LAKE PLACID Almost 200 people made their way into the main screening room at the Palace Theatre in Lake Placid April 26 to help launch a campaign to keep small town movie cinemas in the Adirondack region alive. The Go Digital or Go Dark Cam- paign, a collaborative fundraiser be- tween the Adirondack North Country Association and the Adirondack Film So- ciety, started with a premiere of a movie trailer that will be shown in local the- aters about their need to convert from film to digital technology since movie companies will stop sending out film reels within the next six months. This is something that is directly aligned and will impact local econo- mies, ANCA Executive Director Kate Fish said. We want to raise enough money to help our small theaters trans- fer. We cannot imagine our small towns without these theaters, and we feel that this is something that these communities can get behind. We are going to make sure that every local theater can make this transition. Fish said that for the four-screen setup at the Palace Theatre in Lake Placid, it would take about $300,000 for a complete changeover of all screens. Reg s (Clark) goal is to get one of the theaters changed over as soon as they can and then work on the rest, said Naj Wikoff, who has worked with the film society on the issue. However, then you have the theaters that have only one screen and this is life or death to them. We want this to succeed for all of them. If we fail, then every single theater in the Adirondacks could close. The 10 theaters that have come togeth- er to take part in the campaign include the Palace, the Hollywood in Au Sable Forks, Cinematheque in South Glens Falls, The Glen Drive In of Queensbury, the Indian Lake Theater, the Ogdensburg Cinema and the Adirondack State The- ater in Tupper Lake, along with a trio of Strand Theaters located in Old Forge, Schroon Lake and Plattsburgh. A lot of people said that something has to be done, said John Huttlinger, president of the Adirondack Film Soci- ety. Sen. Betty Little called in the folks at ACNA to help coordinate this fundrais- ing effort for these theaters. Between showings of the trailer, peo- ple were asked to talk about their experi- ences going to the movies at their local theater. www.valleynewsadk.com Facebook & Twitter Become a “fan” on Facebook.

World musicContinued from page 1
Attendees will only pay for the programs they want to attend, with all proceeds going to support Rea-son 2 Smile.
The morning and afternoon will be filled with workshops that include mask and instru-ment making, and with classes ranging from yoga to Wulaba West African drumming.
An intermission will include food from Green Goddess Natural Market and a cash bar provided by Desperados, both of Lake Placid, and at 6:30 p.m. there will be a Kenyan market-place complete with handmade clothes, jewelery, toys and carv-ings straight from Kenya.
The classes and workshops will continue, and the day will culminate in a series of perfor-mances, starting with the all-male a capella group the UVM
Top Cats. Grimmette will also give a presentation on
Reason 2 Smile, and there will be performances by Wulaba and Soma Beats Drum and Dance,
and Saratoga Springs-based reggae band Robanic.
Ò IÕ d like to open peopleÕ s eyes up to other cultures and get them excited about them,Ó Grimmette said.
ItÕ s a lot to pack into one day, and Grimmette hopes the festival can someday become a weekend-long affair.
Ò I feel like when we hear about other countries, itÕ s typi-cally about negative things that are occurring in those countries,Ó Grimmette said. Ò If we can positively help people learn about other cultures and countries, maybe theyÕ ll start to make positive connections to these places in the world rather than it being all about the fight-ing and the violence and the things we typically hear about on the news.Ó

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Empire State Development officials this past week launched a webpage for Gov. Andrew CuomoÕ s Adirondack Challenge white-water rafting event on the I Love NY website.
The launch was made on the same day Ñ Monday, April 29 Ñ the gov-ernor officially announced that the Adirondack Challenge would be held on July 21 in the town of Indian Lake, Hamilton County. The News Enterprise was the first to report on the date and place on its website April 24 after ac-quiring a tentative agenda for the event. The governor made his remarks on Su-san Arbetter Õ s radio show, Ò The Capitol Pressroom,Ó on WBFO. He didnÕ t reveal any specifics.
The I Love NY website Ñ http://iloveny.com/Summer/Themes/ADK-Challenge.aspx Ñ calls the 2013 Adiron-dack Challenge Ò a celebration of New YorkÕ s beautiful Adirondacks region, culminating in a day of water races, food, music and more!Ó It outlines the following components:
•Invitational whitewater race•Internationally competitive flatwater race•Race-day festival with music, food, demos, displays, kids ac-
tivities and more•Lead-up calendar of fun events across the regionMore details are promised Ò soon.Ó Cuomo proposed the Adirondack Challenge, a national white-
water competition, on Jan. 9 during his annual State of the State address. However, since the speech, no details have been made publicly available, even though members of the Adirondack Challenge Steering Committee have been meeting and making arrangements.
The idea came from a multiple-day rafting trip he and some friends took on the Indian and Hudson rivers in September 2012 with guides at Beaver Brook Outfitters, based in Wevertown.
According to the tentative agenda, the Adirondack Challenge would feature a whitewater race for the governor and other elected officials and invited guests. Then there will be an interna-tionally competitive flatwater event and a festival with food and music. That would include an awards ceremony hosted by the
governor. In 2013, the event would be branded the Adirondack Challenge Kickoff Festival.
Partners would include the Adirondack Watershed Alliance and the Hudson River Professional Outfitters Association in conjunction with the Adirondack Challenge Steering Commit-tee. Marketing and promotion would be handled by I Love New York.
The Adirondack Challenge is designed to highlight the Ad-irondack Park as a tourism region. In its first year, a July festival would Ò set the stageÓ for a 2014 event in the spring, when white-
water rafting conditions are typically optimal.The I Love NY website lists the Adirondack Challenge with
other Travel Ideas around the state, including New York Beach-es, NYS Museum Week, Family Fun, Path Through History and Wine, Beer & Spirits.
The governor Õ s announcement came on the same day many Adirondack officials and tourism leaders were at the Adiron-dack Day festival in the Legislative Office Building in Albany. The event also featured a Taste of the Adirondacks segment with food and drinks from the Adirondack Park.

Valley News Editorial
If you want the type of finger-pointing and sabre-rattling that often comes with state and federal government, then look no fur-
ther than the small Essex County town of Eliza-bethtown.
Over the past year-and-a-half, a constant bat-tle between the current administration and mem-bers of the ousted old guard have exchanged a firestorm of accusations and inuendo at board meetings, through letters to the editor and other avenues.
In the most recent exchange, former town board member Ken Fenimore requested, through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIL), the end-of-year financial records of the town from cur-rent supervisor Margaret Bartley. Bartley and the town complied with the request and sent Feni-more the documents.
One critical mistake was made, however. The financial information was handed over with ac-count numbers to the townÕ s reserves listed for all to see.
The bank statements were then posted at the Elizabethtown Post Office along with remarks criticizing the town board. Fenimore later ad-mitted to posting the information. A post office employee removed the documents, only to find them re-posted the next day.
This is the most recent example of a battle between the old regime and the new blood that has been taking place since the 2011 election, when Bartley edged Merrihew, 254-238, for the position of supervisor. Merrihew was gracious in defeat, but some supporters were not, including a handful of party faithful who went so far as to blame this newspaper for the loss.
Since that time, banter has gone back and forth over several topics with each side having a cadrer of supporters. Topics have included the legality of town meetings under the Open Meetings Law; the handling of the Otis Bridge removal; a land deal between the county and Bartley along with her husband, Harry Gough; the management of the townÕ s sewer project; the budget process and the handling of the town’s finances.
There should always be room to seek answers from political officials and bring “sunlight” to government proceedings. We, the people, have the right to know what our elected officials are doing with our tax dollars and how they are leading our towns, counties, states and country.
Disagreement can occur, as people have differ-ing opinions, leadership styles, backgrounds and trains of thought. When disputes arise, leaders should then come together and solve the prob-lems with debate and compromise, one not being effective without the other.
Look no further than the recently signed contract between the Essex County employees
union, CSEA, and the county, where both sides openly admitted that they did not get everything they wanted, but came to a compromise with the best interest of all involved.
In this case, however, the battle lines that have been drawn have seldom been solely about only the issues. The tone of letters and statements from both camps has increasingly turned per-sonal, sarcastic and even a little hateful toward one another. The monthly call-and-response that is playing out on local editorial pages has devolved into a Ò are too, are not,Ó name-calling, playground war of words. While some of the participants in this dance have maintained the high road, others exited that path and the time has come for this senseless squabble to end.
What is playing out is the type of politics that we find unacceptable in Washington and in Al-bany, with people unwilling to lose themselves in the greater good and instead placing more emphasis on the letter that follows their last names. People engaged in government need to be less concerned with party politics and more concerned with the politics of the people. ThatÕ s when work gets done, when people work to-gether and set aside their personal agenda for the common good. That doesnÕ t happen under a Hatfield vs. McCoy clash for power.
Local politics is for many of our youth their first experience with public service and presents them with their first impression on how to con-duct ones self in public. ItÕ s important to learn how to express your views and how to cooper-ate with those of different views. Public servants must learn to work together for the good of the people they serve. Petty and vindictive battles like Elizabethtown is experiencing only serve to create further discord within the community rather than pride in the performance of the com-munity uniting despite differences.
At the same time, there is one thing we will never do and that is stifle the debate by refusing to publish letters from Mrs. Bartley or Mr. Feni-more, as some have suggested.
Letters to the editor are one of the few places where people can have an open conversation on the issues of the day and not hide behind a screenname or anonymous post. Whether you agree or disagree with the opinion, people who write letters are more likely to do one thing than those who hide behind anonymity Ñ think be-fore pressing send.
WeÕ d just like to see the time wasted on these personal vendettas spent instead on the greater good of the people of Elizabethtown.
Ñ Denton Editorial Board
Not the time for petty politicsIt almost boggles the
mind how quickly our elected officials can
move when properly moti-vated and when, in their col-lective judgment, know they must act. Last weekend those stars aligned over the dis-graceful display of the fur-loughed Air Traffic Control-lers by the Federal Aviation Administration. The automat-ic budget cuts related to the sequester that forced the FAA to furlough air traffic control-lers, was quickly resolved.
The FAA was trying to cope with $637 million worth of cuts. They chose to close 149 air-traffic control towers across the U.S. which delayed thousands of flights a day. So the House passed a measure to stop the fur-loughs and sent it to on to President Obama for his quick signature. The Senate agreed to give the Department of Transportation the ability to transfer $250 million to the FAA. So much for having their hands tied.
Sequester was the cowardÕ s way out for all branches of the federal government. Neither Congress nor the President did their job to solve the financial problems facing the na-tion. Each blames the other for being unwill-ing to step forward with solutions to solve these difficult problems. Clearly the adminis-tration has the ability to either make the pub-lic feel the pain of the sequester cuts or act wisely to use government funds to minimize the hardship of sequester on U.S. citizens.
Now we hear, according to recent reports, House and Senate leadership from both par-ties are engaged in discussions to exempt lawmakers and congressional staff from en-rolling in the health care exchanges as part of the Affordable Healthcare Act, now known as ObamaCare. U.S. Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) responded to these developments, demand-ing that lawmakers be beholden to the same laws they have imposed on the American people. He also expressed disappointment that leadership staff and committee staff ex-empted themselves from the law when it was being drafted.
I wonder how much longer the American public and the national media can continue to allow our elected officials to govern in this manner? These recent actions clearly point to the degree and extent of the breakdown
in our government. When forced, theyÕ ll do no more than the limited amount re-quired to maintain their gov-erning status. We should ex-pect more.
IÕ ve written about it before and itÕ s time to encourage it once again: We must demand term limits on the individuals we elect to represent us. Last week, U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ) introduced an amend-ment to the U.S. Constitution which would limit the num-ber of terms that a member of
Congress may serve to three in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate. Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) has introduced the same congressional term limits in the U.S. Senate.
Term limits for members of Congress have been spotlighted in recent weeks as former Senator and Vice Presidential nominee Joe Lieberman announced that after reflection on his 24 years in office he now supports term limits. LiebermanÕ s statement was followed by a poll conducted by the Gallup Organi-zation released last week showing that the American people would vote for congressio-nal term limits by a 75-21 margin.
Members of Congress are hearing from their constituents that they want the tough issues resolved rather than this repeated kicking of the can down the road approach. The public realizes that a constitutional amendment limiting terms for members of Congress may be the only way to make our political system work again. ItÕ s time to put our foot down and itÕ s time to put citizens back in charge. It is time to finally pass con-gressional term limits.
This wonÕ t be an easy battle despite the strong public sentiment. To become part of the U.S. Constitution, the amendment re-quires a two-thirds vote in each house of Congress and ratification by three quarters or 38 out of 50 states. ItÕ s time to speak up and speak out. Term limits are long past due, but their time has now come if we want a government for the people and not the poli-ticians who repeatedly place their interests above ours.

Most rivers and streams are still run-
ning high, with water-connected by natural rhythms.
Although recent weather patterns been a bit less cooperative than expected based on re-cent years, it appears the spring is fi nally march-ing on.
I must admit that I have gotten used to en-joying the accelerated arrival of spring, which seems to have come along earlier every year. I guess I was spoiled last year, when the ponds were free of ice in time for the opening of trout season, on April 1.
In most years, the trout season doesnÕ t even begin to heat up until the middle of May, usually on or about the Moth-ers Day weekend; but this year, it seems to be adhering to the norm.
Although a majority of the regionÕ s ponds have been ice free for nearly two weeks, water temperatures are still lin-gering in the 40’s, and the fi shing has been rather slow.
In this regard, the date on the calendar is never as reliable as the indications provided by the natural calendar.
What is likely the most obvious sign of good fi shing, is evidence of blood trickling from behind an angler Õ s ear, a sure indication that the black fl ies have sprouted teeth.
And there are plenty others signs, ranging from ferns still in the fi ddlehead stage to witchhobble bushes beginning to sprout leaves that are about the size of a mouseÕ s ears.
Most of these observations are based more on experience or coincidence rather than true science, and yet they tend to hold water.
Blackfl ies do not appear until water temperatures begin to warm, and when water temperatures are conducive to hatching out blackfl ies, they are usually producing a wide assortment of other fl y hatches. And most anglers under-stand that trout like to eat fl ies.
As the local waters continue to warm, and the fi sh be-come more active, so too have the hatchery trucks. Al-though trout stocking has already begun, there are still many truckloads yet to be deposited in the local waters.
Although snowmelt and heavy rains have already swol-len the rivers and streams several times, the local waters are now very manageable for wading, and paddling.
After a few days with air temperatures in the 70Õ s, the rivers will likely turn on and weÕ ll begin to see some of the fi rst hatches of the season.
The spring season is always a good time to be on the wa-ter, whether in a canoe, a boat or in a pair of waders. Hav-ing a fi shing rod in hand is simply a bonus, and for many a camera or a pair of binoculars serves the same purpose as long as it gets us out in the natural environment.
Nature is the Wonder DrugThere are many reasons to explain why humans always
feel better in the spring. Much of it involves the lengthen-ing hours of daylight, and the benefi ts of increasing sun-light, which provides Vitamin D.
The weather becomes warmer, the days are longer and the rebirth of the earth is evident across the entire land-scape. But it isnÕ t just the physical aspects of the season that have people feeling better.
In many cases, it is the natural world which is likewise coming out of hibernation, and as we view the daily ar-rival of birds, bugs, and animals, the greening of the grass and the budding of the surrounding forests, it affects our psyche.
Simply put, we feel better both physically and mentally. Increasingly, there is growing scientifi c evidence that being exposed to and in contact with the natural environment makes us smarter, happier and healthier, and itÕ s never been more evident than in the spring.
Scientists and physicians are slowly beginning to rec-
ognize and understand the essential impacts of nature on human health. They have come to understand that the out-doors is Ô big medicine,Õ which is not really recent news to many of the worldÕ s aboriginal peoples.
However, it is breaking news among many among the so called civilized societies. For too many years, humans have taken nature for granted, and have failed to appreciate the value of our natural relationship with the world surround-ing our communities.
We often fail to realize that we are still directly depen-dent upon the natural environment, as has been graphical-ly illustrated by the numerous catastrophic weather events, including those that have devastated the North Country in recent years.
We cannot learn to value humanity without attaching a value to nature, for we are inextricably linked. We learn to appreciate nature only if we understand the value of our relationship with it.
And therein lies the collective problem, which has be-come so evident in recent years. As a society, we have come to believe that we are no longer directly dependent on the natural world.
In many cases, we have allowed ourselves to become so consumed by the virtual world, that we are no longer con-nected to the wild side of the earth.
Although our current generation is surely the most con-nected in the history of mankind, they are also the most disconnected generation in terms of realizing the benefi ts of the natural world.
Richard Louv, author of the bestseller, Last Child in the Woods, as well as The Nature Principal, has offered up sev-en basic concepts to help individuals reshape their lives by tapping into the restorative powers of nature.
In the process of restoring natural connections people can increase mental acuity and creativity, promote health and wellness, build smarter and more sustainable business-es, communities and economies, and ultimately strengthen human bonds.
IÕ ve witnessed this process happening in many Adiron-dack communities, where many are fortunate to still have a feel the natural rhythms of life.
However, it is important that a similar commitment is made to ensure that future generations also understand and learn to value rhythms of a similar tune. Otherwise, there goes the neighborhood. It is afterall, a key component of our heredity.

WanderlustAll my life I have loved the ad-
venture of traveling. I have tasted the salty air off Nova
ScotiaÕ s coast, enjoyed the agricultural perfume in Iowa, and watched the sun set off the coast of British Columbia from Vancouver Island. IÕ ve been stabbed by cactus in Texas, hunted wild pheasants on the prairie lands in South Dakota, west of the Missouri River of course. I was bow hunting Elk in Colorado on September 11th when our country changed and have fi shed the limestone streams of Pennsyl-vania. Growing up near the Great Lakes, I had the opportunity to fi sh for walleyes in Lake Erie, and kings in Lake Ontario. I hope each and every one of you have a chance to see Lady LibertyÕ s beauty. We live in a beautiful country and con-tinent.
My business of grazing and wildlife consulting, along with this writing gig, has given me the opportunity to travel some more. The past few days I went south to the Schoharie River Valley. The drive followed the Schoha-rie River from the Mohawk River upstream to Lexington NY. The fl ooding damage that happened to that beautiful valley is unbelievable. There must be 100 miles or more of stream bank damage. There are hundreds of acres of dismembered trees, up-rooted trees and piles of steel, plastic and other debris pulled from the river during cleanup. The Schoharie River is running a bloody chocolate color due to the red clays in the valley washed from the eroding banks.
Despite all the damage, life goes on. I saw a John Deere pulling a corn planter, cutting a slot into the fl ood plain gravel soils and planting seed for the next generation of grain or silage corn. The valley is home to some beau-tiful farms, both dairy and vegetable operations.
My initial goal of the trip was to work with two farms on grazing manage-ment plans; one a 65 head Jersey dairy farm, and the other a 50 head Angus beef operation; both hillside farms. My second goal was to see the West Kill in Lexington.
On my drive down I noticed numerous large hillside fi elds, laid out in strips. Strip cropping is alternating strips of an annual crop planted parallel to a perennial crop such as hay. The strips are laid out on the contour of the hillside. The goal is to reduce erosion by having a sod crop planted that stops the erosion action of the water running off the hillside. The steeper the fi eld, the narrower the strip needs to be. Most of our fi elds in the Champlain Valley are fairly fl at so there is little strip cropping done here, although I have laid out strips in Essex County and on the hillside farms of Washington County.
Cruising south on routes 30, then 145, and numerous others, I fi nally got to Prattsville and then to Lexington. The West Kill empties into the Schoharie River at Lexington. These are the home waters of Art Flick, the man who wrote the book, Streamside Guide.
In the fl y fi shing world, Art Flick is the Mickey Mantle with a fl y rod, the best in his fi eld. To fl y fi shing stream walkers, he is the guru of the Red Quill; a fl y tied that imitates Ephemerella Subvaria; a mayfl y.
Yes, were back on fl y fi shing again. Did we ever leave? The hatch of the mayfl y is what a dry fl y fi sherman thrives on. Being on a river when there is a hatch coming off and fi sh are rising is a Van Gogh in my world! I got to visit and feel one of the places you read about and it was good. I saw the junction where the two rivers mate, and become one. I envisioned Art Flick with his black rimmed glasses and Joe Friday style brush cut casting a dry fl y to one of the pools in the upper Schoharie. I breathed the air of the Catskills.
The visit was also a little disappointing. The waters were turbid, stream banks a mess and the villages along the river in many instances were trying to recover. The illusional vision I had in my head about the place was not in tune with the real world. I was happy though; I accepted reality and checked off another bucket list item on my adventure list.
The second day of the trip took me to the second farm; an Angus beef operation. After my visit with the farmer I was homeward bound, or so I thought. The pull of the Battenkill was too much to resist, so off I drove over Route 29 eastward, through Saratoga, then Greenwich to Cambridge and fi -nally to Hickory Hill Road. Years ago I worked with the landowner doing woodcock and grouse habitat improvement projects. I planted hundreds of wildlife trees and worked in clear cuts done for early successional habitat. The area had grown up in the last 25 years. It wasnÕ t until I saw a familiar name posted on the side of the cabin that I knew I was in the right spot. The property bordered the Battenkill, just a few miles from the Vermont border. I fi shed a catch and release area for the last few warm hours of light left in the day. The water was fast and cold; 42 degrees, no hatches yet and I had miles to go. The drive home took me through Arlington, then north to Manches-ter and yes along another trout stream; the Mettawee, which runs through Vermont and into New York at Granville, slowly working its way to White-hall and fi nally merging with Lake Champlain. I made it home that night; two long days on the road, going from sun up to sundown, self-infl icted of course, with 497.3 miles on the odometer. A marathon trip taking me to farmland, forests and famous trout streams.
Out of this adventure I met two great farmers, have two grazing jobs, made a visit to Art Flick country, visited a total of four famous trout streams and have an article. I took the time to enjoy my wanderlust life, and you should too! The radio stations were playing George Jones songs; a tribute to his life, which ended that very day I lived mine to the fullest. R.I.P. George!

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Writing an objective review of Dan BerggrenÕ s new CD Ñ Ò Tongues in TreesÓ Ñ is impossible for me. IÕ m too close to the situation.
You see, Dan was my radio professor at SUNY Fredonia from 1988 to 1991. Being Adirondack Mountain men, so to speak Ñ DanÕ s from Minerva and IÕ m from Tupper Lake Ñ we hit it off. He lent me a banjo for a year and taught me how to play. I de-livered his mail while working for the Fredonia Post Office; yes, he and his Newton Street Irregulars did actually live on the odd side of the street. And his music Ñ particularly the song Ò Moun-tain AirÓ Ñ made me homesick and taught me to appreciate my hometown more than I had when I left for college. He inspired me to move back to the Adirondacks.
Since graduation, Dan and I have kept in touch, especially now that heÕ s retired and lives in Ballston Spa. WeÕ ve worked profes-sionally, even performing together at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts for an Adirondack Museum program; he played mu-sic and I read stories from my Ò Adirondack AtticÓ book series. DanÕ s instrumental Ò Clearing Out the Monkey ThoughtsÓ from his Ò North River, North WoodsÓ album is the theme song for my Ò Adirondack AtticÓ show on North Country Public Radio.
So IÕ m too close to the situation to be objective about Ò Tongues in Trees,Ó especially since he mentioned me by name in his liner notes on the CDÕ s packaging. He wrote the third track on the CD Ñ Ò The AtticÓ Ñ for our LPCA performance and debuted it there in Lake Placid in 2008. Then it was titled, Ò Adirondack At-tic.Ó By taking out the word Ò Adirondack,Ó he made it more uni-versal, and it certainly works. No surprise, itÕ s my favorite song out of the 14 on the CD. You can hear DanÕ s original version on his website as Bits & Pieces 01: http://www.berggrenfolk.com/dbergmusic/Adirondack%20Attic.mp3.
My second favorite track on the CD is Ò Birch Are Soprano.Ó It takes me back to the time I worked for the Adirondack Park Agency Visitor Interpretive Centers at Paul Smiths and New-comb. I was the PR guy. It was the best place to work, surround-ed by woods and water, with live animals, not the ones you see locked up in zoos or stuffed in natural history museums. While in Paul Smiths, I could literally see those Ò Geese Over St. Re-gis,Ó an instrumental from DanÕ s 1989 Ò Mountain AirÓ CD. So this poem, Ò Birch Are Soprano,Ó set to a waltz, took me back to the forest, a place I find peace in this crazy world. Here’s the first stanza:
Birch are soprano Balsam are alto Cedar sing tenor With white pine on bassAnyone who receives DanÕ s email newsletters, many times in-
cluding poetry, would appreciate this song.Ò Birch Are SopranoÓ is just one instance that takes me back to
the radio production classroom with Dan. He encouraged us to walk around and listen, tuning our senses to sound rather than sight.
Ò Back in Audio 1, when I would invite students to take a lis-tening walk, for years I made the comment about, Ô The wind makes no sound,Õ Ó Dan said in a phone interview. Ò And then asked, after some thought, people in the classroom for people to agree or disagree with that. And eventually we came to the realization that the wind itself doesnÕ t make a sound; it vibrates other things. And that you can tell the difference between the wind vibrating the needles in a white pine versus vibrating the leaves in a maple.Ó
One summer Dan was listening to the wind blowing through the trees on the side of a mountain and decided to put those ob-servations down on paper in a poem. That poem became Ò Birch Are Sopranos,Ó and it was placed in a drawer until this past win-ter when he was working on the Ò Tongues in TreesÓ album.
Ò I just happened to come upon that poem and decided, Ô You know, I ought to just put a tune to it, even though itÕ s short,Õ Ó he said, Ò which I did the same day and recorded it the same day.Ó
Another track on the album that takes me back to the class-room is Ò Where is My Father,Ó a soundpoem of memories and voices Ñ including recordings of his parents, Dorothy and Wal-ter Berggren, and the sound of the wind blowing through the pine trees his mother planted with her father, Harry Wilson, on the homestead in Olmstedville in the 1920s.
My question was, Ò What are you trying to say with this sound-poem?Ó
Ò Life and death are different sides of the same coin,Ó Dan said. Ò There is no life without death, and there is no death without life. So altogether, itÕ s one big mystery that weÕ re all trying to make our way through and enjoy as much as we can and help other people as much as we can. So when a person goes out of your life, you know the physicality of it ... And you donÕ t have to believe in different religious things, heaven or hell or an afterlife or not. Whether you believe that or not, itÕ s the stories that some-one tells and the stories that you tell about them that keeps that person alive in your mind and your memory.Ó
The title, Ò Tongues in Trees,Ó comes from the comedy Ò As You Like It,Ó by William Shakespeare:
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything.I was looking for something critical when writing this review,
as I rationalized that a negative thought or two could some-how balance my subjectivity. Then I thought, what if Dan never speaks to me again?
If I really wanted to, I could say thereÕ s no catchy, upbeat tune on this CD, no pop tune that kept me humming or singing all day long like a hit single from The Jackson 5 or The Monkees. But does every CD really need Michael Jackson or Davy Jones? Definitely not.
On the upside, Ò The AtticÓ has a catchy refrain, as does the song Ò Proud of YouÓ :
IÕ m proud of you So proud of you I may be late in saying it but itÕ s trueIÕ m proud of you Always been proud of you And itÕ s time I said it out loud, IÕ m proudÒ Proud of YouÓ will probably make you cry a little, whether
youÕ re thinking of your children, your parents, your students, or someone close in your life. Dan dedicated this song to his daugh-ter and son-in-law, Jenny and Jim, and all his former students. My wife cried when thinking of her mother, wishing she would hear that more often.
Ò Ô Proud of YouÕ is a parent saying that he or she is proud of a child but also as a teacher who has many connections to former students,Ó Dan said. Ò I feel that I donÕ t have the opportunity that often to say Ô IÕ m proud of youÕ whether someone has gone on to broadcasting or not.Ó
Over the past 40 years, DanÕ s had plenty of stories to tell. Since he wrote his first song while stationed in Germany in the early 1970s until today, heÕ s been sharing his life with us through mu-sic, the lives of people who have inspired him, and his adven-tures and experiences. Ò Tongues in TreesÓ is simply a collection
of DanÕ s music from the latest chapter in his life.
Ò For me, songs pop up here and there,Ó Dan said. Ò And so they represent different parts of my life and different stages of my life. IÕ m not always serious, and IÕ m not always trying to be funny.Ó
Dan has recorded the chapters of his life on 15 CDs since 1985. His latest will be released at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 2 at the Cran-dall Public Library in Glens Falls. It will be followed by two more local release concerts:
•Saranac Lake, Friday, May 3, BluSeed Studios, 7:30 p.m.;
•and Long Lake, Saturday, May 4, Long Lake Library, 7 p.m.
I could go on and on, but that would take time away from you listening to Ò Tongues in Trees.Ó Learn more about this CD online at http://berggrenfolk.com.
By the way, Dan, it may hurt my objectivity here, but IÕ m proud of you, too. Looking for-ward to CD No. 16.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The proposal for Essex County to go dry an hour earlier passed through the Ways and Means Com-mittee April 29.
The resolution in support of changing the hours in which an establishment can sell al-cohol from 4 a.m. to 3 a.m. passed through the committee, 13-2, making its way to a weighted full board vote May 6.
Newcomb Supervisor George Canon and
Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell were the dissenting votes, while Ed Hatch (Wills-boro), Deb Malaney (Ticonderoga) and Ran-dy Preston (Wilmington) were not in atten-dance.
Ò My local establishment is not in favor of this so I am not going to support it,Ó Canon said.
Ò Warren County has not made up its mind and with Schroon being so close to Warren County, I think that we should be of the same mind,Ó Marnell said.
Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said that the other surrounding counties all
had different hours to end alcohol sales.Ò I do not think that we need to wait for
Warren County to do anything because they may not do anything,Ó Morrow said. Ò Frank-lin County is 3 a.m. Clinton County is 2 a.m. I would like to see this continue at 3 a.m.Ó
Jay Supervisor and board Chairman Ran-dy Douglas said he supported the change, but wanted to look into special exemptions.
Ò My two local establishments have no problem with a one hour change,Ó Douglas said. Ò I would like to see something done about a special event. We have our softball tournament and other events but right now I
think you can only get an exemption for New Year Õ s.Ó
Ò I do agree that special events would be a good exception,Ó Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said.
Mac MacDevitt of the Prevention Team said that after the resolution is passed, it would still be reviewed by the New York State Alcohol Review Board, who would then hold a public hearing locally.
Ò They will hold the hearing in Essex County,Ó he said.
WARRENSBURG Ñ Fresh, naturally-grown vegetables, meat, eggs and yogurt Ñ all produced locally in the Adiron-dacks Ñ will be available this summer in Warrensburg as well as North Creek and Glens Falls due to a new Farm Share pro-gram.
Warrensburg Beautification has partnered with Juniper Hill Farm of Wadhams in Essex County to bring the highest qual-ity produce to Warren County Ñ non-GMO and pesticide free, Farm Share Coordinator Teresa Whalen said this week.
Ò Invest in your local economy, help small organic growers, and have convenient access to affordable, nutrient rich foods for your family and friends,Ó she said. Whalen is a founder of Warrensburg Beautification.
Distribution points in Warren County include Monday-af-ternoon deliveries to Warrensburg Senior Center on Main St., to the North Creek Farmers Market at the train depot on Thurs-day afternoons, and to the Open Door Kitchen at 47 Lawrence St. in Glens Falls on Tuesdays. In Essex County, distribution points include the weekly Farmers Market in Schroon Lake on Monday mornings in the town hall parking lot.
The Farm Share program is a flexible edition of Community Supported Agriculture. Last year Juniper Hill Ñ in conjunc-tion with Warrensburgh Beautification and other organiza-tions Ñ established a series of workplace outlets in a wide region spanning from Saranac Lake to Saratoga Springs. This year, they are expanding the program new distribution points to accommodate the public.
The shares, or bags of produce Ñ fully customizable Ñ will be distributed weekly during the summer. Besides produce,
the program is offering farm fresh eggs, yogurt, cheeses, meats, poultry and field-grown flowers. Flexible payment plans are available, and clients may pre-order online from the weekly offerings, or let the farm choose from their plentiful selection. All fruits and vegetables are picked within 24 hours prior to delivery.
Payment early in the season Ñ prior to harvestÑ helps farmers when they need it most, so savings are passed on to consumers, Whalen said.
Also, CSA members, as investors, have first selection if quantities are limited, and can tailor their share to suit their needs.
To sign up, see: www.JuniperHillFarmCSA.com. The sea-son begins in June for 20 weeks. A seven-week option, and half-shares are also available. For details, contact Whalen at: [email protected] or 466-5497.

Ò I grew up on Main Street right across from the Hol-lywood,Ó said Jay Town Su-pervisor and Essex County Board Chairman Randy Douglas. Ò There are a lot of first dates and a lot of memories that come when you think about these local theaters. People also sur-round their evening going to the movies with dinner and other events that help out all of the local businesses that surround that theater.Ó
Ò (The people in) my cabin on Silver Lake won a trip to come to Lake Placid and see Star Wars,Ó said Aaron Woolf, who co-created the trailer for the campaign. Ò Going to the theater really is a community experience. Seeing a film is collective and we want the next gener-ation in our North Country towns and villages to have that experience.Ó
The trailer will play in the 10 theaters that are part of the campaign, said ANCA Communications Director Melissa Hart, who added that there will be a number of ways people can donate to the cause.
Ò There will be pledge cards at the theaters, enve-lopes to mail in pledges and there will also be bar codes that can be scanned by smart phones to make donations through,Ó Hart said.
Fish added that people can either donate to a spe-cific theater or to the over-all campaign, which is also seeking corporate partners and donors along with help from state agencies.
Ò Empire State Develop-ment is looking to create some bridge loans for the
theaters,Ó she said.For more information on
the Go Digital or Go Dark campaign, visit the website
adirondack.org/GoDigital, where you can also see the trailer created for the local theaters.

Make-A-Wish gives a Plattsburgh teen tools for a dreamTeen with cystic fi brosis receives photography equipmentBy Katherine [email protected]
PLATTSBURGH Ñ A local teen received the ultimate set of equipment to prepare him for his dream job as a photographer through the Make-A-Wish foundation.
Andrew WaldronÕ s wish for photography gear was granted on World Wish Day April 29. Make-A-Wish of Northeast New York gave Andrew, 18, professional-quality camera equipment for use in college next fall, where he will be studying photo-journalism.
Ò He knew we were going to get him a camera but I donÕ t think he knew we would be getting him all the equipment a professional would have,Ó said Tim Riley, manager of communications for Make-A-Wish of Northeast New York.
Waldron said he was really excited after opening multiple boxes at a special Ò gift givingÓ ceremony at Melissa Penfi eld Park.
Waldron received a Nikon camera, books, mul-tiple lenses and fl ashes to go with his new camera, a new camera bag and an opportunity to go with a local newspaper photographer for the day and see how they do their job.
Ò He had actually considered several wishes be-fore choosing the photography gear,Ó Riley said.
The volunteer Ò Wish GiversÓ Renee Elsinger, Lisa LaPort and Kayla LaPort helped him pick between a trip to Japan or an open-ended fl ight to anywhere. “Wish Givers” work with kids and teenagers to fi nd a heartfelt wish that will give the most joy for the recipient.
Riley said Waldron worked with the wish giv-ers and came to the conclusion that what he really wanted was photography equipment.
Ò This is a creative wish that will help you get cre-ative,Ó said Riley.
Waldron became involved with the program last year after he was diagnosed with cystic fi brosis, a genetic disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other ar-eas of the body.
Ò I guess IÕ ve had it since birth but I was diag-nosed three years ago,Ó said Waldron. Ò I had gotten an infection and started throwing up a lot of mucus
and went to the doctors and thatÕ s when they told me.Ó
Ò It makes me a bit winded sometimes and I have to take a couple medications,Ó said Waldron.
Waldron is a senior at Plattsburgh High School and though heÕ s not sure where he wants to study photojournalism he is going to be prepared. Wal-dron said for anyone out there who is diagnosed with the disease they should Ò expect a lot of treat-ments but in the end itÕ s worth it because youÕ ll feel better.Ó
Many younger children choose a wish like going to Disney Land. Others wish to meet a celebrity or professional athlete and last year a young girl was sent to the Olympics in London. Elsinger said the
Northeast chapter has also helped welcome wishers from other parts of the country who wanted to see snow for the fi rst time.
Riley said AndrewÕ s choice was unique and espe-cially fun for him to shop for.
Ò I was journalist and a photographer in the Ohio years ago so it was great to do the shopping here to set Andrew up for his potential career,Ó said Riley.
Riley said the Northeast chapter of Make-A-Wish grants at least 100 wishes during the year and covers from the outskirts of the Catskills to the Canadian Border.
Ò We grant 100 wishes but worldwide we can say a wish is granted every 40 minutes and at anytime there is someone living their wish either on a trip or
meeting a celebrity they chose,Ó said Riley. World Wish Day is celebrated each year in April,
marking the anniversary more than 30 years in the making: in 1980, a 7-year-old boy received his heart-felt wish to be a police offi cer for a day. That one wish inspired the founding of Make-A-Wish and launched the wish granting movement that circles the globe today.
Riley said he has been in contact with the mother of the very fi rst wish child and to this day she and her family remember the occasion with the same ex-citement they experienced 30 years ago.
For more information about Make-A-Wish con-tact Riley at 782-HOPE.

Thankful for supportTo the Valley News:The 2012-13 Plattsburgh Youth Hockey 16U Boys Midget team was
formed with the simple purpose of giving local hockey players the op-portunity to play some additional games around their respective high school schedules. The team was made up of players from PHS/Seton, Lake Placid, Beekmantown, Saranac/Peru, and Saranac Lake high schools, who came together and developed a respectful and determined team spirit which resulted in a second place finish in the NYS Tier II Championships, earning them a trip to the USA Hockey 16U Tier II National Championships in Troy, Michigan, where they represented the North Country very well.
The team could not have achieved their successes without the support of many local individuals, organizations, and businesses whose gener-ous contributions made the season and the trip to the National Champi-onship possible. The players, coaches, and parents would like to extend a sincere Ò Thank YouÓ to the following: the PYH Board of Directors, Lake Placid Youth Hockey, Fountain Brothers American Legion Post 1619, Post 1619 Sons of the Legion, Post 1619 Auxiliary Unit, American Legion Riders, Plattsburgh Police Local 812, NYSCOPBA Adirondack, Cadyville Gulf DEP, GirouxÕ s Poultry Farm, Mold-Rite Plastics, Lake Placid Pub & Brewery, Plattsburgh Lodge of Elks #621, Rick Lamberton (Jreck Subs), Stephen Tahy (Tahy Real Estate), Rick Young (Young Lyon Floor Covering), Ameri-Can North Sports Center, ORDA, Reg & Barba-ra Clark, the Craig Ormsby family, Billy Joe & Pearl Leopard, Jenn Lord, Irene & Mike Rock, Billy Jette, Carl McClusker, Tom Carlsen, Norma Goff, and George Caswell & Patty Plumadore.

Respect the flag during paradesTo the Valley News:The great American tradition of parades is almost upon us again.
There is another great American tradition, that of respect for that which deserves it. Who can deny the stirring of the breast on hearing the march-
ing band or seeing the flying of the American Flag of the Color Guard smartly marching down the street leading the parade.
What is disheartening though, is not to see respect for the flag that our veterans have fought and died for. Twenty years ago, it would be unheard of to see the flag passing and not rise to your feet and remove your hat in salute to this symbol of liberty. Today, sitting and wearlng of headgear is all too commonplace on the parade routes.
Please, go, enjoy the parade, but for all veterans both alive and de-ceased, and all that they fought and died for, remove your hat, stand quietly with your hand over your heart and show how much we ap-preciate our freedom and the symbol of that freedom in our flag - Old Glory. Long may she wave and long may we respect her and fight for her freedom.

Interpretation of amendmentTo the Valley News: Ò A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free
state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be in-fringed.Ó - Second Amendment, U.S. Constitution
In his letter to the editor on April 6 Don Mauer maintains that Ò the overarching purposeÓ of the Second Amendment was to guarantee that Ò the people would have the right to secure their freedom from a tyrannical government.Ó He goes on to argue that because weapons technology was the same on both sides of the revolutionary war--the colonists who formed militias and the British soldiers both had single shot, muzzle loading weapons--that today there must be parity be-tween what weapons citizens can physically Ò keep and bearÓ and what the armed forces of a tyrannical government can physically Ò keep and bear.Ó This parity argument implies that citizens have the right to bear shoulder-launched cruise missiles capable of downing airplanes, hand-held grenade launchers, the xm25, machine guns, mines, flamethrowers, etc. Using words close to, but significantly different from those in the Second Amendment, Mr. Mauer does imbed citizensÕ gun rights within a Ò well trainedÓ militia. (The 2nd Amendment, however, refers to a Ò well regulated militia,Ó which, to the courts, means government regulated) Mr. Mauer does not, however, refer to state militias (today known as the National Guard) because they would presumably be the armed forces
of a allegedly tyrannical government. Rather, his letter suggests he has in mind well-trained private militias which would fight the National Guard. If my interpretation of Mr. MauerÕ s letter is correct, I respectfully disagree.
Of course individuals and organizations certainly have a First Amend-ment right to express their opinions about the meaning of the Constitu-tion. But it is the judiciary, and above all, the U.S. Supreme Court that has the legal authority to interpret the meaning of the Ò maddeningly ambiguousÓ Second Amendment.
The Supreme Court has in fact rendered a decision that contradicts Mr. MauerÕ s claims. In 2008, in D.C. v. Heller, the Court interpreted the Ò keep and bear armsÓ verbs of the Second Amendment. The central question in the case was whether individual citizens have a right Ò to bear arms in defense of themselves and the stateÓ independent of service in a state militia. Yes, the Court concluded, there is. But this individual right is subject to limitations.
Justice ScaliaÕ s Heller opinion did indicate in dicta (not part of the le-gal ruling in the case) some of the limitations in clear contradiction of Mr. MauerÕ s argument in favor of weapons-parity between Ò the peopleÓ and the armed forces. The CourtÕ s reasoning ran as follows: At the time the Second Amendment was adopted the weapons it protected were in common use for both home and the militia. As Mr. Mauer correctly states, they were the same--single shot, muzzle loading weapons. That was then but not now. Weapons not protected by the Second Amend-ment, Justice Scalia wrote, were those not in common use at the time. In todaysÕ world, Justice Scalia stated, sophisticated weapons required for an effective militia are Ò highly unusual in society at large.Ó Because sophisticated military weapons are highly unusual--not in common pri-vate use--there is no Second Amendment right to keep and bear them. Underscoring this point, Justice Scalia point to the National Firearms ActÕ s restrictions on machine guns. In sum, the CourtÕ s take on modern military technology undermines, rather than supports, Mr. MauerÕ s par-ity argument.
What about the peopleÕ s right of armed resistance or revolution against what some see as tyrannical government? The Heller decision provides little support for this supposed overarching guarantee of Sec-ond Amendment. Justice Scalia cites with approval an 1886 decision of the Court holding that states may control and regulate Ò military bodiesÓ (paramilitary organizations) except those authorized by the militia laws of the U.S. And we should not forget part of Art. I, Section 8 of the Con-stitution which confers on Congress authority to call forth the Militia Ò to suppress insurrections.Ó
