    Mike Prescott: Field Notes, Topic Log, and Interview Transcript Raquette River Dams Oral History Project Mike Prescott Field Notes Interview with Mike Prescott for the Raquette River Dams Oral History Project Collector: Camilla Ammirati (TAUNY) Recording Title: Mike Prescott (7.16.15) Format: Audio Digital Recording Length: 00:51:02 Machine Model used: Roland R-05 Wave/MP3 Recorder Interview date: July 16, 2015 Time: 1:30pm Place of interview: The TAUNY Center in Canton, NY Setting and Circumstance: Mike was glad to make a visit to Canton, so he met Roque Murray of WPBS and me at The TAUNY Center. We talked in the classroom, which made for a somewhat echo-y recording. Additional Notes: I first met Mike at the Raquette River Blueway Corridor group meeting the spring before I started on this project. He’s an Adirondack Guide and a historian of the river, and he has written a fair bit about the river’s history for the Adirondack Almanac. While he came to my attention as someone who shares our interest in the history of the dams rather than someone who was involved in or affected by their building, talking with him revealed his own personal connection to the dams’ history. As a child, he went to see the construction in progress, and it clearly stuck with him. He came back to the dams through his later interest in paddling and otherwise exploring the outdoors in the region. One particularly striking idea that came up in our discussion is that his main interest in the dams is, in a sense, an interest in the history of the dams that weren’t built.

The Adirondack Watershed Institute Stewardship Program (AWISP) is part of coordinated efforts at the local, regional and statewide levels to detect and arrest the spread of AIS. The Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) works year-round with partner organizations, communities and government agencies to understand and manage a range of environmental quality issues through research and education. 2014 marked the fifteenth field season for the AWISP. 2014 highlights: Clean, Drain, Dry! AWISP stewards provided coverage at 31 launches on 26 lakes and ponds this season sharing the message of “Clean, Drain, and Dry!” New Education Program! The AWISP launched an off-site environmental education program called the Water Shield Workshop. The program integrates land-based exercises with on-water activities for participants of all ages. Water Shield Workshops were held at Lake Pleasant, Schroon Lake, and Lower Saranac Lake in 2014. Finding Bythotrephes! Survey efforts by AWISP staff confirmed the presence of spiny waterflea (Bythotrephes longimanus) in Lake Pleasant and Piseco Lake for the first time. See it! Touch it! Learn it! The AWISP purchased an Enviroscape watershed model for education and outreach activities. Round-up of accomplishments, by the numbers: AWISP stewards confirmed and removed 834 AIS from inspected watercraft across the Adirondack region.
