DEC: shanties off RAY BROOK — Ice anglers must remove all ice fishing shanties on the ice

by March 15, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation reminded shanty owners recently.

Shanties that fall partially through the ice become hard to remove and create hazards to snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles on the ice.

Shanties that remain after ice out (when the ice has melted away) become navigation hazards for boats. Owners that fail to remove their shanty by March 15 can be ticketed and face a maximum possible fine of $100.

Support for the arts of the North

By Shaun Kittle keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The North Country Cultural Center for the Arts hosted its first annual Decentralization Grant Awards Ceremony on Friday, March 8.

More than 140 people gathered in the art center’s main gallery to support the 27 grant recipients, who hailed from Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties.

The awards were distributed by NCCCA executive director Janine Scherline and NCCCA Grant Administrator Kathleen Recchia, but since funding from New York State has yet to come in, the recipients weren’t handed checks.

The ceremony represents the first time the NCCCA has been tasked with divvying up the Decentralization Grant, provided by the New York State Council for the Arts.

Jamming for a cause in Upper Jay

By Shaun Kittle shaun@denpubs.com UPPER JAY — Athena Pepe went to Nairobi, Africa, when she was just 10 years old.

Her mother brought her there to do volunteer work at an orphange where a lot of the children’s parents had died from AIDS.

She left with a sense of purpose, the importance of helping others had become clear, and the memories of the living conditions made her want to do more.

“What I saw was extreme poverty,” Pepe said. “There were little kids walking miles and miles to get water they had to strain the mud out of

for their families.”

That was near 10 years ago.

Today, Pepe is a senior at Keene Central School.

When it came time for Pepe to do her senior legacy project—a project that gets students to leave a legacy by helping others—her thoughts went back to Nairobi.

She remembered a presenta-

Pepe learned that the nonprofit organization focuses on helping kids in developing countries, specifically orphaned and at-risk children.

Tupper Lake Central School actors will take you “Back to the 80s” Submitted by George Cortes TUPPER LAKE — Ferris Bueller won’t have to take the day off, but he’d better prepare to “go back in time” when the Red and Black Players present “Back to the 80s: The Totally Awesome Musical!” at the Tupper Lake Middle/High School auditorium on Friday and Saturday, March 22 and 23, at 7 p.m., and on Sunday, March 24, at 2 p.m.

Back to the 80s is a nostalgic celebration featuring more than 20 of the top songs of the “Me Decade,” with the fashions, the fads, and everything else that made the 1980s so “gnarly, dude.” It’s a bittersweet look back on a year at the fictional William Ocean High School by a character named Corey Palmer, played by Lance Vaillancourt, and his efforts to get girl-nextdoor Tiffany Houston played by Abby St. Onge, to go to the prom with him. His plans are thwarted at every turn by the school’s coolest guy, Michael Feldman played by Ian Gillis.

Music director for this high-energy show is Elizabeth Cordes, choral director at Tupper Lake Middle/High School and music director for all the Red and Black Players previous shows, including Bye, Bye Birdie, The Boy Friend, Seussical: The Musical, Annie, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Cinderella.

Stage director is George Cordes, who also directed Millie and Cinderella, has built all the sets for the Red and Black Players, and handles sound. Choreographer for Back to the 80s is the talented Emily Madan, recent theater graduate of SUNY Plattsburgh and a director for Adiron-

Other cast members include Danielle LaMere played by Cyndi Gibson, Abigail Sexton played

Mirror, Never Gonna Give You Up, Total Eclipse of the Heart, You Give Love a Bad Name, Centerfold, Love Shack, I’ve Had the Time of My Life, and many more!

Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and are available at the door.

Saranac Lake High School thespians to deliver the tale of ‘Once Upon a Mattress’ SARANAC LAKE — Students at Saranac Lake High School will bring the beloved children’s tale the of a princess and her slumber on a pea in the tale of Once Upon a Mattress to the stage.

The story is an adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Princess and the Pea with music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer and book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer.

Performances will be on March 14, 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the Saranac Lake High School auditorium, 79 Canaras Ave. The play is directed by Matt Sorensen, with music direction by Drew Benware, choreography by Katy Van Anden & Gabrielle Patnode and costume design by Kent Streed.

If you thought you knew the story of 'The Princess and The Pea,' you may be in for a surprise. For instance, Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab. Or that Lady Larken's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or, in fact, it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rol-

licking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans.

Chances are audience members will never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

A chance to be heard

T

he state of New York and Gov. Andrew Cuomo could take a lesson from the Essex County Board of Supervisors regarding how to pass legislation.

On March 11, the board held a special SAFE Act Task Force Committee meeting where the new state law banning certain assault weapons and placing restrictions on magazine capacities, among other things, was discussed.

Three versions of a resolution that criticizes the state for the way it handled the passage of the law were presented, one asking for the measure to be amended and two calling for an outright repeal of the law. After discussion and debate, the committee voted to put forward a resolution to the full Board of Supervisors that will call for the repeal of the SAFE Act. That vote will take place at a special meeting called

by Board Chair Randy Douglas Monday, March 18, at 6 p.m. in the county supervisors chambers in Elizabethtown.

What Essex County has done is exactly what opponents of the law have been slamming the state for not doing, taking their time and getting feedback from their constituents on how to address the matter.

Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley, who motioned for amendment of the SAFE Act, printed out the law and presented it to members of her town, asking them to check what they liked in the law and cross out what they did not. Gerald Morrow of Chesterfield, who chairs the committee, talked with residents and local sporting organizations. Douglas, who confesses that he does not own a gun, said he has learned more than he ever wanted to about them and the subject of gun violence in relation to this highly-debated law.

When North Hudson's Ronald Moore presented the board with a resolution backing the New York State Sheriff's Association and their stance on the matter, Morrow said that not only did the county need their own voice, they needed to do it the right way.

“If we pass something without taking the time to look at it and study it, then we are no better than the state legislature who did exactly that with this law,” Morrow said.

Residents of Essex County will now get their chance to be heard on the subject during a hearing at 6 p.m. next Monday at the board of supervisor ’s chambers in Elizabethtown. This is your chance to have your opinion added to the more than 40 counties that have already passed meas-

ures calling for the repeal of the SAFE Act. Essex County may be one of the last to act, but to criticize that is hypocritical if you also criticize those at the state who made the rush to judgement to pass the act in the first place. It would be safe to say that the first resolutions to repeal the law may have been knee-jerk reactions to a knee-jerk reaction, and two wrongs do not make a right.

In the same token, it would be hypocritical if you have been one crying for a voice in this matter and then neglect to take advantage of the opportunity the board of supervisors is affording. We encourage all sides to make their voices known, while sticking to our belief that the SAFE Act was indeed a rush to judgement that was created more for potential political gain than for the interest of public safety. As Sheriff Richard Cutting said, “the SAFE Act would not have prevented Sandy Hook, Columbine or any of these other massacres.”

We commend the board of supervisors for the approach they have taken to this topic. With that, let us offer a suggestion.

The county has a budget committee that is already looking to make cuts to help save county taxpayers in the 2014 budget. It’s good to see the board starting early focusing on the budget and the anticipated shortfall in the coming year, but we suggest that the board combines that with more opportunities for the public to comment on the process.

Supervisors should consider holding more meetings in the evening — like they plan to do with the SAFE Act hearing — when more residents are available to attend. There is already a buzz in the county concerning the potential sale of the county fairgrounds in Westport, and it would be good to have a public hearing on the matter, if it gets to that point, before any decision is made.

Then it will be up to the residents to take advantage of the chance to have their voice heard because, as the SAFE Act has proven, silence is not always golden.

Leadership starts at the top

I

’m not a CPA, accountant or lawyer. I have no degree in political science or economics. I’m a high school grad with a couple years of college. I have no insider information on the inner workings of the federal government, but I’ve been challenged by several readers to be more specific in my column regarding sequestration and offer possible suggestions on how we go about easing the pain of reducing Uncle Sam’s spending by $85 billion.

We all know there isn’t one single dollar the government spends that someone doesn’t think is critically important. But to set the stage for what we are up against, I urge you go watch this simple dramatization of our nation’s current $16 trillion+ debt at demonocracy.info. We must reduce our spending.

Let me start by stating the obvious. I don’t know of one executive administrator who is responsible for managing anything who doesn’t want to control the checkbook and have some say in income generation. I can only come to one conclusion as to why the president isn’t coming forth with a plan. He wants nothing to do with leading the nation. His goal seems to be cuts must hurt, so make the cuts felt and then blame others for the pain. He also seems reluctant to put forth his own cost-saving solutions therefore avoiding any personal blame. This is the exact opposite of what a president should do. Harry Truman said it best: “The buck stops here.”

With the limited information available to me, here are my recommendations if I were in the Oval Office. As a sign of good faith and leadership, we start at the White House. The best estimates I can find tell me it costs about $1.7 billion to run the White House. I’d immediately direct the WH staff, including the presidency, to trim 10 percent from all salaries associated with WH personnel, curtail all extraneous travel, including Air Force One and cut our operational spending by the same amount. I urge Congress to do the same 10 percent cut, and together we can lead the nation to a $1 billion savings. Leadership starts with the leaders.

Next I’d turn to the nearly three million federal employees. We can either cut positions or we can all agree to take a 5 percent across-the-board pay deduction.

It will save the American public about

$10 billion, and everyone gets to keep their jobs. I’m suggesting another $1 billion saved from Dan Alexander frugal efThoughts from forts by Behind the Pressline cutting things like conference costs to office supplies and travel.

In 2010, the Simpson Bolwes National Commission to reform government brought forth a plan that was not acted upon. I would instruct the heads of our 22 civilian and military departments to look at those recommendations and surgically trim their expenditure, not to include any staff reductions, but to trim 2 percent from other expenses, which should save about $48 billion.

Over the years, we’ve repeatedly piled programs on top of pre-existing ones. We should begin today to identify these programs with an estimated goal of cutting $25 billion through the elimination of and merging of certain agencies.

We must put Social Security and Medicare at the top of our lists to ensure their sustainability while reducing costs.

Last year, more than two dozen Fortune 500 companies paid zero federal income tax, short changing the country by $20 billion. We must put an end to corporate welfare and preferential tax deals.

Every American over age 18 must have a financial stake in our country, and I would propose a minimum citizen tax of $250 or about $4.80 a week. For each person over 18 years of age, if you’ve paid nothing into the system, the government will deduct $250 from your refund (benefit) check. That will raise $28 billion.

With all Americans citizens and corporations now having a vested interest in our country, we can create a new culture to rein in costs and once again create a promising opportunity to the future generations.

Art awards Continued from page 1 “It’s money from the state, but they’re sending it to local art centers to distribute,” Recchia said.

The awards were divided into three categories: community arts, arts education and individual artist.

Recchia said seminars were held to help applicants correctly fill out the necessary paperwork, and a volunteer-comprised panel of representatives from the three counties voted on whom to give the money to.

Community arts applicants, of which seven were selected, could request up to $5,000, arts education applicants, of which 19 were selected, could request up to $2,400, and individual arts applicants, of which one was selected, had a flat amount of $2,500.

The grant winners were divided into several categories, with some getting most or all of what they requested and others getting a percentage of their requested amount.

Five percent of the grant also had to be set aside in case of an appeal, which can occur if a clerical error can be proved.

The grants awarded spanned a multitude of artistic disciplines, including theatre, music and painting.

“I live in Jay, in Essex County, and I’m just

thrilled to see artists from all three counties getting together,” Recchia said. “I think it’s great for us to partner, because now that we’re all under one umbrella we can do that.”

The ceremony not only brought artists together, it also brought in two representatives of New York state government—Assemblywoman Janet Duprey and Congressman Bill Owens.

Duprey lauded the efforts of different arts groups around the region, and promised to contact the State Council on the Arts and the State Comptroller ’s Office to figure out how to expedite the process. ”It’s the volunteers who are getting this done,” Duprey said. “Every time I stop at one of these great exhibits, not only do I realize that we have amazing volunteers, but we also have incredible talent at every level.”

Owens, whose daughter-in-law, Emily Owens, is the Education Coordinator at the NCCCA, agreed with Duprey.

“The people are coming together to accomplish good things for the rest of us,” Owens said. “This is one of those good things. We are establishing an arts center that every community needs and I look forward to continuing to support this endeavor.”

Upper Jay jam Continued from page 1 So she contacted Grimmette, and devised a way to help.

On Sunday, March 17, from 2 to 6 p.m., January Jams will return to the Upper Jay Arts Center, but this time, it’s for a cause.

There is a $5 suggested donation, with all proceeds going toward Reason 2 Smile.

Musicians of all skill levels can sign up and perform and, halfway through the event, Grimmette will give a presentation to explain what Reason 2 Smile is all about.

“I think in order to appreciate what you do have, it’s important to see what other people don’t have,” Pepe said.

“Even if people can’t give much money, I think it would be good to see her presentation anyway, just to know.”

Grimmette started Reason 2 Smile in 2007, shortly after volunteering at Jambo Jipya

TACKA UCTION

MacNeil’s Continued from page 1 2012 marked 25 years for the Sydney Mines, Cape Breton Island based family group, the Barra MacNeils, in an outstanding recording and touring career.

As a group, the six MacNeil siblings are widely regarded as one of the greatest live concert acts in the Celtic world. Hailing from Sydney Mines, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, the family group is deeply rooted in Celtic music, culture, dance, language and history. Their numerous critically acclaimed recordings have included their own original songs as well as tried and true standards, both instrumental and vocal.

The Barra MacNeils live concert experience brings so much more to the stage than most live acts ever can. Multiple lead vocalists, beautiful sibling harmonies, top drawer instrumental prowess on a wide variety of acoustic, stringed, percussion and wind instruments blended with dancing, storytelling, Gaelic songs and a journey through an ancient culture; it is family entertainment at its highest level.

Steeped in Cape Breton tradition with strong Celtic roots and musical artistry, this

If You Go: What: Jam for a Cause

diverse and talented family group continues to wow audiences around the world with their captivating vocals, harmonies and extraordinary musicianship.

Multi-award winners, the Barra MacNeils have released no less than 14 recordings (with 2 new ones on the way this year) including: In Concert (2009), In Session (2009), 20th Anniversary Collection (2007), Christmas Album II (2006), All At Once (2005), Racket In the Attic (2002), Christmas Album (1999), Until Now (1997), The Question(1995), The Traditional Album (1994), Closer to Paradise (1993 - Certified Gold in Canada), Timeframe (1990), Rock in the Stream (1989), The Barra MacNeils (1986). In 2001, they released a DVD titled Cape Breton Christmas incorporating music from their live Christmas Concert Special (as seen on television), plus a visit to Cape Breton, interviews with the Barra MacNeils home at Christmas and music videos.

The Barra MacNeils will continue to do what they love to do best, and that is playing their music for the fans. This incredibly talented family group will tour Canada, the US and Europe to spread their distinctive brand of Celtic flavour around the world.

opening her own school.

In 2004, Jambo Jipya was created.

The school provides everything for the kids— school uniform, shoes, supplies, two meals a day and health care.

Grimmette taught first graders there for 10 weeks in 2007, and realized that the school would have to close if it didn’t start receiving some funding.

“The biggest thing was, I developed a really close relationship with the kids in a very short period of time,” Grimmette said.

One of those relationships was with a little boy who lived in a mud hut with his brother and grandmother, who made money producing and selling an illegal alcoholic drink to locals.

Grimmette would visit the family on the weekends, and never forgot what she saw there.

The hut had a mud floor and its roof was made of coconut branches and leaves. There was broken glass everywhere.

“If I could know it was just this family living like this,

Like Pepe, the experience left her with memories that inspired her to take action.

“She (Pepe) has a real personal connection to that country,” Grimmette said. “She said she was very excited to soak things up, which was interesting for me to hear—for a kid that young to have experiences like that.”

In Kenya there are free public schools, but children must have a school uniform and books to attend, requirements many families simply cannot afford.

A Kenyan woman named Christine Mwende began helping local families send their children to school, but soon realized that she could help a lot more people by

maybe I could wrap my head around it and move on,” Grimmette said. “But I know it’s not. As I’m driving I’m seeing more mud huts and little kids with hardly any clothes in, walking in bare feet, and I know this is happening to hundreds and thousands of kids.”

Grimmette couldn’t just walk away.

She now does a lot of presentations, telling stories and showing videos and photographs to show others the conditions she witnessed first hand.

She encourages people to help others through Reason 2 Smile and informs them that, for $18 a month, they can cover all associated costs of education—food, health care, clothing and two meals a day—for a child.

The organization recently began helping another school in Nairobi, too, and also provides aid to an orphanage.

Once a year, Grimmette visits Africa to meet with the students and their teachers, and once a year she receives letters from the children whose lives she’s impacting.

“They realize that every little thing that is given to them is because someone else cares about them,” Grimmette said.

Looking forward, Grimmette also said there will be a World Music Festival at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts on May 4 to benefit Reason 2 Smile.

The all-ages event will include workshops, a Kenyan marketplace, and different kinds of dance and music from all over the world, including clogging, Irish step dance, zumba, African drumming and Yoga.

The UVM Topcats, an allmale acappella group, and the reggae band Robanic, from Saratoga Springs, will also perform. For more information, visit reason2smile.org.

Wild-land fire adventures Ancient anglers T

he recent thaw has raised the expectations of many local anglers for another early ice out, as any of the region’s lakes and ponds were free and clear of ice for the opening day of trout season on April 1st.

On several smaller pond in the area, I’ve already observed the telltale spider webbing that usually occurs as the ice begins breaking up.

And on larger waters, the areas around the inlets and outlets the open water has been growing larger every day.

I've already begun sorting through my gear, checking the hook points and respooling the lines.

I've also been polishing my Wabblers, Christmas Trees as well as the Sutton and Hinkley spoons. I use fine emery cloth and steel wool for this duty, and I seal the deal with a light spray of clear nail polish, that is mixed with a light solvent.

In the early season, I believe the fish are attracted to more flash and sparkle, than they are later in the season.

There is no doubt the fishing bug has already bit already. I've already been scouring the old maps, and searching through old journals in anticipation.

And I noticed while passing through Tupper Lake last week, the Bog River Falls inlet was already opened up for nearly a half mile down the lake, and there was at least one ice shanty in precarious position.

As per NYSDEC regulations, all ice shanties must be removed from the lakes and ponds by March 15. According to the Department of Environmental Conservation, owners who fail to remove structures by that date can be ticketed and fined $100. That’s not really a very pleasant way to end the hardwater season.

Old anglers never die, they just loose their tackle There is a popular saying that, “old anglers never die, they just smell that way.” While that may be true in some cases, the remains of fishermen that were recent discovered off the coast of California, raised more than a sniff.

In fact, when a team of archeologists from the University of Oregon began poking around in the caves, cliffs and other likely areas of human settlement, what they discovered wasn't just old, it was ancient.

Their discovery did not include any old rusty hooks, or rotted wooden ships as they searched the islands of Santa

Rosa and San Miguel, which are part of the Channel Islands off the coast of California .

What they did find were more than four dozen midden mounds, which in an archeologist’s vernacular translates to a big pile of garbage. But as trash heaps go, this one was different. There was no plastic or tin foil. The trash they found was dated from between 10,000 and 12,000 years ago, and it wasn't all they found.

They also discovered chipped stone tools and animal bones which may be linked to the lifestyles of some of the earliest settlers in North America. Based on the evidence, the scientists now believe there may have been two distinct cultures that lived in North America at the time. One of which, the well known Clovis culture lived inland and hunted mammoths and other mammals.

For many years, archeologists considered a ‘clovis spurnpoint’, which was discovered in the 1920s near Clovis, New Mexico to be a remnant of the oldest culture in North America.

The Clovis culture was recognized for their distinct stone tools and fluted arrowheads, as well as for creating ivory and seashell ornaments. The fact they had shells gives rise to a theory they traded with coastal cultures.

However, some scientists believe the ancient cultures may have actually wintered on the islands where there was plenty of food, from both the ocean and the land.

Scientists scouring the island also found the remains of overwintering birds including Canada geese, snow geese, albatross and cormorants. But what astonished the scientists were finely crafted tools, including fishhooks and barbed spearpoints, which were surely used for fishing.

“The projectiles blew us away with finely knapped flintknapped points" claimed one team member ,”Such tools have only been found at more recent sites,” The barbed points were markedly different from those previously found at Clovis sites, which tend to be simple, fluted points. This discovery hints at the coexistence of two separate groups of people in North America at the time.

The discovery may provide evidence that there were actually two native cultures in North America at the time, one of which may have been a seafaring nation that arrived in North America via the oceans, and the other arriving via a land bridge that some scientists believe connected North America to Siberia.

And while it is still far too soon to know for sure, the fact that there were seafaring anglers plying the waters and casting lines nearly 12,000 to 13,000 years ago should give hope to most Adirondack anglers, who may only have to wait a few weeks to get back on the waters.

I often wonder what the archeologists will uncover when they discover the 'midden mounds' surrounding the leantos of the Adirondacks. I'm always amazed to find an old Utica Club or Schlitz beer bottle under a leanto floor, and I can only guess how many similar bottles are buried in the nearby lake bottoms.

re you are getting bored with your life? Do you like the outdoors and hard physical activity? Does the smell of a campfire get your juices flowing? If you answered yes to all of the above, I have a career opportunity for you.

Wildfires have always been a part of the natural world.

Prairie fires renewed the grassland ecology, forest fires

By Rich Redman in the west kept the woods thinned and park-like. Many of the fire dependent species such as the giant sequoias kept reproducing due to the serotinous cones opening up and dropping out their seeds due to the heat of the fires. Native Americans used fire to create habitat for hunting wildlife.

Due to extensive logging, coal fired locomotives and a dry summer period, wildfires spread throughout the nation in 1910. As a result, with disregard for the natural ecology of fire, and of course political overreaction, a policy of extinguishing forest fires was implemented, and the Forest Fire Service was created.

Over time, the effect of the policy was the buildup of fuels in many western forests. Fuels of another sort also built up, housing was spreading out from cities and deep into the western forests. Combined, we now have what is known as the wild-land/urban interface.

If you’ve ever watched the news reporting extensive forest fires, saw the flames and fire whorls ripping into the air like tornados and said to yourself, “man, I would like to be there,” then training for a wild-land firefighter is for you.

The Department of Environmental Conservation has a training program to get you started in this intense career. You will need to take the S-130 and S-190 courses and pass what is called a Work Capacity Test (WCP). This is a physical endurance test which requires you to carry a 45 pound pack for 3 miles in less than 45 minutes.

The S-130 Firefighter Training course covers safety, tools, fire suppression, fire shelters, and the watch out situations, a firefighter needs to know and keep in mind at all times.

The S-190 course, Wild-land Fire Behavior, covers weather, fuels, and topography and a fires reaction to these influences.

Once you’ve completed these basics, including the arduous level pack test, you can move up to other classes offered at the DEC training center on Long Island. Advanced courses are in portable pump operations, wildfire chainsaw use, (S-212) engine operations etc. After completing the classes you can be placed on a list of eligible firefighters available for out-of-state fire duty. A tour of duty is 16 days straight, one day on each end for travel and 14 straight days of ground pounding grunt fire line work clearing fire lines, moving brush, and cutting trees, along with fire suppression.

The Albany Pine Bush also offers training and yearly refresher classes to keep you certified as a wild-land firefighter. Once you become certified, you are eligible to be a volunteer at the Pine Bush for wildlife habitat restoration work, where they have prescribed fires for vegetation control.

They plant warm season grasses and lupines on burned off sites for grassland birds and the karner blue butterflies.

If working on a fire line doing fire suppression activities gets you going, and you need a little wild-land fire adventure, call the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation or the Albany Pine Bush for training information, and refresher dates. The phone numbers are, NYS-DEC -4028839 and the Albany Pine Bush -456-0655.

Conversations

Essex County to vote on SAFE Act The Essex County Board of Supervisors Safe Act subcommittee met Monday, March 11 to review the controversial gun act. The committee composed of Chairman Gerald Morrow, Tom Scozzafava, Margaret Bartley and Ron Moore met with other supervisors sitting in to discuss resolutions to repeal or to amend the Safe Act. All members agreed that there are parts of the bill they agree with and sections that need to be taken out. Margaret Bartley’s resolution was in favor of amending the law, while both resolutions put forth

by Morrow and Moore were in favor of outright repealing the law based on the Constitutionality and infringement of 2nd Amendment rights. All of the supervisors and any members of the public were invited to speak, Mr. Morrow stating “we want an open forum where the people decide, no closed door policy making”. The meeting was very open and the crowed thanked the supervisors for the transparency.

The final resolution will go before the full Board of Supervisors at a special meeting March 18 at 6 pm to allow a broader participation in the process. Board Chairman Randy Douglas was thanked by the supervisors for setting up this important meeting.

Last spring, a vast majority of the local lakes and ponds were devoid of ice by the April 1 trout season opener. Many anglers are hoping for a similar early start this spring.

Rich Redman is a retired District Conservationist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and an avid outdoorsman. His column will appear regularly. He may be reached at rangeric@nycap.rr.com.
