No formal announcement

FOX TV show to feature group of local men.

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Lowe’s has closed its T iconderoga store.

The national home improvement chain made no public announcement, but failed to open for business Monday, Aug. 15. Calls to the stor e wer e answer ed with an automated message, “Sorry, this location is permanently closed.”

All of the stor e’s 86 employees have been terminated. They will r eceive pay and benefits for 90 days and be eligible to apply for positions at other Lowe’s stores, according to Stacy Lentz, a Lowe’s spokeswoman.

“The T iconderoga stor e was one of seven that closed last night,” Lentz said Monday morning. “It failed to reach sales estimates fr om the outset. Despite the har d work of the employees there didn’t seem to be any scenario that would lead to profitability in that location.”

A few workers will be at the site the next week to r emove inventory , then the building will be empty , CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

The Ticonderoga Chapter National Society of the Daughters of the American Rev olution (DAR) recently received a donation of $600 from White Electronics. Ticonderoga Town Justice Keith Dolbeck and Dan Blanchette test metal detectors for White Electronics. Dolbeck was recently sent two detectors instead of one. When he tried to return one of the detectors, Ken White, pr esident of the company, told him to keep it or sell it and g ive the pr oceeds to a local charity. Dolbeck decided t o give the pr oceeds to the DAR. From left are Ticonderoga Chapter Regent Margaret Scuderi, Dolbeck and Blanchette. For more information on DAR visit www.DAR.org or www.youtube.com/TodaysDAR The local men was asked to find missing treasure on a farm in W indham, in the Catskill region.

“Years ago a gentleman took all his assets, converted them to gold and buried them on his farm,”

Blanchette said. “His family had no idea wher e to find it.”

Blanchette and the others are pr ohibited fr om discussing specifics of the pr ogram until after it airs, but he acknowledged “we wer e very successful.”

The Blanchettes and French took part in two days of filming.

“It was one heck of an experience,” Blanchette said.

“To be part of something like

Blanchette is quick to point out he and the others are not normally tr easure hunters.

“We try to r escue artifacts,” he said. “W e’re not really tr easure hunters, but history seekers. Ticonderoga is a history-rich community; there is so much to find. We recently discover ed an 18th Century historic site in a farmer ’s field that had been

From one-of-a-kind comics to a 300-year -old violin, the pair will travel the country to uncover age-old mysteries.

The show debuts on Wednesday, Aug. 24, at 8 p.m. The local men were told their episode will be the third or fourth aired.

Dan Blanchette and Ti resident Keith Dolbeck ar e nationally-known for using metal detectors to unearth historical artifacts. When the pr oducers of “Buried Treasure” starting searching for someone to help locate missing gold, they learned of the Ticonderoga duo.

“Keith and I have been metal detecting 17 years,” Blanchette explained.

“When the TV pr oducers started r esearching metal detectors, they hear d about us. They asked if we would help find a buried treasure.”

Dolbeck was unavailable to assist, so Blanchette asked his son and Fr ench to join him on the quest.

During the past two decades Blanchette and Dolbeck have found many items with historical significance.

They would like to someday create a museum in downtown Ticonderoga to display the artifacts.

The history enthusiasts have also been active on several other fr onts. They wer e leaders in the r ecreation of Lord Howe’s death in Ticonderoga a decade ago and routinely bring history pr ograms to ar ea schools and historical societies.

They r ecently arranged a $600 donation to the T iconderoga Chapter National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) from White Electronics. Dolbeck and Blanchette test metal detectors for White Electronics. Dolbeck was recently sent two detectors instead of one. When he tried to r eturn one of the detectors, Ken White, president of the company , told him to keep it or sell it and give the proceeds to a local charity .

Dolbeck decided to give the proceeds to the DAR. Blanchette noted the support of Ken White, Allen Holcolmbe and Melissa Wise of White Electronics. The company, h e s aid, p layed a key role in arranging the television appearance.

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com HAGUE — The Hague Oktoberfest is growing.

The thir d annual event will become a thr ee-day af fair this year , Sept. 23 to 25. In past year ’s Oktoberfest has been a single day.

Festivities will get under way Friday, Sept. 23, with an Oktoberfest dance. Saturday will feature live music, beer gard en, festival games, and childre n’s activities. The event will close with a non-denominational Sunrise Service on the beach Sunday morning.

“The 2009 and 2010 Oktoberfests were a huge success with more than 1,200 attendees annually,” said Donna W otton, an Oktoberfest planner . “The 201 1 Oktoberfest will not only include the new events throughout the weekend, but the feature event on Saturday will be expanded to include even mor e Harvest Fair vendors, games for adults and fun activities for the kids.”

The Oktoberfest Dance will take place under the tent at the Hague town park fr om 7 to 10 p.m. Friday. Local band Calamity Rock will perform rock and roll standards for dancing and the Oktoberfest beer tent will be open.

“This is a family-friendly event with festival food and non-alcoholic beverages available, so bring the family for dinner and dancing at the Hague beach,” Wotton said.

Headlining Saturday’s live entertainment will be the Fritz Polka Band from Verona. The only German music band to have corporate sponsorship fro m Jagermeister, they are known for their unique spin on oompah and polka music.

The Rev. Bruce Tamlin of Silver Bay will pr eside over a non-denominational service on Sunday morning under the tent.

“The beauty and serenity of the lake and the great fellowship will no doubt lift the spirits,” Wotton said.

Hague Oktoberfest is sponsored by the town and businesses of Hague.

“After its success over the past couple of years, we’r e excited to expand the Hague Oktoberfest to include these additional activities,” Hague Supervisor Dan Belden said. “We have such a beautiful spot her e on the lake and it takes mor e than just an afternoon to explore. We want to give folks a gre at excuse to spend a fall weekend here sharing a great time with the friendly residents of Hague.”

The festivities will happen rain or shine under the tents in the Hague park, right on the shores of Lake George.

Viewpoint

Lowe’s closure a reality check: We need leadership, confidence Soul searching needed L

J

ust two years ago Ticonderoga leaders envisioned a vibrant commercial district at its “Four Corners.” The area surrounding the intersection of Routes 9N and 74 already had Wal-mart attracting thousands of shoppers. Lowe’s and Dunkin’ Donuts had just opened. Rite Aid, wanting to be where the action is, moved from its downtown location to the “Four Corners.” Plans were being discussed to bring national hotel and restaurant chains along with several smaller retailers to the area.

To prepare for the economic boom, the town extended infrastructure in the area. New York State modified Route 9N to handle the expected increase in traffic.

Ticonderoga seemed poised to make an economic leap. Today, those dreams have been dashed. Dunkin’ Donuts closed just a few months after opening and now sits empty. Plans for the hotel and restaurant collapsed. This week Lowe’s unexpectedly closed, leaving 86 people unemployed and a 124,000 square feet building empty.

Wal-mart remains and — like it or not — is the community’s retail engine.

When Wal-mart expressed interest in Ticonderoga more than a decade ago, a common debate took place. Are “big box” stores good for communities? With the loss of Lowe’s, that debate has been renewed without an answer. Lowe’s failed, leaving behind a huge warehouse-type building that could sit vacant for years. Wal-mart has succeeded, providing jobs, area shoppers goods and local government taxes.

Where does Ticonderoga go from here?

No one can accuse local leaders of being disengaged. The community has the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership, Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, Ti Economic Development Committee, PRIDE and the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce all working to improve the local economy. And it has plans. There’s the Quality Destination Plan, the National Main Street Trust plan and plans to construct a replica

18th Century sawmill to serve as a tourist draw and economic hub.

Ticonderoga is not alone. Communities throughout the North Country are struggling to improve their economies.

Almost all have similar local groups working on the issue. And there have been state programs, like the now-defunct Empire State Development Zones, that were supposed to spur economic development. Offering tax breaks, loans and other incentives, the EDZ program was supposed to bring major manufacturers and jobs to the North Country. To take full advantage of the program Essex County beefed up its Industrial Development Agency and communities constructed industrial parks awaiting companies. Today, those parks in Ticonderoga, Moriah, Schroon Lake and Keeseville sit mostly empty.

Walking along Main Street in Port Henry recently, Tom Scozzafava could only shake his head.

“I’m frustrated,” the Moriah supervisor admitted. “Our economy is worse now than when the (iron) mines closed in 1972. Look at the businesses that have closed in the last three years. Port Henry’s main street doesn’t have a single business on its east side.

“What do we have to do? Why can’t we attract business here,” Scozzafava asked. “What do we need to do? I don’t have the answer, but I know we need to do a lot of soul searching.”

The loss of Lowe’s is a blow the area economy, but perhaps it’s also an opportunity to do that “soul searching.”

What type of economic development does a community want? What type is needed? What type is realistic? Those and many other questions need to be answered, especially before local communities roll out the red carpet for another big box retailer.

Changes for Best Fourth in the North panel

By Matt Courtright

T

he Best Fourth in the North is a town of Ticonderoga committee, dedicated to providing residents and area visitors with a unique and memorable Fourth of July experience. The theme of this year ’s annual celebration was “Fourth of July throughout the Years,” honoring those who have helped keep this tradition alive in our community. This year ’s celebration was used as an opportunity to thank and honor the Ticonderoga Fire Department, Jim Martin, Kitty Garand, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, past Best Fourth in the North Committee members, and all of the dedicated volunteers who have made this celebration possible for so many years.

Throughout the weekend there were traditional activities in Bicentennial Park, including amusement rides, games, live music, vendors and more. The 2011 celebration was kicked off with the return of Ti Idol, a singing contest that mirrors American Idol.

A few changes were made this year, giving the show a new feel. Instead of elimination rounds being held at the Ti High auditorium as in years past, the entire competition was held in Bicentennial Park from July 1-3. The judging portion of the competition was also changed to mirror not only American Idol, but America’s Got Talent and the new hit television program The Voice as well. The 2011 winners of Ti Idol were Karen Disbrow, adult division, Danee Jo Haran, teen division, and Alyssa Tucker, junior division.

Monday, July 4th, was a day full of timehonored traditions, including the Montcalm Mile, a downhill footrace that began on Wicker Street and proceeded down Montcalm Street. This years’ winner of the Montcalm Mile was Lee Berube. The Montcalm Mile was followed by a bed race and a conventional parade. The winner of the bed race was Treadway’s Service Center. A grand fireworks display capped off the weekend-long celebration, a display bigger than any the Best Fourth in the North committee has planned in its previous years.

The Best Fourth in the North committee is in need of members and volunteers to ensure that this treasured celebration continues into the future. Currently, there is a very small group of dedicated volunteers who serve on the committee. These committee members spend many hours throughout the year planning and making this celebration possible.

Without more volunteers to help keep the Best 4th in the North tradition alive, the future of the celebration may be unknown for the following years.

There are some changes in regards to the Best Fourth in the North committee that have taken place. Angela Brown who has been the chairperson for a number of years and a dedicated volunteer to the committee over the past 10 years, has stepped down as chairperson. She has handed the reigns over to Debbie Barber, who has been a dedicated volunteer to the committee for many years.

It has been a pleasure to work alongside Angela Brown in being a part of the Best Fourth in the North committee. Even though her leadership will be missed, I am equally as excited to work with Debbie in planning next year ’s event. Her knowledge in regards to what it takes to plan an event on such a large scale will be invaluable to the committee.

The 2012 celebration is already in the beginning stages of planning. The Best Fourth in the North committee recently met at the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce office, located in downtown Ticonderoga. If you are interested in serving on the committee and volunteering your time, please contact 585-6876.

Matt Courtright is executive dir ector of the Ticonderoga Ar ea Chamber of Commer ce and a member of the Best Fourth in the North committee.

Disagrees with letters To the Times of Ti:

Letters to the Editor Make your voice heard To the Times of Ti:

I rar ely comment on letters written by others because I passionately believe that they have as much right to their opinion and I do mine. However, there have been a couple letters that I don’t believe the authors would have written had they thought a little deeper on what they were advocating. I feel a need to rebut those letters.

One writer suggested that the signs in town should be taken down. Fr eedom of speech comes in all forms. So it seems strange to me that while she is expr essing her view in a public for um called a newspaper, she is trying to deny others the right to expr ess their views in signs which ar e also a form of public foru m. Got to disagree with this writer.

Another writer indicates we should just accept the boar d’s decision because we elected them to make our decisions for us.

Excuse me? I don’t r emember giving anybody the right to decide to take away my right to vote. I must agr ee whole-heartedly with another writer on this one when she rightly bemoaned the fact that “so many folks in my town were willing to cede their rights and duties, who don’t grasp the concept of personal r esponsibility...” I might add that the danger of mindless obedience of people who cannot think for themselves is prime breeding grounds for power-grabbing people. We have already seen a good example of that. I rest my case on that one, too.

I would hope that these same writers will use their fr eedom of speech to once again express their opinions when they get their new assessments and find they have increased despite the fact the market value of their homes is about half of what it used to be.

A very wise man, in his capacity as a councilman, once said “Don’t mess with the rights of the townspeople.” He was a man who loved his town and gave selflessly of himself and his money. At one time or another he was not only a councilman, but a justice of the peace, a constable, volunteer fir eman, chairman of a Republican committee and well-known and r espected businessman for many years. He was my father-in-law...Ned Spaulding.

I was shocked when I learned that several petitions wer e made supporting homosexuals at the Methodist Church Annual Conference in Rochester.

One that passed would r emove exclusive language of homosexuality by deleting “The chur ch does not condone the practice of homosexuality and considers it incompatible with Christian teachings.”

Another would end discrimination against homosexual clergy.

The six that passed will be sent to General Conference scheduled for May 2012 in Tampa. The six tabled can still be sent to General Conference by the sponsors.A 2/3 vote at General Confer ence is r equired to make changes in Church Doctrine.

Now that the state has legalized same sex marriage, homosexuals will r eceive the state benefits of marriage. The law respects separation of chur ch and state and makes it clear that no er ligious groups will be required to comply in any way.

The General Confer ence makes it clear in the Doctrinal Standar ds and our theological task – “United Methodists shar e with other Christians the conviction that Scripture is the primary sour ce and criterion of Christian Doctrine.”

Scriptures that comes to mind ar e I Corinthians, Chapter 6, vs. 9 and 10, Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor coveters, nor dr unkards, nor r evilers, no extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Leviticus, Chapter 18, vs. 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womanhood, it is an abomination.

I feel we ar e all sinners, and will be judged by God. This does not in any way say the church should change its doctrine to support or satisfy our sins. Those members who do not want Chur ch Doctrine changed should make their voices heard.

TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga’s annual appeal, The Fort T iconderoga Fund, is off to a good start.

At the recent Fort Ticonderoga Mid-Summer Gala event, Sandy Mor house, tr ustee and fund executive committee co-chair , announced the fund drive has commitments totaling $303,811 in hand. That amount has already been contributed by 100 per cent participation of both the curr ent boar d of trustees and the fort’s senior staff.

It compares to a total of $96,327 that was in hand at a similar date last year , and it is more than 50 percent of the fund’s $600,000 goal this year.

The news was gr eeted by loud applause from the audience.

Morhouse concluded his remarks by offering, “We are off to the races with a wonderful early lead, but a lot of the track still lies ahead. We continue to count on everyone responding as gener ously as they can to help us serve Fort Ticonderoga’s mission.”

Within the next several weeks, a local solicitor committee of “fort-ifiers” will be personally contacting a large number of prior year donors. Fort T iconderoga will also be mailing a specially designed appeal piece to its larger community.

Board Pr esident Peter Paine commented, “Our tr ustees have set an example that I hope everyone in our community will take to heart. In doing so, they will join us in ensuring that the fund sets a new r ecord by Dec. 31. Th at will r esult i n ensuring Fort Ticonderoga’s financial stability and, in turn, help make it an ever mor e important and meaningful part of our community.”

TICONDEROGA — A member of the Ticonderoga Elks has been elected to head the national organization.

David Carr of Cr own Point was elected national president of the Benevolent and Pr otective Order of Elks at its national convention in Phoenix. Carr took the oath of the highest office in the order on July 21.

Carr is a member of T iconderoga Elks Lodge #1494.

“It is such a humbling expeDavid Carr rience,” Carr said. “W ithout the encouragement and assistance of those who believed in me, especially my wife, Penny, I would not have been able to succeed to this high office to lead the nearly 900,000 members thr oughout our gr eat country.”

Carr is the third New York State Elks Association member to become national pr esident since 1978. His pr edecessors were Dr. Leonard J. Bristol of Saranac Lake and Peter T. Affatato, Esq. of Massapequa Park.

“Great organizations don’t just happen,” Carr said. “They evolve as a r esult of shared goals and objectives. Thanks to 143 years of exemplary leadership at the lodge, district, state and national levels, the Order of Elks has developed into one of the nation’s greatest organizations providing service to our nation’s y outh, v ictims of d isaster, v eterans, c hildren a nd adults with disabilities, and others in need in our communities.”

Carr will travel thr oughout the United States during the next year to meet and speak with state officers and members of the 2,034 lodges. He will visit at least 48 states, including Alaska and Hawaii.

One of the pr ograms he will be encouraging the states to adopt and/or continue is the Dictionary Pro ject. Carr was instrumental in introducing the program to NewYork State with the Ticonderoga Elks and then to the national level in 2004.

“This o utstanding p rogram h elps t o p romote l iteracy b y putting dictionaries in the hands of thir d graders acr oss the nation,” he said.

The T iconderoga E lks D ictionary P roject r emains i n f ull force, now headed by Richard A. Nadeau.

Carr served as New York State Elks Association secretary from 1999 to 2009, as a member of the Elks National Board of Trustees from 2006 to 2010, and as state pr esident from 2009 to 2010.

Active with numer ous volunteer gr oups in T iconderoga and Cr own Point, Carr lives with his wife Penny in Cr own Point. The couple has four childr en: David, who lives in Oklahoma with his wife Kim and their son Branden; John, who lives in Whitehall and has four sons, John, Jor dan, Anthony, and Austin; Lisa, who lives in Vermont with her husband Tim and their sons T imothy and Michael; and Clair e Butterworth, who lives in California with her husband Charles and their daughter Willow.

Sawmill project progressing at Ti archeological site TICONDEROGA — The historic replica French sawmill project has entered a new phase as more archeological digs took place recently.

A crew from Landmark Archeology, Altamont, spent four days digging sample pits to uncover possible artifacts at the site. Not unexpectedly , they encounter ed a gr eat deal of graphite along with rubble from the fill that was put in the area back in the 1970s. The report on any significant historic findings is due this fall. At that time it will be determined whether another round of archeology is needed.

The mill will be constructed on the site of the old American Graphite Company, famous for the lead in Ticonderoga Pencils, adjacent to the new Legacy Park. The replica will use power from the falls to saw logs in the traditional manner of the mid-1700s. The aims of the pr oject are to attract tourism to the downtown, to create jobs and to sell the tim-

ber to be used by artisans and for use in historic buildings.

Reconstruction of the 18th-century Fr ench sawmill has been under consideration at various times in the past but was identified as a viable center-piece to the Destination Master Plan by the Ticonderoga Quality Destination (TQD), the Economic Development Committee and town officials.

The funding for TQD came fr om Essex County Tourism Council. Ticonderoga was one of five communities that benefitted from the studies and co-operative plans to r evitalize tourism. PRIDE has been instru mental in securing funding for the initial phases of the pr oject and will help identify additional funding as the project moves forward.

Right: Jamie Penk from Landmark Archeology, Altamont, spent four days digging sample pits to uncover possible artifacts at the site of a replica French sawmill to be built in Ticonderoga.

Closing leaves employees with more questions than answers Employees at the Loweʼs store in Ticonderoga had no idea they were about to be terminated Aug. 14.

“We were told there would be a mandatory meeting for all employees at 7 p.m. Sunday,” said Valerie Hunsdon, who had worked at Loweʼs since October. “No one was Valerie Hunsdon concerned. We were supposed to be getting a new computer system and a restructured (time) clock system. We thought we were meeting about that.”

The Ti store manag“A lot of people were er, Mike Rusabsolutely devastated. so, had been at Loweʼs corPeople started crying, porate headsobbing immediately.” quarters for a few days beValerie Hunsdon fore the meetFormer Lowe’s Employee ing, Hunsdon said. Employees assumed he was gathering information on the new systems.

“When he (Russo) came to the meeting, there were several men with him,” Hunsdon said. “They immediately took over the responsibilities of the head cashier and asked all the employees to wait in the commercial sales area. A few minutes later they (management) came in and told us the store was closing immediately. They said they were very sorry.

“A lot of people were absolutely devastated,” she continued. “People started crying, sobbing immediately.”

Hunsdon, who worked as a cashier, said employees were stunned by the news.

“We had no idea whatsoever the store was closing,” she said. “We all know the stock market has been terrible, the economy is bad, but weʼd been told things were fine. There was no indication this could happen.”

All of the storeʼs 86 employees have been terminated. They will receive pay and benefits for 90 days and be eligible to apply for positions at other Loweʼs stores, according to Stacy Lentz, a Loweʼs spokeswoman.

Hunsdon, who is a single mother and a paraplegic because of a car accident, is like the rest of the former Loweʼs employees — wondering about her future.

“Iʼm going to start looking around (for a job),” she said. “I have limited availability, being a single mom and a paraplegic. Something will turn up. I have 90 days, at least thatʼs a blessing. I have plenty of faith things will work out.”

Seniors welcome at Roe Pond Moriah changes fishing regulations

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com WITHERBEE — Young anglers at Roe Pond can now have company.

A children’s fishing site, Roe Pond is now available to senior citizens.

The Moriah town board voted Aug. 11 to allow people age 65 and older to fish at the Witherbee pond along side children. Seniors will be allowed at the pond Monday thr ough Thursday, but must first show proof of residency and get a fr ee permit fr om the town clerk’s office.

Seniors must agree to “catch and release.”

Roe Pond was designated a children-only fishing area about a decade ago. It is stocked annually and hosts the Roe Pond Invitation-

Moriah from page 1 Fuse and Generationz.

“It came together with the help of Geor ge Potter, band leader of Loose Connection.

George managed to get three local bandsto perform,” Garrison said. “He has lined up 5 Story Fuse, led by Mike Esposito, and the Mountain Lakes band called Generationz, and George’s own band, Loose Connection.

“This is set to be a fun filled afternoon of fr ee live entertainment for all,” he said.

The concert is expected to last six hours.

Moriahstock is the brainchild of John Deflice.

“John thought it would be a great showcase for local artist to display their talents on stage for the benefit of their community ,” Garrison said. “It’ll be a casual, fun afternoon gathering for the entire family. Attendees are encouraged to visit local eateries and/or bring a picnic

al youth fishing tournament each year.

Brian Venne, a Moriah justice, led the campaign to make Roe Pond a children’s fishing area when he was on the town boar d. He suggested the change.

“Now a grandfather can take his grandchildren fishing ther e,” Venne said. “Roe Pond has always been about giving children an opportunity to fish. This doesn’t change that. Now children will have the opportunity to learn from adults.”

Tom Scozzafava, Moriah supervisor agreed.

“This is a good thing,” he said. “Per haps even more children will be able to fish at Roe Pond now that they can go with their grandparents and others.”

While the pond is “catch and r elease” for adults, childr en ar e allowed to take home their trophies.

For information call the town clerk’s office at 546-3341. lunch to enjoy along with the music.”

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava is looking forward to the event.

“Anytime you can pr ovide fr ee entertainment for local r esidents and attract visitors to the town it’s a good thing,” Scozzafava said.

“I’m looking forwar d to it. I hope we have a great turn out.”

The Moriah Community and Economic Development (EDGe) group was formed at Garrison’s urging after he was elected to the town board two years ago.

“This is just one of many pr ojects that have come from the formation of the Moriah Community and Economic Development gr oup — Moriah Edge,” Garrison said. “Our gr oup is trying to take the assets that town has and we are trying to come up with ideas to capitalize on what we already have and are not utilizing.

In the futur e we ar e working on a waterfr ont celebration/autumn leaves celebration and a heritage festival.”

The pH7 committee is a group of concerned

Roe Pond, home to the annual Roe P ond Invitational children’s fishing tournament, is now open to senior citizens. citizens who are working for the betterment of Port Henry. It was formed after an effort to dissolve the village failed. The people who formed the committee felt that since the citizenry had voted to keep the village, they should work toward preserving and improving the village.

The civic group has an eye on impr oving Port Henry’s streetscape and has sponsored several projects to that end. It also erected a community Christmas tr ee in the cir cle on Br oad Street and decorated it for the holidays. It is also sponsoring a farmers market this summer.

Generating interest in village elections is another goal of the pH7 committee. It sponsor ed

a debate for village candidates for office prior to last spring’s elections.

The Moriah Chamber of Commerce is a longstanding group of local mer chants working to improve the town and village. It’s active throughout the year , under the leadership of President Jack W oods, and sponsors events such as the summer concert series in the park, Champ Day and the annual Labor Day celebration.

Moriahstock is the first collaboration between the Moriah Community and Economic Development (EDGe) group, pH7 and the Moriah Chamber of Commerce.

Schroon Lake • Times of Ti - 19

Scaroon Manor campground hailed by local officials at opening CHESTER — Local and state of ficials gathered Tuesday to celebrate the opening of the expanded Scar oon Manor Campgr ound and Day Use area, a facility that now accommodates overnight camping.

Covering 241 acres on the west side of Schroon Lake, the campgr ound is considered a prime attraction for vacationers and a prime element in the economies of northern Warren and southern Essex counties.

The new development is on the site of the historic Scaroon Manor resort, considered an important component of local cultural heritage. Many of the original buildings remain intact, with many new facilities built recently by the state.

With its 60 sites, the campground can now accommodate tents, trailers and self-contained RV campers and offers a such ameni-

ties as hiking, fishing, motorboating, canoeing, bicycling, waterskiing, picnicking and swimming.

The campground also offers extensive barrier-free access for people with mobility limitations, observed state Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens at the ceremony.

"We are thrilled to of fer the public a oneof-a-kind campgr ound that has been designed from the ground up to provide access to the natural beauty of theAdirondack Park to people of all abilities," he said, thanking employees of Warren County and the towns of Chester and Schr oon Lake for their help in the project.

Senator Betty Little said she approved of the upgrades.

"Scaroon Manor is a r eal tr easure that is

now accessible to all and that is something wonderful to celebrate,” she said.

All campsites, showers and r estrooms, boat docks, fishing piers and designed to surpass requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, officials said.

Assemblywoman T eresa Saywar d said,that Scar oon Manor now of fers an affordable vacation close to many Capital Region residents.

"The campground offers a relaxing atmosphere in a beautiful setting for North Country residents and tourists alike,” she said.

Construction on the project began in 2004, and the Day Use are a was opened to the public in 2006. Last year, the facility was closed to the public due to state budget cutbacks, angering local officials. Work, however was resumed on the ambitious pr oject, quelling

the objections.

At the ribbon-cutting, Town of Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe praised the collaborative project, noting the new facilities would boost the area’s economy.

"I applaud the long awaited development of the magnificent Scaroon Manor property,” he said, noting its two miles of scenic shoreline.

Karen Thayer of Southern Adirondack Independent Living Center, praised the facility’s accessibility for all.

“The campgr ound pr esents an unparalleled opportunity for people with disabilities to fully appr eciate the beauty of the North Country — and to spend r eal quality time with friends and family,” she said.

Crown Point church moves service to Penfield

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com IRONVILLE — The First Congregational Church of Crown Point will celebrate “Heritage Sunday” Aug. 21.

The chur ch will join the annual Heritage Day celebration at the Penfield Museum with a service at the historic Penfield Church , at 9:30 a.m. There will be no service at the “Church in the Park” this week. The service will be conducted by Pastor David Hirtle.

The Rev. S.L. Herrick, pastor of The First Congre gational Church of Crown Point, began holding services in a rural portion of the community known as Ironville nearly 190 years ago, according to Hirtle.

To mark that effort, current members and the pastor of First Congregational Church of Crown Point will join with the Penfield Historical Society and all those in attendance in a Heritage Day service at the old Second Congregational Church Meeting House.

“The church records show that at a special meeting of the Congregational Society, in 1846, the Second Congr egational Chur ch of Cr own Point was formed,” Hirtle said.

“Congregationalism, inheritors of the fr ee spirit of the Separatists that left England aboard a tiny vessel called The Mayflower in 1620, came together as a Christian community to build a church home where all would feel welcome, where all had a voice in the path they believed God was directing them.

“The faith of those early settlers, carved out of the wilderness of the Adirondacks, a church building in 1845 and dedicated in October of that year ,” Hirtle said. “The building cost $1,600 and boasted a basement used for the education of its members and the community. It was a focal point of that small, gro wing community. It provided not only a place of worship, but a communal center for meetings, times of joy and of loss, and great struggle during the early days of this area.

“This special service will bring together friends and families fr om the ar ea,” he added. “It will serve as a bridge from the days before electricity and electric organs to this time of computers and microchips.”

The service will recall hymns, played on the historic pump organ by Patricia Knapp, scriptures, prayers, anecdotal information and m essages for both ch ildren and the young at heart.

“All of this will join not only tradition but the hearts of faith that sustained those original worshippers and still is relevant to this day,” Hirtle said.

Hirtle has issued a challenge. The friends and members of the parish ar e to attempt to “pack a pew” with their own friends and family much as would have been done in the early days of worship here in the greater Crown Point area.

May 19, 1947-Aug. 14, 2011 CROWN POINT — Douglas James Stitt, 64, of Crown Point, died Sunday, Aug. 14, 2011, after a six month battle with pancreatic cancer.

Born May, 19, 1947, in Bay Shore, Doug was the only child of Teresa and the late James Stitt.

Doug graduated from Seaford High School, where he excelled as a musician, playing the French horn. After high school, he enlisted in the Air Force. Only after enlisting, did he learn of the existence of the Air Force Band — which providentially needed a French horn player.

Doug was the owner and founder of Champlain Valley Heating & Plumbing, which began in 1985.

Besides his business, Doug will be r emembered for his quick wit, his dry sense of humor , and his idealism. He did not r eceive many years of formal education, but he inspir ed many with his pr ofound wisdom.

He is survived by his wife, Maria, his mother Teresa Stitt of Crown Point, and his three children, Father Bryan Stitt of Ogdensburg, Karen Cruess and her husband Scott of Stafford, Va., and Michael Stitt of Mamaroneck; and his two granddaughters, Grace and Gianna Cruess.

Funeral arrangements are with Wilcox & Regan funeral home on 11 Algonkin St., Ticonderoga. Calling hours were from 2 - 4 and 7 - 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 16. A Catholic Wake Service was offered at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening.

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated by Father Bryan Stitt and local priests at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 17, at St. Mary's Catholic Church of Ticonderoga.

The Rite of Committal followed at the family plot of the Sacr ed Heart Parish Cemetery in Crown Point.

Donations in memory of Douglas J. Stitt may be made to St. Mary’s School, 64 Amherst Avenue, Ticonderoga 12883.

On August 1 5, 2 011 S tate H ealth C ommissioner N irav R Shah, M.D., M.P.H., Urged all New Yorkers to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites after mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) viru s have been identified in areas of the state.

Department of Health (DOH) recommends that New Yorkers should protect themselves when outdoors by using an effective mosquito r epellent and wearing long pants and long sleeves.

When indoors, New Yorkers ar e advised to keep doors closed and ensure that window screens are in place to prevent mosquitoes from infecting homes.

People are also advised to take steps to reduce the number of mosquitoes around a home or property, eliminate standing water in yar ds, and make sur e all windows and doors have screens that are in good repair. In addition, New Yorkers are urged to: * Dispose of used tires, tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots or similar containers in which water collects. * Drill holes in the bottoms of r ecycling containers that are kept outdoors. Make sur e r oof gutters drain pr operly and clean clogged gutters in the spring and fall. * Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarr ows when not in use, and change the water in bird baths twice a week. * Clean vegetation and debris fr om the edges of ponds.

Clean and chlorinate swimming pools, outdoorsaunas and hot tubs. * Drain water from pool covers.

Does chocolate lower blood pressure?

If you don’t eat chocolate now , the r esearch isn’t str ong enough to suggest you start. Bit if you already eat chocolate, here are some healthy tips: * Eat as much dark a chocolate as you can. * Avoid white and milk chocolates. Also avoid filled chocolates, such as truffles. * Make hot chocolate with unsweetened cocoa, water or nonfat m ilk, and little added sugar. * Choose dark chocolate instead of less-healthy tr eats, like full-fat ice cream or sugar- laden candy. * Watch your total calories. Chocolate has a lot of calories, and gaining weight will more than wipe out any benefits you might get from the compounds of chocolate.

The skinny on the state’s proposed plan to manage white-tailed deer

F

or those who have not kept up, the state is in the process of formulating a plan that biologists hope will help them better manage the white-tailed deer herd here, and new rules and season dates will most likely emerge as a result — some as early as next year.

What does that mean to you? Well, that depends on your preferred hunting method and where you like to pursue deer.

First and foremost, despite what you may have heard about the plan, I’m guessing there’s nothing in it that’s going to prompt you to sprint to the pickup and tear up your hunting license in protest.

There is a ton of misinformation and rumors circulating about the plan, and the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is asking all hunters to learn the facts before forming an opinion.

So, for those who have not curled up in an easy chair with the 57-page document, I am going to do my best to simplify its contents and explain how the changes might affect you.

Then, if you are upset about a particular part of the plan, at least you can make an informed response to the DEC.

Doe permits Biologists would like to switch to an across-theboard doe permit system instead of allowing a deer of either sex or antlerless only to be taken during bow and muzzleloader seasons.

That means a hunter with the appropriate tags would still be allowed two bucks — one during regular season and one during primitive arms — but would need to obtain a deer management permit to take a doe during bow, muzzleloader or regular season, anywhere in the state.

I spoke at length to state Wildlife Biologist Jeremy Hurst, who was instrumental in compiling the new plan and the recommendations in it.

He said it is very difficult for biologists to have “scale control” when hunters are allowed to take does with both bow and muzzleloader tags every year.

“In some cases, that’s not what’s best for deer management,” Hurst said.

Instead, biologists would like to be able to issue doe permits based on the health of the herd each year — giving out more where needed and less where the herd is struggling from factors like winter kill.

That would keep the number of deer more level from one year to the next based on what an area can support, Hurst said.

The flip side to that, Hurst acknowledged, is that not as many deer management permits would be issued in areas with low deer densities, like the Adirondacks.

“The reality is, in low population densities, we can’t afford much antlerless harvest,” he said. “If we had a year where we saw a big swing in deer or hunter numbers, the impact on the herd could be scary. It would take many years to rebound.”

At the same time, it would open an opportunity for rifle hunters to take a doe anywhere in the state with a deer management permit for that area.

Antler restrictions Another area that is sure to spark some conversation in hunting camp is with regard to antler restrictions. The state proposes increasing the hunting area where antler restrictions are in place. Restrictions were put in place in 2006 in Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) 3C, 3H, 3J, and 3K. In these units, bucks taken have to have at least one antler with three or more points which are at least 1 inch long, including brow tines.

The goal is to increase the opportunity to harvest 2-plus-year-old bucks with greater antler growth.

The proposal on the table is to increase those restrictions to include WMUs 3A, 4G, 4O, 4P, 4R, 4S, and 4W, in counties like Schoharie, Greene, Delaware and Ulster, around and south of Albany.

Youth The plan quotes some startling statistics about dwindling hunter numbers, so in response, the DEC seems focused on getting more kids afield, and has proposed a special three-day firearms season Columbus Day weekend. The DEC is also advocating to lower the legal age to hunt big game to 12, some-

thing 46 other states have already done.

Hurst said officials contemplated allowing youth out in late September, prior to bow season, but that plan didn’t coincide with the license year, which renews Oct. 1.

Season dates To appease bowhunters who will have to share the forest with youth gun hunters for three days, the DEC is proposing lengthening the bow season to the north and south. Under the plan, bow would open Sept. 27 to the north and Oct. 1 to the south. The northern season would run through muzzleloader, which would open a week later on Oct. 20. Regular season to the north would then start Oct. 27 and run through Dec. 9, and a week of late muzzleloader after that.

The southern bow season would run Oct. 1-Nov. 16 when regular season would kick in, which would wrap up Dec. 9 and muzzleloader would follow Dec. 10-18.

A proposal to mix in a four-day early muzzleloader season from Oct. 9-12 in the southern zone has stirred much controversy, as rumors have circulated that it is in the works for most or all of the southern zone. But Hurst said that’s not the case. Instead, the concept is to leave the option open for a muzzleloader season in areas with very high deer populations.

Only then would a WMU be open to the early muzzleloader hunt, he said.

Crossbows, Setbacks and penalties DEC has taken more than 2,000 comments dating back to 2009 on this plan, and a majority of New Yorkers support the use of crossbows for all seasons, especially for those with physical disabilities, so DEC officials are endorsing them for use in the plan.

The state is also proposing reducing the setback required for using longbows and crossbows around structures from the current 500 feet to 150.

And, lastly, DEC is proposing an increase in fines and civil penalties for violators. The current penalty structure hasn’t changed since 1996, and many sportsmen’s groups support bigger penalties for those who illegally take wildlife.

What’s Next?

According to Hurst, some of these proposals are more likely to be seen before others. The DEC is allowed to establish some rules on its own, like antler restrictions and season dates, while others take new laws in Albany.

Recommendations like the minimum hunting age, increasing penalties and the use of crossbows, for example, take legislative approval, and will therefore take more time to put in place, as will a change to an across-the-board doe permit system in the northern zone.

“Some of these are really just a concept, so lets not jump the gun,” Hurst cautioned. “There is no way, for example, that the Deer Management Permit system would come into play next year.”

How to comment For those who have not spoken up, the public comment period on the plan ended July 28, but Hurst said it will be several months before the plan is finalized and his office is not ignoring the opinion of those who are still submitting comments.

Comments may be submitted in writing to DEC Deer Management Plan, NYSDEC, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4754 or by email to deerplan@gw.dec.state.ny.us. Hurst can also be contacted directly at 402-8867.

onday, Aug. 15, 2011 has come and gone, and for the vast majority of outdoor travelers, the day passed by nearly unnoticed.

Yet, for a tiny fraction of the millions of outdoor enthusiasts who visit the Adirondacks annually, Monday was an important date.

It signaled the first day that licenses for the annual big game hunting season went on sale. It was a day that caused these enthusiasts to look back to the past, and to dream forward to the future.

Although the day dawned cloudy, cool and drizzly, it provided nothing but sunshine and warm thoughts in the eyes of most sportsmen.

It was a day that stirred up fond memories of past adventures, which mixed easily with anxious anticipation for future pursuits. Regardless of age and experience, the day is always a celebration of youth and the annual adventures that serve to keep us all young.

I thought about this, as I hiked into the woods to my hunting camp on a rainy, Monday afternoon. It is only a short journey to the small cabin, which of- Pictured is the old Wildcliff Lodge on Cranberry Lake. fers just few comforts The place is an orig inal log cabin, that was f ormerly beyond a simple wood- used to house lumberjacks. It used to attract a lot of stove, and a couple of deer hunters, and a fair share of brook trout anglers.

Despite such rustic austerity, the camp provides an adequate retreat. Although it isn’t located far from the din of civilization, it still provides an adequate escape. Like most camps, it allows me to retreat from the typical cares and concerns of the day, and to slow my pace, and escape the race.

Camps come in all shapes and sizes, but the buildings don't much matter. The physical location is more important than the size or number of structures. A rough camp can be just as comfortable as a Great Camp, since camp is simply a state of mind, and a place in time.

What truly matters is the company we keep, and the commitment to return to camp year after year. The real lure of a camp is the unique draw that continues to bring us back to the woods and waters, from one generation to next.

What is done in camp today has changed very little, from what was done over 100 years ago. It is still intended to offer a respite from the civilized world, and to provide us with a place to hunt deer, swap lies, mess about with boats, catch some fish, eat hearty food, laugh, have a drink, play some cards, smoke cheap cigars, and enjoy the company of old friends.

Although camps are often defined by their physical location, there is a much more potent, spiritual sense of camp. Upon returning to camp, we are transformed, we are relaxed and subdued.

Time slows, worries begin to diminish, appointments are forgotten, good times are remembered and everyday concerns begin to seem just a little less important.

Our worries center on the berries that need to be picked, the fish that must be caught, or that big old buck that always disappears over the far hill, on the evening before opening day. Fortunately, in camp, it always seems such troublesome concerns can be put off for just another day.

While traveling in the Five Ponds Wilderness a few weeks ago, I took the opportunity to revisit the old Wildcliff Lodge, located on the far, southern shore of Cranberry Lake. The property has long since been sold, and it now appears to be abandoned, with roofs sagging, and the buildings in various states of collapse.

But for many years, the remote log lodge was owned and operated by proprietors, Vern and Barbara Peterson. It offered a bar and restaurant, where travelers could always find a warm woodstove and a cold beer, or a home cooked meal, and a kind word.

Generations of hunters and anglers considered it to be their own “camp,” and I was most fortunate to number myself among them.

Despite its current dilapidated condition, I was transported back in time from the very moment I set foot on the shoreline.

Faded business cards still festooned the bulletin board outside on the front porch, and the place still carried the scent of wood smoke, mothballs and wet woolies, despite its many obvious points of ventilation.

It was a camp that I once shared with old friends, many of whom have long since departed. However, as I stepped onto the long, wooden porch, and gently pushed open the front door, their laughter returned. The warmth of their smiles mixed easily with faded memories of the times we had shared, and for one brief moment, I was back to camp.

I carried these memories as I traveled into Spectacle Pond, Olmstead Pond, Simmons Pond and beyond to the old, Slant Rock Camp located high on the hillside near Curtis Pond. I hope to return one day and share in the laughter again. It sure was good to visit the old haunts!
