President’s Report - cont. from pg.1 launches on Keuka Lake. We believe that will also need to recruit a cadre of VOLUNTEERS who will be will- ing to staff the launch sites during those peak hours of launch activity, especially when fishing tournaments visit the area. The KLA has already been in contact with the Village of Penn Yan and they are in concert with our pre- liminary ideas. However, there is a lot of work that needs to be done over the next several months. So I am asking now for people who are interested in assisting with this activity to VOLUNTEER now. This initiative cannot be accomplished by the KLA Board of Directors alone. We would like to see a cross section people from the watershed who would VOLUNTEER to help us. If you have even a slightest interest in assisting us, please contact the KLA office now, so that we can compile a list of future volunteers. Some of you may remember that the group working on the Strategy for a Sustainable Keuka conducted a survey at the KLA An- nual Meeting and later sent out an electronic survey on a variety of watershed issues and goals. In excess of 97% of the respondents indicated a willingness to support some type of pre-launch boat inspection program. We now need your help to make this idea a reality. In 2014 the Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association ran its own Boat Launch Steward program and their volunteers averaged about 16 hours each for the whole season. So the more VOLUNTEERS we can muster, the easier it will be on everyone. Please contact our office at [email protected] now to sign up. Membership is the key to a healthy KLA organization. We need to get more Keuka Lake area residents to become members. Please spread the word to neighbors, friends and local businesses. A KLA Member- ship is a great holiday gift that will continue to give for generations to come. Again, we appreciate the support of our membership and with your assistance, the Keuka Lake Associa- tion should have a great 2015. Please have a safe holiday season!

MEMBERSHIP update - Mike Gow

As of writing this update, the KLA 2014 membership drive has nearly ended…and, we’re happy to report, very successfully! We anticipate the year ending with a membership approaching 1,700! (Our total membership in 2013 was 1,651.) Your KLA continues to be relevant, active and growing.

You can learn about several accomplishments the KLA has attained during 2104 elsewhere in this, and prior, newsletters. However, to provide an historical overview:

“Since our founding in 1956, the Keuka Lake Association has played a major role in helping to protect and preserve Keuka Lake. In many instances the Association provided program leadership to address specific problems. However, in every situation, success was achieved through a close collaboration with all parties interesting in finding a solution to the problem at hand.”

In the next newsletter, I will provide insight to a few of the significant initiatives and accomplishments the KLA has been instrumental in achieving since it’s formation.

Once again, the KLA Board sincerely thanks you for your membership, and your participation, in helping us keep Keuka Lake clean and safe.

Please remember to include KLA gift memberships to others on your holiday list!!

We’d also love for you to increase your membership level for 2015.

If you have any membership questions, please contact us: 866-369-3781, local at 315-694-7324, visit the KLA website or email us at: [email protected].

Be well, safe and enjoy the Holidays!! We look forward to seeing you next year.

Page 3 December 2014 KLA Newsletter Hydrofracking & well disposal committee report - Jim Barre

The KLA Hydrofracking and Well Disposal Committee expects the NYS-Department of Environ- mental Conservation (DEC) to issue a revised draft of the Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement) SGEIS) in the next few months. Governor Cuomo indicated in a televised debate that the decision on High Volume Horizontal Fracturing for Natural Gas (HVHF) would occur after the November elec- tion and when the NYS Department of Health issues its analysis.

Both the KLA and the Finger Lakes Regional Watershed Alliance have reiterated their opposition to HVHF in their respective Watersheds in letters to the DEC.

The KLA expects to have a conversation with the DEC before and near to the time that the revised SGEIS is issued.

Again, the economics of HVHF in the Marcellus Shale Layer under the Keuka Lake Watershed are signifi- cantly reduced due to the thinness of the Marcellus Shale layer; and, its nearness to the surface increase the environmental risks.

The Committee of Towns opposing HVHF continues to meet and encourage/support towns in the Watershed to adopt Town Comprehensive Plans and Zoning Laws to prohibit HVHF.

We are hopeful that HVHF will be prohibited in the Keuka Lake Watershed.

Page 5 December 2014 KLA Newsletter KLA Lake Level Committee - Wayne Hand

Even with gate settings remaining at the minimum opening for most of the period since early Au- gust, lower than normal precipitation this fall has resulted in the lake level being at, or slightly below, the new minimum objective for much of October. The chart below shows the KLA web site actual lake level data (mobile version), as of 11/14/14, vs. the new objectives which includes the delayed fall draw down.

The Keuka Lake Outlet Compact (KLOC), which controls the lake level, will begin the fall draw down about 11/17/14, to coincide with the latest objectives shown above. Over the next few weeks from that date, the lake level will drop about 1.4 ft. to the winter level, so by the time you read this article, hopefully you have re- acted accordingly for any shoreline asset plans. We hope that lake users have enjoyed the extended boating season this year, which the new delayed draw down objectives have aided.

KLOC completed dredging of the outlet in the Kimball Gully area in Penn Yan. However, the outlet still has some shallow areas outside of the NYSDEC defined Kimball Gully dredging area, which may cause some boat navigation issues, especially as the lake level drops further. Boaters should use caution in this area. Since much of the debris that was removed during dredging was the result of extreme area flooding this spring, there is a good possibility that at least a portion of the $10,000 cost for this effort will be reimbursed by FEMA.

Are you ready for this??????

Page 6 December 2014 KLA Newsletter Navigation & recreation Committee - Ira Goldman PFD REMINDER: Please keep in mind the NYS winter law requiring wearing of a PFD: While not required by law, wearing a PFD during activities on the ice is also a good idea. Inflatable PFD’s are ideal for this purpose.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT REMINDER: Now that you have winterized your boat and put it away, you might want to review your inventory of safety equipment to see if anything should be replaced for the upcoming 2015 season (time to get those items onto your Christmas lists now while they are fresh in your mind). Also think about any other new safety equipment that you might have seen this summer that you should have for next summer - marine radio, depth finder, new spot lights, etc. You may be aware of the development of LED flares, apparently they are under test by the Coast Guard http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/rdc/ projectspotlight0412.asp but are not yet approved as a replacement for the other required visual distress sig- nals. If and when the CG approves LED flares, NYS requirements will likely follow but it could be some years afterwards

WINTER BOATING AND ICE ACTIVITIES: If you continue boating activities this winter, please keep in mind a number of safety concerns: WATER TEMPERATURE - Make sure you are properly dressed and outfitted as the lake temperatures begin to drop rapidly (please see the water temperature graph on the KLA website). It has his- torically dropped from the 40's down into the 30's from November through March. LAKE LEVELS - As you navigate any waters this winter season, make sure you are on the lookout for shallow areas or uncovered obstacles due to the lower lake levels. Shallow water marker buoys may not be present if they have been taken out by NYS Parks for the winter months (which then get reset in the Spring). LESS ASSISTANCE OUT THERE - This time of year, since there are fewer people around, cries for help or distress may go unanswered for some time. Prepare yourself for anything to happen and assume it will be awhile before help can get to you. ACTIVITIES ON THE ICE – keep in mind that if you are fishing, skating or ice boating on the lake this winter to consider wearing a PFD and carry “ice spikes” to pull yourself out should you fall through the ice.

BOATER SAFETY COURSES: NYS law now requires anyone born on or after May 1, 1996 to hold a Boater Safety Course Certificate in order to operate any "mechanically propelled vessel". This now goes beyond just personal watercraft. There may not be many safety courses held locally during the winter months, but please plan on attending one in the spring if you cannot find one this winter. We will have in the spring newsletter a listing of the Local Sheriff agencies phone numbers that you can contact for a listing of spring dates they may be holding the safety courses.

Page 7 December 2014 KLA Newsletter Invasive Species in Your Backyard! Emily Staychock, AIS Advisor, CCE

Over the past few years, many types of invasive species have gained notoriety due to the extreme harm that they cause to the environment, economy, or human health. Hydrilla, emerald ash borer, and giant hogweed are some of the most infamous. However, there are many other types of invasive species that lurk closer to home, possibly even in your own yard or garden. Many of our worst plant invaders were brought to the US for horticultural or landscaping purposes. While these plants may be aesthetically pleasing or provide privacy from neighbors, they should be called out for what they are: invasive! Invasive plant species that grow on private property can impact the health of the watershed. Citizens can engage directly in the fight against invasive species by identifying the plants growing in their yards and gardens, removing plants that are invasive, and choosing to plant native species. Burning bush is a prime example. Introduced to the U.S. in 1860, this shrub is well-known for its beautiful red fall foliage, and is a popular choice in landscaping. How- ever, just one of these attractive shrubs is capable of producing hundreds of seedlings, and if not managed burning bush will form dense thickets that displace native plants. It has multiple strategies for reproduction, which increases its success: its bright red berries are readily spread by birds, and it can also reproduce by root suckers. There are several native species that have a similar aesthetic effect and can be used as an alter- native: ringed bluestar, Hubricht’s bluestar, witch-alder, oak-leaf hydrangea, or arrow- wood viburnum. Another common horticultural invasive is Japanese barberry. This shrub was introduced as an ornamental to the U.S. in 1875. It has small, spatula-shaped leaves that range in color from green to bluish-green to reddish-purple, and pale yellow flowers that give rise to bright red berries. Like burning bush, Japanese barberry increases its success by reproducing by seed as well as through vegetative reproduction. Left unmanaged, it forms dense stands that displace native species, and large infestations can make the soil chemistry more basic, which challenges native growth. Native alternatives include fragrant sumac, bush cinquefoil, winterberry, or spicebush. Honeysuckle is a well-known invasive, of which there are multiple kinds: Amur, Tatarian and Morrow’s honeysuckle (there is also Japanese honeysuckle, which is a vine). Tatarian was introduced in the 1700s, and Amur and Morrow’s in the 1800s. They are all shrubs that produce small fragrant flowers and red berries (although Mor- row’s can also be yellow-orange) that are dispersed by wildlife. Honeysuckle can also spread by vegetative sprouting. Left unchecked, honeysuckle grows in dense thickets that block native plant growth. It can take over acres of land, making it unsuitable for any other purpose. There are native species of honeysuckle, and other native alternatives include arrow- wood, red or black chokeberry, and spicebush. Oriental bittersweet was introduced in the 1860s. It is a woody climbing vine that can grow up to sixty feet long with stems up to four inches in diameter, and may appear as a shrub. It has small green flowers that produce green fruits. It reproduces by seed as well as through vegetative reproduction. Oriental bittersweet covers and chokes native shrubs and trees, and can even uproot trees. Native alternatives include passionflower, trumpet creeper, and trumpet honeysuckle. Although please note, even native vines can become nuisances if they aren’t managed. There are some common yard and garden invaders that are more of a nuisance than an attractive ornament. Garlic mustard is one of the most notable invasives in the Northeast and Midwest, particularly in forests, and is common in yards and gardens. It was first rec- orded in US around 1868, and was probably introduced for food and medicinal purposes. This biennial herb in the mustard family produces low rosettes of kidney shaped leaves in its first year of growth, and in its second year produces single or multiple flowering stalks one to four feet high. It reproduces by seed, and aggressively covers the ground and displaces grass and native plants. Its impacts are particularly harmful in forests. Cont. on pg. 8

Page 8 December 2014 KLA Newsletter Invasive Species in your Backyard Cont. from pg. xxxxxxxx

Multiflora rose is another common nuisance invasive. It was introduced in 1866 as an ornamental, for erosion control, for wildlife, and as a living fence. It’s a dense, thorny shrub, reaching up to 15 feet in height, with arching stems that can climb. It has fragrant flower that are white to pink, and small red fruits. It forms dense thickets that outcompete native plants and cause a thorny nuisance. Multiflora rose reproduces by seed and vegetative reproduction. Native alternatives include flowering raspberry, pasture rose, and swamp rose Japanese knotweed is an extremely aggressive and damaging plant. It was first introduced in late 1800s for horticulture, erosion control and landscape screening. It’s a shrubby plant that can grow four to ten feet tall. It has bamboo-like stems that are green to purplish-red color, and broad, heart- shaped alternating leaves, tiny greenish-white flowers and winged fruits. It typically grows along the water’s edge (streams, ditches, lakes), but is also commonly found on the border of yards and along roads. Many homeowners like Japanese knotweed because of its unique bamboo-like stems and its value as a natural privacy barrier (note: Japanese knotweed is actually not a type of bamboo, and is actually a member of the buckwheat family). However, Japanese knotweed is extremely detrimental to ecosystems, as it forms dense thickets that block understory vegetation from growing, which increases erosion potential and can impact water quality. It also has a large underground rhizome/root system that can damage underground pipes and foundations. In parts of Europe Japanese knotweed actually devalues homes. Native alternatives include winterberry holly, spicebush, buttonbush, silky willow, or pussy willow. If you have any of these invasive plants on your property you might want to consider removing them, particularly if they’re located in an area where they have the potential to spread (such as along a stream or ditch, or at the edge of a natural area). The longer an invasive plant goes unmanaged, the bigger and less manageable the problem becomes, so an early response is key. Many types of invasive plants can be removed by hand pulling, while others require digging to ensure removal of the root system. In some cases herbicides are helpful in guaranteeing elimination. When using an herbicide, you should always check the label for the species it can be used on and the proper concentration. The EPA has a good on-line resource, “Safe and Effective Herbicide Use: A Handbook for Near Water Applications” at http://www.epa.sa.gov.au/ xstd_files/Water/Other/pesticide_water.pdf.

Critter Corner Expanded - Dave deCalesta Smokey

Prior to the great land-clearing for agriculture in the 1700-1800s, New York was a heavily-wooded state. A number of now extinct “charismatic megafauna” (eastern elk, wood buffalo, woodland caribou, gray wolf, mountain lion, grizzly bear, and wolverine) roamed the state. All were eliminated in the 1800s by being market-hunted for their fur and flesh, indiscriminately killed because of their habit elimination of their prime habitat—extensive and heavily wooded landscapes. Only two escaped this fate, and that barely—the white-tailed deer and black bear. Like their other megafauna brethren, black bears and deer were nearly extirpated in New York by the late 1800s, and only the emergence of the then Fisheries, Game and Forest Commission (which evolved into the DEC in 1970) and concern by the hunting public resulted in protections that allowed bear and deer populations to recover. As forestlands recovered in New York, providing essential habitat, black bears began their comeback in the Adirondack and Catskill Parks and in the wooded border between New York and Pennsylvania. By the early 2000s, bears had increased their range to include the Finger Lakes region and Keuka Lake—once rare bear sightings are now becoming more common as forests are replacing the vineyards that dominated the hillsides above Keuka Lake in the 1800s and 1900s. The black bear is the smallest North American bear; large males approach 500 pounds and a large fe- male would be just over 250 pounds. Territory (home range) occupied by males is in the 8-60 square mile range; for females it is only 1-15 square miles. They breed in July, and females give birth in January-February to 1-3 cubs during winter “hibernation.” Females raise their cubs over a 2-year period, breeding only every other year, kicking out the young ones at the beginning breeding season, which is a good thing because adult male bears are fond of eating cubs. They reach old age at about 20 years. Females “hibernate” October-March, males November-February. It’s actually a pseudo-hibernation (biologists call it denning), because unlike true hibernators (e.g., woodchucks) bears reduce their heart rate from 40 to 8 beats a minute, as opposed to chipmunks which have about one a minute. Body temperature of denning bears also only slightly declines. The bears are faintly aware of their surroundings and if disturbed, or if sensing warm weather, they can awaken and move about. They den in large hollow trees, under brush piles, in culverts, and in cavities they excavate in the ground. Primary habitat is extensively forested areas, but they utilize openings next to forests (including cornfields and vineyards) for foraging, primarily at night. Bears are classified as omnivores, meaning they will eat anything, animal or vegetable. They focus on grasses, fruits and berries, and insects, including wild honeybee hives (and hives of beekeepers!). To pack on the fat in fall needed to survive over-winter denning, bears gorge on acorns, beechnuts, and fall berries. They are notorious for raids on garbage cans (a recent study identified “plastic bag” as the number one food item in bears’ stomachs) and include barbeque grills as favorite dining sites. Wild bird feeders are also a source of fall food, and are one of the most frequent (nocturnal) encounters between bears and humans (take them in at night—the feeders, not the bears). Bears have learned to search forested openings in clearly- defined patterns, seeking out new-born deer fawns which are too slow (in the first week of life) to escape them. There is a hunting season (September 6 - December 16 depending on hunting method) for bears in New York with an annual harvest in the low thousands. Bears belong in and contribute to ecosystems: among other things they are one of the few remaining predators helping control deer abundance. There are few cases where humans have been attacked by black bears, and the old axiom (never get between a momma bear and her cubs) applies. Enjoy their presence on the rare times you might see them The New York Department of Environmental Conservation updated an informative pamphlet on black bear in 2007: read it by going to: http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/bbnathis.pdf. If you’re interested in the history of charismatic megafauna and how they contributed to (note past tense) ecosystem health, read the book Where the Wild Things Were: Life, Death, and Ecological Wreckage in a Land of Vanishing Predators by William Stolzenburg.

Even though Dave and his wife, Kathy, have left Keuka Lake for Tennessee, Dave has still volunteered to continue to contribute to the KLA newsletter. His knowledge is much appreciated!!! Past “Critter Corner” articles can be found on ur website.
