Miller Orchestra in May and also had the Count Basie Orchestra that October. Both events were fund raisers for the Moriah Central School Music Department. This concert will also be a fund raiser as our music students will be having a bake sale throughout the evening.

“After the success of the first two concerts, I was constantly being asked what band would be coming next,” he said. Ò To save on the expenses of hosting such high quality bands, I started

looking at hosting one of the militaryÕ s bands. A couple of years ago our auditorium was renovated with professional lighting and I thought it would be nice to have another world-class performance group on our stage. I contacted the office of the U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors a few years ago, and they mentioned that when they toured next in our area, they would contact me again.”

By Fred Herbst TICONDEROGA Ñ L‡ FhŽ ile Ph‡ draig shona duit.

For those who donÕ t speak Gaelic, it means Happy St. PatrickÕ s Day Ñ a greeting certain to be heard many times at the Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus in coming days. Those who are Irish, and those who wish they were, will have two opportunities to celebrate St. PatrickÕ s Day this year.

The Knights will host their annual Irishman of the Year dinner and roast Saturday, March 15.

The Irishman of the Year, a local resident, is selected by a Knights of Columbus committee.

A corned beef dinner will be served at 6 p.m. and the Irishman of the Year, a closely-guarded secret, will be honored Ñ or roasted Ñ at 7 p.m.

Tickets, priced at $12, will be available at the door. Tickets can also be purchased in advance by calling the Knights of Columbus at 585-6520. The event is open to the public.

Jim Guyette was the 2013 Irishman of the Year. John Lenhart was the 2012 Irishman of the Year. Dick Liddell was the 2011 Irishman of the Year. Ò It seems to get more and more difficult to keep it a secret,” Knight Ralph Corbo said of the Irishman of the Year award. Ò Everyone wants to know who it will be. TheyÕ ll just have to come to the dinner.”

Fort Ti to host living history weekend Events planned March 15-16

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Visitors will have an opportunity to travel back in time to March 1776 during a living history event at Fort Ticonderoga.

“Ordered to Join the Northern Army in Canada” will be held Saturday and Sunday, March 15-16, at the fortress 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 As Fort Ticonderoga begins to tell the epic story of 1776 during the 2014 season, guests to this living history event are asked to join the reinforcements headed for northern forts and Canada and face this military crisis with them,” Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga president and CEO, said. “Stand inside the parade of the fort as New York soldiers, re-enlisted veterans from 1775 and new recruits, drill to defend this vital link in the supply chain. Hear leather heels strike the ground as they march in step.

“Thrill at the crack of their firelocks as they fire volleys,” she said. “Watch the carpenters hard at work as they turn logs and lumber into crates, sleds, and beams. Explore Fort Ticonderoga as it comes to life with the struggle to keep an American army alive in March of 1776.”

There will be a number of special events and activities during the weekend. Ò For the freezing, sick and starving American soldiers living in houses and barns outside the walls of Quebec in early 1776, hope lay just to the south at Fort Ticonderoga, an old French fort on Lake Champlain,” Stuart Lilie, Fort Ticonderoga director of interpretation said. “The lives of American soldiers and the campaign to capture Canada were in jeopardy. Unlike the persistent snow and ice in Canada, the Continental ArmyÕ s solders were melting away from disease, injury and expiring enlistments. Ò In the depth of the winter teams of oxen and horses dragged sleds on frozen rivers and lakes along the chain of forts from Albany all the way to Quebec,” he said. “Filled with food, winter clothing, and medicine, the contents of each sled were vital to keep the remaining American soldiers alive. Warm weather and cracking ice threatened to shatter the Army.”

The weekend schedule includes: Ñ guided tours of the fort at 10:15 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 3 p.m.; Ñ musket demonstrations at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.; Ñ a demonstration as carpenters hew down logs to build another sled to keep the train of supplies rolling into Canada at noon; Ñ the harvest of logs to supply the fort at 2:30 p.m. Hiking boots are recommended; — the Continental Store on the ground floor of the Officers Barracks will be open all day. A hardware store, a fabric store, a supermarket and more. Packed in the barracks, bastions and casemates, people can see the magazine of Continental army supplies kept at Fort Ticonderoga.

— the Tailor’s Shop on the second floor of the Officers Barracks will be open all day. Visitors will be able to pick up a needle and thread and help sew mattresses for soldiers; — the Soldier’s Quarters on the ground floor of the Soldiers Barracks will be open all day; — the Officer’s Quarters located on the ground floor of the Officer’s Barracks will be available throughout the day; — the exhibit “It Would Make a Heart of Stone Melt” will be open 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; and — the “Pork, Pigeon, & Pottery” exhibit will be available on the ground floor of the Soldiers Barracks. It features original artifacts recovered from the ruins of Fort Ticonderoga.

Former Ti exchange student fights for Ukraine Asan Kenzhametov protesting Russian take over

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ A former Ticonderoga High School exchange student is among those fighting for Ukrainian sovereignty.

Asan Kenzhametov attended Ti High during the 2000-2001 academic year as an exchange student from Ukraine. He lived with the Arzberger family on Lake George Avenue.

HeÕ s now active in his countryÕ s efforts to repel Russian involvement in his native land. Russia has taken control of UkraineÕ s Crimean peninsula, prompting international condemnation. Ò Friends! I ask everybody to take a minute aside and pray for Crimea in Ukraine and peace in Ukraine!,” Kenzhametov posted on Facebook. Ò IÕ m here in Crimea, Ukraine. And, unlike before, thereÕ s a smell of war in the air thatÕ s becoming more and more vivid... Dear sweet friends, this war has all chances to go global and effect all of us. What can ordinary people like us do to influence the situation? PRAYER is the best.”

Kenzhametov also posted several photos of himself and others protesting against the Russian incursion.

Kenzhametov didnÕ t seem particularly interested in politics while in Ticonderoga, said Steve Arzberger, who hosted him.

“He was a quiet kid, a good guy,” Arzberger said. “He liked living here. At the end he wanted to stay in the U.S., but that wasn’t part of the program. He was very bright.”

After pro-Western protesters forced the pro-Russian government out of office earlier this month, the Russian military moved into UkraineÕ s Crimean peninsula. The peninsula is RussiaÕ s primary access to the Black Sea and home to Russian naval forces.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin claims the majority of Crimean residents favor becoming part of Russia. Putin supports a March 16 public referendum planned by CrimeaÕ s regional assembly on splitting from Ukraine and joining Russia.

Kenzhametov believes that vote is a sham. Ò Latest facts indicate that over the last days thousands of citizens of Russia have come to Crimea Ô to workÕ (some of them sincerely) by going around the city centers and waving flags of Russia and organizing provocations, and the main goal of all of this is to create an image of Crimea ‘begging to join Russia’...”

Kenzhametov said via Facebook. “While polls in January 2014 indicated that 41 percent of Crimeans were in favour of joining Russia. Now that percentage has decreased because many were disgusted by the amount of lies and falsehood by Russian side and the military occupation of Crimea.

A former Ticonderoga High School exchange student is among those fighting for Ukrainian sovereignty. Asan Kenzhametov, third from left, attended Ti High during the 2000-2001 academic year as an exchange student from Ukraine.

Ò Putin has organized a big theater play in Crimea, donÕ t believe the liar!,” he said. “Crimea is a part of the free democratic UKRAINE forever!”

Leaders of Ukraine have vowed not to cede any part of their nationÕ s territory to Russia.

Pro-Russian forces tightened their grip on Crimea by laying siege to the last military airfield under Ukrainian control there this week and trying to seize control of other military installations in the strategically important region, a Ukrainian defense

spokesman said. Residents proclaimed their loyalty to Ukraine or Russia in competing rallies, which produced some scuffles.

In Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, thousands of people clutching blue-and-yellow national flags poured onto the streets to mark the bicentennial of the birth of Taras Shevchenko, their countryÕ s most famous poet and an ardent nationalist. Laying flowers at a statue of Shevchenko, acting Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk declared that he would not give up Ò one centimeter of Ukrainian land.”

Ti elementary play to focus on bullying Performance March 22

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga Elementary School students will present a play with a message.

More than 50 students will take part in “Hugo the Hero.” The play will be performed Saturday, March 22, at 7 p.m. Ò ItÕ s the story of a boy with a strange name who moves to a new school,” Wayne Chagnon, a music teacher and play director, said. Ò He has to deal with some bullying until other students learn to help him and adopt him as one of their own.”

The play is part of the schoolÕ s character education program, Chagnon said.

For the first time ever, the annual play will be

performed on a Saturday.

“We pride ourselves on presenting a familyfriendly evening of entertainment,” Chagnon said. “It’s been very popular in the past. We thought we may be able to make it easier for people to attend by holding it on a Saturday. Ò The kids have worked very hard and are taking it very seriously,” he said. “I think we’ll have a great show.”

Aidan Porter will play Hugo. Zach LaBarge will be the bully. Kaelee Kristensen will portray Daisy and Madison Fish will be Mrs. Applebee.

Also taking part in the production will be Ruthie Cole, Maciey Dorsett, Grace Harker, Yarr Tyler, Brooke Bennett, Anna Maneri, Olivia Powers, Lizzy Rich, Conner Rafferty; Merecedes Connors, Alex Fingland, Laura Grinnell, Jacob Jordan, Stevie Montville, Haily Reed, Rayea Decker, Monty Benedict, Riley Dinsmore, Jade Frasier, Ashton Gilbert, Colby

Ti Kiwanis BackPack program expands United Way assists effort

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ More than 100 Ticonderoga students have access to nutritious food during weekends thanks to the communityÕ s BackPack program.

Sponsored by the Ticonderoga Kiwanis, the program provides backpacks filled with nutritious, easily-prepared foods to eligible students every weekend during the school year. During the week students have access to federaly-funded breakfast and lunch programs.

The program now serves 120 children at four schools, according to John Bartlett, Kiwanis BackPack coordinator. Ò The additional nutrition is designed to help these students eat healthy over the weekend and be better prepared for their classes and other educational opportunities Monday through Friday,” Bartlett said.

Helping Kiwanis with the program is the United Way of the Adirondack Region.

“The United Way board awarded a Seed Money grant to the BackPack program just before Christmas, which was a huge help in meeting the high priority needs of the program,” Bartlett said.

“In addition, in January the United Way also awarded a MLK National Day of Service grant in support of the program.

“We are extremely grateful to the United Way for their support of this very important program and would like to especially thank John Bernardi and Kathy Snow for their assistance,” Bartlett said.

The United Way of the Adirondack Region provides support to more than 30 partner agencies which provide service and assistance throughout the North Country.

“This support and sponsorship from the United Way has been

a big help in keeping the program growing to support more and more eligible children and their families,” Bartlett said. “Beginning Jan. 30, the program expanded from serving 90 students to providing 120 backpacks each weekend. The program has also grown from one to four schools.”

The cost to sponsor one child for an entire school year is only $167, Bartlett said.

“Donations to this very worthy cause are tax-deductible,” he said. Ò All of the donations received are used to purchase the food for the program from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern

New York, which provides the food at a much more affordable cost than other sources.”

For more information people can contact Bartlett at jbartlett1@ nycap.rr.com.

The Kiwanis Club of Ticonderoga is an all-volunteer community service organization that supports a variety of community initiatives with its number one priority being young children.

Through its various projects and support for other community organizations, Kiwanis strives Ò to help make a difference in our communities.”

The Ticonderoga High School Future Business Leaders of America participated in the FBLA spring district meeting. Taking part were Katelyn Troche, Ty Denno, Mark Donohue, Natasha LaFrance, Cassidy McKee, Coleman Granger, Georgette Fazioli, Makalya Holt, Alex Mosier, Jacob Young, Cody Huestis, Matt Cook, Jarrod Reed, Cassie Martucci, Jarryn Granger, Zeshan Afzal and Domanic Banish.

Strange start to race for Congress

B

y now, you may be aware of Aaron Woolf. He’s the guy running for Congress to replace outgoing U.S. Rep. Bill Owens, a fellow Democrat.

Owens was elected in 2009 to represent the 21st District in a contentious election that drew national media coverage.

If you have heard of Woolf, it’s not because he has engaged voters and generated name recognition since his selection by local Democratic chiefs in mid-February, but rather because the media is sounding off that they havenÕ t had a chance to speak with the candidate.

He hasn’t made any official appearances, given any interviews or publicly engaged with voters.

Editorial boards across the district have been bashing him for his perceived lack of transparency surrounding his nascent campaign.

Democrats, most of whom are unwilling to go on the record, appear to be unified in their talking points making statements like: “Woolf needs time to prepare. Mr. Woolf is carefully studying the issues and meeting with voters across the North Country. Ò Aaron will be ready to meet with the media soon,” they say. “Not now. But just you wait — you’re going to love him.”

Republicans, for their part, appear to be exuberant in hammering what they perceive to be an out-of-touch carpetbagger, relishing in flogging the candidate whenever he ventures out into the open and is subsequently smacked down with questions about his candidacy.

Both sides need to change tactics.

HereÕ s some advice for the Democrats: This isnÕ t House of Cards, the popular Netflix drama about a scheming Washington politico, but rather a sweeping and expansive district of hard-working, blue collar folks who just want to earn an honest keep. So your silence in explaining how you selected Woolf as a candidate isnÕ t doing you any favors and your pseudo palace intrigue makes you look amateurish.

Grow up and be transparent. How are you going to help voters in the North Country?

Arm your local committee chairs with policy positions instead of tongue-tied gibberish. And then when your candidate is ready to speak, he can put his best foot forward and the press can pepper him with questions based on your local platform, not amateur missteps that we learned how to avoid in our undergrad poly sci courses.

And to the Republicans: We read you loud and clear on your talking points. However, in-

stead of issuing steady streams of fiery rhetoric that much of the public is immune to, anyway Ñ vacuous bleating against Obamacare, liberals and empty appeals to what some may interpret as archaic interpretations of morality Ñ instead show the public that you are engaged, alert and ready to lead by bringing some fresh ideas to the table.

Use the information vacuum on the other side to create valuable public dialogue so voters know what you plan to do to make their lives better and how you plan on ensuring their best interests on the federal level.

All of that being said, the general public appears to dislike Congress, anyway, which makes this all but an exercise in futility.

According to a Gallup poll released March 10, with the election eight months away, 15 percent of Americans approve of the overall job Congress is doing.

This is slightly better than last monthÕ s 12 percent Ñ golly, have a drink on us Ñ but extends a nearly-steady string of sub-20 percent approval ratings for Congress that started in mid-2011.

Hmm. We’re eviscerating a man for diving into a position in which heÕ ll immediately be thoroughly despised, anyway.

Score one for foresight.

Democratic officials reached out to us on Monday, March 10, to coordinate an open-ended interview with Woolf. We’ll have talked with him by the time you have read this and weÕ ll have a clearer picture as to who this fellow actually is and what heÕ s thinking about.

We have the same questions of why this anointed Democratic candidate as well as Democratic Party leaders have been so unapproachable for more than a month and we hope to soon provide some answers.

But until then, while a victory seems to be a long shot at this juncture given his ineffectual start, the only advice we have to Mr. Woolf if elected is to be prepared for a grueling, thankless job Ñ and more of the type of microscope media scrutiny you are experiencing now.

HereÕ s the bottom line. The issues facing our communities are raw, real and unrelenting and we need a red, white and blue leader to serve our interests regardless of political party Ñ not petty children squabbling over what equates to mere puffs of gas in the wind. There is enough of that going on in Congress already. Ñ

Taxes over-charged To the Times of Ti: Please let me introduce myself, my name is Howard and my wife and I own a summer home in Ticonderoga,. Almost three years ago we received our tax bill, as in past, and as all residents know the taxes have been going up on a regular basis.

I had called the tax assessor Patty Osier and in doing so she explained to me that the taxes were based on your land and home values. She continued to explain that we owned 99 feet on Lake George. I stopped her and said that we owned 66 feet, not 99 feet.

She then looked at her maps and said, Ò Oh, IÕ m sorry. I looked at the map upside down, yes you do have 66 feet and not 99.”

She than corrected the tax papers. I asked if I had been paying all along on 99 feet and she couldnÕ t answer me at that time but would research the issue. She then said that we should have realized and made mention earlier.

If you look at any tax bill there is no mention of how many feet you your being billed for, only the amount of land you own, i.e. one acre and so on. She then explained to me that we need to fill out the proper forms and to submit them to her office for the refund. I did just that and the forms sat there for almost a year,.I had called, wrote letters, even mailed letters to the town supervisor, Nothing!

By now we are very frustrated, not only with the town assessor, town supervisor and the County of Essex. I had contacted anyone that I thought could help, Nothing! This past year with the elections hanging by I mailed letters to every new town board member and the new town supervisor, Nothing!

Now I began to call and eventually got the town supervisor, explained my story to him. He said he would get back to me once he gathered all the facts. He later called me and asked me to mail him the letters I had sent to everyone, which I did. Today Feb. 27, I received a phone call from the town supervisor explaining that the town would not do anything and would not refund the monies in question. He did say that if I wanted to pursue the issue

Times of Ti - 7

Letters to the Editor I would have to do so on my own and go through the courts. I canÕ t believe that the town would not refund the extra monies we paid; weÕ re not asking for anything extra only the amount that was overcharged by their own employee.

We are not a year-round resident. We live three hours away, both work and if we must go to court it would create a hardship for both of us.

I am asking every town property owner to check and double check there tax bill, and if need be call the assessor to make sure your being billed correctly. If anyone wishes to contact me please do so at hgeff20414@aol.com.

Column disappointing To the Times of Ti: Dan AlexanderÕ s column on the Affordable Care Act (ACA, otherwise known as Obamacare) was greatly disappointing. He frequently espouses the viewpoint that politicians need to overcome their ideological differences and work for the good of the people, but he doesnÕ t seem to hold himself to the same standard. Rather than serving as a mouthpiece for right-wing propaganda, he could have provided information that might help people improve their lives. Has this newspaper ever published an article informing its readers of their new options and benefits under the ACA and the steps they need to take to pursue them?

If so, I havenÕ t seen it.

Because New York has its own health exchange, none of us have to deal with the federal website. New YorkÕ s website is http://www.healthbenefitexchange.ny.gov/.

Mr. Alexander claimed that the ACA is taking away our freedom of choice, but when I registered to sign up for a plan I found myself with dozens of options, most of which included all of the local health care

providers I looked up. I was a little overwhelmed with all the choices, but the website provided helpful comparative information, giving me more confidence in my decision than I’ve ever had before when selecting an insurance plan. My monthly premiums are now less than one-tenth of what they were last year.

My monthly prescription costs are 60 percent of what they were when I was on employer-sponsored insurance.

The fact that Mr. Alexander could so cavalierly dismiss the concept that the U.S. health care system needed an overhaul prior to the ACA suggests to me that he has not had to shop for health insurance as an individual, forced to pay whatever the insurance companies decide to charge, without the bargaining power of a corporation or other group to help him.

It suggests to me that he does not have friends or family who have suffered with debilitating disease for years, unwilling to seek the treatment they need because a diagnosis might result in their insurance coverage being canceled and forever denied, there being no penalty for the insurance companiesÕ refusal to cover those who need care the most.

I have had both of those experiences. I have also had employer-sponsored health insurance. Each year the premiums went up and the benefits went down. Mr. Alexander would like us to believe that an example he offered of a rate increase this year is due to the ACA, but the reality is that premiums increased by almost 150 percent in the previous decade (http://kff.org/ health-costs/slide/cumulative-increases-in-health-insurancepremiums-workers-contributions-to-premiums-inflation-andworkers-earnings-1999-2012/).

The deadline to sign up for insurance for 2014 is the end of this month. I encourage anyone who doesnÕ t have health insurance or would like to know if they can get a better deal on their insurance to go to the website. It could improve your health, your bank account and your peace of mind. As long as Obamacare is in effect, no one will ever have to worry again about having a pre-existing condition. That is life-changing.

Ti board decides on water project Gooseneck, Lake George to remain primary water sources

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ TiconderogaÕ s water project will include Gooseneck Pond, Lake George and a recently-completed well.

The town board voted in favor of the plan March 4, directing its engineering firm to design a system that will use water from all three sources. Ò ThereÕ s been a lot of effort and hard work by the town board in a short amount of time to reach this point,” Supervisor Bill Grinnell said. Ò IÕ m proud of the board. This will give Ti good water for the foreseeable future.”

It seemed Ticonderoga was committed to a groundwater project in December, but that changed when Grinnell took office Jan. 1. Grinnell, who made the water project a central part of his campaign for office, asked the town board to reconsider the project in his first meeting.

The board agreed to get a second opinion from Jarrett Engineers of Glens Falls. With that second opinion in hand, the board then met with its engineer, AES Engineers, and hashed out a new plan.

New York State has ordered upgrades and/or new water sources be in place by 2016. Failure to meet the 2016 state 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.

Ticonderoga then began considering an upgrade of the entire water system, utilizing groundwater sources.

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.

The previous town administration said the cost of a groundwater system would be $13.8 million, while the cost of upgrading the Gooseneck and Lake George systems would be $32 million.

Grinnell said the new plan will cost about $13 million and will meet the state-ordered time line.

Ò Gooseneck and Lake George will be the primary sources of water for Ticonderoga.” Grinnell said. “Money has already been spent to establish a well on the Sawyer property (on Streetroad).

ItÕ s unlikely weÕ ll drill another well. The well was a done deal when I came on board, so we’ll take advantage of it.”

New technology, Grinnell said, will allow for cost-effective, improved efficiency at the Baldwin Road filtration plant on Lake George. Ò That technology will give us a supply of Lake George water that is easy to access and is abundant,” Grinnell said.

Water from the new well will be used while work is completed at the Baldwin Road plant, Grinnell explained. Ò Once Baldwin is back online we can renovate the Gooseneck system,” Grinnell said.

Improvements at Gooseneck will include the construction of a tank to store treated water along with replacement of transmission lines.

“When the project is complete Lake George and Gooseneck will be our primary sources of water with the Streetroad well as a back up,” Grinnell said.

The new plan still needs approval from the state Department of Health. Grinnell said he has been in talks with state officials

and doesnÕ t anticipate any problems.

“The plan addresses everything in the DOH order,” the supervisor said. “That order says we need to fix or replace our present system. We’re doing that. We’re going to a more efficient filter system rather than to a different water source.”

Ticonderoga has secured a $6 million grant and a $6 million no-interest loan for the project, Grinnell said.

“We’re continuing to look for grant money,” he said. “It’s a big project, but hopefully we can find ways to reduce the cost as we progress.”

Grinnell hopes the water project can lead to economic opportunity.

“We have excellent water, the kind of water bottling companies and breweries are looking for,” he said. “Surface water is generally softer than ground water. I hope we can attract some water-related business.”

Despite the fact that Ticonderoga is surrounded by water, the town has a long history of insufficient water supply. Since the 1940s, the village and town have faced compliance issues with water quality standards and an aging infrastructure with portions dating back to the 1800s.

The Essex Co. 4-H Youth Development program presented Tractor Supply of Ticonderoga with several awards recently for supporting and raising awareness of the 4-H program. During the 2013 Fall Paper Clover Campaign customers purchased a clover to support the 4-H program. The store raised $946 for 4-H. Among the awards was a special ribbon for Estelle Smit, store manager.

TICONDEROGA Ñ A work readiness credential course will be held March 28 through May 9 at North Country Community College in Ticonderoga. The course leads to the National Work Readiness and National Retail Federation Customer Service Credential.

Individuals seeking employment opportunities will receive instruction in communication skills, courtesy and awareness of customer needs, workplace reading and math, resume writing, online job applications, interview skills and more.

For more information contact Christina at 561-0430 ext. 3088. Ò Ticonderoga currently has necessary ingredients to grow our local economy, including health care, education and industry, including tourism,” Chattie Van Wert, Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance executive director, said. Ò Another critical element is a trained workforce. Given so much of our local economy depends on tourism, it fits that our workforce must be skilled in delivering excellent customer service. Ò Visitors need to be greeted by courteous, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable employees at service stations, restaurants, lodging and retail establishments,” she said. “That is why CVTEC, One-WorkSource, Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance and Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce have worked to bring the six-week National Work Readiness and National Retail Federation Customer Service training to Ticonderoga for a second year. Last spring the program graduated 11 students, most of whom found jobs in the area.”

The National Workforce Readiness Credential course is a nationally-recognized course that prepares employees to be successful in the workplace over the long term and has proven to be valuable to employers in reducing hiring costs and employee turnover, Van Wert said.

Ticonderoga area employers are invited to register their employees for the courses. Either employed or unemployed registrants may qualify for free tuition.

The program starts March 28 with a basic math and reading assessment which everyone must complete on that day. Classes will be held at North Country Community College, Ticonderoga Campus, Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on April 4, April 11, April 25 and May 2. NWRC and Customer Service testing will be conducted May 9 and an employment event the following week.

Inter-Lakes to host chamber mixer March 20 TICONDEROGA Ñ Inter-Lakes Health will host the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, community leaders and the Ticonderoga community fro an After Business Mixer Thursday, March 20, 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Sponsors providing door prizes for the event will be Adirondack Employment Opportunities, Burgoyne Grill, Dunkin Donuts of Ticonderoga and the Wagon Wheel Restaurant.

“We invite Ticonderoga Area Chamber members, businesses, community leaders and the Ticonderoga area community as a whole to attend the event on March 20 at Inter-Lakes Health,” Matthew Courtright, chamber executive director, said. Ò It will be an opportunity to discuss the future of Inter-Lakes Health, hear from the leadership at Inter-Lakes Health and their partners.

This event will be a networking opportunity, but will be much more than your typical mixer. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend this event.”

Inter-Lakes Health recently announced it is eliminating 33 jobs and its CEO, Chip Holmes, is leaving.

Current health care trends are encouraging system oriented health services, Courtright said. Inter-Lakes being affiliated with Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt., since 2011 is well positioned to become a leader in this next generation of care, he said.

“Now is the time for Inter-Lakes to determine its future,” Holmes said. “We are honored to have such supportive partners helping to shape the future of health services in Ticonderoga. Together I am confident we will continue to provide the highest quality care with a financially sustainable model.”

The event will begin in the Crowne Terrace Dining Room. People are asked to enter near the gift shop/cafeteria. Ò The menu for the event will include a variety of stations as you enjoy an evening in the Crowne Terrace Dining Room. We have planned an array of appetizers, desserts and beverages,” Scott Priest, Inter-Lakes culinary service team director, said.

The event menu will include three food stations consisting of cruditŽ and dip, fresh fruit, bruschetta, mini sweet and sour meatballs, mini crab bites with a remoulade sauce, assorted cookies and cupcakes, as well as assorted hot and cold beverages.

At 6 p.m. Courtright will introduce Holmes, who will provide a welcome address and introduce the Inter-Lakes Health Partners from Community Providers Inc. (CPI) the parent company of CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh and Elizabethtown Community Hospital in Elizabethtown and Fletcher Allen Partners (FAP) the parent company to CPI and other facilities such as Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington who together will share important information on the future of Inter-Lakes Health.

He has been around children in the past with no problems; with his calm and friendly nature, he would happily blend right into almost any home. David is very neat and he keeps his beautiful long coat nice and clean. Please stop by and meet David and see for yourself this regal young cat.

New York’s sporting connections G

ov. Andrew Cuomo recently unveiled over four dozen new outdoor access projects that are intended to connect hunters, anglers, bird watchers and other outdoor enthusiasts to an additional 380,000 acres of untapped and underutilized State lands across New York.

The newly opened access points will include more than $6 million in projects to improve access to hunting and fishing, boat launches, and new hiking opportunities. Many of the proposed projects will make the trails and boat launches available to persons with disabilities for the first time.

The new plans are part of the GovernorÕ s NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative, which is intended to boost tourism opportunities throughout the state by improving recreational activities for in-state and out-of-state sportsmen and sportswomen.

Gov. Cuomo also made mention of a new state initiative intended to limit the liability of landowners who permit the public to access their properties for hunting, fishing, hiking and other outdoor recreational pursuits.

It was interesting to note the GovernorÕ s recent announcement also included a proposal to allow hunting with a crossbow again in New York State. While the proposed measure is certain to rile up the bowhunting fraternity again, itÕ s time the devout bowhunters gave up the ghost.

ThereÕ s little doubt crossbows were once a more accurate and much easier hunting tool to use, than longbows.

However, there are very few longbow archers left afield today.

The majority of todayÕ s bow hunters now use compound bows that are just as fast, and every bit as accurate as any crossbow.

The bitterness the crossbow issue has stirred up among NY sportsmen and women only served to divide sportsmen and to embolden anti-hunting advocates. New YorkÕ s sportsmen and women need to work together,not against each other.

The battle over the use of modern technologies in the pursuit of traditional outdoor sports has recently soared to new levels.

The latest options have a reach that is far above the lightweight climbing tree stands or any well placed game cameras.

In fact, the newest hunting tools are drones that are being used to scout game from the air. It seems that some hunters are always looking to the newest technology to provide them with the edge or an unfair advantage over wild animals.

I recall the days when a length of sewing thread strung across a deer run was considered a major advance in scouting technique.

Sure enough, the old Ô string across the trailÕ technique was refined with the addition of a digital clock that recorded the exact time the animal passed by.

When game cameras first came out, they provided an actual photo of “whatever passed this way again”, at least until the film or the batteries ran out.

Game cams with digital technologies soon replaced the old film versions, and the show was on.

TodayÕ s game cams allow hunters to check the size and number of deer feeding on their food plots or walking down the big runway, in real time.

There have been legitimate reservations voiced over the use of game cams that send an instant text message with a digital photo to alert a hunter that Bambi is back.

In New York, as in many other states, it is illegal to use any electronic device (cell phone, walkie-talkie, etc.) to alert other hunters of approaching game.

However, the statute does not cover similar acts of electronic communication that are relayed from a game cam to a cell phone.

The argument revolves around the concept of Fair Chase which is intended to balance the skill and equipment of a hunter with the ability of the prey animal to escape.

Ethical hunters abiding by the fair chase ethic do not employ tactics or techniques that provide them with an unfair advantage over the game animals they seek.

They show respect for other people and wildlife and expect other hunters to do the same. When hunters take unfair advantage of game animals it creates a poor hunter image.

For example, it is ethical to use calls and decoys to lure a Wild Turkey into effective shooting range.

However it is neither fair or legal to shoot a turkey thatÕ s roosting in a tree.

While many hunters readily admit game cameras have revolutionized scouting, especially the type that stream “real-time” images directly to a cellphone, there is a line that should never be crossed.

When hunters fail to abide by such established limits, the sport is lost and their actions no longer can be considered a hunt.

As technology grows ever more advanced, there are certain to be even more ethical gymnastics.

Recently, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, or “drones” for scouting has been in the news.

Last month, the Pope and Young Club, a venerable North American conservation and bowhunting organization, issued a statement declaring that the use of drones for bowhunting purposes is considered a breach of the rules of fair chase.

Bowhunters have used drones to scout for deer, and animal rights groups have used them to harass hunters they deem unethical.

In fact, drones have become so popular and prolific, that the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission has voted to make Colorado the first state to prohibit Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for hunting and game scouting. Within a month of the decision, game commissions in Montana and Vermont approved similar bans.

And in efforts to protect the hunters from wayward drones that have been employed by animal rights enthusiasts to harass

hunters, legislators in Tennessee and Alabama have introduced legislation to prohibit the use of drones to interfere with private citizens who are lawfully hunting or fishing.

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

The availability and reliability of radio controlled drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles has provided hunters with a unique tool for scouting game animals. However, the use of these small, and extremely mobile radio controlled drones for hunting purposes has already been banned in several states.

Ò Join Peter, Wendy, John and Michael and, of course, Tinker Bell, who along with the Lost Boys, do battle with the sinister Captain Hook and his pirate crew. Ò Along the journey youÕ ll befriend Tiger Lilly and her tribe and re-awaken your belief in fairies,” she said. “‘Pater Pan’ will delight the immortal child in all os us.”

The musical is known for its songs Ò Never, Never Land,” “I Won’t Grow Up” and “I’m Flying.”

Abigail Veverka will play the role of Peter Pan. Ian Lowe will be Captain Hook, Natalia Stout will be Mrs. Darling, Sam Foote will play Mr. Darling and Levi Williams will portray Smee. The Darling children will played by Harrison Gereau, Ashlyn Lough and Noah Vickery.

Michael Tracy will provide musical accompaniment, Anita Masiello is voice coach and Kristin Stroebel is choreographer.

Sets were designed by Brie Livingston and constructed by Dennis Root. Sargent made the costumes and Root designed the lighting.

“Peter Pan” is based on a 1901 story by Scottish author J.M. Barrie. It became a series of books and was first produced on stage in 1904.

The play came to Broadway in 1954, starring Mary Martin as Peter and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook. Both earned Tony Awards.

The play was followed by NBC telecasts of it in 1955, 1956 and 1960 with the same stars, plus several rebroadcasts of the 1960 telecast.

“Peter Pan” has also enjoyed several revivals on stage. Updated Broadway productions of the play were staged in the 1980s and 1990s.

Comprehensive emergency plan in works

By Seth Lang

seth@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point officials are participating in a comprehensive emergency plan offered by Essex County Emergency Services.

The plan will determine which hazards have happened in the past and which might potentially happen in the future.

These hazards range from dam failures and flooding to earthquakes and fuel shortages.

Officials run through 35 possible hazards and choose which of those have the highest percentage to take place in the town of Crown Point.

On the top of Crown PointÕ s list so far is dam

failure. Crown Point has the Penfield dam as well as various beaver dams that could potentially cause a lot of damage. Essex County has a total of 115 dams.

“The goal is to prepare for the worse,” said Essex County Director of Emergency Services Don Jaquish.

Jaquish said towns are required to update their contact information once a year to avoid any miscommunication.

“With storms more severe and flooding occurring more often in recent years, towns need to be better prepared,” said Jaquish. Ò Its a plan that every town should have in order to be prepared for an emergency situation that might present itself,” said Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington.

Once finalized the town will have contacts established with all appropriate agencies state wide.

Many residents attending a meeting on the emergency plan were concerned with the increase in train traffic and the recent incidents involving trains colliding with automobiles.

Jaquish, however, said there is no correlation between recent accidents and the increase in train traffic.

Others at the meeting asked if train cars containing oil that run along Lake Champlain cause an environmental risk. Jaquish said the

current oil cars are old and are in need of updating to help reduce the risk of spill if such an incident occurs.

Jaquish stated that the study also helps with disaster funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency because it shows that the town was prepared to the best of their abilities and not negligent.

The plan will be finalized within a few weeks.

Once completed, Crown Point will have an accurate assessment of their potential risks the town may face and develop a plan for each of them, Harrington said.

A Crown Point man faces a number of charges.

Cole M. Brooks, 19, has been charged with second-degree rape, according to the Essex County District Attorney’s Office.

Brooks was charged with first-degree unlawful imprisonment, a felony, and four counts of misdemeanor second-degree menacing, three counts of third-degree assault, second-degree harassment, criminal obstruction of breathing and endangering the welfare of a child. All are in connection with a Feb. 6 fight.

The dispute originated with an argument, state police said. Alcohol was a factor, police said.

Brooks fired a Remington 870 12-gauge shotgun seven times in the driveway of the Pearl Street residence and threatened to shoot the four others, police said.

He assaulted three people, one of whom was a 14-year-old girl, who was choked and struck in the face, police said. Brooks also allegedly struck a 19-year-old woman in the face with the butt of the shotgun.

An 18-year-old man who was trying to break up the fight sustained bite and scratch marks from Brooks, who also struck the man with the shotgun, police said.

The first officers to arrive were from the Ticonderoga Police Department, who arrested Brooks and took him to Moses-Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga for treatment of injuries he sustained while struggling with the 18-year-old male.

Brooks was arraigned in Ticonderoga town court and was sent to the Essex County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond.

Crown Point man faces charges

Port Henry From page 1 They called a few months ago. Ò This group is made up of world class musicians whose mission is to create a sense of pride and support for our local community and country,” Pray said.

Since its formation in 1969, the Jazz Ambassadors have appeared in all 50 states and throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

The Jazz Ambassadors present a diverse program of big band swing, Latin music, contemporary jazz, popular tunes, standards, Dixieland and patriotic selections.

Members of the Jazz Ambassadors are selected by highlycompetitive audition. Many members of the Jazz Ambassadors have extensive civilian performance experience. Alumni have gone on to careers in university teaching, studio recording and performance.

More than three decades of touring have earned them the title “The Musical Ambassadors of the Army.”

The band is directed by Chief Warrant Officer William S. McCulloch. He enlisted in the Army in 1991 as a percussionist and was appointed as an Army Bandmaster in 2000. During his 20year career, he has served tours with the 25th Infantry Division Band, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; the 98th Army Band, Fort Rucker, Ala.; the 101st Airborne Division Band, Fort Campbell, Ky.; the 9th Army Band, Fort Wainwright, Alaska; the 10th Mountain Division Band at Fort Drum; and the 392nd Army Band, Fort Lee, Va. He deployed with the 10th Mountain Division Band from 2008 to 2009 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Master Sergeant Marva J. Lewis is the vocalist with the Jazz Ambassadors. Originally from Denison, Texas, she attended Wiley College in Marshall, Texas, on a choir scholarship, graduating in 1988 with a bachelorÕ s degree in business administration. In 1989, Lewis joined the Army as a Petroleum Supply Specialist. During the Persian Gulf War from 1990–1991, she served three campaigns in Saudi Arabia with the 15th Forward Support Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division from Fort Hood, Texas.

After returning from the Middle East, she was reassigned to Camp Casey, Korea. While singing karaoke at a unit function, she was heard by the Republic of Korea head of Army Entertainment and recruited to tour throughout Korea. She was subsequently selected for the 1993 and 1994 Army Soldier Show, performing at more than 50 military installations throughout the United States, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Germany. She was chosen by the Sergeant Major of the Army to perform with the All Army Band at the 1994 opening of the ArmyÕ s Shades of Green Hotel at Disney World, Orlando, Florida.

Later in 1994, she returned to Fort Hood, Texas, as vocalist with the 1st Cavalry Division Band. In December 1995, she was selected to be featured vocalist with the Jazz Knights of the United States Military Academy Band and reassigned to West Point.

She joined the Jazz Ambassadors in September 1999.

A world-class jazz band is coming to Port Henry. The U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors will perform at Moriah Central School Saturday, March 29, at 7 p.m.

The Moriah Vikings fifth and sixth grade AAU basketball team won the Division A championship at the IAABO Tournament in Peru. The team includes, from left Coach Jason Strieble, Michael Rollins, Jeffrey Strieble, Maddox Blaise, Rowan Swan, Logan VanBuren, Michael Flanigan, Luke Smith, Braden Swan, Coach Wes Rollins, Coach Bart Swan and Quincy Swan.

Moriah boys knock off defending state champions Argyle

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ At the end of each of the first three quarters, Adam Jaquish had both outscored and out-rebounded the defending New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D state champion Argyle Scots single-handedly.

As he fouled out with 1:15 in the fourth quarter and the Moriah Vikings leading 45-36 en route to a 50-40 victory March 5, he was tied with the Scots with 20 rebounds each.

Jaquish finished with 25 points and 20 boards as the Vikings (20-2) advanced to the Class D regional finals Saturday, March 8.

“We knew that we had a size advantage and we wanted to post up, get the mismatches and get them in foul trouble,” Jaquish said after the game.

“We knew that Adam would give them trouble in the post and for three quarters we executed our game plan,” Vikings head coach Brian Cross said. Ò Tyler Pratt played Kobe Lufkin very well and we didnÕ t let them get into an offensive flow.”

Brock Liddle led the Scots with 12 points, four rebounds and four steals while Lufkin had 11 points to go with five steals. Delsharray Pryce led the Scots with six rebounds.

Ò Just to get to this point in the season was great, and it means a lot to beat them,” Jaquish, who also had four steals and three blocks, said on his teamsÕ victory against the defending state champs.

“It feels amazing to beat the state champs,” said Ryan Jaquish, who hit three of four free throws in the final 49 seconds of the game to go with two rebounds. Ò I try to clear my mind on every free throw and treat it just like practice.”

“Whether or not they were the defending state champs, we know the caliber of program they have in Argyle and this is quite the accomplishment for us to have. Hopefully, weÕ re not done yet,” he said.

Noah Gilbo added nine points and eight rebounds for the Vikings, with Jarrod MacDougal scoring seven points to go with five rebounds and three steals; Taylor Slattery added five points, four rebounds, four blocked shots and three steals; and Pratt scored a point along with five assists, two rebounds and two steals.

While the Vikings got a strong fourth quarter from Ryan Jaquish at the line, the team started going 1-for-8 from the free throw stripe in the final eight minutes.

“We have struggled in practice at the line as well,” Cross said. “I keep telling the kids that the big thing is to relax and take their time with the shot.”

Moriah’s Taylor Slattery makes a pass during the Vikings’ win against Argyle in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D basketball tournament. Moriah advanced with a 50-40 victory.

Lady Vikings’ run ends with loss to Section II’s Ft. Edward Vikings finish 19-1

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Falling behind by six points early in the third, the Moriah Lady Vikings pulled within one point in the final seconds of the third quarter.

That meant there were still seconds left.

Alexis Thomas connected on her second threepointer of the quarter as the buzzer sounded to end the third, pushing the Fort Edward Lady Forts out to a 41-37 lead they would not relinquish in defeating the Section VII/Class D champions, 53-45, March 5.

“That three pointer really killed us,” Moriah head coach Erica Slattery said. Ò Thomas nailed those two at the end of the quarter and it really put us behind.”

Slattery also gave credit to the Fort Edward defense in handing the Vikings their first, and only, loss of the season.

“We really had a difficult time getting out of their

traps,” she said. “We were not able to come back once we got behind and they were very quick defensively.”

Madison Stahl paced the Vikings with 13 points and 10 rebounds along with a pair of blocked shots, while Taylor Sprague scored 10 points to go with seven rebounds and a pair of assists. Caitlin Pelkey added eight points, six assists, four rebounds and four steals with Halie Snyder scoring all six of her points in the third quarter to go with three rebounds and three steals. Lauren Cross scored four points and dished out two assists, while Lauren Brace scored two points and Sarah Slattery, who played the game in foul trouble, had two points to go with three rebounds and three assists. Ò Their 19-1 (record) and it is going to be a long time before that record gets reached again,” Slattery said about her team after the game. “We had 10 kids that worked hard and busted it in every practice and every game. We lose our speed next year, but we will focus on ball handling and working the paint big time.”

seen Mineville High accomplish so many sports miracles that should they attain national honors it would not be to our great surprise.”

Also, from the Adirondack Record/Elizabethtown Post, also printed April 3, 1930: Ò ESSEX COUNTY QUINT TAKES STATE HONORS Ò The Margaretville boys took the lead at the opening of the game and held it during the first eight minutes of play, but then the Mineville boys hit their stride and from that time on they were not in danger... Ò Trybendis scored 18 points, four more than the entire Margaretville team... Trybendis, the Mineville star, was ably supported in his work by his team-mates, the whole Essex county organization working lie a well oiled piece of machinery.”

The box score from the Lake Placid News had Cloonan adding 6 points, Smatt 4, Batruski 2 and Stancock 1, with Hatbiss not scoring but named in the box score.

Two years later in 1932, the final state championship games were held in Syracuse. After, the state decided it was not in the best educational interest of the students and ended the event, with sectional titles being the highest championship a team could attain. The state playoffs were brought back in their current form in 1981, with the Moriah boys basketball team making the state championship game 11 years ago in 2003.

A look at the 1930 state championship Mineville Miners

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com MORIAH — While several teams from the North Country and Section VII have made it to the New York State Public High School Athletic AssociationÕ s (NYSPHSAA) Final Four since it returned in 1981, no one has been able to match the feat of a group of high schoolers from a now extinct school who made their way to Syracuse in 1930.

The Mineville Miners were crowned the Class B (there were only two classes at the time) state champions March 28, 1930, defeating Margaretville 31-14 in taking top honors.

Several local newspapers had pieces about the championship. From the Ticonderoga Sentinel, April 3, 1930:

Ò MINEVILLEÕ S CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM Ò Every sports loving resident of Essex County is proud of the Mineville High school basketball team which won the Class B championship of New York State at Syracuse last Friday night. Displaying the same spirit of hard fight, clean play, dazzling play and hardy strength, the northerners swept through the elimination contests and romped home Friday with state honors. Coach Davidson as well as his team are deserving of unstinted praise. Hailing from a comparatively obscure little mining hamlet in the Adirondacks, Mineville met and defeated the finest Class B teams in the state. Ò It is understood that the Miners will compete at the national tournament, soon to be held in Chicago. While it is likely we are carried away by justified enthusiasm, we have

No. 3 Moriah ready for trip to the Class D semifinals at GFCC

By Keith Lobdell

Meet the Vikings

keith@denpubs.com MORIAH Ñ For the second time in the last 11 years, the Moriah boys varsity basketball team will head to the Glens Falls Civic Center to play in the New York State Public High School Athletic AssociationÕ s (NYSPHSAA) state championships.

The Vikings (21-2) will play Section IIIÕ s New York Mills (21-1), the top ranked team in Class D according to the New York State Sportswriters Association, Friday, March 14 at 11:45 a.m.

Moriah, ranked third in the March 11 NYSSWA poll, cruised through the Section VII tournament in defeating Lake Placid, Keene and Westport before scoring 10-point regional wins against then No. 2 and defending Class D champion Argyle and Madrid-Wadington, who had eliminated them from the regional playoffs one year ago.

For head coach Brian Cross, this trip to the Final Four has been about defense.

“We have played very well defensively all year,” said Cross, who guided the Vikings to the state championship game against SS Seward in 2003. “We have been able to rebound the ball well with Taylor Slattery, Noah Gilbo and Adam Jaquish.

Tyler Pratt has done a great job defensively against some of the best scorers in the state, holding (Kobe) Lufkin and the Barney kid from Madrid well below their scoring averages.”

The Vikings also played in a very competitive Northern Basketball League Division II, where they faced stiff challenges from Seton Catholic, Moriah and Westport.

“We have had six or eight games that were very close and we won most of them,” Cross said. Ò The key is that we never panicked, and we could have easily panicked against Madrid-Waddington when we got in foul trouble in the second half.”

While the Moriah offense is focused around center Adam Jaquish, who averages 18.1 points and 12.7 rebounds per game along with 5 blocks per on the defensive end, Cross said the key is what the other players bring to the table. Ò Noah has played big, especially late in the season averaging near a double-double,” he said. “Ryan Jaquish has come off the bench and played some big minutes. He hit some clutch free throws against Argyle and while he only had one basket against Madrid, it was a big three pointer that helped us to the win.”

In comparing the 2013-14 team to the 2002-03 squad that made the trip to Glens Falls, the current squad has youth on its side. Ò That team had four seniors and a sophomore in the starting lineup,” Cross said. Ò This is team almost the complete opposite. We start one senior, a junior and three sophomores with a sophomore as our sixth man, so there are a lot of times we have four sophomores on the court.”

No matter the makeup of the team, the closest any of the current players have been to the Final Four was as young elementary students watching the 2003 squad. Ò ItÕ s going to be an eye-opening experience when these kids walk into the Civic Center,” Cross said. “We will treat it as another game and we have to continue to do the same things that we have done all year.”

New York Mills has been to the Final Four three times in the past four season, winning the Class D state title in 2010-11 with a 4742 win over Coleman Catholic. They lost in the semifinal round to state champ Argyle (67-60) last season and 56-50 to eventual state champion Maple Grove in 2009-10.

Mills also won the 1982 state championship all under the direction of head coach Mike Adey, a 2011 inductee to the New York State Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame along with former Westport coach Tom Beauvais. Ò They have been there before so their kids have the experience,” Cross said.

Mills is led by 6-3 guard Nick Comenale, who averages 24.3 points per game, 3.1 assists and 3.5 steals. Ò He is a shooter-slasher who looks very good from what I have seen on tape,” Cross said. Ò They are going to try and do a lot of the same things that we do, we just have to be able to defend it and rebound.”

In the first game of the day at the Civic Center, 2011 Class D champion Coleman Catholic of Section IX plays Sherman of Section VI at 10 a.m. The winners of the two games will meet Saturday, March 15, at 5:30 p.m. for the right to hoist the Class D state championship.
