fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ North Country Community College may expand its Ticonderoga campus to include the former LoweÕ s building.

College officials plan to submit a funding application for a feasibility study that could lead NCCC to utilize the vacant store on Wicker Street and convert it to an applied technology center.

“The vacant Lowe’s facility has been on the minds of people in Ticonderoga,Ó Dr. Steve Tyrell, NCCC president, said. Ò IÕ ve been thinking about ways to ease the middle skills gap in the Adirondacks.

I thought this might be a winwin for the college and the community.Ó Middle skills are those requiring more than a high school degree, but not a fouryear degree.

If the project becomes reality, NCCC will expand its degree programs in Ticonderoga.

Specific curriculum have not yet been identified, but Tyrell expects an emphasis on green technology.

NCCC has asked other colleges, both two- and four-year institutions, to participate in the Ti program.

“I can’t confirm any other colleges at this point, but I have had discussions with

Rely for Life to be held in Crown Point Annual event has added meaning this year for co-chairs

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ The second annual Relay for Life of Crown Point will be so much more than a benefit event for its co-chairwomen.

Anita Johnson and Carrie Pertak, who started the American Cancer Society fundrasier a year ago, now have an even greater stake in the relay. Johnson was diagnosed with breast cancer this spring and Pertak,

her best friend, is her caregiver. Ò The relay, especially the survivors ceremony, is always very emotional,Ó Johnson said. Ò I think itÕ ll be even more emotional for me this year. ItÕ s been quite an experience.Ó The Relay for Life of Crown Point will be held Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 10 and 11, at Crown Point Central School. It will begin with a survivor ceremony at 7 p.m. Saturday followed by teams walking until 7 a.m. Sunday to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

“I’ve always done relays, but this one will be different,Ó Pertak said. Ò Fortunately, IÕ d never had a

Ti police to increase school presence Parents ask for police in school buildings

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Students will notice an increased police presence in the Ticonderoga Central School District this fall.

Ticonderoga police have agreed to patrol the districtÕ s three schools Ñ high school, middle school and elementary school Ñ on a regular basis and will be at schools during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal beginning in September.

The action comes at the request of parents, who submitted petitions to both the Ti school board and Ti town board seeking police in schools.

Ò The petition came after Sandy Hook,Ó John McDonald, Ti school superintendent, said. Ò People were concerned about school safety, as they should be. I’ve discussed it with Ticonderoga police to see what we can do.Ó Sandy Hook, Conn., was the scene of the Dec. 14, 2012, elementary school shootings that killed 20 children and six adults. The incident is the second deadliest mass shooting by a single person in American history, after the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre.

The parent petition asked that a police officer be assigned to the school district and maintain a day-long presence. That’s not possible, according to Ti PD Chief Mark Johns, because of funding.

With seven full-time officers and six part-time patrolmen, there are many times there is only one officer on duty, Johns said.

Having that officer in a single location — a school — would leave the town without police coverage. It would cost $72,000 a year to

add a school resource officer, he said.

McDonald and Johns have researched grants that could pay for a school police officer, but have not discovered one.

“I understand the value of having a school resource officer,” Johns said, “but the current level of police department staffing doesnÕ t allow for it. We just donÕ t have the resources.

“A grant would be wonderful, but I’m not optimistic,” he added. Ò Nationally there is $15 million allotted for school resource officers, which is way too little. That wouldn’t even cover the state of Rhode Island.Ó McDonald and the school board offered the Ti Police Department office space in a school building. The idea was a police officer could do paperwork and conduct other police business while being on site in case of an emergency.

Johns rejected that offer because he believes police best serve the community when they’re on patrol and not in a single location. Ò In the past 10 years weÕ re improved the technology in our police cars to allow officers to file the reports they need while remaining on the street and visible,” Johns said. “To have an officer, often times the only one on duty, grounded in one building wouldnÕ t satisfy the needs of the community as a whole.Ó As a compromise the Ticonderoga Police Department has agreed to have officers stop and walk through schools as part of their daily patrols. Officers will also be at schools when students arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon.

Johns said he would like to have a school resource officer, but he just doesnÕ t have the manpower.

“A school resource officer serves several purposes,” the chief said. “It provides security for a school and keeps a trained professional available in the event of an emergency.

“And school resource officers often build a rapport with young people,Ó he added. Ò That makes it easier for them to approach police when they have a problem or concern. That can also help police with investigations.Ó McDonald credited Ti police and Johns with their concern with students and the school district. Ò WeÕ ve had a lot of conversations to make our schools a safer place,Ó the superintendent said. Ò I believe weÕ ve made good progress.Ó As a result of those talks Johns and McDonald are planning an emergency response drill at a Ti school during the upcoming academic year.

McDonald also noted several security improvements resulting from the school building project two years ago. All school doors are now locked during the day and visitors can only enter after being identified and approved by school officials. There are also now cameras throughout school buildings.

Rowen Bechtold and Jack Stormer have fun at the beach during the Ticonderoga summer youth recreation program. The program offers a variety of activities along with a free breakfast and lunch program.

Ti firefighter honored Richard Clark has 60 years of service

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Richard Clark joined the Ticonderoga Fire Department to be with his friends. Six decades later, heÕ s still a firefighter.

“I joined when I was 18,” Clark recalled. “It seems like everyone did in those days. All my friends were members of the fire department. Now, the only ones left are Larry Crammond and myself.Ó Crammond, TiconderogaÕ s longest serving firefighter, has been a company member 66 years.

Clark was recently honored for his service to the Ticonderoga Fire Department. Ò HeÕ s still an active member of the department,” Mary Cunningham, Ti FD president, said of Clark. Ò Now heÕ s part of the fire police. He’s a valued member of our department.Ó To celebrate ClarkÕ s 60 years

of firefighting, the Ti resident was presented with a plaque from the department by Chief Jeff Burns; a plaque from the Essex County Board of Supervisors presented by Don Jaquish, county director of emergency services; a proclamation from the town of Ticonderoga given by trustee Jeff Cook; and a certificate from the Firefighters Association of the State of New York presented by Cunningham.

“Sixty years of continuous service is quite an accomplishment,Ó Cunningham said of Clark. Ò WeÕ re very proud of Dick.Ó During his tenure Clark has held almost every office in the department, serving as assistant chief and vice president along the way.

Clark admits he’s not as active as he once was with the department. Ò I canÕ t do the things I used to,Ó Clark said. Ò I still attend the meetings and I get to a fire now and then.”

Clark has enjoyed his career with the Ticonderoga Fire Department and encourages young people to become members. Ò ItÕ s a great department,Ó he said. Ò We need young people to keep it going. The fire department is always looking for new members.Ó Firefighting has changed over the years, Clark said, and so have the demands placed on firefighters.

“It’s hard to be a fireman today,” Clark said. “You have drills, the courses, OSHA training Ñ itÕ s time consuming and a lot of work.Ó

HAGUE Ñ The town of Hague will celebrate the Fourth of July in August.

Heavy rain and concerns about damage to the town beach caused the community’s traditional July 4th activities to be postponed this year. Hoping for better weather, Hague will celebrate independence Friday, Aug. 2, in the town park.

The band Calamity Rock will perform 6 to 9 p.m. The Hague Fire Department will sell refreshments and fireworks will go off

at dusk.

The delayed celebration may be a good thing,” Hague Supervisor Edna Frasier said.

“You had Hague, Ti, Bolton all having fireworks at about the same time,Ó Frasier said of July 4th. Ò This might be nice, to spread things out a little bit. WeÕ ll see how pwople like having fireworks on August.”

The scheduled July 4th events in Hague was postponed following a week of heavy rain. Ò The beach was a mess,Ó Frasier said. Ò WeÕ d had so much rain we didnÕ t want people with chairs and stuff on the beach. When you walked on the sand you woulf sink right in. We were afraid a big crowd would destroy the beach.Ó

Children participating in the Ticonderoga summer youth recreation program beat the heat by charging into Lake George. The program offers a variety of activities along with a free breakfast and lunch program.

The best $72,000 we’ll ever spend

E

very public school in every state should employ at least one school resource officer — and that position should be funded by the federal government.

It is time we put as much effort into protecting our kids as we do our politicians and airports.

And it is time that politicians stop using school shootings to further political agendas like gun control instead of formulating a meaningful plan that might actually stop some of these instances from happening altogether.

The answer should begin with a police presence in our schools.

Following the Dec. 14, 2012 elementary school shootings in Sandy Hook, Conn. that killed 20 children and six adults, parents of the Ticonderoga school district asked for just that — a full-time police officer assigned to the district.

Unfortunately, the Ticonderoga Police Department simply does not have the manpower to fulfill that request. At times, there is only one officer on duty, and having that officer patrolling only the school would not serve the needs of the community as a whole.

To the departmentÕ s credit, they have agreed to increase patrols at the districtÕ s three schools and will be there during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal.

ThatÕ s a start, as are security upgrades made by area schools such as locating cameras throughout buildings, locking doors and requiring identification to enter during school hours.

But is it enough? The answer, is no.

We pour billions of dollars every year into homeland security. We place full-body scanners at our airports. We surround our elected officials with nearly impenetrable systems and security details costing taxpayers millions.

And yet we canÕ t afford to protect our kids at school? Why should it be so difficult to protect our nationÕ s most precious and vulnerable people Ñ our children?

Ti PD Chief Mark Johns has the right idea. He suggested a full-time school resource officer be hired and assigned to the school.

The officer, Johns said, could serve several purposes, including security for the school as well as keeping a trained professional available in the event of an emergency.

“And school resource officers often build a rapport with young people,Ó he said. Ò That makes it easier for them to approach police when they have a problem or concern. That can

also help police with investigations.Ó The hurdle? It would cost $72,000 a year to add a school resource officer. Johns searched for grant money but came up empty-handed.

WeÕ re going to go out on a limb here and say the state spent more than $72,000 taxying Gov. Cuomo around in a state police helicopter two weeks ago so he could win his own rafting festival in Indian Lake.

Add to that what taxpayers shelled out to protect him while he was here — he had a security detail and entourage Ñ and you could probably pay the salary of a public resource officer for years to come with that kind of money.

ItÕ s about priorities, plain and simple. Or should we say lack thereof, and our school kids are getting the short end of the security stick.

It is time to put an end to that.

If the Obama Administration and our federal lawmakers really want to make a meaningful impact on decreasing the number or severity of school shootings, they should put their money where their mouths are and fund full-time resource officers for every public school in the nation.

Do we want shootouts in our schools? Of course not. But these would be professional officers patrolling our hallways, trained to use lethal force only as a last resort when the lives of children are at stake.

It could operate much like the Federal Air Marshal Service. The consequence of improperly discharging a firearm on a plane would undoubtedly be a major tragedy Ñ and yet the air marshals, because of their training and equipment, have an impeccable record.

We feel properly trained and equipped school marshals could serve in a similar capacity.

At the same time, they would be a deterrent to crime, just as air marshals are in our skies.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that bad guys with a gun are more apt to commit a crime where they aren’t going to encounter a good guy with a gun.

And, letÕ s be honest. WeÕ re never going to have total control of all firearms in this nation, and weÕ re not going to cure every mentally ill individual with a penchant for killing. There is always going to be evil in this world.

We spend an incredible amount of money attempting to keep that evil from our airports, train stations, government centers and other places of public assembly.

It is time we do the same for our schools. Ñ

Church thankful To the Times of Ti: This letter is firstly one of thanks. In the fall Cornerstone Alliance Church placed a clothes donation bin in the parking lot.

Since we have put it there, many people have donated clothing and bedding. We want to thank everyone who has done so and we want to inform you of where these resources go.

The organization is named American Clothing and they work to provide clothing for people in need both at home and abroad.

They use local businesses, churches and other organizations to gather the clothing from generous people like you. The organization then collects it and distributes it. Also, the organization pays the Church 5 cents per pound for the space.

At Cornerstone Alliance we made the decision to put the money back into the community. Approximately half of the money goes to the town food bank every month, the remainder goes to the Christian and Missionary Alliance Ò Great CommissionÓ fund which supports missionaries and people in need all around the world.

We would like to thank you again for your contributions and look forward to working together as a community in the future.

God bless you all.

Pastor Charlie Bolstridge Cornerstone Alliance Church Ticonderoga

Racial code words To the Times of Ti: Your viewpoint (Dan Alexander) of July 27 surprises and saddens me. As a journalist, how can you so blithely stereotype an entire race of people? You state Ò the problem is the never ending violence that young black males inflict against each other daily,” that Ò black America is murdering itself over drug turf, bruised egos etc.Ó I am truly astounded that the publisher of a newspaper would make such statements. Since when did violence become only an African-American trait? When did such reasons for violence become assigned only to blacks? And the only time white Americans are affected is when they are “caught in the crossfire.”

Whites are only innocent victims, never perpetrators?

You state that you think the president was Ò wrong to inject himself, his perspective.Ó It would seem that his perspective and life experiences are what white Americans like you, sir, would do well to listen to and try to understand.

Trayvon Martin was walking home. George Zimmerman fol-

Times of Ti - 7

Letters to the Editor lowed him (because he was black and fit your stereotype), carried a gun, got out of his car and confronted him. If Zimmerman had stayed in his car as instructed by police, wasnÕ t carrying a gun or Trayvon Martin had been white we, like many others, believe that this tragedy would never have happened.

Perhaps living in Ñ and writing for Ñ or a rather narrow racial milieu allows you to perceive all young black men as worthy of your stereotype. Ò Less fortunate urban population?Ó What, no whites live in cities and are poor?

Using these tired old racial code words is lazy journalism and not worthy of the publisher of the Times of Ti. Jeff and Charlene Kleiman Elizabethtown

Zimmerman verdict To the Times of Ti: After reading Rhea BeldenÕ s take on the trial of George Zimmerman I have to wonder where she was when the incident took place. Her letter speaks of facts that were not brought out about George Zimmerman and she states, Ò If the jury had not had their hands tied with only the facts they were allowed to use, Zimmerman would have been given a different verdict.Ó As one who followed the trial I felt facts pertaining to Trayvon Martin were withheld and that the prosecution did their very best to make Mr. Zimmerman out to be something that everyone who knew him disagreed with.

Without being there I must ask Ms. Belden how did she come up with saying Trayvon Martin was terrified or that he was fighting for his life. Trayvon MartinÕ s past was not that of a person who was terrified easily. According to his school records he was a bully, drug user and thief found with burglars tools and womanÕ s jewelry to name a few. He was sent to his father because his mother couldnÕ t handle him and he was thrown out of school.

On the night he was killed walking home with Skittles he was more than two blocks away from the store and his home begging the question, what was he doing walking through ZimmermanÕ s complex.

Unlike Ms. Belden I have a real problem drawing conclusions about Mr. ZimmermanÕ s actions! I have sat through many courts decisions and have seen what I thought were unjust one way or the other. This being said when a jury sits those on it are supposed to make decisions based on law not conjecture! The only witness to the whole confrontation in this case was George Zimmerman. He told the police Trayvon Martin was on top of him and was trying to get at the gun he was carrying in a legal manner. Given Trayvon MartinÕ s history of agitating and beating up people I canÕ t call Mr. Zimmerman a liar. This with the fact that Mr. Zimmerman had his head banged on concrete at least twice,

coupled with a broken nose, is evidence he was on the bottom as he stated and the prosecution tried very hard to say the opposite until the last days of the trial.

As a veteran I can attest to the fact that trauma to the head can surely cause one to believe they are in danger of loss of life. The police should have taken Mr. Zimmerman to a hospital before taking him to the police station as this type of injury has caused death in many instances on and off the battlefield!

For Ms. Belden to bring up first degree murder is a reach for someone who was not a first hand witness to what actually happened that night. It is unfortunate there are places where Neighborhood Watch is needed, but perhaps Ms. Belden has never lived where robbery and murder are a real threat. I have my own thoughts about what actually happened but they are not relevant because I wasnÕ t also wasnÕ t a witness.

Second-guessing what happened has put many innocents in jail and many guilty parties have been set free. Our jury system was put to use and a verdict was rendered as verdicts have been rendered in millions of cases. I see Ms. Belden acting as what she called George Zimmerman, a vigilantly! We have had too many people executed who were later proven innocent because of overzealous prosecutors and false accusations. The trial has ended and Mr. Zimmerman was found innocent. Now is the time for our prayers to go to everyone involved and for the conjecture to stop.

Gary P. Guido Ticonderoga

MLH praised To the Times of Ti: We who use the Moses Ludington Hospital are indeed fortunate. Recently our family had need of the services.

Because I have had experiences with several larger facilities lately, I feel really able to judge the quality of service. The nursing staff at our hospital is outstanding. We took my husband there hardly knowing anyone on duty anymore. To them he was just another very sick old man, we thought. However he was treated with the utmost loving care.

And as a family, we received much consideration. The final days of his life were cared for in a way which made our letting go much easier.

Each of us wants to thank the staff for their care of him and us. We could have never received better, more loving care in any larger facility. Thank so very much to each one of them.

Wet weather impacted early growing season for farmers

By Kasidi Armstrong

denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The significant amount of rainfall throughout the North Country this spring and early summer has had a negative impact on many of the farmers in the region.

The almost constant rain has stunted crops and has already caused a hay shortage.

Vermont recently broke the record for the highest rainfall in two consecutive months Ñ May and June Ñ with a total of 18.6 inches.

Plattsburgh and the surrounding towns saw an average of 10-20 inches in the same time frame.

In some areas of upstate New York, the rainfall has measured more than 25 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

In comparison, the statewide average annual rainfall is around 36 inches, or 3 inches per month.

That water has saturated fields, ruining crops and making it impossible to harvest hay.

Melissa Monty-Provost at Country Dreams Farm in Plattsburgh said sheÕ s been worried about the plants in her fields.

“They were flooded, stunted and the water was stagnate. We had to re-plant in some areas,Ó she explained. Ò But with this beautiful sun weÕ re starting to see some growth.Ó Monty-Provost said they have been concerned about blight, a fungus that grows on plants that withers leaves and turns them brown. Provost explained that she gets daily emails from Cornell University of where the blight is in this region, and itÕ s getting closer.

Tina Huestis of Huestis Farm in Ticonderoga is afraid the soggy weather will affect pollination and honey production Ñ her farmÕ s main source of income. Ò Bees donÕ t like heat and rain, and arenÕ t pollinating,Ó Huestis said.

With such a short growing season, Huestis believes her farm will be producing less produce and honey this year.

Malone farmer Tim Armstrong said the excessive moisture has negatively impacted farmers throughout the region, especially those in lower-lying areas. He believes the problem will raise the cost of feed, meat and produce.

“I went to check the fields a couple of days ago on my four wheeler, I should have brought

a boat,Ó Armstrong said. Ò Some places with higher ground, the corn has already been cut.

But everywhere else the plants are starting to yellow. Farmers with low- lying fields are seriously worried now. IÕ ll be lucky if I can cut in mid-August. If it stops raining.” Ò Some people canÕ t get to where they need to cut without tearing up the fields. If we can’t get corn or hay, then we canÕ t feed our cattle,Ó continued Armstrong. Ò We sometimes have to choose if getting some corn is worth tearing up the fields.”

The decision is usually a hard one. Farmers often must choose to let the growing corn overripen so they wonÕ t brutally damage their corn fields.

Armstrong said local farmers are already feeling the pinch. Ò The price for hay is already high. If I canÕ t get at least one good cut of hay, then IÕ ll have to sell my cows. I wonÕ t be able to feed them over the winter. But itÕ s not just me, itÕ s everyone. They all are starting to take note of what animals they might have to sell.Ó Now with the muggy summer heat, farmers will have to work double time to keep their dairy cows cool enough to still be able to milk, using fans and other means of cooling.

This will, in turn, drive up milk prices with the other meat and produce items, hurting the consumers as well as the farmer, Armstrong said.

Anita Deming, a Master Gardener with Cornell Cooperative Extension in Westport, said farmers are just now able to cut hay for the first time this season. Normally, farmers are able to get three or four cuttings in per season, but there simply is not enough growing time left to allow that type of harvest this year. Ò I think weÕ ll be lucky to get two cuttings in this year,Ó Deming said. Ò Farmers just havenÕ t been able to get their equipment out.Ó To make matters worse, much of the hay that is currently being cut is over-mature, meaning it has lost most of its nutrients. It may be able to sustain some animals like horses and beef cattle, but is not high enough in nutrients to keep dairy cows producing at optimum levels. The situation is creating the perfect storm to drive up the cost of beef and dairy, Deming said.

Vegetable farmers are fairing a bit better, es-

Many farmers have only just begun to harvest hay because of the rainy start to the growing season.

pecially those with greenhouses — like MontyProvost at Country Dreams Farm Ñ that are able to control the climate. But others, especially organic growers, are dealing with a number of problems from the high amount of moisture, including fungus, mold and bacteria. Ò We are calling it the year of the fungus,Ó Deming said.

Deming said the U.S. Department of Agriculture has yet to declare a disaster here, but that could certainly change if the forecast pattern

returns to rain.

“Farming is a difficult thing,” Deming said. Ò You are working in a natural system that is always weather dependent.Ó While many crops are well behind for this time of year, farmers do have products available. The best thing consumers can do at this point, Deming said, is patronize local farmerÕ s markets and buy local. To find one, visit www. adirondackharvest.com.

LGPC votes for mandatory boat inspection

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Mandatory inspection and decontamination of trailered boats for invasive species prior to launching into Lake George is now closer to reality.

The Lake George Park Commission voted Tuesday July 22 to establish such regulations, and their action was immediately hailed as a landmark decision by local lawmakers and environmental leaders.

After the unanimous vote was taken in the commissionÕ s meeting held at a Georgian Resort banquet room, Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson stepped up to thank the commissioners. Ò This is a monumental, celebratory moment,Ó he said. Ò This decision is a giant step forward.Ó Eric Siy of the Fund for Lake George followed with his reaction. Ò This is a great day for Lake George and all who care about her precious waters,Ó he said. Ò I applaud the commission for taking this valiant step.Ó For two years, environmentalists and area government leaders have warned that if a mandatory inspection program and boat washing program werenÕ t established, Lake George would become increasingly infested with fast-multiplying invasive mollusks and lakeweeds that would foul the waters and detract from recreation — as has occurred in other waterways around the nation.

Specifics of the draft legislation are to be posted on the commissionÕ s website on Wednesday July 23.

The commission’s decision for mandatory inspection next goes to a series of two public hearings this fall, then to Gov. Cuomo for the ultimate decision.

CuomoÕ s approval of the regulations is anticipated later this fall, local leaders said. Wick said that members of his agency was already discussing details of implementation and funding with the governor’s office. Ò WeÕ re going to go forward with all our resources to put the regulations into place,Ó Wick said.

Lake George Park Commission Executive Director Dave Wick (left) tells park commission members Tuesday July 23 about ongoing projects in Lake George intended to protect water quality and recreational uses. Minutes before, the commission voted unanimously to establish a mandated watercraft inspection program to protect Lake George from the threat of invasive species.

After-hours access to the lake and funding the annual program cost Ñ estimated at $700,000 Ñ are still to be determined, he said.

State Department of Environmental Conservation officials — balking last year on a mandated inspection program because they were wary of hindering sport-fishing and boat traffic — will be weighing in on how the program is to be implemented.

Wick predicted cooperation from DEC this time around, however.

“We’ll be working with DEC hand-in-hand,” Wick said.

Local leaders said such collaboration was likely, considering that DEC Region 5 Director Robert Stegemann serves on the Commission and he voted for the program.

The S.A.V.E. Lake George Partnership, consisting of local governments and environmental groups, has offered to contribute half the cost of the program, Wick said.

At TuesdayÕ s commission meeting, Dickinson spoke on behalf of the partnership Ñ he presented a document to the commissioners, calling for the program to include effective ways of making sure boats were clean before they were launched after hours, if such a practice was to be permitted. The after-hours proposals include either extended hours at selected launch sites, gating off the launch sites, and/or installing video monitoring equipment to assure that regulations were being followed.

These are among the many specifics that need to be worked out, Wick said, adding that a program could be in place next year.

A coalition of municipalities surrounding the lake has purchased three wash stations, and the town of Lake George is expecting to have one delivered soon, Bolton Town Supervisor Ron Conover said, noting that local government has already accomplished a lot to control invasives. He added that Tuesday’s decision culminated a lengthy process to get everyone, including sport-fishing groups, on board.

“It’s been a fine regional effort that brought together diverse groups with opposing opinions, getting everyone focused on the lake. ItÕ s been a great team effort,Ó he said. Ò Today is a great day for Lake George.Ó

“I’m optimistic this will come together in Ticonderoga.”

Dr. Steve Tyrell From page 1 others,Ó Tyrell said. Ò A number of colleges are looking at the proposal and are excited about becoming part of a consortium of colleges.Ó Those colleges will be known soon. The deadline for the initial grant application is Aug. 12. Ò IÕ m very excited about the potential NCCC applied technology curriculum at the LoweÕ s building,Ó Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney said. Ò A consortium of four colleges is discussing the possibilities of repurposing LoweÕ s to offer a variety of degree programs, including new green technology with a focus on biomass energy resources. Ò With this, the potential for additional incubator businesses would be very promising,Ó she added. Ò A CFA (state Consolidated Funding Application) application is expected to be submitted in August for the next round of the governorÕ s economic development funding. This project and the additional business opportunities it creates would have a great impact on our continuing efforts to revitalize Ti.Ó The Ticonderoga town board unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the NCCC proposal at its July meeting.

NCCC can not purchase the LoweÕ s building, according Chattie VanWert, Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance executive director. It will likely rent it, which means the building will remain on the property tax roll. Ò NCCC can not own property, though its foundation could, so we would like to enter into a lease agreement with whoever would be able to negotiate the purchase of the building from LoweÕ s, possibly private investors,Ó VanWert said. Ò Therefore it would not come off the tax rolls so it works for everybody.Ó Jim Major, chairman of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance board of directors, said the education center could bring students to Ticonderoga to study carpentry, plumbing, electrical trades, engineering, auto body work, diesel mechanics, marine technology and more. Ò For me, this is the most exciting potential project that TRA has been involved with,Ó Major said. Ò TRA started conversations with Dr. Steve Tyrell of NCCC in January of this year to develop the concept of a trade school (applied technology center) to be located within Ticonderoga.Ó Tyrell said the proposed applied technology center could serve up to 450 students and could open in the fall of 2016. It will have no impact on the existing Ticonderoga campus or its programs, Tyrell said.

The Ticonderoga program would be based on a similar pro-

gram at SUNY-Alfred, where Tyrell worked before coming to NCCC. The Alfred program offers college-level carpentry, masonry, electrician and other construction trade training. It also integrates energy conservation, alternative energy use and sustainable building design education and training into its academic programs, focusing on green building technologies in New York State.

Malaney, Major and other Ticonderoga representatives toured the Alfred facility this spring. Ò TRA visited Alfred to learn about their very successful trade school program,Ó Major said. Ò We learned that they have about 800 students being taught all of the trades from carpentry to electrical engineering. Their students mostly come from the western portion of New York leaving a void of services for the eastern half of New York and surrounding states and Canada.Ó Ò ItÕ s an amazing program,Ó Malaney said of Alfred. Ò ThereÕ s no reason we canÕ t have a similar program in the North Country.Ó Ò Alfred has a wonderful program; they do a great job,Ó Tyrell said. Ò I wanted to the Ticonderoga leaders to see, not just the curriculum, but the way itÕ s delivered. I wanted them to see how an applied learning program operates successfully.Ó Major said the additional students could generate $1.5 million in business for Ticonderoga.

“Besides its offering hands-on education and the potential of good paying jobs to our youth, it will also offer millions of dollars of food and retail purchases to the benefit of Ti’s business owners,Ó he said.

ThatÕ s good, but Major and others believe the greatest economic impact could be from spin-off industry.

Tyrell said the START-UP NY program could lead to businesses locating in Ticonderoga. That state program gives tax breaks to businesses aligned with the academic mission of a college campus, college or university.

Participating companies in START-UP NY will not pay any taxes for 10 years. Employees in participating companies will pay no income taxes for the first five years. Ò Biomass energy is a critical resource,Ó Malaney said. Ò The whole country is seeking to become less dependent on fossil fuels. Europe and other countries are much further along than we are.

Ò We hope this will allow us to attract additional businesses in the biomass energy industry,Ó she added. Ò We believe those companies will locate near an applied technology center specializing in biomass energy.Ó Malaney said there have already been preliminary discussions with such a company about locating in Ticonderoga.

She declined to name the firm.

The supervisor said the biomass energy facility could also help existing Ti businesses, like International Paper Co. Tyrell believes the proposed Dr. Steve Tyrell Ticonderoga applied technology center is realistic. Ò IÕ m optimistic this will come to fruition in Ticonderoga,Ó he said. “After we have the feasibility study we’ll look at the financials. Then the question is, is Ticonderoga the right place? I believe it is.Ó Major shares that optimism. Ò At this time, no contracts have been signed, but the sense is that with the support of TiÕ s business community, the support of the Ti town board and our political representatives, a new education and future employment source for our children is a good possibility,Ó he said. Ò Ultimately it will take about two years to pull together during which time IÕ m looking forward to a ground swell of support. NothingÕ s perfect, however this seems to me to be as close to perfect as one could hope for.Ó

enough to accommodate a feasible study.

Fund for Lake George Executive Director Eric Siy said the studyÕ s methods would be tracked by scientists worldwide. Ò This is unprecedented in the world, not just because of the technologies utilized, but because of the brainpower committed to protecting the lake,Ó he said.

Siy said the world-class technology that would be producing real-time visual modeling would help scientists and environmentalists understand the natural processes of aquatic organisms and their interaction with pollutants. Ò ThereÕ s no technology like this now anywhere in the world, Ñ this is not hype, itÕ s fact,Ó he said.

Siy said the lake health was at a critical juncture, and the study couldnÕ t have been undertaken at a better time. Ò The lake is now at the risk of irreversible decline,Ó he said. Ò But we have been alerted in time to react and not only curb but reverse this decline, using an unrivalled array of new tools.Ó All three partners in the project Ñ RPI, IBM and The Fund Ñ will be committing money towards the project, which is expected to get underway within two months.

NY Sec’y of State christens new Lake George wetlands

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Twisting a T-bar wrench, New York Secretary of State Cesar Perales opened an underground valve that from now on will divert stormwater Ñ that for decades was dumped into West Brook and ran untreated into Lake George Ñ into engineered wetlands designed to purify contaminated water.

Several dozen area leaders and environmental group officials applauded this ceremonial act that commemorated the culmination of a seven-year project — one of the stateÕ s largest of its kind Ñ to prevent silt and other pollutants from tainting one of the nationÕ s cleanest lakes.

The wetlands christening ceremony was held Tuesday July 30 off Rte. 8 just south of West Brook.

The wetlands are the main feature of the 12-acre Charles Wood Park, now under development in Lake George. The park is not only intended to clean up stormwater in its expansive wetlands, but it will be hosting fitness trails, nature walkways and scenic overlooks. A 2.5-acre festival area is to include a large portable stage, a childrenÕ s adventure area, an interactive water fountain and a skateboard park as well as ecological parking.

Perales smiled as he gazed over the wetlands, through which sewer runoff from state Rte. 9 will now flow — being filtered and purified by natural biological processes. Ò To protect Lake George Ñ one of the stateÕ s largest lakes and cleanest Ñ is very important not only to the local economy and environment, but to Gov. Cuomo, and to the state of New York,Ó he said.

Perales praised the joint effort between the local municipalities, environmental groups and state government, noting that the engineered wetlands was a solution devised Ò through the creativity and determination of local citizens,Ó he said. Ò This is a fabulous project, and it represents what government should be doing,Ó he continued.

Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson offered his thoughts after listening to PeralesÕ words. Dickinson had grown

During a ceremony held July 30 to christen the stormwater-purifying wetlands at Charles Wood Park in Lake George, New York State Secretary of State Cesar Perales (front) praises area citizens for their creativity and determination in devising a creative solution for stormwater pollution tainting southern Lake George.

up near the park land in the 1950s, when it had been a natural wetlands before being filled in with thousands of tons of dirt and developed into Gaslight Village, a site for a tavern, and a parking lot. Dickinson said it was a milestone to see the plot restored to a natural state, so wetlands can again work as they did before the intrusion of man. Ò This may be a ceremonial event, but the implications are tremendous,Ó he said.

Fund for Lake George Director Eric Siy also watched the ceremony. Ó This is another big step towards lasting protection of the lake we love,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s also a clear example of collaboration at

Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival celebrates 10 years

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Organizers of the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival will celebrate their 10th anniversary this year with 10 bands on Aug. 16-18 at the Ski Bowl Park.

As with most bluegrass festivals, the bulk of the attendees will be camping at the event, and the Ski Bowl can accommodate up to about 220 sites. Last year, with the festival being scaled back to three days instead of four, fewer campers showed up, but coorganizer Lloyd Burch is optimistic more will find their way to North Creek and theyÕ ll have upwards of 180 campers this year.

Festival board members will be looking for ways to add another day to next yearsÕ s schedule, which could entice more festivalgoers.

For now, plans for the 10th anniversary celebration is well under way, and many bands are new to the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival.

Past favorite Vern Young, who had originally signed up, wonÕ t be able to make it this year due to health issues. In his place will be the Seth Sawyer Band, of the Green Mountain State. Sawyer and his wife, Candi, organize the Jenny Brook Bluegrass Festival in Tunbridge, Vt. every June.

The other bands will be: Audie Blaylock & Redline, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, the Spinney Brothers, Smokey Greene, the Katahdin Valley Boys, HoneyGrass, Washington County Line, Beartracks, and Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters. Smokey Green is the only performer to appear on the Upper Hudson stage all 10 years.

Friday will feature an Ò open stageÓ set from 5:15 to 6 p.m.

Performances will be held from noon to 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16, 9 a.m. to 10:45 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sunday, Aug. 18.

In 2004, Joel Beaudin and Rusty Leigh founded the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival, according to Burch. Ò Joel was looking to sponsor an annual event for the community that would showcase the North Creek area while making

enough income to support local individuals and organizations, through donations,Ó Burch said Ò Rusty Leigh had long traveled the bluegrass circuit, developing many connections and contacts with the entertainers and fans, dreaming that one day a bluegrass festival might find a home in his community.”

Thus the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival was born. First they needed a location: the Ski Bowl Park. Then they needed a stage, so they hurried up and built one.

“Some might remember that the stage for the fledgling first festival wasnÕ t quite complete,Ó Burch said. Ò A newly formed band, named Acoustic Blue, was performing that first evening when it started to rain. While the band performed, Joel and Rusty created a plastic shelter over the stage, saving the day.Ó Burch says much has changed in the past 10 years. The group — Upper Hudson Festivals, Inc. — is now a 501-c-3 not-for-profit organization and gives back to the community and school. Organizers have continued to improve the stage, which normally lives at Riverfront Park and is used during other events throughout the year. The festival now has its own branding, with a logo, hats and T-shirts. And the board works with town leaders and state health officials to improve the Ski Bowl facilities.

The festival include a selection of vendors for souvenirs and food. Sound will be provided by Green Mountain Music, Pete and Cora Bolster. Don Sprague will be returning as the emcee.

The media sponsor is NCPR. And, best of all, people donÕ t have to camp in order to enjoy the festival. Day tickets are available: $25pp Friday, $30 Saturday and $15 Sunday. Also, itÕ s only $15pp each evening after 5 p.m.

Kids 15 and under are free with a parent.

Three-day tickets, purchased in advance, are $50pp before Aug. 9 or $60pp at the gate. Three-day tickets include camper parking, fresh water fill-up, and a “for extra fee” pump out Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. Please call for specific camper parking information.

To purchase advance tickets, send a check and an SASE to Upper Hudson Festivals, Inc., P. O. Box 276, North Creek, NY, 12853. For complete information, visit online at www.upperhudsonbluegrassfestival or call (518)-251-3141.

work.Ó State Assemblyman Dan Stec added similar thoughts.

“This project was about bringing people together, finding common ground and working toward solutions,Ó he said.

State Sen. Betty Little, who Perales said was Gov. CuomoÕ s Ò favorite senator,Ó praised the effort of curbing the stormwater pollution of southern Lake George, compounded by the construction of the I-87 Northway in the 1960s. Ò The whole area economy is fueled by Lake George, and keeping the lake clean forever and ever is our goal,Ó she said. Ò This is something future generations are going to benefit from.”

Mayor Blais welcomed Perales and praised the role of the state Department of State for their $1.2 million investment in the park development project. Ò The lake is our economic engine and it puts passion in our hearts,Ó he said. Ò This is another important, great day for Lake George Ñ and the entire region.Ó After a quick tour of the upper wetlands in the park, Perales was transported via trolley to Bolton Landing, where he reviewed BoltonÕ s relatively new $1.1 million town pier, with nearby rain gardens and restrooms. The Department of State contributed $495,000 toward developing these facilities, Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover said. Ò The pier put the Ô LandingÕ back in Ô Bolton Landing,Õ Ó he said, thanking Perales for his agencyÕ s investment.

Staycations a family tradition in the Adirondacks

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com

F

inances are tight, and we canÕ t afford to go away for vacation this summer.

Now what?

IÕ m sure there are many who are saying the same thing this year. ItÕ s frustrating, especially when youÕ re ready to take off and explore some unfamiliar territory. But instead of crying about it Ñ or worse, working through the vacation Ñ my wife and I will probably just argue about it.

Wife: What do you want to do?

Husband: I donÕ t know. What do you want to do?

Wife: I asked you first.

Husband: Let me think about it.

(Two hours later) Wife: So, what do you want to do?

Husband: I donÕ t know. What do you want to do?

Wife: You said you would think about it.

Husband: I did.

Wife: So, what do you want to do?

Husband: I donÕ t know. What is there to do?

(Two days later, weÕ re still arguing.)

Then I say, Ò LetÕ s go to Lake Placid.Ó ThereÕ s no brilliance in this idea; I drive through Lake Placid every day on my way to work. But I had to say something. After a heav-

ing sigh and a roll of my wife’s eyes, we’re talking about Ò going south,Ó which for us is North Creek, Lake George or Ticonderoga. A day trip.

Sometimes we talk about going north, which for us is Plattsburgh, but I’m not a big Plattsburgh fan. All she wants to do is shop, which I hate doing. And it’s not like we have any money, so Plattsburgh days are filled with walking around stores looking at stuff we canÕ t afford.

ThatÕ s why I like to get away.

But the main challenge for us Ñ aside from the funding — is to find a day trip no more than eight hours from our home in Saranac Lake (we can’t always find a dog sitter). It’s a three-hour round-trip to North Creek or Ticonderoga, a little more than that for Lake George. ItÕ s an hour to Blue Mountain Lake, a little more than that for Indian Lake. So that gives us a maximum of five hours to explore a territory in the central or southeastern Adirondacks.

Another challenge is to find activities that fit our capabilities and tastes equally. And then we have to find places we’ve never seen before, which can be difficult in the Adirondacks but certainly not impossible.

In this issue, weÕ ve listed a number of places to see and things to do for families in a similar situation. WeÕ ll be looking at it closely.

Happy staycation!

Ò ItÕ s not all about the money,Ó Johnson said. Ò A big part of it is to get people excited and educated about the Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society. Ò ItÕ s kind of ironic that we started out to help the ACS (American Cancer Society) and now theyÕ re helping me,” she added. “I’m certainly benefitting from what they do.Ó Sponsoring the Relay for Life of Crown Point are Crown Point Telephone, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union, Griffith Energy of Port Henry, Boyea’s Deli of Port Henry, Crown Point Central School, GerawÕ s OK Septic Service, Mountain Lake Services, the Essex County SheriffÕ s Department, Kubricky Construction, the Crown Point Fire Department and DJ Marc Potter.

Relay organizers want their event to be regional.

It carries the Crown Point name because the American Cancer Society requires relays to have the name of the host community. Ò Last year we had people from Ticonderoga, Westport, Moriah, Putnam,Ó Pertak said. Ò WeÕ d love to get more people to come. The more the better.Ó Walking overnight can be difficult, Johnson said, but thatÕ s the point. Ò The relay is supposed to represent the struggle of a cancer patient,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s hard to be up walking at 3 a.m., but itÕ s hard to go through chemo treatments. Cancer is difficult, so is the relay. Ò Cancer never sleeps,Ó Johnson said. Ò For one night, we donÕ t either.Ó Assisting Johnson and Pertak on the Relay for Life of Crown Point are committee chairs Lloyd LaMotte, James Johnson, Penny Comes, Ursula Thompson, Beth Harp, Sandy Ross, Yvonne DuShane, Michaela Comes, Randy Pertak, Kolby Pertak, Holly Rollins and Brenda Speshock.

School supplies being collected in Moriah Courtney Waldron undertakes project

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ A Port Henry woman has decided to make life a little easier for Moriah Central School students and their parents this fall.

Courtney Waldron is collecting school sup-

plies for local children.

“I am doing this because I know how expensive school supplies can be and sometimes it can be a little difficult to meet the requests of your list,Ó Waldron said. Ò Every time I would go to Staples or Wal-Mart I would pick up a few things. Then I decided that I wanted to fill a book bag for a child. But then I kept thinking how nice it would be to be able to help more than one child, more than one family. Ò So with some discussion with my friends and family they gave me their support and so

I decided to run with it,Ó she said. Ò My plan is currently to collect as many supplies as possible and then present them to the school because I figure the teachers and staff know better than I do who is in need or who needs what.Ó Collection boxes can be found at The Grover Hills Deli, Dollar General, Glens Falls National, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union and Moriah Pharmacy.

The school supply drive will continue through Labor Day. Waldron is seeking pens, pencils, erasers,

color pencils, highlighters, washable markers, crayons, dividers, pencil boxes, pocket folders, glue sticks, safety scissors, notebooks, book covers, book bags, scientific calculators, binders, rulers, pencil sharpeners, white out, tissues and hand sanitizer. Ò We want to help our Vikings get off to a great start by donating the supplies they need for the school year,Ó Waldron said.

For information on the school supply drive call Waldron at 645-0677.

Schroon Lake Association to meet Friday, Aug. 9

Pat Rommer, right, receives the gift basket prize for “Best Shawl” from Valerie Pachla, tea planner, at the ninth annual Schroon-North Hudson Historical Tea Luncheon held on July 17 at the home of Marshall and Sandi Carlozzi on Paradox Lake. Since next year is the 10th anniversary of this event, a special site has been selected and will be announced to all attendees of the past teas by the fall of 2013 or call Pachla at 532-0115 for further information.

ceive to re- channel storm water discharge.

“Storm water overflow in town and on our roads is a major contributor to excess salt and phosphates in out watershed,Ó said SLA Lake Manager Steve LaMere.

The meeting will also feature a presentation on the state of the town of Schroon by Supervisor Michael Marnell and election of officers and board members of the SLA. Ò The battle over invasives and water quality is as big a battle as was the fight over the attempted elimination of Schroon and Paradox Lakes which founded our organization 102 years agoÓ

remarked Roger Friedman, SLA vice president and Schroon town board member.

“Our lakes are critical to our community and it takes a community effort to protect them.Ó said Granger. Ò That is why we have invited ESSLA and the Paradox Lake Association members to attend. We are all in this together. We are working together to make a difference here.Ó The supervisors of all three towns in the Schroon Lake watershed Ñ Schroon, Horicon and Chester Ñ have also been invited.

SCHROON LAKE Ñ The former Grand Union grocery store in Schroon Lake is now a Tops Friendly Market.

Tops, a full-service grocery retailer in upstate New York, northern Pennsylvania and western Vermont, officially unveiled 12 former Grand Union stores in eastern and northern New York under the Tops banner at grand re-opening ceremonies recently.

The new Tops branded stores include stores in Saratoga, Warrensburg, Warren, Franklin, Essex, Clinton and Fulton counties.

Participating in same-day celebration ceremonies at these stores were senior Tops company officials, district and store managers, and local community officials and charities. Ceremonies featured the announcement of capital improvements made at each store, as well as donations made on behalf of Tops to various local charities through the companyÕ s Ò Living Here. Giving HereÓ community partnership program.

The 12 Grand Union stores were part of a 21-store acquisition that Tops entered into an agreement for in July 2012. The name change of the stores to Tops Friendly Markets was included in a rebranding effort announced in which all former Grand Union stores would be changed to Tops through the end of 2013.

The former Grand Union stores now operating under the Tops brand banner are located in Cornith, Warrensburg, Bolton Landing, Saranac Lake, Saranac Lake, Elizabethtown, Chestertown, Peru, North Creek, Ausable Forks, Schroon Lake and Northville.

For more information about Tops Markets, visit the companyÕ s website at www.topsmarkets.com.

Benefits Johnsburg Dollars for Scholars program, students

By McKenna Kelly

newsenterprise@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ The 11th annual Race the Train event will take place on Saturday, Aug. 3 at 8 a.m. As the Johnsburg Dollars for ScholarsÕ biggest fundraiser, race draws participants from all over the United Sates to North Creek for a competition that is truly one of a kind.

Race the Train starts in Riparius and follows River Road to the Saratoga and North Creek Railway Station, an 8.4-mile trip.

Participants try to best the train as it travels the same course.

The first 75 people to cross the finish line receive medals to commemorate their achievement.

Last year, the race celebrated its 10th anniversary, and participation was at a record high; 349 people competed, many with families that rode the train and cheered for their loved ones along run. There were also some other special changes to commemorate the event, such as the addition of water stations along the route with costumed attendants Ñ many of them Johnsburg students Ñ to cheer on the runners. This kind of support is part of what sets Race the Train apart from other racing events. The beauty of the track itself is also a huge draw. Ò ItÕ s a unique experience,Ó said participants Peter and Nicki

Moran of Waterford. This father-daughter team relished the chance to Ò run alongside a train in the beautiful Adirondacks.Ó Last year, 69 people in total beat the train. Long-time winner Paul Allison of Jericho, Vt. came in first with a time of 46:59.

Carly Wynn of Queensbury came in first out of the female racers, with a time of 56:45. There are also first, second, and third place prizes within 5-year age categories.

This year runners can register online both online and in person. Online registration is currently open on Active.com. Simply search “Race the Train” on Active’s homepage to find registration information. Registration forms are also available at www. adirondackrunners.org. Runners can register in person on Aug. 2 between 5 and 7:30 p.m., and on Aug. 3 between 7 and 7:45 a.m. Preregistration costs $28 for adults and $20 for students. On race day, registration costs $35 across the board. Spectators may reserve seating on the train by calling (518) 618-359.

Race the Train has become an essential part of Johnsburg Dollars for ScholarsÕ funding. All the proceeds from the event go towards scholarships for Johnsburg Central School seniors.

Awards have been as much as $5,000 in the past. Money Received from Dollars for Scholars can be used for any aspect of a studentÕ s education, from text books to tuition payments. ItÕ s a huge benefit to graduating seniors, especially if they attend a college that matches Dollars for Scholars awards.

For more information, call Tracy Watson at (518) 251-0107, or email Jill Pederson at pederson6000@roadrunner.com.

TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga Central School District has scheduled medical clearances for its fall athletes.

Physical exams for all athletes for the 2013-14 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 an athlete did not have a physical exam this spring or if they have questions 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 at the 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 their forms. Athletes will not be able to practice until the forms have been completed and the nurse has cleared them.

Medical clearances will be held Friday, Aug. 16, at the high school nurses office at 7 a.m. for varsity and junior varsity football, 7:30 a.m. for varsity and junior varsity soccer, and 8 a.m. for boys and girls cross country.

If any athlete cannot make the Friday date or does not have the proper paperwork, the high school nurse will be available 7 to 8 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 19.

Modified athletes will have sports clearances for football, soccer and cross country Wednesday, Aug. 21, 5 to 7 p.m. at the Ti Middle School nurse’s office.

The school nurse will be available on Thursday, Aug. 22, 9 to 10 a.m. at the middle school nurses office for anyone who was not able to make the Aug. 21 clearances or did not have the proper paperwork.

Adirondack Made logs ready for the mill!

Photo by Rich Redman

American made organic heat

N

o matter where you live, the saying seems to be, Ò wait a minute and the weather will change.Ó From the west coast to the eastern Adirondacks, they all say it!

The 90 degree steamy days seem to be over, and fall is slowing working its way to our region. It wonÕ t be very long before the winds of winter blow, the temperature will be below zero and we will have something new to complain about. Too hot, too cold; it doesn’t matter. Someone will complain. It’s human nature to complain about natureÕ s way.

I look forward to winter. ItÕ s a time to slow down and enjoy a stack of good books and enjoy

By Rich Redman the warmth of a wood stove burning and churning out BTUÕ s to heat the house. Reading during the summer when thereÕ s work to do, is something I just canÕ t do. ThereÕ s always something to do, like cutting, hauling and stacking firewood during the long summer days.

It may be warm today, but you really need to be thinking about getting a load or two of fire wood delivered to your door for tomorrow.

Yes, wood is locally produced, organic, renewable and sustainable heat that is in tune with nature. There is nothing like walking into the house after a cold day out in the woods. The hot dry air warms like no other heat.

Fire wood from local trees is a renewable resource fuel that when burned, releases carbon monoxide. However, when a tree is cut, new growth starts from the area where the old tree stood and shaded the ground. Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon is then taken back out of the atmosphere, and utilized by the growing trees. There is a natural balance between what is released and what is stored if a woodlot stays a woodlot.

Flipping a switch and letting the oil burner make my heat is not what I like for many reasons.

One of which is, that stored carbon burned as oil, that was made eons ago is released and the balance of stored carbon versus released, is broken. When we burn fuel oil and gas along with a list of other things that release carbon we are releasing more carbon than we store, and that is where the problem is.

Secondly, when we have acres and acres of unmanaged woodlands around us and we heat with oil produced in some foreign nation, well that really doesnÕ t make much sense to me. We transport oil from a country 1,000 miles away to heat our homes when all we have to do is look out the window and see thousands of acres of potential fuel if managed properly. Not only would we get fuel, we can create wildlife habitat, have managed sugar bushes, and other fruit and nut tree crops.

I support the oil companies enough when I fill my car and truck with gas. I really donÕ t want to spend all my money on foreign fuel when I can spend it on Adirondack, organic, locally grown heat. With the proper woodstove and chimney setup, you can enjoy wood heat in your house and know that you are supporting locally grown fuels and businesses.

Whether you get cord wood delivered or have a wood pellet stove, you are spending your hard earned money locally. That is important in keeping an Adirondack community alive. Far too many small businesses have left or gone out of business because of the lack of community support. Many Adirondack communities are based on agriculture and forestland ownership. Keeping them profitable helps keep communities thriving. We have far too many empty store fronts and vacant buildings in our area. It’s easy to blame Walmart or some other box store, but it all boils down to the consumer. You make the final decision where to buy. I am not opposed to Ò wally worldÓ or McDonaldÕ s, or any other business trying to make a living. I shop at some of these places but I also try to buy from farmers markets, local fire wood suppliers and local lumber yards.

Our society is leaning toward locally produced vegetables and grass-fed meats, as well as other products. That is good. We need to do more though!

We must support our local industry by purchasing local agriculture and forest products.

We need to look at more locally produced organic heat for our homes, schools, and businessÕ s. Economics plays a serious part in purchasing fuel and it seems every time we lean toward an alternative fuel, the price of oil drops just enough to make the alternative, a non-alternative.

In the long run though, we really need to think about what will be stable for our area. Forest products and agriculture are our key industries so letÕ s support them as much as possible. Buy your food from a local farmer, buy your fire wood or wood pellets from local suppliers and build as much as possible from local woods. Have a local carpenter or cabinet maker build your next piece of furniture. Let’s keep the money close to home where the profits will improve our neighborhoods and our children’s lives. Let’s not send our hard earned dollars elsewhere!

Make sure you have a proper woodstove and chimney that meets local codes and is inspected before you start to heat with your local organic woods. Modern stoves have fewer emissions than old styles and are very efficient for heat production. Work with a chimney sweep to maintain your chimney and stove so you and your family stay safe.

Conservation

Conversations

Ribbons of fog often cap the summit of Whiteface Mountain during the early morning hours. The sight offers a reminder of what’s to come as the summer season segways towards autumn. The Adirondack summer has always been a dwarf on the annual calendar.

Ahhh…summertime, and the livin’ is easy

A

s I grow older, it seems the summer season has become much more fleeting than it was in my younger days, when the prospect of returning to a classroom was a constant lingering threat.

While I understand the rationale behind the concept that a person’s perception of time is altered as they age Ñ It is an odd fact that while some summer days appear to last forever; the weeks and months seem to move faster than a dollar sign at the gas pump.

The inescapable truth is the duration of our days is extended as a result of the quantity of activities we manage to pack into them. A long day may include a morning hike, some swimming, some diving, a lazy canoe float and a bit of casting even if the fish don’t want to cooperate.

But when the fish do decide to provide a bit of entertainment, time stops for a while; or it can even allow one to regress. IÕ ve known many men, and ladies for that matter, who are reduced to the state of giddy, little kids at the mere shadow of a trout approaching their fly.

This pattern of activity based regression is in fact the definition of recreation, which when broken down is simply to recreate, our spirit, our enthusiasm, and our reasons for living.

Some folks have a need to achieve in order to get their dose of recreation, of which the recent Ironman USA is a classic example. Run, bike, and swim is fine for some, while many others prefer to drink, grill and snooze. To each his own, sport.

IÕ ve also noticed the lack of time IÕ ve spent in camp this summer has had a drastic effect on my understanding of the season.

There have been far fewer nights spent around the fire, watching the sparks intermingle with a million stars overhead, as fireflies continue to blink and flicker off and on in the pitch blackness.

The rivers have remained quite high this season, and their waters have been rather cool. However, lake temperatures are now comparable to bathwater and the rope swings have been busy.

The night skies have remained as brilliant as I can ever recall, and the morningÕ s fog equally as thick. The recent cool nights have offered up numerous examples of natureÕ s extraordinary ribbony masterpieces, which have been as fascinating to view from the valleys as from the mountaintops.

Such scenes are always compounded by the appearance of a full moon, a brilliant sunset or other natural attractions.

Although autumn will always remain my favored season for a number of good reasons, summer chases right along in a hard second.

It is a youthful season, and one of the most fleeting available in our little neck of the woods. Although it brings with it a myriad of inconveniences which include muggy heat, rain, bugs, clogged roads and busy streets; the summer always serves to brings back our youth. And I wouldnÕ t trade that for all the Bluebird days of autumn, winter or spring combined.

Where have the butterflies gone?

For me, one of the surest signs of the summer season has always been the preponderance of butterflies in our backyard, which is overgrown with a thick swath of milkweed plants.

To date, I have not witnessed a single monarch in the air or on the plants. Nor have I seen a single yellow swallowtail butterfly, sipping water along the edge of any stream, brook, creek, river or seep.

Often, while wading the Boquet over the years, it has

become quite common to encounter a rabble of swallowtails gathered along a wet riverbank. It is always a joy to witness a rabble take to the air, and float along gently on the air currents of a river corridor.

I never realized how much I enjoyed the sight, until itÕ s been gone. I do hope it is just a cycle with the swallowtails.

However, the dire situation of the monarchs may be a far different matter.

Entomologists have discovered a dramatic drop in monarch populations all across North America. It is believed to be the result of last yearÕ s combination of severe weather events, which included droughts, high winds, heavy rains and a prolonged cold snap during the spring migration.

As a result of last summerÕ s droughts and the spring seasonÕ s rains, the massive monarch migration, which extends from Mexico to Canada, was decimated. According to various reports, there is a very real possibility that no monarchs will be found in the northern air this summer, which would be very sad.

However, if you do need to see some monarchs, I highly recommend The Wild CenterÕ s newest movie, “Flight of the Monarchs,” which documents the popular butterfly’s incredible annual journey from the mountains of Mexico to the fields of North America. It is available daily at 11 a.m., noon and 4 p.m.

The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, aka The Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks, showcases the natural world of the region with a quality comparable to the Adirondack Museum’s display of the human history. They are two facilities that make me wish for more rainy days.

“Normally we have hundreds of millions of Monarchs in Quebec and Eastern Canada, and now we have 90 percent of that at least,” noted Montreal Insectarium’s entomologist, Maxim Larrivée in a recent interview that was published online.

In fact, monarch populations have continued to suffer a severe drop in population during the past seven years, with as few as one-fifteenth the numbers that were in the air just two decades ago.

The familiar black and orange species has been in serious decline for a while, and if populations continue the downward spiral; monarchs may no longer be a familiar fixture of the North Country summer.
