INDIAN LAKEÑ You might ask the average person what is Irish Road Bowling and chances are they really donÕ t know.

But ask someone from Ireland or Indian Lake and the answer will be a really fun time.

Irish Road Bowling has been played since the late 1600s in the country of Ireland. The story goes that the Irish rebels robbed cannonballs from the English and rolled them home by the light of the full moon.

Organizers of the Indian Lake event have also heard form one summer resident, who comes from Ireland, that it was played in Ireland on the walk home from Sunday Mass. Supposedly they would find a nice round rock and roll it down the road as they were returning home.

In Indian Lake this Ò sportÓ originated in March of 2006 at the annual St. PatrickÕ s Weekend Celebration. This March will be the 10th Year for this event. For the very first year there was a total of nine teams that competed, and now there are over 50 teams participating.

CHESTERTOWN Ñ At a special meeting held March 2, the Chester Town Board endorsed the concept of a medical marijuana growing and processing operation to be situated in town, as proposed by Amy and Hillary Peckham, relatives of John Peckham, John Peckham, CEO of Peckham Industries.

The board voted unanimously to approve the idea of such an operation after listening to a lengthy presentation focusing on the likely public benefits of such an operation, which include providing 25 to 30 jobs and provide substntial new tax revenue for the town.

New York State is poised to award five state licenses to grow and dispense medical marijuana, in a competitive bid process. Statewide, about 20 entities so far have announced their intentions to vie for the licenses. Hillary Peckham, 23, daughter of John and Amy Peckham, told the board she expected that 80 more or so proposals would surface in the next few months.

Details of the licensing and permitting havenÕ t yet been determined by the state. The Peckhams estimated that the license applications would be due about May 1. Entities chosen for licenses are to be announced July 1, and the state is mandating that the enterprises are to be operational Jan. 1 with a yearsÕ supply of product ready to distribute, Hillary Peckham said.

Minerva Central School shows off its stellar talent

By Mike Corey

denpubs@denpubs.com MINERVA Ñ Special abilities were out in force at Minerva Central School the evening of Feb. 25 as the MCS Drama Club presented a talent show for the community.

Included in this energetic and entertaining event were various comedic skits, dance numbers, guitar and piano solos, band and chorus pieces, guitar/singing duets, a karate/gymnastics presentation, individual singing spotlights, tricks from Jack the Dog, and the Bayse Family Band. The talent of MCS students, staff, and community members was on display.

The gymnasium was arranged with a sort of cabaret environment in mind, with the audience at tables to enjoy the show along with a diverse array of beverages and goodies. Minerva Central School Music Director Sabrina LaPointe directed and produced the show, with plenty of assistance from students, staff, and community members. First Grade teacher Natasha Svrchek provided fine piano accompaniment for the evening.

An Art Walk (present as one approached the cabaret locale) was arranged by MCS Art teacher Janelle Beaulieu and her students. It was indeed an evening for the arts at Minerva Central School, and it was an excellent opportunity to showcase the work and talent of MCS students.

Ò We have to break ground on the facilities the day weÕ re permitted,Ó she said of the tight time schedule.

The Peckhams said the boardÕ s blessing would give them a competitive advantage for licensing, as well as the fact that the proposed operation is to be situated in a relatively remote and secure area, and the operation would provide a major boost to the local economy.

The operation would be situated in the industrial park owned by Peckham Industries, about one mile south of the hamlet of Chestertown on state Rte. 9 across from the firm’s gravel quarries.

The PeckhamsÕ initial plans call for the growing and processing to be conducted inside in an existing barn measuring about 7,500 square feet, plus a one-story warehouse-type building to be constructed adjacent to it.

Peckham Industries Vice President Peter Simoneau, on hand Monday to introduce Amy and Hillary Peckham, said the facilities need to be completed by mid-October to have enough plants ready

by January — a requirement of the state.

The operation would produce marijuana extract in both oil and pill form, according to Joseph Stevens of Vernon New Jersey, a consultant for the Peckhams who assisted in their presentation. Stevens is a principal in a licensed medical marijuana operation in New Jersey.

The state is mandating that each successful licensee operate four dispensaries, likely spread out regionally. These would be operating under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist certified to dispense medical marijuana.

Citizens attending the March 2 meeting questioned whether the Peckhams, operating as the corporation Etain LLC, would be establishing a local dispensary.

Amy Peckham said that the state hasnÕ t yet an-

nounced requirements for location of the dispensaries, so they didnÕ t yet know yet. Hillary Peckham said that EtainÕ s dispensaries would likely be located along the Hudson River corridor, and one might be located in Warren County. Stevens said that wherever one were situated, it would boost local commerce.

Medical marijuana would only be dispensed to patients who had specific diseases and syndromes, and they’d meet strict qualifications, Hillary Peckham said, noting that the state was requiring that licensees each be ready to supply 1,900 patients.

If Etain is awarded a license, job positions would call for experience in horticulture, construction, pharmaceutical work, security, property management, chemical engineering, and perhaps culinary expertise, as well as general labor. Hillary said that the licenced facilities were required by the state to allow labor to unionize if requested. Ò These will be high-skill, living-wage jobs,Ó she said, adding that if in future years marijuana is decriminalized — or more syndromes qualify for treatment with marijuana Ñ many more jobs could be created at their facility, and revenue to local municipalities would increase.

Hillary noted that Etain had the talent to make the operation a success, citing that her sister Keeley, a partner in the firm, was a certified horticultural therapist and had minored in business at Tulane University. Hillary, a graduate of Hamilton College, holds a certificate in Business Management from Dartmouth. Her mother Amy has 15 yearsÕ experience as a paralegal.

If Etain is chosen for a license, Warren County could reap considerable benefits, Hillary Peckham said. The marijuana will be subject to a 7 percent excise tax Ñ and the counties hosting the marijuana production plants are to receive 22.5 percent of this tax, and the county where it is dispensed is to get another 22.5 percent. The state is likely to keep the rest of the excise tax.

Notes from Planet Earth

By Wes Dingman

Consciousness revisited

T

he puzzles and paradoxes provided by our brain continue to encourage much interesting and revealing research and discussion. For example, it has been estimated that, of the total quantity of information that pours into our brain from all our sensory receptors most every minute, we become aware of only about one-millionth of that information. Most of this information is ultimately discarded, and forgotten, as not being relevant to our existence. While another big chunk of it is used, usually outside of our awareness, to regulate our heart, lungs, intestines, etc. Only a very tiny amount of this information is selected by the executive part of our brain to pay attention to which, in turn, leads us to become conscious of the stimulus, if only for a short time.

Further complicating our perception of the reality around us is the fact that it takes time for a stimulus to excite a sense receptor, for example our eye, and then for those signals to travel from our eye to our brain and for our brain to process these signals sufficiently for us to be conscious of them. Studies have shown that this time amounts to about a half second.

Thus an event that we are conscious of seeing has, in fact, occurred before we were aware of it, but our brains lead us to believe the event did not occur until we consciously saw it occurring.

The same thing happens when we are pricked by a pin Ð we believe we felt the brief pain when the pin entered our skin but, in fact, the penetration of our skin took place a measurable time prior to our experience of pain.

Moreover, it can be demonstrated that our

www.newsenterprise.org brain, using its prior experience of our world, can “fill in” gaps or blind spots in our current experience of the world thus leaving us unaware that some data is missing. This is what makes turning left through across a lane where there may be oncoming traffic especially dangerous. This latter process is also among those that make us generally poor Ò eye witnessesÓ of events. From the standpoint of survival under imminent stress it makes sense that our brain would often lead us to act without taking the time for us to think about or even be aware of an imminent threat. For example, one would be much less likely to survive if one had to become fully aware of, and make a thoughtful assessment of, a rapidly approaching threat such as a falling limb or an oncoming car, before taking action.

However, consciousness does seem to be very closely related, if not identical, to the focus of our attention at any given moment. Recently, the neurophysiologist Michael Graziano has suggested in his book, Ò Consciousness and the Social Brain,Ó Oxford University Press, 2013, that consciousness is not some special property or anatomical region of larger brains but just a word weÕ ve invented to proclaim our awareness of some of the activity going on in our own brain or in someone elseÕ s brain. If this is the case, then consciousness is not a special attribute of humans and the higher primates but just another word for awareness.

Physicians have long been highly motivated to find a means of testing for consciousness in those patients who are totally unresponsive because of severe brain injury but nevertheless very aware of pain and their surroundings - a state is known as the Ò locked-in syndromeÓ .

Fortunately some recent progress toward this goal has been reported using electrical waves recorded from the brain using an electroencephalograph or EEG.

o comment about the cold, though the snow is being enjoyed immensely by hardy souls! Our 50 plus chickadees do not seem to notice the nasty wind.

They donÕ t even puff up their feathers the way goldfinches do. So how do you count a chickadee? They mostly look identical.

We feed by spreading black oil sunflower seeds on the carport roof which is next to the sliding glass door. We can watch them from very close up, and my binoculars which focus to 1.5 feet. I mean I can see each toe when they eat standing on a branch that was blown in by the wind. They hold the seeds, some very small, with the inside toes or sometimes with just one toe, so that they can chop the hull open. They never seem to miss and stab a toe though their feet are so cold maybe they are numb. I know their feet are cold because many of them feed from my hand, and I can feel the sharp little claws too. Today when my hand got numb too, I discovered that of course they are just as happy feeding from a mitten.

So, if you want to feed from the hand, if it is cold out wear a mitten. Then they wonÕ t startle you by pecking on your finger, I suppose to see if it is good to eat. If you have another person, especially a child, feed them from a bare hand, warn them that the claws are a little prickly and if they peck their finger, just try to relax as they never draw blood. One that pecked my lip did hurt a little, however.

It doesnÕ t take too long to train some chickadees as they can be very bold. I once had one land on an apple I was eating way back in the winter woods. Start out by having no seeds available elsewhere around your house, preferably first thing in the morning. You might just stand near the food at first and put seeds on your hat as landing there is less threatening to them. Some of Ò ourÓ local birds which were trained last year came in to the hand immediately but there are others, no doubt the young of last spring and ones which have come south because of crop failure up north, do repeated “fly-bys” where they zip by close and off again, over and over. They may hover nearby but they just can’t take the last step. When they finally get up the nerve to land, another bird flying in will often scare them off before they grab a seed, poor souls. I think eventually I may get scared away myself by a huge flock of hungry birds!

So again, how do you count a chickadee?

Ramblings

By Evelyn Greene see markings on their flock members so that a pecking order can be maintained, if I remember rightly. Insects often use it to follow a track in a flower to the nectar. But I can’t see those markings!) By watching a nearby bird as it lands on a twig and starts chopping at the seed hull, I have determined that the average time it takes to open a slot and eat out the seed bit by bit is about 45 seconds. So after starving them for a while I throw down the seeds and start counting the birds that fly in for that amount of time.

At that point the first bird may be finished and fly down for another seed. This is all very rough science of course. Maybe you can do better.

One day recently I was feeding them when suddenly the whole flock flew off to the west twittering with a high pitched call I had never noticed before. I looked to the east and saw a sharp-shinned hawk fly in and land in a tree, then fly to another opposite where I was standing. It was a well-known danger call, one of many different calls chickadees use. Within ten minutes a few of the birds were back. I stood guard for a bit but the hawk seemed to have left.

We will use up 40 pounds of seed (and this year it may be important to keep feeding into spring though chickadees do stash seeds here and there in the woods) and an amazing amount of suet. (Thanks, Tops, for selling it this year.)

The two woodpecker and two nuthatch species do squeeze in between the chickadees on the suet, but the titmice have disappeared during the winter. We have not had the pleasure of seeing the redpolls which are around this winter, and the goldfinches have seldom come in.

How do the chickadees survive these awful nights, such tiny bits (.4 ounce!) of lively, cheerful life? I think they crowd into the dead tree nests they have excavated in the spring, but the northern strangers would not know where they are. However, they stick with the resident flock during the day and no doubt follow them to where they go. The book says they roost in dense conifers too, but I canÕ t imagine any dense enough to protect the birds from these frigid winds. I would love to know where they spend their nights, but not enough to try to follow them at dusk!

School buildings should be more accessible

S

mall communities throughout the North Country have one commonality Ñ their center of community is anchored by a stately, often historic school facility where a bedrock of learning has long been fused with the laughter of children.

With that, it is little wonder that residents of these districts bristle at the mention of consolidation and the end of an era.

Many of us here at Denton Publications also are alumni of these facilities Ñ our children attend as well.

We get it.

But we have to question, are the school complexÕ s themselves being utilized to their fullest potential?

Like the typical personÕ s home, these buildings usually represent the single largest tangible asset in which a community and local taxpayers invest.

Inside are state-of-the-art libraries and computer labs with long-distance-learning capabilities, sparkling commercial kitchens, large meeting areas, gymnasiums with exercise rooms, auditoriums with seating for hundreds and even indoor pools.

Most are backed up with emergency generation in the event of extreme weather and power outages.

While some districts offer after hour access to these amenities, we have to question: can’t they be made more accessible?

Are we missing an opportunity to provide residents valuable services by shuttering these buildings before the sun sets over the mountaintops?

Would the positive public reaction to a more accessible school help soften the stance of taxpayers toward tax increases?

Clearly, the focus of these buildings is to provide an education that will ready our children for the future. That goes without question. What we are questioning is what should happen inside when the last bell rings and the buildings go dark.

Michelle Obama recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of her popular ÒL etÕ s MoveÓ initiative, which encourages 60 minutes of physical activity a day for children, 30 minutes for adults.

But here in the North Country Ñ where itÕ s been said we have two seasons: winter and July Ñ it can be a daunting task to obtain that exercise, especially for the elderly or for low income families who canÕ t necessarily afford the drive or price of fitness facilities.

So, why not open local schools to these people during the evenings?

At the same time, why not open school complexÕ s during the evening and weekends for other uses like adult basketball and volleyball leagues,

weight lifting, senior gatherings, community theater or community meals and meetings?

Community members could be asked to sign a liability waiver prior to utilizing the facility or equipment, and the building could be staffed by either a part-time recreation director or a current paid employee of the school.

We can just hear the collective groan from overburdened taxpayers at that last suggestion.

Again, we get it.

No one wants to add expense to the bottom line of school spending plans these days, but consider this: The area is slowly morphing into a region of senior citizens and second homeowners Ñ many of whom do not have children in school. And, many of whom have no vested interest in approving next yearÕ s budget.

Forward thinking school officials would be wise to be mindful of that fact. These people might just vote differently if they see a return in the form of a more accessible facility.

Plus, other than staffing, the overhead of operating a school is mostly a fixed cost. Taxpayers already pay to heat the building, so how much cost would be incurred by flicking on the lights?

Meanwhile, school officials should look at ways of utilizing the buildings as a source of revenue.

For example, counties often struggle to find centrally located facilities for meal sites. Those who do host sites are reimbursed by agencies like Adirondack Community Action Programs. If our schools became the host, why couldnÕ t this become a source of revenue for them?

The same could apply if school officials considered entering into agreements with private groups looking for locations to host events that could range from arts and craft fairs to out-of-town entertainers to farmers markets, convention, vendor or sportsmen shows.

Entertainers like The Logger, also known as VermontÕ s own Rusty DeWees, have already recognized the untapped potential of using these facilities to benefit both the public and private sector.

Performances like The Logger in turn help stimulate ailing local economies, often during the offseason when the only non-locals to be found are lost Canadians seeking a gas pump.

At a time when words like consolidation and shared services are all the buzz, it is time that school officials recognize that these buildings can be more than just places we educate our children.

Through accessibility, they can also be true community centers Ñ making them that much more valuable to taxpayers. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor

Another group forgotten To the News Enterprise: Letters to editors are generally ideal tools to use to increase awareness about people, issues and troubles in the community.

This particular letter has been sent because the world needs to know about a forgotten group of men who served in our military during a period of history called Ò The Cold War ERAÓ when the treat of nuclear war between former superpowers the Soviet Union and the United States was a very real possibility.

I support my fellow veterans.

I mean, if we do not support the men (and women) who worked for this country, our country, then who in this world will?

I submit this letter to introduce people to these men, a little known group that appears to have been forgotten by their own country and literally left to die.

After filling and building a 55’ high, 370’ diameter, 2 foot thick concrete containment structure with 109,840 yards of radioactive/ contaminated soil and debris on an atoll in the Pacific, these men completed their tours of duty and were sent home.

However, as well might be expected, there would be much more to their story.

I am taking about a group of military veterans known as atomic clean-up veterans, men who served between the years 1977-1980.

After detonating approximately 67 nuclear bombs in the North Pacific on the Marshall Islands, it was determined by the United States that perhaps we as country needed to clean up the radioactive contaminated atolls in the Island chain.

The men assigned that duty were little more than teenagers at the time.

I am attempting to share their history with the world because currently, these men are seeking basic but essential recognition of their service. They are rallying together in hopes that they may be included in a government dictated definition of who actually did what on those atolls in the Marshall Islands.

Many of the surviving men from this era simply wish to be granted access to necessary care they are currently (and some desperately) in need of to treat illnesses acquired post exposure to radioactive contaminated workspaces.

The atomic clean-up vets ate, drank, breathed, worked and slept in highly radioactive environments for months at a time, often with just cut-off BDUs and wide-brimmed hats as their only protection against a contaminate that would takes years to manifest into debilitating, cancerous conditions.

For many, it is already too late. Cancer isnÕ t picky and when it strikes, nobody knows what the fight is going to turn into or what the end result is going to be.

Decades after their almost frivolously casual exposure to so much radioactive materials, numerous members of these various clean-up crews are currently experience major health issues inclusive of various cancers attributed to exposure to radiation.

Actually, relative to the number who served on the atolls in these clean-up crews, few survivors are still alive. It has been decades since their intense exposure and Congress has yet to acknowledge their service, often to the point of being conveniently unable to locate medical records or other proof many of these men are currently seeking to offer as proof they served on the islands.

This is just one more case where our own country has dropped the ball on its veterans.

Currently, the Enewetak Atomic Debris Cleanup Vets participants are not recognized by Congress and the federal government as Ò soldiers who participated in high risk/radiation exposure activity.Ó Thus, these men are ineligible to access funds, which were otherwise set aside for those experiencing health complications due to radiological exposure on Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands.

If nothing else today, look up the website atomiccleanupvets. com and leave these guys a message. Let them know they are not totally forgotten.

You may be asking yourself, Ò Why should I care? What should I do?Ó

You can write a letter to your congressperson and support these men in their endeavors. There is strength in numbers. And I am hoping that in sharing their story, more people will realize they need outside support.

They are literally in a fight for their lives. Won’t you consider doing something as simple as contacting your congressperson to help these men? It will not cost you anything but a few minutes of your time.

You ask why I am recirculating this letter to the editor Ñ it is because my husband is one of many atomic clean-up vets who served on Enewatak Atoll.

Eager to hear Netanyahu To the News Entperprise: It has been quite obvious during Barack Obama’s presidency that he is no fan of IsraelÕ s Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. Their relationship is definitely strained, if not downright bitter.

One of them, whose oath demands that he protect & defend the American people, inexplicably downplays the dangers and atrocities of ISIS and Al-qaida while the other is an unambiguous leader who knows the consequences of turning a blind eye to his countryÕ s enemies.

The Israeli P.M. has been invited to speak this week to Congress

by Speaker of the House John Boehner. I, for one, am eager to hear what he has to say. Have not other world leaders bent the ear of our presidents and U.S. representatives in the past?

Does he intend to sway policies of our Congress? Maybe, maybe not, but the same charge can be slung at the White House administration. A team of Ò consultantsÓ associated with ObamaÕ s election bid in 2012 have been feverishly working to defeat Mr. Netanyahu leading up to IsraelÕ s election day on March 17th.

I conclude my remarks with the hope that America and Israel continue to be in each others good graces despite recent turbulence. Knowing that the God of Israel gave an assurance to Abraham in Genesis 12:3, I would rather cling to IsraelÕ s coattails and no others.

Stop Government bullying in schools To the News Enterprise: Is anyone out there tired of hearing our state and national leaders threaten vetoes if they donÕ t get their way? What is happened to the idea of representative government and checks and balances?

Is this bullying at its apex?

Teacher evaluation and bonus payments to super teachers are great ideas when you have a fair and objective method of evaluation. We do not have that now. Certainly test scores reflect to an extent the effectiveness of the teacher, but there are so many other factors such as family life, poverty, native ability, addiction and other health problems.

And yet our governor is refusing to budge on the GAP elimination or even releasing aid projections until he gets his way.

It would be refreshing to see our legislators on both sides of the Aisle unite and stand up to the governor and override vetoes. It would also be refreshing to see the voters unite and vote out of office their representatives that stay with the status quo.

It is time to emphasize the positive things about schools and stop destroying what we have. Act now before it is too late.

Horses

W

hen I was little and ran up to my dad, begging for something we couldnÕ t afford, he would raise his huge hands and say, Ò Hold your horses. LetÕ s talk about it.Ó What is there about mankind and horses?

Before he died, we asked our father to speak his entire private and professional life onto tape. His childhood was the stuff movies are made of. For a time, they had no housing and spent their nights sleeping in the stables beneath the horses. My grandfather was a teamster.

Each morning, he took his son Russell, his team and wagon and parked along a city street waiting to be enlisted to move anything that would fit on the wagon.

My dad paid his dues by using his tremendous strength to

by Gordie Little load and unload heavy objects, sometimes carrying them up many flights of stairs. Growing up, I saw my father rip a New York City telephone book in half and snap a new clothesline with his bare hands.

When it was time for the county fair, I always headed for the horse pull competition. I watched the interaction between farmers and their teams. Sometimes, the man who whispered to his horses, encouraged them to pull the heaviest load. Often, bigger teams with screaming owners, pulled less.

In grade school, my preacher dad had a mission church in Hogansburg. My Native American friends, the Garrows, owned a Shetland pony and my days were complete when they allowed me to climb aboard.

In high school, I spent time on the Rockhill farm in Moira joining my friend Theron, riding bareback around the remnants of an ancient racetrack. On the Hiltz farm where I worked, I hitched a horse to the dump rake. Farmer Dave cultivated with the horse and also used it to pull hay up from the wagon with a long rope.

When I spent a summer at Adventure Town near Alexandria Bay in the mid Ô 50s, I watched as the teams were harnessed and hitched to a stage coach every morning. I got to sit inside and fire off an entire box of shotgun blanks as we were chased by outlaws into the village at breakneck speed.

I got to watch my friends ride the broncos in the rodeo shows and tested my youthful strength on the huge Brahma bulls. How did I not break bones? Only God knows.

When I moved to Plattsburgh in 1961, I set out to find all the riding stables nearby. I enjoyed trail riding in those days. Sadly, most of those stables are long gone, but a few remain.

I havenÕ t ridden in years. IÕ m not certain there is a horse around here that could hold my backside. If there were, IÕ m not at all sure I could climb aboard without help from a crane.

The Gales in Moira and Jack Connell in Keeseville gave me pleasure at the horse races during county fairs. JackÕ s daughter Marla continues riding and boarding horses on the farm. I love seeing photos from their frequent rides with friends. Most of us also get excited to watch the Kentucky Derby every year.

I worked in radio for years with Anne Tarasavage.

Her daughter Carla loved to ride as a tyke and now owns a wonderful horse ranch in Arizona.

My brother Õ s granddaughter, Rosie, has worked with horses for years and I follow her daily posts about that love affair with the equines including her little mare, Ò Sparrow.Ó Daphne Wright operates a riding school in Saranac.

When I watch these people with their horses, I have no doubt that their special relationships are in-born.

We enjoy the beer commercials with the famous Clydesdales. I enjoyed announcing at the Morgan showings in the past. If you love horses, as I do, you know the bond is natural. They have been an integral part of human history. KayeÕ s father, the late Alfred Vaughan, used to tell of horses races through Morrisonville in the days of dirt roads.

As a matter of fact, when Kaye was born, her dad hitched up the team and headed through the blizzard to find a doctor who could help.

I have a friend who feels compelled to paint horses and I have written a fun ghost story about it from Macomb Street in Plattsburgh.

Want to take a guess as to the tallest horse on record? 21.2-1/2 hands (a hand is 4 inches); 3,360 pounds. He was born in England in 1846 and was first named Ò Sampson,Ó then Ò Mammoth.Ó Now, THATÕ s a horse.

Jack Jay, Robber Jay

L

ast weekend, I witnessed a fairly large bird repeatedly attack a group of smaller birds at my feeder. The big bird didnÕ t stick around for very long. Rather, it would fly in, fill its cheeks to the beak and promptly chase off any competition that dared to challenge it for food. Plainly, it was a bully!

I watched it pack as much feed as possible in its craw, and fly off to the woods again and again.

It was extremely entertaining. I recognized it as a Gray Jay, measuring less than a foot in height, and about ten inches in length. It was gray on top with a bit of a crown, and grayish-white on its undersides. With a white forehead and throat, it appeared to be kind of chesty as it strutted around. It also came with an attitude that very few birds could get away with, and it took great pride in announcing and molesting any species that intruded on the edge of the feeder.

Gray jays are Ò scatter- hoarders.Ó and they use natural glue that is in their saliva to paste food reserves they stash in the bark of spruce and fir trees. They also collect trinkets, such as tin foil, plastic, and broken glass that they use to decorate their surroundings. They are both loud, and flashy They create hundreds of individual food stashes, and retrieve an incredible 75-85 percent of their stored food. By some estimates, they may have thousands of food caches at one time, These caches allow them to live year round in areas like the Adirondacks and Quebec where the winters are brutal and nesting begins early, in February and March. Their young begin to leave the nest in early May, at about the same time migratory species are returning north.

Gray jays are omnivorous, which means theyÕ ll eat mammals, nestling birds, carrion as well as fruits and seeds They live year round in the northern U.S and Canada, primarily in habitats that favor spruce-fir forests, similar to their close cousins the Blue Jay. They are members of the corvid (crow) family and while IÕ ve often considered Blue Jays and Ravens to be Ò Town CriersÕ of the woods, the Gray Jay truly takes the cake in this regard.

In comparison with Gray Jays, all the others are downright bashful when this loudmouth begins to strut in with itÕ s chest all puffed out.

The gray jay makes a series of whistling sounds of Ò wheeooÓ or Ò wheee-ah.Ó and it also has a much harsher alarm call of Ò kren kren kren.Ó Its alarm call is a screeching Ò jaaayy.Ó Yup, itÕ s annoying, to the point of being offensive, but it gets the job done.

The jays also appear to be hungry all the time, but itÕ s probably just because they are hoarders. They eat fruits, seeds and insects, but during the winter months; they feed primarily on conifer seeds.

Currently, Gray Jays are currently entering into the breeding season. They are very protective of their select area of the woods, and theyÕ re not afraid to let your know it.

The birds can appear to be very tame and will often hang around a camp looking for an opportunity to take food. They also like shiny objects. IÕ ve read tales of Jack Jays pilfering rings and watches that lumberjacks left on the windowsill, after washing their hands outside the cook cabin.

It may explain why shiny objects such as silver coins, tin foil and Mylar balloons are commonly found in their Gray jay nests.

I expect it is also the reason Native Peoples including Cree, Algonquin and Mohawk consider Gray Jays to be tricksters, the equivalent of a coyote among the western nations.

The term Whiskey Jack or Jack Jay is believed to be an Anglicized

www.newsenterprise.org

pronunciation of the Algonquin term Wisakedjak, who was an Algonquin trickster god.

The gray jay is also known as a Ò robber jayÕ due to their habit of pilfering food and shiny objects to take back to the nest. They are hoarders, of both food and trinkets.

National Parks Iniative

Recently, President Obama announced the creation of a national initiative that will ensure every fourth grader in the country has the opportunity to visit a National Park or similar, public park lands. The effort will provide all fourthgrade students and their families with free admission to National Parks and other federal lands and waters for a full year.

The initiative is a joint effort of the White House, the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the Department of the Interior, The National Park Service, The National Park Foundation, and many non-governemental organizations.

The Outdoor Alliance for Kids, a network of organizations committed to connecting children to nature, also played a significant role in the development of the initiative.

The current effort takes a page from the skierÕ s playbook, which provides all 4th graders with free lessons, skiing and boarding.

Ski areas long ago recognized the importance of Ô starting them youngÕ , after studies revealed the majority of our lifelong recreational habits are determined by the time we graduate 4th grade.

And itÕ s not just skiing that weÕ re talking about here. It also includes hiking and swimming, fishing, biking, boating, and a full spectrum of similar recreational life skills.

ItÕ s important to note that the recreational pursuits of our youth will positively affect our health and wellbeing long into the future.

Although the new national effort targets the use of National Parks and Monuments, there is a pressing need to develop similar statewide efforts, especially in New York where some of the finest, and most underutilized wild parklands in the country can be found.

It may be time for the NYS Education Department to require every 4th Grader in the state has an opportunity to spend at least one full day in the park.

And if they came, I bet theyÕ d be back!

Cornell to hold workshops

`Gray Jays, close relatives of the more commoon BllueJay, are currently beginning the breeding season across the Northeast.

Ice/cold water training on Bulwagga Bay I

t may not seem like spring will ever get here, but in time, Lake Champlain will thaw and pose a potential danger. Ice fishermen, dog walkers, cross country skiers and cold water wanderers of all sorts, can become victims if they break through thawing or rotten ice.

Fire fighters from our

By Rich Redman area participated in an Ice /Cold Water Rescue Technician course taught by the Office of Fire Prevention and Control (OFPC). New York State certified instructors from the Fire Academy, taught the course to Whitehall, Schroon Lake, Port Henry and Moriah firefighters so they know how to handle on-ice rescues. For two weekend days, Dave Simmons, and George Bassler, gave 16 hours of hands on instruction certifying 18 firefighters as Ice/Cold Water Rescue Technicians.

Classroom education was about types of ice, ice strengths and formation, cold water isothermic temperatures, which maintains the water at 39.2 degrees under the ice, types of specialized rescue equipment, and the physical dangers involving the human body when they become hypothermic.

Hypothermia is when the human body temperature, falls below 95 degrees. The loss of body temperature symptoms include, impairment of fine motor skills, loss of judgment and what is termed the Ò umbles, mumbles, fumbles and stumblesÓ . Moderate to severe hypothermia steals the humanÕ s ability to rescue themselves, eventually causing a coma or even death. Self- rescue becomes impossible, and that is where the rescue training comes into play.

This customized training required the rescuers to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as” Mustang” or Ò GumbyÓ cold water suits for their own safety. Rescuer safety is the number one priority. A rescuer becoming a victim only compounds the problem.

On-ice training included using specialized equipment, such as an RTC “banana boat”, ice rescue floatation rings, rope handling and carabineerÕ s , rope rescue throw bags, and MARSARS rescue sleds, which both Port Henry and Moriah Fire have as standard equipment. Self-rescue techniques for the rescuers along with various rescue skills for victims were taught.

Medical aspects and handling techniques of cold water victims was stressed as the human body becomes extremely sensitive when hypothermic. Do no harm was emphasized.

Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in the U.S.; with over 4000 lives lost annually. Using the proper equipment, in conjunction with specially trained technicians, we may be able to lower that number. Our lakes are vital to our Adirondack economics. Having rescue technicians is important. NO ice is safe ice, so think before you become a statistic!

With Lake Champlain, and Lake George at our doorsteps, regionalization of specialized teams should be considered to help individual towns and village departments with ice rescue and cold water needs. Fire equipment is costly and no one department can do it all. Regionalization of these specially trained and equipped teams would spread the cost out among the towns. With man-power shortages in every department, regionalization would also allow firefighters from neighboring departments to work together as a specialized team. No one wants to give up their piece of the pie, but there is no pie, if there are no pieces! ItÕ s time to think about economic and man-power conservation. WISE USE!

Irish Road Bowlers

Bakers Mills News

Continued from page 1 The general idea is to roll a 28oz. road bowl a determined distance in the least amount of rolls. The team consists of four members and they alternate rolls. If the bowl (ball) goes off the course it has to be retrieved and the play then resumes. Sometimes the bowl can go in the gutter, in the woods or even in the water where it can be hazardous to retrieve. Even though there is hazards this event is gaining popularity within the community by both players and observers.

The Irish Road Bowling event will take place on Saturday, March 14, during the St. PatrickÕ s Day Weekend Celebration.

Registration and check in will begin at noon at Indian Lake Town Hall with play beginning at 1 p.m. The course is to be announced.

The awards ceremony will take place at Indian Lake Restaurant & Tavern at after the game.

Pre-registration forms are available at the town hall and the chamber of commerce. There will be four divisions for this event, family, menÕ s, womenÕ s, and mixed. The family division must consist of 2-3 players under the age of 16 and at least one player over the age of 18, and must be immediate family. The menÕ s and womenÕ s divisions have to consist of four players over the age of 16. The mixed division can be men and women mixture over the age of 16. There is a $5 charge for each player or $20 for the team.

All proceeds will go to the Cabin Fever Players who are raising money for a 2016 musical production.

For any questions or to pre-register, call Indian Lake’s Events/ Activities Dept. at 648-5828.

Irish Road bowling will take place Saturday, March 14, in Indain Lake.

Jamboree

Continued from page 1 Ò This is the one major fundraising event that the PTSA does and it helps to fund our programs for the two years following it,Ó she said. Ò The PTSA uses these funds to provide events/services to the students/staff/parents at JCS.Ò To get the baskets, the PTSA and event planners request donations from local businesses in the form of items or themed baskets which are then raffled off to raise funds for the PTSA. Ò There is a countless number of local businesses, community members and students that donate to the Jamboree,Ó Hayes said. Ò We had over 200 people attend the last Jaguar Jamboree. We have about 30 volunteers that put on the Jamboree.Ó Along with the basket raffle, there will be a complimentary coffee house in the school cafetorium from 5 to 6 p.m. Ò A local church offered to provided a complimentary Coffee House for those attending which is one half hour before the start of preview time for those who arrive early to purchase their tickets and would like some light refreshment,Ó Mottram said.

Weather Watch

F

ebruary 2015 will long be remembered for its unrelenting cold, with windchills often well below zero. For those who enjoy Winter it was a delight. But for those people who dislike Winter, and I have heard that there are some, it was a distasteful experience.

The average high temperature was 20.2 degrees and the average low was a bonechilling 0.2 degrees giving us an average temperature of 10.0 degrees, a huge 10.5 degrees below normal and the coldest on record for February. The previous coldest February was in 1993 when the average temperature was 12.5 degrees and the warmest was in 1984 when the average was 29 degrees. What is even more amazing was that it was the third coldest average temperature for any month. The all time coldest months were January 1982 and January 1994 when the average was 8.3 degrees. The highest temperature, 36 degrees, was recorded on the 22nd and the coldest temperature, -22 degrees, was recorded on the 24th. There were 15 days with below zero readings compared to an average of about 6. This February was colder than January (average temperature 13.10) for only the second time in 35 years. The last time February was colder than January was in 1993 , the same year that the all time record low temperature for February, a -26 degrees, was recorded.

Melted precipitation for the month was 1.47 inches, 0.59 inches below normal. This brings our seasonal total to 3.24 inches, 2.26 inches below normal. Measurable precipitation fell on only nine days with the greatest amount, 0.72 inches, falling on the 2nd.

Snowfall for the month was 23.4 inches, 6.5 inches below normal. This brings our seasonal total to 71.4 inches, 13.5 inches above normal. There has been very little melting of the snow that has fallen since the beginning of January. Here in Riparius we have 18 inches on the ground.

The river reached its highest level, 4.53 feet, on the 16th and its lowest level, 2.95 feet, on the 13th.

The river has frozen completely over here in Riparius for only the third or fourth time in the 40 years that we have lived here. It could be a very interesting iceout if it warms very quickly or rains a large amount before the ice has a chance to soften and break up. We remember the huge ice jam that came through here in 1981 that covered the roads South of the Glen with ice 10 or more feet high.

‘Splash Brothers’ of IL/LL Orange both reach 1-K milestone

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com LONG LAKE Ñ While the Ò Splash BrothersÓ of the NBA reside in Oakland, Calif., the Splash Brothers of Section VII hang their hats in Long Lake.

Henry Sandiford and Curtis Seaman, both seniors on the Indian Lake/Long Lake basketball team, started their hoops partnership in the basement of SeamanÕ s home, where the two would play hoops on the basket there until they were forced upstairs.

Those games and shoot-a rounds have brought the duo to a place few have ever been: the 1,000plus point mark. More amazingly, the two scoring maestros have accomplished the feet in the same season playing for the same team, the Indian Lake/Long Lake Orange. Ò We could not get them to eat dinner unless I shut the lights out in the basement,Ó Craig Seaman, CurtisÕ father and head coach of the Orange, said. Ò Curtis has always been a determined young man and at the beginning of the season he set the goal to get to 1,000 points for his career. He knew all the numbers and what he had to do to get there.Ó As if the pressure to reach the 1,000-point plateau was not enough, Seaman was asked to do it in the quarterfinal round of the Section VII/Class D playoffs, on the road, against fourth seed Westport.

“The goal was obviously to win the game first,” coach Seaman said. “Curtis wanted to get this out of the way quickly.”

Needing only four points, he did just that, scoring the first four points of the game, with both field goals coming on assists from Sandiford. Ò I wanted him to relax and play his game because we all knew he was going to get the points anyway,” Sandiford said. “My concentration was to get him his first two points right out of the box and let the game flow from there.” Ò I really wanted to get them before sectionals started,Ó Seaman said. Ò We were able to get it out of the way so we could focus on getting the win.Ó The Orange did win the game against Westport, 71-50, led by 30 points from Sandiford and 23 from Seaman. Ò This was a team effort tonight, we played well together and were solid as a team on defense,Ó Craig Seaman said. Ò Henry and Curtis have been very good at leading by example and setting good examples for their teammates.Ó For Sandiford, the 1,000-point moment came during another major night in the life of a varsity basketball player - senior night. Ò That was pretty awesome,Ó he said. Ò It is such a huge weight off your shoulders and then I could just focus on Curtis and making sure he joined me.Ó While the duo is known for their impressive numbers from behind the three-point line, both bring a unique style of play to compliment the team. Sandiford handles the point, distributing to the tune of 10 assists in the Class D quarterfinals, while Seaman helps on the interior, evidenced by 10 boards against the Eagles. Both play sound defensive basketball, as well. Ò We know each other well and what we like to do because we have been playing together since elementary school,Ó Sandiford said. Ò It has been a lot of fun being able to do it together and reach this mark with him, as well,Ó Seaman added.

Above right, Curtis Seaman sets for his milestone basket against Westport Feb. 28. Seaman joined teammate Henry Sandiford, below right, as 1,000-point scorers for their careers.

This time, Moriah has edge in Class D semifinals v. M/N

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ In the fall, the Minerva/Newcomb girls varsity soccer team prevented Moriah from making their second straight Class D final.

On March 3, the Lady Vikings made sure they would not miss out on a fifth straight sectional championship game, jumping out to a 10-point first quarter lead en route to a 57-23 victory. Ò The biggest difference was we limited Makenzie WinslowÕ s touches,Ó Viking coach Steve Pelkey said. “She had 16 points in the third quarter the last time we played them and that was the ballgame. Tonight, our guards did an excellent job keeping her off the ball.Ó Winslow, a 1,000-point scorer, was held to just two points along with one rebound and one steal.

On the offensive side of the ball, Madison Stahl paced the team with 19 points to go with 10 rebounds and four steals. Fellow seniors Lauren Cross and Caitlin Pelkey each added 11 points and seven rebounds, with Pelkey adding seven assists and three steals.

Halee Calabrese added six points, while Madison Olcott scored four. Shelby MacDougal, Sarah Snyder and Sierra Jacques each scored two points. Ò The young kids have come along well throughout the season,Ó Pelkey said.

“They were not with us the first time we played Minerva/Newcomb and after that game the seniors came to me and asked to bring them up. It has really helped us along.Ó Pelkey added the trio of seniors have never had a season without reaching a sectional final. Ò These seniors have a connection to this streak and they are passing it down to the younger players,Ó Pelkey said. Ò It is what you need to have a long streak like Westport had (13 straight sectional finals), and we are hoping to do that.”

During the streak, the Vikings are 3-1, winning two Class D titles and one Class C title.

For the Mountaineers, Astasia Myler led the team with eight points and six rebounds, being limited by foul trouble. Danielle McNally and Jordan Bush each added 6 points, with McNally grabbing five rebounds. Madison Miller scored one point while grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out three assists.

The Vikings will face Keene in the Section VII/Class D championship game, who won a 57-51 contest against Elizabethtown-Lewis in a game of streaky play.

Keene jumped out to an early 14-4 lead thank to a 9-0 run early in the first quarter.

The Lady Lions responded over the next six minutes with a 9-1 run and a 4-0 minirun to end the first half, cutting the Beavers lead to a razor-thin 21-20 at halftime.

Keene started the second half on an 8-2 run, increasing its lead throughout the second half to as much as 13 points, 53-42, with just over two minutes remaining.

The Lions attempted one last comeback bid with an 9-2 run to cut the lead to 5551, but an offensive rebound by KeeneÕ s Daria Venner (four rebounds total) led to the fifth an final foul on Jasmin Barnes of ELCS. The Beavers connected on two free throws in the final 30 seconds to seal the win.

Hanna Whitney paced the Beavers with 22 points to go with nine steals, six rebounds and five assists. Elaina Smith added 17 points, 10 rebounds, five steals and three assists; with Naomi Peduzzi adding 16 points, 18 rebounds (nine offensive), three assists and three steals. Elly Smith added two points, five rebounds and four steals. Taylor Geiger had three rebounds and two assists in an injury-shortened appearance.

For the Lions, Barnes finished her varsity career with a triple-double, combining 30 points with 16 rebounds, 11 steals and five assists. Emma Disogra scored 13 points to go with eight rebounds and five blocked shots. Myra Adams scored 6 points and grabbed six rebounds, while Tammara Wescott had two points along with seven rebounds and three steals.
