Ti school board plans meeting

SCHROON LAKE — After 75 years, Schroon Lake Central School has a new gym.

The new facility was opened Jan. 5 as the home Wildcats won girls and boys basketball games against Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference foe Willsboro, “The new gym is great,” said Mary Lou Shaughnessy, Schroon athletic director. “We had our first home game against Willsboro and the Wildcats rocked the house. We had approximately 450 people come to the opening game.”

The new court is regulation size, something Schroon Lake has never had. That means the Wildcats have been forced to play all its tournament games on the road in the past. No more.

“We are excited and we are planning on playing sectionals in our gym,” Shaughnessy said.

Jerry Blair, interim school superintendent, thanked the community for its sup-

TICONDEROGA — Most people dread ice during the winter months. Maybe they shouldn’t.

“Ice has had a substantial influence on the course of Adirondack history,” said June Curtis of the Ticonderoga Historical Society.

That’s why the Ticonderoga Historical Society together with the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum will host “Adirondack Ice,” presented by regional author Caperton Tissot. The program will be at the Community Building, 132 Montcalm St., Friday, Jan. 21, at 7 p.m. The program is open to the public and is free. Refreshments will be served.

“Caperton, using slides and stories, will discuss how ice has helped determine the regional economy, culture and natural history,” Curtis said. “From ice industries to transportation, recreation to accidents, all have played a major role in Adirondack chronicles.”

Tissot, a Saranac Lake resident, was born in Massachusetts, schooled in Virginia and Vermont, married Will, her Dutch husband,

and lived two years in Holland. They then moved to America and, while raising two children, continued to move frequently, living in several mostly rural locations in New England and the lower Hudson Valley.

She now spends her time writing. Her poetry and prose are inspired by family, small communities, the arts and backcountry wilderness. She has written history accounts, memoirs, observations and social commentary. Her works include a brochure, “Before you leave here find out where you have been,” summarizing the history of Saranac Lake; articles for Adirondack Life, the Adirondack Explorer and the Adirondack Almanack; a book, “History between the Lines, Women’s Lives and Saranac Lake Customs,” 2007; and a shared weekly oral history column called “Friends and Neighbors” for the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.

Tissot will present a slide show based on her recently published book, “Adirondack Ice, a Cultural and Natural History.” This program will be followed by discussion and a book signing.

Governor outlines plan for New York Cuomo proposes smaller government; property tax cap

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com ALBANY — Only a few days in office, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed to cut state agencies by 20 percent, enact a state worker pay freeze, pursue ways to reduce costly state mandates on local government, and to redesign Medicaid, which now represents about half the cost of county government expenditures in New York State.

Cuomo’s passionate State of the State speech delivered Jan. 5 — which included a bleak description of its problems — was interrupted often by applause as he outlined steps to lead New York out of its multi-billion-dollar budget gap.

The plan called for imposing a one-year salary freeze on a large portion of public employees, capping state taxes, and imposing a state spending cap at the rate of inflation.

Cuomo said he would establish a new Spending & Government Efficiency Commission to make state government more efficient, including reducing the number of agencies, authorities, and commissions by one-fifth. The commission must submit a right-sizing plan by May 1.

He also called for the creation of a new Medicaid Redesign Team to find ways to save money within the Medicaid program, based on the approach used in Wisconsin, where Medicaid costs were reduced by $625 million or about 10 percent. The team is to begin work by Jan. 7, and must submit its initial recommendations to Cuomo by March 1.

Cuomo also proposed to attack the quagmire of costly unfunded mandates that are imposed on local governments.

He said a Mandate Relief Redesign Team would be formed to identify reducing ineffective or unnecessary mandates that now present a burden on local taxpayers. The team will include representatives from private industry.

He also pledged to reward local governments that save money by downsizing or consolidation through the award of grants for mergers or dissolutions.

Observing that New York State ranks first in the nation in spending on education yet ranks 34th in results, Cuomo proposed reserving a portion of state aid for performance-based grants that reward districts for boosting pupil performance or for reductions in expenses.

Cuomo said $250 million would be awarded to schools that excel in boosting pupil achievement, and another $250 million would be granted to schools that slash administrative costs.

Citing that New Yorkers pay some of the highest taxes in the nation, Cuomo proposed a property tax cap that would limit annual increases in taxes to the lesser of 2 percent or the rate of inflation except by vote of the local citizens or extraordinary capital expenditures.

New York State Association of Counties Executive Director Stephen J. Acquario said for years, county officials have fought for such Medicaid reform and mandate relief.

“These mandates have contributed in large part to the exorbitant property taxes that are forcing families and businesses out of the state,” he said. “NYSAC welcomes Gov. Cuomo’s creation of a team to address the mandates that have overburdened taxpayers and local governments throughout New York, and looks forward to working toward real property tax relief.”

State Sen. Betty Little said such reform as Cuomo imposed was overdue. Citing census figures that show population moving out-ofstate, she said a cap must be imposed on runaway state government spending.

Lawmakers, she said, need to cut or eliminate least-effect programs and services — particularly in light of the state’s $10 billion budget gap.

Little said that the Legislature must work with a common goal to make those changes.

“The divisiveness of hyper-partisan politics has to end and be replaced with a constructive dialogue that leads to sensible policy decisions,” she said.

However, lawmakers should avoid budget manipulation that only achieves illusory shortterm gains.

“I’m hoping to see a greater emphasis on a long-term strategy to make New York a more affordable place to live and work five, 10 and 20 years from now,” she said.

Local supervisors optimistic Leaders hope speech leads to action by state government

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — While optimistic, local leaders are waiting for some definitive action following Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s first State of the State address.

“I think the governor is definitely on the right track,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “I think he’ll be bipartisan and the Senate and Assembly will work together. The real credit for cooperation, though, goes to our constituents who sent a message last fall that they’re tired of things as they are.”

Cuomo proposed to cut state agencies by 20 percent, enact a state worker pay freeze, pursue ways to reduce costly state mandates on local government, and to redesign Medicaid, which now represents about half the cost of county government expenditures in New York State as he outlined steps to lead New York out of its multi-billion-dollar budget gap.

Those are all good ideas, supervisors said.

“I support the property tax cap, but the state has to give us the tools to make it happen,” Scozzafava said. “They have to make it less difficult for us to share services.”

The Moriah supervisor said there many instances that towns, villages, school districts and fire districts could save money, but state law doesn’t allow one taxing district to assist another.

“Why should the school have to go out and buy a plow and a sander when I have five of them sitting at the town garage?” Scozzafava asked. “When our plows drive through the village (Port Henry) to get to the other side of town we have to lift our plows.

Some of these archaic laws have to be changed.”

Scozzafava also urged the governor to review highway funding in the state. Towns now raise highway money through local property tax.

“The value of your property isn’t relevant to highway use,” he said. “Money for roads should come from related items.”

He suggested a dedicated tax on motor vehicle registration fees, tires, car sales and gasoline.

Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney said Cuomo’s plan includes some painful, but necessary, cuts along with opportunities.

“Now we know the plan,” she said. “It includes extreme belt tightening combined with growth opportunities.

“Gov. Cuomo is telling us all to step up to the plate and he is providing some tools for us to carve out a new, more efficient future,” Malaney said. “The creation of Regional Economic Development Councils focusing on job creation offers a great opportunity. He also stated commitment to tourism as an economic engine, and it certainly is for us. I would expect to see regional benefits in this area since we have the key elements of history, natural resources, scenic beauty.

“Another area of optimism and potential for sustainable local business creation is the governor ’s commitment to providing fresh foods into urban markets and beyond,” she added. “We have an opportunity to capitalize on the growing trend of demand for locally-grown food in urban and rural areas that lack healthy food options. We have miles of agricultural land in the fertile Champlain Valley that once was and could be again a major source of produce and meat. Creation of the Share NY Food with Community program in tandem with the new Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs which are direct partnerships between farmers and consumers, I believe has great potential for numerous, sustainable small businesses.”

Malaney also likes Cuomo’s property tax cap proposal.

“The property tax cap is an important tax relief measure for all of us, however, it also poses serious concerns for municipalities,” she said. “Gov. Cuomo has proposed a 2 percent cap; one of the two exceptions for exceeding the cap will be extraordinary capital

“We’ve known this make it happen. was coming and have — Tom Scozzafava been planning all year,” she continued. “Ti has already laid out initial groundwork for better efficiency with 0 percent increases to wage bases; reducing the workforce by attrition, offering the New York State early retirement initiative and replacing the full time positions with very limited part-timers as needed; by consolidating our sewer and water department; and by cross-utilizing employees between departments as best we can within union contract limitations.

“North Country folk are smart, resourceful and resilient,” Malaney said. “We will face the challenges and do what needs to be done, with optimism.”

Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider found hope in the speech.

“I think there is reason for optimism when Gov. Cuomo talked about trimming government and ethics reform,” she said. “Capping property taxes and cutting spending brings hope and is also a standard promise by most politicians.

“The newly-elected are always under scrutiny and yet people have hope,” Kosmider said. “I believe Gov. Cuomo will be a strong advocate for the North Country and his spending plans are more realistic than what Albany has delivered over the past decade. You don’t spend what you don’t have and that is something our legislators need to learn.

“There is hope in Crown Point and I will continue to work towards solutions for our town while working with the governor ’s office to bring relief to our residents,” she concluded.

Schroon Supervisor Cathy Moses was pleased with the speech.

“If he sticks to what he says he’ll have lots of support, including mine, especially on a couple of the items which are important to me personally,” Moses said. “I agree 100 percent with our county chair that employees should be considering holding wages to avoid layoffs. How interesting that it was one of the governor ’s proposals.

Moses thinks Cuomo’s plans to revamp Medicaid are good.

“We are the gravy state of the Union,” she said. “I am all for helping people. Unfortunately, I see way too much abuse of the system and instead of helping it seems to be a dependency program. I wish the governor well in bringing this very expensive program under control.”

Moses also likes Cuomo’s comments on education and his plans to reward high-achieving schools.

“It is also long overdue to make school administration and teachers accountable,” she said. “We are fortunate, here in Schroon Lake and Ticonderoga especially, where we do have great performance as exhibited by the awards we have recently received — just sorry we couldn’t have received some of the funds now being set up to reward that performance. It certainly looks like we will be in line to receive some of the new proposed funding.

“In my opinion, it is not just the schools though,” Moses said.

“Every entity should be held accountable for their paycheck. In these times, especially, we need to be giving 150 percent. We need to get back to some of the old ethics we were brought up on — like an honest day’s work for an honest day's pay.”

The Schroon supervisor took note of Cuomo's emphasis on ethics.

“To me a person of his word is the one I will respect,” she said.

“I try very hard not to make promises I cannot keep and state that repeatedly. Too many politicians are making promises only to find out that they are unable to keep them. That makes all of us look bad. They need to think and research before they speak. There’s way too much back-peddling going on.”

A brief passage in the speech concerned Scozzafava. Cuomo noted employment should not be a consideration in decisions on keeping prisons open.

A year ago the state budget proposal called for closing the Moriah Shock Prison in Mineville. That would have cost the community more than 100 jobs, but the proposal was eventually eliminated from budget plans.

“I got a little nervous when I heard those comments,” Scozzafava said. “But we made our case last year, so I don’t foresee that happening again.”

Denton is committed to local community

By Dan Alexander, Publisher

I

sincerely hope you’ve noticed some improvements to your free community newspaper recently. Through the last several months our senior managers and editors have been discussing our paper’s news content and how we can best serve the communities where we distribute the papers. In most of those communities fewer than 20 percent of the homes receive a daily newspaper. Between radio and television broadcast schedules and limited high speed internet connections in our rural areas, it may be difficult to keep up on all the local news.

Since our papers reach nearly 100 percent of the homes in the region and are read regularly by 83 percent of those homes according to our 2010 CVC Readership Audit, no other medium can match the saturation coverage we provide each week. Additionally, the major benefit to a weekly newspaper in these fast-paced times is the simple fact that we fit around your schedule, not you around us, which is why our publications consistently earn high readership marks.

In our recent self analysis, we realized we needed to — and can do — a better, more efficient job at covering and reporting local news. A few locally written articles and a couple of press releases just aren’t good enough, especially in these times. We need to provide a complete recap of all the major news affecting the area, a better sports round up, more photos, death and birth notices and unique people features generated by our news staff. We also reached the conclusion that our editorial staff needed to work

more as a news gathering team rather than stand alone reporters with little or no connection to each other.

The first step in our reclamation process was to empower our Managing Editor John Gereau by removing the many chore functions he handles daily and allowing him greater control over the news staff. John began his news career with the Times of Ti before moving on to the Post Star as one of their lead reporters. To assist John we’ve recently hired Andy Flynn, former VIC public relations director and former managing editor for the Adirondack Daily Enterprise and Lake Placid News. Andy will serve as John’s immediate back up and will share administrative duties while bringing his many years of writing and editing to our solid local team. We anticipate his influence over our local coverage will take shape quickly in the near future.

Keith Lobdell, has rejoined the team after spending several years as editor of the Whitehall Times, part of the Manchester Newspaper Group. In the short time Keith has been back at the helm of the Valley News we’ve seen a sharp increase in story count and improved sports coverage. Keith’s impact on the northern papers has made quite

an impression on how to crank out news copy and cover a wide region.

Joining Lobdell in our northern group is Jeremiah Papineau, Sarah Cronk, Jon Alexander and Chris Morris.

Rounding out our news team to the south are 30-plus year veterans Fred Herbst, Thom Randall, and Lindsay Yandon and photographer Nancy Frasier.

While most major newspapers are reducing staff and tightening their news coverage, at the same time they are losing subscribers and increasing the amount they charge for the news. At Denton we believe, with the continued support of the business community, we can increase employment and our news coverage while providing, free delivery of the local news both in print and online. The major difference between our approach and that of the major dailies in the area revolves around ownership. We are locally owned and managed versus corporately owned by entities who have little or no roots to the community and whose first priority must be to their out of town shareholders not their local readers, advertisers or employees.

These are difficult times we are all going through and more and more it’s becoming a Goliath world, with small mom and pop local businesses giving way to large corporate chains. Our goal here at Denton Publications is to remain strong, serve our communities and continue the tradition of a free press here in the North Country.

Family discipline a century ago in Moriah

By Joan Daby

Moriah

The following are letters written by Ellen D. Witherbee Atwell in 1899 and 1900 to her nephew Tyler Reed Woodbridge of Victor, Colo. She was age 64 at that time. She tells of her family life, traditions, and some facts of history relating to the Witherbee family, handed down by her parents and grandparents, written at Port Henry. The nephew typed these up in 1900 and inserted some comments.

These letters were sent to me from Bill Knowlton, of Liverpool, in 2002. Ellen Atwell was his great aunt.

“I never remember his punishing his girls, but word from him was as much as a whipping from Mother who did bring us up in the old fashioned way. We did not fear her but were a little in awe of him, or did not like to hurt his feelings. We did not realize that it did hurt him. He used to tell us most wonderful stories, some of them being very thrilling and of course, being devotefully believed.

Humbuggery played a conspicuous part in his method of training, as you will see later on.

She was dark, black-eyed, red checked, and had straight black hair and was called very handsome in her younger days.

She was devotedly fond of her children and, while she could see their faults and always reproved them, she allowed no one else to comment upon them and, if they did, they were not

likely to repeat the offense. She was very jolly and was interested in our pleasures and none of us feared to seek her counsel for fear of her disapproval. She was one of us and was a favorite with young people.

Father and mother lived 32 years together, an unbroken family, except the death of one child, a baby. They never accumulated much ‘filthy lucre’ and so did not have to meet with many reverses except the loss of the farm in signing his name to help another man.

The family consisted of eight children (besides the baby who died): John, Jane, Molly, Sally, Dolly, Bessie, Fanny and Tommi John, the oldest, was fair, with grey eyes, dark hair, and was stoutly built. He was even-tempered and good-natured. He evinced particular talent for anything and cared little for study and, as his associates were of the worst, it caused Father much anxiety and led him to be very strict with him. He was sometimes blamed when he did not deserve it. He had his share of fun. At school, he received his punishment without a tear and was disgusted with his sister Jane because she cried for him. He disliked

Extra Helpings no longer available To the Times of Ti: I would like to take a moment to thank everyone that participated in the Extra Helpings program in Crown Point.

Unfortunately, I am no longer employed by the town. I have enjoyed the past five years of working with the people of the town and doing my best to assist them. Apparently, that was not the proper thing to do.

I apologize to those of you that have depended on the program to help you keep food on your tables, but there are people that feel the town shouldn’t be in the food business. The money that was made on the food will be donat-

Seniors thankful To the Times of Ti: Having served as president of the Schroon Lake Senior Citizens Club for the past two years, I have appreciated your “printed support” of our club. Not only did you recently come to our walking stick recog-

nition of Schroon Lake’s oldest citizen, but you have reported on our various activities for some time.

Thank you for this continuing support.

farming and had no tastes for mechanics. One day Father left home and left John to do some dragging. He soon came in and told Mother his day’s work was done as he had caught the drag in a stump and couldn’t get it out.

But Mother went out with him and had him unhitch the horse and hitch on the other end and pull it out. John sat down and cried. He said he never saw ‘such a woman’ as Mother was. As he had taken so much pains to wedge it into the stump, it was rather hard. He disliked to have to wear made-over clothes and when a suit was given him for that purpose, would put it on and wear it on the street, touching the ground. He was not in many serious scrapes.

I remember a few. It was the custom for boys and girls to go out stealing melons and he went out one night with a party and stole Dr. Hale’s melons. Father found it out and was very angry. He told him he must go down and confess it to the Doctor and then pay him from his own melon patch. John begged off and said he would and would rather be whipped but Father was firm and went with him and he confessed and promised to return the melons.

When they were ripe, he took a bag full on his back and carried them down and told the girl to tell the doctor that he had returned the melons he had borrowed from him.”

I know my name is about to be dragged through the mud, but I also know that I have done nothing wrong and will be vindicated in the end as I still have hope that honesty is the best policy even though it has bitten me recently.

WinterFest to return TICONDEROGA — WinterFest will make an encore in Ticonderoga.

The second annual day of outdoor activities will be held Saturday, Feb. 5, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Bicentennial Park.

“I was pleased with last year ’s event,” said Adrienne Weld, who is helping organize WinterFest. “I’m sure all those who participated remember the brutal cold, but we still had a lot of fun. Hopefully this year the weather will be better.”

The inaugural WinterFest attracted about 60 participants and 40 volunteers, Weld said.

The goal of WinterFest 2011 remains the same.

“We want to get people out and get them physically active,” said Weld, a physical education teacher at Ti High. “We want to beat the winter blues.”

The day of outdoor activities will be sponsored by the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street

Partnership, the Ticonderoga Kiwanis, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, the Ticonderoga Central School District and the town of Ticonderoga.

WinterFest will feature snowshoeing, sledding, ice skating, snowman building, broomball, snowmobiling and other activities.

People are encouraged to bring their own equipment, although some equipment will be available for use.

“We’re going to do the things I did growing up, the things our parents did,” Weld said. “It seems like no one wants to go outside in the winter anymore. We want to get families and their children involved.”

School groups such as the Key Club, Students Against Destructive Decisions, National Honor Society, Student Voice, Yearbook and Art Club, will participate.

“We started this a year ago and we want to see it grow bigger and better every year.”

Weld said. “We want to add activities and we want more people in the community to come out. We want it to be fun for everyone.”

We would like to thank the following individuals and businesses for their support at our various events and fundraisers throughout 2010.

Community involvement contributes to the success of our fundraisers.

Our annual events such as the Helen F. McDonald Golf Tournament, Triathlon, and Agency Picnic are made possible in part by their generosity.

Their involvement and support is greatly appreciated. We are grateful for their support in fulfilling our mission of enriching the lives of people with developmental disabilities, their families and our communities.

Future engineers compete to build best bridge TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga students tested their engineering skills during the annual Kiwanis Bridge Building Contest recently.

Teams from Ticonderoga High School, Ticonderoga middle School and St. Mary’s School competed. A total of 37 students on 11 teams took part.

Students were allowed 90 minutes to build their model bridges to meet size limi-

tations using only the materials provided to them.

Following lunch provided by parents, the bridges were judged for attractiveness and efficiency to see which bridge could carry the greatest load for its weight.

Before the start of the contest, Ti Middle School Principal Bruce Tubbs welcomed the students. Ti Superintendent John McDonald, Jr. spoke with the students

“A special thanks go out to Bruce Tubbs and Jim Marshall for hosting the event at the middle school and to our judges, Tony De Franco, Joyce Cooper and Steve Boyce and to Kathy Marshall for her help with lunch,” said Graham Bailey of the Kiwanis. “A final thank you goes to the Kiwanis members Ken Engler, Jack Bast, John Bartlett, Bill Bolton, Ross Kelly, Nancy Kelly, Sylvia Boyce and Joe McCranels for providing assistance during the event.”

The contest was the culmination of a two-month program in which students were given design guidance and presentations from Bailey and John Grady of the New York State Department of Transportation along with teachers Pam Arzberger from St. Mary’s, Paul Jebb from Ticonderoga High School and Jim Marshall from Ticonderoga Middle School. The teachers worked closely with their students on a weekly basis after school.

port during a brief ceremony marking the gym opening. He also recognized former Wildcat players.

Current players are thrilled.

“It is really exciting,” Lance Paradis of the ‘Cat boys team said prior to tip off. “We get to be part of the opening of our brand new gym. It is going to be loud and crowded. Every game is going to feel like a sectional game.”

Jocelyn Bowen of the girls team agreed.

“Having the opportunity to play in the new gym is the best thing that’s happened during my senior year,” she said.

“Finally, playing in a full-sized gym is 10 times more exhilarating. I am extremely happy and thankful that we have this opportunity.”

While the gym drew rave reviews, it’s not perfect.

“Our scoreboard situation is a bit of an annoyance, but we have been able to place the scorers table and teams on the opposite side of the bleachers,” Shaughnessy said. “The disadvantage is that coaches and players have to keep turning around to look up at the scoreboard.

“We are grateful for what we have and we will continue to play and make due with the situation,” she said.

The gym has created a new enthusiasm for the Schroon The Wildcat mascot appeared Lake athletic program, the at the opening of the new Schroon Lake Central School athletic director said.

“Our athletic program is gym. sure to strengthen in this new facility,” Shaughnessy said. “It’s bigger and we can have more activities going on with splitting the gym into two separate sides. Our youth programs can work on building their skills while our other teams are practicing. This will have an impact on our SL Wildcats success in the future.”

Students got their first official look at the new gym the afternoon before the first game when the school held a pep rally.

The gym is part of a $14.7 million renovation and expansion project.

Work is nearly complete. All that remains is the conversion of the old gym into an auditorium.

School officials plan an open house formal grand opening when all the work is done in March.

The construction project is technically two projects — a $13.4 million upgrade of the existing school building and a separate $1.3 million conversion of the current combination gym/auditorium into an auditorium.

Voters approved both measures June 28, 2006.

The first proposition totals $13,398,159.

It called for repairs to the school’s exterior, replacement of single-pane windows and doors installed in the 1960s, installation of a state-mandated storm water basin, installation of mandated fire doors, installation of safety systems, asbestos and lead containment, installation of a state-mandated elevator for handicap accessibility, electrical upgrades, an energy efficiency system, replacement of boilers and internet accessibility.

The proposition also called for construction of five new classrooms for pre-kindergarten, elementary science, special education, speech and occupational and physical therapy as well as a gymnasium and locker rooms. Current classrooms have been refurbished.

The second proposition totals $1,329,742.

It calls for the current combination gym/auditorium to be converted into an auditorium with additional permanent seating, improved lighting, improved sound system and new stage rigging and curtains.

Port Henry business marks 25 years Fashion Corner offers fun to its customers

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The Fashion Corner has been selling gowns, dresses and more for a quarter century. The secret to its success?

“It’s supposed to be fun when you’re shopping for a special dress,” said Natalie Clark, Fashion Corner owner. “You’re preparing

for an important event, it should be enjoyable. We try to make it that way.”

Apparently Clark and her associates Jeanne Suddard and Candy Baker succeed.

“The girls always say ‘Thank you for letting us have fun’,” Clark said.

The Fashion Corner is marking its 25th anniversary in 2011.

Ida and Tom Ruch opened the boutique Nov. 26, 1985. Clark started work there the following April and Suddard a few months later.

When the Ruchs moved in 1992, Clark bought the store.

“I enjoyed working here,” Clark

recalled of her decision to buy the business. “When Ida and Tom wanted to sell it made sense to buy it. I still enjoy coming to work every day.”

While Fashion Corner customers are allowed — even urged — to have fun, there is more to the store’s success.

“We have a good reputation, word of mouth advertising is very good for us,” Clark said. “We have good customer service; we keep our prices very competitive; we keep up with current styles.”

While its located ina small town, the Fashion Corner is big-time in the dress world. With an inventory

of more than 500 prom gowns, more than 200 wedding dresses, more than 400 mother ’s dresses, bride’s maid and flower girl dresses, tuxedos for men and more, the Fashion Corner attracts business from miles away.

“People drive three hours to shop here,” Clark said. “We sell dresses to people from Quebec, Potsdam, Albany, St. Johnsbury, Vt., all over. We have a very large selection, one of the largest.”

In 2010 the Fashion Corner sold 292 prom dresses and 100 wedding dresses.

The Port Henry store is now serving second and third genera-

tion customers.

“I sold a prom dress last week to a girl,” Suddard said. “I sold her mother a prom dress years ago.”

Customers have changed in the last 25 years, Clark and Suddard agree.

“People are different, they expect more,” Clark said. “Most know, or think they know, exactly what they want when they walk through the door. They’ve been online and seen all the styles.”

But while people expect more, they’re still a joy to service, Clark said.

Store From page 16 “In the 25 years we’ve had maybe two ‘bride-zillas’,” she said. “Most people are fantastic.”

Spring is busy at the Fashion Corner because of proms and weddings. To accommodate customers the shop is now open on Sundays through May. Fashion Corner customers can be sure they’ll see the latest styles at the Port Henry store. Clark makes regular trips to fashion shows in New York and reads fashion magazines to keep up with the latest trends. She also regularly asks her customers, particular teen-age girls, what they like.

Located at 4325 Main St. in Port Henry, the Fashion Corner is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It can be reached at 546-7499 and can be found on Facebook.

The past year has been difficult for the Fashion Corner because of the loss of the Lake Champlain Bridge. Clark estimates more than half her business came from Vermont before the bridge was demolished. She’s hopeful that business returns when a new bridge opens this fall.

“It’s been a tough year, but we’re still kickin’,” Suddard said.

What does the future hold for the Fashion Corner?

“I don’t know about the future, but I’ll stay as long as I enjoy it and feel good,” said Clark, age 70.

“What else would I do? I’d probably just sit at home.”

The Fashion Corner in Port Henry is marking its 25th anniversary in 2011. Owner Natalie Clark, right, and Jeanne Suddard have been with the store almost from the start.

Flatiron Project Manager Mark Mallett awards two checks —one from his company and the other from employees — to Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider, center, and Councilwoman Yvonne Dushane for the Crown Point Methodist Church Food Shelf. The checks total nearly $1,000.

Flatiron is constructing the new Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point, which is expected to open in October.

October opening expected

Celebration planned for bridge opening CROW POINT — The Lake Champlain Bridge Coalition has announced the formation of the Lake Champlain Bridge Community.

The New York State Department of Transportation has entrusted the coalition and LCB Community to create, plan and lead the public festivities that will celebrate the replacement and re-opening of the Lake Champlain Bridge. The celebration will also showcase the reunited regional communities of Addison, Vt., and Crown Point.

The LCB Community will hold a public meeting on Monday, Jan. 24, at 6 p.m. at the Crown Point Historic Site Museum. The purpose of the public meeting is to encourage area residents, business owners and other stakeholders to join the LCB Community and become involved in the celebration planning by serving on a committee, volunteering time or offering ideas.

People unable to attend the meeting are still welcome to join the LCB Community or offer their ideas for the event. The committees will plan and organize a proposed twoday event and coordinate fundraising and marketing of the celebration.

“When NYSDOT entrusted the planning of this historic event to us, they emphasized that this should be a grassroots celebration,” said Karen Hennessey, co-chair of the LCB

Community and owner of Sugar Hill Manor B&B in Crown Point. “That’s why it’s so important for us to reach out to community members and gather input as to what shape and form these celebration activities should take. We welcome everyone’s input— whether or not you can be at the meeting on Jan. 24t” The date of the bridge re-opening is yet to be announced by New York’s and Vermont’s transportation departments and Flatiron Construction, the firm constructing the new bridge. Plans call for the bridge to be completed in October 2011.

“The 1929 celebration of the first Lake Champlain Bridge has been the inspiration and guiding force for this upcoming event,” said Lorraine Franklin, co-chair of the LCB Community and owner of West Addison (Vt.) General Store. “Forty thousand people attended the opening in 1929, and we hope our event will far surpass that landmark celebration. This will be our celebration, and we all look forward to the day the second Lake Champlain Bridge is open.”

KNOW WHEN TALKING TO A CHILD ABOUT SAFETY? Don’t forget your older children.

Children aged 11 to 17 are equally at risk to victimization. At the same time you are giving your older children more freedom, make sure they understand important safety rules as well.

Children do not need to be frightened to get the point across. In fact, fear can thwart the safety message, because fear can be paralyzing to a child.

Speak openly.

Children will be less likely to come to you about issues shrouded in secrecy. If they feel that you are comfortable discussing the subject at hand, they may be more forthcoming.

Established 1848 HUB O F THE ADIRONDACKS

Children do not have the same understanding of “strangers” as adults; the concept is difficult for them to grasp. And, based on what we know about those who harm children, people known to children and/or their families actually present a greater danger to children than do “strangers.”

Practice what you preach.

Child predators roam cyberspace specifically in chatrooms and social media sites looking for their next victim. Allowing your young children and teens to use the internet without some level of supervision can be a very slippery slope.

Approximately one in seven youth online (10 to 17 years old) received a sexual solicitation or approach over the internet.

Teach your children that safety is more important than manners.

In other words, it is more important for children to get themselves out of a threatening situation than it is to be polite.

They also need to know that it is okay to tell you what happened, and they won’t be tattletales.

‘Cats open new gym with victories Schroon, Ti, Moriah girls win

Schroon, Ti, Moriah boys win

The Schroon Lake Lady Wildcats used a 17-7 fourth quarter to push their way past a tough Willsboro Lady Warriors team for a 42-25 Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference win Jan. 5, opening the new Schroon gym.

The Warriors played a tough game defensively, led by the efforts of Kyli Swires, who held Schroon Lake’s Jocelyn Bowen scoreless until the final minute of the first half. Bowen finished with 11 points, five rebounds and five steals, well below her season average, not hitting her first field goal until 3:49 in the third quarter.

“Jocelyn got more aggressive in the second half,” Wildcats head coach Lee Silvernail said after the game.

“We talked and she knew that it was her time to get going.”

Swires finished the game with five points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals in an overall impressive effort for the Warriors.

For the Wildcats, Rebecca Armstrong led the team with 12 points and 13 rebounds, while Ashley Subra added 10 points and eight rebounds, Katelyn Rose scored seven points with five rebounds.

Hannah Bruno scored eight points for the Warriors, while Amanda Mahoney had seven points to go with 12 rebounds. Derene Holland added five points, while Renee Marcotte had another strong rebounding game with 10 boards.

—by Keith Lobdell

The Willsboro boys varsity basketball team came out hot against Schroon Lake Jan. 5, holding a 17-11 lead midway through the second quarter.

Then, the wheels came off.

The Wildcats scored 37 of the next 45 points, as Schroon Lake scored a Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference 60-46 win in the inaugural game at the new Schroon Lake gym.

“We let up on our defensive intensity,” coach Jim Spring said. “I think we got a little confident and relaxed. Then, when the shots were not falling, we started to panic and rushed things.”

The Wildcats finished the second quarter on a 13-2 run and then jumped out on a 16-2 run to start the third.

“I think that the kids wee anxious coming into the first game in the new gym and going up against a good team in Willsboro,” coach Dana Shaughnessy said.

“Willsboro got out to a lead, but we got our composure back and started to play like ourselves.”

The Warriors outscored the Wildcats 21-12 in the final quarter, but were 5-for16 from the free thrown line in the final eight minutes.

“It wasn’t just the free throws, though,” Spring said about the poor shooting performance.

“We missed lay-ups, too. This is the third game in a row that we have had a bad shooting night.”

Ian Williams led a balanced attack for Schroon with 16 points, while Jesse Shaughnessy scored 14 points to go with 10 rebounds, four assists and seven steals, Anthony Vanderwalker scored 13 points to go with 12 rebounds and Uriah Harvey scored seven points.

Alex Hamel paced the Warriors with 19 points and seven rebounds, with Clay Sherman adding 10 points and three blocked shots.

Brandon Bertrand pulled down 12 rebounds in the loss.

Ex-Sentinels in bowl game

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A pair of Ticonderoga athletes will be on a national stage this weekend.

Heath Geiser and Kris Ross will play with the Plattsburgh North Stars when the semipro football team takes part in National Bowl Weekend in Deland, Fla. “It’s going to be an awesome experience,” Geiser said. “This has never happened before; it’s pretty exciting.”

The North Stars will play the Washington, D.C., Explosion at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 16, at Spec Martin Stadium.

A radio play-by-play of the game will be available over the internet

by Champs Sports Network.

There are more than 800 semipro football in the United States, Geiser explained. The top 10 have been invited to play in five bowl games in Florida this weekend.

The North Stars earned their place in the game by going 11-1 in 2010 and winning the Empire Football League championship.

Plattsburgh is currently ranked in three published national polls.

The North Stars are ranked seventh in the American Football Top 25, 15th in the American Football News Today poll and 22nd in the National Football Events Coaches Poll.

The Washington, D.C., Explosion comes into the game with an 11-3 record.

“This is a big deal,” Geiser said. “I love football and this is a great way to go out.”

Geiser, a former Ticonderoga High School player, has played 16 years — the last nine with the North Stars.

“I’m calling it quits after this game,” he said. “I still love football, but I’m just too old.”

Geiser is a running back. Ross plays in the North Stars secondary.

TICONDEROGA — A pair of Ticonderoga High School alumni got the New Year off to a good start by winning the annual Resolution Run Jan. 1.

Lee Gabler toured the 5-kilometer (3.1 miles) course in downtown Ti in 16 minutes, 33 seconds to win.

Both are former Ti High cross country and track state qualifiers.

The event included a five-kilometer (3.1 miles) run, a four-kilometer (2.5 miles) walk and a .75mile run for children.

Rachel Ward led walkers and Janna Rutkowski set the pace in the children’s race.

Both events began and ended at the Community Building on Montcalm Street.

The course followed Lake Champlain Avenue to Water Street to Lake George Avenue back to Montcalm Street.

All proceeds from the vent were donated to the local food pantry.

Back to the land of ice and snow

A

fter a brief thaw, snow cover has returned to the North Country, and with it comes a host of activities from skiing and sliding to snow forts and snowball fights.

Unfortunately, across much of the region, there has not yet been enough snow cover to accommodate snowmobiles. In Ray Brook, the railroad tracks in my backyard have remained untracked, except for the passing wildlife.

When it comes to Adirondack winter tourism, white brings the green! Although the list of recreational options is severely limited by a lack of snow, it pays to remember that there is still a lot of winter left and there are still a lot of opportunities available.

Currently, the majority of the region’s lake and ponds have good ice cover, and I’ve received numerous reports of some nice fish being taken on the early ice.

Cross country skiers, snowshoers and skaters have been busy, as have the ice climbers and backcountry skiers. Fortunately, the weather has been cold enough for communities to maintain municipal ice rinks, and elsewhere, the pond hockey season is in full swing.

The Northville-Placid Trail Although I’m not much of a computer geek, I recently came across an interesting new website created by Tom Wemett, a self professed “NPT fanatic.”

The website, www.nptrail.org, is dedicated to the Northville-Placid Trail, (NPT), which originally spanned nearly 133 miles of the Adirondack backcountry. The trail, which was designed and constructed by

Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) volunteers beginning in 1921. It was completed in 1923 as one of the ADK’s first projects.

The NPT still serves to connect a variety of Adirondack communities and habitats, from lakes to mountains, valleys to swamps and all points between. But, unlike the more mountainous trails that dominate the High Peaks area, the NPT is primarily a ‘valley romp’ that travels primarily through the river valleys and lowland forests surrounding the ponds and lakes of the region.

The trail was constructed to take advantage of rail transportation, with the terminus at both ends beginning at the local New York Central Railroad stations of the two communities. In 1923, there were only a few good roads in the Adirondacks, and cars were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today.

Although The NPT was originally 133 miles long, the southern end now begins in Upper Benson, a few miles north of Northville. The north end is the Chubb River bridge on the Averyville Road in Lake Placid, a few miles from the old train station. These changes diminish the trail’s total distance to about 121 miles, but it also reduces the hiking on highways.

Despite the fact that the trail will be a century old in 2011, it may actually be “wilder” today, than when it was first developed.

In the 1920’s, lumbering was still a major Adirondack industry and much of the land, and the rivers bore industrial scars, or burned over lands.

In fact, many sections of trail incorporated old logging roads that had been de-

THE SENIORS PAGE Essex County Office for the Aging 518-873-3695 • 877-464-1637 County Complex, Elizabethtown, NY 12932 Just Beet It! A study funded by the National Institutes of Health indicates that beets should be added to the list of superfoods that are beneficial to seniors as they age. The study found that a daily dose of beet juice boosts blood to the brain, increasing oxygen and creating safeguard against dementia. Researchers also concluded that a diet that includes beets and other nitrate rich foods can lower blood pressure and improve exercise performance. Other foods high in nitrates include celery, radishes, fennel, leeks, kohlrabi, carrots, strawberries, cabbage, and leafy green vegetables like spinach and some lettuce. The USDA recommends that adults consume 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

Medicare Part B Coverage Starting Jan. 1, 2011, you will pay nothing for most preventive services if you get the services from a doctor or other health care provider who accepts assignment. For some preventive services, you will pay nothing for the service, but you may have to pay coinsurance for the office visit when you get these services.

[If you’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) or have other insurance, your costs may be different.

Contact your plan or benefits administrator directly to find out about the costs.

Staying Safe and Warm Cold weather can be more than just a nuisance to older folks.

In fact, it can be dangerous because it can lead to “hypothermia”.

Hypothermia occurs when your core body temperature falls too low. You do not have to be stranded for hours in a blizzard for hypothermia to occur. It is possible for your core body temperature to drop if you are only outside a short time. In fact, core body temperature can drop while you are indoors sitting in your favorite chair in a chilly house.

To keep your body insulated when outdoors, wear a hat and gloves and dress in layers. Come inside frequently to get warmed up. Use weather condition and forecast information for guidance on how to dress and how long to stay outside.

One way to reduce the risk of hypothermia indoors is to wear adequate clothing. Dress in layers and wear socks. Consider using a lap robe when sitting for long periods of time, and be sure to have plenty of blankets on your bed at night.

Another way to reduce the risk of indoor hypothermia is to make sure our home is well insulated and your furnace is working efficiently. Even curtains and draperies can be a good source of energy conservation. Open them during the day when the sun is shining and sit in the rooms that are warmed by the sun, and then close the curtains at night so they can act as an insulator around the window.

Among the less obvious risk factors for hypothermia are health issues and medication. Many illnesses and conditions can interfere with your body’s ability to regulate heat. Some prescription and over-the-counter medications can make you more vulnerable to hypothermia and how you should compensate for it.

Some common symptoms of hypothermia are uncontrollable shivering, slow speech, confusion and disorientation, poor coordination and drowsiness. These symptoms can develop slowly, making hypothermia hard to recognize.

LOST & FOUND PLEASE HELP! My children’s hearts are broken. Our Sunshine has been missing since November 23, 2010, the same day that our dog Shady staggered into our home bleeding from the head and mouth, dying from wounds inflicted by a hollow shell bullet. Its is bad enough to loose a member of our family but to never find the body of the other is cruel. Please help us put Sunshine to rest humanely with closure for my children and I, and so we know, at least in death she has the dignity she rightfully deserves. Sunshine is a german shepard/golden retreiver mix. Her color is brindle and she has a bobbed tail.

We hope and pray still a friendly dog.

Please help us have a New Year miracle.

If you know of her whereabouts, please call us at 802-349-3489. Last seen at Silver Hill Road, Witherbee on the morning of November 23rd.
