those petitions are filed in August.

Once those petitions are certified, the board of elections has what they need to create the ballot for the September primary.

INDEPENDENT BODY PETITIONS At the end of July, candidates then engage in another round of petitioning for independent bodies, or those who don’t wish to be affiliated with recognized parties for a variety of reasons, be they personal or political.

In a region where roots and family ties run deep, folks could personally like a candidate, for instance, but disagree with their party line and never bring themselves to vote for them unless they were listed elsewhere on the ballot.

BIG YEAR Unlike last year’s election that saw Essex County residents going to the polls for the gubernatorial race and to select a new federal representative (Sheriff Richard Cutting and State Sen. Betty Little ran unopposed and handily won re-election), 16 county lawmakers will have answer to the voters this year along a spate of other local officeholders, from councilmen to highway department officials, as well as Essex County Clerk Joseph Provoncha and Essex County Judge Richard Meyer.

Tour of iron mine forged for May

WILMINGTON — The Wilmington Historical Society invites all to join them on Saturday, May 16 at 9 a.m. for a the Stephenson Range Historic Iron Mine Tour.

Guy Stephenson, licensed guide, will take participants on a four-mile hike and tour of a historic iron mine in the Stephenson Range.

This tour requires a fair amount of walking and exertion as it is a moderate to strenuous hike. Be sure you are physically able to participate in the outing as described and dress appropriately.

Details about where to meet for the five-hour hike will be explained when reservations are made. Bring your own lunch or snacks, and water or other beverages to drink. The event will be held rain or shine, so please dress appropriately for hiking and bring attire for variable weather conditions.

The guide fee is $15 for Wilmington Historical Society members; $20 for non-members.

Advance registration is required with payment due at time of registration. Attendance is limited, and filled on a first-come-first-served ba-

Essex County officeseekers and hopefuls will hit the streets within the next few weeks to start collecting signatures as part of the petitioning process.

Assuming each candidate will have a party line and run as independent Ñ a la the Awesome Party — it could be a very large and complex ballot.

McGahay expects a busy summer. Ò Local years are always the most work and the most exciting,” she said. “We will be taking in a ton of petitions.Ó The commissioner noted the petitioning rules are very strict and encouraged office-seekers to visit them prior to submitting their petitions.

“The best thing is for candidates to come in, meet and talk with us,Ó she said.

After candidates have filed their petition, corrections are impossible. Errors could see a complete invalidation.

Both Essex County Republicans and Democrats will meet on April 28 to firm up their candidates.

We’ve botched our beach bods. But it’s not too late

I

tÕ s here.

Summer, the golden season when the mountains, lakes and roadways glow with adventure.

The Adirondacks is unparalleled when it comes to opportunities for outdoor recreation.

We’ve got it all, it’s a fi tness paradise.

But what about those of us who use the winter as a cover to maintain our unhealthy lifestyles?

Too cold. Not enough sunlight. Just because.

Meh. The equivalent of Mother Nature going from zero to 60 in three seconds has been maddening.

Where did all of these toned, lycra-clad people come from?

We see them around the neighborhood running, biking and hiking here and there (from the vantage points of our vehicles, of course).

ItÕ s depressing.

We no longer have a valid excuse for our lethargy.

The sunÕ s out.

Look at them, the healthy ones.

Boo! Seeing all of these toned, sleek physiques is intimidating, especially when we gaze at our doughy visages in the rearview mirror after pulling out of the gas station parking lot following another dietary lapse in judgement.

We will never be those people Ñ the ones who ride bicycles on the Cascade Road or those who take long canoeing trips, or the folks who can been seen disappearing into the fi rs with large packs on a Friday afternoon.

Last fall, we bought one of those pocket guides Ñ 9 Easy Hikes or something like that.

The goal was to do all of those, transition to snowshoeing in the winter before emerging this time of year as someone who was moderately fi t… or at least able to get dressed without running the risk of a hernia.

That, of course, didnÕ t happen Ñ The pocket guide took its place on the shelf between 101 Fresh Recipes and 88 Ways to Simplify Your Work Life.

April brought the realization that little time remained to shave off that fat; May, the grim concession that we will never be those people, the healthy ones.

The early summer hit us like a two-by-four right between the eyes.

We feel like weÕ re not alone in our thinking: Sixty-four percent of Essex County residents are overweight, while 37 percent are obese — that’s the fourth-highest rate in the state.

Franklin clocks in at 33.4 percent; Clinton, 26.8 percent; Warren, 30.5 percent and Hamilton, 25.9 percent.

While we donÕ t see ourselves participating in IronMan anytime soon, we’d like to share three simple changes that we plan on incorporating into our daily schedules this summer without much effort.

We encourage you to do the same.

Walk more. Walking ranks so low on the fi tness totem pole, it should be a crime to not to work a postprandial stroll into our daily schedules. People do it all the time. But we donÕ t, opting instead to drive our fl abby frames over even the smallest of distances. Public health offi cials in Essex County have made it really easy for us to reverse this through Creating Healthy Places, a fi ve-year project designed to, well, create healthy places in our communities. In Elizabethtown, for instance, this comes in the form of a pleasant stroll through both the forest and town, a circuit that remains popular lunchtime activity for workers. Each town in Essex County has a project designed to spur physical fi tness.

Find yours and join them.

Eat healthier. Buy local produce, yeah, we get it. But it bears repeating that simply removing processed foods from your diet will lead to weight loss. Easier said than done, we know, especially when money is tight. But efforts are underway at the state level to make it easier for vendors at farmers markets to accept SNAP benefi ts and maybe even WIC coupons, measures designed to foster nutritional literacy and improve access. If youÕ re light on dough, itÕ s good to know that access to fresh, local food isnÕ t just for the elite. And for those of us who use busy schedules as an excuse for not eating well, an increasing number of farmers are working with businesses to provide workplace CSAs, a purchasing arrangement that sees fresh goods dropped off right at your workplace.

Volunteer. One of the neater aspects of life in North Country is the volunteerism, which, while is chiefl y due to necessity, also contains deep streaks of altruism. People here are a friendly bunch and if you don’t see yourself walking more, or eating better, perhaps forcing yourself to get out and move around by helping others might lead to weight loss by default.

There is no shortage of opportunities out there, from fi refi ghting to emergency services or fraternal organizations who could all use your help, even if only for an errant weekend picking up trash or manning the grill at a fundraiser.

So while most us will likely never join the ranks of the uber-fi t, perhaps we can at least hold our heads high the next time a clump of cyclists glide by… or even honk, not as a sign of passive-aggressive frustration, but rather as one of solidarity.

Publisher’s Column

Are we prepared for what lies ahead?

W

eÕ ve watched the threats continually increase over the years. This nation and others have watched as embers of terrorism surface quickly and then fade into memory, almost as quickly as they appeared.

The concept of living with terrorism is one weÕ ve had to accept, but are we now on the verge of seeing more isolated attacks from within?

Last week top U.S. officials and lawmakers intensified concerns about the growing threat of jihad-inspired terror Dan Alexander attacks against the United States, after the recent thwarted Thoughts from attempt in Texas and the dire FBI warning that followed.

Behind the Pressline “I think there’s been an uptick in the stream of threats out there,” Texas GOP Rep. Mike McCaul, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, told “Fox News Sunday.” “We’re seeing these directives on almost a daily basis. It’s very concerning. Terrorism has gone viral.”

McCaul’s comments follow the May 3 attack by two gunmen outside a “Draw Muhammad” event in Garland, Texas.

Tweets by one of the two gunmen, killed by police in the attack, appear to link him to radical Islamic terror groups. Internet chatter purportedly tipped off officials about a possible attack on the event organized in such a fashion to nearly ensure some form of violent protest if not exactly what happened.

FBI Director James Comey said the attack highlights the difficulties the FBI faces, as social media serves to facilitate communication between terror groups and potential homegrown extremists sympathetic to the movement.

He also warned that the Islamic State terror group has thousands of English-language followers on Twitter, including many here in our midst in the U.S. The group also is increasingly steering followers into forums that allow for encrypted communications that can be harder for law enforcement officials to access.

“The siren song sits in the pockets, on the mobile phones, of the people who are ISIS followers on Twitter,Ó Comey went on to say. Ò ItÕ s almost as if thereÕ s a devil sitting on the shoulder, saying Ô Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill,Õ all day long.Ó As time moves on the nationÕ s law enforcement agencies are in the position of finding a needle in a haystack and from all we’ve come to understand it may only be a matter of time before this reaches a level commensurate with what we’ve been warned, now that the terror threat is one of the highest weÕ ve seen.

If we do in fact find ourselves in a new environment and the likelihood of these attacks are imminent, what options or steps can be taken to safe guard those dear to us?

Are these potential attacks something to fear or are we just at a point where the likelihood is just one of life’s inconveniences that we accept as everyday life? As odd as that sounds unless we take steps to resolve these issues, we have no other choice but to accept them in our midst; crazy radicals who will pop up from time to time, seeking to destroy innocent life.

General George Marshall said it best after the end of World War II: “The only way human beings can win a war is to prevent it.” As a nation we must find new ways to demonstrate leadership and sufficient resolve to keep the lid on an ever growing tumultuous world. We must find solutions to deal with these events should an outbreak find its way onto our soil.

Radical jihadists must be seen as a deadly disease that must be wiped out and the sooner the better.

SLVHA scholarship deadline fast approaching SARANAC LAKE — The June 1 deadline to apply to the Saranac Lake Voluntary Health Association (SLVHA) annual scholarships is fast approaching.

The SLVHA is once again offering $1,500 scholarships to second year North Country Community students in the Registered Nurse and Radiology Tech programs.

To qualify for a scholarship, all applicants must be residents of Essex, Franklin or Hamilton Counties; students must be enrolled full time, be in good academic standing and accepted into the 2015-2016 Registered Nursing or second year Radiology Tech programs.

The scholarship process is based solely on the application process.

Each application is then discussed in detail with other members of the scholarship committee.

A complete application consists of a brief essay describing the recipient’s educational/life journey along with two letters of recommendation (at least one from a health care professional or academic program instructor) as well as a current transcript.

All applications should be mailed to the Saranac Lake Voluntary Health Association by June 1 to 75 Main Street, Suite 2, Saranac Lake, NY 12913.

PAUL SMITHS — The North Adirondack Regional Envirothon, or NARE, will be held on Thursday, May 14 at Paul Smith’s College.

The NARE program brings schools from Clinton, Essex, Franklin and St. Lawrence Counties together to compete in an environmental competition for a chance to represent their county at the New York State Envirothon in Geneva, NY at Hobart & William Smith College on May 27 and 28.

The Envirothon involves teams of fi ve students from each school in understanding environmental stewardship and protection. The environmental knowledge is gained through a hands-on competition based on the subjects of Forestry, Soils, Aquatics, Wildlife and Current Issues, which, for this year, is Urban Forestry.

The students are required to answer questions and demonstrate handson application of each of these topics. This competition also cultivates students to learn more about our natural resources and environmental issues. The winners compete for plaques, prizes and scholarships.

The event was originally started in 1991, one year after the State Envirothon, and combined to a regional event with Franklin, St. Lawrence

and Clinton Counties in 1998.

Over 150 students compete each year.

“It is important to encourage students to learn more about natural resources and the environment and an academic and hands-on environmental competition is a great way to do it,” said Dawn Howard, Chairperson of the NARE Committee.

The program is put together by the local Soil and Water Conservation Districts from Clinton, Essex, Franklin and St Lawrence Counties, while the regional program is sponsored by Paul Smith’s College along with the support from local organizations such as ESF Ranger School, Black River St. Lawrence RC&D, International Paper, Catamount Lodge and Forest LLC., Stewarts, Northwoods Forest Consultants, LLC. Malone Federation of Teachers, and Essex and Franklin County Water Quality Coordinating Committees.

For more information on the Envirothon, volunteering, or working with local schools to protect our environment, contact Essex County Soil and Water Conservation District Manager Dave Reckahn at 962-8225.

Environmental stewardship to be promoted at Envirothon

Applicants wanted for emergency food, shelter funding funds ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is in the allocation process for funds to supplement emergency food and shelter programs. The selections will be made by a national board that is chaired by the Emergency Food and Shelter Program and consists of representatives from national charitable agencies which will provide the administrative staff and functions as the fi scal agent.

The board is charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high need areas around the country.

A local board made up of various departments will determine how the funds awarded to Essex County will be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies.

The local board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds available under this phase of the program.

Under the terms of the grant from the national board, local governmental or private voluntary organizations chosen to receive the funds must: 1) be non-profi t; 2) have an accounting system and conduct an annual audit; 3) practice non-discrimination; 4) have demonstrated the capacity to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs; 5) if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board.

Public and private voluntary agencies interested in applying for the funds should contact Cindy Cobb at Adirondack Community Action Programs at 873-3207.

Walk the walk

I

f you talk the talk, you must walk the walk. All of us know exercise is essential for good health. ThereÕ s an old joke: I had a good workout this morning; completed fi fteen pushups…with my eyelids. That’s not what you’d call a full-body routine.

So, after a winter and early spring of relative lethargy, itÕ s time to get a move on. Oh, yes, I’ll be spading up our Little crop strip here and mowing the lawn, but that’s not nearly enough. So, here’s the plan. Getting outside and walking two miles a day will be my goal.

The day I wrote this began with showers. It wasnÕ t a good excuse for remaining here in my

by Gordie Little recliner; so I got my butt in gear and trudged up the street. Of course it precipitated a nap. Those are important as well.

Hey, it’s a start. The gawdawful stomach fl u struck our house earlier. Perhaps you felt its nasty effects where you live and work.

Enough already. Time to turn the page and look forward to the next chapter of good health. I’m an eternal optimist and (almost) never admit having a bad day. Nearly 36 years on the radio without staying home due to sickness.

While working as a Crime Victims Advocate for eight years after radio, I was assailed by a terrible fl u bug once and took half a sick day. It was either going home or expiring at my desk. Since then, getting the fl u shots every fall did the trickÑ until the spring of 2015. The experts failed to predict the strain of fl u that would sweep the country and the inoculation neither prevented nor mitigated the effect of our intestinal woes.

Thankfully, that is now past history and our house on the river is hopefully a healthy haven at least for the near future. I have many mirrors in my house that are constant reminders of my inevitable aging. Where there were once the bulging muscles of robust youth, there are now the bags and sags of advancing age. So be it. I still want to feel good and, by gosh, I will. Thus, I’ll walk the walk and hope for the best.

For many years, it was running and biking. Not anymore. The bikes—all three of them—have been donated to the Christmas Bureau and the helmet is relegated to a high shelf. From this day forward, a brisk walk will have to suffi ce. Losing twenty pounds during the recent fl u session was kind of a pleasant adjunct. Getting used to not eating as much during meals and in between, kind of agrees with me. From now on, it’s a kind of brain training, whereby the portions are much smaller. Wish me luck.

I’ll probably never be a lightweight again.

When I moved to Plattsburgh in July of 1961, the scales read 203 pounds and the tape read 34 inches around the waist. How things have changed in the interim. When I was in high school I lifted weights daily at home. In those days, I knew no one else who did so. I was proud to note that my left bicep (I’m a southpaw) was the same size as the then undefeated heavyweight world champion boxer, Rocky Marciano: 14 inches. Now, it’s about 12 inches of pure fl ab. My weight this morning was 263.

But there is still hope. Eating healthy, thinking healthy and moderate exercise will be my mantra for the summer of 2015 and beyond. I’ll make an honest effort. Perspective is one of my favorite words. There were many ways to put my life into perspective. I look at my wonderful wife Kaye as she steps on the scales and it reads 90 pounds. I joke by saying my left earlobe weighs that much.

With her support and yours, IÕ ll slog up and down the Morrisonville sidewalks every day and attempt to log at least ten miles each week. If you happen to drive by and it appears that I’m not moving, bear in mind that itÕ s just an optical illusion. Chances are, my mind is moving a great deal faster than my feet.

In the outdoors, there’s always a game

G

ame is a traditional term used to describe any fish, fowl or other wild creature that is hunted for either sport or food. The term comes from medieval hunting terminology in the late 13th century and it is particular to the English language, coming from the generic Old English gamen, which means Ò joy, amusement, sport, or merrimentÓ .The term has been used widely to define the distinction between a variety of species of a particular animal, such as wild turkey and domestic turkey.

A wild turkey is born in the wild, and feeds primarily on natural foods available in the forest habitat, while a domestic turkey is fed grain and other supplements to enhanced their growth.

Although a domestic turkey may feed on insects or similar wild forage, it does not live in the wild. As a result, it is not as wary of natural predators (including humans) as it’s wild counterparts.

Fish taken with a rod and reel, strictly for sporting purposes, are widely referred to as game fish. However, game fish may also be consumed at times, especially in the case salmon, tuna, trout and other species. Typically, game fish are pursued for the thrill of the chase, rather than the taste of the meat.

The distinction is often defined by the means of harvest, which generally involves a measure of skill with a rod and reel, rather than simply dragging a net behind a trawler. However, not all sport fish that are caught are to be eaten. The growing popularity of Catch and Release ethics, and the recognition of Ò Line classÓ World Records, which require anglers to release trophy fish they have successfully landed on extremely light tackle; have combined to make ‘game fishing’ pure fun.

Sportfish including sailfish, tuna and marlin are now caught, tagged and released to ensure the species will continue to breed in the wild. The Catch and Release ethic, which states “A fish (trout, tuna or tarpon) is too valuable to be caught only once has been responsible for the perpetuation of many unique strains of wild fish, all over the world.

True trophy fish, which are released so they can continue to reproduce, serve to preserve a unique genetic stew that is likely to result in still more trophy fish.

The wide variety of animals that are hunted for food varies widely in all parts of the world.

The choice of food or sport is influenced by climate, animal diversity, diet and locally accepted views about what can or cannot be legitimately hunted. There is also a particular distinction

www.valleynewsadk.com between regional varieties of common species of a particular animal, and also between domestic and wild strains of a species as in the case of wild turkey versus domestic turkey.

The same holds true with wild, or native fish caught that are for sport, versus hatchery reared, stocked fish.

The term Ô gameÕ which is particular to the English language in medieval times, is a hunting term meaning Ò joy, amusement, sport, and merriment.Ó However, it appears the term quarry has been greatly expanded, and the ‘joy, merriment and sport of taking a bird or animal” is no longer considered the ultimate culmination of a chase. In fact, the Ô killÕ is no longer considered the ultimate necessity of the hunt, as digital scopes now allow hunters to capture an image of the intended game animal, and no projectiles are required.

Catch and Release Birding

While turkey hunters have been in the woods since the beginning of the month when the season opened, birders are in the woods all year round. They hunt birds in all of the season, and use a variety of spotting scopes, binoculars, digital cameras, and most importantly with their ears.

Turkey hunters and birders have a lot in common. They are used to getting up early, and settling into a blind to wait, look and listen for a particular species of bird. Both groups study their prey, and they know the bird’s habits and their preferred habitats.

Similar to hunters, birders also use a variety of calls, recordings and even decoys in their efforts to lure a particular species of bird within range. While birders do not seek to consume their prey, they do take great pride in collecting verified sightings of any number of birds. In fact, birders are very competitive while on the hunt, and they actually participate in a variety of competitive birding events.

Audubon 32nd Annual World Series of Birding

Last weekend, over 70 teams of birders gathered in New Jersey to participate in the 32nd annual World Series of Birding, which was hosted by New Jersey Audubon (NJA).

The World Series of Birding is an enjoyable, and highly competitive event for birding and nature enthusiasts. It is the equivalent of the Opening Day of Hunting season.

Birders work in teams, similar to a party of hunters, as they continue to scour the skies, lakes and woodlands for a full 24 hours (from midnight to midnight).

In their efforts to collect, and count as many bird species as they can identify by either sight or sound, within the state of New Jersey, birders will take to the woods and the wetlands.

They are also willing travel great distances if necessary in order to collect an unusual specimen, that is passing through on migration.

Each species that is seen or heard counts as one, and the event offers opportunities for birders of all levels of expertise, includ-

Published by Denton Publications, Inc. ing local conservation groups, schools and youth birding teams that come together to share their unique interest.

The annual event includes four different levels of competition, and the first official World Series of Birding began at midnight on May 19, 1984, with only 13 teams in competition.

Currently, several hundred birders participate in the event.

For further information, visit their website at www.worldseriesofbirding.org

The 2015 New York Loon Census

While participants in the World Series of Birding head off to fields, forests and the countryside to collect a variety of bird species, the annual New York Loon Census seeks only a single bird species.

While the New York Loon Census is centered exclusively on loons, it has now expanded the territory of the count to include all waters in New York state.

The 2015 New York Loon Census will be hosted on Saturday, July 18. The popular event is hosted on the¬ 3rd Saturday of July every year from 8-9a.m. If you are interested in participating in the 2015 New York Loon Census, please contact WCS’ Adirondack Program at accp@wcs.org to sign up. The Adirondack Wildlife Conservation Society will have the 2014 results of the 2014 Census, as well as information about the 2015 NY Loon Census posted to their websites, found at www.briloon.org/adkloon and www.wcsadirondacks.org.

Press-Republican From page 1

were upset and would likely drop their subscriptions and others saying they would continue subscribing for now.

Doug Sears, of Westport, said while he now received his newspaper around 10 a.m., he wasn’t terribly upset by the shift.

“You get used to it,” he said.

Danna Place, on the other hand, said she canceled her subscription that morning.

www.valleynewsadk.com Place did so because she receives her mail through a post office box.

The delivery change meant that Place would have to make daily trips to the post office, a change in routine that she said would be inconvenient, and one that would not allow for delivery of the Sunday edition.

The box would quickly fill up if she declined to do so, she said, leaving little room for other mail.

COST REDUCTION The change was made to reduce transportation costs to outlying areas, explained Press-Republican Publisher Bob Parks in a statement published in his newspaper on May 5.

Prior to the change, drivers had been distributing papers to the Malone area, the Tri-Lakes region and as far south as Ticonderoga, as well as the smaller communities in between.

The vast majority of readers will continue to receive carrier delivery, said Parks, and all affected subscribers had been notified by mail.

In fact, he said, the change would now allow the newspaper to reach isolated residences that were once prohibitively expensive through carrier delivery.

The website will continue to be updated multiple times daily, he noted.

“We realize this is a fairly big change for those who are used to getting their newspaper each morning and we are thankful for your continued understanding and loyalty,Ó said Parks.

Prior to the switch going into effect, the issue became a hot topic on social media, with many unsure if they would still receive the paper that day, or even at all. Others questioned what would happen on Sunday, when mail is not delivered.

Parks acknowledged the chatter in his statement: Ò The change prompted some misinformation on social media that the Press-Republican was no longer delivering to those areas,” said Parks, who was also criticized for waiting until May 5 to make a public statement.

One reader said the online discussion was a direct result of what was perceived as a lack of communication.

“So the Press-Rep waits until May 5 to finally report publicly the change in home deliveries to over 1,400 of its subscribers,” wrote Lake Placid resident Francis Strack on Facebook. “No mention that the letters that were mailed came on the day, or day after, the change.Ó The exact number of affected subscribers remains unknown, as does how the shift will affect distribution to newsstands and other vendors in the affected areas.

One vendor, Saleem Hayad, of Port Henry Mobil, reported a slight uptick in daily sales following the change, up to 15 compared to between 10 and 12 before.

Parks declined to discuss specific details when reached by email for comment, referring to the aforementioned statement. Ò BTW, I donÕ t discuss marketing plans, etc. with competitors,Ó he wrote to a reporter.

Parks also declined to elaborate in a videotaped interview

Published by Denton Publications, Inc. with WCAX earlier this month.

But Parks did insinuate, however, that if Denton Publications went ahead with this report, he would assign a staffer to investigate rumors that Denton Publications is for sale.

In response, Denton publisher and owner Dan Alexander said that he was advised to have the company evaluated to establish value for estate planning. The only way to do so for an organization with a unique set of factors like a community newspaper is to test the market, he said. Ò ItÕ s nice to know that they think of us as competition,Ó said Alexander. “For many years, they would not acknowledge our community papers as an equal.Ó Alexander called the news a “sad commentary for the paper and the communities they serveÓ and was disappointed Parks was not more forthcoming to share information about the affected subscribers.

“The Press-Republican has done hundreds of stories on company cutbacks and layoffs,” said Alexander. “It’s odd how they react when the shoe is on the other foot.Ó The Press-Republican has served as a valuable resource to the region for over 100 years, said Alexander, who stressed the importance of local ownership.

Decisions made from afar, he said, may not always be the best for the community.

“As a subscriber and newspaper junkie, it seems obvious to me that these changes were not made locally by the professional staff who understand the makeup of our region, but by the investment ownership whose purpose is not the newspaper business, but the investment business,” said Alexander.

Denton Publications is a family-owned business based in Elizabethtown, New York.

The Press-Republican is owned by Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc., an Alabama-based company that owns some 130 media properties across the United States, according to their website.

In January, CHNI made headlines when they shuttered the Tonawanda News, a long-running daily newspaper in western New York, for business reasons, including advertising and circulation.

According to the Alliance for Audited Media, the Press Republican has a total average circulation of 15,020, with about 70 percent of their total paid circulation coming from Clinton County.

Essex County boasts 19 percent and Franklin, 9.4 percent.

Alexander said changes like this reflect badly on the newspaper industry as a whole.

“It’s important to understand the difference between locallyowned and community-invested versus corporate ownership,” he said.

Place, the Westport resident, painted the change as a cultural shift in how people interact with their community.

“This is the North Country and the newspaper is a big part of everyone’s morning,” she said. “Everyone is so busy, it’s a quiet place you go to each day. It’s a bygone era and that’s too bad.”

Albany,” said Sayward.

The former assemblywoman also hailed Meyer’s judicial acumen, citing one of his precedent-setting decisions that continues to reverberate today.

In November 2008, Meyer determined the Adirondack Park Agency had no jurisdiction over the Lewis Family Farm’s right to house its workers, a landmark case that dealt a significant blow to the agency.

While the APA appealed, Appellate Division judges ruled unanimously in favor of the farm, which is located in Essex, the following year.

As a result, the APA was forced to acknowledge its limits over farm operations.

“Judge Meyer did a terrific job,” said Sayward.

The Essex County Republican Committee unanimously endorsed Meyer last month.

“He’s done a great job on the bench for the last 10 years and he’s a good judge,” said Essex County Republican Chair Shaun Gillilland.

“He’s ethical and stands by his decisions.”

Gillilland also lauded Meyer for being a detail-oriented judge who isn’t afraid to review cases in the event that they need re-examination, and hailed him for deftly presiding a county that has seen increased crime and drug rates.

“We need a judge like him,” said Gillilland.

Gillilland, now in his first term as chair, said he didn’t see a close race this fall: “I really don’t expect a tight race,” said Gillilland. “I think if he simply runs on his record, I think heÕ ll do quite well.Ó Acting Essex County Conservative Party Chairman Bill McGa-

‘HUMBLED’ In brief comments, Meyer thanked his supporters.

“We had a lot of fun working at the county board together,” he said of Sayward.

The support from the attendees was humbling, he said.

Judgeships can be insulating positions, said Meyer, citing strict ethical regulations governing political activity, including fundraising.

“Except I can show up,” he quipped.

Judges aren’t politicians, he said.

“Our job is to follow and apply constitutions and laws and render justice,” said Meyer, “irregardless of political party or any other restrictions.Ó Meyer said he loved his job, which is challenging in Essex County because it carries more responsibilities than his counterparts across the state, including tasks that are handled by town justices elsewhere, like approving pistol permit applications and adjudicating town court appeals.

He said he looked forward to another decade on the bench.

“The fun part about the law is that there’s something new to learn,” he said. “There isn’t any area of the law that I’m not exposed to, or won’t get exposed to.”

ty Democratic Committee in January. Ò We look forward to a spirited exchange this summer between incumbent Judge Richard Meyer and challenger Brian Barrett,” said First Vice Chair Margaret Bartley in a statement. “Essex County voters are fortunate to have a choice on the ballot this November for this important county office.”

Lewis Family Farm Co-Owner Sandy Lewis, who was not present at the fundraiser, lauded Meyer.

Judge Richard Meyer “Essex County is blessed with a judge thatÕ s smart and courageous,Ó said Lewis when asked if he supported Meyer’s re-election effort.

Lewis also used the opportunity to blast Barrett.

“We do not need a legacy brat with no record,” said Lewis. “This is not a race. The vote for Meyer is an automatic. The vote for Barrett would be suicide. He’s a fool.”

Barrett said while he was familiar with the lawsuit that Lewis brought against the APA, the two have not met.

“I do not know him, he has never met me, and he has obviously not taken the time to educate himself on my qualifications to serve as Essex County Judge,” said Barrett. “It’s ironic that the Meyer camp is citing Judge Meyer’s decision in the Lewis case when he was serving as an ‘Acting’ Supreme Court Justice. If this case were brought again today, Judge Meyer would be without authority to hear Mr. Lewis’s case. If Judge Meyer wants to run for the Supreme Court then he should do so. I am running for Essex County Judge, and I am duly qualified to do so. I look forward to continue meeting with the voters of Essex County, and I will serve at their pleasure should they have me.Ó
