Ò This is something weÕ ve been doing for decades in Moriah,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò WeÕ re in favor of anything that helps reduce the property tax burden.Ó The town of Moriah and village of Port Henry already share a number of services. They share a police department, consolidating two separate

agencies in 1993. They also share a wastewater treatment plant, a youth program, a justice court, assessors and the health center. Ò We do a lot with the village,Ó Scozzafava said.

Truck, train collide in Ticonderoga IP employee critically injured

TICONDEROGA Ñ An International Paper Co. employee was critically injured when the truck he was driving was struck by a passenger train in Ticonderoga Feb. 5.

Brian E. Woods, age 27, of Moriah was driving an IP-owned pick up across railroad tracks on IP property off Shore Airport Road when the vehicle was struck by a northbound Amtrak train at about 3 p.m.

Woods was the only person in the truck, which was struck on the passenger side, according to Mark Johns, Ticonderoga police chief. Ò ItÕ s very lucky there wasnÕ t a passenger in the truck,Ó Johns said. Ò The truck was demolished.Ó Woods was taken to Moses-Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga and then transferred to Fletcher Allen Hospital in Burlington.

Johns said Woods had critical internal injuries.

The rail cross had signs, but no electronic warning devices, Johns said.

The accident took place during a heavy snow storm, Johns said, but itÕ s unknown if weather contributed to the accident. Ò WeÕ ve not been able to interview the driver,Ó Johns said. Ò Our investigation is continuing and I donÕ t want to speculate on a possible cause.Ó Assisting Ti PD with the investigation are the New York State Police collision reconstruction team and the Canadian Pacific Police Department. Ò We are investigating because of the severity of the injuries,Ó Johns said. Ò We donÕ t believe there is any criminal culpability.Ó Also responding was the Ticonderoga Emergency Squad and the Ticonderoga Fire Department.

The Amtrak train had five cars and an engine. It was carrying 73 passengers and a six-member crew. The train remained at the

scene until 8 p.m., when it was backed to the Ticonderoga train station.

Passengers were then unloaded and transported north by bus,

Johns said.

The train tracks were undamaged and regular rail traffic resumed that night, Johns said.

Fort Ti to offer glimpse of 1759 Living history event Feb. 15 and 16

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Fort Ticonderoga will host a living history event highlighting the lives of Massachusetts provincial soldiers at Fort Ticonderoga in 1759.

It will be held Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 15 and 16, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $10 a person. Friends of Fort Ticonderoga and children 4 years old and younger are free. Ò Guests will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with costumed interpretive staff as they portray American Provincial soldiers facing the challenges of daily life as a soldier at Ticonderoga during the French and Indian War,Ó Beth Hill Fort Ti president and CEO, said. Ò The weekend-long event will include special tours highlighting General AmherstÕ s army and the campaign of 1759. Interactive programs will feature soldierÕ s life activities including cooking, carpentry, tailoring, shoemaking, and maintenance of weapons. A guest favorite, Fort TiconderogaÕ s highly acclaimed musket demonstration, will be offered several times throughout the weekend and will demonstrate how provincial soldiers, using an array of British army muskets, civilian fowlers, and captured French fusils, used their firelocks.”

A video preview of the event is available online at http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRKrTORTA7E&list=UUpIuw_

Wl6uJgrvo6797Ekjg&feature=c4-overview The fortÕ s winter programs were recently featured in Ò Travel and LeisureÓ magazineÕ s Ò AmericaÕ s Best Winter Rides.Ó Ò Fort TiconderogaÕ s winter programs offer guests an intimate historic experience at one of AmericaÕ s most beautiful and historically significant locations,” Hill said. “During these winter programs guests are immersed in specific moments in our remarkable past, interact with talented staff that bring the fortÕ s history to life in dramatic new ways, and will truly feel the power of the site in the midst of the quiet and rugged winter beauty at Ticonderoga.Ó Each day of the living history event will include guided tours of the fort at 10:15 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 3 p.m. along with musket demonstrations at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Ò All the Workmen and LabourersÓ will be presented each day at 11:30 a.m. at the American flag. Visitors will march out to meet the provincial soldiers at work in the woods felling trees for firewood and to repair the walls of the newly christened Fort Ticonderoga. Hiking boots and winter clothing are recommended. Ò An Encouragement to the Soldiers who shall proceed in this YearÕ s CampaignÓ will be held each day at 12:30 p.m. in the Mars Education Center. It will explore how Massachusetts provincial soldiers were raised and supplied for the campaign, including how soldiers were recruited, and the role of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

Several programs and exhibits will also be available through-

out the weekend.

The Tailor and Shoe Shop on the second floor of the Officers Barracks will demonstrate the skills of a shoemaker and tailor in the army.

The Soldier’s Quarters on the ground floor of the Officers Barracks will display the quarters provincial soldiers would cobble together inside the heavily damaged and captured French fort.

A SoldierÕ s Life, held on the fort parade ground, will allow visitors to stand with American soldiers, wrapped in their lapelled coats and leggings, as they undertake their daily duties.

The exhibit Ò It Would Make a Heart of Stone MeltÓ will be available on the ground floor of the Soldiers Barracks. It examines wounds, disease, injury and the treatment of these ailments for soldiers at Fort Ticonderoga during the American Revolution.

The exhibit Ò Pork, Pigeon & PotteryÓ will also be available on the ground floor of the Soldiers Barracks. In this exhibit of original artifacts recovered from the ruins of Fort Ticonderoga, explore the meals of soldiers and officers who served inside this Ò Old French Fort.Ó

Why the winter Olympics may never return

E

very four years, the spectacle and competition of the Winter Olympic Games returns to the main stage, this time taking place in Sochi, Russia.

What also comes every four years is the call for a look at whether or not Lake Placid, the home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympiads, could again host the world for two weeks in February. The answer is no. At least, not without help.

In a way, the reason Lake Placid can no longer host the Olympic Games is because of the Lake Placid Olympic Games. The 1980 games are what made the Olympics the multi-billion dollar revenue-generating machine they are today. The United States won six gold medals, and each drew major attention as five went to speed skater Eric Heiden in one of the most dominating performances ever on ice.

Oh, yeah, and then there was the sixth one, which came in the most exciting sports moment ever as the United States menÕ s hockey team won gold, beating the feared and favored Soviet Union, 4-3, in the semifinal round.

The Miracle on Ice is the moment that changed the Winter Olympics from a sporting competition to a human drama played out in the sports arena. That created the way the Olympics are broadcast now, with human feature stories of triumph and courage in the face of overwhelming odds.

Of course, with more eyes on the games came more revenue, and with more revenue the chance to expand. In 1980, the Olympics included just 36 events over 10 disciplines Ñ alpine and cross country skiing, biathlon, bobsled, figure skating, ice hockey, luge, Nordic combined, ski jumping and long track speed skating. This year, there are 98 events over 15 disciplines.

Included now are freestyle skiing, skeleton, short track speed skating, snowboarding and, of course, curling.

The number of competitors has also increased. In 1980, 37 countries took part in the Lake Placid Games, compared to 88 countries in 2014.

With more countries and more eyeballs comes more media, as outlets from all over the world converge together to cover the games.

The media presence alone would need more room then the 1980 athletes did.

So why not expand Lake Placid? Why not add a new venue for figure skating (you are going to need at least 10,000 seats for the event, if not more), an additional hockey venue, a new athletes village, more hotel rooms and all of the modern things needed for the new games. You could spread them out over the entire tri-lakes area, into Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake.

Unfortunately, this is not going to work. Not because it couldnÕ t be done. The United States Olympic Committee put a lot of money into the Salt Lake City area to host the 2002 games and would not have to come anywhere near the $51 billion price tag it took to turn a Russian beach town into a winter sports haven.

But that will not happen in the Adirondacks.

ThatÕ s because, even if the needed development projects cleared the regulatory red tape of the Adirondack Park Agency, they would still face the scrutiny here of so-called Ò environmental watchdogÓ groups.

The real reason the winter Olympics could never be held here again is groups like Protect the Adirondacks and others would no doubt delay the plan to death with frivolous lawsuit after frivolous lawsuit. Just look at how these groups have held up the Adirondack Club and Resort proposal in Tupper Lake. The same would happen to this plan.

So, with expansion out of the question, the next option might be hosting some components of the games with another, bigger city.

The most viable option is an in-state dance partner, and the most likely place would be the capital region. The Albany area still has potential to grow. It already has an international airport that could be expanded. It has hotels, an arena that could be upgraded to host bigger ticket events like figure skating and easy access to the Adirondacks, where skiing, bobsled and some ice events could take place (curling and short track speed skating - long track events would need a new venue). It also does not have to worry about blue line restrictions when it comes to development.

The only issue becomes the United States Olympic Committee, which is already looking at other cities, such as Denver, Colorado, or a return to Salt Lake City ahead of an east coast location.

Even if the games never come back, we should still be grateful for the rich history the region has already. The North Country has the distinction of being the home of the greatest sporting moment in history. We still get worldclass athletes coming to the region to train and compete in top level events. We also have the chance to build the future of winter sports with events like the Empire State Games, where youth from all over the state come together to make their own Olympic-style memories while learning about the history of the sport.

While the Olympic games may never return, our Olympic heritage will never leave. Ñ

Enough is enough

By Glenn Pareira and Kendra Gertsch

5.6 million children alive today will die prematurely from smoking related diseases unless smoking rates drop, says the latest Surgeon GeneralÕ s Report. In New York, thatÕ s 280,000 children who will have their lives cut short because of tobacco.

This is just one of the startling statistics highlighted in the latest report entitled Ò Smoking and Health: 50 Years of ProgressÓ .

2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the first Surgeon General’s Report on Tobacco Use which concluded that tobacco smoke was directly linked to lung cancer in men. Since then 32 subsequent reports have linked smoking to diseases which affect every organ of the body. The latest report highlights new connections between smoking and diabetes, colorectal and liver cancer. Perhaps more alarming is the now documented connection between second hand smoke and a higher risk for stroke. Ò Enough is enough,Ó this was the sentiment expressed by the Surgeon General at the Press Conference announcing the latest report. As public health professionals, and representatives of the North Country Tobacco Cessation Center (NCTCC) and the Adirondack Tobacco Free Network, this is a sentiment we would like to echo.

Enough is enough. According to the CDC, In New York State

Excellent editorial To the Times of Ti: Please accept my sincere appreciation for the excellent editorial published in the Feb. 1 edition of your paper. Every statement from media that describes the devastating results connected with the implementation of the Common Core, with its standardized testing procedures, gives hope to those of us who have been singing this song for years. With help from your newspaper and others, something constructive might come of this adventure.

Having spent my entire career as a professional educator trying to improve the quality of education in our public schools, my fear is that too many people think that a return to the past is our only and best solution, perhaps because they havenÕ t experienced other alternatives. Memories seem to be short. It wasnÕ t too many years ago when there were criticisms over the shortcomings of our systems of general education, before the present standardization movement began. Failure to adequately address these shortcomings has given the present advocates of the Common Core and standardized testing a reason to exist.

Today, finding and implementing better solutions is being restricted from public review, partly due to the defensiveness found among educators and the lay public over any criticisms directed at the school, and partly due to legislative mechanisms

25,000 people die every year from diseases caused by tobacco use. Diseases caused by smoking cost our health care system in New York $8 billion a year, much of which is paid for by the taxpayers of New York. It is estimated each household in New York pays $883 a year for smoking-caused government expenditures.

We donÕ t believe that New Yorkers want to continue losing loved ones to tobacco, nor do they want to carry the financial burden of the added health care costs that stem from tobacco use.

Enough is enough. Each day, more than 3,200 youth (younger than 18 years of age) smoke their first cigarette and another 2,100 youth and young adults who are occasional smokers progress to become daily smokers. Tobacco industries enlist retailers (their most important marketing partner) to display their products in highly visible areas where youth will see them every time they shop. The Surgeon General reports that tobacco advertising at the point of sale is directly linked to the initiation of youth tobacco use. The CDC reports that 18.1 percent of youth in the U.S continue to smoke. Tobacco products need to be made less desirable, affordable and acceptable to help reduce youth tobacco rates.

Enough is enough. A message doctors need to continue to deliver. Smoking, more than any other behavior, leads to chronic disease and death. If doctors could only do ONE thing for the health of their patients who smoke, talking to them about quitting at every visit would be at the top of the list. It has been well documented that repeatedly offering short, basic counseling, plus, medication to ease withdrawal increases the likelihood of a

CVS lauded To the Times of Ti: I was very excited to wake up this morning and hear the news that CVS made the decision to stop selling tobacco. Just think, there will be 7,600 more pharmacies in the United States that are tobacco-free pharmacies. CVS is setting a powerful precedent that a pharmacy should be promoting the health and wellbeing of its clients consistently throughout their store. Tobacco-related illnesses are the number one cause of death in the United States.

Think about it, you go to buy nicotine patches at a pharmacy

Times of Ti - 7 successful quit attempt.

And what is not enough. New York funds tobacco control programs (like ours) at exceedingly low levels. The Surgeon GeneralÕ s report stresses the continued success and importance of tobacco control programs which help implement proven policies and techniques to prevent and to treat tobacco use. Furthermore, the latest (2014) CDC recommendation is that New York fund the State Bureau of Tobacco Control (BTC) at a MINIMUM of $143 million per year. In 2013 New York State funded the BTC at $40 million. That is a fraction of the CDC recommendation and a barely noticeable dent in the $2 billion in revenue New York receives from tobacco every year.

After 50 years of education and policy change, itÕ s time we collectively put our foot down and make the next generation Tobacco Free. This is not solely a personal issue, nor is it solely up to health care professionals, or tobacco control programs, or government. It will take a commitment from everyone to create a generation free of tobacco. A commitment from those who want to quit and the rest of us to help them in every way possible; a commitment to protect each other by keeping smoke out of public spaces; and a commitment to protect our children so that they will not feel the pull of tobacco marketing in their daily lives.

to help you quell your tobacco addiction and they are behind the counter right next to the cigarettes. Without tobacco products behind the counter those trying to quit will no longer have to face a trigger to make a tobacco impulse purchase. Also, kids who shop with parents will no longer see tobacco imagery and marketing that makes smoking look cool and not as dangerous. For every one person who dies from a tobacco related illness two people must replace them for the tobacco industry to stay profitable and 90% of new smokers are under the age of 18. There have been studies that show that kids who shop regularly at stores with tobacco advertising have an increased chance of starting to smoke.

Thanks to CVS more kids will be tobacco free because they wonÕ t be exposed to tobacco marketing.

For decades, tobacco control and health advocates have been fighting the tobacco industry diligently and that work is paying off. Over the past 50 years we have whittled away at the ways in which the tobacco industry markets, especially how they market to kids. If kids start using tobacco they will not have to quit, they wonÕ t have to deal with the struggle with nicotine addiction. That means we will have less adult smokers and we will see a decrease in state and federal spending on tobacco related illnesses in our health care costs.

IÕ m happy that CVS has become a health care champion by taking a stand that they will no longer sell the poison and the antidote too.

Ticonderoga home destroyed by fire Red Cross aids family of six TICONDEROGA Ñ A Ticonderoga home was destroyed by fire, displacing a family of six, Feb. 3.

Ticonderoga firefighters responded to the blaze at 45 Burgoyne Road at 9:22 p.m. Ò Upon the arrival of myself and Ticonderoga police there was fire coming out a window on the first floor on the north side of the house and black smoke coming from the eves,Ó Matt Watts, Ti FD first assistant chief, said. “We were told there is a family of six that live there and that they are usually home at that time of day.

We opened the front door and checked for occupants, however, in less than a minute a large fire ball fully engulfed the whole house in flames.”

The house is owned by Lura Fuller and occupied by her grandson Kendell Mclaughlin and his family, Watts said. No one was at home at the time of the fire.

Watts said the house is a total loss. No injuries were reported.

About 40 Ti firefighters responded along with the departmentÕ s three engines, its aerial truck and its rescue truck.

Also on the scene were the Ticonderoga Emergency Squad, Ticonderoga Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, Ticonderoga Police Department, Ticonderoga Highway Department, National Grid and the Essex County Office of Emergency Services fire investigation team.

Crown Point Fire Department and Essex County Air One provided mutual aid. Putnam Fire Department stood by in Ti fire station.

The cause is still under investigation.

Volunteers from the Adirondack Saratoga Chapter of the American Red Cross Northeastern New York provided assistance to a family. The two adults and four children were provided with food, clothing, shoes, seasonal garments and storage.

Zoey St. Gelais, Anisha Belden and Anna Anderson have fun in the Moriah Central School gym. The school allows the town to use its facilities for youth programs as part of a shared services agreement.

Port Henry From page 1 lot, provides security at Linney Field during athletic events, disposes of sewage from the school and is now working with the school on a joint playground project at Linney Field. The town has also given the school its old police car to be used in driverÕ s education classes.

The school provides transportation, cafeteria services and athletic fields for the town youth program, opens its pool for recreational activities, allows use of the school as an emergency shelter and allows town personnel to use its distance learning lab for training sessions.

Larrow said the town and school district also share equipment and manpower when the need arises.

The local municipalities also work closely with Essex County. Scozzafava said. The town, village and county share in waste disposal at the trash transfer site, highway repairs and maintenance, bridge work and more, he said. Ò ThereÕ s a lot we do,Ó Scozzafava said, Ò and IÕ m sure thereÕ s more we can do.Ó Another possible shared service is the consolidation of Moriah’s three separate fire departments and fire protection district. Ò In my opinion, thatÕ s the biggest thing we could do, right now,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò WeÕ ve discussed this before and itÕ s gone no where, but at some point we have to sit down and talk about consolidating fire departments.”

Moriah now has three fire companies — Port Henry, Moriah and Mineville-Witherbee — along with a fire protection district.

At this point the governorÕ s proposal only applies to shared services going forward. The town, village and school wonÕ t get credit for decades of past cooperation.

The supervisor said he is talking to state representatives about getting credit for shared services already in place. Ò The town, village and school have been doing what the governor wants for years,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò It seems to me we should be recognized for what weÕ ve already done.Ó

Charges dropped against Crown Point justice Miclette to return Feb. 13

By Seth Lang

seth@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ Charges have been dropped in the stolen property case involving Crown Point town justice Arthur S. Miclette.

Miclette, 59, of Crown Point was arrested back in October on a misdemeanor charge of fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.

Tools belonging to Champlain Valley Technical Educational Center in Mineville were

found at Miclettes automobile-repair business

by State Police via Search Warrant. Miclette, who had been an auto mechanics instructor at the CVTECH facility before retiring last spring, said he planned on returning the items but hadnÕ t gotten to it.

The case was turned over to the Washington County DA due to a conflict of interest in Essex County and all charges have been dropped.

MicletteÕ s Attorney Joseph Brennan declined to comment on the case.

Miclette however, didnÕ t seem surprised that the charges had been dropped and the fact that heÕ d be back serving as justice.

Miclette, who stepped down until the case was resolved, said it was a misunderstanding and that a disgruntled employee most likely reported the tools he borrowed from the educational facility. Ò IÕ m happy IÕ ll be back serving our town again,Ó said Miclette.

Prior to this incident, Miclette had been censured by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct in 2009 for alleged misconduct that entailed acting on a claim that he himself filed in his own court to collect money owed to his auto mechanic business.

The committee later stated that Miclette had

been very cooperative throughout the proceedings.

Ticonderoga Justice Keith Dolbeck who filled the position in Crown Point until the case was resolved will return to Ticonderoga as a result of MicletteÕ s return.

Reached at his main street business Village Auto on Thursday, Miclette said, Ò I canÕ t say enough about the job Keith Dolbeck did in filling my position while the trial ran its course, heÕ s a stand up guy.Ó Miclette was scheduled to return as town justice Thursday, Feb. 13.

which included members of the ElizabethtownLewis, Willsboro, Essex, Moriah, Crown Point and host Westport chambers. Ò We are trying to bring together the historic and cultural values of the region with placebased tourism,Ó Kennedy said. Ò This app will link everything together and tell the story this region has to offer.Ó Kennedy said the app will offer thematic itineraries and interactive features like scavenger hunts, geocaching and suggestions when a tourist is seeking a place to eat or stay while on their journey through the Champlain basin. Ò This is designed to be consumed over a two or three day period of time so people will stay, and that is what generates the real tourism dollars,Ó Kennedy said.

Part of the programing will include audio

narration that is being written by Lindsay Pontius. Ò We want something that is interactive and entertaining and Lindsay is scripting these for us,Ó Kennedy said. Ò This is really going to bring the experience to life.Ó Kennedy said that the app will also allow those using it to dig deeper into a certain topic or theme. Ò As you get deeper into a subject, the content will become more academic,Ó she said.

The app is being designed by a firm out of Chicago, and officials are hopeful to start testing the product within the next month. Ò They have assured us that this will be ready for the spring,Ó Kennedy said.

Olmstedville boy selected for national conference Schroon Lake student going to Washington, D.C.

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ A Schroon Lake student has been selected to attend a leadership conference in Washington, D.C. Derrick Loiselle, a sixth grade student, will take part in the Junior National Young Leaders Conference: Foundations of Leadership program in the nationÕ s capital this summer.

He is the son of Natalie Royer-Loiselle of Olmstedville and the late Eric Loiselle.

The conference will provide a historical view of leadership and encourage students to develop their own leadership skills and strategies for success.

Loiselle was selected for the program after being recommended by his teacher, Deb Shrilling. Ò Derrick has leadership qualities which I see when he kindly helps others in the classroom and he is self-motivated,Ó Shrilling said. Ò He wants to do the best job he can, and he does, with little prompting from me. He is respon-

sible and organized, and academically, he does well. Finally, he has very good interpersonal skills, all qualities which make great leaders.Ó The six-day conference will include students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades from around the nation. It will feature workshops and simulations of challenges faced by historic leaders from the nationÕ s past. Students will also explore historically significant sites such as Harpers Ferry National Park, the National Mall, museums, monuments and memorials. Ò The Junior National Young Leaders Conference enables students to recognize their own leadership abilities in the context of great men and women from the past and present,Ó said Marguerite Regan, Ph.D., the dean of academic affairs for JrNYLC. Ò They return home with new confidence in their ability to make a positive impact in their school and communities.

Washington, D.C., serves as the perfect backdrop for this inspiring program to generate a new generation of U.S. leaders.Ó The conference will include discussions of the Civil War Reconstruction, World War II, the Great Depression and the Civil Rights Movement as examples of leadership. Ò The students gain greater sense of themselves, their roles to preserve American democ-

racy and their responsibilities as tomorrowÕ s leaders,Ó Regan said.

Loiselle is a typical sixth grade student. Ò For sports, I play soccer, baseball and basketball with the school,Ó he said. Ò In the wintertime, I go to Gore Mountain and snowboard. In the summer, I like swimming. I have made the high honors list and I will be, for the first time ever, acting in the school play called Ô Peter Pan.Õ Ò I was nominated to go to Washington, D.C., for this conference by my teacher Ms. Schillings,Ó Loiselle said. Ò I am good at physical education, ELA (English language arts), math, music. For an instrument, I play the alto saxophone. I look forward to experience going to the conference and I look forward to meeting other people from the USA.Ó For more information about the Junior National Young Leaders Conference go online at visit www.envisionexperience.com/Leadership.

Derrick Loiselle, a Schroon Lake Central School student, will take part in the Junior National Young Leaders Conference: Foundations of Leadership program in the nation’s capital this summer. Loiselle was selected for the program after being recommended by his teacher, Deb Shrilling.

TICONDEROGA Ñ A pair of local Boy Scouts earned scoutingÕ s highest rank in 2013.

Roger J. Sawyer III of Troop 72 in Ticonderoga and Joe Foote of Schroon Lake Troop 37 reached the milestone of Eagle Scout last year.

Another scout, Matt Cook of TiÕ s Troop 72, is on the verge of becoming an Eagle Scout. Cook needs to finish his Eagle project this spring to become eligible.

Sawyer earned 22 merit badges. He has also been involved with the First United Methodist church and worked with the church on his Eagle Scout Project.

Foote is the current chief of the Wakpominee chapter of the Order of the Arrow, scoutingÕ s National Honor Society. He attended the 2010 National Scout Jamboree at Fort AP Hill in Virginia and the 2012 National Order of the Arrow Conference that was held at Michigan State University. His Eagle project was to put thermoplastic grave markers and American flags at veterans graves throughout 10 cemeteries in Schroon Lake and North Hudson.

Cook is constructing a new picnic pavilion at the Ticonderoga beach as his Eagle project.

The project was stalled by winter weather as it neared completion.

Fewer than 4 percent of all scouts earn the Eagle rank.

Ticonderoga Boy Scout Troop 72 is led by Scoutmaster Mike Moser. Interested people can call Moser at 585-6735.

The Ticonderoga Cub Scout program disbanded last year. Ti Cub Scouts are now members of Hague Cub Scout Pack 73.

Hague also has Boy Scout Troop 73, chartered by the Hague Fish and Game Club.

Corinna Woods serves as both the scoutmaster and cubmaster.

Woods can be reached at 585-7895.

Boy Scout Troop 37 of Schroon Lake meets every Thursday at the Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club at 7 p.m. on Hoffman Road. Interested people can contact Scoutmaster Joe Foote at 532-9258 for information.

In Crown Point Troop 70 has a long history, producing a large number of Eagle Scouts in a small community. It is led by Scoutmaster Steve Mildon.

More than a century after its founding Boy Scouting remains popular with area youth.

There are Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts in Ticonderoga, Schroon Lake, Crown Point, Moriah and Hague.

All belong to the Twin Rivers Council, which serves 13 counties in northeastern New York including Albany, Clinton, Columbia, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren and Washington counties. The Council provides service to more than 11,000 youth and 6,000 registered adult volunteers.

Cub Scouting is a year-round family program designed for boys who are about 7-10 years old. Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting.

Boy Scouts is available to boys ages 11-18. The program achieves the BSAÕ s objectives of developing character, citizenship and personal fitness.

Eagle Scout Joe Foote believes in Boy Scouts. Ò Scouting instills morals and values in you that you otherwise could not get,Ó Foote said. Ò It teaches you many things like leadership, dedication, helpfulness and many other things that are lacking in our world today. Ò My scouting experience over the years has taught me many things, such as first aid, lifesaving, cooking and countless other skills that will stay with me for my entire life,Ó Foote said. Ò The leadership, outdoor and other training that I have received over the years is something that I will always remember and hope to give to others someday.Ó

Take a road trip!

T

Lost, and never found

His name was Douglas, but I expect he was also known as Doug or Dougie by his parents, relatives and grandparents.

From all reports, he was an active boy who liked to hike, fish and explore the big woods surrounding his grandparentÕ s vast Adirondack estate.

Great Camp Santanoni, which was originally built for the Pruyn family of Syracuse, NY, is located over five miles distant from the nearest public highway. It is set in the heart of what was once a private 13,000 acre parcel of Adirondack wilderness near the town of Newcomb.

The entire property is now owned by the State of New York and encompassed within the Camp Santanoni Historic District.

Before it became state property, the Pruyn family sold the property in 1953 to the Melvin brothers of Syracuse. Mae Melvin Legg was the daughter of Myron Melvin who had owned the property with his brother.

Her son, Douglas was a typical eight year old, third grader.

ItÕ s likely he was inquisitive, impulsive and rambunctious.

Reportedly, he was comfortable in the woods and enjoyed hiking in the surrounding High Peaks. By the age of eight, he had already climbed Mt. Marcy.

He had a private, wilderness park for his playground and he shared it with other family members.

It was a hot July day when I first heard news that the young boy had apparently vanished from his GrandparentÕ s estate near Newcomb.

I was a teenager at the time, and worked during the summer on a Trail Crew with the old Conservation Department.

The crew had been busy clearing brush from a trail along the backside of Hurricane Mountain when our Trail Boss called us in for lunch.

He told us a child was missing near Newcomb, and mentioned that search parties were being formed.

According to reports, the boyÕ s Uncle had instructed the youngster to return to the Main Lodge in order to change into a pair of long pants for their hike.

When the boy didnÕ t return, a party went looking for him. He was familiar with the landscape, and the trail to the Main Lodge was easy to follow. It was a mystery Soon, an extensive search was launched as rumors and theories were raised. Despite the various theories, nothing has ever been proven and no remains of Douglas Legg have ever been found.

The incident occurred during the summer of 1971. Despite the war in Vietnam and the associated discord going on across the country, it was still an innocent time.

Kids were allowed to roam far and wide, and hitchhiking was common, especially if you didnÕ t own a bike.

WeÕ d leave the house in the morning, with a reminder to be home for dinner or before dark, whichever was sooner.

Terms such as Amber Alerts, and child abduction were unheard of.

At the time, there were no GPS tracking devices, or cell phones. The only known form of portable communication was a transistor radio.

Mostly everyone expected the youngster would be found promptly, but the search for Douglas Legg continued for over two months, and included over 600 volunteers, Forest Rangers and State Troopers.

Helicopters were brought in, as well as bloodhounds and even psychics. However, no trace of the young boy was ever found, and the case remains open to this day.

Several months after the search for Douglas Legg was discontinued, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller instructed the Conservation Department to establish formalized search and rescue standards.

The search and rescue techniques were developed and eventually standardized as key component of curriculum at the NYS Ranger Academy.

A lot has changed since those day, but NYS Forest Rangers continue to respond to reports of hikers, hunters or other individuals who are disoriented, lost or injured.

Annually, there are over 300 reports from parties that are lost, injured or require assistance.

Many lost travelers speak of the euphoria of seeing a Forest Ranger striding down the trail towards them.

As one rescued winter camper explained to me, Ò Santa came early this year, and he was wearing a green uniform!Ó In the early 1980Õ s, a number of volunteer Search and Rescue teams were formed in the Adirondacks, to assist State Forest Rangers with search and rescue efforts.

Team members are now trained in search management, national incident command system (ICS), map and compass, search techniques and the use of global positioning system (GPS) units.

Currently, over a dozen teams from the NYS Federation of Search and Rescue are operating in the Adirondacks.

SAR is a nationally recognized, not-for-profit organization consisting of independent Search and Rescue teams that make themselves available to any official agency to assist in searches for lost or missing persons in New York State and throughout the Northeast.

With an ever growing interest in extreme adventures, ranging from ice climbing to extreme skiing, the services of Search and Rescue volunteers will continue to be in demand.

We seek adventure when we travel to wild, forbidding places in an effort to discover a piece of ourselves.

By accepting the challenge of traveling through tough terrain, we find an opportunity to cope with adversity, test our skills and strengthen our resolve.

The prospect of becoming lost has long been a key fixture in the passionate pursuit of adventure travel. If there were no probabilities of risk and challenge, it wouldnÕ t be so thrilling, so revitalizing. We seek these challenges because we are enlivened by the prospect of danger.

In exploring the outdoors, we want to believe we are the first ones to summit a particular peak or to locate an otherwise, hidden route despite the presence of any Ô herd trailsÕ that may indicate otherwise.

We go there to be as far removed from civilization as possible.

Primitive circumstances bring out primal traits in our character, which are what we all strive to recapture.

We travel to wild places in an effort to restore or recover the wildness that we all believe remains within.

This is the reason the contrail of a passing jet is never as intrusive when viewed from a city street, as it is when witnessed from deep within the woods.

It is also why just a bit of litter, as simple as a gum wrapper is so offensive and disturbing when it is found in the woods. Such signs of civilization serve to tame the outdoor experience and diminish the quality of our adventures by reconnecting us with the civilized world.

Remember, a measure of the true adventurer is not determined by their ability to survive unfortunate incidents; but rather in their knowledge, and ability to avoid getting involved in such predicaments.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

The unique architecture of the Gatehouse at Great Camp Santanoni offers just a hint of the fabulous sturctures that remain on the property.

here is a strong interest in having a listing of up-coming agriculture, forestry, sportsman and conservation events. So, I am going to try and get a road trip events list out at least once a month.

Safe Act Rally

Conservation

Steve Aldstadt, (SCOPE) has confirmed that April 1, 2014 is the date set for the

By Rich Redman anti-safe act rally in Albany.

That gives everyone 2 months to plan transportation and ask for time off. The down-state legislators now know we carry a lot more clout than previously thought. Even people in the governor’s office are beginning to see that the underhanded passage of the so called Safe Act was a huge mistake.

There are 6 million gun owners in New York.

Conversations

Hunting and Fishing

According to Dick Johndrow, the Essex County Fish & Game League Secretary, the Essex County Fish & Game League will hold its next meeting Feb. 12. The League meet will be held at the Halfway House in Elizabethtown.

Owens plays role in bill to aid local farmers

CHIMNEY SWEEP

Senate was a program designed to stabilize milk prices.

Farmers are paid for their milk through a complicated, regionally based system called the Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO.) This system was initially developed to price milk based on demand, but because price triggers were not transparent to the average producer, and prices were announced on a month delay, farmers were unable to respond to the market and it became extremely volatile in both production and income to farmers.

For example, milk is sold by the one-hundred weight. Farmers pay for the cost of production which may be $20 per one-hundred weight, but have had no control over the sale price of, say, $19 per one-hundred weight. The new bill offers insurance to cover that margin.

Leerkes said, Ò The problem with milk, unlike soda, you canÕ t stop making it. If thereÕ s 1 percent too much milk nationally, the price will dip 10 percent to the farm. Ò In the long run the bill is good for dairy and the budget,Ó said Leerkes.

William Gunnison, co-owner of Gunnison Orchard in Crown Point, also said getting the bill passed is positive for local growers. Ò Improved crop insurance offered in the bill will help improve our operation,Ó said Gunnison. “This bill will give us five years to concentrate on our growing without the unsettled worry about whatÕ s around the corner.Ó

Gunnison is the resident of the New York State Horticulture Society and the vice chairman of the New York Apple Association and has been to Washington, D.C. lobbying for this bill over past years. Ò The apple export provision is a huge step in the right direction in regards to getting fruit into Canada,Ó said Gunnison. Ò In the past, growers havenÕ t been able to get fruit into Canada unless the country runs out of their own fruits.Ó The Farm Bill combines an overhaul of the nationÕ s agricultural commodity programs with reforms that will produce an estimated $23 billion in 10-year savings.

TICONDEROGA Ñ Things could get easier for New York State farmers after President Obama signed the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management (FARRM) Act into law Friday, Feb. 7th.

ItÕ s been two years since the expiration of the last farm bill, far too long, according to Rep. Bill Owens.

Essex County Farm Bureau President Erik Leerkes said the new farm bill willaffect his family operated farm in Ticonderoga with more than 180 dairy cows. Ò Overall, the bill is a good compromise. ItÕ s not as beneficial as the proposed program, but better than what we had. At this point but weÕ re happy to get anything,Ó said Leerkes. Ò Farmers arenÕ t looking for a hand out, they work hard every day, more than 70 hours per week,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s important for us as a country to support its own agriculture.Ó Three provisions added by Owens that were designed to have local impactrelate to apple exports, farm credit and maple promotion.

The Owens provision aimed at apple exports is designed to streamline U.S. apple exports to Canada by exempting bulk shipments of apples from inspection under the Apple Export Act. According to the New York Apple Associa-

tion, the elimination of the required inspection will immediately offer a savings to growers of approximately $300 per truck load. Additionally, removing this regulation will allow apple growers to distribute their products on their own schedule without working around costly after-hours inspections procedures, providing them the opportunity to save money and streamline operations.

The second Owens provision will expand the range of business structures that qualify for loans and loan guarantees through the Farm Service Agency (FSA). Increasingly common structures that do not currently qualify for loans through the FSA include family trusts when family farms divide into a farm ownership LLC or farm operating LLC to facilitate ownership by multiple family members, as well as farms operating with an Ò embedded entity structure.Ó An embedded entity occurs when one entity is owned wholly or partly by another entity.

The final provision drafted by Owens and Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT) is aimed to promote activities related to maple production. This includes maple syrup operations, natural resource sustainability for the maple syrup industry, promotion of maple products and increased access to land for maple-sugaring activities. Ò Family farmers help strengthen New YorkÕ s economy,Ó said Owens.

One of the major sticking points in the final days of negotiations between the House and
