Keene Science slam attracts community

By Katherine Clark keith@denpubs.com KEENE — Volcanoes, time machines, a life size model of the human body and models of centrifugal force were some of the many things demonstrated for visitors at Keene Central School’s Science Slam March 8.

The event was a platform for over 60 students and 20 community groups to hold exhibits and open up dialogue with visitors about different and fun avenues of science.

“Really, the goal of this event is just to get kids ex-

cited about science,” organizer Jen Kazmierczak said.

“It’s not your typical science fair.”

The exhibits were put in place by parents, teachers and community members interested in bringing science alive for the students. Kazmierczak said it was just an idea that grew rapidly.

“As soon as we suggested it, the teachers got engaged, the principal supported it and we just ran with it and we couldn’t believed the amount of enthusiasm we got,” Kazmierczak said.

Visitors were welcomed in

the entryway with projects from Kindergarten through the third grade students.

Kindergartener John Sanpierto had an exploding volcano.

“Fill the bottle with a little food coloring, vinegar until its up as high as you want it and detergent makes it explode a little bit,” Sanpierto said.

People’s choice winners were awarded at the end of the presentations. These categories were judged by volunteers from the community who have an interest in promoting science and math in

the school.

“Any attendee was able to fill out a ballot for their favorite projects/displays and turn it in before leaving the event,” Kazmierczak said.

The auditorium hosted most of the community set-up with exhibits from representatives from the Cornell Cooperative, the Wild Center, the Adirondack Museum and more.

Kazmierczak said the idea to expand the Science Slam to community members emerged after last year ’s event.

PERU — Jacqueline Madison is going to share a different perspective on history.

On Sunday, March 24, she will give a presentation called “From Slavery to Citizenship” at the Peru library at 5 p.m.

The talk will focus on three moments in history — the enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation, Martin Luther King Jr.’s involvement with the Civil Rights Movement, and the election of President Barack Obama.

But this will not be a textbook style history lesson.

Madison will instead use the experiences of her family to illustrate the impact of those events.

“I don’t think my story is unique, but typically you don’t hear those stories,” Madison said.

It all starts with Madison’s great grandmother and great-great grandmother, both of whom were slaves in Darlington, South Carolina.

“What my sister and I, and some other relatives, have uncovered is that maybe it wasn’t the greatest arrangement, but the owners were much more benevolent to some of their slaves than anticipated,” Madison said.

“Not every slave owner was horrendous.”

The intention is not to condone slavery, but to instead help people understand another side of the story.

“You don’t ever fix a problem until you know the whole truth,” Madison said.

“By saying this I’m not saying that I think slavery is a good thing — it’s not, because it doesn’t allow people to be themselves. But if you have thousands of acres, there’s no way possible that even a family of 10 can farm it. ”

tograph, "Tongue Mountain Pool." These awards were donated by the Left Bank Cafe, Bluseed Studios, The Community Store, and Ampersound.

A new prize this year will be the People's Choice Award, donated by Hannah Hanford.

Visitors will be able to vote for their favorite piece in the show, and the winner will be announced at the close of the exhibit.

Bill Crosby, this year's juror, will give a talk at the gallery on Sunday afternoon, March 24, at 2 p.m. He received his MFA in painting from the University of Michigan.

Retired from a 35-year career as a professor of art at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, he continues to show his paintings and photography on a national, regional and local level. His paintings are shown at the Harbor Square Gallery in Rockland, Maine, and at the Martin Gallery in Charleston, South Carolina, and are in many public and private collections. Everyone is welcome at the talk.

SARANAC LAKE — Trudeau Institute researchers have found a key mechanism that limits damage from the immune response to the influenza virus. The findings should help improve vaccines against influenza, which causes about 36,000 deaths in the United States each year. The findings will appear in the April 1 edition of The Journal of Immunology and is currently available on the publication’s website, jimmunol.org.

The paper, titled, “Antigen-specific memory Treg control memory responses to influenza virus infection,” was authored by Erik L. Brincks, Alan D. Roberts, Tres Cookenham, Stewart Sell, Jacob E. Kohlmeier, Marcia A. Blackman, and David L. Woodland.

When infected by influenza virus, the body mounts an inflammatory response and activates white blood cells that attack infected cells to eliminate the virus. This vigorous immune response typically controls the influenza infection but can cause unwanted damage to the infected individual even after the virus is eliminated.

However, the body possesses other specialized white blood cells, known as regulatory T cells, or Treg, that can limit unwanted damage. In the reported study, Trudeau investigators were able to closely follow Treg-specific cells for the virus during the course of experimental flu infection in laboratory mice.

During an initial mild exposure to influenza virus, from which they recovered, the mice produced Treg. When the mice were re-infected with flu, the Treg quickly came into play. They controlled inflammation and limited the multiplication and potential damage that white blood cells can cause as they combat the virus.

By fine-tuning immune responses during a second influenza infection, Treg control the extent of damage, while still allowing the infected individual to eliminate the infection. Future studies will examine how vaccines might induce and expand an influenza-specific Treg population for protection against highly harmful influenza viruses.

Gag order doesn’t serve the public good

T

his last Friday, Mark Streb, an aide of Gov. Andrew Cuomo visited the Warren County Board of Supervisors to present a proclamation honoring Warren County on the 200th anniversary of its founding.

Streb stood up to the microphone and read the bicentennial proclamation. Minutes later, a Denton editor approached him, asking whether he had chatted with Cuomo before the trip to Queensbury, whether the governor had any personal message, and when the aide last saw the governor.

Streb declined to answer any of the questions, although they were innocuous — and even though the governor would only gain good publicity from forthright answers.

The aide’s response was not only frustrating, but it indicated a troubling trend in the Cuomo administration that deserves our attention.

This incident is the latest in a series of situations demonstrating that Cuomo seeks total control information that reaches the public — and that government employees are fearful of their political bosses.

Since the early years of the Pataki administration, government employees have been instructed to re-route press inquiries to departmental media representatives who concoct answers.

Skilled reporters, however, don’t want second- or third-hand information contrived by public relations employees whose chief objective is to make their bosses look good. Responsible reporters, adhering to a principle of informing the public, seek facts from sources with first-hand knowledge of a situation or topic.

Under previous administrations — of George Pataki, Eliot Spitzer and David Paterson — state officials have looked the other way when government employees have talked with the press.

Not so with the Cuomo cadre.

State Department of Transportation engineer Mike Fayette, who was charged with overseeing state roads and infrastructure in Essex County, talked to a reporter last autumn about the department’s response to Hurricane Irene.

It was reportedly innocuous, complimentary remarks made to reporter Mike Lynch of the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.

Nevertheless, Fayette was served with a disciplinary notice because DOT Commissioner Joan McDonald had wanted to make the comment herself. Fayette was notified he was fired from his post. Then when he protested the state’s action, he was accused of insubordina-

tion, misconduct and incompetence.

Fayette later retired rather than fight the charges, ending early a 30-year dedicated career.

The state’s actions against Fayette were not only reprehensible, but they demonstrate a substantial abuse of power on behalf of our state’s executive branch.

Yet the Fayette case is only the tip of the iceberg concerning Cuomo’s throttlehold on information to which the public should have access.

Not only are government employees not talking because they fear for their jobs, but the state government spokespeople — who have less knowledge and expertise than their on-the-job peers — have been routinely ignoring or procrastinating on answering media inquiries.

When these spokespeople do return calls, they aren’t fully informed on the situation at hand, they don’t fully answer the questions asked, or they rely on a lot of “spin” rather than facts.

We at Denton Publications have experienced the above problems, and reporters across the state have also.

Another example of Cuomo excluding the public inappropriately from governmental processes was how he invoked a “Message of Necessity” to rush the SAFE Act gun control bill through the state Legislature without allowing our elected representatives nor the public appropriate time to consider the measures.

Our government should be both responsive and responsible to the people. Citizens should be armed with accurate information so they can hold government leaders accountable for their actions.

To this end, Governor Cuomo should follow the example of his father, Mario Cuomo — who when in power, had no fears about public access to information.

It’s time for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to follow in the footsteps of his father and loosen his grip on the flow of information.

We at Denton Publications believe that government should work for us and be open and forthright with the facts. Information about government operations and activities should not be restricted merely to a laundered version of the facts — or no information at all.

We believe those in power should allow, with minimum restrictions, government employees to communicate freely with the media. It’s a hallmark of democracy.

Optimism is a gift

I

worry at times about using this column too often to complain about a variety of topics that, seem to me, have our country going in the wrong direction. In expressing an opinion, my goal is to offer an issue of concern and provide an optimistic alternative.

Optimism, like sunlight, creates growth. Americans have always thrived on an optimistic vision of our future. No matter what disappointments, failures or challenges we faced in the past, we knew that if we work hard, stay focused and press forward we can turn the tide for the better. It’s this very sense of American optimism that attracts so many to our shores. It’s the one intangible asset that Americans sometimes take for granted.

Our past is full of failures, but history confirms that from our perseverance we’ve grown from the opportunity and found a constructive way to use the failure to better our nation.

Perseverance takes discipline and with a never-say-die attitude, our nation and her people have found creative ways to correct the errors, and chart a course that has made us the envy of the world. With optimism, citizens must recognize that it’s within their reach to accomplish anything they choose. For more than 200 years, American immigrants wanted nothing more than the freedom to pursue their dreams and faith and make a better life for their children and themselves.

With that thought in mind, I was surprised last week when Scott Rasmussen, the man behind the Rasmussen Surveys, warned us in his weekly column to beware of the new elites who are rewriting the rule book, so that special privilege takes the place of hard work.

“The United States is supposed to be a land of opportunity where everyone can pursue their dreams,” he wrote. “But those on top today are busy rewriting the rules to limit entry into their club.”

Rasmussen quotes Megan McArdle, who calls them the new mandarins and they think they know what’s best for the rest of us. As a pollster who constantly has his finger on the pulse of the population, Rasmussen is in a position to foresee changes in public opinion that foretell a shift in public attitude.

As Americans, we’ve always had an independent spirit. We need leaders who share those views, leaders who encourage optimism, hard Dan Alexander work and farThoughts from reaching Behind the Pressline dreams. If we ever reach the point where we give up our dreams and allow others to dictate our future, we will have relinquished the very core of our being and the concept that our nation was built upon.

In Patrick Henry’s speech in 1775 in front of patriots like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, he convinced the Virginia House of Burgesses to pass a resolution to deliver Virginia troops to join the Revolutionary War when he said, “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

The vision for this nation and the great experiment in freedom was unique in that era. One needs to understand and appreciate how truly revolutionary this bold move was and continues to be even in this age.

We must constantly be on guard to insure that we never allow our freedoms to be eroded. Our Forefathers understood what they were fighting for and we must never allow that fiery, independent spirit to be extinguished. As we’ve benefited from the generations that came before us, we too must honor the commitment to liberty that we owe to those who come long after us. Our lineage is their inheritance and the union we secure today will preserve the promise and the optimism they will enjoy for generations to come.

We need to look no further than the mirror when we ask ourselves, “Will the next generation be better off than we are today?“ If the answer is no, then we’ve got work to do and we better get down now while the opportunity still exists.

Fly rods - DIY! O

A Return to the South Slopes F

ollowing last week’s spell of foul weather which threatened to wash away winter, it appears the season has rebounded. Prior to this week’s storm, I had taken a trip south to Newcomb, with hopes that the south slopes of the High Peaks held snow.

Fortunately, I found few signs that winter was winding down in that town, and I discovered forests that were full of snow. There were also plenty of skiers and shoer ’s as well.

I had planned to enjoy a leisurely ski trip into Great Camp Santanoni with an old friend, but we discovered the trail was crowded with a host of similarly minded travelers, who were enjoying an open house at the Great Camp.

The annual event, hosted by the Adirondack Architectural Heritage, was also attended by a small press corps, and a number of state officials, including DEC Commissioner Joe Martens, Region 5 DEC Director Bob Stegeman and his Public Affairs Officer, Dave Winchell.

I got there before the crowd arrived, and I enjoyed speaking with George Canon, supervisor of Newcomb about the potential boom in state lands that may soon be available all around his small town.

Mr. Canon appeared optimistic that the former Finch Pruyn lands would benefit the local economy, and he also appeared confident the newly acquired lands would be able to provide reasonable public access for those seeking traditional pursuits such as hunting and fishing.

With the potential for having over 160,000 acres of new, wild lands on the doorstep, Newcomb may soon become the new hub of wilderness travel in the Adirondacks.

Surrounded by soaring peaks, raging waters, and a variety of small ponds and large lakes, Newcomb has always been a gateway to the big woods. I just hope it doesn’t get too busy, and on Saturday, it was.

After slogging along behind a long line of visitors, my friend and I slipped off on a side trail that led off away from the crowds, in the direction of Moose Pond, which according to the trail marker was about 7 miles distant.

Although neither of us had planned on a 14 mile, round trip day, the combination of great snow conditions and the lack of company, other than a friendly otter and a shy fisher, were just too much to refuse.

The trail provided a nice mix of long downhill runs, sweeping banked turns and just enough wildlife to keep it interesting.

However, as we got close to the pond, the winds picked up, and the sun was already well off to the west.

We stopped at a trail junction, which indicated it was only .2 miles to the pond, which we could clearly see through the open hardwood forest. And while we could see the ice, we both realized we had already covered a lot

of territory, and we had an equal distance to return.

It was a moment we each agreed, deserved a photo. The shots were taken, and soon, with a newly discovered discretion, we turned our older bodies around and followed a well, packed track back to the parking lot.

Tired, and just a bit sore, we both swore we’d do it all again as we got ready to set off in different directions.

And if the snow holds up, as it appears it will, we’ll be back at it again this coming weekend. While spring may have already sprung on the calendar, there is still plenty of winter to be had before I’m ready to pack away the ski poles and head off to the fishin’ holes.

Fortunately, the public is free to visit Camp Santanoni all year round, and they can also camp on some of the more than 12,000 acres which were once part of the private Pruyn estate. And best of all, there are easier ways to get there beyond skiing or hiking. The well maintained carriage road is serviced in season by horse and carriage, and it is open to bicycles as well.

AARCH also offers day-long guided tours of the camp in the summer months. For information about Camp Santanoni guided tours, call AARCH at (518) 834-9328 or (518) 582-5472.

For information regarding canoe, kayak, and mountain bike rentals, contact Cloud Splitter Outfitters, 28N, Newcomb, NY 12852, call (518) 582-2583 or email: olbert28n@yahoo.com For information on horse-drawn wagon rides into the camp, contact: David O'Donnell (518) 582-2360.

For local weather, ski conditions and ‘ice out’ information, call the Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb at: (518) 582-2000.

Armchair Angling Adventures While there are many anglers who simply can’t wait for ice out, there are a few lucky long-rodders who simply refuse to quit when the local lakes and streams are socked in by ice and snow. Where to they go for their thrills? To an armchair of course, preferably at the annual Drake Flyfishing Film Tour.

This year ’s event is scheduled for Saturday, March 23 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts and as always it will feature a collection of films that will transport audiences to the beautiful places where trout can be found. The Drake Festival is a benefit event sponsored by the Tri-Lakes Chapter of Trout Unlimited to aid in the protection and improvement of local and statewide coldwater fisheries. For tickets and information please contact, Wiley's Flies at 891-1829 or Jones Outfitters at 523-3468.

ur Lake Champlain Trout Unlimited Chapter held its monthly meeting at the Gander Mountain store in Plattsburgh last week. Walt Trzcienski, the TU chapter president, opened the meeting.

Members spoke on how to build your own fly rod.

The discussions started with the history of fly rods.

Initial fishing rods were realBy Rich Redman ly tree branches or twigs. A string was tied to a thin willow, or other tree branch along with a hook made of bone and a feather tied to it. Progression then led to solid wood rods that were in sections. The tips being solid wood were fragile, so the butt end of the rod was hollowed out and a screw-on cover attached. The rod tips were kept in the handle or butt end protected. Replacement tips were made of bamboo. From solid wood rods came split bamboo rods which the speaker, Bruce Handley, preferred. After WWII, fiberglass was used, and then came graphite.

The advantages of building your own fly rod are cost. A new factory built rod may cost over $600, but a kit will be one-third to one-half of the cost for a top notch rod. Entry level kits start about $75, which is a bargain for the firsttime rod builder. Don Lee and Derrick Miller spoke about the rods they built, the materials such as varnish versus epoxy, single foot ceramic line guides, thread versus silk, how to get the perfect finish on the rod and the tools needed to complete a home grown fly rod. Along with the lower costs of the “do it yourself” rod kits, comes the enjoyment of catching a fish on a rod and fly constructed at the home work bench. Don has built 14 rods for himself, family and friends. Many were given away as gifts. His addiction seemed to have spread to the folks in attendance; I know I want to try it.

With the costs of quality new equipment reaching over $600 for a rod and reel package, building your own rod from a kit makes sense. Based on the variety of fly rods needed for different species of fish, such as a 2 to 5 weight rod for small trout streams, 6 or 7 weights for larger trout and bass, and 9 or 10 weights for salmon and steelhead things can easily get out of control. Then of course there are switch rods and spey rods which are two handed fly rods used also for salmon and steelhead. Let’s not even go into salt water rods and spinning rods. The costs can add up quick. Buying 3 or 4 high quality factory built rods could deplete the average working man’s wallet in short time, leaving little money left to get to a river or stream at $4 per gallon for gas!

So if you have an interest in saving some money, enjoy doing it yourself projects, and making a high quality fly rod that can be handed down to your grandchildren, this may be for you. There are books available on classic rods, and rod makers, and rod crafting. The internet also has web sites such as the rod building forum.com. Some anglers prefer the traditional bamboo rods, and others go for the newer graphite composites. It may be an age thing, like fine wines!

I think I would like to try the bamboo rod; I have graphite so this would be something new, now I just have to figure out what weight. Once again, there are too many choices.

Looks like I will have to build more than one. Like I need another addiction to enjoy!

Saranac Lake wins the Rotary Swimarathon SARANAC LAKE — Saranac Lake High was the winner of the Rotary Clubs of Lake Placid and Saranac Lake Swimarathon Cup, awarded to the school raising the most money in the Rotary event held on Feb. 23 at North Country Community College’s Sparks Pool. The event was sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of both Saranac Lake and Lake Placid.

Monies go toward the local youth centers and for Rotary’s Polio Eradication effort. Bob Hanna, Swimarathon chair announced that over $3,800 has been raised so far.

Alex Rodriguez (not present) raised the most money among all students participating and Jennifer Nason was runner up in addition to swimming the furthest in the women’s division.

Rotary started working with the World Health Organization in 1985. The goal was to eliminate Polio in the world. At that time there were over 350,000 cases of this crippling disease every year. In 2012 there were less than 1,000 cases and India had gone one year without any. This effort has cost well Jennifer Nason accepts the Swimarathon Cup from Margo Nagel, Saranac Lake Rotary over $2 Billion dollars and countless volun- President.
