Crown Point Telephone expanding service CROWN POINT — Crown Point Telephone formed in 1896 when larger companies failed to meet the needs of local residents.

Now, 116 years later, the company is again stepping up to serve a neglected market.

Crown Point Telephone and its sub-

sidiary Crown Point Network Technologies has formed Bridge Point Communication. The new firm has just started installing fiber optic cable that will serve the Ticonderoga business community this fall.

“We’re very excited,” Shana Macey, Crown Point Telephone president, said. “Every person in our office is excited; you can feel it when you walk in the door. Everyone is involved in this project.”

Macey made the formal announcement during a Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce “After Business Mixer” March 15, which was held at the Crown Point Telephone office.

The fiber optic service will provide Ticonderoga businesses with state-ofthe-art internet and phone services, explained Tony Macey, Crown Point Telephone vice president of operations.

TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga Central School District employees have agreed to a pay freeze.

The district’s teaching, administrative and non-instructional staff have all agreed to forego salary increases during the 2012-13 academic year to help close a budget gap.

Ticonderoga was facing a nearly $2 million spending deficit for next school year, according to John McDonald, superintendent. The pay freeze along with $900,000 in other cuts has closed the budget cap to about $315,000, he said.

The salary concessions — which include pay, pension contributions and social security payments — total about $728,000.

“I’m very pleased, very proud of our employees,” McDonald said. “They’re putting kids first. We were looking at 17-21 staff cuts.

It would have had a tremendous negative impact on our students.”

Ti High celebrates TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High School students recently celebrated National Foreign Language Week.

The week began with French and Spanish culture trivia contests and foreign language broadcasts during the morning announcements.

Classroom activities included analysis of career opportunities for students who have a background in a foreign language, discussions on differing cultures around the globe and viewing of video clips from other countries.

The centerpiece of the week was the International Dinner. Students and parents contributed ethnic dishes from Mexico, China, Spain, France and Italy. Appetizers, main courses and desserts highlighted cooking and cuisine from many different countries.

French and Spanish students also mixed a punch beverage similar to Spanish Sangria.

Students listened to Spanish music during

the dinner.

Entertainment after the dinner was “Minute to win it,” a competition patterned after the television show of the same name.

Students had a minute to complete challenges involving balloons, tissue boxes, Oreo cookies and pyramids of soda cans.

The event winners were Corey King, Sean Smith, Quentin Austin, Maura Jebb and Matt Cook.

The National Foreign Language Week celebrations concluded with a World Cup style soccer game in the high school gym —France against Spain. Spanish students won the soccer game, 1-0. Senior Dennis Towne scored the winning goal.

Synthetic marijuana being sold in Ti, store owners urged to stop

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com

Doug Terbeek, executive director of the Substance Abuse Prevention Team of Essex County, said the sale of synthetic marijuana is common in convenience stores and gas stations in the Ticonderoga area.

Sarah Sandberg, a former student at ElizabethtownLewis Central School, has spoken publicly about her experience with synthetic marijuana. She suffered a seizure and was hospitalized.

has been laced with chemical substances that claim to mimic tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive active ingredient in marijuana, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

It’s sold as “herbal incense” and labeled “not for human consumption” to avoid Federal Drug Administration regulatory oversight.

That’s changing, though, according to Ter-

beek. He said the state legislature is considering a bill to make the substance illegal.

Until legislation is adopted, Terbeek is urging store owners to stop selling synthetic marijuana.

“Store owners are looking to make a profit,” he said. “It may be that they are unaware of the potential dangers. That’s something we’re working on.

TICONDEROGA — Mark Carson was stunned when he stopped in a Ticonderoga convenience store recently.

“They were selling synthetic marijuana, it was right there behind the counter,” he said. “I was in shock. This is terrible stuff and shouldn’t be sold to anyone.”

Carson, who had a family member go through drug treatment, asked the store owner to please stop selling the substance.

“Drugs are awful,” Carson said. “I’ve seen the damage they do. No family should have to go through that.”

Doug Terbeek, executive director of the Substance Abuse Prevention Team of Essex County, was not surprised to to hear Carson’s story.

Sale of synthetic marijuana is common in convenience stores and gas stations in the Ticonderoga area, he said.

“It’s around,” Terbeek, whose agency is based in Ticonderoga, said. “It’s legal, although very dangerous, and easy to get. When we talk to store owners we try to emphasize the dangers and ask them not to sell it.”

Synthetic marijuana is legally available under a number of names — K2, Spice, Kush, Paradise, Demon, Voodoo, Bayou Blaster and others.

The products consist of plant material that

“We want to be friendly neighbors,” Terbeek added. “We want to politely ask these folks to stop selling selling it voluntarily.”

The Port Henry Mobil sold the synthetic marijuana before learning of its dangers, Terbeek said.

“They stopped,” he said. “We appreciate their cooperation.”

Terbeek said stores in Ticonderoga and Crown Point are still selling the substance.

More than 11 percent of high school seniors have used the synthetic marijuana in the past year, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

Sarah Sandberg, a former student at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, has spoken publicly about her experience with synthetic marijuana. She suffered a seizure and was hospitalized. Sandberg is now part of a group, that includes Terbeek, trying to educate people about the dangers of the substance.

Use of the synthetic marijuana can cause agitation, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, rapid heart beat, elevated blood pressure, tremors, seizures, hallucinations and paranoid behavior, according to Office of National Drug Control Policy.

According to data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers, 2,915 calls were received relating to synthetic marijuana in 2010 and 5,741 calls in 2011. Poison control calls have increased nearly every month.

TICONDEROGA — Students want to be heard as the Ticonderoga Central School District struggles to close a $1.7 million budget gap for 2012-13.

“We understand the school board has an impossible job,” Jordan Woods said.

“They’re going to have to make cuts, but these cuts will affect us dramatically.

We want to have some input.”

That’s why the Ti High Student Voice, the student government, formed a budget committee. It’s members have met with Superintendent John McDonald and plan on attending board meetings throughout the budget process.

Woods serves on the student budget committee along with Karney Manning, Cody Henthorn and others.

“We talk to kids all the time and we’ve had one (student body) meeting to collect opinions and ideas,” Woods said. “We intend to make our opinions known to the board.”

The New York State tax cap, which takes effect this year, calls for a 2 percent limit on tax increases — although some aspects of school spending are exempt from the tax cap. In Ticonderoga that means taxes can

increase a maximum of $350,000 in 2012-13. That’s a 3.5 percent increase when exemptions are added in.

At the same time Ticonderoga has lost nearly $1.7 million that was available in 2011-12. Gone are $700,000 in state Excel aid, $310,000 in employee concessions, $300,000 in local fund balance, $180,000 in federal stimulus money and $87,000 from the employee retirement fund.

That means Ticonderoga will have to make serious budget cuts — cuts that worry students.

Manning said the top concerns are extracurricular activities and college prep courses. Students do not want those cut.

“We want the community and the board to know that if you take away extracurricular activities you’re taking away a big part of students’ lives,” Manning said.

Woods, Manning and Henthorn are all juniors who are concerned about the way cuts could affect their futures.

“When you apply to a good college they want to see a well-rounded student, someone who took part in sports, music, art and extracurricular activities,” Henthorn said. “They also want to see students who challenge themselves, who take the most difficult classes.

“If extracurricular activities and AP (advanced placement) courses are cut we won’t have the opportunity to show colleges what we can do,” he said.

Woods said students worry that cuts may be made without thinking about the consequences for students.

“I’ve heard a lot of irrational ideas,” he said. “People think you can just cut something without it having

an impact.”

Henthorn knows talk is cheap for people who are not yet taxpayers. He said students respect the sacrifices of local taxpayers, but desperately want to save their school programs.

“Just because we don’t pay taxes doesn’t mean we won’t feel the affects,” Henthorn said.

“There will be a time when we do pay taxes,” Manning said. “I hope we have the programs to help us get into good colleges and have good careers so that we can help the school in the future.”

A local school district can exceed the state tax cap with approval of 60 percent of local voters. McDonald doesn’t believe that’s realistic in Ticonderoga. Last year residents rejected the budget when it was first presented and passed it a second time by three votes.

Ticonderoga Fire District budget to be reviewed

The Ti High Student Voice, the student government, formed a budget committee to provide student comment on the district budget process. Committee members include, from left, Jordan Woods, Karney manning and Cody Henthorn.

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga town board has asked its attorney to review the local fire district budget to determine if it was adopted legally.

Ticonderoga Fire District

commissioners, though, are confident the budget meets all statutory requirements.

The 2012 fire district budget totals $323,590, which is a 22 percent increase — $59,040 — from the 2011 spending plan. The new state tax cap requires that any tax increase of more than 2 percent be approved by 60 percent of a governing body.

Fire commissioners Paul LaRock, Betty Mason, Larry Crammond and Calvin Cross voted to override the tax cap with Jason Parent absent.

“We did everything we were supposed to do,” LaRock said. “We filed with

the state comptroller ’s office. Everything is OK.” Maybe.

Once the fire district budget was adopted by commissioners it was given to the town board for inclusion in the town budget. The Ti town board, which kept the 2012 tax increase at less that 2 percent, did not adopt a measure approving any exception to the tax cap.

Since the town did not OK exceeding the tax cap and the fire budget is part of the town budget, was it OK for fire commissioners to up their budget by 22 percent?

“They are separate budgets,” LaRock contends. “The fire district is governed by

an elected board of commissioners. We did everything the right way.”

Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney believes fire commissioners acted properly, but wants to be certain.

That’s why the town board has asked the town attorney for an opinion.

“This is the very first time any of us had to deal with the property tax cap,” Malaney said of the 2012 budget process. “Even New York State couldn’t give us procedural directions. There was a lot of confusion. We want to be certain we’re OK.” LaRock said the fire district budget increased this year because of needed equipment purchases. The fire department needed new radio equipment because of a change in the Essex County dispatch system and firefighters needed to replace old hose at a price of $7,000 per 1,000 feet.

“We were at a point where we had to replace the hose,” LaRock said. “You’re supposed to replace the hose every 10 years, but we didn’t have the money to do it and still pay for the heat, electricity and other equipment.”

Malaney said she’s not concerned with the amount of the fire budget. She just wants to make certain proper procedures were followed.

“If that’s what it takes to protect our citizens, it’s a small price to pay,” Malaney said of the Ti fire budget. “I think out fire department does a wonderful job.”

Fort Ti receives grant

Fort Ti, Amtrak reach deal TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga and Amtrak will partner to connect people traveling between New York City and Montreal to the local historic site.

Amtrak will offer one free companion rail fare with the purchase of one regular adult rail fare, on the state-supported Adirondack line to and from Fort Ticonderoga April 1 through Oct. 31.

Customers need to purchase tickets a minimum of three days in advance and enter discount code V430.

The northbound Adirondack operates daily between New York City and Montreal, departing New York Penn Station at 8:15 a.m. and arriving in Ticonderoga at 1:17 p.m. The southbound Adirondack departs Montreal at 9:30 a.m., arriving in Ticonderoga at 2:33 p.m.

“The partnership with Amtrak will enable Fort Ticonderoga to reach a broader destination market from New York City to Montreal,” according to Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga executive director.

“As the nation’s inter-city passenger railway, Amtrak is delighted to support Fort Ticonderoga – America’s Fort,” said Kevin Chittenden, superintendent of Amtrak’s Empire District.

“We are excited to be part of Fort Ticonderoga’s educational mission and to help it serve as a catalyst for economic growth in the beautiful Adirondack region.”

Debra Malaney, Ticonderoga supervisor, said “The Town of Ticonderoga is delighted to see the partnering of Fort Ticonderoga and Amtrak. The fort has a major impact on both the local and region’s economy and this pairing will provide a wonderful opportunity to broaden our potential tourism market even more. This collaborative effort should have a direct impact on tourism and revenue into our community.”

Fort Ticonderoga opens for the 103rd season on Friday, May 18, and will offer new programs, events, exhibits, gardens and a six-acre corn maze designed in the shape of the fort. Visitors to the fort in 2012 will step back in time to the year 1775 as the newly-formed American army begins to repair and refortify Ticonderoga as the critical American stronghold on Lake Champlain.

Fort Ticonderoga will be open daily 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Vendors are still being recruited and past vendor participants are encouraged to join in this year ’s festivities. Incentives are offered for vendors who reserve and pay early. Registration received and vendor fees paid by April 1 are at a discounted rate of $40 per 10 x 10 space. After April 1 the registration fee is $50.

TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga has received a GO Grant allowing Rich Strum, director of education, to participate as a speaker at the New York State Conference on Social Studies to be held in Saratoga Springs in late March.

The grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency, and administered by Museumwise, will allow Fort Ticonderoga to continue an active dialogue with teachers from around the state.

“By participating in the New York State Conference on Social Studies Fort Ticonderoga is able to receive valuable feedback from teachers to help improve our programs for both educators and students,” said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga executive director. “We are committed to building a premier educational experience and learning campus.”

Recent Fort Ticonderoga learning opportunities included a 2011 National Endowment for the Humanities Grant for $165,000 which supported two week-long workshops for teachers from across the United States. A total of 80 teachers from across the country took part in the workshops, exploring "The American Revolution on the Northern Frontier: Fort Ticonderoga and the Road to Saratoga." Fort Ticonderoga will be eligible for another National Endowment for Humanities grant in 2013.

The fourth annual Conference on Colonial America for Educators will take place at Fort Ticonderoga on May 18. The day-long conference is for educators focused on Colonial American history and will include instruction on utilizing primary research, introduction to material culture, and sessions on incorporating Native American history and documentation related to the American Revolution on the Northern frontier.

For details visit http://www.fortticonderoga.org/learn/educators Fort Ticonderoga offers a variety of educational opportunities for students, including the National History Day program held on March 10 at the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center at Fort Ticonderoga.

A new line-up of field trip experiences await students in 2012 including the new “To Act as One United Body” program where students will experience the basics of being a soldier fighting for the Continental Army.

Viewpoint

Political squabbling hurts average Americans

C

ongressman Bill Owens, speaking recently in the City of Plattsburgh, said ideology prevents progress in Washington, D.C. The Republicans think they are right. The Democrats believe they are right. They each believe the other party is wrong, and that appears to be it ... period.

In fact, it seems as though it is more important to be right and to further certain ideological stances than to embrace reform and progress, especially if it comes from the wrong side of the aisle.

This refusal to work together is actually nothing new in politics, though considering the state of the nation, it is becoming increasingly frustrating and pathetic.

Consider the number of uninsured in the United States.

President Obama started out fighting for universal health care before settling for something much less and more problematic.

Now one does not have to agree with the president's plight to admit that the current state of health care in the country is a mess. Beyond the number of uninsured, those who have insurance available to them often cannot afford it, and while medicaid is available to the poor, finding doctors who accept it is a near impossible task, not to mention the difficulties that arise pertaining to what will and will not be covered.

Then there is public education.

The task of educating children has been growing increasingly more difficult over the past few years as aid shrinks and costs soar. Plus, taxpayers have been pushed to their limits, so schools have nowhere to turn to for rev-

enue.

As a result, school districts throughout the North Country and across the nation have been eliminating jobs and making painful cuts to programs, if not axing them altogether. In fact, many districts have done away with athletics, arts, extra-curriculars, programs for at-risk students and advanced classes for gifted students.

And this mess is merely in its infancy, because next year and the year after will likely be worse.

New York lawmakers claim they are becoming a model for the rest of the nation due to their bipartisan efforts ever since Gov. Andrew Cuomo took office.

Frankly, it's too early to tell, especially when this latest dose of so-called pension reform inspired equal cries of condemnation and celebration in a deal that appears to have partly been about bolstering legislators’ chances at re-election in the way of redistricting.

But what can be certain is that, given the current state of the nation in the wake of the Great Recession, the public cannot afford for lawmaker squabbling, egos and ideology to get in the way of much needed relief.

It is not a matter of who is right or wrong. It is a matter of what is right, for everyone.

Will this generation sink under college debt?

A

ccording to a recent USA Today report, student loan defaults are at their highest rate since 1998 and appear to be headed even higher going forward.

Perhaps in anticipation of high student loan defaults, the government has made it next to impossible to default on a student loan through the execution of a bankruptcy action. A curious move when consumers who spend unwisely and elect to

By Scot Hurlburt put themselves in bankruptcy and can sometimes gain relief from indebtedness through a bankruptcy action.

Peter Mazareas, Vice President of the College Savings Foundation stated that, “it is going to be a generational challenge in terms of current students who are maxing out their indebtedness.”

They are coming to grips with the unpleasant reality that they may be paying $1500 to $2500 a month in student loans. For the first time in America, student loan indebtedness has surpassed total credit card debt. Because college tuition has far outpaced inflation for the past 20 years, student borrowing has continued to increase and increased by an astounding 25-percent last year.

Parents have been a contributing factor in the college equation. Contributing parents may have lost their jobs or have had to retrain for jobs with lower salaries that have left them unable to assist with college debt.

Historically some parents took home equity loans in support of college and now with home value being downgraded they are less able and likely to take these loans.

In addition, parents may have lost substantial amounts from their retirement accounts when the stock market tanked. Now these same parents are trying to rebuild retirement accounts based on the premise that you can borrow from college you can’t borrow for retirement.

According to some figures, the average student is graduating with $30,000 in college loans and many will owe substantially more.

As these new graduates make their way into the work world, some will be carrying debt loads that are crippling given the lower salaries that they will command. There will be groceries to purchase, car payments, and rent fees and of course, a substantial student loan payment.A payment that could run between $300 and $700 a month minimally.

Given that the American economy is largely dependent on consumerism, what can we expect from this generation that is so hampered by debt already? If this generation is hobbled by debt will they contribute to a new or deeper recession? Will they put off buying a home, buying a car, starting a family because of onerous college debt?

There seems to be two camps on this issue of student loan indebtedness. One camp that proposes that there should be no accommodation in the student loan repayment issue and another that proposes a student loan bailout. In my estimation these positions represent the extremes on both sides of the issue.

Clearly, some accommodation will be needed in order to avoid mass student loan default.

Will these students be put in debtors prison, will they be considered criminals if they fail to pat their loans?

Unless some unforeseen events occur that change the current economic picture significantly record numbers will default on their student loans.

It may be possible to reconfigure loans to create a longer trajectory in satisfying the loan. Connecting loan forgiveness to address societal issues might be considered and delaying repayment may also improve the overall picture. I don’t believe that government can simply ignore or fail to act on this gathering storm.

I know that students and families want to pay back student loans; in fact, the system depends on loans being repaid so that the money can be lent out again. Everyone recognizes this; however, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

The bail out of Wall Street may for some, may have made the argument for student loan bail outs more plausible.

Remember, all kids count.

Letters to the Editor

Controlling invasive species is vital To the Times of Ti: The Lake George Park Commission has been investigating ways to prevent aquatic invasive species entering Lake George over the last few years. Several western states have instituted mandatory boat inspections in order to prevent invasive species from entering their lakes.

Lake Tahoe, which is similar to Lake George, estimates the economic impact to their area would be $22.4 million per year if the invasives were left unchecked. This analysis encompasses reduction in property values, recreational use, tourism loss, water supply impact and increased boat maintenance.

Last year, the management efforts to eradicate Asian clams, Eurasian Watermilfoil, Curly-Leaf Pondweed, etc. in Lake George approached $1 million.

In January, the full Park Commission voted to continue holding public invasive species prevention meetings every two weeks. Attendees include the general public, municipalities, environmental groups, DEC and marina owners. The short term objective is to implement a pilot boat washing program for vessels which are not "clean, drained and dry." This pilot boat washing program will be located in one site and will clean those vessels that are not "clean drained or dry." Other launch sites will operate as they did in 2011.

The pilot program will leverage the experiences from those lakes that have already implemented the inspection and vesselwashing process. We are also developing public information programs to convey the need for all lake users to be good stewards to help us all in the prevention of the spread of invasive species.

Our goal is to partner with marinas and other launch sites to prevent infestation.

There are plenty of lakes that are now infested that wish they instituted a boat inspection process at all their launches. In 2011, the trained boat inspectors in the Lake George Association’s lake steward program expanded their coverage hours at the six launch sites; they examined 8,593 vessels and removed 87 invasive species that otherwise would have infested the lake.

Lake George village and town boards, along with other towns whose properties have been directly affected, have voted to support mandatory inspections. The Park Commission will include an information flyer with the boat registrations describing the pilot inspection process to inform boat owners of any changes.

It is our goal, through public education and boat inspections, to prevent infestation in Lake George. We all need to help in this goal, and I thank you for your editorial in recognition of the problems we are attempting to manage.

Thanks for land use To the Times of Ti: Dear Landowners, On behalf of The Mountain Laker Snowmobile Club we would like to thank the landowners of Westport, Lewis,Willsboro

and Essex once again for opening up your land to us. With out your support we would not be able to exist.

This year we are required by The New York Snowmobile association to GPS our trails. With the lack of snow we were unable to complete this task by snowmobile. We would like to do this on a four wheeler as weather permits and leaving as small a foot print as possible. This will be a one time pass through your property. We hope to complete the GPS prior to June 1st. If it is not feasible for us to cross your property on a four wheeler please contact me at 962-4407 so we can make other arrangements.

Once again, thank you.

‘Open Mike’ To the Times of Ti: Our new town supervisor, Mike Marnell, brings to the Schroon town board meetings a refreshing warmth and openness that was non-existent at the many meetings I attending during the preceding 33 years.

Citizens who attend are now invited to bring up any issue they may wish to raise at the beginning of the meeting and again as the meeting draws to a close, and are permitted to speak on any issue under discussion as the meeting moves along.

Those who choose to speak are treated with respect.

As someone in attendance commented, we could call it an “Open Mike” meeting. The winds of change are upon us. Bravo Mike Marnell!

Spring safety stressed To the Times of Ti: It’s the law for small craft, but for anyone boating at this time of year, personal flotation devices and warm clothing just make sense. You should also let someone know where you will be going and for how long.

When working outside, always take two and think the job through.

EMS Capt. Renee and Asst. Capt. Meg would like to thank all the Hague EMTs who turned out to help make the Winter Festival Polar Bear Plunge a safe and successful one.

Our department would also like to thank all who supported our fireman’s breakfast and chili cook off as well.

General fire equipment training is ongoing and confined space training in relation to the sewer plant is up coming.

The contract renewal with E5, the agency which provides paid EMS coverage during the day, has been renewed and they will begin a seven-day, 12-hour shift in the near future.

We will be having a pig roast on April 28 as part of Volunteer Recruitment Week. Look for more details in up coming issue and on the Hague Chamber of Commerce web site.

In February there were 13 fire call using 19 man hours and eight EMS calls and one standby using 322.5 man hours.

The next meeting of the HVFD is Monday, April 2, at 7 p.m. at the Hague station. New members are always welcome.

Cutting sports, music, arts from budgets is a bad idea

A

ccording to one of our recent polls, the vast majority of people believe that sports should be removed from school budgets in order to help districts stay within tax caps.

So, it is now my turn to tell you why the majority of people are wrong.

Cutting sports is a flat-out idiotic idea, and the only people that I can see even thinking to take that step are those who were picked on by the jocks in school and thought, "One day, I will get back at all of them."

by Keith Lobdell Sports is as important to education as the arts and music. The problem is, these are also the top three choices on the poll.

Do these people not remember going to school? Do they not remember the fun that comes from getting a chance to participate in these activities? If they did, then they would remember that there is a lot of learning that comes from these endeavors.

Cutting sports will also make them more selective and class-driven than they already are. We know that, even if sports are taken out of school budgets, they will live on through boosters.

Boosters can't pay for everything, though, and the remainder of the cost will have to come from the participants. That means kids who may have played for the team but are financially unable to will not be able to play. That's a problem, as some kids may use sports as their only release from otherwise tough days.

The same can be said for music and arts programs. How can educators or school boards make these items selective for only those who can afford it? That does not seem like a fair way to do business.

Sports, music and arts were a big part of my life in school, and here is the big reveal — I was a benchwarmer in two out of the three sports seasons.

That's right, during the soccer and basketball seasons, I just sat there, cheered on my team, and actually enjoyed almost every minute of it. And I was a darn good baseball player.

I also was a member of the school chorus, jazz band and regular band, as well as a member of the drama club and public speaking teams.

There is no way I would have been able to do everything I was able to do in school if I (alright, my parents) had to pay for it. Not that I think they would not have been able to, but they would have wanted me to prioritize, probably based on ability, and select the ones that I was best suited for. That, of course, would have been upsetting.

I mean, let's be honest, why would you want to put hundreds, if not thousands of dollars into something like uniforms and equipment that will never have to be washed because it never gets used in a game? Again, you are making these programs more selective then they already are and denying students the opportunity to learn in a non-classroom setting.

Yes, I know that the main component of school is the classroom and the teaching that goes on there. That's where the learning — state-mandated learning, at least — happens.

But anyone who does not think learning happens with these other programs are truly not educated.

‘Fourth’ fund raising events slated Alumni tournament, dinner March 31

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com

TFCU cell phone drive concludes TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union has concluded its third annual cell phone drive.

The drive asked the public to donate their old cell phones and chargers as well as women’s clothing and toiletry items at TFCU’s three branch locations, throughout January and February.

Dozens of cell phones and several large bags of clothing were collected and donated to the STOP Domestic Violence Center of Essex County, where the cell phones will be turned into emergency 911 lifelines for victims of domestic violence.

“We’re extremely pleased to support this important agency in our communities through the generosity of our members,” said TFCU President and CEO Shawn Hayes.

The cell phones that are collected through TFCU’s drive serve about 50 clients annually. Any phones that are not given out by the end of the year are sent to Verizon for refurbishment, with proceeds from refurbishment being returned to the center to help support their program.

Anyone wanting to donate cell phones can mail them to Verizon’s Hope Line Project. A postage-paid mailing label is available in the Newsroom on TFCU’s website, www.tfcunow.com.

St. Mary’s School, Ticonderoga, celebrated Catholic Schools Week with a “Hats for Cancer” event. Students made a donation to wear a hat or ribbon during school. Adrian and Andrea Paige were joined by their mother, Casie. The proceeds went to the Foundation for Children with Cancer.

TICONDEROGA — “The Best Fourth in the North” is months away, but Ticonderoga will have an Independence Day feeling Saturday, March 31.

That’s when the “The Best Fourth in the North” committee will hold a pair of fund raising events. The annual Ticonderoga High School alumni basketball tournament will be played and the Ti Knights of Columbus will host a spaghetti dinner.

Both will benefit the annual July 4th celebration.

“Please join us as a spectator of the alumni basketball tournament and for a spaghetti dinner to support the ‘Best Fourth in the North’ celebration,” Debbie Barber, committee chairwoman, said.

“Without dedicated volunteers, supporters and the community the celebration would not be possible.

“The celebration costs between $26$30,000 and this fund raiser along with the fundraisers held throughout the year and donations from the community make it all possible,” she said.

The alumni basketball tournament has been a popular Ticonderoga event for years.

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

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

This year ’s tourney will begin at noon.

All players are asked to arrive at 11 a.m.

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

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

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

Tickets to the tournament are $2 a person, although the “Best Fourth in the North” committee will accept additional donations.

During the tournament committee members will sell refreshments, including hot dogs, michigans, chips, candy, soda water and Gatorade.

“I want to personally thank Bob Dedrick on behalf of the committee, the community and area visitors for his dedication to this tournament and the ‘Best Fourth In The North’,” Barber said.

The spaghetti dinner will begin at 5 p.m. at the Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus on Montcalm Street.

The meal will include spaghetti, meatballs, salad, bread and butter. Take out meals will be available. Tickets will be $10 a person. Children ages 5 and younger will be free.

Barber said the success of “The Best Fourth in the North” depends on fund raising. She urged people to support the event.

“If you would like to make a donation to support the celebration you can do so via mail or at any of the fundraisers,” Barber said. “All donations are tax deductible.”

Donations can be mailed to 42 Burgoyne Road, Ticonderoga 12883, Attention Debbie Barber, committee chair.

Other fund raising activities include a softball tournament June 2 and 3 at the Putnam recreation field and a iPad raffle.

Tickets for the iPad raffle will be available at the alumni basketball tournament with the winner being drawn that day. “‘The Best Fourth In The North’ celebration attracts many visitors to the Ticonderoga area every year, which supports local businesses and the local economy,” Barber said. “The celebration for 2012 will be held July 1-4. ‘The Best Fourth in the North’ committee is dedicated to providing area residents and visitors with the best Fourth of July experience in the North Country.”

Ticonderoga • Times of Ti - 9

Fort Ticonderoga receives donation of $50,000 in memory of Pell T I C O N D E R O G A — F o r t Ti c o n d e ro g a has received a $50,000 gift from Linzee and Beth Coolidge of Boston in memory of Edward W. Pell, long-time fort leader and supporter.

The gift will support a number of new initiatives at Fort Ticonderoga including a new educational exhibit space recreating the Officer ’s Barracks and a historical equine program being unveiled in 2012.

In addition, a portion of the funds have been designated to the Edward Ward Pell Education Endowment. The endowment was established in 2010 to support Fort Ticonderoga’s educational initiatives and

continue Edward W. Pell’s lifelong commitment to Fort Ticonderoga’s educational mission. “ F o r t Ti c o n d e ro g a h a s a n e p i c s t o r y that inspires action,” according to Linzee Coolidge. “We are delighted to support F o r t Ti c o n d e ro g a ’ s i m p o r t a n t m i s s i o n and remember our dear friend, Ed Pell.

Ed loved Fort Ticonderoga. His enthusiasm for educating people about Fort Ticonderoga’s story was contagious. We are so pleased that we can help continue his important legacy at one of America’s most significant and oldest historic sites.”

The initiatives supported by the funds are part of a broader developing strategy to build a diverse learning campus and premier interpretive experience, according to Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga executive director.

“Since 2010 a number of new programs a n d e x h i b i t s h a v e b e e n i n t ro d u c e d i n cluding the internationally acclaimed Art of War exhibit and the Heroic Maze,” Hill said. “In 2012, several new initiatives including the historic trades and equine programs will be unveiled. Fort Ticonderoga is currently undergoing a major destination planning initiative funded in

Budget Continued from page 1 Rick Smith, president of the Ticonderoga Teachers Association, said his members overwhelmingly approved the pay freeze.

“We’re trying to keep our school whole,” Smith said. “Without a pay freeze the cuts to our programs and personnel would have been devastating.

“We’re getting squeezed by the state,” Smith said. “State aid dwindles year-afteryear. Education in Ticonderoga and New York State is in a very precarious position.”

There are 115 members of the Ticonderoga Teachers Association. The group made more than $310,000 in concessions in the 2011-12 school budget.

“We are a union and it’s our responsibility to take care of our people,” said Mike Zent, president of the Ticonderoga Support Staff. “Had we not agreed there would have been an abundance of cuts if something else couldn’t be worked out. This was best for our people.”

There are 58 members of the Ticonderoga Support Staff.

With the pay freeze there will be no budget-related staff cuts. McDonald said two elementary teaching positions will be eliminated because of declining enrollment, a position in the administration office will be lost to retirement and a non-instructional position will be reclassified in next year ’s budget.

“We made our folks aware of the situation, but they came to us with the offer to help,” McDonald said of staff. “They took it upon themselves to help out.”

Teachers were scheduled to get a 2.8 per-

John McDonald

Rick Smith

cent pay hike next year and non-instructional employees 4 percent. Administrative employees are non-union and their pay is set by the school board.

Ticonderoga will have about 180 employees, when school starts in the fall. McDonald pointed out that is a 10 percent cut in staffing in the past two years.

The school board will now turn it attention to other areas of the 2012-13 budget and to lobbying efforts to close the remaining $315,000 budget gap.

“We have to take a hard look at our extracurricular activities and athletic programs,” McDonald said. “We’ve also had a lot of conversations with our state legislators about a restoration of state aid. That could be huge.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has set aside $250

million to reward high-performing schools in the state. The legislature has asked the governor to use $200 million of that to assist rural and upstate schools hit hard by state aid cuts.

While the district expects to gain about

37136

part by The Perkin Fund. The plan is focused on articulating a long-term vision for Fort Ticonderoga as a premier historic site and museum in North America.

“Through Linzee and Beth Coolidge’s generosity, Fort Ticonderoga is able to increase its ability to develop dynamic and immersive educational experiences,” said Hill. “This new gift is especially appreciated as it is in memory of such a dear Fort Ticonderoga friend who believed so passionately that the lessons to be der i v e d f ro m t h e f o r m a t i v e y e a r s o f t h i s country are applicable today.”

$300,000 in state aid in the 2012-13 budget, it will lose nearly $2 million in “one shot” funding that was used in the 2011-12 spending plan.

The New York State tax cap, which takes effect this year, calls for a 2 percent limit on tax increases — although some aspects of school spending are exempt from the tax cap.

In Ticonderoga that means taxes can increase a maximum of $350,000 in 2012-13.

That’s a 3.5 percent increase when exemptions are added in.

At the same time Ticonderoga has lost nearly $1.7 million that was available in 2011-12. Gone are $700,000 in state Excel aid, $310,000 in employee concessions, $300,000 in local fund balance, $180,000 in federal stimulus money and $87,000 from the employee retirement fund.

A local school district can exceed the state tax cap with approval of 60 percent of local voters. McDonald doesn’t believe that’s realistic in Ticonderoga. Last year residents rejected the budget when it was first presented and passed it a second time by three votes.

Ti to review all town buildings Students win NC History Day event

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Debating the future of its police station for several years, the Ticonderoga town board has decided to do a full analysis of all town buildings.

“We need to fully understand all our options before we can make any decision,” Supervisor Deb Malaney said of a possible police relocation. “We have options, but what’s the best one?”

Structural problems at the present police station on Burgoyne Road prompted local officials consider a new police location two years ago.

The town has looked at leasing the former Rite Aid building downtown, moving to the former Armory on Champlain Avenue and the Community Building.

The Rite Aid option was rejected when state regulations disallowed subleasing, which made that building unaffordable. The former Armory can’t be used because of deed restrictions placed on the building by the state when it gave it to the town. The Community Building lacks the space and parking.

Jim Major approached the town board at its February meeting with an offer to lease the former Dollar Store on Montcalm for use as a police station. That discussion prompted a special meeting later that led to the decision to do a full review of town buildings.

At the the special meeting another option became available when the Ticonderoga Fire District asked the town to take part in a study to either renovate the existing fire house that would include a police station or construction a new public safety building to house both agencies.

The Ticonderoga Fire District has hired an architect to do a study of the fire house, which was once a grocery store.

“We’re in the very early stages of a feasibility study,” LaRock said. “Our building wasn’t designed to be a fire house and we’re having problems. We need to find out the best way to go for the taxpayers. What is the most cost-effective way to solve these problems?”

LaRock pointed out fire fighting equipment has gotten bigger and heavier.

The Ti ladder truck weighs 90,000 pounds, he said. The tanker weighs 68,000.

“That building (the fire house) wasn’t designed to support anything heavier than a couple of ladies with shopping carts,” he said. “We had to replace a portion of the floor last summer because it was crumbling.”

The fire house also has electrical, roof and sewer issues, LaRock said.

“We’d like to work something out with the town board,” LaRock said.

“Hopefully as a fire department we can get some grant funding and the police can also get some grants. We want to make this as easy as possible for taxpayers.

“The police and fire department work together very well,” he added. “We think this makes a lot of sense.”

So does Malaney.

“That seems to be the most attractive direction at this time,” said said.

Malaney stressed, however, the town is limited by financial concerns.

“We’d like to meet the 2 percent property tax cap again next year, and every

year,” Malaney said. “That tax cap has changed everything.

“Our day-to-day operations are up 10 percent and we’re trying to stay at a 2 percent increase,” she continued. “The next budget will be more onerous that this year. I will not jump into a major financial investment with taxpayer money at this time.”

The supervisor also said the town board is opposed to leasing or buying space downtown at this point.

“We don’t want to tie up potential retail, tax-producing space downtown,” Malaney said.

While the police situation has been at the forefront of discussion, Malaney said a full review of all town buildings is needed.

The Armory, which was given to the town by the state when the National Guard left the community, is expensive to maintain, the supervisor said. It is the home to Ti’s youth and senior citizen programs.

“The Armory is a big question,” Malaney said.

“What are the projected long-term costs to own it?

Does it make sense for us to own it? Would we be better off giving it back to the state?”

There are also issues with the town highway garage that will need to addressed in the future, Malaney pointed out.

“We need a full study of our buildings and to develop a plan,” Malaney said.

“It’s something that has to be done.”

TICONDEROGA — North Country History Day was recently held at Fort Ticonderoga’s Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center.

“What a great day,” said Rich Strum, the fort’s director of education North Country Regional Coordinator for New York State History Day. “Not only was it exciting to see student projects, but it was great to see students from throughout the region sharing with each other their common interest in history and what history can teach us about ourselves. Each and every student participant invested a great deal of time and energy in historical research and creating compelling projects reflecting this year ’s them of ‘Revolution, Reform, Reaction in History.’”

A gift from Walmart of Ticonderoga helped support the North Country History Day Regional Contest.

Winners in the North Country region include: — Jonathan Brassard, Cole Gaddor, Kyle Gifaldi, Megan Maloy and Dylan Scozzafava from Moriah Central School, who took first place in the Senior Group Website category with their website “The Roman Revolution: Gateway to America.”

— Taylor Morse, Jordan Pelkey, Emily Sipley, Darcy Smith, and Jamie Vogt from Peru Middle School, who took first place in the Junior Group Documentary category with their documentary

“The Kalmar Union.”

— Courtney Wilbanks from Beekmantown Middle School, who took first place in the Junior Individual Exhibit category with her exhibit “More than Just a Job!” — Emily Powers from Ticonderoga Middle School, who took second place in the Junior Individual Exhibit category with her exhibit “The Suffrage Movement: A Fight for Women’s Rights.”

— Allison LaRock and Alexandria Whitney from Beekmantown Middle School, who took first place in the Junior Group Exhibit category with their exhibit “Titanic Mistakes: Lesson Learned.”

— Makayla Holt and Amanda Hurlburt from St. Mary’s School in Ticonderoga, who took second place in the Junior Group Exhibit category with their exhibit “The Reform of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.”

— Nathan Wilhelm from Edison Home School, who took first place in the Junior Individual Website category with his website “How One Person Stirred the Conscience of America.”

The students will advance to compete at New York

State History Day in Cooperstown on April 23.

National History Day is the nation’s leading program for history education in schools. The program annually engages 2 million people in 48 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam. Students research history topics of their choice related to an annual theme and create exhibits, documentaries, performances, research papers, and website designs. They may enter in competition at the regional, state, and national level.

Participants include students in grades 6-8 in the Junior Division and grades 9-12 in the Senior Division.

National History Day also provides educational services to students and teachers, including a summer internship program, curricular materials, internet resources, and annual teacher workshops and training institutes. Fort Ticonderoga hosts teacher workshops about History Day each fall in the North Country and Regional Coordinator Rich Strum is available to meet with teachers at their schools to introduce the program.

A Crown Point man was charged with felony driving while intoxicated following an accident in Hague March 17, according to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office.

Daniel H. Meehan, 32, was heading east on state Route 8 shortly before 7 p.m. when he lost control of his 2002 Volkswagen Golf, crossed into the opposite lane and then into a ditch, flipping the car over, police said.

After police arrived, they believed Meehan was intoxicated and tested his blood-alcohol level. A chemical test found it was .14, above the .08 threshold for intoxication, police said.

Meehan was charged with felony DWI and issued a ticket for speed not reasonable and prudent. The felony charge was invoked because Meehan was convicted of DWI in 2005, police said. He was released, and will appear later in Hague town court.

An Elizabethtown man could face up to eight years in prison for recording video images of women in the restroom at the High Peaks Rest Area on Interstate 87 in North Hudson.

Daniel Lamere Jr. 26 of Elizabethtown was arrested May 8, 2011, after he had hidden in the restroom and recorded dozens of women in bathroom stalls while he worked as an independent contractor maintaining the bathroom facilities at the rest area.

Lamere pled guilty to two counts of Unlawful Surveillance on March 9 according to Essex County District Attorney Brian Felton. Unlawful Surveillance is a Class E Felony and can carry a sentence of 1.33 to 4 years according to Felton. If consecutively served, Lamere faces up to 8 years in State Prison.

Chief Investigator in the case, Nate Yaw, said

due to the sensitive nature of the crime he couldn’t release the number of victims in the case. Police believe Lamere had been recording women at the rest area as far back as January 2011 and the grand jury indicted Lamere of 5 counts of Unlawful Surveillance based on videos found in his possession. Yaw said Lamere, as an employee, had barricaded sections of the bathroom for maintenence and would record women with his phone without their knowledge.

On May 8, a woman had reported she believed she was being watched from a bathroom stall at the rest area on the southbound side of the northway. Through police investigation, Lamere was recognized as the perpetrator and arrested later that day.

There was no indication that the videos had been shared or put onto the internet according to Yaw. After the incident was reported, Yaw said the

Adirondack Park Agency approves Hoffman Notch Wilderness plan andy@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Adirondack Park Agency (APA) commissioners March 15 approved a unit management plan (UMP) for the Hoffman Notch Wilderness Area, located in the towns of Schroon, North Hudson and Minerva.

Board members unanimously approved the State Lands Committee’s resolution, saying the UMP “conforms with the general guidelines and criteria of the Adirondack State Land Master Plan.” The UMP is a fiveyear management plan with specific activities designated for each year.

Major changes to the Hoffman Notch Wilderness Area include establishing new camping areas, limiting group size for daytime and overnight trips, enhancing brook trout fishing opportunities, and working with the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program to manage and eradicate invasive plants.

The 38,488-acre Hoffman Notch Wilderness Area (HNWA) is located entirely in Essex County: west of Schroon Lake and the Adirondack Northway, east of the Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest, south of the Blue Ridge Road (County Route 2) in the town of North Hudson, and north of the Hoffman Road (County Route 24).

The acreage spans three townships: •Town of Schroon: 21,439 acres •Town of North Hudson: 14,332 acres •Town of Minerva: 2,886 acres There are 14.9 miles of trails in the Hoffman Notch Wilderness: the Bailey Pond Trail (.8 miles), Hoffman Notch Trail (7.4 miles), Mount Severance Trail (1 mile) and Big Pond Trail (5.7 miles). There is also a wide array of unmarked trails.

Most trails in the unit are used by a variety of recreationists including those interested in hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, fishing and hunting.

Currently, three trail registers are located in the HNWA. The oldest trail register exists at the base of Mount Severance.

Major proposals in the draft UMP include: Fisheries •Reduce the distribution of nonnative and native?but?widely?introduced fish species, and increase the abundance of the depressed native brook trout. This will include reclaiming Marion Pond.

•Restore a native fish community in Marion Pond through reclamation.

•Manage one pond (Marion) as an Adirondack brook trout pond, and one pond (Bailey) as a Coldwater pond.

•Manage two ponds (Big and North) as Warmwater ponds.

•And assess North Pond as a potential reclamation candidate to restore a native fish community there.

unit and construct associated unmarked path approximately 1 mile in length with associated two- to three-log bridge along private land boundary to link up with old road access to Durgin Farm. This would provide a much needed access to the Northwest corner of the Hoffman Notch Wilderness.

•Construct a five?car parking area at the Hoffman Notch Trailhead on the Blue Ridge Road.

Group size •Adopt regulations to limit the maximum number of overnight users to groups of eight. This will be implemented over a twoyear period.

•Adopt regulations to limit the size of day use groups to a maximum of 15 persons per party. This will be implemented over a twoyear period.

Wildlife •Re-establish, to the extent possible, self?sustaining wildlife populations of species that are extirpated, endangered, threatened or of special concern in habitats where their existence will be compatible with other elements of the ecosystem and human use of the area.

•Conduct surveys for spruce grouse and evaluate the distribution and quality of po-

Campsites There are no designated primitive campsites located in this unit. There are numerous fire rings: three on North Pond and one each on Bailey Pond, Big Marsh, Tyrrell Marsh, Big Pond, Marion Pond and one in Hoffman Notch located mostly on the larger bodies of water where people have camped.

•Due to the absence of any designated tent sites in the unit, two tent sites will be designated at Big Pond.

•Designate and develop a tent site at Bailey Pond with accessibility in mind. Level / hardened site with accessible fire ring and accessible Privy.

•Construct a lean?to in the vicinity of Platt Brook along the 4?mile new trail segment.

•Designate one campsite on North Pond •Install accessible box privy at all designated tent sites and lean?to.

Trailheads The HNWA is served by six public entry points, five of which are considered developed, as a parking area is available at that location. One additional trailhead / parking area is planned for the northwest portion of the unit along the Blue Ridge Rd. •Replace privy at Lock Muller Trailhead with accessible privy.

•Increase the size of the Big Pond Trailhead parking by one to two vehicle spaces.

•Construct a three- to four-car parking lot in existing driveway along Blue Ridge Road Access point #7 near northwest corner of the

Accessibility for persons with disabilities •Increase the accessibility of two portions of trails in the Hoffman Notch Wilderness.

Bailey Pond Trail and Big Pond trail retain old road characteristics over portions of their length. While it would not be feasible to make these trails universally accessible, portions of these trails will be improved for accessibility allowing improved access for people with less severe disabilities. Bailey Pond Trail will be improved from the trailhead to Bailey Pond and The Big Pond Trail will be improved from the Trailhead to the first large water body.

Students restoring vehicle for Essex County Sheriff’s Department CVES class doing the work

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com MINEVILLE — The Essex County Sheri ff ’ s D e p a r t m e n t i s g e t t i n g s o m e h e l p from local students.

The automotive tech class at Champ l a i n Va l l e y E d u c a t i o n S e r v i c e s i n Mineville is restoring a humvee for the police agency.

“It’ll be a neat project,” said Art Miclette, auto tech instructor. “We do body work, small engine repair, we do a little bit of everything here so this will be a good experience.

“It’s more heavy-duty than the boys are used to,” he said of humvee, “but they seem excited. I think the biggest attraction is being able to test drive it when we’re done.”

A humvee is a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle. It’s a four-wheel drive vehicle primarily used by the United States Armed Forces.

The 1987 humvee is available to the Essex County Sheriff ’s Department through an Army surplus program. The humvee came from Fort Drum and can be used by the sheriff ’s office as long as it’s needed, explained Maj. David Reynolds of the sheriff ’s department, at no cost.

Why a humvee?

“The idea arose last year during Hurric a n e I re n e , ” R e y n o l d s s a i d . “ T h i s w i l l give us the ability to reach people isolated by floods and get to areas that require four-wheel drive. It’s a heavy-duty machine.”

The humvee is in good shape, but needs some work, Reynolds said.

“We’ll restore it and make it road worthy,” Miclette said of the humvee. “We know there are some brake issues and it needs a lot of body work. It hasn’t had service (maintenance) in years.”

Miclette plans to have the vehicle ready by the end of the school year.

“That gives us 12 weeks,” the teacher said. “That should be plenty of time to get it back on the road.”

The sheriff ’s department will pay for all the materials associated with the project. The students will provide free labor.

“It’s in pretty good shape, so it won’t c o s t u s m u c h t o g e t i t re a d y t o g o , ” Reynolds said. “The students will do the work and we’ll provide parts and materials. Any money needed will come from o u r ( d ru g ) f o r f e i t u re a c c o u n t . T h e re won’t be any taxpayer money involved.”

Reynolds is pleased the local students are willing to assist the sheriff ’s department.

“It’s helping us and it gives them a little real-life experience working on a piece of machinery like that,” Reynolds said.

“If any of them go into the military in the future they could be working on the same type of vehicle.”

Students taking part in the project inc l u d e C o l e B ro o k s , D o u g M a r s h a l l a n d M i c h a e l E n n e n g a o f C ro w n P o i n t , Tro y Morin and Ryan Smits of Moriah, Austin Martin of Westport and Atom Farrell of Keene.

Assisting the class are Marc Austin and Gene Staubitz, former Mineville auto tech students, who are now employees of Vi l l a g e A u t o i n C ro w n P o i n t . M i c l e t t e owns Village Auto.

“I think it’s great to have them helping out,” Miclette said his former students.

“They have a lot of skills and they are a good example for the class.”

Helping when the humvee arrived were Anthony Childs, Jordan Greenough and Brandon Chappell, Moriah students who were “shadowing” the auto tech program for the day.

Literacy Volunteers get $1,000 grant

Money to be used for programs PORT HENRY — Literacy Volunteers of Essex / Franklin Counties has been awarded a grant of $1,000 from the Evergreen Fund, a component of Adirondack Community Trust.

The grant will be used for Literacy Volunteers educational programs in Essex and Franklin Counties, according to Maria Burke, director of the Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties.

“For the past 25 years, our organization has provided free and confidential programs to adults who want to improve their literacy skills and reach their full potential.

Hundreds of students have attained their GED, received jobs, and have become citizens of the United States,” Burke said. “The grant from the Evergreen Fund through Adirondack Community Trust will give us additional resources to improve the quality of our programs and provide educational materials to our students.”

Literacy Volunteers of Essex / Franklin Counties was founded in 1986 by Preston Miller of Malone (Franklin) and Anne Mesrop of North Hudson (Essex). Although Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin Counties were two separate entities, they merged in 2001 to create a unified organization.

Cheryl Schiller is the president of Literacy Volunteers Board of Directors.

Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin Counties currently has about 100 students, Burke said. It offers free, confidential tutoring on a one-to-one basis and in small groups to anyone older than age 16. Most of its students are people working toward high school graduate equivalency degrees (GED) or foreign workers who lack English skills, Burke said.

It also provides educational services to inmates at Moriah Shock in Mineville, Adirondack Correctional Facility in Ray Brook and Bere Hill Correctional Facility in Malone.

Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin Counties has offices in Port Henry, Saranac Lake and Malone with a satellite site in Lake Placid.

Although Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin Counties only works with adults, it promotes reading at young ages through its Roo the Reader program.

Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin Counties also sponsors special events to promote reading and its programs. In March it held a Scrabble tournament in Saranac Lake. In May it held its ninth annual spelling bee in Saranac Lake.

Town of Moriah pleased with launch of website

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The town of Moriah has established a new website to serve residents and meet new state requirements.

The site — www.townofmoriahny.net — lists elected officials and department heads with contact information, posts agendas for upcoming town board meetings, has town board meeting minutes, copies of local laws and permits requirements.

Still under construction, the new site will soon add the town budget, monthly financial reports and the town assessment roll. It will also have links to county and state agencies.

“It’s a work in progress,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “Eventually we hope to have any information that’s available at the town hall be available on

the website. The information has always been available, but most people don’t take the time to come to the town hall and get it. This makes things a little easier for our residents.”

The new website is the result of a new state law that requires municipalities to post agendas prior to meetings and to make all material relating to board resolutions available to the public.

Posting that material online for people to access is easier and cheaper than making dozens of paper copies of information to be distributed at meetings, Scozzafava said.

Moriah’s town board meeting agendas will be available on the site two or three days before every meeting, the supervisor said. Minutes from meetings will be available two or three days following the meeting.

Moriah has contracted with Mike Brenish, a Mineville resident who recently re-

tired from the Essex County information services department, to construct and maintain the site. He will be paid $25 a hour.

Assisting Brenish are Town Clerk Elaine Adkins and trustee Rick Carpenter.

“We’re very fortunate to have a resident (Brenish) with the skills to help and who is willing to step up,” Scozzafava said. “He’s doing a great job with the help of Laney (Adkins) and Rick (Carpenter).”

Scozzafava welcomes the new technology and the ability to share information with Moriah residents.

“I’ve always been a big believer in open government and transparency,” he said.

“This is another tool toward those goals.

In my 24 years in office, with one exception, has anyone ever had to file a FOIL (Freedom of Information Law) request. If people want information I gladly give it to them.”

Crown Point Chamber of Commerce marks first year anniversary

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The Crown Point Chamber of Commerce marked its first anniversary with a pot luck dinner recently.

The group’s annual meeting featured a look back, plans for the future and the election of new leadership.

Doug Terbeek was elected chamber cochairman. He replaces Joe Bodette. Nancy Ockrin remains a co-chair.

“I’m pleased to serve in this capacity and be part of the positive growth which the chamber can help bring to Crown Point,” Terbeek said.

Terbeek, a long-time Crown Point resident, is the director of the Substance Abuse Prevention Team of Essex County, which is based in Ticonderoga.

“I am very excited with the new addition to our team, with Doug’s years of community involvement bringing a lot to the table,” Ockrin remarked.

Bodette was thanked for his work in getting the chamber off the ground.

The Crown Point Chamber of Commerce now has 45 members. Maple Ridge Park Campground and two individuals joined at the annual meeting, which was held at Frenchman’s Restaurant.

Last year ’s accomplishments were re-

viewed and plans developed for 2012.

“Last year flower pots on shepherd’s hooks were put up around downtown towards beautification,” Ockrin said. “This year we are hoping to expand with even more flower stations. The chamber ’s web site (www.crownpointny.org) is up and running. This year ’s goals include further expansion with reciprocal linking, additional pictures and a Crown Point calendar for town events.

“In 2011 the chamber purposed to be involved with the town’s regularly occurring events, like the Penfield Museum fund raisers, town board meetings and Memorial Day festivities,” Ockrin added.

“This year we are hoping to initiate and sponsor some of our own events for the town, along the lines of our most recently spearheaded activity, the children’s ice fishing clinic held at Monitor Bay. Exploring town grant possibilities is on the agenda for the new year.”

A plaque with the chamber ’s slogan, “Building a bridge to a strong and dynamic community,” has been designed for membership 2012. In addition, a chamber brochure, including the participating chamber businesses and community groups, is being readied for the Lake Champlain Bridge celebration May 19 and 20.

Ockrin reported that organizers expect 10,000 people to participate in the bridge

“Providing fiber optics is essentially giving small and medium-sized businesses access to all the services and abilities enjoyed by larger Fortune 500 companies.”

The installation of fiber optic cable this spring and summer is Phase 1 of a larger project. Bridge Point Communication plans to provide the new service to the Wicker Street, Montcalm Street, Champlain Avenue area by fall, Tony Macey said. The firm plans to expand to other parts of Ticonderoga and offer residential service in 2013.

“It’s a major project,” Tony Macey said. “Any time you’re putting actual infrastructure in place there are significant costs — the cable, transportation, labor,” he said of phasing in service to Ticonderoga. “Also, we want to make certain everything is working properly and there are no issues before we expand. We need to do this in phases.”

ON THE NET This story was first posted online at 5 p.m., March 16 on www.timesofti.com phone services, Shana Macey stressed Bridge Point Communication will proffer local technical assistance.

“What we offer more than anything is local service,” she said. “We’ve been here 116 years. We’re invested in the community. We’re not going any where.

“We understand that people do business all hours of the day and night,” she added. “They need assistance at all times. We understand that and will provide help at any time.”

Tony Macey agreed.

“Customer service is key,” he said. “If a businessman is working on a report at 2 a.m. at the Best Western in Ticonderoga and the internet goes down we’ll be available to fix the problem immediately.”

Shana Macey said the fiber optics project is a major investment for her company, although she declined to say how much money is being spent.

“There are so many aspects,” she said. “It would be really tough to quantify an amount.”

It’s a smart investment, she said.

“It’s not going to lose its value,” Shana Macey said.

“Throughout the years our company has always made strides to keep up with new technology. When telephones changed for the better, we changed. Fiber optics is the next step. Fiber will always hold its value. It will be the major venue for quite some time to come.”

Above, left: Shana Macey, Crown Point Telephone president, and Tony Macey, Crown Point Telephone vice president of operations, have announced a project to bring fiber optic service to Ticonderoga.

Ti alumni basketball tourney scheduled ‘Best Fourth in the North’ benefit March 31

By Fred Herbst

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

The annual Ticonderoga Alumni Basket-

ball Tournament will be played Saturday, March 31, at Ti High. It will again benefit the Ticonderoga “Best Fourth in the North” celebration.

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

“Alumni who have graduated in the 1980s to the most recent grads all converge at the gym to renew friendships, relive memories,

get a chance to pit their skills against other graduates and help raise funds for the Fourth of July celebration,” he said.

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

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

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

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

“This event continues to be a fundraiser for the Fourth of July,” Dedrick said. “As in the past an admission fee will be collected and it is the hope that the community will help support the Fourth of July and also salute the former players and referees who so generously devote their time.”

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

Box 212 Port Henry, New York 12972 (Public Water Supply ID#1500287) 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. Dwayne Maye, Water Superintendent, at (518) 942-3340. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled town board meetings. The meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. in the Town Hall.

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 contami-

March 24, 2012 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 Moriah WD is Bartlett Pond. Raw water receives filtration treatment at the Bartlett Pond filtration plant.

The Bartlett Pond water filtration plant is located to the south of Bartlett Pond approximately onequarter mile west of the pond spillway.

The filtered water receives hypochlorination disinfection treatment prior to entering two interconnected storage tanks at the plant. Water flows by gravity from storage at the plant to the Mineville area (Water District #1)..

Water is pumped from storage at the filter plant to a concrete storage reservoir at Barton Hill for the Whiterbee area (Water District #2).

Water flows by gravity from the Barton Hill storage tank to Water District #2.

FACTS AND FIGURES Our water system serves approximately 3,100 individuals through 1,030 service connections. The total volume of water produced in 2010 was 140 million gallons.

On average, 384,000 gallons of water is treated and distributed to users of the water system each day. In 2010, the average annual charge for town water service was approximately $270.00 per user.

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, inorganic contaminants, nitrate, nitrite, gross alpha, lead and copper, volatile organic contaminants, 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.

Notes: 1 - A violation occurs when a total coliform sample and/or an E. Coli sample are positive and a repeat total coliform sample and/or an E. Coli sample is positive.

2 - During 2008, 10 samples were collected and analyzed for lead and copper. The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of the lead or copper values detected at your water system. In this case, 10 samples were collected at your water system and the 90th percentile value was the second highest value for both lead and copper.

The action level for lead was not exceeded at any of the sites tested.

The action level for copper was not exceeded at any of the sites tested. The range of lead levels measured was ND 9.8 ug/L. The range of copper levels measured was 0.007 0.704 mg/L. 3 - 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.

sents the running annual average of all samples collected during 2010. In this case, a total of 4 samples were collected during 2010.

5 - 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. State regulations require that turbidity must always be below 1.0 NTU. The regulations also require that 95% of the turbidity samples collected have measurements below 0.3 NTU. Our single highest filtered water turbidity measurement for the year occurred at 12:00am on August 17, 2010 (0.470 NTU).

The turbidity of the filtered water entering the distribution system from our storage tanks at the filter plant never exceeded 0.3 NTU during 2010.

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.

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

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).

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

WHAT DOES THIS I N F O R M AT I O N MEAN? As you can see by the table, the system had no violations.

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

Is our water system meeting other rules that govern operations?

During 2010, our system was in compliance with applicable State drinking water operating, monitoring and reporting requirements.

SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT SUMMARY The NYS Dept. of Health completed a source water assessment for this system based on available information. Based on the analysis of available information, this drinking water source does not have an ele-

vated susceptibility to contamination. There are no regulated facilities within this watershed and the corresponding land cover does not pose any substantial risks to the source water quality.

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? Some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.

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

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

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

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

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

WHY SAVE WATER AND HOW TO AVOID WASTING IT? Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a number of reasons why it is important to conserve water: " Saving water saves energy and some of

the costs associated with both of these necessities of life; " Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and " Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential fire fighting needs are met.

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

Conservation tips include: " Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity. " Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. " Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it up and 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. " Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances, then check the meter after 15 minutes.

If it moved, you have a leak.

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

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

We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community.

Please call our office if you have questions.
