WEDNESDAY’, MARCH IS , 1972 22 DACES — 15 CENTS P r o p o s e T u g H i l l S t u d y The Regional W ildlife Office of the New York State Depart ment of Envlrom e n lal Conserva - tlon at Watertown has described a special project to be carried out on the Tug H ill Plateau. This project w ill involve Inten sive studies of the deer herd on the pleateau over a period of several years. The Tug H ill Plateau consists of a large mass of uplands bound ed approximately by Interstate Route 81 on the west, the Black R iver valley on the east and north and Oneida Lake on the south. The highest elevations on Ihe plateau are located In a w ilder ness designated as the Central Tug H ill zone. Surround ing this central zone is a trans ition zone which form e rly was heavily farm ed. Much of this translsllon Zone has been aban doned from agriculture and Is largely used for recreation or Is public land. One of the most remarkable characteristics of the Tug Hill Plateau Is the extremely high annual snowfall. Moisture-laden clouds coming off of Lake On tario drop their snow as they rise over the plateau. Average annual snowfall exceeds 150 In- chi s on much of the plateau. This is one of the highest snow fall smounts In the contiguous United States, The Central Tug H ill Area consists p rim a rily of hardwood trees which have been cutover at various times. The transition zone contains many stands of softwood trees such as red spruce, hemlock, balsam f i r and White pine as well a s man-planted species such as scotch h e and white spruce. These softwood stands are vital to w ildlife species that overwinter In this area of htgh snows. Included are d e e r, varying hare ( “ snow shoe rabbits” ), ruffed grouse and other forms. These wildlife form s do less well in the Central Tug H ill A rea due to lack of softwood stands which are necessary for w inter shelter However, the central wilderness area is the home o f several true wilderness species such as bobcat and fisher. Deer find the Central Tug H ill Area a very hospitable habitat during- summer and fall. Food and cover Is abundant and en emies are few. However, with the advent of winter deer are Board Approves Leaves The regular meeting of the Board of Education of the South Lew is Central School System was held on Thursday, March 9, at the jualor - senior high school in Turin.

E l iz a beth Ph illip s , M rs. Evelyn Hughes and M iss Yvonne Teltsworth, school lib r a rian s , were granted perm ission to attend a “ L ib r a r y Media Conference” at Syracuse University on A p r il 14. A re quest from M rs.

They congregate in several con centration areas o r deer yards In the transition zone. Unfortun ately, the deer run Into pro blems In the transition zone. T h e ir mobility Is limited under deep snow conditions. They are easy prev for packs of free-run ning dogs. Food supplies may become exhausted during a par- tlcularly difficult winter and starvation occurs. The role of the snowmobile harassment has not been throughly researchedbut may be of some Importance. The Regional W ildlife Office w ill attempt to determine factors affecting the welfare of the Tug Hill deer herd through the severe winter pertcx. and provide man agement techniques to overcome problems. The objective Is to provide deer numbers at the high est level consistent wtth the ability of the range to support deer. Prelim inary reconnaisance work has been completed.

Under state law, polls Ln all villages a r e required to be open from noon until 9 p nt. There appears to be contests shaping up In al least two vll- liages - H a r risville and Port Leyden. W ith write-in candidates always a possibility In village elections, others may develop. Here Is the way the village elections line up: L O W V I L L E In the VUlage of Lo w v ille, In cumbent Trustees Russell R_ Z e l le r and John Fogarty were nom inated lor re-eiectlon at the non partisan Citizens’ Party caucus. Each office is for a term o f two years. There appears to be no efforts afoot in the village for write-in candidates to oppose either M r . Z e lle r or M r. F o garty. PO R T LEY D E N In the village of Port Leyden, Author Scouten and Floyd Hall have been named to succeed them selves as trustee and police Jus tice, respectively, for term s o f two years. The voters of Port Leyden w ill also be deciding the fate o f a $30,000 bond Issue for the purchase of a new fire truck. However, the village has con tracted with the Towns of Leyden and Lyonsdale, which will con tribute 210,000 each overlhenext five years for fire protection, and the Port Leyden F i r e De partment ( the J.S. Foster Hose Company), which has pledged $7,- 500 for the new truck. This leaves a total of $2,500, which in theend w ill be the actual cost of the truck to the village, plus the in terest for floating the bond Issue, C O N S T A B L E V IL L E In Constableville, Trustee Allen E a r l has been nominated to suceed himself for a term of two years. There has been no talk about the village In connection with possible write-in candidates, and if should prove to be a very quiet election. CO P E N H A G E N In the village of Copenhagen, Richard Flem ing and Claude Slc- Nell have both been nominated to succeed themselves as trustees for terms of two years. TURIN In Turin, what appears to be a rather hotly contested race tor the office of mayor seem s to be looming.

Mr.Burm tngbam h as been serving as mayor since the first of theyearw h e n K u rtFranke stepped down from the post to accept the office of town Justice, to which he was elected last fall.

Ramon M y e rs had been nominated to succeed him self as trustee for a term of two years. Neither M r . Connolly nor M r . Myers appear to have w rite-in opposition.
