Common Core criticized at Schroon forum State officials hear complaints from parents, teachers, school leaders

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ The Common Core learning standards are not popular in the North Country.

About 300 people attended a forum on the education program with state officials in Schroon Lake Nov. 20, delivering a clear message Ñ they donÕ t like efforts to standardize learning across the country.

John King, state education commissioner, Merryl Tisch, state board of regents chancellor, state Sen. Betty Little and Assemblyman Dan Stec listened as 48 people criticized the Common Core, which was adopted by the state in 2010 and is now being implemented.

While everyone supported improved education, no one supported implementation of the Common Core.

The Common Core curriculum, which lays out what and how students should learn, has been adopted by 45 states at the urging of the federal government, which gives states Ò Race to the TopÓ money if

The Common Core, standardized testing and KingÕ s presentations have created controversy. Parent groups across New York have been critical of the new standards and the New York State Assessments, which were revised to align with the Common Core.

Low scores on the 2013 assessments raised concerns.

Volunteers sought for Red Kettle campaign Project helps poor in Ticonderoga area

By Fred Herbst

side the pot, he placed a sign that read, Ò Keep the Pot Boiling.Ó He soon had the money for his Christmas dinner.

Six years later, the kettle idea spread from the west coast to the Boston area. That year, the combined effort nationwide resulted in 150,000 Christmas dinners for the needy. In 1901, kettle

contributions in New York City provided funds for the first mammoth sit-down dinner in Madison Square Garden, a custom that continued for many years.

Today the Salvation Army assists more than 4.5 million people in the United States through the Red Kettle campaign.

The Adirondack Torch Club was visited by International President Charles Carlson, left, and Area One Director Dick Lynch, who presented Cathie Burdick with a silver Torch pin and the certificate for the Silver Torch Award. This award was voted at the International Torch Convention and is presented for outstanding contributions to the association at the local club level. Burdick has served as president of the local club and as the first female president of the Sandusky Torch Club which the Burdicks joined in Ohio. She has also held other offices and assisted Stan Burdick when he founded the local chapter 12 years ago.

TICONDEROGA Ñ Christmas is a time for giving, something Glen Buell knows about.

Buell is the Ticonderoga coordinator for the annual Salvation Army Red Kettle drive. He is lining up help for the traditional charity effort. Ò The Salvation Army is seeking volunteer bell ringers for its Red Kettle campaign in Ticonderoga,Ó Buell said. Ò The Red Kettles have become a tradition throughout the United States, raising money to assist the less fortunate. Volunteers are needed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting the week before Thanksgiving up until Christmas Eve. Companies, organizations, schools, and individuals can sign up as volunteers. Up to 90 percent of the money raised is available to help people in need in our local community.Ó People interested in volunteering for the Red Kettle campaign, or throughout the entire year, can call Buell at 597-3222. Ò If you have a friendly face, you donÕ t mind being out in the cold for an hour or two, and you would like to do something to benefit your community this holiday season, then consider

becoming a volunteer bell ringer for the Salvation Army,Ó Buell said.

Anyone who needs assistance can also call Buell.

In 2012 the Salvation Army reached a new record, collecting $148.7 million during the Red Kettle campaign. Ò There are times in American history when people unite around a common cause and work together to help their neighbor. 2012 was no different,Ó said Commissioner William Roberts, national commander of The Salvation Army.

“The Red Kettle campaign signifies a unified goal Ñ the public cares for people who have fallen on hard times. Every donation allows us to meet our mission.Ó The Red Kettle campaign traces its history to 1891. Salvation Army Capt. Joseph McFee was distraught because so many poor individuals in San Francisco were going hungry. During the holiday season, he resolved to provide a free Christmas dinner for the destitute and povertystricken. He only had one major hurdle to overcome Ñ funding the project.

As he pondered the issue, his thoughts drifted back to his sailor days in Liverpool, England.

He remembered how at Stage Landing, where the boats came in, there was a large, iron kettle called Ò SimpsonÕ s PotÓ into which passers-by tossed a coin or two to help the poor.

McFee placed a similar pot at the Oakland Ferry Landing at the foot of Market Street. Be-

Avoid ‘charity fatigue’ this season

A

fter several false starts winter is finally upon us, and as Thanksgiving gives way to the Christmas season, itÕ s also time for the annual Ò Season of Giving,Ó with all of the pitfalls and pleasures that go with it.

The Christmas season is an obvious time of year to think of those in need. ItÕ s a time of year when we give to those we love, so itÕ s natural to think of those who either have no one to care for them, or donÕ t have enough to give to the people they love. But there is a down-side to this time of giving.

The biggest is what weÕ ve heard called Ò charity burnout.Ó There are literally thousands of charities, and most are very worthy and do excellent work. ItÕ s not uncommon to go to a mall or shopping center and find a bell ringer at every door, tables set up inside the mall with other worthy charities requesting donations or selling wrist bands, paper angles or the like, cashiers at many stores inquiring if you would like to donate to another worthy cause. All this comes before ever turning on the television or logging onto the internet, or stopping by your place of worship, to be barraged with even more charity requests.

ItÕ s hard to believe that anyone can make it through the holiday season without suffering charity burnout. One suggestion is to decide now, before the charity season hits full swing, how much you want to and can afford to give to charity, and decide which charities you wish to fund. Pick the one, three, or even five, charities that mean the most to you, and whose mission you most appreciate, and those will be the ones you donate to. Set that amount aside in your purse or wallet, and when you come by a worthy charity on your list, if you have money left in your budget, donate. You will be able to keep tabs on how much you are donating, and will feel at least some semblance of control over the process.

If you feel like you are giving as much as you can afford to, you will likely not feel compelled to give to everyone. Another thing to keep in mind in this season is that not all giving needs to be monetary. If you have time on a weekend or in the evening, volunteer to ring the bell, cover a shift at the local food shelf or find some other way to volunteer. Look around your neighborhood; do you have elderly neighbors who need their walkway shoveled? This will cost you nothing, but will leave you and your neighbor both with the warm glow of the season in your hearts.

This is an especially good thing to teach your children. Then your spirit of charity might end up expanding to the next generation. If you donÕ t have the time, but do plan to give monetarily, look for those charities that will help your North Country neighbors. Try to keep your money local.

While there is nothing wrong with helping someone on the other side of the world, you will likely have a more immediate feeling of giving if you knit a pair of mittens or give a new coat or toy to a North Country child.

That charity might someday get paid forward, and this region of the world will keep on being the special place to live that it has always been.

There is also nothing wrong with asking a charity how much of your contribution will stay local, or even what percentage of your contribution will go to administration as opposed to going to the needy. With something like a coat or a toy, you know that 100 percent goes to those in need.

The final thing to keep in mind, is that many, if not most, charities have needs year-round. It’s amazingly generous to serve meals to the needy on Christmas, but people are just as hungry in June. Give some thought to pacing your giving, or volunteering, to charity all year round. Then you might feel a little bit better about tempering things between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and you might be able to avoid charity burnout. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Pantry director thankful To the Times of Ti:

The Ticonderoga Food Pantry volunteers wish to express sincere appreciation to the Knights of Columbus for their recent Ò Wing WarsÓ fund raiser.

It was a most successful event, and the funds raised will be used carefully to further our stated goal of providing nutritious food to those who visit our pantry.

We express our sincere thanks to all local restaurants who made the Ò Wing WarÓ event possible by donating their good wings. We thank Mr. (Grand Knight Mike) Edson for organizing this successful event on our behalf and thanks to all who attended the event as well.

A special thank you goes out to Mr. John Bartlett for a generous donation toward our work.

As a reminder, the pantry is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday 11 a.m. until noon to serve residents of Ticonderoga and Putnam.

M.H. Beuerlein, director Ticonderoga Food Pantry

Give thanks To the Times of Ti:

It seems we Americans have lost sight of what (Thanksgiving) is all about. Are we afraid to honor God our creator? As we gather around our table on Thanksgiving day with family and friends may we all be reminded that itÕ s not just about turkey, trimmings, football games, shopping or whatever. First and foremost it is about giving thanks to almighty God (today and everyday); that we Americans are the most fortunate people that live in the most blessed country on Earth. May God continue to bless the United States of America.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Dorothy Weber Port Henry

Give this season To the Times of Ti:

I represent the United Way Campaign Team for the Adirondack Region. United Way funds 40 different agencies in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. I co-lead one of these agencies: The

Champlain Valley Chapter of The Compassionate Friends. This is a self help bereavement support group for families who have had children, grandchildren or a sibling die. This is run by volunteers only. With the funds from United Way we can send out newsletters, run meetings, host a memorial walk and candle lighting ceremony, and also do other fun events for our members.

The United Way campaign is in full swing this holiday season and with everyone hustling around to make sure we check everyone off our holiday lists, I would like for you to consider giving a gift in honor or memory of a loved one to this yearÕ s United Way campaign. Holiday shopping is exhausting, so why not save some time and drop off a donation to the United Way office on the Tom Miller Road in Plattsburgh. There are always gifts to purchase for those hard to buy for people on our lists.

Why not give a gift that will keep on giving. One gift will help 40 partner agencies.

If you have already done your shopping for this season, think about other times of the year when you are invited to anniversary and birthday parties, retirement parties and you just donÕ t know what to get. A gift to the United Way will take the guessing out of what to get them. Imagine how proud the honoree would feel opening a card with a message inside saying where the gift went in their name. Times are challenging in our world today. Please help our neighbors and together we will reach our goal. Last year alone, our 40 partner agencies helped over 80,000 individuals collectively.

Sale to assist Ti’s 250th anniversary celebration Ti, St. Mary’s students selling historic calendars

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ As Ticonderoga residents look forward to the communityÕ s 250th anniversary, theyÕ re calling on history to help finance the celebration.

The First 250 Years Committee is selling 2014 historical calendars. Proceeds from the sale will help pay for the groupÕ s Ò signature eventÓ during the 2014 celebration.

That event will be July 19-27 and will include a historical re-enactment at Fort Ticonderoga, lectures, slide shows, a street dance, the presentation of the annual Ticonderoga High School alumni awards, a golf tournament and the annual Ti StreetFest.

The actual founding of Ticonderoga is traced to July 24, 1764, when a land grant was awarded to John Stoughton. To mark that day there will be a celebration in Bicentennial Park with children’s activities, food, a concert and fireworks. Ò Ticonderoga is celebrating the 250th anniversary of its settlement, its quarter millennial, in 2014,Ó said June Curtis of the First 250 Years Committee. Ò This is the second and last calendar created for the purpose of honoring, celebrating and remembering many of the people, places and things that have been instrumental in the growth of Ticonderoga. The calendar sub-committee sincerely hopes that residents and friends of Ticonderoga will enjoy this yearÕ s version of Ô Ticonderoga, Celebrating 250 YearsÕ .Ó The committee, co-sponsored by the Ticonderoga Historical Society and the Ti Heritage Museum, has produced the calendar that looks at a particular part of local history each month from January through December 2014.

January, for example, has photos and information on TiconderogaÕ s military service.

February highlights civic groups, March communications, April politics and government, May transportation, June transitions, July commemorations, August popular entertainment, September food, October sports and recreation,

November commerce and December legacies.

A schedule for the 2014 celebration is also included in the calendar.

The calendars, priced at $10 each, are on sale at the Hancock House, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, RathbunÕ s Jewelry and the Burleigh Luncheonette. Anyone wishing to buy a calendar can call Bob Dedrick at 585-7408.

Calendars are also available from Ticonderoga Middle School and St. MaryÕ s School students, who are selling them as a fund raising project to help support their annual whale watch trips. Students will get $2 for each calendar sold.

The money, while welcome, is not the reason students are participating, explained Ti Middle School teacher Kyle Lang. Ò ItÕ s really a community service project,Ó Lang said. Ò The money is great, but we want our students involved in the community. This is a wonderful opportunity to be part of an important celebration.Ó Teacher Lori Fox is leading the sale at St. MaryÕ s.

Students who sell the most calendars will be eligible for prizes. Walmart has donated a $100 gift certificate and Dunkin Donuts a $50 gift certificate that will be awarded. Ò The seventh graders are selling these as a fund raiser for their whale watch trips to Massachusetts,Ó Curtis said. Ò Purchasing a calendar from one of these students is a win-win situation, supporting this excellent educational endeavor as well as our committeeÕ s mission. We thank (Ti school superintendent) John McDonald, Jr., Kyle Lang, Lori Fox and the seventh grade classes and everyone in the community for participating.Ó The calendar was created by Sylvia Boyce, Steve Boyce, Chris Breiseth, Bill Dolback, Perry OÕ Neill, Rich Strum, Curtis and Dedrick. Ò For 2014, weÕ ve tried to capture more of the near history (1940-2000) of the town and have focused on groups, rather than individuals, who have influenced the development of our community,Ó Curtis said of the calendar. Ò Ticonderoga has been able to celebrate its first 250 years only because families, individuals, businesses and organizations have preserved their histories. We encourage the people of Ticond-

Ticonderoga Middle School students will again sell 2014 historic calendars to assist the town’s First 250 Years Committee. Pictured are students John Wright, Karyssa Alkinburgh, Hannah Riper and Jack Grinnell along with committee members June Curtis, Bill Dolback, Rich Strum and Bob Dedrick with teacher Kyle Lang. eroga to gather those photos, documents, and stories that will help and inspire future generations to celebrate the next 250 years. Ò Our second calendar, the 2014 calendar, is again stunning,Ó Curtis said. Ò This is a collec-

torÕ s item, a keepsake and an ideal holiday gift.

For the many of us who enjoy reliving memories of the town from the old days, turning the pages will be like walking down memory lane.Ó

Ti intersection to change

TICONDEROGA Ñ Motorists are advised that the intersection of Route 22 and Route 74/ Montcalm Street in Ticonderoga has been changed to a four-way stop.

Traffic traveling northbound and southbound on Route 22 currently encounters a flashing yellow warning signal at this intersection. The Department of Transportation has changed this to a flashing red signal and will also add stop signs to indicate that motorists must come to a full stop.

There will be no change for motorists heading eastbound and westbound on Montcalm Street and Route 74; those drivers already encounter full-stop signals.

The change from a two-way stop is expected to improve safety at this intersection by making all motorists stop and look for other vehicles before traveling through the intersection.

NYSDOT will install oversized Ò stopÓ and Ò stop aheadÓ signs on both the northbound and southbound approaches to this intersection.

Temporary electronic variable message signs have been installed alerting motorists of the coming new traffic conditions.

The siege of Boston, April 19, 1775 - March 17, 1776, was the opening phase of the American Revolutionary War in which New England militiamen, who later became part of the Continental Army, surrounded the town of Boston to prevent movement by the British Army garrisoned within. In November 1775, Washington sent a 25 year-old bookseller-turned-soldier, Henry Knox, to bring heavy artillery that had

been captured at Fort Ticonderoga to Boston.

In a technically complex and demanding operation, Knox began the Ò Noble TrainÓ in January 1776 and carried 60 tons of artillery through the dead of winter to Boston in just forty days.

In March 1776, these artillery pieces were used to fortify Dorchester Heights, overlooking Boston and its harbor and threatening the British naval supply lifeline. The British commander William Howe, realizing he could no longer

hold the town, chose to evacuate it. He withdrew the British forces, departing on March 17, for Halifax, Nova Scotia, thus giving Washington his first great victory of the war.

Fort Ticonderoga is the location of the first Knox Trail marker in the Knox cannon trail that traces the route of the noble train. The Fort Ticonderoga Museum owns two original artillery pieces that made the epic journey in the winter of 1776.

Fort Ti to celebrate ‘Noble Train’ with living history event TICONDEROGA Ñ Fort Ticonderoga will mark Henry KnoxÕ s Ò Noble TrainÓ of artillery with a living history event Saturday, Dec. 7, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event will feature a program highlighting KnoxÕ s arrival at Fort Ticonderoga and recreate the beginning of the feat that ultimately forced the British evacuation from Boston on March 17, 1776. Admission to the Ò The Noble Train BeginsÓ living history event is $10 a person and payable at the gate. Friends of Fort Ticonderoga and children 4 years and younger are free. For more details visit www.fortticonderoga.org Ò Guests will have the opportunity to meet Henry Knox, the unassuming Boston book seller, whose physical and mental might would be first tested with the ‘noble train’ of artillery,” said Stuart Lilie, Fort TiconderogaÕ s director of interpretation. Ò See man power and horse power in action as 59 cannon are carefully selected from Fort Ticonderoga. Watch as these vital arms and military stores are loaded up to be hauled down to the tenuous siege of Boston.

Meet the soldiers left behind to guard this frontier outpost, as the first winter of the Revolutionary War begins to take hold. Discover the mechanics of this epic feat Henry Knox would perform for the Continental Army.Ó Ò The Noble Train BeginsÓ living history event will feature interpretive staff working with horses as they move the artillery in place for the journey, cannon tours and cannon demonstrations. Historic trades programs will highlight the material needs and production of the new fledging American army. The event will also feature Rich Strum, author of Ò Henry Knox: WashingtonÕ s Artilleryman,Ó who will present an overview on Henry Knox. StrumÕ s presentation will take place at noon inside the

From page 1 civil. Speakers were required to register in advance and were limited to two minutes. State officials did not directly address any speaker.

Kyle Lang, a Ticonderoga English teacher, said the Common Core curriculum discourages reading. He pointed to the seventh grade English plan that calls for students to spend 10 weeks reading a book on the second Sudanese civil war. Ten weeks is too long to hold student interest, he said, especially in a topic they donÕ t care about. Without Common Core, he said, students could read several books in 10 weeks on a variety of topics. Ò I havenÕ t encountered anything in my 13 years (as a teacher) thatÕ s a greater deterrent to reading,Ó Lang said. Ò We shouldnÕ t be making education decisions in corporate offices.”

Common Core provides teachers with specific, daily lesson plans for students. King said those plans are optional and local schools can make their own plans.

Several teachers and school administrators challenged that assertion. While the lesson plans may be optional, the mandatory standardized tests in Common Core are based on the lesson plans. Not following the lesson plans could lead to poor scores on tests, which are used to evaluate students, teachers and schools.

Sarah Fink, a Minerva teacher and parent, questioned the financial wisdom in following the Common Core. Minerva Central School, she said, got $8,000 in Ò Race to the TopÓ money for Common Core, but lost $800,000 in state aid during the past four years. Ò The state must decide to adopt a budget that fully funds the initiatives for which it advocates so strongly,” she said. “Schools need sufficient time and resources to build the capacity that it will take to uphold the promise at the root of the Common Core. There needs to be a moratorium on high-stakes testing and accountability until the state agrees to restore the funding lost to the Gap Elimination Adjustment and correct the inadequacies in the state aid formula that only further disadvantage our rural Adirondack schools.Ó Many people objected to the “one size fits all” approach of Common Core.

Dan DÕ Agostino of Schroon Lake told state

officials he may take his children out of public school because of the Common Core. He said itÕ s wrong to expect every student to meet the same standards. Ò Success in life is determined by a personÕ s ability to better themselves,Ó he said, Ò not by a state mandate.Ó Others criticized the Common Core for its emphasis on math and reading.

Jane Claus of Schroon Lake believes the Common Core is shortsighted in its treatment of art, music and other subject areas. Ò The arts seem to be minimalized every time something new comes out,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s the arts that make us human.Ó The Common Core applies to all New York students, including special education students, several speakers pointed out. That means special needs students are taking the same standardized tests as high-achieving performers.

A Queensbury mother of a special education student was in tears as she described her daughter pulling out her own hair because of Ò test stress.Ó Ò These tests arenÕ t showing us what our kids know,Ó she said. Ò TheyÕ re telling us what they donÕ t know. They (students) feel like failures.Ó King later admitted changes need to be made to Common Core to accommodate special ed students. Ò WeÕ ve made some adjustments,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ ll continue to make adjustments.Ó King said the Common Core is needed because New York students arenÕ t well prepared for college and careers following high school.

He pointed to statistics showing New York in the middle of states in educational performance.

“The Common Core reflects the knowledge and skills our students need,Ó King said. Ò ItÕ s been developed with extensive research.

ThereÕ s a lot of evidence to support the use of Common Core.Ó Several people compared the Common Core to the federal Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. While the intention may be good, its implementation fails, they said. Ò The Common Core roll out has been dismissal,Ó Rick McClintock, a Ticonderoga math teacher, said. Ò Parents, teachers, school boards are questioning the Common Core. We need the state education department to restore our confidence in them.”

State officials listen to comments during a forum on the Common Cor education standards in Schroon Lake.

From left are Assemblyman Dan Stec, State Board of Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch, state Commissioner of Education John King and state Sen. Betty Little.

John Armstrong, Schroon Lake school board president, agreed. Ò There are some good ideas in the Common Core,Ó he said, Ò but the process is poorly done.Ó Paul Berry, Hadley-Luzerne school superintendent, suggested the Common Core implementation be delayed. Ò As you can see from the revolt, the roll out has been unsuccessful,Ó he said. Ò Educators agree with the mission, but give us more time.Ó A number of people asked why the public forums were being held three years after the state adopted the Common Core. Why wasnÕ t public input sought before making a decision, they wondered. Several charged the forums are simply attempts at improved public relations. Ò I truly hope you are listening,Ó Shawn Baker of Schroon Lake told state officials. “From your body language I donÕ t believe you give two hoots.Ó Each official promised they were listening and cared about the comments from speakers.

Vandal damages Schroon baseball field Police seeking information

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ Before Schroon Lake youth baseball players can take field next spring, they’ll have to repair it.

A vandal drove onto the Little League complex recently, destroying the outfield. The green grass is now a mess of tire tracks and mud.

The field is located at the Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club. Ò I donÕ t know why anyone would do this,Ó Don Sage, Fish & Game Club president, said. Ò They made a real mess of things. ItÕ s really unfortunate.Ó State police are investigating the incident, which occurred sometime during the first weekend of November.

Police have leads, Sage said. Based on the tire tracks, itÕ s believed a small pick up truck was used. Anyone with information on the crime is asked to call state police at 532-7691.

John Milson, a Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club director, said

a Boy Scout project is planned in the spring to rebuild fences and renovate dugouts at the baseball field. That project may have to be changed to repairing the outfield, he said.

The Schroon Lake Little League has played its games at the Fish & Game Club since the 1960s. While the club owns the land, it has a long-term agreement with league officials to allow its use. Ò They (Little League) have their own insurance and we allow them to play,” Sage said. “We’re pleased they use our field.”

This isn’t the first act of vandalism at the Fish & Game Club.

Besides damage to the building and grounds, there have been attempts to break into the club bar. Ò ThereÕ s no money in the building; we make certain of that,Ó Sage said. Ò I think people are trying to steal the booze (alcohol).Ó The most recent vandalism has prompted security discussions at the Fish & Game Club. Sage said the club is investigating an alarm system for the building and surveillance cameras for the grounds. Ò ItÕ s a major expense,Ó Sage said of security measures. Ò We hate to do it, but I think this is what itÕ s come down to.Ó

Moriah football season ends at hands of Chester

Austin Allen carried the ball eight times for 57 yards and one touchdown.

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com KINGSTON — Early on, the Class D East semifinal game looked to be a battle on the defensive side of the ball.

Both Chester and Moriah scored off of turnovers in the early stages of their Nov. 22 meeting at Dietz Stadium, knotting the score at 7-7.

However, it was the Chester offense that was able to find a flow with their passing game, scoring the next 41 points in beating the Vikings, 55-14. Ò We knew they could throw the ball,Ó Moriah head coach Don Tesar said after the game. Ò We do not have four guys that could stay with those speedy receivers.Ó Chester got on the board first when Justin Feldman picked off Cole Gaddor, setting up a 29 yard touchdown pass from Vincent Ajoi to Lawrence Young. In all, Ajoi finished with a state recordtying seven touchdown throws.

On the next Chester drive, Ajoi made his lone mistake of the night, throwing a ball that was picked by Jarrod MacDougal and

Ticonderoga girls third

returned to the Chester 24 yard line. On the very next play, Gaddor found Rainier Garnica on a fade route to tie the score at 7-7. Ò They had everyone up in the box,Ó Tesar said. Ò They bit on our play action and Cole was able to get the ball to Rainier.Ó Chester then scored on two of their next three possessions, exchanging turnovers with the Vikings in between. In all, Chester gained 210 yards compared to just 37 for Moriah in the first half, not including the three pass interference penalties in favor of the Vikings for a total of 45 yards.

The air was the only place Moriah could get any production as they were stifled to -16 yards rushing in the opening 24 minutes. Ò They did an excellent job stopping the run,Ó Tesar said. Ò They controlled the line of scrimmage in the first half and they made all of the big plays. We were able to make some adjustments and move the ball more in the second half.Ó One adjustment was the entrance of Austin Allen into the game. The senior ran the ball eight times for 57 yards and the teamÕ s lone score of the second half. The rest of the team combined for nine yards on 24 carries, with Skyler Graham running five times for 18 yards and C.J. Raymond 13 times for eight yards. Ò He is someone who worked hard every day in practice,Ó

Photo by Nancy Frasier

Tesar said. Ò Today he got the chance to get out there and get us some yardage.Ó Gaddor finished 6-of-17 for 78 yards to go with one touchdown and a trio of picks. Garnica was the prime recipient for the senior quarterback, catching a pair of passes for 39 yards. Tyler Pratt caught two balls for 15 yards, while Graham had one catch for 20 yards and MacDougal one for four yards.

Tesar said he was proud of the accomplishments of the team in making it one step away from the Carrier Dome and the state championships. Ò The kids played great,Ó he said. Ò We have nothing to be ashamed of and we are proud that we were able to be one of the final four teams in the state.”

Hunting the far side

R

ecently, while driving through the Wilmington Notch, I noticed a couple of guys wading across the Trophy Trout section of the West Branch of the Ausable River.

It seemed unusual to anyone on the river without a flyrod in hand, especially when considering that stretch of river remains open to fishing all year round.

I got a closer look as they reached the far bank and I realized they were carrying rifles.

Obviously, the hunters were headed off to hunt the other side of the river, which surprisingly is not so commonly practiced in a region laced with with a multitude of lake, rivers, streams and ponds.

They were wading over to the far side of the river to hunt their own deer, to where most others donÕ t bother to go. ItÕ s likely they enjoyed a wide swath of territory that is lightly hunted and the deer arenÕ t pressured.

The advantages are significant. With fewer hunters there is less pressure, and deer are likely to be less wary.

I know many hunters who use boats or canoes to access their hunting camps. It is a traditional component of the Adirondack culture, where guideboats and canoes have long provided lightweight, portable transportation, primarily on the lakes and ponds.

It makes it a whole lot easier to haul in camp supplies, and to haul out game, both of which travel more efficiently in the bottom of a boat than on on your shoulders.

ItÕ s also easier to transport a 200-pound deer in the bottom of a boat, than it is to drag it for miles.

One the primary benefits of hunting areas that are boat access only is the distinct lack of competition. Locating such a place can be pretty simple, and it can usually be accomplished while enjoying a bit of spring trout fishing.

The possibilities for finding a place all to yourself are seemingly endless. While there are many camps located along major rivers such as the Hudson, the Schroon, the Grasse and the Raquette; there are still thousands of miles of lesser rivers and streams that are rarely prospected by hunters.

Over the years, I’ve floated the Boquet River during the hunt-

ing season several times, and though I saw deer, I never had the opportunity to take a shot.

River corridors also create convection currents, which helps dissipate human scent. As water flows downstream, air currents flow upstream which makes it easier to fool a deer’s nose.

Sandy riverbanks also capture evidence of tracks, stream crossings and runways, which provide hunters with a potential location for a stand.

Yet, the most distinct advantage is likly the lack of competition. Fewer hunters means less pressure. Deer are likely to be less wary, and the chances of encountering other hunters is diminished if you travel over to the Ò Far Side.Ó

Archery in schools program hits bullseye Recently, the the International Bowhunting Organization (IBO) and the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) announced the two organizations would be launching a Ò NASP IBO 3D ChallengeÓ at next yearÕ s NASP Nationals.

The wildly, successful program recently established a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of archers in a single location at last years at the National Archery in the Schools National Championships..

For archery enthusiasts, the opportunity for youth to participate in IBO 3D competitions will allow to more kids to get involved in the sport of the archery.

For several years there has been growing interest among the NASP leadership and the IBO to provide students with a 3D venue for national competitions.

Recently, the International Bowhunting Organization (IBO) and the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP¨ ) announced they will launch the Ò NASP¨ IBO 3D ChallengeÓ at next yearÕ s NASP¨ National Tournament which draws over 10,000 young archers to participate in the annual event.

While the bullseye tournaments have proven popular, the 3D Tournaments are wildly entertaining, as participants target full size, foam animal replicas (3D targets).

According to NASP National Director Roy Grimes, Ò NASP¨ has no intention of modifying its wildly successful bullÕ s eye tournament competitions.Ó The bullseye format is currently practiced in more than 12,000 NASP¨ schools across 10 countries by nearly 2.5 million students per year.

However, the IBO 3D competitions are considered a more entertaining venue as archers take aim at full size replicas of bear, deer, coyote and other game animals.

According to Grimes, Ò In every survey conducted among NASP¨ students over the past 12 years, kids tell us they just want to have as much fun as possible in archery,Ó says Grimes.

Ò They report that shooting arrows is the most fun but practicing and competing with their new archery friends is also important. A majority of students (56 percent) also advise they want to know more about bowhunting.

An online survey of students involved in the National Archery in the Schools Program conducted by the Easton Foundations in 2012 indicated nearly nine of ten participants enjoy the program and almost half have their own bows.

- Of the 1236 survey participants, 46 percent (569) presently own archery equipment, with 44 percent (198) indicating they purchased the equipment prior to taking part in NASP and 56 percent (251) saying they purchased bows after beginning NASP. - A total of 18 percent (200) of those completing the survey indicated they have purchased a hunting license.

- Given a choice, a total of 88 percent of those surveyed said the either Ò likedÓ or Ò lovedÓ shooting archery in NASP. - Further, one-quarter (25 percent) of those surveyed said they have visited a local archery club in addition to taking part in NASP at school, and 97 percent of those who have visited a club or archery range have returned.

And now, with the expansion of NASP competition into 3D targets, watch for those numbers to keep on growing well into the future. Growing, just like archeryÕ s bottom line.
