Ti coalition slates meeting

Ticonderoga High School has named its students of the month for September. Cited were freshman Collin Bresett, sophomore Shelby Turner, junior Konner Bruce and senior Eric Nielsen. Principal Paul Berkheimer presented the students with certificates.

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Community Coalition will meet Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 6 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room of the Community Building. Ò An initiative conceived

by Supervisor Deb Malaney has taken root and a coalition has been formed in our community with the purpose of combating drugs in our communities,Ó said Lin Leavens, a coalition member. Ò Part of this coalition is now identified as the Neighborhood Action Campaign which has

been tasked with establishing focused actions that will directly improve our communities and empower our citizens to act as one and work together to address the problem of drugs in our communities. The coalition is a varied group of community members and county professionals who are committed to effect change. The entire community is welcome to participate.Ó Leavens said the coalition is making progress. Ò From the onset of this coalitionÕ s first meeting, the common threads that bind the members are certain to be shared by our community at large such as a renewed sense of pride and connec-

tion in Ticonderoga, improving the quality of life in our communities, safety for all, health and wellness, to name a few,Ó she said. Ò Why we are doing this, is because this matters. Ò What the coalition hopes to accomplish is a safer, healthy, cohesive community,Ó Leavens said. Ò We believe that given the right tools, right partnerships, communication and cooperation of everyone in our communities, we can rebuild Ticonderoga and reclaim our town. We welcome your support, input and participation. It really does take a whole community to raise our children, letÕ s be whole again.Ó

Tiny Tim applications available Deadline Nov. 10

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The Tiny Tim Christmas Wish Program is now taking applications for its 2013 holiday gift distribution.

The program, now in its 33rd year, provides Christmas gifts to needy children living in the area. Any family receiving free or reduce price lunches at school is eligible, if they have children attending the Ticonderoga Central School District or St. MaryÕ s School.

Applications are now available in the lobby of the Ticonderoga Community Building on Montcalm Street. The deadline for applications is Nov. 10.

For information, call Nancy Quesnel at

585-7017.

Quesnel stressed the program is entirely confidential. After applications are verified, names are removed and families are assigned numbers, she said. People who purchase gifts buy for a specific number, not knowing who the child is.

It costs more than $6,000 a year to operate the Tiny Tim program. Quesnel said donations of cash and new toys are now being sought for the program. Checks can be made payable to Tiny Tim Christmas Program. Donations can be sent to Quesnel at 151 Shore Airport Road, Ticonderoga, NY 12883.

The Tiny Tim program started in 1980 when a group of Ticonderoga Central School teachers realized the need. The program grew to the point the teachers could no longer handle the demand.

There have been a lot of changes dur-

ing the years.

Tiny Tim no longer accepts or distributes used items and gifts are no longer wrapped.

And, Tiny Tim has grown. It started out giving away winter coats. Now each child gets six pair of socks, six sets of underwear, a jacket, ski pants, boots, clothing and toys.

Tiny Tim will not purchase any electronics such as iPods, cell phones, computers or game systems.

Tiny Tim now serves about 75 families and nearly 200 children each holiday season.

Ticonderoga Red Hats perform, solve mystery, remain active

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Whodunit?

ThatÕ s what the Ladies Between the Lakes of the Red Hat Society had to figure out recently as they presented their annual mystery. Ò We began our mysteries to enhance our fun experience and they provide a bit of suspense along with entertainment,Ó said Dawn House of the ladies group. Ò This yearÕ s mystery, Ô Gone With The Breeze,Õ was to discover who stole the mortgage money for the great plantation Kara and stole the heart of Bret Rutler. Among the characters were Maggie Nolya, Dixie Mason and Sherry Blossom. Ò This is our 10th mystery,Ó she said. Ò If we keep going, we may be on our way to Hollywood!Ó The production, performed at Some Where In Time mansion in Diamond Point, featured Ann Westervelt, Liz Nolfe, Susan Rathbun, Juanita Napper, Alta LaPine, Diane LaCourse, Carol Barnwell and House.

The production was just the latest event for the Ticonderogabased Red Hat Society. Since it formed in 2002, the group has held monthly gatherings.

“Our official name is Ladies Between the Lakes of the Red Hat Society,Ó House said. Ò We started out with eight members and grew to almost 100 over the years. We are now at 58 members. Ò The main purpose of the Red Hat Society is to have fun and build friendships for women over the age of 50,Ó she said. Ò We meet once a month for lunch and have gone to many restaurants, almost never repeating the same restaurant. These lunches are combined with an interesting venue, such as the Saratoga races, dinner theaters, the cruises on Lakes George, the Garnet Mines, casino, Soap Factory, Morgan Horse Farm, various museums and a hilarious fashion show. For our outing in October we are going to the Chilson Brook Alpaca Farm. Ò Through membership in this group, many friendships have

The Red Hat Society has become the international society dedicated to reshaping the way women approaching 50 and beyond are viewed in todayÕ s culture. Ò RHS supports and encourages women to pursue fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment of lifelong dreams and fitness,” she said.

Ti water project on schedule, facing 2016 state deadline

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga is in a position to meet a state mandate requiring work be completed on the town water system, according to Supervisor Deb Malaney.

New York State has ordered upgrades and/or new water sources be in place by 2016. Ò The town of Ticonderoga is looking for an additional water source to meet the townÕ s growing needs and increasing New York State regulations,Ó Malaney said. Ò The town currently obtains its drinking water from Gooseneck Pond and Lake George.

Both sources are needed to meet the needs of the community. The infrastructure for these sources is no longer in compliance with new state and federal requirements, and the state Department of Health is requiring the town to either upgrade these facilities or look for a new source of water.Ó Failure to meet the 2016 deadline could result in fines of up to $37,000 a day for the town.

In 2009 the state Department of Health ordered Ti to replace or cover the Gooseneck reservoir, which was created in 1931. The town developed a plan to replace the reservoir with tanks, but an inspection discovered problems with the Gooseneck dam and with transmission lines.

Gooseneck was designed to serve the entire town, but over time demand exceeded GooseneckÕ s capacity. In 1965 a Lake George water supply was developed for emergency use. Eventually, Lake George water became necessary to meet daily demand.

During an inspection the state also found problems at the Baldwin Road filtration plant that handles Lake George water.

At the urging of state officials, Ticonderoga then began considering an upgrade of the entire water system, utilizing groundwater sources. Ò The total cost to bring the Gooseneck system back into compliance as the primary source is estimated to be $32 million, along with much needed repairs to the Lake George system,Ó Malaney said.

The plan to use groundwater proved unpopular with residents in the Chilson area, though. They want to retain water from Gooseneck Pond. Others want to use water from Lake George. Ò Town residents have clearly said they want to keep Goose-

neck and Lake George as sources,Ó Malaney said. Ò As a result, the proposed project includes elements that will allow the town to maintain its existing sources as well as incorporate the new source (groundwater) into the distribution system. This addition of groundwater will enable the town to control costs and give the town the ability to meet future water demands for the townÕ s water system.Ó The cost of the combined Gooseneck-Lake Georgegroundwater project is estimated to be $13.8 million.

Proposed land swaps make sense

By Teresa Sayward

Retired NYS Assemblywoman

I

write this to encourage everyone to VOTE YES on two very important Constitutional Amendments. The proposed Amendments will appear on the back of the ballot on Election Day as Proposition 4 and Proposition 5.

Proposition 4:

State Agencies, Senator Little, Adirondack Council, Adirondack Mountain Club, Residents Committee to Protect the Adirondacks and the Chair of Hamilton CountyÕ s Board of Supervisors and I worked together to resolve this longstanding title dispute issue in Hamilton County.

Over the years both NY State and the people engaged in lawsuits attempting to resolve titles with mixed results. This process is costly and time consuming. The land in question has been occupied for over 100 years. The Fire Company, school properties and private businesses have contested titles.

Clearly, the land is neither forest preserve nor is it private property. The Legislature concluded that it is equitable and appropriate for the state to relinquish their claim and in exchange the people will make payment to the state and the state will purchase and incorporate hundreds of acres of pristine land into the forest preserve.

The Legislature found that the title disputes constitute a unique situation found nowhere else in New York State. This dispute dates back to the 1800Õ s and is supported by

both Environmental Groups and State Agencies.

Proposition 5:

State Agencies, Adirondack Environmental Groups, NYCO, Senator Little and I worked collectively to resolve this important economic issue.

NYCOÕ s mineral at Oak Hill will be exhausted soon. NYCO operates in the TownÕ s of Willsboro and Lewis, providing employees with good wages, medical and retirement benefits. Employees are volunteer fire fighters, EMTÕ s, soccer coaches, and their children attend our school. NYCO provides critical tax revenue to local governments and school districts, reducing the tax burden of taxpayers. NYCO does business with businesses from Plattsburgh to Albany. NYCO supports not-for-profit organizations and our local communities.

Adirondack Communities depend on tourism. ThatÕ s good, but if you donÕ t own the business you make minimum wage. NYCO provides over 100 jobs countywide.

The State will allow NYCO to take 200 acres for mining purposes. In return for the temporary use of this land, NYCO will give the State Forest Preserve 1,500 acres. Everyone will benefit from the addition of this new Forest Preserve land. The Amendment is in keeping with the original intent of the Adirondack Park Act which is to balance environmental protection with economic need.

Both State Agencies and the two major Adirondack Environmental Groups support this Amendment.

QUICK VIEW STATEWIDE PROPOSITIONS •Proposition 1: Authorizing Casino Gaming •Proposition 2: Additional Civil Service Credit for Veterans with Disabilities Certified Post-Appointment •Proposition 3: Exclusion of Indebtedness Contracted for Sewage Facilities •Proposition 4: Settling Disputed Title in the Forest Preserve •Proposition 5: In Relation to a Land Exchange in the State Forest Preserve with NYCO Minerals, Inc. •Proposition 6: Increasing Age until which Certain State Judges Can Serve

Help Port Henry

Car show a success Respect signage

Could someone please help Port Henry! Because it canÕ t seem to help itself. What a tragedy our attempt at dissolution didnÕ t pass the first time. Did you know we are the last of villages left in Essex County?

Other towns and villages combined years ago. Why are we the last to have vision? To unify ourselves to become stronger, more efficient and less wasteful? One government, moving forward with combined services.

All I can figure is no one speaks. I hear nothing, but the voices of the fearful. Are we muted in fear?

Port Henry.... can you hear me? Are you there?

The Moriah Car and Truck Show was held Oct. 5 and was a great success with 86 cars attending. There was a 50/50 raffle, Chinese auction and food sale.

The proceeds go to the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center in Plattsburgh.

With the Fall comes elections and with elections, come roadside signs. Unfortunately with roadside signs also come vandalism, theft and moving signs from their original locations to locations that the perpetrators feel are humorous.

While the culprits feel that this is supportive of their candidate, it actually casts a negative cloud on them as the public sees the untouched signs of a candidate as he or she being complicit in the theft or damage.

While this may not be the case, it certainly gives that appearance.

In some cases, the theft or damage to campaign signs can become a criminal offense and makes the perpetrator subject to arrest and prosecution.

By all means, support your candidate. Talk up your candidate, work for them handing out fliers, going door to door, helping with mailings or whatever you need to do for support in helping your choice to be elected.

But, the taking or damage to signs under cover of darkness does more harm than good and is not what the election process is all about.

We have a system where anyone can put themselves up for public office and they all deserve a fair chance, not subject to sabotage in the dead of night.

Please honor our system and leave the signs as they are placed.

Non-biased news coverage

To the Times of Ti:

To the Times of Ti:

John Sharkey of Ticonderoga never ceases to amaze me with his take on political issues. His latest attempt was to call attention to news media he feels are pawns to those he calls liberalprogressives! In his recent letter Mr. Sharkey names almost every legitimate news source in the country and states that they are in Ò lock-stepÓ with these liberal-progressives.

He points out that Fox News, in his view, is number one and that the Tea Party is educating the American public.

Mr. Sharkey is right about the Tea Party educating the public and we the public will remember how they were responsible for tens of thousands of workers losing paychecks during the Republican shutdown! There is also the matter of a loss of $24 billion due to the Tea Party led shutdown and the drain it put on our economy.

As for Fox News it is a soap opera of epic proportions to say the least. Fox consists of a group of con men and women who show their ignorance by delivering more lies than Pinocchio. The truth to them is something for liberal-progressives and not their audience!

It is no wonder Mr. Sharkey would champion them as he has also mastered the art of misdirection over the years as shown in his recent letter. He and Sarah Palin come from the same cloth when it comes to attacking legitimate news sources. Citing Breitbart news as a legitimate news source is like saying Pravda is pro-American. The biased news sources Mr. Sharkey follows are a branch of the Republican Party and lack honesty.

Mr. Sharkey ends his letter by saying his news sources get nothing for their efforts excepting veiled threats and investigations! Like everything else in his ramblings he offers no proof of these remarks, as they are just more of the same rhetoric!

I did notice however that he didnÕ t mention the Times of Ti, which I feel, gives a fair view of both major political parties without taking sides!

Internet site highlights Lake George area lodging, events Hotelier creates comprehensive guide

By Fred Herbst

It’s, perhaps, the most comprehensive internet site serving the region with information, links and ads for lodging, dining, attractions, activities, shopping, events and more. name, Risman said. Ò A domain name should be simple, relevant and credible,Ó he said. Ò The internet is like a highway.

To get from Point A to Point B you need an automobile. On the internet the automobile is your domain name. Ò I researched the internet and found most of the web searches related to Lake George hotels, so I purchased the domain name www.LakeGeorgeHotels.com,Ó he said. Ò The site is much more than just a listing of hotels, but that domain name attracts people who then can learn all about the region.Ó Risman is always thinking about internet opportunities and has purchased 125 domain names, including www.WorldsLargestGarageSale.com and www.LakeGeorgeFishing.com Ò In the past 30 days IÕ ve built several websites,Ó he said. Ò I build them and see if there is interest. If not, I take them down.Ó The website business is not expensive, Risman said. Ò It costs $8-12 to purchase a domain name,Ó he said. Ò For $100-$150 you can build a site. For well under $200 you can have your own website.Ó Work doesnÕ t end with the creation of a website, though. Risman said sites must have material that is constantly updated and relevant. Webmasters need to also study traffic to their sites and make

LAKE GEORGE Ñ Bob Risman was looking for a better way to promote his business when he came to a realization. Ò I realized I had lost control of my marketing,Ó the owner of Golden Sands Resort in Diamond Point said. Ò I was relying on websites for my marketing and had no control over the content, ad position or cost. Ò As everything went more and more to digital, I was confused,Ó he said. Ò I didnÕ t know where to best use my money for advertising.Ó Risman decided to learn more. He had no background in computers, website design or advertising, but the businessman with an art background purchased a beginner web program and started to investigate the mysteries of the internet.

That was three years ago. Today he owns www.

LakeGeorgeHotels.com. ItÕ s, perhaps, the most comprehensive internet site serving the region with information, links and ads for lodging, dining, attractions, activities, shopping, events and more.

The site attracts Ò hundredsÓ of visits a day, Risman said, more in the summer tourism months. Ò There were very limited travel and tourism websites in Lake George,Ó Risman said. Ò I thought there was room for a website like this.Ó www.LakeGeorgeHotels.com now has 103 pages of information and thousands of elements.

It is constantly being updated and expanded. Risman recently added sections on Ticonderoga and Hague. It also includes sections on Warrensburg, Bolton and Saratoga. Ò IÕ m constantly looking for things that are interesting and relevant,Ó he said. Ò When I take a drive to Ticonderoga and see something, I make a note that I want to add it to the site. IÕ m always adding things.Ó He also welcomes input from others. People who would like to see a business, attraction or anything else added to the site can contact Risman at Info@LakeGeorgeHotels.com or 668-2203.

The key is a successful website is its domain

and county tourism websites to promote their efforts. Risman is critical of those sites, which he believes are often unfriendly for users and often have out-dated material.

There are also professional tourism websites, he said, but those can be costly. Ò An effective ad in our region can cost $1020,000,Ó Risman said. Ò An entry level ad can be $3-4,000. I donÕ t have that kind of money. I knew there had to be a better way.Ó While the internet is a valuable tool for area businesses, Risman admits it doesnÕ t solve every problem. Ò Is it the be-all, end-all?Ó he asked. Ò No. ItÕ s a piece of the puzzle. It can be a very effective tool, though.Ó Some businesses worry about competing websites, Risman said, but they shouldnÕ t. He would like to see more local sites sharing links and other information, sending traffic to other Lake George region sites. Ò ItÕ s something anyone can do,Ó Risman said of website construction. Ò Grassroots websites can be very successful. They put marketing back in the hands of business owners and can be a boost for the entire region. Ò I believe all ships rise in a rising sea,Ó he said. Ò Why shouldnÕ t we (business owners) support each other?Ó

PORT HENRY Ñ A garden and park will be constructed in Port Henry for families who have lost a child.

Luci and Tom Carpenter of Moriah, whose son Brian died in a car accident in 2005, are leading the effort to create a Lake Champlain Memorial Garden & Angel of Hope Monument. It will be located at the Moriah town hall, Park Place, Port Henry. Ò For the past three years, we have been searching for just the right spot to dedicate to the Memorial Garden and Angel of Hope Monument,Ó Luci Carpenter said. Ò Through the generous donations of family, friends and community to the Brian T. Carpenter Memorial Fund, Tom Scozzafava and the Moriah town board, this project has now becoming a real-

ity.Ó The Angel of Hope Monument is a replica of the angel monument inspired by the book Ò The Christmas Box.Ó The book, written by Richard Paul Evens, is the story of a motherÕ s grief and eventual solace over the loss of her child. Ò The Lake Champlain Memorial Garden & Angel of Hope Monument is being created to become a peaceful place for grieving parents, families and friends of children who have died Ñ before or after birth, young or old; to mourn, heal and remember their loved one,Ó Carpenter said. Ò This is for everybody.

The angel and garden represent hope, peace and sanctuary for all who have lost a loved one, child to adult. After all, we are all someoneÕ s child. Ò The garden will be a place of healing, solace and quiet reflection for families, friends and community,Ó she said.

PORT HENRY Ñ The town of Moriah and village of Port Henry are seeking a grant to review each municipalityÕ s campsite.

If awarded, the grant will be used to hire a consultant to study the town-owned Bulwagga Bay campsite and the village-owned Port Henry campground, then make recommendations on their operations. Ò The town of Moriah and village of Port Henry have more public property on Lake Champlain than any other community on the lake,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò ThatÕ s a tremendous asset.Ó Bulwagga Bay has 175 campsites. This past summer it generated $290,000 in revenue. The books are still open on the 2013 campsite season, but Scozzafava expects the town will make about $160,000 in profit.

That money will be placed in the town general fund and be used to offset local taxes. Ò It was full all summer,Ó Scozzafava said of the campsite. Ò Most of the campers are seasonal. They like to park an RV in one place and stay there.Ó The Port Henry village campground has 92 sites, according to Deputy Mayor Matt Brassard. The campground averages approximately $50,000 profit annually. The books are not yet closed on the 2013 season.

Like Moriah, Port Henry uses campground money in its general fund to offset local taxes.

Scozzafava believes the local campgrounds could be much more profitable, but are limited because theyÕ re operated by local governments. Ò We put money back into the place (Bulwagga Bay), but not even close to what it needs,” he said. “Because of financial constraints on local governments the campsite will never reach its full potential.Ó Moriah has discussed leasing Bulwagga Bay to a private company, going as far as seeking proposals. That effort fell short when residents expressed opposition. Ò Because itÕ s public property you canÕ t just lease it,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò Anything we do is subject to permissive referendum. It belongs to the people of Moriah.Ó With additional amenities, Scozzafava believes the Bulwagga Bay campsite could thrive.

“That could be, with the right investment, a five-star RV park,” he said. Ò ItÕ s right on Lake Champlain. There arenÕ t many of those.Ó The Bulwagga Bay campsite presents a Catch-22 problem for Moriah, the supervisor said. Ò We rely on it to generate money used to keep taxes down,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò Because we want to keep taxes down, we donÕ t have the money to invest in the campsite. We need that money every year for our budget.Ó

Community center opens in Schroon Lake; Halloween party Oct. 26

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ Schroon Lake has a new community center.

The facility has opened in Joanies Goodies, a restaurant located at 1061 Route 9. Ò We have a portion of our building we havenÕ t been using,Ó explained Joanie Cun-

ningham, owner of Joanies Goodies. Ò The community needs a community center, a place were kids can go and adults can meet.Ó The inaugural event at the new community center will be a free Halloween party Saturday, Oct. 26, 4 to 9 p.m. It will feature a haunted house, games, pumpkin decorating, bobbing for apples and more.

Cunningham said the com-

munity center will be open daily for adults and after school until 9 p.m. for children. Ò Basically, weÕ re open all the time,Ó Cunningham said.

Thanks to donations from Curtis Lumber and Rebecca and Jeroud Doyle of Schroon Lake Pharmacy, the center has games available for children.

A fooseball table has been ordered, but not yet been deliv-

ered.

People wishing to reserve the community center for use can call Cunningham at 5329900. Use of the space is free.

Gateway, a group for young fathers, meets at the community center Tuesdays at 5:30 and 6:30 a.m. A group of people interested in improving the area also meets in the space Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Department of Health and a professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Albany, will speak at Schroon Lake Central School as part of the schoolÕ s National Honor Society lecture series.

The talk will be Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 6:30 p.m. in the school auditorium.

Ò Affectionately known as the Ô Brain Man,Õ for the past 38 years Mr. Seegal has studied the effect of contaminants on the function of the brain, including ParkinsonÕ s disease and autism,Ó said Caleb Maisonville of the Schroon Lake honor society. Ò Mr. Seegal compares

knowledge of the brain to understanding a car ownerÕ s manual,Ó he said. Ò When one follows the recommendations and the guidelines for what to put in the car it will run smoothly and effectively.

This is quite the same with the brain, yet with even higher stakes.Ó

‘Brain Man’ to lecture in Schroon for National Honor Society event

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com Jennie Bensen, a 1997 Mountainside Christian Academy graduate and former teacher at the school, is now its principal.

MCA Continued from page 1 She taught English in China for a year before coming back to Mountainside to teach English and math at her alma mater for five years. She them moved to Chicago, where she worked as an editor four years and at a non-profit organization another year before Mountainside called.

Now Bensen is leading a staff of eight teachers. Ò I have a great team here,Ó the principal said. Ò We work together as a unit with the single goal of doing our best for our students. Ò IÕ m very thankful to be here,Ó she said. Ò Mountainside has been a very good school through the years and today itÕ s still a great school.Ó Mountainside opened in 1977. Ò I think we have a very strong academic program, our curriculum and teachers are well-prepared and we have a disciplined academic environment,Ó Bensen said. Ò All our teachers love the lord and integrate Biblical truth into the classroom. Our students are welcoming. We have a good community here.Ó The school has a strong commitment to Christianity. Ò We integrate GodÕ s word into each academic subject and teach our classes from a Biblical worldview,Ó Bensen said.

“This, together with influential teachers who are building into the studentsÕ lives spiritually, make the school culture one that is unique and distinctly Christian.Ó Each year Mountainside selects a theme. This academic year itÕ s HANDS Ñ help a

neighbor do something. Ò WeÕ re forming ideas how to serve and be a help in the community, in each family and in our church,Ó Bensen said. Ò We hope students learn to look for opportunities to help others and help whenever possible.Ó Enrollment at Mountainside has grown the past two academic years, reaching 61 students. Ò WeÕ re pleased to have 61 students, although our goal is 75,Ó Bensen said. Ò Enrollment is our biggest challenge.Ó With enrollment dropping at all schools Ñ public and private Ñ in the region, how can Mountainside attract new students?

“Well, there’s a lot of prayer; we pray a lot,Ó Bensen said. Ò WeÕ re also trying to tap into some of the circles in the community more prone to Christian education. Ò WeÕ re also trying to open our school to home-school students,Ó she said. Ò We have home-school students taking classes and participating in special events, like sports, at Mountainside. We have some home-school students on our soccer teams and will have some on our basketball teams.Ó Mountainside Christian Academy has been successful in fund raising, Bensen said, and is fiscally sound. In fact, this year the school added a new teaching position, she pointed out.

While Bensen is the school administrator, sheÕ s also a teacher. She teaches three classes a day Ñ English, math and vocabulary, spelling and speech. Ò I stay busy,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s a full day.Ó

Moriah lights up scoreboard; Ti falls to non-league foe

Cole Gaddor had a huge game for Moriah as it dropped a 49-42 decision to Peru Oct. 19. Gaddor threw for 180 yards and two touchdowns, returned a punt for a score and grabbed an interception in defense.

Peru 49, Moriah 42 What has happened to the Moriah football team?

Known for decades as a defensive, groundpounding, clock-chewing bunch, the Vikings are suddenly an offensive juggernaut. Moriah has scored at least 42 points in each of its last three games.

That outburst wasnÕ t enough, though, as Moriah lost to Peru, 49-42, in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference action Oct. 19.

The Vikings jumped to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter as Troy Welch rushed into the end zone from a yard out and quarterback Cole Gaddor hit Tyler Pratt with a 67-yard scoring strike.

After Peru rallied for a 14-13 advantage, Moriah struck again. Gaddor returned a punt

30 yards for a TD and he then connected with Rainier Garnica on a 11-yard scoring pass as the Vikings held a 28-14 lead at the half.

Peru returned the second half kick off for a TD, but all seemed good for the locals when the Vikings responded with a yard TD run by C.J. Raymond for a 35-20 lead.

Two big scoring plays Ñ a 42-yard run and 56-yard pass Ñ helped Peru forge a deadlock in the third period.

Moriah regained the lead in the final stanza on a 16-yard run by Welch, but Peru tallied twice in the closing minutes to pull out the victory.

Welch ran for 105 yards and Gaddor threw for 180 yards to pace the Vikings. Gaddor threw two TD passes, returned a punt for a score and grabbed an interception in defense.

Fonda-Fultonville 18, Ticonderoga 14 Ticonderoga came up a yard short as it lost to Fonda-Fultonville in non-league football play Oct. 18.

Trailing 18-14 in the final quarter, Ti seemed poised for victory with a first-and-goal. FondaFultonvilleÕ s defense answered the challenge, though, stopping the Sentinels Ñ including two runs from a yard away.

Ticonderoga jumped to a 7-0 lead in the opening period on a 6-yard TD run by Cameron

Wright. Ty Denno booted the PAT. After Fonda-Fultonville made it a 7-6 game, quarterback Michael Graney hit Denno with a 41-yard pass for a touchdown. DennoÕ s kick gave the Sentinels a 14-6 edge.

Fonda-Fultonville then turned to 6-foot-7 receiver Will Turner, who proved to be a tough match up for Ti. Turner hauled in a 27-yard TD pass just before halftime to make it a 14-12 contest. Turner then caught a 12-yard TD pass that proved to be the game winner in the third period.

Wright led the Ticonderoga attack, running for 113 yards. Graney threw for 103 yards.

Scattered shots Rocky Mountain high

GRIZ! I

Photo by Rich Redman

pulled in the driveway in Moriah this past Saturday evening after nearly three weeks on the road. Four of us did a stint in Colorado, where we were involved with an elk hunt and a trout-fishing journey.

We embraced the beauty in the high plains of the Rocky Mountain range country. Elk and mule deer were spotted browsing and grazing on the brush and grasses, while brook and rainbow trout swam in the Forks of the South Platte River. Sharp peaked 14,000By Rich Redman foot mountains and air as thin as the sheen of ice on the beaver ponds greeted us on the 10-degree mornings. ItÕ s good to be back where the air is as thick as porridge and breathing is easy! I love the west, but the green Adirondacks welcomed me home.

One of my traveling compadres has traveled the world hunting for elk, bear, mountain lion and Cape buffalo. He told me his story, but I canÕ t share it all. As the reader, you need to drift off in the story the way I did. You need to read it firsthand to appreciate the adventure, the beauty of the story and the beast involved.

Fran — whose radio handle is “fleabag” — had an adventure in Montana that most hunters would not survive. He was attacked by a grizzly bear.

Fran GeorgeÕ s book is called, Ò Intruding on a Killer.Ó The story takes you to Montana, bow hunting for elk in the high country, back packing in gear, and a tale about wranglers and cowboys helping fellow hunters get a wounded man out to safety. You will enjoy this tale of survival.

With deer and bear season under way, I thought a few good books about bears would be appropriate.

The second book is by another fellow hunter and friend, John Ò JackÓ Harris. The book, titled Ò Beyond my Wildest DreamsÓ is about JackÕ s life working with black bears while employed with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, as a guide in Alaska and his hunting exploits dealing with whitetails, brown bears, and African safaris, hunting kudu, impalas, and Cape buffalo. Wild safaris, guerilla warfare in Rhodesia and West German G-3 automatic weapons are all entangled in JackÕ s hunting stories.

Jack tells about fishing in Ecuador, Canada, scuba diving, sharks and even fishing on our own lake Ontario.

Both of these books are written by guys who have lived the dream and still do to this moment. They write about hunting and the taking of game, but more importantly they talk about family, the beauty of nature and life and death. Both men volunteer with community programs; the fire department and the Red Cross. Givers, not takers!

Many city people think hunters are takers and only think about killing. Hunting is as natural to mankind as watching a sun set or the full moon coming up over a grassy meadow where cattle graze. I got to live the natural life these past few weeks glassing the mountains while standing on South Peak; a 12,500-foot barren peak above the tree line. I was Rocky Mountain high.

Hunting season is upon us now, so go forth and enjoy the season, stay safe and when the winter winds blow hard and the woodstove is humming out a smoky song, sit back and enjoy these two books by friends of mine. You will enjoy their adventures.

Conservation

Conversations

Willow Hackett, a true wild child, shows off a nice fall, brookie.

I

recently discovered some sage advice scribbled on the log wall of a local lean-to. Written in a neat, charcoal script, it read, Ò Welcome to the Adirondacks: May neither drought nor rain nor blizzard disturb the joy juice in your gizzard!

And may you camp where the winds wonÕ t hit ya, and the bears wonÕ t gitcha.Ó The muzzleloader season for whitetails will be coming to an end this week, and the regular big game funting season will begin this Saturday, Oct. 26.

Following the warm weather weÕ ve experienced to date, most hunters would welcome a bit of tracking snow about now.

ThereÕ s been no need for longjohns or woolies as itÕ s still mighty brown in the woods, where the deer blend right in.

By the look of things, there may be some interesting times ahead for the next generation of hunting enthusiasts.

Recently, I was reviewing comments posted on a popular hunting website, and I was disappointed to see the NYSDEC was again getting bashed for the decision to host another youth deer weekend across the state.

The annual youth hunting weekend was scheduled for the long Columbus Day Holiday last week. By all reports, it was a major success.

According to the Youth Hunt regulations, 14- to 15-year-old junior hunters who are accompanied by a licensed, adult mentor are permitted to harvest one deer with a firearm, with or without antlers.

ItÕ s a real shame that some sportsmen again choose to oppose the opportunity for a Youth Hunt. Their complaints punctuate the greed of certain hunters who simply fail to understand the importance of mentoring the next generation.

Their efforts in opposition were both selfish and greedy, and their commentary provided a sad note to an otherwise positive effort that is intended to help grow the sport and introduce youth to the outdoors.

In this day and age, hunters simply canÕ t afford to be so parochial. There is too much territory available to the public for anyone to be so territorial. Whitetail deer are abundant all across the state, especially in the Southern Tier.

ThereÕ s no need for the greed.

Life skills

Last year, when the DEC first introduced the special Youth Deer Hunt weekend, it was considered a great marketing effort. In a business sense, DEC was building a new base of customers, and in the process, the department was protecting our natural resources in the best possible way.

Although statistics indicate it may be a bit late to begin initiating 14- or 15-year-olds to a new sport, it is better late then never. But it isn’t just a sport; it’s a life skill.

Numerous studies have revealed the ideal time to introduce youth to such lifelong recreational pursuits as skiing, fishing or hunting is somewhere between 4th and 5th grade, or ages 10 to 12.

Life skills educators recognize the propensity for pursuing life skills development begins to drop off significantly during their teenage years, when kids usually have other pursuits in mind. Been there, done that.

In many western states, including Colorado and

Montana, all of the local ski resorts provide free skiing for every 4th grader in the state. The purpose is to get the kids hooked on skiing early.

Research indicates that if they donÕ t learn to ski by the 4th grade, chances are theyÕ ll never become lifelong skiers. Research indicates the same strategy is even more vital when it comes to growing anglers, hunters, paddlers, bikers, hikers, etc., where mentorship is often the key.

Unlike team sports, which require officials, a playing field and a large number of participants, life skills are activities that can be pursued individually or with friends, in the local area, at little cost, for life. No time clocks, no refs, no uniforms and no whistles; just good clean fun.

Mentors needed

The lack of a formal introduction, and/or an accomplished mentor to provide one, is likely one of the main reasons for the declining interest in many outdoor pursuits.

It is usually much easier, and often more comfortable for kids to just play inside with video games or surf the web.

This is the indoor generation, tethered by an electric cord to run their electronic devices.

It takes quite a bit more effort to get them to go outside to hunt, ski, fish, paddle, hike or bike. It also helps if they have a mentor to help with these activities, initially.

Fortunately, the DEC has come to realize the need to increase the pool of the next generation of outdoor travelers, or they may soon be out of business.

Any hunter who would oppose such efforts has likely spent too much time swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool.

Rich Redman is a retired District Conservationist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and an avid outdoorsman. His column will appear regularly. He may be reached at rangeric@nycap.rr.com.

Valuable resources

It is a simple thread to follow. If our youth do not know how to effectively utilize their local natural resources, there will be no connection. Without a positive connection, there will be no perceived value, and thus no need for protection.

A resource, whether itÕ s natural or man-made, is only of value to those who use it, or admire it, or see a need to preserve it. Certainly there is an ecological, and an aesthetic value to the land, but there is also a utilitarian value.

If the trout were not valued, there would be no need to stock them. The local lakes and ponds could easily revert to fisheries with bass, sunnies, perch or similar species.

If trails were not cut, where would people go to hike or ski?

And what would become of the tourist sportsmen and women who regularly travel north to fish, swim or ski. And what of the hotels that lodge them, or the restaurants where they chose to dine?

And what would the Adirondacks look like without whitetail deer, a speckled trout or the lone paddler enjoying an even lonelier pond?

A lot like suburbia I reckon, except with more pines, less noise, plenty of blackflies, and far fewer neighbors!
