Moriah business park to expand

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com MINEVILLE — The Moriah Business Park is going to expand.

The Essex County Industrial Development Agency, which owns and operates the Mineville facility, has plans to construct a new 3,000 square foot building at the site. Ò The Moriah park is full; we have no space left to offer,” Jodi Olcott, IDA co-director, said. “We’re confident we can attract business to Moriah, if we have

available space. We believe we can offer a small, energy-efficient space with little overhead to an interested business.”

The Moriah Business Park is now home to Pre-Tech Plastics, High Peaks Hospice and Hudson Headwaters Health Network.

Olcott said space at the Moriah Business Park is affordable, pointing out commercial space rents for about $10 a square foot in Plattsburgh and $4 in Moriah.

“We can offer low rent for a long term,” she said. Ò WeÕ re looking for a tenant who may be just starting out who can use it as an incubator to grow their

Olcott said permits allow for a 10,000 square foot building on the site, so the new 3,000 square foot building can be expanded, if needed.

The Moriah Business Park is “shovel ready,” Olcott said. All permits are in place for construction at the site, which has been prepared by students in the environmental science classes at nearby Champlain Valley Tech.

Ti Deacon marks milestone anniversary.

By Fred Herbst TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga Elementary-Middle School will be locked down as part of a safety drill Oct. 17.

Students, faculty and staff will implement a new plan designed to protect them in the event of an emergency at the building. Ò ItÕ s basically the opposite of a fire drill,” John Donohue, principal, said of the drill. Ò In a fire drill you get everyone out of the building as quickly as possible. In a lock down we move everyone to a secure location inside as quickly as possible.”

The drill will be the first time the Ticonderoga school districtÕ s new safety program will be tested. The plan was developed, with help from local police and others, following last yearÕ s Sandy Hook school shootings in Connecticut.

Ticonderoga police and other law enforcement agencies will take part in the Oct. 17 lock down drill. Ò We have been working with the school district on updating their emergency action plans,” Ticonderoga Police Chief Mark Johns said. “We have also met with the local

Ti family homeless following fire

TICONDEROGA Ă‘ A Ticonderoga family is homeless following a fire Oct. 1.

The Ticonderoga Fire Department responded to the blaze in a mobile home at 45 Burgoyne Road at about 10 p.m.

The home suffered smoke damage throughout, but the actual fire was confined to the bathroom. Fire officials believe the blaze started in the bathroom because of an electrical malfunction.

About 35 firefighters responded to the call. No injuries were reported.

A family of seven, two adults and five children, were living in the home, according to the American Red Cross in Plattsburgh.

The Red Cross is now assisting the family.

The home is owned by Laura Fuller, but fire officials did not know the names of the residents.

Assisting at the scene was the Ticonderoga water department when a pipe burst and Niagara Grid, which cut power to the home.

The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad also responded.

Bishop to preach at Ticonderoga church on Oct. 20

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The First United Methodist Church will welcome Bishop Mark Webb to Ticonderoga Sunday, Oct. 20.

Webb will participate in the 10:30 a.m. worship service, which will be followed by a reception in the fellowship hall. Ò WeÕ re very pleased that Bishop Webb will be coming to our church,” said Pastor Scott Tyler of the First United Methodist Church. “He is a dynamic speaker and very outgoing.”

Webb has been visiting churches throughout his jurisdiction as Episcopal leader of the Upper New York State area. The Ticonderoga Methodist Church is one of 15 churches where Webb will preach and visit with the congregations. There are nearly 930 churches under WebbÕ s leadership.

The bishop is new in his job.

He was elected bishop July 19

and took his new post Sept. 1.

“People have been very receptive to us,” Webb said in a statement. Ò The role of a bishop is one of leadership and oversight.

We have about 182,000 members in our churches and 923 local congregations here, so itÕ s a lot of folks and territory to get to know.”

Webb holds a masterÕ s in divinity degree from Asbury Theological Seminary and a bachelorÕ s degree from Shippensburg University. He became district superintendent of the York District of the Susquehanna Conference in 2007 following pastorates in Mechanicsburg, Pa., Wormleysburg, Pa., and Linglestown, Pa. He has served on various district and conference committees and was a delegate to general and

jurisdictional Conferences.

As a consultant in the areas of congregational development, leadership development, stewardship and small groups, Webb encourages churches to work together to develop strategies and outcomes.

Webb is a native of Williamsport, Pa., and is married to Jodi Webb. They have two sons, Tyler and Benjamin.

All are welcome to attend services at the First United Methodist Church, which is located at 1045 Wicker St. Services are held each Sunday at 8:30 a.m. with Communion and 10:30 a.m. with childrenÕ s message and Sunday School.

Elvis performance to aid historical society Jim Cawley performance slated for Oct. 19 at Ti High School

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Elvis is coming to Ticonderoga.

James Cawley of Ticonderoga, an Elvis impersonator, will perform a benefit show for the Ticonderoga Historical Society Saturday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m. at the Ticonderoga High School auditorium.

Tickets are $15 for general admission and $20 for VIP center stage seating. Tickets can be purchased by calling 585-7355.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. for raffles and refreshments with the 75-minute show starting at 7 p.m.

Proceeds from the show will assist the Ticonderoga Histori-

cal Society. Bill Dolback, society president, said the society needs $14,000 to heat its home, the Hancock House, as well as money for new computers, a microfiche reader and a federally-mandated upgrade to its security system. Ò ThereÕ s a lot of special needs coming up on top of our regular operating costs,” Dolback said, “as well as our ultimate goal to build a carriage barn for an event/performance space.”

Established 116 years ago, the Ticonderoga Historical Society has advanced and preserved local history through its collection of photographs, manuscripts, books and artifacts housed in the Hancock House, a 1926 duplicate of patriot John Hancock’s home in Boston.

The historical society also presents community programs and is active in community outreach.

Cawley, a Ticonderoga native, said he will always consider the community as home. He said he appreciates the work of the Ti-

conderoga Historical Society. Ò Ticonderoga always had a very special community Ñ very strong,” he said. “It’s what kept me coming back. There has been so many changes and without the historical society weÕ d be losing a lot.”

The live concert will feature Cawley and his Las Vegas show band.

Cawley has performed his re-creation of ElvisÕ live Las Vegas show the past 24 years with sold-out concerts across the nation at casinos, theme parks and theatres. His resemblance to the “King” in appearance, mannerism and voice earned him the top ranking in the nation out of more than 2,500 impersonators – chosen by a special committee of ElvisÕ personal associates selected by Graceland.

Cawley has appeared in concert with the “Jordanaires,” Elvis’ original back up quartet.

Ti supervisor candidates agree to debate Dates, details need to be worked out

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga voters may have an opportunity to see supervisor candidates face off in a debate.

Incumbent Supervisor Deb Malaney has challenged Republican challenger Bill Grinnell and independent candidate Steve Whitford to a debate before the Nov. 5 general election. Ò The people of Ticonderoga deserve to hear directly from each candidate for supervisor before Election Day,” Malaney said. “We need an open discussion about our experience, qualifications and plans for Ticonderoga’s future.”

Grinnell said he will welcome a debate, al-

though he wants to know the dates, formats and details before formally agreeing. Ò I am absolutely willing to have a debate with Ms. Malaney and Mr. Whitford,” Grinnell said. Ò I certainly would relish the opportunity to address the issues facing Ticonderoga.”

Whitford is also willing to debate, but said his participation will depend on the dates. Ò IÕ m more than willing to discuss the issues in this election,” he said. “It all depends when they want to debate.”

Whitford said he will be out of town at the end of October.

Malaney said she is running on her record in office. She is a two-term incumbent. Ò I am the only candidate to put forward a viable plan to provide safe and reliable, affordable drinking water, the only candidate with experience crafting a municipal budget, and the only candidate with a history of attracting new

businesses to our community,” she said.

Grinnell, a long-time Ticonderoga businessman, believes Ticonderoga needs a change of leadership. Ò There are options for TiconderogaÕ s infrastructure, economy and future that need to be considered,” he said. “We need to take a fresh look at town government.”

Unlike his rivals, who are fiscal conservatives, Whitford sees a need to raise taxes in Ticonderoga. Ò We can not continue to cut our budgets as there is not a lot left to trim,” he said. “We need to exceed the 2 percent tax cap in order to move ahead. I am a taxpayer, too. I do not want to pay anymore to the government, but we can not support the much-needed repairs around our town. Many roads, sidewalks, water and sewer infrastructure, town buildings are in grave need of repair Ñ not to mention the debt load our

community carries. Ò We need to increase our revenue in baby steps to bring these debts under control,” he said.

Whitford has served on the Ticonderoga town board the past eight years. He worked 20 years as a patrolman in the Ti Police Department.

Malaney and Grinnell have opposing positions on several key issues facing the town, including the on-going water project and the need for a town manager. Ò This election comes down to a very clear choice,” Malaney said. “Do we continue to move Ticonderoga forward or do we go backwards?”

Grinnell agreed the choice is clear. Ò A lot of people are upset with the current administration and believe Ticonderoga needs a change,” he said. “I’ll provide that change.”

Ti chamber to hold raffle

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce will again hold Ò Five Hundred Dollar Fridays.”

Every Friday in December, TACC will give away $500. For a $20 donation people will receive a ticket for a chance to win. “Five Hundred Dollar Fridays” tickets will be available at the TACC office throughout the months of October and November.

Only 300 tickets are available.

“Stop by to make your donation and get a ticket for a chance to win before they are gone,” said Matthew Courtright chamber executive director.

Drawing dates will be Dec. 6, 13, 20 and 27. All money will be given in the form of a TACC check.

Each ticket will have a coordinating number. Tickets will be hand drawn at random every Friday in December. All proceeds will benefit the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce in its efforts to serve, market and promote the Ticonderoga area. The TACC will also donate $500 to be distributed among local food pantries.

Times of Ti Editorial

Viewpoint

Government watchdogs non-existent

Shutdown not why we sent them to Washington

n 1835 Alexis de Tocqueville warned of the possibility of a democratic nation sliding subtly, almost imperceptibly into a state of dictatorship.

“The first thing that strikes the observation is an innumerable multitude of men, all equal and alike, incessantly endeavoring to procure the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives,” he wrote. “...he exists but in himself and for himself, and if his kindred still remain to him, he may be said at any rate to have lost his country.”

We live in a world where our democracy is under attack, and the attackers are the very men and women we continue to elect to protect our rights. It used to be the place of the news media to keep the government in check, but they have largely abdicated that role, and our freedoms are suffering for it.

With recent revelations about successive presidential administrations using the Patriot Act to spy on our day to day phone records, social media usage, even the books we check out of the library, only the slightest murmurs of protest have been heard. The Patriot Act has been re-authorized, and even strengthened, numerous times by politicians of both political stripes.

When legitimate opposition groups have come to the fore, the government has employed the IRS to make the going as difficult for them as possible.

The revelations about our governmentÕ s efforts to spy on its own people have come primarily from two people. The first, Bradley Manning, now sits in a military prison where he is serving a 35 year sentence, and the other, Edward Snowden, is in exile in Russia, likely for the rest of his life.

Senators have publicly called for the death penalty for Snowden if he is ever tried here. Neither used an American media outlet to air their information.

The response from the American press? They have been dutifully silent, content to report on the latest petty and paltry pleasures de Tocqueville warned about.

Neither of these men will be confused with John Jay or Alexander Hamilton, but for the current day and age, any voice in the wilderness will do.

From the time of the Federalist Papers, right up to the era of Watergate, the media understood and accepted its role as watchdog, digging to uncover wrongdoing by politicians from either of the ruling parties. ItÕ s now become a lapdog, happy for the occasional morsel that might fall from the table of the ruling elite. Cutting edge journalism has become who gets the newest Anthony Wiener pic out first.

Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels saw the importance of a complicit media when he wrote: “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which government can play.”

While we have all been collectively distracted by the minutia of our own lives, our government has quietly but decisively learned to play the media like GoebbelsÕ great keyboard. Even the Ò opposition media” of AM talk radio serves as little more than a launching pad for the books, CDs, t-shirts and even iced tea hawked by the carnival barkers who pass for the voice of the opposition in this country.

Even on the local level, government controls access to the media with an iron grip. State workers fear for their jobs if they speak to the media. Even the stateÕ s public information specialists cannot answer freely, instead insisting questions be submitted in advance, so answers can be vetted by elected officials, when answered at all. The top DOT official in Essex County recently claimed he was targeted by the state for speaking to the media, and was forced to retire.

Many saw the internet and social media as the last great bastion for democratic thought and political dissent. While that certainly exists to some extent, with the recent revelations of government spying, how long could a political dissident survive online before coming onto the governmentÕ s radar screen?

A meaningful national shield law would be the first step to righting this listing ship, if it hasn’t in fact already capsized. There is currently a bill before the shuttered government called the Free Flow of Information Act which, if passed, would be a baby step in the direction of journalistic freedom.

Even if this law is passed, without an aggressive and inquisitive national media, the law would be all but irrelevant. National journalists currently have nothing they need to shield themselves from, except possibly the most recent Anthony Wiener pic. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Theft a problem

Lake George needs help

To the Times of Ti:

To the Times of Ti:

The First United Methodist Church Thrift Shop has served the community for many years. It offers clothing and household items at very reasonable prices. It could not exist without the wonderful donations from the community. It is staffed by volunteers who sort these items on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and who work when the shop is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

We have an outside donation box to receive clothing and small items after hours. Many times items are left outside the donation box and are then subject to weather, and, worse, theft. You would not think anyone would steal from a church, but, sadly, it happens.

We are asking the community to please contact us when they have donations that don’t fit in or shouldn’t be left outside the box. We will then arrange a time to receive your donations. You can contact the Thrift Shop at 585-2242, or the church office at 585-7995.

Thank you for your cooperation, and continued support.

One has to wonder why all the fuss about Lake George pollution from transient boats is being made! I have been on the lake since the 1940s and have seen a decline in its waters for several years! Long before anyone ever heard of zebra mussels, milfoil or water chestnuts thousands of camps have been dumping wastewater into the lake. With multi-million dollar mansions one would expect sewer systems to be installed around the lake to protect it from contaminants! Even moderate camps are priced out of reach making the lake a playground for those who could well afford to pay for sewers.

Boaters are also at fault dumping porta-potties overboard as well as bilge oil! There was a time when boaters were responsible and boating on the lake was a pleasure. This has changed with cigarette boats flying up and down the lake polluting not only the water but also the quietness! Large cruisers are also a problem going too fast in narrow passages putting out wakes that are damaging the shoreline along the land and islands. The Mohican alone is responsible for more shoreline damage than any other vessel as it plies its way north.

Marinas are all about making money and over the years gas and oil has seeped into every section of the lake. I can remember a time when I could leave my boat at the dock for an entire season and the bottom would be as clean as when I launched it.

Now it only takes a few days for a hull to be covered with an oil slick and God knows what else.

I am sure this letter will infuriate some of the offenders I have mentioned but as the saying goes “It is what it is!” For too many years the Lake George Club and others looked at the lakeÕ s demise and have talked a good talk. I believe Lake George is still savable but it will take more than checking transient boats that are a part of the problem!

A sewer system around the lake needs to be constructed and funds should come from those who are doing the polluting! If one can afford millions or hundreds of thousands of dollars for a lakeside camp they can pay for sewers to carry their waste away from the lake. Many can remember when Lake George camps took their drinking water directly from the lake and one could see the bottom in 30 or more feet! Lake George is in danger of becoming a cesspool as septic systems leach down to the rock below and then into the Lake.

I have done scuba in every area of the lake and the silt at the bottom is spread throughout. Once one could see only rock or sand on the lakeÕ s bottom but now there are places with several feet of slime that makes visibility zero if touched by a diver!

Boaters who want to use the lake are charged an annual fee that has risen making it hard for middle-income people. Steam cleaning will add even more cost and there should be a way to make it less. The lake has become in many ways a place for those who can afford whatever it cost and they are dictating its future. Government, from the state to local towns and villages around the lake, have allowed the deterioration of it by allowing too many homes and camps to be built on its shores without regard for the pollution that comes with them. People feeding geese and ducks

and washing their bodies in the lake are also a big problem but this too in not addressed! The camping islands have inadequate sanitary facilities and campers relieve themselves without regard for where the waste will end up.

It is time for everyone to take their share of the blame and do something before itÕ s too late. Steam cleaning transient boats is not going to solve the problems faced by Lake George. The effects of the pollution in the lake are going to continue as long as a sewer system is not installed and all the steam cleaning in the world wonÕ t make a difference!

Community cure To the Times of Ti: On Sept. 4, 2013, our family heard news that no family should have to hear and at that moment we were not sure what was to come. Our 6-year-old son Mason was diagnoses with Leukemia and immediately started treatment at Fletcher Allen Health Care the same day.

We were a complete mess after hearing the diagnosis, but it did not take us long to decide we had to put up a strong front for Mason. From that point on we decided Mason would not see his parents break down and that in every way possible his life was going to be normal.

For anyone that knows Mason you can imagine some of the first things that he said when we started to tell him about his unhealthy cells and all the things that would be different or that could happen. One of these things was not being able to play football and, of course, Mason started to cry and immediately said, “Well can I at least be a coach still.” It almost broke our hearts but, of course, we told him not to worry and that he could always help.

On Sept. 13, Mason was able to come home from the hospital.

Sept. 20 he watched the home youth football games and on Sept.

19 he attended his first day of school and I am not sure any of this would have been possible without all of the love, support and prayers from the community, school, friends, family and our employers/co-workers at St. Joseph’s and Inter-Lakes Health.

It was not long after we came home that we heard a group of football parents wanted to plan a benefit for Mason and on Sept. 28 there was a Team Mason Pep Rally/Tail Gate Party held during the youth football games here in town. The team work that it took to pull this off was amazing and all of the people that turned out in support of Mason truly proves that it takes a community to cure.

Yes, the doctors give the medicine, but some of the most important medicines in life come from love, support and prayers that you get from a small community like ours. Thank you all.

Mason is a trooper and our family will continue to fight this as brave and as strong as we can.

President Obama’s Bus Tour: Get on Board, It’s Not about Politics

P

resident ObamaÕ s proposal to rate AmericaÕ s colleges is the most important educational policy step taken in a long while. In late August, on a bus tour through New York and Pennsylvania, the President unveiled his plan to rate colleges on access, affordability and student outcomes and to tie federal support for student loans to these metrics.

At a time when AmericaÕ s viability depends on increasing the number and proportion of citizens with college degrees, we are sabotaging our NationÕ s future by allowing college costs to spiral out of control, thereby burdening a generation with onerous debt and blocking others from even entering the college gates.

Over the last five years, tuition at public fouryear colleges increased 27 percent beyond inflation, while at private colleges, that increase is 13 percent.

One explanation for rampant tuition increases centers on the economic crash of 2008. Since the bust, colleges have failed to curb spending on bricks and mortar, tenured professors, health care, and technology, while states have passed off increases in higher education spending directly to students and their families.

This helps explain why tuition costs have risen faster than healthcare, energy, and even housing.

Because only the rich can afford todayÕ s college costs, middle and low-income students have been forced to borrow money and absorb massive loan debt. Today, two thirds of those graduating from college are debt ridden, a per student average thatÕ s close to $27,000. Student loan debt in the USA totals a staggering $1.2 trillion.

ItÕ s ironic that as the cost for college grows, the greater the need for higher education. We, as a Nation, need college graduates more today than ever before. A college degree currently has the same value on the job market that a high school diploma had a generation ago. In 10 years, there will be 20 million jobs in the United

States that go unfilled because we don’t have enough qualified workers.

As the leader of a national organization that is currently helping 20,000 low-income students get to college, I see firsthand the impact of an exploitive tuition system. Josh, a young man from Harlem whose mother is on welfare, is saddled with a $14,000 tuition bill from Penn State before he can return for his senior year.

Tiffany graduates from the University of California system owing $38,000-- more money than her single father has earned the past two years.

There are real stories and there are countless more out there.

Now there’s finally a long-overdue plan that promises to curb costs, reduce student debt, and advocate for students like Josh and Tiffany and the thousands of other young people being priced out of the one opportunity – a college degree – that can pull them (and in many cases, their families) out of poverty. This plan will rate colleges on measures like tuition, graduation rates, debt and earnings of graduates, and the number of low-income students who attend.

The new rating system would be adopted by 2015 and three years later, students attending highly rated colleges would receive larger grants and more affordable loans.

No surprise, thereÕ s already plenty of opposition to the rating plan. Lamar Alexander, current U.S. Senator and former university president and U.S. secretary of education, believes that ratings should be created by each state and not Washington. Others have expressed concern about the flaws inherent in formulas and data collection.

While the states offer about $12 billion each year in student loans, the federal government spends $150 billion annually, giving the feds the leverage they need to prod colleges into making desperately needed changes.

Of course the metrics offered by the Department of Education need to be refined but we have four years to do so. This plan is a critical first step and one, we as a Nation, cannot af-

ford to miss. Will data collection be difficult?

Yes, but the Obama plan points the dial in the right direction, and it will make colleges pay attention. Making college affordable isnÕ t just good for students itÕ s absolutely necessary for our country.

This rating plan unlike the US News and World Report rubric is not a beauty contest, itÕ s about substance. ItÕ s about making colleges af-

fordable and truly accessible. ItÕ s about reviving the American Dream.

The plan is not about politics, but we need politicians to make it truly effective. Contact your legislator to express your support. Get on board.

Rick Dalton is the President and CEO of College For Every Student.

Dan Alexander From page 6 blame both parties. Those numbers alone prove how successful the politicians have been at dividing the country. With no majority opinion they are free to play their games.

Adding to the problem is a national media more concerned about their bottom lines than investigative reporting. For every strong right wing argument someone on the left has a counter argument they see as more realistic. Conversely for every left wing argument someone on the right has a counter argument they see as more realistic. Neither side is accountable to the American public as a whole and the national media are serving as enablers for a government without a true non partisan watchdog. Without an accurate independent gauge, the public gravitates to the information that affirms their beliefs right or left. That only Results in greater animosity and doubt in the motives of both sides and making the divide between the two parties even greater with every passing day.

Somehow, someway we need to return to our true core values. Earlier last week there was a news story regarding a soccer event. When the national anthem was to be sung the public address system went out. In unison over 15,000 spectators began singing the national anthem.

Instinctively people knew what to do and how they felt about the country. Liberals and conservatives both love this country but instead of working to solve the minor differences we have weÕ ve allowed the media and the politicians to pit us against each other. That simple fact underscores everything about this shutdown.

When it comes to issues and politics weÕ ve lost the instinctive ability to recognize fact from fiction, to see the difference between those helping themselves at our expense and those genuinely sincere about serving their country. Day by day we are losing our way in the wilderness and neither side has put forth a leader that the country as a whole can have true faith in and get behind.

ItÕ s a sad commentary for a once proud nation, now lost in its own successes and careening further off course with every passing day.

Ti deacon observes 25th anniversary Elliott Shaw marks 25 years at St. Mary’s Church

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Faith. Family. Friends.

ThatÕ s the formula for a good life, according to Elliott Shaw.

“The three Fs will get you where you need to go,” Shaw said. Ò Throughout my studies I was always taught God is at the center of all life, but we need to remember our commitments to family and friends. There should never be any question about priorities — its faith, family, friends.”

Shaw celebrated his 25th anniversary as a Catholic deacon Oct. 1. A life-long Ticonderoga resident, Shaw serves St. MaryÕ s Church in Ti. He was served seven different pastors in his tenure.

“It’s been a good run,” Shaw said. “It was a very good decision to become a deacon. IÕ ve really enjoyed my work and all the people I’ve met.”

Shaw, a member of the Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus, will be honored at a breakfast at the Knights following the 8 a.m.

Mass Sunday, Oct. 20.

Following five years of training, Shaw was ordained a deacon Oct. 1, 1988.

Deacons assist priests by visiting the sick, teaching the faith, counseling couples and individuals, working on parish committees and councils, and giving advice to the pastor. Deacons can baptize, witness marriages, perform funeral and burial services outside of Mass, distribute Holy Communion and preach the homily.

Deacons, like priests and bishops, are considered members of the clergy in the Catholic Church. Ò I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for all the wonderful gifts that Deacon Elliot brings to the parish,” said Fr. Kevin McEwan, St. MaryÕ s Church pastor. Ò From his outreach to the home bound to his care at the nursing home. For his assistance at all liturgical events as well as his work with altar servers and lay ministers. Also his work with those serving time in our prisons, he brings God into their midst and shows them how they are still loved by God. Ò I am so grateful for all the assistance and blessings that he has brought into my life since my arrival here at St MaryÕ s and Sacred Heart (Crown Point),” he said. “My prayer for him is that God may continue to bless this wonderful man in all that he does to serve God’s people and congratulations on your 25th anniversary!”

A graduate of Ticonderoga High School, Shaw served three

Elliott Shaw celebrated his 25th anniversary as a Catholic deacon Oct. 1. A life-long Ticonderoga resident, Shaw serves St. Mary’s Church in Ti. He credits his wife, Peg, with supporting his ministry. years in the military before coming home to start a 38-year career with International Paper Co. “I’ve always loved the church,” Shaw said. “As a young boy I thought about the priesthood. I was always involved with the church, but became more and more involved when Fr. (Albert) Salmon was pastor here. Eventually I decided to IÕ d like to be a deacon.”

Becoming a deacon is no simple task. Shaw had to spend one weekend a month for four years at Mater Dei College in Ogdensburg to study. He was also required to make a week-long retreat each summer. Once his studies were complete, Shaw spent a year working with a priest, gaining experience. After five years preparation, he was ordained.

“I couldn’t do that today,” said Shaw, age 74. “Traveling all those miles, not know what the weather might bring, was very difficult. It was a lot of hard work.”

Throughout it all, Shaw had the support of his wife, Peg, and six children.

“My wife and family have supported me at every point,” Shaw said. “I couldn’t have done this without Peg’s love and support. SheÕ s the key to everything. And we have great friends who have helped along the way. I canÕ t say enough about the support I’ve received.”

Shaw has been much more than a deacon, according to his daughter Wendy. HeÕ s been a great father and role model, she said.

“We are very proud of our dad for celebrating 25 years as a deacon of St. Mary’s Church,” Wendy said. “We love the strength, guidance, faith and, most of all, unconditional love he has shown

us all our lives. We are proud to call him our dad!”

There are about 70 deacons in the Diocese of Ogdensburg, Shaw said, but heÕ s the only one in the Essex Deanery.

Shaw also serves as the Catholic chaplain at the Moriah Shock Camp, ministering to inmates on a weekly basis.

“It’s one of my favorites things to do,” Shaw said of his work with inmates. Ò ItÕ s turned out to be one of my favorite ministries.

I feel like I make a difference there.”

He has been Moriah Shock chaplain 18 years, delivering Communion, homilies and guidance.

“It’s a big commitment, especially preaching (homilies),” Shaw said. Ò You start on Monday morning and itÕ s a week-long process. You want your talk to be reflective of what you bring to the church and how you view the scriptures and the world.”

Shaw has enjoyed being a deacon.

“I feel God’s hand guiding me,” he said. “The lord has led me, personally, through some rough waters. IÕ ve had water up to my nose, but IÕ ve never been in over my head.

“The Holy Spirit guides us,” Shaw said. “When I’ve veered off in the wrong direction the Holy Spirit gets me back on track.”

Faith is not a sometimes thing, Shaw said.

“Our faith is every day, not just on Sunday,” he said. “We live our faith in everything we do Ñ when we go to the store, when weÕ re at work, when weÕ re visiting with friends. ItÕ s always there.”

Fort Ti to start school program

Ticonderoga From page 1 (North Country) community college and parochial school (St. Mary’s). It is very important for law enforcement officers to know and understand the steps these facilities will take in the event of an emergency. This knowledge allows the law enforcement officers who may need to respond to an incident to handle that emergency situation quicker and more efficiently. Ò The primary reason for having representatives from the Ticonderoga Police Department and other law enforcement agencies present during the drill on the 17th is to enhance our own officer training,” Johns said. “Our presence also gives law enforcement professionals an opportunity to see the schoolÕ s plan in action and allows us to provide feedback to the district if we observe anything which could interfere with a police response in an emergency.”

Ticonderoga Elementary-Middle School is an open school; most classrooms do not have doors. The safety plan has identified secure areas in the building, though, to shelter students in the event of an emergency.

“We have identified secure areas,” Donohue said. “Students will be instructed what to do and where to go in the event of an emergency.”

Before the actual drill Oct. 17, students will be brought together for an assembly, where the plan and the dayÕ s activities will be explained. Following the assembly students will return to their classrooms, where teachers will give further instruction and answer questions.

Students will then take part in the drill, which is expected to take 10-15 minutes.

A second assembly will then be held with students to review the drill. The school district has sent a letter to parents outlining the drill and the dayÕ s activities.

Donohue hopes the drill accomplishes several goals. One is to prepare for an emergency. Another is to remind students they are safe in school.

“We want to reassure our stduents they are safe here,” the principal said. “School violence is a difficult subject, especially for younger children. You have to be very careful how you explain things to a first or second grader.”

Donohue said school officials don’t want to alarm students. Ò Children are going to hear about violence and other school incidents on the news and from others,” he said. “We want them to understand these are very isolated incidents and weÕ re here to protect them.”

While the new emergency plan was prompted by the Sandy Hook shootings, Donohue said it addresses all sorts of potential emergencies. Ò WeÕ re not just preparing for the worst case scenario, weÕ re preparing for all emergencies,” he said. “There could be a medical emergency where we have to quickly clear the halls of students. This plan could be helpful in a number of scenarios.”

Donohue urged parents with concerns or questions about the drill or the emergency plan to contact him at the school. His phone number is 585-7400 ext. 2218 and his email is jdonohue@ ticonderogak12.org.

Verizon cell phone service delayed New tower in Port Henry not yet active

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Port Henry residents wishing to access a new Verizon cell phone tower in the village will have to wait.

Scheduled to go online in September, the tower, located at the end of Spring Street, remains inactive. Ò I canÕ t believe people the number of people who have called wanting to know whatÕ s going on,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said.

“A lot of people want that tower active.”

The tower is complete, but fiber optic lines to the tower are not yet in place. A Verizon spokes-

woman said the company hopes to have the tower active in October.

When it goes live, the “franken-pine” will give local residents improved cell phone coverage and options.

“Customers will have a choice now,” Scozzafava said. Ò No longer will AT&T have a monopoly in our town. Before you pretty much had go with AT&T because they were the only ones with coverage. Now consumers can shop for the best deal.”

AT&T has a tower on Belfrey Mountain in Moriah and towers in Vermont directly across Lake Champlain from the town. The 80-foot tall Spring Street tower is the first for Verizon in Moriah.

Besides improved calling and consumer options, the Verizon tower is also helping out

town and village taxpayers. Verizon is paying $900 a month — $450 to the town of Moriah and $450 to the village of Port Henry — for five years to lease the jointly-owned town-village property. The rent will increase 3 percent each year of the contract.

Moriah, Port Henry and Verizon actually reached an agreement on the cell tower in 2008, but it has taken five years to navigate Adirondack Park Agency regulations. The project was opposed by Terra Mountain LLC, a Vermont

company that owns the adjacent land that includes a out-of-service water tower.

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

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

“I think they (Verizon) did a really nice job,” he said. “If you’re down at the (Port Henry) boat launch and look up you donÕ t even notice it.”

Moriah From page 1 years clearing the land, doing site work,” Olcott said.”We’re ready to go. We hope to start work in November.”

The expansion project will be unique, Olcott said, because the new building will be constructed by a private contractor with help from CV-TechÕ s building and trades classes. Ò WeÕ re looking for a contractor who is willing to have his crew work with students and their instructors from CV-Tech,” Olcott said. “He (the contractor) will have to be patient and be willing to help students learn on the job. We’re seeking a very specialized contractor.”

Interested contractors can contact Olcott at 873-9114 or by Email at jolcott@essexcountyida. com Using student labor, the IDA hopes to finish the building in 2014 and complete the parking lot and landscaping in the spring of 2015.

“We know what CV-Tech students are capable of; they do very good work,” Olcott said. “They can be a great asset.”

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava knows. Moriah used CV-Tech students to build its new court facility adjacent to the town hall at Park Place.

“The (CV-Tech) students did a great job on our court house,” Scozzafava said. “They saved the town a lot of money and gained a lot of valuable experience. They do very good work. WeÕ ve received a lot of favorable comments from state officials on the court house.

“I’m a big believer in the BOCES (CV-Tech) program,” he said. “I think it should be utilized more fully. It’s a great program for students and the community.”

Olcott said students canÕ t do all the work. They canÕ t pour the foundation or erect the trusses, she said. That work at the Moriah court house was done by private contractors.

“They can do almost everything else, though, with the help of a contractor,” Olcott said. “We feel this can be a very good project for the IDA, CV-Tech and the community.”

Supervisor proposes land deal for Essex County casino

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON Ñ Essex County may be out of the running for one of three casinos planned to be built in New York in the next few years, but Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow believes there is still a way to bring gaming to the region.

Essex County was left off the list of potential sites for a gaming facility by New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year after the state and the Akwesane Mohawk Tribe reached a deal that continued to give them exclusive gaming rights in the North Country.

Morrow said that while that route did not pan out for the region, another might.

“I was thinking, who says we have to do it?” Morrow said about government bringing gaming to Essex County. Ò I think that we should get in contact with the tribe and ask if they would want to open a casino.”

Dining

As example, Morrow said he goes to Turning Stone in Verona several times throughout the year to watch shows and do some gambling. The casino is run by the Oneida Tribe, which purchased the land in the 1990s. Ò There has to be a way we could come up with a deal that they could take over the land and run a casino with the county being able to receive sales and occupancy tax,” Morrow said. “It would give so many employment opportunities to the area. Think of the jobs and the sales tax that it would provide here.”

When asked where the casino would be located, Morrow said he felt the obvious choice would be at the former Frontier Town property in North Hudson. Ò I think that this is a win-win just to investigate the possibility,” he said. “You are talking about a location that is right off the Northway and would be attractive for shows and gaming.”

Morrow said he would want to the see a facility that had the ability to bring entertainment and lodging to the area as well as gaming. Ò If it were just about the gambling, I would probably never go

to Turning Stone,” he said. “The draw is to get the shows there as well. I go to Verona to see Alan Jackson, Clint Black and Travis Tritt. If you have the shows and places to stay and amenities so you can go to a show, get something to eat after and have a place to stay, it’s something I think should be looked at.”

Essex County Chairman and Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas said that the county can already look forward to an additional $450,000 in revenue if the statewide proposition to allow gambling in New York state passes.

The proposition reads as follows: Ò The proposed amendment to section 9 of article 1 of the Constitution would allow the Legislature to authorize up to seven casinos in New York state for the legislated purposes of promoting job growth, increasing aid to schools, and permitting local governments to lower property taxes through revenues generated. Shall the amendment be approved?”

The proposition will be part of the ballot for the Nov. 5 general election.

Hiker to conclude 4,600 mile trek in Crown Point CROWN POINT — Local hikers will have an opportunity to take part in a historic event.

If all goes well, on Columbus Day, Monday Oct. 14, Luke “Strider” Jordan will become the 12th hiker to walk the entire North Country National Scenic Trail, which goes from Lake Sakakawea State Park, North Dakota, to the Champlain Bridge at Crown Point. Ò When he completes this remarkable accomplishment, he will be the youngest person, at age 23, to complete the hike,” said Chris Maron of Champlain Area Trails. Ò And then he is going a little further to become the first person to continue walking on the proposed Vermont extension that connects to the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail.”

Champlain Area Trails, will honor his accomplishment and the idea of trails linking communities by hiking with Jordan across the Champlain Bridge in Crown Point.

Interested hikers are asked to contact Champlain Area Trails at

962-2287 or info@champlainareatrails.com.

Jordan started out March 27 in snow at the western end of the trail in North Dakota and then continued hiking every day through Minnesota, his home state, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and, finally, New York. Ò He spent a year and a half planning his trip pouring over maps, talking to other end-to-enders, and staging his weekly mail drops of provisions,” Maron said. “He has not been ill one day or pulled a muscle or experienced any injuries. Luke carries his tent and sleeping bag for most nights in the woods but treats himself to a motel if available every few weeks. He hikes 20-30 miles per day.”

Jordan is detailing his trek online at www.striderNCT.com “For many people hiking 4,600 miles may seem like a crazy, even foolish idea,” Jordan said. “But for others it is an opportunity to see isolated places, to discover oneself, and of course to have fun doing it. Such is the case with me.”

If all goes well, on Columbus Day, Monday Oct. 14, Luke “Strider” Jordan will become the 12th hiker to walk the entire North Country National Scenic Trail, which goes from Lake Sakakawea State Park, North Dakota, to the Champlain Bridge at Crown Point.

Crown Point speed limit reduced from 40 mph to 30 mph Political leaders involved in decision

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Motorists traveling through Crown Point had better slow down.

The state Department of Transportation has reduced the speed limit on Route 9N/22 through the hamlet of Crown Point from 40 mph to 30 mph.

The action came after a lengthy battle waged by Dave Carr, who lives on the highway.

“It was a dangerous situation,” Carr said. “There were trucks driving through Crown Point doing 45-50 mph. There had been a lot of minor accidents and it was just a matter of time until something terrible happened.”

Carr was especially concerned about a blind curve near Sacred Heart Catholic Church, the area in front of Crown Point Central School, the intersection of Route 9N/22 with Sugar Hill and Creek roads and a blind hill near the intersection of Route 9N/22 and Lake Road.

While the speed limit was 40 mph through the hamlet, it was 30 mph in front of the school when school was in session.

“People were afraid to cross the street from the parking lot to the church and children had to cross the street to get to religious education classes,” Carr said of the area near Sacred Heart. Ò There are a lot of children crossing the street in front of the school, too. It was very dangerous.”

Carr took his concerns to the Crown Point town board, which contacted the state DOT. When no action was taken, Carr gathered signatures on petitions seeking a speed limit reduction.

When those failed to garner DOT support, Carr reached out to Assemblywoman Betty Little, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and U.S. Rep. Bill Owens. Each leader then contacted the DOT and action followed.

The speed limit through Crown Point hamlet was reduced in

September. Ò The New York State Department of Transportation conducted an investigation on Route 9N and Route 22 based on Mr. CarrÕ s concerns,” said John McDonald, DOT commissioner. “To be consistent with our speed limit postings through municipalities with similar highway and roadside development characteristics, NYSDOT staff has determined that reducing the 40 mph speed limit to 30 mph and reducing the school speed limit to 20 mph are justified.”

Carr praised the efforts of Little, Cuomo and Owens.

“They’re the people who made this happen,” Carr said. “I want to thank them.”

Cuomo thanked Carr. Ò Thank you for your recent correspondence and for bringing your concerns to my attention,” the governor wrote to Carr. “To build a stronger, competent government in New York, we need

the participation of citizens like you to spotlight problems and areas in need of improvement. Your input is invaluable to our mission to create a government that works for its people, and I appreciate you taking the time to write to me.”

While Carr has been successful in reducing the Crown Point speed limit, DOT officials warn speeding traffic may still be a problem. Ò National studies and our own experience have proven that simply reducing the speed limit will not reduce the operating speeds of most motorists traveling through a particular corridor,” McDonald said. “We also recommend that the town of Crown Point work closely with the state police and Essex County sheriff to implement an enforcement strategy targeting those motorists who may be in violation of the speed limits within the hamlet.”

Chasing square tails

I

spent last weekend chasing tails, square tails to be exact. With the end of trout season looming on the near horizon, I wanted to take a few slab sided brookies home to put on the smoker.

As luck would have it, an old friend agreed to join in the fun, and we set off early in the morning darkness.

We had kicked off this yearÕ s trout season on the very same pond, and it treated us quite well. We probably wouldÕ ve landed quite a few more fish, if a certain member of the party of two had remembered to bring a net.

There would be no such equipment errors this time around.

Net? check. Sinking fly lines and freshly tied custom flies? Check.

Other flies, lies, lures and a few believable excuses just in case?

Check!

We began the long walk in the morningÕ s darkness, as the cool air and a flowing stream of adrenaline combined to aid our pace.

We werenÕ t trying to run, but the urgency of our mission was palpable even though neither of us was willing to voice the thought.

WeÕ ve been on the trail together for over a quarter of a century, words werenÕ t necessary. We knew what to do.

The headlight beams illuminated the steam of our breathe, in the chill morning air, as we crunched along the leaf-padded track.

For John, this was to be his last hurrah chasing Adirondack brookies, and he approached it like a man on a mission.

His skill had been thoroughly tested earlier in the season, on the same pond we were now returning to.

I knew without even having to ask, what was on his mind. He had lost a true trophy back in May, and he was vengeful, but in a good way.

Despite the fact he regularly gets to play with big bruiser browns on the Delaware, where a day in the drift boat holds the promise of 10 or 12 trophy-sized fish a day; John has a true Adirondack addiction and he canÕ t seem to shake it.

Over the years we’ve fished together on ponds both large and

small. We’ve hiked to, biked over, paddled down, flown-in and rafted through some very interesting and productive waters.

Fortunately, we’ve also managed to catch some really nice fish.

Yet, despite the productiveness of them all, there remains just one pond in particular that has managed to cast a spell over us both.

WeÕ d been to the altar before, and we just had to return to show our respect.

When we last fished the pond, back in May of this year, I managed to land a fine, fat specimen of a speckle, with just my bare hand. Of course, I was responsible for forgetting the net.

Other anglers who witnessed our nonsense on the pond that day, were quick to offer a net when John later hooked up with another bruiser.

Three boatloads of spectators assembled to cheer him on, as the fish repeatedly stripped out his line in a series of deep dives and startling runs.

Finally, he managed to bring the big brookie to the side of the boat, and it appeared to be spent.

I urged him to bring it my way, so I could scoop it up; but he would have nothing to do with it.

“You landed yours, now let me do it myself,” he scolded.

“Get your hand under it,” I had coached him then, “And try to flop it in the boat.”

John did as he was told, and soon the big brookie was atop a pack in the middle of our canoe, and his line went limp.

He fumbled with the the rod, as he lurched toward the trout.

But it came to life, and with one powerful flap of its wide square tail, the trout launched into the air and into the water.

It was a slow-motion piscatorial performance. As I watched the speckled monster slowly return to the depths of the pondÕ s clear water, I knew John’s heart was sinking even deeper.

After having experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in less than five minutes of fishing, we decided to pack it in and pack ourselves out. We replayed the incident over and over during our return. There were plenty of I couldÕ veÕ s, and you shouldÕ veÕ s, but the big trout was back in the water, and we were on the way home.

I avoided any talk of the incident during our recent return.

We walked in quietly, and didnÕ t say much beyond the necessary “you grab that” or “I’ll handle this.”

The canoe slid silently into the water, and after we reached the end of the last carry, we were both equally silent. We went about the business of tying on flies and lures as the morning mist began to lift from the still waters.

No directions were necessary. We slid the canoe into the water and stepped off. If the fish were there, they’d be back in the bay, at the far end of the pond, which was still secured by the thick

morning fog.

We paddled strong but silently, and the canoe lurched forward with each stroke. In no time, we were there, drifting into the strike zone, waiting and wondering.

“Do you think we’re too late?” I mumbled under my breath.

But before he could even respond, the answer came loud an clear.

There was a splash in the distance, and just as the sun began to peak though the trees, there came another.

Soon, there were more, muted somewhat by the sound of a fly line rifling through the still air.

Then it came, the sweet steady zzzzzz-zzzziitt of fly line pealing off the reel.

The seriousness of our business was over in an instant, as a big brookie was brought alongside the canoe and gently slipped into the net.

Quiet returned to the scene momentarily, and then the slaps continued. We were surrounded and we cast to all points of the compass.

Three, four, five fish came to the canoe in rapid succession, and the sun wasnÕ t yet over the tree line.

Amid much laughter, and the usual good hearted ribbing, John managed to land both the largest and the most trout of the day.

There was no longer any pressure to achieve, it was like a scene from a summer past, that continued to stoke dreams that such days will always last.

Twenty seven years have passed since John and I first set off on the Boquet River with a similar mission in mind.

We did it then and weÕ ve done it again. Now that itÕ s over, thereÕ s only one thing left to do, and thatÕ s to get ready for next year. Here we go again!

Section 11. There are no bond anticipation notes outstanding which have been previously issued in anticipation of the sale of the Bonds authorized herein.

Section 12. Subject to the provisions of the Local Finance Law, the power to issue and sell the Bonds and/or Notes, including all powers and duties pertaining or incidental thereto, is hereby delegated to the Supervisor of the Town, except as herein provided.

The Bonds and/or Notes shall be of such terms, form and content, and shall be sold in such manner, whether by public or private sale, as may be determined by the Supervisor, pursuant to Local Finance Law, this resolution and any further resolution which the Board may hereafter adopt.

The Supervisor is authorized to execute and deliver any documents and to take such other action as may be necessary and proper to carry out the intent of the provisions of this resolution, including any agreement, contract or specific authorization required to secure any Federal or State issued grant(s) or loan(s).

Section 17. The Town is a town wholly or partially within the Adirondack Park.

However, state lands subject to taxation within the Town’s boundaries are assessed at less than thirty percent (30%) of the total taxable assessed valuation of the Town, therefore the permission of the State Comptroller to issue bonds and/or notes is not required under Local Finance Law section 104.10(3).

By Resolution No. 329 of 2013, the Town issued a negative declaration and declared that the Project will not have any significant adverse impact upon the environment.
