CROWN POINT — Crown Point Central School athletes of yesteryear are being asked to rally in support of their heritage.

The school varsity club is seeking donations to replace seven championship banners that were once displayed in the school gym.

“Four years ago our gymnasium was renovated and looks amazing,” Mary Hope McGinniss, school athletic director, said. “Unfortunately, all of our champi-

onship banners were removed and now need to be replaced with fire retardant materials.”

It will cost $2,730 to replace the banners. McGinness is asking former Panther athletes to make donations to cover the cost.

“With each $25 donation we will add that person’s name to our alumni board,” McGinness said. “The alumni board will be displayed at the entry to the gymnasium. My hope is to not only replace our banners, but to recognize all those alumni who are part of CPCS history.”

Checks can be made out to the CPCS Varsity Club and mailed to McGinness at Crown Point Central School, 2758 Main St. Crown Point 12928.

Crown Point school seeking alumni support

People should include their name, including maiden name, and the year they graduated.

People can also donate in memory of a former Panther athlete. The name and class of the honoree should be included with the donation.

Donors can also include their Email address if they would like to become part of a Crown Point Central School alumni directory.

“We will be buying seven banners, which will allow us to list all MVAC (Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference) and Section VII championships,” said McGinniss, herself a 1980 Crown Point grad. “These new banners will also allow us to add any additional championship title received in the future for a minimal cost.”

TICONDEROGA — Present and future scientists will display their talents during the annual Ticonderoga Science Expo/Science Fair.

The event will be held Wednesday, March 27, 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Ticonderoga Middle School and will include elementary, middle school and high school students.

Directed by teachers Janet Mallon and Paul Jebb, the fair/expo will feature a wide variety of work. Taking part will be Michelle Stahl’s eighth grade physical science class, Shelly Young’s fifth grade class, Mallon’s eighth grade Regents Living Environment class and Jebb’s high school chemistry classes.

“The goal of the science fair is to showcase the work students did in a presentation board that shows the scientific procedure students went through to test a hypothesis,” Mallon said.

“The topic was chosen by the students.

Those eighth grade students also had to create a written report.”

Revitalization Alliance job training program touted Registration deadline March 25

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Area employers are being urged to take advantage a new job training program in Ticonderoga.

The Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance has announced it will join with other local businesses and agencies to offer a nationally-recognized employment training program. National Work Readiness, National Retail Federation & Customer Service Credential classes will be held in April and May. The deadline to register is March 25.

While the course will benefit those seeking work, it will also help people who already have jobs, according to Chattie Van Wert, alliance director. She’s urging local businesses to send their employees to the program.

“By the time an employer has advertised openings, accepted applications, checked references, conducted interviews and vetted each potential new hire to the tune of $2,600, as a business person, I want to know that the person I hire has a good chance of succeeding over the long term,” Van Wert said. “The NWRC really helps to minimize the turnover rate."

Classes will be held six consecutive Fridays, beginning April 12, 1 to 4 p.m. at the North Country Community College campus in Ticonderoga. People must attend all classes in order to take the certification test May 22 and 23 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The program will include OSHA 10 certification. That testing will be May 20 and 21 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There is no cost to qualified participants.

For more information and to register call Joyce Marinelli at OneWorkSource at 873-2341.

Everyone who completes the course will be guaranteed an interview with a Ticonderoga-area employer.

Tamara Evens, director of human resources at Inter-Lakes Health, sees value in the NWRC training.

“When we entered the workforce as new employees, we might have been prepared for the work itself, but did we really understand what it meant to be an employee?,” she asked.

“Did we understand the value of being on time, listening to the needs of others or focusing on our customers? The NWRC addresses the soft skills needed to succeed in the workforce such as workplace etiquette, personal accountability and customer service. Because all business is customer driven, these skills are essential to the success of employees and organizations alike.”

Patty Allen, director of human resources at Mountain Lake Services, also supports the program.

“The NWRC is an added bonus toward our investment in quality services at Mountain Lakes Services,” she said.

Before sitting for the course, each candidate will be assessed for baseline math, reading comprehension and problem-solving skills, Van Wert said. Employees not meeting the baseline standards wil be referred to remedial resources prior to taking the NWRC course.

TICONDEROGA — The Kiwanis Club of Ticonderoga was recently awarded a $2,000 grant from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield – Community Health Awards.

The grant to Kiwanis will be used to purchase food from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY to be distributed to needy children for the weekends through a BackPack Program.

“This is a new initiative started this year,” said John Bartlett, Kiwanis president. “Kiwanis is working closely with Ticonderoga Central Schools to send young children from Ticonderoga Elementary School home for the weekends with backpacks filled with nutritious, shelf-stable and easily prepared foods.

The initial roll-out of this program was for the weekend of Jan. 18 – 20 for 30 deserving kids.

“The hope is to be able to grow and expand this program to be able to provide additional food for more and more childrenin-need,” Bartlett said. “The cost to sponsor one child in this weekend nutrition program for an entire school year is only $167. Donations to this very worthy cause are tax-deductible.”

Pertains to Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge Models only.

“This helps employers assess and prepare more marginal employees to be much more successful over time,” she said.

Matthew Courtright, executive director of the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, said the job training is a great asset for local employers.

“The NWR and National Retail Federation and Customer Service Credential gives employers the advantage of knowing that their employees have the base skills to be successful both at entry level, and as they advance in their career,” he said. “I truly believe this program can have a great benefit to employers, individuals and the community as a whole.”

Ti mill outage planned HAZMAT training held

By Rich Redman

Annual event begins April 7

denpubs@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA — The 2013 annual outage at International Paper ’s Ticonderoga mill is scheduled to begin April 7 and continue over the following three weeks. During this time new equipment will be installed, repairs made and inspections completed. More than 700 contractors are expected to be on site during the outage.

Preparation for the outage is in full swing. During a recent annual outage preparedness review, the mill hosted groups from IP Corporate Technology and Center of Excellence. The mill team presented detailed outage plans, including schedule, budget, contractors, manpower, quality assurance, environmental plans, safety plans and capital projects.

Following the day-long session, Annual Outage Coordinator Dan Diehl commented, “We are committed to delivering a safe, on-time and successful outage and I greatly appreciate the excellent planning and preparation that is taking place to assure our success.”

During the outage area residents may be aware of increased noise from steam venting and vehicle and equipment alarms. Mill officials said they will do everything on our part to minimize noise.

“The mill’s annual outage has a significant economic impact on area businesses,” said Donna Wadsworth, IP spokeswoman. “The hospitality shown to visiting contractors in our community is greatly appreciated.”

PUTNAM — Hazardous Materials, HAZMAT, response teams, from both Essex and Washington counties trained together March 9 at the Putnam Volunteer Fire Department.

These specialized teams are comprised of volunteer firefighters from local fire departments who train in chemical, ordinance, radiation and biological hazards along with fuel spills, propane leaks, and transportation accidents involving unknown substances.

Emergencies of this type can be beyond the capabilities and duties of regular fire departments.

Technicians wearing level A, total containment suits, which provide a self-contained breathing apparatus, and chemical splash protection completed mock scenarios where an unknown powder was analyzed using the Smith HAZMAT 360 Identification system and the Entry Link camera, which allowed live communications between the entry search team and the command center.

Once the substance is identified, the proper containment and handling methods can be followed based on standard operating procedures for that substance. Safety of the team members is the number one priority, followed by scene safety and property conservation.

By counties training together, a regional bond between departments is created. Training for fire, weather or hazardous materials emergencies is an on-going initiative for both counties.

Doug Thatcher, chief of the Putnam Fire Department, and Essex County HAZMAT member provided the training facility and coordinated the event for the teams.

Times of Ti Editorial

Gag order doesn’t serve the public good

T

his last Friday, Mark Streb, an aide of Gov. Andrew Cuomo visited the Warren County Board of Supervisors to present a proclamation honoring Warren County on the 200th anniversary of its founding.

Streb stood up to the microphone and read the bicentennial proclamation. Minutes later, a Denton editor approached him, asking whether he had chatted with Cuomo before the trip to Queensbury, whether the governor had any personal message, and when the aide last saw the governor.

Streb declined to answer any of the questions, although they were innocuous — and even though the governor would only gain good publicity from forthright answers.

The aide’s response was not only frustrating, but it indicated a troubling trend in the Cuomo administration that deserves our attention.

This incident is the latest in a series of situations demonstrating that Cuomo seeks total control information that reaches the public — and that government employees are fearful of their political bosses.

Since the early years of the Pataki administration, government employees have been instructed to re-route press inquiries to departmental media representatives who concoct answers.

Skilled reporters, however, don’t want second- or third-hand information contrived by public relations employees whose chief objective is to make their bosses look good. Responsible reporters, adhering to a principle of informing the public, seek facts from sources with first-hand knowledge of a situation or topic.

Under previous administrations — of George Pataki, Eliot Spitzer and David Paterson — state officials have looked the other way when government employees have talked with the press.

Not so with the Cuomo cadre.

State Department of Transportation engineer Mike Fayette, who was charged with overseeing state roads and infrastructure in Essex County, talked to a reporter last autumn about the department’s response to Hurricane Irene.

It was reportedly innocuous, complimentary remarks made to reporter Mike Lynch of the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.

Nevertheless, Fayette was served with a disciplinary notice because DOT Commissioner Joan McDonald had wanted to make the comment herself. Fayette was notified he was fired from his post. Then when he protested the state’s action, he was accused of insubordina-

tion, misconduct and incompetence.

Fayette later retired rather than fight the charges, ending early a 30-year dedicated career.

The state’s actions against Fayette were not only reprehensible, but they demonstrate a substantial abuse of power on behalf of our state’s executive branch.

Yet the Fayette case is only the tip of the iceberg concerning Cuomo’s throttlehold on information to which the public should have access.

Not only are government employees not talking because they fear for their jobs, but the state government spokespeople — who have less knowledge and expertise than their on-the-job peers — have been routinely ignoring or procrastinating on answering media inquiries.

When these spokespeople do return calls, they aren’t fully informed on the situation at hand, they don’t fully answer the questions asked, or they rely on a lot of “spin” rather than facts.

We at Denton Publications have experienced the above problems, and reporters across the state have also.

Another example of Cuomo excluding the public inappropriately from governmental processes was how he invoked a “Message of Necessity” to rush the SAFE Act gun control bill through the state Legislature without allowing our elected representatives nor the public appropriate time to consider the measures.

Our government should be both responsive and responsible to the people. Citizens should be armed with accurate information so they can hold government leaders accountable for their actions.

To this end, Governor Cuomo should follow the example of his father, Mario Cuomo — who when in power, had no fears about public access to information.

It’s time for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to follow in the footsteps of his father and loosen his grip on the flow of information.

We at Denton Publications believe that government should work for us and be open and forthright with the facts. Information about government operations and activities should not be restricted merely to a laundered version of the facts — or no information at all.

We believe those in power should allow, with minimum restrictions, government employees to communicate freely with the media. It’s a hallmark of democracy.

Optimism is a gift

I

worry at times about using this column too often to complain about a variety of topics that, seem to me, have our country going in the wrong direction. In expressing an opinion, my goal is to offer an issue of concern and provide an optimistic alternative.

Optimism, like sunlight, creates growth. Americans have always thrived on an optimistic vision of our future. No matter what disappointments, failures or challenges we faced in the past, we knew that if we work hard, stay focused and press forward we can turn the tide for the better. It’s this very sense of American optimism that attracts so many to our shores. It’s the one intangible asset that Americans sometimes take for granted.

Our past is full of failures, but history confirms that from our perseverance we’ve grown from the opportunity and found a constructive way to use the failure to better our nation.

Perseverance takes discipline and with a never-say-die attitude, our nation and her people have found creative ways to correct the errors, and chart a course that has made us the envy of the world. With optimism, citizens must recognize that it’s within their reach to accomplish anything they choose. For more than 200 years, American immigrants wanted nothing more than the freedom to pursue their dreams and faith and make a better life for their children and themselves.

With that thought in mind, I was surprised last week when Scott Rasmussen, the man behind the Rasmussen Surveys, warned us in his weekly column to beware of the new elites who are rewriting the rule book, so that special privilege takes the place of hard work.

“The United States is supposed to be a land of opportunity where everyone can pursue their dreams,” he wrote. “But those on top today are busy rewriting the rules to limit entry into their club.”

Rasmussen quotes Megan McArdle, who calls them the new mandarins and they think they know what’s best for the rest of us. As a pollster who constantly has his finger on the pulse of the population, Rasmussen is in a position to foresee changes in public opinion that foretell a shift in public attitude.

As Americans, we’ve always had an independent spirit. We need leaders who share those views, leaders who encourage optimism, hard Dan Alexander work and farThoughts from reaching Behind the Pressline dreams. If we ever reach the point where we give up our dreams and allow others to dictate our future, we will have relinquished the very core of our being and the concept that our nation was built upon.

In Patrick Henry’s speech in 1775 in front of patriots like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, he convinced the Virginia House of Burgesses to pass a resolution to deliver Virginia troops to join the Revolutionary War when he said, “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

The vision for this nation and the great experiment in freedom was unique in that era. One needs to understand and appreciate how truly revolutionary this bold move was and continues to be even in this age.

We must constantly be on guard to insure that we never allow our freedoms to be eroded. Our Forefathers understood what they were fighting for and we must never allow that fiery, independent spirit to be extinguished. As we’ve benefited from the generations that came before us, we too must honor the commitment to liberty that we owe to those who come long after us. Our lineage is their inheritance and the union we secure today will preserve the promise and the optimism they will enjoy for generations to come.

We need to look no further than the mirror when we ask ourselves, “Will the next generation be better off than we are today?“ If the answer is no, then we’ve got work to do and we better get down now while the opportunity still exists.

Opinion • Times of Ti - 7

Letters to the Editor To the Times of Ti: By his own admission Dan Alexander, the CEO of Denton Publications, is not a CPA, accountant or lawyer! After reading his editorial in last week’s Times of Ti I have to wonder if he was being truthful. If he is being truthful with regard to not being a CPA, accountant or lawyer one must wonder if our politicians read his well-worded editorial? He uses common sense remedies to get our country back on the road to recovery and accomplishes it by starting at the top.

Chopping away at our debt by starting at the White House and Congress makes perfect sense and who would argue with seeing our legislators in Washington take a 10 percent cut in pay for starters! Asking federal employees to take a 5 percent cut for a few years and not laying off anyone should be an easy call. Getting Fortune 500 companies that pay zero federal income taxes should be a priority.

I wrote our president and asked him to rethink SimpsonBowles, as I believe its reforms will bring our country back to prosperity! It will take sacrifice on everyone’s part but it is the only way.

I plan to ask Mr. Alexander if I can copy his editorial and send it to our elected representatives and President Obama, as they may not have read it! We have to light a fire under our elected representatives to get them to act. As Edward Bulwer-Lytton once coined “The pen is mightier than the sword”! I urge every citizen to pick up your pen and write to your legislator letting him/her know we are tired of gridlock and non-action! We want a plan such as put forth by Dan Alexander and Simpson Bowles and we want it carried out now! We are willing to sacrifice together as a nation and together we can overcome any obstacle as we have done since the beginning of this great republic! God Bless America and thank you Mr. Alexander!

For shame!

Ti firefighters busy To the Times of Ti: February continued to be a busy month for the Ticonderoga Fire Department. First, our thoughts and prayers go out to the Merfeld family who lost their house to fire.

We responded to 17 emergencies including: house fires (two), motor vehicle accidents (two), EMS assists (three) and 10 other miscellaneous emergencies. Our membership totaled 281.8 man hours for all emergencies. In addition to responding to the emergencies we conducted four training drills that totaled 204 man hours. Throughout the month all members obtained firefighter physicals to comply with mandated OSHA requirements.

As always we are looking for new members and applications can be obtained on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7 p.m. or contact any member for more information.

With spring quickly approaching we strongly encourage everyone to please stay off the ice on the lakes as it is unsafe.

For shame! Shame on Congress for not doing their job. We elect our senators and representatives to govern our country, but instead they fight and bicker amongst themselves,

To the Times of Ti: Vacations and illnesses made for light attendance at the March meeting, but it did not prevent our recognizing the successes that occurred in all the events in which we were involved during the Beste Scholarship Weekend, crowned by the Polar Bear Plunge and followed by another successful Chili Bake Off. Our leaders are now working on the many care and maintenance issues that will move us from winter into spring and then summer. As soon as weather allows you will see hoses being tested at the town park, and our fire/rescue boat should be in the water as soon as the north basin is free of ice.

Two issues that are critical to any volunteer fire department are manpower and financial support. The Hague Volunteer Fire Department always welcomes potential new members at any level. Drivers and EMTs are particularly needed at this time. See any member or come to a meeting on the first Monday of any month if you would like to check us out. Our financial needs have been spelled out many times in the past. If you did not have a chance to respond to our year end appeal, perhaps the beginning of the year would be a good time. Your gift would not go unappreciated.

Early boaters remember, if your craft is under 20 feet, all on board must wear certified PFDs. Joe McCranels Information Officer Hague Volunteer Fire Department

Alexander has right approach

accept donations (bribes? payoffs?) from special interest groups and big business and give themselves a raise every year.

Now that sequestration will take effect who will pay the price? The poor and powerless will pay. People on medicare and medicaid. People who need food stamps. People who can’t afford to heat their homes. People who stand ready to defend America will be asked to take 20 days off without pay.

Will Congress take 20 days without pay? Not a chance!

Every member of congress should be handed a pink slip and told to clean out their desk. If they are not doing their job, then they should be fired. Would private industry tolerate such poor performance? Not in my company!

Our national political system is shot. It’s a system of the greedy, by the greedy and for the greedy, and if you can’t buy your way in you may not participate. It is time to get the gold bricks out of Washington. It’s time to bring in real leaders — people who care about their fellow Americans and where this country is going.

Literacy awareness program scheduled Ti chamber to host March 26 event

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The ability to read is a key factor in finding employment.

With that in mind, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce will host a community awareness event Tuesday, March 26, 4 to 6 p.m. at its office at 94 Montcalm St. The program will be presented by Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties.

“This event will raise awareness of adult literacy education in our communities and across the nation,” Maria Burke, director of literacy volunteers, said. “People can come find out what types of programs we offer, who we serve, and how you can turn a page in your neighbor ’s life by increasing their reading skills.”

Light refreshments will be available for all those in attendance. Literacy volunteers will also have free giveaways.

Chamber members, the business community and Ticonderoga area community members are all welcome to attend this outreach event.

“We are happy to partner with Maria and literacy volunteers as a committed community organization and TACC member,” Matthew Courtright, chamber executive director, said. “We encourage community members, business and organization leaders to stop by the chamber office to learn more about the services provide by literacy volunteers and the difference they make in the community as well as support their efforts.”

Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties recognizes the importance of providing skills training, employ-

ment opportunities, and resources for those currently seeking employment, Burke said.

“Many of those searching for work also lack the basic literacy skills to be successfully employed and self-sufficient,” Burke said. “By participating in the workforce training and education with the Ti-Alliance, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, CV TECH, the North Country Workforce Investment Board, OneWorkSource and many other community partners, literacy volunteers can support low-literacy learners by providing a trained volunteer tutor who will help them improve academically.”

For more information on the literacy program or the workforce development initiatives for the Ticonderoga area contact the Matthew Courtright, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, executive director, and Maria Burke, dichamber at 585-6619 or chamber- rector of Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties discuss a community awareness event Tuesday, info@ticonderogany.com.

Putnam soldier concludes career Pilot takes final flight

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PUTNAM — As Chief Warrant Officer Tom Bain brought his plane to a rest Feb. 22, the aircraft was sprayed by ground crews.

No, it wasn’t an emergency landing. It was Bain’s last flight.

“Our aviator tradition is to soak down the plane and pilot as they taxi in after their final flight,” the Putnam native explained.

“Fire trucks spray water high into the air over the aircraft and it cascades down in a dense shower. As I exited the plane, I was greeted by a soaking by sparkling grape juice — a change made from the normal champagne for my benefit as I no longer drink alcohol.”

Bain, a Ticonderoga High School graduate will officially retire after 23 years in the Army June 30. Feb. 22 was his last flight as a pilot-in-command.

It’s been a great career, he said.

“We soldiers hear over and over again how a grateful nation thanks us for our service,” Bain said. “I want to take this opportunity to thank people for their generous support. While deployed overseas I have received many years worth of Christmas packages and cards from complete strangers and Valentine cards from an entire fourth grade class of school children. I have been greeted

at airports by throngs of people welcoming soldiers home from various combat zones. I also have been given thanks by strangers for my service while waiting in the checkout line at stores while in uniform. Thank you for your kind words.”

Bain enlisted in the Army in 1985 after graduating from Ticonderoga High School.

He became an Apache helicopter mechanic serving in Fort Hood, Texas, and Illesheim, Germany.

He then left the Army, temporarily, to attend college in Buffalo before re-enlisting in 1993 to pursue his dream of becoming a helicopter pilot.

“In 1994 I attended the Warrant Officer Candidate School at Fort Rucker, Ala., followed by helicopter pilot training at the same location,” he said. “At the time of my retirement, I will have been a pilot for the Army for over 19 years. In that time I served as a scout pilot flying a Kiowa Warrior, a MEDIVAC pilot flying a UH-1 Huey and a fixed-wing pilot (airplane) in the military intelligence community.”

Bain has served in Fort Hood and Fort Bliss, Texas, Fort Drum and the Republic of South Korea. He has served combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, and hazardous duty tours in Central and South America.

Army tradition allows pilots to make their final flight one of their own choosing.

“I decided to take my final flight out over the Grand Canyon in Arizona,” Bain said. “I

had never seen the Grand Canyon and it is within easy flight distance of my Army base at Fort Bliss (El Paso, Texas). It is a majestic sight. Even from 16,000 feet the canyon’s vivid colors and grand scale are apparent. It made for a memorable last flight.

“As I made my final trip as an Army pilot, I thought back to my first flight. I recall Mr. Daughtry, my instructor, flying us out to a huge field near Fort Rucker, Ala., and after briefly describing how the controls worked he let me have them. That UH-1 helicopter reacted like a bucking bronco. I was all over the place as Mr. Daughtry calmly sat there and let me struggle with the aircraft. After what seemed like an eternity, he took over again and settled everything down. He was calm and reassuring when he stated that even though I had no tangible control touch at that time that we had not crashed and that was a good start.

“I would get better as the year went by, and one of my proudest moments was when they pinned those Aviator Wings upon my chest,” he said. “I now wear Master Aviator Wings and still find adventure in every flight, just not as exciting as that first one.”

As Bain nears retirement, he’s appreciative of the support he’s received from family and others.

“The service to my country is not a solo event,” he said. “I have to give great credit to my wife of 20 years, Christine, and my children, Tommy and Caitlin. Without their

Tom Bain support, a career in the military would not have been possible. I am eternally grateful for the support they gave me throughout the years and am sorry for the sacrifices and challenges they faced in my many absences.

“In all my time in the military, I never felt any animosity or disrespect from the American public I served,” he added. “While my retirement paperwork will say thank you from a grateful nation, I believe that sentiment goes both ways. Thank you, from a grateful soldier.

“I look forward to the challenges ahead, and thank everyone back home for their support throughout the years,” Bain said. “It has been a great flight.”

Ticonderoga from page 1 Judges will rank the displays and presentations with awards given to the top three displays. The winners will be placed on display outside of the middle school main office. “The science expo’s goal is to showcase projects that fifth grade, eighth grade Regents science students and high school Regents chemistry students have created,� Mallon said. “Fifth graders this year are concentrating on using the Scientific Method. Eighth grade Regents students will have a variety of projects centered around explaining the science behind a common phenomenon.

Chemistry students needed to come up with a project dealing with the chemistry of food. Samples will be available.�

The science fair has been a staple at the middle school for decades. Last year the science expo was added. “The science expo is the brain child of Paul Jebb,� Mallon said. “We are trying to tie together all buildings in the dis-

trict in an effort to show case and spark interest in science. Science can be fun. We are hoping that parents and other community members will come to the schools to see what the students of the district do.�

In conjunction with the science expo/science fair, Ti Middle School students will hold a bake sale to raise money for a College For Every Student project. Students are raising money to visit their counterparts in Hawaii as part of an exchange program through CFES. “The Hawaiian students are visiting our school March 18-22 and are funded through university monies in Hawaii,�

Mallon said. “Our students need to raise their own funds in order to fly to Hawaii and pay for food there. If there are enough funds raised, students from our district will travel to Dole Middle School to experience the Hawaiian culture and visit schools and colleges there next year. “March 27 will be a very busy night and we hope that the community will take advantage of the event to see what is happening in our science programs,� she said.

Crown Point author releases book

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — A Crown Point author has drawn on her experiences as a child to pen a book.

Jean Arleen Breed has written “The New Kid,” her fourth book. “‘The New Kid’ relates memories of Grover Hills, Mineville, Moriah, Witherbee, Westport and Port Henry as it tells the story of a young girl who went to five different schools and lived in five different towns during the 1950s and 1960s,” Breed said.

“The book has over 100 historic photographs of the people and the places that existed in Grover Hills, Mineville, Moriah, Witherbee, Westport and Port Henry during that time period.”

The book is published by Bloated Toe Publishing of Peru.

“The story is told through the eyes of a young girl growing up,” Breed said. “The book is a glimpse of life as it was in Essex County 50 years ago and shares the photos, traditions and stories of local people and places in the small towns ‘The New Kid’ traveled through.

“In retrospect, all that moving around so much made me the self-sufficient person I am today, but at that time it was a challenge,” she added. “I was lucky, though — along the way I met so many wonderful people who taught me so much. Most of all, they taught me to just be myself and that would be enough.”

The book is available online at www.bloatedtoe.com, by Emailing info@bloatedtoe.com and by calling 5639469.

Breed can be reached at losthope.farm@bluemoo.net Breed’s third book, “Paper Girl,” was pub-

lished in 2012. It is a historical reminiscence that tells the story of a young girl delivering newspapers in Port Henry during the 1950s and 1960s.

“With 50 historic photographs of the people and the places that existed in Port Henry during that time period, this book takes the reader back to a simpler time and place in Essex County history,” Breed said. “This book will be a delightful trip down memory lane for folks who lived in the town of Moriah area back then.

“Poems from the Champlain Valley,” Breed’s second book was released in 2011.

It’s a collection of 100 poems depicting life’s journey, based on the experiences of the author.

“Among the subjects visited are the joys of childhood, the heart-shattering grief of death, the dedication of our soldiers, walks in the woods, the mysteries of life and the

Jean Arleen Breed true blessing of friendship,” she said.

“The Loss of the Lake Champlain Bridge” was also released in 2011. The first of Breed’s books, it recorded the struggles of those most deeply affected by the closure of the Crown Point Bridge and its subsequent destruction.

Essex County supervisors vote to repeal SAFE Act

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County residents packed the Old Essex County Courthouse March 18 as the Board of Supervisors voted to seek a repeal of the highly debated New York SAFE Act. Roughly 90 people packed into the meeting facility, filling the floor and balcony to address the board on its resolution to repeal the gun control law known as the SAFE Act before it made the decision to move forward with the resolution put forth by the SAFE Act Task Force one week earlier.

Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting first addressed the board and audience over concerns and issues he had with the law as enacted by the state Jan. 15.

"Guns have two enemies, rust and politicians," Cutting said.

"The makers of this law really don't understand weapons and did not look for people who did."

Cutting referred to a pair of similar-caliber rifles that were both not defined and defined as an assault weapon.

"They carry the same ammunition. They have the same ballistics. They both do the same thing," Cutting said. "The only difference in these weapons are looks. We are scared by a black gun that looks menacing."

Don Sage, president of the Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club, said he felt the county should go further with their resolution.

"There are counties that have said they will not spend any money to enforce the law and I would encourage the county to do the same and commit that you will not spend any money on this law," Sage said. "You should not spend anything on this stupid law.

There has to be a way to pick on the criminals than pick on the law-abiding criminals."

Bruno Mazzotte of Moriah Center said that state residents cannot buy many of the rifles that are now made.

"The SAFE Act is going to stop New York residents from buying 75 percent of the weapons that have been made in the last 100

years," Mazzotte. "The politicians are doing everything they can to prevent us from our Constitutional freedoms. Do not let them."

"Unfortunately, this is becoming an upstate and downstate issue and that is unfortunate," former Essex Supervisor Ron Jackson said. "Not everything in there is bad, but the way that it was passed was bad. If they had gone through the proper procedures and been vetted, like you did, we would have a very different law."

"They did more due diligence than what they served up down in Albany," John Sharkey of Ticonderoga countered. "I take exception to those who said not enough time was put into this. It was more time than the governor ever gave to this in Albany."

"Let' do something that prevents the United States from being ranked as the country that has the most people in prison and the most deaths from firearms," Harrison Caner of Keene said. "Let's do something that cuts down on the availability of these multiple-shot machine guns."

Pat McBride of Ticonderoga said that he was tired of the state "nanny-ing" its residents.

Win Belanger of Willsboro said that he has sold many of his weapons or given them away because of the new law.

"So you do not need to come to my house anymore because I only have a one-round thing. It's called a bazooka," Belanger joked. "We need a law. We do not need this law. The person who is going to break into my house, come into my school or enter a military base, we are not going to stop them with this law."

Belanger is also a staffer of State Assemblyman Dan Stec, who has fought against the SAFE Act and has a petition on his Facebook Page to repeal the law.

"Our legislators that work for us did not support this," said Belanger, referring to Stec along with Assemblywoman Janet Duprey and Sen. Betty Little.

"I feel that this conversation is very important," Michael Rice of Crown Point said. "When we took our son to the pediatrician, they asked if we had guns in the home. I asked them why and they said it was a psychological question. I have a degree in psy-

chology, and it was not a psychological question; it was a personal question that infringed on my rights."

After public comment, Board Chairman Randy Douglas then asked members of the board if they wished to comment.

"I do not think that it is so much about the content as it is about the process in the way that this bill was passed," Tom Scozzafava said. "The state passed a law that towns have to put their agenda's online to let people know what is going on and then the state does this with no public notice or public hearing."

"Here, we didn't have the process," Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington. "What we have here is what I call pasty pudding, and pasty pudding always gets poured out."

"I have not had anyone ask me not to repeal this and I have talked to State Police, veterans, teachers and others speak to me about this," Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said. "I have to vote to repeal this because it needs changes."

"I support the repeal because this law was not observed by the democratic process and it does not do anything to curb the violence that we are talking about," Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney said. "I also think that we should help to be part of the solution and not the problem."

"I think that this is a matter of the camel getting his nose under the tent," Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said. "We cannot let this process go downhill like this, and I will vote to repeal this."

In the end, the board voted to pass the resolution by a 2,552268 margin (weighted voting), with Connell and Hatch voting against the resolution.

In passing their resolution, Essex County became the 50th county in New York state to pass a resolution against the SAFE Act. Albany, Broome and Sullivan counties have proposed resolutions against the law, while lawmakers in Tompkins County were planning to introduce a similar resolution March 19.

Counties that have not undertaken SAFE Act legislation include Westchester, Bronx, New York, Richmond, Kings, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk.

Ziti fundraiser set for Mineville woman battling cancer

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com LEWIS — Friends of Mineville resident Lorraine Bergeron are holding a special baked ziti dinner fundraiser for her with raffles and silent auctions from 4 to 8 p.m. on March 30 at the Lewis Fire Department, 18 Fire House Lane.

Just after Thanksgiving, Bergeron started going to the doctors for tests and biopsies and just before Christmas she was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, or stage three breast cancer.

“She has to go through eight treatments over 16 weeks,” said friend Jessica Podmore. “Right now she’s half way through.”

Bergeron is currently undergoing four months of chemotherapy at Charles Wood Cancer Center in Glens Falls.

When she goes to treatment, she and Podmore stay at a friend’s home in Glens Falls. Podmore said the two travel to Glens Falls at least once a week. After chemotherapy is completed Bergeron, will undergo surgery to remove cancerous cells.

After surgery, she will have to undergo radiation for five days a week for six weeks.

Though insurance covers Bergeron’s medical expenses, she has had to stop working a Wise Guys Sports Bar & Grill in Lake Placid, where she has worked for four years. Her doctor predicts she will remain unable to work for at least a year.

“The fundraiser will help

pay for a mixture of everything. She can’t work and the travel to Glens Falls every week gets pricey,” said Podmore.

“We’re all more like family than friends. We want to do this for her.”

The event has been organized by Bergeron’s friends: Podmore, Laura Borden Pond and Cindy Lawson.

Bergeron is a mother to five daughters: Leanne, Leslie, Laura Lee, Diamond and Nichole. She is no stranger to surgery. In 1985, she was a kidney donor for her father. Though her father has since died, she said Bergeron feels her father is still supporting her and walking beside her.

Bergeron raised her children in the Elizabethtown and Lewis area, and she has lived in Mineville for the past year.

The dinner will include Chinese and silent auctions and raffles with a variety of different baskets with candles, garden supplies, wine and cheese, bath products and more. Gift certificates to various restaurants and stores in the area will also be available.

The dinner will cost $10 per person. For more information, call Podmore at 532-0059 or to submit a donation send it to Lorraine Bergeron, P.O. Box 365, Mineville, NY 12956.

Mineville woman pleads guilty to grand larceny Meagan M. Whitman, 29, of Mineville has pleaded guilty to felony fourth-degree grand larceny.

A former bookkeeper at Bryant’s Lumber of Moriah, Whitman pleaded guilty to embezzling from the business in Essex County Court March 14.

A plea agreement calls for her to be sentenced to six months in the county jail and spend five years on probation.

State police said Whitman took cash and supplies from the lumber yard between August 2008 and March 2010.

She was fired after the owners found inconsistencies in their financial records and called police.

According to the Essex County District Attorney’s office, Whitman took between $36,000 and $50,000 in money and building supplies.

ANDY CORCIONE A Business Bus Bu B usssi sin i Services Manager

Port Henry man guilty Joseph P. King, 44, pleaded guilty to felony third-degree arson and several misdemeanor charges as part of a plea agreement in Essex County Court March 14.

The misdemeanors are fourth-degree criminal mischief, obstructing firefighting operations, aggravated driving while intoxicated and two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment.

King will be sentenced to four to 14 years in state prison on May 16.

King set several fires around the village of Port Henry Jan. 2, 2012, including one that did more than $500,000 damage to Mountain Lake Services downtown office building and an adjoining structure.

King had been fired from his job as a residential-care aide by Mountain Lake Services in 2008.

A Return to the South Slopes F

ollowing last week’s spell of foul weather which threatened to wash away winter, it appears the season has rebounded.

Prior to this week’s storm, I had taken a trip south to Newcomb, with hopes that the south slopes of the High Peaks held snow.

Fortunately, I found few signs that winter was winding down in that town, and I discovered forests that were full of snow. There were also plenty of skiers and shoer ’s as well.

I had planned to enjoy a leisurely ski trip into Great Camp Santanoni with an old friend, but we discovered the trail was crowded with a host of similarly minded travelers, who were enjoying an open house at the Great Camp.

The annual event, hosted by the Adirondack Architectural Heritage, was also attended by a small press corps, and a number of state officials, including DEC Commissioner Joe Martens, Region 5 DEC Director Bob Stegeman and his Public Affairs Officer, Dave Winchell.

I got there before the crowd arrived, and I enjoyed speaking with George Canon, supervisor of Newcomb about the potential boom in state lands that may soon be available all around his small town.

Mr. Canon appeared optimistic that the former Finch Pruyn lands would benefit the local economy, and he also appeared confident the newly acquired lands would be able to provide reasonable public access for those seeking traditional pursuits such as hunting and fishing.

With the potential for having over 160,000 acres of new, wild lands on the doorstep, Newcomb may soon become the new hub of wilderness travel in the Adirondacks.

Surrounded by soaring peaks, raging waters, and a variety of small ponds and large lakes, Newcomb has always been a gateway to the big woods. I just hope it doesn’t get too busy, and on Saturday, it was.

After slogging along behind a long line of visitors, my friend and I slipped off on a side trail that led off away from the crowds, in the direction of Moose Pond, which according to the trail marker was about 7 miles distant.

Although neither of us had planned on a 14 mile, round trip day, the combination of great snow conditions and the lack of company, other than a friendly otter and a shy fisher, were just too much to refuse.

The trail provided a nice mix of long downhill runs, sweeping banked turns and just enough wildlife to keep it interesting.

However, as we got close to the pond, the winds picked up, and the sun was already well off to the west.

We stopped at a trail junction, which indicated it was only .2 miles to the pond, which we could clearly see through the open hardwood forest. And while we could see the ice, we both realized we had already covered a lot

of territory, and we had an equal distance to return.

It was a moment we each agreed, deserved a photo. The shots were taken, and soon, with a newly discovered discretion, we turned our older bodies around and followed a well, packed track back to the parking lot.

Tired, and just a bit sore, we both swore we’d do it all again as we got ready to set off in different directions.

And if the snow holds up, as it appears it will, we’ll be back at it again this coming weekend. While spring may have already sprung on the calendar, there is still plenty of winter to be had before I’m ready to pack away the ski poles and head off to the fishin’ holes.

Fortunately, the public is free to visit Camp Santanoni all year round, and they can also camp on some of the more than 12,000 acres which were once part of the private Pruyn estate. And best of all, there are easier ways to get there beyond skiing or hiking. The well maintained carriage road is serviced in season by horse and carriage, and it is open to bicycles as well.

AARCH also offers day-long guided tours of the camp in the summer months. For information about Camp Santanoni guided tours, call AARCH at (518) 834-9328 or (518) 582-5472.

For information regarding canoe, kayak, and mountain bike rentals, contact Cloud Splitter Outfitters, 28N, Newcomb, NY 12852, call (518) 582-2583 or email: olbert28n@yahoo.com For information on horse-drawn wagon rides into the camp, contact: David O'Donnell (518) 582-2360.

For local weather, ski conditions and ‘ice out’ information, call the Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb at: (518) 582-2000.

Armchair Angling Adventures While there are many anglers who simply can’t wait for ice out, there are a few lucky long-rodders who simply refuse to quit when the local lakes and streams are socked in by ice and snow. Where to they go for their thrills? To an armchair of course, preferably at the annual Drake Flyfishing Film Tour.

This year ’s event is scheduled for Saturday, March 23 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts and as always it will feature a collection of films that will transport audiences to the beautiful places where trout can be found. The Drake Festival is a benefit event sponsored by the Tri-Lakes Chapter of Trout Unlimited to aid in the protection and improvement of local and statewide coldwater fisheries. For tickets and information please contact, Wiley's Flies at 891-1829 or Jones Outfitters at 523-3468.

Ruffed Grouse habitat seminar planned MALONE — The Ruffed Grouse Society is looking to start a new chapter in northern New York. There will be a meet and great, and a habitat seminar March 27, at 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel in Malone.

If grouse and woodcock habitat enhancement is your thing, you will want to hear Mr. Tripp Way speak about the mission of the society and Andy Weik, the RGS regional biologist discuss forest habitat on private lands for Ruffed Grouse and the American Woodcock. The seminar is free and refreshments will be served. Contact Corey Bowen at 518521-4559 for more information.

Steve Harris ponders whether to continue to Moose Pond, or to turn back. Old age and wisdom, soon sent him on the trip back home.

Fly rods - DIY! O

ur Lake Champlain Trout Unlimited Chapter held its monthly meeting at the Gander Mountain store in Plattsburgh last week. Walt Trzcienski, the TU chapter president, opened the meeting.

Members spoke on how to build your own fly rod.

The discussions started with the history of fly rods.

Initial fishing rods were realBy Rich Redman ly tree branches or twigs. A string was tied to a thin willow, or other tree branch along with a hook made of bone and a feather tied to it. Progression then led to solid wood rods that were in sections. The tips being solid wood were fragile, so the butt end of the rod was hollowed out and a screw-on cover attached. The rod tips were kept in the handle or butt end protected. Replacement tips were made of bamboo. From solid wood rods came split bamboo rods which the speaker, Bruce Handley, preferred. After WWII, fiberglass was used, and then came graphite.

The advantages of building your own fly rod are cost. A new factory built rod may cost over $600, but a kit will be one-third to one-half of the cost for a top notch rod. Entry level kits start about $75, which is a bargain for the firsttime rod builder. Don Lee and Derrick Miller spoke about the rods they built, the materials such as varnish versus epoxy, single foot ceramic line guides, thread versus silk, how to get the perfect finish on the rod and the tools needed to complete a home grown fly rod. Along with the lower costs of the “do it yourself” rod kits, comes the enjoyment of catching a fish on a rod and fly constructed at the home work bench. Don has built 14 rods for himself, family and friends. Many were given away as gifts. His addiction seemed to have spread to the folks in attendance; I know I want to try it.

With the costs of quality new equipment reaching over $600 for a rod and reel package, building your own rod from a kit makes sense. Based on the variety of fly rods needed for different species of fish, such as a 2 to 5 weight rod for small trout streams, 6 or 7 weights for larger trout and bass, and 9 or 10 weights for salmon and steelhead things can easily get out of control. Then of course there are switch rods and spey rods which are two handed fly rods used also for salmon and steelhead. Let’s not even go into salt water rods and spinning rods. The costs can add up quick. Buying 3 or 4 high quality factory built rods could deplete the average working man’s wallet in short time, leaving little money left to get to a river or stream at $4 per gallon for gas!

So if you have an interest in saving some money, enjoy doing it yourself projects, and making a high quality fly rod that can be handed down to your grandchildren, this may be for you. There are books available on classic rods, and rod makers, and rod crafting. The internet also has web sites such as the rod building forum.com. Some anglers prefer the traditional bamboo rods, and others go for the newer graphite composites. It may be an age thing, like fine wines!

I think I would like to try the bamboo rod; I have graphite so this would be something new, now I just have to figure out what weight. Once again, there are too many choices.

Looks like I will have to build more than one. Like I need another addiction to enjoy!
