Workforce training coming to Ticonderoga

This Week IN TICONDEROGA

Revitalization Alliance announces plans

By Fred Herbst

‘Love Letters’ will be presented by Ti Festival Guild.

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance has developed a plan to prepare potential workers for local jobs.

The alliance has announced it will offer National Workforce Readiness Credential training locally and that it has reached an agreement with North Country Community College to offer expanded technical courses at its Ticonderoga campus.

“In October 2012 the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance announced that it had convened a group to focus on employment opportunities in the Ticonderoga area,” said Chattie Van Wert, alliance director. “Initially called ‘the curriculum meetings,’ these gatherings brought together area employers, school leaders and North Country agency heads to talk about ways to better meet employers’ needs by adjusting curriculum in the local schools.

“Just over four months later, the group has been able to assess a number of disconnects between the needs of employers and the

PORT HENRY — What is a eight letter, 11 point word for literacy? The answer is Scrabble.

The Literacy Volunteers of Essex/ Franklin Counties will hold its Winter Scrabble Tournament and Scrabble Day on Saturday, March 2, at Moriah Central School in Port Henry.

There will also be a tournament in Saranac Lake

for adult literacy and raise awareness for the group.

“We really like holding this event and what better way to promote literacy than with a game that has been doing that for years,” Burke said. “We wanted to have a Scrabble Day as opposed to two tournaments on different days, just hoping to hold an event in each county we serve and spread the awareness that we are here and we are here for the people in our communities.”

that day.

The tournaments will begin at 12:30 p.m. with registration and the first of three games will begin at 1 p.m.

“Scrabble is a game a lot of people don’t pick up as much anymore, everyone plays Words With Friends on their phones even though its the same thing,” said Maria Burke, director of the Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties.

The literacy group has been holding Scrabble Tournaments throughout its coverage region of over 3,000 miles and two counties since 2004.

Ti library gains new exhibit

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Visitors to the Black Watch Memorial Library in Ticonderoga often ask how the building got its name.

The answer now greets people as they enter.

A model of the Battle of Carillon has been placed at the Carnegie Street entrance to the library. It was during the battle the famed Black Watch Regiment was decimated.

“I think it makes sense to honor the Black Watch in this way,” said Steve Boyce, library trustee. “We are the Black Watch Memorial Library.”

The model was created by Denise Huestis, who also made 38 models that are on exhibit at the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum.

“The library board approached Denise and she graciously accepted the challenge,” John McDonald Sr., library trustee, said. “She did a wonderful job. We’re very pleased.”

Approximately four feet square, the model depicts the French lines July 8, 1758, near Fort Ticonderoga. It shows French and British troops.

“It’s as accurate as I could possibly make it,” Huestis said. “I met with Chris Fox several times to be certain it was right.”

Fox is the Fort Ticonderoga curator of collections. He served as an adviser on the project.

“While it may not be 100 percent accurate,

it’s a faithful representation of the battle lines,” McDonald said.

The model, placed on a table donated by Don Paige, is now on display. There will be a “soft-opening” of the exhibit Saturday, March 2, when the library also hosts a quilt show. A formal opening is planned later this spring.

“We get a lot of questions about the Black Watch name, especially from visitors in the summer,” said Heather Johns, senior library clerk. “This (exhibit) is a nice addition and will help explain our history.”

In July 1758 the British army attacked the French at Ticonderoga, named Fort Carillon by the French, attempting to capture the fort and take control of the portage between Lake George and Lake Champlain.

July 7 the French constructed a half milelong log wall protected in front by a dense tangle of treetops and sharpened branches to serve as a barrier against the British attackers.

This fortification was known as the French lines.

July 8 the British attacked. At the end of the day-long battle, the British had suffered casualties of nearly 2,000 men killed and wounded. Broken and dismayed, the British retreated back to their camp at the southern end of Lake George. The French won the battle and achieved what would prove to be France’s greatest victory of the French & Indian War. The battle was the bloodiest of the war, with more than 3,000 casualties — 2,000 British.

A model of the Battle of Carillon has been placed at the Carnegie Street entrance to the Black Watch Memorial Library. From left are John McDonald Sr., library trustee, Denise Huestis, who constructed the model, Heather Johns, senior library clerk, and Steve Boyce, library trustee.

Leading the British attack were 27th and 42nd Highland Regiments, better known as the Black Watch Regiment. The regiment had 305 men killed that day and another 323 wounded.

The bravery of the Black Watch Regiment became legendary and is remembered to this day. It still exists as the Black Watch, 3rd Bat-

talion, Royal Regiment of Scotland. It has fought in nearly every major British battle throughout the years, landing at Normandy on D-Day as well as serving recently in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Every year the Black Watch holds a ceremony July 8 to mark the Battle of Carillon.

State urged to care for Lake George Money for land purchases should be used on the lake, residents claim

milfoil, zebra mussels, curlyleaf pondweed and spiny waterflea. The LGPC spends more than $1 million a year to manage and eradicate invasive species.

Steve Ramant of Hague expressed concern with state land purchases in the Adirondacks.

That money, he said, should be used to protect Lake George from invasive species.

“The health of Lake George should take precedent over land purchases,” he said.

“Once Lake George is lost, it’s gone forever.”

Dick Glading of Hague agreed, pointing out Lake George is owned by the state.

“What we don’t need is more state land,” he said. “What we do need is to preserve the property we do have. Stop buying more land and start maintaining the land we do have.”

Engler urged Scozzafava to ask the state for assistance with Lake George.

“The cost of removing invasive species from the lake is a lot more than preventing them,” he said.

Scozzafava promised she would discuss Lake George with DEC officials.

Following Scozzafava’s visit to Ticonderoga, a coalition of Lake George groups issued a statement in support of state action. The coalition wants a mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program in place for Lake George this year.

“We simply cannot afford to allow another invasive in Lake George,” stressed Walt Lender of Ticonderoga, executive director of the Lake George Association. “The steward (boat inspection) program will continue to do all it can, but that program needs to be substantially augmented with other tools to prevent the introduction and spread of invasives—from strategically positioned boat wash stations around the lake to enforcement of laws already on the books. The more we can do now, the more successful we will be in keeping the next round of invasives out of the lake in the coming season.”

The lake coalition includes the LGA, the FUND for Lake George, Lake George Mayor Bob Blais, Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover, Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson and Queensbury Supervisor-at-Large Bill Mason.

“Lake George is a uniquely special resource,

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — New York State has a responsibility to care for Lake George.

That was the message delivered to Dede Scozzafava, deputy secretary of state for local government, during a recent visit to Ticonderoga.

Scozzafava came to Ti to outline the governor’s proposed budget for about 40 people at Ti’s North Country Community College campus. Much of the conversation, though, centered on the future of Lake George.

Several people commented on the significance of the lake to the local economy and cited the threat of invasive species.

“We depend on the lake to support our economy,” Ken Engler of Hague said. “We can’t let the lake deteriorate.”

The Lake George Park Commission has discussed regulations to fight the spread of invasive species in the lake — regulations that could include mandatory decontamination of boats prior to launching, designated hours at public launches and new fees. The state Department of Environmental Conservation, though, has taken no action.

John Whitely of Ticonderoga noted many groups — conservationists, sportsmen and others — agree Lake George faces serious threats from invasive species. Those groups are calling for action, yet New York State has been silent.

“It’s very heartening to see these diverse groups come together,” Whitely said, “but we can’t get any support from Albany.”

Invasive species are reaching the lake from boats that have been in other bodies of water and carry the unwanted hitchhikers, according to David Wick, executive director of the LGPC. Lake George currently has five invasive species in its waters— asian clam, eurasian

Assemblyman Dan Stec has not endorsed the mandatory inspection and decontamination program, but he expressed his support for the lake during a Feb. 6 Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee hearing with DEC Commissioner Joseph Martens.

“Lake George is crucial to my district, not only as a tourist attraction and source of revenue, but as a treasured part of our community’s history,” Stec said. “Ensuring that we protect this body of water and others like it is essential to the continued promotion of outdoor recreation and economic development in our region.

“I would like to thank Commissioner Martens for taking the time to discuss topics like invasive species and waterway protection.

With his input, we can better figure out strategies to ensure our lakes and bodies of water remain the jewels of our community they are today.”

so special, in fact, that the State of New York established a dedicated commission to protect it,” Blais said. “For those of us who know and love the lake, and who understand the gravity of the threat at hand, we have no choice but to put our best foot forward and do all we possibly can to implement actions designed to prevent the introduction of more invasive species.”

The coalition has cited Lake Tahoe in Nevada, which implemented a mandatory inspection and decontamination program after Asian clams were discovered in 2002. Since that program was implemented in 2008 no new invasives have entered the lake.

“We should learn the lesson of Lake Tahoe,” Mason said. “Having allowed too much time to pass and their Asian clam crisis to escalate before instituting a prevention program, Tahoe regulators have stressed the importance of swift and decisive action to stop invasives.“

Garden club supports campers TICONDEROGA — Carillon Garden Club members may be resting up before starting their spring gardening chores, but lots of planning goes on during the winter months for a busy club year ahead. Committees meet, programs are planned and seeds are started.

The Carillon Garden Club Scholarship Committee oversees a scholarship awarded each year to a Ticonderoga Middle School student to attend the DEC Camp Colby. Last summer eighth grader Duncan Bain attended Camp Colby and then gave a brief presentation to the garden club members of his experiences.

This year, seventh grader, Riley Quigley has been awarded the scholarship to attend camp this summer. Ticonderoga Middle School students Duncan Bain, left, and Riley Quigley He will also make a presen- are the recipients of scholarships to attend the DEC Camp Colby. Bain attended the camp during the summer of 2012 and Quigley will attend this tation to club members in summer. The Carillon Garden Club sponsors a student each year. the fall.

Science teacher Janet Mallon invited all seventh grade students to write a brief essay stating why they would like to go to a camp featuring environmental and conservation type programs.

While the essay was the main criteria for selecting the student, overall school spirit and academics were also considered.

Guidance counselor Samantha Wells met with garden club committee members Rose Marie Viscardi and Heidi Karkoski during the selection process and just recently arranged for Quigley and his mother, Holly Parrot, to meet and exchange more information.

“The Carillon Garden Club is delighted that they have been able to carry on a long-standing tradition to send deserving students to Camp Colby over the years,” said Betty Rettig, club president. “This has been made possible by the fund-raising efforts of its members and the support of the community by buying Christmas wreaths and attending the card and game party held each year.”

For more information about the Carillon Garden Club call Rettig at 585-7247 or First Vice President Joyce Cooper at 585-2640.

The club meets each month on the third Thursday, usually at 10 a.m. March through December at the Hague Community Building. Visitors are welcome and new memberships are encouraged.

Times of Ti Editorial

Viewpoint

APA: Help me help you I

t’s not often the Adirondack Park Agency gets good press. Let this be one of those few times.

Media groups — including Denton — tend to use the APA as a convenient punching bag when property rights and economic development seem to take a back seat to environmental concerns. Rightfully so, we should be vigilant watchdogs of state government; however, we should also offer praise when it’s earned.

Therefore, what the APA did for Indian Lake recently should be noted.

In December 2012, APA Special Assistant for Economic Affairs Dan Kelleher released a marketing study to pinpoint which grocery chains are good candidates for Indian Lake (IGA and the Big M). The community has been without a grocery store for more than three years. This was the first such study Kelleher has compiled since joining the Agency in early 2012, and he’s hoping it won’t be his last.

Asked why the APA used its important resources toward this project, we weren’t surprised to hear the same rhetoric we’ve heard for decades, about making sure Adirondack communities are sustainable and great places to live. We’ve heard that answer over and over without much definition for the word “sustainable” when it comes to economic development.

Yet we were impressed by the APA’s approach to this project, and Kelleher did something during his Denton interview that government workers rarely choose to do; he explained something in plain English and with an honest answer: “We’re not exactly an organization that can go out and recruit new companies to locate to places. But we can give communities the data that they need to go do that themselves.”

The APA is tiny compared to most state agencies with fewer than 60 staffers. So it doesn’t have many resources. In fact, Kelleher is the only person in the Economic Services Unit, and he received help on the Indian Lake marketing study from the two people in the Local Government Services Unit.

So it’s true, they can’t go out and create economic development opportunities for Adirondack communities. That’s never really been the promise, though. What the APA has done well is work with towns and villages on local

land use plans and be a cheerleader for economic development, making sure to have a presence at major initiatives and conferences.

But we don’t always see the APA’s economic development results on paper like we do with the Indian Lake Grocer Analysis. This shows in black and white that the APA can work within its mission to help communities help themselves. And one of the greatest tools they can provide is data, spelled out in a market analysis that Indian Lake can include with a business plan.

Using this information, communities, such as Indian Lake, are now empowered to draft proposals to attract business. That means a bigger tax base, more jobs, and improving communities’ chances of becoming sustainable.

So Kelleher is now making his Jerry Maguire plea of “Help me help you.” Communities should contact him (891-4050) if they have ideas for similar marketing studies.

As for the elusive definition of sustainability, we applaud the Saranac Lake-based Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) for its current effort to draft a North Country Regional Sustainability Plan, which should be complete in the spring. The document will focus on liveable communities, economic development, water and waste management, energy, transportation and working landscapes.

The ANCA website lists the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s definition for sustainability: “Sustainability is living, operating and growing more efficiently, while using fewer resources ... We can also foster communities that have lower costs, more businesses and jobs, and improved quality of life.”

We should note that the ANCA Board president is Steve Erman, Kelleher’s predecessor at the APA, and APA Executive Director Terry Martino is the former executive director at ANCA. With their help — and the help of many at these organizations — the Adirondack Park just might be headed in the right direction, both environmentally and economically. And, in plain English, Indian Lake could soon have a new grocery store.

The Sequester Quest

I

t’s appropriate that I draft this column flying at 10,000 feet while crossing this beautiful country of ours, on a quick overnight trip to Las Vegas for a publishers’ meeting. As I peer out the window, I ponder what our elected officials will do in the coming week with the March 1 Sequester deadline.

For all of our sakes, I hope they’ve worked out a compromise to put the country on a correction course to begin addressing our ever-rising debt load.

From this publisher ’s perspective, here are my recommendations to those who ultimately are suppose to be running this country and looking out for our best interest and the generations to come.

Mr. President, you won the election.

You’ve no further need to keep campaigning. It’s time to govern. I know you think you’ve got the upper hand over the bumbling Republicans, and perhaps you’re thinking this an opportune time to bring them to their knees. Mr. President, please take a lesson from President Lincoln. He and Gen. Grant understood we are all Americans, and standing on the neck of the South would not heal the wounds of the Union. It was time to unite and rebuild. Mr. President it’s within your reach to be the “Great Uniter” or the “Great Divider.” This nation needs to come together. Please use your reelection and your skills as a community organizer to be the ultimate nation organizer. Reach out to the opposition and embrace them as you’ve embraced your own party. Use your powerful office to unite and bring us all into the new future this country so desperately needs now.

Mr. Boehner, as Speaker of the House it’s within your power to lead your party and the nation. Current public opinion of the Republican-led house is at an all-time low. If you can lead, you have nowhere to go but up. If you can’t lead the House and this nation to anything more than just further gridlock, then perhaps it’s time to step down and let a new leader seek solutions that enhance the party’s standing and inspire the party faithful.

The nation and the economy need an optimistic outlook. We need to restore national pride. We need to put a new luster on America’s world imagine. The world needs American leadership now perhaps

more than ever, but if we can’t solve our own problems, how will we realistically Dan Alexander meet the Thoughts from many chalBehind the Pressline lenges that lie on the world agenda?

Mr. Reed, you and your colleagues must lead the Senate to be the catalyst the brings the speaker and president together. It’s not an easy job but certainly more rewarding than presiding over a body that has accomplished little since you’ve taken control of the Senate.

America, red states and blue states, we have a choice. We can continue to drive our elected officials to even greater forms of divisiveness and destroy this country for future generations or we can wake up and smell what we’ve been brewing and start sending the message of national unity that gives our elected officials the green light to move to common ground.

It’s time to end this economic nightmare and recognize we’ve each got far more to lose than we’ll ever gain if we keep the country going in the current direction.

We need less political cover and partisan rhetoric than we’re currently getting from harebrain stunts like the Sequester, where both parties sign on then blame the other side for its devastating effects.

It was always nothing more than a façade, designed to give both parties cover during the election cycle. If both parties could sign on to that goofy plan as the best way to govern, just think what’s next if we don’t demand they set a new course now.

It’s time for a new national quest … a United States quest to rediscover the promise and opportunity we owe future generations. Let’s start solving these issues now before it’s too late. We can do this. It won’t be easy, but every day we wait to start turning things around will make it that much more painful.

‘Love Letters’ to be presented in Ticonderoga March 9 and 10

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Love will be on display in Ticonderoga as part of the community’s inaugural MArts Madness.

“Love Letters,” a play by A.R. Gurney, will be presented by the Ticonderoga Festival Guild Saturday, March 9, at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, March 10, at 3 p.m. in the Downtown Gallery.

“Love Letters” will star Vincent Smith and Kathleen E. Recchia.

The play received a Pulitzer Prize for Drama nomination. It centers on just two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. In the play they sit side-byside at tables and read the notes, letters and cards they exchanged during nearly 50 years. They discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats.

First performed in 1988, it reached Broadway the following year.

Smith, a Hague resident, is chairman of the Cultural Arts Initiative of the Ticonderoga Area. Formerly an interim director at Silver Bay, he has been involved in the theater for many years, starring in a variety of dramatic and comedic roles. He has also produced, directed and designed sets for professional and regional theater companies.

He co-founded the Keen Company, an off-

Broadway company that garnered an Obie with its second production.

Recchia, a resident of Jay, and has been a theater artist since 2002. She is also a producer, director and stage manager, as well as a grant writer and fund raiser. She is the owner/operator of Book and Blanket B&B in Jay, and works as a freelance copywriter/proofreader/copy editor. She has appeared in theatrical productions throughout the Adirondacks.

Both productions of “Love Letters” are free and open to the public. Donations will be welcomed.

Audience members are encouraged to bring their own chairs. For further information, call the guild at 585-7015.

The events are the third and fourth this year for the guild, which will present Towne Meeting in concert at the Best Western on Sunday, March 3, at 3 p.m. It is also a free program, with attendees encouraged to bring their guild dues on that date.

Two weeks of cultural events and activities — dubbed MArts Madness — have been planned by the Cultural Arts Initiative of the Ticonderoga Area March 2-17.

Highlighting MArts Madness will be the opening of a new gallery.

STUDIO 117, located directly next to The Downtown Gallery in Ticonderoga, will open Saturday, March 2, with a reception and art show 5 to 10 p.m. Sculpture, paint-

Ticonderoga from page 1 skills of the available workforce, implement the National Workforce Readiness Certification program to improve the quality of our workforce, provide new opportunities to the under-employed in our community, target advanced technical curriculum to be offered locally and begin discussions about a regional trade school to be established locally,” she said.

The first step is to offer National Workforce Readiness Credential training, Van Wert said. The first NWRC course will be held this spring in Ticonderoga. Participants will also earn National Retail Customer Service Certification.

“The first major initiative is to establish the National Workforce Readiness Credential as the gold standard of our local workforce,” Van Wert said. “The NWRC program teaches workplace communications, math, problem solving and behavior skills. In addition, it offers remedial help to employees needing to improve math and literacy skills.”

A key component of the program involves improving customer service skills, Van Wert noted. Area employers report that these skills are a particular need in Ti’s tourist economy, she said.

The class will be taught by the North Country Workforce Investment Board.

“NWRC candidates are just better prepared to learn, engage and be successful in the workplace over the long term,” said E.J. Siwek, North Country Workforce Investment Board executive director. “We’re using the Ticonderoga implementation as a model to promote throughout the North Country.”

The NCWIB program will also be incorporated into the Ticonderoga High School curriculum as part of a required economics course.

“This credential will benefit all students whether they are going to college, military or directly into the workforce,” John McDonald, Ti school superintendent, said.

During meetings last fall, Van Wert said, local employers such as International Paper, National Grid and Inter-Lakes Located at: 156 Warner Hill Rd. in Ticonderoga, NY About 3/4 mile up the road on the right. Look for a brown house.

Health indicated they have difficulty filling entry-level job openings because candidates don’t have the required technical skills.

Local squads train for ice emergencies

By Rich Redman

denpubs@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Fire departments from Port Henry, Moriah and Mineville-Witherbee trained Saturday, Feb. 23, at Van Slootens Marina as a team, in the event they are needed for an ice rescue emergency.

“With ice fisherman, snowmobilers and hikers using the lake for recreation there is always the possibility of someone or something going through the ice and our departments want to be ready for such an emergency,”explained Jim Hughes, Port Henry fire chief.

Practice scenarios included the use of rope bags, which are thrown out to victims to pull themselves out, ice spikes for victim self-rescue, and an ice sled with a flotation collar to help rescuers get an incapacitated victim ashore and to medical assistance.

The Moriah Ambulance Squad was standing by as the ice rescue medical team. The Port Henry Fire Department sponsored and organized the event.

Mineville man arrested following threats

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com

Fri., March 1 -Thurs., March 7, 2013

MINEVILLE — An online threat against law enforcement led to the arrest of a 23-year old Mineville resident Feb. 22.

The Essex County Sheriff ’s Department arrested Justin Larmore after receiving a tip through their Facebook page that he had made a terrorist threat toward police officers using the same social media site on Feb. 20.

According to Major David Reynolds, the tip led Sheriff ’s deputies to Larmore’s Facebook page and a post that read, in part, as follows:

21 and Over (R) 10:00AM • 12:45PM 2:55PM • 5:05PM 7:30PM • 9:45PM A Good Day to Die Hard (R) 10:00AM • 1:00PM • 3:10PM 5:25PM • 7:35PM • 9:45PM Argo (R) 10:00AM • 12:50PM • 3:50PM 7:15PM • 9:50PM Dark Skies (PG13) 10:00AM • 12:55PM • 3:15PM 5:30PM • 7:45PM • 10:00PM Escape From Planet Earth (RealD 3D) (PG) 1:00PM • 3:05PM 7:20PM • 9:30PM Escape From Planet Earth (PG) 10:00AM • 12:00PM • 5:10PM Identity Thief (R) 10:00AM • 12:10PM • 2:35PM 5:00PM • 7:25PM • 9:50PM Jack The Giant Slayer (RealD 3D) (PG13) 12:05PM • 5:05PM • 7:35PM Jack The Giant Slayer (PG13) 10:00AM • 2:35PM • 10:05PM Phantom (R) 10:00AM • 12:45PM • 3:05PM 5:15PM • 7:25PM • 9:35PM Safe Haven (PG13) 10:00AM • 2:20PM • 4:50PM 7:20PM • 9:50PM Silver Linings Playbook (R) 12:30PM • 3:30PM • 6:50PM 9:30PM Snitch (PG13) 10:00AM • 12:05PM • 2:30PM 5:00PM • 7:30PM • 9:55PM The Last Exorcism Part 11 (PG13) 10:00AM • 12:05PM • 2:05PM 4:05PM • 6:05PM • 8:05PM 10:05PM 10AM Shows are Wednesday Only

“I will not let you come closer than 10 feet to me or I will KILL YOU... be sure that there will always be people who want to see your blood on the wall.”

Larmore’s post also claimed officers had overstepped their bounds “10 fold” and that anyone who approached him would, “pay for the unjust actions ever taken by any cop.”

Reynolds said that deputies approached Larmore at his residence around 2:45 p.m. Feb. 22.

“When they approached, he made a dead sprint toward the door,” Reynolds said.

Deputies were able to restrain Larmore and bring him into custody.

The suspect was then taken before Moriah Justice Brian Venne and continued to rant against the system while insulting the judge.

“He definitely crossed a line,” Reynolds said.

Larmore was charged with making a terrorist threat, a Class D felony; and one count of resisting arrest, a Class A misdemeanor and was remanded to the custody of the sheriff in lieu of $25,000 cash bail or $50,000 bond.

Larmore will return to Moriah Court on March 19 at 4 p.m.

The Sheriff ’s office was assisted by the New York State Police.

Schroon Lake • Times of Ti - 13

Schroon Lake race recognized by national publication Half marathon selected as best in Northeast

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — The Adirondack Distance Festival has been recognized by readers of a national running publication.

Readers of “Competitor.com” have named the half marathon along Schroon Lake as the best in the Northeast.

The Adirondack Distance Festival includes a full marathon, a marathon relay, a half marathon, 10-kilometer race, 5-kilometer race and children’s race. The 2013 distance Festival will be Sept. 21-22. The marathon, marathon relay and half marathon will be contested Sunday, Sept. 22, with the other events Saturday, Sept. 21.

The Boston Marathon was named the best marathon in the “Competitor.com” poll,

while Lake Placid marathon was selected as the best destination race in the Northeast.

Registration is open for the Adirondack Marathon Distance Festival opened Feb. 1.

“Anticipating an early spring and lots of time to get in those miles, on Feb 1, first day registration of the Adirondack Marathon shattered all previous opening day records and beat Punxsutawney Phil to the start line of another great running season,” said Tom Reid of the Adirondack Distance Festival.

“While half marathons are by far the fastest growing distance event in the United States, a surprising 60 percent more registered for the full Adirondack Marathon, perhaps spiking a new trend,” Reid said. “Either way, be sure to hop on the bandwagon soon, whatever your distance of choice.”

The marathon course is a Boston Qualifier, USATF certified course and is billed as “probably the most beautiful 26 miles and 385 yards you will ever run.”

Bo and Melissa Moses serve their entry in the second annual Schroon Lake Chili Cook Off. The event benefitted the Schroon Lake ambulance squad.

More than 900 runners took part in the 2012 Adirondack Distance Festival Sept. 23.

“It was an amazing day,” Joel Friedman, race director, said of last year ’s event. “The vibe around the course was unbridled positive energy. It was exhilarating to both the runners, spectators and volunteers.

“I can’t begin to thank all of the people that make this event happen,” he added.

“But it is much more than that. It is practically the whole community coming out to support the event. The warmth runners feel from the local community is unbelievable.

For most of them it is a once in a lifetime experience.”

Stanley Larkin of Saint-basile-le-grand, Quebec, won the men’s marathon in 2 hours, 53 minutes, 24 seconds, while Meg Ray of New York City claimed the women’s title in 3:18:54.

In the handcycle race, Jeremy Shortsleeve of Jericho, Vt., won the race in 1:48:44.

The marathon, 26 miles, 385 yards, circumnavigates Schroon Lake over challenging forest roads with lakeside views until it finishes back at the Schroon town beach. It had 239 finishers.

The marathoners had company over the second half of the course as 511 half marathoners toed the starting line in Adirondack and raced to the finish in Schroon Lake 13.1 miles later.

Michael Brady of Brooklyn won the men’s half marathon in 1:14:22. Melanie Staley of Saratoga Springs won the women’s title in 1:27:00.

There were also marathon relays —one for two-person teams and another for four-person teams. The team of Ehntholt-Paquette won the two-person relay in 2:55:20. The team of Toelstedt, White, Cote and Cresci won the four-person relay in 3:12:45.

Alex Shaughnessy catches his breath after completing a rigorous math assignment at Schroon Lake Central School.

Relay for Life meeting planned Committee to gather March 7

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The inaugural Relay for Life of Crown Point exceeded all expectations.

Now, organizers are making plans to do even better.

The Relay for Life of Crown Point Committee will meet Thursday, March 7, at 6 p.m. at the Crown Point Central School cafeteria. All interested people are welcome. For more information contact Carrie Pertak at 304-3872 or Anita Johnson at 597-9339.

The American Cancer Society benefit attracted 250 participants and raised more than $36,000 in its first go-round in 2012.

“That is an amazing number for any event, but it was over the top for a first time event,” said Johnson, who co-chaired the event with Pertak.

Held at Crown Point Central School, the relay featured teams walking on a track from 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, to 7 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 7. Walkers raised money — through pledges, fund-raising events and other activities — to be donated to the American Cancer Society.

A highlight of the event was a tribute to cancer survivors.

Corporate sponsors included Crown Point Telephone Company, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union, The H Team of Burlington and Avery Energy.

Sponsors donating equipment or services included Geraw’s OK Septic Services, DJ Moe, Mountain Lake Services, the Essex County Sheriff’s Department, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce and D&G Canopy Company of Crown Point.

One team, the Rockin’ Oldies captained by Marlene Gadway, raised more than $5,500 and earned Gold Club status.

Crown Point Telephone Company, captained by Shana Macey, raised more than $3,500 and earned Silver Club recognition.

Bronze Club honors for raising more than $2,500 went to Crown Point Connections, captained by James Johnson, and Panthers for a Cure, captained by Michaela Comes Nine teams reached the Rising Star level, meaning they raised more than $1,000.

The Crown Point Relay for Life had a DJ providing music throughout the night along with a series of activities for participants and spectators.

Teams were encouraged to bring tents and camp at the site.

Statewide, and across the nation, organizations devoted to serving individuals with developmental disabilities are planning special events in March to raise public awareness of the many abilities people have, regardless of disability.

People with developmental disabilities are valuable contributing members of our community who have much to offfer f . They have proven to be reliable workers and employees and excellent volunteers, capable of meeting or exceeding expectations and standards.

History of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month In 1987, President Ronald Reagan declared March as National Developmental Disabilities Aw wareness Month. The proclamation called for people to provide understanding, encouragement, and opportunities to help people with developmental disabilities lead productive and meaningful lives. This national proclamation generated renewed respect for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and has increased awareness of the issues faced by this constituency and by their families.

Purpose of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month The month will commemorate the progress toward improving the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and also highlight the challenges that remain in achieving full inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Boys Basketball

Buzzer beater elevates Ticonderoga to title game The AuSable Valley Patriots easily punched their ticket to the Section VII Class C boys basketball tournament championship game, but in a much less dramatic fashion than the Ticonderoga Sentinels.

Trailing by six at 52-46 with less than a minute to play against Northern Adirondack, the Sentinels rallied for a 54-53 semifinal win.

Ty Denno drove to the basket followed by a Michael Graney three-pointer to make the score 52-51.

After NAC made a free throw, the Sentinels had their last shot, and the ball found the hands of Eric Nielsen, who connected on a three-pointer with less than 10 seconds remaining to seal the 54-53 victory for Ticonderoga.

Graney finished with 22 points for the Sentinels, while Nielsen scored 11 points, Anthony Dushane eight, Mark Donohue four and Riley Chapman two.

In the nightcap AuSable Valley used a 169 opening quarter and a 17-5 closing eight minutes to score a 58-39 win against Seton Catholic.

Shane Douglas led the Patriots with 16 points, while John Goodnough added 15, Austin Depo nine, Brandon Brooks eight, Austin Facteau four, Nate Casey four and Zach Cosgrove two.

The Sentinels and Patriots will meet in the Class C finals Saturday, March 2, at 1:45 p.m. at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse.

Moriah advances The second seeded Moriah Vikings jumped out to a 32-16 lead over Wells in the Section VII Class C boys basketball tournament quarterfinals, leading to a 60-41 win Feb. 22.

Jessup Calkins scored 13 points to lead the Vikings, while Adam Jaquish scored 10, Derek Brassard 10 and Mike Mero eight.

The Vikings played third seed Elizabethtown-Lewis Feb. 27, hoping to reach the Class D championship game at noon Saturday, March 2, at SUNY-Plattsburgh.

Schroon Lake wins After defeating the reigning Section VII/Class D boys basketball tournament champion Willsboro, the Westport Eagles had the goal of ousting the top seed and fourth-ranked team in the state.

It wasn’t to be as Schroon Lake remained undefeated with a 50-41 victory Feb. 22 in quarterfinal action.

Thomas Mero hit a buzzer-beater to tie the score at 33-33 to end the third quarter, setting up a last eight minutes where the Wildcats would have to prove their championship worthiness.

“We needed to pick up the energy and play a little bit smarter in the fourth quarter,” Wildcats (19-0) Coach Lee Silvernail said.

“We were able to relax, come out and play hard.”

Senior Jesse Shaughnessy scored 11 of his game-high 21 points in the final quarter, including three points that resulted when he stole the ball with 22 seconds remaining, drove to the basket and drew a foul on a layup for an old-fashioned three-point play.

“I was not going to let our team lose this game,” Shaughnessy said. “We were not going to let the upset happen. You have to give Westport credit. They are a young team with nothing to lose.”

Westport (11-8) Coach Michael “Ike” Tyler said he was very proud of the way his team, seeded eight in the tournament, handled themselves.

“I cannot be more happy with the team,” Tyler said. “We made some young, mental mistakes, but we did not go away and we gave the fourth-ranked team in the state all that they could handle. Jesse’s strength just took over in the last two minutes and we did not have an answer.”

The Wildcats jumped out to a 21-13 lead midway through the second quarter due in large part to their three-quarter court 1-3-1 press.

“We got a lot of easy points off of our press, we just could not get it going for long stretches,” Silvernail said.

“I told the kids not to dribble the ball to

Jessup Calkins scored 13 points as Moriah beat Wells in the Section VII Class C boys basketball tournament quarterfinals, 60-41, Feb. 22. the corners, and they would do just that,” Tyler said. “Once we started passing to beat the zone instead of dribbling, the press did not affect us as much.”

The Eagles cut the lead to 24-20 at halftime and took a 31-29 lead midway through the third quarter. The Wildcats then scored the next four points of the stanza before Mero connected on a jumper in the paint as the quarter buzzer sounded.

Silvernail said that while it was not the game he expected, it was a game his team could learn from.

“I do not think that it can hurt as long as you win these close games,” he said.

Along with 21 points, Jesse Shaughnessy finished with seven rebounds, five assists and eight steals.

Alex Shaughnessy added 15 points and two assists, while Tanner Stone scored six points to go with three rebounds and a trio of steals; Bobby Ross had five points to go

with three rebounds and two assists; Caleb Maisonville had two points and two rebounds; Jeff Armstrong one point to go with eight rebounds; and Joe Maisonville added a pair of steals, both in the critical fourth quarter.

The Wildcats played Chazy Feb. 27, hoping to reach the Class D championship game at noon Saturday, March 2, at SUNY-Plattsburgh.

Girls Basketball

Lady Vikings in semifinals Moriah advanced to the semifinals of the Section VII Class D girls basketball tournament with a 54-25 win against Willsboro Feb. 22.

The Vikings led from the start, putting the game away with a 22-8 run in the second quarter.

Madison Stahl scored 16 points to pace the winners.

Caitlin Pelkey added nine points while Taylor Sprague, Sarah Slattery and Halie Snyder each had seven as part of a balanced attack.

Ticonderoga eliminated The upset alert was sounded Feb. 21 as the Ticonderoga Lady Sentinels headed into the locker room with a 15-14 halftime lead over top-seed AuSable Valley in the Section VII Class C girls basketball tournament semifinals in Beekmantown.

However, that siren was short-lived as halftime gave the Lady Patriots and sharp-shooter Meghan Strong time to regroup. The Patriots then outscored the Sentinels 26-2 in the third quarter en route to a 51-25 victory.

“We had a motivational speech that was less about x’s and o’s and more about energy and desire," Patriots Coach Roger Long said. “When Meghan hit a three-pointer at the start of the third quarter, I felt good after that went in. That broke the dam for us.”

In the third quarter, Strong scored all of her 11 points, connecting on a pair of three pointers, a layup and three free throws. The team accounted for 26 points, 11 rebounds (five offensive), six assists, eight steals and one blocked shot, while Ticonderoga had two points.

“We played really good defense and rotated well in the first half,” Sentinel Coach Shelley Young said. “We hit the boards real strong and did a nice job breaking their press. In the third, I think we just ran out of gas and they hit the gas pedal. I am very pleased with the effort, because they beat us twice and we were able to put a scare in them.”

The Patriots trailed 10-6 after the first quarter and 15-14

at halftime.

“We did not come out as strong as we wanted,” said Strong, who finished with four assists and two steals to go with her 11 points. “Taylor Saltus and Logan Snow were strong and we got a good pep talk at halftime that got our confidence up. I was proud of the team. We knew we wanted to win and keep playing.”

Andrea Rich scored 23 points to pace the Sentinels.

McKenna Kelly added nine.

Ti alumni to play in benefit tourney

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High School basketball stars of yesteryear will return to the court in an attempt to recapture past glory — and help the community’s annual July 4th celebration.

The annual Ticonderoga Alumni Basketball Tournament will be played Saturday, March 23, at Ti High. It will again benefit the Ticonderoga “Best Fourth in the North” celebration.

“For over a decade the basketball alumni have gathered at the Ticonderoga High School to help support the ‘Best Fourth in the North’,” said Bob Dedrick, tournament organizer and a former Ti High coach. “This year is no exception.

“Alumni who have graduated in the 1980s to the most recent grads all converge at the gym to renew friendships, relive memories, get a chance to pit their skills against other graduates and help raise funds for the Fourth of July celebration,” he said.

The 2012 alumni tournament raised $630 for the “Best Fourth in the North.”

This year ’s event will begin at noon. All players are asked to arrive at 11 a.m.

The day will feature four games with the last game for the championship. Teams are determined by the year of graduation.

“This allows graduates to compete with players who were on the roster while in high school,” Dedrick said. “Each game is closely contested, where youth usually competes against experience.”

A three point contest elimination round will start at 11:45 a.m. with the finals held prior to the championship game.

In 2012 the senior team, graduates from 1983-94, won the event. The championship group included such past stars as Gary Manning, Mike Graney, Bob Dedrick, Mike Bresett, Jamie Rockhill, Fred Merrill, F.P. Tierney and Matt Cossey.

The runner-up junior squad roster included such greats as Dan Shaw, Rosario Gallo, Joe Burris, Joe Defayette, Bill Treadway, Brian Little, Adam Porter and Jamie Burris.

The players from 2004 to 2008 won the consolation game. It featured Paul LaPointe, Colin Webber, Steve Burris, Hunter Denno, Jason Boutelle, Andy Kuhl, Brendan Graney and Devon Slattery The youngest players, those who graduated 2009 to 2011, finished fourth. That team included John Molina, Jake Kelly, Evan Glading, Robert Kearns, Robert teRiele, Tanner Perkey, Dan Morrison and Tyler Tucker.

John Molina was the three-point contest winner edging out Adam Porter, Matt Cossey and Bob Dedrick.

“This event continues to be a fundraiser

Jamie Rockhill helped the senior team win the 2012 Ticonderoga Alumni Basketball Tournament. The 2013 tourney will be played March 23 at Ti High School.

for the Fourth of July,” Dedrick said. “As in the past an admission fee will be collected and it is the hope that the community will help support the Fourth of July and also

salute the former players and referees, who so generously devote their time.”

The Fourth of July committee will also be selling refreshments during the event.

Port Henry native David Bruce on the run

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — A Port Henry native recently ran a marathon in Hawaii, as he works toward making his way through all 50 states.

David V. Bruce, a 71-year-old native of Port Henry, ran his 21st marathon in Maui, Hawaii, on Jan. 20, as part of his quest to complete a marathon in every state in the U.S. Bruce came in first in his age division and had a finish time of 4 hours, 44 minutes.

“Not my best time,” Bruce said.

“It was tough run with the first 16 miles very hilly with what a runner calls false flats,” Bruce said in an e-mail.

Bruce said on the course runners could see whales on the right and view a majestic volcano on the other side on the Maui highway.

“One of the things I love about this marathon experience is the people,” Bruce said. “This time I met a 71 year old who had finished 1,008, yes 1,008, and keeps track of all the details on a spread sheet.”

While in Hawaii, Bruce also took the chance to see some of the historical sites as he visited Pearl Harbor and the Punchbowl. Bruce said it was very sobering.

Bruce is a member of the “50 State Marathon Club” and one of about 2,700 runners who are actively working to achieve this goal throughout the nation. In New York State there are 121 club runners. In Bruce’s present state, Florida, there are 166 people on the hunt.

“The man who started it all was Jerry (Wally) Herman, who ran a marathon in all 50 states starting this process in 1975 finishing his last state on Dec. 11, 1983 in Hawaii,” Bruce said. “The most interesting thing was that Jerry was born in 1925 and finished this event at age 58, but it took him only eight years to do them all.”

Bruce added that during Herman’s early period of doing this, there were many states that only had one marathon a year and today we live in a rich marathon environment with more than 700 different U.S. marathons.

“I plan to add to my 21 marathons, to the wrap up the one in New England that I have not got to yet. These will be Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware and New Jersey,” Bruce said. “It is my hope to do between 8 and 10 in 2013.”

Bruce said while running a marathon in Huntsville, Ala., he met a 62 year old who had ran seven marathons in seven weeks in seven different continents. Through many different marathons Bruce said he has heard many stories of triumph and been motivated by others.

“People are interesting,” Bruce said.

A fish tail

A

s winter begins a slow transition towards spring, my enthusiasm for the coldest season has already begun to diminish.

I still plan to get in a few more days of skiing, and hopefully at least one outing with my ice boat.

However, I’ve already begun scouring the maps in an effort to pin down a location for the first fishing trip of the new season. I’m ready to trade ski poles for fishing poles, and get on with the business of taking a slow troll across a small pond.

The bug has already bit me, and I just can’t shake it loose. It started while I was sorting through old photos, in an effort to put together a slide presentation for the annual Sportsmen’s Dinner, which will be hosted in Schroon Lake on March 23.

As the photos flashed one by one, across the screen, I began to get the jitters. What followed was the usual routine of rolling out the maps, checking stocking reports, calculating the mileage into the ponds and finally, taking on the dreaded task of fleshing out my gear.

Soon, my back porch was cluttered with squeaky reels and stinky creels, which were buried under a pile of flies, lures and an assortment of new and true lies to go with each of them.

After poking around in the pile of gear, and making a feeble attempt to re-disorganize the mess, I decided to go back and sort through the slides.

With the images of big brook trout flashing before my eyes, and the stale scent of fish lingering on my fingers, I began to get the shakes. And even though I know it is far too early to even contemplate the prospect of casting a line; it is never too soon to dream about it.

Several hours later, my wife finally woke me from the overstuffed chair, and sent me off to bed. She claimed I was mumbling some nonsense about taking ‘one more cast’, and figured it was time to sleep it off.

I awoke the following morning, well rested and to discover a NYSDEC press release in my email box. The release offered detailed information concerning a variety of new places to fish that were recently added to the DEC website. My dreams were answered.

The new waters include ponds and lakes as well as rivers and streams throughout New York State that have recently been added to DEC's website. They include numerous ponds and lakes, as well as rivers and streams in

the Adirondacks and Champlain basin.

Websites with information on the waters are available at Adirondacks and Lake Champlain: http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/28244.html (DEC Region 5); North Central New York: http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/47504.html) (DEC Region 6) and West Central New York: http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/47509.html Currently, there are many web based search engines, which make it easy and convenient to search and locate any of the new waters on a map.

You simply type in the name of a pond or a river, and with the punch of a button, a pile of potential fishing waters will appear before your eyes.

I use a search engine located at http://newyork.hometownlocator.com.

It provides instant information on the waters I seek, as well as a detailed map on how to get there.

However, I do miss the old days, when I poured through piles of musty old maps, which bore the scars and carried the scent of wood smoke after numerous trips into the backcountry.

I regret that the month of March has increasingly become the season of anticipation and preparation for upcoming my piscatorial pursuits. Traditionally, March had always been a period of maple sugaring and a time for late season forays on ski trails that retained the crust and dust in winter ’s wake.

Last year, when the ponds were free of ice by April 1, I was taken by surprise, as were many veteran anglers. Although trout season has historically opened statewide on the first of April, it was rare that Adirondack anglers ever had a chance to fish for trout on an ice free pond, or on a river that wasn’t raging with spring melt.

Incrementally, the Adirondack trout season has continued to inch closer and closer to an April Fools opener. Anglers seeking trout on the ponds at ice out, should plan accordingly.

“I thought it was going to pull me in“

I’ve always been a strong advocate for getting kids involved in the outdoors, whether hiking, fishing, skiing or hunting.

And I subscribe to the old notion that if your kids hunt or fish with you; you won’t have to go hunting after them.

Sharing outdoor adventures creates a unique bond among participants, which lasts longer, and stays stronger than almost any other activity they may share.

I suppose it comes as a result of a shared trust, and the confidence that fellow travelers place on their companions. It may also come from the sharing of responsibilities and the excitement of discovering and dealing with the ever unpredictable, nature of nature.

Such was the case when Cassie Bullis, a 7th grader at Seton Central in Plattsburgh recently joined her Uncle Rocky and Aunt JoAnn LaGrone for a fishing trip near Clearwater Beach, Florida.Clearwater Beach Florida.

As an avid advocate for getting kids involved in the outdoors, Cassie’s story intrigued me.

I'm a firm believer in the theory that a fishing rod is the best X-Box detox tool ever invented.

I’ve seen it happen, and the reality of having a live fish on the end of a line; always trumps the virtual reality of staring at an electronic screen.

It's a great story, especially for young inspiring female anglers. Her Uncle Rocky described their day shared on the water, “The rod bent double and the drag squealed and line stripped away like a worn out sweater snagged on a closed car door. This was the first sign a monster had sucked in the live shrimp on a 2.0 circle hook. The equipment did its job, now it was Cassie’s turn. With all her might Cassie held her ground, gaining line then giving some back.

The ebb and flow slowly turned in Cassie’s favor. As the swirl of the tail came close to the boat, the fish ran again, with more squealing of the reel and more pressure on the 12 year olds frame.

After 15 minutes of muscle wrenching agony and excited coaching from both her father, Bernie Bullis and her uncle, the fish was in the net and boated.

It was 26 ½ inch Red Fish, a trophy by any measure.

After the adrenaline rush and numerous photo opps, Cassie was asked, “Release or cook?”

She made the right choice, as a meal of Blackened Red Fish is hard to beat!”

I asked Cassie what was going through her mind as she battled the fish?

“I thought it was going to pull me in!” she replied.

Cassie Bullis of Plattsburgh, hefts a healthy Red Fish that she recently landed while fishing off the coast of Florida.

This small trout was deceived by one of the author’s fly offerings.

With April looming, trout season is just around the corner.

Tie one on!

M

arch is around the corner and with a tuft of grass showing here and there, the spring fever for trout fishing and turkey hunting starts my blood pumping. I think about the early morning hours listening for that first gobble and then an afternoon of dropping a fly on a quiet section of

By Rich Redman warmer water for those early season hatches. Oh, how I can’t wait for those first clumsy casts of the year, slowly becoming one with the fly rod again!

After I awoke from my daydream, I went to my junk room and sat at the make-shift tying bench; an old filing cabinet, and started tying typical patterns. Adams, Red Quills, Hendrickson’s, some wets and some nymphs for dredging, were being tied and hanging from the finger holes of scissors and forceps on my bench to dry. I have a flat round piece of mahogany wood with drilled holes in it where I stick the point of my tools into. The vertical scissors and forceps make a perfect place to hang drying flies.

Some of the flies are tied following the famous recipes of men such as Jennings, Marinaro, and Humphreys and of course Fran Betters, our local Ausable River fly-fishing hero! Some flies are of my own design, tied with experimentation and frugality in mind. Some look like they just came out of a cheap foreign monster movie, similar to “Flyzilla,” but I use what I have; deer hair, grouse and duck feathers, and what I pick up at stores when I find something on sale.

There is a great feeling of catching a trout on a fly you tied, whether it’s from a recipe book or from the back recesses of your own mind.

Once I start tying, it’s addictive. I keep going until I run out of hanger room. Tying flies is fairly easy, but patience and practice are a must, along with a pair of young eyes, or a good magnifying glass. The older I get the bigger and brighter my flies need to be. Size 20 hooks just don’t make it any more. Casting out something I can’t see is very frustrating, let alone trying to tie it to the leader when the sun is going down. But that’s why streamers, white winged dries and nymph fishing works for old eyes. It still allows you to have fun, and that’s what it’s all about. Anyway, it’s time I get back to my bench to tie one on!

Box 217, 7551 Court St. Elizabethtown, New York 12932 (518) 873-3332 TT-3/2/13-1TC-40805 ----------------------------ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR 2012 Village of Port Henry 4303 Main Street, Port Henry, NY 12974 TDD 1-800-662-1220 (Public Water Supply ID# 1500290) Introduction To comply with State and Federal regulations, we will be annually issuing a report describing the quality of your drinking water.

The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. This report provides an overview of last year s water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact Mr. Chip Perry, Water Operator, at (518) 546-8698. We want you to be informed about your drinking water. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled village board meetings. The meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the village hall at 4303 Main Street, Port Henry.

Where does our water come from?

In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The State Health Department s and the FDA s regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

The source of water for the village is Pilfershire Brook, also known as Bartlett Brook. Raw water is collected at an impoundment dam and intake structure located off of Cheney Road approximately two miles northwest of the village. Raw water flows by gravity from the intake structure via a ten-inch transmission main for approximately 8,650-feet to the water filtration plant.

The water filtration plant is located off of Storm Road to the west of the village border. Raw water flows by gravity to the treatment building where it is filtered via two continuous backwash upflow filters.

The water is disinfected using sodium hypochlorite solution.

A corrosion control chemical (zinc orthophosphate) is also added to control the levels of lead and

copper in the to the finished water. The finished water is discharged to a 700,000gallon concrete storage reservoir.

Finished water flows by gravity to the distribution system via 1,400-feet of 10-inch transmission main.

Are there contaminants in our drinking water?

As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants.

These contaminants include: total coliform, turbidity, inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total trihalomethanes, and synthetic organic compounds. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old.

It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.

More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800426-4791) or the New York State Health Department at (518) 891-1800.

Notes: 1 - Turbidity is a measure of the clarity of the water.

We test it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system. Our highest finished water turbidity measurement for the year occurred on September 6, 2012 (0.42 NTU).

State regulations require that turbidity must always be below 1.0 NTU. The regulations require that 95% of the turbidity samples collected have measurements below 0.3 NTU. All turbidity measurements were within the acceptable range allowed and did not constitute a treatment technique violation.

2 - The level presented represents the 90th percentile of the 10 sites tested. A percentile is a value on a scale of 100 that indicates the percent of a distribution that is equal to or below it.

The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of the copper values detected at your water system. In this case, 10 samples were collected from your water system and the 90th percentile value was the second highest value. The range of copper levels measured was 0.097 0.44 mg/L. The action level for copper was not exceeded at any of the sites tested

during 2011.

3 - The level presented represents the 90th percentile of the 10 sites tested. A percentile is a value on a scale of 100 that indicates the percent of a distribution that is equal to or below it.

The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of the copper values detected at your water system. In this case, 10 samples were collected from your water system and the 90th percentile value was the second highest value. The range of lead levels measured was ND 4.0 ug/L.. The action level for lead was not exceeded at any of the sites tested during 2011.

4 - Water containing more than 20 mg/L of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on very restricted sodium diets. Water containing more than 270 mg/L of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on moderately restricted sodium diets.

5 The level represents the running annual average of all quarterly samples collected during 2012. In this case, a total of 4 samples were collected for TTHMs and 4 samples were collected for HAA5s during 2012.

6 A violation occurs when a total coliform sample and/or E. Coli sample are positive and a repeat total coliform sample and/or E. Coli sample is positive.

7- We collected samples during the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Quarters of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 to evaluate our distribution system for the presence of disinfection byproducts. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine future sample locations for routine disinfection byproduct sampling. The study consists of the collection of four disinfection byproduct samples once every 90 days.

Data from samples collected in 2009 and 2010 is included herein.

Definitions: M a x i m u m Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible.

M a x i m u m Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

T r e a t m e n t Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Non-Detects (ND): Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.

Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU): A measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person.

Picocuries per liter (pCi/l): A measure of the radioactivity in water.

Milligrams per liter (mg/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one million parts of liquid (parts per million ppm).

Micrograms per liter (ug/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one billion parts of liquid (parts per billion ppb).

What does this information mean?

As you can see by the table, our system had no violations.

We have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below the level allowed by the State.

Is our water system meeting other rules that govern operations?

During 2012, our system was in general compliance with applicable State drinking water operating, monitoring and reporting requirements.

Source Water A s s e s s m e n t Summary The NYS Dept. of Health completed a source water assessment for this system based on available information.

This assessment found no noteworthy risks to source water quality. It should be noted that surface waters in general are highly sensitive to phosphorus and microbial contaminants.

The health department will use this information to direct future source water protection activities.

These may include water quality monitoring, resource management, planning, and education programs. A copy of the assessment, including a map of the assessment area, can be obtained by contacting us as noted below.

Do I Need to Take S p e c i a l Precautions?

Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal regulations, some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.

These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water.

EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children.

Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Village of Port Henry is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components.

When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/sa fewater/lead.

Why Save Water and How to Avoid Wasting It? Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a number of reasons why it is important to conserve water: * Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated with both of these necessities of life; * Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and * Saving water

lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential fire fighting needs are met.

You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water.

Conservation tips include: * Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity. * Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. * Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it up an you can save almost 6,000 gallons per year. * Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl.

It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year.

Closing Thank you for allowing us to continue to provide your family with quality drinking water this year. In order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers. The costs of these improvements may be reflected in the rate structure.

Rate adjustments may be necessary in order to address these improvements.

We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children s future.

Please call our office if you have questions.
