Ticonderoga, Putnam teachers go WILD in their classrooms TICONDEROGA Ñ Teachers from Ticonderoga, Whitehall, Putnam, Fort Ann, Queensbury, Lake George, and Bolton are now trained and equipped to teach Project WILD (Wildlife in Learning Design) in their classrooms thanks to a partnership of the Lake George Association and the Lake Champlain-Lake George Regional Planning Board and a grant from the Lake Champlain Basin Program.

Project WILD is a supplementary, interdisciplinary environmental education program that emphasizes wildlife. The Project WILD program is administered by the Council for Environmental Educators, but in New York, the program is coordinated through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and funded through Return a Gift to Wildlife donations. Ò Project WILD is a great curriculum that helps to foster responsible actions towards wildlife and related natural resources. It leads students from awareness to action by teaching how to think, not what to think, and allows students to evaluate choices, not disregard them,Ó said Kristen Rohne, the LGAÕ s education coordinator.

Project WILD facilitators from the LGA and LCLGRPB conducted the Project WILD workshop for teachers. Those who attended the free workshop learned about and received the Proj-

ect WILD Curriculum and Activity Guide and also received a “treasure chest” filled with all the materials needed to perform the learned activities in their classrooms. The activities focused on topics such as limiting factors that affect animal populations, predator and prey relationships, importance of animal adaptations, and biomagnification of pesticides in food chains. Ò The teachers enjoyed the hands-on learning of the workshop and had great conversations with one another on how to incorporate the Project WILD activities into their current lessons. They are excited to use their new materials and activities with their students,Ó said Beth Gilles, the LCLGRBPÕ s environmental planner.

The Lake George Association is a membersupported nonprofit organization. Founded in 1885, the Lake George Association is the nationÕ s oldest lake protection organization. For more information call 668-3558 or visit www. lakegeorgeassociation.org.

Holiday train to kick off Christmas season Thanksgiving stops planned in Ti, Port Henry

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will again visit the area, this time bringing holiday cheer on a holiday.

Decorated in holiday lights and carrying a live musical show, the train is scheduled to pass through the North Country on Thanksgiving, Nov. 28.

The train will arrive in Ticonderoga at 3:15 p.m. and stop in Port Henry at 5 p.m. Times are approximate.

This will be the eighth year the train will stop in Ticonderoga.

It has stopped in Port Henry the past seven years. It will stop at the train station in each community.

The goal of the Ò Holiday TrainÓ is to collect food and money for local food banks and to raise awareness in the fight against hunger. At each event, the train provides a box car stage, musical talent and a corporate contribution to the local food bank. The community, in turn, is encouraged to donate food and funds, all of which stays in the community. Ò Folks are asked to bring non perishable food items for the Ticonderoga Food Pantry, and cash donations can be made as well,Ó said Margaret H. Beuerlein, director of the Ti Food Pantry. Ò Due to the large increase in visitors to the local pantry this event is even more important this year.

“The Ticonderoga Food Pantry and Canadian Pacific are proud to announce the 2013 Holiday Train will be riding the rails to raise money and awareness of hunger issues in Ticonderoga and Putnam,Ó she said.

Now in its 13th year in North America, Canadian Pacific RailwayÕ s two lighted Ò Holiday TrainsÓ Ñ one in the eastern U.S. and Canada and another in the Midwest Ñ carry live musical shows performed from boxcar stages in an effort to end hunger.

Since 1999, the CP Holiday Train program has raised $7.4 million and generated more than 3 million pounds of food donations for local food shelves.

The entertainment on the Holiday Train this year will be The Claytones and Tracey Brown.

Formed in the heart of the Ottawa valley, The Claytones spin their melodic, vocal driven, Canadiana brand of country soaked roots music with old school sensibilities. A collaborative project, Kelly, Adam and Anders write and arrange their songs together making The Claytones sound the sum of its parts.

The young band recently released its debut album.

The three full-time musicians have released eight full-length

recordings of original music under the names of Kelly Prescott, Prescott, Anders Drerup, The Van Meters and Adam Puddington. The National Post listed them as one of the top five Canadian acts to watch in 2012. Ò The Claytones come across as if theyÕ ve been best friends all of their lives,Ó said Sue Tennant of Music On McLean House Concerts. Ò Kelly Prescott, Anders Drerup and Adam Puddington are the ultimate performers. They put on a phenomenal show; their sweet harmonies and instrumental prowess guides us through a nice mix of genres. Their professionalism oozes well beyond their years, like a comfy sweatshirt swaddling the crowd offering a memorable experience to all they encounter.Ó

Brown is a member of a family of celebrated musicians. She was part of CanadaÕ s most awarded country group, Family Brown, before forming the Juno award winning, Prescott-Brown.

The Family Brown toured extensively and had a syndicated TV show for 13 years.

During her career, Brown has released more than 20 albums and was nominated for a Juno as Best Country Female Vocalist in 1999. She is also a member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.

She and husband, Randall Prescott have been actively involved in production of the Ò Holiday TrainÓ since 2004, as well as performing on many of the tours.

Lake Steward program concludes its sixth year

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The sixth annual Lake Steward Program on Lake George concluded in 2013. Since 2008, the Lake George AssociationÕ s lake stewards have inspected over 32,000 boats at high traffic launches around the Lake, removed 490 aquatic invasive species samples from boats, and have educated more than 75,000 boaters about invasive species spread prevention.

Besides removing AIS from boats and educating boaters about AIS spread prevention, the data gathered by the program helps define how invasive species are spread, and the pathways that exist between other regional waterways and Lake George. This data has been critical in recent efforts to increase Lake GeorgeÕ s protection against AIS by instituting a new mandatory boat inspection program. Ò Not only are our lake stewards very effectively removing invasive species from boats before they enter the lake, data collected by our lake stewards continues to be instrumental in reinforcing the need for mandatory inspections of all trailered boats and decontamination if necessary,Ó said Walt Lender of Ticonderoga, executive director of the LGA. In 2013 lake stewards were posted at six launches around Lake George Ñ DunhamÕ s Bay, Hague town launch, Mossy Point, Norowal Marina, Million Dollar Beach and Rogers Rock.

The Lake George stewards inspected 7,087 boats and interacted with 17,288 boaters.

The total number of waterbodies visited within two weeks of overland transport to Lake George was 163 unique waterbodies. Other than Lake George itself, the next most frequently visited waterbodies in 2013 were the Hudson River, closely followed by Lake Champlain.

Both of these nearby waterbodies are known to have many nonnative and invasive species.

Lake stewards collected 213 aquatic organism samples from 153 boats and trailers, and identified 83 samples to be an invasive species.

Five different invasive species were identified — Eurasian watermilfoil, curly-leaf pondweed, water chestnut, zebra mussels, and quagga mussels. Eurasian watermilfoil, curly-

leaf pondweed, and zebra mussels are known to already be in Lake George, however, water chestnut and quagga mussels are not.

While 86 percent of boaters reported having previous interaction with a lake steward, only 47 percent of boaters reported taking at least one spread prevention measure. Spread prevention measures include but are not limited to washing the boat, draining the bilge, and inspecting the boat for plants and animals.

Thanks to additional funding provided by the Lake George Park Commission through the Environmental Protection Fund the lake steward program was expanded in 2013. The program started earlier and went later than in years past and stewards covered more hours at launches during the core summer months as well. The program typically runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, however, this year Lake Stewards were on duty as early as May 3 and as late as Oct. 13. The increased coverage afforded by the expanded funding made available this year resulted in an enhanced program Ð and enhanced protection for the Lake. A complete report of all the 2013 data is being compiled Ð and will be available to the public by the end of the year. All past reports are available on the LGA website, and the 2013 report will be posted online as well when complete. Ò WeÕ re very proud of our lake stewards,Ó Lender said. Ò They do a remarkable job protecting Lake George. ItÕ s a very effective program and it plays a critical role in spread preven-

Ticonderoga chamber cited county worker TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce recognized Meg Parker of Essex County Public Health during its volunteer appreciation dinner and awards ceremony recently.

Parker coordinates the Creating Healthy Places grant operated by public health. The grant is funded by the state Department of Health and supports access to nutritious foods and opportunities for physical activity for chronic disease prevention.

The recognition was largely for the work Parker conducted with the Ticonderoga Farmers Market. She arranged for overhead street banners in the downtown area; encouraged farmers to accept Farmer Market Nutrition program (FMNP) coupons from qualified seniors and WIC participants; added vendors; and included a youth stand. Ò Through the youth stand we connect Ticonderoga youth with the

community garden to grow and sell products at the farmers market,Ó said Parker. Ò Farmers market support was aimed at connecting residents with goods produced locally, improving access for limited income residents and improving the sustainability of the market.Ó Other Creating Healthy Places grant activities in Ticonderoga are supporting the development of a local food co-op, enhancing the LaChute River Trail, improving recreation areas like the ice skating area and Little League field, and Complete Streets amenities to encourage walking and biking.

Viewpoint

Buy local all year round Reflections from the past O N

ext weekend, while many people will be headed off for the malls and big-box retailers, fighting the crowds as shop for holiday gifts, others will be taking a more stress-free approach: shopping at their local hometown stores.

This next weekend brings us Small Business Saturday or Buy Local Day in several communities: Ticonderoga, Warrensburg, Plattsburgh, and Bolton Landing.

Shoppers visiting the local independently-owned businesses are more likely to find unique gifts, unlike the mass-produced items in the big-box stores. In addition, they probably will be greeted with a warm smile by someone they know, who cares about their family, and participates in local community life.

In Ticonderoga, two dozen businesses will be offering deep discounts. In Bolton Landing, shoppers will enjoy open houses with refreshments and pleasant socializing. In Warrensburg, businesses will be handing out raffle tickets for valuable prizes. In Plattsburgh, local enterprises will be offering a variety of these incentives.

We applaud the local chambers of commerce in these four communities for adopting the Buy Local initiative for Saturday Nov. 30. The promotion offers a welcome alternative to the madness of Black Friday Ñ which is oriented to big-box stores, and Cyber Monday, which supports faceless e-commerce corporations.

But such awareness of our local entrepreneurs shouldnÕ t be limited to one day Ñ we should be practicing it all year long.

While Denton Publications and other community newspaper publishers have been promoting the concept for decades, the idea of shopping locally has recently been gaining traction due to the growth of the sustainable living movement.

Buying locally offers a lot of practical advantages: saving plenty on the costs involved in driving to the suburban big-box stores and malls, as well as avoiding the mayhem and jammed parking lots. Small businesses also offer more comprehensive, personalized service Ñ because the proprietors understand your needs Ñ which can mean greater satisfaction derived from purchases.

But there are other more crucial and far-reaching benefits. Shopping locally supports local job creation. Not only are small businesses the largest employer nationally, they provide the most jobs to local citizens.

Considered the backbone of the U.S. economy, small businesses have been responsible for creating about two-thirds of all new jobs in the U.S. over the past 20 years.

Small businesses build strong local economies that are more likely to weather recessions. Studies show that each dollar spent at independent businesses returns three times more money to the local economy than cash spent at a chain store. Local enterprises are also the customers of local accountants, wholesalers, attorneys, farmers, while big corporations tend to bypass such local entrepreneurs.

ItÕ s documented that since local businesses generate more tax revenue per sales dollar, they build the local tax base, supporting various vital services. ItÕ s also a fact that local businesses provide an average of 3.5 times more financial support to local non-profit groups and charities than national corporate stores.

Studies also indicate that local enterprises spend far more money locally, boosting local prosperity. Buying local minimizes impact on the environment, as it curbs sprawl and pollution while tending to encourage preservation of our communitiesÕ architectural heritage.

Spending money with local entrepreneurs is an investment in keeping our communities unique, with their own distinctive character and charm. Small enterprises are owned by local citizens who have a long-term stake in the community and itÕ s future.

Most of all, however, spending money with local hometown businesses supports the kind of vibrant, cohesive community that we want to live in, with strong social interconnections, while it curbs materialism. Simply stated, buying local promotes a more fulfilling way of life. Ñ

Letters to the Editor

Use common sense To the Times of Ti: The recent election of five new supervisors in Essex County has caused me to think there is more to the story. Did the five sitting supervisors really deserve to be replaced or was it voter apathy that caused them to be turned down?

In most instances those elected were of the same political party, which would rule out ideology as a reason. Could it be that voters rejected the defeated because they felt more needed to be done with less? Voters always favor those who say they will cut taxes and improve services even though we know in our hearts this canÕ t be done. Perhaps voters wishfully convinced themselves it can be done and as a result they voted their pocketbooks!

History tells us many promises are made before an election and few of them are kept! Over and over again we vote for a candidate knowing his/her promises are made with the hope they are believed so they can be elected. I would guess those who voted out those sitting supervisors wonÕ t remember the reasons they voted for the victors or receive the promises the victors promised!

A real sad fact is the number of votes cast in the recent election. The polls show only a small portion of voters showed up to vote throughout the county. IsnÕ t this an indication of non-caring on the part of most voters? Here we live in a country where millions have died to protect our right to vote and many sit home on Election Day and grumble about how our government doesnÕ t work right.

I am not one of them as I deem it a privilege to honor those who fought for my freedom by voting my conscience.

Having no quarrel with any of the supervisors who were defeated or those elected, I wish them all well. My concern is that those elected will meet the same fate as their predecessors when it is time for them to be re-elected. My advice to them is to start off by letting those who voted for them know the promises made were only dressing and should not be taken as gospel! Lastly I would advise them to use common sense, as this is what sets North Country people apart from others.

Learn about Common Core To the Times of Ti: In last weekÕ s Times of Ti edition there was an article about

the new educational initiative called Common Core Standards.

It has been met with much skepticism & criticism; chief among them are the “one-size fits all” approach, excessive testing, reduced teaching time, and a more intrusive government via datamining.

In the article last week NYS Education Commissioner John King claimed he canceled the remaining forums due to an unruly special interest group. Nothing could be further from the truth.

When concerned parents, teachers, and students met in Poughkeepsie in mid-October to discuss the standards, Mr. King and other officials dominated the discussion for at least 1 hour and 20 minutes.

After being promised one hour to speak the attendees were granted only 23 minutes before the panel pulled the plug on them.

As taxpayers, you too would be upset that your grievances were cut short.

Right now, Mr. King has changed the schedule to include smaller venues in the hopes they will be less vocal. As my letter goes to print the Schroon Lake meeting will have already taken place on Nov. 20. This forum may be smaller in size, but I bet theyÕ ll be no less vocal than in Poughkeepsie. I encourage every parent to do your own homework and search the internet to learn more about Common Core. Please follow that up with a visit to your school superintendents and other officials.

Hospice month observed

and volunteers assume these responsibilities so that patients and their families can live the fullest life possible. Hospice care providers accept lifeÕ s challenges. They are committed to increasing their skills and understanding in order to enhance the care they provide to each person they are privileged to serve.

Hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance plans. Care is provided wherever the person lives: in their home or at an extended care facility. Care is available to people of all ages, with any life-limiting illness, regardless of their ability to pay.

If you or a loved one is facing a life-limiting illness, learning more about hospice and palliative care could be much more than you think.

Meg Wood, executive director High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care

Auction a success To the Times of Ti: The Hague Boy Scouts, Troop 73, would like to thank everyone for making our first auction a huge success. Thanks to all the people who helped, donated and who bid on our items. Thanks to all the local businesses who supported us. A special thanks to Rick, Michelle, Grace and Bill from Mountain Time Auctions for donating their time and experience. Everyone had such a good time we might just do it again next year!

To the Times of Ti: November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month.

Many people facing life-limiting illness focus on thoughts of loss and separation. Awareness of this critical need allows us to remind your readers that hospice and palliative care are truly about living.

Over the past 40 years the number of hospice programs in the US has grown from 1,500 to more than 5,000. High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care is a resource in our community that provides comfort, dignity and respect for people at a time of need.

Professional medical staff, social workers, chaplains, and trained volunteers work with patients and families to tailor expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support according to their preferences. Hospice works with a patientÕ s personal physician to bring continuity of care to the highest level. Other support services help with managing lifeÕ s practical tasks as well as complicated issues related to their situation.

Hospice can help to resolve conflict, to deal with financial issues and submit medical bills, and to face the burden of grief. Staff

TFCU celebrates annual Credit Union Week TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union members and others from the community participated in the annual Credit Union Week celebration Oct. 15-19. This yearÕ s celebration included three member appreciation barbecues, the fourth annual Shred Fest and a carnival-themed member appreciation event. Ò Credit Union Week provides an opportunity for our staff to interact with our members on a different level and give back to the community,Ó said Shawn Hayes, TFCU president and CEO. Ò ItÕ s a great example of the credit union difference.Ó The community appreciation event was a family friendly, carnival-themed event took place at the Best Western in Ticonderoga. The event included a bounce-house, Penelope-theClown, prize wheel, photo booth and credit union product and service information booths.

Attendees were encouraged to visit the information booths and spin the prize wheel. One attendee, Dawn Davis, was randomly selected to win an iPad. Shred Fest was a free paper shredding event, aimed at increasing public awareness of identity theft prevention, produced over

5,600 pounds of shredded paper, resulting in a $443.10 donation to be split among three area food pantries. The public was invited to bring their personally identifying documents to shred on site in a mobile shredding truck, located in the Best Western parking lot. Non-perishable food donations were accepted in exchange for free paper-shredding and divided among three area food pantries.

Member appreciation barbecues featured free lunches served by credit union staff at each branch.

International Credit Union Week commemorates the role that credit unions around the world play in their communities. Differing from banks, credit unions do not pay dividends to outside shareholders. Rather, earnings are returned to their members in the form of lower loan rates, higher interest rates on deposits and lower or no transaction fees.

Established in 1954, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union has been serving the financial needs of its members for 59 years. It currently operates offices on Route 9N in Ticonderoga, Meacham Street in Port Henry and Court Street in Elizabethtown and can be found online at www.tfcunow.com.

Ti Thanksgiving From page 1 sauce, rolls/butter. Mmmmm,Ó organizer Tricia Stonitsch said. Ò Add a little egg nog or orange-cranberry apple cider punch, delish.Ó The entire event is designed to have a family feeling, she said. Ò After some conversation and the passing of time, a good hot cup of coffee or tea with a slice of homemade pumpkin or apple pie, including a few other delights Ñ we donÕ t count the calories in those Ñ and it soon becomes nap time,Ó Stonitsch said. Ò Is that how it goes at your home? Ò Well the Adirondack Dinner Table, hosted at the Ticonderoga fire house brings you all that and more, minus the nap time,” she said. Ò This Thanksgiving join us as we form new friendships and check in with the old familiar ones sharing time, thatÕ s how you spell love.Ó The entire community is invited to attend.

Each guest is received and brought to a table. Many of the menu items are prepared by families in their homes and brought to the fire house Thanksgiving morning. Volunteers then make turkey, gravy, smashed potatoes and sweets.

Volunteers are needed to help with the annual dinner.

Stonitsch said volunteers are needed to purchase dinner items, cook, make desserts, do prep work on Wednesday evening, set tables and decorate on Thursday, to make deliveries to those who canÕ t attend and to clean up on Friday. Ò To make this all happen we use the adage Ô Many hands make light workÕ ,Ó Stonitsch said. Ò There are opportunities galore for all age groups and abilities to help make this the best day ever for so many folks.Ó Meals will be delivered to anyone living from Hague to Witherbee who cannot make it to the fire house.

People interested in volunteering, attending the dinner or having a dinner delivered to their home can contact Stonitsch at 5856369 or Janet at 572-1915.

Beth Wiscopskil of Vermont won a colorful quilt donated by Patricia Geh of Putnam Station for a fund raising event at Putnam Presbyterian Church. The fundraiser produced $701 for the church.

Road work to bottleneck important Etown intersection

By Keith Lobdell

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ For the next year, Elizabethtown will no longer be a one-light town, but not because of growth.

The New York State Department of Transportation red-flagged the bridge over the Boquet River located at the base of the intersection of Route 9N and Lincoln Pond Road. Ò Motorists are advised that the Route 9N bridge over the Boquet River in Elizabethtown... will be reduced to one alternating lane controlled by traffic signals beginning next week,Ó a statement from the DOT said. Ò The

lane reduction is needed because a recent regularly scheduled inspection revealed deterioration in one of the bridgeÕ s beams.Ó DOT said the bridge is scheduled to be replaced in 2014, with the one-lane traffic pattern being in place until completion of the project. Ò I would ask everyone to be very patient,Ó Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said. Ò Right now, there is no option not to do it. We talked about the reconstruction part of this plan over the summer with the state and engineers, but now their most recent inspection shows there is a huge issue with the upstream side of the bridge and it has to be closed on that side.Ó

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union is again offering local high school seniors the opportunity to win several scholarships toward tuition at a two or fouryear accredited college.

TFCU student members will be competing with high school students from credit unions statewide for $1,000 Credit Union Association of New York awards. In addition, they will be competing regionally within the Adirondack District for a $500 scholarship and locally among TFCU members for $500 scholarships.

Three $500 TFCU scholarships were awarded in 2013.

To be eligible, students must be collegebound high school seniors at the time of appli-

cation, attending college for the first time in the fall of 2014, and members of the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union.

Applications are available at Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union’s home office located at 1178 NYS Rt. 9N, Ticonderoga, and at branch locations at 43 Meacham St., Port Henry, and 7519 Court St., Elizabethtown. Applications and instructions may also be printed from the credit unionÕ s website. Visit www.tfcunow.com to download an application.

Applications must be returned to any TFCU office, ATTN: Pamela Nolan, no later than Jan. 31. For more information, visit a TFCU office or call a member service representative at 5856725.

TFCU scholarships available

Bartley said the bridge is perhaps the most vital in the town, providing passage into the hamlet for cars coming from towns in Eastern Essex County. Ò It is a major roadway for county employees coming from Westport and Moriah,Ó Bartley said. Ò When there are accidents on the interstate, this is where they redirect the traffic through. My concern from that is all of the big trucks that come through.Ó Bartley said she is also concerned about the amount of signage that will be in place coming into Elizabethtown.

“Exiting town is flat,” Bartley said. “Coming into Elizabethtown from Westport and Moriah is where there could be some concern, especially with the slope off of Lincoln Pond Road.

I hope that lights will be positioned in a way to give people adequate time to stop.Ó Essex County Department of Public Works

Director Anthony LaVigne shared BartleyÕ s concern about the intersection. Ò I hope they take that into consideration terms of the sloping and other issues that can arise there,Ó he said. Ò People have to stop there coming in from Lincoln Pond anyway, but they will have signage to let people know there may be delays.Ó LaVigne said that state will determine how long traffic light changes will take place base don traffic patterns throughout the day.

Bartley said motorists should use proper planning to ensure a safe and timely route to work. Ò People are going to have to factor this in for the next year coming to work,Ó she said. Ò We have 500-600 people coming into and out of this town daily, and they are just going to have to factor in more time.Ó

Moriah has reached the semifinals of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D football tournament.

The Vikings topped Section II champion Cambridge, 34-32, Nov. 15 to advance to the Final Four. Moriah will play Chester, the Section IX champion, at 4 p.m. Nov. 22 at Dietz Stadium in Kingston. The winner advances to the state championship game.

Chester, 9-1 on the season, reached the semifinal round by beating Tuckahoe of Section I, 26-21, Nov. 15.

Moriah, 7-4 on the campaign, earned its trip to the state semifinals with another dramatic goal line stand as it beat Cambridge.

Cambridge scored with 1:39 remaining in the contest and went for a two-point conversion. The Viking defense rose to the occasion, stuffing a running play to secure the win.

It was a back-and-forth contest with five lead changes and three ties.

After Cambridge scored on a long pass, Moriah answered with a 5-yard scoring run by Troy Welch. Jarrod MacDougal

booted the extra point.

Cambridge returned an interception for a TD and a 14-7 lead, but Moriah came back to knot the game when Cole Gaddor crashed into the end zone from a yard out and MacDougal added the PAT. Another long pass play gave Cambridge the lead before Gaddor added another touchdown from a yard away to forge a 20-20 deadlock at the intermission.

Moriah grabbed its first lead of the tilt in the third period when C.J. Raymond scored on a 9-yard run. MacDougal added the extra point. Cambridge answered, but missed the PAT, and Moriah held a 27-26 advantage entering the final stanza.

Tyler Pratt, who moved from receiver to running back when Welch was injured in the battle, extended MoriahÕ s lead with a 17-yard TD run in the final quarter. MacDougal’s boot made it a 34-26 game.

Cambridge had one last strike, a 56-yard TD pass that made

the game 34-32 and set the stage for the dramatic two-point conversion try that Moriah squashed.

Raymond led the Viking offense, running for 111 yards and a score. Welch added 63 yards and Pratt 30 yards on five carries.

Gaddor ran for just 11 yards, but scored two touchdowns. He also hit five passes for 112 yards.

The victory sends Moriah to the state semifinals for the fourth time in the past six years.

Chester has reached the state quarterfinal eight times in the last 11 years, but this is only its second trip to the state semifinal round.

Chester is a strong running team, led by backs Lawrence Young and Matthew Perry. Young leads the team with 1,014 yards and 16 touchdowns, while Perry has contributed 715 yards and 13 scores on the ground.

Carbon Jiu-Jitsu to compete

ponents were half his age, but Don showed them how grit sometimes trumps youth. Don will be facing a fighter his age this time in Whitehall; both fighters proving it is never too late to pursue something you love.Ó Also taking part in the Whitehall event will be Darrin Hunsdon Jr., an affiliate member of the Ticonderoga club, who lives and works in Syracuse. Ò This will be the second time the two cousins, Darrin and Nick, will be fighting together on the same card,” Ross said. Ò Darrin is undefeated at 3-0 and is quite a wrecking machine inside the cage.Ó Ross said MMA is gaining popularity. Ò Mixed martial arts, or more familiar MMA, is without a doubt the fastest growing sport in the world today,Ó Ross said. Ò The UFC, or Ultimate Fighting Championship, is currently the worldÕ s largest MMA promotion. The UFC was developed to answer an age old question as to which martial art was the most effective in a real combative confrontation between competitors of different fighting disciplines. As the sport began to evolve, fight-

ers began adopting effective techniques from more than one discipline which indirectly helped create an entirely separate style of fighting known as present day MMA.”

Ti fighters seek titles on MMA card at Whitehall event

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ A group of Ticonderoga mixed martial arts fighters will seek championship belts.

Members of the Ti-based Carbon Jiu-Jitsu MMA club will be part of a card at the Whitehall Athletic Club at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30. The former Whitehall armory is located at 62 Poultney St. Tickets are available at the Whitehall Athletic Club and by calling 260-8759 or 499-0134.

Representing Carbon Jiu-Jitsu will be Devon Slattery, Jose Feliciano, Nick Mars and Don Austin. Slattery and Feliciano will be seeking Whitehall Athletic Club titles sanctioned by the World Kickboxing Association.

Carbon Jiu-Jitsu is led by Arnold Ross. Ò What started in my home basement back in 2005 with my two sons as a way to stay fit and learn more about the sport has become a passion of mine,Ó Ross said. Ò Living in an area where there was very limited access to high level instruction forced our learning process into purchasing books, DVDs, internet sites and traveling to seminars as well as good old trial and error sparring.

All these methods of learning have proven to be very effective as our teamÕ s current record indicates. Ò Carbon Jiu-Jitsu is our name,Ó he said. Ò As our name suggests, there is only one way a chunk of coal becomes a diamond and that is with extreme pressure over time.Ó Call Ross at 419-7785 for information on the Ticonderoga club.

The Whitehall bouts will be five rounds, three minutes each. Ò This will not be a cakewalk,Ó Ross said of the Whitehall event. Ò JoseÕ s opponent is from Rochester and is from a tough team by the name of Iron Sharpens Iron. DevonÕ s opponent is from New Hampshire and reigns from a team who has roots into the Gracie family, the founders of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, called Team-Link. Both opponents are ranked in the top 10 rankings for amateur fighters in New England.

“The other two fighters, Nick Mars and Don Austin represent the full age spectrum of this sport Ñ Nick being our youngest member at 20 years old and Don our most senior at 40 years old,Ó Ross said. Ò Nick is our most recent member and with only a month and a half of training took a fight in Burlington against a seasoned Irish boxer turned MMA fighter and did extremely well. Don has two fights under his belt and both of these op-

Full power, full moon

I

first took notice of the full power of a Full Moon during my two year stint working as a Residence Hall Director at Plattsburgh State.

Invariably, I was the one who always pulled the short straw and ended up as the Director on Duty during a full moon weekend.

In the course of my first two tours of duty scouting the campus for trouble, I encountered more drunken students, accidental injuries and similar instances of non-conforming behaviors than I experienced for the remainder of the school year.

And mind you, Plattsburgh State was a really notorious party school during the 1970Õ s and Ô 80Õ s. Exhibitions of bad behavior and misconduct were the rule, rather than an anomaly.

The Residence Hall staff always worked closely with the Campus Police to lower the level of disobedience. However, we quickly learned where the term Ô lunacyÕ comes from, as we witnessed the normally sane students run amuck like lunatics for two full nights of near full lunar exposure.

On weekends with a forecast of a full moon, the Director of Residence Life regularly issued Moonlight Madness alerts to warn of bad behavior. Janitorial staffers often used their personal days on Mondays, following a full moon event. There was usually just too much of a mess for them to deal with.

By now, readers of this column are probably wondering what any of this ancient history has to do with a current outdoor column.

Well, the point of this background story is to illustrate the power moon phases affect all animals, even humans.

Last weekend, many whitetail hunters came to realize this power, as the Rutting Moon came to pass.

This moon phase, is often confused with the HunterÕ s Moon which occurred on Sept. 19 this year.

The Rutting Moon, which occurred on Sunday, Nov. 17 is the single, most important date in a deer hunterÕ s year, as it signals the peak of the rut, the whitetails mating season.

By the time you read these words, the rut will have already peaked, and the bucks will still be looking for love in all the wrong places.

As evidenced by the behavior of college students I witnessed in the 1970Õ s, all animals are affected by the pull of the moon.

Animal House wasn’t a documentary film, but it wasn’t all fiction either.

Fortunately for deer hunters, evidence has well established that a majority of whitetail does will be in peak estrus through the end of the week.

This is also a timeframe when bucks get weak in the knees, after chasing down all the does they can find. It is also a time when hunters get weak in the knees after putting in some long

cold days on the stand, waiting for their buck to stroll by.

Over the past weekend, it was evident that deer were on the move. We had over a half dozen sightings, with just two shorts days in camp. If the weather cooperates, (read snow and cold), I expect there will be a lot of deer taken this weekend.

Whitetails 101: The Learning Curve

My first trip into hunting camp came at the ripe old age of 11, which is considered rather late by most Adirondack standards.

On my first trip, I was a guest at the Niambi Hunting Club, which was located near North Creek.

My own children first went to hunting camp when they were still too young to walk all the way. My packbasket always got heavier as the closer I got to camp, with the girls curled up among the hunting clothes, food and other essentials.

I made up for my late start by asking questions, and listening to a lot of experienced hunters.

Although I am far from an experienced hunter, I do recognize some of the best advice IÕ ve learned in my quest to improve my odds of harvesting a buck.

Unfortunately, there is not one, single solution to the puzzle.

Rather, it is comparable to a long series of steps that must be taken in order to reach the top of the hill. Shooting skills are just the beginning.

Scent control probably ranks second. Learn to monitor the wind regularly. A pocket full of puffball mushrooms is very useful in this regard.

A major key to the process begins by observing deer, which is very difficult to do if you don’t know where to find them.

When you do find deer, which are often out in the fields during the late summer, take the time to study their shapes. Note the flat back, the four posts of legs, the flicker of white from the tail.

Other obvious tell tail signatures are the black dot of a nose, the black sheen of a hoof, the square shape of a full body or the point of an ear.

You need to get really good at recognizing just the parts and pieces of a deer, before youÕ ll ever have a chance to see a whole one. They have an amazing ability to blend into the natural cover and simply disappear.

It may seem to be difficult, but finding and recognizing deer are the easy part of the puzzle. The really tough part is controlling your emotions, and the accompanying adrenaline.

Buck fever isnÕ t a joke, as most hunters have experienced a bout or two of the malady. It begins with the shakes and ends with deep breathing and alot of Ò what ifÕ s.Ó In between is usually a bit of hell.

It often begins with the first sighting, and grows as the target gets nearer. On average, a hunter has less than seven seconds from first sight to final shot. That’s about the length of time it took you to read this paragraph.

In that timeframe, a hunter must confirm the deer is actually a buck, and small horns are often difficult to see when they’re hidden by large ears. It is an almost impossible feat to accomplish when the background is all brown, and especially when it includes beech whips. This must be accomplished as your breathing becomes difficult and your knees grow weak.

On my first experience hunting with a bow, I could hardly move when a deer appeared directly below my stand. I was frozen like a teenager awaiting a kiss on the first date. I didn’t know

Former Elizabethtown resident, Fred Myers sent along these photos of some of the trophy whitetail deer he has been raising on a large private ranch in Texas. Even though the whitetails were still in velvet when the photos were taken, the size of the headgear is truly amazing. Fred and his brother Tom continue to spend their time on the hunt whenever time permits. It is easy to understand the reason why. what to do, as my heart was nearly pounding out of my chest.

But I remembered the advice of a friend. DonÕ t look at the whole deer, focus on one point of aim and be sure to follow through and watch the deerÕ s reaction. Often the reaction will provide an indication of your aim. Mark the line it runs in your mind.

One of the most common mistakes a beginner makes is to rush things after a shot. It is only natural to want to hurry over and see if you hit it. Fight the urge. One old timer advised me to pack a pipe full of tobacco immediately after you shoot, and donÕ t go looking for the deer until you’ve finished it.

If you missed, youÕ ll be calmed down. If you hit it, the deer will likely have run a ways and died. Never pressure a deer thatÕ s been hit, they can run a long ways on adrenaline, and itÕ s always a long drag home.

Leave your hat, or some other item as a marker on the location where your took the shot. It will help you to find where the deer was when it was hit.

A hunterÕ s best weapons are patience, persistence and perseverance. It is a mindset that becomes a mantra. It is a learned behavior that is only achieved through confidence. It is not fun to go back out on a cold miserable day when the wind is whipping snow into your eyes and the only thing you can see is your own breath.

Be on your watch in the dark, and exit the woods after the sun has set.That’s what flashlights are made for and it’s what real hunters are made of.

drivers are using their cell phones, making them four times more likely to be in an accident than other drivers.

Texting while driving is a greater danger than talking on a cell phone, according to FocusDriven.

American teens send and receive an average of 3,300 text messages per month Ñ more than six texts every hour they are awake, the advocacy group reports. On average, texting causes drivers to look away from the road for 4.6 seconds. At 55 mph, the vehicle travels the length of an entire football field while the driver isnÕ t looking.

Texting while driving increases chances of a crash by up to 23 times, FocusDriven notes. Drivers who type or read text messages contribute to at least 100,000 crashes each year, leading to thousands of preventable deaths.

Good, who is a board member at FocusDriven, will tell her

CHIMNEY SWEEP

killed my parents, and left me severely injured, was caused because of someone talking on his cell phone,Ó Good said. Ò I was outraged and got involved with the Pennsylvania congress almost as soon as I was out of the hospital. IÕ m still too impaired by my remaining handicaps to work, so all of my time is spent in occupational and physical therapy, and telling my horrific story whenever the opportunity arises.Ó

story to Schroon Lake students. Ò My parents, Jay and Jean, were driving me home on May 18, 2008, the day I graduated with magna cum laude honors from Muhlenberg College (Pennsylvania),Ó Good said. Ò WeÕ d made this short trip countless times. At 3:30 in the afternoon an 18-year old young man approached a red light on a road intersecting ours. This young man was talking on his cell phone and momentarily stopped at the red light before turning left onto our road.

As he did so the driver of a tractor trailer swerved to miss him and slammed full force into my parentsÕ car.

“A paramedic, who lived near by, arrived to find my mother had no heartbeat, my father had a faint heartbeat, and I wasnÕ t breathing,Ó she said. Ò He shifted my head and I took a gasp for air. It was at least three months later after being told many times when it finally sunk in that the accident that had left me in so much pain and in the hospital had also taken the lives of both my wonderful parents. Ò After surviving the unthinkable, I found out the crash that
