Four arrested in Bath meth bust

By Jason Jordan The Evening Tribune

BATH — The discovery of an alleged methamphetamine lab in a Bath home resulted in the felony arrest of four Steuben County residents.

At 2:45 a.m. last Saturday

morning, the Village of Bath Police Department executed a search warrant at 109 Howell St. in the village, with the assistance of the Steuben County Sheriff ’s Office CIRT team.

Jerry L. Barnes Jr., 46, of 109 Howell St., Bath; Martha M. Barnes, 48, of 109 Howell St.,

Bath; Emily J. Ayers, 38, of 211 Seneca St., Corning; and John L. Landsborough, 51, of 109 Howell St., Bath were all taken into custody without incident, according to Chief Chad Mullen.

The arrests mark the conclusion of a month-long surveillance and investigation into the

property and its inhabitants, authorities said.

Police said that inside the residence, a meth lab was discovered, and the four suspects were all charged with one count of third-degree unlawfully

Pardoned from a life of bad manners

By Jason Jordan The Evening Tribune

BATH — A little rough around the edges, trouble with impulse control and in need of positive companionship ... inmates at the Steuben County Jail found kindred spirits in dogs sheltered at the Hornell Area Humane Society and Finger Lakes SPCA, through the SPIRIT program.

On Tuesday, the jail graduated a second dog from the program pairing inmates and dogs for training that will make them

more adoptable.

The parties were brought together by Correction Officer Kevin Valentine, who saw the program work at other jails during joint training sessions. The jail’s administration whole-heartedly endorsed the idea. For six to eight weeks, the dogs live side-by-side with the inmates in their cells, learning basic commands like sit, stay, lay down, roll-over, speak and shake.

“That way, they come into a new home trained and ready to

go,” Valentine described. “It’s a win-win situation for the inmates and the dogs.”

The one-on-one attention, 24-hours a day prepares the dog for life in its “forever home.”

“At the shelter, there’s only so much time that staff can spend with each dog,” said Hornell Area Humane Society Executive Director Mary Nisbet. “It’s definitely a win-win situation for everybody.”

OPINION

Sen. Tom O’Mara:

And the highest taxed state in America is…

In early February, the state Senate Majority put forth a comprehensive “Jobs and Opportunity Agenda” calling for new tax cuts, broadbased regulatory reform, workforce development strategies, and a major refocusing of the state’s economic development initiatives including shutting down the controversial START-UP New York program.

A study released last week by the financial news site 24/7 Wall Street (247wallst.com) is a reminder why an agenda likes ours is fundamental to the future.

The bottom line of this new study could not be more straightforward: New York State has the highest tax burden in America.

New York taxpayers on average pay 12.7 percent of their income in state and local taxes – more than taxpayers in every other state in the nation do. Specifically, according to the study, New York is the secondhighest ranked state in income tax collections per capita and fifth highest in property tax collections per capita.

In his very first State of the State address in 2011, newly elected Governor Andrew Cuomo said, “New York has no future as the tax capital of the nation. Our young people will not stay. Our business will not come.

This has to change…the people of this state simply cannot afford to pay any more taxes, period.”

“New York has no future as the tax capital of the nation.” It produced one of the best applause lines in any State of the State message ever and it set the stage for true progress in New York on cutting taxes.

Clearly, however, the tax cut momentum has faltered. In fact, in his 2018-19 proposed state budget, Governor Cuomo includes upwards of $1 billion in higher taxes and fees. Equally critical, the governor’s commitment over the past eight years has simply not been aggressive enough on fundamental actions like comprehensive mandate relief and regulatory reform. The governor created, with great fanfare, a Mandate Relief Team in 2011 and, as part of the agreement to enact the two-percent local prop-

erty tax cap, he promised a comprehensive rollback of the unfunded state mandates that keep local property taxes high.

The Mandate Relief Team failed. The mandate relief promise has mostly not been kept.

New York cannot continue as one of the highest taxed and overregulated states in America. It’s that simple. We are losing our way again after eight years of the Cuomo administration. We are not staying focused on getting residents and businesses out from under one of the nation’s heaviest tax and regulatory burdens.

That’s the message delivered by the 24/7 Wall Street study.

In response, the Senate’s “Jobs and Opportunity” focus in 2018 includes, among other proposals: • legislation I sponsor to enact new tax cuts for small businesses and farms including, among others, increasing the corporate tax threshold from $390,000 to $500,000 and lowering the rate to 2.5 percent; • allowing real property owned by a small business to be eligible for the STAR property tax savings program; • extending the zero percent Corporate Franchise Tax parity to all manufacturers in New York regardless of how they are organized. Currently, only approximately 25 percent of manufacturers – those organized as C corps - can receive the zero percent rate on business income; and • reforming the regulatory, licensing, and permitting processes to make them easier to understand, more responsive to business concerns, increase transparency, improve consistency, and reduce overly burdensome or unnecessary requirements.

It is time to reorder New York State’s priorities so that we tax less, regulate less, mandate less, and create more and better jobs.

Note: The views expressed on this “Opinion” page do not necessarily reflect the position of the Steuben Courier Advocate.

When it comes to winning or losing, I prefer the former.

However, for some people winning is more than their character can bear. People on the wrong side of a competition tend to become more creative, work harder and try to find a way to win the next round.

It is hard for some people to maintain that drive and determination after winning.

Unfortunately in politics, the frequent result of winning is retribution. Lord Acton said, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

The part of the equation that Lord Acton didn’t factor in is that it takes absolute power to corrupt people of good character. Small people can be corrupted by a minuscule amount of power.

Unfortunately, the Republicans in the White House and Congress have shown that they are more than willing to exercise their newfound legislative majority to discriminate against minorities in our culture, including immigrants, refugees and those whose faith isn’t a doctrine preferred by the majority.

At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last week, we were led to believe that conservatives like: — Donald Trump – the gathering gave him a 93 percent approval rating.

— Fascism – They actually invited Marion Maréchal-Le Pen of France to speak at the event.

— Unchecked sexual abuse and harassment – Conservative writer Mona Charen was booed and had to be escorted out of the building when she mentioned that sexual misconduct claims about the president had gone uninvestigated and unpunished.

Things conservatives don’t like: — Legal immigration – A speaker was booed when he talked about a beautiful naturalization ceremony for a legal immigrant to become a U.S. citizen. According to Breitbart, 75 percent of those at CPAC

would not only like to end illegal immigration, but they also want to limit legal immigration.

— Black people – The CPAC Communications Director stood at a podium and announced that the party had been wrong to select “a black guy” as the head of the Republican National Committee. It wasn’t some hidden tape that was released later. He was at a podium with a microphone. He later apologized to Michael Steele who politely declined to accept the apology.

— Any gun control legislation.

CPAC allowed NRA head Wayne LaPierre to speak this year. After another school shooting, LaPierre lamented that everyone blames the NRA after mass shootings simply because they support policies that make school shootings much more likely and easier to commit.

“It’s not a safety issue, it’s a political issue,” LaPierre said. “They care more about control. Their goal is to eliminate the Second Amendment and our firearms freedoms so they can eliminate all individual freedoms.”

I haven’t heard any actual calls to do away with the Second Amendment, but school shootings where children die needlessly do raise the appetite of the voting population for gun control ideas.

Even President Donald Trump listed some ideas for gun control last week after the shooting.

But if you want to see how a small amount of power can be abused in a big way, you need to look no further than the Oklahoma State House of Representatives.

Before each legislative session begins, the legislative body still has a Chaplain of the Day come in to give a little devotion, say a blessing or just pray over the House.

The legislator who is tasked with planning the Chaplain of the Day has pretty unchecked authority to determine who will speak to the members each day. There is no committee. The Speaker of the House appoints someone to handle it and they unilaterally decide.

If you don’t see the potential issue there, you haven’t been around

politics much.

Rep. Chuck Strohm from Jenks was granted the right and responsibility to handle this year’s chaplains of the week or day — depending on the situation. He proved that there should be a formal set of rules set by the body and not just one representative.

Rep. Strohm decided that any chaplain should be from the legislator’s own house of worship.

There are many questions.

— How often do I have to attend for it to be my “house of worship?”

If I go to a mosque and a synagogue once a year, does that count? I have attended services at an Ethiopian Orthodox church this year. Is that good enough?

— If a representative is an atheist, are they not allowed to nominate a chaplain?

— Why was there a need to set this policy?

Obviously, the intent is fully discriminatory. Rep. Jason Dunnington actually invited a Muslim Imam to be a chaplain. A rabbi could have been included without this rule. The Oklahoma legislature is overwhelmingly made up of those who claim |membership in traditional Christian denominations.

I claim a similar background.

However, I am confused. I thought representatives were elected to represent all of the people in their district. If the policy said the chaplain had to come from a member’s own district, I would understand.

I don’t see how Speaker of the House Charles McCall can allow this policy to continue. The idea of getting elected isn’t supposed to be to enrich your friends and punish your enemies.

Where are the public servants?

We should demand better of those who ask for our votes and claim to represent us.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reed’s empty response To the editor: Congressman Reed’s empty response to the Parkland, Florida murders ~ “We must not take away Second Amendment rights” ~ endangers all Americans. The following letter was signed by over forty people gathered outside Tom Reed’s office on Wednesday 21 February 2018.

“We, the residents and voters of the 23rd Congressional District, call on Congressman Reed to lead the way and enact meaningful, common sense gun legisla-

tion. This would include, but not be limited to, 1) a minimum 14 day waiting period before purchasing a gun, 2) minimum age of purchase at 21, 3) a ban on bump stocks and cranks, 4) a background check for all sales and 5) registration of each firearm.

In a country where it is necessary to register a driver’s license, a car, a boat, a motorcycle, a scooter, a drone and a dog, Congress can no longer simply call mass murders a mental health or a political issue.

America’s present lack of gun control is a domestic threat to every American.

Finally, and most important,

the call for Meaningful Gun Legislation can no longer be an issue whose agenda is driven by the National Rifle Association nor is it any longer enough to simply send ‘thoughts and prayers to the families of innocent victims.’ Quoting Emma Gonzalez ~ a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High Schoolmurders: ‘It is time to start doing something.’ ” Not one of the suggested legislation takes away Second Amendment rights.

Take a small break and evaluate your next set, either increasing or decreasing your weight or using no weight at all. Depending on the condition and strength of your shoulder area, shoot for at least three sets. Keep your arms slightly in front of you, controlling the movement and not overextending your shoulders.

This rowing motion is great for all levels, keeping the movement slow and methodic. Listen to your body, if you need, take a break and re-evaluate your position and try it again with either lighter or no weight at all.

When it comes to shoulder fitness, whether you are building for strength or function, this area needs extra care. Our move today is an alternating upright row. The focus is the whole shoulder area and upper back. You will need a set of light to medium hand weights for this move or you can improvise with water bottles, weighing in at about 1 pound.

Begin this exercise with your weights in each hand and standing. Hold your chest tall, engage your core with both arms extended down in front of your body, palms facing your thighs. Roll your shoulders back and down; you are ready to start rowing.

Continued from 1A Cohocton Development Corporation (C.D.C.) building, located at 71 Maple Ave. in the Village of Cohocton, resulted in the arrest of Thomas L. Cox, 70, of 9 Wheeler St., Cohocton, who serves as village mayor.

Just before midnight last Friday, Wayland-based New York State Police responded to the C.D.C. building for a report of underage drinking. Authorities said an investigation revealed that two teenagers, ages 14 and 19, had been consuming alcohol, which had allegedly been pro-

Cox was subsequently charged with two counts of first-degree unlawfully dealing with a child, a class A misdemeanor. Cox was arraigned before Town of Cohocton Justice David Domm, and released without bail conditions. Cox is scheduled to reappear in Cohocton Town Court at a later date.

The Cohocton Development Corporation is the business improvement district, which spearheads the annual Fall Foliage Festival, which Cox chairs, according to the festival’s website.

An investigation determined that Cox had regular access to the

Continued from 1A County and much of the nation Monday morning to the Steuben County Legislature.

“The opioid epidemic is here, hurting and costing everyone in Steuben County,” Baker said. “It’s a whole new animal for us to deal with.”

Allard and Baker detailed a Comprehensive Opioid Prevention Effort (COPE) to the Legislature geared to attack the problem through enforcement, treatment, and prevention, accompanied by a cultural change to meet the public health crisis.

The plan proposes an initiative to address enforcement, prevention, treatment and social change through education, and looks to save lives, change the culture and protect our county.

“Lets not give this lip service,” Allard said. “It’s a life or death decision. Something needs to be done.”

Baker said we all suffer symptoms from the disease – whether it is as taxpayers, business owners, property owners, crime victims, addicts, or the loved ones of good people lost.

“No one in Steuben is unaffected,” Baker said. “We recognize, as do local, state and national leaders, this is a public health crisis of staggering proportions that requires aggressive actions at all levels – prevention, treatment, social and law enforcement.”

Allard told the Legislature we cannot wait for state or federal authorities to act.

“We must do all we can now to stem the tide here in Steuben County through prevention, treatment, culture change and enforcement,” Allard said.

“Good people are dying, and we are losing potential our communities cannot stand to lose.”

“We have no reason to believe that any of them were there unlawfully,” said New York State Police Senior Inv. Curt Eaton.

Investigators could not reveal whether the teens are related to Cox, calling them the “victims” in the incident. They were not charged or cited.

State Police said no additional charges are expected to be filed.

If convicted of the class A misdemeanors, Cox could face up to a year in county jail and/or a $1,000 fine on each of the counts. His two year term as mayor expires in April 2019.

candidates cannot pass drug tests.

Current law enforcement efforts are not enough, given the volume, and types, of illegal substances now available in Steuben.

We are understaffed and traditional investigative techniques on the limited scale we can currently employ are not enough.

We cannot “enforce” our way out of the epidemic, which has become a public health crisis.

THE CHALLENGE:

Insufficient treatment beds locally (none for women) Insufficient number of drug treatment providers.

Inability to identify and reach out to addicts.

Under reporting of the problem.

Social stigma associated with addiction and treatment.

Lack of positive activities for at risk population of local youth.

No real hope of additional state or federal funding.

Absence of concrete prevention programs.

THE SOLUTION:

Create a Victim Impact Panel for ‘Drug Related’ Crime Following through with Steuben’s highly successful victim impact panel – a requirement for those convicted of Driving While Intoxicated – appropriate drug crime defendants would be required to attend the Community Impact Panel as part of a sentence or disposition. The goal of the panel is to begin to change the culture around opioid abuse and treatment just as we have with successfully done with drunk driving.

Youth Courts – Hornell Pilot According to the Steuben Prevention Coalition opioids are not a major factor in our high schools, but “hard” drug use starts shortly thereafter; with many high school students now experimenting with “gateway” drugs.

St. Thomas offers tastings, wine course

Wine was an important part of a culture and faith in biblical times.

hab, school based alternatives to community service.

Youth Prevention Program Competition Prevention means taking out the next market for opioids – the current generation of high school and middle school students – by changing the culture of each generation and providing positive outlets for activity.

Each school district may submit to a county panel a program aimed at some facet of the opioid epidemic and a “business plan” for implementing their program. The panel, appointed by Steuben County Manager Jack Wheeler would select high and middle schools annually to receive commemorations and a modest grant to the district to implement the program/plan. Cost: $7,500.

Creation of ‘incarcerated patient’ treatment program With some 80 percent of inmates at the county jail suffering from substance abuse/alcohol issues the Steuben County Sheriff ’s office intends to implement a secure “incarcerated treatment” program.

Prevention/ Treatment/ Education Components The program will follow standard “in-patient” protocols and offer counseling, self-help meetings and other effective treatment programs to male and female inmates within the jail through Steuben County Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services.

NARCAN/overdose reporting and contact local law Once “revived” most addicts are free to refuse hospitalization or further treatment, leading to a cycle of untreated dependence.

The proposed local law requires all law enforcement and emergency medical “NARCAN saves” and emergency room overdose treatment cases be reported to the Steuben County Community Services Office and include the name and address of the patient.

Within 72 hours of the report, SCASAS will reach out to the patient – using law enforcement if necessary – to do a

welfare check, provide information on treatment services available and contact information, and facilitate any requested treatment services.

Enforcement

With a 100 percent conviction rate, the current Steuben County District Attorney’s Drug Initiative is successful – but it is not enough. The current category of drugs has a huge profit margin for dealers, kills on contact and is more addictive than any collection of substances we have ever faced. Steuben and its localities must adopt the following law enforcement measure: Create a multi-County drug intelligence sharing group Our goal is to use existing connections to Yates, Livingston and Monroe Counties – along with the state police – to create a cooperative intelligence sharing information, combining resources and coordinating investigations. Cost: Minimal.

Interdiction Increase While the county is currently interdicting drug traffic via “fortuitous” traffic violations, a true interdiction effort with properly trained and equipped officers and linked to a broader multi county drug intelligence initiative would dramatically interrupt opioid trafficking. Coupled with Steuben’s felony and misdemeanor forfeiture laws this county would become a uniquely expensive and unfriendly place to deal drugs. Cost: Two additional deputies trained in interdiction, equipped with License Plate Readers and K-9 officers, and prepared to patrol I-86 and I-99.

County increasing number of drug investigators There are currently two full-time drug investigators in Steuben County, with support from a part time drug investigator in the DA’s office. Additional sheriff ’s investigators will allow Steuben to act 24/7, potentially running two operations at the same time and drug dealers off the street when the information comes in.

MOVIE

‘Game Night’ is a winner

By Dana Barbuto More Content Now

Oh, the games people play. And the games played on them. Just ask the group of friends caught up in the unexpected chicanery of “Game Night” when they discover the all-for-fun murder-mystery contest they’ve engaged in turns out to involve a very real kidnapping. Suddenly, instead of turning over clue cards, they’re outrunning mobsters, dodging bullets and trying to stop a Learjet from taking off. Maybe the premise isn’t the most plausible, but it’s lot more fun than you’d expect.

Co-directed by “Spider Man: Homecoming” scripter John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (the “Vacation” reboot), “Game Night” thrives on a quirky energy enlivened by a smart tendency not to take itself too seriously. Any misgivings are assuaged by a game-for-anything cast topped by Jason

Bateman and Rachel McAdams. They’re Max and Annie, an ultra-competitive couple who meet cute at a bar trivia night in the movie’s opening minutes.

Fast forward a few years, and before you can say Yahtzee! they’ve happily settled into a cul-de-sac existence in suburbia. To break up the monotony, they play host to a weekly game night at which the players alternate between Pictionary, Jenga, charades, Risk, Life and other games. Joining them is Billy Magnussen as a doofus with a different blonde squeeze each week. On this particular night he’s brought a ringer (Sharon Horgan).

Then there are childhood sweethearts played

by Kylie Bunbury and Lamorne Morris (doing a spot-on Denzel Washington impersonation). Appearing as a special guest is Max’s charismatic older brother, Brooks (Kyle Chandler going against type). Jesse Plemons is their creepy neighbor.

To one up his broth-

er, Brooks arranges a murder-mystery party, complete with an outfit called Murder We Wrote supplying fake thugs and faux federal agents. “This will be a game night to remember,” Brooks promises. He dangles the keys to his cherry-red 1976 Corvette Stingray as a prize for the winner.

Cue the sibling rivalry, the stress of which may or may not be affecting Max’s ability to procreate. That’s the movie’s central conflict.

So, when Brooks is kidnapped, it’s all part of the game ... right? Not so fast. Too many multiple plot twists take over, as their chaotic night unfolds and the game’s six contestants unwittingly ford into increasingly more danger. Bateman and McAdams keep the script from Mark Perez (the underrated “Accepted”) percolating. He’s a master at smug and deadpan humor. She’s a delight in a Calamity Jane sort of way. A scene in which she attempts

to use a pocket knife to extract a bullet from Max’s forearm and then cleans the wound with Chardonnay is especially funny. After a string of dramatic roles (“Spotlight,” “Doctor Strange”), it’s refreshing to see McAdams tap back into her comedic side.

The biggest problem with the high-concept “Game Night” (think: “Date Night,” “Adventures in Babysitting” and “Hangover” — with a splash of David Fincher’s “The Game” — all rolled into one) is its episodic structure that begins to feel repetitive. The characters move from one situation to the next, sticking their noses where they shouldn’t. There’s also one too many twists, many of them serving as an excuse to allow for several cameos. Mostly, the movie is worth the ante.

The banter is snappy and the pacing is brisk, which makes the whole experience much lighter and more enjoyable than you might imagine. Game on.

WHAT’S UP at MOSSY BANK PARK March 4, 2018 - The climate scientists who insist there is climate change and global warming are careful to caution that the weather of any given day, week, or year cannot necessarily be attributed to climate change. This is reasonable, as climate is a long term phenomenon. However, these climate scientists also point out, what may well be indications of climate change are more severe or extreme events such as: temperature extremes; particularly severe storms; and unprecedented floods or fires. While thaws seem to occur sometime almost every winter in the Finger Lakes of New York, this winter has brought repeated thaws, and near the end of February, successive daytime temperatures near 70 degrees F and overnight temperatures near 50 degrees F. That strikes me as extreme. Wondering what such a spell would do to Mossy Bank Park, I walked up and around the park on a clear, bluesky, sunny morning with temperatures that varied from 50 to 68 degrees F. It was great to be out that morning. The air was fresh and clean.

Trails were wet and just a bit muddy, but not so much as to make for poor footing, even down the steepest trails.

Compared to a couple weeks earlier, it certainly seemed that many of the pincushions of moss were greener. Shaking out a bit of pincushion moss later and looking through the microscope revealed the rotifers and a Paramecium-like protozoan were warm enough to swim in search of their bacterial food.

The evergreen Polypody Fern (Polypodium vulgare) also looked more verdant, but perhaps it was just by being in the sunshine. At the Lower Overlook, the waxy leaves of Trailing Arbutus (Epigaea repens) and American Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) glistened in the morning moisture, the latter accented by its bright red ‘teaberries’. This fauxMay weather failed to fool any shrub or tree buds into swelling, much less opening. Although a mature Bald Eagle was atop the nest tree in the valley last week, no eagles were sighted this day. The other usual winter birds were noted, but the strange weather did have an effect on two species, the males of which decided to try their first true songs of the year. A Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) moved beyond his alarm “dee-dee-dee” and let out a bona fide “Hey Sweetie”. Similarly, a Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hymenalis), whose

D. Randy Weidner brethren just chipped at me on my way up to the park, sang his trilled song on my way down.

Other animals proved to be scarce, but two insects, a bee investigating a discarded bottle, and a gnat flying aimlessly, represented the arthropods. Two opportunistic fungi popped out on decaying logs, Orange Jelly (Dacromyces palmatus) and Cheese Polypore (Tyromyces chioneus).

Coming back down and out of the park I encountered two friends who frequently hike the park’s trails. It seemed like among the flora, fauna, and funga at Mossy Bank Park, a few of them, like me and those friends, could not resist this thaw as a reason to break out of winter mode.

Lest the reader think this idyllic scene was perfect in all ways, let me offer the rest of the picture as I all too often experience it during a hike up into and around Mossy Bank Park. Along with my binoculars and hand lens, I never hike the park without another essential tool, a large plastic shopping bag.

Among the items that eventually filled the bag this day were: a plastic ball; two shooting targets and the duct tape that held them to a tree; a discarded empty box of ammunition; several beer cans, beer bottles, and plastic soda or water bottles, each of which was tossed into the bush and almost always down a steep bank; a spent shotgun shell and a plastic shell wad; cigarette butts; candy wrappers; snack food bags; and Styrofoam cups. This day’s walk was thankfully lacking in used tissues and disposable diapers. It is hard to understand how someone can come to a place of beauty and leave it despoiled. I frequently meet people who comment on how well the trails are kept at the park.

Not a few of them say how nice it is that people respect and care for the park. At such times I just smile and agree, but that is not exactly the same feeling I express to myself as I fill bag after bag with litter.

OAK DUKE

Nine-point buck with a forked G2 tine hits a zip-tied scrape just before the 2017 rut.

2018 Rut: Very early and then good for the gun season

By Oak Duke The upcoming 2018 whitetail rut should unfold as a mirror image of the 1999 and 2010 events, very early for bow hunters, and then great for those of us who carry a gun into the deer woods in New York and Pennsylvania.

2018 will feature a bifurcated rut…twopronged.

Why is that?

Well, this September, the moon will be full just two days away from the Autumnal Equinox.

And when this celestial conjunction occurs (the moon and the equinox at the same time)...we witness our earliest rut according to records, most recently in 2010.

Those of us who track these rut patterns note that history repeats to a surprising degree. And therefore have an increasingly higher degree of certainty with these prognostications of the annual daytime activity of rutting whitetails.

Last season, in 2017, things were different, as they are in each consecutive year.

The rut spiked quickly, as predicted, after Halloween and throughout the first week of November.

The vast majority of those bow benders who had expected and bet on a later-than-usual rut were disappointed...say-

ing, “where’s the rut?”

“What happened?” All this, chronicled on hunting websites and message boards in the Northeast and the Midwest.

Last season, the 2017 renewal showed an amazing intensity on the hunting properties that I closely monitor with cameras. The peak was right in the center of the sweet spot of the Full Moon on November 4.

But just a week later, the scrapes which were so hot, producing 24-hour buck interaction, were virtually dead, showing little action, with a correspondingly steep dropoff of trail cam j-pegs and videos. Just a week before, the hard drive space that rutting deer images gobbled up at those same scrapes could be measured in gigabytes.

Now, the slate is wiped clean.

A new whitetail rut is looming on the horizon, holding frustration for sure, but at the same time the seductive promise and challenge, dangling in front of us... a mature buck on its feet during the daytime.

Deer hunters best be prepared for what is going to occur, a very early and abbreviated main spike in rut activity prior and through Halloween this upcoming season.

A second major peak will reach its crescendo around Thanksgiving, a traditional late rut in the

wheelhouse of the gun season.

Of course this does not mean that the odd buck will not dig out a hot doe around Veteran’s Day, but most of the breeding bucks will be hooked up with the doe of their choice then, in what is called “lock down,” with its legendary scarcity of movement.

And by mid-November, as the archery season experiences finality, it will seem as if all the bucks had disappeared.

Those of us who have spent many seasons hunting through all the days of the rut easily recall those times of scarcity all too well. We call it “feast or famine.” Either we are in the action, or more likely, sitting in stand-after-stand wondering where all the deer went. That’s when those thoughts of “you know...I could be doing something else,” creep into even the most passionate bow hunter’s mind.

But then, right at the end of the New York state Southern Zone archery season, things (i.e. buck activity) will start to pick up again. Opening Day of gun season comes too soon as bow hunters could have used just a bit more time.

New York State, as well as Pennsylvania should see another increase in their buck-takes in 2018 as many more bucks than usual will be on their feet

in the daytime, almost impossible to pry away from the females of the species. Just about all the prime-age does, the rest that hadn’t been bred in the first go-around, will come into estrus at about the same time, right around Thanksgiving.

There are a few ways that we keep tabs and check on how the rut unfolds, other than firsthand observation. One is by using our trail cams and a second way, is to record the frequency of road kills.

A fourth formula for pinning down the past rut peak is to backdate the spring fawn drop.

Though admittedly imprecise, the en masse birthing of fawns usually occurs within a 10-day window. Since we know that the average gestation period of a whitetail doe is 200 days, we count back to validate the conception date, the breeding window of the previous rut.

So when we see a widespread fawn drop in early to mid-May during the upcoming 2018 spring gobbler season, we will give last year’s early rut peak an extra certification stamp, that yes, we had an early rut last fall, with the main spike in action occurring in the first week of November and we are a witness to the spotted result on the ground.

Students prepping for youth legislative session

By Jeff Smith Steuben Courier

BATH — Fifteen Steuben County high school students were introduced Monday to the Steuben County Legislature.

The students are currently preparing to be part of the Steuben County Youth in Government Simulated Legislative Session, set for May 14.

Jim Gallagher, Steuben County Youth in Government Coordinator, said the program has been offered to high school juniors and seniors by the county for the past three decades and offers the students an opportunity to learn more about local government operations.

“One of the best things about (the program) is networking,” said Evan Czajkowski, a Haverling High School student. “I’ve met a lot of people. Recently with the Steuben Prevention

Coalition I wrote an article about the opioid epidemic. I thought it was very beneficial and it’s good to know people and how to meet them, so later you can come back and use them as references.”

Gallagher said over the next few months the students draw up resolutions and meet in a simulated legislative session to complete the course.

The students taking part in the event included Czajkowski, Hayden Barry, of Avoca, James Beckman, of CorningPainted Post, Connor Bell, of Haverling, Adrianna Buckley, of Bradford, Cassidy Case, of Haverling, Matthew Cole of Hammondsport, Conner Gallagher of Bradford, Cairo Gaona, of CorningPainted Post, Joanna Glick of Prattsburgh, Krianne Hadley of Avoca, Natalie Lowin, of Hammondsport, Ali Mark of Prattsburgh, Hunter Noteware, of Haverling, Michelle Parsels, of Haverling, and Adam Zingler Corning-Painted Post.

Avoca falls to No. 1 Prattsburgh

Evening Tribune DANSVILLE — It was an all-Steuben County showdown in the nightcap of the Section V, Class D2 semifinals doubleheader Monday night Dansville.

Two familiar rivals, No. 5 Avoca and No. 1 Prattsburgh met once again, this time with a trip to the Section V finals at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester on the line.

By tip-off, they knew another Steuben Coun-

ty foe, No. 6 Bradford, would be waiting in the finals. The Braves dispatched No. 2 Belfast in the opener, setting the stage for an all-Steuben County matchup in the Section V finals.

The only question was whether it would be Avoca or Prattsburgh meeting Bradford on Saturday.

For most of the first half, the outcome was still very much in doubt.

The Tigers leapt from the gates early and led 20-10 with 51.1 seconds left in the first quarter.

Prattsburgh finished with a flourish, however, netting the final six points of the frame.

The Vikings kept the momentum rolling and eventually took the lead mid second quarter and rolled from there to an 82-62 win over the Tigers.

Prattsburgh outscored Avoca 28-13 in the second quarter to take control. The lead grew to 20 by the end of the third quarter as the Vikings secured another finals berth. They’ll be looking to avenge last year’s finals loss and add another Section V title to the trophy case.

Avoca (15-8) graduates a handful of seniors led by Evan Reppert, plus Colby Damboise, Bryan Wakefield, Mike Oliver and Blake Abbott.

Rams advance to sectional finals

HONEOYE — No. 3 Bath defeated No. 10 Dansville 67-64 in overtime in the semifinals of the Section V Class B

tournament on Monday.

“This was a hard fought win vs two teams that are very familiar with each other,” Bath head coach Randy Abrams said. ‘Hats off to Dansville as they played a very good game.”

The Rams were down 43-37 at the end of the third quarter, but stormed back to tie the contest outscoring Dansville 19-13 in the fourth to force overtime.

Bath was able to outlast the Mustangs in the final frame, outscoring them 11-8 to advance to the finals.

“We’ve been in overtime games twice this year, we’ve been down in games and fought back,” said Abrams.

‘There wasn’t anything that was going to surprise us. We’ve lost on this floor inthe semis the last two years so it feels great to get that monkey off our back.”

Jadyn Abrams had 35 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead the Rams and Mackenna Taggart added 12 points and 10 rebounds.

For Dansville, Grace Rittenhouse and Hannah LaPlant each netted 20 points.

The Rams will be appearing in their first ever finals March 3 at RushHenrietta at 5 p.m.

LIFE Continued from 1A for owners surrendering their pets to the Humane Society is behavioral issues, further validating the need for the program.

For now, only female inmates may participate in the program, and must go through a qualification process. They make a request to the Corrections Officer, go through an interview, and a training session. The best candidates are then selected. Currently, six inmates participate. Each dog has both a primary and secondary handler.

The program has helped reduce tensions at the jail, according to Valentine.

“There’s a lot less stress and drama. Ralphy has had an impact on both the officers and the inmates,” he said.

Ralphy, the program’s first dog, was brought to the shelter well underweight and with medical issues, including heart worm, and was the perfect candidate for the SPIRIT program.

Ralphy’s primary handler, a female inmate from Corning, said, “When I first saw him, I thought he was a cute dog with a lot of potential ... I’m very thankful to be a part of this. Ralphy is a good dog who deserves a really good home. It’s hard to see him go, but I’m so happy for him.

“I just wanted to make him feel as safe and comfortable as possible, and that goes a long way in making the dog feel at ease,” she continued, something that can be hard to find in a jail setting.

The experience convinced the inmate to stick with it, and volunteer with a shelter when she leaves the jail in a few short weeks — a major goal of the program.

Sheriff Jim Allard detailed the benefits inmates see as a result.

“We’re always open to any program that will benefit the safety, security and development of the inmates.

We want to both give the inmates discipline, but also give them training that they can use when they leave,” he said. “It’s built an understanding between officers and inmates. Typically, inmates have impulse control issues, it’s why they’re here. This teaches them not only impulse control with the animals, but I think they pick up impulse control that will benefit them.”

Ralphy also benefited greatly.

“After a week you could see him turn around,” Valentine said, crediting the inmates for a job well done.

“He’s a totally different dog. It’s a night and day difference.”

The dog gained 20 pounds in the inmates’ care.

It was an emotional goodbye as Ralphy’s primary handler gave him a final pat on the head, realizing that they were both destined to begin a new chapter in their lives, each facilitated by the other. Ralphy is back at the Hornell Area Humane Society in Hornell, and ready for adoption into a loving home.

On Monday, March 5, the program begins anew, as three puppies are expected to be delivered to the jail from the Humane Society.

Those interested in supporting the SPIRIT program can do so by sending donations to the Hornell Area Humane Society and noting “SPIRIT Program” on checks.

Neurauter trial set for Sept. 24

By Jeff Smith Steuben Courier

CORNING — Karrie M. Neurauter, 20, of Syracuse, and Lloyd J. Neurauter, 45, of 155 Marc Drive, North Brunswick, New Jersey, each pleaded not guilty Monday to killing Michele Neurauter August 27, 2017 at her Dwight Avenue home.

The joint trial of the two accused is set for Sept. 24, in front of Steuben County Court Judge Peter C. Bradstreet at the Steuben County Office Building in Bath.

“My belief is this could be a relatively long trial,” said Steuben County Public Defender Brooks Baker. “There is a lot of proof in this case and a lot of little bits and pieces. It could take a long time.”

Steuben Sheriff • Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard reports that on Feb. 26, arrested Gerald Bush, 45, of West Morris Street, Bath, and Gordon Clayson, age 48, of West Washington Street, Bath. It is alleged that in the beginning of December 2017 Bush gave his issued New York State benefit card and PIN to another person which he was not authorized to do. Then in late December 2017, allegedly Clayson used Bush’s benefit card on three occasions, spending $191.91, receiving benefits that Clayson was not authorized or eligible to receive. Both Bush and Clayton were charged with the offense of Misuse of food stamps a class A Misdemeanor in violation of the New York State Social Services Law. Both were issued an appearance ticket to appear in the Village of Bath Court on March 21. The Steuben County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Steuben County Department of Social Services Fraud and Legal Affairs Unit, and the District Attorney’s Office.

• Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard reports that on Feb. 21, deputies arrested Allen J. Horton, 33, currently incarcerated at the New York State Collins Correctional Facility. Horton was arrested in the Village of Bath Court due to an arrest warrant in which he was charged with the offense of misuse of food stamps, a class A Misdemeanor. It is alleged that in late August and early September 2017 while incarcerated at the Steuben County Jail, Horton gave his New York State supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) benefit card and PIN to Amanda and Cory Counterman.

Amanda and Cory Counterman then allegedly used Horton’s SNAP benefit in the amount of $194, which they were not eligible for or authorized to receive. Horton is scheduled to reappear in the Village of Bath Court at a later date and was returned to the Collins Correctional Facility. Amanda and Cory Counterman were previously arrested relating to this incident and charged with Misuse use of food stamps. The Steuben County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Steuben County Department of Social Services Fraud and Legal Affairs Unit, the District Attorney’s Office and

Legislature backs Steuben Saves Week BATH — The Steuben County Legislature proclaimed last week “Steuben Saves Week.”

The proclamation cited personal and household savings as being fundamental to Steuben County’s stability and vitality; and adequate emergency savings, retirement funds and safe debt income ratios are critical components of personal financial security.

Baker said the killing of the Dwight Avenue woman by her daughter and ex-husband was the completion of a planned slaying.

Lloyd Neurauter is charged with first-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder, first-degree burglary, first degree custodial interference, tampering with physical evidence, offering false statement for filing, endangering the welfare of a child, second-degree conspiracy and second-degree custodial interference.

The first-degree murder count carries a maximum potential sentence of life without the possibility of parole.

“Lloyd steadfastly maintains his innocence in this case,” said Steuben County Public Defender Christopher Tunney.

“It’s tragic that his ex-wife has died and he maintains he had no part in that.”

When asked if Lloyd was in the Corning area at the time of the murder Tunney said, “that’s a matter that will be litigated in court, not in the newspapers.”

Karrie M. Neurauter is charged with second-degree murder, first-degree custodial interference, tampering with physical evidence, and second-degree custodial interference.

The second-degree murder count carries a sentence ranging from 15-25 years to life in prison. She is represented by Steuben County Public Defender David Hoffman.

Tunney said Lloyd Neurauter is very concerned about his daughter.

“I’ll just leave it at that,” Tunney said.

Accoring to Baker, the two were jointly indicted as co-conspirators.

“Right now they’re jointly indicted,”
