Phone issues frustrating Crown Point Local telephone company not at fault

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point Telephone customers are frustrated.

So is the company.

Phone patrons are reporting problems receiving long distance calls to the company — but the issue isn’t a

local one, according to Shana Macey, president of Crown Point Telephone.

“When people can’t call into Crown Point via a long distance provider, it’s not Crown Point Telephone that’s failing to complete the call,” Macey said. “That call is being dropped before it ever gets to us.”

Rural telephone consumers across

the nation are reporting problems receiving long distance or wireless calls on their landline telephones, Macey said. The issue is known as “failure to complete.” Problems include incoming long distance calls not connecting or, if they do connect, poor voice quality.

If a person has a working landline phone — they can make calls and receive local calls — but learn that long-distance or wireless callers

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance no longer has a chief operating officer.

J. Justin Woods, who took the job last September, has left because of a funding shortfall. Woods will officially be done Aug. 31, but is using vacation time until that date.

“The Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance is in the process of reorganizing to better serve the community while working within a more sustainable financial structure,” said James Major, chairman of the alliance board. “Unfortunately, the challenge of fundraising and capitalizing a new non-profit during a global economic crisis has proved to be more difficult than we imagined.

We are sad to announce that the result of our funding shortfall is the inability to sustain the salary of our CEO, J. Justin Woods, who

King’s Garden receives IP grant fers a wide variety of horticulture programs throughout the season.

Fort Ticonderoga’s gardening programs are part of “Let’s Move Museums & Gardens” organized by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Priorities of the program include getting children to eat healthy and get active in an effort to solve the problem of childhood obesity.

The walled King’s Garden was originally designed in 1921 by leading landscape architect Marian Coffin. The formal elements – a reflecting pool, manicured lawn and hedges, and brick walls and walkways – are softened by a profusion of annuals and perennials, carefully arranged by color and form. Heirloom flowers and modern cultivars are used to recreate the historic planting scheme. Visitor favorites include the lavender border, towering hollyhocks, bearded irises, dinner plate dahlias and many types of phlox.

Outside of the nine-foot brick walls of the colonial revival King’s Garden, the Discovery Gardens include a children’s garden, military vegetable garden, and Three Sisters Garden. The restored Lord and Burnham greenhouse, charming gazebo, sweeping lawns and shady picnic spots invite visitors to explore the landscape at one of America’s oldest gardens dating to the French occupation of the fort in the mid18th century.

TICONDEROGA — International Paper Foundation has awarded Fort Ticonderoga a $1,000 grant to help underwrite its 2012 children’s garden programs.

The grant will provide funds for materials and supplies needed for the new program series, “Growing up with Gardening: Sow, Grow & Know!,” which will take place this summer in the King’s Garden’s Discovery Garden area at Fort Ticonderoga for children ages 3 - 8. “‘Growing up with Gardening: Sow, Grow and Know!’ program series will encourage young visitors to learn about different vegetables, flowers and insects,” said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga executive director. “Four new themed areas within the Discovery Garden will be unveiled this year including Flying Friends, a garden bed devoted to attracting pollinators; Vegetable Maze, a non-traditional free-form vegetable area; Edible Petals Patch, a garden devoted to plants with edible flowers; and Onion Island, a garden bed devoted to the Allium or onion genus.”

The program will offer “Sensational Sunflowers!” on July 10, “Ladybug Investigators” on July 24, “Vegetables on My Plate: Roots, Shoots or Fruits?” on Aug. 7 and “Flowers on My Plate: Edible and Beautiful!” on Aug. 21.

“The Discovery Garden located in the stunning King’s Garden at Fort Ticonderoga offers a wonderful opportunity for families to explore beauty and nature at one of America’s oldest and most significant historic sites,” Hill said.

Lake stewards posted in Ti, Hague TICONDEROGA — The Lake George Association has been awarded a $14,950 grant from the Lake Champlain Basin Program for the 2012 Lake Steward program on Lake George.

This award combines with $35,000 of funding by the Lake George Park Commission.

The Lake Steward Program provides invasive species education and spread prevention on Lake George. Nine stewards for Lake George have been hired by the Lake George Association and were recently trained at Paul Smith’s College. Beginning May 25, the stewards were on duty at four high traffic launch sites on Lake George —Norowal Marina, Hague town launch, Mossy Point in Ticonderoga and Rogers Rock in Hague.

“The job of the stewards is to educate boaters about the threats of aquatic invasive species, such as Eurasian watermilfoil, zebra mussels, curly-leaf pondweed, and of course our most recent invader, the Asian clam,” said Emily DeBolt, LGA director of education.

Through June 3 the stewards inspected 652 boats at the four launches. Of 13 samples removed from boats, eight contained at least one invasive species. Six contained Eurasian watermilfoil, three contained curly-leaf pondweed, one contained water chestnut, and one contained zebra mussel.

Sixty-two stewards, including nine for Lake George, were trained at Paul Smith’s College earlier this month. The stewards will be educating boaters and performing boat inspections to stop the spread of invasive species in

water bodies across the Adirondack Park.

The LGA stewards are not part of the mandatory inspection program currently under development by the Lake George Park Commission, however, they will be visibly inspecting the outside of all boats and trailers, and they will remove suspicious plant or animal material for later identification.

“This year the stewards will also be focusing on water contained on board, asking boaters if they have drained all water from hatches, bilges, live wells, and other locations prior to launch,” said DeBolt. “Because even the smallest amount of water can harbor aquatic invasive species, the stewards will want to see that the boats have arrived at the launch both clean and dry. Our stewards may suggest, but cannot require, a boater to go to a boat washing station for decontamination. They also will not be operating the boat washing stations.”

Now it is seventh year, the Lake George stewards program compiles data and produces reports on the boats entering Lake George, including the body of water most recently visited prior to the Lake George launch, and whether spread prevention steps were taken prior to launch. Stewards also educate boaters about New York State’s new baitfish and firewood regulations.

All boaters are urged to follow a “Clean, Drain and Dry” practice prior to launch, advocated by local marina owners, the Eastern New York Marine Trades Association, the Lake George Park Commission, the Darrin Fresh

Water Institute, and the LGA. The Lake George steward program is a part of protecting the water quality of Lake George and preventing the spread of invasive species between waterbodies throughout the Lake Champlain Basin and the Northeast. Due to its popularity, Lake George can become a source of invasive species for many other lakes in the region. Nearby, Lake Champlain has documented 49 invasive species, the St. Lawrence River has 87, the Hudson River has 91, and the Great Lakes have 186. These bodies of water surround Lake George on all sides, and boats are easily transported from one of these lakes to the next.

The steward program has helped keep water chestnut from spreading to Lake George and to other bodies of water within the Lake Champlain Basin. Lake stewards found water chestnut on four boats about to enter Lake

On their first day on duty lake stewards Sabina Sullivan, left, and Brandon Bezio removed two invasive species, curly-leaf pondweed and Eurasian watermilfoil, from a single boat launching at Mossy Point in Ticonderoga.

George in 2009, on five boats in 2010 and on four boats in 2011.

In 2011, over 8,000 boat inspections were performed. Of the total 171 plant/ animal species removed by lake stewards from boats, 87 samples were invasive.

Ti students learn about ponds Students receive books TICONDEROGA — Thanks to the Stewart’s Holiday Match the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program of Essex County was able to participate in the Ticonderoga Elementary School’s year-end kindergarten program on ponds.

Kindergarten teachers along with RSVP volunteer Fred Hammann coordinated the event.

“Young (age) 5 and all of the kindergarten teachers were involved in planning project,” said kindergarten teacher Russ Cook . “We thank Stewart’s Holiday Match for providing the books to enhance this learning process.”

Ponds and their ecosystems were studied by the children, hats and T shirts were decorated to celebrate the event and parents were invited to a program in the school auditorium.

Various pond themed songs were performed, culminating with Hammann reading the newly acquired book, “Croaky

Pokey!” The children also danced to the tune of the hokey pokey. Each child was given their very own copy of the book to take home to read to their family and friends; this was followed by “pond snacks” in the cafeteria.

Barb Brassard stated, “Special thanks goes out to Stewart’s

Holiday Match for providing the books, to Russ (Cook) and the elementary school staff for their enthusiasm for this project and to RSVP volunteer Fred Hammann for his time working to mentor our children and provide an inter-generational experience.”

Viewpoint

Is there hope for a sequel?

E

veryone likes to get away for a while, to escape their worries and the daily grind and escape, even if it is just for a couple of hours.

One of the best ways to do that is by going to the movies, where audiences are taken on an adventure, made to laugh or cry, and even given a chance to think.

Don’t believe us? Then let’s look at the numbers. The top three grossing movies of 2011 (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II,” “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”) made $947.5 million.

However, people throughout the North Country may soon lose their access to Hollywood, and it will be Hollywood’s fault.

You see, by the end of next year, every motion picture studio will be making the changeover to 100-percent digital distribution. Your children will soon view 35mm film in the same way they view dial-up internet connections, phones with cords, floppy disks and cell phones you could not text on.

So how are the movie companies helping theaters out? In the case of several small, independently owned local establishments, they are not. Their message is loud and clear: either pay an average of $100,000 per screen to convert to digital or find yourself as extinct as the featured characters in “Jurassic Park.”

Another option is to lease the digital equipment from the movie companies. Sounds good, right? Wrong. Any theater that entered into a lease would be under the control of, “the man,” only being able to show the movies given to them by the companies. For places like the Palace Theater in Lake Placid, the Hollywood in Au Sable Forks or the Strand in Schroon Lake, this would mean all of the special shows that they put on during the holidays or to support local volunteers would go out the window.

The cold truth is, why would the movie companies care about these three theatres, when they only have seven screens total ?

(Palace - 4, Hollywood - 2, Strand - 1) Why would they care about the one-screen State Theater in Tupper Lake, the one-screen Strand in Plattsburgh, the single screen at the Indian Lake Theater, or the two screens at the Glen Drive-In of Queensbury? That’s a grand total of 12 screens.

Think about that. In the entirety of the Adirondack Park, there are only nine movie

screens (the Glen and Plattsburgh Strand are located outside the Blue Line). Why would big movie companies care about these theaters when there are 21 screens between the Cumberland 12 and Regal Cinemas 8?

While Cumberland is an independent multiplex, Regal Cinemas at Champlain Centre also has the backing of 6,463 screens in 555 locations across the United States. Again, why would big companies care about nine screens in an area the size of several states when they have all of these others? Another case of the little man getting stepped on.

And if you are thinking that this is no big deal, here’s some data for you. According to a study done by the Adirondack Film Society, the local Adirondack movie screens attract over $11 million in spending to the region each year. That is almost $1.3 million in estimated sales tax revenue (state and local) that is desperately needed by the communities and counties that make up the park. That is another big hit when you add the fact that another big man—the state—is keeping the little man down with a two-percent tax cap.

These theaters need to survive. They need the help of the state and their local communities, or they are going to be gone forever. We urge the North Country Regional Economic Development Council to do all that they can to provide funding so these theaters can purchase their own digital projectors and screens so they can continue to provide entertainment to their communities. We note that it is also alarming that during a press conference last week, those who have been seeking grant funds for this undertaking said that they were refused entrance into the NCREDC funding pool because they were, “five minutes late,” in submitting their application. We thought the NCREDC was here to work with local businesses, not add more red tape to their plight.

Luckily, the group was able to get in an application for a consolidated grant directly to the state, which we feel must be approved.

If not, this could be the biggest cliffhanger ever seen for these local theaters, with no hopes of a sequel.

Four more years of gridlock

G

ridlock, and the continued widening of the gap between the two political parties on the federal level, leaves most Americans questioning how we will ever resolve the many problems facing the nation.

Both parties have taken political spin mastery to outrageous new levels. Playing to the outer limits of their political bases has done nothing positive for the country and thus it leaves only division, anger, confusion and misinformation among the masses.

More and more American citizens are realizing that neither party has their best interests at heart. Playing chicken, showing complete disrespect for each other and the offices they hold, leaving the country deep in debt while failing to control spending and yet promising that their party alone can solve the ever growing problems facing our nation is leaving citizens with little choice and opportunity. The American political system is now seriously broken and no one in a leadership role nor established party seems prepared to modify their approach in an effort to fix it. Instead this election is shaping up to be just another head bashing, over promising, negative and deeply dividing event sure to leave many frustrated voters wondering how much longer we can tolerate the sad state of the country.

It’s doubtful we will see well recognized national figures break ranks from the established parties, join together and provide serious solutions while proving their genuine sincerity. I fear we will be left once again hoping something will change. We need to face the simple fact that neither party candidate will win with a national mandate, thus forcing the losing party to dig in their heels even further causing even greater stonewalling, and the only things growing will be gridlock, unemployment and the national debt. We all know it’s going to happen like the car accident that happens before your eyes in slow motion. Gridlock is the only thing Washington has mastered over the last 20 years and it ensures the status quo of “If we can’t win then we’ll keep you from being successful at all costs so we have a better chance next time around.” That game may work for the politicians but it’s done little for the country and its future generations.

Somehow, some way we need to break this cycle and scare the “you know what” out of the two established parties. They need to understand that they stand, oh so close, to the abyss, and the American public won’t tolerate this foolishness any longer. The big question is, is there a nationally recognized and well fi-

nanced figure out there who could step in at this late date and make a serious bid for the presidency? The inDan Alexander dividual or group Thoughts from Behind the Pressline would have to be very well established, not seen as a polarizing figure, have unlimited funds and be fearless in the face of a tremendous onslaught from both parties.

While such a candidacy might not succeed, it could be just enough to bring the two parties to the simple realization that they had better find solutions now or surely be prepared to face an even tougher challenge in 2016.

Currently there are five major third or alternative parties in the United States and dozens of lesser-known third parties. Gary Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico, ran for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, running on a platform based on legalization of marijuana, and is the leading candidate for the Libertarian party nomination.

Despite dropping out of the Republican race a week before the Iowa caucuses, Mr. Johnson has not given up his hopes of competing for the White House in November. Having switched to the third party, Mr. Johnson said he is confident that he will be one of three people to compete in all 50 states in the fall along with Jim Gray, a former California judge, as his vice presidential running mate.

I find it hard to believe Mr. Johnson’s candidacy will have an impact on the results this fall. Despite how frustrated the American public may be with the Washington leadership, and the current two established choices, a third party candidate like Mr. Johnson is just not up to the monumental task of even making a dent in the 2012 political scene. But a serious dent is exactly what’s needed to shake up the established parties and bring them back to getting things done. Until the two parties see their existence and power seriously threatened, why should they alter the good thing they have going? It’s sad but it seems no one is prepared to save us from yet another four years of gridlock reruns, Washington bickering and further indebtedness, and that is my greatest fear of exactly what we’ll have more of regardless of who we elect in 2012.

Tournament a success

Taxpayer credit card maxed out

To the Times of Ti:

To the Times of Ti:

On July 28 a very successful softball tournament was held in Putnam. This tournament was a fundraiser for the 2013 educational tour of Southern California and the Grand Canyon.

Five teams entered the day long tournament and even though there was a threat of rain all day, it did not rain. I would like to publicly thank those who played.

The winning team included Mike Pockett, Jeff Granger, Troy Granger, Aaron Bush, Tyler Bush, Andrea Rich, Tiffani Purkey, Ashley Bakemeier, Jarryn Granger and Jake Taylor.

Other competitors included Dan Tucker, Chris Bennett, Christopher Bennett, Robert Kearns, Dan Morrison, Mary Zapolski, Mara Vrandenburg, Carrie Vradenburg, John Zapolski, Bob Fluery, Jeff Kuhl, Adam Geiser, Francis Cox, Jim Pockett, Tanner Purkey, Bobby Grey, Calsie Granger, Garrett Cooper, Mike Iturrino, Michele Eicher, Jennee Darragh, Don Kaupelis, Allison Kaupelis, Lynne Lenhart, Brian Donat, Jolene Harrigan, Jessica Paradis, Eric Stoddard, Josie Worley, Haley Kuhl, Rachel Scuderi, David Bevins, Jay Hebert, Lexi Moore, Ashley Trudeau, Michael Graney and Jesse Wilson.

Thank you to the parents and travelers who helped with the organization and concession stand and also thank you to Dunkin' Donuts and McDonald’s of Ticonderoga for their generous donations.

Don’t call our president names

The (Ticonderoga) town board is now at the point where every project it starts has to be bonded, borrowed or guaranteed. What you don’t seem to realize is that all this money must be paid back at some future date. There is practically nothing that we can pay for.

Since Ticonderoga is not mandated to have a town police force it would seem that it is the only department that can be eliminated.

There are other less expensive alternatives that would provide the same or better level of police protection for the town. It is time for the town to explore these options.

The 3,300 taxpayers of Ticonderoga are not a credit card to be used at the town board’s pleasure.

The board members should remember that you work for us, the taxpayers. You can not wait until the town is broke and has to declare bankruptcy, like Stockton, Calif. They are a large city, which had to lay off half of its police and fire departments and still couldn’t get out of debt.

It is time the board stopped saying we always had this or we always do it this way. Times have changed. A good example is, we always had great drinking water from Gooseneck Pond, now we have to drill wells for water. Besides the regular budget the police chief received almost $35,000 in grants and yet his budget was zero at the end of the year. This budget season, please remember that the taxpayer credit card is maxed out.

To the Times of Ti: To the Times of Ti: As a young boy my mother told me of an old saying with regard to speaking out on a subject! She told me “I could stay quiet and let people think me a fool or say something and let them know!”

The old saying came to mind after reading the letter in the Times of Ti from John Sharkey about our president. I don’t take Mr. Sharkey’s remarks about my assessment of the president seriously because he obviously is biased! However, when someone refers to one of our presidents past or present and uses the word “stupidly” they should remember what the Christian Bible states about slander! Leviticus 19:16 “Do not go about spreading slander among your people.”

Using the failed Solar Energy Company Solyndra as an example of something the Obama administration did wrong was totally ridiculous! As pointed out in a New York Times article “federal loan programs — especially loans for innovative energy technologies — virtually require the government to take risks the private sector won’t take. Indeed, risk-taking is what these programs are all about.”

Solyndra’s loan was $560 million, a mere drop in the bucket to what was paid Halliburton, former vice-president Dick Cheney’s former employer during the Iraq War! China spent $30 billion on solar energy subsidies and America’s solar energy industry with help from loans employs more people than the coal or steel!

When it comes to the truth one can find little in what is being spread by Mr. Sharkey or the Republican Party! Instead of plagiarizing songs and telling people “The sky is falling” Mr. Sharkey would be better served by writing non-fiction! The facts are President Obama as well as Mr. Sharkey didn’t get anything without help from the Almighty Lord! This goes for every businessman and women who may think they did it all by themselves!

There is nothing wrong with not liking our president but slandering him with false truths is not what America is about! I and many other Americans are waiting for candidate Romney to release his tax returns as his father did when running for office! I also wonder why Mr. Romney has accounts in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland where others have used as tax shelters! Shouldn’t we require anyone in the White House to pay taxes as ordinary citizens do!

I have questions about Mr. Romney but I will not call him stupid!

Dictionaries have united people through the power of words since they were created over two thousand years ago. The dictionary helps people express their innate gifts. Without words, we cannot share our ideas with others.

The Dictionary Project puts words into the hands of children so that they can learn to express their thoughts and appreciations for each other and the world in which we live. Words help us make this world a better place for everyone to live in together. If you express appreciation and gratitude, people will have a high opinion of you because you are showing them the respect they deserve.

“Please” and “thank you” are still the magic words.

Computer spell-check may be handy, but it does not replace the dictionary. Spell-check cannot increase the user ’s understanding of words: it does no help someone become a better reader or more creative writer. Dictionaries make students self-reliant. They are an essential tool for a quality education. A child cannot do his or her best work without a dictionary.

We have high expectations for children. We believe that the greatest possible contribution which any one of us can make to the world is to be ourselves – at our best. The purpose of education is to help students develop their best selves. Unfortunately, it has become a challenge for educators to ensure that students have the tools they need to function effectively in the classroom.

The Ticonderoga Elks Lodge will be distributing student dictionaries to the third grade students in our area — Crown Point Central, Moriah Central, Mountainside Christian Academy, Putnam Central, St. Mary’s Catholic School, Schroon Lake Central and Ticonderoga Central.

In addition to the third grade student dictionaries we are also providing French/English and Spanish/English dictionaries to any of the above schools who request them.

Anyone in the surrounding school districts wishing to make donations to The Dictionary Project please contact Richard A. Nadeau, chairman at 585-7659. For a donation of $50 we will place a label in 30 of the dictionaries. The label will either be “In Memory of (person of your choice) or “Courtesy of (Your name)” Thank you in advance for you generosity.

Community rallies around sick child

W

hat do you think of when someone says the word community? The term community has Matthew Courtright two distinct Chamber Connection meanings: 1) A group of interacting people, living in some proximity (i.e., in space, time or relationship). Community usually refers to a social unit larger than a household that shares common values and has social cohesion. The term can also refer to the national community or international community, and, 2) in biology, a community is a group of interacting living organisms sharing a populated environment.

A community is a group or society, helping each other.

When I hear the word community I do not think about anything along the lines of the actual definition. I think of the Ticonderoga area and that when there is a serious situation in someone’s life the people within this amazing community come together. Differences and opinions are set aside and a wonderful community put all of their efforts into assisting a little boy and a family.

Over the last few weeks I have truly witnessed what it means to be part of the Ticonderoga area community. We are all blessed to live here.

The love, prayers and support from this community for my nephew Connor Bruce Courtright and our family has been absolutely overwhelming. From the many fundraisers happening to the constant support, positivity and overall love from the community as well as the support and donations from businesses and individuals here in Ticonderoga. You have all gone above and beyond and words cannot express the gratitude that our family has for all of you. My nephew, my brother and our family are blessed to be members of this community.

Next time you are having a bad day, you are troubled about something happening with the area or upset with someone, stop and remember how this community comes together in a time of need, when it is most important and when the greater good of the community is at stake.

We are all lucky to live in a place where the word family means so much more that those who share the same DNA. What better place would you want to live, work, visit, own a business and be part of a family.

I am truly honored to be part of the Ticonderoga area community. I look forward to continue serving our amazing area businesses, the community and visitors.

Please continue to send your positive thoughts and prayers to Connor. He has a long road of treatment ahead of him.

But I know with the love and support of his family and this community he will be thanking all of you for years to come.

The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce is a private not-for-profit organization that serves, markets and promotes the Ticonderoga area including, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Hague, Moriah and Putnam.

Arts Trek to conclude Final 2012 program Aug. 15 TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Festival Guild will conclude its 2012 Arts Trek children’s series Wednesday, Aug. 15, at 10:15 a.m. at the Knights of Columbus pavilion.

Stan Burdick will present “Animals I Have Known.” Stories and poems of real and fictional animals will be illustrated by cartoon posters. Animal songs will also be included.

Burdick regularly performs in the area from Plattsburgh to Albany, including western Vermont, visiting libraries, senior residences and nursing homes with a variety of programs. He has been featured cartoonist for several area newspapers and is a well-known square dance caller.

Arts Trek is 30 years old in 2012 and was seeking to stage seven programs rather than six. As a board member, Burdick volunteered to add his talents to the stage, making the seventh program a reality in this time of budget cuts.

Although this is the final summer program of the regular series, two more programs are slated for fall.

The first is on Oct. 7 at 4 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus and will feature Sylvia Fletcher, ventriloquist, with her adult program. Hors d’oeuvres will be served.

The second is on Nov. 10 at the VFW at 4 p.m. with Garry Ferris presenting a WWII radio program, including news and music of the time. WWII desserts will be served.

For information about any Ticonderoga Festival Guild programs or about membership, call Executive Director Cathie Burdick, 585-7015.

What's so special about the Adirondack Park?

Stories from the Wild #6

So...we have two meat-eating plants right here in the Adirondacks?

Ever think you'd feel sorry for a bug?

Meet the Sundew and the Pitcher plants, both smarter than the average Adirondack bear. The Sundew tricks insects into touching the sticky stems on its leaves.

When the insect lands, the plant strangles the poor little guy.

Meanwhile, the Pitcher dines on insects tartare by enticing them with a sweet liquid pool in its body. So, here we have it, vegetation that isn't vegan.

If you actually want to find these scary plants, they grow in the waterlogged bogs full of peat, sphagnum moss and other water-loving plants. Note: if you're a bug, stand clear. Head south. (Many Adirondackers would happily support that, anyway.)

built in 1737 and 1741, and demolished in 1863.

Horace Augustus Moses learned the paper industry from the ground up, eventually building and purchasing mills which he consolidated into the Strathmore Paper Company.

Never forgetting his rural beginnings, he began to make considerable donations to many Ticonderoga charitable and educational enterprises, including Valley View Cemetery Chapel, Liberty Monument, Moses-Ludington Hospital, the Community Building, and the Hancock House. In building the Hancock House he achieved one of his earliest lifetime ambitions to establish a museum with a library that would make Ticonderoga a focal point for public interest in the region's fascinating and nationally significant history.

The Hancock House Museum and Research Library was dedicated in 1926. The Ticonderoga Historical Society today manages this elegant structure as a regional museum and reference library. There are interesting and exciting exhibits on all four floors of the Hancock House. The modern library houses a large collection of regional material on civic, social and economic elements and also has one of the largest collections of genealogical resource materials in the region.

The Hancock House was erected in 1926 and presented to the Association by Horace A. Moses, a native son of Ticonderoga, to further the interest of the people of northeastern New York and the Lake Champlain and Lake George valleys in history and the fine arts. After careful consideration the house was constructed as a replica of the famous John Hancock home which stood on Beacon Street in Boston and which was demolished in 1863 to make room for a new wing of the State House. John Hancock, the Revolutionary patriot, second president of the Continental Congress, signer of the Declaration of Independence and later Governor of Massachusetts, was a rich Boston merchant and his home was one of the finest of Colonial mansions.

The original house was erected in 1737 by Hancock's uncle, Thomas, CLOSED and was a “wonder-house” FOR THE in its day.

Ticonderoga • Times of Ti - 11

Spiny water flea discovered in Ticonderoga TICONDEROGA — The presence of the spiny water flea, an aquatic invasive species, has been confirmed in Lake George, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced.

“DEC has worked with its partners on the Lake Champlain Basin Task Force to stop and slow the spread of the spiny water flea,” DEC Commissioner Joe Martens said. “The discovery of spiny water flea in Lake George is not welcome news and DEC’s efforts to slow the spread of this and other invasive species will continue.”

Earlier the Lake Champlain Basin Aquatic Invasive Species Rapid Response Task Force released seven recommendations to slow the spread of spiny water flea into Lake Champlain, which includes redirecting the flow of the Champlain Canal into the Hudson River and furthering a feasibility study for a hydraulic barrier between the Champlain Canal and Lake Champlain.

“DEC fully supports the recommendations of the Task Force and will work with the state of Vermont and our other partners to implement the Task Force's recommendations,” Martens said. “Boaters and anglers also have a major role in slowing the spread of invasive species. All boating, fishing and recreation equipment must be cleaned and disinfected, to prevent spreading invasive species to other water bodies.”

Ti conducting dog census

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Is your beagle legal?

If not, there’s still time to license a dog before the town of

Fort Ticonderoga Chapter #263 Order of the Eastern Star of the State of New York has assisted Waverly Star Chapter #9 in Barton, which was flooded during Hurricane Irene and lost all of its kitchenware. Fort Ticonderoga Chapter #263 was able to donate place settings of dishes, 14 boxes full, to help Waverly get its kitchen up and going.

Ticonderoga takes action.

The town is now conducting a dog census. A form has been mailed to every household in the community seeking information on dogs and providing information on how to properly license a pet.

“We mailed information to 3,184 homes, every home in Ti received one,” said Tonya Thompson, town clerk. “Normally we do a dog census every 10 years, but we’re a little behind. It’s been 12 years since our last census.”

Ticonderoga residents are asked to respond to the census

by Aug. 31. After that date the town will begin a random check of dogs to determine if the pets have been licensed.

State law requires all dogs 4 months old or older to be licensed in the community where they are kept. Unlicensed dogs are subject to tickets and fines, according to state law.

Penalty for having an unlicensed dog is $25, impoundment and the cost of impoundment for a first offense. That penalty increases to $50 for a second offense, $75 for a third and $100 for a fourth offense along with impoundment and the cost of impoundment.

There were 292 licensed dogs in Ticonderoga in 2011.

Thompson believes there are more than 1,000 dogs in the community.

“There’s at least 1,000, probably more,” Thompson said.

“We need to have people license their pets.”

There are benefits to having a dog licensed, Thompson pointed out. It assures the community the dog has been inoculated for rabies and it allows for the return of the animal if it becomes lost.

The dog census seems to be having some impact, the town clerk noted. Last July 14 dogs were licensed in Ticonderoga.

This July, after the census started, 77 dogs have been licensed.

Dog licenses cost $5 for neutered/spayed dogs and $15 for unaltered pets.

For information on the dog census or on a dog license, contact Thompson at 585-6677.

People urged to license their pets

The Task Force is made up of representatives from New York state, Vermont and Canada. The Task Force’s report recognizes that the closure of the Champlain Canal and the Glens Falls Feeder Canal is not technically, legally or economically feasible.

The discovery of spiny water flea in Lake George provides another pathway for the invasive species to enter Lake Champlain via the LaChute River. Lake George is not connected to the State Canal System.

The presence of spiny water flea was confirmed through sampling efforts by the Lake George Association July 31. The samples were taken to the Darrin Fresh Water Institute where four spiny water fleas were identified.

“Right now the commission’s top priority is invasive species control and management, and we will work with our many partners on determining the extent of this population,” Dave Wick, executive director of the Lake George Park Commission, said. “The commission is currently developing a comprehensive invasive species prevention plan for Lake George, with the goal of preventing any new invasive occurrences from entering the lake.”

The possible presence of the spiny water flea was first reported on July 27 by an invasive species steward at DEC’s Mossy Point boat launch in Ticonderoga. A fisherman had reported having a clump of small organisms on his fishing line after spending time trolling the waters off Mallory Island along the east shore of the lake.

The steward took a sample and provided it to the Lake George Association, which passed it on to the Darrin Fresh Water Institute. After the organisms were identified as spiny water fleas the Lake George Association sampled the waters off Mallory Island and further confirmed its presence.

The invasive pest was previously confirmed in the Great Sacandaga Lake in 2008, Peck Lake in 2009, Stewarts Bridge Reservoir 2010, Sacandaga Lake in 2010 and most recently this summer in the Champlain Canal and Glens Falls Feeder Canal.

Eagles flying high in Ticonderoga Non-profit seeks new members

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Above the Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus soars the Fraternal Order of Eagles, a nest of community members seeking to help their neighbors.

“We are people helping people,” Fraternal Order of Eagles Trustee Betty Dolback said.

The Fraternal Order of Eagles (FOE) is an international non-profit organization that aims to unite fraternally in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice, and equality, to make human life more desirable by lessening its ills

and promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope, Dolback said.

The FOE Ticonderoga Chapter, known as Aerie #4410, is located above the Knights of Columbus on 153 Montcalm St. It is comprised of members from Moriah, Putnam, Schroon and all over the region. It was chartered in 1998, though Dolback said the group has had a presence in the community since she could remember.

“Since we’ve been chartered we’ve done lots of fundraising to bring in money for people in need,” Dolback said.

The organization is constantly working with national fundraising efforts, Dolback said, and the FOE has a rich history of standing up for people, and upholding their motto “People helping People.”

Some of the little known major accom-

plishments of the FOE include founding Mother's Day, serving as a driving force in founding the Social Security Program, and helping end job discrimination based on age with the “Jobs After 40” Program.

The Ticonderoga chapter has about 80 members and according to Chaplin Bonnie Fleury, the organization is always looking for more members.

“We need old members and young members and junior members who are more apt to help with cook outs, raffles, and can make things and have energy.”

“We are looking for ambitious members who can stick by what they can do and can help people out, thats what we look at and thats what we do,” Fleury said.

The FOE was founded in February, 1898, by six theatre owners who gathered in a Seat-

tle shipyard to discuss a musician's strike.

After addressing the matter, they agreed to “bury the hatchet” and form “The Order of Good Things.” As numbers grew, members selected the Bald Eagle as the official emblem and changed the name to the “Fraternal Order of Eagles.”

Anyone interested in getting involved in the FOE can contact Dolback at 597-3662 or Fleury said those who want a real idea of what goes on should stop by one of the meetings.

“Come in as a guest, see, meet and talk to some of the people working in this organization,”“ Fleury said. “I really enjoy it, I get so many opportunities to meet with different people and see different faces and we work to make a difference and help people.”

Hacker Boat Company to construct larger boats SILVER BAY — The Hacker Boat Company, Inc., based in Silver Bay on Lake George, has announced that starting this year it will add larger models to its product line. This is a departure from a decades-old tradition of building boats that average 22-30 feet length overall.

For decades the company has built three models (Runabout, Sport and Racer) rarely longer than 30 feet. While larger custom boats have been built, almost all boats have been in the 22-30 foot range. The decision to build larger boats is based on the company’s international expansion efforts. The new models will be 39 to 45 foot, suitable for coastal cruising.

“We are currently seeking dealers to represent us in various regions, throughout the world, that have good potential for boat sales”, said George Badcock, president and CEO of

the company. “We are in serious talks with a dealer in China with multiple locations and have several other dealers expressing interest in representing Hacker-Craft. We are told that customers demand larger boats in such markets. Larger boats are also more suitable for the waters in those areas.”

Dealers in South Korea, Dubai, Uruguay, Croatia and Puerto Rico have also expressed an interest in representing the iconic American brand.

Badcock added, “We need to expand our representation to grow the company. Consumers in several developing countries are now demanding luxury goods, including boats. International expansion will also access other and at times stronger economies, reducing our reliance on the United States market. And when it is winter here, it is summer in other climates, so we can sell more boats on a more consis-

tent basis.”

The company is already selling boats internationally, including a boat recently delivered to a customer in Finland and a tender now being built for a mega yacht under construction in Germany.

The Hacker Boat Company is the largest American manufacturer of classic mahogany motor boats. The company’s corporate headquarter and storage facilities are located near and on the shoreline of Lake George. Production and restoration facilities are located in Ticonderoga.

Each Hacker-Craft is hand crafted by master boat builders who labor over 1,400 hours to build every boat. The company builds runabouts, sport boats, launches, tenders, utilities and custom designed boats from 24 to 35 feet in length.

Fort Ti secures 1776 letter, orders given to commander TICONDEROGA — “The Care of the Fortresses of Ticonderoga and Mount Independence being committed to you as commanding Officer…” begins a letter written by Gen. Philip Schyler as he turns over command of Ticonderoga to Col. Anthony Wayne in the fall of 1776. The letter was recently acquired by Fort Ticonderoga through donor support.

The letter provides unique documentation of the minute details Ticonderoga’s officers had to be concerned with in order to protect the post from attack and properly care for its troops.

“Letters like these are amazing resources that enable historians to better understand how people lived at Ticonderoga during the American Revolution,” said Christopher D. Fox, Fort Ticonderoga’s curator of collections. “The information contained within this letter will help museum staff develop accurate and engaging programs for the public.”

Written Nov. 23, 1776, the letter relays orders to Wayne regarding the security and maintenance of Ticonderoga through the winter. Wayne is given specific instructions to “continually keep scouting parties on the lake as long as the

Delivery Always Available

season will permit it to be navigated” and to “pay the strictest attention to your guards and centennials and punish severely the least remissness in duty” in order to keep the fortresses secure through the winter. In making sure that the forts can be properly defended in case of attack, Schuyler orders that “All huts and buildings that may in the least obstruct the defense of your posts must be levelled.”

Keeping the winter garrison healthy is also a chief concern on which Schuyler instructs Colonel Wayne. He writes that a considerable quantity of provisions, livestock and vegetables are being forwarded to supply the men for three months stating that “You will know of what importance it is that the greatest attention should be paid to the health of the men” and that “having their victuals properly dressed are capital points and greatly tend to the preservation of the men.” In addition to provisions being forwarded for the troops, Wayne is also notified that to help keep the men healthy through the winter “Bedding… will be sent as soon as possible together with a number of iron stoves… to be put up in your barracks for the greater conveniency of the men” and instructs that barracks chimneys be swept every two weeks.

Thirty journals and orderly books contain first-hand accounts and day-to-day orders of an army at Fort Ticonderoga and the Lake George/Champlain Valleys during the Seven Years’ War and War for American Independence.

The Fort Ticonderoga Association is a not-for-profit historic site and museum. Serving the public since 1909, Fort Ticonderoga engages more than 70,000 visitors annually.

The historic site and museum includes the restored fort, museum galleries, Thompson Pell Research Center, and approximately 2,000 acres of land including the King’s Garden, Carillon Battlefield, Mount Defiance, Mount Hope and the northern end of Mount Independence. Fort Ticonderoga is home to one of America’s largest collections of 18th-century military material culture and its research library contains nearly 14,000 published works focusing on the military history of northeastern North America and New France during the 18th century. Philanthropic support by individuals, corporations, and foundations benefits the educational mission of Fort Ticonderoga.

Ticonderoga from page 1 has been working diligently to establish economic development and cultural arts programs.”

The Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance is a not-for-profit, local development corporation whose mission is to restore economic prosperity in the Ticonderoga region. It’s goal is to serve as a clearinghouse for ideas and resources and be a catalyst for public-private partnerships and investment opportunities.

“I greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with the business community, and all of Ti’s organizations such as PRIDE, the fort, festival guild, Ti Arts, TMSP (Ticonderoga Montcalm Street partnership), the chamber and especially the town board and alliance board of directors,” Woods said.

“With limited government support and increasing competition for grants, the funding challenges non-profits are faced with is sizable. Fortunately, the grassroots energy and passion for revitalizing Ti is strong, and this energy will generate the momentum needed to continue as a more sustainable operating plan is developed.”

Woods said he is disappointed to be leaving Ticonderoga, but he’s confident the alliance will ultimately succeed.

“The alliance and town have a bright future” Woods said.

“There are some very smart people in the community.

They’ll figure out a way to succeed.”

The Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance no longer has a chief operating officer. J. Justin Woods, who took the job last September, has left because of a funding shortfall. From left are Alex Levitch, alliance founder, Woods, and Sanford Morehouse, alliance board member.

Alex Levitch, who founded the alliance, praised Woods.

“The task we charged Justin with was large,” Levitch said.

“He brought a wealth of knowledge and experience in community and economic development, and we greatly appreciate his dedication over the past year.”

St. Mary's School alumni and family joined Sr. Shawn Pauline, center front, at the celebration of her Final Profession of Vows as a Carmelite Sister of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles recently. Sr. Shawn Pauline, the former Janet Burke of Crown Point, is the daughter of Francine and David Burke. She attended St. Mary’s School.

Ticonderoga • Times of Ti - 13 Woods helped the alliance establish a strong foundation, according to Sanford Morehouse, alliance board member.

“While we are disappointed that we can no longer afford Justin, his experience and guidance was instrumental in getting us to where we are today,” Morehouse said. “We all learned a lot from his experience and we now have the opportunity to take what we’ve learned over the past year and develop a more sustainable business plan.”

Deb Malaney, Ticonderoga supervisor, believes the alliance has been a great addition to Ticonderoga. She hopes it will continue its work.

“We’re thankful for Justin’s guidance up to this point with the alliance,” Malaney said. “Every organization, especially a young one, evolves and needs to assess the way they do business and be ready to change direction when needed.

“The alliance has had many successes this past year and it’s critical we all join in to keep the positive momentum going,” she continued. “It’s important to remember the very purpose of this organization is to improve quality of life in our community. To this point, they have been operating on private funding only. A strong focus in economic development efforts is crucial for the sustainability of Ticonderoga and that can only happen with both private and public funding.

“I know Justin, Jill and baby Jocelyn are excited about moving back to western New York to be closer to their families and we wish them well,” Malaney said.

Chip Holmes, CEO of Inter-Lakes Health, recently presented David DeFranco of Hague with a plaque in honor of his father Anthony J. DeFranco. DeFranco recently donated a tree to the Heritage Commons Courtyard in memory of his father and in appreciation of the care his father received while an inpatient at Moses-Ludington Hospital. The plaque will serve as a reminder of the donation and that tree stands in memory of Anthony J. DeFranco 1915-2011.

School super bikes through Adirondacks on trek across America Raised awareness, funds for Leader Dogs for the Blind

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — When Mark Mansell gets back to school in the fall, he can easily answer the question of “What did you do this summer?” with four simple words: I rode across America.

Mansell is the superintendent for La Center Central School, a small district of 1,500 students in southwest Washington state in the shadow of Mount St. Helens. On June 16, he left the West Coast on a seven-week bicycle journey from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine.

On Thursday, Aug. 2, he traveled through the Adirondack Park and into Vermont, leaving Newcomb and staying the night in Ticonderoga on his way to Middlebury, Vt. “I can see why people love this part of the country so much. Simply gorgeous!” Mansell wrote on his blog at www.crazyguyonabike.com.

The mission for this 52-year-old amateur cyclist was to raise awareness and funds for Leader Dogs for the Blind, which provides guide dogs and other needed services for people who are blind. It was started by the Lions Club in 1939. Since that time, they’ve given away more than 14,000 dogs to clients.

“And so raising awareness and those funds to provide those dogs is a cause that’s near and dear to the Lions and, as a member of Lions, it’s therefore near and dear to me,” Mansell said.

After spending a night at the High Peaks Campground in Newcomb, Mansell stopped at the Newcomb Central School parking lot off State Route 28N for an early morning interview before heading to Ticonderoga.

of it. So he began to think about his community service work with the Lions Club, and he began to think about his students.

“The idea sort of rooted in my mind, and one thing led to another, and I’m always up for a good challenge,” Mansell said. “And what’s interesting as a school superintendent, as an educator, we challenge our kids all the time to do things, to push beyond their limits, but I wonder how many times as adults we do that ourselves. And so I thought, heck, why not give it a shot and see if I can do it. And the tie to the Lions and the leader dogs was a natural connection, and as they say, the rest is history.”

The idea

The Adirondacks

Mansell started bicycling as a cross-training sport for his long-distance running. Several years ago, a fellow superintendent said that when he retired, he wanted to ride his bicycle across America.

“And I thought that’s nuts. Who would want to do that?”

Mansell said. “I mean, I wouldn’t want to ride across in a car for the fun of it, let alone a bicycles, and yet here I am three years later. I’m doing it.”

Pondering the idea, Mansell thought a bike ride across America could have meaning beyond a solo trek for the fun

Mansell grew up in Idaho, where the mountains are much taller than in New York. So his first impression when biking through the Adirondack Mountains was, “What mountains?

These are hills.” He entered the Adirondack Park from the west, leaving Boonville on his way to Old Forge, and traveled northeast along State Route 28 then 28N through Inlet, Raquette Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, Long Lake and Newcomb.

Mile after mile, he warmed up to the region and started to respect its rolling “hills.”

Mark Mansell gets ready to leave the High Peaks Campground in Newcomb the morning of Thursday, Aug. 2 on his way to Ticonderoga.

Tw e l f t h

“The more I ride these mountains, I’m becoming more used to saying, ‘Yeh, that was a pretty good mountain I climbed right there,” Mansell said. “The ups and downs mixed with the lakes and the forests ... it’s very pretty here, and I can see why people love to come back in the fall with all the leaves turning. Everything is so green. It would be nice to come back in the fall, but I’ve got a school to run.

Maybe when I retire I’ll come back.”

Adventure Cycling in Missoula, Mont. picked the route for his trek and sent him through some of the most remote parts of the Adirondack Park. On paper, it looked the quickest. Yet Mansell wasn’t prepared for the technological challenges that face residents and visitors every day in the Central Adirondacks.

“The challenge is finding cell coverage,” Mansell said. “I anticipated having better cell coverage here in New York and New England than I’m having. The last time I had this was in central Idaho in the Salmon Wilderness Area, so it’s a sign of remoteness, and some people probably come here because of that. For some of us trying to journal every day, it can be a real challenge, and thankfully I had a chance to find a place that had Internet last night in town and got caught up.”

With a Bluetooth headset and a smartphone, Mansell was used to communicating with the world from his bike — making and taking phone calls, blogging and uploading GPS coordinates so people could live track his progress.

Mansell was supposed to take the Blue Ridge Road from Newcomb to North Hudson on his way to Ticonderoga, but he missed the turn. Instead, he continued on Route 28N and didn’t realize his mistake until he got to Minerva.

“Once I sorted it all out I found a new route to Ticonderoga,” Mansell wrote on his blog. “What a great little exploration (never lost) I found myself on. In the end, with beautiful quiet roads like this I am glad I missed that turn.”

After getting wet in the rain and spending extra time on the road, Mansell decided to stay the night of Aug. 2 in a Ticonderoga motel. His original destination for the night was Middlebury, Vt. On Aug. 3, Mansell crossed Lake Champlain on the Ticonderoga ferry, biked through Middlebury and stayed at a campground in South Royalton.

Finish line With a front-wheel tire in the Atlantic Ocean, Mansell finished his trip in Portland, Maine on Monday, Aug. 6. He spent 45 days bicycling (with some rest days), traveling 3,343 miles across America and a portion of Canada. In all, he raised about $70,000 for Leader Dogs for the Blind. All the money goes to Leader Dogs; he and his wife financed the trip by themselves.

ing the application for the consolidated grant.

“It’s not just about changing the projectors over to digital technology; you also have to modify the sound systems as well and really, you need to get better screens,” Wikoff said. “The point was really driven home during a discussion at the Lake Placid Film Festival when these local theaters came together.”

Wikoff said that the goal of the Adirondack Film Society was not only to help small theaters convert, but to help them thrive.

“What we want to do is not only raise the money to help them survive but help them own these projectors outright to get them into a position where they have a better chance to succeed,” he said.

“These people often have another job, and they should be able to make a living off of these theaters.”

Douglas later said that he has already been working with local representatives to push for funding for these local theaters to make the conversion.

“I have been in contact with all of our local representatives and federal senators on the matter,” Douglas said. “There were some that did not even know that this was going on.”

In a letter to Sen. Chuck Schumer, Douglas wrote that for the Hollywood Theater in AuSable Forks, they were looking at a conversion price tag for their two screens of around $160,000.

“This expense will be unreachable for them as a small business,” Douglas said.

“Cory and Sierra (Hanf, owners) used a portion of the $200,000 matching grant secured by the town through the Office of Community Renewal to restore their marquee and other needed improvements. (These funds) to improve their theater and help to revitalize our downtown would now be undermined.”

“If we do not convert, we will not be able to show any movies at all,” Sierra Hanf said. “By the end of next year, there will be no more 35mm film. It will all be digital. We have been told we have to convert or we will have no movies at all.”

SCHROON LAKE — Small, local movie theaters are seeking funds that will keep them from becoming extinct.

During the July 16 meeting of the Essex County Finance, Tax Reduction and Mandate Relief Committee, board chairman Randy Douglas of Jay asked supervisors to support a consolidated funding application on behalf of the Adirondack Film Society.

“It affects all the small movie theaters in all our small towns like Schroon Lake, AuSable Forks, Queensbury and Lake Placid,” Douglas said. “All the big movie corporations

have given the movie theaters 12 to 18 months to convert all to digital. There will be no movies at these theaters without the conversion, so they are applying as a group.”

Along with the theaters Douglas mentioned, the grant also applies to the State Theater in Tupper Lake, the Indian Lake Theater and the Strand Theater in Plattsburgh.

The Strand Theater in Schroon Lake, which has one screen, is also part of the grant application.

“It has a huge effect on Main Street America, on the small towns as we try and do things to improve our local downtowns,” Douglas added. “These are hubs in our communities throughout the North Country.”

Douglas said that the group was receiving help from Naj Wikoff, who is do-

Crown Point historic site to host encampment

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — History will come alive at the Crown Point State Historic Site this weekend.

The site will host its 15th annual French and Indian War encampment Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 11 and 12.

“Guests to the camp will be able to see, hear, walk among and interact with the many volunteers who will spend the weekend portraying the various people of Crown Point’s past,” said Tom Hughes, Crown Point Historic Site manager. “Visitors will want to bring a camera.”

“Tactical weapons demonstrations” will take place between at 2 p.m. each day. They will be narrated by historian Paul Loding, a trustee of the Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site.

A wedding drama will be presented at 3 p.m. Saturday, giving insight into the plight of wives living at forts in the 1700s.

Sutlers — merchants — will show and sell their replica 18th century wares throughout the weekend. Crown Point Bread Company will sell locally-baked gourmet goods inside a tent beside a replica bake oven.

The site’s air conditioned museum, with its high-definition audio-visual show and interactive exhibits, will be open. It is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays.

This year there will also be British naval landings.

“Living history enactors enjoy participating in events at Crown Point,” Hughes said. “Crown Point offers a unique backdrop for this lively event, both geographically and historically. Before the 1730s, Woodland Indians camped on the peninsula. In 1734, the French military built an impressive stronghold here, Fort St. Frédéric, with its tall limestone tower and even a fortified and wind-powered grist mill.

“A quarter-century later, when the British arrived, they added an even larger fortress at Crown Point,” he added. “The limestone

ruins of both the French-built fort and of the earthen walls and stone barracks of the British fort, located on a point of land that juts into Lake Champlain, still offer an inspiring location that has remained largely unchanged since a devastating fire burned the British fort in 1773, only two years before the start of the War for American Independence.”

The ruins are among the very few remaining examples of preRevolutionary military construction in the United States and both fort ruins have been individually designated as National Historic Landmarks by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

“According to experts, the ‘Crown Point fort, in its ruined but unaltered state, is probably the finest existing architectural and archeological specimen of a superior example of 18th century military engineering anywhere in the United States,’” Hughes said.

Lake Champlain Bridge effort cited, NY DOT honored CROWN POINT — The New York State Department of Transportation has received the federal 2012 Transportation Planning Excellence Award for the project that replaced the Lake Champlain Bridge between Crown Point, and Addison, Vt. The honor was bestowed jointly to New York and Vermont for the project, which was funded by both states and managed by DOT. The new bridge was built at the same location as the previous structure to minimize historic and

environmental impacts on the surrounding area.

The land adjacent to the bridge on both sides of the lake is historically sensitive, with Native American, French and Indian War and Revolutionary War artifacts buried deep along the shores of Lake Champlain.

The old structure was demolished in December 2009, and construction began in June 2010..

New York and Vermont worked closely with the U.S. Department of Transportation and other federal and state agencies.

The project, which was initially expected to be completed by 2017, was finished in late 2011.

Nominations for the award were reviewed by an independent panel of judges, who selected winners based on community and public involvement, innovative approaches to completion, context-sensitive solutions to enhance the community and natural environment, collaboration with other public or private entities and long-term benefits of the project.

Nominees could be individuals or organiza-

tions that used federal funding to develop a plan, project or planning process that demonstrated excellence in planning. The $76 million Lake Champlain Bridge project was 80 percent federally funded.

The Transportation Planning Excellence Awards is a biennial program developed by the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration and co-sponsored by the American Planning Association and the Transportation Research Board.

Shana Macey, Crown Point Telephone president, and Tony Macey, Crown Point Telephone vice president of operations, are frustrated by “failure to complete” issues experienced by some customers. The problem lies with long distance service providers, not Crown Point Telephone.

having,” Macey said. “We understand it’s becoming increasingly frustrating for Crown Point Telephone customers. We’re very frustrated ourselves, but we’re not the carrier with the problem.”

“Failure to complete” symptoms include: — long distance or wireless callers repeatedly hear nothing for 10 seconds or more after they dial a number. If they stay on the line, the call may seem to be dropped or they may eventually hear a busy signal; — long distance or wireless callers repeatedly hear prolonged ringing on their end after they dial a number; — long distance or wireless callers repeatedly hear prolonged ringing, but the phone actually rings only a couple of times before being answered; — long distance or wireless callers repeatedly hear a recording such as “The number you have dialed is not in service” or “Your call cannot be completed as dialed” despite having correctly dialed a number; or — poor call quality.

Macey said many of these third-party internet long distance companies do not provide reliable service.

“There are solutions, but people need to report the problems they’re experiencing,” Macey said. “Unfortunately, Crown Point Telephone can’t help. People making the calls need to complain to the Federal Communications Commission.”

For the FCC to take action on a complaint, a phone customer must provide the caller ’s number, the called number and the date the attempted calls or problem calls were made.

If possible, people should also identify the telephone service provider that serves the caller and provide the time of the calls.

Complaints can be filed online at http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/rcc/RCC_Form2000B.html The FCC is aware of the “failure to complete” issue and is working to address it, Macey said. The agency adopted new rules last December to deal with the problem and in February warned long distance providers that they may be in violation of the federal Communications Act.

Moriah Center bridge ‘flagged’ by DOT repair.

“This is the busiest bridge that I have on inventory,” he said. “There are more than 3,000 cars per day.

The only diesel fuel in town is adjacent to the bridge. The emergency squad utilizes the bridge. I need to get that bridge open to all traffic.”

LaVigne said that his hope was to use four beams that are currently in the county inventory and three more that he has located through a contractor in order to fix the bridge. He said that he hoped the entire process would take less than two weeks.

“I plan to use the deck that is there and replace it within five-tosix days of closure,” LaVigne said.

“There may be a few more days after that.”

LaVigne said that he was 90-percent sure that the plan is the most cost effective and will not use the majority of the $70,000 unless another option is needed.

LaVigne added that the bridge could not be cut down to one lane.

“With six roads coming together there, a single lane will not work,” he said.

“It's really devastating,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said on

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com MORIAH CENTER — The Moriah Center bridge was scheduled for reconstruction next summer.

That timeline will need to be moved up.

After the bridge that is seen as the main artery for the town of Moriah was “re flagged” by the New York State Department of Transportation, Essex County Department of Public Works Superintendent Anthony LaVigne got to work, seeking alternatives.

“We had to close the bridge or post it, and we posted the bridge with a five ton limit,” LaVigne said. “The structural component that was flagged was the steal.The bridge is in design for replacement through federal aid program and is scheduled for summer of 2013.”

LaVigne presented members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors with an emergency resolution to start work to repair the near-failing structure, which could cost up to $70,000 that would be taken from unexpended fund balance.

LaVigne said that the importance of the bridge necessities its

Sole assessor question arises in Moriah Current assessor opposes any change

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Ten of Essex County’s 18 towns now have sole assessors. Should Moriah join them?

That’s the question being asked by Tim Garrison, a Moriah town board member. Moriah now has a board of three elected assessors.

“I was approached by several residents voicing concerns of why the town has not gone to a sole assessor,” Garrison said. “I informed them that was a good question and we (the town board) would look into — and if the pros out weighed the cons we would put it on the ballot and let the people of the town of Moriah decide by voting on it.

“I am suggesting that we look at going to a sole appointed assessor, not sole elected,” he said.

New York State allows for three types of assessment — by an elected board of assessors, by an elected sole assessor and by a sole assessor ap-

pointed by the town board.

Several Essex County towns, most recently Crown Point, have switched to a sole appointed assessor.

Garrison pointed to a Department of State study that highlights the advantages of a sole assessor. The study claims many positive reasons for a sole assessor, including lower costs, more professionally-trained assessors, the elimination of conflicts of interest and consistency.

The Moriah trustee also believes towns will be forced by the state to have sole assessors in the near future.

“Eventually we may not have a choice,” Garrison said. “The state is working toward countywide assessments. It’s going to happen.”

Paul Mazzotte, chairman of Moriah’s board of assessors, disagrees with the notion a sole assessor is an improvement.

“When you have a sole assessor you’re lucky to have that person in town one day a week,” Mazzotte said, pointing out sole assessors are often shared with neighboring communities. “We (current assessors) are available seven days a week, nights, weekends. With three assessors there is always someone available to help the pub-

lic.”

He also noted elected assessors are required to have the same training as appointed assessors.

The long-time assessor also presented figures showing a sole assessor will not save Moriah taxpayers any money. Using county statistics, Mazzotte said Moriah parcels are assessed for a cost of $8.95 each, the lowest cost in Essex County.

Mazzotte compared Moriah to Ticonderoga, which has a sole appointed assessor. Moriah has about 3,100 parcels assessed for $8.95 each. Ticonderoga’s 3,500 parcels are assessed at $17.14 each.

“If anything, it’ll cost more to go to a sole assessor,” Mazzotte said.

Moriah residents are happy with their assessors, Mazzotte believes. He again compared Moriah to Ticonderoga. In 2012 Moriah had 15 grievances filed challenging assessments, he said, while Ticonderoga had 373.

“We must be doing a good job,” he reasoned.

Supervisor Tom Scozzafava praised Garrison for bringing up the issue, but said the decision ultimately must be made by voters.

“As a town councilman Tim has a right, a duty, to bring issues to the town board and the public,” Scozzafava said. “He wouldn’t be doing his job if

he didn’t.

“That said, there’s no way I’ll ever vote to eliminate an elected office,” he added. “That’s a question for the voters.”

A town board has the authority to simply vote to replace the board of assessors with a sole assessor, although Garrison and Scozzafava agree that won’t happen. If there is a change, it’ll be after a public referendum on the question.

This isn’t the first time the sole assessor issue has been raised in Moriah. In 2006 a proposition was placed on the ballot to replace the three elected assessors with a sole elected assessor. It was rejected by more than a 2-1 margin.

“This is not a new issue,” Scozzafava said. “It’s been discussed through the years. The last time (2006) we had a public meeting with well over 100 people and were asked to put it on the ballot. We did. The people spoke at that time.”

Scozzafava pointed out the 2006 referendum on a sole assessor followed a town-wide revaluation that generated controversy and anger aimed at assessors.

“If they (voters) didn’t vote to do away with assessors then I don’t believe they will now,” the supervisor said.

The Mountain Lake Services Foundation recently awarded seven high school graduates with scholarships. Recipients were: Jocelyn Belzile, Willsboro Central School; Karin Buck, Willsboro Central School; Hailey Chapuk, Moriah Central School; Teesha Coolidge, AuSable Valley Central School; Anna Daley, Willsboro Central School; Julianne Glebus, Crown Point Central School; and Deanna Mero, Willsboro Central School. Pictured with the scholarship recipients are Linda DuRoss, foundation board president, and Mr. Martin J. Nephew, executive director.

NORTHCOUNTRYSPCA Kathy L. Wilcox • 962-8604

T

his week the NCSPCA would like to remind you to save the date for our upcoming Antique and Tag sale to be held at Whallonsburg Grange on Saturday, Aug. 25, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Early birds arriving between 9 and 10 a.m. will be charged $20 admission for first access to all the goodies!

General admission from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. is free. All items will be marked down to half price from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Proceeds go to benefit the NCSPCA. This is not a rummage sale; we are sure you will be delighted with the array of items on sale!

The NCSPCA is currently offering free adoption of black cats through the month of August. The top ten reasons to adopt a black cat include: black fur doesn’t show up on dark clothes; black cats are warmer on your lap; holding a black cat is slimming; you can always find black cats in the snow; black cats look like little panthers; luck is on your side if you love a black cat; your biker friends will think you’re cool; a black cat is always in fash-

ion; black is beautiful; and black cars are the least likely to be adopted.

Our featured pet this week is Amethyst, a black Domestic Shorthair-mix who is quite an a elegant young lady. Amethyst has a luxurious coat which positively gleams in the sum. This gem of a cat would do well in a family that can help to build her confidence; she is a sensitive cutie who can be a bit shy around people. It seems like this little lady very much wants to be with people, but doesn't quite know how to make the first move. Why not come down to 23 Lakeshore Road and meet her today?

TICONDEROGA — A new slaughterhouse set to be built in Ticonderoga will not have to worry about property tax bills as it gets off the ground.

The Essex County Board of Supervisors voted to allow the Essex County Industrial Development Agency to enter into a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) program with the Adirondack Meat Company in Ticonderoga.

Under Schedule A PILOT, Adirondack Meat will receive a sales tax exemption, mortgage recording tax exemption and 10-year property tax abatement schedule, which starts at 100 percent forgiveness of property taxes for the first two years, then reduces to 50 percent in year three, followed by 5 percent drops in years four through seven and 10 percent drops for the final three years.

Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said that he was told by the IDA that the other two taxing entities, the town of Ticonderoga and the Ticonderoga Central School District, had approved the PILOT agreement.

North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi voted against the PILOT. While he was the lone dissenting vote, other supervisors did raise concerns.

“At the end of 10 years, is there an automatic renewal or are there negotiations?” Keene Supervisor William Ferebee asked.

“The PILOT is done at that point,” responded County Attorney Daniel Manning.

“Let's say that the company comes in and they are only there for three or five years, there is no way that you can get that revenue back,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava added.

Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said that he was in favor of the PILOT and felt the business was going to be successful based on its need.

“This is a much, much needed business in the North Country for our farmers,” Canon said. “Anything that we can do to help them compete we should do.”

Whitehall Athletic and Fields Club opens Boxing card Aug. 24

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com WHITEHALL — For several months, the fate of the former Whitehall Armory was up in the air.

Would it be a town hall, a community center or would it sit vacant and dwindling away?

That was until New Jersey businessman Gregory Gross purchased the property with the goal of creating the Whitehall Athletic Club to compliment his Field Club.

“We expect to complete the renovations within a couple of weeks,” Gross said. “Restoring the

shooting gallery is the next big phase and is also the final phase of the restoration.”

Gross said that a lot has gone into the renovations, such as over 200 gallons of paint and many of hours working to restore the look both inside and outside.

As part of the final touches, Gross will be hosting a professional fight card Friday, Aug. 24.

“We have been putting the lights in and have our own ring,” he said. “We are working hard to make sure that everything is set up property and under the guidelines that the state sets. The amount of responsibility to put on an event like this is huge.”

Along with the Athletic Club, Gross also offers the Whitehall Field Club, which is built on land

that he purchased when he was trying to find a field that he could hay to feed his cattle which he raises in Hubbarton, Vt. “I know of no other place that has the combination of properties, so I think that this is very unique,” Gross said.

The Field Club includes a six-hole links-style golf course, which gives the feel of playing in Europe.

“After I bought the field, I was looking at the designs of the Old Course at St. Andrews and other European links courses and thought that I could create one of those here,” Gross said. “I planted hay seed as well as seed for golf grass and included pot bunkers and all of the features of a true links course. It was great because I would

mow hay in the morning and then golf until it was dry enough to bale.”

Gross said that his goal with the two clubs was to offer a complete experience for sportsmen.

“You can fish the Mettewee in the morning, followed by a round of golf, skeet and trap shooting, come in for a live event on our 16-foot screen or in our ring, then enjoy refreshments and a cocktail,” he said. “It’s an entire day of events for avid sportsmen, which I consider myself to be.”

Gross said that there a range of membership options for those interested in joining the Athletic and Field Club.

For more information on events and activities, visit the website whitehallathleticclub.com or call 832-3662.

Ti to conduct medical clearances

A softball tournament was held in Putnam to support the 2013 educational tour of Southern California and the Grand Canyon. The winning team included Mike Pockett, Jeff Granger, Troy Granger, Aaron Bush, Tyler Bush, Andrea Rich, Tiffani Purkey, Ashley Bakemeier, Jarryn Granger and Jake Taylor.

The angling doldrums of August

T

he fishing season has swiftly drifted into the doldrums of August, as hot, muggy weather and passing low pressure systems have combined with soaring water temperatures, low water conditions and diminished oxygen levels to put fish down.

Surface temperatures on most area lakes now hover in the mid to high 70 degree range, and while some of the local rivers and streams are considerably cooler, the diminished dissolved oxygen content has combined with extremely low water levels to make fish slow to take, and weak on the fight.

The bright sun puts fish down, and it also provides a huge advantage to winged predators such as heron, osprey and eagles.

While fish may still be on the prowl for food, it is up to the angler to present offerings at the proper feeding level during the appropriate time of day. Successful anglers have been presenting offerings at depths of 20-30 feet and greater to take advantage of the cooler, oxygenated conditions.

For flyfishermen, terrestrials remain the fly of choice as trout are keying in on ‘hoppers and other patterns such as flying ants, beetles and foam spiders.

On the lakes and ponds, both bass and trout have only been responsive for limited time frames, with small windows of opportunity available during the early morning hours and again from dusk and into the evening’s darkness.

Popping for bass along the shoreline of an Adirondack lake in the pitch-black darkness is an exciting endeavor. I prefer to troll a popper about 25-30 feet behind the boat. After popping or chugging such offerings as a hula popper or a floating mouse, I listen for the splash of a strike. More often than not, the fish are hooked as they strike on a slowly trolled line.

On recent trips along the Raquette River and the Saranac, we took smallmouth bass quite regularly at the base of falls and rapids. We also took bluegills, river shad and an occasional pike.

I’ve given up on most of the trout streams due to the low water and warm temperatures. Fishing for trout in the rivers at this time of year puts too much stress on their systems, which makes it difficult to safely release them.

Mirror Lake, Lake Placid and Lake Colby are again featuring

the lake lanterns of August, with anglers still-fishing for browns and rainbow trout during the late evening hours. I’ve also received reports that Lake Colby has been giving up some decent browns during the late afternoon and early evening hours. There have been a few flyrodders that are stubborn enough to fight off the ravenous smallmouth bass in order to find the trout.

Where there’s thunder, lightning’s not far behind The recent spell of foul weather has increased the danger of lightning strikes which kill more people annually than hurricanes and tornadoes combined.

Thunderstorms produce lightning in varying degrees. Sometimes there's just an odd flash or two evident, while at other times, storms can produce lightning nearly continuously, with lots of flashes to the ground.

It's the flashes from the cloud to the ground (CG flashes, for short) that create problems. Typically only a small percentage of the total flashes produced by a thunderstorm are visible, since most lightning stays within the clouds. However, it only takes one CG flash to get you!

The human body is essentially a bag of salty water, and it conducts electricity much better than air. As a result, lightning will often try to travel through a person to reach the ground. Any thunderstorm, despite size, should be a matter of concern for campers, hikers, paddlers, anglers and other outdoor travelers.

Travelers should be aware of what to do if the situation becomes hazardous.

On average, there are nearly 100 people fatally stuck by lightning annually in the United States. But it doesn’t always kill you to create major problems in your life. Hundreds of people are affected by lightning in the U.S. every year, short of being killed.

Such strikes can adversely affect a person’s central nervous system for the remainder of their life.

If you are outdoors, you've already increased the risk of being struck by lightning. Highest risk categories include golfers, mountain climbers, boaters and increasingly, flyfishermen. There is only one word for a person who continues to stand in a stream or on an open fairway waving a highly conductive shaft while the sky is dark and thundering. The word is dumb!

What should you do if the weather turns to thunder and rain?

At the first hint of thunder travelers should get off the water, out of the stream or leave the golf course.

Hikers should avoid the mountain summits, the crests of ridges, of slopes above timberline and large clearings. These are extremely dangerous places to be during lightning storms.

If you are caught in such an exposed place, quickly descend to a lower elevation, away from the direction of the approaching storm. Whenever lightning is near, take off backpacks with either external or internal metal frames, toss the golf bag and drop the graphite rods.

In all cases, squat down or kneel down on a pad, life jacket or waders keeping your head low and body out of contact with the ground. A dense forest located in a depression provides the best protection.

Avoid taking shelter under isolated trees or a tree that is much taller than the adjacent forest. Seek out hardwood trees if possible, since softwoods are more prone to strikes due to the high moisture content.

Remember, lightning strikes the tallest object. Stay as low as possible. If caught in the open, seek a depression in the earth, a ditch or hole.

Be proactive in your travels and learn to recognize approaching thunderstorms and adjust your activities accordingly. Since most mountain thunderstorms tend to form in the early to midafternoon, it's generally advised that you begin hiking the higher peaks in the early morning. This will allow you to be on the way down from the summits when the threat from thunderstorms is at its highest.

Keep your eyes on the sky and be prepared to abandon your hiking, paddling or angling plans if a thunderstorm develops unexpectedly. You should be able to recognize developing thunderstorms before they begin to produce lightning.

Fair weather clouds on a mountain may be puffy, but they are short and show little or no vertical development. If they begin to tower up and build into deep clouds with dark bases and a flat top, they are likely in the process of becoming thunderstorms.

A cloud that is tall and beginning to flatten out at the top is usually a thunderstorm. If you see clouds like this around, and there are dark cloud bases overhead, then you are in a potentially dangerous place! And you had better get moving!

TICONDEROGA — Physical exams for all Ticonderoga Central School athletes for the 2012-13 school year were completed in June. However, many of those physical exams are incomplete as the student failed to return a signed Health History form before the physical.

No student will be cleared to participate in try-outs without a completed, Health History form, Health Update form and physical exam. If for any reason a student-athlete did not have a physical exam this spring they should contact Athletic Director Bob Sutphen at 585-7400 ext. 1159.

The Health History form and the Update form must be completed and turned in to the nurse for medical clearance during specified dates and times. The forms can be found on the Ticonderoga High School web page and are available in the main office at the high school. Practice schedules will be posted the day athletes turn in forms. Athletes will not be able to practice until these forms have been completed and the nurse has cleared them.

Medical clearances will be held at the high school nurses office Friday, Aug. 10, at 7 a.m. for football players and Monday, Aug. 13, at 7 a.m. for soccer players and cross country runners.

Modified sports medical clearances will be held Monday, Aug. 20, at the middle school nurse’s office from 5 to 7 p.m.

The school nurse will be available on Tuesday, Aug. 21, 9 to 10 a.m. at the middle school nurses office for anyone who did not attend Aug. 20 or who did not have the proper paperwork.

The Essex County Board of Election wants to make sure that all registered voters who want to participate in the 2012 November general election and the primary elections in September can do so.

To help, the BOE is sending out mail-check cards, which are sent to registered voters with their name, voting district, polling location and current address.

Republican Commissioner Derinda Sherman said that those who receive the cards should take a moment to make sure that the information on them is accurate.

“There are a lot of registered voters who still have their pre E911 addresses on their voter registration,” Sherman said. “Some others have given us a post office box, but what we need is the updated, physical address of each registered voter.”

Sherman added that accuracy is needed when putting a registered voter into their proper voting district.

Sherman said that any changes should be made on the card and returned to the BOE as soon as possible. The deadline date for is Oct. 12.
