Frigid temps freeze maple harvest

5 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MAPLE SYRUP

ULYSSES, Pa. — The frigid winter weather has not only been tough on people, but also on the region’s maple syrup producers.

An old time Maple Man once said, the best time to tap Sugar Maple trees for sap is while their feet are still cold and their arms are just getting warm. That said, maple syrup producers across Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania have been facing a freeze on production due to the cold weather. The sap is now just starting to run.

Phyllis Hamilton grew up tapping trees and boiling sap, as did her husband Larry. Hamilton has seen it all, but this see MAPLE | 10A

KATHRYN ROSS/THE SPECTATOR

Some modern day maple syrup producers prefer to use plastic tubing, while many old time producers still collect sap the traditional way, in a bucket.

1. High in Antioxidants: Each ¼ cup of maple syrup contains approximately 100 percent of the daily allowance of manganese, 37 percent of riboflavin, 18 percent of zinc, 7 percent of magnesium, and 5 percent of calcium and potassium.

2. Clean Sugar Alternative: Eating “clean” refers to intaking foods that have little to no processing. Making maple syrup is simply boiling tapped sap down to a concentrate.

3. Champion Disease Fighter: The University of Rhode Island found that maple syrup has 54 beneficial compounds. Researchers believe maple syrup is a champion food, and can fight cancer, diabetes, and bacterial illnesses.

4. Low Glycemic Index: Maple syrup has a 54 index. Table sugar is 63.

Honey is 58. Foods with a low GI can lower blood glucose (sugar) level, risk of heart disease and developing type 2 diabetes.

5. Maple Water: Another word for maple tree sap is maple water. Maple water is a hydrating alternative to natural water or sports drinks.

“While many people associate wildfires with the western United States, the start of spring weather and the potential for dry conditions increases the risk for wildfires in New York,” Commissioner Seggos said. “New York prohibits residential burning

VEW celebrates Ram Pride

Content submitted

The Vernon E. Wightman Primary School celebrated Haverling Ram Pride and good character with a Ram Pride Celebration Feb. 28. During Ram Pride Days, students and staff are encouraged to wear the Haverling Blue and celebrate RAMS behavior. RAMS behavior is: Responsible, Attitude, Manners, and Safety. Ram Pride Celebrations happen on a monthly basis to reward students who demonstrate positive behavior and allow staff to recognize fellow staff members. Students are also given a booster session on certain behaviors throughout the building.

February’s focus was: “I Love VEW!” Students were given the opportunity to share, through a video made by Mrs. Nadjadi and Mrs. Wheeler, what they loved about VEW and how it made them feel. Students shared that they loved: their teachers, recess, PE, learning, Music, the cafeteria, the shelter the school provides, the safe haven provided, their friends, Math, Art, computers and a myriad of other things.

Students were also quizzed about what constitutes good RAMS behavior. Groups of students were given the opportunity to answer questions about proper RAMS behavior. If the students got the question correct they earned the opportunity to dump cold water over the head of Assistant Principal, Bret Ryan.

‘Stand Up for Recovery Day’ set Submitted BATH – Steuben County’s second annual “Stand Up For Recovery Day” aims to change the public’s attitude toward substance abuse and addiction.

Set for 10 a.m. March 20 in the county office building’s third-floor atrium, the county event coincides with Stand Up For Recovery Day in Albany and other areas across the state.

Proponents of Recovery Day say it’s time to end the myths around alcohol and drug addictions, most notably the idea addicts are hopeless failures incapable of sustained sobriety, jobs or healthy relationships.

The stigma associated with abuse only makes recovery from addictions – already a daunting

KIDZ IN BRIEF

task – that much harder.

It can persist long after a man or woman has maintained sobriety, established sound relationships and found employment.

“Some people still look at me like I’m a no-good druggie,” said DJ Hatch.

Hatch and his family and friends recently celebrated his fourth year of sobriety, after 14 years of pharmaceutical and heroin abuse.

“I’m very open about my addiction,” he said. “I’ve always been very honest about it. But there will always be people who shun you.

It’s like a kick in the heart. And the truth is we’re not bad people who do bad things. We’re good people who did a bad thing.”

The stigma associated with any kind of substance abuse can prevent those struggling with an ad-

diction from admitting the problem and long-term recovery once they seek help.

Hatch credits family members, friends and his fiancée, Hope, after years of struggle, for his four years of sobriety.

But more needs to be done, by everyone, he said.

“Law enforcement, the courts, employers all need to do more,” he said. “Spending time in jail only teaches you more ways to get in trouble. Three weeks in rehab aren’t enough. Employers can offer decent jobs. You know, when addicts can use the same motivation that got them sober to other things, like jobs? They’ll reach for the skies.”

OPINION

Sen. Tom O’Mara:

State investment key to future of local roads No single advocacy group has stood out more at the Capitol in recent years than New York’s local highway superintendents and all of the men and women working for local highway departments who, day in and day out, do their best to maintain our local roads and bridges.

Last week in Albany, more than 600 “Local Roads Matter” representatives from the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions, and statewide, turned out in force to deliver once again the message to Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders: A stronger state-local partnership is the only answer.

Or, in the words of Gerald Geist, executive director of the Association of Towns of the State of New York, “The time to address road and bridge funding is now.”

Assemblyman Phil Palmesano and I have been at this work since 2013. We have worked to build support within the Legislature for a fairer, more equitable, and stronger state commitment to local roads, bridges, and culverts.

Beginning with the 2013-14 state budget, the “Local Roads Matter” campaign has helped increase funding through the Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (commonly known as CHIPS) and its funding formula by $240 million, or approximately 40%.

Together with two programs established three years ago, PAVE-NY and BRIDGE-NY, significant funding increases have gone to counties, cities, towns, and villages throughout New York.

Regionally, for example, aid percentage increases since 2012-13 have ranged from 50% to 55%.

This year we are calling for increasing state base aid for CHIPS by $150 million and the restoration of a $65-million “Extreme Winter Recovery” allocation enacted last year but not included in Governor Cuomo’s proposed 20192020 state budget. We believe it’s warranted – and achievable – given the governor’s push for a new $150-billion infrastructure plan, which includes a new $66-billion investment in transportation. There must be a place in all of that new investment for a stronger state commitment to local roads, bridges, and culverts.

A stronger state-local partnership is the key.

Now more than ever, New York State must

support a steady, strong, multi-year strategy to address local transportation infrastructure and help build a local transportation system that our communities, motorists, and taxpayers deserve.

Local governments face increasingly difficult fiscal constraints due to the tax cap and longstagnant state aid to municipalities, funding for which has been left even more uncertain this year.

State investment in local transportation is fundamentally important to local economic development, job creation, motorist safety, and property tax relief.

Dennis S. Davis, President of the New York State County Highway Superintendents Association (NYSCHSA), said, “The hard reality is that local highway departments need a significant boost in the level of state investment to effectively address the daunting financial challenges of maintaining their vast ailing and aging transportation infrastructure.”

Patrick Mahar, President of the New York State Association of Town Superintendents of Highways (NYSAOTSOH), added, “Fixing local roads and bridges is similar to repairing the roof or replacing windows on your home.

You don’t do it because you want to, you do it because you have to. Businesses need to receive goods, children need to get to school and emergency vehicles need to be able to provide assistance – practically every facet of our daily lives utilizes our local infrastructure system.”

This year’s budget adoption process accelerates this week when the Senate and Assembly Democratic majorities adopt their respective versions of New York’s final 2019-2020 state budget. In other words, they put their priorities on the page in black and white.

It’s a key step in the process, and it sets the stage for a new state budget that the “Local Roads Matter” coalition hopes will produce another positive year for local roads and bridges.

Bush:

Trump is right - It is time for a change on changing times

By Kent Bush More Content Now

Being a columnist in a red state which is one of 16 whose voters still hold a favorable opinion of President Donald Trump isn’t all fun and games.

Readers want you to love him as much as they do.

I don’t.

President Trump brings all of the moral failings of Bill Clinton and all of the budget deficits and national debt issues of Barack Obama and suddenly we are supposed to pretend we aren’t morally or fiscally conservative anymore.

Just because Trump won an election, my political views didn’t change.

That being said, I have agreed with Trump several times and even though readers don’t remember it, I say good things about our president when I can.

I liked his appointments of both Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State and I even agree with a tweet this weekend where he called Ann Coulter a “wacky nut job.” That’s not how I would say it but it isn’t a sentiment I would challenge.

You can add another line to the number of issues where I agree with the president. He said Monday that he would be willing to make Daylight Saving Time permanent and stop pretending we need to “fall back” or “spring forward” an hour twice a year.

As a person who prefers sunlight after work, I don’t see the benefit of falling back an hour in the fall. I would love to see this schedule be made permanent by Congress.

See, I don’t always disagree with the president.

The new Great Commission Jerry Falwell Jr. has done almost as much damage to the evangelical community’s reputation as his father did. He

is quick to remind people that, unlike his father, he was never a pastor.

Junior was an attorney and real estate developer before taking over the university his father founded.

Falwell wasn’t chosen to run the organization because of his faith. He certainly isn’t retained due to his theology.

As the president of a religious institution, Falwell tweeted this weekend, “You nuts attacking @realDonaldTrump for securing the border need to show me where Jesus told Caesar how to run Rome. Jesus taught personal charity but went out of His way to say render unto Caesar that which is his. Jesus never told Caesar to let barbarians illegally enter Rome.”

This view is a strange proof-texting of the themes Jesus taught his disciples.

That’s like trying to justify the underage sex ring in Florida that has left many friends of the president calling their defense attorneys.

Without context, the words can be twisted.

Matthew 25 is a real indictment of Falwell Jr. and his brand of “rich guy” religion. Don’t get me started on Falwell Jr. bragging about his net worth and the value of his university since he took over. Remember what Jesus said about rich men? Maybe they teach a class at Liberty University about getting a camel through the eye of a needle.

Christianity’s reputation is taking a beating under President Trump.

His policy stances have been very favorable to the Religious Right. He has placed two pro-life justices on the Supreme Court and he pays lip service to evangelicals at every opportunity.

Christians certainly aren’t being persecuted under the Trump admin-

istration.

Despite his hollow words of affirmation, the president has spent more time writing checks to reimburse his attorney for hush money paid to a porn star after an affair than he has in a church since being elected.

The problem with all of these words without actions - or actions that are directly opposed to their pious words - is that people from outside of the fold begin to see all believers as hypocrites when in most cases that is an unfair depiction of people of faith.

Beyond the president, on a local level, I have a friend who had her daughter’s college choice questioned because the state she will move to is viewed as the “land of the lost.” It’s funny to me when people who have never lived outside of the Bible Belt view the rest of the world as unchurched heathens. Let’s face facts, having a church on every corner hasn’t exactly helped with teen pregnancy rates and drug usage. Oklahoma is No. 1 in the number of people incarcerated per capita and we have the nerve to wonder about other states’ spiritual health?

I also hate when someone says something rude to me or a member of my staff and the staff members ask me, “Doesn’t he go to your church?”

I stand there thinking, “Why, yes he does. I really hate that you know that.”

But it certainly isn’t just my church that has people who don’t represent their faith well in public.

At this weekend’s basketball state tournament games, I had a chance to talk to one of the security guards who made a joke about some of the kids from Dale, Oklahoma, looking rowdy. I told him I know most of those kids and a lot of their parents.

I assured him that this group of kids wouldn’t

give him any trouble.

He laughed and said, “I know. I’m not worried about them. The schools I have the most trouble with are the private Christian schools. Their fans are worse than any of the others.”

Obviously, paying to send your kid to a school with “Christian” in the name doesn’t guarantee you or your child a spot on the home side of the pearly gates, but it would be nice if people with “Christian” on their shirts would act like decent people in public.

The same is true on a daily basis for all of us who attend a church. When people know what church you attend, you become the ambassador from that church to the community - even if you don’t necessarily want to be.

When you act like a jerk in public, people hear a brand new version of Jesus’ Great Commission. Jesus told his followers to make disciples of all nations. But if you listen to evangelical Trump fans in 2019, you hear a very different message, “Only associate with people who look, believe, and act like you do. Be really judgmental, and whatever you do, make sure everyone else knows you hate them for being different.”

If Jesus hadn’t risen from the grave, he would be rolling over in it seeing how people misuse his name for political gain today.

It is time for the evangelical community to stop saying the ends justify the means and stand up for what you say you believe regardless of party affiliation.

Wide-grip pulsing deadlift works back, glutes

By Marlo Alleva More Content Now

It’s still technically winter, but Mother Nature is try to keep things interesting! Best part about it is we can wear shorts during the day and stretchy pants in the evening.

But whatever our wardrobe choice we want our backsides ready.

Our move today is a wide-grip pulsing deadlift. This move will be working your back, glutes and hamstrings.

You will need a weighted bar for this exercise.

Begin this move by grasping your weighted bar in a wide grip, closer to each end. Stand tall, rolling your shoulders back and down, and engaging your core. Place both feet firmly on the ground, about hip width apart, with your toes pointing forward and knees soft. Keeping your head up and your whole core engaged, you are ready to start moving.

Proceed to bend for-

MCN

ward in the hips, holding your chest slightly up, and letting the bar sit close to your knee level.

Once you are in this po-

sition, simply begin pulsing the bar, hovering it close to your knees. Keep the pulse very small and controlled by lifting and

lowering in the hips. You should feel this contraction in your back, your glutes, and especially your hamstrings. This is why it is very important to keep your core engaged,taking the extra pressure off of your back.

Continue this pulse for either a count of 8 to16, or a determined amount of time. Release yourself from this position, taking a small break. Then return to the same move for your next set giving yourself at least 3 to 5 sets.

If you need more intensity, add a little more weight to your bar. If you need a little less, or feel extra pressure, release some of the weight and lighten your load.

This exercise is a great move for your complete backside, to build muscle and tone. And it is also good to add into any lower-body routine.

STEUBEN COURIER

SUNDAY, MARCH 17, 2019

ARC names Associates of February Steuben Courier BATH - John Houck, Director of Business Operations, and Bridget Cotter, Direct Support Professional, were named Associates of the Month for the month of February.

Houck was nominated by Matt Mehlenbacher, Chief Operations Officer, for his drive and dedication toward success and improvement. Cotter was nominated by Sade Nelson, Direct Support Professional, for going above and beyond her job duties.

Houck has been with the agency since July 2017, and within that time, he and the department Business Operations have undergone many changes and improvements.

According to Mehlenbacher, under Houck’s leadership the apparel department realized a surplus of 200 percent in 2018 from 2017.

“If you ask John, he will give the credit to his team, but this team

is achievingsuch success because of the leadership John provides” Mehlenbacher said.

Houck is also a strong advocate for people with disabilities, Mehlenbacher said. After reading an article about a local business receiving state incentives that resulted in the creation of 110 jobs he invited local legislators and the Steuben County Industrial Development Agency to visit The Arc Steuben to see how they support people in employment.

“It allowed the group to ask questions about The Arc as well as an opportunity for other issues to be discussed (i.e. fair wages and services in general),” Mehlenbacher said. “John’s dedication and drive are assets to The Arc and to Business Operations” Bridget Cotter has been working in the residential department since 2013.

According to Nelson, Bridget is more than willing to help her co-

workers by making sure the homes she works in have all the coverage that is needed.

Nelson said Cotter dedicating her time means missing out on time with loved ones, but with this, she has taught her daughter the meaning of putting people first and the value of caring for people.

“During severe weather, Bridget not only makes every effort to come to work to make sure that the people’s needs are met, but to ensure the safety of the other associates as well,” Nelson said. “Bridget’s dedication is not overlooked and is greatly appreciated.”

The Arc Steuben currently provides services to more than 950 people in Steuben and surrounding counties. Services include job-readiness training, community employment, residential, transportation and in-home services. For more information, visit www.arcofsteuben.org.

Who was St. Patrick?

By Erika Enigk More Content Now

S

t. Patrick’s Day is coming up. For most of us, that means wearing green and learning a little about Ireland. But the story of the real St. Patrick is a little more complicated.

The real St. Patrick Believe it or not, St. Patrick wasn’t born in Ireland, and he wasn’t called Patrick at all. He was born in England in the fifth century, and his name was Maewyn. He was brought to Ireland as a slave and eventually escaped and became a priest. He returned to Ireland later as a missionary, and it is believed he converted thousands of people to Christianity. That makes some people think he’s a hero and others not like him much.

Celebrations Believe it or not, St. Patrick’s Day wasn’t a very big deal in Ireland for a long time. It was people who left Ireland to settle in other countries who made it the holiday it is today. There People all over the world take part in St. Patrick’s Day festivities. are millions of people with Irish [FLICKR] ancestry in the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries, and many of them celebrate their heritage on St. Patrick’s Day. But of course, the day can be fun for anyone. People wear green, go to parades, and in some places attend special celebrations. In Dublin, Ireland, buildings are lit up all in green. In Buenos Aires, Argentina, people go to the Plaza San Martin for a big party. Here in the United States, people can see the river dyed green in Chicago. All over the world, people enjoy coming together on

St. Patrick’s Day. More people celebrate it than any other national holiday in the world. It was even celebrated in space! In 2011 and 2013, astronauts played music and sang to celebrate the day.

But the day isn’t just about having fun. Because St. Patrick was a religious figure, Catholics especially often attend special ceremonies to honor the man the day was named for.

Food and drink Many adults like to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by drinking green beer.

But kids can enjoy some food and drink for the day, too. Many people make corned beef and cabbage, and that’s an American tradition. Many Irish immigrants were poor years ago, and all they could afford to buy was beef and cabbage, so that dish became known as an Irish tradition. Other popular foods are Irish soda bread and shepherd’s pie.

Activity: Make a shake Every year around St. Patrick’s Day, McDonald’s has a special milkshake called a Shamrock Shake. But you don’t have to go out to get a tasty, minty shake.

You can make your own at home.

You’ll need: • 3 cups of vanilla ice cream • 1 cup of whole milk • ¼ tsp. mint extract • Green food coloring Put all ingredients into a blender and mix until well blended. If you want to get fancy, you can top it with whipped cream.

Indicators for selecting the right trout fly WHAT’S UP at MOSSY BANK PARK March 17, 2019 – Skiing into Mossy Bank Park with a friend recently, rounding the entrance road just before the Ted Markham Nature Center, there was a surprising sight. At first I thought a large limb had broken off and fallen across the road. Looking closer, it was the top of a power pole with a broken street lamp attached. A power line was attached to the near side of the broken pole, sagging up to the next nearest pole, at the edge of the Nature Center clearing. That pole bore a transformer and was not damaged. The wire could not be seen on the distal side, buried by snow. Farther along the road was a large Norway Spruce (Picea abies) which had fallen across the road, pulling down the wire, and snapping the power pole. Respectful of the down wire, we gave the area a wide berth, cutting through the spruce grove toward the playground. Along the tree line at the edge of the playground clearing was a broken spruce trunk, snapped off about six feet above the ground.

At the road beyond the downed tree the wire rose up, apparently unbroken, to the next power pole in line. After skiing, I notified the Bath Village Street Crew who arranged to have the power to that line shut off for safety. A few days later, crews came in and replaced the broken power pole. The Village crew then cut up and removed the down tree.

The fallen spruce was a large tree. The base near the ground was nearly 4 feet across on its widest diameter, and 10 feet in circumference. I believe this spruce was planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930’s, making it over 80 years old. It was the equal of any of the big spruce trees in the area enclosed by the park drivearound. These trees by virtue of their age, and the rather shallow soil in which they grow, may be nearing their maximum size. Any tree broken in the trunk is the victim of wind. This spruce tree fell into a gap on a line almost directly southeast, toward the Nature Center. Despite falling through the edge of the spruce grove, it luckily did not bring down any other trees, but no doubt broke a few branches.

A northwesterly wind, blowing across the open playground, would have caught the tree’s canopy like a sail, exerting its full force in the direction of the gap through which the tree eventually fell.

Other trees, smaller and

D. Randy Weidner protected by surrounding trees, were able to withstand the wind.

Even considering the above stated facts, it would be much more likely a strong wind would have uprooted this spruce. Why did the wind split its huge trunk well above the ground?

The answer lay in examining the cut stump and downed tree trunk. This spruce was infested with a ‘butt rot’ fungus. Occupying half the diameter of the cut stump, extending down along one of the roots, was brown rot.

Brown rot results from a fungus which invades the wood, digesting the cellulose but not the lignin, thus retaining a brownish-red appearance.

Cellulose is the main structural component of the tree’s xylem cells.

Thousands of individual, straw-like tubes of xylem, which once transported water from the ground up the trunk of the tree to the needles, are tightly compressed in the center of healthy trees, resulting in a very strong structure.

As the fungus eats away more and more cellulose, the inside of the tree gets pithy and weak. Forces of wind once tolerated, now caused the trunk to snap.

Butt rot is a characteristic of the polypore fungus Phaeolus schweinitzii. I have often seen the fruiting bodies of this fungus in the area, among the roots of the trees. Also common among these trees were mycorrhizal mushrooms, the mycelium of which also associates with the spruce roots, but in a beneficial way.

The Phaeolus schweinitzii is a brown rot fungal parasite of old growth conifers, often entering a root, then spreading up the trunk interior, a slow process that may go on for years. The fruiting body is an overlapping group of shelves whose fuzzy upper surface is zoned in browns and yellows. It is too tough and woody to eat, but if chopped and crushed, then treated with the proper chemicals, it can yield vivid dyes for silk or wool, earning it the common name of ‘Dyer’s Polypore’. There are two ways to dye/die with this mushroom: fortunate fabric artists dye, but the unfortunate spruce, dies.

By Oak Duke When I was a young man, conjunctions in nature began appearing, repeating, coalescing.

Certain animal behaviors occurred again and again, repeated and were always mirrored by another change in a parallel dimension.

Two early examples in nature’s clockwork, or timing mechanism were when turkey hunting and bass fishing in the spring.

As fuzzy red and sugar maple buds carpet the ground and tulip blossoms peak, usually in late April or early May, gobblers will be sending their raucous cries down the hollows and across the ridges at a peak too. And that’s precisely when they have been easiest to call in, year in and year out.

And when the moon is full in May, male smallmouth bass come up on the shallow shoals and carve out their watery territories, a sandy, pebble-filled nest in hopes a soon-to-arrive female will be enticed to spawn there.

Bass after bass, cast after cast, year after year, on different lakes. Pound the bass when the moon is full in May. Our paper calendars don’t work so well because nature’s rhythms often march to a different drummer.

In either of the aforementioned cases, with turkey or bass, the old maxim of cause-andeffect may or may not be working.

How can tulip blossoms and turkey gobbles be linked? How can the moon and smallmouth bass be linked? Most would say, “oh, don’t worry about it, It’s just a coincidence.”

I’ve heard that

one all my life, “just a coincidence.”

Occurrences or happenings are linked either through “cause and effect (causality) or correlation, as in “it’s just a correlation.”

When humans can’t explain something, we often toss it into that very large pail containing all coincidences. All those things in one basket with no obvious causal connection to one another.

Now, as an older man, I’m not so sure that bucket always holds water. Science has shot more than a few holes shot in it, letting the water leak out.

Speaking of water, here at the end of winter when springtime is just around the corner, thoughts of time on the water begin to emerge in the minds of trout fishermen.

And the first fly that I tie on is the Early Brown Stonefly, good old Taeniopterx. He emerges on those first warmish days with snow still on the banks of the river, when the springtime sun is beating down in the middle of the day.

Seems everyone is talking about wild leaks here in the countryside then. And if we are out and about, in a grocery line, popping into the convenience store, or at the post office, the pungent smell of recently ingested leaks hits us.

Leek Dinners, big fund raisers at the local Fire Halls. And the Early Brown Stonefly, or Willow fly is on the water. I like to tie it on a No. 12 hook, dark brown hackle points, down-wing, brown body, and fished downstream, just under the surface.

After a couple weeks or so, the first of the storied mayflies emerge on the water, the famous

Hendrickson, Ephemerella Subvaria appears at the same time as the yellow blossoms of the Forsythia.

The bright yellow bush is like a flag, signaling that the trout are sipping the river’s surface and sucking down the duns when the river water is warmest in the afternoon.

I prefer my Hendrickson No. 14 ties to have bluish wings, like the insect, though the standard store bought varieties work well it’s well known that males are from Mars and the females from Venus.

By May here, the Fiddlehead ferns are perfect for harvesting along the riverbank, that is, not to tall and partially unfurled in early May. And not to curled up so tightly in their root cluster that it’s necessary to dig them out. That’s when the Emphemerella Dorthea (and all their cousins) called “Sulphurs” for their yellowish hue, make a grand (but it can be frustrating) entrance. The civilized Dortheas like the middle of the day.

Size is critical when the Sulphurs are on the water. Trout will often let a No. 14 Light Cahill pass overhead, maybe with a false rise, even though it seems to our less discerning eye, a good match.

Instead, toss out a No. 16 or even a No. 18 Sulphur dun with upright ginger wings.

Between the two big Emphemerella hatches, between the Forsythia and the Fiddleheads the little brown Caddis flies are observed making their upsteam migration, beating their biplane wings inches off the surface. A No. 14 light deer hair or downwing hackle tip in a No. 14 or

No. 16, fished dead drift just under the surface is a killer. Let the line belly a bit.

And when the hills are green, even the top of the highest ridges have completely leafed out, right then the Isonychia Bicolor, or White Gloved Howdy makes its appearance.

It’s dark brown nymphal shucks can be seen on the shoreline rocks. The emerged mayfly’s tarsi or front legs are white, while the rest of the insect is slate gray, giving it the cute colloquial name.

A No. 12, 4x long shank dark brown nymph has been more deadly for me than the so-so dry fly, as it replicates the emerging ubiquitous tri-tailed nymph, swimming towards shore to hatch.

Of course there are other favorite mayflies, aquatic insects, and even terrestrial born bugs that have trout appeal.

And each has their own specific emergence…especially Stenonema Vicarium (Fuscum) and Canadense/Ithaca the Grey Fox and the Light Cahill, respectively.

(Recently most species formerly classified in the Stenonema genus are now Maccaffertium.) No time here to get too deep in the weeds of Emphemeroptera taxonomy and DNA phylogenetics.

No matter what they are called, these last two favorite classic mayflies are more sporadic in their appearance in May and June on the trout streams, handcuffed to no clear signal as yet.

Theirs is a more sporadic, complex emergence, offering us wondrous streamside moments injected with the exotic tincture of mild surprise.

10A SUNDAY, MARCH 17, 2019 MAPLE

Continued from 1A year has been especially challenging.

“Tapping isn’t going well this year because it has been so cold.

We run tubing and we were able to tap about three weeks ago, but what sap that did run froze up everything when it turned cold again. We’ve just been able to start up again and today we’re boiling.”

The rule of thumb is that it takes 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup. This year it is taking the Hamilton’s 50 to 60 gallons of sap to produce one gallon.

As for the sugar content, Phyllis Hamilton said they don’t know yet.

“Last summer was grey and rainy. Trees make sap in the summer and the sweetness depends on the sunshine,” she said.

While estimates put the sap season between six and seven weeks, the sap gathering season ends when the trees begin to bud.

Even at that, the Hamilton’s say they are well stocked up for the upcoming Maple Weekend in Pennsylvania.

The 15th annual Maple Weekend, organized by the Potter-Tioga Maple Producers Association, will take place March 16 and March 17 from 10-4 p.m.

The Pa. Maple Weekend offers the chance to visit 17 different maple producers spread throughout

AUCTION Continued from 1A help a successful buyer.

Johnson said there seems to be serious interest in the property, which has now been vacant for five years. “As it’s gotten closer to the actual sale date, there have been interested parties that have risen to the top,” he said. “They take this project seriously, and because of

WORSHIP & LOCAL Potter and Tioga counties, viewing different aspects and unique approaches to the methods of maple sap gathering and processing.

At some farms, visitors will see tree tapping and boiling demos.

At others visitors can see modern facilities, complete with osmosis and reverse osmosis equipment in use. Each offers a unique perspective on maple syrup production — and a unique sample of syrup. But there is more than just syrup and pancakes on tap. While products vary at each location, they range from maple salad dressing or barbecue sauce, to jellies and homemade cookies, to maple milkshakes or cotton candy. Each farm has a specialty and a recipe or two that have been passed down through the family over generations.

The New York Maple Weekends take place over two weekends, March 23-24 and March 30-31.

Across the state, 157 maple farms participate in the event, by giving visitors tours of the “sugar houses” where everything is made and offering tours, samples, activities, tastings, pancake breakfasts, etc.

New York maple producers make 20 percent of all of the real maple syrup produced in the US. It is a big industry that is driven by numerous family businesses that keep the traditions of making maple syrup alive.

that we’re hopeful that there’s going to be a successful bidder.”

One of the things that has Johnson hopeful about a sale is a starting price that he thinks is attractive.

“I think if you look at what that facility offers, that’s a very good (starting) price, but the final price will be determined by the bidding,” Johnson said.

He noted that while the current assessment on the property, $3.35

million, is about double what it was in 2016, that increase doesn’t accurately reflect the tax burden for a potential buyer.

“The town did a revaluation, so that’s now at 100 percent equalization,” he said. “So that number is a little deceptive.”

Johnson said he believes it’s likely any buyer will subdivide the facility for multiple occupants and multiple uses.

IN BRIEF ‘Little Women’ musical slated

PET PAGE

Palmesano, Friend welcome library advocates Content submitted Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R,C,I-Corning) and Assemblyman Chris Friend (R,C,I-Big Flats) recently welcomed representatives from the Southern Tier Library System to Albany. The delegation is fighting for full state funding of local libraries, a measure both Palmesano and Friend support.

The governor’s Executive Budget proposed cutting state aid to local libraries by millions of dollars.

“We’re proud to stand by our friends from the Southern Tier Library System and call not just for restoring the governor’s cuts, but for increasing state aid to our local libraries so they’re fully funded. In rural areas, libraries are hubs for continuing education, job training and

the community. They provide vitally important internet access. We never discuss cutting aid to our public schools, and we shouldn’t be discussing cutting aid for local libraries. We’ll be fighting for our local libraries as budget negotiations continue,” said the legislators.

“New York state spending cuts to local libraries don’t make good sense for Southern Tier communities. All 48 of our region’s libraries drive educational, cultural and economic change. State investment empowers libraries to grow collections, programs and services that benefit all community members. For every dollar spent on libraries, we see seven more dollars go back into our local economy. Our communities deserve quality libraries for an enriched quality of life,” said Southern Tier Library System Executive Director Brian Hildreth.

Office for the Aging gets grant The Courier WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, announced the Steuben County Office for the Aging will receive $65,268 in grant funding to support the Senior Corps RSVP program.

“We care about supporting volunteers who give their time to better our communities,” Reed said. “This grant enables the Office for the Aging to train senior volunteers in our area. We support our neighbors who choose to volunteer and give back to their communities.”

Patricia Baroody, Director of the Steuben County Office for the Aging, said volunteers are the backbone of

the support system for older persons in Steuben County.

“The funding that our RSVP program receives from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) helps us to recruit, train, utilize and celebrate these dedicated volunteers,” Baroody said. “Our volunteers change lives for the better for seniors and themselves, as well” RSVP is one of the largest volunteer networks in the nation for people 55 and over. Through RSVP, the Senior Corps connects American seniors with volunteer organizations in their area, enabling volunteers to share their unique skills and talents by serving their communities.

BATH – The Arc of Steuben recently received a $16,000 matching grant from State Industries for the Disabled to purchase new equipment.

Officials said the matching grant program assists member agencies to not only improve wages and/or enhance productivity of individuals working on State Industries for the Disabled products, but also to develop new products that will increase employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities across the state.

Currently, the screen printer at The Arc of Steuben is about 15 years old, and this grant will enable them to purchase a new printer, create three new working jobs for individuals employed by The Arc, and increase order fulfillment by 10 percent.

The new equipment is going to do more than print more shirts.

“It’s going to provide opportunities for individuals that we support to learn, grow, and integrate into the community businesses,” said John Houck, Director of Operations of The Arc of Steuben. “By spending their earnings within their community, these individuals help to contribute to a more economically vibrant New York State.”

Matt Mehlenbacher, Chief Operations Officer of The Arc of Steuben, said the opportunity to have a job and gainful employment means a lot to the people that receive services there.

“They haven’t always had those opportunities and it’s a part of our mission, vision and values,” Mehlenbacher. “We really want to capitalize on any opportunity we can to support that.”
