Information needed for grant funding

TICONDEROGA — Many income surveys, the key to grant funding for a $13.8 million water project in Ticonderoga, still have not been returned.

The confidential income surveys were sent to water customers in October. Officials had hoped to complete the survey work last fall, but to date only about 50 percent of the surveys have been returned. To be eligible for the grant funding, 65 percent of the surveys must be completed. That means 350 more surveys are needed.

“I know some people don’t like providing this information,” Supervisor Deb Malaney said, “but it’s entirely confidential. The surveys are numbered, there are no names, and they go directly to the IDA (Essex County Industrial Development Agency) in Elizabethtown. No one here will see them.”

The surveys are crucial if

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Rolland Yaw knows the devastation of a nuclear strike. He’s seen it.

“You can’t believe it,” said Yaw, who visited the Japanese city of Nagasaki shortly after the American attack that ended World War II. “The entire city was leveled.

“I remember seeing the silhouette of a man burned into a brick wall,” he said. “I’ll never forget that.”

That explosion on Aug. 9, 1945, killed an estimated 80,000 people immediately. In the days that followed thousands more died from burns, radiation sickness and other injuries.

Yaw, who was serving in the U.S. Navy, was part of the American occupation force at the end of the war. Enlisting the day after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor at age 17, the Ticonderoga man survived the sinking of his ship and took part in several key battles, including Iwo Jima and Okinawa. American casualties at those two battles alone totaled 91,000 men.

Yaw was one of six American veterans who took part in a Ticonderoga High School program Feb. 8. Nearly 90 students had a chance to meet local veterans, interview them and write biographies.

It was a joint project of the school English and social studies departments, led by Deb Breitenbach and Bob Sutphen.

and the sacrifices of our veterans,” said Sutphen, a social studies teacher. “We want them to have a connection with our local veterans and to recognize their service. It really enriches their understanding our past.”

Breitenbach agreed.

“The goal is for the students to hear real stories from primary sources; to see what the things they’ve read about in history are all about,” said Breitenbach, an English teacher.

“Then we want them to write biographies of these men, both as a writing exercise and a way to remember them.”

Taking part in the program were Yaw, World War II Army Air Corps pilot Bruce Craig of Hague, Navy Cold War and Vietnam Era veteran Larry Lauman of Chilson, Army Korean War veteran John Barber of Silver Bay, Air Force Cold War and Vietnam veteran Tom Provoncha of Ticonderoga and Marine Desert Storm veteran Jim Decker, a Ticonderoga teacher.

Students had an opportunity to meet and visit with each veteran.

“They’re amazing,” senior Ben Karkoski said of the visiting veterans. “It’s insane what these men did. It’s incredibly impressive.

“They (Japanese) sank Mr. Yaw’s ship and he still went back and fought,” Karkoski added. “These are great men.”

Lauman, served 22 years on submarines, enlisting in 1963.

He served on America’s first nuclear attack subs and was assigned to the Tinosa, the sister ship of the submarine Thresher April 10, 1963, the Thresher sank during deep-dive trials southeast of Cape Cod, Mass. All 129 men aboard perished in 8,400 feet of water.

“I get emotional sometimes,” Lauman said, pausing to compose himself as spoke with students. “We knew a lot of the guys on that sub (Thresher).”

Provoncha spent 26 years in the Air Force, seeing duty in Vietnam and around the world.

“I think it’s important that we let these students know who vets are, what they’ve done and what they still do,” Provoncha said. “I want to explain a little bit about the sacrifices of military life.

“A lot of these kids really don’t know about our history and the men and women who have made America what it is,” he added. “It’s vitally important that they hear these stories and never forget.”

More money sought for Lake George TICONDEROGA — The FUND for Lake George and Lake George Waterkeeper applaud a resolution by the Lake George Park Commission that urges Gov. Andrew Cuomo to increase support in the state Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) from $100,000 to $300,000 to support control of aquatic invasive species in Lake George.

The recently released 2012-13 state budget by the governor allocated $100,000 in the EPF to help Lake George through an allocation to the LGPC. Lake George is one of the first lakes in New York to see a major Asian clam infestation, which covers 15 acres in four locations. In 2011, over $650,000 was spent to try and control this infestation. The Asian clam is one of four aquatic invasive species that is currently under management in Lake George. The Lake George community has spent over $5 million to control Eurasian watermilfoil since the mid-1980s.

The Lake George community anticipates spending another $600,000 - $750,000 for the control of Asian clams in 2012.

“The threat to Lake George from the current Asian clam infestation is immense. In Lake Tahoe this invasive species spread from a few acres to over 220 acres because it was not treated soon after it was discovered. Once blue and sandy resort bays are now littered with clams and clam shells on the lake bottom and covered with thick mucky algae blooms.

We cannot let this happen to Lake George” said Peter Bauer, executive director of the FUND for Lake George.

The Lake George Park Commission called upon the governor to increase spending on invasive species in the state Environmental Protection Fund from $100,000 to $300,000.

This would provide about 40 percent of the funds needed to help combat the Asian clam in 2012.

“Funding to fight the Asian clam is being contributed from municipalities around the lake, private environmental organizations, the Lake Champlain Basin Program, and private contributions. The State of New York needs to be a strong partner in this effort” said Bauer.

“One of the sad facts about the Eurasian watermilfoil infestation in Lake George is that the slow response by the Lake George community in the mid-1980s allowed this invasive plant not only to spread widely throughout the lake, but because of the popularity and high volume of public boating in the lake, milfoil was exported from Lake George to other water bodies across the Adirondack Park and state. We cannot let this happen with Asian clams” said Chris Navitsky, the Lake George Waterkeeper.

The governor ’s proposed state budget is currently undergoing budget hearings in Albany and will be subject to ongoing deliberations with the Legislature. The FUND for Lake George and Lake George Waterkeeper will urge area representatives to push for increased Asian clam funding levels.

The FUND for Lake George is a not-for-profit, privately funded organization dedicated to the protection of Lake George. The FUND for Lake George is managed by a Board of Trustees and maintains an office in Lake George. For more information go online at www.fundforlakegeorge.org The Lake George Waterkeeper was launched in 2002 with a mission to defend the natural resources of Lake George and its watershed through promoting the compliance with existing laws, scientific research and sound engineering principles, which provides for the common good of the community.

Infrastructure key to healthy communities Whitney Houston: A tragic ending to a shining star

A

s they say in the lottery, you have to pay in order to play.

This is also true when it comes to maintaining the infrastructure of a municipality. In order to make it attractive to potential businesses, investors and residents, you have to pay.

Recently, the town of Elizabethtown held a public forum on the creation of its sewer system. Supervisor Margaret “Maggie” Bartley has stated that she feels a municipal wastewater facility is needed in order to bring new businesses to the area, using the examples of a car wash or a laundry mat.

According to the information given at the meeting, a new sewer system would come with a price tag of around $364 annually for a typical one-family home located in the new district.

We believe that improving the infrastructure of a community is crucial in attracting business and residents, and we applaud voters of the proposed sewer district for having the forward thinking to approve this project when it went to vote in July 2010.

Elizabethtown is a town that many commute to for work at the county offices or school, and would be an ideal place for a car wash or laundry mat, along with an expanded offering of other services, like food and recreation.

It’s like the phrase from Field of Dreams, “If you build it, they will come.” And if they come, the $364 is going to go down as an increase of system users and an increase of tax base will lessen the burden on everyone.

We urge residents to approve easements on their properties to help make the $9.5 million system a reality.

Along with the development of infrastructure, there is also the price that comes to keep infrastructure maintained. You can either be proactive about it or wait to pay the piper.

In Westport, the town is paying for numerous infractions at the town highway garage, which was described by town supervisor Daniel Connell as a facility that is obsolete even if it is brought into compliance with state regulations. Town officials are also looking to renovate their current home, known as the WADA Building, and members of the fire department continue to work in what they describe as an obso-

lete building.

Voters balked at a proposed multi-use facility last summer, and the trickle of violations at these run down, obsolete facilties will cost thousands in repairs and fines. This tidal wave of expenses is already starting to be felt. Instead of being proactive when it came to the chance to update infrastructure, the voters of the town chose instead to delay the inevitable in the hopes that a cheaper alternative could be found.

The lack of forward thinking by these voters is now going to cost even more in the long run, while community needs remain unmet. We are urging Elizabethtown voters to not make the same mistake.

A highly functioning infrastructure also helps with the image of a town and the self esteem of its residents. People can take pride in the fact that they have resources that work and provide an avenue for improvement, instead of always hearing about Department of Environmental Conservation Consent Orders that come with lofty fines.

At the same time, there are also cases in which too much infrastructure was put in place, and redundancy exists. For example, Keeseville is considering dissolving its village government and merging it with the towns of Chesterfield and Ausable.

If such a consolidation can save taxpayers the cost of occupying a village hall or village highway garage, than it is certainly worth exploring.

That savings can then be reinvested in the remaining infrastructure, ensuring the two towns do not find themselves in a situation like Westport.

Ultimately it is up to town leaders to have the foresight to offer plans that will benefit the community in the most cost effective way to taxpayers for years to come.

That’s what is on the drawing table in Elizabethtown. Without it, our municipalities will continue to dwindle in numbers as businesses evaporate forcing residents to seek employment elsewhere.

Museum board thankful To the Times of Ti:

Moriah

Memory tree a success

Reflections Reflections

To the Times of Ti:

The Ticonderoga Heritage Museum board of trustees would like to thank the BPOE Lodge #1494 for sponsoring a benefit supper for our museum on Feb.10.

The event was very successful. Money raised from this event goes toward maintaining free admission to our museum programs, especially our children’s summer workshop series.

Special thanks to the cooks and crew and to everyone who supported this supper.

Steve Boyce, president Ticonderoga Heritage Museum Board

The Ticonderoga Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary would like to thank everyone who donated to our memory tree this year.

This was our 10th year of having the memory tree and it again was very successful. All money collected will be given away in scholarships for the Ticonderoga Middle and High School graduations. Thank you again for your continuous support.

Betty Mason Memory Tree Chairperson

Constitution at risk

To the Times of Ti: To the Times of Ti: After reading your piece (Dan Alexander ’s column) on the First Amendment, which I agree with, a glaring reality was staring me in the face. Your whole essay discusses government actions that are grossly illegal and unconstitutional.

You seam to stick to your argument, while ignoring these abuses to our Constitution, abuses that suggest to the reader the fact that the First Amendment might not even be in effect any more than the other amendments.

That being the case, then what is the point?

The health care law is unconstitutional because it violates the 10th Amendment. So instead of discussing which parts of it are unfair, why not some outrage that it was passed at all and assaults our Bill of Rights? Congress has passed legislation that neutralizes every Amendment except the first.

Their daily activities in Washington make a mockery of our constitution. You don’t mention that mandates are not laws and therefore have no power under law. Or that it is unlawful for Congress to delegate their responsibility of passing laws to any other body.

You mention freedoms we have come to take for granted.

Most of them no longer exist, and will remain lost to us until and unless we insist that Congress follow the constitution literally. When you take something for granted, it is not noticed when it is no longer there. The Constitution does not provide for health care and should not. I had far better health care 40 years ago than I do now because of government intrusion at the bequest of drug and insurance companies and it will be worse, and rationed, under Obamacare.

The point you make in your essay is valid but it is a wart on the elephant of Constitutional abuse. If you truly wish to protect the First Amendment (and you can’t save one unless you save them all), then you need to familiarize yourself with the document that bestows those rights we take for granted. When your working knowledge of the Constitution is such that any time government tries to bypass it you immediately lash out in your opinion column to its defense, then your paper becomes the type of press that was granted freedom in the First Amendment . The very press Jefferson and Madison had in mind.

Remember, if we lose our Constitution and we are closer to that happening than you think, then we have no recourse to the governmental abuse and unfairness your essay talks about. I do not think they would boldly declare it null and void, but it might quietly be moved from the National Archives to the Smithsonian. Think about it.

Jeff MacMakin Putnam

Editorial contained mistakes To the Times of Ti: I must respond to your last Viewpoint editorial because you make some strong statements which are simply not correct. Plan B is emergency contraception and is not an abortion pill. Plan B is the same hormone included in many birth control pills and does not induce abortions.

As stated by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, "Emergency contraceptive pills will not cause an abortion. Emergency contraception is not the same as the abortion pill. There is no time when the emergency contraceptive pills available in the United States would end a pregnancy once it has started."

Furthermore, it is not affected by the Affordable Care Act because women do not need a prescription from a doctor to buy it.

It is already available over the counter from the pharmacy for women 18 years and older. It will remain available over the counter at the pharmacy regardless of this act.

I believe it's important for every American to have access to quality health care and the facts.

Recently our daughter (Jordan McKee) set a record and tied another in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference bowling. We just wanted to take a minute to express our appreciation to everyone who has supported her.

The response from other bowlers, coaches, parents and her teachers has been heartwarming. We are pretty sure that every coach in the section has gone out of their way to congratulate her, whether it be a high five, a hug or a handshake.

Shortly after she set the record, an opposing team presented her with a certificate signed by the whole team and coach; this is the same team that sang “Happy Birthday” to her when she bowled at their lanes on her birthday. Another team gave her a necklace at sectionals this past Saturday — talk about sportsmanship!

Jordan has made so many friends through this sport over the years, some who have graduated and moved on that she misses and some that she still gets to spend some time with now and then.

Special thanks to her teammates, North Bowl Lanes for the tribute on their monitors, Adirondack Lanes for the banner and many other things, Coach (Shannon) Huntington for understanding the need to take a short break from pitching, her bowling coaches, Donna Fleury and Rick Liddell and to Don Gijanto for keeping her ball tuned up and ready to go! Donna and Don are her biggest supporters, besides us, of course!

Also congratulations to Donna for winning Coach of the Year!

Glenn and Lori McKee Hague

Thanks for a job well done To the Times of Ti: At our Crown Point (town board) Feb. 9 meeting our new supervisor informed the public that Crown Point is now in the reimbursement phase for the repairs to town roads, which everyone in Crown Point was well aware of the tremendous damage caused by Tropical Storm Irene.

Our highway department did an outstanding job; there is no denying that. Behind the scenes, what most do not realize is a frenzy of paper work. For any type of governmental reimbursement for these emergency situations FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) requires municipalities to track in detail every person’s hours and every item used to bring the infrastructure back to normalcy. Our highway supervisor (Eugene “Peanut” Ingleston) not only coordinated and worked with his men but also had the added responsibility of tracking each and every element used to bring our roads back into existence and make them safe for our community.

The next part of the formula in order for our town to collect even a dollar, the town supervisor, who at that time was Bethany Kosmider, had to collect the data and begin the meticulous task of FEMA required paper work that must be filled out. The data must be tallied from the forms given and entered appropriately in the required FEMA format.

I wanted to extend a thank you to not only our Highway Supervisor, Eugene Ingleston, but also to our Water/Wastewater Plant Operator, Gary Allen, as well each and every town employee, and our volunteer fire and rescue team. You all did an outstanding job in an extreme situation. I would also like to thank the supervisor at that time, Bethany Kosmider, for the diligence and persistence that is needed to meet required deadlines so our town could receive the much needed financial support from our government through FEMA. Planning, organization, and a team willing to work together is best plan any group can incorporate.

Robert Patnode Jr, Councilman, Town of Crown Point

Letters give glimpse into Moriah’s past T

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

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

Epilogue to Aunt Ell’s Letters by Milley Adams Witherbee Milliken-Oct. 1953, Granddaughter of Thomas & Milley Adams Weatherby” “Re: Thomas Francis Witherbee) He enlisted in the Civil War at a very young age and was a member of the Band of the 30 PA Inf. Regiment under the leadership of one Dave Morgan of Vergennes, Vermont.

Upon his return home in 1864, he organized a Village Band and Dave Morgan came over to train it. Since that time, until a few years ago, there has always been a band in Port Henry and at least in the early days, a very good one. I know that it was considered the best band in Northern New York. Father played the cornet. My brother George was a member of the band later on and an accomplished cornetist - he was leader of the University Band when he was a student at Cornell.

Uncle John sent Father to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he gained the technical knowledge required in his chosen profession. He and Mother (Caroline Amaryllis Pease) were married in 1867 and went to Fletcherville, a short distance from Mineville, where Father, at the age of twenty-four, was in charge of the operation of a charcoal blast furnace. The following quotation is from an article contributed by Frank Spencer Witherbee (his nephew but only nine years his junior) to the History of the Village of Port Henry by Dr. Charles B. Warner, published in 1931: “Fletcherville Charcoal Blast Furnace” This furnace was located three miles from Mineville and was built in 1865 by S. H. And J. G. Witherbee and Mr. F. P. Fletcher, of Bridport, Vermont.

A Mr. Bailey was its first superintendent, and afterward succeeded by Thomas F. Witherbee. The quality of the iron made was of a high character, and some of the first steel rails in this country were manufactured from this iron.*** It is a matter of historical interest to note in connection with Thomas F. Witherbee’s administration of this furnace that for over a period of over two months about twenty-three hundred pounds of pig iron were produced on the consumption of less than sixteen hundred pounds of charcoal. This low fuel record, it is believed, has never been surpassed by any modern blast furnace. It is also interesting to record that Mr. Witherbee ran, with this furnace, the first chemical laboratory ever attached to a blast furnace. The first closed-front used in America was also installed by Mr. Witherbee in this furnace.

Our brothers, John and George, were born in Fletcherville, John on July 16, 1868 and George on July 16, 1871. The family moved back to Port Henry in 1872 or 1873 and lived in the house which Uncle John had built for his mother. Here Jessie and I were born and Tom. Father was then engaged in designing and building for the Cedar Point Iron Company “ a fine modern Blast Furnace on the southern end of the Village of Port Henry. Whitwell hot blast stoves were imported from England and the furnace was the most expensive one that had yet been constructed. Installed in this furnace were a number of innovations of his own invention, perhaps the most outstanding of which was the “Witherbee Bronze Twyer,” which was soon used by some, if not all, of the furnaces in the country. He was Superintendent and General Manager of this furnace for many years and became one of the acknowledged foremost blast furnacemen in the country. He was a Charter Member of the American Institute of Mining Engineers.”

Ti woman elected to NY hospitality board TICONDEROGA — Allison Kaupelis, director of sales & marketing at the Best Western Plus Ticonderoga Inn & Suites, Ticonderoga, was elected to the New York State Hospitality & Tourism Association’s Board of Directors, effective Jan. 1.

NYSH&TA is a not-for-profit trade organization representing

Hague sediment basin project assists Lake George HAGUE — Three sediment basins in Hague were cleaned out — two on Hague Brook and another at the mouth of Jenkins Brook — recently.

The project was a team effort by the Lake George Association, Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District, and the town of Hague. Over 1,100 cubic yards of material was removed from the three sites.

“These basins are instrumental to maintaining high water quality in Lake George,” said LGA executive director Walt Lender of

Ticonderoga. “We began constructing the basins several years ago, and now every one to two years we go in to clean them out. The LGA provides project support and partial funding for the construction projects as well as funding to help maintain the sites.”

Approximately $5,000 of the $8,000 Hague clean-outs has been funded by the LGA, with in-kind management and project oversite by the Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District, and in-kind hauling services provided by the town of Hague.

“The town of Hague realizes the importance of maintaining the basins and the health of Lake George. We were happy to contribute to the project,” said Hague Supervisor Dan Belden.

From the upper basin on Hague Brook, crews removed 530 cubic yards of material, or roughly 31 dump trucks full. On the lower basin on Hague Brook, 285 cubic yards of material was removed, equating to roughly 16 dump trucks full. At Jenkins Brook, 345 cubic yards of sediment was removed,

roughly 20 dump trucks full.

Beginning in the early 1990s, an active program of utilizing upland in-stream sediment basins to capture sediment began in Warren County, spearheaded by the Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District.

Old reservoirs were cleaned out and new instream sediment basins were created. By slowing stream velocity, basins allow sediment to drop out of suspension and be captured by the basin prior to reaching Lake George.

County Scrabble tournament assists literacy group Ti man captures top honors TICONDEROGA — A Ticonderoga man won the Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties Scrabble Tournament in Ticonderoga recently.

Hague woman to participate in D.C. walk Donations to fight breast cancer

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com HAGUE — A Hague woman is preparing to walk nearly 40 miles to raise money and awareness for the fight against breast cancer.

Lori Ross of Hague will participate in the Avon Walk For Breast Cancer in Washington, D.C., May 5 and 6. It’s a 39mile trek around the city. The course will conclude the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and the White House.

“This will be the third time I have participated in the Avon Walk For Breast Cancer,” Ross said. “Not only is it a wonderful way to create awareness and support the many services and programs the walk benefits, but a way to do my part in finding a cure. So many people, their lives, and their families are affected by breast cancer.”

Ross has been training by walking throughout the area.

“I walk because I can, for those who cannot walk themselves,” she said.

Ross must raise $1,800 to take part in the walk. She’s seeking the support of friends and neighbors.

“Your support and donations would greatly be appreciated,” Ross said. “Anything amount will help reach my goal and assistance with this fundraiser.”

“An average 80 percent of net funds raised by an Avon Walk stay in the general area of the country where the event takes place,” Ross noted. “The remaining 20 percent helps ensure that care programs are available in all 50 states, as well as national research programs, have adequate funding to make the most progress possible in the fight against breast cancer.”

Ross said the statistics on breast cancer are staggering. She pointed out: — a woman has a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime; — every 3 minutes, there is a new diagnosis of invasive breast cancer; — approximately 230,480 women and 2,140 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year; — every 13 minutes, a life is lost to breast cancer; — 39,520 women and 450 men in the U.S. will die from the disease annually; — the National Cancer Institute estimates that approximately 2.6 million U.S. women with a history of breast cancer are living today, more than half of whom were diagnosed less than 10 years earlier. Most of these individuals were can-

cer-free, while others still had evidence of cancer and may still be undergoing treatment; — there are more than 250,000 women under the age of 40 in the U.S living with breast cancer, and over 11,000 will be diagnosed this year; — White, non-Hispanic women are more likely to develop breast cancer but African-American women are more likely to die from it; — breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Hispanic women; — men get breast cancer too. Survival for men with breast cancer is similar to survival for women, when their stage of diagnosis is the same; — men at any age may develop breast cancer, but it is usually found in men between 60 and 70 years of age. Male breast cancer makes up less than 1 percent of all cases of breast cancer; and — male breast cancer is sometimes caused by inherited gene mutations, and a family history of breast cancer can increase a man’s risk.

Ross stressed early detection of the disease saves lives. She urged people to get regular health exams and to get more information by going online at www.avonwalk.org.

Ticonderoga from page 1 Ticonderoga is to qualify for grant funding said Sue Huestis, Ti water and sewer clerk.

“There is money available to help with this project,” Huestis said, “But only if we get those surveys returned.”

The town is now working with a Ticonderoga High School government class, Huestis said. Students will take the surveys door-to-door and wait while they are completed.

Residents with questions about the surveys can call Huestis at 585-6265 ext. 10.

Facing a state mandate, the town of Ticonderoga is about to begin a comprehensive water system upgrade.

Town officials hope to replace the existing water system, which draws water from Lake George and Gooseneck Pond, with a series of wells.

The proposed groundwater project is estimated to cost up to $13.8 million.

That’s actually a bargain. The state Department of Health has ordered Ticonderoga to either replace Gooseneck or cover it. Covering the reservoir carries an estimated cost of $31 million. The state has also ordered repairs to the Lake George water system that could cost another $12-24 million.

Ticonderoga has been declared a hardship case by the state, which makes it eligible for a no-interest loan to cover the project. That’s good news, but local officials are hoping for grant money with the help of residents.

In 2009 the state Department of Health ordered Ti to replace or cover the Gooseneck reservoir, which was created in 1931. The town developed a plan to replace the reservoir with tanks, but an inspection discovered problems with the Gooseneck dam and with transmission lines.

Gooseneck was designed to serve the entire town, but over time demand exceeded Gooseneck’s capacity. In 1965 a Lake George water supply was developed for emergency use. Eventually Lake George water became necessary to meet daily demand.

During the most recent inspection the state also found problems at the Baldwin Road filtration plant that handles Lake George water.

At the urging of state officials, Ticonderoga then began considering an upgrade of the entire water system, utilizing groundwater sources. Preliminary engineering studies have identified five possible aquifers in Ticonderoga that could be water sources.

At its October meeting the town board authorized bonding up to $2.7 million to search for groundwater. It’s hoped $2 million of that will come as a state grant.

Facing a state order to have a new water plan in place by Dec. 31, the town plans to begin test well drilling this spring, according to Tracy Smith town water and sewer superintendent. Once test wells are complete, final plans will be designed to take advantage of the best water source.

Smith said the state expects an engineering plan for the project by the end of 2012. Construction will begin in 2013 and be completed in 2015.

Information on the project is available on the town website at www.townofticonderoga.com

SCHROON LAKE — Yvonne Foster Southerland believes “A picture is worth a thousand words.”

The Schroon Lake author uses photos to tell the story of her family in her new book, “Legacy: Seven Generations of a Family.” “‘Legacy: Seven Generations of a Family’ is my attempt to share our family history with the younger generation,” Southerland said. “Our ancestors, like the ancestors of most Americans, were strong, honest and hard-working. They got up and went to school, got up and went to work and got up and went to church. That is what they did.

“There is no one celebrity among us,” she said. “They are basically ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary feats. Up from slavery, poverty and lack of formal schooling, each generation worked to push the next generation one more rung up the ladder.”

Unlike other biographical books, “Legacy” presents a pictorial history of the author ’s family, with far more pages of photographs and documents than there are pages of written text. It is her attempt to share their family history with the younger generation in an interesting way, limiting the biographical profiles to one page and allowing the pictures to speak for themselves.

Through “Legacy,” Southerland invites readers to view a portrait of her family and travel with her to Forsyth, Ga., of the 1880s and later to Macon, Ga., of the early 1900s. From there, the journey continues to Talladega, Ala., Cheyney, Pa., and finally to Lincoln University.

For more information on this book, log on to www.Xlibris.com.

A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor of fine arts, Southerland holds a master ’s degree from Pratt Institute, the Advanced Certificate in Administration and Supervision from City College of New York, and certificates from the University of Florence and the New York School of Interior Design.

She has taught in public schools in Pennsylvania and New York as well as the American School in Gelnhausen, Germany, and the American School of Languages in Florence, Italy.

While in Italy, she also edited “Florence and its Hills,” a tour guide of Florence. While teaching in New York City, she served as a consultant to the Educational Testing Service of Princeton, N.J., for the PRAXIS Subject Assessment in Art. She has also served as a consultant to the Middle Schools Program in Visual Literacy of the Museum of Modern Art.

As an art educator, she has supervised student teachers from Medgar Evers and Brooklyn Colleges and is now retired after 27 years of teaching. Under Southerland’s direction, students created a mural for the African Burial Ground Project which was displayed at the burial site in lower Manhattan.

Man heads auctioneers group NORTH HUDSON — More than 60 auction professionals and their families from throughout New York State gathered on Jan. 15 and 16 at The Radisson Hotel in Utica for the 57th annual convention of the New York State Auctioneers Association.

The convention featured seminars on topics including technology and the auction business, photography workshops and the past president of the National Auctioneers Association Mark Rogers of Mt. Airy, N.C., presented motivational seminars. The purpose of this annual event is to provide continuing education to auction professionals to give them the tools to better serve both the buyers and the sellers.

Special events included the NYSAA Annual Business meeting, which included election of officers and board of directors.

Newly-elected president is John Gokey of North Hudson and vice president is James Mason of Fillmore.

Also, special awards went to Hall of Fame inductee Matt Manasse of Whitney Point; Auctioneer of the Year was awarded to Ronald Wheeler, Jr. of Liverpool; and the 2012 Bid Calling Champion is Kip Blanchard of Potsdam.

16 - Times of Ti • Boy Scouting

February 18, 2012

Scouting reaches boys of all ages Cub Scout Pack 6100, which was formed in 2010 , serves boys in Port Henry.

“Our scouts pushed through the year earning the Centennial Quality Unit / Journey to Excellence award two years in a row along with the National Summer Time Achievement award for 2011,” said Karen Gangi, Pack 6100 Committee chairwoman.

“Earning these awards took dedication and lots of hard work from the boys as a pack, mixed with a whole lot of fun of course!

“Stable leadership from Cubmaster Randy Welch along with Webelo leaders Robert Bobbie and Alex Scrodin is what really holds this pack together, they just have a way with the boys,” she added. “Strong parent support is also important, pulling families together is what it is really all about. Our leaders run many programs to keep the boys motivated. One of the more popular ones is the academic and sport belt loop program. This program involves certain tasks that the boys must complete at home or at meeting, when these are complete scouts are awarded a loop to be worn on their belt.”

Gangi said the goal in scouting is creating responsible, knowledgeable young men.

In the past year Port Henry Cubs have camped at Yogi Bear Campground, where scouts preformed a flag retirement ceremony for the first time, built a float for the Port Henry Labor Day parade, took part in a Fort Ticonderoga re-enactment, learned archery and shooting BB guns at Camp Bedford and attended an Adirondack Phantoms hockey game.

The Mineville VFW sponsors the locals Cubs.

Boy Scouts troops are active in Ticonderoga, Crown Point and Schroon Lake. A Boy Scout group is about to form in Moriah.

Boys Scouts is available to boys ages 1118. The program achieves the BSA’s objectives of developing character, citizenship and personal fitness.

leader. “They undertake many community service projects while they strive to meet their achievements and earn their many badges, belt loops and patches.”

Ti Cub Scout community service projects have included the Big Change Round-up for the Vermont Children’s Hospital, Scouting for Food for the Ticonderoga Food Pantry, shopping for the Tiny Tim Christmas Wish Program, helping at community dinners and marching in local parades.

Ticonderoga Cubs have also taken part in the Lake George Association Floating Classroom program, toured the Hancock House, visited the Ticonderoga Fire Department and new fire museum, had outdoor skills training, visited the planetarium at the Ticonderoga High School, taken the garnet mines adventure at Barton Mines, been on an Adirondack Extreme field trip, hiked Mount Defiance, attended Cub Scout Sunday church services and held a Pinewood Derby.

Ticonderoga Cub Scouts enjoyed a day on the Lake George Association Floating Classroom learning about the lake. at 532-7485.

In Crown Point Troop 70 has a long history, producing a large number of Eagle Scouts in a small community. Steve Mildon is the scoutmaster.

While there is no a Boy Scout Troop in Moriah, one is forming.

“Our new Boy Scout committee is currently accepting applications for committee members and boys grade 6-12 who would like to join Boy Scouts,” Gangi said.

Interested people can call Karen at 9427143 or Randy at 546-7975 for an application.

“Cub Scout Pack 100 along with a new Boy Scout committee is currently planning a Boy Scout cross over ceremony in April.”

Gangi said. “We have four boys that will cross over in to Boy Scouts. Brandon Burnham, Sam Gangi, John Martinez and Sebastian Spouse will end their journey as a Cub Scout and cross in to the world of Boy Scouting. As these four boys leave Cub Scouting, all four of them will take with them the highest award in Cub Scouting, The Arrow of Light. We are very proud of them and all their hard work. We have second year Webelos that are not far behind — Cody Boucher, Jeffery Genier, Nolan Costello and Michael Demarais will be joining them in the year to

come.”

Ticonderoga also offers Venture Scouts.

Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who ages are 14-20. Venturing’s purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.

Janet Mallon leads Ticonderoga Venture Crew 72. She can be reached at 547-8996.

Venturing provides a high level of opportunities for achievement, learning and outdoor activities. The Ticonderoga group tries to plan one big, multiple-day trek each year.

In 2008 local Venture Scouts went to Colorado and to the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico for two weeks.

Other treks have included a co-ed, eightday canoe trip to LaVerendrye Wildlife Preserve in Canada and a canoe trip to Algonquin Provincial Park in Canada.

The group regularly goes camping, hiking and climbing.

As a Venturer, youth can also follow an advancement program to earn their Bronze, Gold and Silver Awards. Earning the Silver Award in Venturing is much like earning an Eagle Scout Award in Boy Scouting.

EMERGENCY SQUAD

MOVES INTO NEW HOME

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad is settling into its new home.

The ambulance service has moved into its new building at 118 Champlain Avenue, located between Champlain Avenue and The Portage.

“It’s a great building and has already been a big help to us,” said Rick Morse, squad president. “Morale has really picked up. Everybody feels good and is more involved.”

The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad had been located in a small garage behind the Community Building since 1963.

That building long-ago became too small for a modern ambulance corps. The location also caused concerns about emergency vehicles pulling into traffic.

The new building is 4,100 square feet with access from Champlain Avenue and The Portage.

“We think we have a great location here,” Morse said.

“We’re very pleased with the way things have turned out.”

The new building is on the site of the old Ticonderoga Civic Center and was sold to the ambulance squad in 2009 by the town of Ticonderoga.

The building includes two drive through bays, a meeting room, offices, kitchen, lounge and storage areas, Morse said.

It also has a state-of-the-art propane heating system that automatically adjusts to weather conditions. It also has a generator so it can remain operational during power outages.

The architect was Steve Jung of Schroon Lake.

The building project had a budget of $860,000 — $280,000 raised by the squad and a $600,000 loan. Work was just recently completed and there are still some outstanding bills, but Morse said the project will be under budget.

Still, there is a 30-year mortgage. The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad receives no taxpayer funding from Ticonderoga and operates strictly on donations, insurance billing and do-

nations.

“We’ll always be fund raising,” Morse said. “That’s how we survive. We have to pay the mortgage on the building, maintain our equipment, meet our financial obligations.”

Helping the squad financially is the sale of the former ambulance building to Lakeside Heating and Plumbing. That $68,000 will go toward the new mortgage payment, Morse said.

Don Paige was the general contractor for the project.

Morse noted the contributions of many people in the community. Dave Woods donated all the excavating work. Ticonderoga Central School donated tables and a projector screen for use in the training room. Members Sue and Dennis Johnson donated kitchen appliances. The Carillon Garden Club will complete landscaping at the facility this spring.

The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad has 30 members, including 12 basic emergency medical technicians, three critical care emergency medical technicians and one paramedic.

State-of-the-art building open

It has three ambulances. The Ti squad is the only North Country unit with a “thumper,” an auto-pulse cardiopulmonary resuscitation device.

In 2011 the squad responded to 526 calls. That was a slow year, according to Captain Mark Barber. In 2010 the squad answered 620 calls. Only the Lake Placid Ambulance Squad, which has paid staff, answered more calls in Essex County last year, Barber said.

The ambulance crew also stands by at local events, like Ticonderoga High School football games, activities at Fort Ticonderoga, road races and community events.

The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Barber explained members work four-hour shifts. Each member is required to work one shift a week as well as participate in training and fund raising efforts.

“We have a great group,” Morse said. “They’re very dedicated. We’re one of the few (ambulance) organizations in the North Country that doesn’t have paid staff.”

The new building has also sparked a renewed interest in the Ticonderoga Emergency Squad. Barber pointed out the group has gotten several new members in the past month and expects more people to join.

“We have applications for membership here or people can talk to any member,” Barber said. “We welcome new members.”

Morse credited Dennis and Sue Johnson for helping make the new emergency services building a reality. Dennis Johnson was squad president in 2009 when the project started.

Both remain members.

‘Dennis and Sue Johnson really made this happen,” Morse said. “Without them we wouldn’t be here.”

The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad has a long history. The unit formed following World War II when patients were picked up in an old hearse donated by a local funeral home.

Crown Point to get hurricane reimbursement FEMA, state money coming

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point had prepared in case of a rainy day. When that day came, in the form of Hurricane Irene last August, the community weathered the storm and its financial fallout well.

“We’re very fortunate to have a highway commissioner (highway superintendent Eugene “Peanut” Ingleston) who plans ahead,” Supervisor Charlie Harrington said. “Because of Peanut and his hard work Crown Point is in good shape today.”

Town officials have learned they will receive money from the federal and state governments to reimburse local taxpay-

ers for much of the cost of Hurricane Irene repairs.

The town spent $191,000 to make road and bridge repairs following the storm. Ingleston learned $136,464 of that money is eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency and New York State funding.

After Ingleston filed the necessary paperwork, Crown Point officials were informed FEMA will reimburse the town the maximum 75 percent allowed while the state will pay for 12.5 percent of the damage.

That means $119,406 for the town.

Tom Walters, a town trustee, noted that because of Ingleston’s careful management of the highway department budget Crown Point has already paid for all the storm damage repairs. That means the $119,406 can be used elsewhere.

“We have a lot of options,” Walters said. “We had enough money saved for a rainy day that, literally, we were prepared.”

Some of that money may be used to purchase an excavator for the highway department.

During Hurricane Irene repairs last summer the town’s grader was wrecked during an accident. To get by the town entered into a six-month lease-to-purchase agreement for an excavator. That agreement is about to expire.

“We have a chance to buy this excavator for about $75,000,” Walters said. “We’ve already paid about $25,000 to lease. If we don’t buy it we’ve wasted the money spent on the lease.”

Crown Point still needs to make some repairs related to the hurricane. This spring another $50,000 worth of work will be done.

Once complete, Ingleston will submit that paperwork for further reimbursement from the federal and state governments, Harrington said.

Crown Point completing energy project Town gets state reimbursement

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Facing a state deadline, Crown Point is nearing completion of an energy-savings project at its town hall.

The town sought New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) funding for the project two years ago. The deadline for completing the work is March 30.

“We still need to add insulation to our ceiling, but we’re almost there,” Supervisor Charlie Harrington said. “We’ll close the door on this project by the March 30 deadline.”

Besides the additional insulation, the town has installed energy-efficient lighting, added sensors to control lights, installed timers to control electrical usage, replaced a refrigerator with a new, energy-efficient unit and added new ther-

mostats to control heat.

The entire project has cost the town about $1,800, Harrington said. NYSERDA will reimburse the community $1,400.

“It’s not as much as we thought it would be,” Harrington said of the reimbursement, “but there will be continued energy savings in the future.”

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority was created in 1975. NYSERDA’s earliest efforts focused solely on research and development with the goal of reducing the state’s petroleum consumption. Today, NYSERDA’s aim is to help New York meet its energy goals by reducing energy consumption, promoting the use of renewable energy sources and protecting the environment.

NYSERDA did an energy audit of the Crown Point town hall at the beginning of the project, making recommendations and suggestions aimed at saving energy.

Sign to honor World Series MVP Johnny Podres to be remembered

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Visitors to Port Henry will soon be greeted by a sign honoring the community’s most famous resident.

A 4 x 8 feet sign will be erected on Route 9n/22 south of the village in memory of Johnny Podres, the 1955 World Series Most Valuable Player and native son.

“Everyone from the town of Moriah should be proud and honored to know that our goal has been reached for the placement of the Johnny Podres sign,” said Pat Salerno Jr., who has led the campaign to honor Podres. “Mr. Willie Grant has started on the Johnny Podres sign which will be installed on the south side of Port Henry in the spring of 2012.

“The Podres family — Joan, Joey, John Jr. and Johnny Sr.’s brother Tom would like to thank everybody,” Salerno said.

Podres, who died in 2008, grew up on Lamos Place in Witherbee. He graduated from Mineville High School in 1950 before joining the Brooklyn Dodgers. After a long career as a pitcher and later as a pitching coach, Podres retired to Queensbury.

A community campaign raised $2,000 for the sign. Salerno got the project started by selling his own collection of baseball cards during last summer ’s inaugural Johnny Podres Day. A dinner, gift basket party and raffle at Boni’s Bistro in Port Henry also raised money.

The sign will feature a large photo of Po-

Joining Salerno in contributing to the sign project were Boni Salerno of Boni’s Bistro and Pub, her staff, Delores (Lootz) Burhart, Carol Genier, Helen Sprague, Lucielle Sprague, Joann Wood, George’s Restaurant, Joann Podres, Lisa Sprague, Francis Maloney, Celotti’s Wines & Spirits, Linda Fleming, Glens Falls National Bank and Trust, Gene’s Michigan Stand, Mr. Sarlin (Rich) Napier, Mr. James Brooks, Mr. John Sharkey, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Breed, Mr. Michael J. and Allison I. Sharrow, Salerno Brothers, Mrs. Joan Harland, Mr. John Sweet, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Harris, Claudia Young, Avis S. Kedmenec, Becky Gilbo, Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, Mr. Phil Tucker, Frances L. Driscoll, Daniel C. Lee and Christine Paque-

tte-Lee, Frances L. Driscoll and Timothy J. Glebus.

Podres did the unthinkable — he led the Brooklyn Dodgers past the New York Yankees for their one and only World Series championship.

The Witherbee native was named the 1955 World Series Most Valuable Player after winning two games, including the decisive seventh game, 2-0. He was also Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year that season.

Podres ended a legendary sports drought.

The Dodgers had lost the World Series to their cross-town rival Yankees five straight times. The day after the final game the New York Post published a full-page photo of the Dodger ace with the headline: PODRES! (Need We Say More?).

As the story goes, Podres told his teammates to get him just one run and the Dodgers would win Game 7. They got him two, and the franchise celebrated its first and only championship while playing in Brooklyn.

The celebration in Brooklyn following the World Series victory was said to be greater than at the end of World War II. Moriah celebrated, too. Shortly after winning the World Series, Podres returned home for a huge parade and celebration.

Podres pitched 15 years in the major leagues with the Dodgers, Padres and Tigers, posting a 148-116 record with 3.67 earned run average. The southpaw appeared in three All-Star Games and was 4-1 in World Series play (1953, 1955, 1959 and 1963) with a 2.11 ERA. Podres also served as a pitching coach when he was older, helping develop Frank Viola when he was with the Minnesota Twins

A sign will be erected this spring at the south entrance to Port Henry honoring Johnny Podres, the 1955 World Series Most Valuable Player and native son. and Cy Young winner and three-time World Series champion Curt Schilling when he was on the Philadelphia Phillies staff.

In 2005 Podres was grand marshall of the Moriah Labor Day parade as the community celebrated the 50th anniversary of him being named World Series MVP.

Social Services seeks to help ACAP program

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Department of Social Services may be coming to the rescue of the Moriah and Willsboro after-school programs.

Members of the county’s Human Services Committee passed a resolution Feb. 13 to use $31,000 in reserve funds from the Social Services budget to help pay for the Adirondack Community Action Programs’ (ACAP) after-school programs. The money would fund the program through the end of the school year in Moriah and Willsboro.

The proposal will now go before the county Ways and Means Committee for consideration.

The program lost its state funding recently, and county officials have since been seeking ways to help the program so it does not have to shut down.

“It is from a prior year expense that would be used to cover the expenses for the rest of the year for those two programs,” Social Services Director John O’Neill said. “It’s money that we had in reserve, and I talked with Dan (Palmer,

county manager) about using it in this way.”

“The amount is what John had set aside for some previous claims that we had talked about,” Palmer said. “This will cover through the end of this year. If you wanted to do more besides that, there is nothing short of the tax levy where you could get the funds from.”

The move was welcome news for ACAP Executive Director Alan Jones and Marjorie Zmijewski, program manager.

“We don’t want a situation where the children are without care for the next three months,” Jones said.

The five-year funding contract for the Moriah and Willsboro after-school programs was given a six-month extension earlier in the year, but was not given another, forcing ACAP to either find alternative funding or close the programs down.

Zmijewski said the program tries to get its information out to as many people as it can.

“We will send educational materials out to let people know about the programs that we provide in the communities that we serve,” Zmijewski said, adding that they use those materials as a lobbying tool in Albany.

Members of the committee passed the resolution and added their beliefs that the state should put the funding back.

“It is a shame that the state does not realize how important this program is,” County Chairman Randall “Randy” Douglas of Jay said.

“It’s a shame that they would grant the extension and then allow the funding to stop mid-year,” Lewis Supervisor David Blades said.

“It’s alright to say that you want no new taxes at the state level, but if you do that, you can’t cut services to the counties that they really need,” Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said.

Jones said while they were appreciative of the help from the county, they were already looking ahead to the next school year and a funding source for the programs affected.

“We are working very hard to try and get funding for these two schools in the fall,” Jones said.

After-school programs in Elizabethtown and Westport are under a funding contract through 2014, but Jones said that the state could actually pull funding at any time, if they opt to.

Riparian Repairs R

ecent reports indicate Essex County recently received significant funding from a combination of state and federal sources to pay for the removal of debris, and the restoration of a many local river and stream corridors.

Fortunately, the Department of Transportation was quick to promptly repair the local highways following recent floods, however it is the waterways that attract a major portion of the region’s visitors. The tourism industry relies on an abundance of easily accessible, clean, fresh, free-flowing waters to attract anglers, paddlers, birders and other users.

The NYSDEC has already committed over $9 million towards the effort, and further funding is expected. Restoration efforts will focus on the removal of debris, which includes far more than just sticks and stones, as well as installation of weirs, dredging of rivers channels, riverbank plantings and the repair or replacement of several bridges.

It is astounding to realize the extent of the damage, and to discover the amount of material that must be removed from both the riverbeds, and the adjacent riverbanks.

While much of the debris consists of logs, rocks, roots and such, there is also a significant degree of manmade material ranging from washing machines to vinyl siding, tin roofs to tarmac. There are over 10,000 cubic yards of debris awaiting removal at just nine locations, for which funding has already been received.

When the river ice breaks up in the spring, I expect there will be more damage discovered, including large logjams, and significant sections of channels and riverbanks that will require restoration. Our abundance of clean, free flowing, freshwater is as important to Essex County’s tourism industry as the very mountains the waters flow out of.

Although the opening day of trout season remains over a month away, visiting anglers are already in the process of planning trips for the upcoming season. I have already fielded numerous inquiries regarding the condition of our local fisheries. Paddlers and anglers want to know what to expect, as well as what they can do. My advice is always, “Come see it for yourself.”

While the floods were certainly devastating, nature is restorative by nature. The land and the waters will gradually repair whatever damage has been done to the habitat.

Fish and furbearers such as beaver, otter and muskrat, will continue to exist, as birds including eagles, herons, and kingfishers return to their familiar haunts.

Despite the fact that two, 500 year floods ravaged the region in less than six months time, the waterways will quickly recover. Some swimming holes may have filled in, and certain river channels have been scoured, filled or

rerouted. But in the end, the majority of our rivers and streams will continue to flow, and only those who knew them well, will be able to recognize any difference.

Toubles far worse than a flood Unfortunately, trouble far greater than a 500 year flood now loom over regional waters. Although the threat is natural, it was obviously made by man and it has the potential to drastically tip the balance and integrity of historic trout fisheries all across the Adirondacks.

Recently, NYSDEC fisheries biologists have discovered the presence of ‘crappie’ in Raquette Lake. Crappies, a non- native species, are now in the lake, and will eventually spread to the surrounding watershed. However, it is likely the damage will not be confined to a single lake, as the non-native species will be able to migrate upstream and downstream throughout the entire Raquette watershed. It’s only a matter of time before they become established in the Fulton Chain, Forked Lake, Long Lake, Tupper Lake and beyond.

DEC personnel believe the crappie were likely introduced by what has often been described as an amateur, ‘bait bucket biologist’. I prefer a more descriptive term, but it can’t be printed in a family newspaper. Whoever ’s responsible for introducing crappie into Raquette Lake should recognize that they may have unleashed the Adirondack’s most troublesome fish into the entire Raquette River watershed. It will be impossible to eradicate them.

Smallmouth bass were dumped into the same lake, back in the 1872. However, at the time, the person responsible for their introduction into Raquette Lake was Seth Greene, a fish culturist working for the NYS Fish Commission. A decade earlier, Gov. Horatio Seymour had instructed the Commission to begin stocking bass throughout the state, as trout fisheries were showing signs of depletion.

Greene was just doing as he was told. He harvested bass for stocking from the locks of the old Erie Canal, and then transported the fish throughout the state, via a refrigerated railroad boxcar of his own invention.

On a cold, January morning in 1876, NYS Fish Commission workers cut a hole in the ice and released 60 black bass and 5,000 whitefish into the waters of Raquette Lake.

In an effort to ensure the stocked bass would be able to establish a viable population in the big lake, Greene admonished anglers to practice a primitive catch and release,

The non-native fish ‘crappie’ have been discovered in Raquette Lake, and will most likely establish itself throughout the surrounding watershed. pleading, “If anyone should catch these fish, please put them back.”

Greene need not have worried. Bass quickly adjusted to the lake, and within a just a few years, specimens were being caught as far downstream as Colton. Greene believed bass had a unique adaptability to trout waters, since the two species spawn during opposite seasons of the year.

However, bass are very aggressive feeders and they rarely coexist with brook trout. However, they have proven to do so in Raquette Lake, which produced a NY State Record brook trout as recently as June 7, 2009 when Tom Yacovella of Utica landed a 5 lb., 4½ oz. specimen from Raquette Lake. Lake trout still thrive in the same waters. In fact, the DEC continues to harvest lake trout eggs from the lake to supplement the state hatchery system.

Crappie may change all matter of things. They are voracious feeders, and prolific breeders, which also spawn in shallow waters during the spring. A typical female Crappie may produce upwards of 150,000 eggs, but 20,000 to 60,000 eggs are more the rule. They will prey heavily on the lake’s established forage base of minnows and crayfish, and feast on the trout fry.

Lake Trout grow very slowly, and often don't mature until they are 8-10 years of age. The female lays an average of 400-1,200 eggs which take nearly four months to hatch.

Brook trout females produce between 100 – 400 eggs in late autumn, which they deposit in shallow water beds.

These figures should provide an indication of the unfair competition poised by mixing trout and crappie in the same waters. Although crappies are highly regarded as table fare, there are few species which can compare with trout in the culinary sense. There are no other fish species as iconic of Adirondack waters as the brookie.

Whoever was responsible for dumping crappie into the Raquette, I sure wish they would step forward and fess up. I know a lot of devoted trout anglers who’d enjoy an opportunity to shake hands with their windpipe, and I’d like to be the first in line.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency will pay 75 percent of the new bridge construction, LaVigne said, while New York State and Essex County will each pay 12.5 percent.

The new bridge will be welcomed, Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said.

“It’s been a huge inconvenience for the people who live on the other side of that bridge,” Scozzafava said. “It’s also been a concern for emergency services since there’s no direct way to reach those people right now.”

There are four families living on the north side of the Titus Road Bridge, but Scozzafava noted the roadway is well traveled.

“I’ll be glad when that bridge is replaced,” Scozzafava said.

Engineers are also designing a new bridge to replace the Moriah Center Bridge on Plank Road, LaVigne said.

That bridge is now open to traffic, but has been flagged as “severely deteriorated” by state inspectors.

The Moriah Center Bridge, which spans Mill Brook, was built in 1920. It had major repairs in 1987.

LaVigne said work on the bridge will take place in 2013 and is expected to take about three months.

As part of the project Essex County is seeking an easement to use property east of the present bridge to erect a one-lane temporary span with a signal light to keep traffic moving during the construction.

The new Moriah Center Bridge is expected to cost about $1.7 million. The federal Highway and Bridge Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Project will pay for 80 percent of the work, LaVigne said. New York State will pay 15 percent of the cost and Essex County will pay the remaining 5 percent.

The Moriah Center Bridge is the most-heavily traveled span in the county, handling more vehicles a day than the Champlain Bridge that connects New York and Vermont.

“The daily average traffic across the (Moriah Center) bridge is more than 4,000 cars a day,” LaVigne said. “It peaks at about 6,000 a day.”

That’s no surprise to Scozzafava.

“We have a lot of people who use that bridge to get to work at the (Moriah Shock) prison and to Elizabethtown (the county seat,” he said. “There are two hamlets with about 3,000 people living north of the bridge and another 2,000 people south of the bridge in Port Henry. That’s a busy area.”

Scozzafava noted four roads — Plank Road, Witherbee Road, Moriah Road and Ensign Pond Road — intersect at the bridge.

“The logistics of replacing that bridge while maintaining a flow of traffic are challenging,” the supervisor said.

Placing a temporary span at the site while the Moriah Center Bridge is being replaced is crucial, Scozzafava said.

“If you simply close that bridge it would be devastating to the people who use it and the businesses in the area,” he said.

Sunday, Feb. 26 TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Elks Lodge will serve a “cooked to order breakfast” 7 to 10:30 a.m. Proceeds to benefit Elks charities.

Monday, Feb. 27 SCHROON LAKE — The Town of Schroon Lions Club will host an open house at 6:30 p.m. at Decesare’s Pizza on Route 9. For more about Lions Clubs, go online at www.lionsclubs.org TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga public safety committee meeting, 5 p.m., Community Building.
