Celebration to mark bridge opening Event set for May 19-20

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The Lake Champlain Bridge is a key to the region’s success. If there was ever any doubt about it, residents quickly learned of the span’s importance when it was unexpectedly closed in 2009.

Now, with a new bridge in place, a party will

be held May 19 and 20 to highlight the link between New York and Vermont.

The Lake Champlain Bridge Community, composed of New York and Vermont residents, will hold a grand opening gala for the span. “Things are going very well; it’ll be a wonderful event,� said Sue Hoxie, Lake Champlain Bridge Community communications chairwomen. “We have lots of artists, performers, craftspeople. We’ll have tents set up on both sides of the lake, New York and Vermont. It’ll be great.�

Ceremony to open Ti Emergency Squad building May 12

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Although it’s been in use for several months, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony to formally open the new Ticonderoga Emergency Squad Building Saturday, May 12.

The 1 p.m. ribbon cutting will be part of a day-long celebration.

The ribbon-cutting is planned by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce. Other events will be held by the emergency squad.

The new EMS facility is located at 118 Champlain Avenue.

Other events scheduled to mark the new building include a mass causality incident drill at 10 a.m. and a free community barbecue with hot dogs and hamburgers following the ribbon cutting. There

will also be a basket raffle and a 50-50 drawing.

The MCI drill will be coordinated with the Ticonderoga Emergency Squad, Ticonderoga Fire Department, Chilson Fire Department, Essex County Emergency Services and Inter-Lakes Health as well as agencies from Schroon Lake, Crown Point, Hague and Moriah.

Tours of the facility and ambulances will be available throughout the day.

The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad had been located in a small garage behind the Community Building since 1963. That building long-ago became too small for a modern ambulance corps. The location also caused concerns about emergency vehicles pulling into traffic.

The new building, constructed by D.L. Paige Construction, is 4,100 square feet with access from Champlain Avenue and The Portage.

The new building is on the site of the old Ticonderoga Civic Center and was sold to the ambulance squad in 2009 by the town of Ticonderoga.

The building includes two drive through bays, a meeting room, offices, kitchen, lounge and storage areas, Morse said. It also has a state-of-the-art propane heating system that automatically adjusts to weather conditions. It also has a generator so it can remain operational during power outages. The architect was Steve Jung of Schroon Lake.

The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad receives no taxpayer funding from Ticonderoga and operates strictly on donations, insurance billing and donations.

The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad has 30 members, including 12 basic emergency medical technicians, three critical care emergency medical technicians and one paramedic. It has three ambulances. The Ti squad is the only North Country unit with a “thumper,” an auto-pulse cardiopulmonary resuscitation device.

In 2011 the squad responded to 526 calls. In 2010 the squad answered 620 calls.

The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

TICONDEROGA — Four members of InterLakes Health’s surgical team attended specialized training recently at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.

Julie Cruickshank, RN, Linda Kimball, RN, Francine Carson, RN, and Michelle Rodriguez, operating room technician, spent three full days reviewing standards of excellence in surgery protocol and learning new and upcoming clinical techniques in the field.

Since that time, Fletcher Allen, a teaching hospital, has expanded learning opportunities for InterLakes Health’s clinical staff. Moses-Ludington Hospital, part of Inter-Lakes Health, employs over 30 nurses including 17 registered nurses (RN).

“We have very skilled nurses with diverse backgrounds” says Kristin Thompson, director of clinical operations. “We have nurses who have experience working in hospitals throughout the United States.

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — St. Mary’s School students received a sweet treat recently. The world’s largest chocolate bar visited the Ticonderoga school.

Weighing 12,190 pounds the bar was produced by World’s Finest Chocolate. It is 4 feet wide, 3 feet tall and 21 feet long. It contains a whopping 1,200 pounds of almonds, 5,500 pounds of sugar, 2,000 pounds of milk powder, 1,700 pounds of cocoa butter and 1,400 pounds of chocolate liquor.

Putnam from page 1 trend that is expected to continue.

There are now 32 students in the prekindergarten through sixth grade school with another 38 Putnam students attending Ticonderoga Middle School and Ti High School through a tuition arrangement.

Those numbers mean few changes in the proposed 2012-13 Putnam Central School budget.

The proposed 2012-13 district spending plan totals $2,193,248. That’s a $40,934 — 1.9 percent — increase from the current budget of $2,152,314.

It has been certified by Guiness World Records as the “World’s Largest Chocolate Bar.” But while students were tempted, no one got a bite. In fact, the they were given a lesson in moderation.

The gigantic chocolate bar is part of the “Think Big, Eat Smart” educational program that teaches students about portion control.

“The tour uses the upbeat multimedia display to take the message of eating right and staying fit to students during presentations at schools,” explained Sarah Lynn Brannan, program director. “Students are encouraged

to practice portion control and exercise, and they are all given free jump ropes.

“The giant chocolate bar is just meant to get their attention and make the message more memorable,” she said.

Students took part in a lesson inside and had the opportunity to go outside and see the actual giant candy bar.

Chocolate bars are no strangers to St. Mary’s School. The school annually sells candy bars made by World’s Finest Chocolate to support its programs. This spring St. mary’s students sold 12,500 chocolate bars.

Putnam’s proposed 2012-13 tax levy is $1,689,033. That’s a $44,146 — 1.9 percent — increase from the present tax levy of $1,644,887.

The state tax cap for Putnam Central School is 2.79 percent.

Voters will decide on the proposed budget Tuesday, May 15, 1 to 8 p.m. in the school gym.

Superintendent Matt Boucher said the spending proposal has no major changes — increases or decreases — from the present budget.

Putnam voters will also fill one seat on the board of education. Running are Gerry Gendron and Cynthia Floor.

Postal Service bailout a flawed plan

T

he United States Postal Service — the country’s second-largest civilian employer after Wal-Mart — is on the brink of a colossal financial meltdown.

As USPS stares bankruptcy in the face, some people believe it is up the House to do what the Senate has already done and pass legislation to keep the Postal Service and its 571,566 full-time jobs intact.

We do not, and apparently neither does the Postal Service’s management.

It is not surprising that the Postal Service finds itself in this financial quagmire.

The growing popularity of e-mail and electronic bill payments has sent mail volume plummeting in the past decade. In just the past five years, the Postal Service's annual volume declined by 43 billion pieces. First Class mail declined 25 percent in the same period of time.

Faced with billion-dollar-deficits and a business model that is slowly going the way of the 8-track tape, Postal Service officials, to their credit, came up with a restructuring plan they hoped would keep them solvent.

It was a financially prudent strategy that called for the closing of up to 252 mail-processing centers — including the one in Plattsburgh — as well as 3,700 post offices — including many in small, rural communities all over the North Country; places such as Schuyler Falls, New Russia, Riparius, North Hudson, Bakers Mills, Ellenburg and Moriah Corners.

The concept is simple enough — less mail means less need for offices and employees.

The restructuring plan, which also proposed halting Saturday delivery, was supposed to save some $6.5 billion a year — and stop the financial hemorrhage.

In the last five years alone, the Postal Service has lost $25 billion and is projected to lose another $14 billion by the end of this year. It loses $25 million a day.

Only 20 percent of its offices are profitable, and its employee expenses are way out of line with those in the private sector. Wages and benefits for its 571,566 full-time employees account for 80 percent of its operating budget, compared with 61 percent of UPS's and 43 percent of FedEx's.

The average USPS employee makes $83,000 in salary and benefits annually, much more than most other federal employees.

Many post offices and branches that face closure provide very little revenue. In fact, 84 percent of the locations on the closure list take in less than $27,500 in annual revenue and have less than two hours of work a day, according to Dean Granholm, the Postal Service's delivery and operations vice

president.

But, instead of allowing the Postal Service to save itself — and the taxpayer — from disaster, Washington is playing election-year politics and has proposed an $11 billion bailout that will keep the Postal Service limping along a few more years.

After that, if the Postal Service is not allowed to eliminate expenses it will need to return with its hand out again, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has said.

“It is totally inappropriate in these economic times to keep unneeded facilities open. There is simply not enough mail in our system today,” the Postal Service's board of governors said in a statement.

Nevertheless, the U.S. Senate passed a bailout bill in late April, with senators from both parties lining up in favor.

The bill would save Saturday delivery and rescue about half the mail processing centers the Postal Service wants to close, cutting the list from 252 to 125.

Not surprisingly, the processing centers that would survive are in states whose senators were sponsors of the postal bill — like Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Missouri and Vermont, according to a preliminary list obtained by The Associated Press.

Therein lies the problem.

This is not about “saving an iconic American institution that still delivers 500 million pieces of mail a day,” as bill co-sponsor Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut put it.

It is little more than an election-year gimmick to give senators the ability to stand at a podium in November, pounding their chests while telling voters through toothy grins that they stood against postal closures.

The bailout money is nothing more than a BandAid to get the Postal Service through the election cycle. Without real reform, it remains doomed to extinction.

The bill now goes to the House for consideration, with a May 15 deadline looming when postal officials have vowed to start making cuts.

Let’s hope the outcome will be a long-term plan to save America’s 200-year-old Postal Service, and not another spending binge at the expense of the American taxpayer in the interest of those seeking re-election.

Letters to the Editor

Time for county supervisors to get out of their chairs To the Times of Ti: An article that appeared in the Sunday, May 6, 2012 Press Republican was titled: Essex County Supervisors fear sitting on a Powder Keg.” Perhaps this is a message for them to get off their “chairs” and start addressing some of the many problems of Essex County.

First - A study was made concerning Horace Nye which addressed costs, etc., several years ago. Why not review the study to see if the findings could be used to make operational costs more attainable? The results might possibly indicate a procedure to enable Essex County to continue with local management rather than selling to an outside entity.

Local people who manage the home understand the cares and needs of North Country residents. With outside ownership the familiarity that the patients now have would be lost.

Review the study and save one of our most treasured facilities if possible.

Second - If Essex County had five legislators instead of 18 supervisors, we would have to purchase only five chairs, pay five salaries versus 18 and disperse expense accounts and benefits for five legislators rather than 18 supervisors. This study has also been done and has proven to be more effective in other counties.

Get out of those chairs and address two pressing issues rather than sitting back in new comfortable chairs doing little to address Essex County and its problems. There are more pressing problems than outdated chairs.

Teachers save Ti district money To the Times of Ti: This letter is in response to Mr. (Tom) Allen’s letter to the editor concerning health insurance costs. Unfortunately, Mr. Allen is trying to sway voters with misinformation. Mr. Allen refers to a Post-Star article that discusses rising insurance costs in Glens Falls area schools.

We are fortunate that we do not belong to this health care consortium. In our insurance consortium, consisting of schools in our local BOCES district, there will be a 0 percent increase in health insurance premiums. This is partnered with this current budget year that also has a 0 percent increase in premiums.

The reason for this is in 2009 the Ticonderoga Teachers Association agreed to go to a Plan B health insurance option.

Since 2009, the Ticonderoga Central School District has realized a savings of over $460,000 in health insurance premiums. Partner that with three years of concessions that total approximately $900,000. These figures tell me that the teachers association has shown a vested interest in the school district and community.

Mr. Allen goes on to attack the board of education as being pro-teacher. Mr. Allen, I attend most school board meetings. I can tell you that the current board, as well as board members who have preceded them—Dr. William Brennan, Dick Frazier, Jay Fortino, Nan Reale and Gary Davis just to name a few — are not pro-teacher, they are pro-children and pro-education.

Rick Smith President Ticonderoga Teachers Association

Ti budget plan saves programs To the Times of Ti:

Unhappy with Schroon budget To the Times of Ti:

On April 19 the Ticonderoga Central School District adopted a proposed spending plan of $17,849,823 for the 2012-2013 school year. This plan is $1,148,124 less than the current budget and represents a 6.04 percent decrease in spending.

The proposed budget will increase the tax levy by 3.5 percent but does stay within the 2 percent property tax cap formula, which takes effect this year. The estimated increase in taxes on a $100,000 home will be $38 based on current assessments and equalization rates.

The district has worked hard to include the community throughout this process and conducted many workshops, hearings and informational sessions since January. All the information presented during these forums can be found on the district website at ticonderogak12.org.

The budget includes a number of cuts to staff and program, but for the most part keeps programs for students intact. One factor that was critical in achieving this was a district-wide freeze on all wages and salaries, which saved $728,000 for the 2012-13 school year. This is the third consecutive year teachers and administrators have made concessions, and we are one of only four school districts in the entire state to do this. Concessions over the past three years have total over $1.1 million.

Over the past few weeks there has been some confusion about the cost related to the district’s health insurance plan.

Recent articles (letters to the editor) refer to health insurance increases of 12 percent, however these costs are associated with a health insurance consortium that is not associated with Ticonderoga. Our district belongs to the Clinton-Essex-Warren-Washington Consortium (CEWW), which consists of the 17 schools within our BOCES. The CEWW Consortium offers two plans, A and B. All of our active employees are enrolled in Plan B, and this plan is significantly less expensive that Plan A. The premiums for the 2012-2013 school year are: Plan B Family $16,704; Plan B Individual $6,418; Plan A Family $19,704; Plan A Individual $7,381.

All of our active employees contribute 10 percent toward this premium, and we are the only school district in our consortium that has all active employees enrolled in Plan B. It should also be pointed out that because the plan encourages employees to be better consumers of health care, the premiums for Plan B have not increased over the past two years.

The board recognizes that health care is a tremendous liability for the district, and it will continue to work with its employees to reduce the exposure in the future for our taxpayers.

The vote on the proposed budget will be on May 15 from noon to 8 p.m. at the Ticonderoga High School lobby and Hague Community Center. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Central Office at 585-7400 ext. 1135, or visit the district’s website. The board would like to acknowledge the participation from residents thus far during this difficult budget process, and looks forward for continued feedback in the future.

Concerned with column To the Times of Ti: There is a long-standing disdain among professional journalists for newspaper publishers and CEO's who write editorial columns in their own publications. Publishers are often owners or part-owners of their pages or generally represent the business end of a newspaper corporation. They hire, they fire, they have a lot of control and influence but they lay off editorial pages. They leave that province to their editors. I do not find opinion columns by the Publisher of the Press Republican. Arthur Sulzberger does not write editorials in the New York Times. Rupert Murdoch doesn't scribble for any of his vast stable of publications. He is currently under attack and judicial questioning for-- among other things — undue influence on his editors..

But readers of the Valley News are subject—week in, week out—to the highly personal views of its Publisher and CEO. His sermons on every subject under the sun dominate the editorial page of the Valley News. They even dominate it typographically. By contrast the weekly “Valley News Editorial” featured as the collaborative opinion of eight editors is squeezed into a single column often not equal to the space reserved for the Publisher and CEO. Why is that?

It is usually a one-sided editorial the Publisher and CEO offers his readers. In his most recent effort (May 5) he bemoans the fact that he finds few people between the "left" and the "right," who are "evenly balanced in the middle of our political landscape." Presumably the middle of that landscape is what he occupies. But in the very same column the Publisher and CEO finds room for a partisan criticism President Obama's fiscal policies and fund raising practices.

I suppose Mr. Alexander would rate my political views well on the left though I find nothing very unusual or left about them. This left-right terminology is itself a kind of summary dismissal of other people's views. All of which brings to mind what the Good Book recommends: Physician, Heal Thyself! And lets get a second or even a third opinion.

Carl Resek, Westport

Information disseminated to the public as to the Schroon Lake Central School budget paints a hunky-dory picture, but fails to disclose the following: 1) Despite the immeasurable improvement he brought to the instrumental program, to the quality of the band’s performances and to his student’s understanding of music and music theory, Mr. Michael Banewicz, now completing just his second year as band teacher here will not be returning.

He has been a rare gift to our students, and I blame Superintendent (Bonnie) Finnerty for his decision to resign and the school board for accepting his resignation without question.

2) The only foreign language, French, along with technology and various music, art, and sports programs have been cut by 30 percent and some have been eliminated – more of Ms. Finnerty’s handiwork, approved by a board of “sheep.”

We need to make some changes to the board with our votes on May 15.

School funding changes needed To the Times of Ti: Our Ti school district has weathered past financial crises.

This one, given the recession and its aftermath, is arguably different. It already affects just about everyone – parents, employees, students and taxpayers – and threatens the quality of education here and elsewhere.

Past solutions have generally been limited to burdensome spikes in the property tax levy or, more recently, unpleasant budget cuts. That’s because New York gives individual districts the basic responsibility for school funding, supplemented by state aid often based more on Albany’s political and fiscal considerations than local need.

Projecting various future fiscal scenarios for our district – not untypical of others – suggests this antiquated system won’t work anymore.

Individual property tax burdens statewide, even with the cap, now exceed what is generally considered reasonable and tolerable – much of it due to Albany’s taxation and fiscal policies. Nearly 700,000 moderate income households pay an unsustainable 10 percent or more of their income in property tax on their homes.

High property tax increases are no longer a viable solution.

But neither can budget cuts continue indefinitely without damaging programs. Without extraordinary concessions made recently by teachers and other employees, we’d be in deep trouble already.

The need for austerity will likely remain. Unless the economy rebounds to past levels, additional spending restraint appears indispensable. But what might be thought reasonable and tolerable in that regard will probably not by itself close budget gaps, and we can’t keep balancing budgets with pay freezes or other unsustainable measures.

The solution: Spending austerity must be combined with new revenue, and that revenue must come largely from the state itself – not just more aid, but a commitment to gradually assume the primary funding responsibility as part of a new statewide system that will prevent these crises.

As Ti Superintendent John McDonald has often explained, the current system is especially unkind to districts like ours, since our high property values can effectively reduce state aid even as the district’s high needs status warrants an increase.

Now is the time to demand thoughtful, logical change that will promote greater funding equity for schools statewide, preserve quality, gradually reduce the overdependence on the burdensome property tax, and ultimately reduce costs.

Personally, I expect to support the proposed 2012-13 budget. I think our board has done about all one can reasonably expect in this one year.

But whatever the voting results, we’ll remain in crisis. The board should resolve now to seriously explore the need for systemic funding change, drawing on resources of the School Boards Association and exploiting the opportunity afforded by the governor ’s new Education Reform Commission. I hope teachers and other employees and residents particularly parents of current and future students - will encourage and support this effort.

The state can do better for its children. It’s time we insist on it. It is, after all, our state, just as it is our school, our kids and our future.

Vendors sought for Ti StreetFest; event set for July 28

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — StreetFest will return to Ticonderoga this summer.

Sponsored by the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership Enterprise Committee, the fourth annual event will be held along Ti’s main street Saturday, July 28, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Montcalm Street will be closed from Lake George Avenue to Champlain Avenue for the event, creating a pedestrian mall in the down-

town area.

StreetFest is an annual community celebration of arts and crafts, shopping, food, fun, entertainment, and family activities to bring people to Ticonderoga’s historic Montcalm Street district.

New events are being included this year.

Vendors are now being sought for the event.

“Our committee has several years of experience doing this and we think we’ve improved every year,” said said Rollie Allen, Streetfest chairman. “We continue our focus on attracting more arts and crafts vendors, food options, street

entertainers, antique cars and boats, and farmers market vendors to draw community members and area visitors into downtown Ticonderoga.”

Vendors are being recruited and past vendor participants are encouraged to join in this year’s festivities.

Registration is $50 for a 10 x 10 space. Interested vendors should go to the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership website www.timainstreet.org. Vendor applications are available online at the TMSP site or by visiting

Fort Ti’s King’s Garden receives grant TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga recently received a grant from Stewart’s Foundation supporting a new King’s Garden program in 2012.

The new program will encourage young visitors to learn about different vegetables, flowers and insects.

The funds will specifically support the development of four new themed areas within the Children’s Garden including Flying Friends, a garden bed devoted to attracting pollinators; Vegetable Maze, a non-traditional free-form vegetable area; Edible Petals Patch, a garden devoted to plants with edible flowers; and Onion Island, a garden bed devoted to the Allium or onion genus.

The Children’s Garden, located in the King’s Garden at Fort Ticonderoga, offers an opportunity for families to explore beauty and nature at one of America’s oldest and most significant historic sites.

The King’s Garden is open June 1 through Oct. 8 and offers a wide variety of horticulture programs throughout the season.

“The Discovery Gardens are a place where people can really connect with the plants, learn how they grow, and realize the joy of gardening,” said Heidi Karkoski, Fort Ticonderoga’s curator of landscape.

“The new series of children’s programs utilize the Garrison Garden, Children’s Garden, and Three Sisters Garden to inspire youth to observe the natural world, participate in it, and hopefully create an awareness that can be nurtured throughout their lives.”

Fort Ticonderoga’s gardening programs are part of

Carillon Garden Club to meet May 17 in Hague

Let’s Move Museums & Gardens organized by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Priorities of the program include getting children to eat healthy and get active in an effort to solve the problem of childhood obesity. Through active, hands-on programs, Fort Ticonderoga is able to engage families in learning how they can make healthy lifestyle choices.

To learn more about Fort Ticonderoga’s King’s Garden and its programs in 2012 visit http://www.fortticonderoga.org or call 518-5852821.

The walled King’s Garden was originally designed in 1921 by leading landscape architect Marian Coffin.

The formal elements – a reflecting pool, manicured lawn and hedges, and brick walls and walkways – are softened by a profusion of annuals and perennials, carefully arranged by color and form. Heirloom flowers and modern cultivars are used to recreate the historic planting scheme. Visitor favorites include the lavender border, towering hollyhocks, bearded irises, dinner plate dahlias and many types of phlox.

Outside of the nine-foot brick walls of the colonial revival King’s Garden, the Discovery Gardens include a children’s garden, military vegetable garden, and Three Sisters Garden. The restored Lord and Burnham greenhouse, charming gazebo, sweeping lawns and shady picnic spots invite visitors to explore the landscape at one of America’s oldest gardens dating to the French occupation of the Fort in the mid-18th century.

HAGUE — The Carillon Garden Club will meet Thursday, May 17, at the Hague Community Center on Route 8 in Hague.

Following the program, desserts and beverages will be served to accompany a bring-your-own lunch. Club members Diane Bence, Vivian DenBlyker and Liz Nolfe are the hostesses.

The Carillon Garden Club was founded in 1974 and now has 50 members.

Ticonderoga from page 1

John McDonald stimulus money and $87,000 from the employee retirement fund.

Compounding that problem is the fact Ticonderoga now receives $1 million less in state aid that in it three years ago.

“If it wasn’t for the loss of state over the past few years we wouldn’t be in this shape,” McDonald said.

Helping Ti close its deficit and meet the tax cap are concessions by Ticonderoga teachers, administrators and staff. A salary freeze will save the district $728,000.

It’s the third consecutive year district employees have made concessions, McDonald pointed out. Those concessions total about $1.2 million.

McDonald said Ticonderoga is one of just four of the state’s 700 districts to have employee concessions three straight years.

The proposed budget also cuts several positions, totalling $132,000. McDonald noted the district has eliminated 20 jobs — 10 percent of its workforce — in the past three years. Ti has 170 employees.

“Our teachers and staff obviously care deeply about our students,” McDonald said. “If they hadn’t agreed to a salary freeze it would have been devastating for our kids. I’m very proud of all our staff for making this gesture.”

Ticonderoga also plans on moving students from Champlain Valley Educational Services back to the local school. That will save the district about $300,000.

Other major reductions in spending include $213,000 in transportation, $115,000 in equipment, $54,500 in supplies and $31,000 in summer school.

Virtually every line item in the budget has been reduced.

Ticonderoga Central School has 860 students.

Voters will also elect three members to the board of education. Running are Fred LaVallie, John Lenhart, Jim Wells and Mary Meserve. LaVallie, Lenhart and Wells are incumbents.

the board of education has adopted a 2012-13 budget proposal that meets the state tax cap.

“The point is to have the least impact possible on students,” Superintendent John McDonald said. “There will be some increases in class sizes, but we’ve tried to have as little impact as possible. For the most part, we’ve tried to keep all our programs in tact.”

The proposed 2012-13 Ti budget totals $17,849,823. That’s $1,148,124 — 6 percent — less than the present budget of $18,997,947.

The proposed tax levy for 2012-13 is $10,316,732. That’s $354,774 —3.5 percent — more than the current tax levy of $9,961,958.

The proposed 3.5 percent tax increase is well below the state tax cap for Ticonderoga, which is 9 percent.

Voters get to decide on the proposed budget Tuesday, May 15, noon to 8 p.m. at the Ticonderoga High School lobby and the Hague Community Center.

Ticonderoga started the 2012-13 budget process with a deficit because of the loss of nearly $1.7 million in “one shot” funding that was used in the current spending plan. Gone are $700,000 in state Excel aid, $310,000 in employee concessions, $300,000 in local fund balance, $180,000 in federal

Schroon Lake • Times of Ti - 13

‘Spruce Up Day’ slated in Schroon Lake this Saturday SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake will hold its annual “Spruce Up Day” Saturday, May 12.

The event asks volunteers to clean up the community.

“Please come help to make Schroon Lake a beautiful place to live and visit,” said Sharon Piper, event chairwoman. “We believe that this is a very worthwhile community event that benefits residents as well as tourists.”

“Spruce Up Day” will get under way at 10 a.m.

From 10 a.m. to noon the Adopt A Highway program will pick up litter along Route 9. The Schroon Lake Lions Club, Schroon Lake Central School Teachers Association and Schroon B&B will work along designated section.

Also at 10 a.m. a painting project will begin on the mural in front of the law office.

There will be a plant sale 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the community garden on Main Street. Proceeds will benefit the garden, which is located between the Glens Falls National Bank and Higher Ground Coffee Shop.

Both flowers and vegetables available for purchase. Anyone can purchase the plants; people do not have to have a plot in the Community Garden.

includes a tax levy increase below the state’s mandated tax cap.

On May 15, residents will vote to approve a bus proposition to purchase two 30 passenger busses, the proposed budget with a 2.94 percent tax levy increase and two board positions will be up for reelection.

Five candidates are running for the two available board positions. They are Donald Miller, Bruce Murdock, Dana Shaughnessy, Richard Kuzmiak and incumbent Board President John Armstrong.

Both Armstrong and Ellen Garland’s position on the board will also expire this year. Garland, who took over the term of Kimberly Bauer four years ago, will not be running for a second term.

The 2012-2013 budget presented to the voters includes a tax levy increase of 2.94 percent, which is slightly below the allowable district levy tax cap of 2.97 percent. That means the budget needs only a simple majority

vote to pass.

A bus proposition to purchase two 30 passenger busses for an amount not to exceed $88,500 will also go before district voters on May 15.

The proposal includes trading in two district owned 22 passenger busses and one full size 65 passenger bus to put toward the purchase of the two new busses. All busses considered for trade-in have mileage that exceeds 100,000 miles.

Balloting will take place in the school lobby from noon to 8 p.m.

14 - Times of Ti • Crown Point

www.timesofti.com

Crown Point from page 1 and local tax pressures, the Crown Point school began a program several years ago to rein in spending. The result is a proposed 2012-13 budget that is less than the 2008-09 plan.

“The Crown Point School board has had to make very difficult decisions over the past few years in the challenge of meeting costs with reduced funding,” Superintendent Shari Brannock said. “This multi-year approach has realized significant reductions in our expenses.

“There are many factors that have contributed to our overall financial ability to meet the needs of our students,” she added.

“These include employee concessions in wages and health benefits, many personnel changes/cuts and a spending plan with only one focus — have the least impact on all student programs.”

The proposed 2012-13 Crown Point budget totals $6,135,688. That’s an increase of $50,922 — less than 1 percent — from the present spending plan of $6,084,766.

The proposed 2012-13 tax levy is $1,515,355. That’s an increase of $26,355 — 1.77 percent — from the current tax levy.

The state tax cap for Crown Point is 5.8

percent.

Voting on the proposed budget will be Tuesday, May 15, noon to 8 p.m. at the school.

“Given the calculations of the new (state) property tax cap, our district could request about 4 percent more in our levy, but has chosen to remain below even the highlypublicized 2 percent property tax cap figure,” Brannock said. “The proper balance of a stable environment and culture for our staff and students with realistic requests for taxpayer support is very important.”

The proposed budget includes several major savings from the current spending plan.

It includes $60,000 in employee health insurance concessions, $80,000 in salary reductions because of five retirements and a $100,000 cut in special education costs because of declining enrollment.

Crown Point offered eligible staff a monetary incentive, depending on their years of service, to retire this year. Four teachers and a teacher ’s aide accepted.

“We don’t want to lose veteran teachers, but that’s where the money is,” Brannock said. “We felt it was important to reduce personnel costs.”

The proposed budget includes $3.9 million in state aid — 63 percent of the total budget — and $414,511 in fund balance from 2011-12.

There are also a few additions in the proposed budget. The spending plan calls for a new college-level math class, a junior varsity boys basketball team and the addition of a lunch monitor position.

The proposed budget also includes pay increases of 2 to 4 percent for employees.

Crown Point has made major

Shari Brannock cuts in earlier budgets, but the school remains strong, Brannock said.

“I think the quality of education is good,” she said. “I wish we had more support for students, more time for remedial and intervention services, but we’ve been as proactive and creative as possible to do more with less.

“I have no fear that the quality of education is suffering,” the superintendent said.

“Our staff has really stepped up the plate to bridge the gaps.”

Crown Point has 279 students and 60 employees. It had 74 employees four years ago.

Voters will also elect a member to the board of education May 15. Incumbent Kimberly Woods is not seeking re-election. June Glebus is running unopposed for her seat.

“We’ve been able to maintain all our current programs, but I wish we could provide more academic enrichment,” Superintendent Bill Larrow said. “We have nothing extra in this budget for kids who would like to do more or for kids who may need some additional help.”

The proposed 2012-13 budget totals $15,170,738.

That’s 9.49 perBill Larrow cent more than the current budget of $13,856,410.

Larrow is quick to point out almost all of the budget increase is because of a building project that is entirely paid by the state. That increase will not be paid by local taxpayers.

The proposed 2012-13 tax levy is $3,692,813. That’s a 1.95 percent increase from the current tax levy of $3,622,121.

Moriah’s state-mandated tax cap is 2.36 percent.

Voters will have their say on the proposed budget Tuesday, May 15, 1 to 8 p.m. in the central office lobby.

Staying within the tax cap was a challenge, Larrow said, because of costs the district has no control of.

Employee health insurance costs will jump $68,400 next academic year and teacher retirement costs will increase $61,921. School administrators and confidential employees will get 2 percent pay hikes and non-instructional workers will get 1.5 percent pay raises next year. The teacher ’s union, which has not had a contract for two years, is still in negotiations with the district.

Employees expenses account for 26 percent — $4 million — of the entire proposed $15.1 spending plan.

To stay within the state tax cap, the district is eliminating one teaching position through attrition and made across the board cuts in every area. The district is also applying a $519,000 fund balance from the current budget to next year.

“We are maintaining all academic programs, extracurricular and athletic activities,” Larrow said. “We are basically running on a bare bones budget.

“We’re just trying to maintain what we have in this tough economic time,” he said. “We feel very fortunate we’ve been able to do that.”

State aid to the Moriah district is up 2.3 percent and accounts for 68 percent of the entire spending proposal. Offsetting that state aid increase, though, is the loss of $200,000 in federal assistance.

Larrow pointed out that there has been no significant state mandate relief, although it was promised when the tax cap was adopted.

“It’s getting really difficult to meet those (state) mandates and stay under the (tax) cap,” Larrow said. “We need to be very creative while at the same time be very mindful of the needs of taxpayers. It gets tougher every year. I’m very concerned about the future.”

Moriah Central School has 802 students. It also has 140 full-time and 21 part-time employees.

Larrow pointed out the school serves as a community center for the town and utilized by many civic groups year-round.

“We do a lot of really good things here,” the superintendent said. “A lot of good things in our community revolve around us. Moriah Central School is a community asset on many levels.”

Voters will also elect three school board members May 15. Jim Stahl, Stacie Jaquish and Erica Kazlo, all incumbents, are running unopposed.

The night of the budget and school board vote will also feature a dinner and art show.

The Moriah Teachers Association will hold its annual spaghetti dinner 4 to 7 p.m. that day. Proceeds from the dinner will go the association’s annual scholarship program.

During that same time students will exhibit their artwork.

Open 7 Days A Week!

Hudson Mohawk Area Health Education Center Executive Director, Lottie Jameson, presents Benjamin Zelinski of Moriah with a $1,000 scholarship. Zelinski is attending North Country Community College working toward an associate degree in math and science with a certificate in health sciences. He plans to transfer into a bachelor’s biology program and pursue a career in medical research.

NORTHCOUNTRYSPCA Kathy L. Wilcox • 962-8604

he NCSPCA would like to announce an exciting upcoming event; The Lake Placid Center for the Arts will be hosting “Artists for Animals,” an art show to benefit our shelter, from June 1 through June 16. The show’s theme is “works of art with animals in mind,” and will feature paintings, drawings, sculpture, and other media by national and local artists. All art will be for sale, and proceeds will go to the NCSPCA’s Capital Campaign to build a new shelter for the needy dogs and cats of Essex County. An opening reception will be held on Friday, June 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts (17 Algonquin Drive, Lake Placid. www.LakePlacidArts.org. 523-2512). Everyone is welcome; the exhibit will be suitable for children. We would like to thank in advance the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, and the many artists presenting their work at the show, for their support of this benefit.

The Capital Campaign is an ongoing fundraiser to obtain the money needed in order to build our new shelter, which will be located in Elizabethtown, just a mile from Exit 31 on the Northway. Our current shelter is housed in a 40-year old building in very poor condition which is far too small to accommodate the more than 400 abused, abandoned, and surrendered cats and dogs that find refuge there each year. The new building will meet today's standards for animal housing

and will provide greater space, efficiency, and a more hygienic environment for our beloved furry friends while they await their forever homes.

The NCSCPA hopes to break Pickles ground in the summer of 2012. Although we have raised 90-percent of the money necessary to build the new shelter, we still need donations in order to begin construction.

Our featured pet this week is Pickles, a Labrador Retriever/Bloodhound mix, who is three months old and the bouncy, wiggly, squcksy, huggable puppy that everyone needs in their life! Pickles is a real charmer, with the cutest worry wrinkles over her eyes and lively personality that is all about playing and having fun. Since she arrived at the shelter, Pickles has worked hard at her leash-walking skills and has made it overnight in her kennel without any accidents. We think she is a very smart little lady. Picles has lived with an older dog and has been around cats without any problems.
