MORIAH

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Longserving Ticonderoga English teacher Deborah BreitenbachÕ s life was celebrated Friday, April 25, at Ticonderoga High School and additionally in a memorial service the following afternoon.

Breitenbach, 60, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, April 22, the day students returned to school from their spring break vacation.

Breitenbach, a 35 year veteran teacher, taught 12th grade English at the school. She also served as an advisor for the National Honor Society and coached the schoolÕ s nationally auspicious Academic Bowl team. Ò Deb made Ticonderoga her hometown,Ó said Rev. Bruce Tamlyn. Ò She was a great person to be with and wholehearted is the best word I can think of to describe her. After 35 years of teaching her subject was English, but she taught life.Ó Deborah led two generations of Ticonderoga students to collegiate and career ascendancy. She provided support, direction and encouragement to colleagues, staff and friends. Ò One of the things about Deb I will miss most are her notes,Ó Superintendent John McDonald said. Ò She would leave notes of inspiration, humor or quotes all the time. The day I found out about DebÕ s passing I was in Albany accepting my Doctorate.

Of anyone, she was the person I was most looking forward to telling.

Power play: IP teams with NYPA for energy savings TICONDEROGA Ñ International Paper Õ s Ticonderoga Mill and the State of New York are partnering to keep energy bills low.

The New York Power Authority and executives at the Mill joined together to announce a new partnership through the ReCharge NY program, created by Gov. Andrew CuomoÕ s administration to support business growth by providing low-cost power.

The mill will also be the beneficiary of financial

awards of $1 million and $750,000, respectively, from Empire State Development, (ESD) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), to support the $11.4 million conversion of the facilityÕ s power boiler and lime kiln from No. 6 fuel oil to natural gas.

Officials said by allocating 7.8 megawatts of low cost power, the state would be helping to support $100 million in capital improvements at the mill along with helping to retain the 600 existing jobs at the facility.

Ti students prep for AP tests TICONDEROGA Ñ Students in Advanced Placement English at Ticonderoga High School are gearing up for the annual examinations.

Seniors will be tested in Literature and Composition and juniors in Language and Composition.

Seniors are finishing their study of Ò HamletÓ by completing a Ò Fever ChartÓ to interpret HamletÕ s madness.

Juniors are presenting their argument research papers to show their skills in making an argument and convincing others to agree.

More than 50 English students will challenge themselves with the two college credit courses. Almost 40 percent of the class of 2014 is enrolled in the 12th grade AP class this year.

BeldenÕ s English 11 students are taking on the great issues of the day and trying to use their best arguments to convince their classmates to agree. This is in preparation for their Advanced Placement English examination where they will have to mount a convincing argument on paper for the more than 500 college professors who read and

score the AP exams each year.

Topics range from animal testing to cell phones dangers to the Affordable Care Act. Students research topics thoroughly, take a stance, and then compose an argumentation paper that employs the rhetorical strategies under study. Finally, they create a multi media presentation that highlights their assertions for their classmates. Not only does this activity serve as a reinforcement tool in further understanding the art of persuasion, but it also exposes students to a wide array of important world issues.

BeldenÕ s 25 students have been preparing all year for both the New York State Regents examination and the Advanced Placement examination, two high stakes tests that have little in common. However, these Ticonderoga juniors successfully completed the New York State test in January and are almost ready for the more rigorous, demanding three hour AP test.

The Advanced Placement English program allows high school students to receive college credit.

Race against the rails Y

es, we are a reactionary society, yelling at the top of our lungs about what is happening right now.

That is why, in the midst of the Donald Sterling backlash and all of the usual outrage that accompanies what has become the Annual American Racist Story, the train derailment and subsequent fire that rocked Lynchburg, Virginia on April 30 has gone under reported.

This is really something that we in the North Country need to pay attention to.

In that incident, 13 tanker cars derailed and three fell into the James River. The resulting fireball spewed hazardous oil into the natural landscape, an area graced by the pristine Blue Ridge Mountains, and caused an immediate environmental concern. An unspecified amount of oil leaked into the river, potentially upsetting the ecosystem.

The rail cars involved were the same type that were carrying crude in the Lac-Megantic spill that killed 47 and leveled most of a town last year in Quebec.

These cars were also involved in spills in Alabama, North Dakota and New Brunswick.

In the North Country, we sit very close, if not on top of, the epicenter for East Coast rail transportation of this crude oil. Trainloads come through Canada on their way to downstate refineries, including one at the Port of Albany.

They travel along our riverways and lakeshores in DOT-111 containers that have recently been outlawed by the Canadian government. These single-wall cars were not even designed to carry crude oil.

Some of them pass within yards of shorelines, homes and businesses, many through unmarked intersections rife with blind spots.

Even with a ban on these cars, which have been proven to be accident-prone and unsafe, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported 14 of the 17 cars involved in the Lynchburg accident were built Ò to a higher standard voluntarily adopted by the industry in 2011.Ó Good news, right?

Wrong. The NTSB and the railroad industry believe these cars are also not built well enough for crude oil transportation.

In Albany County, lawmakers have placed a moratorium on the growth of rail facilities shipping crude oil, seeking to initiate a study of their health impacts and following last weekÕ s incident, County Executive Daniel McCoy doubled down on his intent to keep his countryÕ s residents safe and called on the federal government to take im-

mediate action.

We agree action needs to be taken, and now.

Recently, the railway operator responsible for shipping the crude told the Essex County Board of Supervisors they were working closely with local officials in drafting emergency response plans in the event of an accident.

This meeting came after area residents noticed an uptick in rail traffic speeding through the North Country.

The meeting left some supervisors still questioning what would happen if there was a spill due to a derailment and what could be done to prevent them from happening.

Since then, Canadian Pacific has made efforts to bone up on facilitating a smoother communication process with local officials. They have offered to fly officials out for training and have shared information that they were previously sluggish in providing.

For that, we applaud them for their outreach and attentiveness to the residents of the region.

Following their responsiveness, the first thing the federal government needs to do as it awaits a pending report from the Department of Transportation is to follow in CanadaÕ s footsteps, take a page from their playbook and ban DOT-111 cars from our railways.

They have proven to be ineffective in transporting crude oil and very dangerous, fatally so, in derailment situations.

The federal government and railway companies need to come together to design and create a new generation of rail cars that will make this transportation as safe as possible.

At the same time, the companies who own the tanker cars need to step to the plate. We know after looking at our heating bills these companies have the money to invest in safety considerations.

Local communities also must get involved, working with their towns, counties and state emergency management services to have a plan in place in case a spill happens in their community.

There are very few towns in the Adirondacks that do not have railways running through them, many times through populated hamlets, along agricultural land or along waterways.

If these things do not happen, we fear it is just a matter of time before we are talking about a train derailment that dumps thousands of gallons of crude into Lake Champlain or an explosion causing the evacuation of areas of Plattsburgh.

Or worse. Ñ Denton Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

To the Times of Ti: I would like to take this opportunity to give big Thank You to all of the teachers and other school staff from both Ticonderoga Schools and St. MaryÕ s who volunteered to work at McTeachers Night on April 8. Whether you were making fries, taking & filling orders, working in the drive thru, or clearing and cleaning tables, thank you, thank you, thank you. I would also like to thank everyone who worked so hard to get this organized and to recruit so many able volunteers. Without your efforts, this never would have happened.

The McTeachers Night was a fundraiser for the Kiwanissponsored Ticonderoga Area BackPack Program.The backpack program provides additional food and nutrition to local area children by sending them home for the weekend with backpacks filled with shelf-stable, easily prepared foods.

I would also like to thank everyone who came out to McDonaldÕ s that night in support of this effort. The evening was a huge success. Scott Hearburg reported a record volume of sales between 5 and 6 p.m. In addition to your food orders, there also were cash donations of almost $200. Thank you so much.

Lastly, but most certainly not least, I want to thank Scott and Robin Hearburg for their most generous continuing support of the Backpack Program. Once again, they have donated their restaurant for to support a worthy cause in our community. This McTeachers Night raised $1,500 for the benefit of the program and local kids!

Thanks again to everyone involved with the McTeachers Night who made this such a big success. We thank you, but the kids and their familyÕ s thank you even more!

We deserve better To the Times of Ti: The 4-26-14 issue of The Burgh has an editorial about fracking that demonstrates how a lapse in knowledge does much to devalue any opinion offered. Most of us learned in seventh grade the difference between an antidote and an anecdote. Incorrect use of

Dan Alexander From page 6 decisions and choices that become a part of who we become as individual. Since no two people are the same, trying to place people into labeled categories only serves to discourage individual achievement.

Life on this earth holds no guarantee for any of us. True fairness and judgment, in my opinion, simply can not hap-

pen in this world until we are completely blind to color and race. The herd can stampede all it wants, but no individual or government will ever be able to ensure 100 percent racial fairness in all things.

Instead, each of us must look in the mirror and know that only we hold the ability to do our very best at each endeavor in which we choose to participate. How we respect each other is generally in direct re-

antidote, including once in quotes and once as Òan tidotallyÓ might easily be dismissed, but when we see ÒE ditorial BoardÓ at the end, we must wonder how many eyes scanned this work and approved it as it stands. The fracking issue deserves better treatment, and using the GOP tactic calling for the governor to be Òt he adult in the roomÓ improperly implies some level of immaturity, making the statement irrelevant and improper. Some proposed practices allow for time to consider potential negative outcomes, while others demand more immediate action. Clearly, the towns and cities in New York that have declared themselves to be off limits to fracking and its poisonous byproducts have few doubts concerning the damage potential.

The Burgh editorial muddies the water with a reference to GM, stating that there are a Òh andfulÓ of deaths due to an Òal legedÓ ignition issue is a shameful disregard of the facts, and a horrible disrespect for the families who lost loved ones because of devious corporate practice. If anything, that issue and the spinach/ecoli comment are glaring examples of the need for government as watchdog and protector of the people. When free-reign capitalism kills citizens, the press should be informative, not dismissive and skeptical. The apparent feeling of the editorial board is that when property becomes uninhabitable because of fracking, the residents only need relocate, problem solved? How Scrooge-like! I would offer that it makes more sense to get someone more considerate and responsible writing editorials, not someone who boosts corporate mythology over the lives and well-being of fellow citizens.

Scholarship tournament a success

by Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

MORIAH Ñ Local basketball players laced up their sneakers and took to the Moriah Central court to raise funds for the Brian T. Carpenter Memorial Scholarship.

The tournament was held May 3-4 in the Moriah school gym. Ò The tournament was a huge success,Ó said Matthew Brassard, event coordinator. Ò We ended up with six teams playing.Ó

May 10, 2014

After two days of double elimination play, Nate GilboÕ s yellow team took home the title of champions. Tournament MVP was Eric Leclair. Ò Jimmy Baker and I would like to thank Deanna Coburn, Kim Whalen, Katie Brassard, Landen Brassard, Carrie Popp, Jim Carlson, Ryan Shpur, Jill Shpur, Tyler, Regan and Natasha Pratt, Donny, Jennifer and Bard Tesar, Jake Taylor, Jamie Burris, Landon Cross, Chirs Gumlaw, Lloyd Lamotte, Gary Wykes, Moriah Cental School and everyone who came out to support this event,Ó said Brassard.

MINEVILLE Ñ The Mineville branch of Champlain Valley Educational Services, a technical school with 81 students, held its spring open house April 30.

According to Dr. Grace Stay, principal, in addition to showcasing the program to prospective students, the event, Ò provides parents of our programs an opportunity to come and meet with the teachers, see how their kids have been doing, and look at the projects that the kids have been working on.Ó The program is primarily made up of high school students, according to Kevin Donoghue, school counselor, with only three post-graduates at the Mineville location. Ò We actually do have posthigh school students here and weÕ ll be expanding on that in the future,Ó Donoghue said.

The school has had a positive impact on many pupils, according to the counselor. Ò IÕ ve seen students who have struggled in school,Ó Donoghue said. Ò They come here and they find something theyÕ re really good at and interested in. They find something that fits their personality and their natural abilities and they get high grades.Ó Stay struck a similar note. Ò We have some students who come here who struggle in high school, who hate school,Ó the principal said. Ò They get here and itÕ s a much more hands on opportunity for them.Ó The Mineville branch boasts small class sizes, according to

the principal, with the smallest having a teacher-to-student ratio of 6-1 and the largest having a ratio of 10-1.

Emily Simard, 18, graduates this year from the cosmetology program. Ò You make new friends and family,Ó Simard said of the experience. Ò And I love to do hair.Ó Among other things, graduating from the program will allow her to work with a temporary license.

Mike Flack, 17, graduates this year from the law enforcement program. Ò My grandfather worked for the Ti police department so IÕ ve always kind of just wanted to follow in his footsteps,Ó Flack said. Ò I want to go out and protect people and do my part in the community.Ó Students can get their security guard certificates through the program and graduates receive a leg-up in police department hiring processes, Flack said.

Ò Everybody just looks at us differently. If we were to apply to a police department it just gives us that much edge that weÕ ve been through the class and had previous training,Ó he said.

CVES as a whole has seen a recent increase in enrollment, which Stay attributes to the poor economy. Ò Kids who are unsure about college are even more unsure about the commitment of the expense,Ó Stay said, adding that graduating from the CVES program gave students immediate entry into higherpaying jobs.

However, the Mineville branch has not seen a similar growth in enrollment. Ò Part of the problem is that the local districts are losing enrollment,Ó Stay said. Ò All the schools are struggling financially as well. So theyÕ re not able to allow as many students to attend because of their own budget restrictions.Ó

Mike Flack, 17, and Carolyn Simard, 16, are studying security and law enforcement at the Mineville branch of Champlain Valley Educational Services.

New church steeple risen over Main St.

Superintendent resigns

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen

By Keith Lobdell

SCHROON Ñ On April 29, the Community Church elevated a new steeple built by local community and church members.

In late 2012 the former steeple tumbled to the ground in a blustery storm. Ò The steeple came down and was in pieces,Ó Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said. Ò I found it down in the snow (pointing to the sidewalk on the north side of the church).Ó The former steeple was set into place in 2001 with help from local community member Tom Erikson. He was in attendance as the new steeple was set onto the same pedestal that he aided in building. Ò We put up the old one,Ó said Erikson. Ò The problem was the wood up there was rotted through. We didnÕ t have any of this stuff here (referencing the hydraulic cherry picker). We did it with scaffolding on one side of the building and a few ladders. I painted that steeple three or four times with gold paint but after a few years it was worn.Ó Erikson also said the upper portions of the church, dedicated in 1845, were fabricated from wooden beams taken from a local barn. Ò In 1951 the old Methodist church was taken down, the stained glass windows were used here in the back of the church,Ó Erikson said. Ò There was no heat in that church. What they used to do was take the organ from here and wheel it down main street for the summer to the Methodist church, and back down here for the winter.Ó A few individuals contributed to the building and design of the new steeple. They included Dave Insull, Chuck Glinsman and Pete Johnson. It was fabricated by these men at the Ò wood shopÓ in PeteÕ s house.

SCHROON Ñ The threeyear tenure of Schroon Lake Central Superintendent Bonnie Finnerty is coming to an unexpected end in August.

Finnerty, who was hired at the start of the 2011-12 school year, resigned from the position, citing Ò personal/health reasons.Ó Members of the Board of Education accepted the resignation at the April 24 meeting.

Her leave takes effect Aug. 1. Ò I have had three outstanding years at Schroon Lake and this is an absolutely fantastic district,Ó Finnerty said. Ò The faculty and staff are extremely professional and very hard

working and they always strive to do what is right for the kids.Ó Before coming to Schroon, Finnerty was the Middle School Principal in the Oswego School District.

She said the school board has already started preliminary discussions into where they will go from here with its chief administrator position. Ò They are going to be looking at all of the options and having more discussions at upcoming board meetings,Ó Finnerty said.

As far as the potential of a shared-service administrator, a topic that has previously been rumored in a partnership with schools like Keene, Finnerty said the board is weighing all options. Ò One option is the possibility of a shared superintendent,Ó she said. Ò These are still very preliminary talks about the options that exist.Ó

Breed looks back through the years through the pages of new book

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ In her sixth book, Jean Arleen Breed continues to chronicle the history of the area she calls home. Ò Sweet Memories,Ó is a compilation of photography and poems that bring the past of places like Crown Point, Port Henry, Moriah, Mineville, Grover Hills and the Golden Eagles.

Breed said the process for this book, the sixth she has published in the last four years, took about one year. Ò I have spent the last year gathering the 170 photos in this book, doing research, interviewing people and writing all the poems,Ó she said. Ò I worked so hard on this book searching out pictures and scanning them in for the last year and I am so very pleased with the outcome.Ó To celebrate, Breed will be holding a book signing at the Sherman Free Library in Port Henry Saturday, May 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Proceeds from the signing (the book retails at $15) will be donated to St. PatrickÕ s Church in

Port Henry to help pay the heating and energy bills. Ò We all know what happened to those bills over the past winter,Ó Breed said.

Breed said a lot of the new book is based on requests she has received. Ò I will be out at sales and events and people will come up to me and ask for certain things to be in the next book,Ó Breed said. Ò I had one person come up to me and say that out of my five books, none of them had any deer, so this book has a lot of classic hunting pictures.Ó Area churches, historical sites, boats and people also are found throughout the pages, along with poetry. Ò The poetry is special because it is about the places where I grew up and know well,Ó Breed said.

Putting together the six books has been a joy for Breed, who enjoys delving into the history of the region. Ò It is so important to get our history down,Ó she said. “It is so much fun to go out and find these things, and I love doing it.Ó

Jean Breed will be signing her latest book, “Sweet Memories,” at the Sherman Free Library May 10.

Crown Point state historic site prepares for summer, birding seasons CROWN POINT Ñ Crown Point State Historic Site opens for the 2014 season on May 10, the same day that bird banding begins at the volunteer banding station on the siteÕ s grounds.

Both Crown Point State Historic Site and nearby Fort Ticonderoga will open May 10 this year. Opening weekend marks the 239th anniversary of the Green Mountain BoysÕ seizure, from the British military, of the fort ruins and their many cannon on May 10 (Ticonderoga) and May 11 (Crown Point) in 1775.

The museum at Crown Point State Historic Site contains a high-definition audio-visual show, models of both Frenchbuilt Fort St. FrŽ dŽ ric (1734-59) and of Crown PointÕ s British fort (1759-73), and many artifacts found on-site by means of archeological research.

The museum is open Thursdays through Mondays, from 9:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Both of the fort ruins at Crown Point are Registered National Historic Landmarks.

The Crown Point Bird Banding Association will host its 39th annual bird banding event on May 10 through May 24 at the Crown Point State Historic Site. Bird banding is an effort to identify and track different species of migra-

tory birds that pass through the region every year, so as to better collect ecological data and improve conservation efforts. The public is invited to visit the station during daylight hours.

A Bird Conservation Area is located on the spacious grounds of Crown Point State Historic Site at the tip of the Crown Point peninsula, just south of the bridge to Vermont. Jutting northward into Lake Champlain, the peninsula serves as a migrant trap in spring, concentrating waves of northbound birds in thickets west of the British fort ruin. The State Historic Site is a designated Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society.

As many as 27 different species of colorful warblers are seen at this banding station each May. Visitors are invited to stop at the B.C.A. interpretive kiosk on the left side of the entry road to view a map showing the location of the bird banding station, proceed to the main parking lot, then continue on foot, first west to the barns and then south.

Many thousands of birds Ð over 100 species Ð have been banded there in the years since the station opened in 1976.

For more information, please contact master bander Gordon Howard of the Crown Point Banding Association at ghoward@clemson.edu.

he North Country SCPA would like to announce a joint Adoption Day with Tri-Lakes Humane Society on Saturday, May 17 at The Oval in Lake Placid! WeÕ ll have plenty of dogs and cats available to adopt, fun for the kids, and other entertainment to make it an event worth attending. WSLP 93.3 FM will be broadcasting for the event. We are sure it will be a day of excitement that you wonÕ t want to miss!

Our featured pet this week is Dallas, a Plott Hound/Greyhound-mix who is one of 6 pups we rescued from a shelter with a high-kill rate in North Carolina. This little guy has a tremendous personality - he is gorgeous and goofy and will win you over with his smiles and antics.

Dallas is a typical hound and will need a home where he can stretch his long legs and get plenty of exercise. He gets along well with other dogs but we havenÕ t had the opportunity to see how he does with cats. We are sure Dallas will make the right person very, very happy! Why not stop by and meet him today?

Lake Champlain Fish & Game

B

Ice free and tick bound

B

y now, most local lakes and ponds have been free of ice for at least a week or more. However, it appears the winter season prefers to linger a little longer, with occasional flurries still being reported, while water temperatures remain cool in the 40Õ s and low 50Õ s.

Cold rains have combined with snowmelt to keep the rivers and streams running high and cold, and as a result, the fish have been slow to take.

The Boquet, as well as the Ausable were flowing heavy with whitewater over the weekend.

One angler I met joked, ÒM aybe I shouldÕ ve left my ski poles in the truck.Ó Water temperatures on the ponds have been slow to warm as well, and frustrated trout anglers have been voicing their frustrations. ÒI Õ ve never seen it so slow at ice outÓ, a veteran angler recently explained, ÒU sually, I could count on taking a few home by now but I havenÕ t had a bite in two full days on the water.Ó I recently spent time scouting a few of the local streams and rivers, but after dealing the conditions; I decided to let the fish rest. I don’t like to fish for frustration, it’s too easy to catch.

Despite the long winter, itÕ s still early yet, and thereÕ s no rush. Although trilliums are already blooming in the Champlain Valley, there were still pockets of snow and ice on Cobble Hill when I climbed recently.

Traditionally, Mothers Day weekend has been the best spring date for fishing on the ponds, and Father’s Day has often proven to be the best on the streams and rivers.

In reality, when it comes to fishing, there’s never really a bad time to get out.

Good hikes and Grand

Although I didnÕ t participate in the recent Grand Hike hosted by the Champlain Area Trail System last weekend, I did have the opportunity to scramble to the summit of South Boquet Mountain late one afternoon, with my kid sister in tow.

The small, easily accessible summit provided big vistas, both to the east across Lake Champlain and west towards the High Peaks. It is just one of the many marvelous small summits that have been incorporated into the CATS trail network.

The organization has produced a wonderful map of their

trail network, which can be found online at www.champlainareatrails.com It is also available free in many local stores.

Ticked Off

The short jaunt we chose to finish off the day also provided a few unwanted rewards, which my sister discovered following the hike when she discovered three ticks on her.

Fortunately, I was tick free this time, although I recently found ticks on me after hiking around Elizabethtown the previous weekend.

Lyme disease is caused by the bite of infected ticks, which are most active during the spring and early summer and again in the fall.

Although the prevalence of Lyme Disease is nowhere near as common in the North Country as it is downstate, it never hurts to take a few precautions to avoid ticks, and the diseases they can carry.

Black-legged ticks that carry the pathogen for Lyme disease are commonly found in forested and field habitats, and particularly where these habitats meet.

However, ticks can be found in many different habitats, including residential lawns adjacent to wooded areas.

Black-legged ticks are considered a primary carrier (vector) of Lyme disease, which was first discovered in the late 1970s, in Lyme Connecticut.

White-footed mice are considered a primary carrier of ticks, as are varying hares, both of which are common in the Adirondacks.

However, ticks can also hitch a ride with any warm blooded species including humans, birds, deer and dogs.

Hunters and hikers, who often sit on the forest floor, are most venerable to ticks, as are kids who play in the fields.

The easiest method to combat the affliction is to avoid getting bit in the first place. This can be accomplished by limiting the access to the skin by tucking pants into socks, and shirts into pants.

When traveling in brushy and grassy areas, wear light colored clothing, which makes it easier to spot ticks, spray repellant around pant and shirt cuffs and always check for ticks after outings.

If a tick is found, use tweezers to remove it and check for telltale signs of infection such as rashes.

Three out of four victims report a bullÕ s eye-shaped red rash after being bitten, which can last for several days or weeks.

ack in December of 1956, the 6th day of the month actually, nine guys from Moriah got together and signed the paperwork to incorporate the newly formed Lake Champlain Fish and Game Club.

The clubÕ s goal was to encourage and promote activities which result in civic improvement, promote and foster better fishing and hunting and to aid the conservation department in

By Rich Redman upholding and enforcing the fish and game laws. This lofty goal was not just for the residents of Port Henry or Moriah, but they welcomed members to join from throughout Essex County and the States of New York and Vermont.

Talking to one of the seasoned veterans of the area, I was given some great history and stories about the good times and events the club once had. Frank told me about the dances and parties that were given that would bring out droves of people from around the area.

He told me that when the rock and roll music era came, he could hear all the Ò hippyÓ music throughout the neighborhood and the cars were parked all up and down the road.

Things werenÕ t just about having fun. The club was involved in Pheasant stocking with the conservation department back then.

Moriah, like many areas had many more farm fields and small hay and grain operations, so habitat was everywhere.

In order to raise the birds, they needed cages or some sort of building.

Luckily, a local volunteer from Moriah Center came forward and offered his old cow barn to use. The club raised pheasants for release throughout the county. Frank told me about one day when the door to the barn got left open and the birds escaped, he said you could see dozens of pheasants perched up on the railroad cars that were used during the mining days. He said he wished he had a picture of that site.

That old cow and pheasant barn was torn down, recycled and slowly retrofitted into what now is the club house on Whitney Street.

Pheasants werenÕ t the only conservation project the guys were involved in. Stocking Trout and Walleye were also big events for members. Local brooks and the lake itself were stocked by club members and the conservation department. All part of the original clubs goal.

Walleye were stocked along the piers and docks made of concrete because the conservation department said the algae and moss growing on the sides of the walls were what the young fish ate and could hide in. Manmade habitat!

Here it is 58 years later and the club is still up and running, not at full speed however. Like many organizations, volunteers and members have dwindled. Slowly over time, things fell into a state of disrepair and maintenance is needed. Vandalism has also hurt. An organization is only as good as the folks involved.

The future of the Lake Champlain Fish and Game Club is in the hands of the volunteers that make things happen. At one time there was support from over 30 local businessesÕ , and dozens and dozens of members that donated materials, supplies and labor to keep the club going. Its membership was strong and community involvement made it happen.

Television, computers and self-interests have taken its toll on volunteerism. Everybody is busy doing something else nowadays, and we wonder why things are falling apart, community wide.

The present board wants to change things however. ItÕ s time to renew an interest in the club, and go back to the hunting and fishing traditions that this club was based on. Community and family come first, and we need to bring folks back together the way things used to be before television, computers and the so called smart phones starting robbing us of our time.

The club wants to get more involved with hunter education programs, archery, fly fishing, fish stocking, and all the other conservation projects available to help the youth of the area. Social events can happen once again throughout the season if folks just turn off the boob tube!

In spring, the trout are in Cheever Hole. Come summer the kids replace the trout and go swimming. Maybe itÕ s time for some old grey haired hippy music to start playing there once again!

The stream will keep flowing and the water falls will keep falling, but the club only stays in place due to its members.

Membership fees are collected yearly and are $10.00 for a single and $15.00 for a family. You canÕ t beat that, even if you only go down once a year for a picnic along the water falls. That alone is worth the price of admission.

If you are interested in becoming a member or assisting with the renewal of the club, please contact Kim and Tim Kolodzey at 5467125 or Walt Wojewodzic at 546-7506 or membership information Like the Fish and Game sign reads, Ò If YOU carry it in, YOU carry it out!Ó Special thanks to Frank Wojewodzic for the stories and fish tales!

The Essex County Fish & Game League meeting will be held May 14 Wednesday at the Schroon Lake F&G Clubhouse on Hoffman Road [rte 24-a short ways South of Schroon Lake Village on rte 9. Right past the cemetery-look for the club sign. This the annual Schroon F&G meeting featuring a Prime Rib supper which will be served at 6:30. See you there!
