This Week CROWN POINT

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ An award-winning building renovation project in Ticonderoga could be a major step in the communityÕ s economic revitalization.

The reconstruction of the Huestis Building on Montcalm Street has been completed. The structure now houses LibbyÕ s Bakery on the first floor with housing for 16 North Country Community College Ti campus students upstairs. Ò We did our best to keep the feel of the 1800s,Ó said Jim Major, lead partner of JASAMA LLC, the Ti firm that owns the building. Ò The building was completely gutted. Steel supports were installed. ThereÕ s a new roof, new wiring, new plumbing Ñ everything is new.Ó The exterior has been restored to look as it did when constructed in 1874.

JASAMA has received a Stewardship Award from Adirondack Architectural Heritage for its efforts. Adirondack Architectural Heritage is a non-profit historic preservation organization for New York StateÕ s Adirondack Park.

AARCH was formed in 1990 with a mission to promote better public understanding, appreciation and stewardship of the Adirondacks unique and diverse architectural heritage.

Ti athletic events free to spectators School district says thanks to community

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga sports fans are in for a treat this academic year. They can attend Sentinel home games for free. Ò As a gesture of gratitude to the community for supporting

the school during these tough budget years, the (school) board decided that we would not charge for athletic events for the 2013-14 school year,Ó Superintendent John McDonald said.

Admission to Ti athletic events had been $3 for adults and $2 for children.

Athletic admissions generate about $5,000 a year for the district, McDonald said. Ò We are going to try this for one year to see how it works and then determine at the end of the year if we should continue it for the future,Ó he said.

Other area schools, including Ausable Valley Central School, have adopted a similar policy.

Playoffs and other tournament games are not covered by the free offering because those event are governed by Section VII or the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, not the Ti school district.

McDonald hopes the new policy will encourage more people to attend Ti High athletic events. Ò Attendance has been pretty consistent depending on who we are playing and what kind of season we are having,Ó he said, Ò but we do hope this will attract more community members to the games.Ó This fall Ticonderoga athletes will compete in football, girls soccer, boys cross country and girls cross country.

The Ticonderoga varsity football team will return a lot of experience from the 2012 squad which finished 5-4 on the season.

The roster includes Jarryn Granger, Mike Graney, Ty Denno, Matt Cook, Sean Lawrie, David Bevins, Cameron Wright, Skyler Gilbert, Jesse Wilson, Shaner Cody, Taylor

Coffin, Blake Gautreau, Anthony DuShane, Garrison Hughes, Dominic Banish, Parker Granger, Marick Ross, Konner Bruce, Ian Lawrie, Devin Alkinburgh, Dalton Huestis, Colby Bradford, Ryan Trudeau and Chase Dixon.

The Sentinels are coached by Bob Sutphen. Sutphen is assisted

by Scott Nephew, Dan Dorsett, Jim Decker and Todd Mitchell.

The Ticonderoga varsity girls soccer team will be looking to find new faces to step up for them in 2013.

The team, coached by Kathy Tubbs, features Logan Mars, Tiffani Purkey, Haley Kuhl, Sadie Hamel, Kylie Austin, Ashley Trudeau, Lillith Ida, Lexi Moore, Michaela Fitzgerald, Paige Gunning, Rachel Scuderi, Jendra Cooke, Brenna Michalak, Constance Bailey, Rachel Bennett, Brittany Bruce, Rachel White, Savannah Bezon, Haleigh Wright and Delaney Hughes.

The Ticonderoga boys cross country team won the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference championship last season and finished fifth in the state. That team returns all but one runners this fall.

Coach Jay WellsÕ team includes Tyler Beldon, Shawn Silliman, Jacob Young, Cody Parrot, Martin Glazer, Milo Thurbon, Colvin Chapman, Dillion Crowe, Aaron Russell, Darby Guay, John Cook, Joel Cook, Ryan Price, Tim Ryan and Nick Fitzgerald.

Wells also mentors the girls cross country team that includes Naomi Forkas, Ashlyn Laperle, Elizabeth Aranguiz, Marissa Thompson, Casey Hargett and Willa Shakeshaft.

Reform necessary for Adirondack economic success

T

he classification debate over the Essex Chain Lakes and other newly acquired Forest Preserve is necessary and important; however, a more focused debate over balancing economic development and land preservation in the Adirondack Park is lacking and sorely needed.

We hope this latest debate leads to reform in the way the state manages economic development in the Adirondack Park. This is a unique place, and it deserves a unique management approach. The 40-year-old model simply isnÕ t working.

Classification — a job for the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) — is only the first possible step in redefining economic development and its relation to the Forest Preserve. Then comes the unit management plan, a job for the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). ThatÕ s where the real reform should be focused.

From the state of New YorkÕ s perspective, the APA should classify the newly Essex Chain Lakes tract wilderness. After all, whatÕ s the point of having Forest Preserve if youÕ re not going to preserve its natural resources to the most pristine state possible?

From the local perspective, the APA should classify the Essex Chain Lakes wild forest. After all, what the point of having a park if youÕ re not going to open it up to as many users as possible?

Such is the dilemma the APA has been facing over the past several months.

The APA should side with home rule. Small communities such as Newcomb, Minerva, Indian Lake, Long Lake and North Hudson need an economic boost if theyÕ re going to survive.

With tourism alone, Newcomb will never become the boom town it was when the National Lead mine was in full operation. But thatÕ s not the point. People in Newcomb just want to be able to stay there and make a living. And thatÕ s not too much to ask.

The future of the Adirondack Park is in the hands of the state government, especially as it buys new land for the Forest Preserve and classifies it for specific uses. We’re now at a critical point where a decision needs to be made about classifying the Essex Chain Lakes tract.

If the Essex Chain Lakes becomes wild forest Ñ opening the land up to a myriad of uses, such as mountain biking, motor boating and snowmobiling — it would increase the traffic in communities near the property. So will wilderness, but there would most likely be fewer tourists with the limited access. Still, without infrastructure additions Ñ such as beds and restaurants Ñ those communities would not be able to take advantage of this new opportunity no matter

the classification.

A wild forest classification will not be the magic bullet for economic development in the central Adirondacks. It will not solve the communitiesÕ problems or create as many jobs as people say it will. But it may help. When you donÕ t have much, every little bit helps.

So why do communities continue to age and decline economically in the Adirondack Park while the state continues to buy new land? ItÕ s not because of those purchases; they are assets to the state. ItÕ s because of the way the state manages and regulates land Ñ public and private Ñ inside the Adirondack Park.

Take the Essex Chain Lakes, for example.

Eight APA commissioners and designees from three other state agencies Ñ DEC, Department of State, and Empire State Development Ñ make the decision of how to classify Forest Preserve. What happens next? The DEC takes the lead on a unit management plan, with help from the APA, and the DOS and ESD go home to Albany. Why? WeÕ ve said it before, and weÕ ll say it again Ñ ESD and DOS should be part of the unit management planning process, not in a way that takes the DEC away from its primary state land management role, but in a way that creates economic opportunities in the communities that are impacted by the Forest Preserve. In this case, ESD and DOS should be working to find ways to boost economic development in the five towns surrounding the Essex Chain Lakes.

If Gov. Cuomo really wants to make economic changes here in the Adirondack Park, heÕ ll direct ESD and DOS to stay and work with those communities after classification, whether itÕ s wilderness or wild forest. ThatÕ s a simple way to make reform. DonÕ t let them go home.

Give them a more active role in managing the Park, not just sitting on the APA board. And they should be part of every unit management planning process, whether itÕ s a new acquisition or not.

As we continue to define the Adirondack Park and move forward with this grand experiment, letÕ s learn from past mistakes and make changes accordingly. New York has failed to link communities and Forest Preserve in a way that best creates an atmosphere for sustainable economic development. Entrepreneurs with deep pockets arenÕ t waiting in the wings to swoop down into tiny towns such as Newcomb and build restaurants and hotels for the tourists who use the state land. Yet thatÕ s exactly whatÕ s needed. The Adirondack Park needs an economic management plan. And that can only happen if the governor gives other state agencies, such as ESD and DOS, the task.

Lake regulations are clear To the Times of Ti:

Times of Ti - 7

Owners should check boats To the Times of Ti:

The article in the Sept. 7 issue about anglers being ticketed is full of half-truths and innuendos. At best, it might have been appropriate for your editorial page. It should not have run as a news article. It was published way too late to do anything but to rehash the flimsy excuses expressed by the guilty parties and their apologists, one of whom apparently is your reporter Shawn Ryan.

It does not matter when the LGPC (Lake George Park Commission) technicians arrived at Mossey Point, nor does it matter when the anglers or the tournament organizers were advised that the two anglers would be ticketed, nor does it matter when, whether or if they were asked to wash their boats. The simple fact is that it has always been illegal to introduce invasive species into the waters of Lake George, and it is the responsibility of every boat owner to verify that neither his boat nor his trailer carry any invasives before launching, The Lake George Park Commission Ò Rules and Regulations, part 646-1.6 (h) are perfectly clear: Ò No person shall launch a vessel into or remove a vessel from the waters of the park without inspecting the vessel and its trailer, if any, to ensure the detection of marine growth, including macrophytes (weeds), or any other hull contamination, and removing said growth and disposing of it so as to ensure that it is not discharged into the waters of the park.Ó Inspection by LGPC staff is provided to help boat owners comply with this law. Neither the lack of the presence of LGPC staff nor the timing of their actions changes the requirement for individuals to inspect and clean their own boats before launching.

Your reporter goes on to cloud the issue by reporting that Dave Wick stated that no new invasives were found in the water around the launch site that day. This twists Dave WickÕ s statement to imply that the burden of proof of a violation falls to the LGPC staff to find and recover as evidence, the actual, particular, single invasive plant or animal that came off of each of the offending boats. The evidence of invasives on the trailers, that no one denies had been in and out of Lake George that morning, is adequate proof of the violation.

Apparently the other tournament participants realized their responsibility for the future quality of the waters of Lake George and launched only clean boats. LetÕ s hope that it is 100 percent in the future so that Lake George continues to be free of invasives for all, including fishermen, to enjoy.

Kenneth Engler Hague

Moriahstock a success

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. This boat should have been checked by its owner.

I would also like to thank the bands who performed. We had Loose Connection start us off, followed by Blaise Bryant and then Pete MazzotteÕ s group White Hot Monkey Love closed out the day for us.

I would like to give special thanks to all of our business sponsors and George Potter for organizing the music and bands. We look forward to making Moriahstock 2014 bigger and better next year!

Thanks again and I hope that everyone who attended Moriahstock 2013 had a great time.

A note on the 50th Heritage Day - the first Heritage Day was put on to raise monies so the museum could open the next year.

We hope to have a real 50th anniversary celebration next year featuring a special postmark, special lectures, special publications and much more.

A member of PHM has inspired us, during this 50th anniversary celebration, to honor all past and present board members. The board of trustees received a request to honor a particular past board member but we found it impossible to honor just one. All have contributed to what Penfield Homestead Museum is today.

It is our goal to review all of our past minutes and record all board member names and years of service. We will then display the names on two plaques Ð one for those deceased and one for those living. We will invite all past and present trustees to attend our 2014 pancake breakfast for the unveiling of these two plaques. To that end, the current board would appreciate any help with the names of early board members, especially those of the 1960s and 1970s. Please send us a letter or postcard with the name of the Trustee and years on the board.

Penfield Homestead Museum has had a great first 50 years and we hope that you will continue to support us.

We hope you will join us for Applefolkfest on Oct. 13 to celebrate fall in the Adirondacks.

Fort Ti receives grant for teacher workshops TICONDEROGA Ñ The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a grant of $173,000 to Fort Ticonderoga to host two week-long Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops for School Teachers in the summer of 2014.

The workshops will focus on Ò The American Revolution on the Northern Frontier: Fort Ticonderoga and the Road to Saratoga.Ó Fort Ticonderoga was one of only two institutions in New York State to receive grant funding for NEH Landmarks Workshops in 2014. Ò This prestigious grant allows Fort Ticonderoga an unparalleled opportunity to play a vital part in educating and inspiring AmericaÕ s youth through their teacherÕ s participation in this program,Ó said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga president and CEO. Ò Fort Ticonderoga is a national leader in teacher education and this program helps add to our diverse offerings and increased reach.Ó Ò IÕ m really excited to welcome 80 teachers to Fort Ticonderoga next summer as part of the NEH Landmarks Workshops,Ó said Rich Strum, Fort TiconderogaÕ s director of education and the NEH project director for the workshops in 2014. Ò Providing teachers with a unique learning experience combining a topnotch slate of visiting scholars and the talented staff and amazing resources at Fort Ticonderoga makes for a very memorable experience. ItÕ s gratifying to think of the long-term impact a week like this has on teachers and their future students for years to come.Ó This NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshop for School Teachers will be offered twice, July 6-11 and July 27-Aug. 1. There is no fee for this program and all participants receive a $1,200 stipend to help defray expenses. Teachers wishing to earn three graduate credits during the workshop can do so through an arrangement with the College of St. Joseph in Vermont.

Visiting scholars for the workshops include some of the most prominent historians in their fields and include James Kirby Martin (University of Houston), Holly Mayer (Duquesne University), Douglas Egerton (LeMoyne College), Carol Berkin (City University of New York), William Fowler (Northeastern University), and Jon Parmenter (Cornell University). Participating teachers have the opportunity to discuss issues related to the

Revolution with these scholars as well as utilize the inexhaustible resources of Fort Ticonderoga.

Fort Ticonderoga played a crucial role in the early years of the American Revolution on the northern frontier. Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold captured the fort and its valuable artillery in May 1775 for the colonial cause. It was a hive of activity in 1776, fending off an aborted British invasion from Canada. In 1777, when news reached London that the fort fell to the British in July, King George III reportedly shouted to the Queen, Ò IÕ ve beaten them! IÕ ve beaten them!Ó These week-long workshops explore Fort Ticonderoga and the first three years of the Revolution on the northern frontier. Ò The American Revolution on the Northern Frontier: Fort Ti-

conderoga and the Road to SaratogaÓ is open to all teachers nationwide through a competitive application process that opens in December. Full-time and part-time classroom teachers and librarians in public, charter, independent, and religiously-affiliated schools, as well as home-schooling parents, are eligible to participate. Other K-12 school personnel, including administrators, substitute teachers, and classroom professionals, are also eligible to participate, subject to available space.

Fort Ticonderoga hosted two NEH Landmarks Workshops for School Teachers in the summer of 2011 and also offers the annual Fort Ticonderoga Teacher Institute each summer. To learn more about programs for educators, visit the Fort Ticonderoga website at www.fortticonderoga.org

Photographer returns to Silver Bay 25049

SILVER BAY Ñ Jesse Summer Wooley returned to Silver Bay Aug. 14 after 100 years.

Wooley (1867-1943) served as staff photographer at the Silver Bay YMCA from 1908 to 1923, and was an innovative photographer who documented the worldÕ s rapidly changing culture at the turn of the twentieth century. He has been brought back to life thanks to members of The J.S.Wooley Project.

The J.S. Wooley Project, a project supported by the Saratoga County Historical Society, began in 2009, when the project manager, photographer Richard Timberlake, discovered a collection of several hundred original Wooley negatives. The negatives were held by Bolton native and summer resident Matt Finley, who has provided the seed funding for this project. In addition to Mr. FinleyÕ s private collection, there are thousands of prints and negatives held at Brookside Museum by the Saratoga County Historical Society in Ballston Spa, where Wooley resided.

The J.S. Wooley Project is a multi-faceted endeavor to share WooleyÕ s amazing work with the world. It includes a book written by Philip Terrie, a retired professor from Bowling Green State University and author of Contested Terrian, A New History of Nature and People in the Adirondacks. The photography book

is to be published by Syracuse University Press. A traveling exhibition, documentary and education program are also part of the Project.

In Silver Bay, Timberlake, Finley, and Terrie were joined by Jamie Young, a commercial photographer from Syracuse, who specializes in antique panorama cameras of WooleyÕ s time. The group spoke to a near capacity crowd at The Auditorium, sharing their expertise and bringing Wooley back to life in a place he called home for over a decade.

Several hundred images were on display, as were original cameras like ones Wooley would have used. Ò This project is overwhelming in many ways,Ó Timberlake said. Ò There are so many aspects of WooleyÕ s life and the changing technologies of his time that we want to uncover. We are thrilled to be able to share WooleyÕ s work with the rest of the world.Ó The project team will share their work next in Glens Falls at the Crandall Library on Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. More information on The J.S. Wooley Project can be found at www.brooksidemuseum. org.

His Holiness Pope Francis to the faithful of our nation,Ó LaValley said. Ò His presence among us is a wonderful reminder of the close communion that exists between the Successor of St. Peter and the Diocese of Ogdensburg. It is a great privilege to welcome him to northern New York State.Ó LaValley said that they are expecting about 2,000 Catholics from across the Diocese of Ogdensburg to attend.

To help celebrate the event, Father Scott Seymour, pastor in Morrisonville and Treadwells Mill, is organizing a diocesan choir of 300 voices to lead music for the liturgy. Ò This is a solemn Mass marking the Year of Faith and the New Evangelization,Ó Bishop LaValley said. Ò This celebration will be a significant event in the life and history of our diocese.”

In order to help as many people come to hear from the Apostolic Nuncio as possible, the diocese will be arranging bus transportation to Lake Placid from communities across the diocese.

Registration may be made through parishes.

Paul Smith’s College hunting policy not changing Paul Smith’s College will continue to allow students to hunt on college owned land

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PAUL SMITHÕ SÑ Not all colleges are interpreting provisions of New YorkÕ s new SAFE Act the same way.

It was recently reported that Syracuse University, which owns the 2,500-acre Pack Forest Demonstration Area in Warrensburg, and the 2,800-acre Dubuar Memorial Forest adjacent to SUNY college of Environmental Science and ForestryÕ s (ESF) Ranger School in Wanakena, will no longer allow people to hunt the property with firearms.

This is because a provision in the New York State Penal Law, section 265.01 a, now makes it a class E felony to possess a firearm Ò ...in or upon a building or grounds, used for educational purposes, of any school, college, or university, except the forestry lands, wherever located, owned and maintained by the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF).” Formerly possession of a firearm on school property was a class A Misdemeanor.

While there is clearly an exemption for SUNY ESF land, and the land in question is maintained by the ESF, the land itself is owned by Syracuse University. After consulting with their counsel, officials of Syracuse University decided that since they were the ultimate owners of the property, the exception did not apply to them.

Officials at Paul Smith’s College interpret the law differently. Ò ThereÕ s nothing in the SAFE Act that prevents a college from allowing a student to store a firearm on a campus,” said Phil Fiacco, Director of Campus Safety at Paul SmithÕ s. Ò The law preventing students from having firearms on a campus has been there for a while, that wasnÕ t new with the SAFE Act. It doesnÕ t

allow a student or anybody to bring a firearm onto a college campus without the permission of the administration of the college.Ó Paul Smith’s has long allowed students to bring firearms to campus in the fall semester, for the purpose of hunting. Firearms are turned in to campus security, and students pick up the firearm when they are ready to hunt, returning it at the conclusion of their hunt.

Fiacco estimates that the college has between 150 and 200 firearms in its armory.

And while students are barred from actually hunting on campus, they are allowed to hunt on much of the colleges extensive forest land. When they register their firearms, they are given a map of lands which are being utilized for educational activities, and lands which arenÕ t. They are allowed to hunt the latter. Ò Because Paul SmithÕ s College has 14,000 acres of land, we have a hunting map, and students are allowed to utilize certain areas, certain college properties, to hunt,Ó Fiacco said. Ò That has been the policy, and it wonÕ t change at all with the SAFE Act.Ó New York State Police Senior Investigator Chris Keniston said the wording of the Penal law section hasnÕ t changed under the Safe Act, just the grade of crime. He said it has long been illegal to possess a firearm on a college campuses, but he said there are exceptions in the law.

The first exception is if the administration has granted written permission to an individual to possess a firearm on school property. The second is that the possession has to be in an area not used for educational purposes.

Paul Smith’s, he says, is legal in allowing firearms on certain college owned lands. Ò If itÕ s just land that they own and it isnÕ t being used for educational purposes, and they have written permission, they are okay,Ó says Keniston.

He said that he was unfamiliar with the specific property owned by Syracuse University, and couldnÕ t comment on their case.

Hunters on those parcels are still allowed to utilize the property to bowhunt.

The rooms are in the Huestis Building, which has received a Stewardship Award from Adirondack Architectural Heritage. will need services. Businesses will develop to support them.Ó If a proposed NCCC technology school becomes reality, it could mean another 300-400 students coming to Ticonderoga. Ò That would be a tremendous boost for Ticonderoga,Ó Major said.

Major credits Dr. Steve Tyrrell, NCCC president, with taking an interest in both the Ticonderoga community and Ti campus. Ò WeÕ ve had great cooperation from the college,Ó Major said. Ò The president has been to Ti more times than all the other presidents combined. He (Tyrrell) sees the tremendous potential for both the college and the community.Ó

Ò This building was a labor of love,Ó Major said. Ò I love architecture of the 1800s, the Italianate-style. It was a lot of work and cost a lot of money, but I feel itÕ s well worth it.Ó Major declined to say how much the project cost.

Sharon Reynolds, executive director of PRIDE of Ticonderoga, nominated the Huestis Building for the Stewardship Award. Ò PRIDE has been interested in the Huestis Building as well as all the historic properties in Ticonderoga to do all we can to restore and preserve these important structures,Ó Reynolds said. Ò When Jim purchased the building in 2011 PRIDE was able to assist him with a New York Main Street grant of $45,000 which he matched with his own funds to begin the rehabilitation process.

Watching the special care Jim took to preserve the integrity of the Huestis Building and seeking the expertise of others is testimony to his love of architecture. Ò The AARCH award is very competitive and PRIDE considers all restoration projects for submission,Ó she said, Ò but the Huestis Building was clearly an outstanding example of an ownerÕ s commitment to the importance of preserving our history and an ownerÕ s investment in the revitalization of Ticonderoga.Ó The building was constructed in 1874 by J. Wiley, a Ticonderoga merchant, Reynolds noted. The 19th century, two-story, clapboard, Italianate structure is sandwiched between a turnof-the-century brick commercial building and a 1960s concrete block edifice. It is one of only six remaining wood frame Italianate-style commercial buildings in the Montcalm Street commercial district.

LibbyÕ s Bakery opened in the building this past June. The building welcomed its first North Country Community College students recently, marking the first time NCCC Ti campus students have been housed in the community.

Though not a traditional dormitory, the upstairs is rented to NCCC students through an agreement with the college. There are two units, each accommodating eight students. Each furnished unit contains four bedrooms, a kitchen, living space and bathrooms.

JASAMA has a contract to provided NCCC with rooms for 100 students in the next five years. Major hopes to add a building a year to meet that goal. Ò Our goal is to affect change,Ó Major said. Ò We believe one of the best ways to do that is through the school (NCCC). We hope to impact the character of downtown and develop business. If we have 100 beds downtown those students

As part of JASAMAÕ s commitment to Ticonderoga, the Huestis Building project used local labor and supplies. Even the furnishings were purchased in Ticonderoga. Ò Sometimes the people in Ticonderoga forget all the offerings here,Ó Major said. Ò Everything we needed for this project was found right here in Ti.Ó Travis Whitford was the general contractor for the project.

The Huestis Building renovation is JASAMAÕ s second completed project in Ticonderoga. In 2010 it restored another Montcalm Street building that now houses Two Brother Meat Market.

PRIDE assisted with the project by securing a $40,000 grant.

Festival of Nations set in Crown Point 1740s fashions to be on display

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ High fashion will be on display during the annual Festival of Nations / F• te des Nations at the Crown Point State Historic Site.

The Festival of Nations is a three-day event, Sept. 20-22, offered jointly by New York StateÕ s Crown Point State Historic Site and the VermontÕ s Chimney Point Historic Site. The two sites are separated by the Lake Champlain Bridge.

“On the first day of the festival, atlatl-making workshop participants will learn how people hunted before the invention of the bow and arrow,Ó said Tom Hughes, Crown Point site manager.

The workshop will be at Chimney Point State Historic Site Friday, Sept. 20. Pre-registration is required. The workshop is the first day of the annual three-day Northeast Open Atlatl Championship held on the grounds of Chimney Point on Sept. 20-22.

Crown Point State Historic Site will participate in the Festival of Nations Saturday, Sept. 21, with a fashion statement. Ò That afternoon museum staff will dress in clothing that was carefully researched and reproduced to authentically portray what a French soldier, officer and officer’s wife would be wearing at Fort St. FrŽ dŽ ric in the 1740s,Ó Hughes said.

Visitors can get into the fashion of the period, too. Starting at 12:30 p.m. visiting families can pretend to wear Colonial era garb as they pose behind two-dimensional painted scenes showing one boy and one girl dressed for the 1700s. Ò Guests will want to bring a camera,Ó Hughes said.

The French military units that manned Fort St. FrŽ dŽ ric at Crown Point for a quarter century (1734-1759) were known as Les Compagnies Franches de la Marine, Ò independent naval companies.Ó The French military used their naval forces to defend their colonial New France military posts, such as QuŽ bec, MontrŽ al, Chambly, Fort St. FrŽ dŽ ric, and eventually Carillon, because they were located overseas, far from France itself. Ò Crown Point has a unique historical importance, both geographically and archeologically,Ó Hughes said. Ò Before the 1730s, Woodlands 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. A quarter-century later, when the British arrived, they added an even larger fort complex at Crown Point. The limestone ruins of both the French-built fort and of the earthen walls and limestone barracks of the British fort are located on an extra-ordinary scenic point of land that juts into the wide open lake, beside the Lake Champlain Bridge.Ó For information about the site or the Festival of Nations contact the siteÕ s museum at 597-3666 or go online at www.nysparks. com.

Ticonderoga resident Josey Ezzo is dressed as the wife of a lieutenant who served at Fort St. Frédéric (Crown Point) in the 1740s. She is the bi-lingual lead history interpreter at Crown Point State Historic Site.

Next to her, Crown Point’s historic site manager Tom Hughes wears a replica uniform for an officer of Les Compagnies Franches de la Marine serving in “Nouvelle France.” Crown Point’s museum staff will interpret for guests the clothing of the local 1740s French military men and of their wives and children on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 21.

Lifeline phone service available through CP Telephone

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ Telephone service can be a matter of life and death.

ThatÕ s why Crown Point Telephone Corporation is participating in the National Telephone Discount Lifeline Awareness Week Sept. 9-15. Ò Many of us take for granted that we can pick up our phone, dial our friends and family, and stay connected with the rest of the world,Ó said Shana Macey, Crown Point Telephone president. Ò Phone service has become such a routine part of our lives that we hardly even think about it anymore. Ò But imagine what it would be like if you were suddenly laid off from your job and couldnÕ t afford to pay your phone bill,Ó she said. Ò Imagine if you worked one or two jobs and barely made enough to pay the rent and

had to sacrifice telephone service.”

Those people can get help, Macey said. Ò There is good news, though,Ó she said. Ò Many of these consumers may qualify for an assistance program Ñ Lifeline Ñ that discounts a portion of their telephone service. Lifeline provides qualified consumers savings on basic monthly telephone service. Ò Lifeline helps low income consumers connect to the nationÕ s communications networks, find jobs, access health care services, connect with family, and call for help in an emergency,Ó Macey said.

People can learn more about the program by calling Crown Point Telephone at 597-3300 or other telephone providers. Ò Our goal is to connect as many people as possible,Ó Macey said. Ò We hope that by raising awareness of Lifeline, we can ensure that more consumers can call their friends, their families, and life-saving services. In todayÕ s highly inter-

connected world, no one should be left out.Ó Lifeline is a government program that provides monthly discounts on telephone service Ñ wireline or wireless Ñ for eligible low-in-

come consumers. It is available to eligible lowincome consumers in every state.

Information on the program is available online at www.lifelinesupport.org

Study supports CFES program Crown Point, Ti schools take part

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ A new study conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Michigan found evidence of the impact of College For Every StudentÕ s (CFES) three core programs Ð Mentoring, Leadership through Service and Pathways to College Ð on the development of aspirations among low-income middle school students to complete four-year college degrees.

Crown Point and Ticonderoga schools participate in the CFES program.

The evaluation of CFES, a non-profit organization committed to raising college aspirations and academic performance of under-served youth, revealed that 75 percent of the CFES students plan to attend four-year colleges, compared to only 5 percent of the students in the control group.

The study, the first of its kind to look at these three practices and how they are interwoven, was led by Professor Ed St. John, Algo Henderson Professor of Higher Education at the University of Michigan, who noted that, Ò Having this expectation during middle school predisposes students toward taking the important steps to prepare for college during high school.Ó According to Rick Dalton, CFES president and CEO, Ò This study reinforces the effectiveness of CFESÕ core programs in getting middle school students on track toward college. But our programs donÕ t stop there Ð 95 percent of CFES program participants graduated from high school and went on to college.Ó According to St. John, Ò While school reform from the publication of A National At Risk through the development of common core standards in 2012 has assumed that uplifting graduation requirements would improve college preparation and accessÑ and there is substantial evidence of improvement in related outcomesÑ these reforms have not adequately addressed the disparities in social, economic, and family education that reproduce inequality. This research concludes that through these forms of social support that enable students and their parents to build academic capital, CFESÕ core practices provide means of educational uplift of low-income, underrepresented students.Ó The research found that CFESÕ practices that incorporate mentoring, college exposure, leadership development and service to school and community raise aspirations and performance and move lowincome students on the pathway to college. According to the research report, Ò The CFES core practices are uniquely well aligned with the types of social support needed to help students and families build the social and cultural capital for college.Ó The evaluation was based on a survey completed by 1,200 students participating in the CFES program, in grades 6-9 across 21 schools in 10 states.

Nearly all the students were from families that live at or below the poverty line. For comparison purposes, the same Jaice Spring and Heather Ryan were all smiles on the first day of the 2013-2014 academic year at Crown Point Central School. survey was completed by a control group of 104 students from similar demographics who were not participating in the CFES program.

During the last 22 years, CFES has helped make college a reality for more than 75,000 low-income, first-generation youth by raising academic aspirations and performance.

CFES currently serves 20,000 students, known as CFES Scholars, in 200 urban and rural schools across 24 states. For more information, visit www. collegefes.org

Moriah hopes to make building improvements Town seeking grant for Iron Center, town hall

PORT HENRY Ñ The town of Moriah hopes to make improvements to a pair of historic buildings.

The town is seeking a grant from the Department of New York State Parks and Recreation to refurbish the town hall and adjacent Iron Center museum. Both buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places.

“We (town officials) have a responsibility to care for these buildings, but money is always an issue,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò WeÕ re submitting a grant application and hope we are approved.Ó The town hall, located at Park Place in Port Henry, is the former headquarters of the Witherbee & Sherman Mining Co. Next to it is the Iron Center, the former Witherbee & Sherman carriage house.

Town government offices and other agencies are now located in the town hall, while the Iron Center is home to the Moriah Historical Society and its museum. Ò MoriahÕ s town hall borrows heavily from the traditions of European history while being very much of its time and place in the New World,” according to a profile completed by the historical society. Ò Next door, the old, Italianate style carriage house was designed to resemble a 17th century Italian villa. Yet, it was used as a mineral testing laboratory Ñ a very advanced use of technology for the time.Ó If Moriah can secure grant money, officials hope to change the town hallÕ s handicap access, widen doors and install a handicapaccessible rest room.

Plans also call for the buildingÕ s original, ornate doors to be restored, for a windows to be replaced by decorative windows that were originally part of the structure and for painting. Ò During the summer you canÕ t believe the number of people who stop just to take pictures of the (town hall) building,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò The original doors are beautiful, mahogany. TheyÕ ll change the appearance of the entire building. The original windows, which were removed to conserve energy, have rounded tops and are much larger than the ones here now.Ó Work to the Iron Center would include installing handicap access to the upstairs research area, painting, rebuilding its entry doors and replacing the gutter system. Ò These are beautiful buildings owned by the people of Moriah,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò We canÕ t let these great resources just fall apart.Ó

People interested in volunteering can contact Bruce at lbruce@nycap.rr.com or at 532-7101.

The Essex County Retired & Senior Volunteer Program is assisting Bruce in the search for volunteer drivers. Ò If you are looking for a rewarding volunteer opportunity, drivers are needed,Ó said Barbara Brassard, RSVP program director. Ò You do not have to sign up to be an RSVP volunteer but may if you are 55 or older.Ó Bruce, who recently received a RSVP Director Award for her work with the veterans van, said any adult can volunteer to drive the van.

All thatÕ s required is a physical and a driverÕ s license. Ò ItÕ s a great opportunity to make friends and help out our veterans,Ó Bruce said. Ò Some of these veterans have no other way to get to their medical appointments. They need the van.Ó Bruce suggested members of veterans groups such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion may be interested.

The veterans van has been serving local vets for nearly two decades.

SCHROON LAKE Ñ Some of AmericaÕ s heroes need help.

Volunteers are being sought to drive the Essex County veterans van that takes former soldiers and sailors to medical appointments. Ò ItÕ s really a great service to our veterans,Ó said Laurie Bruce of Schroon Lake, who coordinates the program operated by the Disabled Veterans of America. Ò But we need people to make certain we can continue the service.Ó The van is housed at the town of Schroon highway garage, but itÕ s available to any and all Essex County veterans who need a ride to a medical appoint. Some trips are local, while others go the Veterans Administration clinics in Albany, Glens Falls and Plattsburgh. Ò We take them were they need to go,Ó Bruce said.

There are now three drivers available for the veterans van service Ñ Bruce, John Demers and Roy Bristol, although Demers has plans to go south for the winter. Ò WeÕ re short-handed,Ó Bruce said. Ò We need someone to step up to the plate and volunteer to drive our veterans.Ó RENT AT FRIEDMAN REALTY-MAIN ST. SCHROON VILLAGE Volunteers are on call, responding to the medical needs of veterans, Bruce explained. Ò Sometimes we make 2-3 Route 9, South of Schroon Village trips a week and other weeks we donÕ t have any,Ó she said. Ò It all depends on the medical appointments of our veterans.Ó 5 X 10 - $40.00 / 10 X 10 - $60.00 / 10 X 15 - $80.00 / 10 X 20 - $95.00 The number of trips any driver makes depends on his LAST MONTH FREE WITH 1 YEAR PREPAID RENTAL or her availability and how 44411

The Adirondack Marathon will begin in downtown Schroon Lake Sunday with the handcyclists at 8:50 a.m. and runners at 9 a.m.

The marathon, 26 miles, 385 yards, circumnavigates Schroon Lake over challenging forest roads with lakeside views until it finishes back at the Schroon town beach. The marathon course is a Boston qualifier, USATF certified course and is billed as Ò probably the most beautiful 26 miles and 385 yards you will ever run.Ó Ò Pace bearsÓ will help runners in the marathon. 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 Stanley Larkin of Saint-basile-le-grand, Quebec, won the 2012 menÕ s marathon in 2 hours, 53 minutes, 24 seconds, while Meg Ray of New York City claimed the womenÕ s title in 3:18:54. In the handcycle race, Jeremy Shortsleeve of Jericho, Vt., won the race in 1:48:44.

The marathoners have company over the second half of the course as half marathoners toe the starting line in Adirondack and race to the finish in Schroon Lake 13.1 miles later. The half marathon will begin at 10 a.m.

Readers of Ò Competitor.comÓ have named the half marathon along Schroon Lake as the best in the Northeast.

Michael Brady of Brooklyn won the 2012 menÕ s half marathon in 1:14:22. Melanie Staley of Saratoga Springs won the womenÕ s title in 1:27:00.

Half marathon awards will be presented at 1 p.m., marathon awards at 2 p.m. and a postrace party will be held at 4 p.m. at WitherbeeÕ s Restaurant.

For information on the marathon, half marathon and relays go online at www.adirondackmarathon.org.

During SundayÕ s races several area roads will be closed or restricted 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Affected roads include Hoffman Road, Alder Meadow Road, Tyrrell Road, Severance Road, Adirondack Road, Red Wing Road, East Shore Drive, East Schroon River Road, Glendale Road and Route 9.

The Bulls dropped a 40-20 decision in a game that was closer than most expected. While disappointed to lose, Gilbo has a lifetime memory. Ò I heard a lot of people say I wasnÕ t big enough, I wasnÕ t fast enough,Ó Gilbo said. Ò I just wanted to play football. ThatÕ s my dream — to play football. Every time I step on the field I give it my all. IÕ ve worked hard and my dream is coming true.Ó Gilbo made an impact in the Ohio State game, his first career Division I contest. The linebacker had four tackles, three unassisted, a sack for a 7-yard loss and he forced a Buckeye fumble.

In the second quarter Gilbo stuffed an Ohio State back on a 4th-and-1 play at midfield. Ò I got up all excited,Ó he recalled. Ò I said to myself, Ô I belong here. I can play with these guys.Õ Ó Gilbo wasnÕ t the only one excited. Ò It didnÕ t seem real, watching my son on national television,Ó said Becki Gilbo, NickÕ s mother. Ò Our living room was full of family and friends watching every play. It was great.Ó While mom was unable to make the trek to Columbus, Ohio, for the game, NickÕ s father, Pete, and brother, Nate, were on hand along with some friends. Ò My husband and sons have been involved in football their entire lives,Ó Becki said. Ò For them to see Nick play at Ohio State was a great experience.Ó Gilbo got another chance to play top-flight competition Sept.

7 when Buffalo traveled to Waco, Texas, to face No. 23 Baylor.

The Bulls lost, 70-13, but Gilbo recorded four tackles, three unassisted.

ItÕ s believed Gilbo is the only area gridder to play Division I football.

Gilbo was an all-state linebacker and fullback at Moriah High School. He led the Vikings to the state Class D championship game as a sophomore and a junior. The club reached the state semifinals his senior season. Ò ThereÕ s nothing like Moriah football,Ó Gilbo said. Ò That whole experience Ñ Friday night under the lights at Linney Field; everyone in town coming out Ñ is really special. ThereÕ s nothing like Moriah football.Ó Playing for Coach Don Tesar at Moriah helped make Gilbo a Division I player, he said.

“Moriah definitely helped prepare me for this level of competition,Ó Gilbo said. Ò I really learned a lot playing in Moriah.Ó Gilbo graduated from Moriah 2011. With no Division I scholarship offers he went to Hudson Valley Community College, where he played the 2011 season. Ò It was a good experience,Ó Gilbo recalled. Ò I had to work hard for every rep. The competition was very good.Ó When he got an offer to attend the University of Buffalo as a walk on (non-scholarship player), he jumped at the chance. He redshirted last season and played on the BullsÕ scout team Ñ the reserves who mimic the opposition in practice. Ò That was different, knowing I couldnÕ t play in any games,Ó Gilbo said. Ò But I worked hard to give the starting offense a good look at what was coming on Saturday. The scout team is important; those players are as important as anyone on the team.Ó This past off season Gilbo trained relentlessly preparing for summer camp. When the Bulls began practice in August Gilbo got noticed. Ò I worked my tail off the entire off season and all of summer camp,Ó he said. Ò I gave it everything I had, every drill, every play.Ó Gilbo was still a walk on, paying his own way to school. That all changed when the Bulls closed their pre-season camp. Head Coach Jeff Quinn awarded Gilbo a scholarship. Ò Nick is a competitor,Ó Quinn said. Ò You see it in his prep and drill work. He has a deep passion for the game. Nick has really made himself stick out with our coaching staff.Ó The scholarship means a lot to Gilbo. It pays for his college education and certifies him as Division I player. Ò ItÕ s been a long journey, but I never gave up the dream of playing Division I football,Ó Gilbo said. Ò It really means a lot that my coaches recognized the work IÕ ve put in.Ó

Nick Gilbo Gilbo, at 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds, is sharing an inside linebacker spot with Lee Skinner, another Bull. They rotate between defensive series to keep fresh people on the field. Ò ItÕ s a good rotation, a good system,Ó he said. Ò Coach always wants fresh people on the field.”

Playing national college powers like Ohio State and Baylor is a long way from playing at Moriah.

“When we flew to Ohio State it was the first time I’d ever been on an airplane,Ó Gilbo said. Ò You really feel special, like youÕ re playing at the top level. Ò To play at Ohio State was unbelievable,Ó he continued. Ò IÕ d never seen that many people and it was the loudest place IÕ ve ever been. You try to tune all that out when you’re on the field, you try to have tunnel vision, but you know itÕ s special. I was mind blowing; just crazy.Ó Gilbo believes his Buffalo team has the potential to have a special season in 2013. The Bulls hope to compete for the Mid-American Conference championship and a trip to a bowl game. Ò Our goal is to get to the MAC championship game and see what happens,Ó Gilbo said. Ò I think we can do that.Ó

TICONDEROGA Ñ There was little suspense at the annual Footrace at the Falls in Ticonderoga.

Chris Shaw of Delmar led wire to wire in winning the 5-kilometer cross country race in TiconderogaÕ s Bicentennial Park. He was clocked in 18 minutes, 53 seconds.

Joshua Cook of Putnam was second in 19:42 with Matt Karkoski of Ticonderoga third in 20:18.

Patricia Butcher of Hawthorne, N.J., claimed the womenÕ s race in a time of 23:49.

Deidre Donohue was second in 26:10 and Karen Schrawder of Kempton, Pa., was third in 27:27.

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

Race proceeds 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 There was little suspense at the anSchroon Lake. nual Footrace at the Falls in TiconResults include: deroga.

Home grown Bio-Engineering!

F

all is coming and the leaves on the trees and bushes are just starting to turn yellow. The white ash were first to show some signs, now I see some maples in my area turning. It wonÕ t be long before we have the full spectrum of fall colors. What a great way to start the day, admiring natureÕ s slide show.

Cows and turkeys in the pasture and deer eating under the wild apple trees, all in view, while we look out a window over morning coffee.

As the day length grows shorter, it signals the trees and bushes that winter is on the way. The plants start to undergo a dormancy preparation process. The willow leaves will start turning yellow. As a fisherman and stream restoration guy, the yellow leaves get me thinking about bio-engineering and fish habitat.

In the past many civil engineers would use concrete, rebar and large stone in various projects to control erosion. In many places this type of stream stabilization is required due to high velocities and steep banks. However, due to costs and a greater understanding of the stream morphology process, woody materials along with live plants are being considered more and more.

Bio-engineering is a mix of hard core engineering along with biological methods. The bio in bio-engineering means biological. This means we utilize plant species such as willow and dogwoods along with other trees to help stabilize road and stream banks.

For the Ò do it yourselfer,Ó stream side landowners, who wish to stabilize their stream banks, bio-engineering is perfect. Using willow and dogwood plants in the form of cuttings, fascines, stakes and posts can make a seemingly complicated and expensive process simple and low cost.

Once the willows in your area turn yellow, it means that they are going into winter dormancy. This means that all the carbohydrate storage for their roots has been completed. The plant has stored enough energy to get through

the winter, so taking cuttings will not harm the plants.

Cuttings are just that, you take a pair of hand nippers or brush trimmers and cut off sections or cuttings of the willow.

The

By Rich Redman best cuttings are taken near the base of the plant. Try to cut the stems that are about the thickness of your finger. You then slice the cuttings into one or two foot sections and then just poke them into the soft moist mud along the shoreline. Try to get them into the mud as far as possible. One half of the cutting should be in the ground getting moisture, and the other half out worked for me in the past.

You need to leave part of the plant out of the ground so the sun gets to the new leaves that will form in the spring.

I have seen the upside down planting mistakes happen in the past, so, donÕ t laugh. Make sure you donÕ t put them in upside down and put them in a sunny place, willows need lots of sunlight!

Fascines are tied bundles of willow or dogwood plants that are partially buried along the stream bank. Each bundle has about a dozen cuttings, each being about 4 to 6 feet long in length.

You need to dig a shallow horizontal trench, just above the waterline pointing downstream at about 45 degrees to the stream bank. Bury the bundle in the trench, with the tip end of the plants sweeping out in the stream. You only need about a foot of the plant sticking out of the trench. Too much of the tops sticking out will allow the water to catch them and possible

pull them out. The soft tops should flex with the waters flow. Once the bundle is buried, I like to place some large rocks on top of the buried fascine to prevent scouring and to hold the plants in place until they root the following season.

Stakes can be taken from the same plants, but they must be from thicker branches, about one or two inches in diameter. The stakes can be about one or two feet in length. Sharpen one end and then pound the stake in with a hammer or sledge. Try not to smash the top where you pound. Once you have the stake in place, cut off the top where you pounded, so there is a clean even cut to form new growth in the spring. A good pair of brush trimmers with a sharp edge will do the trick.

Willow posts are large cuttings that are taken from a black or weeping willow tree.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure.

In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact forinformation about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-226-5697 or visit the Department's website at www.dfs.ny.gov.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to "save" your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner's

distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
