CHAZY — When Dr.George Clark was nearingretirement some years ago,individuals in the communi-ty turned to him to help theChazy Public Library. Sincehis passing in May, theyfound out he came throughfor them.

In July 2008, the libraryconducted a long-rangeplanning survey, receivingresults from nearly 1,100Chazy residents.

From the survey, the li-brary board of trusteeslearned parking, buildingsize and lack of handi-capped access were three ar-eas the residents found un-satisfactory.

The current library build-ing is noncompliant with theAmericans with DisabilitiesAct, enacted in 1990, ex-plained board presidentGeorge Brendler.

Another survey was con-ducted this fall, as towhether or not the residentswould be interested in hav-ing Clark’s office be the newlibrary. Based on those re-sults, the board unanimous-ly passed a resolution Dec. 2to accept Clark’s gift.

“Our lovable library isvery small. It has limitedroom for books, no readingor research areas,” saidBrendler, adding there islimited space to meet ADArequirements.

The board was notifiedthey had the opportunity toreceive Clark’s office thissummer.

“This is a fantastic oppor-tunity for the people ofChazy,” Brendler said, “tobe able to expand from ourlimited space in the historicHubbell building withouthaving to invest in land or anew building.”

Currently, the board is or-ganizing several committeesto look into fundraising,grants and figuring out thecosts of renovations.

“We cannot occupy thebuilding and begin any ren-ovations or construction un-til after being granted adeed,” explained Brendler,“which may take manymonths.”

However, the board hasbeen discussing ideas theyhope to see in the new build-ing, including handicappedaccessibility and researchand office areas.

The building currentlyhas handicapped accessibil-

ity, but needs upgrading.And, although they havefive bathrooms, they haveno handicapped bathroom.

“[We have] long neededfeatures not existent in theold building to be created inthe new one,” said Brendler.

They also hope to developthe land behind the buildingfor parking space.

“The scenic area along theriver would also provide anopportunity for small out-door functions as well,”Brendler added.

The board has voted to

create The Chazy Public Li-brary Foundation, whichwill allow the public tomake tax-exempt donationsfor the library project. Al-ready, some patrons havevolunteered to help withfundraising or give dona-tions.

Currently, the amountneeded to renovate thebuilding is unclear, al-though a construction andrenovation committee isforming to do cost projec-tions, beginning in early2010.

“This will give us a betteridea of how much money weneed to raise, “ Brendler ex-plained.

If the board had not ac-cepted the office building, itwould have been given tothe Alice T. Miner Museum,which received Clark’shome.

“Like the present build-ing, the doctor ’s office is lo-cated in the village centerand steeped in local history,allowing us to continuethose Chazy Public Librarytraditions,” said Brendler.

ROUSES POINT — After losing her son ina car accident in January, Kimberly Mc-Goldrick has found a way to honor him, andothers.

On Friday, Dec. 18, the public is invited togather at a Christmas tree at the village ofRouses Point offices on Lake Street, next tothe gazebo, where they can hang ornamentsin memory of a loved one or for those serv-ing overseas.

“I want to do it as a community service sopeople can get together and come out where

they need company,” McGoldrick ex-plained.

McGoldrick, a Girl Scout leader and dis-trict manager of the Girl Scout troops inChamplain, Mooers and Rouses Point, gotthe idea for the tree through the Eliza-bethtown troop leader.

“We were talking about it in ameeting one day and she said she al-ways does a memorial tree for theservicepeople and for a lost one,”McGoldrick explained.

After explaining to the leader she lost her16-year-old son, Jonathan, she wondered ifthe leader wouldn’t mind McGoldrick“stealing” her idea.

“So, we go the idea and I’m taking iton the road and going,” McGoldricksaid.

Now, she’s looking to the com-munity to participate.

Anyone interested in having anornament made may con-

tact McGoldrick and shewill have a Girl Scoutmake one. The communityis also welcome to make

their own to put on the tree.“We are making ... laminated

cardboard with a name and dateand who it is from and it’s goingto be hung up,” McGoldrick ex-

plained of the ornaments. “It’s going to belaminated so it will be protected.”

For those who may want an ornament cre-ated but would be unable to attend the cer-emony, McGoldrick said the Girl Scouts cando it for them.

To have an ornament made, contact Mc-Goldrick at 570-8114 or [email protected]. She is asking people togive their name, the person whom they wishto honor, the date in service or they passedaway, and who it is from.

The ornaments will be hung on the treeduring the Dec. 18 ceremony, which beginsat 7 p.m.

CHAZY — As years havepassed since William H.Miner ’s death, more andmore myths about the localphilanthropist have sur-faced. Dr. Joseph C. Burkehopes to change that.

Burke recently released abiography about Miner ti-tled, “William H. Miner: TheMan and the Myth.” Thebook reveals some of themyths surrounding Miner,as well as why some are of-ten of a negative connota-tion.

To promote his book,Burke will be holding twoupcoming lectures, Thurs-day, Dec. 17, at 7 p.m. at theMiner Institute and Friday,Dec. 18, at 7 p.m. at the AliceT. Miner Museum.

Thursday’s lecture will fo-cus on “William H. Miner:Why All the Myths and WhyAll the Negatives,” whichaccording to Burke is be-cause Miner was one of theAmerican mobility myths.

According to Burke, backin the 1890s, during the timeof John D. Rockefeller andHenry Ford, only a small se-lection of people ever be-came wealthy.

“No one could believe

MOOERS — For as long asEdie Morelock can remem-ber, the tree outside theMooers Free Library hasbeen lit for Christmas. How-ever, six years ago, the tradi-tion came to an end.

But, this year, with thehelp of community mem-bers, the tree is illuminatedonce again.

“Before I came here, everyear they were lighting [thetree],” said Morelock, direc-tor of the library. “Then,when I came ... my husbandand my son put the lights onthe tree.”

Morelock’s family used apole to put the lights on the40-foot-high tree, but afterthree years, the lights came

down from the wind.“I couldn’t get anybody to

put the lights back up be-cause nobody wanted to gothat high,” she recalled.

This year, however, theRev. Al Johnson, pastor ofMooers United MethodistChurch, spoke with CharlesSturniolo and Ted Kolff vanOoster wyk, members of thechurch, to figure out a wayto get the lights back on thetree.

“They kind of put theirheads together and theyworked all this out logisti-cally,” Morelock said. “I justgave them encouragement.”

On Nov. 25, with the helpof Jack Dragoon from Dra-goon Farm Equipment, em-ployee Chris Bulriss operat-ed a fork lift from Dragoon’swhile Sturniolo road the liftto the top of the tree andadorned it with lights.

“It went very smoothly,considering it was so tall,”

said Morelock.To celebrate the re-light-

ing of the tree, Scouts fromthe community came outDec. 3 to sing Christmas car-ols as the tree was lit.

“I think it’s wonderful,”Morelock said of the reestab-lished tradition. “I’m reallythrilled that this happened.Because I’ve tried for sixyears, unsuccessfully.”

“I kind of was like I’ll be-lieve it when I see it,” addedMorelock. “And, it actuallydid happen.”

Morelock wishes to thankeveryone in the communityfor utilizing the library morethis year, and hopes theyhave a “Merry Christmas.”

The Mooers Free Libraryis open Tuesday andWednesday, 10 a.m. to 7p.m.; Thursday, 4-7 p.m,;and Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 12p.m.

CCRS Holiday Concert Sunday


ROUSES POINT — Localauthors are coming togetherto help raise money for twolocal organizations.

The North Country Au-thors Meet and Greet will beheld at St. Patrick’s Church,this Saturday, Dec. 12, from2-6 p.m.

During the event, authorsDr. Richard Frost, Jim Mil-lard, Eleanor Berger, andGordie Little will give spe-cial presentations to the au-dience about the books theyhave had published.

“[Millard] is very popularis Rouses Point,” said or-ganizer and authorLawrence Gooley. “I suspecthe’ll be the primary draw,which is going to be good forall of us.”

Gooley is hoping bybringing in some well-known local authors, itcould help others.

“I realized that we havesome people up here that aremore high-profile thanmost,” said Gooley. “And, ifthey get together, you canattract more attention andhopefully attract more at-tention for people whosebooks are lesser-known.”

Gooley, co-owner ofBloated Toe Publishing, a lo-cal publishing firm, will alsobe on-hand to give assis-tance to those who may beinterested in having a bookpublished.

“We’re there to answer alot of questions,” Gooley ex-plained. “Questions that wehad years ago about ‘Well,

I’ve got this idea, but howdo I do it?’”

“Every step of the way wecan tell someone what theyneed to do to get pub-lished,” he added.

Gooley and his partner,Jill McKee, started BloatedToe five years ago, after re-alizing the struggle of get-ting published.

“We noticed that a lot ofpeople were struggling andthey had a difficult timemaintaining sales,” saidGooley. “You might have aburst of sales at first, butthen it kind of dies out. Mostof the profit goes to otherpeople and we’ve been try-ing to change that.”

Gooley added the pub-lishing world has complete-ly changed in recent years.

“You can self-publish.There’s not stigma attachedto it anymore ... and you canearn a profit,” he said.

Now, Gooley is using hisknowledge of publishingand his connection with lo-cal authors to help out theDodge Memorial Libraryand the Rouses Point-Cham-plain Historical Society,during the meet and greet.

“Most of us who lovebooks, we look to the li-braries to begin with, thesame with historical soci-eties,” explained Gooley.“Most of us write books thatare related to local history,and we would like to addsome support to them.”

During the meet andgreet, seven authors, includ-ing those giving special pre-sentations, will be sellingsigned copies of their books,with part of the proceedshelping out the two organi-zations.

Attendees can arrive anytime from 2-6 p.m.

Last week, we looked at the ratification of the newWi-Fi (wireless local area network) standard,802.11n. This week, we look at the new standard and

discuss how it performs better than the older Wi-Fi standard,802.11g.

802.11g had a theoretical throughput rating of 54 Mbps butthe actual speed fell to half of that or even lower. Still, thethroughput was adequate for most uses when the standardwas introduced in 2003 and, because it operated in the 2.4GHz band, it was backward compatible with even older802.11b devices.

The new 802.11n standard uses completely new technolo-gy in some areas and tweaks existing technologies in otherareas to give Wi-Fi both more throughput and distance. Thechanges include multiple input-multiple output, channelbonding, and payload optimization.

Multiple input — multiple output (MIMO) is a new Wi-Fitechnology that uses multiple antennas to transmit and re-ceive multiple data signals. Instead of sending and receiv-ing one data signal, MIMO can simultaneously transmitthree signals while receiving two. The technology allows fora much higher throughput of data and it increases the dis-tance between wireless devices. Where 802.11g Wi-Fi usedonly one of 14 available channels to send or receive data,802.11n Wi-Fi introduces channel bonding which allows two

separate channels to transmitdata simultaneously increas-ing the total amount of datatransmitted. Payload opti-mization is a tweaking ofcurrent technology that al-lows more data to be carriedwithin each packet.

802.11n also providesbackward compatibility for802.11a, b and g devices soupdating to new accesspoints is possible without theneed to upgrade the wholesystem. Together, thechanges in the new Wi-Fi standard allow organizations theoption to easily deploy low-cost, higher-speed wireless tosatisfy the ever increasing appetite for more throughput.

Tech Talk By Ron Poland

Trying to do everything right promotes an all or noth-ing attitude. So, if you can’t do something perfect-ly (exercise daily for one hour), then you may not

do anything at all. That is not good. We need to change ourmindset and start believing every little bit counts! Here are“good enough” guidelines for four common “get fit” rec-ommendations.

Fruits and Vegetables — The perfect: nine servings a day.The good enough: five servings because that is all it takes tolower stroke risk by 31 percent, according to a recent Har-vard study.

Exercise — The perfect: 30 minutes of cardio-exercise fiveor more days a week. The good enough: 17 minutes a day.This still reduces your risk of heart disease by 27 percent.

Hydration — The perfect: eight eight-ounce glasses of wa-ter a day. The good enough: drink with all meals and in be-tween meals. Consider other beverages besides water(juices, milk, coffee, tea). Foods that contain water, soups,fruits and vegetables, contribute to hydration as well.

Strength training — The perfect: two or three times a week.The good enough: once a week. Research has shown people

who lift weights once a weekfor two months gained asmuch muscle as those wholift weights three times aweek; it just took a few weekslonger for the same results.The key is to slow down.Take your time while liftingto build muscle faster. Allowthree to four seconds to liftthe weight and three to fourseconds to lower it.

And, remember, it’s nevertoo late. Small changes mat-ter ... start today!

If you’ve shopped for groceries at a large supermarket,you’ve undoubtedly noticed the long “string” ofcoupons that print out at the register along with your

store receipt. These checkout coupons, or “Catalinas,” ascoupon shoppers commonly call them, are incredibly valu-able to coupon shoppers. (Catalina Marketing Corp. intro-duced the computer system that issues checkout couponsabout 25 years ago, although the company says it’s not surehow or why shoppers picked up on the name.) If you’ve evertaken a look at the kinds of Catalinas that print after yourshopping trip, you’ll notice that they typically fall into threecategories: money-off coupons for specific products,coupons for money off on your next shopping trip or alertsof upcoming sales.

A shopper receives money-off Catalinas when the UPCs ofcertain items in their cart are scanned at checkout time. Theregister “sees” a certain brand or type of item you are pur-chasing and spits out a Catalina that offers a discount on acompeting item that you may consider purchasing in the fu-ture. Last week I purchased a certain brand of apple juiceand received a $1 checkout coupon for a competitor ’s brandof apple juice. You may even receive a coupon for a free item!Just in the last month, I bought one variety of pet treats andreceived a coupon for a free package of treats from a com-peting brand. A couple of weeks later, I bought one brand ofyogurt and received a Catalina for a free 4-pack of a com-petitor ’s brand of yogurt.

The second type of Catalina is issued during a generalmoney-back sale at the store. You may see a store ad thatstates, “Buy any 10 products in this group and receive $10off your next order.” That $10 savings comes in the form ofa checkout coupon good for $10 off your next shopping trip.The discount is good on anything in the store. It’s just likehaving $10 cash to spend.

The third kind of checkout coupon is an “alert.” Thesecoupon alerts aren’t technically coupons, since they don’t of-

fer money off anything inparticular, but they do con-tain details of an upcomingsale at the store. These “se-cret” sales are typically notadvertised in any of thestore’s flyers, so these check-out alerts are the only wayshoppers can get in on thesavings.

Unfortunately, many shop-pers consistently overlookthe value of checkoutcoupons. It’s true that carry-ing a long, somewhat cum-bersome ticker-tape ofCatalinas with your receipt as you exit the store can be a mildannoyance. But the value of all three of these varieties ofcoupon cannot be overstated. They’re all important, and youshould save them all. I certainly do!

Just as we save all of our coupons that come in the news-paper, even the ones for things we think we may not buy,saving all of our Catalina coupons ensures that we’ll havethem on hand in case those items go on sale too. Almost twomonths ago, I received three $1 coupons for a smoothie bev-erage that I’d never tried before. Even though this is a prod-uct I wasn’t terribly interested in purchasing, I held onto theCatalina coupons. A few weeks ago, just before thosecoupons were due to expire … the smoothies went on salefor $1. Because I’d saved my Catalinas, now I got three ofthem for free!

(Editors note: The names in this ar-ticle, except for Judge TimothyLawliss, have been changed to protecttheir privacy.)

CHAMPLAIN — According tothe National Institute on AlcoholAbuse and Alcoholism, there arenearly 11 million underagedrinkers in the U.S. The NationalInstitute on Drug Abuse says near-ly one-third of all 12th gradershave used marijuana.

In hope of changing these statis-tics,Clinton County Family CourtJudge Timothy Lawliss is travelingto schools in the county with twopast drug and alcohol abusers.

“I preside over drug court and Iasked members of the drug courtteam if they had any suggestionsfor somebody who would be on theyounger side, who would be goodspeakers to come in and talk tomiddle school and high schoolkids,” Lawliss explained.

He was told of “James,” a manwho is now 14 years sober, fromboth alcohol and marijuana. Jamesalso suggested his friend “Chloe,”who is also several years sober.

On Dec. 3, Lawliss, Chloe andJames visited Northeastern Clin-ton Central School to speak stu-dents in seventh through 12thgrade.

“When I come and share withyou guys about what happened tome when I was drinking and drug-ging, it really reinforces all the badstuff and how it really affected myfamily and my friends and mylife,” said Chloe to the seventh-and eighth-graders. “I do this be-cause it really is my hope and mygoal that if there is one person inthis room that can hear something

that I say today that can help youin your future ... then I have beenvery successful here.”

Chloe had her first drink of al-cohol at the age of 13.

“As soon as I put that beer in mymouth and in my system, some-thing changed in me,” recalledChloe. “I instantly felt like I hadthe ability to be funny ... I wouldtry to be charming. I could talk tothe boy that I liked. I couldbe the popular one.”

Chloe felt alcohol hadbeen what was missing fromher life. Soon she was drink-ing to the point of blackingout and vomiting. Thingsgot so bad for her, her moth-er sent her to live with herfather.

“I get down there and sud-denly I’m not around my 21-year-old friends to buy mealcohol. So, I do the nextthing,” Chloe explained.

While living with her fa-ther, Chloe changed fromdrinking alcohol to smokingmarijuana every day.

After a short time with herfather, Chloe moved backwith her mother and starteddrinking again. She toldNCCS students of one par-ticular party she attended,which caused embarrass-ment for her throughout therest of her high school ca-reer.

“I passed out at a party and I washalfdressed,” Chloe recalled. “Togive you a good visual, my makeup was run down my face, my hairwas all nasty, I had vomit in myhair. I looked disgusting. And,somebody took my picture in thatstate ... and they made posters andthey went and they promptly putthose posters up in my high schooland all down my small town.”

From that moment on, Chloewas known as “Drunk Whore” byher classmates.

“Suddenly, that really gloriousglamorous kid that I thought I was,the party girl, the one that every-one wanted to hang out with andget drunk and high with, nobodywas talking to me anymore,” shesaid. “I really didn’t want to bethat person. But, I didn’t know

how not to be.”Eventually, with the help of a

guidance counselor at her school,Chloe made it to college at theState University of New York atPlattsburgh. Although she prom-ised herself she wouldn’t getdrunk and high every day, she did.

“I went out one night and got re-ally drunk,” said Chloe. “I just hadit. I was emotionally, mentally,spiritually was just dead. I looked

in the mirror and there was justnothing looking back at me. I wasa shell of a person.”

That night, Chloe took two bot-tles of aspirin in an attempt to endher life. Luckily, a friend came byand realized what happened andshe was brought to the hospital tohave her stomach pumped.

“Next thing I know I’m wakingup in an intensive care unit,” re-

called Chloe. “My body justfeels like it’s been destroyedand I’m broken. I said ‘Okay,I want my mommy.’”

“That was the beginning ofthe end for me,” she added.“That was when things start-ed to change in a better di-rection.”

Chloe went back to collegeto finish her degree, whereshe was also on the dean’s listfor the next three years.

“My life today is bar noneway better than it ever couldhave been when I was drink-ing and drugging,” she said.

James began his story byplaying a news clip from1994, when he was arrestedfor vehicular manslaughterfor killing a friend whiledriving under the influence.

His first experience withalcohol was at age 8.

“My father was campingwith my brother and I and hewanted to go fishing in the

morning,” remembered James.“So, he thought it was a good ideato give my brother and I a coupleof glasses of wine each so in themorning we would sleep in.”

The only memory James has ofthe trip is the feeling of having al-cohol for the first time.

“It was like something I foundthat I had been missing my wholelife. I felt a sense of freedom,” hesaid. “I felt like I was comfortable

in my own skin.”By eighth grade, James would

spend every weekend at a friend’shouse drinking.

“I never thought my drinking af-fected anybody,” James said.

Now, years later, he knows dur-ing those years, his mother wouldturn her phone off in her room andturn the fan on high so she would-n’t hear the phone ring whensomeone called to tell her Jameswas dead.

“That was her way of copingwith what I was doing,” he said.

At age 17, James was arrested forvehicular manslaughter and put instate prison.

“It’s a pretty lonely thing to gothrough, going to jail,” he told thestudents. “I was scared and I wasalone.”

To cope with his emotions, Jamesimmediately found people in jailwho could put him in contact withdrugs and alcohol. After being re-leased from prison, he was back todrinking regularly, even drinkingand driving.

Seven months after his releasefrom prison, James was back inhandcuffs, for attempted burglary.

This time, however, his brotherwas also arrested, which seemed tobe a wake-up call for James.

In prison, he attended rehab, be-cause he “couldn’t anymore ignorewhat alcohol had done to my life.”

“It was so obvious at 21 yearsold, being in state prison for thesecond time, wasn’t normal,”James said. “Not knowing how tocope with just basic emotions with-out taking a drink or drug, wasn’tnormal. So, I embraced the recov-ery program.”

“Unfortunately we know that[Chloe] and I are the minority,” headded. “Most addicted people willnever find recovery. Most addictedpeople will die from this disease.”

Students learn about drug abuse from those with experience

Parents are the number one influencewhen it comes to teens and alcohol.That’s especially important when

considering alcohol is the foremost youthdrug problem in America. Fortunately, par-ents can reduce a young person’s risk ofdrinking. MADD notes that 74 percent ofteens turn to their parents for guidance ondrinking, highlighting the influence in-formed and prepared parents can have onteens when it comes to alcohol.

To help parents, MADD recently launched“The Power of Parents: It’s Your Influence.”Sponsored by Nationwide Insurance, theprogram gives parents of high school stu-

dents real world communica-tion tips they can use at hometo stop teen alcohol use.

Tips include communicatebefore a problem starts; dis-cuss rules and consequences;show you care; pay attention;share family activities; giveand get respect; and enforceconsequences consistently.

The program, found on-lineat thepowerofparents.org, consists of twoparts, emphasizing both education and pre-vention:

1. A Web-based clearinghouse of the bestavailable research on how to reduce risk

written for parents, not sci-entists. The Web site includeseverything from conversa-tion tools to an “ask the ex-pert” section, wherein par-ents can learn how to effec-tively answer tough ques-tions about their own under-age alcohol experiences andhow to manage their alcoholconsumption in front of their

teens.2. A community-based program where

parents can come together to discuss provenstrategy for the initial conversation to havewith teens about alcohol as well as develop-

ing ongoing conversations to ensure teensstay on the right track. In addition to theWeb site, MADD has also worked with Dr.Robert Turrisi of Pennsylvania State Uni-versity to provide a handbook to parentsabout how to have the conversations aboutalcohol. Shown to reduce drinking signifi-cantly among college students, Turrisi hasadapted it for use among parents of highschool students.

Higher supervision and monitoring byparents consistently leads to lower levels ofdrinking.

anymore that the countrywas actually a place forequality of opportunity forall,” said Burke. “But theyweren’t going to give upcompletely on the idea ofmobility.”

The idea was at least somepeople could make it from“poverty to prosperity.”However, those who did notneeded to come up with areason why they didn’t suc-ceed.

“The idea is ‘I can’t blameit on myself because I didn’twork hard or I wasn’t goodenough. I have to find somefault in the hero,’” Burke ex-plained.

Miner was of one the peo-ple to climb the ranks towealth, leaving him open toridicule from those who didnot.

Burke said some of the ru-mors that surfaced aroundMiner was he often fired employees at theHeart’s Delight Farm for smoking or exces-sive noise.

However, after years of research, Burkewas able to combat some of the myths.

“I could find no placein his business or in thefarm where he ever firedanyone,” he explained.

Another myth is thatMiner was the creator ofthe Chazy Central RuralSchool, which Burke willgive a detailed explana-tion on during the lectureat the Alice T. Miner Mu-seum.

“The real creator of theChazy Central RuralSchool was really GeorgeMott,” said Burke. “NowWilliam Miner did manygreat things for theschool, but the one whoreally originated the idea was George Mott.”

Burke said his main reason for writing thebiography with a focus on the myths sur-rounding Miner is because of what he didfor Chazy, Clinton County and the Cham-plain Valley.

“When I’m thinking of the whole Cham-plain Valley ... he’s by far probably the great-

est philanthropist that ever lived.”Amanda Palmer, curator of the Alice T.

Miner Museum, is excited about the releaseof Burke’s book, as well as his upcoming lec-ture.

“I’m still almost week-ly confronted with the ru-mors and myths aboutWilliam Miner,” Palmersaid. “To have Dr. Burketalking about Miner andconfronting those mythsis very important to me,because I’ve happened tohave done a lot of readingand research myselfabout Alice and WilliamMiner.”

Palmer feels the Minergave a lot to the commu-nity, but not in a way thatwas meant to glorify him-self.

“They could havenamed it Miner Hospital or they could havenamed it William H. Miner School, but theydidn’t,” she said. “They weren’t interestedin personally puffing themselves up. Thatwasn’t their motivation at all.”

Burke’s book is available for purchasethrough the Miner Institute, by visitingwww.whminer.org. If interested in attend-ing the lecture at the museum, call 846-7336.

Bill Kohen of Elizabethtown shot this massive 8-pointer on thelast day of the 2009 northern zone season. The buck weighed182 pounds after being run ragged chasing does and sparringwith other bucks for dominance. If you have a picture of a mon-ster catch, e-mail it to John Gereau at [email protected]!Who knows? You may be featured in a future column!

Congratulations, Rabbit!The 2009 season grinds to a haltAs you read this

we’ll be clos-ing the cur-

tains on another northernzone hunting season.This time of year is al-ways a tad deflating.Cleaning out the fridge atcamp. Making ice fishingplans with lifetime hunt-ing chums that rarely ma-terialize. If only huntingseason lasted all year ...the world would be ahappier place.

Except for the deer, of course. Oh,and the hunting camp widows. At leastthe newly wed ones who still miss youwhen you’re gone.

For my crew this season will bemarked by a number of great memo-ries — culminating in one of the largestdeer we’ve taken in years. Neverthe-less, like most camps, we saw a lot lessdeer this season, especially does. I’veheard the same almost universallyacross the board. Crews that tradition-ally put a baker ’s dozen on the meatpole hung maybe half that this year.

Interestingly, though, state wildlife

officials are predict-ing that the overalltake will be up slight-ly higher than lastyear. Senior WildlifeBiologist Ed Reedtold me that, in spiteof the anecdotal evi-dence, the “reportedtake to date is actual-ly a little ahead oflast year.”

“We won’t knowhow this translates

into a calculated take until after theseason when we can determine the re-porting take,” he said.

Reed did say hunters also told himthey believe the deer herd seemedsmaller this year, and said his person-al experience in the woods also fol-lowed that trend.

But, he made a good point in that theweather definitely didn’t make lifeeasy on us.

“The weather was horrible for deerhunting most of the season with nosnow cover and warm temperatures.The deer just weren’t moving much,especially during the daylight hours,

although I did see quite a bit of bucksign in the woods. Our deer check ef-forts at meat cutters seemed to be lowearly in the season, but the past coupleof weeks have picked up consider-ably,” Reed said.

A look at local buck contests showsa similar trend, with a majority of thebucks weighed in the past coupleweeks, though most are reporting lessdeer overall. The weather gods didsmile on us the final weekend, andmost had at least a day with trackingsnow — even in the valleys.

I know a handful of local camps tookadvantage. The Euba Mills Outlaws inNew Russia, for example, more thandoubled their season-long take in oneweekend, and, word is some guy fromE-town named Rabbit broke a longbuckless lull with a big-tined eight.

Good stuff.
