community,” said Kama Ingleston, who edited the book. “When you shine a light on the history of one town you encourage people to investigate history as a whole and that’s good for everyone.”

Crown Point became an incorporated town March 23, 1788. To mark the anniversary the Penfield Homestead Museum has published the “Historic Guide to Crown Point, New York – Celebrating 225 Years – 1788 – 2013.”

The 40-page book took a year to produce and is sponsored by the Ticonderoga Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution,

The Gabriel Fund, White Church III Association and the Honey Bee Fund of Essex.

“The history of Crown Point is much, much older than 1788,” Ingleston noted. “Fort St. Frederic was built and occupied by the French in the 1730s and many historians believe that Samuel de Champlain fought the battle with Iroquois in July 1609 on this peninsula.”

Ti program takes aim at healthy lifestyle Group drops 2,000 pounds

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga area is a ton lighter this year than in 2012.

That’s the pounds lost by members of the community’s “weight-loss challenge” a year ago. But that’s just the beginning. Now starting its second year, the program has set a goal of 10,000 pounds lost for 2013.

“It’s been amazing to watch,” said Jessica Paradis, the wellness coach who leads the program. “I’m surprised how it has taken off. People really want to be part of a successful program.”

In 2012, 89 people took part in the program, losing an average of 22.5 pounds each.

This year 200 have registered to date.

Paradis started the challenge with a single group last year. She now directs three groups that meet in Ticonderoga weekly to discuss healthy living strategies.

“Jessica is changing lives,” said Laurie Burns of Ticonderoga, a challenge participant. “She’s wonderful.”

Though called a “weight-loss challenge,” Paradis stressed it is not solely a weight-loss program.

“It’s a wellness program,” Paradis explained. “I meet with each person to determine their health goals and then help them

meet those goals. For most people it is about weight loss, but others want to lower there blood pressure or cholesterol. Others just want to eat healthier.

“It’s about educating people and helping them develop a healthy lifestyle,” she added.

Paradis, a teacher at Ticonderoga High School, knows the program works. She lost 150 pounds using it. She so believes in it, she became a coach and now runs her own “challenge.”

“I didn’t do well at the start, it took me some time to understand how the program works,” Paradis related. “It took me two years, but it worked.

“I love to see the success others are having,” she added. “It’s like I’m reliving the moment. The health benefits, the before and after, are just amazing.”

Each challenge group is divided into two teams. Each meeting includes a discussion of a health-related topic — diet, exercise, heart health, digestive health, maintenence, etc. — followed by a weigh in. The team that makes the most progress is declared the winner that week.

Results are posted on a Facebook page along with inspirational quotes, advice, recipes and other information.

The program is non-profit and Paradis doesn’t get paid. There is a $35 registration

fee. That money is used for prizes and refreshments.

“Each week we discuss a piece of overall wellness,” Paradis said. “It’s when you understand how the pieces go together that great things happen. This is not a diet, it’s a lifestyle change. The goal is always to promote healthy living.”

A challenge is 12 weeks long. Goals aren’t always met, Paradis admitted. Often people will sign up for a second challenge.

The program is becoming so popular Paradis is hoping another wellness coach steps forward.

“I have a group that meets Tuesdays at the library (Black Watch Memorial Library in Ti) and two groups that meet back-to-back Wednesdays at the (Ti) high school,” she said. “I also help people one-on-one and, of course, I have a job teaching. I have to be careful that I still have a life.

“But, I do love it,” Paradis added. “I love to get calls, texts and Facebook messages from people meeting their goals. I love it when people get results. As a teacher, I want to see people succeed.”

Wendy Courtright of Port Henry has succeeded in the program. She wanted to lose 28 pounds during her “challenge.” She lost 48.

“I feel awesome,” she said. “I feel so much better. I have so much more energy for my

EMS personnel troubled by missing address numbers in Ti fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Area emergency personnel are pleading with residents to post their house numbers prominently on their homes and mail boxes.

“When we get dispatched we are given an address,” explained Mark Barber, captain of the Ticonderoga Emergency Squad. “Sometimes we have a name, but even if we do we don’t always know that person or where they live. When we respond to a call, we’re looking for a house number.”

They don’t always find it.

“There have been many times we couldn’t find a number and driven right past a house,” Barber said. “Then we either get a call saying we drove past or we stop at a house and knock on a door asking if they know who needs an ambulance.”

Posting a number on a home or mail box isn’t enough, Barber stressed. It has to be large enough to be visible.

“If we can’t see it, it’s of no help,” Barber said. “Night-

time is a big problem. And sometimes, the numbers are on a house, but they’re covered by plants or ornaments.”

Don Jaquish, Essex County director of emergency services, said missing house numbers is a big problem throughout the county.

“It’s a huge problem,” Jaquish said. “Compliance is lacking, to be sure.”

Besides being a good idea, having a visible number for emergency personnel is a law in Essex County. The law was adopted when the country went to a 911 emergency dispatch system, according Jaquish.

That law reads “It shall be the responsibility of every person who owns, uses or occupies any structure to display address numbers in compliance with the following: “A number shall be prominently placed in the front (road side) of every house or structure having a separate address number.

“Mail boxes shall be marked with the house/structure number if the box is in front of and on the same side of the street as the house/structure.

“If the house/structure is not visible from the road and no mail box is beside the driveway leading to the house/structure, a sign or number post shall be erected to display the number. This sign or number post may display the number either vertically, from the top down, or horizontally.

“The structure number must be placed high enough so that it will not be obscured by snow during an average winter.

“The structure’s number must be visible from the street or road, and shall not be or allowed to become obscured by tress, brush or otherwise.

“The number shall be reflected, 3 to 4 inches in size, and if affixed to a mail box the number shall be on both sides.”

People who do not have their homes properly numbered can be fined up to $100 a day, according to the law.

Jaquish admitted the law is not well enforced.

“Who’s going to enforce it,” Jaquish said of the 911 law. “I know I don’t want to be the 911 police.”

Egging vandals caught in Ti

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Five people, who took to the streets egging random cars on freezing nights in recent weeks, have been arrested for third-degree criminal mischief.

Ticonderoga police arrested Kayla Bennett, age 20, of Putnam, Ariana Stevens, 17, of Ticonderoga, Jessica Forkas, 19, of Ticonderoga, Amanda Lang, 21, of Ticonderoga, and Darian McDonough, 19, of Ticonderoga, for egging five cars on two separate evenings.

Police Chief Mark Johns said they went out on Jan. 15 and 22 and threw eggs on other vehicles at random while riding in one of the suspect’s car around Ticonderoga.

They were arrested between Jan. 24 and the 26 and were issued appearance tickets for town of Ticonderoga court.

Johns said each party was charged with felony third-degree as all parties were present when a car was hit causing more than $250 worth of damage to the paint of the vehicle.

Johns said this is the first case of vandalism in Ticonderoga since November.

“Last incident we had was graffiti and that incident ended in an arrest, too,” Johns said. “We don’t normally have many cases of vandalism in the winter time.”

DWI charged lodged Two men were charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated recently, according to state police.

Jerry W. Rule, 42, of Schroon Lake was charged Jan. 22 after a state forest ranger saw him driving drunk out of a store parking lot around 11:30 p.m., police said. He had also fallen in the lot and appeared to be intoxicated while in the store, police said.

His blood alcohol content was found to be 0.18 percent, more than double the 0.08 percent threshold for intoxication, according to police.

Rule called a friend to come to the state police station to post bail. When that man arrived troopers determined he was also intoxicated, officials said.

Police said the friend, Michael J. McDonald, 47, of Averill Park was found to have a blood alcohol contest of 0.16 percent.

Rule was charged with misdemeanor aggravated DWI while McDonald was charged with misdemeanor DWI. McDonald was released while Rule was sent to Essex County Jail for lack of bail.

Times of Ti Editorial

Early voting warrants more consideration

T

he members of the New York State Legislature recently drew the ire of many residents by rushing to pass a bill, a mistake that should not be repeated when it comes to the topic of early voting.

Members of both parties are looking at an early voting bill (Assembly Bill No. 689 and Senate Bill 1461), which would allow residents of New York state to vote as early as 14 days before the General Election in November and seven days before a primary election.

Something probably should be done to curb the trend of low voter turnout. We have to look no further than the village of Keeseville, which held a vote Jan. 22 that in large part determined the future of the municipality. In the end, village residents voted to dissolve their municipality by a total of 268 votes in favor of dissolution to 176 against. The residents spoke — or did they?

In total, 444 votes were cast in the matter, which can be seen as good voter turnout.

However, there are 955 registered voters in the village and roughly 1,800 residents.

There was not even a 50-percent turnout in a village vote that meant residents would never get to have another village vote.

We feel that this is a shame, that so few people cared about the fact that their way of life will certainly change. Whether it is for the better or for the worse is a debate that will still be had, but change it will, and only 46 percent of the registered voters in the town took the five minutes out of their lives to make their voices heard on one of the most important votes in the history of the village (made even more so because of the outcome). So, while we commend those who took to the polls, the majority of Keeseville residents should be ashamed of their apathy, expecially if their vote could have changed the outcome.

The turnout for the General Election statewide in 2012 was also 46 percent, a number which ranked New York as having the third lowest voter turnout in the nation.

So something is wrong and needs to be changed, and we can agree with that. Lawmakers are saying that they want this to be enacted for this election season, which begins with primaries in September and the General Election Nov. 5.

In a way, it sounds a lot like the legislative push on gun violence: here’s the problem, lets fix it now, here’s an idea, passed.

On this one, the legislature needs to take a deep breath and listen to the foot soldiers, the ones who have been put in charge of the matter at the county level.

In Essex County, Democratic Commissioner to the Board of Elections Robert PelldeChame basically called out lawmakers for what would be yet another unfunded state mandate, making counties spend more money on poll workers that would have to be set up in one of at least five early voting polling sites spread throughout the county. Additional mileage would also have to be paid.

To make matters worse, bringing early voting to the state this year would give counties an unfunded mandate that they are not even prepared for, with counties already having spending plans for the year in place and, in the case of Essex County, having very little wiggle room to fund a new mandate from the state.

So please, lawmakers, on this one, take a step back, look at all of the issues that come with this decision, and not just the ones that would lead to quick passage of these bills. You’ve already done that once this year, and it didn’t work out very well for you.

Politically correct or bust?

I

t’s a term we hear bantered about in so many of the everyday things we think and do. The term is called “politically correct,” and it has become far more than just trying to keep in step with modern society.

Being politically correct seems to be invading all parts of our society. Nobody wants to be politically incorrect because we’ve been told it’s wrong and we’re wrong if we’re not acting, speaking or even thinking correctly with the “mainstream” of political wisdom.

When did our political system start dictating our attitude, our way of thinking, speaking, acting or just being ourselves? Is our political system now in complete control of how Americans must live in this the land of the free? In a culture that at one time prided itself on individualism, are we now being herded down a path of “get in step or else?”

There is a lot of talk these days about the First and Second Amendment Rights in the U.S. Constitution. Is it really politicians who now dictate how we must live in order to be correctly in line with their version American society? Have they changed us from constituents to subjects?

Somehow I fear we’ve allowed them to divide us into two schools of thought and labeled us Red and Blue. But why, with over 300 million people in the country, can’t we have various opinions? Are our political parties a reflection of the voters, or have the political parties divided us?

And who is prospering the most from political correctness?

As an example, growing up I did not come from a gun-oriented family. We had no guns, so I don’t have a strong bias toward the issue of gun ownership one way or another. On the issue of outlawing certain guns from law-abiding citizens because of the actions of a few unstable people doesn’t make sense any more than removing prayer from government property and educational institutions because a small minority claims to be offended.

That doesn’t mean I favor the senseless killing of innocent lives any more than I favor the right to force anyone to worship only my God. Growing up, my parents and teachers taught me to think for myself. They were happy to provide guidance, but I was never encouraged to do anything but rea-

son out my own thought process and reach a conclusion of my own.

Common Dan Alexander sense, basic Thoughts from logic, Behind the Pressline learning how to do my own research and recognizing right from wrong was all I needed to guide me to a position. Once that position was reached, others might try to persuade me.

As an individual, you were respected for developing a position, and for either standing by it or being persuaded to alter that position if you were shown where your information or logic was flawed.

Sadly political correctness is most recently from the Marxism culture dating back to World War I and World War II. If we compare the basic principles of political correctness with other cultures through the ages, the parallels are obvious. It’s a path we should not celebrate but try hard to avoid.

So why are we so quick to give our government so much control, and why are these laws and rulings being handed down without much public debate? With so much information available today, we can’t claim to be uniformed. Are we just distracted and preoccupied, or are we being asked to let down our guard and allow others to think for us while being discouraged from independent thinking?

When you consider the state of our economy, the ongoing stalemate taking place in halls of government coupled with the extravagances blooming in Washington, and the condition of radical states around the world, one has to wonder if we are still a fiercely independent nation, one that is ever evolving, one that was the envy of the world.

We should not take lightly any changes to the rights we have been given by our forefathers, regardless of the implied intention of the changes.

Letters to the Editor

Angel Connection thankful To the Times of Ti:

Gun rights touted

Conservation opportunities

To the Times of Ti:

Angel Connection is a non profit organization that promotes and assists in the spaying/neutering of cats in Ticonderoga and surrounding communities. Due to the generous support of many local businesses and individuals we have been able to provide a service that results in healthy cats as well as a healthy community. At this time Angel Connection would like to thank everyone for their help over the years.

Dr. Mack, Noel and their staff who have given their time and efforts to help save, fix and shelter so many cats.

Sugar & Spice Country Shoppe owned by Robin and Tim McGrath who allow us to show our cats there and find good homes.

The business that have assisted us with fund raisers and have done them on our behalf. The Country Florist, Hot Biscuit, Montcalm Liquors, Jay’s Sunoco, Rathburn’s Jewelry, Rite Aid, Wagon Wheel Restaurant, Burleigh Luncheonette, Subway, Aubuchon Hardware, McDonald’s, Fire House Restaurant, Walmart, Winchild and International Paper Ti Mill for all their donations.

Lowe’s who gave us a shed to put our donated bottles and cans in and Gin’s Redemption Center for all of their help.

Tony’s Ticonderoga Sports for their donation of oil changes to keep our van running well. Bond Auto in Saratoga for choosing our van as a demo for their new truck bed coating. Also, Village Auto for hooking us up with them and donating their time to do the prep work on the van.

Thanks to Kathy Bigelow who owns Ye Olde Fort View Inn for her love of cats, helping us to find homes and for her generous donation of gift certificates for our fund raisers.

The ladies who run the spay/neuter clinic in Colchester, Vt. Without them we would not be able to offer a low cost spay/neuter program.

The generosity of the people who donate their bottles and cans has been wonderful. Also, all the animal lovers who have made donations during the holidays and throughout the years.

We thank you and bless you all. We look forward to a great year in 2013.

Medicare, women, press To the Times of Ti: While Medicare became a law, passed by congress and signed by Lyndon Johnson, the original idea was, in my opinion, a novel plan that President John Kennedy was pursuing before he was killed. I have always felt that this was true for he had the courage, the intelligence, the vision and the compassion for all the people to envisage a course of action like this for all of us forever.

However, talk about Medicare may also continue forever and I will talk about Medicare if I am fortunate enough to be able to try for the seat in congress from the 21st district, New York next year.

I would like to mention something that I think is interesting and that is the fact that I mentioned to the powers at be last year, that in my opinion many months before the actual election on Nov. 6, 2012, that representative Bill Owen, would win re-election. It certainly is not that God gave me special knowledge, it is just that I looked at things from a different angle.

Something else that also could be looked at from a different angle is the fact that women in the country of Egypt are not treated as equals for they are granted little or no rights in Egypt by the new government in Egypt.

All women in America can just have a “state of mind” opposing and money and war material our government gives Egypt now.

If there are those who would like to emphasize this “state of mind” by some sort of physical or tangible organization then there is, of course, the instituto cardenal, where upon I am only the spokesman, temporary and on acting director with respect to the many other issues that we encounter on a daily basis.

Incidentally, (in five syllables) the state government presented a budget today and if I were running for that office next year I would ask that at least a million or two be set aside for a field of study that might find a way to address the $63 billion debt New York state has now.

On another subject it is apparent that the media shares with us some of the news and much is withheld and covered up. Although there are numberous examples of these covered up events, I would like to share one that recently appeared on TV last week. It was a film clip of President Ronald Regan leaving and as he approached his limousine shots were fired and were clearly heard. For a few seconds we watched and then the filming was cut and the next few seconds did not appear. During these next few seconds we watched numerous huge, long guns were out and everywhere flailing left and right with one rifle parted skyward as if a rooftop threat was possible.

I saw this at the time it happened but never again. The press keeps it for themselves.

Stilling Knight Huletts Landing

To the Times of Ti:

I see Mr. Gary P. Guido (letter to the editor Jan. 19) did not answered my question as to “Why legal law abiding gun owners must be punished with these new laws” nor has anyone “Before you ask for our guns I ask you take a deep breath and think.” Laws should be written and enacted, not on emotions but for the good and best interest of the people as a whole, without trampling our Constitutional rights. You also need to read the article (editorial) written in the Times of Ti Jan. 26 titled “Cuomo’s gun law will do little to prevent further violence.”

Mr. Guido states “there will still be deranged people out there who will unfortunately kill, but just like the coming of a new day we can’t stop it” so he concedes that there is no way to stop this type of carnage yet he believes the best and only way to stop these people is with stricter gun laws for law abiding legal gun owners? Is that not an unintelligent statement? That our days will be “brighter and safer?” Where is the deterrent to stop them (deranged and the criminals)? Could it be our judicial system is screwed up by not keeping the criminals and deranged people locked up or getting them the help they need? The mental health laws in place now need to be changed for as they stand now they protect only the mentally ill’s rights and not the public and too many fall between the cracks. We need a better way to protect not only our children but ourselves from these people without infringing on our constitutional rights or theirs.

We have an assault weapon ban in NYS it is still in effect from the 1994 AWB which was not reinstated in 2004 and in 2004 critical review of research on firearms by a National Research Council <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_National_Research_Council> panel also noted that academic studies of the assault weapon ban ‘did not reveal any clear impacts on gun violence’ and noted ‘due to the fact that the relative rarity with which the banned guns were used in crime before the ban ... the maximum potential effect of the ban on gun violence outcomes would be very small.”

You ask who is asking for our guns. Do you read the news, watch television or listen to the radio? What do you think these laws entail? Do you even have a clue or are you just talking to talk? Apparently you didn’t see what Gov. Cuomo wanted in our new bill (and did not get); it was to confiscate our weapons.

Sen. (Diane) Feinstein is putting forth a bill in which, assault weapons (all), rifles (some), pistols/handguns and shot guns will be illegal to own but police and government officials may own them. The one she wants to pass but knows it won’t is to ban guns altogether. No one minds the background or the NICS check, it is the weapons and ammo we wish to purchase or have that will be kept in a data base that I mind. It’s none of the government’s business or yours to which weapons I own, how many or how much ammo I purchase and who are you or they to tell me it is? Why does the government or you for that matter think you have the right to tell me how many rounds I can have in my clip or magazine or what gun I can purchase? Since I am a responsible gun owner do you not think I know how many rounds I might need? Do you know what the Second Amendment even states (hint: it has nothing to do with hunting) “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” and upheld by the Supreme Court. The governors, senators, congress and other legislators take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America which includes the Second Amendment. Something they need to remember. If I do not break the law or haven’t broken the law what does it matter what I own? It is an insult to me and impugns my reputation as a responsible law abiding citizen and gun owner.

Fear the ‘new world order’ To the Times of TI:

In late December, Richard and Leanna DeNeale donated a conservation easement to Champlain Area Trails that will keep their farmland open for farming, preserve their beautiful forest, protect clean water, and provide the public with a hiking/skiing trail. We thank them for this generous act and for their vision of open lands surrounding our scenic and historic hamlets. Stay tuned for the first public hikes on the new trail which we plan to open this summer.

The DeNeales and other donors of conservation easements (which are landowner agreements to encourage sustainable actions like best forest and agricultural management practices and restrict certain uses like haphazard residential development) may qualify for state and federal incentives to conserve open space, productive land, wildlife habitat, clean water, and scenic vistas. These incentives provide income tax benefits and state reimbursements of 25 percent of the property taxes up to $5,000.

Landowners should welcome the good news that Congress recently voted to protect clean water, natural areas and working family farms by extending the enhanced federal tax benefits for landowners who donate conservation easements to organizations like Champlain Area Trails, Open Space Institute, NE Wilderness Trust, and The Nature Conservancy.

These agreements help conserve natural resources important to the Champlain Valley and Adirondacks while keeping land in productive private ownership.

Unfortunately, this incentive is not permanent and will expire on Dec. 31, 2013. The enhanced incentive has helped land trusts work with willing landowners to increase the pace of conservation in the U.S. by a third—to about a million acres per year, but the short timeframe of this extension limits its effectiveness. Champlain Area Trails joins America’s 1,700 land trusts and their two million supporters in calling on Congress to make this important conservation tool permanent this year.

We thank Rep. Bill Owens and Sen. Kirstin Gillibrand for co-sponsoring legislation in the last Congress to make this incentive permanent. Thanks to thoughtful landowners and a helping hand from the new 113th Congress, conservation organizations will be able to conserve even more land this year and keep our farms and working forests in production.

In the central Champlain Valley, a generous private donation to our conservation partner, the Open Space Institute, will provide tremendous help in our effort to save land, protect clean water, and make trails. We encourage interested landowners to contact us (962-2287) to explore these new conservation opportunities.

With all the hype, outright lies about guns and gun control, not one word about why the government wants guns removed from the hands of law abiding citizens. It’s not about stopping crime on making little Jonnys and Suzies safer in the gun free school killing zones.

No, it’s called “The new world order.” Armed citizens cannot be enslaved by the United Nations “new world order.”

Think about what happens when the constitution and the Bill of Rights is banned. Have you ever read Hitler’s 1938 gun control act and the US of A’s 1968 gun control act? Almost word for word! Look at the millions of disarmed citizens butchered worldwide, which for your information is still going on. Those that beat their weapons into plows, will plow for those that don’t.

George Phillips Chestertown

Cuomo a politician To the Times of Ti: Excellent editorial regarding the new gun laws that were rammed through. The governor is first and foremost a politician with his sights on the White House (as if the current president isn’t liberal enough).

These laws are nothing more than a publicity stunt and will not accomplish the stated goal of reducing gun violence. After all, DWI, rape, theft, etc. are all illegal and that doesn’t seem to matter to those intent on breaking the law. Kudos to Dan Stec and Betty Little for voting against this.

Blues singer performs in Ticonderoga Teaches students about music, history, race

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga Elementary School students are too young — hopefully — to have the blues, but that doesn’t mean they can’t learn about them.

Bluesman Guy Davis marked Martin Luther King Day with a performance at the school Jan. 22, touching on music, history and race.

“Being that Martin Luther King Jr.'s day was the day before, I thought blues music would be a great way to connect our students to this integral part of Black history,” explained Russ Cook, a Ti teacher who organized the event.

Prior to the concert students completed classroom projects.

“These two educational/musical shows taught children a little history of the blues and its relevance today,” Cook said. “Guy is a fantastic performer who is keeping this distinctly American form of art alive. Our students prepared for the show by creating a backdrop for his performance, delving into blues poetry and creating the connection between this form of music and Black history.”

Davis sang songs from the Mississippi Delta, Piedmont and other areas, offering historical notes and humor between songs.

“The blues is a lot like a harmonica,” Davis told students. “Nobody knows where they came from or how they started.

“The blues are over a hundred years old,” he said. “The blues traveled the country like no music ever before, spreading from town to town.”

Singing songs like “Dust My Broom” and “The Candy Man,” Davis asked students to sing along.

Wayne Chagnon, Ti elementary music teacher, prepared for the show by giving his classes an introductory lecture on the historical foundations of the Blues.

“We started with the slave times and how the ‘African American Spiritual’ and ‘Call

and Response’ songs became the catalyst for the genre itself,” Chagnon said. “From the very beginning of the Blues to today the emphasis is still on hard times and experiencing a great loss. The genre itself opened the door for many Black performers to make there way in the music industry and also lent itself to the explosion of new music such as Jazz and Rock. The students also learned about Guy Davis through his website and Youtube videos.”

Teacher Barb Peria used the concert as an opportunity to discuss the civil rights movement with her students.

“We started out with talking about civil rights, as Guy’s recent shows were involved with storytelling in that realm,” Peria said.

“We read ‘The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963’ and viewed parts of the Spike Lee documentary ‘Four Little Girls,’ about the notorious racial bombing of an African American church during the civil rights movement.

“The sixth graders have also viewed Guy’s interview on MSG in New York and in our investigation of the biography genre have read Guy Davis’ ‘The Routes of Blues’,” she added. “The students are very excited about this storytelling genre in Blues music as many of them have never been exposed to it.

“To wrap it all up students visited one of Guy’s favorite websites, tolerance.org, which is a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center that focuses on teaching diversity, equality and respect in school and in our everyday lives,” Peria said. “Students will use this and other websites to collect information for research projects on tolerance, diversity, and other current issues in the news.”

Money for the concert came from the Box Tops for Education program that Ti parents and teachers have participated in.

Davis is the son of actors/writers Ruby Dee and the late Ossie Davis. A musician, composer, actor, director, writer and bluesman, he has appeared on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” Garrison Keillor ’s “A Prairie Home Companion” and other national programs. He had a role in the television series “One Life to Live” and has acted on

and off Broadway.

Throughout his career, Davis has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic Blues.

Davis has done residency programs for the Lincoln Center Institute, the Kennedy Cen-

ter and the State Theatre in New Jersey and works with “Young Audiences of NJ,” doing classroom workshops and assembly programs all across the country and in Canada for elementary, high school and college students.

Crown Point • Times of Ti - 11

Joseph Shaw takes the helm at Champlain National Bank

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Joseph Shaw enjoys everything the Adirondacks have to offer, including the chance to lead a local banking institution.

Shaw, who honeymooned in Lake Placid and continually returned to the area as a visitor and tourist, will now make his home in Essex as he had been named the new president and CEO-elect at Champlain National Bank.

“Our travels have consistently brought us here,” Shaw said. “We have been involved with the outdoors and skiing all of our lives and this has been an amazingly welcoming community. I get to combine what I like to do and where I work.”

Shaw, who had worked in banking in Massachusetts with First Niagara, said that he felt the chance to come to the Willsborobased financial institution was “unique.”

“This was the only time out of the offers that I have received that I went out on the interview,” Shaw said. “I found this to be a very unique opportunity with a very unique bank to see everything about how a bank operates.”

Shaw said that he has enjoyed learning about the bank and the communities that its branches are located in and working to ensure that they remain there.

“We are looking a couple of generations ahead because we truly want to do everything that we can to stay independent,” he said. “Very different decisions come out of that mindset. We want to look at who is using the products that we are offering and what the experience is like from the customer ’s point of view.”

Shaw said that he was impressed with how well advanced the bank was with technology and how solid it was financially.

“The bank is in great shape,” he said. “Jon Cooper has been a fantastic believer in sup-

porting the community, as I am too. I want to continue to keep looking at things and continue to grow off what he did and provide constant improvement.”

Shaw said that in his new role, he is actually looking forward to being closer to home when the work day ends.

“There were times that I would be gone for days and living in hotels for the trips that I had to take,” Shaw said. “With all of our branches here in the region, it is nice that I will be able to drive home at night from any of them.”

In going to those branches, Shaw said that the people have been very welcoming.

“There is an incredible sense of community, and I think that everyone likes to welcome new people into their community,” he said.

Shaw moved to the area with his wife, Debi. The couple has an adult son and daughter, who are staying at the family homestead to tend to the farmland.

The Adirondack Architectural Heritage has sponsored a “Monitor Tour” the past two years, featuring locations in Crown Point that tell the story of the Crown Point Iron Company and the iron ore that built the ironclad.

Penfield Homestead Museum is located in the Crown Point hamlet of Ironville. It is the “Birthplace of the Electrical Age.” An electromagnet, invented by Joseph Henry in 1831, was used to recharge the iron ore separator of the forges of Penfield & Taft Company. The museum is chartered by the New York State Department of Education and a not-for-profit corporation. All donations are tax deductible.

The museum is open to the public on weekends from June through October and for special tours by appointment. The museum archive is open for research by appointment through-out the year. For information call 597-3804 or go online at www.penfieldmuseum.org.

historian, said.

“The state of New York was very busy in 1788,” she said.

“In March of that year the whole state was officially divided into towns and Crown Point was one of four — Champlain, Plattsburgh, Willsboro and Crown Point — in the Clinton County. Essex County did not come to be until 1799, over 10 years later.”

The historic guide contains facts, information on people, photos, sketches, maps and a timeline of Crown Point history.

Printed in full color by Crown Point Telephone Corporation, the guide will be available at Penfield Homestead Museum and at selected area sites throughout the year.

Robert Spring, a Crown Point artist, contributed to the book.

“An important part of the booklet is the extraordinary artwork of Penfield Homestead Museum trustee and local artist Robert Spring,” Ingleston said. “Bob was so generous with his time and talent and this historic guide would not be the same without Bob’s three dozen color sketches.

“Crown Point Telephone also generously donated the use of their copyrighted map of Crown Point,” she added. “A Honey Bee Fund Grant was also instrumental in the initial research phase of the project.”

The first half of the guide contains photographs from the Penfield Homestead Museum archives.

“Some folks will recognize the people and places, but many younger people will get an important history lesson about Crown Point,” Hunsdon said.

The second half consists of seven self-guided tours in the community — The Point, The Park, The Main Street, The Factoryville, The Gabriel and The Ironville. There is a listing of important sites and a map with Spring’s sketches highlighting the location of each site.

“Another very important part of the historic guide is the inclusion of pages on the Israel Putnam Monument and Benjamin Warner and four other Soldiers of ’76 who are interred in Crown Point,” Gayle Gallant, NSDAR member and vice regent of the Ticonderoga Chapter, said. “The Daughters of the American Revolution has as part of its mission to preserve American history. This historic guide to Crown Point will not only preserve, but put history in people’s hands.”

The book also includes a section on Crown Point’s role in the Civil War. “It is hoped that the inclusion of a page on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War will encourage people to find out about their Civil War era ancestors,” Ingleston said. “Penfield has lots of information on Civil War soldiers, horses, regiment, battles and, of course, the ironclad USS Monitor.

Tax assistance available in Port Henry PORT HENRY — The Earned Income Tax Credit Coalition of the Adirondack Region has established Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites throughout its three-county service delivery area to provide free tax preparation to individuals and families with low or moderate incomes.

The St. Patrick’s Parish Center in Port Henry is a local site. For an appointment call 873-2341.

Household incomes of $50,270.00 or less may be eligible.

“People may be missing out on a federal refund of up to $5,891.00 because they are not aware of the Earned Income Tax Credit” said Kathy Snow, director of development, of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. “Our coalition is working hard to promote the service and reach eligible people and families throughout the region.”

The IRS estimates up to one in four eligible taxpayers may fail to claim the credit.

The coalition also provides information and education about asset building, including

banking and savings.

Trained volunteers will be at each site to electronically file returns for low or moderate income residents, even if they do not qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit.

E-Filing provides faster refunds, electronic payment options, less chance of error and proof of acceptance within 48-hours.

Coalition members include: Coalition members include: The United Way of the Adirondack Region Inc, OneWorkSource, Adirondack Community Action Programs,

Inc. (ACAP), Senior Citizens Council of Clinton County, Office for the Aging, Department of Social Services, Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), Joint Council for Economic Opportunity, Inc.

Moriah supervisor concerned with budget plan State aid to municipalities frozen

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo is generally getting good reviews for his 2013-14 state budget proposal.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava has concerns.

“My major concerns are the 2 percent tax cap and the mandated services we’re required to provide,” Scozzafava said.

“I’m concerned funds designated for mandated services will be cut, which will transfer the burden of those costs to the local property tax.”

Cuomo presented a $137 billion budget — $143 billion when federal aid for recovery from Superstorm Sandy is included — Jan. 22.

Spending, not including Sandy relief, is held to about a 2 percent increase without tax increases or layoffs.

That’s fine with Scozzafava, but the budget also calls for a freeze of state aid money to municipalities outside New York City. That means towns like Moriah and counties like Essex will get no additional help to provide state-mandated services.

“I appreciate what the governor is trying to do, balance the state budget,” Scozzafava said. “Ultimately, though, most services are provided by local governments — towns, villages, cities, counties. If we don’t get additional state aid or if it’s cut the increased cost of those services will be paid by local property taxpayers.”

The state aid freeze could also force municipalities to ex-

ceed the state’s 2 percent property tax cap, Scozzafava noted.

Acknowledging the problem, Cuomo is offering a special task force to provide advice to local officials. He also proposed a borrowing plan to help municipalities survive without further burdening taxpayers. Cuomo would allow local governments to borrow against future savings under the lower-cost pension plan the state adopted a year ago for new hires.

Local officials were concerned with lagging state aid even before Cuomo’s budget speech. New York State’s payments to localities — much of it for mandated health, welfare and other services — has grown by less than half the inflation rate during the last decade, according to report by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli released Jan. 16.

DiNapoli said the slow pace of state, as well as federal, funding to localities has forced them to rely more heavily on

local sales taxes and higher property taxes to bring in revenues.

The proposed budget closes an anticipated $1.3 billion budget deficit.

“The bad news is we have a lot of work to do,” Cuomo said in his budget address. “The good news is we have shown in the past two years an amazing ability to do what they said we couldn’t do.”

Cuomo’s proposal will go to the legislature for hearings.

Cuomo and legislative leaders will soon meet behind closed doors to negotiate a final plan by the April 1 start of the fiscal year.

It was Cuomo’s third straight pledge against raising taxes.

He and Senate Republicans broke that promise in December 2011 by enacting $1.9 billion in income taxes aimed at millionaires which continues to help balance the state budget.

Snow artists needed in Schroon Lake Snow sculpture contest planned

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Snow artists are being sought in Schroon Lake.

Participants are wanted to take part in a snow sculpture contest. The contest is part of the inaugural Winterevent, a series of activities in the community Feb. 15 through March 17.

The snow sculpture contest will kick off Winterevent Friday, Feb. 15, in the town park.The theme will be “Honoring our Children.” Up to 25 contestants will compete for almost $700 in prizes.

People can enter by contacting Joanie Cunningham at Joaniesgoodies@gmail.com or 532-9900.

“We are looking for talented snow artists to make our first Schroon Lake snow sculpture contest a great success,” said Jessica Potter, co-chairwoman of the contest.

“It’s great fun for families, a team of classmates, or an organization to participate in a worthwhile event that shows off the Schroon Lake region’s talent,” said Cunningham, creator of the event. “It’s so much easier to sculpt in snow, and we have such great wood carvers in the Adirondacks so I expect we should have some incredible sculptures.”

The snow sculpture winner will receive $200 with over

$700 in total prizes to be awarded. The winners will be chosen by the public, who can view the sculptures in the park during the five-week Winterevent and either vote on Facebook at SchroonLakeEvents or at a participating sponsor.

The awards will be given out on Saturday, March 9, at 7 p.m. at the Winterevent awards dinner to be held at Flanagans Pub. “We think this will be a great annual event,” commented Penny Edenfield, general manager of Flanagans Pub and a participating sponsor.

Winterevent will continue with a chili cook-off at the Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club on Saturday, Feb. 23, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The proceeds from the cook-off will be donated to the Schroon Lake Fire Department.

Continuing with the culinary theme, participating businesses will be celebrating “The Taste of Schroon” on Main Street 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 24.

“Each business will be showcasing their best winter dishes. This should be a great weekend for folks who love great food,” commented Cunningham.

The Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club will host the Adirondack’s Best Ice Fishing Tournament Saturday and Sunday, March 2 and 3. Fishing will start at daylight on Saturday and end at 4 p.m. Sunday. All fish must be weighed in at the clubhouse by 4 p.m. Sunday and caught in the designated waters of Schroon Lake. Tickets must be purchased prior to fishing to be eligible for any prizes.

There will be three categories of fish —trout, salmon and northern pike — with three cash prizes in each category determined by weight. All cash prizes will be awarded at the clubhouse after 4 p.m. close of fishing on Sunday. Door prizes donated by area merchants, members and friends of the club will be drawn hourly on both days. A prize list will be posted at the club.

The inaugural Leprechaun Throwing Contest will be held Saturday, March 16, in the town park. Each contestant will be judged on the authenticity of the appearance of the leprechaun or their ability to throw the leprechaun over the pot of gold. The leprechaun weight limit is 30 pounds.

“This should be a great way to kick off a unique party holiday and finish up Schroon Lake’s first Winterevent,” stated Helen Need, manager of Timberwolf Pub, a participating sponsor.

The awards will be given out at the Timberwolf Pub at 7 p.m. prior to the St. Patrick’s Day parties.

Throughout the Winterevent snowboarding, cardboard races, snowmobiling, the poker run, moonlight snowshoe treks and bonfires in the park will be available for all guests.

For those who prefer indoor activities, cooking, candy making and yoga for beginners will be offered along with open mic nights, oldies concerts and more.

For more information go to Facebook/SchroonLakeEvents.

“We look forward to seeing you all at Schroon Lake Winterevent 2013,” Cunningham said.

Schroon dog sled races cancelled; lack of funding cited

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com

20473

SCHROON LAKE — A major event planned for Schroon Lake this winter has been cancelled.

Dog sled races scheduled for Feb. 9 and 10 will not be held.

“We apologize for the short notice, but unfortunately the Schroon Lake Sled Dog Challenge scheduled for Feb. 9 and 10 has been cancelled due to a lack of funding,” according to a press release sent by the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce. “We are working to reschedule this event for February 2014.”

The dog sled event was to feature dozens of races at the town golf course. It was to be staged by the Pennsylvania Sled Dog Club, one of the oldest sled dog clubs in the country.

The Pennsylvania Sled Dog Club has held races in Massena for several years. Last summer club officials reached out to Schroon Lake and in September visited the community to inspect possible courses. They visited again in December.

The Schroon Lake Sled Dog Challenge was expected to attract about 50 mushers along with support crews, fans and families.

SARANAC LAKE – The Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee has chosen local real estate professional Chris Covert as its 2013 grand marshal for the Feb. 9 Gala Parade.

Covert was born in Oakland, Calif. when his father was in the U.S. Navy. He grew up in Clinton, N.Y. and would often vacation and explore in the Adirondack Park. Covert spent his first weekend in Saranac Lake in the summer of 1978 at campsite 17 on Lower Saranac Lake and took up residency here in 1986. He is the broker, owner and founder of Guide Boat Realty, LLC on River Street.

Icicle contest set

Rumors of the great Tupperware harvest in Tupper Lake have been greatly exaggerated, but the great icicle harvest in Saranac Lake is no myth.

“We’re looking for the largest icicle in the region,” said Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee volunteer Jackie Foster, who coordinates the annual Spike of the Ice Icicle Contest. “And we’re excited to have Woltner Summit Contracting sponsor us again and offer the grand prize.”

The Winter Carnival’s annual Spike of Ice Icicle Contest will be held behind the Ice Palace Sunday, Feb. 3 beginning at 2:30 p.m. Icicles must be transported to the judging site. Judging will take place at 3:30 pm. Icicles must be naturally formed without any internal form of support. The final measurement will be the largest, intact piece of ice (broken pieces won't be added in). There are two categories – over 18 and under 18 years old – and there are awards for first and second place in each category. The prize for first place in the over 18 category will be a Home Energy Audit (valued at $450), provided by Woltner Summit Contracting (for a residential home only.

Not applicable to multiple dwelling or business).

Applications are available at the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival website, www.saranaclakewintercarnival.com/forms-and-publications.

Hebert continues to shine, this time in NYC Hebert wins NYC race

Jay Hebert of Ticonderoga continued to shine, winning the 55-meter hurdles at the New Balance Games in New York City in indoor track and field action Jan. 26.

Hebert topped a national-class field, winning in 7.43 seconds. That time broke Hebert’s own Section VII and Ti High record for the event. It just missed the track record ot 7.42.

Hebert won the Dartmouth Relays Jan. 12.

Hebert ran 7.54 seconds in a preliminary round to break the record he already held, then ran 7.51 in the finals to win.

Hebert is the first Section VII athlete to ever win an event at the Dartmouth Relays, according his coach, Walter Thorne.

Hebert won the New York State Public High School Athletic Association small-school championship in the 110-meter hurdles last spring. He then won the New York Federation championship, which pits the top eight runners from schools of all sizes.

Hebert went undefeated last spring with a best time of 14.07 seconds — the fastest time in New York and the fourth fastest high school time in the nation, according to his coach.

The Olympic B qualifying standard is 13.72 seconds. Now a junior, he’s only 1.2 seconds away from the world record in the 110 hurdles held by Cuba’s Dayron Robles.

Sentinels second Ticonderoga took second place in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference boys indoor track action Jan. 26.

The Sentinels scored 115 points. Saranac won the seventeam meet with 156.

Jarryn Granger won the long jump and triple jump for Ti. Shawn Silliman took the 55-meter hurdles and was second in the 600 run.

The 640-meter relay team of Coleman Granger, Ryan Trudeau, Skyler Gilbert and Marcus Moser also won for the Sentinels.

Tanner Wright added a second place in the long jump, while Moser was third in the 55 hurdles, Kody Parrott was third in the 1,000 run and Coleman Granger was third in the high jump.

Ticonderoga took fourth place in the girls meet with 64.5 points. Saranac won with 130.5.

Keeley Cooper was third in the 55-meter dash and long jump for the locals. Lillith Ida was third in the 55 hurdles and Naomi Forkas third in the 1,500 run.

Right: Marcus Moser ran a leg on the winning 640-meter relay team for Ticonderoga in indoor track action Jan. 25. He also took third place in the 55-meter hurdles.

Ti athletes cited for academic achievement; every fall team honored by state

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High School athletes enjoyed a banner season last fall on the playing field and in the classroom.

All four Sentinel varsity teams — football, women’s soccer, men’s cross country and women’s cross country — earned the New York State Public High School Athletic Association ScholarAthlete Team award. To get the honor each team’s academic average must be 90 or better.

“What NYSPHSAA requires is that a set number of team members have an overall average of 90 or higher,“ said Ticonderoga Athletic Director Bob Sutphen. “In our case, each fall team met this, with one of our teams actually surpassing the minimal number.”

The men’s and women’s cross country teams each had seven athletes with better than 90 averages. The women’s soccer team had 12 players meet the standard and the football team had 14 gridders reach the mark.

Water over the Dam

I

n recent years, winter weather patterns have become increasingly difficult to predict, especially in the Adirondacks, which has always managed to maintain a tried and true tradition of having snow on the ground by Thanksgiving, followed by a white Christmas and a brief January thaw. However, the recent weather patterns can no longer to be considered traditional.

Due to the numerous disruptions in the age of climate change, it appears all bets are off. And whether you measure the weather by the bands on a wooly caterpillar, or a tally of pine cones the red squirrels tuck away, the fact remains; winter weather just keep getting weirder every year.

Even the old weather rhymes are no longer of any use. “When onion skins are very thin, a mild winter will be setting in. But when the skins are thick and tough, the winter weather will be cold and rough.”

Unfortunately, most people have no idea where their onions were grown, because we all get them at the supermarket.

And while the advent of Doppler Radar has certainly added a degree of veracity to local weather forecasting, I remain a devout disciple of the old, Bird Berdan School of Mysterious Meteorology, which was available every evening on TV Channel 5. Prior to The Weather Channel or Doppler Weather Center forecasts, Mr. Berdan was likely the region’s most accomplished weatherman.

“This supports the research that students who participate in school activities outside the classroom statistically do better in school than their peers who do not,” said John McDonald, Ti school superintendent.

“I would like to congratulate these students for being recognized for such a great accomplishment.” he said. “I am proud that they are able to prioritize their time to attend to their academics and still excel in athletics. I would also like to thank their coaches and parents for supporting them and providing them with the motivation to succeed.”

Men’s cross country runners cited include Colvin Chapman, John Cook, Mark Donohue, Martin Glazer, Ryan Price, Cody O’Hara and Kody Parrott.

Led by Coach Jay Wells, the men’s cross country team won the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference with a 17-1 record and Section VII Class D championship this fall before placing fifth at the state championship meet.

Women’s harriers honored are Hannah Herbst, Elizabeth Aranguiz, Alaina Bevilacqua, Becky Barber, Naomi Forkas, Ash-

He would check on old black dog at the back door and if the hound was wet, it was raining; and if it was white, it was snowing. If the dog was spotted, there was hail falling, and if the poor old critter had a glazed look all over; why there was likely to be a wicked ice storm in progress.

Despite the numerous advances in weather detection, and the unrelenting barrage of 24 hour, up-to-the minute, weather information broadcasts; the most reliable aspect of Adirondack weather is it’s uncanny unpredictability.

And therein lies its charm!

Regardless of advancements in weather monitoring equipment, satellite data and predictions of climate trends, in the Adirondacks, most folks are often unsure of what to expect until the storm finally appears from over the nearest hill.

At times, the weather will test our power and our will, but it’s always easy to face it from the warmer side of a windowsill.

The No Show Season

A few weeks ago, I dedicated an entire column to highlight a variety of local Sportsmans Shows hosted annually across the region. Since that time, I’ve already attended two shows, and I look forward to visiting a few others.

However, due to uncertain currents flowing through a river of political correctness, a once receptive climate for hosting such events has changed dramatically, especially in light of the horror that struck Newtown in December.

In fact, those same turbulent waters were responsible for turning a minor trickle into a raging river that recently washed over the entire sports show industry.

The trouble began in early January when a slight leak became trickle of water leaked over the dam of public opinion. Eventually, the leak turned into a torrent of concern, when a self-described soccer mom in Saratoga began circulating a petition to cancel a popular Gun Show scheduled for the Saratoga Springs City Center.

Ticonderoga also made a strong showing in the Section VII Class D girls championship race for Coach Britney McCarthy, finishing second and earning three at-large berths for runners at the state meet.

Soccer players awarded are Nicole Trudeau, Katie Palandrani, Andrea Rich, Ashley Trudeau, Lexi Moore, Haley Kuhl, Logan Mars, Sadie Hamel, Maura Jebb, Jaelyn Granger, Grace Ginn and Kylie Austin.

Coach Kathy Tubbs’ crew posted a 7-7-1 record en route to the Section VII Class C quarterfinals.

Football players cited include Anthony Costello, Tanner Wright, Anthony DuShane, Skyler Gilbert, Sean Lawrie, David Busick, Blake Gautreau, Steven Bussey, Ty Denno, Cody Henthorn, Dalton Huestis, Garrison Hughes, Matt Cook and Nick Theiss.

Led by Coach Bob Sutphen, the Sentinels posted a 5-4 record.

They lost the Section VII Class D championship game to Moriah, 16-6. which has hosted the Saratoga show for many years fought back against an online petition to prevent the show. However, in the court of public opinion, the promoter's defiant attitude could not overcome a losing battle.

Eventually, the show's promoter, David Petronis, agreed to restrict the display and/or sale of certain types of firearms in an attempt to avoid further controversy. Primarily, the weapons responsible for stirring the ongoing controversy were AR-15, Bushmaster rifles, and similarly designed firearms which are collectively referred to as ‘assault rifles’.

Despite Petronis’ concessions, and possibly due to the effectiveness of the protests, a movement to ban ‘assault weapons’ from all of the events on the sportshow circuit quickly gained momentum.

In the blink of an eye, a trickle of hope for putting an end to gun violence began flowing out of a tiny gun show in sleepy, little Saratoga Springs. Oddly, as news of the ban spread rapidly upstream against the current, the momentum eventually had a huge impact on one of the largest sport shows in the country.

Less that two weeks after the gun show concessions in Saratoga , Reed Productions, the British-owned promoters of the giant Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show (ESOS), announced their decision to ban assault weapons from all of their upcoming events.

ESOS is one of the largest consumer sport shows in the country, with over 400 exhibitors, and more than 200,000 visitors. The event provides an estimated economic impact of nearly $44 million for the region.

One by one, exhibitors began to drop out of the show. By the week's end, more than 200 exhibitors had cancelled plans to attend, and soon after, Reed Exhibitions was forced to announce the postponement of the Eastern Outdoor Show event. Shortly thereafter, Reed agreed to refund fees to all exhibitors.

Reed Exhibitions also hosts the annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas. The SHOT Show is the largest trade event for the shooting, hunting, and firearms industry for many years, and it remains the biggest event of its kind in the world.

It now appears Reed Exhibitions shot the entire industry in the foot, and a perceived chink in the armor may open the floodgates. The industry understand that once water goes over the dam, the damage is done.

Unfortunately, it appears the flow will continue as long as there is constructive dialog among all of the parties responsible for gun control in this country.
