TEACHING LIFE SKILLS

Ti hurdler to run at nationals this weekend

By Fred Herbst

New program teaches life skills to student.

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Jay Hebert has established himself as one of the most successful Section VII track and field athletes ever, but the Ticonderoga High School sophomore is just beginning his career.

“He could very well be running in the Olympics in four years,” Walter Thorne, Ticonderoga track coach, said of Hebert. “He has that kind of ability. He hasn’t reached his potential yet.”

Olympics?

That may sound a bit far-fetched for a Ticonderoga athlete, but consider what Hebert has accomplished this season as just a sophomore.

Hebert won the New York State Public High School Athletic Association smallschool championship June 9 in the 110-meter hurdles. He then won the New York Federation championship, which pits the top eight runners from schools of all sizes.

Hebert went undefeated this season with a best time of 14.07 seconds — the fastest time in New York and

Native son Johnny Podres, the 1955 World Series Most Valuable Player, was honored June 9 when the town of Moriah unveiled a sign in his memory on Route 9n/22 south of the village of Port Henry. Taking part in the ceremony was the Podres family, including Podres widow, Joan. Podres, who died in 2008, grew up on Lamos Place in Witherbee. He graduated from Mineville High School in 1950 before joining the Brooklyn Dodgers.

After a long career as a pitcher and later as a pitching coach, Podres retired to Queensbury.

Happy Fathers Day DAD, When I was born, you were there to hold, nurture, and love me. When I said my first words, you were there to teach me the whole dictionary, if needed. When I took my first steps, you were there to encourage me and catch me if I fell. When I had my first day at school, you were there to give me advice and help me with my homework. When I got my first job, you were there to congratulate and support me.

And even though I still haven’t walked down the aisle, or had my first child, I know I can always count on you to be there.

I love you, Dad! Love, Amber 89414

Ticonderoga fife & drum corps muster, and have agreed to join the Fort Ti Fife & Drum Corps at the downtown event Saturday, July 28.

“Featured entertainment includes the Fort Ticonderoga Fife & Drum Corps, led by Mike Edson, who will again kick off the event at 10 a.m.,” said Rolly Allen, Streetfest chairman. “As an added attraction this year the corps will be joined by visiting corps who are participating in Fort Ticonderoga’s annual muster. Together they will march down Montcalm Street, playing as they go. You won’t want to miss this fantastic start to 2012’s Streetfest.”

The fourth-annual Streetfest will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Ticonderoga’s Montcalm Street. The event will feature arts and crafts, shopping, food, fun, entertainment and family activities.

“Join us as we again convert Montcalm Street into a pedestrian mall filled with kiosks, food vendors, arts and crafts, antique and new automobiles and boats, artisans and other exhibits,” Allen said. “Food offerings will be extensive and we’ll have free live entertainment staged on the street. There will be much to see, experience and enjoy.”

Entertainment will include vocals by McKenna Lee and the Eva Channel from Burlington, who will play contemporary rhythm and blues, and Loose Connections from Crown Point, who will play blues, rock & roll and reggae. Penelope the Clown will be on Montcalm Street to entertain children and All ‘Bout Critters will have an animal display.

Streetfest is sponsored by the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership.

“I’m truly impressed with what a small committee of dedicated volunteers has been able to accomplish for our community, and their enthusiasm is contagious,” said John Bartlett, Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership chairman, said of Streetfest. “Plan to come early so that you and the kids don’t miss a thing.”

Montcalm Street in dowtown Ticonderoga will be closed to traffic from 8: a.m. to 5 p.m. between Lake George and Champlain Avenues. All parked cars should be removed by 7 a.m.

Grant to help local food pantry program The plan is to provide $1,000, which the students can then use to purchase food for the food pantry. Students will be organized into teams and will compete to see who can spend more wisely and obtain the most non-perishable foods.

Teachers will act as mentors for the student teams and they will be encouraged to make maximum use of coupons, discounts and sales. This should be both a learning exercise and a community service for the needy families in our area.

Times of Ti Editorial

Viewpoint

Commencement advice from our staff From our Managing Editor, John Gereau: “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

— Thomas Edison My father used to tell me that if you want to get ahead in this world, work harder than the person sitting next to you. Get to work before him, leave after him, and before long you’ll have his job.

The opportunity to get ahead through hard work may be even greater today, because the competition is fierce, but the will to work for many is no longer so.

Of equal importance is to take pride in everything you do, wether it is digging ditches or building bridges. You should be able to look back at the end of the day and be proud to have your name associated with the work you just performed.

And, last but not least, for every hour you spend inside, spend two outside. The outdoors will bring you solace, and ground you when all else seems off course.

From our Assistant Managing Editor, Andy Flynn: After 25 years of being in the “real world” after high school graduation, I can safely say that life’s been an adventure.

Growing up in Tupper Lake, I wanted nothing more than to leave my hometown. By my senior year in college, I wanted nothing more than to live in the Adirondacks. I was able to return home and earn a good living in the media industry. I’m finally living the dream, but it’s not been an easy road.

To the Class of 2012, I say if you want to come back to the region after college or military service, you can. Brain drain is real, but it’s overrated. We need you. Consider coming home. And get a dog. Dogs are nice.

From our Times of Ti Editor, Fred Herbst: Can I trust you? It seems like a simple question, but may be the key to your future.

Trust, missing all too often today, is crucial to building relationships and achieving success.

Whether it’s a family member, boss, co-worker, community member, they all need to know that they can count on you to meet your obligations; that you’ll do the right thing.

Always endeavor to build trust. When you build trust you build strong families, good work ethic and strong communities.

From Valley News Editor Keith Lobdell: “On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.”

— Thomas S. Monson.

This really goes hand-in-hand with another one of my favorite quotes, given in a time of trial by one of the greatest ambassadors for college basketball, Jim Valvano - “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.”

You all have goals, and you will all have hurdles along the course that lead to those goals.

Some will be easy to hop over, while others will seem as high as Everest. When faced with the latter, remember that the things which are truly worth attaining are not given, but earned.

From Burgh and North Countryman Editor Stephen Bartlett: Don’t underestimate the value of some sort of post-secondary education, whether technical or collegiate, because the job market is merciful to no one and it’s easy to become bogged down by barely getting by.

Also, don’t put your eggs in one basket. Don’t give up on your ultimate dream, but allow for a dose of realism and ensure you obtain the skills to secure, possibly, your second choice, and pay the bills while continuing to pursue your passions.

From reporter Katherine Clark: Everyone, graduating high school seniors, parents and community members should attend graduation ceremonies and listen to inspirational speeches about the future.

Seniors, as you listen to the keynote speaker, tell yourself there is an open sky of possibilities to choose from. Everyone in the crowd, young or old, has the same potential to redefine the course of their lives.

You can change your mind a handful of times and still live a successful life as long as you are passionate and work hard on whatever you do.

Chef, television personality and writer Rachael Ray said it best: “Work harder than the next person, don’t complain about it, and you'll always get noticed, no matter what job you’re doing, and you'll find an opportunity occur that you didn't see coming.”

Develop your own sense of direction

O

ver the last year our politicians, major news outlets, union leaders and powerful lobbyists have been waging war in Wisconsin. The failed recall of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has been hailed by the Republican Party as a major victory heading into the fall election season. The Democratic Party, backed by major labor, now seeks to double their efforts to reengage the electorate, learning from this perceived failed effort.

Why do we continually allow issues of importance to be taken over and owned by those who seek to protect their own self interests while framing these issues in a manner designed to create division among us? We must recognize we have only one country and that country must have a sense of direction that is fair and compassionate to all. No one appreciates a gloating victor, but that is exactly what the political parties have undertaken to pit us against each other—and keep us there.

Americans have always been at their best when they stand united, arm in arm. When we allow the powerful, or the politically connected, to divide us and shift our loyalty to party or self interest instead of country is when we work against our own best interests. Wisconsinites registered their votes last week and they alone should be the victors or losers in that contest.

Feeding the political divide instead of using our democratic common sense has allowed our nation to become paralyzed in recent years, and it won’t get any better until we demand that enough is enough.

Public-sector workers reportedly continue to enjoy better benefits than their private sector counterparts. About 64 percent of private-sector workers have access to pensions, compared with 90 percent of state and local government workers. Private-sector workers earn an average of $8.53 in benefits per hour, while government workers earn $14.31 in benefits per hour.

Our economy can’t continue to support growing government payroll costs. Some form of balance must be maintained.

Over the course of time, public sector employees needed the power of collective bargaining, especially when the pay scales and benefits didn’t fairly match with those in the private sector. But the pendulum has swung too far the other way and the current economic climate has shown that the nation can’t support generous benefits, salaries and overt job protection for public employees when the private sector is go-

ing in the other direction..

On the other side of the divide, according to the Independent Center for Public Integrity, Governor Walker raised seven Dan Alexander times more than Thoughts from Mayor Barrett, Behind the Pressline his challenger, to defend his recall, and, despite the difference in spending, the dollars didn’t directly translate into percentage points in polls or the vote. Wisconsin voters were not swayed by the big corporate connections, but instead recognized that the best choice was to keep Walker in place and continue to tackle the state budget woes by tempering the growth of public sector costs.

Now, the spin masters from both sides will continue to put the best face on the result from their perspective, but at the end of the day voters must put self interest aside and see through the spin to make good choices and insure realistic choices that continue to make government accountable while bringing spending under control. We all need to tune out the posturing and not allow others to frame these issues, nor take ownership of them for anything other than the advancement of our nation.

It seems clear to me that far too many of our leaders place their own self interests and political aspirations ahead of the Democracy. We get sucked into blindly following the powerful and until we demand accountability and see through the veil of divisive politics our nation will continue to be held hostage. We need to respect the differences that will naturally occur between people of good intentions but look to elect leaders who seek to resolve those differences instead of using them to create and feed anger and hatred among us. Until we find our own clear voice, I fear America will be driven to the outer edges of the political divide, where nothing but stonewalling is accomplished, while the nation suffers from its lack of resolve and identity, zigzagging between the political extremes.

Letters to the Editor

Pantry appreciates donations To the Times of Ti: The volunteers of the Ticonderoga Food Pantry wish to acknowledge, with sincere appreciation, two recent food drives held on our behalf.

We wish to thank the U.S. Postal workers for their effort in a successful drive. We realize this is an extra effort on their part, so we would like them to know their effort is very helpful to our program of offering good nutritious food to those who visit out pantry.

Our second thank you goes to Ticonderoga High School students and Ms. Britney McCarthy and Mr. Jay Wells, who accompanied students on a shopping trip. This effort was made possible by Mr. John Bartlett and the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership organization.

The students learned about careful shopping, planning a budget, etc. We received their purchases and are most thankful for them.

As always we are most thankful for the generous donors in our community who support our work. Thank you to one and all.

Literacy Volunteers hosting beer tasting To the Times of Ti: Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties hosted a Craft Beer Tasting Event on June 2, at Heaven Hills Farm in Lake Placid. This event was very successful and all who attended enjoyed the evening immensely. All proceeds will be used to support Literacy Volunteers’ Adult Literacy Programs in Essex and Franklin Counties. Not only did it include beverages, but it also consisted of trivia questions, raffle items and beautiful music played by Ashley Sophia. We would like to thank the following breweries for participating in this event: Davidson Brothers, Legends, Lake Placid Pub and Brewery, Matt Brewing Company (Saranac beers and soft drinks), Great Adirondack Brewing Company and the Craft Beer Exchange. This event would not have been so successful without Mark Jessie, who organized brewers and brews.

A big thanks to the following businesses and individuals who donated items for our raffle: Adirondack Explorer, Rebecca BanHoesen, Erin Boyle, Jim Bullard, Dancing Bears, Community Store in Saranac Lake, Country Florist & Gifts, Bob Harsh, Hott House, Seth Lang Photography, Legends, Lake Placid Pub and Brewery, Liquids and Solids, Kathy Merritt, Marie Orlando, Suzanne Orlando, Saratoga Performing Art Center (SPAC), and Robert Schiller.

We would also like to recognize and thank the following restaurants that donated food: Arena Bar & Grill, Hannafords, Desperados, The Mirror Lake Inn and the Lake Placid Palace Theatre. Thank you.

Garden club praised

Reflections Reflections

To the Times of Ti: New signage and beautiful bouquets of flowers at every entrance to town are greeting visitors coming to Ticonderoga!

I am told this is due to the Ti (Carillon) Garden Club that is worthy of kudos for their community spirit and many hours of toil! As one walks through Ti they can see honeybees enjoying the nectar of beautiful flowers everywhere the eye turns. Residents as well as tourists are uplifted and Ti officials can be proud of the bright appearance.

Sorely there is a problem one can notice which is not only an eyesore but also a safety concern! Trying to cross Montcalm Street has become a life or death matter! The crosswalks are all but impossible for motorists to see and pedestrians are put at risk trying to cross. People exiting businesses have a hard time getting from one side of the street to the other.

This is one of those times when I long for my youth, as I would gladly volunteer to apply paint to the crosswalk areas if I were not hampered by some physical ailments. This being said I am willing to donate the first $100 to start a fund to get the crosswalks painted!

Together with the beautiful flowers the crosswalks will enhance our main street and bring business to our stores and restaurants!

Thrift Shop asks for cooperation To the Times of Ti: The Ticonderoga First United Methodist Church Thrift Shop thanks the community for its outstanding support through the donation and purchase of clothing and household items.

We have an amazing group of volunteers who come to sort, price, and display donated items every week. Recently our volunteers have had unpleasant surprises when they have opened large bags with refuse and vermin in them! These bags have had to be thrown away.

Please, please consider only donating items that you would want to purchase. If something is broken, ripped or stained please dispose of it appropriately. Also state and federal guidelines forbid us from selling medical equipment, child car seats, cribs and strollers. For answers to any donation questions please call the Thrift Shop at 585-2242 and leave a message. Our manager Michelle, or one of our knowledgeable volunteers, will quickly contact you.

Your support has enabled the Thrift Shop to provide very reasonable prices for wonderful items that help everyone in our community to stretch their budgets in these challenging economic times. Your generosity has enabled the Thrift Shop to offer free items to families who have lost possessions to fires, floods and other catastrophes.

Thank you again for your continued support of the ministries of the Thrift Shop through your thoughtful donations and purchases.

Coot Hill tornado

By Joan Daby Editor’s note: This is the speech delivered by Bill Dolback, Ticonderoga town historian, during the community’s Memorial Day program and Civil War memorial paver dedication at the Champlain Legacy Park.

“In August, 1897, a three-days downpour of rain resulted in what was at the time termed a cloudburst, causing a freshet that did great damage to the highways, bridges, property and railroads in Crown Point, Moriah and Westport, the likes of which had never been known before.

Last Sunday afternoon, heavy thunder was heard in the southwest and toward night, black clouds appeared, with sharp flashes of lightning, over the mountains toward Coot Hill. A storm soon developed into a terrific Western tornado, with whirlwinds, hail and a downpour of rain, deluging a section about a mile wide from Sherman Lake to Bulwagga Bay. Grove Brook, a large stream which has its source in the vicinity of Bullpout Pond, running easterly through a deep ravine on the north side of Coot Hill, some five miles into Bulwagga Bay at Ploof Landing.

This brook drains a large section of country and is crossed by the bridges of three main roads, besides crossroads. The real deluge began about 4 o’clock and a terrific downpour continued until about 7 o’clock, following the course of the ravine, which soon raised the stream from the babbling trout brook into an enormous Niagara torrent, twenty feet deep.

The Stanton bridge, on the main road from Moriah to Crown Point, some three miles from the Bay, was only partly carried away, but great damage was done to the highway each side for a half mile. All the other bridges below were swept away, with abatements and banks, so that not a vestige is left to show that a bridge ever existed.

The Butler Mine road follows the brook from Lang bridge to Bulwagga Bay some two miles, crossing the brook several times by wooden bridges. The bridges were not only swept away, but the entire road was wiped out so there is nothing left but a mass of rocks, from bank to bank of the ravine. The flood in its huge volume rushing down the ravine, washed out the banks on both sides, rolling down enormous rocks, boulders and trees, carrying them along with the rush, some of the largest trees standing upright until swept out onto the flat at the bay, where the D. & H. R. R. tracks skirt the shore.

Where the ravine and brook break through the rocks, a few rods above the Peters bridge on the Bay road, an almost natural dam was formed. Here was built the Grove sawmill (afterwards called Sprague mill) for the purpose of sawing lumber for Amherst to build the Crown Point Forts in 1759. On the delta formed by the brook and up the ravine, were fine groves of the finest pine, spruce and hemlock, which were cut and sawed at this mill, and from these groves of timber the section between the mill and bay was named Grove Lot, and the stream was named Grove Brook. Through a cleft in the rock where this old mill stood, the Butler Mine road passed on its way up the ravine, while the brook passed through another cleft further north. When the flood reached this partly-natural dam, with the accumulation of rocks, trees and timber, the water dammed up and rushed over the rocks anywhere and everywhere, cutting out three extra channels through the delta and across the bay road, wiping out the Peters bridge and nearly carrying away the McGuinnes house, near the bridge, and the Smith cottage, near the old mill. Great damage was done here, the soil being entirely washed out, leaving a mass of boulders over a large section.

After cleaning out the bay road and Peters bridge, the flood, the waters of which were said to be ten feet deep, passed over the field east of the road and swept everything before it for some twenty rods, and onto the D. & H. R. R. track, covering the roadbed for a hundred yards, several feet deep with stones, trees and mud.

A half mile south of Peters bridge, at the head of Bulwagga Bay, is the residence of Mary King, near the Big Hollow Spring Brook. This small stream soon rose to a torrent and washed down from the mountain above rocks and rubbish, doing considerable damage and frightening the inmates of the cottage.

A few rods south of Mrs. King’s, the Currier place is located, near the Big Hollow Brook, called the Phillips Brook. This stream flooded the house and the inmates were compelled to leave the house and seek shelter at Mr. Proctor ’s.”

Joan Daby is the retired town of Moriah historian. This article was copied from a clipping from an unnamed newspaper .

New program teaches life skills to student self-esteem,” the teacher added. “He has complete ownership of these tasks. He knows what needs to be done and does it.”

In fact, Hurlburt has been given some management duties. As part of the program he directs Hubbard on what needs to be done.

“I work for him,” she said. “He tells me what to do and I do it. He’s really accepted the responsibility that goes along with a job.”

Hurlburt is a man of few words, but he did smile and offer a resounding “Yes” when asked if he enjoyed his work.

This summer Hurlburt hopes to work with the school maintenance staff.

While Hurlburt is learning, he’s also earning. Hurlburt is paid for his work at school, which provides another opportunity to learn.

“He’s learning about money and how to handle it,” Hubbard said. “We have an account set up for him and he has to make decisions on how to spend his money. He likes to buy games for his computer.”

Hurlburt is setting a standard for the new program at Ti Middle School.

“As we look a different learners and disabilities we have to be creative in using the resources of our school district,” Hubbard said. “We have meaningful jobs these students can do as they learn important skills.

“The sky’s the limit for Jeremiah and other students,” she added. “There’s no cap on the things they can accomplish here, especially with the support we’ve received. Jeremiah’s a great example for other students who can benefit from this type of learning.”

Jeremiah Hurlburt blazes path for others

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Jeremiah Hurlburt is good at his job. The Ticonderoga Middle School student moves from task to task each day in the school cafeteria and office, paving the way for future pupils.

Hurlburt, who is autistic, is the first student in a new program designed specifically for children with special needs at the school.

“Instead of doing traditional academic work all day, Jeremiah is in a life-skills program,” explained Ellen Hubbard, a special education teacher. “This is an opportunity for him to learn job skills he can later in life take into the community.”

And while Hurlburt is learning, so is the Ti school district.

“Jeremiah is the first student in the program, but he won’t be the last,” Hubbard said. “We have other students in the district who are different learners. As they get older this new program will also give them the opportunity for life-skills training.”

Hurlburt, the son of Linsey and Robert Hurlburt, began the school year working about 10 minutes a day in the cafeteria. He’s now working about 45 minutes a day breaking down boxes, stocking milk, sorting silverware and other tasks. He also occasionally helps out the school office.

“Jeremiah’s come so far,” Hubbard said.

“The ladies in the cafeteria have been awesome and he loves coming to work. He feels he’s part of the team. As he’s learned new skills we’ve added more and more jobs. It’s been a real success.

“The work has been really good for his

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The Bulwagga Bay campground is a major revenue source for the town of Moriah, but could it be an under-utilized asset?

That’s the question Moriah officials are asking.

“Is that property being used to its fullest potential?” Supervisor Tom Scozzafava asked. “We derive a good revenue right now, but could it benefit the residents of the com-

munity more?”

To find out if the town will hire a consultant to investigate the town-owned campsite, beach and boat launch operation, and to make recommendations, the study will be done in conjunction with the Moriah Economic Development Group (EDGE) and the Essex County/Lake Placid Visitors Bureau.

Bulwagga Bay campsite is popular and successful. Its 160 seasonal camping sites are full this summer and the town projects $280,000 in revenue there this year. Officials expect a $180,000 profit that will be used to offset local taxes.

This won’t be the first study of Bulwagga Bay. A decade ago a study suggested the town sell the facility on Lake Champlain.

“There was a public outcry,” Scozzafava said. “The people of Moriah want to keep Bulwagga Bay; there’s no way we can ever sell it. It belongs to the people of Moriah.”

But that doesn’t mean other options are unavailable. The town may realize more money from Bulwagga Bay by leasing it to the private company while retaining free access for local residents — or perhaps the town needs to invest in upgrades at the campground and beach that would allow more campers and/or higher fees.

“We definitely should spend more money down there (at Bulwagga Bay),” Scozzafava said. “We would like to provide more amenities, but you have to spend money to do that.

Would that investment pay off for us? That’s

what we need to find out.”

Scozzafava pointed out camping has changed in the past decade or so. Instead of people coming for a week or weekend, vacationers now want a place where they can set up a camping trailer for a summer.

“Our bread and butter are the seasonal campers,” the supervisor said. “Very few people come in for a night or a weekend.

People want to put their camper someplace for the season — and we have the ideal location on Lake Champlain to do that.

“It’s one of the best assets we have,” Scozzafava said of Bulwagga Bay. “This is a crown jewel of Lake Champlain. We know that, but are we utilizing it to its fullest potential?”

Schroon seniors purchase defibrillator Members learn to use equipment

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake’s senior citizens are serious about the health of the community.

The local senior citizen club has purchased a Power Heart Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) to serve the community in case of a cardiac emergency.

And members known how to use it.

The Schroon Lake Senior Citizens have 14 members certified in CPR and use of the AED. “Therefore, there is a high probability that a trained senior will be present if the AED is needed,” said Ed Donley, club first vice president. “Dr. Joseph Schwerman of the Schroon Lake Health Center has volunteered to be the medical control physician for this AED.” Dick Newell, president of the club, said that he is “proud of the participating seniors for their accomplishments in getting qualified for this life saving endeavor.”

The AED was purchased with donations from several anonymous senior citizens who feel the AED is an important life saving addition to the Senior Citizens Center.

The AED unit is portable so it can be taken on long senior citizens bus trips, if there is a qualified individual to operate the device.

The defibrillator is also available to help in the community.

“The senior citizens want the community to know of its intent to provide public access defibrillation and that the AED can be available in case it is needed in the downtown Schroon Lake area,” Donley said.

He advised that people call 911 and initiate CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) before sending for the AED. The senior center is at 1108 Main St. and is open 5 days a week from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and until 3:30 p.m. on Thursdays.

Crown Point group tours Europe

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Three countries in 10 days. It’s no wonder Jayna Andersen is tired.

Andersen, a Crown Point Central School teacher, led a group of students and adults on a tour of Europe recently, visiting Italy, France and England.

“This was a very fast paced and busy trip, with a ton of traveling,” Andersen said. “But the students were amazed, as I had hoped. They will treasure these memories and experiences for a lifetime.”

Making the trek were students Marissa Titus, Jordan Popp, Jake Courcy, Sam Bodette, Keegan Choffatt, Ryan Worth, Jenna Petro, Natasha Burns, Brooke Feith and Mickaela Gunnison along with adults Elaine Dixon, Peggy Patnode, Tieah Gunnison, Barbara Boyer, Jenn Boyer, Katie Whitford and Andersen.

The trip was planned through EF Tours, an educational tour group specializing in student trips.

“I have always loved traveling and have visited Europe many times in the past and nothing compares to the thrill and adventure of seeing buildings and artwork that you have read about or seen pictures of,” Andersen said. “I have a fascination of other cultures, their way of life, their food, their art...I crave it and I wanted to share that enjoyment with as many people and students as I could.

“Why live in a world and not see all its wonders?” she asked. “I love the quote, ‘The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page’ by St. Augustine. I have traveled to Italy now three times, Ireland three times, France, England and Spain and I plan to continue throughout my life. I long to see it all.”

The group spent four days in Italy. They toured the Rome city center seeing the Trevi Fountain, Roman Catacombs, Piazza Novona, Spanish Steps, Pantheon (oldest building in Rome), Victor Emmanuel Monument, Colosseum and the Roman Forum.

“We took a bus trip to the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, which was buried in 25 feet of volcanic ash from an eruption by Mount Vesuvius 2,000 years ago which preserved the city,” Andersen said.

“From this site we could see the Mediterranean sea and the isle of Capri. We visited a shop that demonstrated how cameo necklaces are made from shells.”

The visitors also toured Vatican City and saw its museums, the Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter’s Basilica.

In Florence they viewed the famous Duomo Cathedral and went on a walking tour of the city that gave birth to the Renaissance.

They strolled through the artisans and leather market.

The Crown Point band then took an over-night train from Milan to Paris. They spent two days in France.

“In Paris we took a bus tour of the city with stops at the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral,” Andersen, an art teacher, said.

“We went for half a day to the famous museum, the Louvre, which is over a mile long and houses the Mona Lisa, Leonardo DaVinci’s most famous work.

“Day two we visited the infamous palace at Versailles,” she said.

“The last night in Paris we took at night boat cruise on the River Seine and witnessed the Eiffel Tower sparkle in all of its glory. This was most of the students’ most memorable moment of trip; it was truly remarkable.”

The tour group then took the EuroStar Train to London. The train travels at speeds of 185 mph and goes underneath the English Channel.

LGA seeks county funding for Asian clam removal keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is poised to spend $2,500 to help get rid of an evasive species in Lake George.

The economic development/planning and publicity committee of Essex County moved a resolution to the full board of supervisors to give the money to the Lake George Association, which is in the second year of an Asian clam eradication program on the waters that border Ticonderoga.

“I know that Essex County only has a little portion of the lake, but this is a lake-wide issue that needs to be dealt with,” LGA Executive Director and Ticonderoga resident Walter Lender said. “This is a lake-wide project. We want to eradicate it while we can, which is now.”

Lender said that the project has been effective over the first year, when the county also gave $2,500 to help deal with the problem.

“We feel that when we are done, we will have eradicated the problem to where we will only have to work with spot treatments to kill of the remaining Asian clam population,” Lender said. “The big investment is last year and this year.”

Lender said that dealing with the Asian clam infestation was also a concern to the region’s pocketbooks.

“It's an issue that is important to the local waterways and the local economy,” he said.

“Feed off the nourishment in the lake and take away from the native species, and their shells are something that you do not want to be walking on.”

Overall, Lender said that LGA is making an $800,000 investment into the issue this year, along with the help of the counties and communities that call Lake George home.

“It’s critical to our economy, that lake,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “It is money that is well spent. This is something that is definitely tourism-related, and I think that we should look into using some of the bed tax money for that.”

“It’s a very small investment on the part of Essex County to protect the future of Lake George and the local economy,” North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said. “It really is a nobrainer.”

Lender said that he could not give a specific reason for the infestation of Asian clams in Lake George, but there were several ways they could have been introduced.

“They could have been in ballast tank water or bait wells, or attached to boats,” Lender said. “Someone could have dumped an aquarium into the lake. There is now way to point a finger and know for sure.”

While Lender said he did not know how the clams entered the lake, he is certain how

• MEMORIALS STARTING AT $126 • OTHER MONUMENTS UP TO 40% OFF RETAIL PRICE

this year, we believe that we will just be doing follow-up treatments to deal with a small amount of remaining Asian clams.”

The motion passed unanimously through the committee, which is chaired by Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney.

It’s nearly time for the topwater bonanza!

L

Back home, again

L

ast weekend, I returned to Elizabethtown to attend the opening of the new, Raging Rivers exhibition at the Adirondack History Center Museum. Raging Rivers: A Mind of Their Own is a theme that will continue throughout the summer with a series of History Center lectures that explore the effects and after affects of two centuries of Adirondack floods.

The new exhibit includes images taken by numerous professional photographers, as well as other local residents. It provides a visual summary of the immediate destruction, as well as the after affects of Hurricane Irene.

The exhibition of still photographs are complimented by a video produced by photographer, Nathan Farb. In addition to the photo exhibit, museum staffers also utilized a variety of items that were taken from the river after the flood to create several intriguing displays of ‘Debris Sculptures.’

The sculptures provided graphic, hands-on evidence of the damage caused by the storm, and for many visitors, the experience proved to be both an emotional, as well as a cathartic opportunity.

I spoke with numerous visitors about where they were, and what they were doing when the high water hit, and it was difficult not to be moved by their recollections. It was a natural tragedy that was shared by many, and it will be remembered by all.

I would encourage anyone who hasn’t recently visited the old museum on the ‘Town Hill,’ to stop by. The Adirondack History Center features ‘our history’ and it won’t disappoint.

Saturday’s event also included a car show that attracted numerous antique and classic motor vehicles, including several “horseless carriages.”

While strolling among the cars, I was immediately put at ease by the friendly atmosphere and the lively banter that surrounded the show’s participants. The collection of antique and classic vehicles was nearly as impressive as the host of characters who own, and restore them. And as many jokingly explained, there were probably more antique owners on site, than there were antique cars.

Car shows and rallys have become an increasingly popular component of the local outdoor recreation spectrum.

The recent event certainly provided an enjoyable opportunity to mingle among the participants, and to hear their stories.

The Old Footbridge

While visiting Elizbethtown, I took an opportunity to visit many of my old haunts and fishing holes, to see how they had weathered the storm.

Although I had already paddled the Boquet a couple of times, it was my first opportunity to access the status of The Branch, a much smaller stream that flows through the

I began my up-stream journey at a junction pool in the center of the village, where Bartons Brook joins with The Branch.

I waded the stream all the way to The Footbridge, which in my younger years featured an old dam that was a popular swimming hole. Although the pond was quite small, many local youth learned to swim at the footbridge since it was easy an place to walk or ride a bike.

While devastation from the flood was evident all along the river corridor, I was thrilled to discover some of the recent renovations that have occurred at The Footbridge Park.

The effort has resulted in an incredible new leisure area, complete with a unique, natural playground that meanders through the local woods.

The new, all natural playground features a fully accessible stone dust path that meanders through the surrounding woods and leads to a variety of stations for youngsters to explore. It is a model for the wise use of the woods, and it provides a safe, engaging and entertaining complex that is makes a visit to the woods nothing but fun!

The trail was developed through a partnership between the Essex County Health Department and the NYS Department of Health, and although it was intended for a target audience of 2-5 year olds, the ‘stations’ offer something for wanderers of all ages.

The Footbridge Nature Trail features a wonderful climbing wall, tree forts and tree houses, a rope maze, stumpjumps and a variety of natural musical instruments including chimes, drums and a unique, Tune-Dome that was constructed from an old propane tank.

Fortunately, for parents there are also plenty of benches, picnic tables and sitting stumps along the river corridor.

Although the new trail complex has not yet attracted a lot of visitors, I expect it will become a very popular venue once it is eventually discovered.

E’town trout fishing derby a resounding success!

The results of the 24th Elizabethtown trout fishing derby were as follows: • Ages 0-5: Largest fish - Zane Bechard Most points - Mason Phinney Most fish - Bryce Cooney Smallest fish - Jarik Wadsworth • Ages 6-10 Largest fish - Breanna Duso Most points - Wade Phinney Most fish - Karli Church Smallest fish - Alyssa Fenton • Ages 11-15 Largest fish - Wesley Putnam Most points - Kris Mazzacone Most fish - Justen Heald Smallest fish - Carson Blades • The Heather Naciag Memorial Award went to Breanna Duso • The largest fish overall winner was also Breanna Duso.

Organizers of the event said they would like to thank all who supported the derby, including Stewarts, Grand Union, Aubuchon Hardware, Adirondack Outdoor Company, Park Motor Inn, E’town Kiwanis Club, E’town Fish & Game Club, E’town Fire Department, Mt. Fay Fish & Game Club, Essex County Fish Hatchery and all the volunteers.

ake Champlain bass are in full-spawn mode for the next several weeks. Bass will then enter their postspawn phase. During this period they will rest from the rigors of spawning and recover some depleted strength. Shortly thereafter the fun will really begin. The feed will

By Howard Hammonds then swing into high gear and bass will begin to aggressively feed on schools of baitfish.

During the several weeks following the post-spawn phase fisherman can experience the excitement of a topwater bonanza. There is no more exciting action than to have a hungry bass explode on your topwater bait. It’s like watching a scary movie and waiting for the villain to jump out from behind the next corner.

With great anticipation you’ll work your bait over a weed patch knowing that any second a giant smallmouth is going to blast your lure. Ki- whoosh - the water explodes and you about jump out of your skin, jerking like crazy.

There are several topwater techniques a fisherman can use on the North Country’s lakes. Some are easy to master, others require greater skill. My favorite tactic is using a Zara spook to walk the dog. This technique requires a modest degree of coordination. Make a long cast, wind up the slack and make a rhythmic half turn of the reel and a quick snap of the wrist.

Keep the action going with a steady cadence. Keep your rod tip at just about shoe top level. If you are doing this correctly, you will notice the lure “walks” from side to side with each snap of the wrist. This action will drive bass crazy, and the return is a heart-stopping explosion. The tackle needed is a 6-foot medium action bait caster, 12-pound test mono line and a Heddon Zara spook lure.

Probably the easiest topwater to master is the “PopR,” which is another lure produced by the famous Heddon Company. The Pop-R has a cupped face that spits water and pops when retrieved. Using a 7-foot spinning rod and reel and 8-pound mono line, make a cast as long as possible. Wind up the slack and make a little jerk, just enough to cause the lure to spit a little water. Repeat the action but pause the lure between jerks. Vary the jerks and pauses as this imitates a dying bait fish.

For those of you that by now have decided these are a little complex, I have a sure-fire technique that is simple to master but will still render heart stopping explosions—buzz baits. Using the same rod and reel as for the PopR, tie one on and make a long cast. When the buzz bait hits the water start winding, just fast enough so the lures runs on top of the water. The turning action of the winged blades will keep it on top of the water and will make a gurgling sound that will make bass go nuts.

Lake Champlain is very unique when it comes to topwater. Most topwater baits are used when there is overcast skies and a little ripple on the water. While this is a prime time to use topwater tactics, an even better time on Lake Champlain is following a front when the skies are high and blue, no wind and a slick surface. When the major tournament pros first started invading the North Country they found to their surprise that topwater baits worked on Champlain during what otherwise would be tough conditions. I’m not a fish and therefore can’t tell you why these techniques work, but believe me—the first time you have a big-ole bass explode on your lure you’ll be hooked just like the fish!

While I don’t personally believe it’s in the best interest of the species to interfere with the bedding cycle, if you do fish for bass during this time please handle with care and return to the water immediately. Practice CPR: Catch, Photograph and Release.

Runners race across Lake Champlain Bridge Nearly 200 thinclads cross span

By Fred Herbst CROWN POINT — Nearly 200 runners raced to Vermont and back to New York as part of the grand opening celebration for the new Lake Champlain Bridge.

Despite staggering heat, 181 runners finished the “The New York/Vermont 5K Champlain Bridge Run” May 20.

Judson Hescock claimed first place in 18 minutes, 45 seconds.

Sara Facteau was the first woman. She finished third overall in 18:50.

The course, which started at the Crown Point, N.Y., State Historic Site, traversed the bridge into Vermont, returned across the bridge and ran through the New York State campsite on Lake Champlain before finishing back at the historic site.

The race was sponsored by the LaChute Road Runners Club of Ticonderoga. Nancy Ockrin of Crown Point and Dave Burrows, formerly of Ticonderoga and now living in Fair Haven, Vt., were race directors.

“We were a true New York-Vermont Champlain Bridge Run team,” Ockrin said.

“Dave was great to work with.”

First, second and third place awards were presented in eight age classes for men and women.

The race was part of a two-day celebration of the bridge May 19 and 20.

The grand opening was scheduled to coincide with the actual bridge completion.

When the contractor couldn’t give the Lake Champlain Bridge Community a definite completion date, the grand opening was delayed. The bridge actually opened to traffic last October.

Results include: Top 10 finishers: 1, Judson Hescock, 18:45; 2, David Huffman, 18:47; 3, Sara Facteau, 18:50; 4, William Venner, 18:54; 5, Travis Dunham, 19:28; 6, Evan Prizzi, 20:18; 7, Jason Shugart, 20:31; 8, Raymond Boutin Jr., 20:34; 9, Jared Whalen, 20:30; 10, Rosario Gallo, 20:43.

Jay Hebert of Ticonderoga races to victory in the 110-meter hurdles at the New York State Federation Meet.

Ticonderoga from page 1 the fourth fastest high school time in the nation, according to his coach. The Olympic B qualifying standard is 13.72 seconds. Only a sophomore, he’s only 1.2 seconds away from the world record in the 110 hurdles held by Cuba’s Dayron Robles.

“When you run 13 seconds you’re knocking on the door (of the Olympics),” Thorne said. “He’s got a chance to reach 13 this weekend.”

The Sentinel champion is more reserved than his coach.

Olympics?

“That’s too far away to think about,” Hebert said. “I just want to work hard, improve and run in college.”

Hebert is running in the high school national championship track meet this weekend in Greensboro, N.C. That meet features two divisions — emerging elite and championship. Being a sophomore Hebert is slated to be in the emerging elite race, but Thorne thinks his thinclad may be moved up to the championship event.

“I’d like to see him in the merging elite, but he has the fourth fastest time in the country so they may put him the championship race,” Thorne said. “That race will be all seniors, the best of the best. I’d like to see him ease into national competition.”

Hebert has no expectations for the national meet.

“I just want to go experience the entire thing,” the Ti student said.

“Next year and the year after I hope I can really compete at nationals. I still have a lot of learn.”

Hebert dominated the New York State championship meet. He won his preliminary heat in 14.35 seconds, the fastest time of all qualifiers. He then won the small-school title in 14.33, the best time of the entire meet, before winning the Federation crown in 14.41.

The Federation race was run in wet conditions.

“I got off to a decent start,” Hebert said of win in the Federation race. “At about the fifth or sixth hurdle I couldn’t see anyone in my peripheral vision. That’s when I really tried to pick it up.”

Hebert said he was confident going into the state and Federation

“After the Eddy Meet when I posted the 14.07 everyone made a big deal about it,” he said. “I started to think maybe I could win at states.”

His coach agrees. The Eddy Meet was a turning point.

“The key (to the state championship) is that he’d done it before,” Thorne said. “Jay ran at the Eddy Meet earlier this season and beat most of the same people who were at states. He had done it before.

All he had to do at states was run his race.”

The Eddy Meet, held each year at Union College in Schenectady, is one of the most competitive high school meets in the Northeast.

Even with his earlier success, Hebert was nervous heading into the state meet.

“I don’t usually get nervous before a race, but I’ve never been so nervous in my life,” he said. “I was the top seed so I knew everyone was gunning for me. Coach always tells me to not worry about the other runners, to just run my race. That’s what I did.”

Hebert went undefeated in an event that is often decided by hundredths, even thousandths, of a second. Even the slightest mistake can be costly to a hurdler.

“Coach Thorne has really helped me,” Hebert said. “We practice a lot, going through the same motion over and over. You have to be absolutely comfortable with your form.”

Thorne said Hebert has a rare combination of speed, proper technique and endurance.

“He’s a special kid,” Thorne said. “He’s going to get stronger, more mature. We’ll work on a few technical flaws he can correct.

We’ll get him into the weight room on the off season. By the time he’s a senior no one will be able to touch him.”

Hebert is the fourth Ti athlete to win a state title — all in track and cross country. Jeremy Hall won the boys discus about 20 years ago. Andrea Staepel won the girls 800-meter run in 1998. Lee Berube won the state cross country championship in 2007.

Ticonderoga has never had a team win a state championship.

Shawn Silliman of Ticonderoga also reached the state championship meet. He placed 13th in the 400-meter hurdles in 1 minute, 1.63 seconds.

Exalted Ruler Marjorie Hurlburt stands with the winners of the Ticonderoga Elks "Take a Kid Fishing" tournament. Each contestant received a fishing pole and tackle box. Largest fish winners were, ages 5-9, Dillon Moore, Tyler Russell and Sophie Johndrow; ages 1012, Ryan Moore and Josh Moore, ages 1314, Wyatt Granger.

Longest fish winners were, ages 7-9, Erika Bennett, Lauren Stonesch and Owen Stonesch; ages 1012, Kiela Jorden, Connor LaRock and Natalie O'Neil; ages 13-14, Logan Jordon, Joel Cook and Wyatt Granger.

Tuesday, June 26 Our featured pet this week is Bandit, a beautiful tabby shorthair-mix who arrived at a woman's home as a stray. Sadly, she was unable to keep him and brought him to the shelter so that he could find a forever home. Bandit is a bit shy and skittish, but allows shelter staff to pet him and give him a hug. He is slowly becoming less anxious and we believe that he is truly a sweet-natured cat who simply needs love and attention to help him come out of his shell. Bandit is seeking a quiet home where he can enjoy sunning himself in a window as well as gentle petting and a good scratch behind the ears and under his chin now and then.

We are sure this gentle, shy Bandit will steal your heart if you give him the chance!

NORTHCOUNTRYSPCA his week, the NCPSCA would like to share with you some hot weather care tips, courtesy of our friends at Petfinder.com. Your pet is susceptible to heat stroke in a similar manner to humans.

Be on the alert for signs such as panting, lethargy, drooling, vomiting or collapse. If these occur, you need to take him to the vet as soon as possible for treatment. Heat stroke can cause permanent organ damage, and even death. Give your pet extra water to help him stay hydrated, and add ice cubes to the bowl for an added treat. Your pet may enjoy having a fan on where he can cool himself. Avoid leaving your pet alone in the car—temperatures can reach up to 120 degrees in a matter of minutes. Take walks with your dog in the morning or evening, when temperatures are cooler, and avoid walks on hot pavement which can injure delicate paws. Petfinder recommends that you also do not leave your dog alone outside for more than a few minutes when summer temperatures are high. Even in the shade, he can be at risk for heatstroke.

Brush your pet regularly and, if recommended by your vet, keep his fur trimmed no shorter than one inch in length to avoid possible sun damage to his skin. Following these simple guidelines can help your pet have a healthy and happy summer!
