NCSPCA nears funding goals

Field, Forest and Stream Day schedule set

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT — The North Country SPCA is pr eparing for a big move and needs the help of the community to take the final step.

The shelter has plans for a new building to house its pet population, replacing the current facility at the beginning of the Lake Shor e Road in W estport with a new facility that would be located near the former Mountain Shadows Restaurant between W estport and Elizabethtown.

So far , the or ganization has raised over $1.25 million for the new building, which is just shy of their goal of $1.5 million.

Margaret Miller of the NCSPCA said that for the rest of the funds, if they are able to raise $125,000, they will be able to r eceive a pri-

Elizabethtown Community Hospital to offer annual hunter screening

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Local sportsmen will have the chance again this year to check their physical health before hitting the woods at Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

The annual Hunters’ Health S creening w ill t ake place at ECH on W ednes-

day, Sept. 28 from 4 to 6 p.m.

“Traditionally, men in general are a gr oup of people that will try and put of f going to the doctor ,” Jane Hooper, director of community relations at ECH, said.

“We want to make sure that people in our community are healthy, especially when they are going to be alone or separated fr om their party out in the woods, and hauling deer around or heavy

equipment.”

Hooper said that the event helps to make people more r esponsible for their health, with the fr ee health screening allowing sportsmen the opportunity to have a physical that will assess their overall health before they set out. Results will be reviewed by a physician that evening, and an opportunity for consultation will follow.

The physical will include blood pr essure, glucose, cholesterol and oxygen levels assessments, vision, height and weight checks, and an EKG reading.

A team of nurses and lab

staff, led by Dr. Moisan, will conduct the health scr eening.

Hooper said, along with the health scr eening, ther e will also be chances for sportsmen to learn about the new season and tell their own stories.

“There will be displays and people on hand to talk about the season,” Hooper said. “It’s a chance for hunters to get together and tell their stories and have a check up while they are doing that.”

A representative from the state Department of Environmental Conservation will be on hand to answer

his fall brings us some unexpected highway work. Route 9 south at Lobdell Lane is now one lane wide and controlled by stoplights. Keep to the west side of the road, away from where the road washed away during the storm. Other damaged roads are River Street, Hurricane Lane, and Wadhams Road. The new footbridge was also damage and part of the recently built trail at Footbridge Park was washed away.

Families on lower River Street near Fisher Bridge are still digging out from mud and debris. Traffic coming through town, especially the rock filled dump trucks, are moving fast on Court Street, so please use the crosswalks.

Fortunately we had help from “Labor For Your Neighbor” and the National Guard. Those groups, based in E- town last weekend, helped our neighbors in the Ausable Valley. Namaste B&B, which is owned by the Testa’s, hosted one of the men in charge of disaster relief. The man hadn’t been told that some Elizabethtown homes also suffered flood damage. When Ron Testa drove him to lower River Street, the need be came clear. He promised that

the next morning help would arrive. Sure enough, two busloads of soldiers and volunteers appeared and went right to work.

A mountain of water soaked debris was removed, mud was scraped off floors, and walls were washed. Their help was a welcome relief.

A big thanks also goes to the Elizabethtown Fire Department and Town Highway Department for the tremendous work they did during the hurricane. We’re fortunate to have such dedicated workers and volunteers in Elizabethtown.

On a happier note, two local history buffs, Phil Jackson and Brent Vosburg, will join their comrades in arms in Lewis, Sept.

16-18 for Civil War Days. Other re-enactors will come from all over the state to join them. You can see them at the Mt. Fay Fish & Game Club on County Rte 12 (Stowersville Road) in Lewis.

The 49th ELCS reunion for the class of 1962 will be held on Sept. 17 at the Otis Farm and will be hosted by Harry Gough.

Remembering all their old school days, they will start planning a big 50th reunion for 2012. Class members who want to attend should get in touch with Harry at 8739225.

NORTHCOUNTRYSPCA ave you and your friends or coworkers registered yet?

This week the NCSPCA would like to remind you about the swiftly approaching, Gimme Shelter benefit to be held on Friday, October 7th at the Westport Country Club. This exciting event, held at noon (registration begins at 11 a.m.), is a great way to end the golfing season while knowing your contribution will benefit our animals far into the future. We will be matching contributions dollar-for-dollar toward support of our new shelter. This golf extravaganza includes a buffet and prizes following completion of play. The format will be 18-hole scramble. The entry fee of $260 per team ($65/player) is money well spent toward both a day of fun, and helping us achieve our dream of a modern shelter better equipped to meet the needs of our furry friends. To download a printable application, please visit our website at www.ncspca.org.

Our featured pet this week is Mazy, a pretty, all-white Staffordshire Bull Terrier/mix who was featured previously and hopes that she will soon find her forever

home. Although she is an older dog, Mazy both looks and acts much younger than her age. She is an affectionate lady who hopes to share her love of life with the perfect family. When Mazy came to us, she was undernourished and had significant medical issues; however, with the tender care of the shelter staff, she has recovered her good looks and spirit. You won't be able to help but fall in love with her sweet personality. Why not stop by today and say, “hello?”

On Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 7:30 p.m., I'll give the first of seven Tuesday evening lectures coming up at the Whallonsburg Grange. The lecture series is called The Story Behind the Story, and each week I'll take a classic Victorian novel and talk about its historical background. First up is The Moonstone (1868), by Wilkie Collins, an exciting story which is also considered to be the very first detective novel. One of the things I'll be talking about is the history of police work and the establishment of professional detective bureaus like Scotland Yard. Hope to see you there.

Then on Thursday, Sept. 22, the Westport Library Association will host an evening of classical music performed by Janice Kyle, Hans Himelein, and Timothy Mount. It's free and open to the public and if it's cool enough there might be a fire in the fireplace.

Finally, next time the power goes out, call National Grid at 1 (800) 867-5222.

Keep this number by your phone, since the power company prioritizes repairs based on how many calls they get. Your call counts!

ESSEX

I

n downtown Essex, the contractor is connecting houses and businesses to the sewer lines, and the treatment plant is operating. I hope there will be an open house this fall so the public can see the plant up close, and before you dismiss this suggestion, let me assure you this particular treatment system creates very little odor. Now that the sewer problems are solved, the next big project will be to improve the source of the hamlet’s drinking water. Drilled wells are the way to go, even though there’s a great big lake right there. Lake water requires a lot of expensive filtering, while water from deep underground is usually quite pure, much cheaper to process, less subject to outside regulation and better tasting.

For you movie buffs, the film society kicks off their fall season with “Jane Eyre” which will be shown at the Whallonsburg Grange this Saturday, Sept. 17, at 8 p.m.

Admission is only $5 for adults.

The Adirondack Art Association has gone to their fall schedule and will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only until Columbus Day. The Valley News’ very fine Westport correspondent, Colin Wells, is presenting a se-

ries of seven lectures on seven great novels at the Whallonsburg Grange. The series starts Tuesday Sept. 20, and each talk begins at 7:30 p.m. I couldn’t locate the titles of the books to be discussed, but perhaps Colin himself will let you know in his column.

The North Country SPCA is holding a golf tournament on October 7 at the Westport Country Club to raise funds for the new shelter. Ginny, being mostly border collie, has no fetching instincts and disdains any games involving balls, but in this case she would urge you sign up for this excellent cause.

Although the misery caused by Irene is mostly gone, the Boquet damaged or destroyed several houses in and near Whallonsburg. I’ve gotten several emails from readers listing all sorts of groups and individuals to whom our town is indebted for their service during and after the storm.

Most of these people are very modest and would rather not see their names in print, so I would suggest that if you feel particularly grateful, let that person or group know with a hand written note, or a plate of brownies, or a nice donation.

he cleanup after the storm “Irene” is still in effect and will be for several days ahead, the ones that had flooding are going to take a lot of work to get back to a more normal way of life. Well I have now experienced another first in my life; on Wed. of this past week, Dr. Volk replaced my old knee with a new artificial knee joint. Things are going quite well and I have been able to return home the following Saturday to do rehab at home. Wonders never cease in what they can now do in medicine and I am most grateful.

It has been hard to believe that it was ten years ago that the United States was attacked on Sept. 11, much has changed in our country as a result and we now have to learn to live with these changes. The celebration to honor this anniversary in New York City was very impressive; thanks to television the whole country could attend the event. We had a big celebration here in Willsboro on the first day of the school

opening. A Reprehensive from the Education Dept. in Washington, John White came to hold a roundtable discussion with the local school staff and some community members on the needs of rural schools. He complemented the staff and students on receiving the CFES (College For Every Student) awarded to Willsboro School for the past academic year by Rick Dalton. As a community we have much to be proud of in our school system.

Dan and Cathy Sweatt are pleased to announce the marriage of their son Jacob & Tina Sweatt. Their marriage took place on Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Methodist Church in Chateaugay. Congratulations to a long and happy life together.

Happy Birthday to: Belated greetings to Abigail Boardman Sept. 9, Peter Rowley Sept. 21, Justin Drinkwine Sept. 21, Madeline Blanchard Sept. 23, Ethel Doyle Sept.

he area is still cleaning up from our recent bouts of storms. The Family Dollar is still closed and I haven’t received any projected reopening date yet. Overall, other than some tree limbs and carpets left outside to dry a lot of Keeseville looks to be returning to normal at least from the outside. While I was amazed at all the damage to the local community I have to say that I am speechless from talking to my family who live in the Binghamton area of New York. The damage is horrific and the water is still flooding.

My thoughts and prayers do go out to everyone affected by the various storms.

Locally, our schools have resumed for the year with some nice new looks to the Keeseville School and Bus garage. I will make a point of getting more events occurring at the school in my column in the future.

I believe that the Keeseville Free Library has switched to winter hours now which means that it is only open Monday through

Friday with Monday being ten until noon and then one until seven, Tuesday and Thursday from eleven until five and Wednesday and Friday from ten until noon and one until five. Traditionally it is a quiet time for the library crew after a busy summer, but there are still plenty of new books as well as some books for sale as well so it is always worth a visit.

Finally got my backyard all cleaned up and mown, but again I had nothing to complain about as I just lost a bunch of small branches from the various trees on my property. It was strange not having any birds or chipmunks at my feeders for days after the storm but I’m happy, as well as my cat in the window, that they have all returned now. After something like this, it is really easier to look around with eyes that truly appreciate what we have normally as it should never be taken for granted that it will always be there. Stay safe and well everyone.

Valley News Editorial

‘Online first’ a news priority

W

hen our publisher, Dan Alexander, told his editors that life in the newsroom would change dramatically when we launched our new websites — all 24 of them — he wasn’t kidding.

And then he said something that didn’t quite sink in until the switchover finally took place Aug. 2 6, j ust i n t ime f or t wo h istoric news events, the Lake Champlain Bridge ar chlift and Tropical Storm Irene. He said, “We are no longer a newspaper organization, we are a news organization.”

Daily newspapers are already in “news organization” mode, as are radio and television stations, and they have known for years the importance of uploading br eaking news to their websites as it happens.And the public — with an ever-growing appetite for digital news — expects the most up-to-date news on demand.

If people feel an earthquake, for example, people want to log on to their local news website and find out what has just happened, ASAP. And if the story is not ther e, they’ll move on to another news website until they find the story. The goal of a news organization today is to be the first website people turn to for news of importance to them.

For weekly newspapers, like we publish, the news pace has traditionally been much different. We’ve had a week to r eport and publish the news, not hours or minutes. W eekly newspaper editors and publishers have been trying to set their products apart from dailies for well over 100 years. Then radio edged into the news market, television followed, along with 24-hour cable news channels, and the Internet blew the news business wide open. Our society now demands instant gratification.

For weeklies to r emain in business, they must continue to be relevant to their readers, in print and online. That’s a delicate balance, and it’s an ongoing str uggle between the online-savvy cub reporter — who grew up with a Bluetooth device in his ear — and the hardnosed news veteran — who banged out stories on typewriters with a cigarette behind his ear.

The bottom line is both pr oducts have to be special enough to attract r eaders and consumers.

Consumers?

Yes, in today’s news or ganization, it’s not enough to attract r eaders to a news website.

Today’s news consumers want a multimedia approach to storytelling. That means wor ds, photos, video and audio. Luckily , our new websites have these features, and we are taking f ull a dvantage o f t hem w ith o ur s torytelling.

When our r eporters cover events, we now

try to get photos for slide shows and video. W e also have the opportunity to put str eaming audio files and podcasts on the sites.

We’ve recently been having great fun trying to get br eaking news online befor e our competitors. We want to be “online first” or “first online” because we want you to know you can rely on Denton Publications and our sister news groups — New Market Press in Vermont, Eagle News Group in Central New York, and the Spotlight Newspaper Gr oup in the Capital District — to bring you breaking news that is important to you.

Here is a sampling of r ecent news stories posted on our websites before anyone else: •At 6:00 a.m. Aug. 26, two minutes after the Lake Champlain Bridge ar ch began leaving Port Henry for Crown Point, we had the story online. Within an hour, we had a photograph uploaded. By the end of the day , we had a video online and another story. The next day, we had a 10-photo slide show of the move and another story. We couldn’t p rint the stories and photos until the following week, but we were able to bring you the latest news with our websites, before anyone else.

•On the morning of Aug. 29, minutes after State Police said they had found another woman’s body in the Gr eat Chazy River , we had the news online. Plus we had video of an eyewitness.

•At 10:52 a.m. Aug. 26, we posted the story of Sophie Clarke, a W illsboro High School graduate who is on the new cast of the “Survivor” television show. (It’s a mystery why the Press-Republican printed, “W e had this first online at 5:30 p.m. yester day,” in its Sept. 13 edition.) We even had the story in two Valley News editions before the PR had it “first online.”

•At 11:29 a.m. Sept. 12, while Gov. Cuomo’s press conference was still in progress, we were the first to post news online that Route 73 between Keene V alley and the Northway was open.

We take pride in giving you the news in print and online and tell those stories in a variety of ways. And we are confident more people will notice our transition fr om a weekly community newspaper group to a multimedia news organization that continues to focus on local news.

DEC opens Dix Mt. Wilderness Trail conditions still sketchy after Irene

RAY BROOK— The New York State Department of Envir onmental Conservation (DEC) Monday , Sept. 12 opened the Dix Mountain W ilderness and all trailheads along Route 73, with the exception of the main Adirondack Mountain Reserve T railhead at the Ausable Club.

The decision came shortly after Gov . Andrew Cuomo announced that Route 73 is now open between Keene V alley and the Adirondack Northway , which had been closed since T ropical Storm Ir ene damaged bridges and sections of the highway onAug. 28.

The DEC has now r eopened the thr ee wilderness areas and a majority of trails that were closed as a re sult of damage from Tropical Storm Ir ene. However , some trails r emain closed in both the Eastern High Peaks and the Dix Mountain W ildernesses due to significant amount of blowdown, washed out bridges and eroded and cobbled trails.

TRAIL ADVISORIES: Trails that ar e not closed still may have bridges washed out and water levels in most rivers and br ooks are at spring high water levels. Cr ossings may be impassable at this time. These trails may also have blowdown, er oded sections or flooded areas. Pay close attention as many

trails have been r erouted to avoid heavily damaged sections and eroded drainages can be mistaken for trails. The ability to navigate with a map and compass is important.

The High Peaks T rail Information has a complete list of closed trails and the conditions for open trails. It will be updated as trails are reopened.

CAMPGROUND INFORMA TION: 21 of the 41 Adirondack DEC Campgrounds have closed for the season as er gularly scheduled.

Fall camping is available through Columbus Day Weekend at 20 Adirondack DEC Campgrounds.

-Clinton County: Ausable Point -Essex County: Cr own Point, Paradox Lake, and Wilmington Notch -Franklin County: Fish Cr eek, Meacham Lake, and Saranac Lake Islands -Fulton County: Northampton Beach -Hamilton County: Eighth Lake, Indian Lake Islands, Lake Durant, Lewey Lake, Moffit Beach, and Sacandaga -Warren County: Lake Geor ge Battleground, Lake Geor ge Islands (Glen Island, Long Island, & Narr ow Island), and Rogers Rock -Herkimer County: Nicks Lake This was the latest update as of pr ess time.

For more information and updates, visit the state’s High Peaks T rails page on the DEC website at www.dec.ny.gov.

Hikers enjoy the view atop Coon Mountain.

CATS trail system starts to open WESTPORT — With many Adirondack trails r emaining closed and as others r eopen, it may be a good time for hiking enthusiasts, residents, and visitors to travel to the Champlain Valley.

“The trail network is now open in the central valley towns of W estport, Essex, and Willsboro and we plan to expand into neighboring towns and thr oughout the V alley,” Chris Mar on, executive dir ector of Champlain Area Trails (CATS), said. “All the trails are open, so if hikers are shut out of their favorite hiking ar eas, they might explor e our trails. There may be a few fallen logs across the trails but ther e are few if any r utted or washed out areas or missing bridges.”

The CA TS trail system includes hikes to valley peaks featuring views of the Champlain V alley, Lake Champlain, the High Peaks, and Gr een Mountains of V ermont.

The trails also take hikers past beaver ponds, small br ooks, open meadows, and thr ough diverse forests.

“I r ecommend the W ildway Overlook

Trail and Coon Mountain to people who want views,” CA TS trail committee chairman Bill Amadon said. “For those who want a long hike, take the Boquet Mountain Trail to the Homestead Trail, and then the Bobcat Trail. Split Rock’s trails offers great opportunities for hiking and Black Kettle Trail is a neat little hike with almost everything.”

“We ar e fortunate that years ago, the Adirondack Land T rust and State of New York put in their hiking trails at Coon Mountain and Split Rock,” Mar on said. “Since then, we have developed over 10 miles of new trails and most of them ar e r elatively easy and pleasant hikes. We are working to make it so people can hike fr om hamlet to hamlet, which is something that draws many visitors to Gr eat Britain and New Zealand. We envision that kind of system here which will incr ease tourism and take some pressure off the High Peaks trails.”

Maps of the CA TS trail system can be found at www.champlainareatrails.com.

CVFS movie planned WHALLONSBURG — On Satur day, Sept. 17, the Champlain Valley Film Society presents “Jane Eyre,” a timeless love story by Charlotte Bronte.

A poor young governess, Jane falls in love with the master of the house, the wealthy and coldhearted Mr . Rochester.

vate matching grant that will comple te the fundraising needs.

“The campaign has been going extr emely well,” Miller said. “W e ar e very close. We know that we have this matching fund that if we can raise $125,000, there are three private donors who will match. By this week, we plan to be over half way there.”

The NCSPCA has been out in the community , actively working for donations through a yar d sale at the Whallonsburg Grange and a music night in Essex.

“That was a highly successful and wonderful evening,” Miller said.

The NCSPCA will also host the Gimmie Shelter Golf Tournament to benefit the North Country SPCA will be held on Friday, Oct. 7, at the Westport Country Club.

“There was an idea to try a golf tournament and it seemed like a great opportunity for us,” Miller said.

Along with NCSPCA projects, there have been a number of people who have do-

Catie Maye of Moriah and her mother , Ther esa, set a goal to raise $1,000 for the shelter ’s Capital Campaign.

The two held a bake sale and basket raf fle in Port Henry , and t hey w ere a ble t o r aise $1,201.

Maillane Morison and Olivia Hess announced a dog wash to benefit the shelter at their Essex church.

At one bake sale in Hague, where the girls go to camp, Penelope Taylor of Milton, Mass.; Suzanne Savage of Norwalk, Conn.; and Lucy Loper of Pawlet, Vt. raised $150.15 to support the shelter. One mother gener ously matched their earnings, making their total donation $300.30.

In July, thr ee childr en on Willsboro Point decided they wanted to do something special for the animals at the North Country SPCA. Harrison Albano or ganized a lemonade stand. Using borrowed golf carts and their bikes, Alexandra and Samantha Trulson organized a run for children called “Point Runs for Pet.” T ogether, they raised over $61.

was a victim of the current economic climate.

“Deep and ongoing budget shortfalls ar e responsible for this decision, which was a hard one to make,” Jankowska said. “However, despite the fact that we did everything we could, including not filling two staff positions, and slashing our materials budgets each year, we were faced with no alternative. Unfortunately, we needed to make a tough decision between fulfilling our mission to pr ovide services to member libraries or to continue the bookmobile service. Our current budget climate simply cannot support both.”

The Bookmobile takes a monthly r oute thr oughout the communities of the thr ee counties which it serves. Stops throughout each month include the Saranac town hall, Cadyville fir e station parking lot, Roderick Road Apartments, Morrisonville Post Office parking lot, St. Regis Falls Adult Center , Dickinson Center Fir e Station parking lot, Moira Cr ossroads parking lot, Br ushton Boltser ’s IGA, North Bangor Post Of fice, Port Kent, Keeseville Country Gardens, Clintonville near Methodist Church, Ada Court in Cliff Haven, W inebrook Hills Citizens Bank parking lot, Newcomb S chool p arking l ot, M inerva t own h all, O lmstedville four corners, Grover Hills Deli, Yandon-Dillon Center in Mineville, W est Road in W itherbee, Moriah Fir e Department, Pyramids Preschool in Morrisonville, Clinton County Seniors in Plattsbur gh, V ilas Home parking lot in Plattsburgh, Flynn Avenue in Plattsburgh, Treadwells Mills, Lewis four corners, North Hudson town hall, Lord Howe in Ticonderoga, Chilson Community Hall, Lake Clear Post Office, Gabriels, Bloomingdale, Vermontville Post Office, Redford C hurch o f t he Assumption, R ouses P oint, B eekmantown, Whippleville, North Star Industries, Constable, Westville, Fort Covington, Peasleeville, Per u, Ellenburg Center, Churubusco, Brainardsville and Lyon Mountain.

“The fact that this decision had to be made brings home the budget r ealities that libraries have been facing for the past decade, during which library state aid funding has been cut six times,” Jankowska said. “The numbers pr etty much say it all.”

According to CFLS, reductions in New York State funding have amounted to a decr ease of $290,348, or 21.81 per cent from 2007 to 2011, while personnel benefits have increased by $91,936, or 33 percent during the same period.

The cost of r unning the bookmobile service in 2010 was $133,709.

The Bookmobile has been offered continuously since 1956, and it became an integral part of the pro gram. It offers a full range of library services to mor e than 1,800 r eaders of all ages in the three-county area.

“Our patr ons have r eally stuck with us thr ough the years,” Driver Robert W elch stated as part of the pr ess release. “We see quite a few grandchildr en of kids that used the bookmobile while they wer e growing up. Our patr ons are the best, and it’s obvious that our service will be missed.” stated bookmobile driver Robert Welch.

“The timing is especially unfortunate given the fact that two local book stor es ar e closing,” Jankowska said. “It’s a sad time for readers in our region. We intend to work with member libraries to come up with a plan to provide library services to the r esidents that have traditionally depended on the bookmobile for their r ecreational and educational reading materials.”

Jean Rook of Burlington said that she was sailing on the Lake as the Lois McClure made its way to Essex.

“We were sailing and we saw it coming down the lake,” Rook said.

“We had a good, up-close look at it. Then, I saw a poster in the grocery stor e that night saying that the boat was going to be in Essex, so I knew that we had to bring the kids to see it.”

Cuomo joins local representatives to open State Route 73, commends DOT workers

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com KEENE VALLEY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo Monday , Sept. 12 announced that both lanes of Route 73 between Keene Valley and the Adirondack Northway (Exit 30) ar e now open.

“We’ve made r emarkable progress in a very short period of time,” he said.

The announcement was made at 1 1 a.m. on Route 73 near the town of Keene hamlet of St. Huberts only seven days after the governor promised the highway would be open in 10 days.

“Over the weekend, I was at an event and a lady came up to me and told me that she heard the road was going to be opened this week,” state Sen. Elizabeth “Betty” Little said.

“I didn’t think that could happen, but then I got the call yesterday from the governor’s office and here we are.”

“This is a gr eat example of

Keene Supervisor William “Bill” Ferebee addresses those gathered at the reopening of Route 73 Sept. 12. Behind are Gov. Andrew Cuomo, State Senator Elizabeth "Betty" Little, Deputy Secretary of State for Local Government Dede Scozzafava and state assemblywoman Teresa Sayward.

Photo by Keith Lobdell partnership between the Department of T ransportation and our states contractors,” Joan McDonald, commissioner of the DOT , said. “Gov .

Cuomo made it clear to all of us that the r econstruction of Route 73 should be a top priority.”

“I want to thank all of the DOT workers who r eally did an extraordinary job on this,” Cuomo said. “There is a lot of work still to be done, but we have r eally made gr eat progress, and I could see that as I flew in over the region.”

Cuomo said that the efforts of recovery shows that “government actually worked” in terms of assessing the damage

and putting a plan in place to help the residents of the state, including Essex County and the Adirondacks.

“The Adirondacks are open for business,” Cuomo said.

“We want to get that word out throughout the state.”

“It’s exciting to see that we are now going to have this road open,” Little said.

“The work that has been done jointly by (Keene Supervisor) Bill Ferebee, the chairman of the boar d (Jay’s Randall “Randy” Douglas) and the governor has been amazing,” state Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward said.

Ferebee said that he was grateful on behalf of the town

for the support he had r eceived from the local and state representatives.

“They have been very supportive during this time of need,” Fer ebee said. “The governor has shown that we are not for gotten her e in the North Country and in Essex County.”

Crews fr om ar ound the state conver ged on the town of Keene to r ebuild bridges and sections of the highway destroyed by flash flooding during Tropical Storm Ir ene, which hit the area Aug. 28.

While Route 73 was closed, traffic to and from the Adirondack Northway was detoured through Elizabethtown.

gently float back down to the earth.

The problem was, life kept getting in the way.

“Just getting around to it and making the phone call r eally was the only thing that held me up,” Geiling, now 80, said.

Ever since I was 16, it has been my dream to skydive.”

It was a dr eam that Geiling had shar ed with her family, including her husband, Jerry, five children and 17 grandchildren, who then got the idea to pull together and pr esent the matriar ch of the family with the chance to experience what she had always wanted to do.

“They presented me with the gift of a lifetime, and the experience lived up to the years of anticipation,” Geiling said. “It was one of those things wher e we were running the family business and just life kept com-

ing on us, and suddenly I was pr esented with this gift.”

On Aug. 24, Geiling cashed in her skydiving opportunity at Saratoga Sky Dive.

Geiling boar ded the plane with her instructor, whom she tandem jumped with and climbed to 9,000-feet.

Then, the chance to take that first step finally came.

“You take that step, and you ar e just going straight down,” Geiling said. “It’s scary and thrilling all at once.”

Geiling and her instructor were in free-fall for about 45 second before the parachute deployed, b ringing t hem t he r est o f t he w ay down.

“We were doing about 120 mph,” Geiling said. “I was cheer ed on by my family and friends, and I returned to the safe and smiling.”

ollowing a couple of wet and wild weeks, the weather has finally returned to more predictable patterns. However, a combination of warm, sunny days and plenty of standing water has helped mosquitoes return to the woods.

Unfortunately, the winged warriors have returned in swarms, just in time for the arrival of our annual Indian Summer. Where’s the snow, ice and cold weather when we need it?

Another woodland oddity of early autumn is an unusual proliferation of spider webs. It seems the webs are everywhere, and it’s been difficult to walk more than a few paces on the trail, without feeling a spider web in the face.

Despite the bugs, the webs, and the bad weather, we are rapidly approaching the Sportsman’s High Holy Days of Autumn. It is a timeframe that allows a return to our roots; where we can revel in the joy of outdoor sports, and share in the adventures that bind all outdoor sporting enthusiasts.

In recent months, there’s been a flurry of legislative activity that will affect sporting endeavors across the generations. The most important of these measures was approval of a new Junior Archery License that allows twelve-year old archers to participate in the annual Big Game Hunting Season, when accompanied by a licensed, adult archer.

Predictions on the 2011 rut P

erhaps the number one question I hear from whitetail hunters this time of year is if I’ve read any predictions about when peak breeding activity will occur this fall.

Since vacation time is limited for most, it seems everyone wants to be in the woods for that ever-so-crucial time when mature bucks are looking for love, and thus let their guard down, albeit for a minute or two.

There is little debate that a heck of a lot more mature bucks would die of old age in these parts if it weren’t for the rut, when both bucks and does become less nocturnal and wary.

Some pr ognosticaI have read a ton tors, lik e Charles Alof information on sheimer, believe the secforecasting peak ond full moon af ter the breeding activity, but perhaps no one Autumnal Equino x — has done as much known as the rutting research on the moon — is what triggers subject or is held in higher regard than the beginning of breedrut prediction guru ing activity.

Charles Alsheimer, This y ear, the rutting who is a native of moon will take place on western NY. Alsheimer uses Thursday, Nov. 10. phases of the moon to forecast when whitetails will come into estrous, and I’ve found his predictions to be on the mark more often than not.

At the same time, I’m always interested in what others have so say and I recently stumbled across some research done by wildlife biologists of the Quality Deer Management Association.

The group studied fetuses taken from dead deer and monitored when fawns were born to determine — in some cases within a day or two — when a doe was bred.

Since the gestation period for a doe is more or less 198 days, it can be calculated with accuracy when conception occurred by simply aging a fetus or monitoring when birth occurs and counting back.

The folks at Quality Deer Management did just that, keeping accurate track of the results over several years.

Interestingly — their finding pretty closely mirrors that of Alsheimers.

Both predict the peak of breeding activity at nearly the same time each year — this year they’ve pegged it at between Nov. 10 and 24.

Alsheimer narrowed it just a bit more, putting peak breeding at between Nov. 13-24.

Alsheimer also breaks the rut down into four phases: the pre-rut; seeking and chasing; peak breeding and post or secondary rut. Together they encompass pretty much all of our hunting seasons, from mid-October to mid-December.

But for most, the most interesting to watch is the seeking and chasing phase (this year predicted to be Nov. 312) and the peak breeding phase (Nov. 13-24). So, you really can’t go wrong scheduling a week of vacation during this time, but keep in mind that many believe outside influences such as weather and available food sources can affect peak breeding times.

DEC and federal funds

I spoke to Jason Kemper, chairman of the NYS Conservation Fund Advisory Board, to get an update of where the state stands in potentially losing more than $20 million in federal funding for conservation programs here.

These funds come from excise taxes on a slew of sporting equipment like firearms, bows, fishing rods & reels and ammunition, and are paid back to states to help with wildlife programs, benefitting sportsmen.

The potential of losing the funds came to light early this summer when the feds found out that the NY Department of Budget allows legislators to tap into special revenue accounts — like the Conservation Fund — if need be to balance the budget.

Wether lawmakers intend to raid the fund or not, the loophole of them being able to was enough for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to threaten pulling millions in aid to DEC, further crippling this important agency.

According to Kemper, the DEC is in negotiations with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and is awaiting a letter alerting them of the status of the funds.

The state has already received its payment for this fiscal year, so if the money is discontinued it would happen next year, Kemper said.
