WEST CHAZY — After a successfulyear of clearing trails and hosting moun-tain bike races, the Adirondack BikeRanch works toward moving inside.

Bike ranch organizer Paul Maggy isspending the cold winter months turn-ing an old miniature horse arena into anindoor bike park, which is located on thesame land as the Adirondack BikeRanch, at 90 Blue Chip Way.

“A year ago we really started planningit, but we actually started putting phys-ical labor into taking it apart, grading itdown to dirt, getting it level and readyto start building a ... terrain park abouttwo months ago,” Maggy explained.

Maggy’s plan for the indoor park is tohave a pump track, which is designed forflow a mountain bike up and over hillsand around corners, instead of pedaling,man-made bridges, teeter-totters, anddirt jumps,

“Right now we are privately-funded,”he explained. “Everything that we havedone has been out of pocket.”

However, Maggy is currently awaitingnews that could change that.

“We have applied for a regional trailsprogram grant through the state of NewYork,” he said. “We met all the criteria ...and now we are being ranked as far aspoints on the economy in the area, theneed for it, the community’s backing be-hind it, how much we are working withthe community to get it out there.”

If approved for the grant, Maggy saidthey will receive $600,000, which willhelp speed up the process to completingthe bike park.

“We’re working on all of this withoutthe grant,” he said. “Because it is still ourproject, whether we get a grant to do itor not. We’re still working every day tomake it happen.”

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization,Maggy is also looking to the communityfor more support.

“We’ve got to get the community be-hind us,” he explained. “We’ve got to get

Morrisonville Elementary School principal Bradley J. Ott, known for his reading of Dr.Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” sits at his desk with a stuffed version of TheGrinch. Ott recently announced he will retire at the end of the school year.



MORRISONVILLE —Morrisonville ElementarySchool is losing a familiarface.

Principal Bradley J. Ottwill retire at the end of theschool year this June. Theadministrator made his in-tentions known to theSaranac Central School Dis-trict Board of EducationDec. 1, but it’s a decisionthat’s bittersweet.

The decision to bring to aclose his 38-year career with

the district — 21 years ofwhich have been at the helmof Morrisonville Elementary— was prompted by the re-tirement of his wife, Do-lores, a speech therapist of30 years with ChamplainValley Educational Servicesin Plattsburgh. When shedecided to retire, it left Ottquestioning what his nextmove would be as well.

“I don’t believe, realisti-cally, that I could say to thisteam, that I would committo three to five years,” saidOtt.

PLATTSBURGH — When-ever a small business has beenin need for the past 25 years,the North Country SmallBusiness Development Cen-ter has been there.

The center, which was es-tablished in 1984, has contin-ued to strive to provide infor-mation, technical assistanceand training to help

small business ownersgrow their existing businessand prospective small busi-ness owners to start a newbusiness.

Rick Leibowitz, director ofthe North Country SBDC, saidthe organization has come farsince its inception. The centerwas created as part of theNew York State Small Busi-ness Development Center net-work, first operating out ofthe State University of NewYork at Plattsburgh’s Techni-cal Assistance Center.

“Now, [the NYSSBDC] hasexpanded to 24 centers acrossNew York, with 200 coun-selors providing free and con-fidential business advice to

small business owners andprospective ones,” said Lei-bowitz.

As a past small businessowner, Leibowitz said thatkind of resource is a valuableone.

“A lot of small businessowners have great ideas, havegreat business concepts, butthey only have strengths incertain areas. Maybe they’restrong in the operations oftheir business or maybe theyknow a lot about sales butthey might be weak in otheraspects of the business,” hesaid. “What we do is we helpcompensate for their weak-nesses. If they don’t knowabout financial management,we can provide assistancewith financial management. Ifthey don’t know how to mar-ket their business, we can pro-vide assistance with market-ing.”

Other issues such as under-standing labor laws, person-nel management and other as-pects of running a small busi-ness are ones that can alsoseem daunting to a new busi-ness owner. However, withthe SBDC’s assistance, eventhe most challenging issuescan be made less difficult,said Leibowitz.

“What I find is there’s a lotof people that just don’t un-derstand these services areavailable, and one of the rea-sons is we’re not allowed tomarket our direct-counselingservices,” said Leibowitz.“We can market the trainingseminars we do ... but I’m notallowed to put an ad in the pa-per that says “come to theSBDC for counseling.’”

The majority of the SBDC’sreferrals come from word ofmouth, said Leibowitz. Otheragencies and organizationsthe SBDC works with, such asthe Plattsburgh-North Coun-try Chamber of Commerceand private lending institu-tions constantly refer new andwould-be small businessowners to the center, whichLeibowitz said can be a greatasset to anyone looking tomake their business prof-

itable and sustainable.“There’s a lot to running a

business. There’s a lot of as-pects and there’s somethingabout getting an objectiveperspective,” said Leibowitz.“It’s amazing the things wecan point out to people, thethings they may not see ...There are certainly more busi-nesses out there that can ben-efit from our assistance.”

Though the North CountrySBDC can be proud of its an-niversary, said Leibowitz, itwouldn’t have been possiblewithout the small businessowners themselves, he noted.

One business, Big Daddy’sRestaurant in the town ofSaranac, is among those whohave sought the services ofthe SBDC. Big Daddy’s ownerKatherine Pellerin said shecredits the SBDC — in partic-ular business advisor AndrewS. Allison — for helping herunderstand the requirementsof starting her business near-ly two years ago.

“Andy was just a greathelp,” said Pellerin. “I would-n’t have been able to get it offthe ground without [theSBDC].”

However, Leibowitz saidbusiness owners like Pellerinare the ones who deserve theaccolades.

“I really have to give mostof the credit to our clients.They’re the ones who havetaken the risk,” he said.“They’re the entrepreneurswho came up with the busi-ness ideas and really madethings work. They just need-ed a little bit of support andthat’s where the SBDC camein.”

The North Country SBDCwill host an open house attheir office, located at 194 U.S.Oval in the second floor of theOneWorkSource building,Friday, Jan. 8. The event willbe held from 1-4 p.m., with aprogram beginning at 2 p.m.featuring guest speaker Dr.John C. Ettling, president ofSUNY Plattsburgh.

New book gives a look at America’s pastime here in the North Country


MORRISONVILLE —Robert M. Garrow neverwrote a book. That was, un-til he found a subject that re-ally interested him — base-ball.

“The Only Game in Town:A Century of North CountryTown-Team Baseball 1860-1960,” is Garrow’s first pub-lished work, inspired by thesport that has always been apart of Garrow’s life. Base-ball, he said, was somethinghe has known since he was ayoung boy growing up inthe Altona hamlet of Jericho.

“I remember being a kidand we would pile into ourfriend’s farm truck and goout and play these smallcommunities like WestPlattsburgh, Cadyville,Lyon Mountain, RousesPoint,” recalled Garrow.“That kind of baseball —town-team baseball — hasbeen a big part of the NorthCountry from the early1800s right on through.”

Though now 78 years old,Garrow said he’s “not oldenough” to remember town-team baseball when it reallybecame a phenomenon. Infact, the sport’s popularitystarted to grow in 1860,which is chronicled in Gar-row’s new book.

“It was a great spectatorsport and really the onlygame in town for many,many years,” said Garrow.“Sundays were usually theday for baseball. There’d be

picnics with families andbands playing. It was part ofa tradition.”

Garrow said, in additionto playing the game himself,he remembers his father andbrother also playing as hewas growing up.

“I played myself almost30 years for or against pret-ty much every community inthe North Country,” saidGarrow. “It was such a partof the lives of people even inthe smallest communities. Insome places, you’d havecrowds of people in thethousands come to watch agame.”

Town teams saw evengreater numbers followingWorld War I and World WarII, when men returned homefrom overseas where theyhad played baseball in mili-tary leagues.

“They brought it back andthat’s a big reason for a lot of[town-team baseball’s]growth,” said Garrow. “Iwanted to capture that.”

The labor that went intowriting the 214-page book,was a sporadic effort, Gar-row said. It involved manyhours of researching news-papers and speaking withlocal historians in his sparetime and even taking time tocatch up with some oldfriends — and rivals.

“I interviewed a numberof individuals I played withback in the ‘40s, ‘50s and‘60s. And, wherever I couldget pictures, I did, and in-cluded it all with my writ-ing,” said Garrow.

“It’s been fun. It’s beenlike a hobby,” Garrow con-tinued, discussing his writ-ing. “It was great just beingable to go back and recap-ture some of the games andget back in touch with theguys I played ball with orplayed against.”

Though the game’s popu-larity began to diminish inthe 1960s, where Garrow’s

book leaves off, there arestill friendly rivalriesamong small teams today, hesaid. Garrow said he plansto write a second book, fo-cusing on the sport from1960 through today.

Garrow’s book, publishedby Bloated Toe Publishing inPeru, is available throughthe publisher ’s Web site,www.bloatedtoe.com.

Robert M. Garrow, a Morrisonville resident and Jericho native,holds a copy of his first book, “The Only Game in Town.” The bookexamines local town-team baseball from 1860-1960.

resolutions stuck on the fridge yet? My resolu-tions are usually related to exploring tech areas

I’m weak in. This year, the area is Voice over IP, or VoIP.Computer networks today are quickly moving toward

convergence, which is using one physical network to carryvoice and video along with the data it always carried. Con-verged networks allow organizations to be more efficientand cut costs by not maintaining separate networks for eachservice.

Many networks, including the Internet, are based on pack-et-switching technologies. Carrying data on the networkconsists of breaking it into small pieces called packets, send-ing the packets across the network and reassembling themat the destination. Packets lost in transit are resent auto-matically as necessary. The process is far more economicalthan the older telephone circuit-switched technology.

Sending documents is simple enough, but what aboutpacketizing the human voice for network transfer? Not onlydo all the pieces have to arrive, they have to arrive quicklyand in the correct order or the result sounds like a really, re-ally bad cell phone conversation.

Nothing beats hands-on time when learning somethingnew. To learn VoIP I needed a PBX, a routing switch and someIP telephones. The PBX is basically a PC with special soft-

ware so I built one with sparePC parts and installed theopen source Asterisk pro-gram. Ebay provided a newIntel routing switch for lessthan a hundred bucks but IPphones, even used ones arenot cheap. My happy endingwas provided by the goodfolks at TwinState who gen-erously donated three brand-new Mitel IP phones. Thankyou TwinState!

With all the necessarycomponents and “LearnVoIP” stuck prominently on the fridge, I’m ready to becomea better teacher. What’s your technology resolution?

For caregivers planning on traveling with their lovedone this winter, a few precautions should be takenprior to hitting the road. Preplanning can make your

trip that much more enjoyable. Here are some tips:• Bring along spare parts for equipment, such as extra

tubes and valves for oxygen tanks, or inner tubes for wheel-chairs, insulin supplies, etc. Pack a spare pair of eyeglasses,too.

• At the same time, take care to not overpack suitcases. Ifyour suitcase feels too heavy to carry any distance, you maywant to re-pack, eliminating some items.

• Consider purchasing traveler ’s checks to carry, in addi-tion to cash.

• Plan for the weather you will be traveling in, as well asthe weather at your destination. Dress yourself and the per-son in your care in light layers.

• When traveling any distance in the winter, always havea blanket, flashlight, bottled water, and non-perishablesnacks packed in the trunk. Make sure cell phones arecharged, and don’t forget to pack an automobile-compatiblecell-phone charger.

• Make sure someone knows your itinerary and travelplans, and if any major detours or delays occur, keep theminformed.

• If you are flying and willneed special assistance priorto boarding, let the airlineknow when you make yourreservations. This will helpyou avoid unnecessary de-lays.

• Plan regular stops alongthe way, to avoid travel fa-tigue for both you and theperson in your care. Even aquick 5-10 minute stop canhelp rejuvenate you.

• Try to keep things fun.Listen to music you both willenjoy. Talk about the different sights you see on the road.Treat the experience as an adventure for the two of you!

Happy holiday traveling tips for caregivers

Last week, we discussed how to handle confusedcashiers who may try to incorrectly limit our couponusage in one way or another. The key to eliminating

most cashier confusion is to familiarize yourself with thestore’s coupon policy, which states all of the store’s rules foraccepting coupons. And while it’s true most cashiers are fa-miliar with what kinds and types of coupons the store willaccept, there are also times when a cashier may mistakenlyinform you the store cannot take your coupons.

In my coupon classes, I’ve taught more than 6,000 peopleto Super-Coupon, and so I’ve heard more than my share ofstories of cashier confusion. One common theme has to dowith interpreting the fine print on a coupon.

If you pick up any manufacturer coupon, either from thenewspaper or one printed from the Internet, chances are itcontains the wording “Limit one coupon per purchase.”Seems innocent enough, right? But these five little words canoften be the source of cashier confusion.

To understand why, consider this distinction. Each itemwe buy is a purchase. Each group of items that we take tothe checkout lane and pay for at the same time, as a group,is a transaction. So, when a coupon’s fine print states, “Lim-it one coupon per purchase,” what it effectively means is“Limit one coupon per item purchased.” (In fact, manycoupons now contain this updated wording, which makesthe meaning much clearer.)

So, if a coupon is limited to “one per purchase,” it simplymeans we can use one coupon per item purchased. If I pur-chase 15 items, I can use 15 coupons — one for each item I’mbuying (and I often do!) But cashier confusion frequentlyarises when a shopper uses several like coupons to buy sev-eral like items.

For example, if I’m buying two bottles of juice and I havetwo $1 juice coupons, occasionally a cashier may say, “I don’t

think you can use both ofthese coupons, becausethey’re one per purchase.”The easiest response? With asmile, ask, “How many bot-tles am I purchasing?” Ifyou’re purchasing two, youcan use a coupon on each. Ifyou’re purchasing three, youcould use three coupons, andso on. In this case, the cashieris confusing the “per pur-chase” wording with the“per transaction” wording.

Coupons that state, “Limitone coupon per transaction” are typically store-issuedcoupons. This wording is commonly seen on coupons like“$5 off a $50 purchase” or a store’s coupon for a deeply dis-counted item. Stores use the “one per transaction” wordingto limit your purchase in some way. In the case of couponsoffering money off your purchase, the store simply doesn’twant you to use multiples of that coupon in the same trans-action. Or, they may be offering you a coupon for a specialloss leader, like a dozen eggs for 49 cents, but they only wantto allow you to purchase one of that item per transaction.

Knowing the difference between a purchase and a trans-action can help you alleviate one of the most commonsources of cashier confusion.

When it comes to the holidays,there are many traditions wewonder how we ever started.

One I often wonder about is the hanging ofwreaths. It turns out this tradition is centuriesold, but every holiday season it renews itself.

Most wreaths are circular, and the circle haslong been symbolic of the unbroken span ofeternity, as well as the circular nature of lifeitself. Used in mid December at the time ofthe Winter Solstice, the circle symbolizes thecertainty the endless cycle of seasons willonce again bring the return of light.

The ancient Romans decorated their homeswith greens for the mid-winter feast of Sat-urnalia, while early Germanic people used wreaths of greensfor their winter celebrations, sometimes combining them withcandles to evoke images of light. Scandinavians had similarwinter customs. As Christianity spread through the RomanEmpire and across Europe, the new Christians combined well-loved older customs with Christian celebrations to form thebasis of today’s holiday traditions.

The act of hanging wreaths and greens was not always with-out controversy. In the 1500s, Protestant reformer John Calvincondemned the frivolity that accompanied Christmas and

other holiday celebrations, and his spiritualdescendants, the Puritans, did the same inEngland and in the early colonies. But, by thelate 1800s, the idea of marking the Christmasseason with feasting, celebration and decora-tion had taken hold and the tradition of wreathhanging survived.

Whatever the decorations, wreaths are theperfect symbol of the personal, spiritual, tra-ditional, contemporary and, above all, festivespirit of the holidays. If you purchase a fresh,evergreen wreath this season, give it a shaketo see if the needles fall off. A few needles arefine, but if a lot fall off the boughs are not freshand the wreath will not last as long. Once the

wreath is brought home, place the wreath away from any di-rect heat sources. A fresh wreath will last for a few weeks in-side and a few months outside!

Where do those holiday traditions come from?

Due to the traditional sales on food items for theThanksgiving holiday, November ’s Market Basketprices came in at $95.52, down from $96.79 in Oc-

tober, and down 3 percent from last November ’s cost of$98.20.

Prices were down on produce, frozen foods, drinks andmiscellaneous items in November. Prices were stable oncanned goods and breads, cereals and grains and up slightlyon meats and dairy products. For the year, produce, breads,grains and cereals and dairy items are down significantly.

Dairy prices had a slight increase overall for the first timein many months, but are still down on every item for the yearwith a 17 percent overall decline during that period.

Canned goods remained stable overall with a decrease inthe price of Green Giant peas offset by an increase in the pricesof store brand diced tomatoes and StarKist tuna fish. Cannedgoods are the only category with no price change since No-vember 2008.

Sales on store brand sugar and flour for holiday bakinghelped drive the total for breads, cereals and grains down forthe month. The price of store brand white bread is down 26percent and spaghetti 19 percent for the year, while Kellogg’sCorn Flakes are up 18 percent.

The total for the items priced in the produce department

are down from 2008, probablya reflection of the lower pricefor transportation.

Most frozen food costs re-mained stable for the monthand year, as did meats, al-though the cost of store brandfrying chickens is still run-ning 10 percent below lastyear.

Seasonal reminderThis is pear season, and the

start of the cranberry season.Sweet potatoes and wintersquash are in peak supplyand a good source of beta carotene (Vitamin A).

The rainy summer benefited the local apple harvest as qual-ity of fruit is excellent this fall.

The Market Basket Report is a bi-monthly survey of 41 food itemscommonly purchased by consumers. Three major supermarkets aresurveyed in the Plattsburgh area and the resulting report produced.The report is a community service sponsored by the Technical As-sistance Center at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.

“Karen exemplifies calmin any situation and uses herintelligence and humor toeducate and care for herfamilies,” said Stahl.

“I’m thrilled. Cyndi was avery dear friend, so to walkin her shoes is an honor,”said Case.

Brohinsky was recognizedfor using community forums“to express support for pro-choice issues,” most promi-nently by writing a twice-monthly pro-choice columnfor the Press-Republican forsix years.

“Harold’s progressiveviewpoint on a broad rangeof topics, from free speech todefense [and] reproductiverights, was always refresh-

ing,” said Stahl.“I was, of course, very

surprised,” said Brohinsky.“I feel like I should be herehonoring the people work-ing for Planned Parenthoodinstead.”

justice system at a time when he was looking to get political-ly involved in the town. There were no town council positionsavailable for him to run for during that election season, so, heset his sights on the judicial bench.

“I decided I wanted to get involved and at that time it wasthe only position available on the Democratic slate,” he said.

However, Keenan’s decision to run for town justice wasn’tan arbitrary one. Having retired six years prior as a correctionofficer at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora — acareer which spanned 26 years — and with a degree in crim-inal justice from Clinton Community College, Keenan felt hehad the background to serve the position.

“It was still always a learning experience,” said Keenan.“Each time there was a case, you got a little more insight.”

There were many difficult cases over the years, saidKeenan. The occasional murder case, which eventually movedon to a higher court, and cases involving youths were oneswhich didn’t sit well with Keenan. However, when youthswho committed crimes made efforts to change their ways, hesaid that was one of the greatest things to see during his timeon the bench.

“When you would see young fellows come back and thankyou for coming down on them and change the direction theywere heading, that was something. And, it did happen,” saidKeenan. “Unfortunately, we did have a lot of cases like thatin this town, but when you do send a few to jail and that wakesthem up. They realize that’s not what they want to do.”

“It doesn’t turn them all around, but it’s nice when you seethe ones it does and they come back to tell you that,” he added.

What Keenan will miss most about being a town justice isthe people, he said. Dozens turned out to surprise him with aretirement party at Cricket’s Restaurant Dec. 16. Those whowere there or who sent him well wishes are the ones he’ll miss,he said.

“And, of course, my court clerk,” Keenan said, referring toDonna Redden, who has served with him all but about nineof his 24 years. “She’s been a big help to me and she made myjob so much easier. “

As for his retirement, Keenan said he has no formal plansother than to spend more time with family, including his wifeof 53 years, Maryann.

“It’s just time not to be tied down for once,” he said. “Maybein a few years, I might change my mind. But, for right now,it’s just time to not be tied down.”

James P. Kirby, who was elected by the voters in Novemberto succeed Keenan, will assume the role of town justice Jan. 1.

Rather than continuing in his positionon a year-to-year basis, Ott felt it wasonly right to “sprint to the end,” he said.

Though Ott has another six months asprincipal, he said his mind is far fromwhat he’ll be doing once he leaves his of-fice for the last time.

“We’re going to approach this yearlike we have every other year, with everyintention of being better tomorrow thanwe are today,” said Ott.

The work he has done and the workdone by his staff — whom Ott said hemainly credits for helping studentsachieve success — is far too importantto stop now, he said. Most recently, Mor-risonville Elementary received recogni-tion from the Supporting SuccessfulStrategies to Achieve Improved ResultsProject, also known as S3TAIR. It wasearlier this year when the statewide ini-tiative identified Morrisonville Elemen-tary as a school that has “implementedand sustained curriculum that aids stu-dents with disabilities.” The school’s ac-colades under Ott’s watch have also in-cluded Congressional recognition by

former Rep. John M. McHugh for theschool’s active contributions to the com-munity since a flood ravaged the hamletin 1996.

“We have been recognized on the na-tional level, state level for all the workwe’ve done,” said Ott. “I’m very proudthat’s continued and that it’s engrainedin our expectations and part of our tra-dition.”

“The expectations at our school arevery high,” Ott continued. “Our inten-tion is to be the finest school of our kindin New York State. We’re not competingwith our sister school in Saranac; we’renot competing with Plattsburgh or Peru.We are competing with ourselves to bebetter tomorrow.”

While many school administrationspush for higher test scores and put theemphasis on a grade versus the overalleducational experience, Ott said what’simportant is the environment in which achild learns.

“The data will come if you’re doingthings fundamentally well and if youhave people of character — high charac-

ter,” said Ott. “And, I define character asthe implementation of the will. It’s com-bining a mental toughness with a stick-toitiveness to a vision that you share.”

“We have lots of characters here,” Ottadded, starting with a laugh, “but manyof them are high character and they givethe children of this community everyday a superior day.”

When he leaves his post at the end ofthe school year, Ott said he knowswhomever his successor is, that personwill be in good hands.

“I’m proud of the staff I found when Icame here and I’m proud of the staff I’vebeen able to recruit,” said Ott.

However, most of all, Ott said the realtreasure his replacement will find will bethe children of Morrisonville Elemen-tary.

“Every morning, I say good morningto [the students]. Every morning, I’mthere,” said Ott. “I don’t want to saygoodbye. I really don’t. June will betough ... but if I only stay because I wantto stay, then that would be selfish.”

PLATTSBURGH — Employees at KnightAutomotive traditionally draw names eachDecember from a hat and play “Secret San-ta,” exchanging gifts with each other. How-ever, this year was different.

Employee Terry Relation offered a sug-gestion to the business’ owner, Rich Knight,to forego the tradition and, instead, givetoys to The Christmas Bureau, a nonprofitorganization which gives toys, clothing andother gifts to low-income families at Christ-

mastime.“People in our area are hurting, and this

small gesture will brighten up Christmasmorning for some local families, and thatfeels good,” said Knight. “The idea comingfrom an employee, and being immediatelyembraced by everyone, is very gratifying.”

The Christmas Bureau received a shop-ping cart filled with toys and two bicyclesDec. 18.

people actively knowing what mountain bikingand biking in general can do to your generalhealth and overall health of the community.”

“We are trying to open up a whole new in-dustry in the area,” he added. “Which would bea year-round recreational use.”

Maggy hopes to have the bike park completeby the end of the winter, so people can start prac-ticing for the warmer months.

“It’ll be a lot of interconnecting bridges andnetwork trails that will be indoors with differ-ent skill levels,” Maggy explained. “Working onall these skills this winter will keep everybodyin a lot better shape and ready to ride in thespring. That’s kind of what we’re looking for.”

The Adirondack Bike Ranch will be one of thefirst mountain bike trail systems to have an in-door bike park in the country. Currently, thereis a bike park in Ohio, Maggy explained, how-ever it is privately-owned. The other park,which is not completed yet, is in Colorado, andis a city project.

“This is going to be the only indoor and out-door, having both in one spot,” Maggy said. “It’son a different scale, what we’re doing. We’re try-ing to put this together in this area, grassroots,do it on our own.”

Although West Chazy may not seem an obvi-ous choice for a mountain biking destination,Maggy feels its location has a lot of perks.

“This is my parents’ property. This is familyland that has been in the family for along time,”Maggy said. “The property itself lends itself tomountain biking perfectly, being the terrain isvaried. Uphill. Downhill. There’s not a lot of lev-el riding. It’s a true mountain bike landscape.”

Maggy added he believes it will also drawpeople from Vermont, New Hampshire, Albanyand Montreal.

“Especially in the winter, being there is no rid-ing in the North Country or the Northeast in thewinter time,” he said. “There’s enough peoplethat ride in that larger area that probably would-n’t mind traveling for a really nice indoor ter-rain park.”

Maggy is looking for any volunteers to helpbuild bridges for the indoor park.

“If we could get two or three good work days,we could have the indoor bike ranch ridable andpeople could come up here and start riding,” hesaid.

For more information about the bike ranch,visit www.adkbikeranch.com, call 605-2474, ore-mail [email protected].

You Should Hear What You’re Missing!

Have You Heard? Have You Heard? Have You Heard?

30006

Iwas a just a young chapbarely knee high to aduck when I first was ex-

tended the privilege of accom-panying a deer hunt with myfather and uncles.

True to form, my uncle Ed-die dropped a stunning 10-pointer on the second driveand we began the ritualistictrip over the river and throughthe woods to grandmother ’shouse where we hung our deerfor aging.

Along the way, as I recall, we made a quickstop for some road Pepsis and a group of looky-loos wandered over to admire the slammer rackthat peaked over the side of the pickup bed.

“Nice deer,” one of them exclaimed, thenturned and congratulated my uncle.

Ed spun and without skipping a beat said,“Don’t congratulate me, congratulate the deer— he grew ‘em.”

Interestingly, in this age of record-book-keeping, antler restrictions, selective harvestand land management depicted on popular tel-evision shows, I think some have lost sight ofone simple fact: deer are tasty.

Our forefathers hunted not for the trophyrack or bragging rights but rather to put nutri-tious, high-protein food on the table. Mostwould roll over in their grave to see MichaelWaddell let a 140 class walk by because it was-n’t a “management buck.”

I have a real problem with trophy hunters —I have no qualms saying it. I find it disheart-ening that some place more value on the trophythan the meat. In my mind, if you aren’t in itfor the latter, it gives true hunters a bad name.

It also is not always what’s best for the herdas a whole.

Shooting an animal to put the antlers on thewall is no different than cutting them off in thewoods and leaving the meat to rot.

Aged traditions of crewsbutchering their own deer anddividing the meat have, insome cases, been replacedwith dropping the deer at thetaxidermist and piling theleather-like meat in the freez-er bottom ‘til it’s gangrene.

I remember a recent conver-sation between a longtimehunting chum and one suchhunter who was boastingabout letting an 8-pointerwalk by because it wasn’t wor-

thy of the wall.“Guess you didn’t need the meat,” he said. Amen to that.Don’t get me wrong — I begrudge no one a

trophy set of antlers and have taken tremen-dous pride in dropping several sets of my own.

But, that, in my mind, should be the icing onthe cake, not what defines the hunt. And, noone should be apologetic for filling the freezer— as long as they do it legally and need or en-joy the meat.

I was reminded of this the other day whenmy cousin Danny entered a small spike horn heshot this season in a “monster rack” competi-tion at a popular local radio station.

He entered it not because it had a chance ofwinning, but because he shot it after his youngson, Hudson, spied the small buck and point-ed it out to his dad.

It was Hudson’s first time hunting and he isnow hooked for life, my cousin said.

“Besides,” Danny said, “You don’t eat theantlers ... they just help stir the stew.”

Priceless.

John Gereau is managing editor of DentonPublications and an avid outdoorsman. He canbe reached at [email protected].

My cousin, “Lieutenant Dan,” poses with a young spike he filled the freezer with this season, lendingcredence to my theory that it’s not always about the rack.

You can’t eat the antlers
