Ti artists to offer painting workshops Hancock House to host sessions

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA ã Ticonderoga artists will share their talents with interested people this summer during a series of oil painting workshops.

Joan Pulling and Stella Dwyer will instruct interested people Saturdays, July 13 and 20, on the Hancock House lawn 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Both sessions are free and open to the public.

The workshops are aimed at high school students and adults.

Registration is required. Some supplies will be available.

“Please call me directly at 585-6312 to reserve your place and discuss your art supply needs,” Pulling said. –Iê m happy to answer any questions and always ready to encourage you to join us.”

The program will allow participants to start a painting at the first class and complete it at the second.

–Those wishing to use acrylics or water-based oils are free to do so,” Dwyer said. –Joan and I will provide instruction during the workshops and will offer a step-by-step sheet as a take-away guide to assist people at home.”

Pulling and Dwyer are both working artists at the Ti Arts Gallery, located in the Hancock House at 6 Moses Circle in Ticonderoga.

Ti Arts will sponsor workshops with support from Stewarts Shops and the Ticonderoga Historical Society.

Ticonderoga Arts is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to advancing artistic and cultural activities through education and

Now in its sixth year, Ti Arts has developed into a full-fledged arts organization with a gallery in the lower level of the Hancock House. It collaborates with the Heritage Museum in its children’s summer workshops and hosts the children’s art show at the Ti Arts Gallery at the end of the season. Ti Arts also provides an annual scholarship award to an art student at Ticonderoga High School.

Ticonderoga Arts Gallery is open Thursday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Fort Ticonderoga to mark independence TICONDEROGA ã Fort Ticonderoga will host a four-day celebration this Independence weekend.

“Walk in the marching steps of newly-formed Continental soldiers at Fort Ticonderoga in 1776 as historic interpreters demonstrate weapons of independence and explain the daily military duties of soldiers garrisoning the fort,” said Beth Hill, Fort Ti CEO and president. –Explore family programs that highlight the fight for independence and listen to patriotic performances by Fort Ticonderogaê s Fifes and Drums. Come celebrate freedom by exploring one of the greatest triumphs of 1776 as you discover the stories of the men who helped transform America by overcoming tremendous odds to build the American Northern Army in the fight for liberty. Be in the moment as America began to take shape at Fort Ticonderoga!”

For more information on the events at Fort Ticonderoga July 4-7 go online at www.fortticonderoga.org or call 585-2821.

–Meet the soldiers of the Northern Department of the Continental Army and their hive of military preparations at Ticonderoga in 1776 throughout the weekend,” Hill said. “See artificers in action in the public store busily working to resupply soldiers with clothing and equipment. Discover how these soldiers prepare their cannons, ammunition, and themselves to meet the British army. See rations cooked, logs hewn, and the fort’s 1776 restoration in action.”

“1776 was a year of rebuilding the Northern Army as part of building a new nation,” said Stuart Lilie, Fort Ticonderoga director of interpretation. –While the Continental Congress discussed the finer points of declaring independence in Philadelphia, the shattered remnants of the Continental Army which had come so close to capturing Quebec trickled back down to Fort Ticonderoga. Frost bitten, starving, and decimated by smallpox these soldiers began building up bulwarks and America’s first navy

to defend their new nation. A new Continental Army emerged reinforced by soldiers from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire and New York, to guard Fort Ticonderoga.”

While the declaration itself was signed July 4th, news of the document and the patriotic sentiment it carried would not reach the Northern Army at Fort Ticonderoga until July 28. The new fortifications of Rattlesnake Hill were christened Mount Independence to mark the occasion of the first reading of the declaration to these soldiers. Today Fort Ticonderoga owns the northern half of Mount Independence located in present day Vermont.

Celebrating the rich Free Community Newspaper history of our region T

W

arren County, as well as the entire Adirondacks, is blessed with pristine waterways, looming mountains, and lush woodlands.

For hundreds of years, these natural attributes have attracted people to put down roots here — at first the Native Americans, followed by colonial settlers, and now, those who seek challenge, inspiration or tranquility in nature.

The Adirondack region’s rich resources and strategic natural location prompted battles between British and colonial Americans against the French and their Native American allies, with the domination of the entire Hudson Valley in balance. The area played a key role in American history.

Settlers of this fertile, productive land were industrious, devising ways to develop the natural resources as they carved out a living for their families in this wild territory. In 1783, the lower Adirondacks region was named Washington County, the first county in the new nation to be named to honor the Revolutionary War hero George Washington.

Thirty years later, Warren County was carved out of the regional municipality — officially founded March 12, 1813. The new entity was named after Revolutionary War hero General Joseph Warren, a physician and American patriot who served as president of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress. Joseph Warren, fighting alongside footsoldiers despite his rank, died in the Battle of Bunker Hill at age 34.

In the decades that followed, more and more people were attracted to the region for its remarkable attributes.

The resourcefulness and resilience of these homesteaders was remarkable, as they dealt with challenges that nearly defy our comprehension today.

Entrepreneurs utilized the areaê s vast natural resources ã harnessing waterpower, harvesting timber, and mining minerals ã founding industries that were formative in shaping the new nation.

Over the next 200 years, the area produced innovators in the arts and sciences and visionary leaders in politics and industry ã who exerted substantial impact on society.

This year, area residents have been celebrating the bicentennial of Warren County. At 6 p.m.

March 12, church bells rang out around the county in honor of the 200th anniversary.

This next week, the town of Warrensburg will be hosting a festive event on July 4 to observe both the county and the townê s bicentennial.

On June 12, county leaders gathered in the old County Courthouse in Lake George, holding a ceremonial meeting that celebrated the rich, influential history of Warren County.

Through these events, we are not only hailing the political demarcation of our county, but paying tribute to the ingenuity, vision and resourcefulness of all those who shaped our region during those 200 years.

The staff of Denton Publications, committed to our vital role in area communities, congratulate those who have planned these events ã municipal historians and volunteers throughout the county ã all of whom were vital in celebrating the attributes of people who were formative in our areaê s history. ã

To the Times of Ti:

We would like to thank everyone who attended the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce dinner in our honor last Tuesday.

It was most gratifying to have so many friends and family there; we feel honored and humbled by you all. Thank you to the Schroon town board for the beautiful plaque and for naming June 18, 2013, as Bob and Jane Claus Day. Special thanks to those who spoke: Fr. Michael Webber for his wonderful opening prayer, Betsy Calhoun, Larry Vanderburgh, Mark Granger, Fr. Bob Limpert, Roger Friedman, Darren Woods, Betty Organick and Town Supervisor Mike Marnell.

Tony Kostecki, chamber president, acted ably as emcee for the evening and Rosemarie Ritson took care of many details. Patti Christian and the staff at Witherbeeê s outdid themselves with a superb dinner. All in all it was a most memorable evening.

Thank you, Schroon Lake.

Jane and Bob Claus Schroon Lake Editor’s note: Jane and Bob Claus were honored as the 2013 Schroon Lake Citizens of the Year.

Student loan concerns To the Times of Ti: It is almost July 1, when the dreaded interest rate increase on subsidized student loans goes from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent.

The maximum amount of subsidized money possible for four years is $19,000. Interest accrued throughout the college years is paid by the government. Unsubsidized loans accrue interest at 6.8 percent, but they are limited to $2,000 per year (assuming dependence upon parents), and students are responsible for paying that interest. Students with subsidized and unsubsidized loans may potentially generate a four-year graduation bill of $28,500, with 67 percent of their debt currently at a rate of 3.4 percent.

If subsidized interest rates double on July 1, the government spending on interest payments to each of the subsidized student loans will go from $1,496 to $2,992 over the course of four years.

According to USA Today (June 18, 2013), “an estimated 7 million students so far this year” have Stafford subsidized student loans.

If a quarter of those students are freshmen, the government will have to pay $208,250,000 at 3.4 percent, and $416,500,000 if the rate doubles to 6.8 percent, to cover the interest for just their first year of college.

Raising the interest rate on subsidized student loans will cost new recipients more once they leave school (and hopefully enter the workplace), but will cost the government (taxpayers) hundreds of millions of dollars immediately. Where is that money coming from? Will that increased government spending increase the money available for loans for students? We need information, not scare tactics.

On June 1, the seventh Annual A.L.S. Motorcycle Rally & Ride (Sponsored by Mountain Riders Motorcycle Club) was hosted. Approximately 120 bikers from various clubs enjoyed a late-morning ride starting at North End Harley Davidson in Plattsburgh. This yearê s event was dedicated to North Country resident, David Pearce, who is presently battling Lou Gehrigê s disease.

I wish to take a moment to extend my deepest gratitude to numerous North Country businesses as well as businesses from the East to the West Coasts, family, friends and community members for their generous monetary contributions or donations to the silent auction. Further gratitude is extended to Northline Utilities, the Law Offices of William T. Meconi and Dr. Mahmoud for their monetary donations toward the purchase of food.

Special thanks extended to Keith Lobdell (Valley News), Jeff Meyers (Press Republican) and Deanna Santor (Lake Placid News) for media coverage. Much thanks and appreciation to Joe LaBombard and Crystal Hart for the generous donation of their D.J. services. Pepsi, Loremanê s Screen Printing and Plattsburgh Distributors played a significant role in making the day’s event a huge success.

In conclusion, a heartfelt thanks and appreciation is always extended to the Mountain Riders Motorcycle Club in making the Annual A.L.S. Fundraiser once again a success. North End Harley Davidson was a welcoming host venue for the bikers to maker their departure. Again, thank you and God Bless.

I was surprised to see your publication’s reference to the lack of opera in the Adirondacks, not because of the author’s lack of information, but because the piece got by your usually sharp editors.

It seemed especially strange because of Seagle Music Colonyê s presence in the Adirondacks for nearly 100 years. The Colony is known throughout the United States for its superb training of young artists. Perhaps it is better known in other parts of the country than it is 30 miles to the north in Elizabethtown.

This summer I will entertain a mother and daughter coming from Westchester County to see Kurt Weillê s Street Scene. I also have two friends coming up from Saratoga Springs to see the matinee performance. And two intense opera buffs are coming from Croton-on-Hudson to see Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin. It will be Seagle Music Colony’s first production in Russian.

This letter is for –anonymous” in Ticonderoga who tuned in a fuel oil spill to the New York State Department of Environmental Commission! Anonymous you could have gone to the town highway supervisor or other town official and saved the taxpayers $46,500 that could have been used for any one of several needed projects.

If you were afraid of retribution because you are a town worker you could have sent an –anonymous” letter to our town supervisor who would have investigated the incident and called it into question! There were several avenues for you to get action on the accidental spill at the town highway garage without costing the taxpayers money that could have provided for our senior citizens or school children.

One could understand going to the Department of Environmental Commission if town officials rebuked you but the fact is they were not given the chance to report the spill as was required. Yes, the spill should not have happened and for whoever was responsible for not monitoring the transfer of the fuel from one tank to another there should be disciplinary action taken! I am not recommending a firing but I do think some sort of discipline is necessary to insure another incident of this nature doesnê t occur in the future. Accidents will happen and now everyone is aware that a spill of over five gallons must be reported immediately!

Perhaps you feel better now that taxpayers have to pick up yet another tab for a mistake that wasn’t their fault! Anonymity or “freedom from identification” is sometimes needed to protect the innocent but in this case the innocent have been harmed. The people of Ticonderoga deserve better! The fine will be paid with funds needed for highway equipment and hopefully –anonymous” wonê t need his/her snow removed in an emergency when a plow is out of action!

regional school children is especially troubling. Last fall the childrenê s opera Little Red Riding Hood was staged through a BOCES program in 12 schools in the Adirondacks and Champlain Valley.

This fall Three Little Pigs will be staged in North Warren, Schroon Lake, North Creek, Minerva, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Putnam, Warrensburg, Port Henry, Keene Valley, Willsboro, Ausable Forks and other schools. Four operatically-trained singers will stage the opera, invite questions and chat with the students.

The plot centers around two boy pigs who are sloppy about building their houses, while the girl pig goes to the library to research the technology of huff-proof, puff-proof building construction. Her house of course survives, and the brothers have to agree that going to the library to read books is a pretty good idea.

With the hope that all our neighbors will enjoy opera.

TICONDEROGA ã The future is uncertain, but thatê s OK. Riley Chapman, valedictorian, urged his classmates to look forward without worry as he spoke at the Ticonderoga High School graduation June 22.

“At some point in the past four years you likely have asked and tried to answer the question: what in the world am I going to do with my life?,” Chapman said. –And there is a good chance you have come up with an answer by this point, or at least a temporary solution. It is probably not perfect or complete, it doesnê t have to be.

–The last four years, well 13 for some of us, have been great, but I think you would agree they have been rather predictable,” he continued. –School...in Ti, and then some more school...in Ti, and then we moved, to the high school...in Ti. You see, for the first time in your life you get to go out and create your on world.

You get to choose what you’re interested in, pick who influences you, decide many aspects of how you will make your world. Today, you become world makers.

–However, leaving behind predictability means facing the unknown, and the unknown can be very intimidating,” Chapman said. –Iê m sure you remember how intimidating the high school seemed at our eighth grade promotion. How on earth were we going to find our way around? It’s over three stories tall!”

The valedictorian told classmates to have confidence. Things will work out.

–Now you face another round of uncertainty, and I urge you to tackle all the unknowns that come up,” he said. “At times, you may be tempted to turn back, but it pays to keep going, to work hard, and to trust that in your future the dots will connect.

–It may not be clear which path you are on, but you strive to continue,” he concluded.

–Strive to see new sights, and find new places, meet new people. Strive to go on, to find

of you and that is to continue to set goals and continue to dream because this is just the end of the first chapter of our story; the real journey is only just about to begin,” she said.

Ticonderoga graduated 57 seniors. The ceremony included the presentation of awards and scholarships, presentation of lowers to graduates and musical selections.

Kiwanis plan duck race Decorating contest under way

TICONDEROGA ã The Kiwanis Club of Ticonderoga will hold their third annual Ticonderoga Decoy Duck Decorating Contest.

All merchants in Ticonderoga and Hague are invited to participate. The contest will run from through July 22. The contest is a part of the Kiwanis Club’s annual Duck Race which will take place in Bicentennial Falls on Aug. 4.

whatever it is that pulls you to the end of this trail. Then, maybe then you will have lived life to its fullest. But, if weê re all going to be honest with ourselves, I have to admit that figuring out what comes at the end of the path was never the point in taking a path to begin with. So, carpe diem, seize the day, and enjoy your journey.”

Ticonderoga High School’s Class of 2013 is certain to have great success in the future, believes Wen Na Zhang. Whatê s important is that graduates remember their roots.

Zhang, the class salutatorian, urged her classmates to stay true to their heritage during commencement exercises June 22. Quoting Paulo Coelho, Zhang said, –The secret to happiness is to see all the marvels of the world and never forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”

–The drops of oil represent our values, our family, our home, and who we are,” she said. –Some of us are entering the military.

Some of us are entering the workforce. And some of us are going off the college. But wherever you go, I ask that you remember where you come from, I ask that you remember the ‘drops of oil on the spoon,’ because that is where you will find who you are.”

Zhang also took time to acknowledge parents and teachers for their contributions to the class.

“For 18 years, they have lived and breathed solely to see where we would end up today, many times giving up their own happiness just to put a smile on our faces,” she said of parents. –They stood right behind us, waiting to catch us when we stumbled and sometimes even when we fell. They structured themselves so that we could be safe and comfortable in this dangerous world.

–No matter how much we complained and whined, especially about the horrid senior projects, our teachers continued to encourage us, knowing that one day, their efforts would pay off,” Zhang said. –And they have. The evidence is right here with us today. Thank you teachers for doing all that you do. And I know that you have become like family to many of us, in the classroom and on the field.”

Zhang concluded by challenging the Class of 2013.

“Before I end here today, I would like to ask one more thing

Hike-a-thon planned by Lake George Land Conservancy Ti, Putnam, Hague to host events

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — In celebration of its 25th Anniversary, the Lake George Land Conservancy will host a Hike-A-Thon Friday, July 5, the first of its kind for Lake George.

The lake-wide event will involve eight parks and preserves in six towns and is expected to engage hundreds of participants of all ages.

The Hike-A-Thon will include nine simultaneous hikes and events at eight locations around Lake George: eight different hikes and one gathering at LGLC’s Peggy’s Point, an accessible park in Hague. Participation is free and open to the public. Everyone who pre-registers will receive an event t-shirt and certificate of participation.

The Ticonderoga hike will be on Cook Mountain. The Putnam hike will be at Gull Bay. Details are available online at www.lglc. org/NewsAndEvents/HikeAThon.asp.

People can register by Email at shoffman@lglc.org or by calling 644-9673. Information is also available on Facebook at facebook.com/LakeGeorgeHikeAThon.

To document the occasion, aerial photographs will be taken by renowned photographer Carl Heilman, II, from a helicopter flown by Bruce Mowery of North Country Heli-flite. Copies of the photos will be made available for purchase by request and at LGLC’s annual meeting July 15 at the Lake George Club.

“The Hike-A-Thon has been a lot of fun to organize,” said Sarah Hoffman, LGLC communications and outreach manager.

“We’re excited to get 400, maybe 500 people from all around the region to come together as one community, for the love of Lake George.”

Each hike or gathering is scheduled to match the helicopter’s flight path, from Bolton to Ticonderoga on the west side, then down the east coast to Lake George and back up to Bolton on the west.

“The idea for a Hike-A-Thon was dreamt up by LGLC staff,” explained Hoffman, –as something we could do to really showFDVHRX U P RVWY LVLEOHDVVHW VW RW KHSX EOLF RX U SU HVHU Y HV DQG celebrate those members of the community who made them possible.”

LGLC’s trails vary in length and difficulty to suit most ages and abilities. For those who are unable to hike or would like a less-intensive activity, a garden party is planned for Peggyê s Point, a flat and accessible waterfront park in Hague. Flowers will be available to plant and the group will be photographed by the waterê s edge.

Teams of “hike captains” will be at each location to check in participants as well as to lead the groups. Anyone wishing to be a captain is encouraged to contact Hoffman.

LGLC was founded in 1988 to fill a need for land protection around Lake George. Since then the conservancy has worked with partners such as the Adirondack Nature Conservancy and New York State to protect over 13,000 acres of land and 9 miles of shoreline. Of those lands 5,060 acres are currently owned and/or maintained by LGLC as public parks and preserves with over 24

Historic sites plan joint program CROWN POINT — With the Lake Champlain Bridge landscape restoration project on the verge of completion, Chimney Point State Historic Site and Crown Point State Historic Site will together host a New York – Vermont afternoon of learning about preservation and restoration.

–Historic preservation is in our DNA,” declared historic site administrators Elsa Gilbertson and Tom Hughes in a joint statement. –Both of our sites are part of the respective statesê Divisions for Historic Preservation, but most often the preservation work is conducted somewhat behind-the-scenes. For three hours on June 30, we will put a spotlight on a variety of restoration and preservation efforts.”

In the 1730s, the French military built forts right here, on both sides of the lake, claiming the region for New France. A quartercentury later, when the British Army arrived, they added a very large fort complex at Crown Point and defensive earthen works at Chimney Point in Addison, Vt. The event requires participants to follow the tour leaders on foot or bicycle. The progression begins at the Chimney Point tavern at 1 p.m. Guests should purchase their tour ticket ($8 for one person; $15 for two) upon arrival at the entrance to the Chimney Point museum. Apart from the considerable intact archeological resources underfoot at Chimney Point State Historic Site, the oldest standing structure on the property is the late-1700s tavern section of the main building.

The second stop is outdoors, where Chimney Point landscape preservation will be explained. In 1966, the State of Vermont bought the Chimney Point property to protect it from private development. The next topic will be the commemorative trail, newly-installed to interpret the previous Lake Champlain Bridge (1929 – 2009) using kiosks, wayside signs, indoor displays, and even a salvaged original piece of the steel bridge substructure.

After the members of the tour have crossed the new Lake Champlain Bridge (opened in 2011), the tour continues at 2 p.m. at the steamboat pier (completed in the 1930s) and Champlain Memorial lighthouse (completed in 1912), both of which were the focus of exterior restoration efforts in 2008 – 2009. The Champlain Memorial features four bronze figures in sculpture, including Hebertê s Samuel de Champlain and –La France” by Auguste Rodin. The lighthouse and pier are part of the Crown Point Reservation Campground, operated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Next, the tour arrives at the former bridge toll collectorê s house, now the Lake Champlain Visitors’ Center, which contains an excellent exhibit and several brief videos commemorating the

International Paper gave a grant to the Ticonderoga High School robotics club. The money was used to purchase software upgrades and hardware to kick-start the program. Above, Tyler Morse, Lynn O’Hara and Riley Chapman tweak their automatic fish-feeder. The students built the feeder using an arduino microcontroller programmed to feed the fish every day at 8:40 a.m. by turning a small servomotor. The students went on to build a variety of devices that incorporated sensors, controllers, outputs, and programming; all designed to take in information, process it, and make the devices do something useful.

original Lake Champlain Bridge. The toll collector’s house was built at the same time as the 1929 bridge and it was the subject of restoration work, including slate roof replacement, during 2008 and 2009. Admission to this travel information center is free.

At 2:45, the tour arrives at the authentic remains of Fort St. Frédéric (1734-59). The limestone walls here, dating back to 1734, require considerable preservation attention year-round.

For the past 37 years, the ancient masonry walls on the grounds of Crown Point State Historic Site have been getting expert attention from specialist Darrell LaFrance, who will actively demonstrate his masonry skills – rain or shine – on the 279-year-old walls of the French-built fort at the lakeshore. Mr. LaFrance will be assisted, as he has been since 2001, by mason tender Robert Lacey. The limestone ruins of both the French-built fort and of the two-story barracks of the British fort, in both cases are registered National Historic Landmarks.

Next, guests will be shown evidence of landscape and viewshed preservation at the British –Crown Point” fort and the surrounding acreage. These garrison grounds were donated to the State of New York, for the expressed purpose of preservation, in 1910.

The tour concludes with a 3:30 p.m. tour of award-winning renovation work completed recently on the former farmyard barns that are located just outside the vast British fort ruins.

CROWN POINT ã Graduation can be a time of reflection, but not for Gabe Macey.

The Crown Point Central School valedictorian urged his classmates to look to the future during commencement exercises June 21.

“Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies,” Macey said in his valedictory address, quoting Ann Landers. “I could stand up here and reflect on the past four years of our lives, from winning sports titles to enjoying class trips, but instead I’m choosing to talk about the next four years.

“These next years mark the start of a new quarter in our game,” he said. –It does no good looking back on what we would’ve, could’ve or should’ve done. Instead we must look to what we can and will do. Our years in high school have been stepping stones for the years that have yet to come. It has helped us to develop into the leaders of the future.”

Macey then spoke about the importance of being a true leader.

“People tend to associate having a lot of skill and power with leadership,” he said. “Unfortunately, people who take advantage of the power they have and abuse or misuse it rarely have much influence. Failing to realize that a true leader is one who gives all the credit and takes all the blame, they tend to take any credit for themselves without any recognition of the contribution from others.

“We can be so quick to boast about ourselves and lose sight that some of the best things in life cannot be earned, but are given,” Macey said.

–If we will realize this and give credit where it is due, to whom it is due, the influence and

A true leader recognizes these differences and joins the group together to complete the challenges they face. For in the end, all of them are trying to achieve the same goal.

“So to the class of 2013, I challenge you to be a leader,” he concluded. “Look past the differences you see in others and instead look forward to the goals you have set for yourself. For the choices you make will affect your future. Robert Fulghum once said, ‘The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence.

Moriah Central School graduates senior class

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The Moriah Central School Class of 2013 graduated as a group, but it’s important to remember they are individuals.

That was the message delivered by valedictorian Dallas Rich during commence exercises June 28.

“School is the first place most of us learn about the world,” Rich said. –We learn to wait in line, we learn to take turns, we learn we are good at some things and we learn we are not so good at others.

–We also learn to accept and appreciate others and ourselves for who they are,” he continued. –And sometimes, you get to learn things about yourself that you never even knew! But in the end, we realize weê re not all the same and that each of us has a different personality thatê ll lead us in different directions.”

But while graduates will pursue a variety of futures, theyê ll share common memories, Rich noted.

–Weê ll always remember our individual stories about this place, a place that became part of us along the way,” he said. –Weê ll remember the fun stuff, like the end-of-the-year kickball games with Mr. McCaffrey, or the annual volleyball tournament And weê ll remember the not so fun times, like the sudden realization that you need to finish that book that you havenê t started by tomorrow, or that you have a speech to write.”

And while those memories will remain, they may not be the most important thing graduates carry forward, Rich said.

Moriah Central School graduate Dillon Adkins is congratulated by Marcia Glebus prior to commencement exercises.

“In a few years, we’ll look back at our senior year and laugh at how the most trivial things seemed so important,” he said. –And most importantly, we will always remember our teachers who, throughout our time here, always expected the best from us and yet persevered when we were at our worst.

–As we leave here today, each of us will embark on our own journey down very different paths,” Rich said. –This small part of our lives is over, and we are heading out to meet our future. Like our teachers it is time for us to expect the best, and persevere through the worst. Let

us take all that we have learned here ã anticipation and hope, tolerance and patience, fun and responsibility ã and use them well.”

Salutatorian Zachary Zelinski told his classmates adulthood had arrived.

“This is now the final page in a very long chapter of teen-age life,” he said. –After this day we are expected to put on our adult pants and make life decisions on our own. Parents will not be there every moment of the way to hold our hands. We wonê t have guidance counselors to show us the right path.

And out future teacher will not as easygoing or accepting of misdeeds.

Kayla Sherman and Mike Mero share a moment before entering the audito–My advice to you, rium for commencement exercises.

Schroon grads asked to serve others Maisonville, Whitney lead 2013 Class

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake Central School Class of 2013 is right where it should be, according to valedictorian Dan Maisonville, ready to serve others.

–We have been created to primarily serve, love and care for others and we have each been given unique characteristics to enable us to fulfill this purpose,” he told classmates during commencement exercises June 21. –We have been placed on earth to make a difference in people’s lives.

–As I have spent time with you, my classmates, I have come to see the unique characteristics and attributes that each one of you have: generosity, encouragement, compassion, diligence, joyfulness, leadership, supportiveness, integrity, industriousness and patience,” Maisonville said. –Each of you has been gifted with attributes and characteristics that are needed in peopleê s lives.

The world needs you to serve them, care for them, and make a difference through your compassion, encouragement, leadership, and joy.

“You have already done this in my life through serving me, caring for me and being who you are,” he said. –I encourage you to continue to utilize your strengths and abilities, who you are, to serve others and make a difference, just as many of the individuals tonight have done for us. By doing this, you will see great and amazing things happen in your life and the lives of others.”

The valedictorian also thanked those who helped the class reach this point ã parents, family, teachers, coaches and community members.

–As a class we have spent a great amount of time together and have developed a deep camaraderie and have a number of things in common,” he said. –However, one of the most important characteristics that we all have in common is that we are only able to be here tonight because of the care, love and investments of many different people including our parents and families, our teachers and coaches, our community and the Lord.”

Schroon Lake graduated 19 students.

The graduation ceremony included the presentation of flow-

It also included several speeches.

Clare Whitney, salutatorian, pointed out how each class in school taught life lessons.

–One thing that I have always loved about math is that there is one answer; you are right or you are wrong and thatê s that,” Whitney said. –But in life, that will not always be true. There will be times that life is not black and white and those are the times that we will have to create our own formulas and plug in the variables of our own lives to solve our problems. And no matter what we get for the answer, we can learn from it and maybe even get the chance to try again.”

Schroon Lake students also learned the value of community, Whitney said.

–The basics of science remind me a lot of our class itself,” she said. –Weê ve learned a lot about cells and how they have many organelles inside them that allow them to function. From mitochondria to lysosomes, they each have a different job and serve

Schroon Lake graduated 19 students this year. a different purpose. Like cell organelles, we will all be moving forward in different directions and leading different lives, but like a cell, when we come together we create something greater than any one of us individually — the Class of 2013.

–No matter what happens, we will always be there for each other,” she said. “In the end, we know we have each other; to celebrate with when times are great or to lean on when times are not-so-great.”

Rita Herbst, a Schroon Lake math teacher, was selected by the class to deliver the faculty address. She reminded students they are ã and will remain ã important to teachers.

–Itê s been a privilege learning about you, learning with you and learning from you,” Herbst said. –Iê m a better teacher and person because you were my students. I want you to know Schroon Lake teachers care about each and everyone of you. We love you. Please come back to SLCS and let us know how you’re doing. I have no doubt that you all will go on and do great things.

“These are difficult times for teachers,” she concluded, “but a class like this makes it all worthwhile.”

the graduation address with an acrostic for saying GOODBYE as she as well as the graduates would be leaving and moving on. The words and ideas represented by each letter served as an encouragement to help make the transition easier. Phillips concluded her portion of the address by stating that –we say our good-byes to this phase of our life but we move out as the eagle, soaring on Godê s plan for us.”

Jennifer Bensen, who would be taking over as MCA’s new principal, continued the graduation address with another acrostic to say HELLO as she and the graduating class would be starting the next phase of their lives through hard work, excellence, laughter, love for others and only trusting in God. Phillips along with Peterson and Mountainside Bible Chapelê s chairman of the Deacon Board, Terry Wisser, presented the diplomas to the Class of 2013. The ceremony concluded with the assembly singing –To God be the Glory” and Peterson delivering the benediction.

Following the recessional, those in attendance conveyed their congratulations to each graduate and enjoyed a reception that was held in the schoolê s gymnasium where each senior had a table of memorabilia from their childhood and their years at MCA. The evening concluded with a question and answer time for the seniors and a slide show highlighting their special memories while together at Mountainside Christian Academy.

SCHROON LAKE ã Mountainside Christian Academy awarded degrees to four graduates during its 36th commencement exercises June 15. Family, friends, MCA faculty and students were in attendance to show their support and witness the graduation of John T. G. Andryuk, Matthew J. M. Legacy, Cole B. McNally and Elora M. Sabatini.

The seniors marched up the aisle to the tune of –Pomp and Circumstance,” played by Debbie Bensen. The ceremony began with pledges of allegiance to the American flag, the Christian flag and the Bible and the corporate singing of “America the Beautiful.”

After Rev. David Peterson delivered the invocation and welcome, Conni Phillips, MCA principal, introduced each of the graduates in alphabetical order, which also happened to be the order in which they began their education at MCA. Phillips included a Bible verse chosen by each student as well as each of their plans after graduation. She announced that this yearê s graduating class could be characterized by their kindness to each other and their fellow students.

This was followed by John Nelson, representing Word of Life International presenting each student with a Bible.

McNally delivered the salutatory address, pointing out to his fellow classmates that following graduation they will have many choices to make that will impact them for the rest of their lives in either positive or negative ways. They will need to decide if they will –follow God or do things the worldê s way” while relying on their own abilities. He explained that fear, worry or pride could get in their way of submitting to God and following his plans as they move on to college.

After the salutatory address, the graduates presented framed certificates to their parents expressing thanks.

Andryuk, valedictorian, began his address with the phrase, –your reputation precedes you” to emphasize that oneê s reputation can be formed by the goods deeds done or by the poor choices made. He warned the graduates that as they leave Mountainside, –we should all be extremely careful, so that we are not defined by our mistakes.” As they go off to college, their reputation would be forged by the choices they will make along with their actions; these would help determine their future. Andryuk used his grandfather as an example of one whose life left a mark on the many people with whom he came in contact and was later affirmed at his funeral as over 900 people came to honor him.

He concluded with a desire that his own legacy, as well as the reputation of the other graduates, would be one of godliness and hard work.

Sabatini sang a solo, “How Deep the Father’s Love for Us,” while Bensen accompanied at the piano. This was followed by MCA students and staff along with alumni standing together on the platform to follow the tradition of singing the schoolê s alma mater.

Phillips, who is retiring this year as school principal after 28 years of employment at Mountainside Christian Academy, began

Lady

ready to venture forth into the big world!

Our featured pet this week is Lady, as positively gorgeous 6 year old Ragdoll cat, that a woman rescued and has tried for almost a year to help her adjust to the new home.

Unfortunately, Lady does not like her other cats and neither Lady nor her other cats are happy. Lady was initially shy around people,

tion - she likes to follow her favorite people around like a dog! She is a beautiful girl who needs a castle of her own, with someone who will enjoy grooming her thick, luxurious fur and giving her the attention she craves as the queen of the house. If you love Ragdolls, please help this lovely girl out. Please call Claire at 963-4226 to learn more about Lady!

Programs to be held in Schroon and regionally

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE ã Seagle Music Colony will open for its 98th season this summer in Schroon Lake.

Seagle Music Colony is the oldest summer vocal training program in the United States and the premier opera and musical theatre producing organization in the Adirondack region of upstate New York. This year it will feature 32 students selected from 400 applicants.

–As part of their training during the summer program, the young artists, along with the professional SMC faculty and staff, will present six fully staged and costumed productions of opera and musical theatre,” Tony Kostecki, general director , said.

All productions will be presented at the colonyê s Oscar Seagle Memorial Theatre on Charley Hill Road in Schroon Lake. Two will also be presented in other locations.

–Street Scene” by Kurt Weill will open the season July 3-7. It’s based on the play of the same title by Elmer Rice.

–Albert Herring,” a comic opera by Benjamin Britten will be performed July 17-20. The story of the opera follows the title characterê s crowning as the virginal –May King” of his small English country town, and his subsequent fall from grace after collecting his winnings.

The Seagle Music Colony will produce the first opera in its history to be sung in Russian, “Eugene Onegin” (July 31-Aug. 3. English

translations supertitles will be projected above the stage.

The Broadway musical “42nd Street” will take stage Aug. 14-17. The play follows the behind-the-scenes shenanigans of a Broadway diva and her rival ingénue.

Two productions will tour the region this summer. The childrenê s opera –The Three Little Pigs” opens at the Boathouse Theater in Schroon Lake on July 13 and then goes to North Creek, Ticonderoga, Bolton Landing, Glens Falls, Lake Placid and Chestertown. All performances are free and open to the public.

The story, adapted by John Davies, uses music from the operas of W.A. Mozart, and has a library theme.

A revue, –Music of the Night: the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber,” will be performed in North Creek at the Tannery Pond Community Center on July 20 and then plays in Schroon Lake at the Schroon Lake Central School July 25 and 26.

Booze cruising!

E

nergy concerns, Middle East conflicts and homegrown independence are all reasons why our nation needs to develop an energy policy that works for the people, the environment and for long term sustainability.

Alcohol-based fuels and vegetable fuels are both made from plants. Vegetable oils are being treated and made into bio-diesel. French fry cars! Corn is being processed into alcohol then denatured to make it into a non-drinkable alcohol based fuel. Denaturing is simply adding some hydrocarbon based fuels, like gasoline to alcohol making it a fuel and non-drinkable alcoholic liquor. The gasoline you buy at the pump today is a mix of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline.

By Rich Redman Using corn as a fuel is good for the midwest farmer, but is hurting the eastern and western dairy farmers who use grain in their feed rations. The cost of corn has risen and it eventually affects food prices. Increased corn prices, along with the western drought have increased beef and pork prices. Food should be for feeding people and animals, not fuel.

Switchgrass is an option that many energy scientists are looking at. Once the enzyme is found that can break down the switchgrass and convert sugars to alcohol, grass may be the fuel source instead of corn. Prairie land could be planted to switchgrass and harvested for fuel use.

The benefits would be long term perennial grasses planted instead of rotational crops, so carbon would be tied up, erosion reduced and overall fuel and energy used on the farm for crop production reduced. Corn could once again be used for food, hopefully reducing dairy farm feed costs.

Switchgrass is also an excellent pheasant cover grass if managed for wildlife habitat. Cutting the grass after the birdê s nesting period allows a new brood of birds to survive. Tall grass habitat is also made by simply not mowing some areas like along ditches, roads, stream corridors, and keeping conservation reserve fields for wildlife. Now midwest farmers would have two sources of income once again; grass for fuel and pheasant hunting which brings in millions to areas like South Dakota. When the prairie grass was plowed in and turned to corn ground, much of the birdê s habitat was lost. This would be a win-win for both the farmer and the pheasants.

On another side of the ethanol front is how to extinguish it when it burns.

Transporting ethanol

There is a concern from fire departments, hazmat teams, and local officials on ethanol transports going through our area almost daily. Railroad traffic in our area has increased due to shipments of ethanol from Canada to Albany. Numerous unit trains are running up and down the shoreline of Lake Champlain daily. A unit train is one that is made up entirely of one type of rail car carrying usually one type of product. In our case, it’s a unit train with 100 cars, each holding about 29,000 gallons of ethanol, or 2.9 million gallons of ethanol per train.

Almost pure ethanol before it makes it to the fuel depots for remixing is 98 percent ethanol and 2 percent gasoline. This is a polar solvent, meaning it mixes with water. A prime example is a scotch and water cocktail served with ice, enjoyed on the back porch occasionally. Hydrocarbons separate from water and float. Alcohol mixes with water and that is a serious problem when trying to extinguish an ethanol fire. Fire departments will have a very hard time supplying enough water to dilute the ethanol volume involved in a train accident to reduce its flammability. A small leak is possible to dilute, but a car load is the problem.

To extinguish an ethanol fire, you need to blanket the fire with AR-AFFF foam, which stands for Alcohol Resistant-Aqueous Film Forming Foam. Alcohol resistant foam doesn’t break up in a foam blanket like regular foam. The bubbles in regular foam blankets will slowly dissolve and allow vapors to escape which could possibly reignite. And that is not cool when you are standing near a pool of ethanol!

Alcohol resistant foam is about $38 per gallon and a large fire could easily use more than 1,000 gallons, so the cost of extinguishing an ethanol fire may be out of reach for many fire departments and county hazmat teams. The other solution and possible outcome is to let it burn in place and protect the perimeter and surroundings. In the words of Dirty Harry: –A man must know his limitations.”

At a recent Essex County ethanol fire training program in Willsboro, fire companies trained in the use of AR-AFFF foam. Teaching firefighters how to apply foam so there is an uninterrupted blanket to cool the fire, and eventually provide a layer of foam over the fuel to hold down the vapors so they wonê t reignite was the mission of the instructors. They did a superb job.

Fire companies from Willsboro, Westport, Moriah, Port Henry, Essex, Lewis, Elizabethtown and elsewhere attended this training sponsored by the Essex County Emergency Services and the NYS Fire Academy. Many of us were mixed with firefighters from other companies so we would get to work with folks outside of our own department. I worked with a great crew from Lewis.

As the saying goes, we train for the worst and hope for the best. We are trying to be prepared because there is a lot of denatured booze, cruising through our neighborhoods!

“Burt the Raccoon,” a puppet show presented by John Tierney of Wakefield, R.I., will be offered Wednesday, July 3, at 10:15 a.m. the Ti Knights of Columbus pavilion by the Ticonderoga Festival Guild.
