ROGERS’ DEMISE

This Week ELIZABETHTOWN TICONDEROGA

Construction to start in June

Ti Revitalization Alliance hires Betsy Lowe.

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A project to make the former Moses Ludington Hospital a senior citizen housing complex is on schedule.

Liberty Affordable Housing Inc. and Inter-Lakes Health have informed town officials they expect to begin work on the $7 million project in June. Completion is anticipated in September 2013.

The project will turn the now-vacant facility into 31 one-bedroom units for lowincome seniors. It will be called Moses Circle Senior Apartments.

Liberty and Ti officials began working on the project in 2006. The process included an Adirondack Park Agency map change in 2007 that made the project exempt from Adirondack Park Agency oversight.

The old MLH building is owned by Inter-Lakes Health, which owns and operates the current hospital, nursing home and adjacent Lord Howe Estates senior housing complex.

Must present coupon at time of purchase

TICONDEROGA — A former top state environmental official has joined the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance.

Elizabeth (Betsy) Lowe has been hired as the group’s director of strategic partnerships and fundraising.

Lowe worked for New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for nearly 25 years, most recently as Region 5 director.

She is also the former managing director and vice president of the Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks, also known as “The Wild Center.” A driving force behind the creation of the Tupper Lake facility, she remains a trustee.

At the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance Lowe is charged with developing and sustaining partnerships, coordinating arts and economic development initiatives, assisting with public relations and working with the CEO

and board of directors on the development and implementation of a fundraising plan.

“Betsy will be a tremendous asset as we work to revitalize our community and build an organization capable of restoring economic prosperity to the Ticonderoga area,” said Justin Woods, alliance president and CEO. “Her extensive experience in non-profit management, building and sustaining strategic partnerships, fundraising, community/economic development, and visionary project management, will play a vital role as the alliance and our partners move forward.”

Lowe, who lives in Lake Placid, is pleased to join the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance.

“I look forward to working with Justin and all of the alliance’s public, private and non-profit partners on initiatives to revitalize historic Ticonderoga,” Lowe said. “With the Adirondacks, Lake George, Lake Champlain and Fort Ticonderoga, Ti is a community with beautiful natural surroundings, an important history, and many other valuable assets to build on for its long term sustainability.”

Codes concerns dominate Ti board meeting Trustees debate problems in codes enforcement

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Faced with resident complaints, the Ticonderoga town board is wondering what to do with its code enforcement office.

People are concerned the codes office isn’t open to deal with residents, that inspections aren’t being completed in a timely fashion and that permits and other paperwork aren’t being processed.

There was a long discussion about the codes enforcement office during a special town board meeting in February. Ti’s codes office is staffed by Wayne Wagner, a full-time employee, and Bill Ball, a 35-hour a week employee. Neither Wagner or Ball attended the meeting.

“There have been complaints that the code enforcement officers are falling behind with inspections, permits and paperwork,” Ti Supervisor Deb Malaney said after the meeting. “The codes officers feel they need more help.”

Ticonderoga had a clerk that was shared by the codes office, the town assessor and the planning board. When that position became vacant, the town board decided not to fill it as a cost-saving measure.

“We have to work to become more efficient,” Malaney said. “Not having a clerk is an additional burden on those three departments, but we must save money any place we can.”

Not hiring a clerk saves Ticonderoga taxpayers $35,000 a year.

“The codes officers feel they need a clerk,” Malaney said.

“We’re looking for solutions without hiring somebody, if possible. We can’t let inspections and permits lag. The bottom line is that everyone, the codes office included, has to modify the way they do business.”

Bridal & Prom Gowns

During the special meeting, trustee Jeff Cook said the codes enforcement office needs better management, not additional help.

Councilman Steve Whitford disagreed. Whitford believes the codes office needs the clerk’s position to be filled.

Wayne Taylor, a board member, suggested the codes officers be required to submit regular paperwork so the board can see what is being done and when. That way, he pointed out, an accurate picture of the codes office can be framed.

Then the town board can decided whether a clerk is actually needed.

“Put down how many complaints, how many permits, how many violations were handled,” Taylor said, “who went on them, what was done and what was the outcome.”

Cook suggested putting the codes office under the direction of the Ticonderoga Police Department. He said Investigator Dan LaFrance could supervise the department.

“We have now been in this situation for years and we need to take care of it,” Cook said. “You now have this situation where at minimal cost you can have somebody manage the (codes) department.

“The point is someone will be held accountable,” Cook continued. “Nothing is getting accomplished in that department. We had an issue on Water Street that has ben ongoing for years. We have a lawsuit against the town now that could have been handled better. We have somebody (LaFrance) that has management skills that can go up there for a few hours a day and get the job done.”

LaFrance said he had researched the codes office. He noted many contractors have issues with the codes officers; there are allegations of intimidation and instances of permits being issued without inspections.

Malaney rejected the idea of the police becoming involved with the codes office.

“I appreciate the willingness of the police to help, but they’re very busy as it is,” the supervisor said. “Their plate is full.”

Justin Woods, CEO of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, attended the meeting and suggested the issue may not be management at all.

Fort Ti series to continue Native American program March 25

TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga’s “Fort Fever Series” continues on Sunday, March 25, at 2 p.m. with “Native Americans and the Patriot Cause” presented by Military Programs Supervisor Joseph Privott.

The program takes place in the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. for the program.

The cost is $10 a person and will be collected at the door. It is free for members of the Friends of Fort Ticonderoga.

The 18th century was a time of dramatic change for the First Peoples of North America.

They had borne witness to the Seven Years’ War, dealt with the continued expansion of colonial settlement, and answered questions regarding their identity in the midst of these events.

Would they rally for a cause, watch silently, or get caught in the crossfire? Privott will discuss how indigenous peoples navigated international policy and the impact of a war fought at their doorstep.

An additional Fort Fever Series program is scheduled for April 22. The Fort Fever Series is one of several new education initiatives in 2012. People can learn more about the new programs, including the Garden & Landscape Symposium and the Conference on Lake George and Lake Champlain, by visiting the fort’s website at www.Fort-Ticonderoga.org.

Mandate relief should The really important things in life I have come first Tax cap, without help, is damaging

N

ew York’s 2 percent property tax cap and a promise to provide relief from unfunded state mandates are welcome developments for beleaguered taxpayers. After years of neglect, New York State should be applauded for finally addressing the problem of rising property taxes.

This year local municipalities and school districts are being forced to make difficult choices to meet the tax cap, while the State Mandate Relief Committee holds hearings to determine what mandates should be eliminated.

Unfortunately, in their haste to curry voter favor, legislators got things backward. Mandate relief should have come before the imposition of a tax cap.

By instituting the 2 percent tax cap our towns, villages and schools have been forced to make drastic cuts that may not have been necessary had mandate relief come first.

An example is the gymnastics program at Ticonderoga High School.

The sport, which served about a dozen students, has been eliminated by the district as its seeks to reduce taxes.

There has been no mandate relief at this point, but among the possible changes from the state is the elimination of each school’s “internal risk” audit. Schools are required to be audited several times a year. An “internal risk” audit is to designed to seek out fraud. School officials are confident any potential fraud can be uncovered by one of the other audits; they believe the “internal risk” audit is redundant, a waste of time and a frivolous use of taxpayer money.

The “internal risk” audit in the Ticonderoga Central School District

costs $20,000 a year. That’s more than enough money to fund the gymnastics program — or a number of other programs.

If the “internal risk” audit mandate is removed, that money can go back to reinstate the gymnastics program, right? No. The 2 percent tax cap does not allow for any serious budget growth.

Once a program or service is cut, realistically, it’s gone forever. A municipality or school simply can’t add $20,000 to its budget and hope to stay within the constraints of the law. It’s a 2 percent tax cap while the United States inflation rate and cost of living index are both exceeding that level.

If mandate relief had come before the tax cap the “internal audit” could well be history and, perhaps, Ticonderoga gymnasts could still be competing.

Facing the 2 percent tax cap schools are making serious cuts — cuts that may damage academic, music, arts and sports programs. In Beekmantown there is a $3.2 million budget gap. In Ticonderoga there is a $1.7 million deficit. Schroon Lake faces a $600,000 spending gap.

Major cuts are necessary to reach the state’s 2 percent tax cap, cuts that will impact students and employees for the rest of their lives.

Wouldn’t it be a shame to find out, after mandate relief, that some of those cuts were unnecessary?

Elks assist historical society

Nursing home concerns

To the Times of Ti:

To the Times of Ti:

The Ticonderoga Historical Society Board of Trustees sends a most sincere thank you to the BPOE Lodge #1494 for hosting a benefit breakfast buffet on Sunday, March 4, 2012.

The funds from this successful benefit will be used to support our mission: to advance the preservation and interpretation of history through our collections, programs and community outreach, preserving our past for the future.

Our thanks to the Elks, especially those who worked in the kitchen and on the floor and to all those persons who supported this community breakfast. We appreciate your generosity and good will.

William G. Dolback, president Ticonderoga Historical Society

Nation on the dole, Part II To the Times of Ti: In my recent letter concerning “A Nation On The Dole,”, I claimed Americans have become lazy inasmuch 50 percent are dependent on Uncle Sam to take care of them. I didn’t have to wait very long to find the latest example.

A 30-year old female Georgetown student proudly told a panel that her finances were being stretched so far that she could not afford contraception anymore. She said it cost a Georgetown law student $3,000 for three years worth of contraceptive items. Now she’s demanding someone else foot the bill.

In health care any coverage is known as a benefit, not a right.

All I know is, liberals are getting more brazen in their demands.

The issue, however, is bigger than a woman trying to extort from the rest of us. Ms. Fluke can get contraceptive items from a variety of health centers. In fact, her college campus is less than two miles from a Planned Parenthood.

Most of this controversy lies with HHS Secretary Katherine Sebelius. She convinced the president to compel religious institutions to buy insurance with contraceptive and abortive measures built-in regardless of religious beliefs. I call that onesided, not accommodating.

And before I’m called misogynistic, I must say I admire women who have a sense of modesty and take responsibility for their actions. What I can’t have respect for is a woman who told the world she and her friends are looking for an underwriter to cover their “lust for life.”

Once nursing homes go private, faculty managers quickly cut costs; RNs cut by half, LPNs cut, CNAs cut; care for the residents were at an all time low as records collected by the Center For Medicare and Medicaid Services indicates. By many regulatory benchmarks, residents at those nursing homes are worse off, on average, than they were under previous owners according to an analysis by the New York Times of data collected by government agencies from 2000 to 2006. Regulators say residents at the homes have suffered.

At facilities owned by private investment firms, like Habana, residents on average have fared more poorly than residents of other homes in common problems like depression, loss of mobility and loss of ability to dress and bathe themselves, according to data collected by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The typical nursing home acquired by a large investment company before 2006 scored worse than national rates in 12 of 14 indicators that regulators use to track ailments for long term residents. Those ailments include bedsores and easily preventable infections, as well as the need to use restraints. Before they were acquired by private investors, many of those nursing homes scored at or above average in similar measurements.

“The first thing owners do is layoff nurses and other staff that are essential to keeping patients safe,” said Charlene Harrington, a professor at the University of California in San Francisco who studies nursing homes. In her opinion, she added, “Chains have made a lot of money by cutting nurses, but it’s at the cost of human lives.”

Is that what Horace Nye Nursing Home will be coming to?

When will Palmer and the County Board of Supervisors start really caring about our residents at the nursing home instead of their own self interests?

Letters give glimpse into Moriah’s past

T

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

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

Epilogue to Aunt Ell’s Letters by Milley Adams Witherbee Milliken-Oct. 1953, Granddaughter of Thomas & Milley Adams Weatherby” “In 1874 or 1875 he built a large brick house in the southern outskirts, about a mile from the center of the village, which was our home as long as we remained in Port Henry. It was built after his own design and had many unusual features, one of which was that the wing at the rear was about eight feet higher than the main part, so that the floors were on different levels which made it very attractive. It had large verandas looking out over beautiful Lake Champlain toward the Green Mountains of Vermont and in a setting of woods and pastures. To the south was a grove of wonderful pines which spilled in over our yard, which gave the name to the place - “The Pines.” After we had all left Port Henry, it passed into other hands and the verandas were removed, leaving it standing stark and lonely-looking and anything but beautiful.

Also, the Pine grove was cut down and the trees toward the lake have grown so tall that the lake cannot now be seen. Kathleen (Kitty) was born in this house.

Father was very much interested in all sorts of sport, as well as in the civic affairs of the village.

He organized a baseball club and a league was formed with other villages round about and many hard-fought battles were fought. The day of the ball game was always an exciting one - I guess every place of business closed for the day in order that everyone could attend the game. The ball park was a short distance from our house, enclosed by a high wooden fence and complete with a grandstand.

About 1885, the furnace was closed down owing to an economic slump but Father soon received two offers - one to run some of the furnaces of the Illinois Steel Corporation in Chicago and the other to run a furnace in Durango, Mexico. Unfortunately, he chose the latter. He left home, taking with him his son John, then seventeen, who had been a student at Cornell University but had to leave due to poor eyesight. Neither of them ever lived at the Pines again, just coming home now and then for a visit. As a matter of fact, I think John came home but once, which was the summer when he became twenty-one and George eighteen, when Mother gave them a large party. She was left with the care of five children - George 14, Jessie 12, Milley 10, Tom 8, and Kitty 5. The furnace in Durango did not prove a great success owing to the difficulty of obtaining fuel and other ingredients - the nearest railroad was three hundred miles away. But he stayed on there for many years and in fact the rest of his life, excepting that for a few years and he and John ran a furnace in Mayville, Wisconsin. He died there in 1909 in John’s home - John had married his boyhood sweetheart, Florence Remley of Port Henry in 1893.

What a pity that he wasted his great brain and wonderful talents in that god-forsaken country three hundred miles from a railroad. The great iron and steel industry was just getting underway and , as it was, he was at the top and would certainly have gone far. At the time that he received the Mexican offer, he also received an offer from the Illinois Steel Company in Chicago to manage some of their large plants - he turned this offer over to a friend who became very wealthy and lived in luxury the rest of his life. I never could understand his choice but he was only forty-two years old and I suppose there was a spirit of adventure in going to a foreign country - as foreign then as any country in Europe. And why he remained when it was found that the plant could not be run successfully on account of the lack of transportation facilities, I also do not understand, separated as he was from his family which he loved so much. Perhaps he missed Uncle John’s guiding hand - Uncle John died at the age of fifty-four when Father was only thirty-two. It was a great pity, too, that he took his son John with him at the age of seventeen because it ruined his life also.”

Hague store brings back memories Hague Market open with new owners HAGUE — The Hague Market has new owners and an old look.

The store, located at 9844 Graphite Mountain Road in Hague, has been renovated and restored to its original appearance.

“It’s the oldest continually operating store in the Adirondacks,” said Sally DeLarm Rypkema, who owns the Hague Market with her husband, Jim. “I grew up in Hague — next door. My father had DeLarm’s Dairy.”

Rypkema moved away from the area, but when the couple learned the Hague Market was for sale a year ago they decided to purchase it and move to Sally’s hometown.

“The thought that somebody might buy it and make a lot of changes or even close it was disturbing,” Rypkema said. “The town needs a market, a place that can serve as the nucleus for the community.”

The Rypkemas bought the store and closed it for a few months for renovations. It reopened in January.

“It’s looking good,” Rypkema said of the

store, which originally opened in 1900. “It looks like it did years ago. We still have the original hardwood floors, the tin ceiling and molding. We’ve tried to bring it back to its original glory.”

The Hague Market is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

It features a full deli with homemade soups, organic foods, groceries, fresh baked goods, housewares, gift items and local handmade crafts.

Each Wednesday it offers a take-out dinner entree. People can call the store at 5436555 to check the menu each week and to reserve a meal.

This summer the Hague Market will serve homemade ice cream.

Winter is a slow time for business in Hague, which is the reason the Rypkemas decided to open the Hague Market now.

“This is a quite time of year,” Rypkema said, “perfect to get our feet wet and work out the problems.”

Despite the time of year, business has been good, she said.

“People are genuinely happy to have the store open again,” Rypkema said.

Jim and Sally DeLarm Rypkema are the new owners of the Hague Market. The store has been restored to its original condition.

Diskin attends national meeting TICONDEROGA — Essex County Treasurer Michael Diskin of Ticonderoga recently attended the legislative meeting of the National Association of County Collectors, Treasurers and Finance Officers in Washington, D. C. The meeting included continuing education courses in policy and management offered by the Public Policy Administration program at the University of Missouri-St. Michael Diskin Louis.

“The certificate program gives county collectors, treasurers, clerks and finance officers opportunities to learn best practices and to share information with their colleagues,” said Deborah Balser, director and associate professor of the Public Policy Administration program at UMSL. “Nationally recognized faculty provide them with up-to-date courses on recent administrative and managerial innovations.”

The course work covered included topics in generational change, working with the local media, personal ethics, and workplace conflict. By participating in the classes, Diskin reflected his desire to keep his county on the cutting edge of public service.

Diskin has been Essex County treasurer since 1995. He is currently the first vice president of the National Association of County Collectors, Treasurers, and Finance Officers and is in line to become the president of NACCTFO in 2013.

He also acts as chairman of NACCTFO’s legislative committee, a position he has held since 2006. In that capacity, he follows and reports to NACCTFO on pending federal legislation of importance to his fellow county treasurers, tax collectors and finance officers around the United States.

Diskin was elected to serve as the president of the New York State County Treasurers and Finance Officers Association in 2002. He was also presented with an award by NYSCTFOA as the New York State County Finance Official of the Year in 2006.

Arts Trek to mark anniversary Children’s program enters 30th season

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Festival Guild will mark a milestone this summer as its Arts Trek program celebrates its 30th anniversary.

Arts Trek is the series of free children’s programs held each summer by the guild.

“With a new audience about every five or six years, the 30-year history means that Arts Trek has entertained and impacted about five generations of younger children to date,” Cathie Burdick, guild executive director, said. “Last fall when new board members were recruited, one young woman came on board because she remembered attending the programs as a child.”

Arts Trek has become the centerpiece of the Ticonderoga Festival Guild, which was formed in 1980 to present performing arts in the Ticonderoga area.

The guild is now in the midst of its spring fund raising campaign. Letters were recently sent to members and community leaders announcing the summer programs and inviting memberships for the coming year.

Arts Trek will open with a birthday party on Tuesday, July 3, at 10:15 a.m. at the Knights of Columbus pavilion. Stephen Gratto and his sons, who have joined him in his act, will juggle, ride unicycles and walk tightropes.

Six more programs will begin on July 11 with Brian Gillie and his Spirit of America in Song program. Gillie will conduct a workshop at the Heritage Museum at 9 a.m. where he will choreograph a dance with the children, which they will present at Arts Trek at 10:15 a.m.. He will also teach a vintage dance such as the Charleston to the entire Arts Trek audience.

The Seagle Music Colony will present “Little Red Riding Hood,” their children’s opera for 2012, on July 18. Debbie O’Carroll will bring the “Magic of Fitness” July 25 to the

group, followed on Aug.1 by the Diane Kordas Puppets with “Sir George and the Dragon.” Mary Jo Maichack’s program, “Or Would You Like To Be A Fish?” will take place on Aug. 8 with songs and stories of creatures that live in lakes and rivers. Stan Burdick will present “Animals I Have Known,” stories and poems illustrated with giant cartoons, Aug. 15, to conclude the series.

“Arts Trek is not getting older, but better,” Burdick said.

“Each year brings new artists and new kinds of programs to the stage at the pavilion. We also welcome back some old friends who give wonderful performances as well.

“Thirty years is marked by pearls,” she added. “We promise that every program this summer is a gem, a pearl in a sting of great performances over the years. The artists are enthusiastic, the programs are interactive, the whole series is just plain fun while harboring some educational facts and living ideals behind the lines.”

The Ticonderoga Festival Guild will also have adult programming this year.

After a success Twelfth Night Celebration in January, the second guild program of 2012 will be a concert by the Curbstone Chorus of Rutland on Sunday, April 29, at 3 p.m. at the Best Western Inn & Suites.

A progressive dinner is being planned for June. The President’s Party July 25 will feature Tom O’Carroll, an Irish singer and storyteller, who is travelling to the area with his wife, Debbie, an Arts Trek performer.

Two programs will be held on Tuesdays at the Knights of Columbus pavilion — the Ti Talent Night July 31 at 7 p.m. and the Ti Community Band concert on Aug. 7 at 6:30 p.m.

“Budgets have been pared down the past two years but the programs have continued and the guild has managed to end each fiscal year in the black because of generous donations of individual members, business in the area, and several grants,” Burdick said. “Already supportive this year have been the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union and the Arts Council of the Northern Adirondacks, with a DEC grant that will be awarded March 16.”

Thank You The Family of the late John “JP” Sharrow, Sr. would like to express their gratitude for all the food, flowers, mass cards and many other acts of kindness bestowed upon us.

We also would like to thank Dr. Waldorf and Staff at MLH, Nurse Viki Smith, the Home Health Aides; Christine and Diane, the TFD, BPOE, and the Masons who were all so caring and kind.

Richard Gordon, Liberty regional property manager, explains plans to make the former Moses Ludington Hospital a senior citizen housing complex. Liberty Affordable Housing Inc. and Inter-Lakes Health plan a $7 million project that will turn the now-vacant facility into 31 one-bedroom units for low-income seniors. It will be called Moses Circle Senior Apartments.

Thank You All for Everything Donna Sharrow & Family

Ticonderoga from page 1 The plan is for the senior apartments to be operated by CRM Rental management, a division of Liberty, which now operates Lord Howe Estates in conjunction with Inter-Lakes Health.

Funding for the project was announced last fall. Earlier attempts to secure funding had failed.

Moses Circle Senior Apartments is one of 35 projects chosen statewide to receive funding to build and preserve affordable housing under New York State Homes and Community Renewal’s competitive 2011 Unified Funding round.

Funding for the project is through New York State Homes and Community Renewal with a $1.36 million low-interest HOME loan and an allocation of federal low-income hous-

ing tax credits. The tax credits will be converted to a private equity investment of $5.66 million.

Moses Circle Senior Apartments will include modern, energy efficient apartments with central air conditioning and EnergyStar appliances. The building will include an elevator, large community room with kitchen, outdoor covered portico overlooking Moses Circle, a computer room, laundry facilities and management office. The entire building will be handicap accessible with four units fully adapted for people with mobility impairments.

The project will include onsite parking, new landscaping with seating areas and a walking path surrounding the building that will also connect to the crosswalks on Montcalm Avenue.

Liberty Affordable Housing Inc. is a not-for-profit developer with over 1,200 units of quality affordable housing across New York State.

Famous cartoonist Sid Couchey passes away Burdick: Couchey helped create now defunct Ti Cartoon Museum

Tom Tyler Shortly after, Castine got Couchey and the late Arto Monaco to help him create a comic book in honor of western star Tom Tyler.

“This book stirred up a lot of interesting memories in the older generation,” Couchey said in 2004. “The essence of working on something with Arto is something that I had wanted to do for a long time. When Cal came along and presented me with the opportunity, I jumped on it.”

Helped with museum “The first word that comes to my mind is generous,” Burdick said. “He helped us so much when we opened the museum first in Hague and then in Ti. He was one of the first guys I met when I came here, and he would always come down and donate original pieces or do a class for kids about the art.”

Burdick said he would miss Couchey as a friend and artist.

“His was an excellent talent,” Burdick said. “He will be missed by everyone in the cartoon world. He was not just a local star, but a national treasure.”

Cartoonist and Essex native Sid Couchey at a youth art event at the Adirondack Art Association in the hamlet, which he helped to form. Couchey, the creator of the Richie Rich comic series along with several other national and local cartoons, passed away Sunday, March 11, at the age of 92.

First pitch hall of fame

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ESSEX — Sid Couchey, creator of characters Richie Rich, Little Dot, Little Lotta and Rascal the Raccoon, passed away Sunday, March 11.

Couchey, 92, was spending the winter in Inman, S.C., and passed peacefully, according to his wife, Ruth.

In February, Sid was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma.

The aggressive cancer took hold quickly and Sid passed away.

He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Ruth, their two children and many grandchildren.

Reaction came from throughout the region of the cartoonist’s passing.

“I had just sent him a card the other day, so I am really sorry to hear that he is gone,” said Ticonderoga cartoonist Stan Burdick. Burdick credited Couchey with helping him launch the former cartoon museum in Ticonderoga.

“It’s hard to put into words what I feel right now,” he said.

“He brought a lot of joy to a whole lot of people,” Cal Castine of Hometown Cable, who collaborated on a set of cartoon books celebrating local actor Tom Tyler, said. “His loss will leave a void in a lot of lives. He was deeply religious, and I am sure that the first thing he heard in heaven was, ‘well done, good and faithful servant.’”

Castine said he got to know Couchey at first through his work with Hometown Cable.

“Gordy Little and I did an interview with him back in 1997 or 98,” Castine said. “We did a couple of stories on him, and I learned that he was a Cleveland Indians fan. When they were coming to play the Montreal Expos for the first time in 2002, I was doing reporting up there. I asked the team about it, and they just jumped on it.”

Couchey threw out the first pitch of the June 21 game between the two teams. He then created the First Pitch Hall of Fame in Essex.

“We were friends ever since,” Castine said.

‘A lot of fun’ Katherine Cross met Couchey when she was 14 and the two of them went to school together.

“He was a lot of fun,” she said. “Kind of a scamp - full of fun and always doing things. He even did a little drawing back then.”

Cross said he was very active in church even at a young age, being a leader of the youth group High Adventurers.

“He has always been a wonderful Christian man,” Cross said. “He was a person who never spoke anything bad about anyone. He always had something good to do and he was always willing to share his art. If there was an event at church and we needed a picture, he would make it.”

Cross said that he was always thinking about ways to help his community.

“He is somebody we will miss and we will all love,” she said. “I really don’t know if anyone could have had a better friend.”

‘Elder statesman’ Bruce Klink said that he met Couchey when he first came to town about 12 years ago.

“I go to the DNC (Do Nothin Club), and he was the elder statesmen there,” Klink said. “He was a good friend and he had a continuous sense of humor. He always livened the proceedings up.”

Klink also described Couchey as church and communityminded, willing to help out wherever he could.

“He was someone you could always count on,” Klink said.

“He never thought about the monetary returns when he would do a project for someone, which I always found fascinating.”

Scozzafava not running for Assembly

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Tom Scozzafava will not run for state Assembly.

The Moriah supervisor made his decision after meeting with Randy Douglas of Jay, Essex County Board of Supervisors chairman.

“I decided after discussions with family and others I will not run,” Scozzafava said. “My plate is full as town supervisor and at the county. I don’t have time.”

The Moriah supervisor acknowledged family health issues played a role in opting out of a run.

Scozzafava’s decision trims the field in the 113th Assembly District. Douglas, Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood, Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stec and former Glens Falls Mayor Bob Reagan have also expressed interested in the post. Douglas is a Democrat. The others are Republicans.

Scozzafava said he is fully committed to serving the people of the town of Moriah.

“I’m 150 percent committed to Moriah,” he said. “It’s pedal to the metal, full speed ahead for the people of Moriah.”

Scozzafava ran for Assembly in 2002, losing a Republican primary to Teresa Sayward before running as an independent in the November general election. Sayward, who was elected to the 113th Assembly seat in the general election that

year, announced March 1 that she is retiring after five terms in office.

“I had my shot,” Scozzafava said that failed Assembly bid. “It didn’t work out. I’m satisfied where I am right now.

“In order to run for the Assembly and win, you need time, money and commitment,” he added. “I don’t have the time or money and can’t make the commitment.”

Scozzafava is a Republican, although he’s known for having an independent streak. He has endorsed Democrats Andrew Cuomo for governor, Rep. Bill Owens for the U.S. House of Representatives and Douglas as Essex County board chairman.

He is not ready to endorse anyone for the 113th District seat, but he made it clear he believes Douglas is a strong candidate.

“Personally, I’d like to see Randy run,” Scozzafava said. “He’d be excellent in Albany. He’s proven he’s an effective leader here in Essex County and he’s proven he can reach across the aisle and work with Republicans and Democrats. Randy would be an excellent candidate.”

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava has decided not to seek election to the 113th Assembly district seat. Scozzafava made his announcement March 16.

Mineville student wins essay contest MINEVILLE — An independent field biology study turned out to be especially fruitful for both teacher and student.

Every week since January 2011, Westport ninth-grader Peter Hartwell and mentor David Thomas Train have been exploring the Champlain Area Trails along shoreline, streams, wetlands, and woods near Westport. Those explorations prompted them to enter the Champlain Area Trails Travel Writing Contest.

Hartwell attends the Champlain Valley Educational Services Special Education program in Mineville. To supplement the Mineville curriculum, Hartwell studies several subjects privately—including field biology with Thomas Train.

“Peter and I spend time together every Wednesday after school in outdoor science explorations, and we wanted to share what we do and see,” Thomas Train explained. “He is an avid outdoors explorer, with great observation and drawing skills.”

And Thomas Train is certainly no stranger to the trails of the Champlain Valley. He is the guidebook author for the ADK Guide To The Eastern Region.

“I know the CATS trails well and am excited every time a new one is developed, more open space is protected, and I have a new place to explore!” Thomas Train said.

Their jointly written essay, titled “Wildlife, Connected In and Out of Town,” earned them the first-place prize of $500.

“CATS introduces people to the richness of the natural world in the Champlain Valley, and David and Peter ’s essay does the same,” noted contest judge Phil Brown, who is editor of the Adirondack Explorer.

“I was especially impressed by the variety of their field observations—the number of species, or their signs, encountered—and by the detailed descriptions of what they saw,” Brown said. “David and Peter make us realize that we are surrounded by fascinating wildlife and that we can learn much about our wild neighbors if we just pay attention. The authors also uncover on their outings evidence of the Champlain Valley’s long human history. As they say, ‘It’s a lively neighborhood for all who walk, hop, paddle, fly, crawl, swim, bound, run, waddle, slither, or put out seeds.’”

Peter Hartwell and mentor David Thomas Train are winners in the Champlain Area Trails Travel Writing Contest. Hartwell attends the Champlain Valley Educational Services Special Education program in Mineville.

Visitors to the CATS website were also able to have their say and pick their favorite entry.

Jessica Wimett, of Wadhams, won the $250 People’s Choice Prize for receiving the most online votes—41 percent. Her essay, “A Great Resolution,” tells the story of how she named her baby during a hike on a CATS trail.

“I decided to enter the contest because I immediately had an emotional response to thinking about this area, and the sense of community and nurturing I've discovered here,” said Wimett. “The thing I like best about the CATS trails is their accessibility. When I don't have the time to go on a major outdoor romp, I can still have an impromptu wander outdoors with my daughter.”

CATS launched the travel writing contest in September with the purpose of promoting economic vitality through outdoor recreation based tourism.

“People research vacation destinations online, so as they look into visiting the northeast, we want them to see these articles about New York’s Champlain Valley and get inspired to come here, enjoy the outdoors, patronize local businesses, and tell others about this beautiful area,” said Chris Maron, executive director of CATS. “We are grateful to the J.C. Kellogg Foundation for underwriting this contest.”

Contest Coordinator Gretel Schueller noted, “The contest spawned several strong stories. The top four—which include the two winners—can be viewed at our online CATS Destination Guide.”

The next CATS Travel Writing Contest will begin in February. Visit www.champlainareatrails.com for full details.

Champlain Area Trails is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to develop hiking/skiing trails that link Champlain Valley communities, connect people to nature, promote economic vitality, and protect habitat and scenic vistas.

Moriah school student captures regional spelling bee stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The room fell silent as Hailey Ann Aube walked up to the microphone.

“Tuna,” said the sixth grader from Moriah Central School as all eyes at a packed gymnasium at Seton Catholic Central focused on her. “T. U. N. A. Tuna.”

She looked to the judges as the green flag went up, signaling her success.

Tuna kicked off the 2012 Champlain Valley Educational Services Regional Spelling Bee Fri-

day March 2 hosted by Hayley LaPoint, a meteorologist for WPTZ. “Their motivation, poise and courage have brought them here,” she said. “Despite tonight’s outcome, they are all winners.”

The event occurs yearly and covers Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, with the Press-Republican acting as the media sponsor. School districts send their grade-level winners to the regional bee, while the winner of Friday night’s event qualifies for the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C. “It is an academic competition, which gives students an opportunity to study words and

asked to bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to the Moriah Food Pantry.

Moriah Madness will feature games, arts and crafts, a book fair, pie throw, face painting, basket raffle, bake sale and more.

The pie throwing contest, which targets local celebrities — including some teachers — is a highlight of the day.

Moriah Madness attracted more than 250 children and upwards to 300 adults last year.

This year the bake sale will be sponsored by “Friends of Chasity O’Connor & Kennedy Taylor.”

O’Connor and Taylor are Moriah elementary students with chronic health conditions. All proceeds from the bake sale will go to their families.

Also participating will be Penelope the Clown, Literacy Volunteers of Essex County, the Reading in Fundamental program, th PH7 Committee, the Port Henry Fact Finder, Mountain Lakes Services, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program of Essex County and Laura Muniz. In conjunction with Moriah Madness, the school Yorkers Club will hold a bottle drive 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the school bus garage.

Rice said proceeds from Moriah Madness help with a number of PTA efforts.

“In addition to offering two scholarships to graduating seniors each year we have also held the New York State Reflections art program school-wide and presented prize ribbons to the participants & winners for the last four years,” Rice said. “We purchased, along with community donations, and gifted the school’s playground. We purchased, along with community donations, and gifted the lighted school sign.

“We also supply the prizes for the school’s spelling each year,” she continued. “We contribute financially to the Christmas Program to help purchase gifts.

We sponsored an assembly by Slim Goodbody for the elementary students. In the fall this year we held a Healthy Lifestyles coloring contest in grades pre-K - 6 and presented healthy and fun prizes to winners in each group. We just recently made a donation for the junior class after prom party.

These are just a sample of some of the ways the PTA uses the funds that we raise.”

learn the origins of words and learn to spell words and understand the vocabulary of the word,” said Jane Landry of Champlain Valley Educational Services.

Elaine Rice, reader for the regional spelling bee, advised students not to rush through words and to remember to say the word so judges know they heard it.

Each student had two and a half minutes to complete the word.

Orange followed tuna, and then cotton, as Rice said, “That shirt is made of 100 percent cotton,” using each word in a sentence to ensure students understood it.

Students stumbled on words such as wanderlust and democracy, with diagnosis marking the end of the second round.

The event included a third oral round and a written fourth round.

Moriah Central School student Nicolas Manfred earned the title of Spelling Bee grand champion, as well as the seventh-grade title, by spelling the word “quinine” correctly.

Individual grade-level winners for this year’s bee were: Plattsburgh City Schools student Gareth Mansfield, fourth grade; Plattsburgh

Supervisors learn about bridge celebration May 19-20

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The plans for the upcoming Lake Champlain Bridge celebration were unveiled to members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors during a meeting March 12.

Members of the Economic Development, Planning and Publicity Committee heard from Karen Hennessy of the Lake Champlain Bridge Committee on the upcoming bridge celebration, scheduled for May 19-20.

Hennessy, a Crown Point resident, said that the celebration will not only be to promote the bridge, but to promote the region as a tourist destination.

“We want to showcase the corridor with the new bridge as the centerpiece,” Hennessy said. “We will be promoting what our area has to offer. We want folks to come here and say wow, what a great place to be. This will truly be a localsponsored event.”

Hennessy said that the planning for the event is coming along, as well as funding for the events.

“It’s is getting really exciting and we are going full steam ahead,” Hennessy said. “We are even starting to get some

state funds from both sides of the lake released to us to help offset the costs.”

Hennessy said that some of the funding would go to the

costs that could be incurred by Essex County, including covering the costs of security.

“Vermont came up with a good number to help cover the costs of security,” Hennessy said. “We are going to get some funding through the state DOT to cover the cost.”

North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi asked why the celebration was being held almost six months after the bridge was opened.

“Last year, when the bridge was to open, we were told a specific date which was then drawn back,” Hennessy said.

“When we talked to the DOT, they just wanted to open the bridge with no celebration. They washed their hands of the situation and handed it over to us. We could not do the celebration when was the opening was pushed back, and we still wanted to have the party, so we are doing it in May.” Hennessy also disputed claims that the committee was not getting support from the Vermont Department of Transportation for the parade, which is scheduled for the first day of the event.

“Vermont DOT is completely behind us despite some of the rumors,” Hennessy said. “They have been remarkably behind us in the planning.”

CROWN POINT — Marion Sullivan, Fresh Air chairwoman for Essex County, was recently presented with the Fund Representative of the Year Award at the 2012 Fresh Air Fund Volunteer Leadership Conference.

Also honored was Mary Sherman.

Sullivan formerly operated Crown Point Discount Grocery.

Once again this year, the organization highlighted the most outstanding volunteers for their support of the Volunteer Host Family Program. Sullivan was recognized for her management work throughout the Western Vermont area, including Essex County in New York.

Sullivan has more than 20 years of volunteer leadership experience. Without looking at state lines to define her geographic area,

she has kept the host program on track and growing.

The Fresh Air Fund has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.7 million inner-city New York City children since 1877. Each summer, volunteer host families in 13 states and Canada open their homes for up to two weeks or more to a child who might not otherwise have the chance to experience the world outside the city.

Volunteer host family registration for summer 2012 is open. For more information contact Sullivan at (802) 877-3028 or The Fresh Air Fund at (800) 367-0003, or visit www.freshair.org

Schroon students to present ‘Wizard of Oz’ March 23 and 24

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — The Wicked Witch.

The Tin Man, The Cowardly Lion, The Scarecrow, Dorothy. They’re all coming to Schroon Lake Central School.

The school’s drama club will present “The Wizard of Oz” Friday and Saturday, March 23 and 24, at 7 p.m.

“Is there any other show so timeless it has captured the imagination of children generation after generation?,” Anita Masiello, codirector said. “It delights us as children and enthralls us all over again as adults.”

Joining Masiello as director is Wendy Sargent.

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for senior citizens and students. Children younger than age 5 will be free.

The play will be performed in the school’s new auditorium.

“When trying to choose this year ’s musical we wanted to do something classic to reveal the beautiful new auditorium completed last spring,” Masiello said.

Drama students Clare Whitney, Roxy Subra, Nathan Wilson, Will Lowe, Mitchell

Beers, Kyle DeVita, Tiffany Messing, Tyler Swartout, Lucas Wilson, Natalia Stout and Ian Lowe will play the lead roles in the production.

All the well-known characters from the L. Frank Baum story will appear, including the Munchkins, Ozions, Flying Monkeys and Winkie Guards as Dorothy, the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion make the trek to the Emerald City of Oz, pursued by the Wicked Witch.

“The first stage production of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ opened in 1902 and introduced us to the fabulously memorable characters which we have grown to love,” Masiello said.

“Dorothy and her dog Toto are caught in a tornado’s path and somehow they end up in the Land of Oz. Dorothy and her companions, the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow set out to seek a courage, a heart and a brain and each learn that they need to look no further than themselves to find happiness.

“You will be reminded of the enchanting songs that have become classics ’ ‘Over The Rainbow.’ ‘Ding Dong The Witch is Dead’ and ‘We’re Off To See the Wizard’ and more,” she said. “Come and see Schroon Lake students perform this classic story as Dorothy learns ‘there is no place like home!’”

The Schroon Lake Central School drama club will present “The Wizard of Oz” Friday and Saturday, March 23 and 24, at 7 p.m.

Schroon Lake inducts honor students during ceremony

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Becoming a member of the National Honor Society requires more than academic success.

A dozen new inductees to the Schroon Lake Central School National Honor Society chapter were reminded of that during ceremonies March 5.

Scholarship, service, leadership and character are the core values of the National Honor Society. A color candle representing each trait was lit by chapter members.

Character was represented by the color green, a fact highlighted by guest speaker Jane Claus.

Claus sang a song and used props to stress the importance of “being green” — emphasizing character. She challenged

students to strive for excellence as a person, not just as a student.

The Schroon Lake chapter then inducted Claus as an honorary member.

New members of the Schroon Lake National Honor Society are Brandi Busick, Jessica Grey, Mitchell Beers, Jonathan Kowalka, Daniel Maisonville, Clare Whitney, Samuel Foote, Justin Lough, Ian Lowe, Caleb Maisonville, Robert Rose and Abigail Wisser.

To be eligible for induction a student must have an 85 average of better and demonstrate the characteristics of the society. In Schroon Lake students with the required academic average were selected by a vote of faculty and staff.

The induction of 12 students is unusual at Schroon Lake and swelled the chapter membership to 18. This is the first time sophomores have been eligible for induction at Schroon, so sophomores and juniors account for the new membership.

Others members of the local chapter include President William Lowe, Jonathan Lough, Sarah Derosier, Tiffany Messing, Katelyn Rose and Matthew Savarie.

Lowe welcomed the community to the ceremony,

Savarie led the Pledge of Allegiance and Messing introduced Claus as guest speaker.

Bonnie Finnerty, Schroon Lake school superintendent, congratulated the new inductees.

Following the induction ceremony NHS chapter members greeted the public in a receiving line prior to a dessert reception.

The event was planned by the Schroon Lake National Honor Society Faculty Council. The council includes co-advisers Cookie Barker and Rita Herbst, Sarah Behm, Beth Buell, Laura Corey, Mat Riddle and Wendy Sargent.

NORTHCOUNTRYSPCA Kathy L. Wilcox • 962-8604

T

his week, The North Country SPCA would like to remind you about our recently introduced program, Seniors for Seniors, that will help both cats and people find the friendship they crave. The program is available to adults aged 60 or older who would like to be matched with one of the shelter’s eligible cats, selected by our knowledgeable staff. The cats in the program are aged 3 or older; or have been in the shelter more than a year; or are shy or withdrawn in a shelter setting.

A discount of 50-percent off the adoption fee is available until May 1. Cats will be spayed or neutered and up to date on routine shots. We currently have many wonderful cats at the shelter who qualify for adoption under this program. There is a huge advantage in adopting an adult cat with a personality that is already clearly formed and who has outgrown the rambunctious and sometimes destructive tendencies of kittens and juvenile cats. My personal experiences of adopting two older cats have been extraordinarily positive - I would recommend adopting a mature feline

to anyone who is adopting a pet for the first time or who does not want a lot of disruption in their household. Some things just get better with age; and this is often true of pets as well as people!

Our featured pet this week is Isabella, a Domestic Longhair-mix feline with a snowcolored coat accented with calico markings. Isabella is approximately 9 years old and was regretfully surrendered by her owner when he was no longer able to care for her. Isabella was very much loved by her previous owner and has a sweet, endearing personality and mannerisms. If you approach her cage, she will greet you by nuzzling at you through the bars with loud purrs. She loves to give people "kisses" and will lick your entire hand if she feels you need a bath! Isabella dreams of being a lap cat in a home where she can get plenty of cuddles and attention. She gets along well with other cats and does not seem to mind being around dogs. You will not find a more affectionate cat than Isabella, and her luxurious, thick coat is irresistable. Why not stop by the NSCPA and visit her today?

SCHROON LAKE — During a March 8 budget meeting, members of the public were told that the Schroon Lake School District is still $538,000 short from staying under the state’s mandated tax cap.

Area school officials are considering reductions to make up that shortfall including cuts to non-mandated programs such as music, kindergarten and pre-kindergarten, library staff hours, late bus runs, art and technology and athletics.

Staff reductions may also be necessary, Schroon Lake Superintendent Bonnie Finnerty has said.

If the district were to adopt the spending plan without trimming the $538,000, it would result in an almost 10 percent hike in the tax levy, Finnerty said.

Given the state’s new tax cap requirement, that would also mean the school budget would have to pass by a “super majority” — more than 60 percent in favor of its adoption — a rarity during local budget votes.

The formula used by the state to determine the maximum allowable tax levy increase in each district is a complicated one, but Schroon Lake’s was set at 2.94 percent, Finnerty said March 8.

Originally, district officials thought the cap was 1.88 percent, which would have put the budget $632,000 short, but Finnerty said the cap should actually be 2.94 percent.

“There were additional exclusions in our formula that we discovered,” Finnerty said. “There were interpretation differences that could be included in our tax cap formula that made the difference here.”

Either way, the $538,000 shortfall means difficult decisions will still need to be made, Finnerty said.

“In a district our size, you don’t make up that deficit by ordering less pencils,” Finnerty said. “We have to cut $583,000 and those numbers are people. Folks, the only way we can make those numbers is to cut people.”

More information will be made public during the district’s next budget meeting on March 22.

In the meantime, Finnerty has held one-on-one meetings with faculty members since the district sent every faculty member a layoff notice on March 1. The notices alerted faculty members reductions will be made. Finnerty said she is not prepared to give a number of employees that may be cut until the board determines the number of program reductions.

“For our district this is going to feel completely different than what we are used to,” Finnerty said. “When we discuss cutting programs we essentially discuss cutting people.”

As it stands now, the total Schroon Lake Central School budget for 2012-13 is $7.7 million, a 4.19 percent increase over the current budget of $7.4 million.

State aid is projected to increase from $817,009 to $846,268, and district officials propose using $250,000 from fund balance to reduce the tax levy. This year, $650,000 was used.

The total amount to be raised by taxes would increase from $5,862,870 to $6,035,477 under the plan.

The March 22 meeting will be held in the school auditorium. It begins at 7 p.m., and community input is welcome.

Saturday, March 24 SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake Central School will present “The Wizard of Oz” at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for senior citizens and students. Children younger than age 5 will be free.

Sunday, March 25 MORIAH — The Moriah Fire Department will hold a 9-pin, doubles bowling tournament at the Mineville VFW to assist with fire prevention efforts.Bowling will be at 12:30 and 3 p.m. Entry fee is $20 a person.

Slang on the Slopes

By John Bernardi

L

ike all good fanatics, skiers and snowboarders have developed their own unique terminology. In some cases, the fun-loving slang is universal between the two disciplines, and in other cases, it is derogatory toward the other. Either way though, the slopes are full of enough jargon and lingo to symbolically push old man Webster over the proverbial edge of the mountain.

The “milk run” is the first run of the day and “plankers” do it on skis, while “knuckle draggers” do it on a snowboard, or “lunch tray.” If you’re a “Betty,” you’re a novice female snowboarder, while “chicks on sticks” can be any group of girls or women on skis. Hopefully, they are wearing a “brain bucket” for head protection and their “chatter” refers not to their rapid conversation, but to the unwanted vibration of their skis or board when running at speed. A small snowboarder might be referred to as a “grom” and anyone who ventures into closed terrain could be considered a “poacher”.”

A “dump” has nothing to do with a trip to the bathroom, but has everything to do with a significant snowfall. Speaking of lavatory references, “pooping” refers to sitting way back on your skis while bent at the waist, which usually results in making “toilet turns” all the way down the slope. This is considered bad form for adults, but “lift lickers,” kids who can’t resist sticking their tongue on the chairlift bar, enjoy doing it for fun.

If the snow is really good, it’s referred to as “epic,” if too soft “mashed potatoes” and if too hard “boiler plate” or even “bullet proof.” On occasion, good snow turns to “crud” after too many skiers or snowboarders have used it to get their “freshies” early in the day, causing late day conditions to become “gnarly.” Worse yet, “death cookies” are present after extensive snowmaking and grooming leave big frozen chunks of ice in the middle of

The ‘Quick Trip’ I

t has been over two decades since “The Trip,” and yet I still quiver with a mere memory of it. Although I retain fond memories of the journey, my heart begins to palpitate as I put these words on paper. It’s likely a case of mind over matter.

The Trip occurred in the early days of my career as a guide.

It began innocently enough, with a request from an old friend who asked if I would be willing to guide a group of aspiring Adirondack ‘46ers. They were concerned with a proposed plan to knock off three trail-less peaks in a single day, including a round trip of more than 20 miles, over wet and muddy trails.

My friend assured me, the ladies were all in good shape, and they had aspired to become members of the fabled Adirondack '46ers, an organization of outdoor enthusiasts who have climbed all of the High Peaks.

Their plan was to climb Panther Mountain, Santanoni Peak, and Couchsachraga Peak, located in the southern reaches of the High Peaks Wilderness Area.

Santanoni, the highest of their proposed peaks at 4,607 feet, is believed to have been named after the Abenaki pronunciation for Saint Anthony, a common term among the French traders and missionaries who once traveled the region. By the time the group eventually reached the mountain summit, I was busy doing some praying of my own.

Couchsaraga, which is considered a High Peak despite an elevation of only 3,820 feet, draws its name from an Algonquin term which roughly translates as “dismal wilderness.” By the end of The Trip, it was a most appropriate description for a guide’s view of the hill.

Panther Mountain’s moniker speaks for itself, and although its elevation is listed at 4,442 feet, it proved to be the easiest of the batch.

After meeting at the trailhead in Tahawus, we began The Trip. In my eagerness to prove the worthiness of hiring a guide, I offered to carry the necessary supplies. I instructed the ladies, “Just toss it all in my packbasket.”

As directed, they stuffed gear into the old basket, and as a group, we happily set off. Almost immediately, I was surprised by their pace of travel.

After hiking several miles along an old road, we turned off onto the hiking trail to Bradley Pond. None of the ladies appeared to be the slightest bit winded, and they seemed to all have a noticeable bounce to their step.

In contrast, I was already reeling from the weight of the pack, as sweat dripped off my nose like a leaky faucet.

Soon, the trail narrowed, but after transitioning to single file, they returned to their steady, ground-eating pace. In short order, we reached the turnoff for the herd path, which is located

the trail. This, of course, could cause a potential “yard sale” should some poor sap wipe out, leaving their equipment strewn across the trail in plain view of the chairlift.

“Goofy” refers to leading with your right foot on a snowboard where you might “jib” in the Terrain Park or “shred” high speed carving turns. Done well, these could be considered “phat” and done poorly they could be considered “wack.”

Either way, a “hucker,” flying high through the air could end up a “bono” should they smack into a tree. Of course, “snow scum” refers to any skier or snowboarder refusing to follow the responsibility code or other slope side etiquette, while “run rubbish” is any group blocking passage on the trail. This same group, or any group like it, would be considered “vermin” if blocking access to the lift line or “gapers” if pausing to take in the view.

“Schussing” on skis is straight lining down the “fall line” without turning, and “ripping” is good high speed carving.

However, either one could result in a “snotsicle” due to the wind chill reacting with a runny nose. Incidentally, any parent using a leash or harness to teach their young child on the slopes would be referred to as a “dog trainer” and is usually

a short distance from the Santanoni Lean-to. Glancing at my watch, I was shocked to realize we covered the distance so swiftly.

I simply couldn't understand how the ladies managed such a pace. I was in good shape, and nearly half their age, and yet, I was already spent.

After leaving the marked trail, we crossed a beaver dam and began a steep bushwack along an old ore bed. The route was direct, and it often required hand-over-hand climbing, and rock hopping along the streambed.

Previous travelers had created tunnels through the spruce thickets, and these paths often dead ended, or led to further intricate and intertwined labyrinths which went nowhere.

Finally, we reached the level ground between Panther and Santanoni, known as Times Square. The area provides an intersection for the routes connecting the three peaks. We decided to head straight on to Couchsaraga, and double back before enjoying some lunch.

In just 10 miles of travel, my pack had seemingly increased tenfold in weight. I considered leaving it behind at Times Square, but I lugged it along for fear that mice, squirrels or some other critter would pilfer our foodstocks.

After tackling the steep up and down route to Couchsaraga, the group took a few photos and we promptly returned to Times Square for lunch. To my relief, one of the ladies had pulled up lame with a twisted ankle.

“Thankfully, St. Anthony was listening,” I mumbled while panting for breath, “That should slow the pace a bit!”

Unselfishly, I offered to forsake the jaunt to Santanoni, in order to care for the young lady, and to have a moment of rest.

The others agreed with my offer, and they promptly took off toward Santanoni at a steady clip.

I began taping up the suspect ankle, and soon we decided to test it with a slow stroll to nearby, Panther Peak. Surprisingly, I managed to keep pace with the wounded one, and my mind raced with thoughts of spraining a few more ankles.

After returning from Santanoni, the group regrouped and amid much laughter, the friendly banter began anew. I offered up fresh drinks for everyone, as part of my ongoing efforts to shed weight. Fortunately, I had some takers.

After a quick lunch, we again hiked to the summit of Panther for a short visit, and soon I announced it was time for the departure. With no sign of fatigue, the ladies took off as if shot from a cannon, and the banter never let up.

They stayed on my heels like bubble gum on a hot day. for

well equipped to handle partially frozen mucous.

Perhaps you consider yourself “old school” and you believe most of this slang to be the work of young punks with no regard for tradition or nostalgia. In that case, you better make sure your “wicket” doesn’t impede your “stem Christie” resulting in a “face plant” of epic proportions. Even worse, a poorly executed “wedeln” on your long straight skis could cause you to become a “rag doll,” cart wheeling down the slope. After all, some “hoe dad” is likely to be watching from his perpetual seat in the lodge, glad he is just a “poser” instead of an old fashioned “fruit booter” like you.

Pondering such linguistic nonsense on a recent ride up the gondola at Gore Mountain, I couldn’t help but wonder how the English Dictionary would read differently if old Webster new the pure joy of “vertical rise,” finding the “sweet spot” and “shredding the gnar.” Instead, the unfortunate “flatlander” never knew what pleasure awaited him on the proverbial edge of that mountain.

A wet and tired looking Joe Hackett, admires the thick spruce thicket on the summit of Santanoni Peak. the entire return trip. They were pushing me along. Finally, with the truck in sight, I staggered to deposit my tattered carcass on the tailgate. Shedding the pack offered a huge relief. I felt as if I was ready for lift-off.

I covered my recovery efforts by redistributing the gear. Out of my pack came a wide assortment of jackets, windbreakers, water bottles, socks, bags of Gorp, First-Aid supplies, a small tent, a down mummy bag and a portable stove. In an instant, a yard sale had appeared on the tailgate, and just as soon, it was scooped up.

As the assembly began to disassemble, I pronounced the day a complete success, despite the twisted ankle, and a few nasty scratches.

And, I sheepishly mentioned how impressed I was with the entire crew, explaining, “I'm not used to having company all day long. It seems I’m always waiting for people to catch up!

I am thoroughly impressed, you folks were nipping on my heels all the way!”

Mischievous smiles slowly appeared, and laughter began as their impressive athletic resumes were revealed.

“Oh! Maybe we should have told you…” Then the finger pointing began, “She’s currently ranked as one of the top 10 marathoners in the nation. And she's a two time national champion in the 10,000 meter, and she won the US Track and Field Nationals for her age group...and she owns the US record for...”

Humbled by the company of such talented athletes, I attempted to explain the deep shade of red that was rapidly overtaking my pale complexion, was a result of overheating.

For some strange reason, I don’t think they believed me.

Occasionally, I’ll run into one of the culprits at the Post Office, or the grocery store. And they always ask if I’m still up for another “Quick Trip.” My standard response is to make the sign of a cross, with two fingers and slowly back away.

All moneys held by the Escrow Holder shall be invested only in direct obligations of the United States of America, in obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America or in obligations or instruments qualified under Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, which obligations or instruments shall mature or be subject to redemption at the option of the Escrow Holder not later than the respective dates when such moneys will be required to make payments in accordance with the Escrow Contract and the Refunding Financial Plan. Any such moneys remaining in the custody of the Escrow Holder after the performance in full of the Escrow Contract by the Escrow Holder shall be returned to the County and shall be applied by the County Treasurer to the payment of the principal of or interest on the Refunding Bonds then outstanding, to the payment of any amounts required to be paid to the United States of America in connection of with the refunding of the Refunding Bonds or to the payment of or reimbursement for the costs of issuance or other administrative costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Refunding Bonds. In connection with the investment of moneys held by the Escrow Holder under the Escrow Contract, the County Treasurer is authorized to execute on behalf of the County any forward purchase or supply contract for the purchase or supply of the securities described in this subsection (d) at a date subsequent to the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, as is needed to accomplish the purposes of the Refunding Financial Plan.

Section 3. It is hereby determined that the maximum period or periods of probable usefulness permitted by law at the time of the issuance of the Refunded Bonds for each of the objects or purposes for which the Refunded Bonds were issued is no less than as shown in the Certificates of Determination of the County Treasurer incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this resolution taking into account the earlier of the original date of issuance of any such series of serial bonds or bond anticipation notes funded by such series of Refunded Bonds; and Section 4. The financial plan for the refunding authorized by this resolution (the Refunding Financial Plan ), showing the sources and amounts of all moneys required to accomplish such refunding, the estimated present value of the total debt service savings and the basis for the computation of the aforesaid estimated present value of total debt service savings, are set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof.

The

Refunding Financial Plan has been prepared based upon the assumption that the Refunding Bonds will be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $30,970,000 if fully issued and will mature, be of such terms, and bear such interest as set forth in the Refunding Financial Plan. The Board of Supervisors of the County recognizes that the principal amount of the Refunding Bonds, the series, maturities, terms, interest rate or rates borne by the Refunding Bonds, the provisions for redemption thereof prior to maturity and whether or not all of the Refunding Bonds will be insured, and the resulting present value savings are likely to vary from such assumptions and that the Refunding Financial Plan will likely vary from that attached hereto as Exhibit B. The County Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to determine the principal amount of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, the series and designation or designations thereof, the time or times of the sale thereof, the maturities and terms thereof, the provisions relating to the redemption of the Refunding Bonds prior to maturity, if any, the rate or rates of interest to be borne thereby, whether or not the Refunding Bonds will be insured in whole or in part or uninsured, and to prepare, or cause to be provided, a final Refunding Financial Plan, all in accordance herewith, and all powers in connection therewith may be exercised by the County Treasurer; provided, that the terms of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, including the rate or rates of interest borne thereby, shall comply with the requirements of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law. The Board of Supervisors shall file a copy of a certificate determining the details of the Refunding Bonds and the final Refunding Financial Plan with the County Clerk within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, as herein provided.

Section 5. The faith and credit of the County are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as the same respectively become due and payable. An annual appropriation shall be made in each year sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds becoming due and payable in such year.

To the extent that the same are not paid from other sources, there shall be annually levied on all the taxable real property in the County a tax sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as the same become due and payable.

Section 6. Proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds, including any accrued interest and, together with interest earned thereon, which shall be required for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds, including any redemption or call premiums, in accordance with the Refunding Financial Plan, shall be irrevocably committed and pledged to such purpose and the owners of the Refunded Bonds shall have a lien upon such moneys and the investments thereof held by the Escrow Holder.

The pledge and lien provided by this resolution shall become valid and binding upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds and the moneys and investments held by the Escrow Holder shall immediately be subject thereto without

any further act. Such pledge and lien shall be valid and binding against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, equity, at law or otherwise against the County irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof.

Neither this resolution, the Escrow Contract, nor any other instrument relating to such pledge and lien, need be filed or recorded.

Section 7. In accordance with the terms of the Refunded Bonds and the provisions of Section 53.00 and of paragraph (h) of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, and subject only to the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, as herein authorized, the County hereby elects to call in and redeem (i) all or a portion of the Series 2004 Bonds maturing on and after May 1, 2014 on May 1, 2013 and (ii) all or a portion of the Series 2005 Bonds maturing on and after May 15, 2015 on May 15, 2014. The sum to be paid therefor on such redemption dates shall be the par value thereof plus the redemption premium, if any, as provided in the issuance proceedings for the Series 2004 Bonds and the Series 2005 Bonds and the accrued interest to such redemption date. The Escrow Holder is hereby authorized and directed to cause notice of such call for redemption to be given in the name of the County in the manner and within the times provided in the issuance proceedings for the Series 2004 Bonds and the Series 2005 Bonds.

Such notice of redemption shall be in substantially the form attached to the Escrow Contract.

Upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, the election to call in and redeem the applicable portion of the Series 2004 Bonds and the Series 2005 Bonds and the direction to the Escrow Holder to cause notice thereof to be given as provided in this paragraph shall become irrevocable, provided that this paragraph may be amended from time to time as may be necessary in order to comply with the notice, requirements of paragraph (a) of Section 53.00 of the Local Finance Law, or any successor law thereto. It is hereby determined that with respect to the series of Refunded Bonds to be called in and redeemed as provided in this Section 7, it is to the financial advantage of the County not to charge, impose and collect or receive from registered owners of the Refunded Bonds mailing, shipping, insurance or other similar charges in connection with such redemption or calls.

Accordingly, pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 70.00 of the Local Finance Law, no such charges shall be so charged, collected or received by the Chief Fiscal Officer, as fiscal agent.

T T- 3 / 1 7 / 1 2 - 1 T C 33762 ----------------------------ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR 2011 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 December 19, 2011 (0.36 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 2011. In

Times of Ti - 31

www.timesofti.com this case, a total of 4 samples were collected for TTHMs and 4 samples were collected for HAA5s during 2011.

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.

Treatment 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 opera-

tions?

During 2011, our system was in general compliance with applicable State drinking water operating, monitoring and reporting requirements.

Our system was affected by flood damage as a result of significant rainfall on April 26 27, 2011. An isolated section of the Village s distribution system (Dock Street) was damaged by the flood water and leaking during the early morning hours of April 27, 2011. Water pressure was negligible on Dock Street, Tunnel Avenue and along a short section of NYS Route 9N/22. Water pressure was negligible for longer than four hours to approximately 10 water customers.

The valve was isolated and shut down by mid-afternoon and water service was reestablished in the area. As a result of losing pressure in this section of the distribution system, the New York State Department of Health issued a Boil Water Order for Dock Street, Tunnel Avenue, and along Route 9n/22 north of the Dock Street intersection.

The Boil Water Order was lifted on April 29, 2011 after the main was repaired and our water supply returned to normal, sanitary operation.

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 Special 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.

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.

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.
