TICONDEROGA — Although several people took issue with specific policies, area residents seemed pleased with the proposed 2013-14 state budget following a presentation in Ticonderoga Jan. 31.

Dede Scozzafava, deputy secretary of state for local government, outlined the governor ’s spending plan for about 40 people at Ti’s North Country Community College campus. The gathering included elected officials, school administrators, business leaders and others from Ticonderoga, Hague, Putnam, Crown Point and Moriah.

“I’m a life-long Republican, but I have to admit I’m pleased with the governor and his budget,” said Jim Major of Ticonderoga, a local businessman and chairman of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance. “I think he’s doing a great job.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, has proposed a $136.5 billion budget for the next fiscal year. That’s an increase of $2.5 billion, 1.9 percent, from 2012-13. The budget closes a $1.3 billion deficit without adding any

Teen center aids youth, town

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A new youth program is providing teenagers with fresh opportunities while saving Ticonderoga money.

The town has entered into an agreement with the Silver Bay YMCA to provide an after-school program for students in grades 6-12 at the Armory on Champlain Avenue.

The program, supported by private donations, is free to students.

Silver Bay is renting space at the Armory for $1,500 a month.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for our local youth to receive quality programs with professionally-trained counselors,” Ti Supervisor Deb Malaney said. “It’s really exciting.”

The arrangement had been discussed for a year before it became a reality last October. A formal grand opening was held Jan. 16.

“It’s a wonderful irony that a building originally built to prepare for war has become a place of safety and fun for children,” said Jackie Palandrani, youth and teen director at Silver Bay YMCA. “I have long dreamed of a place where young people could go after school hours; a place that offered not only opportunities to play, but to learn, and to seek help, and to feel safe — a home away from home.”

The teen center is open Monday through Thursday 3 to 6 p.m. for students in grades 6-12 and 7 to 9 p.m. for high school students only. It is open Friday 3 to 6 p.m. for students in grades 6-12, 7 to 9 p.m. for middle school students and 9-11 p.m. for high school stu-

dents. It is open Saturday 2 to 6 p.m. for grades 6-12, 7 to 9 p.m. for middle school students and 9-11 p.m. for high school students.

Ticonderoga Central School will provide transportation to the Armory after classes, Palandrani said, but parents must pick up students. The center will be open through June.

“We have a one year contract,” Malaney said. “After this year we’ll sit down with Silver Bay and evaluate the program. I’m optimistic we can continue it.”

The program offers a wide variety of activities — video games, basketball, pool, air hockey, volleyball and more — along with homework assistance and a Leader’s Club. The center offers wifi and cable television.

“It’s really a kids-run program,” Palandrani said. “We talk to the kids and see what they would like, then we try to provide it.

“Our students quickly began to appreciate the program and, largely through word of mouth, helped to grow the program beyond what any of the organizers had anticipated,” she said. “On average, approximately 40 students visit the teen center each day.

Special programs, like the New Year’s Eve lock-in, can see that number grow to almost 100.”

For more information about the YMCA teen center, contact Palandrani at 503-5136 or jpalandrani@silverbay.org.

The Ticonderoga youth commission used to operate two afterschool programs at the Armory, one for elementary students and the other for middle and high school students. The middle-high school program has been eliminated in favor of the Silver Bay pro-

The elimination of the town-sponsored middle-high school program is saving the town money, Malaney said, while the rent being paid by Silver Bay is helping cover the cost of maintaining the town-owned Armory.

The elementary program is housed downstairs in the Armory along with the town senior citizens club and the Adirondack Community Action Program.

“That’s working out very well,” Malaney said of the elementary school program. “We’ve developed some very good interaction between the kids and the senior citizens.”

Fort Ticonderoga to host snowshoe trek on pavilion y Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — People will have an opportunity for a unique look at Fort Ticonderoga.

The fort will host “Exploration on Snow Shoes: A Timeline of Trees on the Pavilion Grounds” as part of its Fort Fever Series Sunday, Feb. 10, at 2 p.m.

Heidi Karkoski, the fort’s director of horticulture, will lead the trek.

The cost is $10 a person and will be collected at the door.

It is free for members of the Friends of Fort Ticonderoga.

“The landscape around Fort Ticonderoga evolved from a thickly-wooded peninsula before the fort was built, to a battlefield cleared to defend the Heights of Carillon and the waterways surrounding it, and included vegetable gardens to supply occupying troops with fresh provisions,” Karkoski said.

“Throughout the centuries, some areas were allowed to be

reclaimed by nature, and others were changed for either utilitarian or leisure purposes,” she said. “Since the 18th century uses as varied as pasture, deer park, golf course, orchard, victory garden, country estate, working farmland, and formal garden have combined to form a rich history of landscape use. While many of these features have changed, some of the old trees on the grounds have endured and still cast a shadow over the evolving landscape.”

Participants will be able to tour the Pavilion grounds on a winter's afternoon and learn about the ornamental tree species, the age of the trees and how they were incorporated into the landscape design over the past 150 years. His-

toric photographs will be used to illustrate the past while touring the notable trees of today.

Participants must provide their own snowshoes. In the case of inadequate snow cover, winter hiking boots should be worn. People are reminded to dress for weather conditions.

Participants should check in at the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center by 1:45 p.m.. The gate opens at 1:15 p.m. for the program.

Additional programs in the Fort Fever Series are scheduled for March 17 and April 21. Visit www.fort-ticonderoga.org for more information.

A PASTA DINNER will be served at the club on Sat., 3/2, starting at 5pm.

Hamburgers, hot dogs and chili will be served Sun., 3/3 starting at noon

Mayor should be more vested in arts & culture

L

ast week Vision 2 Action, a forward-thinking group of business owners and concerned citizens in Plattsburgh, held a progress report at the Strand Theater in downtown Plattsburgh.

It turns out, there was a lot to talk about, and the event was well attended by people representing the arts and businesses in the area. We couldn’t help but notice that Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak was not among them.

It can be argued that Kasprzak was not invited, and maybe that’s true. But it was an open-to-the-community event, held by people within the community, for people within the community. And Plattsburgh is his community, after all.

V2A has had several applause worthy victories over the past year, including the new Saranac River bike path and further renovations on the Strand. They have also held discussions to generate ideas for future projects involving education, recreation, transportation and the arts. Slowly but surely, their vision, and their action, is becoming more prominent in Plattsburgh.

If things go as planned, the Strand Theatre will be open this summer, and will be linked with the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, which will morph into the Strand Arts Center. Local business owners are already buzzing with excitement in anticipation of the people the theater will draw to the city.

The two downtown galleries–NCCCA and ROTA–were represented at the event.

Both have become fixtures in the community, bringing in artists, and art enthusiasts, from around the region to Plattsburgh.

It seems that the arts are finally here to stay in Plattsburgh, and with them will come people, who will spend money, which will encourage economic growth and development. One only has to look across the lake to Burlington to see what an integral role the arts can play in a thriving downtown.

In short, the event was a pretty big deal.

We can give the mayor a pass — he’s busy, for sure, and maybe something came up.

Or maybe not.

In December, the NCCCA held its annual Holiday Member Show. The turnout was

encouraging — people filled the newlyrenovated gallery space, and many talked about going to grab a bite to eat or a drink downtown after leaving the exhibition.

Congressman Bill Owens even showed up, but Kasprzak did not.

In January, ROTA Gallery brought in an artist from Saranac Lake, and an artist from Montreal. Word spread and people stopped by. Mayor Kasprzak did not.

As an elected official, the mayor should be doing more than what he thinks the city needs–he should be listening to his electorate and helping them achieve what they want.

We certainly commend the mayor for his fiscal prudence, but there is more to the job than that. Much more.

It isn’t like that in every town. Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau is a very active participant in his community — the people of Plattsburgh certainly remember his tenure as mayor there. Lake George Mayor Robert Blais is another, along with Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas and Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. They don’t just show up at events, either. They work with local groups, organize and even participate in events and are involved in discussions on how to improve their towns.

Perhaps those men understand that a few ideas can go a long way in a community. For years it was easy to dismiss revitalizing a theater, creating art galleries and making a bike path as pipe dreams. But they’re here. People made them happen, and now Plattsburgh is going through a reawakening.

The people putting these projects into motion know that, in order to get jobs, Plattsburgh has to give a little, too.

Through hard work and an extraordinary amount of patience and perseverance, people have started bringing the things they want to Plattsburgh. It is a testament, not only to the determination of some who reside here, but to the fact that people want arts and culture in Plattsburgh so much they are willing to go after it themselves.

And it’s working, even if the mayor isn’t among those participating.

America: Land of mediocrity

N

ewly proposed legislation pending in Congress touted as giving women a new weapon in the battle for equal pay as well as protecting workers from retaliation could just be the final straw that breaks the American competitive sprit, if passed.

The legislation, dubbed the “Paycheck Fairness Act,” is designed to keep companies from responding against an employee who discusses sensitive salary information with another employee.

It would also mandate that owners prove differences in pay scale are not related to someone’s gender but instead to business necessity and performance on the job.

The operative word here is prove.

I’ve been operating private businesses that deal with vendors and employees, and have sat on boards overseeing nonprofit organizations for nearly 40 years.

I’ve been a part of hiring, working with, and seen first-hand thousands of men and women of all ages, races and any other category you care to divide people into. As with any situation or experience there will never be exactly the same set of circumstances for every individual, in every walk of life. Every person and every situation is unique. Does discrimination happen? Absolutely, I’m sure it does, but is it rampant across all organizations? No, not even close.

The idea that government will ride in and save the day for women and down trodden workers who are forced to work for unfair wages is just another political gimmick, sugar coated to dull the competitive edge of the American worker.

Like a tenured teacher or a super star athlete who was just awarded a big time multi-year contract with a large signing bonus, once you remove the competitive edge, in what some call leveling the playing field, you’ve effectively lowered the bar and removed all motivation to exceed the norm. The norm is what you’ll get.

Performance and production are critical to American industry. Self confidence and sheer competence are traits that keep employers and employees focused on reaching the same goal. If you are capable, work hard and produce desired results you become indispensable to your employer — that is unless those same skills at a lower rate of pay are readily

available in the market place. Each of us must distinguish ourselves with a work ethic, Dan Alexander not only to Thoughts from an emBehind the Pressline ployer but more importantly to yourself.

If you feel you are underpaid for the job you perform, find a new job or better yet start your own business. That’s the spirit this country was built on and it’s exactly the same in all walks of life and in all organizations large and small. But if you lack confidence in your abilities or aren’t interested in the highly competitive world we live in today, but want the same pay as someone similarly employed, this legislation is just one more anchor around the neck of this country’s economic engine. Fending off lawsuits and seeking fairness will stall progress and cause one simple solution — pay everyone the same rate of pay. Once that happens why should anyone compete when we will all be treated the same regardless of output?

Parent and teacher advocates have been warning us for years to let our children learn failure at a young age when the stakes are smaller and can be overcome. Legislation like the Paycheck Fairness Act will only perpetuate what kids are experiencing in many facets of their lives where everyone wins regardless of effort. High standards and excellence are only borne out of hard work and a steadfast desire to be the very best.

Yes, “luck” plays a role, but people who are driven find ways to overcome those obstacles. Accepting anything less than your very best puts us on a path to mediocrity and as any athlete will tell you; to compete is an honor but to win is a thrill unlike any other. Just Ask the Raven’s or better yet ask the 49’ers about their motivation for next year. True champions build on adversity.

Letters to the Editor

Gun law criticized

Flood insurance to cost more

To the Times of Ti:

To the Times of Ti:

Kudos to the Times of Ti for its editorial exploring key issues surrounding New York’s recent gun law which more accurately should be called the New York Citizen Disarmament Law. This legislation, rushed onto the books by a heavily Democratcontrolled State Legislature, and passed in the dead of night without public comment or discussion demonstrates precisely why the founders wrote the second amendment in the first place.

The founders understood that ambition motivates many politicians and wanted to guarantee that the citizenry had the means to protect itself from abuses of a tyrannical government (see Federalist 28, 29 and 51). It had nothing to do with how many bullets it takes to kill a deer or how many bullets are allowed in a clip.

As we are witnessing, government today is no less inclined to abuse it’s power than in the days of King George III. Andrew Cuomo’s objective had less to do with promoting public safety than it had to do with promoting his own towering ambition and burnishing his credentials as the Democratic candidate for the 2016 presidential nomination.

The real issues surrounding the Citizen Disarmament Law are it’s constitutionality and more pointedly what constitutes “infringement; but the Constitution has never stood in the way of a progressive democrat with an opportunity. Those New York legislators who voted in favor of the law (mostly progressive Democrats) either believed it was constitutional but more likely, never even considered the constitution in their haste to strike while the emotional “iron” was hot. To their great credit, State Senator Little and local Assembly members Stec and Duprey voted against Andrew the Magnificent’s gun grab law. I would hope that they and others who voted against the bill would find a way to challenge it on the grounds that it is unconstitutional and infringes on the “right of the people to keep and bear arms.”

Last summer, Congress enacted changes to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that will result in dramatically higher flood insurance costs for many policyholders.

To account for the true costs of flood insurance, the bill phases in premiums that reflect the full flood risk of each insured building. Congress clearly wants to restore the fiscal soundness of the NFIP (which owed the U.S. Treasury $17 billion prior to Hurricane Sandy) and expects people who occupy floodplains to shoulder more of the costs.

The legislation phases out insurance subsidies for several categories of buildings, including: second homes, business properties, new policies, and newly purchased property. Without these subsidies, insurance costs will be based on the elevation (or flood protection level) of the structure. The resulting rates can be quite high, particularly for buildings with basements.

Other changes will affect rates for all flood insurance policies, which can rise by up to 20 percent per year. The bottom line is that premiums are going to rise significantly in future years. Unfortunately, Congress did not address the affordability of flood insurance, other than to authorize a study.

The New York State Floodplain and Stormwater Managers Association (NYSFSMA) recognizes the need for NFIP reform, but is concerned about the impact this legislation will have on business districts and real estate markets in older floodplain communities.

The association will continue to advocate for additional reforms to the flood insurance program in order to achieve the multiple objectives of affordability, fairness and fiscal soundness.

NY becoming a police state

Misuse of firearms the problem To the Times of Ti:

To the Times of Ti: I want to thank everyone who has written a letter to the Times of Ti editor for their support against Gov. Cuomo’s new gun control law. I am a 13 year member of the NRA and love America.

Look at New York prior to 1994 and the federal assault weapons ban. Now look at it today. It’s much worst. It almost seems like New York is becoming a police state. Each year there are new laws that take our rights away. These laws benefit the government. Not we the people. Gov. Cuomo, you said this law was not aimed at sportsman. But that’s not true. Are not competition shooters who use the AR15 rifle in their sport? And it’s not just New York, if President Obama has his way a United Nations Gun Ban treaty will be signed later this year. It’s Goal: Ban almost every gun in America.

I do not blame the Bush Master rifle that killed 26 young Americans in Newtown, Conn. I blame a careless mother who failed to lock her guns from a son she knew was mentally ill, how stupid!

This sad event has given our gun hating government just what they wanted. A way to stomp our rights to bear arms into the ground.

If we don’t speak out against this we may soon find out that we have no rights! All over the world there have been massacres in countries that do not allow firearm ownership. My biggest fear is that sooner or later this is coming to America. That is my opinion of this madness that is being forced upon law abiding citizens.

Assessments questioned To the Times of Ti: Having just recently paid my town and county property tax, I am again reminded of our lack of leadership in Ticonderoga.

Knowing that Ticonderoga had rising property values during the ongoing recession while the national outcry was over decreasing property values, I have to question the competency of our assessor.

Knowing that the reason given for substantial increases in assessments was a town wide reval to get us back at 100 percent of value in 2010 why did many assessments jump again in 2011 when property values in the rest of the county were falling? Were the original 2010 assessments wrong or were the 2011 wrong? Not a concern for the unfortunate ones that also received yet another increase in 2012.

Is this incompetence? Knowing that there are locations in Ticonderoga where one can stand and view several different residential vacant lots in the same immediate neighborhood, that are, for some unknown reason, assessed at different valuations per acre, I have to question the competency of our assessor. Knowing that one can review the Essex County list of comparable properties for Ticonderoga and find significant valuation differences. Shouldn’t “comparables” be somewhat close. I have to question our assessor’s competency.

Since our assessor is appointed where is our elected leader in, at the least, investigating this problem? I have heard the tales of assessors being protected by state regulations, but are they protected for incompetency? Not according to the state. Sometimes leaders have to stand up and do what is right for the people that elected them. If that means making hard choices, so be it. Our town deserves a better assessment process and better leadership to see that we get it.

Bill Grinnell Ticonderoga

Recently, while exploring the internet, I stumbled across an article in the Washington Post that dealt with ”What makes America’s gun culture totally unique in the world.” This in turn led me to a database compiled by the Guardian titled, “Gun Homicides and Gun Ownership Listed by Country.” It is a list of 178 countries which includes some very interesting and informative information about civilian firearms ownership and numbers of firearm related homicides. The United States of course is at the top of the world’s civilian gun ownership list by far. In fact while our population makes up only 5 percent of the world’s population we own somewhere between 35-50 percent of the worlds civilian guns. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/newa/datablog/2012/iul/22/g un-homicides).

In this country there, currently, are around 270 million guns held privately. This equates to 88.8 guns owned per 100 people.

Our homicide by firearm rate per 100,000 people comes in at 2.97.

From here, it all depends upon how you choose to interpret the data.

If I were oriented toward more stringent gun control I would point out that in a number of cases there is a direct correlation between the number of firearms privately owned and homicide rate. I would point to our neighbor Canada where, there are only 30.8 firearms per 100 people and a homicide by firearms (HBF) rate of only 0.51 HBF per 100,000 people. In addition I would show Australia with a 15 guns/100people and a HBF of only 0.14. I could point out Japan with a 0.6 firearms/100 people and an HBF rate of only 0.01. I could in fact go on and on pointing out that those countries with fewer guns and most likely stricter gun control laws do in fact have lower rates of firearm related deaths. Of course when you truly examine the numbers we see that this issue is in fact far more complicated than, where our personal bias tends to fall.

If on the other hand I wanted to point outthat gun control” was a fallacy then I would look at the number 3 country for civilian gun ownership, Switzerland. Switzerland has a gun ownership level of 45.7 guns per 100 people with a HBF rate of only 0.77. Number 4, Finland comes in at 45.3 guns per 100 people and a HBF rate of only 0.45. Looking at these numbers it would seem that something else is going on in these countries and perhaps it would be wise for us to take a look at exactly what it is that they are doing other than simply imposing more stringent gun laws upon our population.

All of the above is however completely meaningless rhetoric and useless banter to the parents who lost their children at Sandy Hook Elementary and to the friends and relatives of the more than 30,000 people each year for the past ten years who have been victims of gun violence.

I am a gun owner and hunting, protecting our homes and families and serving our country has been part of our family heritage in America for well over 350 years. We are missing the point completely, however, and getting sidetracked into an anachronistic obsession that makes us look crazy people in the eyes of the world. It’s not about the right of the individual to bear arms. Our citizens are dying from the misuse of firearms and rather than letting our thoughts be driven by the propaganda of power hungry politicians or special interest groups with questionable motives, we should be solving this problem the way other countries not so blinded by their own myopic needs are doing at this very moment. Rather than trying to arm teachers, janitors, administrators and security guards with deadly weapons which seems to me like fighting fire with gasoline, we need to start installing “biometric facial recognition security systems” in our schools and work places the way the rest of the civ-

ilized world is doing. We need to reach out to other countries in order to learn how they have been able to hold their Homicide by Firearms rates down. We also need to interact with one another in a civil manner over an issue that is in fact highly personal and emotional in order to come up with gun control laws that really work. This is what the internet and its vast universe of information and networking capabilities should be used for, and not for becoming enfeebled by a continual barrage of numbers and information that leads to the oppositional interpretations that keep us all in a mass consciousness paralytic coma; while the senseless shootings continue.

My “Pet” pet peeve

I

have been thinking about this pet peeves column for a while. We all have them, and thought this would be a great way to share some. However, it was not until earlier this week that I realized what my biggest pet peeve was.

There are several of them. Some are stupid, such as getting

by Keith Lobdell annoyed every time the person in front of me at Subway has multiple subs to order. It’s perfectly alright and accepted to order subs for other family members or co-workers at lunchtime, but for some reason this just irritates me that I have to wait for someone who is not there.

There are the classic pet peeves that a lot of people share. For me, that would be drivers who go slower than the posted speed limit. If it says 55, go 55 for crying out loud! I know you’re trying to be safe and probably doing the right thing, but it still gets me worked up.

However, I have come to the realization of what my biggest pet peeve is. The one that not only gets me agitated, but actually ends up making me say or do something, and it happens every time.

Let’s go back to my senior year of high school. I was a member of the varsity basketball team. Sometimes I got into the game because we were up 15-20 points late and there was no way I could screw it up, along with times I was in the game because it could not get worse than the 20-plus points we were losing by.

This particular example happened during the latter, when we were down with no hope of coming back. The coach put me in the game, and I received an inbounds pass. I pivoted and found much to my shock that two defenders were tight on me as I was underneath their basket. I made a pass to get out of the trap, and then headed up the court, right past the opposing team’s bench.

“Pressing when you are up by 23 points, really?”

That earned me a trip back to the bench and a stern lecture from my coach after the game. But the fact of the matter is, I meant what I said, and thus was born my biggest pet peeve: basketball teams pressing late in games when the outcome has already been decided.

Having covered hoops for a while, you see it at least once each year and it just blows my mind. I honestly shake when I see it happen, and I still have not learned how to keep my mouth shut about it, whether its covering a varsity basketball game or watching the JV or modified game taking place before my assignment.

I do understand that it happens more frequently in varsity, and I am a proponent of when you get to playoffs, it’s about winning. But pressing when a game is decided at any level just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, especially the instructional levels (biddy and modified).

Having coached youth levels in basketball, I feel that pressing with the game in hand teaches nothing that I want one of my players learning during the years where the goal is to develop skills. Everything that you needed to prove about being the better team has already been done. There is no more statement that needs to be made. No “learning” is going to happen. Your making a team that already feels defeated feel even worse and, honestly, your team is learning that winning at all costs trumps sportsmanship.

In local modified, you can only press in the final two minutes of the game. Ironically, another pet peeve of mine is this rule — you should be able to press from the beginning of the game. It leads to a situation where a team who has definitely proven their superiority without pressing and then does it because they can, even though the game is decided.

Again, there’s no “learning” in that for either team.

I know there are other coaches, some I respect, that see this differently. All I know is, when I see it happen, it just sends chills up and down my spine.

So please, if you’re up big late, call the dogs off.

Ticonderoga chamber wants to ‘Save the Date’ Calendar designed to avoid conflicts

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Hoping to avoid scheduling conflicts, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce has started a “Save the Date” program.

The chamber is posting dates of 2013 activities as they become available on its website, www.ticonderogany.com, in a “Save the Date” section and in its regular calendar of events.

“The ‘Save the Date’ includes all of the chamber’s events, After Business Mixers, and a highlight of larger visitor-focused events happening within the Ticonderoga area in 2013,” said Matthew Courtright, chamber executive director. “‘Save the Dates’ are available by visiting the chamber’s website or the chamber office in downtown Ticonderoga.”

The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce is constantly working to improve its community calendar of events in order to become the central calendar for the area, Courtright said.

“TACC is looking for area businesses, organizations and committees to share their event information as well as a schedule of upcoming special events,” he said. “The calendar will serve as the central location for community members and visitors in finding events within the area as well as a referencing tool used when planning future events in the Ticonderoga area.

“It is important to create a centralized calendar,

where information about events can be shared, not only to promote the area, but to eliminate scheduling conflicts,” Courtright said. “We strongly encourage area businesses and organizations to share information on their 2013 events.

In addition we encourage everyone to use the calendar and contact the chamber when choosing dates to host an event.”

While individual events are encouraged to be submitted to the community calendar, organizations can also submit their yearly schedule of events.

Events can be submitted by emailing chamberinfo@ticonderogany.com or visiting the chamber office on Montcalm Street.

For more information visit www.ticonderogany.com, email chamberinfo@ticonderogany.com, visit the chamber’s Facebook page or call 585-6619.

The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce serves, markets and promotes the Ticonderoga area including, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Hague, Moriah and Putnam. The TACC plans and hosts free community events, events that

draw area visitors, assists area organizations with their events and projects, provides small business support and resources and business referrals, answers community and visitor questions and requests via phone, Email and mail, sends visitor area information upon request, keeps an online calendar of events, as well as an array of benefits for its members.

For more information on the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce go online at www.ticonderogany.com or “Like” on Facebook or follow TiconderogaADK on twitter.

The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting as part of the Sentinel Grille grand opening celebration. Formerly the Carrillon, it is located on Hague Road.

TICONDEROGA — One of the most famous battles in military history will be reenacted at Fort Ticonderoga this winter.

“The Battle on Snowshoes” will be held as a living history event Saturday, Feb. 23, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the fort.

“The Battle on Snowshoes event recreates the savage fight between Robert Roger ’s rangers, and a mixed French force of regular soldiers, malice and allied native warriors on March 13, 1758,” said Stuart Lilie, director of interpretation at Fort Ticonderoga.

“This event is designed to be a rich experience for both participants and visitors alike.

It will investigate the myths and facts of Robert Rogers and explore why his exploits in the North Woods still fill the popular imagination today.”

Visitors will be able to see the French Garrison in the middle of winter inside Fort Ticonderoga and tour through opposing pickets of British rangers and French soldiers.

At 2 p.m. a tree-to-tree battle recreation will take place.

“Watch as the rangers make a brave stand against superior odds, only to retreat through the deep woods,” said Beth Hills,

“The French patrol that met Roger ’s men proved far larger than he imagined, and in this Battle on Snowshoes, the rangers’ ambush was itself surrounded and overwhelmed,” Lilie said. “In deep woods on deep snow, the rangers were forced to retreat with heavy casualties as the French regulars, malice and natives pressed home their attack. Despite brave stands along the way, this retreat quickly became chaotic as rangers, Rogers’ included, ran for their lives from superior numbers of French.”

At 10:15 a.m. there will be a guided tour of Fort Carillon, followed at 11 a.m. by a tour of “Petite Guerre in the North Woods.”

At noon there will be program on the French and Native American alliance, followed at 1:15 p.m. by another tour of the fort.

Following the 2 p.m. battle recreation, Chris Fox, curator of collections at Fort Ticonderoga, will examine real artifacts recovered from the ruins of Fort Ticonderoga at 2:30 p.m. From weapons to practical tools, and even personal comforts, people can see objects left behind by the French soldiers,

Fort Ti executive director and CEO. Event tickets are $10. Friends of Fort Ticonderoga and children age 4 and younger will be free. For more information call 5852821 or visit www.fortticonderoga.org.

“Visitors will be invited to tour Fort Ticonderoga as it appeared in the winter of 1758 and meet the Native American warriors, French soldiers and Canadians, who delivered the rangers’ worst defeat,” Hill said.

“See how Natives Americans and French soldiers alike survived the deep winter at this remote military post. More adventurous visitors can take a hike led by a historic interpreter through the uneasy quiet of opposed pickets of soldiers in the deep woods. In these tours visitors can see how rangers kept a vigilant watch for subtle signs that might reveal their ferocious enemy.”

In March 1758 Maj. Robert Rogers and his men headed north from Fort Edward along Lake George on a scouting mission. Hiking on snowshoes due to the three feet of snow, the tracks of Roger ’s force were spotted on its march up the west side of Lake George.

Near the north end of Lake George, Rogers’ advanced scouts spotted their French counterparts. Rogers and his Rangers took up positions in a ravine, setting his force in ambush to await whatever French patrol would come to meet him.

Lake George scholarship available

KRAFTMAID® WINTER SALES EVENT

TICONDEROGA — The Lake George Land Conservancy is now accepting essays from high school seniors for its second annual scholarship program.

One high school senior will receive $750; an additional $250 will be awarded to the winner ’s school’s science program.

“We are pleased to offer this opportunity,” said Nancy Williams, LGLC’s executive director, “and hope that through this scholarship we can make a difference for an aspiring student as they move on to college or on another post-high school path.

“The prize is split between the student and their school because we also realize the need for funds in schools,” continued Williams. “The award may allow for addition equipment or for a field trip opportunity that may generate an interest in our natural world.”

Eligibility is restricted to high school seniors, including home-school students, whose school district lies mostly within the Lake George watershed — Bolton, Lake George and Ticonderoga school districts. Students who are year-round residents of Hulett's Landing are also eligible.

To apply, students must submit an essay between 1,000 and 2,000 words addressing this year ’s question: “What will Lake George be like 200 years from now? What will your descendants be doing on and around Lake George, and how will their experiences on Lake George be different from yours today?”

Essays must be received by April 1 and should be submitted via email to hbartonbenedict@lglc.org. A sub-committee of the Lake George Land Conservancy board of directors and staff will determine the winner. Essays will be judged on demonstrated knowledge of Lake George and creativity. Award decisions will be announced by June 1.

For more information contact Helen Barton Benedict, LGLC’s development manager, at 644-9673 or email hbartonbenedict@lglc.org, or visit www.lglc.org/GetInvolved/Scholarship.asp for more details.

“New York State certainly faces a lot of challenges,” Scozzafava said. “Irene and Sandy (damaging storms) added to our problems, but we’re going to rise out of this. We’ll build back — and build back better.”

Scozzafava said the governor’s budget proposal has five primary goals: — to create good-paying jobs and spur economic development; — to maintain fiscal integrity and discipline; — to create a world-class education system; — to restore New York as the progressive capital of the world; and — rebuild after Superstorm Sandy, which devastated the New York City area.

The proposed budget contains a lot of good things for the North Country, Scozzafava said.

She pointed to a proposed Adirondack Challenge whitewater rafting competition aimed at attracting attention and tourists to the region.

She also noted the continuation of the Regional Economic Development Council program, which has funded several major projects in the North Country.

Scozzafava also touted a 4.4 percent increase in state education spending. While that’s true across the state, the results are mixed locally.

In initial state aid projections Crown Point Central School is to get a 5 percent increase,

while Moriah gets 2 percent and Ticonderoga 1 percent. Putnam school is cut 34 percent and Schroon Lake is cut 6 percent.

Several people at the meeting, including Ticonderoga Central School Superintendent John McDonald, pointed to shortcomings in the state’s formula for distributing school aid.

John Whitely of Ticonderoga, a long-time advocate of property tax reform, urged Scozzafava to ask state officials to consider changes in school funding. While the 2 percent tax cap adopted two years ago has helped, he said, there is still too much reliance on local property taxes.

Several people expressed opposition to further state land purchases, expressing belief the money could be used in other areas, and there was discussion of the new state gun law.

There were no specific complaints about the proposed budget, though, and much praise for Cuomo.

“I very much appreciate it when I hear him talk on TV about the North Country,” Major said of Cuomo. “It’s very refreshing. I feel like he’s interested in us. I don’t feel like a step child any more.”

Scozzafava assured everyone the governor and state government does care about the Adirondacks.

“You might think its difficult to stand here and listen to people’s concerns and problems,” she said. “It’s not. The governor wants us to discuss his agenda, but he also wants to hear from you. Government begins with you.”

Offender sweep nets one arrest, more pending

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com LEWIS — The Essex County Sheriff ’s Department made one arrest during a countywide sweep of sexual offenders Jan. 29.

Willard Baker, age 41, of Port Henry was arrested for failure to register. After being released from the Essex County Correctional Facility in November Baker failed to reregister at his address in Port Henry. He was arraigned in front of Town Justice Rick Carpenter and released on his own recognizance.

Chief Deputy David Reynolds said that while the department constantly monitors sex offenders in the county, they do one-day, countywide sweeps two or three times each year.

“It is a continuous thing that we do checking up on sexual offenders, but two to three times a year we check all of them in one day,” Reynolds said. “It is a large effort with a lot of agencies helping us get to between 130 and 140 houses in one day.”

The sweep includes Level 1, 2 and 3 offenders, making sure that they are living where they are registered and that they are not in violation of the law.

Reynolds said that additional arrests are expected pend-

ing further investigation.

The Sheriff ’s Department was assisted by the Ticonderoga Police Department, Lake Placid Police Department, Saranac Lake Police Department, Moriah Police Department, United States Marshall Service, I.C.E. and the Essex County Probation Department.

Reynolds said that anyone who has information on sex offenders in their area or has questions about their monitoring can call the department at 873-6914.

Information on Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders can be found at either criminaljustice.state.ny.us/nsor/index.htm (New York inquiries) or nsopr.gov (federal search).

Deadline looms for tax discounts PORT HENRY — Applications for property tax discounts — also known as exemptions — have to be filed by March 1 in order for a property owner to be eligible for tax reductions in the 2013-2014 tax year.

Property owners may be eligible for four different exemptions on their primary residence: • Basic STAR — A school tax exemption for which property owners only need to apply for once and remains on the property as long as the owner resides there. It has no age requirement but the applicant’s federally adjusted gross income must be less than $500,000.

• Senior Enhanced STAR — A school tax exemption for property owners that turn 65 or older sometime during 2013 and have a 2011 federally adjusted gross income of $79,050 or less. Property owners must qualify and renew annually.

• Senior Low Income — Applies to school taxes and/or town and county taxes. The applicant must be 65 and meet income requirements. Property owners with gross income less than $32,400 will qualify for an exemption on the county portion of their tax bill. Property owners must qualify and renew annually.

• Veteran’s Exemption — Applies to town and county taxes only. The resident property owner must have been honorably discharged from active duty.

The spouse of the veteran, the un-remarried surviving spouse of the veteran or a Gold Star Parent may also be eligible.

Check with your local town or city assessor for more details before the March 1 deadline. Applications or renewals submitted after the March 1 deadline can not be accepted for the current year.

Moriah Central School recently held its annual Geography Bee. Joey Stahl, a seventh grade student, was the champion.

The runner up was Jay Strieble, also a seventh grade student. From left are: Kate Whitney, coordinator, Stahl and Alison Burch, high school principal.

Isn’t it interesting how the meaning, significance, and celebration of holidays change for each of us over time. For example, Valentine’s Day begins as a fun day where kids make cards and give heart shaped candies to classmates. It then transforms into a day where teenagers have ‘crushes’ and buy roses for someone special.

And eventually, it becomes a day where couples become unselfish and say and do things for their significant other. This holiday allows us the opportunity to more fully possess and demonstrate the very attribute and characteristic that defines the purpose of our existence, the solution to every problem, and the foundation of personal happiness – love!

Schroon Lake • Times of Ti - 15

A century later, SLA still fighting for Schroon Lake fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake Association was founded more than a century ago in response to a threat to the lake’s very existence.

“The threats are very different, but we’re still committed to ensuring the health of the lake and its surrounding communities,” Mark Granger, SLA president, said. “We face serious challenges, but are confident we can succeed with the support of local residents and governments.”

Granger, who was elected last August, officially took the reins of the SLA Jan. 1.

Schroon Lake is a 4,126 acre lake surrounded by two counties — Essex and Warren — and three towns — Schroon, Horicon and Chester. Schroon Lake and its watershed area are part of the Hudson River drainage system.

In 1911, New York State was considering a plan to dam the Schroon River in order to create a huge reservoir for downstate cities. That reservoir would have destroyed Schroon Lake and its surrounding communities. Today’s hamlet of Schroon Lake would have been flooded.

“The Schroon Lake Association was founded to fight that plan,” Granger said. “It succeeded — instead the state created the Great Sacandaga Lake (reservoir) — and ever since the organization has been dedicated to improving the environment and lives of the people in the area.”

Granger is a long-time SLA member. He started visiting Schroon Lake as a youngster in 1952, eventually buying a camp on Paradox Lake in 1985. An attorney, he recently retired from a Boston law firm and has taken up full-time residence in the community.

“I have a great love for the community and the area,” he said.

“As far as I’m concerned, it’s the prettiest place in the world.

Moving here was a dream come true.”

The work of the association is much easier, Granger said, because of the support it receives.

“We have a very dedicated board of directors and we have wonderful partnerships with local officials,” he said. “Roger Friedman, who is on the (Schroon) town board is a vice president. Mike Marnell (Schroon supervisor) is just a phone call away.

The town and community are extremely supportive of the organization.”

The SLA shares similar relations with the towns of Horicon and Chester, Granger noted.

“We work together very well,” he said. “We share our boat launch steward, milfoil harvesting and water quality testing programs with each town.”

An example of that cooperation is a $300,000 grant awarded to the town of Chester from the state in December. That grant will allow the SLA and the three towns to implement the association’s lake management plan, which was adopted in 2010.

“This plan is a shining example of local government and local conservation groups working together to protect the future of Schroon Lake,” Granger said. “Now the state has recognized the quality of that joint effort to support its implementation with a grant to the town of Chester and the lake management steering committee.”

The management plan calls for stormwater control projects, roadside erosion control, wastewater education, invasive species eradication efforts, education programs and more.

The adoption of the plan by all parties involved is a great success, Granger said.

“It was done in absolute harmony,” the SLA president said.

“Everyone left their political issues outside the meeting room door. People just wanted to work together for the benefit of the lake.”

With the help of Steve LaMere, a certified lake manager, the Schroon Lake Association has established its goals for 2013. It plans to:

— support programs to prevent introduction of invasive species; — continue work to eradicate the lake’s three existing invasive species, Eurasian milfoil, curly-head pond leaf and purple loosestrife; — monitor lake quality; — study the affects of run off into the lake; — search for contamination hot spots; — study zooplankton and aquatic plants, which will lead to determining the health of the fish populations; and — support boating safety classes and other educational efforts.

The SLA will also continue to sponsor its annual arts and crafts fair as well as support other community events and celebrations, Granger said.

“More than 100 years ago we almost lost the whole thing (Schroon Lake),” he said. “In some ways the threats are even more dangerous today because they’re hidden. We can’t ignore the threats to the lake.

“Our biggest challenge is to keep people informed and involved,” Granger continued. “When people work and vacation

in an area there are a lot of distractions. One of our jobs is to make people aware just how important this is. We want to educate people and hope they’ll join us.”

Granger replaces Helen Wildman as Schroon Lake Association president.

“What a wonderful job Helen did,” Granger remarked. “She’s left very big shoes to fill. I’m hopeful I can do the job she did.”

Mark Granger is the new presiThe Schroon Lake Association dent of the Schroon Lake Assoboard of directors meets the first ciation, a group dedicated to Monday of each month at 9:30 a.m. improving the health of in the Schroon town hall on Leland Schroon Lake and its residents.

Avenue. Those meetings are open to the public and people are encouraged to attend, Granger said.

Fish, Birds and Cats

I

t appears the ice fishing season has begun in earnest, with a safe cover of nearly a foot of ice securing a majority of the region’s lakes and ponds.

Recent reports from the inland lakes and ponds have been good, and fish have been on the take. However, angler reports from the Lake Champlain indicate times are still tough for smelt fishermen.

“We just aren’t catching smelt like we used to,” an old friend recently explained after a day on the ice near Port Henry. And obviously, he isn’t the only one!

In recent years, many veteran, Lake Champlain ‘smelters’ have retreated inland from the Big Lake. They’re now chasing smelt in places like the Saranacs, Tupper Lake, Schroon Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, Rollins Pond, Indian Lake and other such haunts.

Although numerous theories abound, there does not appear to be a single, definitive answer for the perceived lack of angling success for those targeting smelt on Lake Champlain.

However, several biologists believe a perceived decline in the smelt population is the result of two burgeoning populations of non-native species.

In recent years, the ever growing population of invasive, alewife has severely impacted the forage base of many species of ‘pan fish’ including smelt, perch and blue gills. There's no doubt the smelt population has been impacted by alewives through predation on eggs and fry, and competition for food sources.

The arrival of invasive alewife in the Lake Champlain ecosystem has already disrupted the established interactions of many native species due to overlaps in habitat range, breeding capacity and competition for a shared forage base.

However, many anglers believe that another, non-native invader has played a much greater role in reducing the lake’s supply of smelt, perch and other pan-fish.

First spotted on Lake Champlain in 1981, cormorants have

been establishing rookeries on the lake’s islands ever since.

Studies estimate the various populations of these fish-eating birds once peaked at nearly 20,000, prior to recent population control efforts. Estimates put the current number of the winged, interlopers in the range of 12,000 to 14,000 birds.

Researchers examining stomach contents of these bird’s have discovered cormorants prey primarily on panfish such as yellow perch, sunfish, and rainbow smelt. However, they also feed on the fry of popular game fish including bass, salmon and lake trout.

Although bird populations have begun to decrease, studies indicate they continue to forage nearly three pounds of fish, per day, per bird. Based on current population levels, the pesky birds consume nearly 20 tons of fish per day, and over the course of the season, it’s been estimated that cormorants are responsible for removing nearly 3,600 tons of fish from the Big Lake. Considering the average smelt weighs about a third of a pound; the impact is obvious.

However, the birds can’t take all of the blame. In recent years, water quality issues, invasive species and climate change have all combined to put a whammy on the lake’s fisheries.

A recent study conducted in Germany reveals there is a correlation between lake ice and the growth of plankton, which is a key component of the aquatic food chain.

The research revealed a decrease in the duration of lake ice will result in less plankton, which reduces the available diet for primary plankton consumers, the panfish. With trends indicating increasingly warmer temperatures and the ever diminishing duration of lake ice, it appears our fisheries will remain in danger.

According to records from the 19th century, the Big Lake had frozen over nearly every decade from the 1820s through the 1920s, with open water occurring only about once in a decade. The lake failed to ice over completely twice during the 1930s, but only once in the 1940s. However, since that time, complete freeze-overs have become much less common. During the decades of the 1980s and 2000s, the lake froze over only about half of the time, and in the 1990s, the lake froze completely for only three winters.

Lake Champlain has not been frozen completely since March of 2007, although there is now safe ice over much of the lake.

As most hard water enthusiasts know all too well, in recent years the Big Lake has been setting up nearly two weeks later

Killer Kitty Cats

Forget about the cougars and bobcats! That cute, little cat out in the barn may not be as innocent it looks, according to a recent study conducted by the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Division of Migratory Birds. The research indicates predation by outdoor cats is likely much greater than was previously estimated.

Published in the online journal, Nature Communications, the study reveals outdoor cats may be responsible for the deaths of an estimated 1.4 to 3.7 billion birds and between 6.9 to 20.7 billion mammals annually.

Researchers believe the mortality caused by cats may actually exceed all other sources of bird and mammal mortality combined, including windows, buildings, communication towers, vehicles, and pesticide poisoning.

The study indicates the vast majority of mortality is the result of stray, farm or feral cats that do not live with humans.

It also indicates that free-ranging cats and projects intended to manage those populations such as Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) actually result in greater harm to native wildlife species such as birds, mice, shrews, voles, squirrels, and rabbits.

As Dr. George Fenwick, President of American Bird Conservancy, explained, “The very high credibility of this study should finally put to rest the misguided notions that outdoor cats represent some harmless, new component to the natural environment.

The carnage that outdoor cats inflict is staggering.”
