Strand Theatre unveils new equipment

shawn@denpubs.com PERU Ñ CovelÕ s Christmas Tree Farm is celebrating its 45 year in business this year, and preparations are already underway for the busy festive holiday season at their Peru farm.

Co-owner Donald Covel started the tree farm from scratch with his father, Donald Covel Sr., even before there was a house on the property or power coming down the road.

At first the Covels cleared some fields and re-planted just for the reforestation aspect but Covel, who had worked on various tree farms as a teen, decided to start to plant Christmas trees.

By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com

Donna Brault and Cathy Patnode look through some of the hats, mittens and scarves donated for their yearly drive. Before Christmas they will deliver the items to needy area school children.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Nurses at the Intensive Care and StepDown units of UVMHN-CVPH are looking for the publicÕ s help in providing warm hats and mittens for needy area children.

The nurses have provided children at various schools with hats, mittens and scarves for several years, and theyÕ re hoping that this year they will collect enough new or hand-knitted items to expand to even more area schools. Ò Wherever the need seems to be, we try to go,Ó said drive coordinator Donna Brault. Ò Right now itÕ s all in house, but weÕ d like to expand it. Anything just for them to stay warm.Ó They bring supplies to different schools each year, from Northern Adirondack to AuSable Valley and beyond, trying to reach as many children as possible. After the flooding from Irene for instance, they delivered all their hats and mittens to schools in Jay and Keene.

Brault says that they deliver the items to school officials, who seem to have the best handle on who in their schools have the greatest need.

UVMHN-CVPH opens new Joint Care Center for hips, knees Center to provide elective hip and knee replacement surgeries

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The newly opened Joint Care Center at The University of Vermont Health Network Ð Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (formerly CVPH) focuses on a patientÕ s wellness, not sickness.

The center, which will provide elective surgery for people pursuing knee and hip replacement surgery. The focus is on the national best practice of focusing on the patient not as a sick person, but a healthy individual undergoing a medical proceedure. Ò This is not your typical hospital program or hospital stay,Ó according to Kevin Manchester, Joint Care Center Coordinator. Ò First and foremost, we do not see our patients as being sick. Instead, we see them as healthy individuals who are coming to the hospital because they have hip or knee pain, and want to live a better quality of life by having joint replacement surgery.Ò A multidisciplinary team that includes all five orthopedic surgeons from the Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital medical staff and representation from nursing, case management,

rehabilitation services, perioperative services, volunteer and marketing departments has developed this innovative program to improve outcomes and provide a superior experience for individuals having hip or knee replacement surgery.

The center will focus on the most advanced minimally invasive, advanced analgesic, and rapid-recovery surgical techniques, according to Christine Blake, Senior Marketing and Communications Specialist at the hospital.

People pursuing knee of hip replacement will be seen more as students than as patients, said Blake. They will choose a coach, usually a family member or loved one, who is active in their care throughout the whole process. Both student and coach will meet with their care team coordinator before surgery, and will learn about the proceedure and how to care for the student afterwasrds.

After surgery and a period of rehabilitationwhen the student leaves, or Ò graduates,Ó they will receive follow-up calls at 72 hours and two weeks after discharge. Ò We will evaluate each patient on multiple clinical, functional, and patient satisfaction criteria,Ó explained Manchester. Ò These outcomes will be analyzed during monthly performance improvement team meetings.Ó For more information about the Joint Care Center, contact Manchester at 518-562-7060.

The Joint Care Center is dedicated to caring for patients who elect to have hip or knee replacement surgery. It’s based on a national best practice model for elective hip and knee replacement and is structured around the fundamental principal of wellness..

K’ville residents invited to celebrate legacy of local artist

By Kyle Page

denpubs@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE Ñ Local residents will be able to celebrate the life of an amazing local artist this Sunday, Nov. 23 from 1 to 3 p.m with a very special art exhibit and sale, Ò Celebrating AndreaÕ s Vision,Ó at the Keeseville Free Library.

Family, friends, and art appreciators will remember Andrea Knight, a gifted photographer who passed away in October.

In AndreaÕ s own words, Ò Believing that one image can be very powerful, I am also drawn to the story, the spirit or vision it can project.

IÕ ve been experimenting and having fun with the digital creative process, highlighting intrinsically interesting parts of an image, and also connecting multiple images along with simple image photography.Ó Knight was born in Kansas to a military family and lived many places before settling in Keeseville at the base of Bigelow Mountain.

She earned an AssociateÕ s Degree from North

Country Community College and a Liberal Arts Degree with a concentration in Photography from SUNY Plattsburgh. She spent a semester studying with photographer Lee Nye at the University of Montana.

Knight became a professional photographer, self-employed, and she was an antique dealer, a woodworker, and a gallery owner. She was employed as a bus driver in the AuSable Valley School District where she was much beloved by the children. She was a member of The North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, Plattsburgh, as well as The Arts Council of Northern New York in Westport, The Lake Placid Center for the Arts, and The Adirondack Art Association in Essex.

AndreaÕ s photographs, always displayed in her own hand-crafted frames, were exhibited in juried shows in Lake Placid, Old Forge, and Plattsburgh.

They were also included in yearly NCCA member shows, The Adirondack Art Association member shows, the Keene Ò PhotoshopÓ , and The Clark Forster Insurance Art Show in

‘Gingerbread’ houses to be displayed at library

CHAZY Ñ The Friends of the Chazy Library host an annual open house Sunday Dec. 7, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Chazy Public Library, 1329 Fisk Road. This yearÕ s theme is Ò GingerbreadÒ . There will be a display of gingerbread houses and decorations done by children from the Chazy Central School. The reception will be held downstairs in the Community Room. Ground level entrance can be accessed from the rear parking lot. Coffee, tea and cider will be served with a variety of sweet breads and cookies. Several baskets filled with unique gifts and foods will be raffled. Baked goods will be available for sale.

Winter concert announced

CHAZY Ñ The Chazy Central Rural School annual Holiday Concert will take place Sunday, Dec. 7, at 2 p.m. in the Chazy Central Auditorium. The yearly community holiday event, complete with seasonal music, will have a post-concert reception of home-baked goodies, and a visit from a special guest. Contact Lori Kashorek for information at lkashorek@chazy.org, Penny Wiese at pwiese@chazy.org, or Nancy Vesco at 846-7135.

Community NYC bus trip rescheduled

SCHROON Ñ The Community Bus Trip to New York City is rescheduled for Saturday, Dec. 13. The bus will leave at approximately 6 a.m. from Schroon Lake Central School and 6:45 a.m. from North Warren Central School. The bus is estimated to arrive at 11 a.m. at Bryant Park in NYC. The community will be able to explore and enjoy New York City on their own.

Keeseville. The Tip Top Frame Gallery exhibited her photographs as well as The Keeseville Free Library.

In 2005, the Meeting House Restaurant in Bedford Village hosted a one-person exhibit of her work, as did the Peru Free Library. Andrea received a First Place Photography (2008) and Honorable Mention in the juried ANCA Cover Art Show in Lake Placid. The Keeseville Free Library hosted a solo exhibit in July, 2006.

Other shows include the Public Spaces 2007 ACNA show, the Ò Southeastern ArizonaÓ show with Bill Crosby at NCCCA, a three-month show with Gail Kemp at Valcour Imaging, the NCCCA member show, and the Pine Harbor Facility show.

Her work was included in the PBS Juried Arts Auction and the Clinton Community College Show: Ò Adirondack WomenÓ , Ò View FindersÓ , and Ò In FocusÓ , with fellow photographers Penny Clute, Joanne Kennedy, Jan Stanley, Gail Kemp, and Lynn Manning (2008 and 2012). She also exhibited in The Lake Placid Center and NCCA juried shows in 2009 and 2013.

In the fall of 2013, Andrea was diagnosed with ALS. She was forced to give up her daily

Ò camera treks,Ó one of the greatest pleasures of her life.

In her own words, Ò Art challenges perception, brings memories and emotions to life, records our world for posterity, makes our lives more pleasurable, and informs us. I hope my photographic images have fulfilled one or more of these definitions for you.”

With her passing, Knight left a wealth of art highlighting her talent most of which have been collected together for this very special exhibition and sale.

Please join her family and friends on Nov. 23, and the weeks following, to enjoy and perhaps take with you, examples of AndreaÕ s extraordinary talents.

Her deceptively simple work , intensely beautiful and thought-provoking, will surely bring you the joy and pleasure which Andrea tried to express each time she created an image.

There will be great music, friends, and memories, and Andrea would be truly gratified knowing that her work had brought people together to see the things she saw and to understand ...Ó one image can be very powerful.Ó

North Countryman Editorial

Thank you athletes!

W

ith the fall high school sports season coming to an end, weÕ d like to recognize some of the athletes who gave it their all in fall sports this year.

In football, Peru (Class B) and Saranac Lake (Class C) picked up Section VII championships as they both rose to top-10 state rankings, each picking up a win against Section X foes on their way to regional final appearances. The Ticonderoga Sentinels claimed the Section VII Class D football title with an impressive fourth quarter win over heated rival Moriah, moving on to handily defeat Tupper Lake in the regional semifinals and trading scores with Section IIÕ s Cambridge/Salem before falling to the Indians in the Class D regional final game.

BeekmantownÕ s Justin Stevens (and lets not forget the offensive line) set a Section VII all-time record of 1,963 rushing yards while Peru quarterback Blake Altizer found his way into the record books as well with a section-best 71 career touchdown passes.

Also worth mentioning, the MayorÕ s Cup match between Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake made a return after a three-year hiatus, going the way of the Red Storm.

In boysÕ soccer, Chazy and Beekmantown represented their section well, traveling to Middletown where Chazy suffered a tough Class D semifinals loss in penalty kicks to International Prep while Beekmantown topped Livonia 1-0 before falling in the Class B championship game.

The girlsÕ teams from those two schools made plenty of noise of their own. Both fell only one game shy of a trip to the state semifinals, though itÕ ll be a sad goodbye to a handful of senior stars from each roster, including Beekmantown senior Kallie Villemaire (31 goals, 25 assists) and Chazy senior Rachel Pombrio (22 goals, four assists).

The combined Bolton/Warrensburg girls soccer team made history, advancing to the NYSPHSAA Class C Final Four in Cortland. While they were unable to bring home a victory, it was a positive first step for an emerging program between the two school districts.

Speaking of combined teams, perennial powerhouse Chazy isnÕ t alone in Class D. The newlymerged Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport team took the Eagles to penalty kicks in the Class D final, and in the previous round, only one goal separated the Griffins from Keene. The three teams combined for a 41-11-3 record.

Oh, and wait, what was that, Makenzie Winslow just scored again. The senior striker compiled 59 goals for the Minerva/Newcomb Lady Mountaineers in leading her squad to the Section VII Class D finals for the first time in either schoolÕ s collective history. Winslow, however,

November 22, 2014

would not be able to take her place on the field against Chazy, but the Lady Mountaineers proved they belonged on the field, playing an inspired game in the face of long odds and earning the respect of their opponent. In the end, Winslow finished with 122 career goals. She might want to keep her eyes on the paper in a few years, though, as sophomore Jordan Bush starts her ascent up the scoring list next season.

In volleyball, Beekmantown was unstoppable.

The Eagles won every league game 3-0, including the Section VII Class B title game. Lake Placid swept Northern Adirondack for a Class D crown of their own, and later that same day, AuSable Valley and Plattsburgh played one for the ages, a 3-2 nailbiter that went the way of the Patriots.

Two local cross country runners finished third in their class in states at SUNY Canton Nov. 8Ñ Seton CatholicÕ s Margaret Champagne and Plattsburgh’s Jeriqho Gadway. The Lady Knights finished a perfect 20-0 while the boys of Lake Placid raced to a 19-1 mark. The Saranac boysÕ and girlsÕ teams were right behind, both finishing 17-3.

EKMW may not have had the number of runners needed for team wins, but the Emus sent three runnersÑ Jon Gay, Tom Maron and Myra Adams—to states. Gay finished tenth overall in Class D competition. ItÕ s a shame the secondfastest runner in Section VII qualifiers wasn’t on the All Star roster because he ran in too few dual meets.

When it comes to swimming, two names come to mind. Or four, depending how you look at it.

Kelly Davey, Meghan Davey, Brooke Kelley and Alexis Kelley helped Plattsburgh to a perfect season ahead of Peru, AuSable Valley and Moriah.

The PatriotsÕ Emily McCormick kept the Hornets from going 11-for-11 at the Section VII championship while Cydney Bond and Kylei Pena (Peru) and Lydia Brown (AuSable Valley) each picked up two second-place finishes.

ThereÕ s a rising star in gymnastics. PeruÕ s Delaney Brown, only a seventh grader, picked up six all-around wins to help cap off a perfect 6-0 season for the Indians. With a deep roster and five more years of Brown, Peru should be poised for years of success. PlattsburghÕ s Madison Baker and Hannah Kaltenback, along with BeekmantownÕ s Kailey Quackenbush and Desiree Dashnaw, were often close behind.

To the teams and players missingÑ there are many more deserving of the recognitionÑ know that we had you in mind. Lastly, a thank you to the coaches, referees, families and fans who put their energy and support into what was an exciting season. And most of all, win or lose, to the players.

North Countryman - 7 lead. Play to her strengths in your instructional practice and this may allay her fears of driving and get her past the inability to move forward, or at least out of the parking lot.

ASK style & substance

creative solutions to live your life with style & substance Sally Meisenheimer and Michele Armani Dear style & substance, My 16-year-old daughter is learning to drive. I have taught our other children to drive but I am struggling with this one.

My daughter is smart and receptive to instruction, but I have not been able to get her out of the parking lot. While I realize this is not a pressing issue for many people, I need advice on where I am going wrong and how to help her achieve her goal.

We have been in this situation, between us, seven times! The practical question here is realistic Ñ what needs to be accomplished for your daughter to pass her driving test. The larger question is how do we change the way we share information and guidance depending upon the situation and the receiver.

We often fall into the belief of singular definitions when ad-

dressing a problem or situation. For example, as adults we often find ourselves in positions of leadership within our workplace, families, and community organizations.

Each group may call for a different leadership style based upon need and goal of the group. The key to effective leadership is understanding what the situation calls for and recognizing the strengths of the individual or group you are leading.

Remember, you do not need to nor can you be all things to all people. Some additional things to consider in your strategies are that your timing or sense of urgency may be very different from hers, fear shows up even in the most fearless, and emotions can run high in these types of situations. Explore these as they relate to your circumstances. If the best solution to assist your daughter in achieving her goal is to hire a Driving Instructor, call in the support. In addition, look to your other children who successfully learned the skill of driving, they may be the best teachers.

Please email your questions to us at yourstyleandsubstance@gmail.com Or call/text us for a life coaching appointment Develop who you ARE! Sally 578-6396 or Michele 578-8921

If all else fails, look outside of yourself and get expert help. We are firm believers in self-reliance; however, sometimes a professional needs to be called in for back up or to get the job done!

While you have successfully completed the task of teaching others to drive, the current truth is that the style you used in the past is not effective in the present. Talk with your daughter, ask her what she believes to be her strengths in learning and take her

Another tactic to employ is visualization. So often we fail to achieve or even begin a new endeavor because we cannot see ourselves being successful. Ask your daughter to imagine herself confidently driving to practice or to school — have her choose the destination.

Letters to the Editor

Editorial a “slap in the face” to hospice To the Editor: I was dismayed at a sentence in the Editorial BoardÕ s piece on Death with Dignity in which it was stated that Brittany Maynard Ò read about radiation and hospice care but found both options to be even more terrifying.Ó I understood Ms. MaynardÕ s determination to make her own decision to end her life on her terms before she was incapacitated and debilitated by her illness.

I do not recall reading anything about her being terrified by the thought of hospice.

I have been a hospice volunteer for many years and the goal of hospice is just what Ms. Maynard wanted: itÕ s about living each day, enhancing the quality of life and preserving the dignity of the terminally ill.

I do not fault Ms. Maynard’s decision, but I find the comment in the Valley News to be a slap in the face to the hospice movement.

I suggest your Editorial Board read a recent article in the New York Times on Oct. 5, 2014, entitled Ò The Best Possible Day.Ó In the article, Dr. Atul Gawande describes how a hospice team enabled a patient to live her last days exactly as she wanted, allowing her The Best Possible Day she could imagine.

ThatÕ s what hospice is all about and there is nothing Ò terrifyingÓ about it.

Colleen M. Van Hoven, Ph.D. Volunteer with High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care

Appreciates editorial To the Editor: Thanks for the article on the need of a viable third party.

The Green Party (GP) has participated in NY state politics for several years, but it hasnÕ t been easy.

To get on the ballot in NY, a party need thousands of signatures according to its enrollment. To stay on the ballot, a party has to get at least 50,000 votes for its gubertatorial candidate.

This is no problem for the Democrats and Republicans who have huge resources, but it is for an independent party like the Green Party that refuses to accept money from corporations or PACÕ s and refuses to enter into fusion with the two major parties or their satellites like the Working Families Party (WFP).

Also the two major parties have inserted their duopoly into the NYS Constitution by setting up a Board of Elections that only they can administer and hire workers who must be registered in either party!

The New York City Board of Elections is especially partial to

this duopoly. Its ballot understandably reserves the first two columns exclusively for their candidates but comprises third party columns by co-mingling other candidates who are not connected with these third parties in their columns.

For example, Cuomo and Hochul, running on the Ò WomenÕ s Equality Party,Ó appeared on the Green Party column.

This created much confusion and invalidated the ballot if a voter mistakenly voted for the all of the candidates in the GP column.

Although the GP candidate for Governor, Howie Hawkins, did increase his vote total from the the previous gubernatorial election in 2010, he was polling 9 percent just before the election, but received only 5 percent of the vote, a drop of 45 percent.

Cuomo, who appeared on 4 columns, was polling about the same as his vote, 54 percent, and Rob Astorino, who appeared on three columns, was polling at 33 percent and received a vote of 41 percent.

Other party vote totals, such as the Libertarian and the WFP, decreased markedly from the previous gubernatorial election in 2010.

I believe the NYC Board of Elections violated the civil rights of those who wanted to vote for a third party by setting up a confusing ballot that suppressed their votes.

Tom Siracuse, Chair of the NY County Green Parrty

Chazy boys fall in Class D semifinals to International Prep Presidents win in penalty kicks after 1-1 draw

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com MIDDLETOWN Ñ The Eagles fell just shy of a chance to play in the NYSPHSAA Class D championship game, falling to International Prep at Grover in penalty kicks Nov. 15.

After a tight 1-1 regulation and two scoreless sudden death overtime periods, Chazy looked poised to walk away with the win.

Derek Drake, Josh Barriere and Zach Brothers buried shots past PresidentsÕ goalie Yasir Alhadeethi and Austin Gravelle made two diving saves to give the Eagles a 3-1 lead in penalty kicks, needing just one more to advance.

The tide, however, would turn.

ChazyÕ s next two penalty kicks just missed the net while Sway Mug and Kee Doe converted, knotting up the first round up at 3-3. The second round of kicks would be single elimination.

Goalkeeper Alhadeethi and Abdullahl Hussein made shows while Keagan OÕ Connor and Kyle Drake answered, knotting it up at 5-5.

Then, after Abdirahma Ali put the Presidents up, Michael ParentÕ s show sailed just over the crossbar at the left corner.

Chazy’s Zach Brothers goes on in the air on an Eagles corner kick. Derek Drakes pass found Keegan O’Connor, who put the ball in the net for the 1-1 tie in the second half.

With that, ChazyÕ s season came to a heartbreaking end. ÒI nternational Prep is a great team and at this level you’ve got to finish on the chances you have,Ó said Eagles coach Rob McAuliffe. ÒI tÕ s a

hard one to take.Ó The Eagles came up just shy on two chances in the first half with Alhadeethi keeping Derek Drake out of the net early on and another Presidents defender winning a 50-50 decision with

the ball near the goal line after a Chazy corner kick.

Despite the early Eagles pressure, it was the Presidents who got on the board first on a Hussein goal late in the first half.

After the 1-0 halftime hole, Chazy clawed back. Derek Drake put a corner kick sailing in front of the goal. Zach Brothers just missed connecting with the ball, but OÕ Connor was waiting and drilled one into the back of the net.

Chazy held a 12-7 shot advantage overall, including a 10-3 edge in corner kicks, but OÕ ConnorÕ s was the only one to fall in the game. ÒW e certainly had the chances to win the game in regulation and didn’t finish on them,” said McAuliffe.

Overtime would be a back-and-forth battle, mostly at midfield, with the Presidents’ defenders thwarting ChazyÕ s advances with acrobatic clearing kicks.

Then, in the falling light, it was the Presidents who moved on.

Chazy finished the season 19-1-2, its only losses on the season coming against Beekmantown, who lost the next day in the Class B championship game, and International Prep, who went on to win the Class D championship the next day. ÒI couldnÕ t be more proud of how the boys represented our school,Ó s aid McAuliffe.

Beekmantown tops Livonia 1-0 in semis, falls in title game 1-0 win over Bulldogs sends Eagles to the finals before Mattituck ends their run

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com Beekmantown 1, Livonia 0 MIDDLETOWN Ñ The Beekmantown boys rode a stellar defensive performance to a 1-0 win over Livonia Nov. 15, earning an appearance in the NYSPHSAA Class B championship game.

Ryan Waterbury connected with a header on a Kaden Baugh assist for the only point the Eagles needed to claim the win. Ò( Waterbury) really works hard,Ó said Eagles coach Ryan Loucy. ÒT hatÕ s what got him that goal.Ó The shot, which came midway through the first half, was one of several good looks the Eagles had on net, including a Keegan Frenya rocket that Bulldogs goalie Sebastian Bosch somehow got his hands on.

Alex Price put a couple of nice shots toward goal, including one blast with eight minutes left in the first half that just cleared the crossbar, to help keep the pressure on the Bulldogs.

Livonia had an excellent defensive performance by Andrew Freeman, who Loucy described as a Òp henomenal defender,Ó while Bosch made six saves overall.

The Eagles, however, held even stronger on their side of the field, holding the Bulldogs to just a pair of shots on goal. ÒT hat was a very good team,Ó said Loucy. ÒI was very impressed by how they came out. Everybody thatÕ s here at this point of the season is a good team.Ó Colden Mrak earned the shutout in net with two saves, includ-

ing a leaping tip on what could have been an own goal for the Eagles after a header went the wrong direction.

When the final horn sounded, Eagles players rushed across the field to a loud, supportive crowd on the sideline before bringing the celebration to the bench. ÒI Õ m really excited for our kids,Ó said Loucy. ÒJ ust really proud that my kids have come through and get to go play in the championship game.Ó

Mattituck 3, Beekmantown 0 MIDDLETOWN Ñ After shutting out Livonia 1-0 in the semifinals, Beekmantown’s tough defense faced the ultimate challenging in their final game against Mattituck.

The Section XI team, which scored six in its semifinal win the previous day, upended Beekmantown 3-0 for the NYSPHSAA Class B championship win Nov. 16.

It was a bittersweet end for the Eagles, whose only other losses of the season came to Plattsburgh before they claimed the Section VII Class B title. ÒI think we played pretty well on Sunday,Ó said coach Ryan Loucy, Òb ut Mattituck was very good. Our kids are extremely proud of what they were able to accomplish this year and left Middletown with no regrets and a ton of memories.Ó Beekmantown kept the TuckersÕ offense off the board for much of the first half until, with just under six minutes remaining, Kaan Ilgin scored.

MattituckÕ s Mike Sullivan pushed the lead to two midway through the second and Ilgin added one more with five minutes left in the game.

Eagles goalie Colden Mrak, who earned a shutout in the semifinals, finished the game with five saves.

Despite coming up a win shy of the title, the ninth-ranked Eagles finished their playoff run with two victories over top-four

teams in the state.

Ichabod Crane was ranked fourth by the state by the New York State Sportswriters Association and Livonia third.

Only Mattituck, the top-ranked Class B team in the state, was able to get by the Eagles. Loucy hopes the teamÕ s strong year will set the stage for future teams to make the deep playoff run. ÒT hey hope they have laid the groundwork for future Beekmantown teams to try and build upon,Ó L oucy said.

Peru church preparing for annual trip to Jamaica Fundraising event to be held Dec. 10.

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com

PERU Ñ Volunteers from the Peru Community Church are preparing for their sixteenth annual good-will trip to Jamaica, and they are actively fundraising for supplies.

Each year the volunteers, consisting of both members and non-members of the church, build a house for a needy member of their sister-church in the highlands of central Jamaica.

They also do repair work on a school and teach children about foreign concepts like snow, apples and farm animals. They also volunteer at orphanages and medical clinics during their 10day trip. Ò Each team member pays their own way.

Plus weÕ re in the process of raising $10,000 for supplies for the program,Ó says Harriet Burrell of the Jamaican Mission Committee.

The home that they build last year replaced a ramshackle corrugated steel building which collapsed shortly after they left.

The mission has attracted volunteers from as far away as Florida and Colorado, as well as various locations throughout the North Country.

To fill their funding gap, the Mission is holding a Craft Beer Tasting Event at the Plattsburgh Brewing Company on Dec. 10, from 5:30 - 8 p.m.

North Countryman - 13

It will include a silent auction, raffles and Jamaican music. Ò The people who go down and spend a week immersed in the Jamaican culture always come back rejuvenated. We receive much more than we give,Ó said Burrell.

People interested in tickets for the event can contact Burrell at 643-9778 or Sally Osborne, at 643-0309.

Christmas trees From page 1

The idea planted itself in his mind, and CovelÕ s Tree Farm was built. Ò We used the old county maps to determine where the fields were and what the soil was,” said Covel. “We cleared the fields, cut the pine, and revamped the types of trees to only Christmas type trees.Ó But it takes quite a while to grow a tree business, and in the meantime, Covel went to work for Agway Incorporated, designing and engineering buildings for Agway around the country.

He worked for Agway for 26 years, and he and his wife Linda had four children on the growing farm. When Agway International went out of business, it was time to do trees full time. Ò We all worked together as a team. It taught our kids how to do work,Ó he said.

Covel sells most of his trees locally, and the business is split between pre-cut and pick-yourown trees. People have already made the jaunt

Nurses

From page 1 Along with donations of hats, mittens and scarves, Brault says that some people and businesses donate yarn, which knitters can then turn into the needed items. Ò Anyone who knits and wants to get involved can contact me, I have a lot of yarn that I can give out,Ó she said. Ò You donÕ t have to be

to Peru to pick out and tag the hand sheered Norway spruce, Frasier Fur, Balsam or White Pine they will be taking home before Christmas.

The season “officially” starts, says Covel, after Thanksgiving. Ò Our goal is to produce the best quality tree that we can here. Some locals (dealers) get their trees from Oregon and theyÕ re pounded with fertilizer and theyÕ re cut in seven years. Trees take from 12 to 15 years to mature here.Ó The naturally grown trees hold their needles much longer according to Covel. So popular are his trees, he says, that he has second and third generation families coming to the farm to pick their trees.

In the 1980s Covel added a tree digging machine, and they are now a licensed nursery as well. They also do custom wreaths while you wait, including a six and a half foot special order monster. Ò I enjoy itÉ why not? The biggest satisfaction is when weÕ re trimming in the summer, and teaching young people work ethics, and some of the basic value of earning your own money.Ó

affiliated with the hospital.”

Brault and fellow coordinator Cathy Patnode say they will arrange for a donation box to be placed at the front desk of the hospital for anyone who would like to drop of items or yarn.

Knitters who would like to get yarn for the project can contact Brault at 569-1479 or Patnode at 314-3009.

“When we first started doing this, the teachers were so, so appreciative. ItÕ s good to give a little bit back to the community,Ó said Patnode.

Dances with Bulls

A wild waste of the worse sort

I

tÕ s been about two weeks since I penned a column about the burgeoning Adirondack moose population. The point of my article was to raise awareness about the gradual return of a truly native species to the Adirondacks.

Although the last, legally harvested moose taken in the Adirondacks was way back in 1861, there continued to be reports of moose traveling through the region as late as the 1890Õ s.

Around the turn of the century, there were numerous attempts to reintroduce moose to the private parks of the Adirondacks.

Unfortunately, none of the efforts proved successful.

A major problem with early reintroduction efforts had to do with stress and body temperature change. Although moose are large and imposing creatures, they have delicate systems and a change of just a few degrees in body temperature can prove fatal.

In the repeated effort to restock the animals, most of the captive animals suffered from heat exhaustion in the railroad box cars that were used to transport them.

According to Gary Lee, a retired DEC Forest Ranger and moose expert from Old Forge, the Browns Tract Guides Association brought several bull and cow moose to the Adirondacks in the early 1900s.

The moose were kept in pens during the winter and released the following spring. Unfortunately the penned moose had become so familiar with their human handlers, they exhibited no fear of man and wandered into the back yards of locals seeking handouts. Local residents killed most of them within just a few miles of their release. Fortunately, similar reintroduction efforts proved successful in restoring the population of beaver and black bear.

While moose sightings continued to be reported over the the ensuing decades, the ungainly looking creatures proved unable to establish a viable population in the park until the 1980Õ s, when a large number of moose began to disperse from neighboring states and Canada to Ô greener pasturesÓ in the Park.

Throughout the 1980Õ s and well into the turn of the century, there were numerous reports of moose swimming across Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence River.

At first, bull moose were discovered looking for love in all the wrong places, mainly in local cow pastures. However, moose eventually managed to establish a small, but viable population, and cows began to deliver calves.

While the Adirondack moose population cannot be compared with Vermont, New Hampshire or Maine herds; it continues to thrive and prosper.

Currently, the greatest threat to moose restoration is a collision with a vehicle. Over a dozen animals have been lost to the highways, including those killed during the fall rut and three more in the spring. Moose are very susceptible to heat stroke, especially if they cannot find cold water to cool them down.

The Adirondack moose population has been estimated between 750 and 1000 animals. The only population of moose living outside the Park are located near Lake Desolation, south of Great Sacandaga Lake.

However, it is not unusual for moose to wander into urban areas while seeking a mate during the breeding season.

DEC estimates there are numerous moose scattered about the region. Some of the more likely hot spots include the Chataguay Highlands, and the Moose River Plains.

Hamiliton County is considered Moose Central, as it encompasses an ideal environment for moose, with numerous ponds, lakes and bogs scattered over more than million acres of wild country.

Despite the natural odds limiting their return, the one factor that seemingly canÕ t be controlled is the illegal poaching of moose; which has occurred almost every year since moose first began to move back into the state.

shut.

According to the DEC News Release detailing the most recent incident, Ò A caretaker from the Santanoni Club contacted DEC Ray Brook Dispatch to report a dead moose on the Tahawus Road in the Town of Newcomb, Essex County.

DEC Environmental Conservation Police investigated the incident and found a female moose calf that appeared to have been shot. It weighed about 250 pounds.

DEC wildlife staff transported the carcass to the DEC Wildlife Health Laboratory in Delmar for a necropsy, which revealed the moose was killed by a shotgun slug or muzzle-loading bullet fired through its chest.

Killing a moose is a misdemeanor offense with a maximum possible penalty of $2,000 in fines and one year imprisonment.

DEC Environmental Conservation Police continue to investigate the most recent incident and anyone with information about the shooting should call the DEC Ray Brook Dispatch at 518-897-1300.

Despite the fact that the vast majority of hunters remain ethical sportsmen and women; it only takes a single incident for all hunters to be painted with the same brush.

It’s the sportsman’s responsibility to report fish and game violations. Not only are they violating the law, they are pilfering a natural resource that belongs to everyone.

Those responsible for the incident didnÕ t kill just a single moose. Tthe female calf had the potential to give birth to numerous offspring overthe span of itÕ s life.

Moose Hot Spots

Have you been looking for moose in all the wrong places?

HereÕ s a list of potential locations where moose have been observed. Warning: Do not attempt to get close to a moose. Watch from a distance. They are large, powerful animals that can cover ground very quickly. They are also very protective of their young.

1. Perkins Clearing region northwest of Speculator (Rt. 30).

(Jessup and Miami Rivers area.)

2. Moose River Plains. (Cedar River Flow to the Adirondack League Club boundary.)

3. Honnedaga Lake - West Canada Creek Area (North of Route 8, Herkimer & Hamilton County) 4. Meacham Lake to Debar Mt. in Franklin County (Rt. 30, north of McColloms) and the area just south of Upper Chateaugay Lake which according to one DEC biologist Ò probably the highest moose density in the state.Ó If you do happen to see a moose, please report your sightings to the NYSDEC, who are currently in the process of conducting a survey. The use of wildlife sightings from sportsmen and citizen scientists helps DEC biologists to understand speciesÕ distribution.

Moose sightings also help them to estimate population numbers, and understand the distribution of individuals throughout the region.

You may also find reports of recent moose sightings online at https://sites.google.com/site/adirondackmooseobservations/ Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

Young moose shot in Newcomb

I regret to report that an incident recently occured along the Tahawus Road near Newcomb when a dead moose calf was discovered by the caretaker of a local hunting club.

The incident follows a string of similar shootings including a yearling bull shot near North River Hill, a large bull with over 50 inch inside spread shot near Otter Brook in the Moose River Plains, a large bull with a 52 inch inside spread shot near Rockdam in the Moose River Plains, and a cow that was shot in Keene Valley.

Unfortunately, moose appear to have been shot just to prove Ò I shot a mooseÓ as most of animals were left to rot in the woods.

Regretably, the only outlaws ever caught and prosecuted were the individuals responsible for shooting The photo of the young moose calf provides a cow moose in evidence the recent shooting was not likely Keene Valley. due to a misidentification. It would be difficult They just couldnÕ t to argue the calf was accidently mistaken for a keep their mouths whitetail deer.

I

invented a new game last weekend I like to call dances with bulls.

Not to be confused with Kevin CostnerÕ s Dances with Wolves; or Michael JordanÕ s former basketball team the Chicago Bulls.

Nope, this match involves a long stare down with a very hostile bull moose. How it would end was up to the 1,200-pound beast charging at me through the Adirondack pucker brush.

I knew there would come a day that IÕ d come face-to-face with one of these long-faced, prehistoric looking gargantuans during a hunt.

With population estimates now pushing 1,000 animals, IÕ d seen tracks and scat left behind and even heard one crash away from me in a deer drive, like a living room sofa careening through the woodland.

I pictured such a sighting as being somewhat idyllic Ñ a massive head emerging from a beaver pond, blinking away flies and lazily munching marsh grass as birds flitted about.

I find the reintroduction of moose here to be profoundly positive news and relish the idea of my son being able to harvest one someday in this state. IÕ d seen a handful of the beasts along roadsides here, and snapped photos of one in a field in Westport, but had never spotted one during a hunt.

That all changed last weekend, but the sequence of events that unfolded turned out to be anything but idyllic.

The bull I encountered was accompanied by a mature cow, who showed herself first and sauntered at me with a long striding gait. She would have run me over, had I not made a threatening move in her direction Ñ the same type of move IÕ ve used countless times in the past to send bears and the like scurrying. It also worked with her and she went loping over a hillside.

Problem was, she wasnÕ t alone. Twenty seconds later I was eye to eye with her suitor, and he wasnÕ t liking the idea of me coming between them. He closed the 80 or so yards between us so fast that I barely had time to react. Gun on my shoulder I back peddled, putting as many large trees between the two of us as possible.

And the dance was on.

Thirty yards turned into 20, and 20 into 10. I quickly came to the realization that this beast was used to being king of the jungle Ñ and it was anything but afraid. Its ears laid back, it grunted, licked its lips and gnashed its teeth. Foam rolled from its snout as it lowered its head and stomped at the ground. Ò DonÕ t make meÓ I said under my breath as it peered around the final tree between us. The animal was so close, I couldnÕ t even get it in the scope Ñ instead, I held my 30-06 on my shoulder and peered down the barrel.

I didnÕ t dare move.

The moose swung its antlers from side to side, as if to goad me into action and stood yards away for what seemed like an eternity. I thought about a warning shot, but didnÕ t dare unaquire the animal for fear it would charge with the barrel of my gun trained on a tree.

One more threatening lurch in my direction, I thought, and IÕ ll be forced to react.

Instead, thankfully, the animal turned and slowly disappeared in the direction of its female companion, stopping occasionally to glance back in my direction.

I let out a long sigh of relief, clicked the safety on, and continued my hunt.

Later, plopped haplessly out of harmÕ s way in front of a computer monitor, research showed me that moose attacks are not as rare as one might think. In fact, 5-10 people in Alaska are wounded annually in moose attacks Ñ thatÕ s more than grizzly and black bear attacks combined.

Nevertheless, moose do not tend toward natural aggression, and most will move on without harm. The important thing to remember is that, first and foremost, moose are wild animals and will defend themselves if provoked or threatened by a human or a barking dog.

The most dangerous time for moose aggression, according to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, occurs in September and October, during mating season and in the early spring when protective cows are guarding young calves.

How Moose Size Up In The Animal Kingdom

Will Coats, age 16, of Keeseville shows off the nice 8-pointer he dropped while hunting with his father Ed Coats in the Alleghany County town of Whitesville. Will shot the buck opening morning of the southern zone season, Nov. 15, at 10:30 a.m. It had a 19-inch inside spread. Congratulations Will!

• The largest mammal in the deer family, moose are taller than a horse -- 5 to 6.5 feet tall (1.5 to 2.0 meters) from ground to shoulder.

• Heavier than a bear -- male moose, called bulls, weigh up to 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms), females are usually a few hundred pounds less.

• Faster than a kangaroo -- moose run up to 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour).

• A bull moose can have antlers six feet (1.8 meters) from end to end
