T I C O N D E R O G A — To p student performers from around the North Country gathered in Ticonderoga for the annual All County Music Festival Feb. 16.

About 230 musicians from 12 schools took part in a day of rehearsals before an evening concert for the public. The event included a mixed chorus, a women’s chorus, a concert band and a jazz band.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for us to be the host this year,” said Michael Iturrino, a Ticonderoga High School music teacher. “We try to give our kids every chance to excel at all levels of music and this is a wonderful chance to collaborate with students from other schools.

It’s a chance to see how other schools do things and compare notes.”

Iturrino served as the All County co-chairman this season along with Jolene Harrigan, another Ti High music teacher.

Taking part in the concert were students from Ticonderoga, AuSable Valley, Elizabethtown-Lewis, Keene, Lake Placid, Long Lake, Moriah, Newcomb, Saranac

Ti auditorium renovation eyed Old photos needed

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Nearly a century old, the Ticonderoga High School auditorium needs a face lift.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to restore this historic landmark to its original grandeur?” asked Janet Mallon, a Ti Middle School teacher who is organizing an effort to restore the facility.

Ticonderoga High School was built in 1928-1930. It is a threestory, masonry neo-Georgian style building with a slate roof, concrete foundation and brick walls. It features a semi-circular portico with Corinthian order columns and a balustrade and a copper polygonal cupola.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

While there have been renovation and expansion projects at the school, the auditorium has remained virtually untouched since it was constructed.

“The lighting is dim; the slate blue paint sucks the light and life out of the ambiance,” Mallon said. “Some might not even realize that the light fixtures in the balcony are original. Sometimes the acoustics are not so great; the ventilation and temperature controls need updating; and the seats are not very comfortable.”

Mallon said any renovation project will be financed through donations and grants.

“This project will be funded through grants and donations, not through tax dollars,” she stressed.

The first step is determining the cost. To that end Mallon is seeking old photos that can be shared with an architect.

“I am in the process of getting a quote to have the Ticondero-

ga High School auditorium historically renovated to the beauty of the 1930s, but with the technical and comfort advantages of today,” Mallon explained. “One of the first steps to take is to get some photographs of the auditorium audience section and stage. I do not have any old photos of the high school auditorium and I desperately need some to show the architect. The architect can then proceed to come up with a quote for the project.”

People with old photos of the auditorium are asked to contact Mallon at Ticonderoga Middle School.

John McDonald, Ticonderoga Central School superintendent, said he and Mallon have met with an architect and had preliminary discussions on a possible project.

“Janet and I met with a historic preservation architect,” McDonald said. “He was very impressed with the facility and even commented how he could not believe a community this size would build such a great venue.”

Any renovation must retain the character of the original auditorium, McDonald stressed.

“The cost is extensive as we would need to address windows, paint, seating, air conditioning, asbestos, curtains, lighting,” he said. “All must be done in keeping with the integrity of the original design as we are on the National Historic Registry.”

The auditorium restoration project may be difficult and expensive, but Mallon believes it’s a worthwhile project.

“School groups as well as community groups could use it all year round,” Mallon said. “Once restored, the auditorium might even be a drawing card for big name performers to come to our town. Ticonderoga does not have a bigger gathering spot for performances and community meetings.”

The school district completed a $23.8 million building and renovation project in 2010. The project was proposed following a facilities study by a group of district residents in 2006-07.

The Ticonderoga High School auditorium hosts concerts, plays, ceremonies and other activities throughout the year. There are discussions about renovating the venue.

That project included construction of a three-floor addition on the Amherst Avenue side of the high school to house technology, music and art instruction; moving the principal’s office from the second floor to space near the building’s front door; building a secure vestibule at the school entrance; moving the district office from a separate building on Amherst Avenue into the school; moving the guidance office; expanding the library; and more. The project also addressed issues at Ticonderoga Middle School and Ti Elementary School.

The project did not address the auditorium.

“If I am remembering correctly, there was mention of the auditorium when discussing our facility improvements, however, given the other priorities dealing with safety and security and the cost implications it was not given a high priority,” McDonald said. “I guess this demonstrates how needy we were and how much more is out there.”

Samuel Shelmidine played the role of the beast in the Ticonderoga Middle School production of “Beauty and the Beast.”

TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga Middle School students presented a “tale as old as time” as their annual musical drama Feb. 14 and 15.

“Beauty and the Beast” was performed under the direction of music teacher Andre Gordon.

Based on the Disney Academy Award winning animated feature, the stage version included songs written by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice for the movie.

“Beauty and the Beast” tells the story of Belle, a young French girl, who meet a “beast.” When Belle’s father Maurice becomes lost in the woods on the way to the fair, he seeks shelter in an old castle to find that the master of the castle is a horrible beast who takes him captive. Belle must then give up her freedom to save her father ’s life.

Belle helps transform the “beast” back into a handsome prince.

The play has been on Broadway the past 13 years.

Samuel Shelmidine played the beast and Casey Raymond portrayed Belle in the Ticonderoga production.

Fort Ti to offer scouting program Cub, Boy Scouts to become soldiers TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga has unveiled a new program specifically designed for visiting Cub Scout and Boy Scout groups during the 2012 season.

“Planting the Tree of Liberty: the Beginnings of the Continental Army at Fort Ticonderoga,” will allow scouts to participate in a program based on the daily routine of soldiers at the fort in the weeks following its capture from the British by Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold in the spring and early summer of 1775.

During the two-and-a-half-hour program, scouts form a platoon of soldiers and go through a typical soldier ’s day at the fort. In addition to learning about what soldiers ate and where they slept, scouts will take part in fatigue duty (work details) alongside the fort’s interpretive staff, witness a musket demonstration, be drilled in formation tactics and help build a brush shelter, using tools under supervision.

“Visiting scout groups account for a significant portion of our annual group visits,” noted Director of Education Rich Strum. “This new program meets a need for a more in-depth opportunity for scouts during their Fort Ticonderoga experience.”

This program is available by advance reservation most days during the 2012 season (May 18-Oct. 18) and by special arrangement other times of the year.

For more information go online at www.fort-ticonderoga.org.

Fort Ticonderoga has unveiled a new program specifically designed for visiting Cub Scout and Boy Scout groups during the 2012 season.

Lake steward report issued; LGA pleased TICONDEROGA — The Lake George Association has released findings from the 2011 lake steward program. It is available for download from the LGA website: www.lakegeorgeassociation.o rg Since 2006, lake stewards have inspected boats at high traffic launches around the Lake and have educated boaters about invasive species spread prevention. The LGA’s 2011 report summarizes the data collected last year, and includes the number of boats inspected, the total number of animal and plant specimens removed, the identity and quantity of invasive species found, and the last waterbody each boat visited prior to entering Lake George.

Over the years the program has adapted; data and specimens are collected from boats both launching into and leaving the Lake. The data gathered helps define how invasive species are spread, and the pathways that exist between other regional waterways and Lake George.

The program seeks to protect the lake from the introduction and spread of invasive species that could negatively alter the Lake’s ecosystem, shoreline property values, and the region’s tourism-driven economy.

In 2011, lake stewards were posted at six launches around Lake George — Norowal Marina, Mossy Point, Hague Town Beach, Rogers Rock, Dunham’s Bay and Million Dollar Beach.

During the 2011 season, the Lake George lake stewards interacted with 8,593 boats:

— Within two weeks of their launch in Lake George, boaters had visited 193 unique waterbodies located in 15 different states.

— Other than Lake George itself, the next most frequently visited waterbody was the Hudson River, a waterbody with 91 different invasive species; 100 boats inspected had been in the Hudson within two weeks prior to launch in Lake George.

— Lake stewards collected 171 aquatic organism samples from 125 boats and trailers, and identified 87 samples to be invasive species.

— Four different species were found: Eurasian watermilfoil, curly-leaf pondweed, water chestnut and zebra mussels.

— 75 percent of boaters reported taking spread prevention methods before launching in the lake.

“As members of the Lake George Park Commission de-

liberate over mandatory boat inspections, and how best to protect Lake George from aquatic invasives, the LGA’s lake stewards program reports have proven invaluable,” said Walt Lender of Ticonderoga, LGA executive director.

The 2011 program was funded by the Lake George Park Commission ($35,000) and the Lake Champlain Basin Program ($25,000), with additional funding coming from the LGA’s Helen V. Froehlich Foundation grant awards.

Boat washing plan needs more scrutiny

N

o one would argue that efforts should be taken to keep Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) out of the Queen of American Lakes.

No one would argue that the introduction of these species is detrimental to the ecosystem, to water quality, to intakes and pipes, or that it costs millions to eradicate them once introduced.

No one would argue that the lake steward program, overseen by the Lake George Association, has been a success, or that legislation making it illegal to introduce invasive species into Lake George was ill-conceived.

All of that makes perfect sense.

What doesn’t make sense is the agenda of a minority of the Lake George Park Commission whose goal seems to be gating every boat launch and placing uniformed invasive species police in place to inspect every vessel.

What doesn’t make sense is to punish the boaters who cannot afford a pricey dock slip yet still want to enjoy this breathtaking lake as often as those who can.

What doesn’t make sense is to drive away the area’s life-blood in the form of tourists, fishermen and day-trippers with expensive boat washing fees and long lines when they can easily travel to other communities to spend their money without the headaches.

Yet that is what we see materializing should the boat washing plan forge ahead as proposed by the Committee on Invasive Species Spread Prevention — a three-man subset of the Lake George Park Commission.

The group has been lobbying hard with local officials and environmental groups for a full scale, lake-wide boat inspection and washing program that would place sentries at boat launches, and send boats suspected of contamination to a central washing facility, where they would be hosed down with 140-degree water.

At an average of $30 a pop.

In theory, the idea of asking transient boaters to wash their boats before launching in Lake George is a good one. It has been the objective of the LGA’s lake steward program since its inception.

But the plan currently on the table seems to evoke more questions than provide answers.

For example — when would the launches be open to the public? Fishermen like to get an early start, others like to watch the Thursday night fireworks downtown. Would launches be open at these times?

And how about the mandatory two-week drying period required after a boat is pulled from the water. If you’re lucky, we get about a

three-month boating season in these parts. If you have to wait two weeks between launches, that would allow about six times out without a $30 washdown.

It is expensive enough for those who live off the lake to access it — asking them to fork over $30 several times a year is simply not practical.

The lake was put here for everyone to enjoy.

Let’s keep it that way.

At the same time, this system would rely on the word of the person launching the boat.

If faced with the decision of telling a little white lie to the 21-year-old sunburned sentry or sitting in an hour-long line to pay $30 for a boat scrubbing, how do you think many will answer?

The plan might be less discriminatory and the lake might be better protected by just mandating that all boats be washed down.

Then there’s the cost of operation. The state Department of Environmental Conservation — with its ever-shrinking budget —doesn’t seem to want to touch this one with a 10-foot pole.

But the vast majority of launches dotting the lake are private. Should these businesses be required to pick up the cost of overseeing the program?

Who will pay for the $250,000 wash stations?

The state? You’d have a better chance of taking up a collection among waterfront owners.

And, finally, will all the expense and extra hassle truly keep invasives from Lake George?

Can anyone actually say with certainty if any of this will have a benefit at a reasonable cost?

The answer, of course, is no.

Invasives can be introduced from a bait bucket, from migrant waterfowl, on the bottoms of cartop boats and unemptied bilges.

Does that mean the Park Commission should ignore the threat?

Absolutely not.

But much more research needs to be done before commissioners pull the trigger on a plan that seems to have been contrived in backroom secrecy with input from a select few.

For a plan of this magnitude to be accepted, all the stakeholders need to be involved in the process and a referendum may be in order.

Only then will the majority support it and get behind the effort of keeping invasives from our waters.

Think 4th of July in Schroon To the Times of Ti:

Health care not a Constitutional issue To the Times of Ti:

I know there is still snow on the ground and more winter to come, but it really is time to think summer. I am again chairing the 4th of July Parade and Festivities and once again, asking for donations to come in early so we can secure all the bands, and other ongoing activities which make our town's celebration so much fun!

Everyone was so wonderful last year and the money just started coming in and it enabled me to put on the biggest parade with more activates than we've ever had, with, of course, the help of many other people. So, any amount you can afford to donate in this slow economy would be greatly appreciated. Checks should be made payable to the "4th of July parade fund" and mailed to PO Box 614, Schroon Lake,N.Y.12870.

Also, we are looking for parade participants in all categories, especially "old or antique" vehicles and horses/animals. It would be very helpful if you could get your entries in early. Please remember to write a bio on your parade entry form. Donation letters will be going out in the next couple of weeks that will have a parade entry/bio form attached. Kate Huston, Chairperson can be reached at 518-5329745 or info@newyorktroutfishing.com for registration and/or further information.

It really isn't too early to think parade and fireworks!

Kate Huston, Schroon Lake

To the Times of Ti:

After reading the letter from Jeff MacMakin titled “Constitution at risk” I came away wondering if the real reason for the letter was to attack our President and not to protect our Constitution. Perhaps Mr. MacMakin had better health care 40 years ago but I surely didn’t. There are many things our Constitution does not provide for but times have changed and America has grown from a few Colonies with a population of around 5 million to a present day population of 310 million.

Our forefathers were men of vision but they were also just men. Thank God they made provisions for changes by amending or we would still have slavery and women wouldn’t be able to vote. Health care is not a Constitutional issue it is something that is needed to protect the citizens of our Country. Without Medicare we would have millions of seniors homeless because of the cost of health care.

The same goes for Social Security that also wasn’t provided for in our Constitution. As America grows the needs of its people change and we must address them. Most Americans know we must do something to bring down the cost of Medicare and stop the drain on Social Security. At the same time many who are on Medicare as I am, try to find fault with what President Obama has proposed for those not covered by it. This past year I was one of thousands whose drug cost took them into the “Doughnut Hole.” I thank God for what some call “Obamacare” as it cut in half my “out-of-pocket” drug cost. If it were not in force I would have had to pay around $2,000 more for my needed drugs.

I have no idea where or what Mr. MacMakin did to make his living but millions of Americans worked in jobs where they didn’t receive health care after retirement. The fact is that we have a population who are not eligible for programs such as Medicare and they need help. We are the greatest Country the world has ever seen and we can make health care work and keep families from bankruptcy.

If in fact the health care law is in violation of our 10th amendment then it is time to change the amendment. Our Constitution was written with the knowledge that it would need changes and the amendment process was well thought out. I will agree with Mr. MacMakin with regard to our present Congress being a mockery and not doing their job.

I disagree with respect to his assault on the health care law and linking it to our Constitution.

Aboard the U.S.S. Bataan To the Times of Ti: Sixty seven years ago March 29, 1945, I witnessed one of the U.S. Navy’s worst wartime disasters. The Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Franklin was attacked by Japanese planes. I was on board the U.S.S. Bataan which is also an aircraft carrier. We were on the port side of the U.S.S. Franklin. Over 900 men were killed. The enemy kept coming trying to sink the Franklin, but did not.

We were busy that complete day.

Aboard ships, everyone has a job and everyone has a battle station. My battle job was passing ammunition to the gun turrets. I still keep in touch with people who were in the same battle. I have a cruise book that shows pictures of the battle. If anyone from the North Country was in the same group, I would like to hear from you. We finally had received a hit and had to return to the states for repairs. After receiving the repairs, we were sent back to the battle stations. We were in Tokyo Bay for the signing of the end of the war. We went directly to Me In Yoh City and received a large welcome.

The Crown Point Central School elementary winter concert will be Thursday, March 1, at 7 p.m. Students in grades 4 – 6 students will perform under the direction of Jeris French. Performers will include, from left, Emily Harmon, Swade Potter, Emily Russell and Shelbie DuShane. The concert will be preceded by the sixth grade spaghetti dinner starting at 5 p.m. Cost for the dinner is $7 for adults and $5 for children age 3 and older.

The Ticonderoga Food Pantry wishes to extend since thanks to the organizers and organizations who conducted the recent WinterFest! Donations to the pantry were requested, and the volunteers of the pantry appreciate this effort, most sincerely.

Also, thanks are extended to the kindergarten classes (Mrs. Ashline, Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Wright and Mr. Porter) as they celebrated 100 days of school with a food drive!

In addition to supplying items for the pantry, fund drives such as these remind folks the pantry is available to assist those who might need help during these most difficult time.

In 2011 the Ticonderoga Food Pantry, helped 1,241 households (741 were children and 649 were senior citizens). The dedicated pantry volunteers logged 2,872.5 hours as registered with RSVP, as well as other volunteers giving many more hours to help.

As a reminder: the pantry is open from 11 until noon, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. First time visitors need proof of residency for the once per month visits.

Fire company welcomes members To the Times of Ti: At our most recent meeting, the Hague Volunteer Fire Department inducted Brandy Lyn Lastowski, Jonathon Yerdon and Teresa Medina as members, with Harley Trudeau and Karney Manning as junior members. We welcome them all to our ranks.

The regional head of Mountain Lakes Services addressed our EMS members on Feb. 9 and various training of EMS calls were handed out at that time. Also, the district EMS symposium, referred to in our last article, and attended by several of our members was considered a huge success.

In January, there were nine fire calls and three EMS calls using 68 man hours. A radio and siren check occurred on Feb. 7, with an equipment check following.

While it does not look as though our end of Lake George will likely freeze this winter, some bays and nearby ponds certainly will, so we urge that anyone venturing out on frozen ice surfaces use extra precaution, especially this year of unseasonable conditions. With warm days and cold nights of late, watch out for icy patches on the roads We are happy with the addition of so many new young members to our department, but our doors are open to more, so if you have an interest, contact any active fireman for information on joining us.

We hope that when this issue hits the streets that everyone will have enjoyed another safe and wonderful Hague Winter Weekend.

Alexander from page 6 the table. What’s’ worse is you’ll go out in the evening for dinner with the wife and see couples not conversing with each other but both looking longingly into their device screen, thumbing away, perhaps even to each other.

I’m all for advancing technology, but I’m just not certain we aren’t on the slippery slope with cute little devices.

You might disagree, but ask yourself these questions and then tell me we aren’t at least starting to slip a little on that slope: * Have you spent more on accessories than on your mobile unit? * Do you have over 30 apps installed and use them all? * Do you have alarms telling you when to do everything in your life? * Do you read about your phone on your phone? * Have you cut back on necessities to afford your month mobile bill? * Have you forgot your mobile and felt withdrawal symptoms all day until you’re reunited? * Do you meet people who use the same mobile as you, and you can only talk about the device? * Have you felt that sinking feeling of panic when you touch your pocket/purse and it’s gone? * It accompanies you to the bathroom?

Trial program mulled for L.G. boat disinfection concept

Schroon Lake Lions Club President David Harder greets the club mascot who was escorted to town by Lion Roger Friedman. The Lions will host an open house Monday, Feb. 27, at 6:30 p.m. at Decesare’s Pizza on Route 9.

Schroon Lake from page 1 with 100 percent of all proceeds going back into community projects.

Information on the local Lions is available online at http://eclubhouse.org/sites/schroon/ Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service club organization. It has 1.35 million members in more than 45,000 clubs in more than 206 countries and geographic areas.

Founded in 1917, Lions are best known for fighting blindness, but also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects — including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all.

Lions community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring.

Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than $700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one non-governmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.

The Lions motto is “We Serve.”

LAKE GEORGE — Prompted by lobbying from environmentalists and resolutions enacted by local municipalities, members of the Lake George Park Commission are now taking steps toward making their proposed boat inspection and decontamination law a reality.

Feb. 3, the Commission’s Invasives Species Spread Prevention Committee discussed establishing a trial boat inspection and vessel disinfection program within several months at Norowal Marina.

While the trial program features voluntary compliance, the proposed law would require all boats, before they are launched on Lake George, to be thoroughly inspected — and if deemed necessary — sent to a vesselwashing station to be decontaminated.

Already, the Park Commission has a law in place that prohibits placing a boat in Lake George that bears any invasive species — but since the law doesn’t require every boat to be inspected, it doesn’t necessarily have any impact on protecting the lake, environmentalists have argued. Also, because it includes no comprehensive inspection program nor remedial requirements, the law has little practical effect.

Environmental experts have noted that to protect Lake George from widespread infestation and degradation, action is needed.

The fast spread of invasive plants and mussels in Lake Tahoe and Lake Mead have shown that it is far easier and 50 to 100 times cheaper to prevent invasives from taking hold in a lake versus trying to combat their

propagation once they’ve become established.

The Lake George Association has been conducting a voluntary boat inspection program for two years.

During summer 2011, the LGA’s “Lake Stewards” at six boat launches inspected 8,584 boats for invasive species, removed suspicious specimens from 52 boats prior to launch, and educated over 19,000 people about the threats of invasive species.

Both the Lake George Village Board and the Lake George Town Board have passed resolutions in support of a law requiring inspections of all boats placed in Lake George for the presence of invasive species, and mandatory decontamination by washing, if necessary.

The law would require marinas and other private boat launch owners and homeowners’ associations to make sure all boats comply with the process.

But the state Department of Environmental Conservation has yet to offer their opinion on mandatory inspection.

Meanwhile, sportsmen’s groups have raised a variety of concerns about the proposed law.

Marina owners have also expressed their concerns about the proposal, citing how it is likely to cause congestion at their facilities and frustrate customers, as well as prompt boaters to seek out other lakes for recreation.

Advocates, Elizabethtown Hospital spread the word about K-2 dangers

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A grass-roots effort to try and curb the sale of synthetic marijuanas like K-2 and Spice are having an effect in the North Country.

Members of a group trying to eliminate the products from local shelves said that education has been a major factor in tackling the problem.

“When they hear about the bad news that is associated with K-2 and synthetic marijuana, they pull it off the shelves,” said Mac MacDevitt, Community Prevention Coordinator with the Prevention Team. “We want to work with our community partners to reduce the availability of it as well as make parents aware of the danger of this substance, as well as support the youth who have taken the lead in fighting for this cause, and I am really surprised that a student-led movement has moved this fast.”

“I have talked to several store owners, and they said that having learned more about K-2, they decide that it is a project that they do not wish to carry,” Arin Burdo, director of the Elizabethtown Social Center, said. ‘We had a informational night at the Social Center Feb. 11, and the primary goal is to inform the parents about this. They need to be active as well in trying to get this off the shelf. Parents need by get information and become more informed because this is a real threat in the community.”

Karen Crowningshield, Assistant Nurse Manager at Elizabethtown Community Hospital, said that the need for education of synthetic marijuana is critical.

“The first I heard anything about this was watching television and hearing about ‘bath salts,’ last year,” Crowningshield said. “I have been talking with people about this, and they have no clue what it is all about. It;s just not that known here as it is in other places, because I have talked with a family from New Jersey who live in a community where they have had two K-2 related deaths recently.”

The synthetic marijuana, know as K-2 or Spice, is a psychoactive herbal and chemical product that can mimic cannabis.

Elizabethtown Community Hospital Emergency Room Technician Brody Hooper and Assistant Nurse Manager Karen Crowningshield both said that the number of ER cases dealing with K-2 and Spice has been on the rise over the past year.

Photo by Keith Lobdell According to a release from the federal Drug Enforcement Agency last year, smokeable herbal products marketed as being “legal” and as providing a marijuana-like high, have become increasingly popular, particularly among teens and young adults.

“These products consist of plant material that has been coated with research chemicals that claim to mimic THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, and are sold at a variety of retail outlets, in head shops, and over the Internet,” the release said. “These chemicals, however, have not been approved by the FDA for human consumption, and there is no oversight of the manufacturing process.”

As the story of synthetic marijuana spreads, those who deal with victims of the substance said the main concern is being able to properly identify the use and treat it.

“We see it more and more,” Crowningshield said. “Last February, we didn’t even know that this was out there, and what makes it worse is that unless there is someone who can tell us that a patient is suffering from the affects of K2, we have no way of knowing and then we are just treating symptoms. No regular medications work on this, so just treating the symptoms is really not helping.”

“I would say that it is fair that we now get a K-2 case in the Emergency Room once every

two weeks,” Brody Hooper, an ElizabethtownLewis junior and Emergency Room Technician at ECH who also is traveling to local schools with a program about the dangers of K-2, said.

“It is most often on weekends, because it is used at parties.”

Crowningshield said that the symptoms of K-2 use range from rapid heart rate to seizures, and can also lead to heart attack.

“We have to give the patient different types of drugs, and if we don’t know it’s K-2, we could be treating something else.”

“It misleads us,” Hooper said. “If we give a treatment and it is not working, we have to wonder what is going on.”

“This substance is made similar to THC, and it has similar affects,” Grant Martin, Clinical Pharmacist at ECH, said. “The problem is in the way that it is made. It is placed in a solvent that is used to then be placed on a type of plant matter. Treatment is not defined because this is not a defined drug. You don’t know what you are counter-acting, so there is a danger that you could make it worse.”

Hooper said that, to complicate matters, no two cases of K-2 use look the same.

“No one is going to be the same based on the makeup of their bodies and the makeup of the substance,” Hooper said. “It is made differently and coated with different chemicals, so you don’t know what is going to happen from one package to the next.”

“When you see a hospital get involved in prevention and education like this, that has to be a huge alarm,” Burdo said. “Parents need to pay attention and watch for any warning signs.

Hooper said that synthetic marijuana is something that he has known about since he was in seventh-grade.

“I was offered some right down on the street by a peer,” Hooper said. “Parents need to be really aware that this is out there because it is something you can buy at a store or online. The fact is, you can’t buy marijuana online, but you can this.”

“A key is listening to see where you children are at with this topic,” MacDevitt said. “Kids are very influenced by what their parents say.”

18 - Times of Ti • Crown Point

February 25, 2012

Ice fishing clinic held in CP CROWN POINT — About 50 people were educated and equipped in ice fishing safety and techniques on Crown Point’s Monitor Bay recently. Most were children accompanied by parents and grandparents.

“We are very pleased with this first turn out and hope to see many more events of this nature on our Lake Champlain shoreline,” said Norm St. Pierre of Norm’s Bait and Tackle.

“These are a good group of guys willing to come out here with all their gear an hour before the event even starts — and for free to boot.”

The ice fishing instructors came with four wheelers, specialized fishing tents, fish finder radar screens, poles, jigs and enough enthusiasm to go around for each child. From different corners of Vermont came James Vladyka from Benson, Les Meyers from Orwell, Scott Blair from Colchester, and Robert Booth from Barre. The Vermont Sportsman Hard Water Tournament Series representatives shared their hope to come back again for the children and for adult events as well.

The event was sponsored by the local Marine Corps League with the help of The Crown Point Chamber.

Crown Point Barbecue Catering was on hand with hot dogs. Crown Point residents volunteered, bringing thermoses of coffee, hot chocolate and baked goods for the event.

Crown Point to seek Monitor Bay bids Retaining wall to be replaced

By Fred Herbst 75890

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point officials hope to complete a Monitor Bay project this spring to avoid possible conflicts with the summer boating season.

The town is ready to go to bid for work to replace a retaining wall in the bay, which is home to the town boat launch and campsite.

“I’d like to see this done this spring so that the heavy amount of boat traffic during the summer won’t be interrupted,” Supervisor Charlie Harrington said. “We have all our per-

The Family of Benjamin Stoddard

mits. We’ve been in contact with the Department of State and the county planning office; we’re all on the same page.”

The project, which will replace a deteriorating wall with a new vinyl barrier, has been approved by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, the Adirondack Park Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Harrington said.

“This process started in 2009 and our permits expire in 2013, so we have to act,” the supervisor said.

When the project planning began in 2009 the estimated cost was $234,000.

Harrington hopes the bids will come in at that level.

“Normally the cost of projects increase with time, so we could be looking at a greater expense,” he said, “but the economy hasn’t been good so may be the costs will still be in line with the original estimates.”

In 2010 Crown Point received a state matching grant for $117,000 for the work. The town will match that amount with labor and materials.

wishes to extend our sincere Thanks to Family and Friends for prayers, cards, flowers, and food during our recent loss.

Also, Ben’s co-workers for their kind words and great memories.

He will be missed by Us All.

May 13, 1947 - Feb. 14, 2012 ELIZABETHTOWN — Elizabeth Hand Wadhams Lawrence passed away peacefully at home on Feb. 14, 2012 from cancer.

She was born on May 13, 1947 in New York City to Elizabeth Hand Wadhams and Richard W. Lawrence, Jr. Shortly thereafter, they moved north to live in her mother ’s family home in Elizabethtown, where she was raised. Growing up in this small town was a profound and formative part of her life, which she greatly appreciated.

Betsy, Stacey, Elizabeth, Aunt Betty Joe, or Beej (as she was known at various times during her life) was a fiercely independent woman, with great strength of character, immense generosity, deep compassion for her fellow man, and a keen thirst for knowledge. She was also a gifted cook, an artist, a singer, and writer, who possessed a serious sardonic wit.

In her youth, Betsy attended the ElizabethtownLewis Central School, graduated from Emma Willard School, and then from St. Lawrence University. Following that, she lived in San Francisco, Moab, Utah, and Orleans, Mass. before moving to Burlington, Vt. in 1977.

Elizabeth was an early employee of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream – managing their first store in the gas station in Burlington. She then co-founded Green Mountain Prevention Projects and the Green Mountain Teen Institute – designated as one of the “Thousand Points of Light” by the first Bush administration. Elizabeth also worked for the Burlington Community Land Trust and the Vermont Council on the Arts. She was a member of the Burlingtonbased a capella group “The Chapped Lips.”

Elizabeth returned to Elizabethtown to care for her father in 1998. Following his death in 2002, she worked with The Housing Assistance Program of Essex County and the Elizabethtown Cemetery Association.

Town of Moriah chamber reorganizes

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The Moriah Chamber of Commerce is reorganizing with hopes of forging an alliance with the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.

Membership in the Moriah chamber has dwindled in recent years, according to Tim Garrison, a chamber member. At the same time two new groups formed in the community — the Moriah Economic Development Group (EDGe) and PH7, a group that focuses on activities in the village of Port Henry.

The Moriah Economic Development Group and PH7 will become committees of the reorganized Moriah chamber, explained Garrison, who is chairman of the Moriah EDGe and a town trustee.

“It’s time we all start working together,” Garrison said of the Moriah groups. “Each group has its place — EDGe is working to develop economic opportunities, PH7 will concentrate on activities in the village and the chamber will work with local businesses. But we can do more if we work together.

“We want to combine our assets and resources,” he added. “We want to be heading in the right direction.”

This is not the first collaboration between the groups. Moriah EDGe, PH7 and the Moriah chamber joined to present Moriahstock, a day-long concert event, last August.

Jack Woods remains Moriah chamber president.

“Jack has done tremendous work for the community for many years,” Garrison said of Woods. “We never want to lose Jack, but we want to give

Jack Woods

Matt Courtright “We serve Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Hague, Moriah and Putnam,” Courtright said.

“We are, in general, available to businesses in those areas who wish to join the Ti chamber,” Courtright said. “We believe a regional approach to marketing our area serves everyone well.”

Courtright has met with members of the Moriah chamber and Moriah EDGe. He also plans future meetings with the Hague and Crown Point chambers.

“We’re always looking for ways to work more closely to help the entire area,” he said. “We want tight, strong relationships with other chambers.”

Like the Ticonderoga chamber, chambers in Moriah, Crown Point and Hague work to plan local events and maintain local websites, Courtright explained.

The difference between Ticonderoga and other local chambers, he said, is that the Ti office is staffed and is available full time to offer business services and answer public inquiries.

“We want to assist the entire area,”

The Moriah Chamber of Commerce is reorganizing to include the Moriah Economic Development Group and PH7 as committees. This is not the first collaboration between the groups. Moriah EDGe, PH7 and the Moriah chamber joined to present Moriahstock, a day-long concert event, last August. him some help.”

Immediate goals of the reorganized Moriah chamber are to increase membership, to improve the annual Champ Day celebration and to make the annual Labor Day festivities bigger and better, Garrison said.

Individual membership in the Moriah chamber costs $20. Family memberships are $30. All Moriah businesses are automatically members of the chamber at no charge.

People interested in being part of the chamber can go online at www.porthenrymoriah.com or can e-mail mcedge2011@hotmail.com.

Information is also available at the Moriah town hall, 14 Park Place, Port Henry.

“The Town of Moriah Chamber of Commerce is actively seeking new members to help shape our commu-

nity now and for our future,” Garrison said. “Be a part of the rebuilding of our village, town and community.

It is time to stand up and be part of the solution.”

Moriah wants to be part of a regional approach to tourism, marketing and economic development, Garrison said. That means working more closely with other chambers — like the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.

“The Ti chamber has greater means to market the area than Moriah does,” Garrison said. “Keeping with a regional approach it makes sense to join our resources together.”

Membership in the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce has always been available to Moriah businesses, according to Matt Courtright, Ti chamber executive director.

Courtright said. “We welcome opportunities to work closely with the chambers in Moriah, Hague and Crown Point.”

Garrison believes strongly in the regional approach to marketing and economic growth. He was recently appointed to the Lake Placid CVB/Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism board of directors.

He joins Sharon Piper, owner of the Schroon Lake Bed and Breakfast, and Beth Hill, executive director at Fort Ticonderoga, on the board.

“We have three representatives from our area on the ROOST board,” Garrison said. “I think that’s a first.

It’s great for our communities to be part of the regional effort.”

The Lake Placid CVB/Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism is the accredited destination marketing organization responsible for promoting the Schroon Lake, Lake Champlain, Whiteface, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid regions to the traveling public via traditional marketing, communications, and by harnessing the power of electronic media.

It operates a main office in Lake Placid and one in Crown Point.

Ticonderoga coach honored by peers

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High School’s bowling coach has been recognized by her col-

leagues.

Donna Fleury, who coaches the Sentinel boys and girls teams, has been named Champlain Valley Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. The award is determined by a vote of the league coaches.

“The other coaches decide who gets this, so I am very honored,” said Fleury, who is in her 11th sea-

son as Ti High coach. “It’s a total shock and surprise. I was thinking Rick Dumas, who was last year ’s coach of the year, would get it again. He is a great coach.”

Dumas is the coach at Northeastern Clinton Central School. He won the inaugural CVAC Coach of the Year Award last season. This is only the second time the confer-

The St. Mary’s School, Ticonderoga, fifth and sixth grade boys basketball team included, back from left, Chandler Barnes, Clayton Spaulding, Riley Manso, Andrew Pelkey, James Burke; front, Brenden Lauzon, Caleb Pike, Nicholas Robarge-Green, Conner LaRock and Zach Spaulding. Tom Pike coaches the club.

ence has named a coach of the year.

Fleury led the Sentinel girls to a 48-16 record this season, just missing the CVAC championship.

NCCS won with a 50-14 mark. The Ti boys went 93-67, finishing fourth in the conference.

The season was highlighted by Jordan McKee’s record-setting effort Jan. 4. McKee rolled a record 750 series as Ti defeated Beekmantown.

McKee’s 750 broke the old CVAC mark of 719, set by AuSable Valley's Savannah Ronfeldt.

McKee fired a 279-234-237-750 for the Sentinels.

Her 279 game tied the CVAC record for high game, which she now shares with Ronfeldt, Saranac’s Hillary Miner, Plattsburgh’s Stacy Steele and Beekmantown’s Ali Munson.

“This season was most unusual because of Jordan's record breaking series,” Fleury said. “It generated a lot of attention for the team.”

Fleury is quick to point out Ticonderoga had other fine bowlers this past season.

“I do have a great bunch of kids,” she said.

The coach of the year is pleased with the 2011-12 season, but is already anxious next season to begin.

“With only two senior boys and two senior girls I hope next year we will be even a better team,” she said.

Donna Fleury Ticonderoga is fortunate to have excellent junior bowling leagues that prepare young keglers for high school competition, Fleury said.

“I think our junior bowling leagues are a good start for a majority of our high school bowlers,” she said. “We have very dedicated people at that level that really help me out. Rob Ballard and Kelly O'Connor devote many hours running our children’s leagues and that is where this all starts.”

This is the first time Fleury has been CVAC Coach of the Year, but it’s not the first time she’s been honored for her bowling accomplishments. She has been named Bowler of the Year by the Glens Falls Bowling Association several times.

An accomplished bowler herself, Fleury has rolled a 824 series.

Skiing the south slopes

which include The Adirondack Nature Conservancy, the NYSDEC, Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) and the Town of Newcomb.

The effort was achieved through the foresight of a dedicated group of enthusiastic preservationists, aided by a politically savvy, Town Supervisor and willing State Officials.

Located at the end of a marvelously maintained, five mile long, carriage road, the camp complex is bordered by the Vanderwhacker Wild Forest and the surrounding High Peaks Wilderness. It overlooks Newcomb Lake, and the stillwaters of Lower Duck Hole. It remains a diamond in the rough, and that is its greatest draw.

This winter, the NYSDEC, AARCH, the Town of Newcomb, and SUNY-ESF's Adirondack Interpretive Center have been hosting special weekends for cross-country skiers and snowshoers to enable to them to visit the Gatelodge and Main Lodge. The events allow visitor to enjoy interpretive tours with AARCH staff, and to warm up at the Artist's Studio before their return trip. The last of the "open house weekends" will be hosted on March 17-18.

Mike Frenette, the camp’s resident caretaker, carpenter and caregiver, informed the visiting press corps that over 200 guests had traveled to the camp over the past weekend. He claimed it was the largest crowd he has ever witnessed, in any season. Without the benefit of Frenette’s fine and friendly care, it is doubtful the camp would still be intact, due to the unrelenting attacks of nature. From shoveling the roofs, to

s the winter season begins to show signs of winding down, visions of an early ice out have begun to dance through my head like sugar-plums on Christmas Eve. Although the ‘winter that wasn’t’ has yet to produce the deep, lush snowfall that skiers dream of; the season has certainly provided some interesting pockets of opportunity.

A recent ski trip through the Route of the Seven Carries, from Paul Smiths to Lake Clear offered a gentle blend of woodland romps and flat ice flings, filled with an interesting assortment of animal tracks which included otter, deer, bobcat and even moose. The cover on the lake ice was ideal for ski skating, and there was plenty of snow in the woods. In the course of a full day’s travel over seven carries and across eight water bodies, I never encountered another traveler.

A few days later, I encountered crowds and challenging ski conditions at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Nordic Ski Center in Lake Placid. Featuring meager snow cover, and an icy, hard packed base, the former Olympic ski trails were in rough shape. I found far less traffic, and much better trail conditions the following day at the Paul Smiths VIC, even though there was a race in progress.

However, the best ski conditions I encountered during a full week of adventuring were found in the village of Newcomb, where I enjoyed a gentle ski over generous snow while taking an interesting journey into Great Camp Santanoni. My visit to the Land of the South-Slope'rs in Newcomb coincided with an official, NYSDEC press event, which was available by invitation only.

Since my editor couldn’t find anyNYSDEC Commissioner Joe Martens stops to check the mileage on the trail to Camp Santanoni. one else to cover the event, I was invited.

Turkey Shoot to be held

Mike Fenoff found this nice 8-pointer dead last week in Elizabethtown, apparently a victim of a vehicle collision. The deer’s antlers were still very much attached to its skull.

A shedding story A

n interesting anomaly seems to be occurring this year with the deer herd in the form of bucks bouncing around in mid February still wearing head gear.

Normally, bucks will have shed their antlers by this time, making way for next year ’s set. It is unusual to see antlers on a deer in mid to late February, but that is exactly what outdoorsmen are reporting and many are attributing it to the warmer than normal temperatures we’ve enjoyed this winter.

I myself saw a nice, high, 6-point behind the house the other day, and my old hunting chum Mike Fenoff stumbled across a dead 8-pointer in Elizabethtown that was showing no sign of shedding its antlers.

“These antlers were not loose at all,” Mike said. “I picked him up by them.”

Senior DEC Wildlife Biologist Ed Reed said that while unusual, a buck still having its horns this time of year is not unheard of. And, he said the milder than normal winter we’ve experienced probably has little to do with the fact that some deer have yet to drop their antlers.

“I really don’t think the weather has had any affect, it is the length of the daylight and a drop in testosterone following the rut that controls it,” Reed said.

The way that daylight affects antler growth is complicated. But, to simplify things, the shorter the day length, the less testosterone produced by a deer.

That’s because the length of a day from sun up to sun down is sensed by a deer ’s eyes, which controls the release of different hormones. One of those hormones controls testosterone.

So, when the days grow shorter in late fall, testosterone levels drop causing a layer of cells between the antler base and the point where it mounts to the head — called the pedicle — to weaken. Eventually, both antlers fall off, a process that normally takes place over the course of a couple weeks.

Deer in the Adirondacks normally shed their antlers in late December or early January, Reed said, but some deer may keep them into February and even March.

Dr. Mickey Hellickson, a biologist with the Quality Deer Management Assoc., said that along with testosterone levels, a deer ’s diet, as well as its age, can also affect when it sheds its antlers.

“A restricted diet has been found to cause bucks to shed their antlers early. It has been suspected that the lack of adequate nutrition somehow affects testosterone output,” Hellickson said.

Also, older-aged bucks are thought to shed their antlers earlier than younger bucks, and more dominant bucks tend to cast their antlers sooner than lower-ranked (subordinate) bucks, he said.

“Older-aged, more dominant bucks probably shed their antlers sooner because of the high energy costs incurred in maintaining a higher dominance rank, such as fighting and chasing,” Hellickson noted.

Like Reed, Hellickson also noted that there is no clear evidence that weather directly affects antler shedding.

But, he did say it is likely that severe winters may cause bucks to shed their antlers earlier, because of the nutritional stress this causes.

Under this hypothesis, a mild winter when food sources are plentiful, like this year, could slow the shedding of antlers, because deer are well nourished and bucks had it relatively easy recuperating from the rut.

Aside from when a deer looses its antlers, one thing about this winter is abundantly clear: The deer herd should benefit from the mild temperatures.

“I expect to see the deer take increase dramatically next year,” Reed said. “I think we’ll see a lot of yearling bucks running around.”

Unsafe buildings and structures may become unsafe by reason of damage by fire, the elements, age, lack of maintenance, or general deterioration. Vacant buildings not properly secured to prevent trespassing or entry also serve as an attractive curiosity and nuisance for young children and others who may be injured therein, as well as a place of congregation by vagrants and transients. An unmaintained, dilapidated, unsafe building may also serve as a place of rodent infestation, thereby creating a health menace to the community. Debris, rubble, or parts of a building left on the ground and not removed constitutes a dangerous, unhealthy and unsightly condition. It is the purpose of this ordinance to insure all buildings, structures, and property within the Town of Schroon comply with the New York State Building, Fire, and Property Maintenance Codes; and to provide for the safety, health, protection, and general welfare of our residents and persons by requiring such unsafe buildings, structures, and property to be repaired, brought into code compliance, or removed/ demolished.
