TICONDEROGA — Bayleigh Clark took her time making her lunch selection during the St. Mary’s School Wellness Fair, wanting to make the healthy choice.

In the end, with the help of teacher Ellie Berube, Clark picked milk and vegetables.

“It’s all about giving kids healthy choices,” explained Berube, a physical education teacher and chairwoman of the Wellness Fair. “We want healthy, happy children.”

The fair capped Wellness Week at St. Mary’s School.

Each day of the week emphasized a healthy lifestyle choice, leading up the main event — the Wellness Fair.

Open to the public as well as students, the Wellness fair featured about 20 health-related exhibits. Students and visitors learned about nutrition, drug awareness, pet care, dental health, physical therapy, hygiene, CPR and more.

Schroon Lake School Board adopts spending plan Tax levy exceeds state mandated cap

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake School Board has decided to put forth a budget that exceeds the state tax cap, but keeps cuts to programs and staff to a minimum.

Should voters strike down the spending plan May 15, deeper cuts will be inevitable, school officials say.

And, since the proposed 3.99 percent tax levy exceeds the 2.94 percent increase allowed under the state’s mandated tax ceiling at Schroon Lake, the budget must be passed by a 60 percent majority.

Historically, the district has been unable to pass a budget with that large a majority. If the budget is not passed the board would have to con-

struct another budget to put before voters. Should that one fail the district would be forced to adopt a contingency budget including a flat, zero percent tax increase, resulting in significant cuts to programs, staff and extra-curricular activities.

The board adopted its 2012-13 budget during a April 5 meeting.

The total budget is $7,235,566, a decrease of $16,6813 from the 2011-12 budget which is $7,402,379.

Even with the 3.99 tax increase,

the district still needed to close a $482,763 gap in revenue.

To do so, the school board is proposing cuts to the modified and junior modified sports teams and hourly reductions of faculty members through schedule revisions.

They will also reduce a math/reading position to half time, and reduce money spent on maintenance materials and supplies for the senior play.

Ti Fire Department opening its doors to the community Opening for family fun and recruitment opportunities

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Fire Department will be opening its doors to the public for a family fun learning day and a recruitment opportunity for interested new members on April 21 and 22.

First Assistant Fire Chief, Matt Watts, said the two-day event will go from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will be a chance for members of the community to come out to the fire station,

VERGENNES, VT 877-30 48 RT.22A

located at 60 Montcalm Street, and see what the local volunteer fire department is all about.

The open house will have family fun activities and learning opportunities. Watts said there will be a search and rescue activity where firefighters will fill a room with non-toxic smoke and demonstrate how they locate people through smoke; a vehicle extraction demonstration will show how firefighters use the jaws of life to remove accident victims safely from their vehicles; visitors 18-years or older can take aerial rides at the top of the 100-foot ladder truck, and kids will be able to use the fire hoses and participate in games.

The event is part of a statewide Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) RecruitNY week. It is aimed to encourages departments to open their doors for anyone interested in joining the local volunteer fire department.

After a successful RecruitNY last year, Watts said the department recruited six new members. Though he said every day for the department is a recruitment opportunity.

“We’re all about encouraging new members and all year for us is recruitment time, there’s always an opportunity to

The department currently has 50 full-time members, including 15 junior members between 14 and 17-years-old.

“Our goal is to let the public become aware of who we are,” Watts said. “We’re fortunate for the members we have.”

This year, Watts said the event also gives the community an opportunity to visit the newly constructed fire department museum.

“We want to use this day as an opportunity to open up to the public and let them see what we’re all about here,” Watts said.

The museum, which began as a collection of artifacts in a room in the fire department and has since expanded to a new addition to the facility, features old firefighting equipment, antique furniture, photos, newspaper clippings from major fires and events, board meeting minutes that date back to the 1800’s, and various awards.

Lake George inspection plan moves forward Invasive species a concern

By Thom Randall Thom@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The pending plan to inspect boats for invasive species and decontaminate them if necessary has moved ahead as Lake George Park Commission members unveiled how they’d likely certify and seal clean boats — and discussed their efforts to line up funding and boost public education.

At a meeting in Bolton Landing March 2, members of the Park Commission’s Invasive Species Committee showed representatives of environmental groups a wire and plastic seal that would bind a boat to a trailer, certifying that it was inspected and clean of invasive species.

Boats coming out of Lake George could receive such a seal, and if left unbroken, boats could be reintroduced to the lake without re-inspection.

Committee members said the idea, based on procedures employed at Lake Tahoe, would minimize inconvenience to boaters in the pending boat inspection and decontamination program.

It also would allow marinas to pull boats out of Lake George and store them at shoreline sites or a considerable distance without re-inspection and certification.

Representatives of the Park Commission have been meeting with state Department of Environmental Commission officials to lobby for establishing a trial boat inspection and vessel disinfection program within several months at Norowal Marina. Last week, members of the Invasives Committee met with DEC Region 5 Director Robert Stegemann.

DEC officials have expressed concerns about the impact on anglers, commission members said.

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

to be decontaminated.

The Park Commission has asked state officials for $300,000 to implement the plan. Already, Gov. Cuomo’s proposed state budget has earmarked $100,000 for controlling invasive species in Lake George.

Invasive Committee members said that individuals’ kayaks and canoes wouldn’t likely be included in the inspection program, because a voluntary Lake Steward inspection program conducted last summer by the Lake George Association indicated that kayaks and canoes weren’t carrying invasives. They said they’d be tweaking the law to make it as convenient as possible for anglers, lakeshore homeowners.

“We’ll be relying on a person’s decency to make sure their boats are clean,” committee member John Pettica said.

Lake George Association Executive Director Walt Lender of Ticonderoga said the Park Commission was making worthwhile progress.

“This is a very good direction to be going in,’ he said. “It’s good to be exploring ways to get control over boats’ points of entry into the lake.”

The trial program would establish a voluntary inspection site at Norowal Marina in Bolton Landing, and boats found carrying invasive species would be decontaminated at a nearby washing station.

Invasive committee member Joe Stanek said that Norowal was a good site, because over the Fourth of July weekend last year, 325 boats were inspected in the voluntary Lake Steward program. Among those, 25 boats were determined likely to carry invasive species.

He said that in the trial program, boaters would not be charged a fee, although a $30 fee has been estimated for the proposed mandatory program.

“This is a common-sense approach,” he said. “If a person’s boat is clean, drained and dry, they’ll be able to launch.”

Invasives committee members said they are in the process of selecting a boat(formerly Lin’s Groom & Board) washing station, and it’s is likely to cost $41,0000 or so.

Dog, Cat Eventually, a half-dozen in-

spection and decontamination stations could be set up around the lake adjacent to launch sites, if the plan is fully implemented after the trial program concludes.

Stanek said the inspection and decontamination program was vital to not only protecting the lake’s purity, but avoiding costs of dealing with invasive species contamination.

Stanek said that officials overseeing Lake Tahoe, which is similar to Lake George, estimate that economic losses to Tahoe-area citizens were estimated to far exceed $20 million annually if invasives were left unchecked. That figure includes decreases in property values, recreational use, losses in tourism, impact on water supply and increased boat maintenance, he said.

Fort to conclude lecture seriesApril 22 School budget hearing slated TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Central School District board of education will hold a public hearing on the proposed 2012-13 budget and a regular meeting at 7 p.m.

Thursday, April 19, in the high school cafeteria.

Computer class available

the season on Sunday, April 22, at 2 p.m. with “Henry Knox: Beyond the Noble Train of Artillery” presented

by Director of Education Rich Strum.

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

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

Best known at Fort Ticonderoga for his Herculean feat in transporting 59 pieces of artillery from Ticonderoga to Cambridge, Mass., during the winter of

1775-76, Knox went on to become one of George Washington's most trusted officers.

Strum will discuss Knox’s early life, when he was forced to begin work at the age of 9 to help support his family. A bookseller in Boston in the years leading up to the Revolution, Knox conversed with customers who would fall on opposing sides in the coming war.

After a distinguished military career, Knox continued to help shape the young country, serving as Secretary at War through most of the 1780s. He remained in that position during the first

year's of Washington's presidency, before retiring to Maine.

In the coming months, the “Fort Fever Series” will be replaced by the Fort Ticonderoga Author Series, which returns for the third year.

The first program in this series will be on Sunday, June 3, with Eliot Cohen, author of “Conquered into Liberty.”

Synthetic pot: The fight is not over

T

he troubling news reports began late last year, describing the dangers linked with the use of synthetic marijuana or herbal incense products sold over-the-counter.

Whether it was teens suffering severe health problems such as seizures, blackouts and kidney failure or exhibiting psychotic episodes or violent behavior, the use of the chemical-laced plant substances sold as “Posh,” “Wicked X” or “K2” prompted grave concerns among law enforcement officials, medical professionals and emergency responders.

At first were the local reports of young teens suffering convulsions and hallucinations — and burglarizing stores to obtain the substances.

Emergency medical responders witnessed people threatening suicide or exhibiting demented behavior, as well as experiencing vomiting, high blood pressure, heart attacks and swelling of the brain.

Then there was the local news report in October that a Fort Edward man violently attacked a woman — attempting to strangle her and shove his fist down her throat — after smoking herbal incense. He told authorities he didn’t remember what had happened after his smoking session.

Also, reports were heard nationwide of various deaths and suicides blamed on psychotic behavior linked to the drug.

The same month, a Glens Falls woman was stabbed over a dozen times by her teenage son after he smoked synthetic marijuana. At the youth’s recent sentencing, the woman — who is facing permanent injuries — pleaded with the judge to be lenient, because his behavior was prompted by the drug and he had no prior criminal record.

We applaud the administration of Gov. Andrew Cuomo for imposing a ban two weeks ago to halt the sale of synthetic marijuana products, which officials say are highly addictive and a pose a severe health hazard.

The immediate ban was a measure enacted through the state Health Department, because Cuomo and other state officials sought to protect the

state’s citizens as soon as possible — by bypassing the lengthy process of getting such laws approved in the state legislature.

Cuomo and Health Commissioner Nirav Shah deserve credit for taking such fast action. We also support U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer ’s campaign to criminalize the substances nationally.

We in the Adirondacks, however, can be particularly proud that our county leaders, law enforcement officials and community activists have been leading the way on banning these dangerous substances.

In February, a group called Bringing Essex County Strengths Together — which included Elizabethtownarea students and youth advocates — met with area leaders, local politicians and law enforcement officials to warn them about the dangers associated with synthetic marijuana.

The meeting resulted in a campaign to urge area stores to voluntarily stop selling the substances. Key adult leaders in this effort were Essex County Community Resources Director Michael Mascarenas, Elizabethtown Social Center Director Arin Burdo, and Mac MacDevitt, community prevention coordinator of the Substance Abuse Prevention Team of Essex County.

In addition, credit goes to Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague and county Sheriff Richard Cutting, who demonstrated leadership in calling for a ban.

In Warren County, credit goes to Lake George citizen activist Joanne Gavin for urging the local town board to enact a ban, and not wait for federal and state authorities to take action.

Within days of Gavin’s plea, Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan and local state Trooper James West urged county supervisors to See POSH, page 7

Stop marketing tobacco to kids To the Times of Ti:

GUESTVIEWPOINT

Writing contest under way To the Times of Ti:

In 1998, the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement with the tobacco companies was enacted. This settlement severely limited tobacco advertising and restricted tobacco companies from utilizing billboard and transit advertising. Additionally, they could no longer target underage youth with print advertising.

This meant that the tobacco companies would have to be creative with the manner in which they advertised toward adolescents and young adults, which is the group that is most susceptible to product marketing.

Youth are now targeted through Point of Sale advertising, when tobacco products are highly visible where other items are purchased, such as by the registers in convenience and grocery stores and pharmacies. Research shows that kids who shop at stores with tobacco marketing two or more times a week are 64 percent more likely to start smoking than their peers who don’t.

By covering up tobacco products at these locations, other countries have been able to boast significant dccrcascs in youth smoking rates.

The New York State Tobacco Control Program has launched a new media campaign that plainly states that our kids have seen enough. They are bombarded with tobacco marketing every time they shop at the stores that prominently display tobacco products. It is time to change as 22,500 NYS children under the age of 18 become new daily smokers each year.

Help lower youth smoking rates by supporting changes to reduce youth exposure to in-store tobacco marketing. To View and support our new tobacco marketing campaign visit www.tobaccofreenys.org. Encourage children to speak up and say that they have seen enough.

Disagrees with editorial To the Times of Ti: Dear Editorial Staff: While I can appreciate that you have taken a stand on the Horace Nye Nursing Home Sale, you have failed to address the following areas while doing so.

In your decision to take the conservative road you have disregarded the fact that for years the Supervisors chose to ignore the escalating costs since 2001, ignore the recommendations of a study they paid taxpayer money to get. and waited until the issue became so urgent, that they acted reactively instead of proactively and decided to sell their problem away. My conclusion from your editorial is that you have not looked into the future to determine the needs of the aging population in this County. But then I guess that a conservative Editorial Board such as yourselves is all about less government. Good for you that you have the income to support all your needs and your children or grandchildren don't need public education and you can afford private education, you have your computers and don't need libraries that receive government assistance, certainly don't need the Essex County Fair who receives County funding, you don't need public roads and highways, you attend church regularly and give such a healthy donation to do your Christian duty to take care of those in need if we were to go back to the church looking out for the needy and infirm instead of the government and taxpayers.

There is no doubt that the Horace Nye Home will be sold, but did you ask the Supervisors if they will put the money proceeds back into the reserve funds that keep dwindling or will they use it for upper management raises or pet projects or will they stick to their conservative action and begin looking at all the non-essential elements of county funded government?

Posh from page 6 criminalize the sale, use or possession of the substances.

These supervisors, serving on the county Criminal Justice committee, endorsed a law that had been drafted by county Attorney Martin Auffredou and county Administrator Paul Dusek. The law is to come before the full Board of Supervisors this next week, and it is expected to receive unanimous support.

We applaud their swift response. Kudos also go to Hogan and county Sheriff Bud York and his staff.

Drugs remain the No. 1 destructive force tearing apart families as well as prompting criminal behavior, including violent crimes.

There’s not only a high cost to society in deaths, injuries, mental health costs and crime, but the taxpayers pay exorbitant amounts to incarcerate, prosecute and rehabilitate the offenders.

It is vitally important to understand, however, that although we have apparently won an initial round in ridding our region of synthetic marijuana, the fight is far from over.

Although selling the substances is now subject to a civil penalty, possessing it or using it isn’t yet illegal, law enforcement officials have warned. People can merely cross state lines to obtain it.

More comprehensive legislation is needed to criminalize its distribution, sale, possession and use.

We strongly urge our counties to adopt such legislation as soon as possible, and we implore our state and national politicians to follow suit and not waste time in ridding our society of such harmful and toxic substances.

Horace Nye should remain public

T

his is in response to the recent Editorial “Horace Nye: It's time to sell”

“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.” - Abraham Lincoln The Horace Nye Home is in my opinion the most important asset that the taxpayers of Essex County own. This facility through the years has been the final resting place for many residents who also contributed taxes and played key roles within this county for many years. In my community alone I can think of seven current residents of the Horace Nye Home that were long time successful local business owners in the Town of Moriah. One would have to wonder where these individuals would now be if the Horace Nye Home were in private ownership.

The argument that the Private homes do not accept Medicaid or Medicare is not necessarily true. Many private homes do accept this method of payment. The real issue is what percentage of the occupants are on Medicare/Medicaid? Another issue is people that are in the “Medicaid Pending” status when trying to find a home for a loved one. Most private homes will accept you if you have enough funds to pay privately for six months. Some Nursing homes that are having no difficulty filling their beds require patients to be able to pay privately for a year or more.

Privately paying residents pay more for their care than Medicaid pays for the same care. This is the reason as to why “Private” run Nursing Homes can turn a profit, and Public Nursing Homes operate in the red. It's very simple, if 90% of your residents (average for the Horace Nye) are Medicaid, your operation will not turn a profit. So what's the solution? Obviously you try to recruit as many “Private Pay” or insured residents as you can to fill the beds, as this is where they will make money.

Of course this creates a problem for the residents of this county for two basic reasons: We are a poor county, and most of our residents will be dependent on Medicare/Medicaid for their long term care needs. If they can't find a bed here, they could end up very far away from here. Albany County is proof of this, with many of their residents having to go out of state to find beds that accept Medicaid .

It was interesting to read the Editorials in both the Times of Ti and also the Valley News stating that it would be in the best interest of Essex County to sell the Horace Nye. How they made this determination I would like to know.

What facts do they have to base this decision on? Have any of them ever had a family member in need of Nursing Home care? Have they ever been in the Horace Nye Home? Have they done any research pertaining to this critical decision other than reading the Board of Supervisors minutes?

Essex County has a budget that exceeds over 100 million dollars per year. Within this budget there are many programs that we the taxpayers support that are not mandated. Education, Public Safety, Jail, Office for the Aging, Fish Hatchery, Highways, Public Health, Mental Health, Arts, Cooperative Extension, Industrial Development, Libraries, Social Service Programs, and the list goes on and on! So out of this $100million plus budget, what does our County Manager recommends that we rid ourselves of The Horace Nye Home. Through the years this home has served thousands of residents of Essex County for one reason: It's is needed! This home costs the average taxpayer around $30.00 per year on their property tax bill. I as both a member of the Board of Supervisors, and also as a taxpayer feel that this is well worth the expense.

In closing, another quote from Abraham Lincoln, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”

Essex County needs the Horace to remain public, and owned and supported by the residents of this county.

“It’s a wonderful experience,” Berube said of the fair. “The kids have been looking forward to it. They’re very excited.”

St. Mary’s School has had a Wellness Week the past three years, but this was the first time for the Wellness Fair.

Sister Shirley Anne Brown, Diocese of Ogdensburg assistant superintendent of schools, said wellness education is an important part of the Catholic school kindergarten to eighth grade curriculum.

“We have a full program emphasizing the importance of making healthy decisions,” Brown said. “We want our children to become healthy adults.”

The St. Mary’s Wellness Fair was one of six held in the diocese with the support of the Fidelis Care.

Fidelis Care, the New York State Catholic Health Plan, awarded the Diocese of Ogdensburg a $25,000 grant to support its “Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies, Happy Kids” program.

Fidelis Care offers free or low-cost health insurance through New York State’s Child Health Plus, Family Health Plus and Medicaid Managed Care programs. Members are covered for regular checkups, preventive care, routine screenings, hospital and emergency care, eye exams, dental care and more. Fidelis Care also offers a variety of benefit options for seniors through Fidelis Medicare Advantage, Dual Advantage, Medicaid Advantage Plus, and Fidelis Care at Home programs, available in certain counties.

“Fidelis Care has always valued and understood the importance of a strong community presence and enduring partnerships with community organizations that share our healing ministry within the Diocese of Ogdensburg,” said Mark L. Lane, president and CEO. “We are pleased to support such worthwhile programs and services and know that they will benefit local residents within the diocese. This is the heart of our mission.”

Brown said the St. Mary’s Wellness Fair was a good example of the “Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies, Happy Kids” program at work.

“They’ve done a beautiful job,” Brown said of the Ti fair.

“One of the important goals to is make children and families aware of the services available in a community. I think St. Mary’s has done that well.”

The Vermont Joy Band spent a week in Ticonderoga preparing for his next tour. The band includes Anna Pardenik on guitar, Dan Fancher on percussion, Taylor Smith on bass, Ben Aleshire on cornet and sousaphone, Galen Peria on accordion and piano, Devin Robinson on double bass and Benjamin Strosberg on banjo and washboard. Peria, a Ti native, is kneeling at the right.

Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what’s to be, A resting place along the road, To sweet eternity.

Vermont band brings joy to Ticonderoga

We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, W We are all meant to learn some things, But never meant to stay.

Vermont Joy Band preps for tour with visit to Ticonderoga

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Vermont Joy Parade, a Burlingtonbased band, has a simple goal.

“World domination,” Ben Aleshire exclaimed. “We want the entire world listening to our music.”

The band spent a week in Ticonderoga recently preparing for two-month spring tour that will take it from New England to the South to the Midwest and Canada. It’s the band’s sixth U.S. tour. It has twice toured Europe. The group stayed with the family of band member Galen Peria.

“Being able to spend time together rehearsing in this atmosphere is like being with family,” Devin Robinson said.

“The Perias are wonderful. They’re our biggest fans.”

The tour follows the March 31 release of Vermont Joy Parade’s second CD, “New Anthem.”

The group, which formed in 2008, has an irreverent streak and tours in a used-vegetable-oil-powered, red-painted school bus — making it reminiscent of the Merry Pranksters of the 1960s. In 1964 Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters traveled across the United States in a psychedelic-painted school bus. Their escapades were chronicled by Tom Wolfe in “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.” Among the Merry Pranksters were the Grateful Dead, Wavy Gravy and Neal Cassady.

Peria, son of Barbara and Brad Peria, doesn’t discount the comparison.

“There are comparisons to the Grateful Dead, but we’re not that easy to figure out,” said Peria, a 1999 Ticonderoga High School graduate.

Vermont Joy Parade has been described as a “circus.”

Along with its music, the band provides audiences with a series of theatrical and comical treats. There’s juggling, unicycles, extending fists and more.

“We start every show by coming out of a piano — like people getting out a clown car,” Peria said. “There’s a lot of confetti, jokes — you never know. It’s audience beware.”

The group’s name tells it all, according to Benjamin Strosberg.

“We’re from Vermont,” he said. “We really do have fun

and want to spread that joy — and every performance is like a parade.”

The Vermont Joy Parade is a seven piece ensemble featuring banjo, trumpet, accordion, guitar, upright bass and drums/percussion. Other members of the group include Anna Pardenik, Dan Fancher and Taylor Smith.

It plays a blend of Americana, old-time, country, blues, Dixieland, Cajun, jug and “suspender fusion.”

“Suspender fusion means music that sounds like it was played by a guy wearing suspenders,” Peria explained.

Vermont Joy Parade is a self-described “grassroots” band.

It has no manager and no promotional assistance. Members tour and live on the bus.

“The bus is the eighth member of the band,” Peria said.

“It’s magical. When we roll into a town it attracts a lot of attention. It’s great for stirring up curiosity.”

“It’s all about having fun and making music,” Strosberg said. “We have scheduled concerts, but we also just decide to pull over in a town and start to play music. It’s common for us to play on a street or in a park with no notice, no planning. We’ve played in Walmart parking lots, at gas stations, all over.”

Vermont Joy Parade did just that in Ticonderoga twice — once on a Lake George Avenue lawn and again at Heritage Commons nursing home.

The band came together mostly by chance. Members hail from all over, but were attracted to Burlington because of the city’s ever-growing music scene.

“The collection of talent in Burlington is amazing,” Peria said. “In a few years BurlingMy Mother ton will be mentioned right along with New Orleans and A garden Memphis.”

Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know, For some the journey’s quicker, For some the journey’ slow.

But when the journey finally ends, We’ll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord.

n between the April Showers you are likely to find a multitude of Spring days that are perfect for taking a hike in the mountains. The NCSPCA's innovative fundraising program, Peaks for Pets, is a great way to support our local shelter while taking advantage of the beauty of budding foliage and enjoy the crisp mountain air.

Peaks for Pets' website, www.peaksforpets.org, allows you to sign up for a hike and request that family and friends sponsor you by making a donation in your name. People will be able to follow your progress, see your photos, and leave comments on a FaceBook blog. There is no limit to the number of hikes you can take, and you can take them anywhere in the world; not just in the Adirondacks. Why not check out the website today and plan your next outing?

Our featured pet this week is Barney, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier-mix puppy who came into the shelter with his brothers Opie and Otis. From his enormous brown eyes to his brown-and white tail, Barney is an absolutely adorable dog. It's hard to meet his soulful gaze (which holds a twinkle of mischief) without cracking a smile. This outgoing fellow can't seem to get enough attention, whether it's playtime or just cuddling

Barney up with you and watching a good movie.

Barney loves to snuggle and be held; however, based on the size of his paws we expect he will be quite the lap-full when he finishes growing! If you are looking for a puppy with plenty of personality, Barney is the fellow for you.

Port Henry renovation discussed Funding may be available PORT HENRY — Several business owners met recently in Port Henry to discuss funding possibilities for the renovation of downtown buildings.

Presenter Sharon Reynolds, executive director of PRIDE of Ticonderoga, shared information and materials on the New York Main Street Program administered through the state Office of Community Renewal.

“The town of Ticonderoga has been very successful in obtaining funding

through the NYMS program,” Reynolds said. “These grants are extremely competitive, but it’s important that Port Henry begins the process this year, especially with the cohesiveness in which the town and village are working together to revitalize the community.”

If awarded the grant will fund both interior and exterior renovations and owners will contribute 50 percent of the construction costs.

For more information on this opportunity Port Henry building/business owners should contact Reynolds at sreynolds@prideofticonderoga.org or call 585-6366 extension 103.

MORIAH — Champlain Area Trails (CATS) is holding two Earth Day Projects on Saturday, April 21 and invites everyone to participate. The morning project starts at 9 a.m. at the Cheney Mountain Trail in Moriah and the afternoon project begins at 1 p.m. at the new Woods and Swale Trail in Westport.

“We want to showcase these two new trails,” said Chris Maron, Executive Director of CATS, “and provide opportunities for people to take part in Earth Day. At Cheney Mountain, we’ll clean up the trailhead area before hiking to see the great views. And in the afternoon, we’ll venture out on the Woods and Swale Trail and clean up litter as we return to the trailhead along Sherman Road.”

“The projects are open to everybody of all ages,” said Sheri Amsel, a CATS board member and outdoor educator. “We like to have children see nature’s wonders and show us the things we adults overlook. And these projects allow people to share knowledge and experiences about nature that they have picked up over the years.”

The Town of Moriah and Champlain Area Trails (CATS) have partnered to create the Cheney Mountain Trail. It starts by the former landfill on Pelfershire Road and follows an old logging road to the summit. The Woods and Swale Trail is on land owned by the Lee Trust at the intersection of Lakeshore Road and Sherman Road just north of Westport.

Both trails are moderately easy with some short steep areas.

“Trails are an important part of the effort to enhance the local economy,” said Tim Garrison of the Moriah Community Economic Development Group (MCEDGe). “We are pleased that Cheney Mountain has become an attractive trail for residents and tourists.”

Schroon Lake • Times of Ti - 15

Schroon Lake from page 1 All 55 school employees, who received letters informing them they were at risk of losing their jobs, will be keeping their positions under the levy. Some positions, however, were reduced to 70 percent or 20 percent of full-time but no positions were eliminated.

Members of the Schroon Lake Teachers Association also agreed forego their 2 percent raises next year for those members whose positions were not reduced in the proposed budget. They will receive their step increases under the plan.

The board also will use $50,000 more of the district’s fund balance in 2012-13, for a total of $354,000.

School Board President John Armstrong said the spending plan is a compromise meant to allow the least impact to student curriculum. Had the district attempted to adopt a budget with no changes from 201112, it would have required an 11 percent tax increase to makeup a $700,578 deficit in revenue.

“We’ve tried to cut anything and everything without making dramatic impacts to the education component and 3.99 lands us at that point,” Armstrong said.

During the April 5 meeting, Schroon Lake resident Don Miller asked the school board if it was confident the district would adopt a levy as high as 3.99 percent with a 60 percent majority vote.

“If the community comes out and says 3.99 isn’t acceptable then obviously we’ll have to cut back to the minimum and we’ll have to go back in and go after some of those areas that have been on the table for possible reduction,” Armstrong said.

Superintendent Bonnie Finnerty said the bottom line is the students will continue to have opportunities under the 3.99 tax increase.

Should the budget get voted down, other areas of reduction could include the elimination of kindergarten and pre-kindergarten, the music program, and sports program, district officials have said.

Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors gather at the chamber’s annual winter social recently. From left are: Chamber President Mike Bush, who is vice president of Inn Ministries of the Word of Life Inn & Conference Center; Sharon Piper, owner of Schroon Lake B&B; Town of Schroon Supervisor Mike Marnell; chamber Past President Laura Donaldson, owner of Rocky Acres Inn and Rocky Acres Sewing & Alterations; and Secretary/Treasurer Pete Johnson. Other chamber directors are Vice President Tony Kostecki, general director of Seagle Music Colony; Shelby Davis, owner of Shelby's Kitchen Therapy & Mr P's Mountain Smokehouse; Patti Mehm, owner of The Towne Store and Lakeview Inn; and Tim Vander Wiele, owner of Mountain Petroleum.

Jellystone Park to open in North Hudson NORTH HUDSON — North Hudson’s award winning Jellystone Park opens for its twentieth season Friday, April 27. Located off 187 exit 29 between Lake George and Lake Placid, it is the only Jellystone Park in the Adirondacks.

According to Mike Lenhard, owner of Yogi Bear @ Paradise Pines, along with his wife Gina, “This season will be filled with many events and activities for the entire family. As we approach our twentieth year, we have a number of new additions to the facility that promises to bring old-fashioned fun and games to our campers.

We have new cabins, yurts, and rv rentals for daily, weekly and monthly rentals. We are adding a new inflatable water slide,.

Adding more daily fun along with the jumping pillow installed last summer. Lenhard continued, “Our team will provide hands on ac-

tivities every few hours, and Yogi Bear and Boo Boo will make appearances throughout the day.”

Lenhard said that his team of experienced professionals will run an immaculate facility with creative and efficient programs that will help make positive family memories for decades to come.

As a great alternative to a cruise or air vacation, Jellystone Park is now taking reservations for their season. Each weekend will be a different themed activity, and all information is listed at www.paradisepines.com. The office is open seven days a week from 9a.m. to 7 p.m. and they invite everyone interested to come and tour the facility and to begin to make plans to join the excitement.

County approves purchase of new hatchery truck Crown Point facility

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — A routine inspection turned out to be anything but for Essex County Fish Hatchery Supervisor Steve LaMere.

LaMere addressed the Essex County Ways and Means Committee March 25, seeking funds to purchase a new vehicle and further repairs to the facility from a fund that was previously set aside for waterline repairs at the hatchery.

The committee passed the resolution on to the full board.

Recently, LaMere took a Ford F-150 truck that is used for stocking, plowing and other work at the fish hatchery in Crown Point in for inspection. He said that he knew there were problems with the truck, but did not know just how bad it was.

“We were informed that the vehicle was uninspectable,” he said. “It is the only fleet vehicle that we have other than the stocking truck.”

“This ties our hands as far as the inspection,” Department

Strawberry Festival to return to Crown Point this June

of Public Works Supervisor Anthony LaVigne said. “The old days of just slapping a sticker on it are gone.”

LaMere requested that the board approve the use of funds to purchase a 3/4-ton truck with an 8-foot box and plow package from a reserve account that was created initially for a water line repair project that never happened because the cost came in above budget.

“That size box would allow us to put all of our portable stocking tanks on there, and we need a plow package because that is the truck that we will use to move snow,” he said. “The project never got off the ground, and the money just sat there in an inactive account.

“After Tropical Storm Irene, we had several issues and were able to get them fixed through funding from FEMA and others, so our water lines are now in pretty good condition,” he said.

County Manager Daniel Palmer said that the purchase could run between $25,000 and $30,000.

While supervisors agreed the new truck was needed, some asked if there would be a chance to rebuild the truck body, which was heavily damaged. LaMere said that, based on the recent history of the truck, he would rather start with a new vehicle.

“This truck has been in the shop more than it has been in the fish hatchery,” LaMere said. “I would hate to squander this opportunity to purchase a new truck and try and fix the old one only to come back a couple months later with another major issue like a transmission.”

County Attorney Daniel Manning said that the board would have to transfer the $106,000 in the waterline reserve fund into another reserve fund that would purchase the vehicle.

“You can take $25,000 out of the waterline reserve fund

and put it into a reserve fund for a truck,” Manning said.

“Then you can figure out what you want to do with the rest of the money and transfer it into another reserve account.”

LaVigne said that a possibility for the remainder of the money could be to replace the rest room facilities at the fish hatchery, which had been deemed in code violation.

Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said he felt the extra reserve money should go toward the general budget.

“I think that we should take this money and put it toward relieving the 2 percent tax cap that we now face every year,” Scozzafava said.

“Steve has done an excellent job, and he is not someone who has spent money just because he has it and the money is reserved to the fish hatchery,” Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said. “This will help the tax cap because he will not have to come back to the board and ask for money to fix this problem.”

“This money was taken out of the general fund for the use of the fish hatchery,” Manning said. “I think that it would be common sense to keep this money with the hatchery.”

Sentinels must find hurlers Pitching will be key

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga is looking for a ace this spring.

The Sentinel baseball team, a perennial Champlain Valley Athletic Conference power, enters the 2012 season with an inexperienced pitching staff.

“We lost a lot in our pitching department and the remaining players who pitch have very little time and experience on the mound,” Coach Dan Dorsett said. “We must work extremely hard to be good on defense to make up for while while taking full advantage of all opportunities on the offensive end.

“We must pitch well to compete like we have in the past,” Dorsett said.

Tyler Tucker, who posted a 4-1 record, and Tanner Purkey, who topped Ti with a 1.34 ERA last season, are both gone.

Taking the hill for the Sentinels this spring will be Jordan Woods, Tanner Wright, Miles Austin, Nate Lenhart and Quentin Austin.

The news is not all bad for Ticonderoga, which was 10-5 overall and 7-4 in CVAC play last season. The Sentinels return a pair of conference all stars in Miles Austin and Doug Wilson.

A middle infielder, Miles Austin had a .611 on base percentage and led the club with 14 runs last season.

Wilson, a first baseman, paced Ticondero-

ga with a .526 batting average in 2011.

Also returning to the infield will be Woods, Wright and Logan Ross. New to the infield is Quentin Austin.

Lenhart and Joe Gonyeau return to roam the Sentinel outfield. They’re joined by rookies Allen Zheng, Troy Granger and Anthony Costello.

Catching will be Aaron Bush and Wright.

“Jordan Woods and Tanner Wright should help on both ends (offense and defense), while three-year starter Nate Lenhart will provide solid play and leadership,” Dorsett said.

Assisting Dorsett in the dugout this spring will be Rick McClintock and Scott Nephew.

Ticonderoga expects continued success Sentinels return six softball starters

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga dominated Champlain Valley Athletic Conference softball for more than a April 17.....at Lake Placid decade. This season April 19.....NAC should be no different.

April 21.....at Seton The Sentinels return April 24.....Beekmantown six starters, including April 26.....at Saranac Lake two of the league’s top April 28.....at Moriah pitchers, from their April 30.....at NCCS 2011 team that won the May 2........AVCS CVAC and Section VII May 4........Peru Class championships.

May 7........Lake Placid “We’re looking forMay 9........at Saranac ward to a strong seaMay 11......at NAC son,” Coach Shannon May 14......Plattsburgh Huntington said, “and, May 16......Seton barring any injuries, May 18......Moriah hope to again repeat as May 21......at AVCS sectional champions.”

Jordan McKee and Kiley Austin return to the mound, giving Ticonderoga what may be the best 1-2 combination in the North Country.

They’ll get help from battery mate Katie Palandrani, who returns as catcher.

Megan Campney is moving from the outfield to play first base. She’ll be joined on the infield by second baseman Emily Namer, shortstop Melissa Pockett and third sacker Lexi Moore. Moore is the lone rookie on the infield.

Andrea Rich, Autumn Olcott and Carrie Bevins return to

roam the Sentinel outfield. They’re joined by rookies Jaelyn Granger and Michaela Connors. When Olcott’s not in the outfield, she’ll share the catching duties with Palandrani.

Not only do most of the Sentinels have CVAC experience, almost all have played summer and winter league softball.

“A majority of our players played on a summer travel team and also in the fast pitch winter league at the Adirondack Dome,” Huntington said, “so that gives us an advantage for the upcoming season.”

Huntington shared the coaching duties with Shelly Young.

The pair co-coached the Sentinels the past nine years, compiling a 105-10 CVAC record while going 122-28 overall.

TICONDEROGA — It’s impossible to do better than the Ticonderoga boys track team did in 2011. The Sentinels were undefeated in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference action.

Repeating that accomplishment will not be an easy task.

Ti lost eight key performers to graduation last spring.

“The loss of last year ’s state qualifying 400-meter relay team members, our top distance runners Jay Berube and Joshua Cook, long and triple jumpers Jonathan Granger and Luke Bartlett and our top high jumper Jesse Perkins will have an impact on our team,” Coach Walter Thorne said.

Schroon unwilling to concede SCHROON LAKE — Among the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference elite in recent years, the Schroon Lake baseball team enters 2012 as an underdog.

And that’s just fine with Coach Mike Sharp.

“I think Crown Point will be the team to beat this year, but we don’t plan on them just walking away with it,” Sharp said. “Chazy will give them a run for their money as we plan to make it tough for all of them.”

The Wildcats lost some key players to graduation from the 2011 team that went 62 in the MVAC and 9-5 overall.

We have some gaps to fill,” Sharp said.

“Probably the toughest spot to fill will be the loss of Anthony Vanderwalker at catcher.

Lance Paradis will be tough to replace, too.

Both boys had good baseball knowledge and good leadership skills.”

The cupboard isn’t bare, though. Schroon returns most of its infield.

Matt Savarie, Jeff Armstrong, Jimmy Bowen, Eric Paradis, Justin Lough, Joe DeZalia and Nathan Wilson will all see time on the infield this spring.

“Most of our infield is back, but we have some players moving around,” Sharp said.

“Jimmy Bowen has moved from second to

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — If Schroon Lake pitchers can throw strikes, the Wildcats could have a very good softball season.

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Coach Casey Nephew is emphasizing pitching and defense to his Moriah baseball team this spring. “The keys to success will be our pitching defense,� Nephew said. “They need to be consistent.�

Tim Breeyear returns at first base, Trevor Cheney at second base and Jimmy Curran and Jeff Greenough at shortstop.

Rounding out the infield are rookies Jake Stevenson, Tommy Callahan, Jessup Calkins, John Wallace and Dakota Marcotte.

Mike Badger, Jordan Greenough, Dave Quinn and Craig MacDougal give the Vikings experience in the outfield. New to the outfield are Dillon Adkins, Wallace and Calkins.

Justin Cutting returns to do the catching.

Pitching could be a strength for Moriah. Jeff Greenough, Jordan Greenough, Curran and Breeyear all have experience on the hill. Marcotte is also expected to hurl.

Experience and leadership will be important to the Vikings. “We will rely on leadership from Curran, Jeff Greenough, Breeyear and Cutting to be successful,� Nephew said. “Curran and Greenough are four-year starters and Breeyear and Cutting have been starters for three.�

Pitching expected to lift Vikings; Moriah players versatile

Panthers return entire pitching staff Crown Point a MVAC favorite

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point may be the team to beat this Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference season.

The Panthers return seven starters — including five pitchers — from a year ago when they posted a 6-3 MVAC mark and 7-4 overall record.

Leading the team will be the battery of Michael DuShane and Nate Tabor, both first-team MVAC all stars in 2011. They shared the team lead in batting and runs batted in last season. Tabor was the Panther ’s top pitcher and DuShane was his catcher.

“Nathan Tabor is an all-around leader both offensively and defen-

sively,” Coach Randy Pertak said.

“Nate was selected as divisional first team last year. Nate will be anchoring the pitching staff.

DuShane was one of our top offensive threats last year.”

Also returning to the Crown Point line up are Tanner Macey,

Gabe Macey and Joe Foote. All were first-team all-conference selections in 2011.

The veteran pitching staff will feature Tabor, Tanner Macey, Gabe Macey, Dan Groshans and Jaice Spring along with rookie Robbie Macey.

The infield will include Tabor, Tanner Macey, Gabe Macey, Groshans and Spring when they aren’t on the mound.

The outfield will have Foote along side veterans Duke Mildon and Jon Spaulding with rookies Calvin Arno, Jordan McIntosh and Robbie Macey. Foote led the Panthers in runs scored last season.

“The outfield will be returning starter Joe Foote from last year,” Pertak said. “Also returning after a year off due to injury is Jon Spaulding. As a freshman two years ago, Jon was one of the best defensive outfielders in the league, and also one of the best power hitters. Also

Michael DuShane returns to the Crown Point line up this spring. A first team all star, he led the Panthers in hitting and RBI in 2011.

returning to the outfield this year is Duke Mildon.”

DuShane will again anchor the

defense behind the plate.

“This team should be very competitive,” Pertak said.

Lady Panthers eye continued success this softball season Graduation hit Crown Point hard

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Can Crown Point’s softball team do it again?

The Panthers won their sixth straight Section VII Class D championship last season en route to a 15-1 campaign. They won the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference title with a 10-0 record along the way.

Just how good were those Panthers? They won the MVAC title game 17-1 against Minerva-Newcomb and the section

champion 18-2 against Elizabethtown-Lewis.

That winning tradition will be tested in 2012. The Panthers only return six players, losing the corps of last season’s roster to graduation.

“It’s going to be interesting with so many new and young players,” Coach Mike Ross said. “I’ve never had a team with three eighth graders and a ninth grader on it.”

Strong pitching has been a hallmark of Crown Point’s success and 2012 may be more of the same. Alex Macey, who had mound success last spring, returns to anchor the pitching staff. She’ll be joined in the pitcher ’s circle by Mara Malone.

Hailey White, a key offensive player a year ago, and Ellen Kiely return to the roam the Panther outfield. They’re joined

Lack of sprinters a problem for Ti Sentinel girls concerned about depth

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Depth will again be a problem for the Ticonderoga girls track team, particularly in the sprints and jumps.

“We have 12 girls returning from last year ’s team,” Coach Walter Thorne said. “Unfortunately seven are throwers and four are distance. Lack of depth is our biggest weakness. We need help in the sprints and jumps, and everyone wants to throw. We need someone to step up for the team.”

Courtney Shaner is Ti’s lone returning sprinter, but she’s a good one. Shaner is consistently among the top finishers in Section VII. Also sprinting will be Ashlyn LaPerle and Megan Moser.

The Sentinel distance crew will feature Rebecca Barber, Alaina Bevilacqua, Hannah Herbst and Tabitha Taylor. All have cross country experience and Herbst made the state XC championship meet last fall.

The throwers include Delaney Bush, Miranda Davis, Abi-

Ti Track from page 22 Jesse Perkins and Luke Bartlett and Jonathan Granger, will certainly have an impact on us as well, but we look forward to the challenge.”

The cupboard isn’t bare, though. The Sentinels return 18 athletes, including Jay Hebert, who took fourth place in the 55-meter hurdles at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association indoor track championships at Cornell University March 4. Hebert finished in 7.65 seconds. The winner, Oswego’s Cory Keefe, won in 7.49.

Joining Hebert in the sprints and jumps will be veterans James Cook, Coleman Granger, Keegan Tierney and Dennis Townes. New to the sprints and jumps are Matt Cook, Derek Bevins, Justyn Granger, Kyle McCoy and Marcus Moser.

Javeed Nazir, Ben Karkoski and Tyler Belden, who each qualified for the state cross country championship last fall, are expected to pace the distance runners. Joining them in the distance events are Shawn Silliman, Brandon Charboneau, Martin Glazer, Cody O’Hara, Andrew Tersteege, Ethan Bain, John Cook, Ryan Price and Kody Quigley.

Joss Ross and Townes will lead the Sentinels in the throwing events. Also heaving the shot and discus will be O’Hara, Ryan Borho, Steve Bussey, Jake Demarais, Blake Gautreau, Cody Shaner, Zechariah Yaw and Corey King.

“Attitude and team balance will be our main strengths,” Thorne said. “We saw a lot of improvement during the in-

Sentinel linksters hopeful this season Talent, depth on roster

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga golf team enters the 2012 season with reason for optimism.

The squad has twice as many members and a key player from two years ago has returned to the roster.

“This year ’s crop in a word is enthusiastic,” Coach John Dreimiller said. “I’m happy to have a more substantial group and look forward to greater flexibility, if not greater competitiveness.”

Leading the Sentinels will be veteran Adam Losher and Nick Bezon. Losher was Ti’s top linkster a year ago and Bezon, whose family moved away and is now back, has returned after a year living on golf ’s most hallowed ground, Augusta, Ga., home of the Masters.

“Losher had improved his average a whopping six strokes by season’s end last spring,” Dreimiller said. “Bezon when he last competed, by five.”

Also returning are junior Karney Manning and sopho-

Schroon Softball from page 22 Schroon Lake posted a 4-6 Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference and 6-7 overall record in 2011.

To improve this spring pitchers Miranda DeZalia, Molly Wisser and Kiana Fiore will have to get the ball over the plate. Only DeZalia has varsity experience.

“So far the pitchers look sharp and ready to go,” Cutting said.

The 2012 Wildcats will be without last season’s statistical leaders. Rebecca Armstrong hit .425, Ashley Subra had five mound wins, and Lizz Bessey and Jocelyn Bowen each had 15 runs batted in. All have graduated.

Gabe Harvey returns at first base to anchor the infield.

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake will field a strong, deep golf team this spring.

The Wildcats, who posted a 6-2 record in 2011, have 18 linksters on the roster this season. There are eight seniors, giving Schroon one of the most experienced squads in the

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Experience and depth should help the Moriah golf team this spring.

The Vikings have six players returning from last season’s 1-9 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference club. They’re joined by eight rookies.

It’s all about fun for the Panthers this season

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Golf should be fun.

That’s the first lesson Coach John Swinton teaches his Crown Point Panther team.

“We're looking to have fun and enjoy ourselves this season,” Swinton said. “A lot of the team played last year, so they already know what to expect and obviously enjoy the game, so that is a start.”

Crown Point posted a 1-7 Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference record last sea-

son.

Returning from that team are seniors Brittani Boyle and Keegan Choffat, junior Michaela Comes, sophomore Sam LaPointe, freshman Jacob Anderson and eighth graders Josh Behrendt, Noah LaPointe and Bryce Clarke.

New to the roster are freshman Mary Cole, eighth grader Tyler St. Pierre and seventh grader John Roch Sears.

“We are still improving, but one thing that we’re sure of is that we are going to enjoy our time and meeting new students from

other schools,” Swinton said. “I know that personally I'm excited to see Connor and Smitty Marvin from Elizabethtown and share my excitement for Connor's heart and health. Surely, it has been a trying few years for them and to get back on the golf course where they love to be is really a great thing.”

Elizabethtown-Lewis student Connor Marvin, 16, underwent heart transplant surgery at the Boston Children’s Hospital March 1. His older brother, Brock, underwent the same procedure at the same hospital Dec. 11, 2010.
