The project will help Mildon earn the Silver Award, the highest award available to Cadette scouts. Ò I think this is a wonderful project,Ó said Bill Larrow, Moriah school superintendent, who is assisting Mildon. Ò Displaying these bells to the public will bring back a lot of memories for many people and encourage others to learn more about the Mineville and Moriah schools. TheyÕ re part of our heritage.Ó As part of her project, Mildon has researched the history of the old schools and the bells.

Mineville, Moriah and Port Henry schools ceased to exist Feb. 21, 1968, when they combined to create the present Moriah Central School. The school bells have been in storage since that day. Ò I am very passionate about this project because I have many family members who attended both of these schools,Ó Mildon, who will enter seventh grade at Moriah this fall, said. Ò I am hoping to keep the memories alive that these schools once existed and want others from my community to have the opportunity to learn about the historic meaning behind these bells.Ó

Fire ravages Ticonderoga home Outlet drive house burns

TICONDEROGA Ñ Investigators are seeking for a cause of a fire that damaged a Ticonderoga house early Monday, Aug. 5.

A neighbor called 911 at 6:44 a.m. to report the blaze at 80 Outlet Drive.

The house is owned by Ron and Barb OÕ Neill and leased to Vincent Gerardi.

The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen area. Ò When we arrived one end of the house, near the kitchen area, was fully involved,Ó said Matt Watts, Ticonderoga first assistant fire chief. Ò It was the second story on the southeast corner.Ó The homeÕ s first floor is a garage and storage space, Watts explained. The second floor is the residential area.

The blaze destroyed the buildingÕ s roof

and caused Ò significantÓ damage inside, Watts said. Ò There were no real problems; everything went they way we train,Ó Watts said. Ò There were no injuries. Everyone did an outstanding job and we want to thank all our mutual aid companies for their help.Ó About 40 firefighters from Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Putnam and Chilson fire departments battled the fire. The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad, Ticonderoga Police Department, Essex County Emergency Services Air 1 unit and Essex County fire investigators were on scene.

The Hague Fire Department was on standby at the Ti fire station. National Grid responded to cut power to the building.

The American Red Cross also responded and is assisting Gerardi.

Ti chamber to hold mixer Inter-Lakes Health to host Aug. 21 event

Wild Character Snake, Rattle and Roll The Timber Rattlesnake is the Adirondack Park’s only poisonous snake. For a viper, it’s pretty laid back. The rocky highlands above Lake Champlain are the northern extreme of its range, which dips to the Gulf Coast of Texas. Here, it sleeps in, coming out around May, a month after its southern cousins. It stays sleepy for a while, then eventually orders rodents, smaller snakes and amphibians for dinner. Timber rattlers rarely strike at a person unless cornered and usually issue several warning rattles. www.exploringnature.org There are no recorded deaths from wild rattlesnake bites in the Adirondacks. Still an Endangered Species, it’s illegal to harm one, so don’t even think about it. Another reason we’re so...

County fairs an important part of summer

T

he North Country is now in the midst of the annual tradition that is all about fried dough, Ferris wheels and derby

cars.

Counties throughout the state are holding their annual county fairs and festivals throughout the months of July and August.

Clinton County and Essex County have already wrapped up their shows for 2013, while Franklin County and Addison County, Vt., run through this weekend and the Washington County Fair kicks in on Aug. 19 and runs through Aug. 25.

For many communities, the county fair represents the peak of summer activities. The provide a chance for people to come together on an annual basis and provides a chance for young and old to show their crafts and promote their passions. It gives families a less expensive option when it comes to providing entertainment like rides and shows for their children then one might find at other theme parks in the region.

Most of the fairs here continue to focus on the world of agriculture, which is making a strong comeback. The world of the local farmer has experienced a renaissance of sorts during the past 10 years, and while there are still plenty of dairy farms with cattle to show and display, local produce farms are also given a county-wide stage to show and sell what they harvest.

4-H and Future FarmerÕ s of America organizations build their entire year around the one week every year that they have to shine at the county fair. Whether it is through competition like horse and cattle shows or displaying what they were able to do as a group, the county fair is the biggest stage that they may have the entire year. Most also conduct a major portion of their fundraising at fairs through raffles and dairy stands, selling milk, ice cream and more to help fair-goers beat the summer heat.

Fairs have also become a stage for local talent. From daily concerts for bands and performers, Ò living the dream,Ó to talent search competitions for all ages, fairs give kids and adults alike a chance to step into the spotlight in a fun and family-friendly arena.

• Letters can be sent to its offices, 14 Hand Avenue, PO Box 338, Elizabethtown, 12932 or e-mailed to johng@denpubs. com • Letters can also be submitted online at

At the same time, we would be remiss if we did not take a moment to thank all of those who make these events possible. A lot of times, all fair boards and fair leaders hear is negativity, but we want to commend them for the work they do. While the lay person only sees what happens the couple days before the fair opens through the few days past closing, members of local fair boards and agricultural societies start planning for their week of events almost as soon as the gates close. In Essex County, organizers were talking about midway and fair date options for 2014 two days before the 2013 fair ended.

It’s a lot of hard work to find the perfect fit of carnival, entertainment and attractions at the right price, and it seems the only time anyone speaks up is when — in their opinion — that fit is not right.

Not us. We want to thank you all for making the summer a little more fun for everyone at prices that are much more reasonable then any other venues can offer. Your hard work and dedication to your county and those you serve is sincerely appreciated.

We canÕ t let this editorial end without a quick word out to the Essex County Board of Supervisors. WeÕ ve heard the rumblings about shuttering the 165-year-old fair and they are quite concerning. The Essex County Fair is vital to the core of what makes Essex County a rich tradition of agriculture and conservation. Many people have sacrificed hours, blood, sweat and personal funds to make the fairgrounds and fair what it is today. ItÕ s a tradition that needs to be embraced, not used as a political chip. It should be an event organizations like the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST) promote and support financially as it is part of the region they represent as the county tourism advocate.

Let us speak for many who would tell you, we want this fair, we need this fair.

So to all, get out and enjoy some time at the fair Ñ any fair Ñ and thank those who work so hard to make them possible. Ñ

Letters to the Editor

To the Times of Ti: The purpose of this letter is to inform Ticonderoga gardeners and flower lovers that you have real friends here: the Ticonderoga Police Department and Officer Dale Quesnel.

In May a woman entered a gated area of our backyard while we were home and took some decorative garden items as well as a hanging basket and individual plants purchased by the Carillon Garden Club for use around town. My husband and I were shocked by this incident and didnÕ t realize until later anything was missing. We didnÕ t report it because we felt it was too late, the woman was gone, and it wasnÕ t a major burglary. Just this past weekend two planters were taken from our front walkway.

The theft of my favorite planters was too much to overlook. I stopped Officer Quesnel to report it but he was one step ahead of me. He had already recovered my planters and was going through the neighborhood to see if there were more thefts. When we went to the police station to pick up the planters, I discovered the hanging basket taken in the first burglary was there. It had also been removed from the home of the woman arrested for the theft of my planters. Now if I could get back my favorite birdhouse!

Officer Quesnel was also the officer who quickly solved the cases of the vandalism and needless destruction of the beautiful flower boxes on the bridge last summer. These senseless acts enraged many. Thank you for your outstanding detective work!

Although these cases may seem trivial to some readers, I must note that the beauty of our townÕ s public and private planted areas, gardens, and planters give us all serenity and joy. My faith in our choice of a retirement town has been restored, and I sleep well knowing our backyard is once again a safe place.

Flippancy Fest aids scholarship

To the Times of Ti: The 10th annual Flippancy Fest Ð John Costello Memorial Coffeehouse – was held at the Hague Beach (thanks to the town of Hague for the beautiful venue) on July 26 and was blessed with good weather, great performers, a wonderful audience and a true feeling of JohnÕ s spirit.

JohnÕ s brother, Tavish, and his Ò Maw and Paw,Ó Karen and Tim, would like to sincerely thank Kate Norcross and Sydney Heinle for helping organize this yearÕ s event and wish them good fortune in life as they receive the John Costello Memorial Scholarship for 2013. We also give our thanks to Silver Bay YMCA for sponsoring the Scholarship Fund, for supplying the delicious food and beverages and the sound system and Carolyn Close for her valuable assistance. Thank you to all who had a hand in the preparations.

What makes Flippancy Fest each year is the awesome talent that fills our senses with feelings. The drumming, the poetry, the guitars, cello, piano, dulcimer and the songs make us all more alive. A touch of humor and splash of sentiment topped off the evening. Special thanks to all the performers. We greatly appreciate all the donations to The John Costello Memorial Scholarship Fund, a life enrichment award given yearly. Donations can be directed to Silver Bay YMCA of the Adirondacks, Silver Bay 12874.

Town workers praised

To the Times of Ti: I just wanted to say thank you to the expert town workers who took away the branch that fell on Burgoyne Road a couple of weeks ago. We thought it would take much longer as it was so large, but they were so quick and efficient, it was wonderful.

North Country Community College project could aid Ti police Ti PD could locate its office in former Lowe’s

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The proposed North Country Community College expansion could mean big changes for the Ticonderoga Police Department.

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

The building is 130,000 square feet. NCCC plans to use about half of it, leaving the remainder of the building for commercial or other use.

NCCC would like the Ticonderoga Police Department, which has been looking for a new office, to use a portion of the space, according to Chattie VanWert, Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance executive director.

VanWert said 5,000 square feet could be used by Ti police for 10 years rent free. Ò I think this could be a wonderful opportunity for our police department and our town,Ó Ti Supervisor Deb

Malaney said. Ò I think that building would be a great location for our police department.Ó Mark Johns, Ti police chief, agrees. Ò ThatÕ s the fastest growing area in town,Ó Johns said. Ò I think it would be an excellent location for us.Ó Citing structural concerns with the current police office on Burgoyne Road, town officials have been searching for a new police headquarters for the last five years.

In the spring of 2012 it looked like the Ti PD could move into the vacant Rite Aid building on Montcalm Street, but a state law was discovered that placed the plan on hold.

Malaney explained the old Rite Aid building is larger than what the town needs for its police department. The town had planned to rent the building and sub-lease some of the extra space to help defray the rental costs. Ò We canÕ t do it,Ó Malaney said. Ò ThereÕ s a state law that prevents us from renting more space than we need. We canÕ t sub-lease.Ó

A citizens committee Ñ that includes Johns, trustee Steve Whitford, Ross Kelley, Rolly Allen, Margaret Lauman, Dave Woods and Sharon Reynolds Ñ had recommended leasing the former Rite Aid building and renovating it.

Ticonderoga officials have long discussed moving the police, but accelerated the discussion in December 2009 when structural issues arose at the police headquarters.

The nearly 70-year-old concrete block structure on Burgoyne Avenue developed a large crack from the foundation up the center of the back wall raising questions about the buildingÕ s future.

The police commission previously investigated other possibilities and found them lacking. The Armory was excluded for police use since it houses youth activities and police donÕ t want children and criminals in the same building. The downstairs of the Community Building was excluded because of lack of space and parking.

Decadence Ñ will hold a CD release party for Ò Tales From the MountainsÓ at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, at the Copperfield Inn ballroom on Main Street in North Creek.

Gadway is a Schroon Lake resident. Ò Tales From the MountainsÓ is an EP they recorded at Oceanway Studios on Music Row in Nashville. It was engineered by Patrick McMakin, who has worked with many great country musicians, including Willie Nelson, Brooks and Dunn, Dolly Parton and N Sync. Ò Tales from the MountainsÓ is a cycle of songs that tell a wild and vivid tale of life, lust, love, and death. It has already been praised by some of the biggest names in country music as Ò new, fresh, and unlike anything youÕ ve heard.Ó New tracks Ñ Ò Too Much FunÓ and Ò Dogtown CadillacÓ Ñ have already received airplay from numerous radio stations and have had an overwhelming response from listeners and fans.

••• TIMES OF TI •••

This CD is a followup to the duo’s first album, Ò Love Loud,Ó which was released in the summer of 2012.

Gadway and Cole formed Decadence in 1996.

They started out as a cover band playing in North Creek and their local area of the Adirondacks. After a brief hiatus, they reunited with a new idea as to what Decadence would become.

Gadway’s strong voice and country influence mix with Cole’s blues and rock influences. The band also includes Chris Schempp, Tommy Ryzuk and Matt Dower.

Since June, theyÕ ve regularly played in New York City at notable venues such as Tammany Hall, and the Shanghai Rock Hotel. TheyÕ ve also done strings of shows in Nashville, Orlando and Tampa, Fla. While band members are excited about their upcoming release of Ò Tales from the Mountains,Ó they are still hard at work in the studio completing their full length album.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Mark Whitney of Schroon will have to get right to work in his new job.

Whitney, who was approved by the Essex County Board of Supervisors to be the new Democratic Commissioner at the Essex County Board of Elections, will take the job on the verge of several September primaries throughout the county that will be the prelude to the Nov. 5 General Election.

Whitney wasted no time getting to work, as he was on the job Aug. 5, the same day he was appointed. Ò I appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve the county and I am grateful to the Democratic Committee for selecting me unanimously and the board of supervisors for confirming my appointment,Ó Whitney said.

Whitney had previously been working in the Board of Elections office as a clerk/technician, which gives him a knowledge of the department, literally from the ground floor up,” he said.

“Allison (McGahay, Republican Commissioner) and I actually started in the office at about the same time and we compliment each others skills very well,Ó Whitney added.

Whitney steps into the Democratic chair post a little more than a month before the September primaries. Ò It is a very important local election year and the primaries are less than five weeks away,” Whitney said. “Everyone in this office will work hard to make sure that the primary and November elections run smoothly.Ó Whitney was approved by the county board during its Aug. 5 monthly full board meeting, but not unanimously. Sixteen supervisors voted in favor of the appointment including Chesterfield’s Gerald Morrow and Elizabethtown’s Margaret Bartley, who offered and seconded the resolution, respectively.

North Hudson Supervisor Ronald Moore voted against the appointment, while Westport Supervisor Dan Connell was absent.

Moriah From page 1 with the town historian.

The Mineville School, with the nickname Red Flames, served students from 1906 until the 1968 merger. It utilized Memorial Hall, also known as the VFW, for its gym, kitchen dining area and some classrooms.

The Moriah School, with the nickname Green Raiders, served students from 1837 until the 1968 merger. Ò The bells were used to start the school day and call students in from recess (lunch),” Mildon said. “These bells were used because students and staff could not hear the inside bells if they were out on the playground or sitting out on school grounds. Ò The bell from Moriah High was also used to alert the firemen and community when there was a fire,” she added.

Mildon hopes her research will be included in MoriahÕ s fourth grade curriculum, which focuses on local history. Ò BrookeÕ s done a lot of research,Ó Larrow said. Ò SheÕ s really taken a great interest in this project. This is becoming reality because of her.Ó Plans call for a bell to be placed at the flagpole near the elementary school entrance and the other to be placed at the entrance of the high school. The cast iron bells will be mounted between stone pillars with a small roof covering each. A plaque will be mounted with each containing information about the bells and the schools.

The entire project is expected to cost about $5,000. Mildon has already earned more than $2,000 through money-earning activities.

Brooke Mildon, a 12-year-old Cadette Girl Scout, is leading a project that will retrieve the old Mineville and Moriah school bells from storage and place them at flagpoles at the current school in Port Henry. She is being assisted by Bill Larrow, Moriah school superintendent.

A spaghetti dinner Wednesday, Aug. 21, at the Port Henry Knights of Columbus at 4 p.m. will also raise money for the project. Tickets are $9.

People who wish to donate supplies toward the effort can send them to BrookeÕ s mother, Val Mildon, at Moriah Central

School, 39 Viking Lane, Port Henry 12974.

BrookeÕ s father, Bob, a carpenter, is also helping with the project.

The installation of the two bells will begin as soon as the money is in hand, Larrow said. He expects both bells to be in place this fall.

Cell tower erected in Port Henry, Verizon service in September

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ A new cell phone tower in Port Henry will benefit Moriah residents.

The tower, located at the end of Spring Street, is expected to be activated Sept. 27 by Verizon.

When it goes live, the Ò franken-pineÓ will give local residents improved cell phone coverage and options. Ò Customers will have a choice now,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò No longer will AT&T have a monopoly in our town. Before you pretty much had

go with AT&T because they were the only ones with coverage. Now consumers can shop for the best deal.Ó AT&T has a tower on Belfrey Mountain in Moriah and towers in Vermont directly across Lake Champlain from the town. The 80-foot tall Spring Street tower is the first for Verizon in Moriah.

Besides improved calling and consumer options, the Verizon tower is also helping out town and village taxpayers. Verizon is paying $900 a month Ñ $450 to the town of Moriah and $450 to the village of Port Henry — for five years to lease the jointly-owned town-village property. The rent will increase 3 percent each year of the contract.

Moriah, Port Henry and Verizon actually reached an agreement on the cell tower in 2008, but it has taken five years to navigate Adirondack Park Agency regulations. The project was opposed by Terra Mountain LLC, a Vermont company that owns the adjacent land that includes a out-of-service water tower.

Once the APA permit was approved work began on the cell tower in February.

The new tower is designed to look like a tree and blend into the environment. Scozzafava believes it does.

“I think they (Verizon) did a really nice job,” he said.

“If you’re down at the (Port Henry) boat launch and look up you donÕ t even notice it.Ó

Heritage Day to be celebrated at Penfield Churches to hold 50th annual joint service event Aug. 18

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com IRONVILLE Ñ The 50th annual Heritage Day will be held at the Penfield Museum Sunday, Aug. 18.

A homecoming of sorts for residents and natives, Heritage Day attracts hundreds of people to the Crown Point hamlet of Ironville.

Heritage Day will begin with a church service at 9:30 a.m. at the Ironville Church.

There will be a craft fair and flea market 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and a chicken barbecue 1 to 2:30 p.m.

Located in the Crown Point hamlet of Ironville, the Penfield Museum is the former home of Allen Penfield and reflects the 19th Century when mining dominated the regional economy. It is also the birthplace of the electrical age.

The hamlet of Ironville, on the National Register of Historic Places, is listed as the Ò Birthplace of the Electric AgeÓ since it is the site of the first industrial application of electricity in the United States in 1831. The electricity was provided by a simple battery known as a Ò wet battery,Ó which in turn was used to power one of Joseph HenryÕ s electromagnets. The

electromagnet was used in Ironville to recharge the magnetic prongs on the magnetic ore separator, a machine used to remove the iron from the crushed ore.

The magnet also became a novelty and people would come from miles to see itÕ s strength. Thomas Davenport, of Brandon, Vt., was so fascinated with the magnet at Ironville that he purchased it from Allen Penfield at a cost of $75.

With the experimentation that Davenport did on that magnet, it lead to his invention of the electric motor in the mid 1830s.

Central to the museum is an exact replica of a large electromagnet now in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Penfield moved his family to Crown Point in 1828 to make his fortune in the mining industry. The home he build was occupied by three generations before becoming a museum which houses a collection of 19th Century artifacts memorabilia.

Crown Point iron was an indispensable product for the North in the Civil, War. Iron from Crown Point was used to construct the battleship Monitor.

The museum contains samples of iron ore mined by Penfield along with pictures of the mines in operation.

Rooms in the museum are furnished with original pieces once belonging to the Pen-

fields. Other historic furniture is also on display.

Ironville was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The homes along the main street were all constructed in the early 19th Century.

Those buildings, besides the museum, include the Har-

wood House, a church, a parsonage, a boarding house and homes and barns that have been in use for 150 years and longer.

There are 10 stations along a self-guided tour. Year-round historical and recreational trails wander across the 500 acres of the homestead.

The First Congregational Church of Crown Point and the United Methodist Church of Crown Point will hold a joint service to mark Heritage Day Sunday, Aug. 18, at 9:30 a.m. at the Penfield Church.

Heritage Day event slated

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com IRONVILLE Ñ A pair of Crown Point churches will join for a trip back in time.

The First Congregational Church of Crown Point and the United Methodist Church of Crown Point will hold a joint service to mark Heritage Day Sunday, Aug. 18, at 9:30 a.m. at the Penfield Church.

The service will be led by Pastor David Hirtle of the First Congregational Church and Pastor Gregg Trask of the United Methodist Church.

The service will kick off the annual Heritage Day festivities at the Penfield Homestead and Museum. Ò This special service will bring together friends and families from the area,Ó Hirtle said. Ò It will serve as a bridge from the days before electricity and electric organs to this time of computers and microchips. Ò The service will recall hymns, played on the historic pump organ

by Patricia Knapp, scriptures, prayers, anecdotal information and messages for both children and the young at heart,Ó he said. Ò Special music will fill the air as folks from all over join to worship. All of this will join not only tradition, but the hearts of faith that sustained those original worshippers and still is relevant to this day.Ó Hirtle and Trask have issued a challenge for that day. Ò The friends and members of the parish are to attempt to pack a pew with their own friends and family much as would have been done in the early days of worship here in the greater Crown Point area,Ó Hirtle said.

The Rev. S.L. Herrick, pastor of The First Congregational Church of Crown Point, began holding services in a rural portion of the community known as Ironville 190 years ago at the old Second Congregational Church Meeting House. Ò The church records show that at a special meeting of the Congregational Society, in 1846, The Second Congregational Church of Crown Point was formed,Ó Hirtle said. Ò Congregationalism, inheritors of the free spirit of the Separatists that left England aboard The Mayflower in 1620, came together as a Christian community to build a church home where all would feel welcome, where all had a voice in the path they believed God was directing them. Ò The faith of those early settlers, carved out of the wilderness of the Adirondacks, a church building in 1845 and dedicated in October of that year,Ó he added. Ò The building cost $1,600 and boasted a basement used for the education of its members and the community. It was a focal point of that small, growing community. It provided not only a place of worship, but a communal center for meetings, times of joy and of loss, and great struggle during the early days of this area.Ó

French & Indian War encampment slated

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ The French & Indian War will come alive this weekend at the Crown Point State Historic Site.

The site will host its annual French & Indian War encampment Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 10 and 11. It will feature Ò tactical demonstrationsÓ Ñ re-enacted battles Ñ at 2 p.m. each day. Ò Again this year, the public will enjoy excellent views of naval landings in the morning,Ó said Tom Hughes, site manager. Ò Living history enactors from the northeastern region of the United States and from eastern Canada enjoy participating in events at Crown Point. Ò Two Ô tactical weapons demonstrationsÕ are scheduled for the public to view during the encampment weekend,Ó he added. Ò Each will be narrated by historian Paul Loding, a trustee of Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site.Ó The siteÕ s museum, with its high-definition audio-visual show and interactive exhibits, will be open as well. Ò Guests to the camp will be able to see, hear, walk among, and interact with the many

volunteers who will spend the weekend portraying various people of Crown PointÕ s past,Ó Hughes said.

Sutlers (vendors) will show and sell their replica 18th century wares. The Bridge Restaurant will sell sandwiches, beverages and snack food on site both days.

Crown Point Bread Company will sell locally-baked goods inside a tent beside a replica bake oven. Ò Crown Point offers a unique backdrop for this lively event, both geographically and historically,Ó Hughes said. Ò Before the 1730s, Woodland Indians camped on the peninsula. In 1734, the French military built an impressive stronghold here, Fort St. FrŽ dŽ ric, with its tall limestone tower and even a fortified and wind-powered grist mill.Ó The ruins are among the very few remaining examples of preRevolutionary military construction in the United States. Both fort ruins have been individually designated as National Historic Landmarks by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Ti race to honor former Ti High stalwart

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The Footrace at the Falls, run in memory of Duane Crammond, will be contested Saturday, Aug. 17, in TiconderogaÕ s Bicentennial Park.

This is the second year the event, sponsored by the LaChute Road Runners Club, will be held in downtown Ti. It was run seven years at Fort Ticonderoga.

The 5-kilometer cross country run will begin at 10 a.m. It will be followed by a free childrenÕ s race at 10:30 a.m. All children will receive a free certificate for an ice cream at the Wind Chill Factory.

Parents must sign a waiver for each child running.

Registration for both races will be at the Ticonderoga Elks lodge at 5 Tower Avenue 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Restrooms and parking will be available at the Elks lodge.

Entry fee for the 5K race is $15 for students age 18 and younger, $20 for adults in advance and $22 for adults on

race day. Checks can be made payable to the LaChute Road Runners. The first 100 runners to register will receive a T shirt.

Awards will be presented to the top three finishers in each age group in the 5K. For information call Matt Karkoski at 585-7206, Email mhski@verizon.net or go online at www.lachute.us Ò We promise to have another exciting day with a scenic 5K cross country course that runs along the LaChute River Falls, crosses a covered bridge and finishes to music in front of a grandstand,Ó said Jeff Greer, a race organizer.

Race proceeds will benefit the Duane Crammond Memorial Fund. The fund helps support the Ticonderoga High School cross country and track teams as well as youth running programs in the community.

During its first seven years proceeds from the race were used to fund the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship. That $1,000 annual scholarship is now fully funded and will continue to be awarded.

The Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship and the Duane Crammond Memorial Fund are named for a former

Ti High running stalwart.

Crammond died in a car accident in 2005 at age 24.

Crammond, the valedictorian of the Ti High Class of 1999, was a cross country and track champion in high school. He went on to become an honor student at RPI, where he majored in engineering and was captain of the collegeÕ s cross country team. He was also the leading distance runner on RPIÕ s indoor and outdoor track teams.

After graduation from college, Crammond dominated local races. In 2003 he won the Montcalm Mile in Ticonderoga and the Race the Train event in North Creek. He was third in the Whiteface Uphill Run in Wilmington, fourth in the Prospect Mountain Road Race in Lake George and fifth in the Lake George to Bolton Adirondack Distance Run. He capped that season by winning the Adirondack Marathon in Schroon Lake.

In 2012 a pair of former Ticonderoga High School runners claimed victory in the Footrace at the Falls.

Jesse Berube won the 3.1-mile cross country menÕ s race in a time of 17 minutes, 1 second, while Connie Belkevich captured the womenÕ s event in 25:24.

Champion anglers ABOVE: Jack and Evan Hickey and Ryan Dollar won awards for their perch entries in the Schroon Lake Kids Fishing Derby. Brooke Burton and Gabriel Heath won the crappie category. Alondo Torres, Amanda Maisonville and Audrey Logan all entered prize winning rock bass.

Three sunfish won prizes. Those winning anglers were Harrison Geraux, Justin Troia, and Elliot Frasier. Gabriel Dezalia and Sammy Silver won for their black bass entries. The largest fish of the day, a 25 ounce bass, was landed by 11-year-old Jack Troia of Hopewell Junction, which earned him the tournament championship.

LEFT: Norm’s Bait and Tackle in Crown Point held a fishing tournament to support the annual Elks Children’s Fishing Tournament held each June in Ticondeorga. Winners of Norm’s event were Mark Faverav with a first place 3.9 pound salmon, Josh Polihronakis with a first place 9.35 pound lake trout, Taylor Price with a second place 9.1 pound lake trout, and James Taylor with a third place 7 pound lake trout.

Get out and stay out, in the woods

There are precious few beds that are as comfortable as the floor of a tent camp on a cool summer’s night.

M

y parents were campers. I expect it was quite a chore for them to accomplish a tent camping expedition with the addition of five active kids.

I guess they really enjoyed it, because I know the kids sure did. Our family did a lot of tent camping, but as my mother got older, she finally decided to purchase a small tow behind camping trailer.

She was in her mid-50s at the time, and I guess she wanted something more comfortable than sleeping on the hard, cold ground.

Or maybe she just got tired of DadÕ s feeble attempts to set up a tent.

Although he spent a lot of time in camp, both as an educator and a counselor, my father did not have good relations with tents. In fact, if my father even looked at a tent with lines drawn taunt, it would droop instantly, and hopelessly.

While poking around through some of our old family albums last weekend, I discovered old photos of Mom and Dad while they were camping in Yosemite National Park, in the early 1950s.

There was even a shot of my father, feeding deer out the window of his car, and others of bears climbing on the fenders of touristÕ s cars.

The 50s and 60s were popular years for campers, as the mobility afforded by the automobile provided many travelers with instant vacations. The two decades brought Yogi Bear and Jellystone Park to tens of thousands of traveling campers in real life.

The 70s ushered in the era of lightweight materials, and the backpacking craze introduced another whole generation to the lay of the land. Kelty framepacks and lightweight tents, were matched with down sleeping bags and single burner, Svea stoves to cut the weight of a full pack in half. Of course, the advent of lightweight equipment meant there was much more food that could be carried, and we packed it all in.

IÕ ve often wondered what is the real attraction of camping. Why do people really go to someplace wildly different from home, to sleep on the hard ground while insects buzz about the windows while daring them to step outside. Is there a good reason for giving up a

soft bed and a real toilet, in order to sleep with a root under your back and a tent full of snoring bikers parked within hearing range?

Most campers have their reasons, and theyÕ re usually glad to share them with anyone who will listen. Ò Yeah,Ó theyÕ ll tell you, Ò we just wanted to get away from it all, and get a little peace and quiet by spending some time alone away from home.Ó Human beings are an incredibly curious species. We are all born with an innate sense of discovery, which typically results in an inexplicable need to explore our environment.

Why do they do it? What is it that causes more than 150 million Americans every year to walk out the front door and go hiking, rock climbing, bird-watching, mountain biking, paddling or fishing?

Perhaps itÕ s because camping and outdoor travel reduces our needs to a minimum. Routine chores such as getting the water, collecting the wood or starting the fire become more interesting, just because it has to be done.

There are also the simple survival contingencies that foster bonds of interdependency among all the participants. Teamwork comes easily, and the ability to enjoy the inter-reliance of the group is a key function of the camping experience. Oddly, teamwork often happens without any system of order, campers just seem to know how to take care of each other. It is instinctual, after all.

Our species spent tens of thousands of years living in the wild, and modern man has only been around for a small fraction of that time.

WeÕ ve spent less than 2 percent of our time on earth functioning as members of a Ô civilized society.Õ We go outdoors to see the stars and stare at the fire and to hear the night sounds. We don’t actually go there to Ô get away from it allÕ we go because we have an inner need to be outdoors, and to foster a reconnection with the earth. We may all be part of a civilized society, but individually we are a part of the pack. We arenÕ t seeking to get away permanently, we just want to get back to a time and place where we were once very comfortable.

We have an undeniable urge to feel the cool breeze, and to experience the hard ground. We need tall trees surrounding us and to see the dark skies above. We need to wake with the birds, and feel the morning chill at the dawn of a new day. We go out there to recapture our past and to rediscover a piece of ourselves. We all need a little reassurance that we are still wild at heart. It is to be found when we make contact with the hard ground, or as we listen to the loons on the lake, the wind in the trees of the waves splashing on the rocks. Our ancestors spent the majority of their time living in such conditions, and we continue to seek just a small taste of what it must have been like. We all have a need to be wild again, if only for a while. It is in our blood.

If you havenÕ t been back to camp yet this year, there is still plenty of time. However, the big yellow school buses will be back on the road in less than a monthÕ s time. Have you spent any time in camp yet this year? Have your kids or grandkids watched the stars, or seen their reflection in the still waters of a black lake? I know there will always be time; but truly thereÕ s no better time than the present. Ò When man ventures into the wilderness, climbs the ridges, and sleeps in the forest, he comes in close communion with his Creator.

When man pits himself against the mountain, he taps inner springs of his strength. He comes to know himself.Ó Supreme Court Justice, William O. Douglas

By Rich Redman a First Amendment right.

Every county in New York State except New York City, Long Island, Tompkins and Albany have passed a resolution to oppose or repeal the NYS SAFE ACT. But, as of today, the governor has ignored the people Ñ those very people he claims he works for. Responsible citizens and gun owners need to respond to this law and stand up for their constitutional rights. The battle lines are being drawn!

The NYS SAFE ACT was passed in an emotional rush to satisfy the anti-gunners, with disregard as to its outcome to responsible hunters and gun owners.

Rev. and Dr. Obiora Anekwe

Southerland weds

SCHROON LAKE Ñ The historic Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn was the setting on June 29, 2013, for the wedding of Rev. Alexis Yvonne Southerland and Dr. Obiora Nnamdi Anekwe.

The Southerland family are summer residents of Schroon Lake.

The officiants of the ceremony were Rev. Kenneth Bogan and Rev. Sylvia Gayle Kinard; the liturgist was Rev. Bettye Bogan and the organist Gregory Eaton. Serving as maid of honor was Danielle Summers with Tori Baker and Sharon Jean-Pierre as bridesmaids. The junior bridesmaid was Enuma Anekwe with flower girls Taylor Jackson and Kendall Jackson.

Dr. Ejinkonye Anekwe was best man for his brother with Dr. Timothy Onyiuke, and Tochi Duhu as groomsmen.

The wedding Mass was held on June 30, 2013, at St. Gregory the Great Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn, at which the officiant was Bishop Guy Sansaricq. Serving as witnesses were Emma Jeanette Anekwe, mother of the groom, and Yvonne Southerland, mother of the bride. Standing with the bride was Danielle Summers and with the groom Dr. Ejinkonye Anekwe Rev. Southerland graduated from the Emma Willard School in Troy, the oldest school for girls in the United States and made her debut at the Sigma Gamma Rho Cotillion in Atlanta where she was crowned cotillion queen. While a student at Spelman College, Rev. Southerland participated in the Junior Year Abroad program, studying at St.Edwards Hall at Oxford University, Oxford, England. She graduated from Spelman with honors. She holds a master of divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary and a master of science in teaching from Fordham University. She is employed as a unit coordinator with the New York City department of education, and serves as the pastor of discipleship at the Greater Restoration Baptist Church in Brooklyn.

She is the daughter of Yvonne Foster Southerland, artist, author and retired art educator with the former New York City Board of Education, who also taught at the American School in Gelnhausen, Germany, and the American School of Languages in Florence, Italy. Her father is the late Rev. Plato Southerland, formerly associate pastor at Brown Memorial Baptist Church of Brooklyn, and administrator with the former New York City Board of Education.

Dr. Anekwe graduated with honors from Grace Christian School of Columbus, Ga., and received a bachelor of arts in mass media with honors from Clark Atlanta University. He received a master of education in counseling and student development from Tuskegee University, where he served on the faculty for several years, and a doctor of education from Auburn University. During his doctoral studies at Auburn, he conducted and presented research in education, ethics and philosophy at the International University Bremen in Bremen, Germany; John Cabot University in Rome, Italy; Cracow University of Technology in Cracow, Poland, and the University of Sterling in Sterling, Scotland. He is presently pursuing a master of science degree in bioethics at Columbia University and is a teacher with the New York City Department of Education.

The groom is the son of Emma Jeanette Anekwe, a retired teacher with the Muscogee County School District, Columbus, Ga., and Dr. Gregory Ejinkonye Anekwe, who was formerly chairman of the department of biochemistry at the University of Lagos, College of Medicine. He retired as a professor from the department of biochemistry, faculty of medicine, University of Jos. After a wedding trip to the Dominican Republic, the couple will reside in Brooklyn.
