Saranac and Beekmantown Central were under tight security and residents appeared to be rattled.

Christopher Rasco lives on Bouck Street, just a click away from the manhole from which the killers emerged following their escape.

Racso thinks the men remain close.

“I don’t believe they have gone far,” he said.

Racso says he feels violated by the sustained police presence and the continued lockdown on the street.

“It’s an emotional intrusion on my family because they are scared and nervous,” he said.

Kristen Parker lives in Cadyville, about four miles from the prison.

While she remains wary, Parker said her concerns have lessened over the past 48 hours, in part, because she believes the convicts have fled the area.

“I think they had enough time to get away to escape to somewhere different,” said Parker. “I don’t think that they would be hiding out here.”

Parker said she and her family felt safe.

MLH ER staff take part in training TICONDEROGA Ñ Emergency department staff from Moses Ludington Hospital recently took part in speciallydesigned simulation training at the Clinical Simulation Laboratory at the University of Vermont, in an effort to test and enhance its collective skill. Both physician assistants and nurses took part in the training; the first of its kind at the training center to include different levels of clinical staff.

Critical care technicians from Lamoille Ambulance Service also took part in the training, as they are often the first to encounter patients; and must provide patient care until arrival at the hospital.

The simulation lab is a state-of-the-art “virtual hospital” that allows students and established medical professionals to practice procedures in a safe environment. Participants are able to “practice” on full-body mannequin simulators that demonstrate lifelike physical responses including respiratory distress, change in vital signs, and appropriate reaction to treatment and administered agents. Their complex circuitry can be manipulated to mimic any type of medical-related scenar-

io. Adjustments made during a simulation cause them to react as if they were human; and scenario participants must react as if the mannequins are real patients.

Moses Ludington emergency department staff requested that the simulation be very challenging, as the facility is often presented with complex critical care cases.

Rural facilities often find themselves providing the initial, life-saving care, so that patients are ultimately able to make it to a tertiary care facility where they can undergo surgery, cardiac intervention, and burn or stroke treatment. And they often do so with limited resources, incomplete medical information about the patient, and limited time to treat.

The simulation was dubbed “Low Frequency, High Risk” and presented the group with scenarios that were incredibly challenging. Just like in the emergency department, the team was required to analyze the various situations presented, provide initial treatment and ultimately determine a course of necessary and medical action. Most importantly, it required that participants work quickly and effectively as a unit to accomplish its work.

“We wanted to be challenged,” said Chief Physician Assistant Alex Caffrey.

“We are always interested in improving our skills, especially in regard to complex situations,” she said. “The emergency department at Moses-Ludington Hospital can be faced with challenging cases; any additional training that we do must really test our abilities, knowledge and skill.”

The simulation scenarios that were presented to Moses-Ludington staff included an incredibly difficult child birth, a significant trauma situation, an incredibly sick patient, and another difficult trauma scenario with more than one patient at a time. In addition to those specific simulation scenarios, the group was able to practice creation of a surgical airway, something that may be required in situations involving trauma, infection, swelling or allergic reaction.

Emergency room physicians, along with obstetric and trauma surgeons watched through a one-way glass partition. They adjusted the mannequin’s circuitry, to account for changes and complications as the scenarios unfolded.

Group opposed to new Ti police station proposal

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ A group of Ticonderoga residents is raising questions about a proposal to move the police station from its current home on Burgoyne Road to a facility on Champlain Avenue.

Joe Giordano, an organizer with Amherst Avenue Concerned Neighbors, said a plan to move the department sixtenths of a mile from its current headquarters is flawed for several reasons, including negative effects on vehicle traffic, property values and local schoolchildren.

Early discussions have focused on placing the police facility in a maintenance building on the armory parcel. The larger building on the property, which currently serves as a community center, would not be affected under the proposal, officials said.

A document circulating around the neighborhood outlines why members of the group want to thwart the project. Ò There are certainly more suitable locations in Ticonderoga to properly resituate our Police Department,Ó the document says.

Giordano said since the group rolled out a petition raising concerns about the project a few weeks ago more than 200 people have signed it. Ò The group is growing,Ó he said last week in a phone interview.

But town Supervisor Bill Grinnell said bringing the police station to the maintenance building on the armory parcel makes sense both for public safety, and from a financial point of view. The group had put out Ò a lot of misinformation,Ó Grinnell said in an interview last week.

The need for a new police facility is not going away,

Grinnell said. He added previous town councils and resident groups have been exploring options for several years. Ò ItÕ s one of the things I inherited when I got here, and itÕ s one of the things that I would like to correct before I leave,Ó he said.

Grinnell said $100,000 that state Sen. Betty Little, RQueensbury, helped earmark to Ticonderoga will be key to putting the construction plan in motion for the new site. He said the townÕ s positioned to complete the project without having to issue bonds or raise property taxes. In total, he estimates the projectÕ s cost will be about half a million dollars, with the bulk of money coming from a designated fund used for facility improvements.

Despite concerns raised about placing the facility near residential streets and school facilities, Grinnell said heÕ s confident the building fits well into the armory site. But Grinnell said he understands some people will be opposed to the project. Ò The nature of Ticonderoga -- if youÕ re going to have a police force, itÕ s probably going to be across the road from somebody. And I feel badly that that causes issues and concerns. But if weÕ re going to have a police force, weÕ re probably going to have that situation somewhere.Ó Grinnell said a town-hired firm brought on to prepare a detailed plan for the station project will turn in a proposal by the end of June. Members of the public will have a few weeks to review those plans prior to a public meeting where they can give feedback.

Elected officials will then take time to deliberate and speak with constituents for a few weeks before a meeting where board members will vote on whether to proceed

with the project, Grinnell said. Ò I want some time to deliberate and I think the majority of the board feels the same way,Ó he said.

Giordano said he wants town officials to discuss other options for relocating the police department to other sites.

He would like those discussions to take place at the same time the public hearing on the police station project is held.

On behalf of the group, Giordano has also written the New York State Office of General Services to seek clarification on whether the armory parcel, which was deeded to the town about a decade ago, can be used for a police station. Ò The Ticonderoga Armory was conveyed to the Town of Ticonderoga under Section 34 of the New York Public Lands Law in 2003 for Ô recreational purposes.Õ We believe that installation of the Police Department on the Armory property would constitute non-conforming use according to Section 34,Ó according to a letter written to the agency.

May board meeting was tense

Ticonderoga supervisor Bill Grinnell clashed at a town board meeting in May with residents opposed to relocating the police station. At one point, one resident was cut off from speaking about the issue by Grinnell, who told

the group that plans would be discussed at a future meeting.

Grinnell said in an interview that his exchange with the resident was Ò very out of the ordinary.Ó He said since the meeting heÕ s had many discussions with residents about the project and expects a robust debate about the important community facility.

Editorial

Remember the rules of the road

Y

our job is not to be polite, your job is to be predictable.

This could refer to many things, but for this week, we are focusing that quote to the “job” of driving.

Yes, driving is a job. You are responsible for others when you are on the road, and they, in turn, are responsible for you. The payment from this job comes in a very simple form, that you, your car or anyone else sharing the road does not get hurt.

With any job, there are a list of rules and guidelines you have to adhere to. In driving, there are rules and guidelines very familiar to the anxious, acne-dotted face of a teenager preparing for first the written then driver’s test needed to receive the freedom and excitement which comes with a driver’s license.

However, at the moment that business-card sized piece of plastic with a driver’s name and picture exchanges hands, it seems this knowledge flies out the window faster than a cigarette butt from the vehicle in front of you.

As our staff covers the events and news of this area, they are on the road a lot and see examples of both good and bad driving. Here are some common occurrences they have seen which are in need of correction.

Perhaps the biggest problem facing drivers today is distracted driving. Your job on the road is to focus on the road, not on your text messages, Instagram selfies or dinner plans over the phone. That can all be taken care of before or after you get into your vehicle.

Studies have shown the average time to look at a text, email or phone pad is five seconds. That can be a lot of distance based on how fast you are going. Even if there are no cars around you to worry about, there may be hidden driveways or pedestrians in blind spots, and, here in the Adirondacks, there is a good chance some kind of four-legged creature is going to literally cross your path without regard for your right-of-way. While driving, a mobile phone cannot: rest on the driver’s leg, between the shoulder and ear, or on any other part of the driver’s body; be used for text messaging, video messaging, emailing or similar, or; be held in the driver’s hand other than to pass it to a passenger.

Drivers can only use a hand-held mobile phone if their vehicle is parked in an authorised parking spot. They cannot use a hand-held mobile phone while stopped at traffic lights.

Put the phones away, it can wait.

Another common issue we see on the roads are those who either fail to signal or do not realize their signal has remained on after making a turn. Signaling your intentions is a huge responsibility of the job for anyone who drives a vehicle, yet many times people will break suddenly, leaving the drivers both in front and behind to wonder what your intentions are. A wrong guess can lead to a serious accident, especially on rural roads where speeds are higher than in urban areas.

In New York State, the law requires you to signal a turn or lane change with your turn lights or hand signals at least 100 feet (30 meters) ahead. A good safety tip is, when possible, signal your intention to turn before you begin to brake to make the turn.

Even if you know exactly where you are going, it’s a good assumption no one else on the road does, so make sure you signal your intentions. It’s just the flick of a wrist.

It’s also just a quick glance at your dashboard to realize your turn signal is still on.

This can have similar consequences, as drivers will have to slow down or change course in anticipation of a turn that is never coming.

When it comes to right-of-way, too often we see drivers who, while their intentions are somewhat noble, sacrifice the rules of the road for courtesy. An example of this would be having a vehicle stopped at a stop sign, while the approaching vehicle with the right-ofway stops short and offers to let the stopped driver into the flow of traffic.

Courteous, yes. But definitely dangerous for all other drivers on the road.

This is a very dangerous move, as drivers from all sides are not prepared for someone who is going to stop when there is no stop required. They are also not going to yield the right-of-way for the car which now thinks it can merge without consequence.

So, please, help everyone stay safe on the road by doing your job this summer. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Tying your shoe laces

H

ave you ever heard the phrase, “I’m all in but my shoe laces?” A Malone friend posted comments on a social media site recently. She said they had come home and she was very tired after the trip, thus the shoe laces line. I told her I loved it, but it was unfamiliar to me.

Just when you think you know such things because you’ve lived in rural areas for many years, such colorful phrases pop up. I ran into another room and asked Kaye if it was familiar to her.

It was. “What would you say

by Gordie Little if you were exhausted like that?” she queried. The first thing that came to mind was, “I’m too pooped to pop” or “I’m just plain dog tired.”

How do these things get started anyway?

Somebody had to be first. It was either in conversation or in print. Often the origin is lost in the mists of time. Others with much more time and energy have searched such things and have written serious books and articles on the topic.

What I do here each week is mostly just for fun as I try to get conversations started around your kitchen table.

I’ve always been interested in studying the English language and the history of words. That’s the definition of etymology. To learn word roots and how those words have changed throughout the years is a great pastime. I especially like to learn how colloquial words and phrases from this area got their start. I know you’ve all said “jeezum crow” at one time or another and I have a good friend who makes a living by putting those words on his homemade products. We’ve also spent a lot of time trying to find out how our iconic food delight called michigans got started.

Sometimes, it’s fairly easy to trace the origin of words and phrases. The Internet and digital age have facilitated that effort tremendously. I’ve written often about “brass monkeys,” “breaking the ice,” “over the top,” “keeping your eye on the ball” and others. Some go all the way to the Holy Bible and many were coined by Shakespeare himself. Others were no doubt borne straight out of small talk by farmers such as “making hay while the sun shines.”

Although not familiar to me, the one about the shoe laces is perfect. When you hear it, you know instantly what it means. Last weekend, Kaye and I drove up to the wonderful, old Petrova School in Saranac Lake. It was charming because Kaye graduated on that stage when it was a high school way back when. Also, because one of our 37 great grandchildren was performing there with other youngsters who charmed their parents and friends.

Little dancer Lydia’s big brother Logan walked in and out with us. I noticed that both of his laces were not only untied, but were strung out behind him as he walked. He was oblivious and, amazingly, didn’t trip or stumble even once. I had a flashback to age five and heard my mother’s voice in my head saying, “Tie those laces or you’ll trip and fall.” Later, I saw that Logan’s laces were tied securely in beautiful ‘rabbit ear” loops. I didn’t ask who did it. Maybe my mother’s voice was loud enough for him to hear it as well.

Do they still teach lace tying in kindergarten?

When our kids were small, they brought home writing assignments challenging them to describe on paper the precise steps for tying their shoe laces. Guess who helped them with that project and made himself crazy in the process?

My mother has long since crossed the river Jordan and is blissfully residing on the other side; but Kaye is my conscience and often reminds me to tie my shoe laces and keep my zipper zipped.

She has saved me from public embarrassment so many times. How I love that woman.

My advice to you: listen to your mother and your wife. Keep your eye on the ball, tie your shoe laces, keep your powder dry and don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.

Ti Spanish class uses their new skills in discussion with exchange students TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga high school Spanish students participated in a roundtable discussion of languages and culture with two exchange students who are being hosted this school year by local families.

Leaders of the workshop were Santiago Carrascal and Wiebke Stadler, students from Spain and Germany. Santiago is a sophomore at Schroon Lake Central School who is being hosted by Dave and Heather Williams. Wiebke is a junior at Ticonderoga High School being hosted this year by Lori and Gary Olcott.

Students in the freshman and sophomore Spanish classes prepared questions for the guests regarding the differences among

German, Spanish and American cultures. Topics included social media in Europe, differing family roles, teenage pastimes and social problems in Europe and the United States.

Many students were curious about differing foods from Germany and Spain and the unique educational system of Europe.

The topic of sports arose many times, a common question beingdo Santiago and Wiebke play soccer? Santiago does play soccer in Spain and has enjoyed learning tennis and playing at Schroon Lake School this spring. Wiebke does not play soccer, but joined the track team at Ticonderoga High and has enjoyed this sport, although it is her first experience as a runner.

TACC to host new Bodette’s Barbecue ribbon cutting

Ticonderoga High School students visited Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont Wednesday, May 6.

They took a tour of the campus and listened to a presentation about the school. Students received information about Champlain College and also about what colleges expect students to have when applying to a program. Many students were so impressed that they commented on how they would love to go to Champlain College after taking the tour. After the campus tour, French 2 students, along with a few students not taking French, had the opportunity to eat lunch at Leunig’s Bistro, an authentic French bistro. Leunig’s Bistro gave the group an upstairs, private room where students sat at tables of two or four, some overlooking Church Street. The students were expected to use table manners such as taking off a hat, putting away or turn off their cell phones, socializing with those around them and being polite when speaking with staff.

The students started the meal by trying escargot and pâté. Almost every student tried both and those who did, preferred the escargots. Leunig’s gave the students five choices of entrées: Duck Confit Poutine, Boeuf Bourguignon, Steak-frites, a Pesto and Wild Mushroom Melt and a Ginger or Rhubarb Glazed Salmon. The students at many of the tables ordered different dishes so that they could all try what they had not ordered.

The students ended the meal with a macaroon.The French 2 students enjoyed their authentic French meals to the point that they have asked to take a trip to Leunig’s Bistro in the future. Pictured are Omni Bazan, Meg McDonald, Sarah Bresett and Grace Montville Photo provided

Fort Ticonderoga to present Sunsets and Secrets program TICONDEROGA Ñ Join Fort TiconderogaÕ s Curator of Collections for a rare look inside the building where the preservation of Fort Ticonderoga began. Step inside the Pavilion, currently closed to the general public, to learn about the men and women who saved Ticonderoga from destruction and made their home on the shores of Lake Champlain. Explore the stories of the building from the 19th and 20th centuries as the sun sets over the lake, and discover how modern science combined with old-fashioned historical research has helped to shed light on the building’s secrets. Sunsets and Secrets begins at 5 p.m., near the Guest Service Desk in the Log House Welcome Center. Tours take place every other Wednesday July through August. The cost of this specialty adventure is $35 per person.

“Walk in the footsteps of Robert Todd Lincoln, President William Howard Taft, and hundreds of others who have visited the Pavilion over almost two centuries,” said Matthew Keagle, Fort TiconderogaÕ s Curator of Collections. Ò This is a rare chance to step inside the oldest intact structure remaining on the garrison

grounds, off limits for almost 30 years and only just now starting to give up the secrets of its construction and use.”

The Pavilion was built as a summer home in 1826 by William Ferris Pell. He and his family occupied the home through the 1830s. By the early 1840s, the house had begun to be used as a hotel, its primary function through 1900. As a hotel, the house welcomed travelers passing through Ticonderoga by steamboat on Lake George and Lake Champlain. The hotel is known to have accommodated such guests as Robert Todd Lincoln, son of President Abraham Lincoln; the prominent French & Indian War historian, Francis Parkman; and prolific Adirondack photographer, Seneca Ray Stoddard. When William Ferris Pell’s great-grandson, Stephen H.P. and his wife Sarah G.T. Pell began the restoration of Fort Ticonderoga in 1909, they simultaneously undertook the restoration of the Pavilion and used the house as a summer residence for many years. After Stephen Pell’s death in 1950 his son John occupied the house through 1987. As one of the earliest summer homes and hotels in the region, the Pavilion

is considered one of the most important historic structures in the Adirondacks. The Pavilion is a critical link spanning nearly two centuries of Fort TiconderogaÕ s history encompassing the stories of landmark preservation, the birth of American tourism, and monumental restoration.

In addition to the Sunsets and Secrets tour, visitors can immerse themselves in the epic history and incredible natural beauty at Fort Ticonderoga with several other richly informative and entertaining guided specialty tours this summer. Thrill at the power of artillery during the Guns by Night tour; enlist in the Continental Army in the To Act as One United Body tour; examine and handle original 18th-century weapons during the Beyond Bullets and Blades tour; and discover the first hammer blows of French soldiers in the Beneath Fortress Walls tour.

Advanced reservations are required. To learn more about our specialty tours call 585-2821 or visit fortticonderoga.org, click on the “Visit” tab and select “Behind the Scenes and Special Tours.”

High school field trip to Chilson Brook Alpaca Farm TICONDEROGA — On May 27, Spanish level 4 and 5 advanced language students participated in a cultural workshop on the Peruvian and Bolivian Alpaca history on recently at the Chilson Brook Alpaca Farm, attending a conference sponsored by Alpaca owner and developer Lynne Reale.

Mrs. Reale presented a lecture on the origin of Alpaca farming and breeding by the Inca peoples of South America and the exports of Alpacas to the United States. Students had the opportunity to enter the pasture and feed some of the adult and juvenile Alpacas. Alpaca fleece is five times warmer than wool and much softer.

It comes in 22 different shades.

Alpacas survived the introduction of sheep to South American during the Spanish colonization when many indigenous tribes fled with their Alpacas to the high Andes to avoid enslavement by the Spanish. Alpaca fiber was called “fiber of the Gods.”

The Chilson Brook farm sends its fleece to a cooperative that produces items from the raw fiber. Students in attendance included Lilith Ida, Tyler Morse, Dale Quesnel, Cody Shaner, Tia Stark, Wiebke Stadler, Emily Powers, Alex Mosier, Brianna Bezio, Casey Raymond, Aaron Russell and Kodi McCoy.

Fifth graders from St. Mary’s School spent the morning of Friday, May 15 bird banding at the Crown Point Historic Site. Kennice Rich holds a bluebird.

Notable inmates at Dannemora DANNEMORA — While Richard Matt and David Sweat may now be the most infamous prisoners (formerly) of the Clinton Correctional Facility, the list of “guests” here reads like a who’swho of violent criminals, along with several famous inmates who have spent time in “New York Siberia.”

Robert Garrow

Perhaps the biggest manhunt prior to the search for Matt and Sweat was focused on the capture of prison escapee Robert Garrow, who had a pair of stays in the facility. The first, from 1961 until 1963 for rape before being transferred Auburn. After murdering four people in July 1973 and sparking the largest manhunt in state history at the time, Garrow was sent back to Clinton from 1974 until 1977, when he was sent back to Auburn before going to the Fishkill Correctional Facility, which he escaped from in 1978. After another manhunt and capture, Garrow was killed in another escape attempt Sept.

11, 1978.

Charles “Lucky” Luciano

Perhaps the second most infamous mobster of the “golden age” of organized crime behind Al Capone, Luciano was an inmate who served 10 years for running a prostitution ring before being deported to Italy

after World War II.

Joel Rifkin

Known as “Joel the Ripper,” Rifkin went on a five-year killing spree murdering 17 women. In 2011, former Denton Publications editor Jeremiah Papineau interviewed Rifkin.

I went through several security checkpoints and answered numerous questions before getting anywhere close to Rifkin. The experience of walking into a maximum security prison was surreal and one I was definitely glad I was doing on my own free will.

When I finally got to the visiting room, I waited for more than a half-hour until I saw the door to the prisoners entrance open. ThatÕ s when Rifkin walked in on his own accord - no shackles, no guard assisting him...

He talked about the circumstances in which he was finally caught and, more interestingly in my opinion, how he believes he got his start in his violent rampage against women, targeting prostitutes.

See more by searching “Joel Rifkin” on denpubs.com.

The Ol’ Dirty Bastard, as he was known as during his time as a member of the rap group Wu Tang Clan, was in Dannemora for 17 months after being convicted of criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Others include:

Richard Bilello

Member of the Lucchese crime family.

Robert Chambers

The “preppy murderer” served at Clinton Correctional for the manslaughter conviction of Jennifer Levin.

Jeffrey Conroy

Convicted in 2010 of a hate-crime murder of Marcelo Lucero in Patchogue, the first person to be convicted of a hate crime for a death in Suffolk County.

Julio Gonzalez

Convicted of the 1990 Happy Land Fire in the Bronx which killed 87 people.

Vincent Johnson

Tupac Shakur

The “Brooklyn Strangler” is serving a life sentence for the murders of five prostitutes.

The Grammy-award winning rapper and movie star served nine months on a sexual abuse conviction which was later overturned. Shakur was gunned down in September of 1996 in Las Vegas after attending a Mike Tyson fight in what was classified as gang violence.

Altemio Sanchez

“The Bike Path Rapist” murdered at least three women and raped at least 14 others in and around Buffalo over a 25 year span.

Ralph “Bucky” Phillips

Convicted for the shooting of three New York State troopers in 2006 after escaping from jail.

“We actually have police vans and cars that have been by our home,” she said. I believe they’re doing a great job.”

Authorities are continuing to investigate some 300 leads, state police said on Monday.

It remains an open question of how the inmates obtained the tools; if they had help and when, in fact, they performed the sophisticated work.

Hundreds of corrections and law enforcement officers continue to comb through the region, conducting grid searches in the heavily wooded area, and additional investigative services are being applied statewide and nationally.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said that the inmates could now be anywhere.

It’s also looking increasingly likely that it could be an inside job, said the governor.

“I think they had help,” said Cuomo in an appearance on the Today Show. “I don’t believe they could have acquired the equipment that they needed to do this without help.”

Cuomo said the investigators have divided the prison employees into three groups: guards, civilian employees and private contractors.

“I’d be shocked if a correction guard was involved in this,” said Cuomo. “But they definitely had help, otherwise they couldn’t have done this on their own.”

Cuomo said the complex operation, which has drawn comparisons to the Shawshank Redemption, must have taken days.

After constructing makeshift dummies, the pair cut through the steel wall at the back of their cells, scaled a catwalk, broke through a brick wall and into a steam pipe, where they snaked their way to freedom, exiting through a manhole cover.

“It really could have been a movie script, and if you saw it as a movie script, it would have been unbelievable, frankly, what they accomplished,” said Cuomo.

It’s been revealed that the two men, both of whom have long track records of violent behavior, Acting Corrections Commissioner Anthony Annucci has said that all internal tools have been accounted for.

Citing a high-level source, the New York Post reported on Monday that a female prison worker was being interrogated as a possible accomplice.

Authorites confirmed on Tuesday that a woman who worked in the prison’s tailor shop was being interviewed by investigators.

Cuomo said the top priority remains capturing the convicted killers. The state has offered a $100,000 reward for their capture.

High Peaks hospice moves into new Mineville facility

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com MINEVILLE Ñ Not a single patient had been treated at the new hospice center in the Moriah Business Park last week -- but officials expressed confidence that the facility had already made valuable contributions.

That’s because construction of the High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care facility helped students learn valuable skills for future careers.

A June 5 ribbon-cutting marked the facility’s opening.

Jody Olcott, co-executive director of the Essex County Industrial Development Agency, welcomed around 40 people to the celebration of the new facility at 47 Tom Phelps Road.

Olcott lauded Champlain Valley Educational Services students involved in the construction trades program. They worked “side by side” with contractors over a 16-month period, developing their landscaping, electrical, and plumbing skills.

The multi-acre business park project has taken shape under the direction of the development agency since the land was purchased in the 1990s. Olcott told the group how private and public entities have worked collectively to make the development an important hub of economic activity. Other park tenants include

Moriah town supervisor Tom Scozzafava said the trades program helped keep costs down on the project and aided students in learning the

basics of needed professions. He said he would like to see communities throughout the region explore ways to strike similar partnerships with training programs.

Also Scozzafava said the hospice has been a valuable asset to the community and extended good wishes to its employees, who occasionally have contended with bees and bats at previous hospice locations. “Finally, you have a nice home,” Scozzafava said.

The new 3,256 square foot facility will be home to about 8 full-time hospice staff members who expect to serve more than 100 patients annually. The new facility comes not a moment too soon, as demand has increased for hospice care over the years. Hospice office manager Alice Wright said the group had Ò really outgrown” its Port Henry location.

Student Jesse Napper said the hands-on learning aspects of the project taught him trade skills and also educated him about the importance of seeing an endeavor through to completion -- even if it didn’t feel like it at times.

After some initial struggles, Napper said the process of putting in a wall became “like bread and butter.”

Standing in front of the building, envisioning fellow members of the community getting the services they needed, Napper said he felt a sense of satisfaction.

Signage issues arise at North Hudson buffalo farm

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON — A North Hudson buffalo farm will move forward with a project to install a bathroom at the tourist destination -- if state officials clarify in a letter that the addition will meet all the requirements needed to place signage along a busy highway.

The Adirondack Buffalo Company, for several years, has been talking to numerous government agencies about ways to increase signage for businesses, which is home to about 40 American bison.

But the company says it’s not just their business being hampered by red tape associated with getting signs up. Concerns have also been raised that Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp has lost business because of a web of rules overseen by agencies including the New York State Department of Transportation and the Adirondack Park Agency.

The farm and other facilities are located off exit 29 in the struggling town of North Hudson. A new gas station also recently opened up in the town.

Last week, the saga entered a new chapter when the buffalo farm took to social media to voice frustrations about a letter from the state Department of

Transportation. Steep fines would be levied if they did not remove two yellow and brown signs. The signs were placed at the end of exit ramps from Interstate Highway 87, commonly known as the Northway.

“Well, folks - Here we go again,” Dorreen Ossenkop, co-owner and operator of the buffalo farm wrote June 1 in a Facebook post. “The NYS DOT is again demanding we (all businesses with signage at exit 29) remove our business signs from the Northway/Blue Ridge Road rights-of-way or suffer daily fines of $100

Schroon Lake senior citizens recently attended a brunch at the Word of Life Inn. The annual event is for all seniors citizens from Essex County.

per sign, removal and disposal of said signs, and fees to pay for the cost of said removal.”

Hundred of people shared the Facebook message on the social media site and it also prompted communication between the company and state officials, including state Sen. Betty Little, R-Queensbury.

By the end of the week, the farm appeared to have an agreement in place where it could keep the signs up along the state road for a while longer. In exchange, Ossenkop said the company will install a bathroom, which will hopefully allow it to qualify as a destination spot that can have signage along the Northway.

Steve Ossenkop, Dorreen’s husband and business partner, said he’s planning to install the bathroom at a cost of roughly $4,000 to $6,000. The construction project should only take about a month, he said.

But before the Ossenkops start the project they want some assurances on the specifics of their agreement. “It’s easy to misunderstand over the phone,” Dorreen Ossenkop said. “I’d like them to spell out exactly what they are going to require from us.”

Dan McEntee, chief of staff for Little, said heÕ s hopeful the latest round of communication will lead to DOT-approved signage being permanently in place for both the buffalo farm and Jellystone.

Bryan Viggiani, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said in a June 5 email that officials will continue to work with the Adirondack Buffalo Company and elected officials to find a solution that satisfies all parties involved.

“They are in the process of building a public restroom with running water, which will qualify them as a destination at Exit 29. We expect to come to a mutually agreeable resolution. In the meantime, their existing sign will remain in place,” Viggiani wrote.

Second Blessings Warm weather reminder: Ticks a threat

By Christopher Pratt christopher@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Adirondackers are once again enjoying the warm weather -gardening, venturing to parks and meandering along their favorite wooded trails. But health officials have been reminding nature lovers to be on the look out for an emerging threat -- Lyme disease.

The late spring and summer is deer tick season. Also known as blacklegged ticks, the species are able pass on Lyme disease after attaching themselves to humans for a period of 36 to 48 hours. The disease is typically exhibited in symptoms including fever, headache, fatigue, and a skin rash called erythema migraines.

As part of Lyme Disease Awareness Month, New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker urged residents last month to be vigilant of deer ticks.

“It is essential that New Yorkers of all ages understand the health risks associated with tick bites as they venture outside to enjoy the warm weather,” Zucker said in a May 27 statement. “By following several simple precautions, people can protect themselves and their families.”

New York State has averaged more than 5,500 new cases annually since reporting began in the mid-1980s. In Essex County, the number of reported cases hovered be-

tween zero and 10 between 2002 and 2007, according to the Essex County Public Health website. However, it shows the numbers have been trending upwards more recently.

For example, more than 20 occurred in 2010 -- the most recent year data was charted on the website.

Andrea Whitmarsh, public health educator with the Essex County agency, said Lyme disease is “more of an emerging risk.” Ò WeÕ re starting to see the incidents of Lyme disease increasing in our area,” Whitmarsh said.

A variety of factors have played a part in the emergence of Lyme disease as a threat, including the changing climate. The life cycle and prevalence of deer ticks are strongly influenced by temperature. Studies provide evidence that climate change has contributed to the expanded range of ticks, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website.

To counter the ticks, which are typically a few millimeters long and tend to live in wooded areas, local officials have been circulating prevention tips and other helpful information to community centers, libraries and schools. “We’ve done a lot out of outreach,” Whitmarsh said.

Most cases of the illness occur in the late spring and summer when the tiny critters are most active and human outdoor activity is greatest, health officials said. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart,

and the nervous system.

Officials also note that companion animals like dogs, cats and horses are susceptible to ticks. Animal owners are encouraged to ask their veterinarian to conduct a tick check at each exam and discuss using tick preventives.

Essex County health officials have also dotted area trails with signs to remind people to be aware of ticks. Whitmarsh said groups interested in obtaining signs can contact the Essex County health department at 873-3500.

TICK PREVENTION TIPS

•Wear light-colored clothing with a tight weave to spot ticks easily.

•Wear enclosed shoes, long pants and al ong-sl eevedshr ts.

•Tuck pant legs into socks or boots and shirt into pants.

•Check clothes and any exposed skin frequently for ticks while outdoors.

•Consider using insect repellent.

•Stay on cleared, well-traveled trails.

Avoid contacting vegetation.

•Avoid sitting directly on the ground or on stone walls.

•Keep long hair tied back, especially when gardening.

•Do a final, full-body tick check at the end of the day (also check children and pets), and remove ticks promptly.

offers tips on thrift shop donating

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — With the temperature warming, many have gone into their attics, garages and closets to do their spring cleaning.

As a result, there are many items they no longer need, and donating to a loical thrift shop is a charitable and noteworthy option.

However, some items from the annual cleaning may not be suited for re-use, according to David Hirtle of the First Congregational Church, which runs the Crown Point-based thrift shop.

“We are very pleased to receive clean, useful, and appropriate items in good condition for our shop and these items will be accepted whenever the shop is open,” Hirtle said. “Our ‘rule of thumb’ is simple, if you won’t/can’t wear it due to it’s condition, please do not bring it. We do not have anyway to wash or dry soiled items and we, too, must pay to dispose of items that are beyond serviceability.”

Hirtle said they receive many fine donations from local individuals of clothing, household goods and “nick-knacks.”

For more information on Second Blessings Thrift Shop hours and what to donate, contact Hirtle at 597-3398.

Big wins, relay excitement mark track and field state qualifier Beekmantown girls and Saranac boys make up bulk of the field heading to Albany June 12-13

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — While most of the topseeded athletes fared well in the Section VII track and field state qualifiers in Beekmantown June 5, the rainy afternoon provided some upset excitement, too.

And perhaps the biggest one came right away.

Unseeded in the boys 4x800 relay, Peru’s Jared Banker, Tom Mathews, Ethan Feazelle and Isaiah Maddix came from behind on the final leg of the race to punch their ticket to Albany.

Just six days prior, the Indians’ 3,200 meter squad — with two different runners — took seventh in the event. But not this time. Maddix, running as the anchor, overtook a Hornets runner and stayed just ahead, edging out a win by eight tenths of a second.

“I told myself before the race, ‘If we’re behind, I’m going to sprint as fast as I can,’” Maddix said. “I saw my team screaming at me, I knew I’m already halfway through, I’m in pain, I’m going for it. I still can’t believe it.”

When the girls took to the track for the same race, the only element lacking was a photo finish. In sectionals, the Lady Chiefs were edged by the Blue Bombers, who came into qualifiers with the No. 1 seed. But the runners out of Saranac had a trick up the sleeve.

“We had a secret weapon, which was Janyll Barber, that we weren’t going to use until today,” said Faith Haley after the race.

Whether it was the secret weapon or a trip to states at stake, plenty changed in the six days since the last go at it. Haley, Barber, Amy LoTemplio and Lexi Blockson shaved over 20 seconds off the previous week’s result, good for a new Saranac school record.

“It feels amazing,” said Barber, who also qualified for states in the triple jump. “It’s exciting.”

Haley agreed.

“It’s definitely one of the best things I’ve ever done,” she added. “I’m going to remember it forever.”

After amassing a sizeable lead over the first three legs, it was up to Blockson to close the

race out. Despite ultimately winning by 14.1 seconds, the anchor felt the pressure.

“I was definitely stressed out at the beginning of the race,” Blockson said, adding that when she heard they were closing in on the record she knew she had to push it. “It felt amazing. It was really emotional.”

LoTemplio, also a two-event qualifier with a win in the 3,000 meter run, added that she’s excited to be going to Albany with a group of “awesome teammates.”

But not every event came with an element of surprise. Twelve top-seeded competitors won in girls competition and 10 more in boys. One of them, EKMW’s Jon Gay, was virtually a shoein for the 1,600 after a season full of substantial victories.

He finished the mile run in 4:22.90, good for a personal record and 25.7 seconds faster than runner-up Henry McGrew of Lake Placid.

Though the Westport junior was hoping for

4:19, a mark that may be more likely to achieve at states where he’ll run amongst, not well ahead of, the competition.

“I wish there was a little more competition just to push me along, but that’ll come at states,” Gay said after the race. “It’s difficult at times because I’m basically all by myself at practice.”

The fastest Division II 1,600 meter run time this season was achieved just a day prior, a 4:10.51 by Greenwich’s Jeremy Spiezio at the Section II state qualifier. For the Emu runner, states will provide an entirely different type of race.

“I think at first it’s going to get me a little out of rhythm, but by the 800 I’ll be nice and fluid,” Gay said. “I think it’ll be good, it’ll push me along, it will just be a little different at the very beginning.”

The Beekmantown girls, meanwhile, built on their recent Section VII title win by sending

seven athletes to states to compete in nine different events.

Elisabeth Plympton and Kallie Villemaire were three-time qualifiers for the Lady Eagles.

Plympton won the 100 meter dash and long jump, Villemaire the 200 and 400 meter dashes, and both took part in the 4x100 relay victory.

Lindsey Gonyea and Kirsten Villemaire, who also qualified in the 800, were the other two members of the relay team. Octavia Pizarro (100 meter hurdles), Grace Kelly (high jump) and Jerika LaValley (shot put) rounded out the long list of Beekmantown winners.

Saranac had two more qualifiers in Elysha O’Connell (1,500) and Logan Thatcher (discus).

The Lady Indians’ 4x400 relay team of Taylor Canet, Rebecca Romonowicz, Abby Adams and Rachel Sheldrick used a razor-thin .1 second margin to clinch their victory while Northeastern Clinton’s Jessica Cartier was best by 3.1 seconds in the 400 hurdles. Ticonderoga’s Lillith Ida victored in the pentathlon while Seton Catholic’s Sofia DeJordy got the nod in the 2,000 meter steeplechase.

In boys competition, Saranac and Ticonderoga dominated the field, combining for wins in 12 different events.

The Chiefs’ Justin Liechty did so individually in the 400 while also running in both the winning 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Caiden Goodman did the same, with his individual win coming in the 100. Rounding out the 4x100 was Hunter Church and Austin Myers; in the 4x400, Myrers and Colby Churchill.

Colby Russell swept the throwing events for Saranac while Zach LePage qualified through the 3,000 steeplechase.

Ticonderoga’s Shawn Silliman won both hurdles events while Marcus Moser (200), Kody Parrott (800) and Collin Bresett (high jump) rounded out the team’s winners.

The final four wins of the meet all went the way of Plattsburgh. Damian Bruce went to the air for two of them, winning the long and triple jumps, while Jeriqho Gadway won the 3,200 and Jacob Rohrig the pentathlon.

The NYSPHSAA championships, broken into two divisions for small and large schools, will take place June 12-13 at the University of Albany. A full schedule of events, as well as the option to purchase tickets online, is available at nysphsaa.org/sports/spring/track.aspx A year ago, two Section VII athletes — Ticonderoga’s Jay Hebert and EKMW’s Halie Snyder — were named state champions in the 110 hurdles and 400, respectively, with Hebert adding a Federation title as well.

NYSPHSAA Playoffs

Section VII teams shut out in bids for baseball, softball states Softball

Averill Park 21, Peru 0 MALTA — Averill Park showed just why it’s the No. 1 Class A in the state with a 21-0 subregional win over Peru on June 4.

After a scoreless opening inning, the Warriors scored eight runs in the top of the second and never looked back, sending runners home in four of the five innings to follow.

The Indians’ Brittany Miner managed the team’s lone hit of the game, a single, while the Warriors had 20.

Kelly Neenan suffered the loss in the circle for Peru while Jade Ramos also saw time pitching.

Neenan tossed a strikeout in the setback.

The Lady Indians wrapped up their season with an 8-7 mark overall.

Fort Ann 15, Lake Placid 2 SOUTH GLENS FALLS — The No. 4 Cardinals were too much for the Blue Bombers to handle as the two-time reigning Class D champs won 15-2 on June 5.

Fort Ann got rolling early on, scoring eight runs in the top of the first inning and pushing the lead to 14 after three.

Lake Placid’s two runs came in the bottom of the sixth with the game largely out of reach.

Gillian McLean had a double for the Section VII champs while Taylor Maiorca had a two RBI single in the setback.

Fort Ann, with 20 hits in the victory, got a big hitting performance from Allison Vrooman, who was a home run shy of a cycle. Molly Bailey collected the win with seven strikeouts while Lake Placid’s Carissa Kennedy took the loss in a complete game effort.

Hoosic Valley 10, Ticonderoga 1 PLATTSBURGH — The Lady Sentinels were handed their first loss of the season on June 6, falling 10-1 to the sixth-ranked Indians in the NYSPHSAA Class C regional.

Hoosic Valley put No. 4 Ticonderoga, which came into the game with a 16-0 record, on the ropes early with three runs in the top of the

opening inning.

The Section VII champs scored in the second inning, but the 3-1 hole would only get deeper as the Indians scored seven more times over the final three innings of the game.

Camille Coyne was the difference maker for Hoosic Valley, striking out 13 batters on her way to the win in the circle. Ti’s standout pitcher Hannah Ross suffered the loss, allowing six hit.

Five Sentinels errors compounded the deficit.

Carly Campney, Brittany Bruce and Haleigh Wright accounted for the Sentinels’ three singles.

Danielle Stannard went 2-for-3 for the Indians, adding two RBI to help her team reach the state semifinals.

Ichabod Crane 1, Saranac 0 MALTA — The Lady Chiefs’ season ended just one run away from a trip to the Class B semifinals as they fell to the Riders 1-0 on June 6.

Ichabod Crane, ranked sixth in the state amongst Class B teams, scored what would ultimately be the game-winner over No. 14 Saranac in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Riders pitcher Calista Phippen struck out 11 batters while allowing the Chiefs just a pair of hits. Roma Mazzariello had the game’s lone RBI. Tori Trim capped off her Saranac pitching career with five strikeouts, no walks and just one earned run. Sydney Adolfo and Carissa Pellerin accounted for the team’s two hits.

The Chiefs’ spring campaign came to a finish with a 19-5 mark while all but two starters — Trim and Summer Gillespie — have yet to enter their senior year.

Baseball

Peru 7, Franklin Academy 1 PLATTSBURGH — The Indians got started early, plating a runner in the bottom of the first on their way to a 7-1 win against the Huskies in the Class A sub-regionals on June 5.

Franklin Academy got within a run in the top of the fourth, but Peru responded with two of their own before scoring another three in the bottom of the sixth on the way to the win.

Blake Altizer pitched a complete seven innings, striking out nine batters while allowing just three hits and one run.

Tristan Archambault and Andy Kneussle both had one RBI on a pair of hits, with Archambault connecting on the game’s lone double.

Dan Bridgeman rounded out the team’s five hits with a single while Camden Rock and Cody Cunningham each had an RBI. Huskies pitcher Jared Moody, relieved in the sixth, suffered the loss on the mound.

With the win, Peru moves on to NYSPHSAA regionals where they’ll face Section II Class A champ Queensbury.

Section X’s Norwood-Norfolk struck first, but Northern Adirondack scored the game’s next three runs to take a lead into the sixth.

Two runs by the Flyers knotted the game up at 3-3 before a final run in bottom of the eight sealed the Class C sub-regional.

NAC had 10 hits in the game, all singles, with Kody Smith sending one runners home.

Tristen St. Andrews had a double and three RBI for the Flyers, including the game-winning sacrifice fly. Ethan King took the loss on the mound while Norwood-Norfolk’s Peter Jarvis, who took over in the fifth, pitched his team to the win.

Fort Ann 17, Lake Placid 2 SARANAC — While solid hitting carried the Blue Bombers to a Class D title and state playoffs, it was the undefeated and No. 2 Cardinals that fared better with the bat on June 5.

Behind a 10-hit performance, Fort Ann scored runs in all but one inning on its way to a 17-2 win over Lake Placid.

Most of the damage came from the CardinalsÕ Garrett Bailey, who completed the cycle on his way to nine RBI for the 19-0 Section II squad.

After allowing three runs in the top of the first, the Blue Bombers answered with one in the bottom of the frame before the game got away.

Evan Damp had a double for Lake Placid while Connor Preston and Alex Brandes both scored runs on a wild pitch and interference.

Four different Blue Bomber pitchers — Chris Williams, Noah Mohr, Ryan Damp and Kamm Cassidy — saw time on the mound.

Fort Ann continued to flex its muscles the following day, knocking off No. 1 Heuvelton for a trip to the state semifinals.

Lake Placid, which played a bulk of its season facing teams from three larger classes, capped off the year with 10 wins.

Ogdensburg Free Academy 9, Plattsburgh 5 CANTON — After a sub-regional bye, the Hornets’ season ended just one game shy of a trip to the state semifinals as the Blue Devils won 9-5 on June 6.

No. 9 Ogdensburg Free Academy did most of its damage in the bottom of the fourth inning as it pushed a one-run lead to nine.

Plattsburgh, however, didn’t back down. The eighth-ranked squad answered with five runs in the top of the fifth to get back into the ballgame, but it would be the last time in the game that a runner from either team would cross home.

Alex Follmer had two of the Hornets’ four hits while Andrew Bechard had a double and drove in three runners. Ryan Whalen added another RBI. Gerritt Rietsema had four strikeouts in the setback while Whalen added two more after relieving him in the fourth.

The Blue Devils’ Kinnon LaRose had 11 strikeouts on his way to picking up the win. Dakota Brady had three RBI on a pair of hits.

Plattsburgh, a week-and-a-half removed from its Section VII Class B title win, wrapped up the season 17-6.

Norwood-Norfolk 4, Northern Adirondack 3 CANTON — The Bobcats, no stranger to close games, came out on the wrong end of a closelyfought, extra-inning playoff tilt against the Flyers on June 5.

Queensbury 6, Peru 0 PLATTSBURGH — The Indians’ season came to an end just a game shy of the final four as the Spartans pulled away late for the 6-0 NYSPHSAA regional win at Chip Cummings Field on June 6.

Ausable’s Two Fly Challenge “You’ve got to bring the 2 lines through the loop twice, then spit on it and draw the lines tight”, I said as we sat in room 19 of the Mountain Brook Motel in Wilmington NY”. “The spit acts like a lubricant and keeps the line from getting hot and weak”.

It was the first fly fishing lesson the three guys from Gowanda in Western NY ever had, and they were picking it up quick.

By Rich Redman Learning to tie and use home grown leaders was just part of the informal lesson that evening. Nymph and streamer fishing were covered extensively that evening over cocktails, fish tales and laughter!

Steve and Wally were going to fish the Two Fly Challenge along with my brother Dave and I, and we wanted to be ready.

Fly fishing is not all about catching fish, but hey, ya gotta be ready and try anyway! Spending time with some buds and renewing friendships is important. Stream therapy is always a plus!

Running into friends like Herb and Jodi who come down from Potsdam to fish is always a joy, Herb and Jodi lost their granddaughter in the car crash in Ray Brook last year so they are reevaluating life. Taking time to live is important! They chose to fly fish once again in Wilmington this year.

The 2 Fly Challenge is a 2 day fly fishing for trout event where you are limited to a choice of 2 flies for each day of the event. If you lose the flies, the fish you catch after that, don’t count towards the total. You partner up with a friend, and are on the honor system, where you fish the stretch between the ski jumps in Placid and the dam in Wilmington. Anglers get to fish quiet waters, runs, pools and pockets waters.

Prizes were given for the largest fish, and the total length of an individual’s catch.

Hundreds of items were donated by numerous sponsors and tackle companies. Major sponsors include the Ausable River Two Fly Shop, Hardy Company, Douglas Outdoors, Montana Fly, In

Take a hike, buddy!

I

n the current age, where everyone has instant access to everything in a moment with the simple push of a button; it’s nice to know there are still a few places left that require more of an effort.

Among such places, I would rank the Adirondack 46’ers, which are the tallest peaks in the park, very high on the list.

I’d also have to include the fabled Northville-Placid Trail which bisects the park in a southern to northern pattern.

Not to be forgotten is The Cranberry 50, which is likely the most recent long-trail in the Adirondacks. The route encompasses many miles of forested wilderness surrounding Cranberry Lake, and includes a few highway miles as well.

And I would not overlook the many lesser peaks in the region, which are often more popular than the lofty, ‘high falulting’ High Peaks. While most local communities have a peak or two in sight of the village that they claim as their own ‘town hill’, there are several communities that share mutual mountains.

Mount Marcy for instance, offers an imposing presence when viewed from Lake Placid, Tupper Lake or Newcomb. Although it is a shared view, each community considers the mountain a landmark of their own town.

Elizabethtown can lay claim to a few of the lesser hills such as Cobble Hill, Raven, Discovery and Hurricane, but they share the high peaks of Rocky Peak Ridge and Giant with the neighboring towns of New Russia, Keene and Keene Valley.

Of course, Keene Valley has an exclusive rights to Noonmark Mountain, which dominates the local landscape and provides a timely natural clock when the sun is at high noon.

In recent months, the community of Saranac Lake has taken the lead in marketing the local peaks as part of the popular Saranac Sixers Campaign. Although there’s not a single High Peak in the mix; that appears to add to the charm of the challenge.

While lesser peaks such as Mt. Baker, McKenzie, Scarface, St. Regis, Haystack and Ampersand may not be as difficult compared to the fabled ‘Adk 46ers, that is the real charm. All six peaks are family friendly, and they provide a great way to introduce youngsters to the sport.

It is a hiking club that’s open to all family members, including the elderly and children. The initiative has become a symbol of community pride, and many local youth have bought into the concept. Currently, Saranac 6’er patches are more common on backpacks that haul books, rather than climbing gear.

Times of Ti • June 13, 2015 | 23 lied pleasure. Not bad for a rookie. Wally and Dave each picked up 3 browns over the day and a half event and I was lucky with 4 fish, including a nice 15 inch rainbow.

We celebrated with a fine meal at the Wilderness Inn, once again supporting our local economy.

The Two Fly Challenge brings in over 50 fishermen for the weekend, many coming from as far away as Connecticut, New Jersey, and western NY. This event is a great economic boost for our local motels and eateries.

The West Branch of the Ausable is a great river, but Hurricane Irene kicked some stream bank butt, and the damage is sending tons of sand into the river, clogging up gravel spawning areas, widening the river and flattening channels where trout once lived. The lower sections of the river have great holding areas and flush out sediments, but the river road section is in need of some bio-engineering.

I am planning on having a low key, low cost bio-engineering class this fall to work directly with fly fishermen to show them how some simple cuttings and plantings can help stabilize stream banks. As fishermen we do our share of damage when we climb up and down banks and walk along shorelines.

It’s time we pay our dues, set down the rods for a couple of hours and do some stream bank repair work, then we can get back to some fall fly fishing!

Search of Fly Waters, Wiley’s Flies, Ruger Gun Company, etc.

There were bucket raffles for fly fishing paraphernalia, along with raffle tickets sold for the chance to win a float tube donated by the Hungry Trout Shop.

There were many more sponsors involved, but way too many to mention.

Thank You to ALL of those sponsors for donating to this great event.

A special thank you goes to Michelle Preston and Tom Conway, for their organizational and promotional skills, keeping this yearly event strong.

All of the proceeds will be spent locally to purchase and stock Rich Redman is a retired District Conservationist for the USDA Nattrout from the Essex County Fish hatchery in Crown Point NY, ural Resources Conservation Service and an avid outdoorsman.

The Two Fly Challenge is set in early spring to help support the local economy before the summer season. Recreational communities like Wilmington rely on fly fishermen, hikers, bird watchers, leaf peepers, and skiers. Clean, cold stable rivers, green farm fields, and a variety of forests, with fish and wildlife habitat are all the draws, to create “tourist habitat”.

We don’t have a GM car plant or a US Steel Mill for folks to work in, so we must manage our natural resources with a sound conservation ethic.

Now back to the story! After checking out a few river runs and pools, our group came to a spot where the guys could get some on-stream fly casting experience.

After a few dozen snags, and line tangles along with the line slapping and flopping on the waters, things started to come together. Casting a fly rod is a skill that requires fluid motions, and patience, but once Pictured are Dave, Stevie, and Wally from the Buffalo area, fishing the Two Fly Challenge in you get it, you got it!

Steve took his first Brown Trout on a Photo by Rich Redman nymph, a beauty; 18 inches of yellow belFor those seeking an even greater challenge, the Sixers Campaign also offers an “Ultra 6er” patch for participants who tackle all six peaks in a single day. The Saranac Lake Sixers is the latest hiking challenge for visitors and locals alike, and it kicked off during the spring hiking season on May 25, 2013.

Although the Saranac 6’ers campaign is not yet as recognizable as the town’s fabled Winter Carnival, there is now a large, colorful rendition of the Saranac 6’ers logo located at the major intersection on Main Street and Broadway, next to the bandstand that holds the Sixer’s Bell, which is used to announce a climber’s final accomplishment.

The initiative has become a source of community pride. From the mountains to the streets, it’s obvious that our small towns revere their big hills. For further information on the Saranac Lake Sixers, campaign, please visit http://saranaclake6er.com/

Adirondack Hiking: By the numbers

Have you ever wondered who uses the Adirondack trails, and where they come from? Are they really all ‘outsiders’, who just come north to hike, bike or paddle, and leave very little economic impact in their wake?

I recently discovered some interesting answers to these questions in a research study conducted by Abigail Larkin and Colin Beier at the SUNY/ESF Adirondack Ecological Center in Newcomb.

While the study indicates there are an estimated 2350 miles of DEC trails in the Park, the exact total trail mileage is difficult to determine since many miles of trails are located on private lands recently acquired by the state. The researchers utilized information that was collected from an estimated 300 trail register stations across the region.

Based on user totals of 565,502 person-days, the study revealed that 21 percent of hikers prefer to go it alone, while 66 percent would rather hike in groups of 2-4 and 13 percent tend to travel in groups of 5 or more.

About 88 percent of the recorded outings were for day trips, while about 12 percent of travelers preferred to camp overnight.

The Adirondack Loj /Hart Lake trailhead which provides access to the High Peaks Wilderness Area was the most popular entrance for hikers. It attracts the most visitors with about 54,511 annually It is interesting to note that the shortest marked trail, which leads from the Rondax / Bald Mountain trailhead near Old Forge was the second most popular trailhead in the park. It attracted 30,388 hikers for a mile long hike leading to a restored fire tower with great views. I guess a short walk with a big view will always be worth the effort The study concluded the peak of the hiking season occurs during July and August with about 120,000 people taking to the woods each month.

However, it’s not just the ‘outsiders’ who enjoy the region’s many trails. According to study, local Park residents represent a higher proportion of trail users than visitors from any other

area of the state. Although the New York metropolitan region accounted for the greatest overall number of visitors, those travelers actually represent less than 1 percent of their home regionÕ s total population.

Of course, the study did not encompass the relatively new trail system that’s been developed throughout the Champlain Valley in recent years. The Champlain Area Trail System, (CATS) based in Whallonsburgh, encompasses over 30 miles of hiking trails that are located along the west coast of Lake Champlain.

The trails, some new and others restored offer new hiking experiences up Boquet Mountain, around Beaver Flow and in the Splitrock Wild Forest. The routes include several easy-to-moderate hiking trails that are perfect for families with children.

The CATS system also provides a number of unique community links that allow hikers an opportunity to travel from one small town to another in the course of a day, or over a week. The trails are ideally situated to accommodate lodge to lodge hiking and biking adventures throughout the historic Champlain Valley.

Trails Supporter Patch

Several years ago, the NYSDEC developed the Trails Supporter Patch in an effort to provide the non-consumptive community with an opportunity to contribute to the DECÕ s operations.

The patch provides visible evidence that hikers, paddlers, birders and similar nonconsumptive outdoor enthusiasts are willing to pay their fair share. While sportsmen and women have always been able to contribute to the Conservation Fund through the purchase of hunting, trapping or fishing license fees, hikers, paddlers, birdwatchers and other non-consumptive user groups had no such opportunity.

The Trails Supporter Patch has changed the equation. It is available for $5 at all outlets where sporting licenses are sold, online or via telephone at 1-866-933-2257. Proceeds from the sale of the patch are dedicated to help maintain and enhance nonmotorized trails throughout New York State.
