Bulwagga Bay project could be delayed High water a problem

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ Mother Nature may delay work to save the Bulwagga Bay shoreline.

The project, designed to stop beach erosion, is scheduled to be completed this fall. That timetable may need to be adjusted, though.

In order to do the work, the Lake Champlain water level must be no higher than 94 feet. Heavy rains earlier this summer swelled the lake to nearly 100 feet.

It had dropped to 97.04 feet as of Aug. 14, according to the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation and ECHO at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain. Ò The lake needs to be near its lowest point for us to do the work,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò We need the lake level to drop.Ó The level of Lake Champlain varies within about 5 feet each year. The Bulwagga Bay project was scheduled for this fall because water levels are generally the lowest during late summer and early fall when runoff from tributary streams is lowest because of the movement of moisture back to the atmosphere

(through evapotranspiration) over the summer. The water levels are usually highest from April to May because of high runoff in tributary streams due to snowmelt and low evapotranspiration.

Permits for the Bulwagga Bay project expire this year, but Scozzafava said the town may be forced to seek an extension and do the work in 2014. Ò ItÕ s an act of nature,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s beyond our control. We need the lake level to drop.Ó The project will be completed at some point, Scozzafava stressed.

said, with many applications still being reviewed. Ò WeÕ ll be full when we open,Ó she said. Ò WeÕ ll keep taking applications, though, to create a waiting list. That list will be firstcome, first-serve.”

Senior citizens interested in living in the new facility, located at the site of the former Moses-Ludington Hospital on Wicker Street, can submit applications at the Lord Howe Estate office.

Rent at the new complex will be determined by income. Deguire-Lapishka urged people with interest to call Debbie Bessette, office manager, at 585-6696 to determine their eligibility and rent. Ò There are several factors that will be taken into account,Ó Deguire-Lapishka said. Ò I would encourage everyone who may be interested to fill out an application.”

Moses Circle Senior Apartments includes 31 private apartments, each with about 700 square feet, a kitchen, living room, bedroom, full bath, storage space, air conditioning and internet availability. It will be an independent-living facility with four handicap-accessible units. All units are non-smoking.

The building also has an elevator, a laundry room, a fitness center, a library/media room and a community room with a kitchen.

Included in the rent will be heat and parking. Ò I can tell you the view out of every window is breathtaking,Ó Deguire-Lapishka said. Ò I canÕ t imagine anyone could be unhappy looking out those windows.Ó The front of the building looks down Montcalm Street. The rear has views of the Lord Howe Valley and Chilson.

Moses Circle Senior Apartments is owned by Liberty Affordable Housing and managed by CRM Rental Management, the same group that operates the adjacent Lord Howe Estates.

The senior housing project actually started in 2007, but funding issues delayed its start. Then plans to rehabilitate the old hospital building into apartments proved infeasible. The old

hospital was torn down and the new building was erected in its foot print. The new facility is being made to retain the look of the old hospital. Ò We would have preferred to restore the existing building, but there were unforeseen issues,Ó Deguire-Lapishka said. Ò The bright side is that we have a beautiful new, green, energy-efficient and sustainable building for a long time to come. Ò This will be an absolutely beautiful addition to the town,Ó Deguire-Lapishka said. Ò This will be a place for people to enjoy life with no worries.Ó All maintenance, snow removal, landscaping and trash collection will be included in the rent.

Residents will be responsible for their own electric, cable television and phone bills. Electric bills are estimated to be less than $50 a month.

NCCC proposal exciting Hazy, lazy days of summer N

orth Country Community CollegeÕ s proposal to create a applied technology center in the former LoweÕ s building in Ticonderoga is drawing rave reviews Ñ as it should.

At the direction of President Dr. Steve Tyrell, NCCC has submitted an application for a feasibility study that could lead to the vacant store becoming a vibrant center of education and commerce. It will be some time before we know if the project becomes reality, but just the proposal has people throughout the area excited.

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 and middle skills. Middle skills are those requiring more than a high school degree, but not a four-year degree.

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 program 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.

Jim Major, chairman of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, estimates the additional NCCC students in Ticonderoga would add $1.5 million to the local economy through retail and food purchases.

But thereÕ s more. The project could mean jobs for area residents.

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.

Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney said there have been discussions about including biomass energy resources in the curriculum. Biomass energy is the use of organic materials as a source of fuel. Wood is the main source of biomass energy.

Malaney believes Ticonderoga would have the potential to attract biomass energy firms through the NCCC applied technology center and the START-UP NY program. Ò With this, the potential for additional incubator businesses would be very promising,Ó Malaney said. Ò We hope this will allow us to attract additional businesses in the biomass energy industry.

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. Ò For me, this is the most exciting potential project that TRA has been involved with,Ó Major said.

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 It’s hoped an applied technology center in Ticonderoga can fill that void.

Tyrell believes the proposed Ticonderoga applied technology center is realistic. Ò IÕ m optimistic this will come to fruition in Ticonderoga,Ó he said. Ò 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 LetÕ s hope Tyrell is right. The NCCC applied technology center could be the economic boost the area has been seeking for decades. Ñ

To the Times of Ti:

Based on what I’ve read, two fishermen were ticketed for having milfoil and one with water chestnuts and they are going before the judge in Ti. They are responsible to check their own boats/trailers, and be personally responsible for any violations for failing to do so. There is no excuse for failing to check your boat/trailer, when the potential consequences are so high. This regionÕ s taxpayers already spent millions to try to keep Lake George free of these aquatic invaders and face many more millions if boaters donÕ t take this seriously.

Bob Dedrick of the Ticonderoga Kiwanis Club awaits the winner of the club’s annual duck race in the LaChute River. First place and $300 went to Barbara McLaughlin. Chattie Van Wert won $200. The race was part of the annual Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Car Show.

Always I have been pleased by my Scotch ancestry and always I have enjoyed what Robert Burns said: “The greatest gift that God could give us, is to see ourselves as others see us.Ó Sadly, however, these drone attacks by our government are wrong because there is no concern for other human beings. The administration is conducting these attacks together with the Pentagon, the CIA and other agencies.

If we are to Ò see ourselves as others see usÓ we must know that the people in their own land overseas consider these attacks savage upon their own land.

The little girl Malala nearly died as a result of a savage attack by a member of the Taliban, but out government attack on all suspected terrorists is savage for it is also a war on civilians and a war that will never end.

What can we do if we want to do something?

Well, one thing we can do is to finally come to the realization that our government, state as well as federal, treats us like little children. We are told what will be done and we are also told that we have nothing to say about it. A good example is the imposing of the Safe Act in New York State.

Another thing that can be one by those who choose not to be treated at little children is to form a group of freelance people who will have Ò a voice in their own affairs.Ó I will stand beside these freelancers because I am best suited for the job and that is because, although I am a registered Republican, most of my closest and dearest friends are registered Democrats.

We can have a sort of junction confederation which actually is a joining together of the like-minded people. We can call it W& EJC. Also we can have a voice in the next election on Nov. 5, 2013, for we are well aware well aware that President Obama is playing golf while national and international problems only get worse.

However, the vast array of kewpie dolls that are called leaders of the Republican party are not doing or saying much that is worth while either. This row of kewpie dolls begin with the Republican national chairman and continue with John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and many others.

On another subject and as an ordinary citizen, I believe that kewpie dolls should have asked last week for equal time for the Republicans simply because a presidential press conference is not the time and place to assault Republicans in congress for doing something that they might do.

Historic Chilson Chapel to be preserved CHILSON — Chilson Founders is a new not-for-profit organization of local residents who have banded together to preserve and maintain the former Chilson United Methodist Church building on Putts Pond Road, as well as other landmark properties in Chilson, including Chilson Cemetery.

Chilson Founders will hold its kick-off fundraising event, an old-fashioned community pig roast, Saturday, Sept. 28, at noon at the Chilson Community Center, 60 Putts Pond Road. The event will include music, games and raffles, and the pig roast will be served at 2 p.m. Raffle prizes include an original painting of the Chilson Chapel by local artist Britney Shaw, a handmade quilt

by Chilson artisan Catherine Trybendis and harvest baskets by area residents. Tickets are available by calling Margaret Lauman at 585-9133 or Elise McClintock at 585-7739.

The little white church on Putts Pond Road was built originally as a lodge hall (“The Patrons of Industry”) in the early 1890s, but in 1898 was remodeled and dedicated as a Union Christian Church, free to all denominations. In 1916 the Union Christian Church was incorporated as a Methodist Episcopal Church, in which role it continued for almost a century.

The church finally closed its doors in 2008 and now the Methodist Conference has made it possible for Chilson Founders Association to take over the property as a community landmark.

This past July Chilson Community Founders Association, Inc., received and recorded title to the church, which has been renamed The Chilson Chapel.

Plans are also under way for a dedication ceremony and service on July 27, 2014, as part of the celebration of Ticonderoga’s 250th anniversary.

Locals students attend national conference

Committees.Ó Each committee consisted of delegates with similar proposal topics.

Proposals were presented, debated, and ranked. On Monday, three Ò First CommitteesÓ combined to form a Ò Second Committee.Ó The top eight ranked proposals from each Ò First CommitteeÓ were presented, debated and again ranked in Second Committee. On Tuesday committees were combined again to form four separate Ò Third Committees.Ó The top proposals out of Second Committee were presented, debated, and ranked one last time.

Wednesday was somewhat a relaxing day, but between breakfast and lunch they had General Assembly. There were two General Assemblies, so about 300 delegates were in each. Between lunch and dinner there was free time to do various activities. After dinner, all returned to General Assembly.

On Thursday, there as Plenary, consisting of all the delegates in the conference. Thursday night was the closing ceremony and some of the state Delegates left. New York State stayed one more night and left Friday morning.

Ombudsman program in need of volunteers

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGHÑ Amy GehrigÕ s job might be a little easier if they called it something else; but the term Ô ombudsmanÕ is unfortunately here to stay.

ItÕ s a Swedish word that means Ò citizen advocate,Ó and thatÕ s who Gehrig needs in Essex County: concerned volunteers who can advocate for elderly people who may not have a voice of their own. Ò We are looking for top-notch volunteers, people who are willing to commit to two to four hours a week, going into a long-term care facility and visiting and advocating for residents rights,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s making that difference in someoneÕ s life, in making that moment a happier moment for them. ThatÕ s the biggest reward of this program.Ó The ombudsman program is a national program, which is run independently by each state, but coordinated locally. Gehrig is the coordinator for Essex and Clinton counties, operating through the North Country Center for Independence. She oversees 23 facilities in Essex and Clinton counties for all levels of care, from nursing homes, to assisted living facilities to familytype homes.

Gehrig currently has one volunteer for all of Essex County. Ò ItÕ s not just going in and visiting with residents, itÕ s investigating. If youÕ re into investigations and getting to the bottom of things and fact-finding, then this is the perfect job for you. It’s

very rewarding.Ó The time commitment, she says, is very flexible, with volunteers setting their own schedule for the week.

More than just getting new volunteers, Gehrig hopes to get the word out about what the ombudsman program is, and who it helps.

An ombudsman isnÕ t hired by the facility, she says, and in fact has the power to investigate a clientÕ s records if asked by the client. A large part of the job is negotiating on behalf of the client if there’s a conflict or a problem. They might be contacted by a resident of the facility, or very often by a family member of that resident. A facility does not have the right to deny an ombudsman entrance to a facility. Ò The bottom line is, this is their residence, and everyone needs to remember that,Ó Gehrig said. Ò It is critical that they have rights, they have the option to have a meal they enjoy, or having hot coffee when they want it, that when they ring the bell to go to the bathroom that someone comes in a decent amount of time. We are there to ensure that they have those basic rights.Ó There is a four-day training session upcoming for those interested in volunteering. It will be held Sept. 3 - 6, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Those interested in either Essex or Clinton County can contact Gehrig at 562-9058.

Homeschool Day slated at Fort Ti TICONDEROGA Ñ Fort TiconderogaÕ s next Homeschool Day for homeschool students and their parents will be on Friday, Sept. 6, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Homeschool families will have an opportunity to take part in a series of programs while learning about life on the colonial frontier during the early days of the French & Indian War, centuries of horticulture history, and historic trades. Additional self-guided activities will highlight Fort TiconderogaÕ s world-known museum collections and include exploration in Fort TiconderogaÕ s six-acre corn maze, a life-size puzzle featuring the popular Archaeology Quest activity. Ò This multi-discipline, multi-dimensional Homeschool Day at Fort Ticonderoga is a wonderful opportunity for families and students to immerse themselves in Fort TiconderogaÕ s epic story, discover the site’s stunning beauty and significant geographic location while they participate in active learning and critical thinking,Ó said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga president and CEO. Ò The program was launched last year with attendees travelling from as far away as Florida. We anticipate that we’ll continue to see significant growth in this special program that engages students of all ages and broadens our educational reach.Ó Ò During the day students will learn about the French troops who came to Ticonderoga in the fall of 1755 to begin construction of Fort Carillon,” said Rich Strum, Fort Ticonderoga’s director of education. Ò Interacting with these French soldiers, students can ask about the life of an 18th-century soldier. What did he eat? Where did he sleep? What did he wear? Where did his clothes come from? Ò Throughout the day homeschool families can explore the fort and museum exhibitions,Ó he added. Ò They can take guided tours, learning about the FortÕ s history, and observe musket demonstrations. They can visit the historic tradeÕ s shop, where shoes and clothing are produced by the fort staff, and discover connections between the global economy of the 1700s and today.”

In addition, special programs for homeschool groups take place in the historic trades shop at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Programs at noon and 1 p.m. illustrate the process of feeding the troops as the mid-day meal is prepared. Students in grades 6-12 can learn about how to be a part of the National History Day program at 11:30 a.m.

In the KingÕ s Garden, students can participate in the Ò Lady Bug InvestigatorsÓ program at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and take part in the self-guided activity Ò Watercolors in the GardenÓ from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, Fort Ticonderoga’s Heroic Corn Maze will be open for homeschool families from noon to 4 p.m. To register homeschool students to participate call Nancy LaVallie, group tour coordinator at Fort Ticonderoga, at 585-2821. The cost is $6 a student. One parent per family is admitted free of charge. Additional adults pay the adult group rate of $12.

Wild Character Our very own Big Bird What Adirondack bird is two feet tall and six feet wide? Only an osprey could get away with these dimensions. It’s one of the Park’s largest birds of prey (well, actually, that’s the wing span).

Excellent divers, ospreys catch and eat fish using long, hooked talons.

Plunging from dizzying heights, ospreys can hit the water hard enough to submerge their bodies looking for a meal. The pesticide DDT nearly wiped out ospreys www.exploringnature.org between 1940 and 1970; New York only banned DDT in 1971. The Forest Preserve served as a buffer, so ospreys could survive and help repopulate the rest of the state. They nest at the top of dead trees or utility poles and never use cell phones. Another reason we’re so...

Moriah From page 1 Ò It has to be done,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò The town board canÕ t sit back and let that shoreline erode. ItÕ s a black and white issue; thereÕ s no gray area. It has to be done. Ò ItÕ s a huge revenue source for the community,Ó he said of Bulwagga Bay. Ò ItÕ s the most important piece of real estate the town owns. We canÕ t sit by and watch it disappear.Ó The town board has selected AES Northeast of Plattsburgh to prepare an engineering plan for the project. AES was the low bidder at $29,501.

Once the engineering plans are complete, the town will seek construction bids.

The town-owned beach and campsite on Lake Champlain is being damaged by Lake Champlain erosion. Without action the public beach and 175-site campground will be lost. Ò WeÕ re losing 6 to 10 feet of beach a year,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò WeÕ re losing the beach; weÕ re losing the campground.Ó The shoreline has moved back 25 to 40 feet since 1995, according to the Adirondack Park Agency.

Realizing the problem three years ago, local leaders secured permits from the Adirondack Park Agency, the state Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build three revetments made of half-ton rocks reaching

into Lake Champlain to combat the erosion. The revetments are 4,080, 4,110 and 4,670 square feet in size, and the beach end of each will be enveloped in landscaped trees and shrubs.

The Bulwagga Bay erosion project is expected to cost $350,000.

Bulwagga Bay generated $302,000 in revenue for the town in 2012, Scozzafava said. The $120,000 profit is being used to off-set 2013 local taxes.

The campsite remains popular. This summer 160 of the 175 sites have been leased for the season.

After the project is finished it will require annual monitoring of erosion and water levels on the beach. The town will be allowed to fill in — or “re-nourish” — areas above the revetments where any erosion takes place.

Benefit hike planned in Moriah Cheney Mountain trek to aid High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care MORIAH — A Moriah hike will benefit High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care.

Elizabeth Lee, a naturalist and outdoor guide, will lead a hike up Cheney Mountain Saturday, Aug. 31, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The cost for the hike and lunch is $75 a person. Enrollment is limited to 10 participants, ages 18 and over. No dogs will be allowed. People are asked to register by Aug. 23. All proceeds will benefit the Port Henry-based High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care.

To register contact Ingrid Roemischer at 942-6513, iroemischer@hphpc.org, or P.O. Box 192, Port Henry 12974. Preregistration is required. Ò Elizabeth will introduce forest communities at Cheney Mountain and point out animal signs and native plants,Ó Roemischer said. Ò Great views look north up the lake, west toward the High Peaks, and south to Lake Champlain and Champlain Bridge. A special trail lunch will be provided by High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care. Ò The Cheney Mountain trail is approximately 1.5 miles round trip with elevation gain of 500 feet,Ó she said. Ò The pace of the hike will be relaxed.Ó Participants should meet at the trailhead on south side of Pelfershire Road, .4 miles west of Rt. 9N/22. There will be Cheney Mountain Hike signs.

High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care, a not-for-profit healthcare agency, emphasizes quality of life and living life to its fullest. Hospice is covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid and most private carriers, but these reimbursements covers only 85 percent of actual costs of providing hospiceÕ s specialized care. Hospice also never denies service due to inability to pay.

High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care relies on the financial support of the communities they serve through fundraising efforts to make up the difference. To learn more go to www.highpeakshospice.org.

Elizabeth Lee, a naturalist and outdoor guide, will lead a hike up Cheney Mountain Saturday, Aug. 24, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. All proceeds will benefit the Port Henry-based High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care.

Film to tell stories of pioneering woman Hudowalski documentary to be shown in Schroon Lake

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ A Ticonderoga native and Schroon Lake resident will be the focus of a documentary film to be shown locally. Ò The Mountains Will Wait For YouÓ will be screened at the Strand Theatre on Main Street in Schroon Lake Friday, Aug. 30, and Sunday, Sept. 1. Both showings will be at 6 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for senior citizens and children. Ò The Mountains Will Wait For YouÓ is the story of Grace Hudowalski, the first woman to scale all 46 high peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. She was a founder, as well as the historian and matriarch, of a group of mountain climbers known as the Adirondack 46ers. Today, the group numbers around 8,000.

Hudowalski was born in Ticonderoga and had a camp on the East Shore of Schroon Lake.

The film was made in 1993 when Hudowalski was 87 years old. Much of it was filmed at her Schroon Lake camp.

During the documentary Hudowalski reminisces about her earliest climbs as a teen-age girl in the 1920s, a time when young women largely didnÕ t pursue such activities. She explains her in-

tense love of mountain climbing, the formation of the 46ers and shares her great pearls of lifeÕ s wisdom.

“When the documentary was filmed, aspiring 46ers were not only required to climb all 46 high peaks over 4,000 feet in elevation, but they also had to report their climbs directly to Grace,Ó said Fred Schwoebel, who produced and directed the film. “This meant that every climber was expected to write to Grace a letter after each summit, telling her about the experience: what they saw, what insights they gleaned from the mountains, and what the climb meant to them on a deeper level. Ò And Grace responded to every letter in kind,Ó he continued. Ò Over the years, she wrote thousands of inspiring personal letters to climbers as they made their way to becoming bona fide 46ers.”

Hudowalski was much more than a mountain climber. Ò She had a profound respect for the mountains and a deep spirituality surrounding them,Ó Schwoebel said. Ò A woman ahead of her time, she supported the promotion and preservation of the Adirondack Mountains. In fact, many of the preservation and trail maintenance programs she associated herself with in the earliest days of the organization are booming today. Ò While, on the face of it, this is a documentary about mountain climbing, it goes much, much deeper,Ó Schwoebel said. Ò ItÕ s important to preserve GraceÕ s legacy as an example for all of us to carry on the good works of conservation and stewardship, not only for the Adirondacks, but for any mountain range or wilder-

ness setting.Ó Grace inspired so many through what she called Ô the sheer joy of climbing.Ó Famed singer Johnny Cash narrates the film. John Leventhal wrote the documentaryÕ s musical score.

Schwoebel has proposed renaming East Dix as Grace Peak in HudowalskiÕ s honor. Ò The renaming will act as a beacon,Ó he said. Ò Future generations will discover Grace Peak and learn about a titan, an icon, a woman that surrounded herself with a family of climbers thousands strong. They will learn that in a manÕ s world Grace was a leader, not only for 46ers, but also as a supervisor for the New York State Department of Commerce. Both houses of the New York State legislature resolved to honor Grace by proclamation and a moment of pause in 1986. Grace Peak will honor a unique woman who devoted her life to the mountains, promoted tourism and espoused the recreational use of the Adirondacks.Ó People can view a trailer of the film online at www.themountainswillwaitforyou.com/view-trailer.

Boston vets to lead Adirondack marathon pace group Bombings fresh in memory of runners

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ With the Boston Marathon bombing fresh in their minds, a pair of Beantown distance runners will join pacers at this fallÕ s Adirondack Marathon.

David King of Boston and Scott Reiss of New Haven, Vt., were both finished with the Boston race before the explosions last April, but theyÕ ll never forget the race and its aftermath.

Both will run the Adirondack Marathon, which begins and ends in Schroon Lake Sept. 22, as Ò pace bears,Ó helping other runners reach their goal times. They will lead the 3 hour, 30 minute group.

King, a trauma surgeon at Massachusetts General, had finished Boston Marathon before being called on to treat bombing victims. An Army reservist with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, he worked 48 straight hours tending to the wounded. Ò I am currently training for IronMan New Zealand,Ó King said. Ò I am excited to be part of the Ô Bear PaceÕ team and have the opportunity to motivate a group through this race.Ó Reiss ran his first-ever road race at the 2006 Adirondack Half Marathon. Ò The natural beauty of this course, the organization of the event and the outpouring of support from the locals is what keeps me coming back for this race,Ó Reiss said of the Schroon Lake race.

Reiss has a marathon PR of 2:59 and has qualified for the Boston Marathon the last nine years. ItÕ s the 2013 Boston Marathon that heÕ ll always remember, though. Ò My wife had been standing on a sidewalk not far from the tragedy and I, of course, had passed the finish line in front of supporters that would soon have their lives changed forevermore,Ó Reiss said.

The pacers, experienced marathoners, will lead groups with goal times in 15-minute intervals up to 5 hours, 30 minutes. Ò The loneliness of the long distance runner notwithstanding, participating in a race is ultimately a group activity, and Ô Pace BearsÕ are eager to guide runners on their 26.2 mile journey around Schroon Lake,Ó said Laura Clark, who is helping publicize the Adirondack Marathon. Ò Primarily, bears enable their runners to concentrate on their form, hydration and nutrition by taking care of minutes per mile concerns. In addition to their Ô leave the driving to usÕ function, pacers encourage, support, impart wisdom and entertain Ð all to help the miles pass faster.Ó Runners do not need to sign up in advance or pay a fee for pacing services. They can join a pace group at the starting line.

Pacer biographies and information are available online at www.

adirondackmarathon.org Ò You will feel welcomed and encouraged by all the support that is gladly offered,Ó Clark said. Ò Assemble at the start line, select the bear hoisting the appropriate sign and exchange pleasantries. Along the way if you are not having quite the day you had originally envisioned, feel free to drop down to a slower group. If you are freelancing it, you are welcome to pick up a group or two along the way to give yourself a mental break.Ó The Adirondack Distance Festival includes a full marathon, a marathon relay, a half marathon, 10-kilometer race, 5-kilometer race and childrenÕ s race. The 2013 distance Festival will be Sept.

21-22. The marathon, marathon relay and half marathon will be contested Sunday, Sept. 22, with the other events Saturday, Sept.

katherine@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ The search for missing 15-year-old Cole Anauo has ended with him returning home on Monday, Aug. 19.

Anauo was classified a runaway.

AnauoÕ s parents contacted the New York State Police at 9:30 p.m. on Monday night and informed police he returned to their home on Davis Road in Schroon Lake in good health. Public Information Officer with the New York State Police Trooper Jennifer Fleishman said Cole Anauo she couldnÕ t comment on where Anauo had gone or why he had run away.

The search for Anauo began on Saturday, Aug. 17, when the teen didnÕ t come home. According to police reports, Anauo had left home with a backpack and camping gear. Community members joined the Schroon Lake Fire department, Lewis and Schroon Lake-based New York State Police, Department of Environmental Conservation members and DEC Rangers searching near the Schroon Lake Airport off of Alder Meadow Road, where he was reportedly last seen.

According to a prepared statement released by State Police, Anauo left his residence at around 7 p.m. on Aug. 17, and was last seen on foot approximately five miles away on Alder Meadow Road on Sunday Aug. 18.

Fleishman said Anauo was classified a runaway because of the nature of how he left.

Because Anauo was listed as a runaway, DEC involvement was limited. A DEC Forest Ranger was assisting the Schroon Lake Fire Department with organizing the search effort and DEC’s Division of Law Enforcement had a K-9 unit with an officer who was assisting in the search, according to NYS DEC spokeswoman Lori Severino.

Lisa DeZalia, district clerk and secretary to the superintendent of Schroon Lake Central School said she joined the search effort Aug. 18, along with 60 to 70 other community members. The group combed the woods around the Schroon Lake Airport where Anauo was last seen.

DeZalia said word of the missing teen spread quickly through the small, tight-knit community. Ò Everyone and their brother was out looking for him yesterday (Aug. 18),Ó DeZalia said.

Fleishman said Anauo is not facing penalties under penal law but the matter has been referred to Juvenile Services and Anauo could become enrolled in Person In Need of Supervision (PINS).

Sweet opportunity is knocking

A true square tale

A true Adirondack Squaretail brook trout that was taken from a heritage pond.

T

Photo by Joe Hackett

here is a unique element surrounding outdoor sporting endeavors that seems to trigger the competitive juices in all of us. Whether the contest involves a frog jumping competition for children, a popular Big Buck Contest at the local tavern or a professional Bass Master Classic conducted on Lake Champlain, outdoor travelers always seem to enjoy sharing their accomplishments with others.

Years ago, while visiting the Four Corners region of Northern Arizona, I traveled to Canyon de Chelly to view cliff dwellings that once were the home of indigenous peoples.

Etched into the sandstone of the canyon walls were charcoal renderings of deer, bison, geese and turkeys. It was obvious some houses had a much larger collection of animals and birds. Our guide explained the symbols provided an accounting of the hunting accomplishments of the occupants. At a glance, visitors could easily determine who the best hunters were. The charcoal renderings were a billboard of their achievements.

In a similar manner, modern hunters and anglers continue to pursue this ancient tradition, whether by harvesting a Boone and Crockett Club record buck, or establishing a new New York State record fish. Many local sportsman clubs have their own particular, and peculiar standards for the hunting or fishing accomplishments of their members. Honors may include an actual trophy or a new firearm, while those who missed a chance to harvest a potential trophy may suffer the loss of a shirttail to be nailed on the campÕ s Ò wall of shame.Ó Participants on the Professional Bass Circuit may suffer a fate far greater than simple humiliation from their peers when they fail to produce a trophy catch. They are likely to lose sponsors, and sponsorship money. Professional anglers realize if they canÕ t put out, theyÕ ll likely have to get out.

However, when competition is just between friends, or family, it can often be just as bitter and hard-nosed. To illustrate this point, I often tell the tale about a tail that finally sealed the deal between a long fought over, family fishing competition which always seemed to spark an annual battle.

The main players were both avid brook trout anglers, and as such they rarely traded information on locations, advice on tackle, tactics or any other tips that might possibly provide the other guy with an upper hand.

Rules of the contest were quite simple. After catching a potential trophy, it was to be wrapped in paper and kept frozen until the day after the annual trout season was complete. Over the course of the trout season, they would each measure and re-measure their catches in order to gradually increase the size of their respective trophies by increments of several inches.

A 14-inch brookie taken at ice out in May could later be replaced by a 16-incher in August, and a 19 and ¾ inch specimen may eventually be unveiled the day after the season closed. Since the two contestants lived nearby, there was always a lot of friendly banter and a fair bit of packaging, and repackaging of the potential trophies.

Contest rules required the fish were to be wrapped in freezer paper.

The sparring anglers would often visit their competitorÕ s home freezer to take measurements. The practice was usually unannounced, and often undeclared, however it was the only way they could keep up with each other. However, as the end of the season rolled around there were often other tactics employed. Fishing lines may be ‘slightly nicked’ deep on the spool, and brass snap swivels may be filed down to reduce their strength, or a rod tip could be roughened up to damage the integrity of the fishing line.

Of course, neither of the competitors would ever admit to Ô doctoringÕ their competitorÕ s equipment. But suspiciously, it seemed there were always weakened lines, a hole in the landing net, or seemingly odd Ô burrsÕ to be found on their respective rod guides.

It was nearly the end of the trout season when the younger competitor landed a handsome, native brook trout that measured nearly 22 inches in length. On his return home, he stopped by to show the fish to his father. Ò You see this?Ó the old man asked as he fanned out the brookieÕ s tail. Ò ThatÕ s a true native trout, you can tell by the tail. ItÕ s exactly square, no hint of a Ô VÕ shape at all! The old timers called Ô em Ô square tails.Õ LetÕ s see what the tape has to say.Ó The tape measure spanned exactly 22 inches from tip of its nose to top of the tail, and following the measurement, the son carefully rewrapped his trophy and carted it off to his freezer.

His father, who had recently retired, devoted his every waking moment in a quest to top the 22 incher. He hit the ponds early, and dredged the depths of the lakes with a variety of offerings that were presented with leadcore line. He fished at night under lantern light and jigged off the bottom during the heat of the day.

There was simply no way he would allow his son to take over his spot atop the familyÕ s angling hierarchy. He began fishing like a man on a mission! Two days before the season was set to close, his son was unexpectedly called off to an important job in Albany.

Knowing he had left town, his father slipped silently into his sonÕ s house and headed right to the freezer, where he carefully unwrapped the big lunker, and placed it on a nearby plank of wood. He had replaced the old blade of his utility knife with a razor sharp edge, and quickly went to work on the fish. After he finished with the dirty deed, the trophy fish was carefully re-wrapped and returned to the freezer. It was two days before his son returned, and the father spent the entire time on the water with no success. They had agreed to get together late in the day, each with their respective trophies in hand.

The packaged trout were set on the kitchen table, and silently unwrapped, beginning with the father’s fish first. The tape measure revealed its length at 21 and ¾ inches, and the son grinned happily. He was certain to win. As he hurried to unwrap his trophy trout, he declared, “Finally, after all these years, I’ve got you! I finally beat your fish, I’ve got the top rod in this family now!”

Still grinning from ear to elbow, he unpackaged the fish and placed it on the table beside his father’s. There was something slightly wrong, however, and the tail appeared remarkably square. A tape measure was still on the table and he grabbed it quickly to size up his catch. The tale of the tape read exactly 21 and 1/2 inches.

“What the hell?” he declared, “Don’t tell me my freakin’ fish shrunk! I don’t believe it!” Ò Freezer burn is what IÕ d guess,Ó joked his dad, as he slowly took his wallet out of his back pocket. He produced a small, shriveled-up piece of trout skin that he set down next to the potential trophy and declared, Ò Unless you can reattach that, it appears the Top Rod is all mine for another year!Ó He son was shocked, but before he could attempt an answer, the family cat grabbed the brittle bit of fish tail and ran off. Ò Better luck next year!Ó remarked his father amid the attendant laughter, and good luck with the squaretails!
