Dudley alum speaks at Literacy Vols fundraiser

Block party benefits Grange

ELIZABETHTOWN — North Country towns and villages are struggling to deal with the requirements of the 2 percent property tax cap Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law in June.

As a result, many government leaders report their budgets will require cuts and they need mandate relief.

The tax cap is set at 2 percent or the average of the national consumer price index (CPI), whichever is lower. The cap could be overridden by a 60 percent vote of a governing body.

Unfunded and underfunded mandates include legal requirements that a local district provide a program, project, or activity on behalf of the state or federal governments.

WESTPORT — When he was a camper at Camp Dudley, Ted Zoli said that he never got to be a part of the, “big show,” in the Witherbee Auditorium at the end of each year.

On Sunday, Aug. 21, his time came, as the designer of the new Champlain Bridge was the center of attention in that theatre as part of the Literacy Volunteers author discussion fundraiser.

“We’ve done it forever, so a lot of community members expect it,” Denton said,

on an open pit.

The cost for adults will be $9. For children under age 12 the cost will be $5. For children under age 5 the event will be free.

“You normally get an older crowd,” Denton said. “I think it’s just because they’ve gone to it for so many years.”

Mashed potatoes, roast beef, corn on the cob, chowder, relish, coleslaw, rolls and desserts are on the menu.

Organizers start cooking early the morning of the event, at around 5:30 a.m.,

adding the barbecue has been held for nearly half a century. “They look forward to it every year.”

Each year, organizers serve about 300 people, Denton said, making an average of $1,500 for the department.

Peter Evans, the chief of the organization, said he wasn’t sure where the money would go to, though some might be set aside for a scholarship at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School.

“It’s just for stuff that’s needed for the department,”

ELIZABETHTOWN — After four years as Executive Director of the Ausable River Association (AsRA), Carol Treadwell is resigning her position to relocate with her husband John Steitz to Montana to pursue opportunities there. Carol will guide the organization until a qualified replacement is found.

“We sincerely regret Carol’s departure,” AsRA Board Chair John Lafferty said.

“But AsRA is a strong and effective organization thanks to Carol’s efforts and we look forward to continuing her work.”

Her imminent departure has prompted a search for a qualified individual to lead the work of the conservation group that prides itself on a cooperative approach to stewarding the exceptional resources of the Ausable River and its watershed.

ELIZABETHTOWN — For the second year, the Elizabethtown Fish and Game Club will host a weekend of music and camping at their site on the Elizabethtown-Wadhams Road.

The Jamboree will take place starting Friday, Aug. 26 and run through Sunday, Aug. 28.

The proceeds from the event will go towards the building of a new building on the site, which will be used by both the Fish and Game Club and the local chapter of the American Legion.

The musical performances start at 7 p.m. on Aug. 26 with a karaoke night. The GreenBeans Band will perform at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27, followed by Brent Vosburg at 4 p.m. and JUST US at 7 p.m.

Other events will include the camping with nightly bonfires, fishing and tubing in the Boquet River, a horseshoe challenge and games.

Day passes for the event are $5 per person, with children 12 and under admitted for free. Camping space is available for $40 per site.

For more information or for camping reservations, call the Elizabethtown Fish and Game Club at 873-3277.

WESTPORT Margaret Bartley • 873-9225 / msbartley@charter.net club grounds for the big weekend. A big thanks goes to Alan Jones and ACAP who provided the club with a kid’s playground.

Friday night at the Jamboree will feature an open mic at 6 p.m. Gary Finney will call all square dancers at noon on Saturday.

Brent Vosburg will perform his own songs 4: p.m. and “Just Us” offers Rock ‘n Roll at 7 p.m. Throughout the weekend there is tubing on the river, a horseshoe challenge and nighttime bonfire. Weekend camping costs $50 and joining the fun on Saturday will cost you just $5 per person. The Fish & Game Club is located on County Rte. 8 (the E-town-Wadhams Rd), about one mile from Elizabethtown on the left.

The Annual Ox Roast in Lewis will be held Sunday, Aug. 28. This event has been taking place since 1908, when Knights of the Maccabees organized the feast. Today, it’s a Lewis Fire Dept. fundraiser. The great food will surely attract many E-towner ’s to Lewis for this wonderful Sunday dinner.

Its just $9 for adults, $5 for kids 5-12 and the little ones eat for free.

ongratulations to the Depot Apprentices in the Shakespeare-inthe-Park program, who took their fine production of The Merchant of Venice to Middlebury on Aug. 14, where a shortened version was presented along with a short version of The Tempest with a young Middlebury cast. This was a first for us, but hopefully not the last time our young actors can enjoy such an opportunity.

That was the first installment of our annual Shakespeare-in-the-Park Festival. The second installment will take place in Ballard Park at 2 p.m. on Sunday, September 4, when the professional actors of American Studio Theater will present Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Daniel Billet.

Dan's standout performance as Henry V here two years ago was, for my money, one of the finest I've ever seen of a Shakespearian role. In this year's show, Dan will play Benedick, while the equally astonishing Carrie Treadwell will play Beatrice—two lovers whose verbal sparring is one of the crown jewels of Shakespearian comedy and romance. As always, the show is free.

The Champlain Valley Film Society announced their fall line up recently, with “Jane Eyre” kicking off an excellent series on Sept. 17 at the Whallonsburg Grange.

Their website has information on all the upcoming movies.

The other day I saw a huge bird lifting off from the lake with a fish in its grasp. It was clearly not an osprey, which would be the first suspect, because it lacked the osprey’s angled wings. I’m guessing a bald eagle, although another observer thought it was a golden eagle. Either way, owners of small dogs should be cautious if a large shadow falls on your yard. And the enterprising birds who nested downtown in the cantilevered tube with the flashing red lights over Main Street have moved on. I watched them most of the summer, going in and out of a round hole on the underside of the tube.

ums. Even without the intention of purchasing any of the fine pieces it is still quite a joy to stop in and just observe all the talented work of our community members.

A while ago I mentioned that Keeseville has a volunteer emergency response group dedicated to being organized in case of general emergency. This is a group dedicated to having a plan of action if an emergency strikes that affects numerous community members. They are prepared to feed and provide help in times of need. This is a tremendous asset to our community but being voluntary it to can use help. Please if interested contact the village office at 8349059. They can direct you to either getting in touch with or having the group contact you.

Again my thanks to those sacrificing their time in order to provide me with a safer community to live in – it is very much appreciated.

Stay safe and well everyone and enjoy the rest of the summer.

reader with sharp eyes recently took me to task for wrongly spelling the name of the local river as “Bouquet.” The proper spelling is with one u, Boquet, and has been since a decision nearly twenty years ago by the U.S. Board of Geographic Names. I should have known better and appreciate the reader ’s tactful correction and his sense of etiquette. If a problem can be cured, like a piece of spinach stuck to teeth, mention it, but if it can’t be easily resolved, like a split in someone’s pants, leave it be.

This Saturday, Aug. 27, there will be a sale at the Whallonsburg Grange to benefit the North Country SPCA.

ack to School sales in newspapers and on TV are a sign that summer is nearly done. It’s time to start thinking about notebooks, new shoes, pens and pencils and finishing required reading.

The Family Dollar Store had their “Back to School” banner up weeks ago. Moms and Dads know that summer ’s end means shopping lists and afterschool scheduling.

For most of us the change from muggy July nights to cooler August nights is the sign that summer is nearing its end.

Bridge opening date in question

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Will the new Champlain Bridge open as scheduled Oct. 9?

No one seems to know.

“We are currently in discussions with the contractor to see what impact the spring weather and flooding has had on construction and determine when the bridge will be opened to traffic,” said Carol Breen, senior public information officer with the New York State Department of Transportation.

She declined to offer an opening date.

DOT officials have insisted the bridge project is on schedule, despite granting the contractor a 65-day extension to its project schedule in March.

Flatiron Constructors of Lafayette, Colo., is building the span. It was the low-bidder at $69.6 million.

Flatiron is under contract to build the new span within 500 days of groundbreaking.

The contract includes a provision requiring Flatiron to absorb the costs of the adjacent, temporary ferry service — about $30,000 a day — for every day beyond the 500-day lim-

it. The contract also provides a financial incentive — up to $1.5 million — for Flatiron to complete the work in less than 500 days.

While the opening date seems uncertain, work is continuing. The structure is taking shape between Crown Point and Addison, Vt. At the same time the bridge arch is being constructed on barges in Port Henry and will be floated to the structure this week.

“We’re planning to lift the arch into place late this month,” she said. “The process will take two days. First, the arch will be loaded onto barges at Valez Marine and floated down the lake to the bridge site. A safe zone will be established around the arch barges during the transport, but the lake will not be closed. The arch will then have to be connected to lifting cables. The actual lift will occur on the second day and is expected to take between 12 and 18 hours. The main navigational channel under the bridge will be closed during the lift.”

The Lake Champlain Bridge was immediately closed in October 2009 when state transportation officials, without warning, declared it unsafe.

With another sports season, a few reminders on behavior

W

hile all area high schools will be officially opening their doors to students in the next two weeks, many of those students have already found their way back to the facilities’ athletic fields.

Almost every sport will have started practicing for the upcoming fall 2011 high school sports season by the end of August, all with eyes on athletic excellence, quality competition and, in the case of varsity teams, a chance to chase the goal of a sectional or even state championship.

The first games are set to take place Labor Day weekend, with a full set of Northern Football Conference games on tap, quickly to be followed by the new Section VII unified soccer season and Section X soccer season, as well as the volleyball, cross country, girls swimming and cheerleading seasons.

This is just the beginning to a new year of sports in all three seasons: fall, winter and spring, where student athletes will take to the field, pool, mats and courts to try their best.

With that comes a few reminders about making sure that the student athletes, coaches and officials enjoy the season, as well as those who come to watch their children, family, friends and alma mater play.

First, when it comes to modified and junior varsity sports, let’s remember that there are no championships here. Sure, it’s nice to win, but these levels are to prepare student athletes for the varsity levels.

Coaches need to remember that these are the levels where fundamentals and implementation happen and coach accordingly. It would surprise a lot of people how many modified teams who win very few games then turn into varsity teams that wins sectional titles.

Also, this is something that parents and fans have to remember. You may question why a certain move took place, but remember that coaches on these levels are trying to give athletes as much experience as possible, which might not always be in the same interest as winning the game.

When it comes to varsity sports, make sure that the competition stays on the field. Nothing is more embarrassing than seeing fans taunt each other and opposing teams because they feel it is helping their team. It’s not. It’s embarrassing them, the

school and, more importantly, the person doing the taunting.

No one goes to work the next day and says, “Did you see how so-and-so screamed at the ref for a bad call and then ran down to the sidelines to confront the coach after the game. They have real team spirit.” Instead they say, “Did you see how so-and-so screamed at the ref for a bad call and then ran down to the sidelines to confront the coach after the game. They’re a real jerk.”

Unfortunately, this type of behavior can be promoted when people are allowed to annonymously post derogatory comments about other teams, officials and coaches on websites, or have those comments seen in print. You can’t trumpet the cause of sportsmanship in one breath and then provide a platform for malicious and hurtful speak in another.

Student athletes need to remember the same. There is no need for name-calling, derogatory remarks or insults in the midst of competition. If you think you need to do it because your sports role model does it, you have the wrong role model.

Enjoy the competition. Enjoy playing against your peers in athletic contests.

Former opponents can be close friends after the games end, and the glory days are retold to children and grandchildren, or even right after the final buzzer sounds.

This also leads to being a good sport.

There is no need to insult or talk bad about a team after a game is finished, because the game is just that — finished.

Over.

What would be great is when the endof-game lineup takes place, every player and coach meant what they said when they went through that line, instead of walking through like a zombie mumbling out, “good game” or “nice job.” Be sincere in victory and defeat.

So, to all who are ready for another scholastic sports season, here is to a safe, fun and, hopefully, sportsmanship-filled year of competition.

Valley News - 7

www.thevalleynews.org

A response To the Valley News: This is in response to Dan Alexander ’s editorial and the letter from Betsi Calhoun in Schroon Lake.

I couldn’t agree more on the need for confident and broad reaching leadership, or it’s going to take forever to get out of this mess. Part of the mess are systems (health care, taxes, schools, etc.) that are both antiquated and very poorly designed; the US (especially) has been getting by pretty nicely, ever since WWII was won by the Allies, and we could “afford” to be stupid. Now, we are in terrible trouble.

Bush was an excellent leader for getting things done, in the context of this constant no holds barred fight between Republicans and Democrats; unfortunately, most of his major ideas arguably made things much worse. Obama would be a terrific leader (bold and confident and collaborating) if the political parties were cooperating, but his style is severely dampened by the Republican declared goal of making him fail, no matter what the cost.

We all lose.

One key to a successful path out, I believe, would be the desire and action to create solutions that are respectful of everyone affected. The controversy over gay marriage is a case in point. I am sympathetic to keeping “marriage” as it has been traditionally defined—but, NOT at the expense of gay persons and their loving relationships and families. If we can back a different label that infers the same respect and guarantees the same legal advantages and security for the equivalent of marriage between gay persons, I think there will be much wider support, and then we move on to the next issue, and the next issue, and …

We need to respect and support the rich and the poor, the intellectually educated and the experience educated, gifted leaders along with those of us content to follow and work together, Christians and Muslims and all other religions—the list will get very lengthy, but the principle has to be applied everywhere! Easier said than done, but we have to start with the paramount goal of real and effective respect and support for all, or we are screwed, in my opinion.

Are you ready for some (fantasy) football?

C

ome with me, and you’ll be in a world of pure football imagination.

Yes, now that the lockout is over and the babied millionaires have decided to get along with their billionaire owners, it’s time for the professional football season to begin and, with that, the realm of fantasy football.

Basically, it’s Dungeons and Dragons for sports fans (again, fan is

by Keith Lobdell short for fanatic).

You get to become the owner of your very own team (without the billions), drafting real NFL players to your ultimate team of superstars in order to show if you really know your football.

It’s a role playing game using real people as the characters. It’s a choose-your-own adventure based on the successes and failures of Tom Brady or Brandon Jacobs.

Thankful to Horace Nye To the Valley News: My husband has been a resident at Horace Nye for the past year, and I am impressed with the quality of care he is receiving under the present system, i.e. not for profit.

The staff are always friendly, compassionate and caring, doing all in their power to provide the residents with activities and excursions, as well as attending to their physical and nutritional needs.

In short, it’s one of the most addicting things I have ever been involved in.

I started out as a fantasy baseball freak, but six months of trying to keep up with stats and injuries and who’s hot was just too much of an investment of time. In fantasy football, you can take the whole week off and spend a few minutes on a Saturday picking your lineup and setting your roster.

One of the best parts of the whole spectacle is the draft, a chance for everyone to look at and then belittle your football acumen. (“You took a kicker in the third round?

Why don’t you use your next pick on a cheerleading squad.”)

Then there are the mistakes that you make with your rosters. The first week of last season, I was in a family league with my wife and some of her siblings. She sat Houston Texans running back Arian Foster because she “had never heard of him.”

Long story short, he finished with day with something like 250 rushing yards, five or six touchdowns, a few receptions (all worth points in the league), sold five cartons of popcorn and sang the National Anthem. He would have gained her almost 50-60 more points on a week where she lost be three.

Fantasy football also leads to the great sports morale debates. You see, I am a Giants fan, but I had Miles Austin of the

Now, due to the expenses incurred and the lack of governmental support in providing sufficient tax revenue to help keep up the facility, the county is considering selling it.

To quote the Rev. Chilton Mac Pheeters, as expressed in a recent article: "We have a social contract to love our neighbor."

Like it or not, we all get sick and old, and maintaining quality nursing homes should be a priority.

I, for one, resent seeing a huge amount of my tax dollars paid out as school tax, a system my children graduated from decades ago.

I feel that when one reaches 65 that he should have the option of redirecting this tax to the support of elder care and nursing homes rather than helping buy new astro turf for the football/soccer field or whatever else the school budget dictates.

"Been there; done that." Now it is time to support Horace Nye. Mary Benson Keeseville

Vermont versus New York To the Editor: Well, here we go again. Watching the Channel Five News at 6 p.m. on July 4, it seems that unless you live in Vermont, you don't count.

That's according to the news (one or two stories from New York) and now FEMA. In the Press-Republican yesterday, July 3, a news article stated that FEMA is not helping individuals, only businesses, in New York.

But, in Vermont (the all-important state, apparently) they (FEMA) are handing out flyers for everyone to sign up for help.

Until the news today, I was feeling pretty good about living in New York. It's really sad to have to watch the news from a Vermont channel to get New York news.

Goodbye Channel Five.

Cowboys and a running back or two from the Eagles on my fantasy team. Do you root for your team (Giants) or “your team” (last year known as the Weakside Sackerz, this year known as the HeadBangin’ Collies in honor of Colts receiver Austin Collie and his two severe concussions suffered last season).

You can go to all of the experts for help with your fantasy team, but here is my advice: Never pick your favorite players. Not too many points on a team made up of BYU alums John Beck (Redskins quarterback) or Max Hall (Cardinals backup quarterback), Harvey Unga (Bears second team running back) and Collie. It’s a case of your heart will not lead you to fantasy happiness.

Quarterbacks and running backs are like gold; kickers and defenses are like socks.

Remember, you will wake up one morning to hear that your top producer is out for the season. It’s just a fact.

By the way, if anyone wants into a fantasy league, go to the Valley News Facebook Page and post your interest. We have room for 19 teams right now and hope to have a fun season. You never know, we may also be able to get some “loot” for the winners.

So, good luck with your teams. Unless your playing against me.

nyone that has ever coached a youth sport may recall starting off with great idealism.

The coaching emphasis was on learning the skills necessary to play the sport and to have fun. Young athletes practiced a variety of elements of the game and then part of the practice would be used to play the sport.

Players

By Scot Hurlburt were rotated into different positions where they got a sense of each position and every player got about the same amount of playing time.

Players also learn good sportsmanship and respect for teammates and opposing players and coaches. This kind of coaching puts the players well on their way to becoming as good a player as they can be and then something changes.

Why? Consider the fable of the Scorpion and the Fox. As the fox approached the river, he encountered a Scorpion. The Scorpion asked the fox to give him a ride across the river. The fox replied that he could not give him a ride because he would bite the fox causing him to drown. The Scorpion told the fox that he would not bite him because if the fox drowned so would he. The fox considered the logic of the Scorpion’s reply and decided to let him ride across on his back. As the fox reached a mid point in the river he felt a sting in his back and knew that the Scorpion had stung him. The fox asked the Scorpion why had he taken an action that would kill them both and the Scorpion said, “You can not blame me for biting you as it is my nature to do so.”

Nobel prize winner James Watson said, “As humans, we are always trying to win in every situation. Scientists are trying to understand what our genes have programmed us to do. We should accept and not deny this reality, it is nearly impossible to overcome our selffocused nature.”

While I am not a Nobel Prize winner, I strongly disagree with Dr Watson’s premise that we cannot overcome the forces of self-interest and selfishness that lives in each of us.

Youth sport coaches want to win, players want to win and perhaps most powerfully, parents want their kids team to win.

Perhaps a better question might be, is winning at all costs acceptable. I believe that most of us are more like the fox than the scorpion although there definitely are scorpions among us.

As parents and fans, we can help coaches to do the right thing with young athletes. As parents and fans, notice when coaches do the right thing and let the coach know. As parents and fans focus on the fun of the game, young players trying their best to conquer their fear of failure and giving it their all is reason enough to enjoy the game.

As parents and fans, refrain from criticizing coaches or players in a losing game. Remember, these are young players learning the game so give them a chance to do so.

If you are connected in any way to youth sports, let your coach know that you appreciate that they approach coaching with a focus on learning the sport, everyone plays, fun is important and sportsmanship is held in high regard.

Coaches in youth sports that do not sacrifice their values to win at all costs will be teaching important life skills that their players will long remember well after their playing days are over.

Remember all kids count.

jonh@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — An earthquake struck the North Country the afternoon of Aug. 23, shortly before press time.

The 5.9 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter in Virginia struck around 1:51 p.m., according to the United States Geological Survey.

Essex County Director of Emergency Services Don Jaquish said though numerous people had called 911, there were no re-

ports of damage. The earthquake was felt in Elizabethtown around 1:55 p.m. lasting a little less than 3 minutes.

Jane Hooper, the director of community relations at Elizabethtown Community Hospital said the earthquake was felt at the medical center.

“It was like a slow kind of rumble,” Hooper said. “I don’t think it affected the hospital, but we could feel it.”

Samantha Roy of Elizabethtown said she felt the quake.

“I was on the phone with a

friend of mine, and I was like ‘Oh my God, my house is shaking,’” Roy said, adding that when she told her dad, he said that he thought she was on drugs.

Dina Garvey, who works for the Essex County Board of Supervisors said, “Honestly, I didn’t think it was an earthquake. I kind of felt the chair move a little bit.”

Keene Supervisor William Ferebee said town residents, including him, felt the earthquake.

“In fact, I called Don Jaquish

FEMA continues to issue denials Newest: no extension for declaration period

TICONDEROGA — AARCH will be hosting its Third Annual Golf Benefit on Aug. 29, at Ticonderoga Country Club.

Registration deadline is Aug. 15.

Cost is $100 per player which includes greens fees, cart and lunch. There are three divisions – Mens, Womens and Mixed with prizes available in all categories. Format is Four Man Scramble.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The North Country is getting no love from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The latest in a string of denials from FEMA came this week, as a request to extend the disaster declaration period was turned down by the federal agency.

Public assistance had been previously approved for 21 counties that suffered significant damage during spring flooding earlier this year. The disaster declaration covered public infrastructure damaged between April 28 and May 9.But local, state and fed-

eral officials lobbied FEMA to extend that time period to April 3 through May 30.

FEMA has since contacted New York to deny the request.

Last week, North Country leaders learned that a second request for individual assistance had been rejected.

Damage to public and private property in Franklin, Essex and Clinton counties is estimated in the tens of millions of dollars.

Some good news has surfaced, as North Country Congressman Bill Owens announced last week that farmers are eligible for federal assistance in order to recoup funds lost when crops and animals were lost during the peak of historic flooding this year.

County lawmakers from across the region say they will appeal the latest FEMA decision.

to make sure Little Porter hadn’t slid off into Keene Valley,” Ferebee said.

The supervisor said he planned on checking the site of the town’s ongoing landslide the afternoon of Aug. 23 to see if the earthquake had affect the site.

His office had received a number of concerned calls from people in the town, but no damage was reported.

College gets $300K to fight invasive species

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator Judith Enck visited Paul Smith’s College Aug. 19 to announce a $300,000 grant for the Adirondack Watershed Institute’s Watershed Stewardship Program. Lower St. Regis Lake is in the background.

Photo by Paul Smith’s College tion Initiative was established

by President Barack Obama when he entered office in 2008. Enck says he pulled together a task force of 16 federal agencies to establish an action plan focusing on five priority areas.

Those five focuses include: cleaning up toxic hot spots; combating invasive species; promoting near-shore health; restoring wetlands and other habitats; and public education.

Enck says Paul Smith’s College is a strategic partner in the EPA’s collective effort to improve the environment.

The college will use the grant funding to inspect some 14,000 recreational boats in the western Adirondacks.

Stewards from the Watershed Institute will man stations along the Oswegatchie, Black, and Raquette rivers, according to Enck.

“And I think what’s really important is the specific impact,” she said. “There will actually be hand-removal of zebra mussels from boats. And

that’s so important, because these water bodies do feed into the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes have one-fifth of the world’s surface freshwater — which I always find amazing.”

Dr. Eric Holmlund is director of the Watershed Stewardship Program. He says stewards have been working to educate the public about aquatic invasive species for 12 summers now.

Holmlund says recreational boaters are getting the message, but some resistance still occurs.

“Some people are less willing to want to stop and take these steps — they only take 5 or 10 minutes — but they want to be on their way and our stewards do have to be patient, but yet persistent, in raising awareness that this is

PAUL SMITHS — A local college is getting more than $300,000 in federal grant monies to combat and control the spread of invasive species.

The Adirondack Watershed Institute at Paul Smith’s College accepted a grant totaling about $330,000 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during a press conference Aug. 19.

The funds will be used to implement a recreational boat inspection program aimed at preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species like zebra mussels, spiny water flea, and Eurasian water milfoil.

EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck was on hand Aug. 19 to discuss the grant.

Standing on the shores of Lower St. Regis Lake in front of the college’s Paolozzi center, Enck said stopping the spread of invasive species in the Adirondacks is critical to the health of the Lake Ontario watersheds.

Enck says the Eastern Lake Ontario Watercraft Inspectors program is being spearheaded by college staff and the Watershed Institute.

“I don’t know if everyone realizes that the Adirondacks play a vital role in terms of feeding into Lake Ontario,” she said. “We want to make sure that aquatic invasive species like zebra mussels are not a threat to our waters.”

The Great Lakes Restora-

something that somebody cares about and they should care about as well,” he said.

College President Dr. John Mills says the grant will help the Watershed Institute expand and spread its message.

Mills notes that preventive efforts like this save money in the long run.

“It’s cheaper to do prevention than it is to do remediation,” he said.

“Once we get out there and we educate the public, we’re actually going to be saving community dollars on having to attack this problem. Just look what was spent on Upper Saranac Lake when the milfoil invasion — it was over $1 million. Because it happened and it wasn’t prevented. So if you’re out there preventing, this kind of money has a return on its investment that the public as of yet probably doesn’t really understand — and we’ll be doing that.”

Sean Magers is spokesman for North Country Congressman Bill Owens, who supported the grant award for Paul Smith’s College.

Magers said that Owens is confident the money will be put to good use, adding that protecting watersheds helps the tourism economy in northern New York.

Tax cap Continued from page 1

NOTICE OF 2011 LAKE CHAMPLAIN SEA LAMPREY CONTROL TREATMENT SCHEDULE AND TEMPORARY WATER USE ADVISORIES The United States Fish and Wildlife Service announces that sea lamprey control treatments will continue this September in four tributaries and two deltas of Lake Champlain. The sea lamprey is a parasitic fish that has seriously damaged the trout and salmon fishery in the lake. Crews will apply TFM to four streams and Bayluscide to one delta area according to the following tentative schedule: Date September 7- 8 September 15

Stream Ausable/Little Ausable River delta Boquet River

Treatment dates for the Poultney River, Mt. Hope Brook and Putnam Creek have yet to be determined, but will likely be during the last two weeks in September.

These treatment dates will be announced to the local media and on the sea lamprey control hotline when they become available.

Temporary water use advisories will be in effect in specific areas following each treatment. The purpose of the advisories, developed by the Department of Health, is to minimize exposure to the sea lamprey treatment compounds.

The Department of Health recommends that river water, which may contain treatment concentrations of TFM, should not be used for drinking, swimming, fishing, irrigating, or livestock watering until the control chemical dissipates.

Nearby lake water, which may contain dilute concentrations of TFM, should not be used for drinking or livestock watering until the advisory is lifted. In the case of Bayluscide, the Department of Health recommends that the treated lake water not be used for drinking or livestock watering for 4 days following treatment, or for swimming, fishing, or irrigation for 2 days following treatment. In addition, anglers should be aware that fish within the area treated with Bayluscide may contain low levels of this compound for 14 days following treatment.

The treatment and water use advisories will have no effect on most people in the Champlain Basin and no municipal water supplies will be affected. An extensive series of mailings has already been initiated by department staff to contact landowners and renters who may be affected by the treatments. Local broadcast media will announce when advisories begin and end. There is also a toll free number (888-596-0611) the public may call for progress reports and updates on treatments and water use advisories.

To determine if you may be affected by the advisories, please consult the table below:

A day-long tax cap training event hosted by State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s office was held Aug. 25 at SUNY Plattsburgh. Supervisors from the towns of Keene, Minerva, Ticonderoga, Plattsburgh and Peru said before press time they planned on attending. The mayor of Lake George said he was not personally attending, but two of his representatives were.

William Ferebee, supervisor of Keene, said the cap definitely will affect his town, though he wasn’t sure yet if it would require budget cuts.

The state comptroller ’s guidelines regarding the cap, according to Ferebee, have so far not been clear “at all.”

What if, for an unseen reason, Ferebee said, the town had to hire a lawyer, the cost of whom would place the budget over the tax cap? What would the town do?

“Really we don’t know the ground rules yet,” Ferebee said.

Keene employees haven’t seen a pay raise in three years, and in order to grant a pay raise, Ferebee said he’d need to cut from unmandated programs.

“I’m opposed to the cap,” Ferebee said. “If there was a cap on state mandates, that would be a different story.”

Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey said the tax cap would require cuts in her town, but she wasn’t sure where in the budget.

“Everything needs to be reviewed,” Montgomery Corey said.

The Minerva supervisor said she thought the idea of managing costs was a good one, but living with a cap without mandate relief is “going to be tough.”

Ticonderoga Supervisor Debra Malaney said cuts were inevitable in her town because of the tax cap. She’s asked all departments to

Zoli Continued from page 1 he joked to the assembled audience in the auditorium as he began his remarks. “It’s a great honor to be allowed to design such a bridge here in the Adirondacks.”

Zoli said that he felt that the original Champlain Bridge, designed by Charles M. Spofford, was one of the two dozen most important bridges in the nation.

“This is one of them,” Zoli said, adding that he was hopeful when he was brought on during the decision phase of what to do with the original bridge that they could save it.

“My heart was set on a rehabilitation strategy because of how important the bridge was because of its visual and structural importance,” Zoli said.

However, Zoli said that as they looked at the evidence, the only conclusion that could be made was the demolition of the former bridge and the design and building of the new one.

Zoli said that in designing bridges, most tried to “borrow” from the past while adding innovation to the designs, as was the case with the

find at least 10 percent cuts in their budgets.

“Everything is on the table,” Malaney said.

Still, the Ticonderoga supervisor said she supported the cap, seeing it from the perspective of both a homeowner and a municipal leader.

“People need relief from taxes,” Malaney said. “We need to be able to afford to live here.”

The Ticonderoga supervisor said she wanted to know what a town was supposed to do in the unforseen event infrastructure is broken, and fixing it would put the budget over the cap.

Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Bernie Bassett said he was optimistic cuts would not be required from his budget as a result of the cap.

“We’re a lean, mean machine,” the Plattsburgh supervisor said. “We operate very frugally.”

Still, he wasn’t certain Plattsburgh would escape cuts due to the town’s lack of a general tax, and because some of the details of the cap remain unclear.

Bassett had mixed feelings about the cap, saying it represented a “broad-brush” approach.

“The tax cap is there for good purposes,” the Plattsburgh supervisor said. “The motive, the incentive, has merit. The question is ‘Can we do it?’”

While Bassett believes Plattsburgh can, he isn’t so confident about other towns.

Peru Supervisor Peter Glushko said he didn’t think the 2 percent cap was going to represent a hardship for his town.

“We are in no way anticipating that we’re going to exceed that,” Glushko said, adding that taxes have been decreasing or staying level in his town for the past two years.

The Peru supervisor described his position on the tax cap as “qualified support.”

“They have to really start tackling these unfunded mandates that come down,” Glushko said. new Champlain Bridge, adding that he had never seen as much public involvement with a bridge design process as he had with this.

“I have done a number of bridges, and the level of public input and involvement that we saw on this project is unprecedented,” he said.

“When it came to the design and choice, a process that usually takes four or five years took a week.”

Zoli said the design team received more than 3,300 votes on the new design.

“Pretty much everyone who used the old bridge had a voice on the design of the new one,” Zoli said.

Literacy Volunteers vice president James Bullard said that, while not an author, they were pleased to have Zoli as their featured speaker for the sixth annual fundraiser for the program.

“We have watched the two spans reaching out to meet each other across the lake,” Bullard said. “Ted has inspired a structure that will serve all of the people of this area for generations to come. It’s great that he has come home to design a bridge here in the heart of the Adirondacks.”

That was the complaint of a woman who lives part time near the Port Douglas Beach said at the Aug. 2 meeting of the Chesterfield Town Board.

“In a three-day span, I called the police six times,” Raymonde Grimard said at the meeting. “When they are having fun, that’s fine, but when the groups start coming, they turn up the music in their cars and you cannot hear. The drink and drink when there is no alcohol allowed.”

Grimard said that she was told before she bought the house from the previous owners that there were no problems with the house located near the beach.

“From the first week, we started to have large groups and trouble,” she said.

Town Supervisor Gerald Morrow said that he was aware of the situation, and that he had been in communication with Grimard

Jay wins community garden grant Essex County, confirming “the tremendous groundswell of community motivation for creating healthy places.” Selected projects, Ms. Darney-Buehler continued, “are those that use policy and environmental changes to improve availability of places to be physically active or availability of healthy foods.

Proposals were evaluated based on whether described projects met these criteria, had an appropriate budget, would produce the desired outcomes and would be sustainable.”

In an effort to stretch the grant dollars available and fund as many appropriate projects as possible, the county’s review committee is offering partial funding to all selected projects. In its grant application, the Town of Jay requested the full $5,000 and received 90 percent of that request.

The application was developed and drafted by volunteers serving on the community garden committee, with Fred Balzac being responsible for the text, Susan Hockert for the budget and estimated costs, and with additional input from Supervisor Douglas as well as other members of the committee.

Morrow said that the town had placed new signs at the beach prohibiting parking along the guardrails overnight and prohibiting drinking on the beach. He added that in recent weeks, he has noticed that the beach has been cleaner and there have been fewer complaints.

“When I go down there in the mornings, the place is clean,” he said. “I have taken several trips down there over the past few weeks and I have not seen anything.”

Ti man makes a tradition out of going to the Essex County fair

By Keith Lobdell WESTPORT — Frank Conlon enjoys sitting along the midway at the Essex County Fair, talking to fairgoers and watching the fair day after day.

It’s a tradition that dates back to 1928, when Conlon, 90, and living in Ticonderoga, was only 7 years old.

“Everything back then was for 10 cents,” Conlon said.

Conlon went to every day of the fair back in 1928, then did the same the next year.

And the next, all the way up to the 163rd annual edition of the fair, held last week, Aug. 10-14.

“I have never missed a day,” he said. “I feel good and I still enjoy coming. I drive up from Ticonderoga each day.”

Conlon said that even though he was suffering from a recent back ailment this year, he was not about to break his streak of days at the fair.

“I have always wanted to be here,” Conlon said. “I have always come regardless of if I had something that I was presenting in the fair or not.”

new friends and catching up with old ones.

“I spend my time over by the tractors,” Conlon said about sitting in the Yandow exhibit. “It’s a nice spot in the shade on the midway. I come here early in the morning and leave a little earlier so I can beat the heat.”

Conlon said that he can recall several of the former fairs, but remembers it more in general terms and traditions.

“I liked it when the midway and rides were up in the front of the fairgrounds,” He said. “I have always enjoyed seeing the cows in the barns, even though I haven’t been able to make it over there

this year.”

Conlon also said that, even at 90, the fair would not be complete without a visit to one of the many food vendors.

“I got my sausage,” He said. “That’s what I came here for.”

WESTPORT — The chimes of the Westport Library have been silenced.

The Westport Library Association will hold a meeting in September to vote on a resolution of an issue between them and the Inn at the Library Lawn regarding the chimes.

Both sides expressed hesitation to speak on the matter, only to say that there was an issue that was heading toward resolution concerning the chimes.

“This is a private issue that we feel has been resolved,” Anthony Wheeler, co-owner of the Inn, said.

“We are happy with how it has been resolved,” Alexandra Wheeler, co-owner, added.

Kathy Seguin, president of the Westport Library Association, said that the board still had to agree to the deal as part of their meeting next month.

“The board is in discussions and we are in the middle of resolving the issue,” Seguin said.

Seguin said that since the chimes went silent, the library has heard from members of the community.

“We have gotten some feedback,” she said.

During the past week, some community members have also started a petition aimed at restoring the sound of the chimes to the com-

munity.

“We would like to support the Library Association and request that the chimes for the clock be restored,” the petition reads.

On the website tripadvisor.com, two of eight responses bring up the matter of the chimes at the Library as being a detraction to a stay at the Inn. “...There was a clock bell that inexplicably seemed to ring all night,” one commenter, RItraveler from Rhode Island, said.

“Didn’t get any sleep there,” was the comment title of another, wundys, who is listed as a senior reviewer.

Out of eight reviews, five gave the Inn a fivestar rating.

The library board of trustees is scheduled to meet next at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14.

Primaries Continued from page 1 has led to three Republicans seeking the position, including former highway superintendent Michael Marnell, current town councilwoman Margaret “Meg” Wood and Dennis Christian.

Three Republicans are also running for a pair of town council seats, including incumbent Clara Phibbs, Donald Sage and Bruce Caza.

Incumbent highway superintendent Dana Shaughnessy will also have a primary contest against Dale Pecor.

All candidates in Schroon have requested Independent Election petitions, which are filed with the Essex County Board of Elections Aug. 23.

In Newcomb, incumbent highway superintendent Mark Yandon will run in a primary against John Helms. Yandon has not officially requested an Independent petition yet.

In Keene, incumbent Supervisor William Ferebee faces a primary challenge from Paul Vincent, with both having requested Independent petitions.

Incumbent Crown Point councilmen Charles Mazurowski and Yvonne DuShane will face a primary contest with Tara Peters and Sherlene Simpson-Barrows also seeking one of the two seats, with all four having requested Independent petitions.

No primaries in Franklin

A news release issued by the Franklin County Board of Elections states there “shall be no primary election” on Tuesday, Sept. 13.

Habitat house nears completion

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

Matthew Gellin stars in the Depot Theatre production of “Fully Committed,” starting Aug. 26.

‘Fully Committed’ set at Depot WESTPORT — The Depot Theatre is proud to present the outrageously funny one-man comedy smash hit “Fully Committed” – a theatrical tour de force that pits one versatile actor against 90 pages of text.

The play takes us into the basement of a posh Manhattan restaurant, where Sam Peliczowski (played ably by Matthew Gellin) works as the reservationist.

“Fully Committed,” was created by playwright Becky Mode and actor Mark Setlock while they were both employed by a top Manhattan restaurant. Improvised sketches of the imaginary staff and clientele were scripted by Mode and brought to life by Setlock, who won the 2000 Outer Critics Circle Award for his performance. Mode has since written for TV and film, including the famed Cosby Show and numerous other properties for HBO, Disney, Nickelodeon and ABC. The Depot production of Fully Committed is directed by Jennifer Waldman, who coached the physical antics of the Clowns in the Depot’s 2010 production of “39 Steps.”

The sets are designed by Jonathan Wentz, who joined the Depot team last year for “Glorious Feeling,” and designed the kinetic set for this year ’s premier of “Riffin’ and Tappin’.”

The role of Sam is played by Gellin, who has appeared at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park in “You Can't Take it With You,” “A Christmas Carol,” “Behind the Eye,” “The Pavilion,” “DIS/TROY,” and “Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse;” “Much ado about Nothing,” and “Romeo and Juliet,” for Shakespeare in Delaware Park; “The Physicists,” Theatre Helden; and “The Crucible,” “The Producers,” “Kiss Me Kate,” “Barefoot in the Park,” “Lend Me a Tenor,” and “Wedding Singer,” (penned by the Wicked City team of Sklar/Beguelin) at the Summer Repertory Theatre.

Fully Committed opens Friday, Aug. 26, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 4. Evening performances are at 8 p.m., with matinees on Aug. 28 and Sept. 3 at 2 p.m. The Sunday, Sept. 4, performance is at 5 p.m.

All tickets are $25, and reservations are recommended.

Tickets may be purchased online at depottheatre.org, or by calling the Box Office at 962-8680.

The Depot Theatre will offer a “Name Your Price Night” on Monday, Aug. 29. Call the Box Office for details, or visit depottheatre.org.

“We’re really lucky to have Carrie, Dan, and the other fine actors of American Studio Theater back again this year,” said production coordinator Colin Wells.

“They’ve really gained a strong following in the area, because they bring Shakespeare alive for modern audiences in a way I've never seen anywhere else.”

The performance is free and open to the public.

DOT grant will help complete recreation path Professional golf tour LAKE PLACID — A $1.2 million grant awarded to the Adirondack North Country Association will go toward completing a long-anticipated recreational path from Lake Placid to Saranac Lake within New York State's Department of Transportation's rail corridor.

The Federal Highway Administration grant is awarded to ANCA through the New York Department of Transportation for projects under the National Scenic Byways Program.

ANCA worked with Essex County

Office of Community Resources, Holmes & Associates, and the Town of North Elba to submit the grant application.

The grant will be used for the first phase of the Olympic Byway Recreational Path project: An 8-to-10-footwide multi-use path to be built along existing rail tracks connecting the Village of Lake Placid with the hamlet of Ray Brook. Once complete, it will allow access for outdoor enthusiasts - including hikers, bikers, runners, cross-country skiers and snow-

mobilers - throughout four seasons.

"The Olympic Byway Lake Placid Recreation Path project represents the culmination of a vision for alternative, multi-modal transportation facilities in the Lake Placid-Saranac Lake area that has been proposed in a number of regional transportation plans. With permits in hand and considerable community support, the Town of North Elba is committed to managing this important project," North Elba Supervisor Robert Politi said.

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Complete with a new, unified soccer conference and several other changes, the Section VII high school athletic season is just a week away.

The 2011 fall season will begin on the gridiron, as the Northern Football Conference, a joint venture of Section VII and Section X football schools, will have a full slate of games to welcome in the new school year on Labor day weekend.

Three-time defending Class D champion Moriah will open the season with a trip to face Plattsburgh High on the opening night, Friday, Sept. 2. The Vikings were 92 last season, the first time in three years that the team did not advance to the Class D championship game in Syracuse. The Hornets come off a 1-6 season and are looking to make an opening night statement.

The team that lost to the Vikings in the 2011 Class D championship game, the Ticonderoga Sentinels will host their season opener under the lights Sept. 2 as Saranac will travel to oppose them. The Sentinels and Chiefs finished the season at 6-4, with the Chiefs dropping the Class B title game against Ogdensburg.

Seton Catholic will play host to St. Lawrence Sept. 2 in a home opener, as the Knights look to rebound from an 0-8 season in 2010. St. Lawrence went 1-7 in Class A play.

All three Sept. 2 games are scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start.

On Saturday, Sept. 3, Defending Class C champion Saranac Lake will start its title defense at home with a game against former state champion Peru. The Red Storm went 10-1 in 2010, reaching the state semifinals, while the Indians were 2-6 last season.

Tupper Lake will also take to the road to open the 2011 season Sept. 3, traveling to Gouverneur. The Lumberjacks were 4-5 last season in Class D, while Gouverneur was 3-5 in Class B. The Beekmantown Eagles will also travel to open the season with a road game Sept. 3 against Potsdam, the Class A champions from a year ago (9-2). The Eagles went 5-4 last season.

All Saturday games are scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff.

Other Northern Football Conference games include Massena at Ogdensburg and Canton at Lowville on Sept. 2.

Soccer

The state’s deer plan: My two and a half cents

F

aithful followers of this column undoubtedly fell off their seats last week when I actually penned something on the state’s proposed deer management plan that was chock full of facttoids but absent of my ever-so-superfluous opinion.

Well, this week you won’t be disappointed.

Before I smash the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s plan on the floor and jump up and down on it with football cleats, however, I first want to commend them for the effort.

Honestly, we’ve had too many knee-jerk regulations put in place in the past without a thorough process involving public input and sound science. It is nice to see wildlife managers step back and look at the broader picture in the interest of a healthier herd.

The DEC has received well over 2,000 comments on this plan over the past two years, and it appears as if they are listening to us. Recommendations like expanding youth hunting and huntable land as well as increasing crossbow use and opportunities for disabled hunters are evidence of that.

But other recommendations, while put forth with good intention, are seriously flawed in my opinion — mainly because DEC just doesn’t have the “boots on the ground” to adequately implement and track them.

They are certainly not at fault for that. If the state would free up the $26-$28 million we sportsmen have sitting in the conservation fund, perhaps the trend of not filling badly-needed positions at the DEC would end.

In the meantime, I have to question the viability of proposals like the one to switch to an across-theboard doe permit system, without enough staff in place to implement them.

There is no question that a doe permit system would require a careful tracking mechanism to determine the size of the herd in any given area to work. Currently, the DEC relies heavily on things like doe sightings reported by bowhunters when determining deer numbers, and thus how many doe permits an area can support.

I’m not so sure that type of analysis of the population is going to provide sufficient data to accurately base doe permit numbers on. I also doubt they could estimate the herd quickly enough in the spring to doll out the correct number of doe permits that fall.

Further, I know wildlife officials who would argue that deer numbers change very little from one year to the next — at least in the northern zone — even after doe harvest is allowed with primitive arms. So what exactly will be gained?

Plus, I think many northern zone hunters have the same concern as me in that very few permits would be issued here. That, to me, means less opportunities for the ever-dwindling number of folks who still hunt here. According to the state’s own numbers, deer hunting has dropped 40 percent since 1980 —

Valley News - 23

can we really afford to drive anymore away?

I just don’t think the deer population, the number of hunters or the number of antlerless deer they take during bow and muzzleloader seasons fluctuates that much, and it certainly hasn’t decimated the herd.

At the same time, I would argue that the DEC routinely underestimates the number of people who harvest deer yet fail to report their take as required — but that’s a column for another day.

Antler restrictions I’ll keep this one short and sweet — I’m not a fan of antler restrictions. I’m not a trophy hunter — never have been. Nice antlers are a bonus, but they’re really chewy no matter how thin you slice them. You want monster racks? Watch the outdoor channel.

I’m also skeptical that antler restrictions would make much of a difference in New York. Unless you’re talking about a heavily managed ranch somewhere, I’ve seen very little hard evidence that restrictions actually create more opportunity for larger racked deer, at least in the wild. In fact, I’ve read studies that say just the opposite — that removing the herd’s older deer with the best genetics can actually be detrimental to antler growth.

Meanwhile, young deer taste better and are often less apt to make it through a severe winter. This region has always been about survival of the fittest — so why harvest only the fittest?

Longer season Lastly, I just can’t bite my tongue on the proposed extension of the seasons, most of which benefits bow hunters.

Before I continue, though, I want to make one point absolutely clear — I am an avid bowhunter — I absolutely love the sport and I admire anyone with the patience and dedication to harvest a deer with a bow.

But it seems like every time the state tries to increase opportunities — youth and crossbow hunting immediately come to mind — they first have to appease the bowhunting lobby before it can be enacted.

You can’t tell me that the addition of nearly two weeks to the front end of the bow season in the southern zone, for example, wasn’t an olive branch given to bowhunters because they will have to put up with three days of youth in the woods with firearms.

An additional week of bowhunting is also proposed for the northern zone, pushing the last day of regular season to Dec. 9 and the last day of late muzzleloader to Dec. 16. I don’t know about where you hunt, but around my camp the deer are normally in their yards by then, and does are pregnant.

Is a season at that time sound science?

Here’s an idea; change the license year to allow kids in the woods before Oct. 1. Then, why not give them first crack at the forest when the deer are still in their natural patterns.

Wait a minute .... was that a collective gasp of air I just heard from the bowhunter groups?

Better tack on another week of bow or it’ll never fly.

ast week’s column about the tradition of camp life, has sparked a deluge of responses.

It appears Adirondackers are very proud of their camps, which have provided many with a connection to the land, for generations. It is also obvious that camp life continues to be a vital component of our regional identity, heritage and culture.

Undoubtedly, the charm of a camp is proportional to the simple, simplicity of it all. It involves a return to the basics, and the opportunity to escape from the intrusions and demands imposed by the social and technological constraints of modern, everyday life.

Camp life moves at a slower pace, and it occurs in a place where you can let your hair down, and be yourself.

It is a place where your stomach often aches from the combination of too much food, and too much laughter. It is where the air is always fresher, the water is cleaner and life is sweeter. It is a place to uncover new adventures, and to relive old traditions. It is where Ideally, the view from the front door of a camp, should always overlook a lake, pond or stream. we go to recover, to be Photo by Joe Hackett free and to become absorbed in a quieter, deeper, and older way of life.

Some claim that camp is not even a place, and it simply cannot be considered a physical location. Although we arrived at camp by various means of transportation, we only fully arrive by achieving the proper state of mind!

Camp is defined by a certain primitive nature and the spirit of simplicity. A camp was never intended to have electricity, a telephone, or a satellite dish located along the lakeshore. The outside world should not be allowed to violate the sanctuary of camp. If it does, it’s no longer a camp; it’s just a second home.

Even though we go to camp in order to escape the rules and routines of society, many camps have their own distinct set of rules, or an established code of conduct.

Primarily, these rules were developed for the safety of visitors to Adirondack hunting and fishing camps. However, I’d like to believe they are applicable to all camps. I’ve included several that readers have contributed, which are listed in no particular order.

A Camp Code of Misconduct Above all else, what happens in camp, stays in camp, period.

Before departing, please extinguish all fires, tie up all boats, close all windows, lock all doors and be sure to unlock the woodshed; so that your mother-in-law can leave with you.

Etiquette is not welcome here, nor are lawyers, even if they’re family.

Camp is a place where you can spit, cuss, pass gas or scratch ‘yer butt in public, and nobody cares.

Baths can only be considered an optional activity, for the first month in camp.

First one up makes the coffee, last one down stokes the woodstove, and all others do dishes.

A dish is considered clean, if the last meal eaten off of it cannot be identified. Shirts and/or pants will be held to similar standards.

Camp windows may only be broken, if the front door is stuck on Chili Night.

Socks may be utilized as toilet tissue, and shirtsleeves as a handkerchief; only if they are your own personal items.

The front porch can only be utilized as a rest room, if no women are present in camp.

For those using the top bunks, please respect the posted weight limits.

Camp members reserve the rights to use any available methods necessary to limit the decibel level of chronic snorers.

Please remove all live ammunition from trousers, before hanging them over the woodstove to dry.

Television has no place in camp, nor do telephones, cell phones or other similarly, modern conveniences. If you feel a need to communicate with the outside world, please walk outside and yell!

Forget what needs to be done tomorrow, and also what you did yesterday, ‘cuz today, you’re in camp!

Pick up your food scraps; remember mice have to eat too!

The ‘five second rule’ does not apply to beer, whiskey or chew.

The number of points on a buck’s rack, or the size of a fish taken, cannot increase by more than 33 percent per season, regardless the state of a camp member ’s intoxication.

If you become lost, fire off only three shots. Search parties are easily discouraged!

If it gets real dark inside your camp, real quick, you may need to refill the lantern.
