TICONDEROGA Ñ A proposed North Country Community College technical center in Ticonderoga has cleared its first hurdle toward becoming reality.

The state has agreed to fund a feasibility study on the plan to expand the collegeÕ s Ti campus to the former LoweÕ s building on Wicker Street. That building would become an applied technology center. Ò I am pleased to share with you the news that our CFA (consolidated funding application) proposal for the feasibility study to investigate a multi-college/ incubator facility in Ticonderoga was an approved project and funded by the state today,Ó Dr. Steve Tyrell, NCCC president, said Dec. 11. Ò We have to move forward with an RFP (request for proposal) proposal to hire a firm to conduct the feasibility study.Ó If the project becomes reality, NCCC will expand its degree programs in Ticonderoga. Specific curriculum have not yet been identified, but Tyrell expects an emphasis on green technology.

NCCC has asked other colleges, both two- and four-year institutions, to participate in the Ti program.

The Ticonderoga program would be based on a similar program at SUNY-Alfred, where Tyrell worked before coming

Oceanographer visits with Ticonderoga students TED presenter David Gallo shares his work

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ David Gallo has been to great depths, literally and figuratively.

Gallo was a poor student who struggled with Attention Deficit Disorder. Today he’s a worldrenown oceanographer who has explored the Titanic.

He shared his experiences with Ticonderoga Middle School students recently through a video conference. Ò I could show you my report cards,Ó Gallo said. Ò I was not a very good student. I really struggled with ADD. I just wanted to crawl into a ball and hoped no one would bother me. I realize now thatÕ s the worst thing you can do.Ó Gallo eventually found his way to Schenectady Community College, where he learned two important lessons. Ò I learned I had to work harder than everyone else,Ó he said. Ò I took a lot of notes and I would study three hours for every 40 minutes in class. I realized thatÕ s what I had to do to get from here to there. I donÕ t care where you go to college. College is what you make of it. Ò I also learned itÕ s OK to ask for help,Ó he said. Ò There are amazing people all around us who want to help. Just ask them.Ó Gallo went on to earn his doctorate degree and now works at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, the world’s largest private, non-profit oceanographic research institution. ItÕ s a global leader in the study and exploration of the ocean.

The worldÕ s oceans are amazing, Gallo told students. Ò Today weÕ ve only explored about 3 percent of whatÕ s out there in the ocean,Ó he said. Ò Already weÕ ve found the worldÕ s highest mountains, the worldÕ s deepest valleys, underwater lakes, underwater waterfalls. ThereÕ s still 97 percent, and either that 97 percent is empty or just full of surprises.Ó Gallo has participated in expeditions to all of the world’s oceans and was one of the first

scientists to use a combination of robots and submarines to explore the deep sea floor. He co-led an expedition to create the first detailed and comprehensive map of the Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck. He co-led the successful international effort to locate the wreckage of Air France Flight 447 that crashed in the Atlantic Ocean in 2009.

The scientist shared his experiences with students. Ò The Titanic can be kinda of creepy, but really cool,Ó he said. Ò You open the door to one room and its nothing but mud and rust. The next room might be perfectly intact. IÕ ve seen rooms on the Titanic with sheets and pillows on the bed, clothes still hanging on the coat hack, with items sitting on the dresser like nothing ever happened.Ó He also discussed underwater lakes, ocean life, currents, global warming and more. Ò Every time you say something canÕ t live there, thereÕ s life,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s amazing how life thrives. There are amazing creatures in the oceans.Ó Gallo admitted to students he loves to play video games. Ò I do play; I love to play,Ó he said. Ò But the stuff going on in science is a lot more exciting than video games. In a video game someone knows every answer. When youÕ re in the ocean you never know whatÕ s coming. YouÕ re discovering new things every day.Ó Gallo has gained recognition for appearing on many television news programs and documentaries. He is also a TED presenter.

TED is a nonprofit group devoted to “Ideas Worth Spreading.Ó It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from the worlds of technology, entertainment and design. Along with two annual conferences, TED includes the a TED Talks video site. The videos challenge leaders in their fields to “give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less.Ó With more than 8 million views GalloÕ s TED presentation Ò Underwater AstonishmentsÓ is among the top five TED Talks viewed to date.

It can be seen online at http://www.ted.com/ talks/david_gallo_shows_underwater_astonishments.html.

Gallo mingles with people like Bill Gates,

Oceanographer David Gallo shared his experiences with Ticonderoga Middle School students recently through a video conference.

Brad Pitt, Angeline Jolie and other celebrities at the TED conferences. Ò These are people who have changed the world; theyÕ re billionaires and movie stars,Ó Gallo said. Ò YouÕ re not going to out-do these people. I just try to be myself. It turns out everyone respects each other.Ó GalloÕ s video conference was arranged by Frank Shaw, a science teacher at Ti Middle School. A navy submarine veteran, Shaw has known Gallo for more than 25 years. Ò When I was in the Navy I worked with some specialized equipment that was used in a couple of scientific studies,” Shaw said. “I actually

went out to sea with Bob Ballard (who led the expedition that found the Titanic wreckage) a few times and met David. HeÕ s a great guy and loves talking to the students.Ó Shaw believes Gallo has a great message for students. Ò Before we can get kids into STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) programs, they have to believe they can do it,Ó Shaw said. Ò DavidÕ s message is that they can do it. He overcame ADD, went to a community college and learned to love science. Our kids can do this, too.Ó

Christmas Wish From page 1 happy and not sick,” Makayla Huestis, a Ti fifth grader, said.

Alexander Smith, a first grade student at Putnam, hopes his grandfather can visit for Christmas.

Julia Cutting, a Crown Point Central School fourth grade students, also wants to see her grandfather. Ò I want to go see my grandfather in Rochester,Ó she said. Ò I miss him and love him. ThatÕ s what I want for Christmas.Ó Riley Guay wants a family vacation. Ò My Christmas wish is to go on a big trip with my family,” the Putnam fifth grader said. Ò I would like to go to Maine for one week with my family. I want to go over Christmas break. It would be really nice to actually go somewhere and do something memorable with my family.

Every time we have gone to Maine it was during the winter. That is when my mom likes to go to Maine. I love going to Maine because we go to the ocean. I find shells everywhere. They are big and about seven or eight inches long. I also want to go to the beach and take some pictures of my family. I would go home and cherish the pictures; I would hang them on my wall.Ó Rich Bessey, a junior at Schroon Lake Central School, has a simple wish. Ò I wish my parents and family are healthy

www.timesofti.com and happy,Ó he said.

Brady Olcott and Cassie Provoncha also have family Christmas wishes. Ò My Christmas wish this year is for everybody to have the best Christmas ever because I want every body to be happy,Ó Olcott, a Moriah Central School third grade student, said. Ò I like to bring smiles and laughter. I donÕ t want to see fighting. I want to see families together. Don’t cry over the toy you really wanted, be grateful for what else you got. Spending time with your family isnÕ t that bad. If you believe me, then you will find out on Christmas morning that it is fun spending time with your family. I hope everybody has the best Christmas ever. Merry Christmas.Ó Ò My Christmas wish is my family together because itÕ s nice,Ó said Provoncha, another Moriah third grader. Ò Having my family together is nice because every Christmas we get together to celebrate Christmas wishes. Then my family and I go eat dinner. We love celebrating Christmas. The other thing I like doing with my family is singing Christmas songs. We love each other. And itÕ s good spending time with each other. Would you imagine having a Christmas without wishes?Ó Grant Goldberg, a first grade student at Mountainside, has a wish for his father. Ò My Christmas wish is that dad would get a deer, his first deer,” he said.

Others are keeping American service personnel in their thoughts at Christmas.

“My Christmas wish is to have all fighting soldiers to come home safely to their families,Ó said Madison Fish, a Ti fifth grader. “My cousin Derek Ross is in the Air Force and has a son and wife. I am sure they want him home.Ó Noah Bogart, also a Ti fifth grade student, agreed. Ò My Christmas wish is for soldiers to able to see their family for Christmas,Ó he said.

Johnny Reale, a sixth grade student at St. MaryÕ s School in Ticonderoga, wants service men and women to know Americans care about them. Ò I want our soldiers to be safe and know that our country loves and supports them this Christmas and I pray for them to come home soon,Ó he said.

Morgan Thatcher, a junior at Schroon Lake, has a holiday wish for the poor. Ò I wish there was a less poverty stricken community in the U.S.,Ó Thatcher said.

Corey Lender, a fifth grader at St. Mary’s, agrees.

“I wish that the world can find a solution for the hunger problem and that no child will go hungry this Christmas,Ó Lender said.

Emilee Nolan, a third grader at Moriah, shares that thought. Ò My Christmas wish is for all the homeless people to get gifts on Christmas,Ó she said. Ò I wish that because the homeless people donÕ t get gifts. I also wish this because kids are supposed to have fun on Christmas, but the homeless donÕ t. I also wish this because I want kids to have fun on Christmas. Another reason is a lot of kids that are homeless cry on Christmas.

That is my wish.Ó Ò My Christmas wish is that I would like to see people who are hungry and starving to have food and water,” said Anna Maisonville, a fifth grade student at Mountainside. Ò And that they would believe in God.Ó Caleb Pike, a seventh grade student at St. MaryÕ s, will be thinking about the victims of disaster this Christmas, especially those in the Philippines. Ò I hope that the people of the Philippines can continue to rebuild and find peace and comfort during this Christmas season,Ó he said.

Several students are hoping for a white Christmas. Ò My Christmas wish to get snow,Ó said David Bechard, a Putnam sixth grader. Ò I hope we get snow for Christmas because I donÕ t want a green Christmas. It is not the same without snow. To some people who donÕ t get presents on Christmas morning waking up to find snow could be their present. That is my Christmas wish for this year and the next few years.Ó Brock Huestis, a Ticonderoga fifth grade student agrees. Ò For Christmas I want snow,Ó he said. Ò We

December 21, 2013 have not had much snow the last few years. It would be nice to play outside in the snow.Ó Snow is also on the mind of Luke Rider, a Mountainside eighth grade student. Ò Honestly I would really like some good, soft white snow,Ó he said. Ò Not to be cliche, but I truly havenÕ t had a really good snow for a few years. I canÕ t really think of anything else IÕ d want much more than that.Ó Alec Young, a Moriah third grade student, would like to see an end to bullying this holiday season. Ò My Christmas wish is for all bullying to stop forever,” he said. “The first reason is so that people donÕ t get their feelings hurt. And second is so it doesnÕ t spread. The third is so there is less people crying in the world. The fourth reason is so that there are more believers. And last, less people getting hurt. Could you imagine what the world would be like without bullying?Ó Some gift ideas are a bit unconventional Ñ like duct tape. Ò For Christmas, I want duct tape,Ó Mollie Hayes, a Crown Point fourth grader, said. Ò I like to make flowers, bows and wallets. I also want flowers, so I can plant them and watch them grow.Ó Holden Palmer, a Crown Point fourth grader, wants to hunt with his father. Ò For Christmas, I want my lifetime hunting license, so I can go hunting with my dad,Ó he said.

Of course, traditional presents are still a popular Christmas wish. Ò I want a toy train and a new truck for daddy,Ó said Madelyn Drinkwine, a kindergarten student at Putnam.

Reid Watrous, a Putnam pre-K student, wants a four-wheeler for his mother so they can ride together.

Lizzy Wojewodzic, a third grader at Putnam, wants a dog. Ò This Christmas my wish is to get another dog at my dadÕ s house,Ó she said. Ò I want to name him Buster because my old dog use to be named Buster. We had to get rid of him. He went to the bathroom on our white carpet when we were gone. I hope my wish comes true this Christmas.Ó Moriah Paris, a Mountainside fourth grader, has a big wish. Ò I have always wanted a pony,Ó she said. Ò I donÕ t have enough room at my house. When I grow up I want to go to Africa. I will ride through the town telling people about Jesus.Ó Some older students were a bit more practical.

Alex Shaughnessy, a junior at Schroon Lake, just wants cash — $1 million to be specific. Sam Foote, a Schroon Lake senior, is thinking ahead.

He wants to get accepted to medical school in another four years.

Kaylin Barnaby enjoys her meal at the annual Putnam Community Thanksgiving dinner held at Putnam Central School. For Christmas she’s hoping for the birth of a new baby brother or sister.

Times of Ti Editorial

A new air of cooperation I

t was always about striking a balance Ñ and to the credit of Adirondack Park Agency Commissioners, that is exactly what the new land-use plan put forth for the Essex Chain of Lakes does.

The new land classification adopted for the Essex Chain of Lakes Ñ known as Ò preferred alternative 2A” — classifies eight water bodies in the Essex Chain tract as primitive, allowing for motorless paddling. First and Pine lakes will remain open to floatplanes and access points will be strategically located in Wild Forest, to ensure easy access to all.

Some of the most wild sections of the former Finch Pruyn lands Ñ the Hudson River Gorge and OK Slip Falls Ñ will be forever protected under a Wilderness classification.

Perhaps more importantly for local communities, the plan calls for a narrow strip of Wild Forest through the corridor Ñ following and utilizing existing roads and infrastructure Ñ that will provide a critical link for recreational opportunities like mountain biking and snowmobiling between Essex and Hamilton counties.

It will also allow access to the Wilderness corridor for those who would otherwise only be able to stare at it on a map, and gives at least some conciliation to hunting and fishing leaseholders who have or will lose access.

Many officials, residents and business owners in the five towns bordering the tract have said that opening it to as many recreational users as possible is key to drawing people and jump starting local economies.

Business owners like Ruth and Dave Olbert of Cloud-Splitter Outfitters in Newcomb have said they would like to expand, but need a classification that would attract people to town before making the investment.

It now appears those pleas did not fall on deaf ears.

To be honest, we were skeptical that the voices of Adirondack Park officials and residents wouldnÕ t once again be droned out by the wishes of downstaters and environmental groups.

It seems Adirondackers have long taken the back seat when it comes to land use regulations here, even though we truly have the most to gain or lose. Over and over again political persuasion has been won over by the huge voting contingent outside the Blue Line and the deeppocketed members of green groups Ñ many of whom also do not reside here full-time.

Few can argue that it has torpedoed the regionÕ s economy Ñ and census statistics showing a dwindling population here support that.

It is what created the Ò us versus themÓ mentality Ñ and radical factions on both sides of

the isle raised their ugly heads.

But alas, it seems there is a new sense of cooperation in the air. It seems we have a governor who truly cares about the livelihood of Adirondackers; APA commissioners who are willing to balance environmental stewardship with economic viability and local environmental groups that are agreeing to compromise.

Following an extensive public comment period and while the APA was struggling with classifying the more than 22,000 acres of former Finch Pruyn land purchased by the Nature Conservancy and then sold to the state, Gov. Cuomo visited with various stakeholders in late September of this year. At that time, green groups were calling for a Wilderness classification for nearly all of the Essex Chain of Lakes.

In turn, local officials and residents in the five towns impacted by the sale and classification Ñ North Hudson, Indian Lake, Newcomb, Minerva and Long Lake Ñ were calling for a less restrictive Wild Forest designation.

After meeting with both sides, Cuomo held a press conference at Gore Mountain in North Creek and also called for balance. Ò We need to preserve the Park. We also need economic development. We need activity. We need revenues. And you have to balance the two,Ó he told the crowd and government leaders who had assembled that day.

That balance turned out to be preferred alternative 2A Ñ and the stars started to align.

Both the Adirondack Council and Adirondack Mountain Club came out in favor of preferred alternative 2A, as did Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman William Farber and Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas before it was unanimously approved by APA commissioners Dec. 13.

Some of the most radical warring factions we spoke of earlier opted to dig their feet in the sand and bemoan the fact that they werenÕ t getting everything they were after, but for the most part those around the negotiating table each walked away with at least a small win.

ItÕ s called compromise Ñ and isnÕ t that what successful negotiating is all about?

Prior to the APA commissionerÕ s vote, Farber and Douglas said the land classification is “exciting and historicÓ and will Ò set the stage for a much brighter future for our communities.Ó We couldnÕ t agree more, but perhaps even more exciting is the concept of a future where entities like green groups, local officials, Adirondackers and state leaders can work together to achieve compromise.

Now thatÕ s historic. Ñ

Cell phone donations sought

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union will hold its fifth annual cell phone drive this January and February.

Cell phones donated at TFCU branches will be given to the STOP Domestic Violence Center in Essex County where they will be turned into Emergency 911 phones for domestic violence survivors. Several hundred phones have been collected through TFCUÕ s previous drives. Ò WeÕ re honored to support this important cause in our community,Ó said Shawn Hayes, TFCU president and CEO. Ò By donating your old cell phone in this way youÕ re not only recycling, you may also be providing a vital lifeline to someone in need.Ó To participate, people can bring old cell phones, chargers and accessories in any condition from any provider and drop them in the collection bins at any of the credit unionÕ s three branch locations located in Ticonderoga, Port Henry and Elizabethtown during regular business hours.

Before donating people should be certain they have terminated their service contract or replaced their device, erased all data on the phone including contacts, texts, photos and removed the SIM card (if it has one). Tips for deleting a cell phoneÕ s data can be found at the credit unionÕ s website; www.tfcunow.com in the FAQ section. People may also refer to their userÕ s manual or contact your service provider or phone manufacturer for data removal instructions.

The staff at the STOP Domestic Violence Center will take steps to remove data from the phones prior to redistribution, however have it done before donating will help expedite the process and ensure that the phone’s data has been cleared. Any superfluous phones the center cannot use will be recycled, with the proceeds from recycling also benefiting the center.

Ticonderoga From page 1 to NCCC. The Alfred program offers collegelevel carpentry, masonry, electrician and other construction trade training. It also integrates energy conservation, alternative energy use and sustainable building design education and training into its academic programs, focusing on green building technologies in New York State. Ò The vacant LoweÕ s facility has been on the minds of people in Ticonderoga,Ó Tyrell said when he introduced the proposal last summer. Ò IÕ ve been thinking about ways to ease the middle skills gap in the Adirondacks. I thought this might be a win-win for the college and the community.Ó Middle skills are those requiring more than a high school degree, but not a four-year degree.

Jim Major, chairman of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance board of directors, said the education center could bring students to Ticonderoga to study carpentry, plumbing, electrical

trades, engineering, auto body work, diesel mechanics, marine technology and more.

Tyrell said the proposed applied technology center could serve up to 450 students and could open in the fall of 2016. It will have no impact on the existing Ticonderoga campus or its programs, Tyrell said.

Major said the additional students could generate $1.5 million in business for Ticonderoga. Ò Besides its offering hands-on education and the potential of good paying jobs to our youth, it will also offer millions of dollars of food and retail purchases to the benefit of Ti’s business owners,Ó he said.

That’s good, but officials believe the greatest economic impact could be from spin-off industry.

Tyrell said the START-UP NY program could lead to businesses locating in Ticonderoga. That state program gives tax breaks to businesses aligned with the academic mission of a college campus, college or university.

Participating companies in START-UP NY will not pay any taxes for 10 years. Employees in participating companies will pay no income

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ A proposed land swap between Essex County and the town of North Hudson has been put on the back burner.

The idea to forgive $16,933.01 in back property taxes and turn a portion of the former Frontier Town land to North Hudson was first presented in committee meetings Nov. 18, with discussion continuing during the Nov. 25 Ways and Means Committee meeting.

However, the discussions were tabled after supervisors questioned if the county should do this without investing more time into finding out what they would be giving away. Ò Has anyone inspected the wood lot? Is there any reason that we could not look at it?Ó North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said. Ò You might have $50,000 to $60,000 worth of timber. It probably does not, but it might. It just seems like weÕ re voting on something and nobody knows the facts. I donÕ t know what is out there.Ó North Hudson Supervisor Ronald Moore said timber was part of the reason the town was asking for the property. Ò It was logged 15-20 years ago and there are existing skid rows on it,Ó Moore said. Ò We want to use this land to extend our trail system and supply a long term timber system for our use in the highway garage.Ó Ò I am not against giving this to North Hudson, but I would like to know what each of these properties are about and then make an educated decision about this property,Ó Politi added. Ò My concern is the precedent that I think we are setting,Ó Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston said. Ò If everyone in here did this, then we would be putting ourself into a bad position as the county. On behalf of the county, I think that is an awfully dangerous road that we are going down.Ó Ò There have been instances of unique situation where the county has transferred properties,Ó Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said. Ò It is not like this has never happened before, it has, just not very often.Ó The county plans to hold a tax sale, which would include the property sought by North Hudson, at the end of April. Ò It has only been about two weeks that we have been discussing this and the tax sale is in April,Ó Politi said. Ò We have time. It seems to me we could look at this in five minutes and know what is there. If we decide to give this to the town of North Hudson, I am sure that they will still want to take it in three months.Ó Canon offered the motion to table the discussion until more was known about the land, and Moore supported the table.

Lyme disease warning issued

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The Essex County Department of Public Health has issued a warning on lyme disease. Ò The close of 2013 has provided us with relatively warm weather conditions that support extended activity of ticks and potential human exposure to lyme disease,Ó said Essex County Public Health Director, Linda Beers.

The Essex County Public Health Communicable Disease program conducts surveillance of lyme; provides outreach about increased activity, reporting and testing recommendations; and community education and prevention outreach. Ò Because of the weather conditions this fall and extended season of risk for the transmission of lyme disease, it is important people continue to be aware of risk and how best to protect themselves,Ó said Beers.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends conducting a full body check after being outdoors. Parents should check their children for ticks behind knees and between legs, inside the belly button, under arms, behind the knees, around the ears and, especially, in hair.

Ticks must typically be attached for longer than 36 hours to transmit the bacteria-causing Lyme Disease to people.

If an attached tick is found, remove it by grasping firmly and as close to the skin as possible with tweezers and pulling straight up. Wash the bite site with warm soap and water or rubbing alcohol to clean it. Contact a health care provider if a rash develops or if the tick may have been attached for longer than 36 hours.

Typical symptoms of lyme disease include headache, fatigue, fever and a bulls-eye rash. Left undiagnosed or untreated those infected may also experience joint, heart and nervous system symptoms.

For more information about tick protection visit www.co.essex.ny.us/PublicHealth or call a public health nurse at 873-3500.

Until Dec. 31, every dollar we receive up to $13,000 will be DOUBLED! ThatÕ s $26,000 to provide extra care and comfort to the dogs and cats at the North Country SPCA. Thanks to your continued support, 2013 was a tremendous year for the NCSPCA.

The NCSPCA is a no-kill shelter that receives no support from the national ASPCA or New York state, relying on the incredible generosity of friends like you to ensure that we are here for the animals in our communities.

But to reach our goal, we must receive $13,000 before the Dec. 31 deadline! Please be generous - your gift today will ensure that 2014 is an even better year for the animals in Essex County and beyond.

The deep freeze

Winter feeding deer, do it right and legal!

H

unting season is nearly over and Whitetail Deer populations have been reduced to DEC biologistÕ s standards, meeting habitat and carrying capacities in wildlife management units. Hunting is just one of the necessary components of wildlife management.

With winter setting in

By Rich Redman early this year, habitat is critical for the remaining wildlife. Shelter is important to protect animals from the elements, but more importantly FOOD becomes the primary concern. Just like a wood stove needs to be fed wood to produce heat, an animal or human needs carbohydrates to produce enough energy to make it through a cold night, let alone a long winter. Long, cold, windy winters, take a toll on wildlife. Starvation is no way of living!

Spring, summer and fall foods are easy to get and plentiful. The winter foods are critical for wildlife to make it through to another year. So with the winter winds starting to blow, the thermometer dropping to zero and snow levels starting to climb, what can we do to help our wildlife survive this winter? Think WINTER food!

So how do you supply quality winter food?

Many folks will say you canÕ t feed deer in the winter, itÕ s against the law. Yes, you are right; you canÕ t bring in bags of corn, grain, carrots or apples to supplement natural food sources. But you can grow winter feed and leave it for wildlife!

If you hunt on farmland, work with the farm owner. Buy them some bags of corn or other crop seeds to plant in field corners or wet spots so they can leave the un-harvested crops for wildlife. Deer will paw through the snow for corn, turnips, pumpkins, and other crops left after harvest. Help the farm owner seed cover crops, ditches and woods roads with a quick rye cover to provide some winter food. Farmers feed all of us, so we need to help them feed wildlife!

Growing and leaving un-harvested winter food is not illegal, but bringing in supplemental feed like corn, apples and sweet feed grain mixes are.

New York State DEC Environmental Law reads as follows; Part 189 of Title 6 of the Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York was last amended on July 28, 2010.

Part of this rule restricts the feeding of deer and moose.

In New York, it is illegal to feed deer and moose by putting out any material that attracts them to feed.

There are five exceptions to the rule: 1. Agricultural crops including wildlife food plots.

2. Distribution of food to livestock.

3. Distribution of food to captive deer and elk.

4. Cutting of trees and brush.

5. Scientific research, wildlife damage abatement, and wildlife population reduction programs, but only under a permit issued by DEC. Chronic Wasting Disease is the big culprit that fueled the no deer feeding law.

The following is taken directly from the NYS DEC website, Ò Concerns for the possible introduction and spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) have resulted in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation enacting regulations to restrict the feeding of deer. The regulations as described by 6NYCRR Part 189 prohibit many of the traditional deer feeding practices that occur in parts of NY. The use of commercial foods which are enhanced by animal protein additives that may or could contain CWD infectious agents are a concern. These products are banned for feeding all ruminants, including deer, cattle, sheep and goats. Additionally, any feeding practices which may result in deer confined to feeding sites increases the likelihood of the transfer of CWD by muzzle to muzzle contact between animals. This practice can also result in feed contamination with feces and urine, and further spread diseases, including CWD. Activities which either concentrate deer or do not routinely replenish food supplies are acceptable and allowed under the CWD regulations because they have much lower levels of risk. Providing naturally occurring browse or wildlife food plots are included in these low risk activitiesÓ .

Cutting of trees and brush for wildlife habitat improvement is not illegal, but actually encouraged.

Forest and wildlife management are synonymous!

The chain saw is the tool of choice when it comes to wildlife management. By opening up areas around apple trees, pruning off dead and dying branches and adding some fertilizer in the spring, you can take an old dying, sunlight starved apple and turn it into a healthy apple producing wildlife feeding machine! The branches left can be used to build brush piles for rabbits and the young tender stems will be nipped by deer when feeding. You wonÕ t be wasting anything. Sunlight hitting the ground around the apple trees in spring will stimulate new grass and forb growth that wildlife can feed on. Create openings in the woodlot for browse to grow in.

Loggers know, the sound of a chainsaw is like a dinner bell to a deer. When trees are harvested for saw logs, the tops are left in the woods, supplying browse for deer and grouse.

As a small forest owner what you can do is to start man-

aging your woodlot. Any disturbed areas along woods roads or ditches should be seeded down to a grass or legume mix. Check with your local seed dealers, there are some really neat wildlife seed mixes that provide soil protection and dynamite wildlife food plots, including plants for pollinator species. Wildlife management if done with forethought is multi-tasking at its finest!

If winter deer feeding is your goal, take a look at the following chart and try to manage your vegetation for the foods that deer prefer.

Winter Deer Foods Chart taken from NYS DEC Website Winter Food Chart The following is a partial listing of tree and shrub species that are eaten by deer in the winter, arranged in order of quality and preference. This listing is based on thousands of observations in deer wintering areas over many years from all parts of New York State.

Preferred or Best Liked: Cedar, white or arborvitae Apple Mountain maple Wintergreen Flowering dogwood Basswood

Yew Sassafras Maples* Witch hobble Alternate leaved dogwood Staghorn sumac

Second Choice Elderberry Mountain ash Highbush blueberry Silky dogwood Honeysuckle Cucumber tree Wild raisin

Red berried elder Highbush cranberry Willow* Red osier dogwood Nannyberry Hemlock Arbutus

Readily Eaten White ash Oaks* Yellow birch American chestnut Witch hazel Choke cherry Black walnut Lowbush blueberry Black ash Wild grape Leatherwood Starvation or Poor Food Scotch pine** White pine** Beech Mountain laurel** Gray birch Musclewood (Blue beech) Spruces Black locust Red cedar Raspberry and blackberry Pin cherry Tamarack Buckthorn

Sugar maple Black birch Hickory Black cherry Spicebush Elm Shadbush, Winterberry Butternut Hazelnut Bush honeysuckle

Pitch pine** Red pine** Aspen or poplar Rhododendron** Paper birch Ironwood (Hop hornbeam) Alder Grey-stemmed dogwood Balsam** Sweet fern Sheep laurel Gooseberry (current)* Hawthorn

*There is considerable difference in palatability and preference of the different species of this genus.

Cutting out firewood along with general forest management practices will maintain a healthy woodlot, provide wildlife habitat, income and supply a renewable source of energy for heating your home or shop. Thinning out both the woods and the wildlife will provide fuel for both our stove and our bodies, fuel that is naturally grown and harvested from our lands. With sound forest and wildlife management practices you not only supply feed for deer, but you do it the right and legal way. So grab that saw and get to work! Wildlife needs us, as much as we need them!

As rural woodlot owners, self- reliance is our thing.

Maintaining our heritage of private property ownership is number one to us. Forest and wildlife management along with hunting involves both the taking from and giving back to our land. How much we take and give back will decide if we are true conservationists or not!

Rich Redman is a retired District Conservationist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and an avid outdoorsman.

ven the most hardened Adirondacker is likely to admit the weather patterns over the last few days have been a bit harsh.

Some folks may even go so far as to complain that itÕ s been a bit too cold for December.

For those who have been counting the months until the return of safe ice, it seems it is now just about right.

A good cover of solid black ice has already set up on nearly every small body of water in the area except for the Big Lake, where even the bays appear to be resisting the deep freeze.

Early ice always seems to bring out the anglers, as it often produces some of the best fishing of the hard-water season.

It also provides the opportunity for many avid Ô ice-headsÕ to get reacquainted and to catch up. IÕ ve always marveled at the outright camaraderie of the sport.

Ice fishing is undoubtedly one of the most social of all outdoor pursuits. It has a way of bringing fishermen together, in a manner that would never even be considered on the ponds or the streams.

On the ponds, anglers tend to be very closed mouthed, and theyÕ re rarely willing to pass along any worthwhile information to strangers, especially newcomers.

The same guy would shun you on a small trout stream, or even try to chase you off from Ô their sectionÕ of the river.

But when you meet the very same individuals on the ice, they canÕ t seem to stop talking about their secret techniques, the proper fishing depths, the best bait to use or just about anything else that will help others to catch fish.

And if they happen to own a power auger, stand clear if they offer to drill a few holes for you.

I’ve watched ‘em fire-up their custom built, nitro burning, ice augers and chew through enough ice to float a fleet of tuna boats in less than a minute. They can turn pond ice into Swiss cheese before most folks even have a chance to get their tip-ups untangled.

Another interesting phenomenon that has appeared during the annual race to winter ice in recent years has been the invasion of the clamshell shelters.

The old fashioned, ice shanties which were constructed of rough-cut 2x2Õ s, newspaper tin, a few shingles and a pint of gin seem to have gone out of style. Olympic ice climbing athletes will perThe newfangled, modern form on an artifical ice wall, unlike the shelters weigh less than a pup winter athletes who train regularly on the tent and they come with a sled ice flows of Pok-O-Moonshine or the Casthat carries all the gear neces- cades. sary to spend a cold day on a windy lake.

These modern shelters have nearly made the sport bearable for the average man; and they have seemingly reduced the need to venture across the lake in a truck.

A few cautions would be considered before traveling on the ice. Use a sled or an ATV if necessary, but leave the car or truck on shore.

Every year, somebody puts a motor vehicle through the ice. Car insurance is void once you drive onto the ice, and itÕ s a very expensive process to have a vehicle removed, without even including the daily fines.

Always let someone know your plans, where youÕ re going and when you expect to return. Always carry a throw rope, ice spikes, a cell phone and be cautious when fishing near inlets, outlets, bridges and other such areas where there is likely to be a current.

The newest sport on Olympic Ice

In Lake Placid, and most of the other Winter Olympic villages around the world, the arrival of ice and snow has always provided the opportunity for athletes to go fast, real fast.

Bobsled and luge athletes will thunder down the track at breakneck speeds, (luge is the only winter sport measured to the 1/1000th) of a second.

Alpine skiers cover ground faster than an avalanche, while ski jumpers typically take to the air with an average speed of nearly 60 mph.

What do these sports have in common? They all involve Olympic caliber athletes who are racing to the bottom in an effort to make it to the top tier of the medalÕ s podium.

For a change of pace, the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympic Games to be hosted in Sochi will include a new winter sport which will require competitors to race to the top, rather than the bottom.

Their race course will feature some of the toughest, most challenging ice formations in the world.

In Sochi, competitive Ice Climbing will be introduced as a demonstration sport with the intention of making it a full-fledged Olympic sport in future years.

Anyone who has traveled through the Cascades or Chapel Pond pass during the winter months has likely witnessed the non-traditional athletes climbing high on the big, blue, frozen flows. They scale the cliffs with an ice ax in each hand, and a pair of spiked crampons strapped to their boots. And they often dare to tread where even the most surefooted of climbers would never attempt.

Sport climbing was first introduced in 2006 as a demonstration sport during the Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy.

While the full scope of the Sochi climbing events have yet to be announced, it is expected they will include some type of head to head competitions to add excitement to a sport that has long been dominated by the Russians.
