Inspection now will allow boats into Lake George fred@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Lake George Park Commission has established a ÒF rozen Boats” program that allows local residents to have their boats certified as invasive-free with a Vessel Inspection Control Seal in advance of the 2014 boating season.

Each VICS is numbered.

When a boat is sealed the seal number and the boat registration number are both recorded.

Having a boat with an intact inspection seal acquired through the “Frozen Boats” program removes the need for that boat to visit one of the six regional inspection stations for an inspection prior to its first launch of the year into Lake George. The local program will provide inspection seals for trailered boats that have been demonstrated to be exposed to the winter elements sufficiently long to kill aquatic invasive species.

People in Ticonderoga can contact Walt Lender at 6683558 to arrange an inspection.

Hague residents can contact Steve Ramant at 543-6542 or 2hottubs@msn.com.

MORIAH Ñ The Moriah Fire Department will participate in a state-wide recruiting effort.

The local company will host an open house 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 26, at the fire station at 630 Tarbell Hill Road as part of the FiremenÕ s Association of the State of New York RecruitNY 2014 program.

The program is designed to inform the community

about the role volunteer firefighters play and, hopefully, attract new members. Ò I want to try and get as many people through our door as possible that day, even if they donÕ t sign up,Ó Moriah FD Lt. James Michener said. Ò I want them to experience what itÕ s like to be a volunteer. WeÕ re going to have some hands-on demonstrations and some tables set up with some of the equipment we use.Ó Michener said the Moriah department especially needs young members.

“We have about 50 active firefighters on our roster, which also includes our fire police,” he said. “Now that

may seem like a lot, but if you were to take the average age of our membership, which is 38-42, we really don’t have that many young firefighters. Ò We started a R.A.M. (restricted active member/junior firefighter) program about three years ago to help recruit some younger people from our community,Ó Michener said. Ò Every year, except for this year, we had an average of 5-6 junior firefighters. But some have moved onto college or have moved away. WeÕ ve had seven that have stayed and become full firefighters.”

Ò In general, three days of continuous freezing is long enough to kill any AIS present on a boat or trailer,” said Emily DeBolt, the LGA outreach coordinator. Ò And we have certainly had more than three days in a row of below freezing temperatures this winter.Ó The earliest ice out on the areaÕ s local water bodies will signify the end of the Ò Frozen Boats” program and Vessel Inspection Control Seals will not be applied after that date. Ò Ice out is typically early to mid-April, but I wouldnÕ t be surprised if it isnÕ t a bit late this year,” said DeBolt. “Although, you just never know what the weather is going to do, so if you have a boat that you want sealed as part of this program, I would be sure to get it taken care of sooner rather than later.Ó

The new mandatory inspection program will go into effect May 15. Ò If you plan to launch your boat before May 15 you wonÕ t be required to be inspected and sealed,” DeBolt said. “But if you arenÕ t sure, you can go ahead and get your boat sealed now to be safe.Ó Ò If your boat is stored at a local storage facility, the LGPC has drafted agreements with local marinas and haulers which include provisions for the ‘Frozen Boats’ program,Ó said Dave Wick, executive director of the Lake George Park Commission. Ò If your boat is presently in the care, custody and control of a local winter storage facility, please contact your facility for details. It is likely that there is nothing further you have to do.Ó The LGPC is also coordinating its program with local haulers as well as storage facilities. Ò If your boat is stored on blocks and seasonally transported with a hydraulic trailer by a local hauler, please contact your hauler for details,Ó Wick said. Ò Many regional haul-

Ò We are glad to be able to lead by example and help get the word out about the frozen boats program at the same time,Ó said Lender, the LGAÕ s executive director. Ò The LGPCÕ s efforts to create a comprehensive mandatory inspection program to protect the lake is no small task Ñ and seemingly minor details, such as tagging frozen boats, can help decrease congestion at the inspection stations early on in the season, which will be important to the success of the program this first year. Ò When folks arrive at the lake this summer we want them to understand that lake protection and recreation can go hand in hand,” he said. “It’s like a first impression You want to get it right.Ó

Ticonderoga High School thespians present classic tale Students perform ‘Pride and Prejudice’ TICONDEROGA Ñ A 200-year-old tale came to the stage at Ticonderoga High School as students presented Ò Pride and Prejudice.Ó Sentinel Productions, the student drama club, performed an adaptation of the classic Jane Austen book that tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet in 19th Century England. Bennet deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education and marriage. The book was first published in 1813. Ò Pride and PrejudiceÓ was an ambitious undertaking for the group, according to Amy Crannell, English teacher and play director. Ò This is an independent group,Ó Crannell said. Ò We work to encourage that, as it yields the best opportunities for learning. Ò That includes everything from planning ahead to coping with last minute surprises,Ó she said. “They learn about finances and sharing resources. Everyone has different talents and ideas, partly because we draw from many social groups. They gravitate toward their strengths and I just keep a light hand on the tiller, offer suggestions as we go. Our biggest rule is that there should be Ô no drama in dramaÕ .Ó The student production was a rousing success, according to Deb Breitenbach, an English teacher at the school. Ò Ms. CrannellÕ s drama students did a wonderful job this year of bringing the Jane Austen classic to our stage,Ó she said. Ò It was a challenging undertaking in many ways; however, Ms. Crannell and her talented Ticonderoga thespians were up to the task. Kudos to them all.Ó The cast featured Tyler Morse, Mackenzie Strum, Willa Shakeshaft, Josie Worley, Laura Perez Maquedano, Emily Powers, Taylor Dorsett, Cody Shaner, Shelby Spaulding, Martin Glazer, Michaela Baker, Cassie Adams, Lillith Ida, Nicholas Fitzgerald, Ryan Price, Shelby Turner, Susan Ward and Alex Harvey.

Lighting and design was handled by Michael LaFountain, Jamie Cox and Sam Shelmidine; Hair designs and styling were done by Sharon Dorsett and Taylor Dorsett. Set construction and decoration were completed by Susan Ward,

Kelly Baker made a lovely gown for her daughter, Michaela, and gave cast and crew a lovely lunch; Karl Crannell provided the annual opening night dinner. Sharon Dorsett and her daughter, Taylor, teamed up to create theatrical hairstyles and makeup to evoke the historical period. Ò AubuchonÕ s donated part of our construction materials,Ó Crannell said. Ò Many businesses and groups displayed our posters. Fort Ticonderoga gave us some clothing which is great for costumes but no longer supports their mission. We were even included in the MArts Madness calendar. The entire list is overwhelming as a whole; best of all, the adults who sup-

Ò WeÕ re going to miss our graduating seniors Martin Glazier, Michael LaFountain, Shelby Spaulding, Taylor Dorsett and Cassie Adams, not to mention our wonderful exchange student, Laura Perez Maquedano,Ó she said. Ò I am moved each year by the people who support us in every possible way, including a significant number of the faculty and staff,” Crannell said. Ò This was a production not to be missed.Ó Those who do miss the performance can still see it. The play was videotaped and can be purchased from the school for $12.

Master gardener candidates sought by Cornell Cooperative People wanted in Ti, Crown Point, Schroon Lake

TICONDEROGA Ñ Do you have a green thumb? Would you like to have a green thumb?

If so, Cornell Cooperative Extension would like to hear about it. The service is seeking master gardener candidates, particularly from Ticonderoga, Crown Point and Schroon Lake areas. Ò Cornell Cooperative Extension is recruiting master gardener volunteers for Essex County,Ó Linda Gillilland, who leads the program in Essex County, said. Ò We are searching for master gardener volunteers who enjoy working with youth and seniors. We also highly encourage gardeners who live in the

southern end of our county Ñ Schroon, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, etc. Ñ to apply. Ò Master gardener volunteers receive an in depth training in a variety of horticultural topics,Ó she said. Ò In return, master gardener volunteers contribute a minimum of 50 hours per year as part of their program commitment.

The purpose of the master gardener program is to train volunteers who will then teach others how to protect the environment and grow plants more effectively.Ó Applications for the master gardener program are due June 1. Training starts Sept. 9.

For more information or for an application contact Gillilland at 962-4810 or llg46@cornell. edu Applicants will be interviewed this summer. Master gardeners will be selected based on their availability, willingness to volunteer,

communication skills and background in gardening.

There is a $200 cost for the program, which includes 50 hours of training.

The master gardener program is a national effort. Ò In our region, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Clinton and Essex Counties have a master gardener program which Amy Ivy oversees with the help of our horticulture educators in each county, Jolene Wallace in Clinton County and myself in Essex County,Ó Gillilland said. Ò This is a lot more than just an in-depth course in gardening. The purpose of the program is to train volunteers who will then teach others what they have learned, using a wide range of teaching methods.Ó Being a master gardener is demanding, Gillilland said.

Ò There is a considerable volunteer commitment of 50 hours a year, but those who are able to fit in the time say itÕ s an excellent way to learn more about their favorite topic (gardening) while helping others,” she said.

This fallÕ s master gardener training sessions will be held in Keeseville. Once training is complete, master gardeners work in their own communities. Master gardeners are expected to give informal talks and workshops on gardening topics.

The training sessions will be practical and hands-on, with an emphasis on trouble-shooting, prevention and environmentally-friendly methods of plant health care, Gillilland said.

Topics will include cool season gardening; composting; ecological lawn care; selecting, planting and maintaining trees and shrubs; soil management; and trouble-shooting plant problems.

Ti project outlined at Basin Programs’ Burlington conference TICONDEROGA Ñ A Ticonderoga project was highlighted during a conference in Burlington recently.

The Lake Champlain Basin Program hosted experts from around the region to discuss storm water management and aquatic invasive species in light of climate change. The workshops were held in coordination with this yearÕ s New England Association of Environmental Biologists conference and coordinated by the Vermont Department of Conservation in partnership with the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission and the LCBP. Lake George Association Outreach Coordinator Emily DeBolt highlighted a number of recent LGA projects during the “Boots on the GroundÓ session of the storm water management workshop that focused on project outcomes from around the basin and shared insights on how to apply low impact design standards to prepare for future storm events.

DeBolt highlighted various low impact development projects

that the LGA has worked on with partners over recent years, including rain gardens in Ticonderoga and Silver Bay as well as the ongoing project at Usher Park with the town of Lake George.

The project combines green and gray infrastructure to manage the large amount of storm water coming down the hill at the park. A shoreline buffer and hillside erosion control planting were planted last fall Ð and dry wells and other underground structures will be installed this year as well. Ò We are getting more big storms and unpredictable weather.

More rain when we donÕ t need it and not enough rain when we do. This means that yes, you might have to actually water a rain garden, as counter-intuitive as that might seem at first. And that calculating how much storm water a system needs to handle isnÕ t as straightforward as it was just a few years ago, because hundred year events arenÕ t hundred year events anymoreÓ said DeBolt.

Another project DeBolt highlighted at the conference was completed last summer on Black Point Road in Ticonderoga.

This project included dry wells, underground infiltrators and a trench drain along with a vegetated swale along the road and a shoreline buffer along the lake shore. Ò While we are big proponents of green infrastructure, we also think a good balance of gray and green is still important in some cases. When you have a lot of storm water to deal with, you donÕ t necessarily want to put all your eggs in one basket. Using a number of different methods to address a storm water problem

makes the most sense, especially when you think about climate change,” said DeBolt. “The keys to storm water management in respect to climate change are building resiliency and redundancy into our systems. Plants and other green infrastructure practices are much more resilient than bricks and mortar.Ó The next day DeBolt shared what the LGA has learned from years of aquatic invasive species management work on Lake George. This second workshop focused on climate change impacts on the Lake Champlain Basin’s aquatic ecosystem and was designed to provide a better understanding of how climate change may impact native aquatic and invasive species management strategies in our region.

DeBolt discussed the Lake Steward Program, asian clam management, local transport laws and the recent transition to a mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program for Lake George. Ò It was really interesting to gain a better understanding of the regulatory side of things in Vermont by talking with Vermont DEC permits staff during a roundtable discussion session,Ó said DeBolt. “For example, they have a state-wide aquatic invasive species transport law, something we have been pushing for in New York for quite some time now. But the politics of Vermont and New York are very different. Our local counties have been able to pass their own transport laws because we are a home rule state in New York. Vermont is not, so they donÕ t have local laws like that.Ó

Local dance students to perform recital at Ti auditorium Over 30 young dancers will perform

By Seth Lang

seth@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Gunning Dance Family and Fitness Studio will perform a non-traditional dance recital at the Ticonderoga High School auditorium Friday, May 2, at 7 p.m.

Owner Jennie Lou Gunning has been taking dance lessons for over 40 years and now offers lessons to all ages. SheÕ s performed at the Sante Dance in Winooski, Vt., the Flynn Theater in Burlington, Vt., and many other venues throughout the Northeast.

Warm weather a winner TICONDEROGA Ñ Finally! Some warm weather has arrived in Ticonderoga, which made Robin Hearburg happier than most.

Hearburg won the annual Kiwanis Club Win at 55 contest.

The person who came closest to guessing what day and hour, after Feb. 28, the air temperature would hit 55 degrees at the

Last fall with the input from friends and family she decided to open her own studio in downtown Ticonderoga.

The studio offers lessons in tap, jazz, ballet, acrobatics, lyrical, and dansercize to children age 4 to 13.

Yoga, belly dancing and stretch and tone are also offered to adults in separate specialized classes.

This performance, Ò The Fairy and The Frog,Ó was an idea thatÕ s been in GunningÕ s head for awhile. Ò ItÕ s something IÕ ve thought a lot about,Ó said Gunning. Ò Seeing it come to life on stage is going to be so rewarding.Ó The performance is considered to be a mini-classical ballet with a few jazz and tap routines in between. Ò I would call the recital non-traditional. ItÕ s not a better reweather station located at the Downing residence on the Portage in Ticonderoga, was declared the contest winner.

April 2 the official temperature reached 55 degrees at 4:44 p.m.

Hearburg’s guess was April 2 at 4:20 p.m. She won $500 for her meteorological skills.

Second place and $300 went to Michael John. Third place and $200 went to Lena Robetoy.

cital, but a different one than most,Ó Gunning said.

Over 30 dancers will perform and at various points in the show they will all be on the stage at the same time.

Gunning cites her biggest influence as the long time Ticonderoga dance teacher Norma Strong Sage who thought local dance for over 50 years.

Sage retired from her own studio a few years ago creating the need for another local dance studio in town. Gunning had taken close to 40 years of lessons from Sage and still takes lessons at the TNT Dance Factory in Port Henry with the owner and long time friend and dance partner Terry Northup.

Tickets will be available for purchase at the Ticonderoga Chamber of Commerce. For more information contact Gunning at 585-6781 or visit Facebook at Gunning Dance Family and Fitness studio.

Recalls and take downs

T

oyota has been through it: lawyers smelling blood in the water, injured consumers, and those going for the gold by signing on to class-action lawsuits.

Now itÕ s General MotorsÕ turn.

Thousands of G.M. vehicles are part of the current faulty ignition-switch recall, another auto company scandal and shakedown, er, problem (witness Toyota and its Ò unintended acceleration” woes).

Last week, a U.S. judge in Texas decided to Ò go slowÓ after lawyers and families of victims called for a corporate lynching. They want General Motors to ground 2.53 million cars due to the defective ignition. So, how do 2.53 million drivers get around without their cars? ItÕ s an immense problem that no consumer lawyer, or even a federal judge, can get their hands around. In fact, the problem might cause its own spin off of lawsuits (to which many in our area will be happy to sign on to).

G.M. is one of only two remaining U.S.owned auto companies. Chrysler, like it or not, is really a foreign car company now being owned by the Italians thanks to Uncle Sam giving away that farm to foreigners just after the U.S. taxpayer bailed it out. And, ironically, as a new, leaner, meaner G.M., under Mary Barra’s leadership, was emerging from its predecessorÕ s bankrupt Government Motors bailout image, the old G.M. made a creepy reappearance, much like actor Jack NicholsonÕ s weird movie character in Ò The ShiningÓ .

ToyotaÕ s scandal and subsequent $1.2 billion shakedown by the DOJÑ due to the controversial unintended acceleration debacleÑ was in the big news just as the G.M. problem moved up in the headlines to remind us that itÕ s always open season on big business. But in fairness to the Detroit boys and girlsÑ hey, if Toyota vehicles werenÕ t grounded over the acceleration problem (which had casualties, too) why should G.M.Õ s vehicles be grounded?

With millions of these G.M vehicles already over the 100,000-mile mark on the odometer, why the sudden urgency to ground fleets of the cars?

April 12, 2014

Many G.M. cars have well over 100,000 miles and; so far, no ignition-failure problem.

Are the ignition failures in vehicles with over 100,000 miles or under? (We donÕ t seem to know.) No matter, why should we stop driving our car based on a few accidents (and deaths)?

We are told that thereÕ s a problem with the airbag power. Well, what we donÕ t hear in the news reports is the fact that G.M. passenger airbags (the bags in question of failure) have a backup power source; part of engineering-in safety in-depth.

So, we must agree with G.M. attorney David Balser. He told the Texas judge hearing the case that grounding 2.53 million cars would be “unprecedentedÓ and Ò cause chaos.Ó How about the math: 31 crashes and 12 deaths since 2001 out of 2.53 million vehicles; not something for G.M. to be proud of, yet it doesn’t take an Alan Turing to notice that 31 events out of 2.53 million in 13 years is, well, not something requiring the grounding of an entire fleet.

An observation: If there is a bona fide catastrophic flaw running through every single ignition switch installed in 2.53 million cars, wouldnÕ t there be a far higher number of crashes and deaths that weÕ d be hearing about?.

How are other G.M. drivers reacting to all this?

There is a Facebook-based group of recreational Chevrolet HHR owners. Members are still cruising around and enjoying their fun, spiffy retro-styled cars. Sure, the news is unsettling, but remember that so much of what we hear in the media is composed of equal parts of hype and hysteria. Spurned owners aside, when there are DOJ and other lawyers sniffing the water for corporate blood... Need I say more?

Will G.M. end up exactly like ToyotaÑ a oneway trip to Shakedown City. Will it be forced to pay out for a problem that, at least statistically, doesn’t appear as catastrophic as first reported by the news media and the attorneys of victims and consumer groups. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Best editorial ever To the Times of Ti: Opinions, freedom, rights and wrongs - This editorial is the best editorial I have ever read and and should be featured on the front page of every newspaper, magazine, television, radio and other major media outlets instead of tucked away in a tiny Northwoods publication. I can hardly believe that anyone would even publish it!

I just want to add a few truths that the media talking heads have propagandized to the point that it just disgusts me personally to even consider myself an American.

Concerning the ACA, no matter how the politicians, media Ò spin doctors,Ó talk show Ò personalitiesÓ and other paid propagandists spin it, the truth is that universal health care in the U.S. is long overdue. ThereÕ s no need to discuss this any further.

Regarding unchecked population growth, no matter how the media Ò spin doctors,Ó talk show Ò personalitiesÓ and other paid propagandists spin it, the truth is that, with very few exceptions, every one of mankindÕ s problems is owed to too many people.

As a person with a scientific training in thermodynamics and reaction kinetics, I can assure you with 100 percent certainty that a day of reckoning is coming. The only uncertainty is when.

No matter how the politicians, media Ò spin doctors,Ó talk show Ò personalitiesÓ and other paid propagandists spin it, the truth is that -- as IÕ ve said many times -- President KennedyÕ s famous admonition to, Ó ask not what your Country can do for you but rather what you can do for your Country.Ó may be a popular clicheÕ among the troops but it clearly doesnÕ t apply to legislators and the wealthy.

IÕ m well aware that you know all this, but this is just a gentle reminder that some people really are aware of whatÕ s going on in this dysfunctional country.

The real issue is what can be done? The truthful answer? Not much, and certainly not by appealing to a rigged legal system.

In any event, today is the first day of New YorkÕ s trout sea-

Seek NY opinion on pipeline To the Times of Ti: The North Country Chamber of Commerce is the largest business and economic development organization in northern New York and the Lake Champlain region, representing more than 4,200 predominantly small employers across Essex, Clinton, Franklin, Hamilton and northern Warren Counties. We are strategically committed to the sustainable economic future of our shared, bi-state Champlain Valley region, working actively over the last twenty years across the lake on such endeavors as the Lake Champlain Basin Plan.

Looking ahead, the Addison-Rutland Natural Gas Project, now before the Addison County Regional Planning Commission for review, holds an historic opportunity for Vermont and New York to jointly sustain a major source of shared employment and economic activity while also significantly enhancing the environment, all by assisting International Paper in the planned transition from heavy oil to natural gas.

Given the broad regional importance of this pending project, and the critical importance of bi-state cooperation and partnership in what is our shared future, we hope the Commission will provide sufficient time and opportunity for all areas of the Lake Champlain region to be part of the dialogue and input, and that the Commission will in the end advance this important project in support of our joint economic and environmental future.

County: Ahead of tax auction, Moriah nabs new property

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com MORIAH Ñ Within spitting distance of this townÕ s water treatment plant at the edge of Bartlett Pond is a sprawling half-acre abandoned eyesore that the supervisor of this rural town says is a threat to public health.

In contrast to the tidylooking treatment facility with beige tin siding that filters water for several thousand community residents, the adjacent property, which straddles an embankment and Bartlett Pond Road, contained three moldering wooden structures in a muddy yard strewn with rusty detritus and piles of trash.

Several tattered signs Ñ Beware of Dog! No Trespassing! Ñ flapped against the wet birch trees last week.

Supervisor Tom Scozzafava made an argument to the board of supervisors last week that the county should hand over the neglected lot to the town as a safeguard of public health.

After some sparring, they gave it to him. Ò We want to protect the water supply that serves a few thousand people,Ó he said. Ò This is critical.Ó Scozzafava said his town couldnÕ t afford the minimum $23,000 bid at the county tax auction scheduled at the end of the month on top of the estimated $13,000 that it would cost to clean up the Ò disastrousÓ compound. Ò We canÕ t even gate it off because we have an easement going into the plant,Ó he said.

Some lawmakers questioned the precedent that giving towns county-owned land would set. Ò If every town wants property so they can turn it around to make a profit off it, then itÕ d put the county in further bad financial shape,Ó said Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston. Ò I think giving property away isnÕ t in the best interest unless itÕ s in extenuating circumstances.Ó North Elba Supervisor

Roby Politi said he had no problem with the transfer but questioned why Moriah didnÕ t put pressure on the previous owner by sending over a code enforcement officer to crack the whip. Ò It wasnÕ t easy to enforce,Ó shrugged Scozzafava. Ò We tried many times.

IÕ m sure behind the glittery main drag of Lake Placid, you have similar structures.Ó Ò I have no problem with it,Ó Politi conceded.

County Attorney Daniel Manning said the transfer was legal under New York State General Municipal Section 72H, a statute that allows counties to give county property to towns under se-

lect circumstances. Ò There are lots of situations where this may happen,Ó he said. Ò Each request for such transfers should be examined on a case-by-case basis with an eye towards what the municipality needs the property for.Ó Lewis Supervisor David Blades recommended that if Moriah ever did decide to sell the property Ñ Scozzafava said that wouldnÕ t happen Ñ then the town should give the county a percentage of the sale proceeds as a measure of goodwill. Ò I only mention that because this is what you requested me to do about 4-5 years ago when we were in

the same situation,Ó he said to Scozzafava.

The board formally voted to kick over the property to Moriah, who would then deed it in perpetuity to the water district, on Monday, April 7.

Preston and Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew voted against the transfer.

Trivia Night a success To the Times of Ti: Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties would like to thank the Lake Placid Rotary Club and its literacy committee for hosting another successful trivia night on April 1 at the Comfort Inn in Lake Placid. This fun-filled and friendly event brought more than 150 people together to raise much-needed funds for local literacy projects. Team Learned Lukers led by Bob Hanna claimed first place, followed by the Literacy Bombers led by Cheryl Schiller. After a tough tiebreaker, third place was awarded to team Maple Madness led by Sybil Quayle.

Literacy Volunteers is a charitable organization that enables people over the age of 16 to achieve personal goals through student-centered literacy tutoring. Literacy Volunteers and the adult learners we support benefit directly from the funds raised by the Rotary Club. Literacy is crucial to building strong communities. Without literacy, adults must follow others, wait for answers, and hope for opportunities. Literacy leads. It leads to employment, independence, and opportunities. It is the foundation of education, and when adults read, his or her children read.

When families read, our communities become more active and stronger.

Support from the Rotary Club ensures that our adult literacy programs continue to changes lives of residents in the Tri-Lakes region. We would not be able to deliver our effective and proven programs without their help.

Schroon food pantry moves to new home in old town hall Town water, parks departments also move SCHROON LAKE Ñ The Schroon Lake Food Pantry served nearly 5,000 people during 2013 — in a space not much larger than a closet.

ThatÕ s all changed, though.

The pantry has moved to a new location at the intersection of Broad and Fairfield streets, a building that housed the town hall until 1978 and the town fire company until 1989.

The food shelf now shares the 4,000 square-foot building with SchroonÕ s water and parks departments. Ò WeÕ re so happy,Ó said Lenchen Marnell, the pantryÕ s volunteer manager. Ò ItÕ s been 13 years in the cold and dark.

This is going to be very different; much better.Ó The pantry had been located in the basement of the Schroon Lake health center, which has no heat and no windows.

The new food pantry not only has heat and windows, it is handicap accessible, offers plenty of parking and has restrooms. Ò ItÕ s a big step up,Ó Schroon Supervisor Mike Marnell said. Ò This is a good project for the town. Not only does it help the food pantry, but our water and parks departments benefit, too.Ó The water and parks departments have about twice the space in their new homes as well as storage areas in the basement.

After the Schroon Lake Fire Department moved to a new home in 1989, the building was sold and used as a auto body shop for about eight years, Mike Marnell said. It then sat empty until the town purchased it for $155,000 about five years ago with the idea of moving the community library to the building.

That plan failed to materialize when state library mandates forced the cost of renovation to about $1 million, Supervisor Marnell said, more than the town could afford.

The cost to renovate the building for the food pantry, water and park use was $15,000, the supervisor said, with town employees doing most of the work. Ò Structurally, the building is in great shape,Ó he said.

The building that was home to the water and parks departments, located on Fairfield Street in a residential area, will likely be sold and returned to the tax roll, the supervisor said.

The Schroon Lake Food Pantry is open Tuesday and Thursday 10 a.m. to noon. For information people can call the town hall at 532-7737.

A report prepared by Lenchen Marnell shows 1,962 families, 3,261 adults, 1,350 children and 974 senior citizens received support from the pantry last year. Ò We certainly have about 25 percent more clients now compared to a couple of years ago, and the demand is increasing with every month, especially during the winter months,Ó she said.

November, December, January and February are peak months for the Schroon Lake Food Pantry. November was the busiest month with 570 adults, 157 citizen and 92 senior citizens getting assistance. Ò Thanks to the generosity of a lot of caring people in Schroon Lake and grant money from several places, the Schroon Lake Food Pantry is open and always had enough food to provide for everybody in need,Ó she said. Ò Thank you everybody, who helped in some way either by donating food, money or giving of their time.Ó In 2013 the Schroon Lake Food Pantry purchased nearly 42,000 pounds of food from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York in Latham. Food is delivered to the Schroon pantry twice a month. Ò We purchase two cases of milk from Tops Market every time we are open, sometimes meat, soups and side dishes,Ó Lenchen Marnell said. Ò The two deliveries per month are often no longer sufficient to feed everybody.Ó

The Schroon Lake Food Pantry, led by Lenchen Marnell, has moved to a new location at the intersection of Broad and Fairfield streets. The pantry’s new home is a building that housed the town hall until 1978 and the town fire company until 1989. The food shelf now shares the 4,000 square foot building with Schroon’s water and parks departments.

Blue Star Memorial Garden to be re-dedicated April 26

CROWN POINT — The Blue Star Memorial Garden near the Crown Point Bridge information building will be re-dedicated on Saturday, April 26, at 10 a.m.

The garden was refurbished in June 2013 and replanted with new bushes and perennial plants as well as over 100 daffodil bulbs by members of the Carillon Garden Club of Ticonderoga.

The dedication ceremony is being planned by the Carillon Garden Club and will include representatives from the VFW, the American Legion, town officials and club members. The public is also encouraged to attend.

The Blue Star signs and gardens program was started by the National Garden Club shortly after World War II to honor all veterans who had served. Today, Blue Star signs serve to remember the sacrifices of veterans and their families who have served our country in the past as well as those who continue to serve today and those who will serve in the future. Men and women in all branches of the armed services are honored with the display of the Blue Star sign and garden.

Call Betty Rettig, club co-president, at 585-7247 for more information.

CROWN POINT Ñ The Crown Point justice court has been searching for a home since 2009, moving from building to building in the community.

When a giant pine tree fell during a summer storm last year, damaging the Knapp Senior Center, Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington thought it would be a perfect time to utilize insurance money and a grant from the state justice court system. Repairs to the Knapp building, which include major improvements to the interior of the building, including insulation, lights and knotty pine, led to space for a permanent justice court location.

On April 24 the town court will be held at the Knapp Senior Center, located on 9N, in the center of town.

The building is used for senior meals twice a week, is a weekly site for AA meetings and will be available for state and federal outreach meetings.

Crown Point citizens are also able to utilize the building for family celebration events. Ò It makes much more sense to have our court right in the center of town,Ó said Harrington. Ò ThereÕ s plenty of parking and the design of the building will allow for a much more organized court system.Ó Students in Crown Point Central SchoolÕ s technology class assisted in reshaping the center into what will be the new justice court. With the guidance of industrial arts teacher John Lemieux, six students designed the new justice bench and installed it in a dedicated room inside the Knapp building.

Further renovations are planned and will be coupled with an anticipated historic district designation.

In the Black!

I

t was a gentle incline, not all that noticeable, but my shins were telling me a different story. My shins hurt like I just walked up 99 floors of a 100 story building. And I was only half way through the course. ItÕ s the usual pain in the beginning. This is not my first time here.

I said to Frank who was walking with me: “my sister

By Rich Redman died of lung cancer two years ago and I do the pack test for her now, just to let her know I am still off the buttsÓ! I looked up at the overcast sky and asked her if she was watching, to give us a little push to help us along.

Frank was carrying a heavier pack and I figured he could use a little help too. HeÕ s young and really didnÕ t need it. As for me, IÕ ll take all the help I can get. We crossed the finish line in 43 min, 10 seconds; we beat the clock once again.

The Work Capacity Test (WCT) or pack test is carrying a 45 pound pack on a three mile hike in less than 45 minutes to qualify for out of state forest fire crews. Every wildland firefighter needs to complete the pack test, every year, if they want to be an out of state firefighter. This endurance test separates the men from the boys, as they say. Your competition is with yourself! What it boils down to is that you need to be in shape, and after a long winter like this past one, that is not easy.

Fire fighters wanting to go out of state must complete both the refresher and the pack test, while in state fire firefighters just need the refresher course.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers teach the Annual Fireline Refresher training course throughout the state every year. Training for our area was held in Warrensburg on Saturday March 29 and April 3 in Ray Brook; both at the DEC regional headquarters.

This year’s Warrensburg fire crew involved thirteen of us. DEC Rangers included J. Giginto, B.Lomnitzer, B. Baldwin, M. Thompson, J. LaPierre, Lt. S. Preston, J. Maxfield, J. Martin, J. Deslauriers, and J. Haker. Volunteer fire department members included North Queensbury Firefighter Frank Denardo, Moriah’s Assistant Chief Ed Roberts, and Captain R. Redman. NYS DEC Fire Warden, Ed. Robbins, a 49 year veteran as a warden also attended. He said next year will be his last, with 50 years in. A Mineville Firefighter, Matt Vincent took his training in Ray Brook.

The course involves fire fighter safety as the number one priority. Fire fighter personal protective gear and equipment are covered, along with radio use. Training also includes fuel types, wind, temperature, relative humidity and other weather conditions that affect fire behavior. Topography such as aspect, slope, saddles and chimneys and all parts of mountainous terrain, are covered in detail to show how fire conditions can change rapidly on a fire scene.

This yearÕ s priority was on L.C.E.S., which stands for Lookouts, Communication, Escape Routes and Safety Areas.

Lookouts are the eyes of the crew. They are usually perched in a high spot where they can see all of the fire. They communicate back to the fire crews and the command center, what and where the fire is doing or going. Any fire changes can be spotted and relayed back to the crews immediately.

Communication is always the weak link in firefighting, whether itÕ s structural or wildland operations. A failure to communicate can lead to injuries or death. Keeping every firefighter informed to weather conditions, command strategy changes, fuel changes (as the fire progresses), terrain changes, and fire behavior is vital.

Fire fighters have died when they were caught by surprise due to changing wind conditions, because no one notified crews of incoming storm fronts.

Escape routes are just that. They are preplanned, marked out routes that allow firefighters to escape to safety. If weather conditions such as a wind change occurs causing a change in fire behavior, the firefighters can follow the route to their preplanned safety area.

Safety areas are located where there is minimal, or no fuels that can burn, such as a log landing that has been cleared, a rocky area void of trees and bushes, a roadway, or in the black, a burned off area devoid of any fuels where fire fighters can wait out the fire without utilizing their fire shelter.

Being “in the black” is the safest place to be. The safety area must be large enough to hold the crew and keep them safe, based on flame height and fuels involved in the fire.

Field exercises included the pack test plus the use of a fire shelter. Every firefighter must be able to deploy a fire shelter in a proper manner in seconds to pass the course.

The fire shelter is a last ditch, last resort safety effort that no firefighter wants to get into the position to use. If you need to deploy your shelter something went wrong; really wrong. All wildland firefighters carry an emergency shelter, Including engine, tender drivers and other heavy equipment operators.

In an emergency the firefighter can deploy their shelters by shaking them open

and crawling inside. Once inside, they lay flat on the ground with their feet towards the oncoming fire. They keep their gloves, helmets and shrouds on to protect their head and their mouths are close to the ground where the air is cooler to help protect their airways. One breath of heated air can scorch the lungs and close off the airway.

Hugging the ground, you wait until the fire passes. You don’t leave your shelter until the fire danger is over.

The shelter is designed to reflect radiant heat away. The shelter is composed of three layers. An outside layer of foil reflects the radiant heat away, then there is fire resistant material and a second foil layer to further reflect heat away from the firefighter, inside the cocoon like shelter. These shelters are nicknamed Òs hake and bakesÓ, because you resemble a baked potato wrapped up in foil.

The last thing any firefighter wants to do is bake in one though.

This is serious business and I am not making fun of it.

Radios and computers have changed over the years, but it is still the yellow shirted, green pants and fire boot ground pounding grunts that put out the wildland fires and protect the surrounding houses in the event of a wildland urban interface fire.

The proud history and tradition of forest firefighting goes back to guys like Wagner Dodge, Ed Pulaski and even ÒS mokey the Bear” as a forest fire symbol. Numerous wildland firefighters have died in fires with names like Mann Gulch, the Dude Fire and the South Canyon fire. They are remembered no differently than the 343 Firefighters that died at the Twin Towers.

Firefighting is a dangerous job. Whether it’s a structural fire like the one in Boston where two Brothers recently lost their lives or the 19 Granite Mountain Hot Shots in the Yarnell Fire in 2013 in Arizona, the danger is always there.

We canÕ t be complacent and think it wonÕ t happen to us; because it does! That is why we train and retrain and donÕ t stop training and learning.

This article is dedicated to Boston Fire Fighters, Lt Edward Walsh, Michael Kennedy and those 19 Granite Mountain Hot Shots!

Moriah FD Continued from page 1 Young members are the key to the Moriah FDÕ s future, Michener believes. Ò I really wonÕ t call it a shortage of volunteers in our department,Ó he said. Ò I would say itÕ s more of not having the younger generation getting involved.Ó Michener said local firefighters are welcoming and will assist recruits any way possible.

“Being a Moriah Volunteer firefighter is being part of a great family and community,Ó he said.

Michener said the fire company has planned several events for the open house. Ò We will have a couple of displays inside which will be of our turnout gear, wild land gear and some of our tools we use on scene,Ó he said. Ò We will also be doing a live demonstration of how our portable pond system works with our pumper. The community will also be able to take a tour of both of our stations.Ó The Essex County Sheriff Department will also take part and provide child safety seat checks and distribute Ò Safe Child IDÓ cards.

Lobster Tank: My personal ‘Run for Hope’ started in Utah

could hardly breathe at 340.

That was the way I felt nine months ago when I was out in Utah. You may think it was because I was running or exerting myself in some way and just another case of trying to adjust to being Ò at altitude.Ó What if I told you, instead, I was driving a car on cruise control. I was lying down trying to go to sleep. Watching television. Things that require the most minimal of physical exertion.

A couple of people over the last couple months have asked me why I started to focus on my health, a journey that led me to the base of Spruce Hill Saturday, March 22, competing in the 34th Annual Doc Lopez Run For Hope’s 13.1-mile half marathon. Seriously, from not being able to breathe watching television to running up a very steep hill, which was only two of the total miles.

Well, that Ò Lovely DeseretÓ experience really was the point where it happened. Before I headed out to Utah in July of last year, I weighed 340-lbs.

I know I didnÕ t get any lighter out there, just more out of breath. ItÕ s something that I have told no one until now, not even my wife. Although she is the one person who gets to hear me breathe up close.

ThatÕ s when I decided I could no longer live like that and I needed to make a change. It had to be serious and committed. I had been walking and talking about this with former Denton employee and current Lake Placid News editor Andy Flynn, who has also been tracking his weight loss journey in his respective newspaper, but I was never able to kick it into the next gear, not until that trip to Utah.

One thing that helped was an acquisition we had made as a family right before we went on our vacation. Every morning from late July until December, you could find me walking the streets of Westport with my sonÕ s new best friend, Rooney, a rowdy mutt we adopted from the North Country SPCA. During the summer, we would often walk twice a day, in the morning and again in the

evening. While the walks got more sparse during the coldest weather of the year and are now becoming frequent again with the spring, the fact remains that the dog has to be walked every day and it benefits all six of our legs.

Lunchtime walks also became more frequent and more intense. I would walk from work to the footbridge and around Elizabethtown every day I was working out of the office. There were even days where I would take the dog for a third walk when I went home for lunch.

As those walks progressed and the scale numbers started with a 2 instead of 3, one walk a day turned into a run. Not too far at first, but gradually building.

There was the classic setback known as the holidays, where the scales tipped the wrong way for about a month, which is why, as I was walking past the Essex County Public Health Department building one day, I decided that I needed a new goal, a big one, and the idea was born to participate in the Run For Hope.

So little one mile runs became three mile runs.

Then four. Then five. Times also started to go down. On my treadmill, I got to where I could do five miles in an hour (I’ll let you figure out the speed - I told my daughter this equation once and she gave me a blank stare for about one minute until it sunk in). I then kept that pace for six and seven miles.

After my treadmill decided to have Ò issues,Ó and the weather started to be above single digits, I got back outside where I learned a few things like running north on Camp Dudley Road stinks with constant uphills but running south on it always means a 20-mph head wind. However, that also meant a 20-mph tailwind on Stevenson Road. I also learned that I could do that nine-mile loop in less than two hours, another time that kept getting lower.

Then came the big day last Saturday. I really had two main goals. The first was to always be jogging, while the second was to cross the finish

line in less that two hours and 40 minutes. I never changed my pace (although it did get slower on the hill) and finished in a time of 2:27:23 (check the results page! Top 10 in my age division! I know it was out of 10, just give me this moment).

My pace was under 12 minutes per mile, quicker than my goal pace on the treadmill. Mission accomplished.

So now, my family is getting ready to go back to Utah in three months. I will again hardly be able to breathe in the lighter air, but this time it will be while I am running The Timp half marathon in Lehi or working out with my daughter as she prepares for BYU soccer camp.

For those other activities, I plan to breathe a little easier.

Oh, and if we were to leave today, I would also be doing it at 240.
