State law may stop move to former Rite Aid

TICONDEROGA — Efforts to move the Ticonderoga Police Department have hit a snag. After a residents committee and the town board believed they had found a way to move the police headquarters to the former Rite Aid building on Montcalm Street, a state law was discovered that has placed the plan on hold. Supervisor Deb Malaney explained the old Rite Aid building is larger than what the town needs for its police department. The town had planned to rent the building and sub-lease some of the extra space to help defray the rental costs. “We can’t do it,” Malaney said. “There’s a state law that prevents us from renting more space than we need. We can’t sub-lease.” A citizens committee — that includes trustee Steve Whitford, Police Chief Mark Johns, Ross Kelley, Rolly Allen, Margaret Lauman, Dave Woods and Sharon

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Jacob Crowe planned on getting some rest over the holiday break. “I’m not a morning person, so getting up early is no fun,” the Ticon-

deroga High School junior said. “I’d like to sleep in.” There’s been little sleep for Ti’s student musicians the past few months. They rehearsed for a series of holiday programs before and after school — often arriving for 7 a.m. jazz band practice and staying through 8:30 p.m. choir sessions. “Our students are incredibly busy

with academics, sports and music,” Nelson Shapiro, Ti High music teacher said. “We have rehearsals whenever we can find the time around other activities. We rehearse before school, after school and students come in during free periods for individual lessons.” That work ethic impresses Shapiro.

Ti Kiwanis looking forward to spring ‘Win at 55’ contest planned By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Spring may be distant memory for most area residents, but the Ticonderoga Kiwanis are thinking about warm weather. The Kiwanis are now selling tickets for their annual “Win at 55” contest. Participants are asked to guess the date and time the temperature in Ticonderoga will reach 55 degrees. “‘Win at 55’ is one way to keep folk’s spirits high during the winter months and to raise funds for the many community projects that Ti Kiwanis undertakes each year,” said Bill Bolton of the civic group.

“With a $5 donation you get to guess the day and hour you think the air temperature will reach 55 degrees.,” he explained. “The person who comes closest to guessing that magic moment will win $500, with a second and third prize of $300 and $200 respectively.” Tickets will be sold through Feb. 20 and the 55 degree day will be recorded after Feb. 28. The temperature will be measured at the weather station located at the Downing residence on the Portage in Ticonderoga and may be checked at www.weatherundergound.com. Ti Kiwanis members will be selling chances all day at Stewarts in Ticonderoga on Friday, Jan. 20. “All monies raised will be used to improve our communi-

Ticonderoga • Times of Ti - 3

Fort Ti to host seminar this January TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga will host its second annual “Material Matters: It’s in the Details” seminar the weekend of Jan. 28 and 29. The weekend program focuses on the material culture of the 18th century and is intended for collectors, re-enactors and people with a general interest in learning more about objects of the 18th century and what they can tell us about history. “Material Matters” takes place in the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center at Fort Ticonderoga and is open by pre-registration only. A panel of material culture experts from the United States and Canada come to Fort Ticonderoga for the weekend to share their knowledge of 18th-century material culture in a series of presentations. Designed for those who want a deeper understanding of the everyday objects that help tell the story of life and the contests for control of North America during the 18th century, the weekend’s informal approach enables attendees to interact with presenters and provides an opportunity to examine 18th-century objects up close. Fort Ticonderoga’s Curator of Collections Chris Fox will discuss the archeological remains of clothing and sewing-related arti-

facts in the fort’s collection found during the fort’s restoration in the early 20th century. Matthew Keagle, a scholar of 18th-century Atlantic material culture, will talk about grenadier caps used by various 18th-century armies and their cultural significance. David Ledoyen, a heritage presentation coordinator from Montreal, will explore 18th-century surgeons’ instruments and the evolution of surgeons as a profession in New France. Stuart Lilie, director of interpretation at Fort Ticonderoga, will discuss equestrian saddlery and horse furniture. Lilie is a saddler specializing in 18th- and early 19th-century saddlery. Sarah Woodyard, an apprentice in millinery at Colonial Williamsburg, will talks about 18th-century undergarments. Registration for “Material Matters” is now open. A brochure with the complete schedule and a registration form is available on Fort Ticonderoga’s website at www.fortticonderoga.org A printed copy is also available by contacting Rich Strum, director of education, at 585-6370. The cost for the weekend is $120, $100 for members of the Friends of Fort Ticonderoga.

Broadway play and a United Nations visit this spring. “We work hard, but we laugh a lot, too,” Shapiro said of the hectic pace. “Our rehearsals are always upbeat and there’s a sense of collaborative warmth. Ticonderoga has great kids. We prove it everyday.” Ticonderoga’s musicians have a lot to say about their program. Shapiro regularly solicits student opinions as they prepare for a performance. Costello is the director of the Trebled Voices. Its members make all decisions about the music, solos, arrangements and more. “It’s not always easy, but we talk and decide as a group,” Costello said of Trebled Voices. “We usually end up voting on songs we’d like to sing.” Crowe said the Night Shadows has a special surprise for the annual pops concert this spring. It’s rumored the all-male choir will perform a version of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”

Ti police from page 1 Reynolds — had recommended leasing the former Rite Aid building and renovating it. The committee studied square footage and availability of buildings in the community, parking, location, flexibility to expand if the need arises and costs. Ticonderoga officials have long discussed moving the police downtown but accelerated the discussion in December 2009 when structural issues arose at the police headquarters. The nearly 70-year-old concrete block structure on Burgoyne Avenue developed a large crack from the foundation up the center of the back wall raising questions about the building’s future. In January 2010, local officials began talks with the owner of the former Rite Aid building on Montcalm Street in hopes of relocating the police department. The former Rite Aid building has an assessed value of $403,000, which makes it too expensive for the town to purchase. The building has 7,800 square feet. According to the committee report, Comm Net Lease Realty, the Florida-based company that owns the building, will rent the building to the town for $18,500 a year. The panel estimated utilities would cost $15,000 a year, insurance $3,000 and renovation $10,000. The renovation would be financed with a nointerest loan. The committee estimated the total cost of housing the police in the former Rite Aid would be $46,500 in 2013. The building has more space than the police department needs, according to the committee. The group felt the extra space could be converted into three offices that could generate $22,000 in income for the town. That income along with the $15,000 budgeted for the current police station, means it would cost the town $9,000 a year more

“All I can say is that’s going to be a lot of fun,” Crowe smiled. The Ti students enjoy almost everything about the music program, but they admit performing is special. “It’s a really good feeling when you finish a song and everyone in the audience is smiling and clapping,” Costello said. “You feel like you really accomplished something.” Crowe agrees. “When you hear the applause and you realize it’s for you, that’s special,” Crowe said. The music experience at Ti High is long lasting. “Every few weeks I get a letter or card from a former student telling me how much they enjoyed being part of the program,” Shapiro said. “This time of year a lot of college students come home and stop by to visit. For many, this is the experience they remember after high school.”

to have the police department located on Montcalm Street, the committee claimed. That plan is now on hold, though, because of the state regulation that will not allow the town to sub-lease the additional space. “We’ve turned the matter over to the town attorney,” Malaney said. “I’m optimistic we will be able to do something. It would be a real help to the transformation of our downtown. Our businesses, our downtown investors, a lot of people want to see a police presence downtown. I think it’s a key to our future.” In case the old Rite Aid building plan can’t become reality, Malaney said town officials have to begin thinking about other options. “There are structural issues at the police station and we have to be prepared to move them,” she said. “We may need to go to Plan B.” At this point there is no Plan B, she said, although town officials are working on various scenarios. The police commission previously investigated other possibilities and found them lacking. The Armory was excluded for police use since it houses youth activities and police don’t want children and criminals in the same building. The downstairs of the Community Building was excluded because of lack of space and parking.

all work. He says he’s not a morning person, but I don’t believe him. He’s always here at 7 a.m. ready to go to work, full of energy. Sometimes when we’re not at our best, he’ll stop the rehearsal and tell us a silly joke. It’s usually not a very good joke, but it wakes us up and gives us the energy we need to get going.” Ashley Costello, a junior, agrees. “Mr. Shapiro is the only person I know who is wide awake at 7 a.m.,” she said. “He’s ready to work and we need to be, too. “To think that one person can mean so much is amazing,” she added. “He is Ticonderoga music.” Shapiro dismisses that talk. He pointed to the contributions of Michael Iturrino and Jolene Harrigan, other Ti music teachers, and credited the students for the success of the Ti music program. “We (teachers) have a lot of fun and the kids see that,” Shapiro said. “They realize you can work hard and still have fun.” The Ti High music program involves nearly 100 students in the chorus, band, Sentinel Big Band (jazz), Night Shadows make choir and Trebled Voices female choir. Many are in multiple groups. When Shapiro arrived in Ticonderoga 35 years ago there were nine girls in the chorus and 15 band members. This holiday season Ti student musicians had four performances — the annual community Tiny Tim concert, the Kiwanis senior citizen holiday party, a visit to Heritage Commons nursing home and the annual school concert — in two weeks. That flurry of activities capped four months of rehearsals. Students also held a fruit sale that will help finance a trip to see a

CSEA should take note of sacrifices made by unionized city library

ould you give up purchasing a doughnut and cup of coffee each morning to save the job of a co-worker? How about 10 co-workers? Apparently the union representing Essex County would not. And it is wrong on many levels. Faced with a looming budget shortfall, Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas approached union leaders back in July and asked them to consider concessions to avoid layoffs. Supervisors asked the local chapter of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) to reopen negotiations in the final year of a four-year contract, and consider foregoing an agreed-upon 4 percent raise in 2012. The concession would have saved the county $750,000, avoided layoffs and helped control taxes. But the union dug in its heels, and now 10 Essex County employees will help further pad the county’s 10.4 percent unemployment rate. Let’s put this in context. A 4 percent pay increase to a county employee making $30,000 is $1,200. After taxes, that is a little more than $2 a day. But the local CSEA chapter, no doubt fearing it would create a statewide precedent, opted not to re-open talks until midJanuary when it negotiates its next contract. Ten jobs in a county of less than 400 workers was apparently worth the sacrifice. Let’s hope supervisors do not forget those 10 workers, or the local union’s unwillingness to give during the next round of negotiations. At the same time, most of the unionized county workers stood behind the decision. Do Essex County workers deserve raises? Absolutely. They work very hard and definitely deserve cost-of-living increases. But so do a lot of people. And the reality is a lot of public and private sector workers are having to make concessions in this economy. Very few workers will be getting a 4 percent increase next year. Meanwhile, the taxing burden to pay public sector salaries and benefits continually grows. Something’s got to give. We are seeing sacrifices taking place all

around us — from school teachers agreeing to pay freezes, to town employees picking up more of their health insurance to private sector workers taking unpaid furloughs and pay reductions. People are doing more with less to avoid more people in the unemployment line, including themselves. It is time the local CSEA and its members stepped to the plate and did the same, just as the unionized workers at Plattsburgh City Library did last week. To save four positions on the chopping block, the 15 union library employees voted unanimously to a host of concessions that included a four-year pay freeze; a reduction in hours from 37 to 35; a 15 percent contribution toward health insurance and a 50 percent cut in sick days. Similarly, CSEA-represented state workers have agreed to no salary increases during the next three years, and modest 2 percent increases in the final two years of a five-year contract. Can you see the local chapter laying anything close to that on the table this January? They have lobbied in favor of giving paid days off to employees on their birthdays. What is that all about? It is that type of thinking and the reluctance of our elected officials to put an end to it that has created such a divide and has driven taxes to historic levels. As a country, we simply cannot afford the benefits and luxuries we once did in either the public or private sector, and it is time unions face that very real fact. In a reader ’s poll posted on our website, www.denpubs.com, 75 percent of those who responded — no doubt some of the very people they represent — said the CSEA should have conceded on the 2012 pay raise to save the county layoffs. Another 20 percent said the union should be disbanded altogether. With that in mind, we have just one thing to say to county lawmakers as they engage in contract negotiations later this month: The ball is in your court.

Letters to the Editor

Mayor respects firefighters To the Times of Ti: As the Mayor of Port Henry, I would like to take the time to extend my deep appreciation to the Port Henry Fire Department. By their diligence they prevented the loss of many lives and saved one side of Main Street from total destruction. This recent fire made me really respect the department's dedication and professionalism. I know that each time the fire whistle blares firefighters risk their lives. I am grateful to each fire fighter for their courage and service they provide to our village. I would also like to thank all the other departments involved for their service to our community. The Honorable Ernest G. Guerin, Port Henry

Be healthy; stop smoking To the Times of Ti: Now that the holiday season is at a close, the New Year begins with renewed fervor to be healthier. For readers that have made stopping smoking their top priority, here are a few tips that have worked for others. • Choose a date to stop smoking. • Use a medication to decrease withdrawal symptoms from nicotine. Talk to your doctor about the FDA medications approved for smoking cessation, such as the nicotine patch. Your insurance may cover the cost; Medicaid and Medicare cover many options. • Try different ways to deal with stress, such as: physical activity; deep breathing; and talking it out. • Choose a positive message to tell yourself when you are faced with comments and your own self-talk that undermine your efforts. • Do things differently. If you have smoked for a while, you have without knowing it, connected smoking to everyday behaviors, such as, driving, talking on the phone, having coffee. These activities will trigger urges to smoke after you stopped. As a result, now is the time to figure out what you will do instead. • Get support. Talk to family, friends and co-workers about how they can be of help. The night before your quit date: • Throw away all tobacco products • Remove lighters and ashtrays • Clean your house and car

• Purchase and place items such as lollipops, cinnamon sticks, toothpicks, gum, carrots, etc in locations that trigger your smoking. • Place a “no smoking” sign in the window of your home and car. For more information and support contact the NYS Smokers’ Quitline, 1-866-NY-Quits, 1-866-697-8487, online at www.nysmokefree.com. You may be eligible for a free two week sample of the nicotine patch. Stopping smoking is the best thing you can do for your health and the health of your family and pets. Margot Gold Executive Director North Country Healthy Heart Network

However, Gov. Cuomo and the state legislature are now reneging on the promise that was made to New York’s senior citizens. This shameless bait-and-switch tactic by our elected leaders in Albany is worse than any used-car-salesman trick. Mr. Cuomo, do you think NY seniors who are attempting to survive on only their Social Security can afford to pay an additional $400-500-600 for their prescription drugs? There has to be a better way to balance New York’s budget than on the backs of its senior citizens! AARP has said that it will push to roll back the cuts when the state legislature reconvenes in January. New York’s senior citizens, their families and caregivers need to let their state senators and assembly persons know what they think of this before it is too late. John Bartlett, Ticonderoga

State turns its back on seniors

Pantry volunteers thankful

To the Times of Ti: New York State used to have an excellent prescription drug program for its senior citizens; Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage or EPIC. This program was especially good for low-income seniors who paid only low premiums, had low co-pays, and had very little out-of-pocket expense for the prescriptions they needed. On Jan. 1 my wife and I got a very rude surprise when we picked up a prescription for her 92-year-old mom. A prescription that used to cost only $3 was now $42. What happened? Our “friends” in Albany have stuck it to our senior citizens. Per the AARP Bulletin, “Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the legislature cut the EPIC budget by about $12 million as part of reductions in state agencies to eliminate a $10 billion deficit.” EPIC used to provide a benefit of up to $464 to offset the Medicare Part D plan deductibles. This program has been eliminated. In addition EPIC will no longer contribute to keep Plan D co-pays down to a maximum of $20, unless the Medicare enrollee has spent over $2930 on prescriptions. About 2-3 years ago, New York required low-income seniors to enroll in Medicare-Part D, the federal prescription drug program. EPIC paid the Part D premiums and seniors only had to pick which private Part D plan they wanted. Sounds like a great deal, right? Well, this change made the federal Part D plan primary, EPIC became secondary and New York saved money. It was also a win-win for New York seniors because EPIC offset their Part D deductibles and kept their Part D co-pays to a maximum of $20. In other words, New York’s low-income seniors continued to have very low out-of-pocket expenses.

To the Times of Ti: Christmas is the time of giving, as a tradition. The Ticonderoga Food Pantry has been the recipient and the pantry volunteers are most thankful for it! Our work of serving those in Ticonderoga and Putnam could not continue with out the generosity of the community. We wish to express our most sincere appreciation to everyone who gave a donation to our work. There are just too many to thank individually, for fear of omitting someone. The community support for our work has been outstanding with many civic organizations, businesses and individuals remembering us during the holidays. People of all ages, including hard working young folks, have supported our work, with food/fund drives through schools and youth groups in addition to many adult groups and organizations who have contributed and given of their free time to help our cause. Our goal is to provide good nutritious food to those who visit the pantry and because of the outstanding support we’ve received, we certainly can do so. Thank you one and all for every donation you’ve made. We, the pantry volunteers, are truly thankful for your thoughtfulness as we go about our work of helping our neighbors. As a reminder: the pantry is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11 a.m. to noon. We close for holidays and bad weather for the safety of our volunteers and visitors as well. Margaret Beuerlein Director, Ticonderoga Food Pantry

CROWN POINT — Twelfth Night will be celebrated with an ecumenical church service at the Penfield Homestead Museum. The event will be held Sunday, Jan. 8, at 3 p.m. at the Penfield Church, across the street from the Penfield Museum in Ironville. It will feature songs, scriptures and stories, according to Joan Hunsdon of the Penfield Homestead Museum. There will also be light refreshments. Sponsored by the museum, it will feature members of the Crown Point Methodist Church, Sacred Heart Catholic Church and the First Congregational Church. Located in the Crown Point hamlet of Ironville, the Penfield Homestead Museum is the former home of Allen Penfield and reflects the 19th Century when mining dominated the regional economy. It is also the birthplace of the electrical age. The hamlet of Ironville, on the National Register of Historic Places, is listed as the “Birthplace of the Electric Age” since it is the site of the first industrial application of electricity in the United States in 1831. The electricity was provided by a simple battery known as a “wet battery,” which in turn was used to power one of Joseph Henry’s electromagnets. The electromagnet was used in Ironville to recharge the magnetic prongs on the magnetic ore separator, a machine used to remove the iron from the crushed ore. Central to the museum is an exact replica of a large electromagnet now in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Penfield moved his family to Crown Point in 1828 to make his fortune in the mining industry. The home he build was occupied by three generations before becoming a museum which houses a collection of 19th Century artifacts memorabilia.

Crown Point iron was an indispensable product for the North in the Civil, War. Iron from Crown Point was used to construct the battleship Monitor. The museum contains samples of iron ore mined by Penfield along with pictures of the mines in operation. Rooms in the museum are furnished with original pieces once belonging to the Penfields. Other historic furniture is also on display. Ironville was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The homes along the main street were all constructed in the early 19th Century. Those buildings, besides the museum, include the Harwood House, a church, a parsonage, a boarding house and homes and barns that have been in use for 150 years and longer. The Twelfth Night tradition dates to the Middle Ages. In early times, Christmas was 12 days of celebration, starting on Dec. 25 and culminating on the 12th night, which was considered “Christmas Day.” Hence, the song “Twelve Days of Christmas” and the play “Twelfth Night” by William Shakespeare. In 529, Roman Emperor Justinian named Christmas to be a civic holiday. Work and public business not associated with the celebration of the holiday was strictly forbidden. In 563, a decree from the Council of Braga declared that fasting on Christmas was prohibited and in 567 the Council of Tours elected the 12 days from Dec. 25 to Epiphany to be sacred. As a result, in the Middle Ages Christmas was not one day to take off work and spend with family, but 12 days of celebration. In older times, the “Twelfth Night” brought great festivities. In some areas of the world, it is still proper to erect a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve and leave it up until a week after New Year for this reason.

Douglas back at Essex County helm By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — In a day that saw four new members take their positions on the Essex County Board of Supervisors, the highlight was the return of one supervisor to the role of chairman. For the first time since 1985, the board opted to apRandy Douglas point the same chairman to Essex County Board Chair a third term during its Jan. 3 organizational meeting, with Randall “Randy” Douglas remaining in the post and Robert “Roby” Politi continuing on as vice chair. “Over the past two years, he has led this county with a bipartisan attitude,” Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said in nominating Douglas to the position. “He has allowed every member of this board to make their views known on each topic.” “This board could not make a more worthy selection,” Keene Supervisor William “Bill” Ferreby added in seconding the nomination. Both supervisors also talked about the struggles the county faced in the past year while Douglas had been chair, from working with decreased state aid, a tax cap and natural disaster. “I know of no other term where the chairman has faced as much difficulty as he has,” Canon said. “Randy has held the position in most difficult times,” Ferebee added. “I worked shoulder to shoulder with him during the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene and witnessed the passion that he brings to everything that he does.” After being sworn in, Douglas thanked the board for their support. “It is truly an honor to once again be sworn in as the chairman of this board,” Douglas said. “I am truly honored to serve with each and every one of you.” Douglas said he felt the county made in-roads with Albany and Washington over the past two years, and said the concerns of the North Country were being looked at because of

that. He also thanked his family as well as the employees and members of the town of Jay government. “They have each given their all for the enhancement of Jay,” he said. Douglas also spoke about the challenges of the last year and the year to come. “Serving as chair in 2011 has been the most challenging time of my life since my father died,” Douglas said. “We in the North Country are resilient and we will come through these events stronger and more together than ever.” “It saddens me that some of our decisions have a negative impact on people’s lives,” Douglas continued. “As we go forward, it is not going to get any easier, and we have some

more big decisions with the future of the Horace Nye Nursing Home, the fish hatchery, and the negotiations with CSEA.” Douglas said his goal is to help move the county forward in the next year. “I will do all in my power to strive to make Essex County better.” Earlier in the meeting, four new supervisors were sworn in as members of the board, including Elizabethtown’s Margaret “Maggie” Bartley; Crown Point’s Charles Harrington; North Hudson’s Ronald Moore; and Schroon’s Michael Marnell. Douglas said committee assignments would be made by the end of the week.

Sophie Clarke returns triumphantly home ‘Survivor’ winner speaks at alma mater in Willsboro By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — The Willsboro Central School superintendent said what the whole town was thinking. “Sophie, welcome home and congratulations,” Superintendent Stephen Broadwell said in welcoming Willsboro alumnus and CBS television reality show winner Sophie Clarke back to the community, just over a week after she was named the

$1 million prize winner Dec. 28. “Everyone has been sitting in front of the television watching you for the past several Wednesday nights, so it’s kind of apropos that we are all here on a Wednesday night, but this time we have you here with us.” Clarke, who spent the time before the show in interviews with the local CBS affiliate and talking to friends who came out for the event, was then greeted by warm applause and several ovations throughout the hour-long question-and-answer period. Audience members were able to ask a number of questions to the newest reality television star, with

Ryan Haywood Quigley Aug. 10, 1988-Dec. 30, 2011 TICONDEROGA — Ryan Haywood Quigley, 23, of Ticonderoga, passed away suddenly on Friday, Dec. 30, 2011, as a result of an automobile accident. Born in Ticonderoga, Aug. 10, 1988, he was the son of Susan M. Hayes and Richard H. Quigley, Jr., both of Ticonderoga. While in high school, Ryan was a member of the Ticonderoga High School football team before spinal surgery made him physically unable to continue playing. He was a past member of the Ticonderoga Jr. Firefighters. Ryan was very mechanically minded with interests in auto me-

many focused on what the day-today life on the island where the show was filmed was like. “You are stranded with 17 strangers on an island. You just kind of go insane,” Clarke said. “You really create these bonds with people, and the most important thing becomes making these alliances so you can stay for another day.” Clarke was also asked about bathrooms (“there are none”), what she had to eat (”I will never eat another coconut ever again”), food cravings (“I created my ice cream cake business because you were craving and thinking about sweets”), creating bonds with the other contestants (“it’s like one of the Stockholm Syn-

drome things”) and who she thought should have won if it was not here (“Brandon or Dawn, but I’d lean toward Dawn because she was really deserving”). Clarke also took questions from those who wanted to know what her advice would be to youth in Willsboro who may think that they are limited because of the small town attitude. “I think that is such a bad outlook if you think that,” Clarke responded. “I think that you can be surprised by what you can do when you try. I know that you can look at things that way when you come from a town like Willsboro, but it simply is not the case.”

chanics, body work and recreational vehicles of all types. He was employed by Treadway Sports of Ticonderoga. He loved mudding with his trucks, and spent countless hours fourwheeling on ATVs and snowmobiling through the trails in the Adirondacks. Ryan loved all animals. His sense of humor was known to all who knew him, especially his friends whom he loved dearly. He was pre-deceased by his maternal grandparents, Thomas and Emmetta Hayes, and his paternal grandmother, Doreen M. Quigley. Survivors include his mother, Susan M. Hayes of Ticonderoga; his father, Richard H. Quigley, Jr. of Ticonderoga; his paternal grandfather, Richard H. Quigley, Sr. of Ticonderoga; and two sisters, Cyley Quigley and Cortney Quigley and one brother, Riley Quigley, all of Ticonderoga. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A funeral service took place at 6 p.m., Monday evening, following the calling hours. The Rev. Kevin D. McEwan, pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic Church of Ticonderoga, officiated. The Rite of Committal will take place at a later date at the Valley View Cemetery of Ticonderoga. Donations in Ryan’s memory may be made to a charity of one’s choice.

Clarke added that while she was able to use skills that she learned in Willsboro (she said that she felt the public speaking program had a major impact), she also learned a lot from the show experience. “I learned that there are a lot of cliches that are true,” Clarke said. “I find that I live much more in the present. I am more willing to say yes, and I am able to relate to a lot more people.” Clarke said that, as far as memorabilia, the only thing she took from the island was a puzzle piece from the final immunity challenge. “I liked that one because I think it won me $1 million,” she said.

PLATTSBURGH — Denise LaPine buys her grandchildren’s clothes at Kmart. “I like the prices there,” said the Plattsburgh resident. Its closure would be a loss to the area, she said. Fortunately for LaPine and other shoppers, neither Sears nor Kmart stores in Plattsburgh were on a list of 79 pending closures announced recently. Sears and Kmart merged in 2005, and the retailer, faced with declining sales, announced it will close as many as 120 stores to raise cash. The company recently released a list of the first 79 closures. Kmart’s sales decline reflects decreases in the consumer electronics and apparel categories and lower layaway sales. Sears’ decline was primarily driven by consumer electronics and home appliances. The combination of lower sales and continued margin pressure coupled with expense increases led to the decline and recent announcement. Both stores expect the fourth quarter to be less than half of last year ’s amount. “Given our performance and the difficult economic environment, especially for big-ticket items, we intend to implement a series of actions to reduce on-going expenses, adjust our asset base, and accelerate the transformation of our business model,” said Chief Executive Office Lou D’Ambrosio in a press release. “These actions will better enable us to focus out investments on serving our customers and members through integrated retail - at the store, online and in the home.” The actions include closing 100 to 120 Kmart and Sears Full-line stores to generate $140 to $170 million of cash. Florida stands to lose 11 stores, according to a preliminary list of 79 planned closures. Ohio, Michigan and Georgia will lose six in each state, while Tennessee, North Carolina and Minnesota are set to lose four stores each. Each store employs between 40 and 80 people. The closures do not include stores in Sears’ home state of Illinois. The projected closings represent roughly 3 percent of Sears Holdings’ U.S. stores. The merged company has about 3,560 stores in the United States. In addition to the specific store closures, the company plans to carefully evaluate store performance going forward. The company will no longer adhere to the practice of keeping marginally performing stores open while working to improve their performance. Instead, the company will focus resources on better performing stores. LaPine hopes the Plattsburgh Kmart remains open. She goes there about once a week to shop. “I like the store, and it would bother me if it closed,” she said. “It has been here a long time, and is a store we have depended on for years.”

Rabid cat discovered

CROWN POINT — A rabid stray cat has been identified in the Westport area. This is the first confirmed case of rabies in an undomesticated cat in Essex County in 2011. Several wild animals and one domestic farm animal were determined to have rabies in Essex County earlier in 2011. Those animals were from the towns of Keeseville, Crown Point, Westport and Ticonderoga. Stray cats should be considered wild animals and not fed or handled. “It is very important not to feed, touch or adopt stray or wild cats or dogs. Animals that are infected with the rabies virus do not always shows signs of being sick right away. Feeding, touching or adopting strays and wild animals can put families at real risk for rabies infection,” said Kathy Daggett, director of Preventive Services for Essex County Public Health. Daggett explain Essex County’s protocol as follows: “If ownership is not clear, the animal will be considered wild unless there is a person who feeds the animal, in which case that person would be considered its owner.” It is recommended that domestic and farm animal owners make sure their animals are up to date with annual rabies vaccinations. If an unvaccinated farm animal comes in contact with a rabid or suspected rabid animal it must be strictly quarantined for six months. Vaccinated animals that come in contact with wild animals must be given a booster rabies vaccination within 5 days of the contact. If a contact happens, people should notify Essex County Public Health Department at 873-3500. Call the Essex County Public Health Department at 873-3500 to report a contact or for more information. Essex County Public Health provides rabies clinics throughout Essex County four times a year. Visit www.co.essex.ny.us/publichealth for the clinic schedule.

Ti High School teams earn scholar-athlete awards By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High School athletes enjoyed a successful fall season on the field and in the classroom. For the first time in school history, the Sentinel soccer, football and boys cross country teams have earned state scholar-athlete awards in the same season. The girls cross country team had an overall average high enough to gain the honor, but not enough runners. The New York State Public High School Athletic Association gives scholar-athletes awards to teams statewide whose members manage a 90 or better academic average during the season. “This is a really good group of kids,” Bob Stuphen, Ticonderoga athletic director, said. “They had great seasons on the field and they took care of business in the classroom. “Sports are important to our students,” he added, “but so are academics. When people see the scores in the newspaper they prob-

ably don’t realize that these are also excellent students.” Kathy Tubbs coached the soccer team, Brian Kiely the cross country teams and Stuphen the football team. This fall’s Sentinel football team won the Section VII Class D championship and advanced to the state tournament. The cross country teams qualified seven runners for the state championship meet. The soccer team gave eventual state champion Chazy it’s toughest game of the season, dropping a 1-0 decision. Stuphen pointed out the academic success of Ticonderoga athletes is no fluke. “I think we’re going to see this again during the winter sports season,” the athletic director said. “Our indoor track team, our basketball teams, our bowling team — we a lot of very good students on those teams.” Ticonderoga’s scholar-athletes include: Football - Steve Bussey, Joe Gonyeau, Jay Hebert, Miles Austin, Corey King, Will Lawrie, Nate Lenhart, Anthony DuShane,

Ski trains, and growing pains

lthough traditional winter weather has largely been AWOL so far this season, I expect it will eventually arrive. And as the North Country goes, winter weather is better late than never. Our regional economy is based on providing opportunities in a land of ice and snow, where lovers of winter can easily go. Recently, the long journey to the great, white North has become a whole lot easier. Travelers may no longer have to contend with winding mountain roads while dodging the slush, mush, and frost heaves. Skiers will no longer have to suffer through long lines of traffic, which often comes to a standstill as they jockey for a parking space closer to the Ski Lodge. The historic Gore Mountain ski train first began service in 1934 and by 1936, ski train connections were extended to New York City’s Penn Station, as North Creek boasted the first public ski center in New York State. Eventually, as modern interstate highways provided faster and more convenient access to the region, rail service dwindled and the ski train was eventually discontinued. The first, Gore Mountain Ski and Snow Train of the modern era, recently departed Saratoga Station on Friday, Dec. 30. It was filled to capacity, without a seat to spare. A variety of new ski/train packages now permit winter enthusiasts to board in Saratoga and enjoy an unhampered journey all the way to North Creek. One day ski packages include round trip transportation, a ski pass, two complementary drinks and free shuttle service to the mountain. All of this is available for less than the cost of a single day’s lift ticket. The packages are a true bargain, for singles or families, and complete packages are also available which include transportation, meals, lodging, rentals, lessons and lift tickets. Congratulations to North Creek, for repeatedly refusing to give up despite the trying times. This little community in the shadow of the big mountains has consistently proven it can stage a comeback, and many, loyal visitors are happy they did! Their success should provide encouragement to other small towns, and offer solid evidence that where there is the will, there’s always a way! Unfortunately, it often seems that whenever there is a slight

chance that an appropriate industry or project has the potential to provide a bit of economic vitality to the region; there immediately appears to be an advocacy group, with the threat of a lawsuit to shut the opportunity down. Although I understand, and respect the need to protect against unscrupulous developers, and to fend off the advancement of inappropriate industry, I also wonder what the future will hold. When there are no opportunities, there will be no workers; and where there are no workers, there will be no communities. I do not favor turning a blind eye to incursions on the Forest Preserve, but an appropriate wink and a nod, may be in order on occasion. Such was the case when I first learned that Iowa Pacific Holdings, the outfit responsible for restoring the Gore Ski Train, was also interested in revitalizing a 30-mile section of track that connects North Creek to Tahawus. Inexpensive ski passes won’t be so popular, when the price of gas tops $10 a gallon. Neither will traditional tourist activities as hiking, biking or paddle sports, without reasonable transportation costs. Although Iowa Pacific’s rail restoration efforts center primarily on the transport of tailings from the National Lead Mines in Tahawus, and the Barton Mines in North River, the company has reportedly petitioned the Surface Transportation Board for a permit to operate as a federally regulated common carrier on the same rail line between Tahawus and North Creek. This 30-mile section of rails, which spans from the Tahawus Mines to North Creek, was built in 1940, prior to World War II. At the time, federal wartime exemptions trumped New York’s Article 14, the Forest Preserve Act, and trees were removed from the Forest Preserve in order to provide strategic materials for the war effort, and to save the country. Currently, the materials are hauled out of the area in trucks,

which travel over the winding mountain roads. The resulting wear and tear on the highway infrastructure, and the expense of trucking the materials, limits the potential for profit. With ‘Common Carrier’ designation, Iowa Pacific’s trains would be permitted to haul more than just raw materials. The trains could also provide scenic rail excursions, in addition to transporting hikers, bikers, birders and paddlers to one of the most remote sections of the Adirondacks. Despite the fact that trains can transport both materials and people, more effectively and efficiently, and with far less environmental impact than individual vehicles, advocacy groups have already announced opposition to Iowa Pacific’s petition. Such actions prove once again, that no good deed goes unpunished. The south sloping wilderness of the Tahawus region holds great tourism potential with Henderson Lake, the Preston Ponds and numerous High Peaks in addition to the proposed wilderness areas of the former Finch and Pruyn parcel near Newcomb, as well as the Essex Chain of Lakes and the Upper Hudson River, which may eventually encompass one of the largest unbroken tracts of wild lands in the Adirondacks.

Going Hog Wild? In last week’s column, I reported on the presence of feral swine in the North Country. Since that time, I have received numerous emails and letters, many concerning the potential for hog hunting opportunities. It is important for sportsmen to understand, that the NYSDEC does not intend to promote, nor to provide sporting opportunities for hunting feral swine. The department’s efforts are focused on eradicating the pests, as soon as possible, before they establish viable breeding populations, as they already have in several counties. Swine have now been found in both Clinton County and St. Lawrence County. Sportsmen are urged to report additional sightings to the NYSDEC. Jim Rivito, a former North Country resident from Tupper Lake, offered this advice on the potential problem. “I am an avid hunter here in Florida and I want to comment on your discovery of wild hogs.” “I lease 1,000 acres of property and the hogs are everywhere…I have shot 12 this year, from 90 to 225 pounds..they breed like rabbits. I see herds of 15-18 all over.” “A sow can breed at least 3 times a year and usually has 5-8 in a litter, plus they start to breed when they are 6 months old. So, multiply the number of sows, times the number of piglets 2 or 3 times per year every 6 months,” he said. “You can’t keep up with them, they rut up the ground like plows. I see you having a hog problem in a couple of years.” Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.
