ASKING THEIR REP

ELIZABETHTOWN

Sheriff seeks hiring freeze exemption

County officials sound off on Hacker

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Stating that the process could take too long if it had to go through committee, Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting sought and received a preliminary exemption from the Essex County hiring freeze policy.

Cutting asked that his office be considered in the same class as the Horace Nye Nursing Home when it came to hiring, meaning he would not have to go through committee review before seeking to fill a position. As part of the 2013 budget talks, supervisors resolved to have all hiring requests come through committee to be approved.

Cutting said during the Jan. 14 Public Safety Committee meeting that his request had to do with the fact that many of his positions in corrections are under state mandate to be filled.

“If I lost an officer tomorrow, I would have to wait until next month for committee and then for Ways and Means and the full board,” Cutting said.

“That creates an overtime situation while I am waiting for the full board to make its decision. With the hiring freeze, a sixweek period could very well be turned into 12.”

Cutting said that the department is currently down four positions, which were being covered in-house.

“If we are a person down, then I will bring in from overtime because I am not going to jeopardize safety,” he said.

PLATTSBURGH — Yoga is about forming a connection between the body, spirit and mind.

Different yoga styles utilize similar techniques to accomplish this, and Bridge Street Yoga Place will hold a day of free classes on Saturday, Jan. 26 so people can try them out.

The classes will include two different yoga techniques — hatha flow yoga and vinyasa flow yoga, and are suitable for all ages and skill

levels.

Nancy Rendinaro, owner of BSYP and a registered yoga instructor with the Yoga Alliance, will be leading the classes with her daughter, Emily, who is also a registered yoga instructor.

Rendinaro strives to make yoga accessible for everyone, so she tailors each class to what those present are looking for.

In hatha flow, each posture is held for 10 to 15 breaths and becomes a pose of meditation.

E L I Z A B E T H TO W N — A controversial move by a Ticonderoga company drew the ire of members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors.

During the Jan. 14 Economic Development Committee meeting, supervisors lashed out at the company, which recently announced it is using a state grant that was secured through the North Country Regional Economic Development Council to move from Ticonderoga to Queensbury.

“What disturbs me the most is to see that they received a grant from the state, and to pirate a company out of one con into another seems wrong,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “If you have a company that is located in one county and then to take state funds and move them 50 miles down the road into another county is just wrong.”

Board Chairman Randy Douglas, a member of the NCEDC, said he was shocked when he learned what the grant was going to be used for.

“I certainly never would have supported this if I knew that this were going to be the result,” Douglas said.

The committee is chaired

by Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney.

“It is wrong. It is extremely wrong,” she said.

“The IDA and the town have been working with them since 2011. Gary (Douglass, NCEDC co-chair) is fully aware and very upset about this as well. This situation is CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Painting perspective: Montreal artist Wayne Handley show at ROTA

By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com

Montreal artist Wayne Handley will bring about 25 of his paintings to ROTA Gallery in Plattsburgh Jan. 26.

Photo provided

PLATTSBURGH — On Saturday, Jan. 26, Montreal artist Wayne Handley will bring some perspective to ROTA Gallery in Plattsburgh.

The exhibit will feature about 25 of Handley’s city-street views, which were painted using acrylic paint, oil paint and water color.

Urban settings are not Handley’s first passion, though.

“My first love was sculpture,” Handley said. “Until about 10 years ago, that’s what I focused on—sculptures and marionettes.”

Handley began straying from his human-form-inspired artwork so he could focus on perspective.

His subjects include cities that are close to the Canadian border, like Ottawa, Edmundston and Montreal in Canada and Madawaska in Maine.

The first step in Handley’s painting process is to visit the city and take photographs.

Next, he visits his studio and collects the supplies he will need before returning to the location to paint it.

Back at the studio he will reference the photographs to see if details need to be added to the painting, and if they do he will return to the city to complete the piece.

“The photo is a two-dimensional object,” Handley said. “ In actuality, you would just be painting the photo instead

Hospice to host workshop

ELIZABETHTOWN — A caregiver training, which will be open to the public and free of charge, will be held in the Elizabethtown Community Hospital’s conference room on Feb. 7, at 6 p.m. This is not a support group but a general training for caregivers covering: General Caregiver Insight, Mouth Care, Skin Care, Bathing, Making An Occupied Bed, Positioning In

of painting the scene. When you’re painting a city scene, that’s a three-dimensional object in front of you.”

Interestingly enough, there is one aspect of city life that Handley’s newer paintings don’t contain—people.

The exclusion seems strange, especially considering the focus of his previous work.

“One of my goals was to focus on the perspective—drawing the buildings and the landscapes,” Handley said. “I’ve already perfected the human element of my drawing ability.”

The exhibition is a part of another of Handley’s goals to do a traveling show that transcends the border between the U.S. and Canada.

He recently had a show in Ottawa and will be showing some of the paintings from his show at ROTA at Longueuil, which is just across the St. Lawrence River from Montreal.

Handley said he would like to someday paint Plattsburgh and Burlington, and that he hopes to have another show in Plattsburgh this summer.

In the meantime, Handley’s work can be seen at the opening reception for his show at ROTA on Saturday, Jan. 26 at 5 p.m.

The exhibition will run through Feb. 11, and the gallery, located at 50 Margaret St. in Plattsburgh, is open daily from noon until 5 p.m.

All of Handley’s paintings are for sale.

Cuomo proposes Adirondack Challenge whitewater rafting event Will it be in North Creek?

Gore Chamber hopes so

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo Wednesday, Jan. 9 proposed launching the Adirondack Challenge, a national whitewater rafting competition in the North Country, during his annual State of the State address.

But will it be held in the whitewater capital of the Adirondacks — the stretch of Indian River and the Hudson River between Indian Lake and North Creek? Nobody’s talking yet.

It’s not clear where in the North Country the Adirondack Challenge would be held; however, there is a possibility that it could be held on the Hudson River around North Creek. Several calls to the governor ’s press office were not returned.

Yet, Cuomo and friends did take a whitewater rafting trip down the Hudson River with the Wevertown-based Beaver Brook Outfitters in 2012.

“As we were guiding Governor Cuomo down the Hudson this past fall, there was much discussion about the rafting challenge and other ways to bring more tourism to our area,” wrote Beaver Brook Outfitters’ Bone Basye in an email. “This is a great and positive thing for all of us.”

Haskins to perform WESTPORT — Grammy award-winner and Westport trumpeter Taylor Haskins takes center stage at Elizabethtown’s Hand House Parlor as part of the Piano by Nature concert series. He will be joined by acclaimed pianist and long-time collaborator Mark Shilansky and Robinson Morse on bass, performing an especially rich and eclectic range of jazz standards and originals. This trio will appear Saturday, Feb. 2 at 7p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 3, at 3 p.m.

Reservations due are encouraged to limited venue seating. For more concert and tick-

Beaver Brook Outfitters owner Pete Burns said he, Bayse and three other licensed guides took Cuomo, his friends and a security detail down the Indian and Hudson Rivers for an overnight trip on Sept. 8-9, 2012 using three rafts for passengers and two for equipment. Burns said he'd like to see the Adirondack Challenge in his neck of the woods.

“Bring it on,” Burns said.

Gore Mountain Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Pat Hamilton had not heard about the Adirondack Challenge, but she said North Creek would welcome the new event.

“We’re all hoping that it’s here,” Hamilton said. “We think it’s the logical choice. We know he came up last year, and I think he had an enjoyable trip from what Pete said.

And so maybe that’s what prompted him to think about this type of an event is that he had such an enjoyable trip.”

Logistics, however, could be a problem, as the Lake Abanakee dam releases water to create a “bubble” for rafters to ride down the Indian and Hudson rivers, and the water release only lasts for two hours. The question remains, will that be long enough for this type of competition?

Although the governor hinted that a date was already set, nobody could be reached to explain any details about the competition.

Cuomo made light of the rafting competi-

tion during his PowerPoint presentation while giving the speech, showing himself in a white raft with the state seal while handling a motor, plus other notables — including New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg — in rafts.

“I hope the challenge is accepted, and I hope it is successful,” Cuomo said.

Warren County Tourism Director Kate Johnson said she didn’t have any details about the competition, but she remembered the governor mentioning it when he held a media day in September to show off the Boreas Ponds prior to the state’s imminent acquisition of the former Finch, Pruyn lands.

Adirondack Regional Tourism Council Executive Director Ron Ofner also had no details on the challenge or other parts of the governor ’s speech.

While state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) or her staff didn’t have specifics, she said she would like to compete on Adirondack whitewater.

“I look forward to recruiting a team of colleagues to compete in the Adirondack whitewater rafting challenge!” Little said.

Cuomo is no stranger to the Adirondacks.

He recently spent a vacation in the Tri-Lakes region around Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. He frequently visits the region with his family, including live-in girlfriend Sandra Lee, the Food Network star.

“It’s a reflection of the governor ’s real in-

or by appointment. Hudson can be reached at (518) 524-6798.

Fee schedules and applications will be available outside the Supervisor ’s Office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on the Town of Jay website, townofjay.com, under Government Departments and Building & Code Enforcement.

Code enforcement hours change Au SABLE FORKS — Town of Jay Code Enforcement Officer, John Hudson, would like to announce a change in office hours starting Feb. 6, at the Town of Jay Community Center, located on 11 School Lane, Au Sable Forks, N.Y. 12912; 2nd Floor.

The new code enforcement hours will be held on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. until noon

Exemption deadline set WESTPORT — The Essex County Soil and Water Conservation District will be assisting agricultural landowners with completion of Soil Group worksheets for agricultural ex-

terest in the Adirondacks as a recreational and tourism center for the state and an opportunity to get officials here to appreciate what the region has to offer,” said Dan MacEntee, spokesman for Sen. Little.

Market NY to Focus on Upstate Economic Development Below is part of the text of the governor ’s economic development proposal in his Jan. 9 speech.

•The Adirondack Challenge: Noting that New York has some of the best whitewater rafting in the nation, the Governor proposed a national whitewater rafting competition to be held in the North Country.

•$5 Million Advertising Competition: A $5 million advertising competition for the best regional marketing plans will be launched, incentivizing counties to work together to forge regional synergies.

•Taste-NY: The Taste-NY initiative will coordinate around promoting New York products, including creating duty-free "Taste-NY" stores across the state to promote New York grown and produced products.

•Destination Resorts/Casino Gaming: To increase upstate tourism, the Governor proposed a casino gaming plan that would locate up to three casinos in Upstate New York.

Under the proposal, casino gaming revenue will be split 90 percent for education and 10 percent for local property tax relief. emption.

The exemptions are for qualifying landowners earning $10,000 or more per year from their agricultural operation.

Landowners making changes to current qualifying parcels need to have updated worksheets for acreage and ownership changes.

Agricultural landowners should first contact their local assessor to determine eligibility. Please contact the District office at 9628225 or email at essexswcd@westelcom.com for a new or updated Soil Group worksheet before the March 1 deadline.

ere’s a reminder for those seeking a cozy reading spot on a dark winter afternoon or evening that we’ve got two outstanding libraries serving our community, one in Westport and one in Wadhams. The Westport Library Association is open Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Wadhams Free Library is open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.

Both libraries also usually have a Story Hour for young children on Thursday mornings, Westport at 11 a.m. and Wadhams at 10 a.m. Both also provide free computer internet service as well, which makes them a valuable resource for those who don’t have such access on their own.

And the Westport Library just purchased two Kindle ebook readers, which are available to check out for anyone with a Westport Library card. If you’ve been wondering what ebooks are all about but have hesitated to take the plunge of purchasing one, this is a great way to get your feet wet.

Singing Valentine’s set PLATTSBURGH — The Champlain Valley Sweet Adelines will be delivering Singing Valentines in Plattsburgh and the surrounding area on Thursday, February 14. The chorus members will go to your home, place of work, restaurant or anywhere to sing to your loved one or friend in four-part harmony. To arrange for a Valentine surprise that will always be remembered, contact Esther at 518561-3715.

Electronics help offered ELIZABETHTOWN — Tech 101, an electronics help group, will be offered by the Elizabethtown Social Center on the fourth Thursday each month through the winter. Perfect for those who received a new computer, a new iPad, or any other new technology “toy” in December or who have questions about how to use home technology. Ken Hughes, former ELCS principal and current in-home IT consultant, will help you have more fun with your tech toys. Tech 101 will be held on Jan. 24, Feb. 28, and March 28, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Please contact the Social Center for more information at 873-6408 or info@elizabehtownsocialcenter.org.

Another thing both libraries have in common is outstanding and friendly staff, with Dan Van Olpen and Liz Rapalee as directors of Westport and Wadhams respectively. If these two libraries aren’t a big part of your family’s life currently, Dan and Liz would both be very happy to help them become so.

In addition to offering music lessons in her studio at the former Hamilton building here in town, Westport music educator Rose Chancler also runs Piano by Nature, which “was founded to bring professional and thought-provoking performances to the North Country and to make available creative educational programs to local area schools.” The performances take place in Elizabethtown’s historic Hand House, and I’ve featured them regularly in this space.

The next concerts in the current series will take place on Saturday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, February 3 at 3 p.m. when Westport resident and Grammy-winning trumpeter Taylor Haskins will appear with Mark Shilansky on piano and Robinson Morse on bass. There’s limited seating, so Rose encourages readers to call ahead at 962-2949 for tickets and reservations.

Missing Children’s tourney seeks teams Au SABLE FORKS — The 24th Annual Missing Children’s Basketball Tournament for area fifth and sixth grade boys and girls basketball teams will be held Thursday, March 7 through Sunday, March 10.

This double elimination tournament is sponsored by the Jay/Black Brook Youth Commission, the Au Sable Forks Youth Boosters and Holy Name School.

Coaches who wish to take advantage of being given returning team preference need to respond before Jan. 25, when team slots will be open to all.

The entrance fee for this tournament is $150 and must be received prior to the tournament along with your team roster.

Please, no All Star teams.

The Whallonsburg Grange’s series on American agriculture kicks off next Tuesday, Jan. 29, with a talk by SUNY Plattsburgh professor David Franzi on the geological origins of the Champlain Valley.

Until relatively recently this whole area was covered for many millennia with up to a mile of ice, the weight of which pushed underlying rock downward forming a basin that filled with seawater after the ice retreated. Imagine whales and seals swimming around between the Adirondacks and Green Mountains, albeit in very cold water.

As the land rebounded and lifted, the sea shrank and disappeared about 8,000 years ago, leaving us with more or less the current landscape. It seems strange that bedrock can be pressed down and even stranger that it can bounce back up again, but that’s the story here. A word you may hear at the lecture I’d never encountered before reading up on this subject is varve, which is a layer or layers of sediment deposited in still water, over the course of one year. It’s a Swedish word that means layer, and even my computer spell checker is unfamiliar with it.

I

had a wonderful experience this past week as I read the book "Waiting for Jo" by Rita Devan of Willsboro. This is a wonderful collection of her memories of growing up in the North Country in the 30, 40 & 50's. It prompted me to think back at my experiences during these same years, great memories and so different from today. If you get the chance to read her book I am sure you will also enjoy a journey back in your early days.

I also had some unexpected guest this past week, a good dozen of more wild turkeys durning the January thaw and the snow was mostly gone, they turned up in my back yard. Boy, they are big birds and I also learned that the local Fish & Game club was hosting a turkey shoot open to the interested public, I could have also offered a real turkey shoot here on the same street.

Happy to meet the new drugist at the Willsboro Pharmacy, he is Preston J. Sellars, he is most helpful and always glad to offer needed services. It is great that these services are available locally. Welcome to Preston.

Another big annual event to mark on your calendar is that of the Friends of

Paine Library will once again have their big Valentine Chocolate tasting event on the Sunday before Valentine's Day from 2 to 4 p.m. This is a fund raising event for them so there is a $5 charge, but you chocolate lovers can sample to your hearts content, yum, yum.

A new Yoga group is once again starting up and will be held at the Willsboro United Methodist Church on Jan. 28 from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m. These are free just bring your yoga mat or a blanket and will be under the direction of Tony D'Angelo.

Life still has much to offer here even in the cold of the winter, check the date calendars in the newspapers and access channel on T.V. They include movies, lectures, banjo lessons, storytime for young children, youth tubing event, special meals, cold weather does not keep us in the North Country homebound, so check things out and join what pleases you.

he NCSPCA would like to remind you that it's not too late to take advantage of the January White Sale!

Until the end of the month, you can adopt any of our many wonderful white felines, or any cats with white markings, for only $15 - which is 75 percent off our regular adoption fee. If you are in need of a furry, purring lap warmer to get you through this chilly Winter weather, this is a purr-fect time to adopt a cat.

Our featured pet this week is one of our January White Sale cats. Pete is a gorgeous, Maine Coon/Tabby mix who has a thick, plush coat of grey and white and a huge, fluffy tail. Like most Maine Coons, Pete is intelligent and personable, although he is a little on the shy side when he first meets someone new. This adolescent cat still has plenty of kitten in him, and is hoping to go to a home where he can get plenty of attention. He will need a home where

he is brushed and groomed on a regular basis to help keep his thick fur looking its best. If you are looking for a larger cat who scores high points in both personality and looks, Pete is the feline for you! Why not stop by and meet him today?

Fish stocking may be down in 2013 due to illness at state hatchery

By Keith Lobdell

Changing climate, tourism

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Due to disease at one of the key fish hatcheries in New York state, Essex County may see fewer trout being stocked into its lakes and rivers.

Essex County Fish Hatchery manager Steve LaMere told members of the Economic Development Committee Jan. 14 that there could be as much as a 20 percent reduction in the number of brown trout and brook trout being stocked in the region due to the outbreak.

“We are hopeful that this will be a one-year lull,” LaMere said. “Here we have always tested negative in terms of certified diseases. If you see a decrease in state fish stocking, that is not on our part, it is on the state’s part.”

ELIZABETHTOWN — A plan to bring early voting to the state of New York could spell financial hardship for many counties, including Essex.

Board of Elections Commissioners Robert Pell-deChame and Derinda Sherman spoke about the state’s plan to adopt early voting, possibly starting this year, with members of the Board of Supervisors during its Jan. 14 Public Safety Committee meeting.

Early voting would allow registered voters to vote up to seven days in advance of a primary election and 14 days before the gen-

Sheriff’s report LEWIS — The following is a summary of the activities of the Essex County Sheriff's Office for the month of December: Revenue generated by jail: $ 82,285.44; to date: $ 1,220,753.88 Inmate count levels: Average – 69, High – 74, Low – 62 Federal Inmate Count: Average – 19, High 23, Low 15

eral election, with each county required to designate at least five polling places that would be open for early voting.

Pell-deChame said that the biggest concern was economic.

“Our man concern is that we have not budgeted for this, and they are looking to bring this to the state as early as this year,” he said.

Pell-deChame also said that the board would have to sit down and discuss where they would place the five early voting locations around the county.

Early voting resolutions are currently before the state Assembly (Bill No. 689) and Senate (Bill 1461).

Other county inmate boarders: Average – 13, High 10, Low 6 Jail: Bookings – 53, Releases – 58 Civil monies handled: $ 66,071.42; $3,957.44 Revenue Through our in-house educational program, we had 4 inmates take their GED tests and passed this important tool in reestablishing themselves as viable members of our community.

“Clearly (Gov. Cuomo) has found a good spot in his heart for the Adirondacks,” he said. “He has talked about expanding marketing in the region and coming up with new events.

There are lot of good things that are putting us in a good place.”

LEWIS — The Town of Lewis held its monthly meeting Tuesday, Jan. 8, passing 33 resolutions that are part of the annual organizational process for the town.

Members of the board discussed activities of the Elizabethtown-Lewis Youth Commission, which is currently down two board members.

Supervisor David Blades said that the youth commission board is a needed conduit between the commission and the town board. He added that he is hoping they could find applicants for the positions that would be willing to join monthly meetings to help plan youth commission activities and events.

Those interested can contact the Lewis town hall at 8736777 or the Elizabethtown town hall at 873-6555.

The board also engaged in discussion concerning cell phone service. While there are towers located in Elizabethtown, at the Public Safety Building and near Mount Pokomoonshine, service in the hamlet proves to be a challenge. Blades said it is something that they have tried to address in the past without success, the board was going to start to look for new options in hopes to bring service to the hamlet.

Early voting could lead to red ink

ROOST Executive Director Jim McKenna spoke to members of the committee about winter tourism on a mid-January day where temperatures almost hit 50 degrees.

“Things are changing, and we have to really start thinking about that and what we are going to have to do it long term,” McKenna said. “We will have snow, but what the trends are saying is that it is going to be erratic. When it is in the 60s down in New York City, they are not going to be thinking about winter up here.”

Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey agreed.

“I think that it is important that we start looking at our area as a four-season model and not under just a winter model,” she said.

McKenna also responded to the recent State of the State address.

Cuomo’s gun law will do little to prevent further violence

W

e needed thoughtful debate in the wake of the Newtown and Webster tragedies about preventative measures to help thwart or lessen the severity of these type of incidents in the future.

We don’t need 30 round magazines to hunt deer or defend our homes.

What we didn’t need, however, was a governor preying on people’s emotions to push his agenda and further his political calling in the next presidential election.

And what we got was the latter.

What we got was a so-called “assault weapons” ban that overnight turned hundreds of thousands of law abiding, taxpaying gun owners into criminals.

How does turning law abiding citizens into criminals help fight crime?

What we got were subjective mental health provisions that will most likely scare people in need away from seeking help for fear their hunting rifles will be confiscated.

What we got was an intrusive ammunition tracking program that will have Big Brother closing in on the local 4-H shooting program because of the number of .22 rounds they expend in a weekend.

What we got was, in a word, ridiculous.

This law will do little to stop the type of mass shootings that prompted the legislation in the first place.

What it will do is allow president-elect Andrew Cuomo to stand at a podium in 2016 and tell the nation that he worked tirelessly to enact the “the toughest gun control law in the country.”

That’s what this is really about.

But at what expense?

At the expense of law abiding hunters, target shooters and other gun enthusiasts — a parting gift from Gov. Cuomo prior to leaving for Washington D.C. For those who have not read it — like half the legislators in Albany who were not afforded the time — the law redefines “assault weapons” as any semiautomatic rifle with a detachable clip and one “military style” feature. Those features run the gamut from a flash suppressor to a pistol grip to a thumb hole stock to a bayonet mount.

Essentially anything that makes the gun look “military-like” or ominous in the eyes of a downstate politician.

Drop the pistol grip and flash suppressor

from an AR15 and, voila, it’s no longer an assault weapon — perfectly legal under the governor’s law. Don’t you think gun manufacturers might take that into consideration?

Meanwhile, thumbhole stocks are pretty popular on many types of muzzleloaders and are used by shooting clubs to help steady aim.

Biathletes use modified .22 caliber rifles with pistol grip stocks and detachable clips (that hold 8 bullets, by the way). Who would have thought all along that these were “assault weapons”?

Interestingly, Saratoga Assemblyman James Tedisco, in his address to the Assembly prior to the vote, noted that more murders were committed in New York last year with blunt objects like hammers and rocks than the type of weapons banned by the new “assault weapons” law.

Out of 769 homicides in New York last year, only five were caused by the type of rifles banned by the new law, while 31 were caused by blunt objects.

Another 161 were committed with knives.

So, what exactly have we accomplished here? Legislators would have made a bigger impact on crime by banning rocks larger than a quarter and forcing the registration of kitchen knives and claw hammers.

The law gives citizens one year to register any “assault weapon” they may have in their home or they become non-law abiding citizens.

Get caught with one unregistered and it is a Class A Misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail. Do we really want to fill our jails with these people?

I am sure police agencies are loving the thought of enforcing this one.

Then, the law forces these same gun owners to recertify registered guns as well as pistol permits every five years and there is sure to be a fee attached to doing so.

Have any type of run-in with the law, even a misdemeanor, and the state can then confiscate your guns and deny your recertifications.

What we needed was to come together as a society and rationally discuss preventative measures that might stop these atrocities.

What we got was a law rushed through in the 11th hour that is more about protecting the destiny of politicians than people.

Creating a College Culture Nationwide: Big Vision in a Small Town

By Rick Dalton

I

magine this: You’re a 16-year-old high school student scraping by with a C average. Your parents never went to college and it’s the last thing on the minds of the kids you spend most of your time with. But then you decide to pursue a degree - and figure out how to raise your GPA, find financial aid, and get accepted to the institution that’s just right for you.

If you’re a low-income student from rural America, sadly, you need to beat the odds to realize that dream. Only 27 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds from rural areas enroll in higher education, and nationally only 11 percent of students from the families in the bottom economic quartile graduate from four-year colleges. As the head of an organization that has worked with more than 40,000 rural students, I recognize that low achievement and high college costs are part of the problem. But there’s another challenge that gets far less attention: Too many students from rural communities never develop the aspiration to go to college.

Case in point: Five years ago John Pollock of Willsboro, New York was a mediocre student who hadn’t even considered higher education.

When a teacher encouraged him to buckle down academically and think about college he faced ridicule from peers who told him it was a waste of time. Fortunately a mentor convinced him to press on, with daily urgings to study, weekly reminders to sign up for the ACT and SAT, and extensive hands-on help in finding financial aid.

Today John is a college junior with a 3.62 GPA. He’s proud of what he has accomplished but asserts “there’s no way I could have done this without lots of help from other people. My mentor pushed and pushed me to do better – to stop settling for average and raise my own standards.”

John was lucky. He received guidance that’s accepted as a given among students in affluent communities – but with an interesting twist.

Over the course of several months he learned about his potential to influence others. He did this through service activities to improve his school and community, through participation at a national conference to foster his own leadership potential, and with constant encourage-

ment to share his aspirations with other students in the Willsboro community.

These activities were integral to his involvement in College for Every Student (CFES). All of the students we mentor are expected to mentor others. All get hands-on help to improve their grades and apply for college. And all have opportunities to develop the discipline and leadership skills that help them succeed once they get there.

Thanks to thousands of volunteers and partnerships with 200 PreK-12 schools and 210 colleges, we work with 20,000 students in 24 states. But some of our most important activities will now take place in Essex, a town of 600 people in upstate New York. Through our CFES Center, space to conduct trainings and workshops, in Essex, we expect to involve, virtually and in-person, thousands of students, families and K-16 educators in experiences that bridge gaps in aspirations and achievement for low-income students nationwide. In fact, our new space will allow CFES to double the number of students we serve by 2020.

While the futures of our students will continue to be the top priority, we intend to have an echo effect in the greater Adirondack region. Our center will bring 15 jobs to the area, and our workshops will bring hundreds of young people, educators and community leaders to the town of Essex each year. With support from our staff, we will help parents, families and community leaders to embrace their role in promoting the value of college. We want younger children to follow in the footsteps of their older, college-bound siblings.

And we want the residents of Essex and neighboring communities to become part of a college-going culture throughout the region.

Think I’m dreaming? Then talk to John Pollock. A few months into his own college journey, he reached back to two longtime friends who had dropped out of college and convinced them to give it another try. His “if I can do it, you can too” attitude paid big dividends.

Today they room together at SUNY Canton.

They all have GPAs above 3.6. They’re all on track to graduate and get good jobs. And together they offer a great example of what can happen when aspirations are instilled and fulfilled.

Rick Dalton is President and CEO of College for Every Student.

A token of gratitude To the Valley News: This is a letter of thanks, a small token of our deep gratitude. On Friday, Jan. 11, approximately 80 people from the North Country, from Plattsburgh, Peru, Willsboro, Essex, Westport, Wadhams, Elizabethtown, Moriah and Schroon Lake, made the trek to Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont to watch our two children play basketball at the collegiate level. Bolster and Willa McKinley, both freshmen, play for the Connecticut College Camels, of New London, Connecticut and on Friday, their teams played Middlebury. This unbelievable North Country turn-out swelled our hearts and filled us with love and pride. Not only that, but the McKinley fans went wild at half-time in a very special display of enthusiasm… that may well have gotten Willa a few more minutes! We hope to thank each person individually, but in the meantime, we want to say thank you to those many supporters!

Teen Rec project a success To the Valley News: I am writing on behalf of the Elizabethtown Social Center to thank all who supported our recent Teen Rec project Care Packages for Soldiers.

When Cora Putnam Hale created the Social Center 74 years ago, projects supporting deployed troops were dear to her heart. The Red Cross met at the Center, and rolling bandages was a common activity. Rolling bandages is not as helpful now as it was then, so our Teen Rec Program compiled a list of commonly requested items from soldiers deployed in Afghanistan. We asked community members to support our project by donating these supplies. The response was wonderful and provided enough supplies for our teens to make twelve packages.

Special thanks to individuals who donated supplies, particularly members of the Pleasant Valley Chorale, Social Center Staff and Social Center Board Members. Two ELCS teachers assisted the project: Mrs. Crowningshield's Studio Art Class provided wonderful hand-made Christmas cards that offered a personal touch from our community and Mr. Buehler located a group of soldiers in a particularly rough area of Afghanistan who would appreciate our packages.

At the Social Center, our favorite projects bring together community members of all ages and interests. Thank you all again for helping us support our troops.

Arin Burdo, Director Elizabethtown Social Center

Make incentive permanent To the Valley News: In late December, Richard and Leanna DeNeale donated a conservation easement to Champlain Area Trails that will keep their farmland open for farming, preserve their beautiful forest, protect clean water, and provide the public with a hiking/skiing trail. We thank them for this generous act and for their vision of open lands surrounding our scenic and historic hamlets. Stay tuned for the first public hikes on the new trail which we plan to open this summer.

The DeNeales and other donors of conservation easements (which are landowner agreements to encourage sustainable actions like best forest and agricultural management prac-

tices and restrict certain uses like haphazard residential development) may qualify for state and federal incentives to conserve open space, productive land, wildlife habitat, clean water, and scenic vistas. These incentives provide income tax benefits and state reimbursements of 25 percent of the property taxes up to $5,000.

Landowners should welcome the good news that Congress recently voted to protect clean water, natural areas and working family farms by extending the enhanced federal tax benefits for landowners who donate conservation easements to organizations like Champlain Area Trails, Open Space Institute, NE Wilderness Trust, and The Nature Conservancy. These agreements help conserve natural resources important to the Champlain Valley and Adirondacks while keeping land in productive private ownership.

Unfortunately, this incentive is not permanent and will expire on Dec. 31, 2013. The enhanced incentive has helped land trusts work with willing landowners to increase the pace of conservation in the U.S. by a third—to about a million acres per year, but the short timeframe of this extension limits its effectiveness.

Champlain Area Trails joins America’s 1,700 land trusts and their two million supporters in calling on Congress to make this important conservation tool permanent this year.

We thank Representative Bill Owens and Senator Kirstin Gillibrand for co-sponsoring legislation in the last Congress to make this incentive permanent. Thanks to thoughtful landowners and a helping hand from the new 113th Congress, conservation organizations will be able to conserve even more land this year and keep our farms and working forests in production. In the central Champlain Valley, a generous private donation to our conservation partner, the Open Space Institute, will provide tremendous help in our effort to save land, protect clean water, and make trails. We encourage interested landowners to contact us (962-2287) to explore these new conservation opportunities.

It’s not guns, it’s people To the Valley News: I’m so tired of hearing how guns are the problem. For the love of God, it’s not guns, it’s people!

Let me point out that during the Civil War a lot of innocent civilians died, men, women and children. The innocent people that have died far exceeds all of the recent horrific tragedies combined, and after all that bloodshed no one ever thought, tried or even breathed a word about gun bans or restrictions.

The reason is because our ancestors knew the problem wasn’t guns, it was people! Have we become so pompous to over look that simple fact?

Our ancestors also knew we have the right to have “a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state,” the Second Amendment ensures Americans of this.

It was people, and their hate, greed and instability, prejudice, and not to mention racism, these are the facts that drove people to kill each other during the Civil War. They are the very same reasons people commit violent acts to-

day.

Those people that commit crimes with weapons shall be punished accordingly. No need to punish all good law abiding citizens.

If guns are banned all together, and if evil people are bent on hurting others they will find a way.

Most guns are semi automatic, including, hand guns, and even pellet guns. They can all be dressed to look like an assault rifle, however, it doesn't mean they are made to kill people.

The Second Amendment says “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

We have the right to choose whatever kind of arms we want to bear! People decide this, not the government!

Chad Jordon Ticonderoga

Don’t punish gun owners To the Valley News: Gun laws punish the law abiding citizens who own or want to own guns, not the criminals or the mentally ill who have gotten them illegally.

We have gun laws on the books right now that are not enforced. Why is that? Why is it that the criminals who kill people or use one in a crime get a slap on the wrist and we the responsible owners get more laws? Why is it that more 97 percent of crimes are committed by criminals than responsible gun owners, yet we pay the price and not them? Why it that more people are killed in traffic accidents, drunken drives included and more people are killed with blunt objects (baseball bats, clubs, tire irons etc..) yet where is the outcry from the public over that? Why is it that when a responsible gun owner saves the life of another or uses it to defend their family against a home invasion it is rarely talked about by the main street media? Why is it that there is no out cry about a newspaper listing the names, address and interactive map of gun owners, when it endangers battered women, women hiding from stalkers, women and children in general and officers of the law and their families?

Before you ask for our guns let me ask you to take a breath and think. Think about who did the killing in Newtown, Conn., Colorado and Arizona. It was deranged young men not a responsible gun owner. You will never stop a deranged person or criminal from killing anyone unless you own and have a gun on you at that time.

‘Molon Labe!’

To the Valley News: To all misguided gun grabbers: I’m quite sure any teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary or an adult movie-goer in Aurora, Colo., would have wanted a fighting chance.

Gun-Free Zones guarantee no one has a fighting chance. This is wrong! This is stupid people making stupid regulations and then blaming it on the NRA or other conservative Second Amendment group. The liberals have been trying for years to restrict gun rights.

Now they want to change the laws again whereby, eventually, none of us own guns.

They want the whole country to be a Gun-Free Zone. Incredibly stupid! Hands off our guns! If all misguided gun-grabbers are brave enough, let them know this term of defiance, “Molon Labe!”

An Attitude of Gratitude

I

travelled to New York City to pick my daughter up this past weekend who is just back from Africa. I was very glad to see her and after making sure that she was well, I initiated a conversation about her experiences while in Africa.

I had been looking at her pictures on Facebook and I had also previously been looking at the slums in Nairobi where she would be working. I fully expected her to tell me about the desperation of the people, the abject squalor of their existence and how sad people were in general.

As our trip north began I asked my daughter to share the five things that she came away with when she left Africa.

By Scot Hurlburt A smile came across her face as she began to share that the people in Kenya were surprisingly, happy people.

There was lightness about them and appreciation for the smallest of pleasures was expressed frequently and abundantly. “It appeared that people generally were just happy to be alive or at least so it appeared.” It was not an uncommon sight for people to walk along holding hands and conversing as they went.

My daughter also shared that things that we take for granted like running water, functional toilets and toilet paper were generally in short supply. What my daughter shared was unexpected and it got me thinking about how the people of Kenya could be so happy when they didn’t have big screen televisions, expensive cars, and well-appointed houses and were often lacking the many ordinary things that we take for granted every day.

I am so deeply entrenched in American consumerism that I cannot imagine how the people from Kenya that my daughter encountered could be so happy; so content. I tend to think that they are happy because they do not know that they should be unhappy because they do not have all the stuff that many of us have. I cannot imagine how they can be happy living in the homes that they live in which to me look like sheds where I might store my riding lawnmower.

How can they be happy without air conditioning when it gets so hot here? How can they be happy without takeout food, especially Chinese? How can they be happy without their own car? Many people travel by bus in Kenya and I have had several unpleasant experiences on bus trips to New York City many years ago.

It appears that most people in this part of Kenya have very little in the way of furniture, clothes, electronics or much of anything.

When my daughter told me that there was lightness about them, maybe she was talking about their lack of stuff. I suppose that when you don’t have lots of stuff, you don’t have the burden of cleaning, storing and maintaining lots of stuff either. Can you imagine a world without all the modern conveniences that we all use every day? Maybe the people of Kenya who don’t spend so much time taking care of their stuff have more time to spend with each other as human beings. Without so many possessions each of us would have much more discretionary time.

Having a lot of stuff requires a big time commitment. Maybe when you have very little, that which you have and the surprises that you encounter along the way become much more meaningful. In America, many of us give ourselves so much that when we encounter a surprise gift of kindness it is nice but it does not rise to a level of fulfillment or great appreciation. I did not get to purchase things that I wanted all year round.

I know from my own readings that there are many challenges on the African continent and I would have concluded from those readings and pictures that people were very unhappy there. I was glad to learn that at least in the part of Africa that my daughter visited people seemed to be quite happy in spite of their lack of material wealth. My daughter said that the beautiful children that she encountered were especially happy and that happiness was apparent in their frequent laughter, radiant smiles and great appreciation of the simplest gift.

I would suppose that we all could learn a great deal from people living in the challenging circumstances of Kenya. Principally, how to experience happiness just because you are lucky enough to be alive; how to live a life that is more selfless and how to survive our circumstance whatever they might be.

Mineville Pre-Tech Precision Machining plant earns certification

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com MINEVILLE — Pre-Tech Precision Machining keeps a low-profile.

“I’m not sure how many people even know we’re here,” said Jim Kahler, manager of Pre-Tech’s Mineville production facility. “I think people would be surprised to learn what we do.”

Pre-Tech may be a wellkept secret locally, but it’s known to people in the aerospace industry. The local shop recently received coveted AS9100C certification.

AS9100C is the quality management standard specifically written for the aerospace industry awarded by the Online Aerospace Supplier Information System.

The certification places PreTech among the best in the Aerospace and Defense Quality Management System International Standard.

“It’s great news,” Kahler said. “It’s confirmation that we’re doing things the right way.”

The certification may also be key to future expansion of

the Pre-Tech Mineville facility.

“We hope this will allow us to branch out to new customers,” Kahler said. “There are companies that won’t deal with you without the AS9100C. The first thing they ask is if you are certified.

“We’re doing well here, we stay busy,” the manager continued, “but we’d like to get more business and expand in the future.”

Established in 1985, PreTech is headquartered in Williston, Vt. It opened a production plant in the Moriah Industrial Park in Mineville in 1998. The firm has 71 employees, 22 in Mineville. Pre-Tech is a manufacturer of precision-machined metal and plastic components. At any one time the plant is making up to a dozen different items.

Most relate to aerospace, but some are biomedical.

“We make parts in this facility that aren’t made anywhere else in the world,” Kahler said. “More than 90 percent of what we make flies.”

That’s a reference to the large mount of work done for government and commercial aerospace industries. For security reasons, Kahler and other Pre-Tech employees do not discuss specific products or customers.

Pre-Tech is part of an aerospace industry where com-

Jim Martin, left, and Eric Moquin stand with a $500,000 horizontal mill at Pre-Tech Precision Machining in Mineville. The equipment is used to make aerospace components. ponents are made at plants around country, shipped and assembled elsewhere.

“We never do the full assembly of a part,” Kahler explained. “We make components for parts. Other plants make other components.

Someone else puts them together. There are security and safety issues. If something were to happen at one plant it wouldn’t affect the entire industry.”

One thing is obvious. The Mineville plant is high-tech and its employees are

skilled. In the past year it added a $500,000 horizontal mill. That mill replaced four older pieces of equipment and allows Pre-Tech to make the latest in aerospace components.

“I’ll admit, I was pretty nervous the first time I had to use it,” said Jim Martin, the primary operator of the new mill. “It’s like anything, though. You learn and it becomes pretty routine.”

While high-tech machines make the components at PreTech, workers constantly

monitor them for quality control. Adjustments are made throughout each process.

“Most people believe technology has made machining easier,” said Kahler, who has been with Pre-Tech since it opened the Mineville shop. “It’s made it faster, but I think the manual machines were much easier to use. The new machines need to be constantly adjusted. You need to be alert every second.”

“You really need mechan-

ical and mathematical skills,” said Martin, pointing to his machine’s monitor. “All you see there are numbers. You have to be able to work with numbers.”

Kahler agreed.

“If you can’t use sine, cosine and tangent you can’t work here,” he said. “We use trig (trigonometry) every day. Math skills are key.”

But while math and mechanical skills are required, only one of Pre-Tech’s 22 Mineville workers has a college degree.

“High schools do a good job teaching the skills we need,” Kahler said. “Students just have to learn them.

“I never dreamed I could do this kind of work, become a plant manager,” Kahler, a 1986 Crown Point Central School graduate, said. “PreTech does a great job training people, but you need the basics.”

Pre-Tech prides itself on being a local company, Kahler said. He pointed out 19 of the 22 employees at the Mineville plant live in the town of Moriah. The others live in Elizabethtown, Wadhams and Ticonderoga.

“I think Pre-Tech has been good for the community,” he said. “The plant is safe and clean. It provides good-paying jobs.”

The Mineville plant operates two shifts, day and night, five days a week.

Emergency HEAP funding available

ally-funded program to help eligible households in meeting their home energy needs. Eligible households can receive one regular HEAP benefit per season, but may also be eligible for a onetime emergency HEAP benefit if they are in danger of running out of fuel or having their heat or heat-related utility service shut off.

Eligibility for emergency HEAP benefits is based on income, available resources, and the type of emergency. For example, a family of four can have a household income of $49,333 a year and may still qualify for a HEAP benefit.

A complete list of where to apply locally can be found at otda.ny.gov/programs/heap/HEAP-contacts.pdf.

More information can also be found by calling the New York State HEAP Hot-

line at 1-800-342-3009.

New York residents can check if they may be eligible for HEAP, and numerous other benefits, by answering a few questions online at myBenefits.ny.gov.

Emergency HEAP benefit amounts are listed below: Heat Related Domestic (electric service required to operate heating equipment) - $160 Natural Gas Heat Only - $400 Natural Gas Combined with Heat Related Domestic - $560 Electric Heat Combined with Heat Related Domestic - $560 Non-utility heating fuel (oil, kerosene, and propane) - $600 Non-utility heating fuel (wood, pellets, coal, corn, etc.) - $500

ALBANY — The State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) announced that beginning Jan. 2, eligible low-income New Yorkers who are in danger of having their heat shut off or running out of fuel, can apply for emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) benefits.

Stewart’s completes successful Holiday Match program ELIZABETHTOWN — The 26th annual Stewart’s Shops’ Holiday Match program has once again topped the million dollar mark in contributions for local children's charities.

The company announced that Stewart’s customers donated $672,000, Stewart’s Shops is matching that amount, with a total of $1,344,000 to be distributed in March, 2013.

“These are difficult times for many families and despite the economic challenges we are always impressed with the generosity of our customers,” said Susan Dake, Stewart’s Foundation President.

The Holiday Match program is based on customers making contributions in the 324 Stewart’s Shops, located in upstate New York and western Vermont, from Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day. Stewart’s then matches all individual customer donations. The money raised benefits children’s organizations directly within the communities where Stewart’s Shops are located. There are no administrative costs and 100% of the funds collected and matched benefit the communities that have made this program so successful. After this year ’s funds are distributed, over $17 million will have been allocated since the program’s inception in 1986. The $672,000 that Stewart’s is matching is about 30 percent of the $2,250,000 donations budget for Stewart’s Shops in 2013.

“We continue to see many organizations struggle as fewer companies are able to help with funding. We are fortunate to be in a position to assist thousands of local organizations this year, following our company theme that We Are Closer to You,” said Dake.

Cutting also offered a presentation from members of Watch Systems, LLC. The company operates the Offender Watch Network, which is currently used to help track sexual offenders in Clinton, Franklin, Washington and Warren counties.

In total, the company is operating in a total of 30 states either statewide or county-by-county, and with more than 4,500 local law enforcement and government agencies.

Cutting said that bringing the program to Essex County, which would include an investigative and public Internet presence, would cost $4,000 for the first year and $3,500 annually thereafter.

“I think that for that amount of money, we need to take a look at this,” board chairman Randy Douglas said. “One of our responsibilities is to keep our constituents safe, and this is something that can help our sheriff and district attorney when it comes to that.”

Currently, Cutting said there are 134 registered sexual offenders in the county, including 15 level three (the most severe) and 52 level two offenders, with three still pending evaluation.

The supervisors passed the resolution through committee, but asked that the Sheriff look into alternatives when it came to filling positions, including part-time employees.

“Essex and Fulton county are the only ones that do not operate with any part-time employees,” Westport Supervisor Dan Connell said.

“We are in a position that we have got to do business differently. Do this for a minimal amount of training and save us substantial money.”

Willsboro Supervisor Ed Hatch was the lone vote against the request.

“I would think that this stuff should be looked at by the budget committee before we look at this,” he said.

“We have that committee there to look at these things and see how they fit in the budget.”

“That is not the purpose of the budget committee,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava countered. “I think that this issue is very ell explained by the sheriff and he has the paperwork to back it up. The committee is looking to put in place a three- to five-year plan. It is not about bringing every staffing issue to the committee. All of these positions are in the budget.”

Yoga Continued from page 1 “It’s more about using the pranayama, which is the breath,” Rendinaro said. “Breath is everything. We are alive because we are breathing.”

A focus on breathing helps calm the mind, which can in turn help relax the entire body.

“If you’re paying attention to your breath, you’re not paying attention to your thoughts,” Rendinaro said.

“That’s the union between mind body and spirit, and that’s what yoga is about.”

Vinyasa flow is considered more difficult than hatha flow, and is less meditative.

“You move from one posture to the next,” Rendinaro said. “It all flows with your breath. Every time you bend forward you exhale, when you stand you inhale.”

Yoga does more than improve flexibility and mental well-being.

Rendinaro explained that synovial

“The more you do yoga, the stronger you become,” Rendinaro said. “By moving into certain postures, I think you feel really good that you were able to accomplish that.”

Rendinaro started doing yoga in 1992 because she saw it as a lifestyle that appealed to her.

“I tried it out and it stayed with me,” Rendinaro said. “The conscious relaxation is what sold me. We did that for 15 minutes and it felt like I had slept for eight hours.”

Her decision to teach yoga evolved from the way the practice made her feel, and was borne from a desire to share that feeling with others.

Clute began doing yoga with Rendinaro about 3 months ago because he wanted to work on conditioning and balance.

“It is surprising how, when I started going into different postures, there are certain muscles and joints in the body that, as far as I can tell, I’d never used before,” Clute said. “I’m definitely more flexible now than I was before.”

The tree posture, a posture that involves standing on one leg with the bottom of the non-standing foot pressed against the inner thigh of the standing leg, has been difficult for Clute to master, but, he said, with the proper tutelage he’s been slowly moving his foot up the trunk.

“Nancy’s approach to this whole thing is to understand our limitations,” Clute said. “She takes it easy on us, and that makes learning more enjoyable.”

Outdoor sports and gym class

A

s debate over gun control continues to rage across the country, it is interesting to note two proposed bills that were introduced in the New York State Assembly and Senate last year.

The proposed measures may actually offer some of the wisest, and least controversial methods available to address the issue of gun control in NY State. If enacted, the legislation may actually provide a proactive opportunity, rather than the reactive measures, which have created so much controversy across the state in recent days.

The legislation includes, Assembly bill, A4345, sponsored by Assemblyman Will Barclay, R-Pulaski, and the Senate version, S4933 sponsored by Sen. John Bonacic, R-Mt. Hope. If approved, it would require the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation to “develop an educational program for grades 9 through 12, …with information necessary for implementing an educational program encompassing outdoor opportunities for recreational and physical education purposes.”

Obviously, there are at least two politicians who believe there should be more to gym class than just basketball, baseball and football.

The measure, which is focused on high school physical education courses, has drawn wide support from the New York State Conservation Council.

If enacted, the legislation would provide school districts with a NYS Department of Education, approved high school curriculum

Keene 2-12-11-7 32 Chazy 11-20-26-2 59 Keene: Gabe Warner 10; Brandon Dumas 9; Maxx Sturgess 6; Colton Venner 5; Justin Haverlik 2

centered on the traditional pursuits of hunting and fishing for use in physical education courses.

In many school districts, activities such as archery, Nordic skiing, mountain biking, flyfishing and orienteering are no longer part of gym class. Rather, these activities are offered as part of Health Class.

If the current legislation is enacted, students in New York schools would have and opportunity to learn about the various hunting and fishing seasons and the species that could be sought, and the numerous opportunities for outdoor recreation and exercise.

Additionally, students would learn about the history and benefits of hunting and fishing in the development of New York State.

Such progressive measures would certainly put New York at the forefront of the international movement currently addressing the plight of ‘nature deficit disorder’ that afflicts children worldwide.

A key component of the curriculum would provide students with an opportunity to understand what firearms are intended for.

Hunter Safety Education takes the mystery out of firearms, and provides the necessary expertise for students to accomplish a hands-on demonstration.

New York would be a lot safer if students learn proper gun handling techniques from certified instructors, rather than by watching videos such as Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt, or Resident Evil.

Recently, David Figura, an outdoor writer with The Post Standard in Syracuse, polled his readers whether public schools should be offering hunting, fishing and trapping education.

Admittedly, it wasn’t a scientific sampling considering the paper primarily serves an urban readership; but it was surprising!

The results were “All for it” 63.93%, “Are you kidding me?

No way” 5.74% and “It should offered, but only as an elective.

28.69%” Or, “Not sure. Need more information 1.64%” One reader commented, “Give a kid a hook, and he’ll never be a crook.”

Got Game?

On the same topic, it is important to note SUNY-ESF’s Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb will again be hosting their popular Got Game? Series. This new program series will highlight the role that sportsmen play in conservation and game management. The events are intended to foster a connection among sportsmen and women across the Adirondacks, by providing an opportunity for them to swap stories; trades tips, and spend some time together over a bowl of chili, a beer or a hot chocolate.

The series begins on Saturday, Jan. 26 from 3-5 p.m. Admission is $5, and for further information, please call or email to register, at (518) 582-2000, or aic@esf.edu.

Conveniently, the late afternoon start will allow participants an opportunity to put in a full day of skiing or snowshoeing before retreating to the comfortable, fireside confines of ESF’s historic Huntington Lodge in Newcomb.

The series will continue from January through April with a focus on a different game species, or an outdoor sporting skill.

The series will begin with guest speaker DEC Wildlife Biologist Jeremy Hurst leading a conversation on White-tailed Deer.

Hurst is responsible for the management of New York’ whitetail population, and other big game animals.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.
