Police force in Moriah questioned fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Is the Moriah Police Department a good investment?

That’s the question Tim Garrison is asking. The town councilman has initiated a discussion on the future

of the agency.

“We have the (Essex County) sheriff ’s department and the state police, do we need the Moriah Police Department?” Garrison asked. “We’re spending $100,000 a year on the police. Is that money being well spent?”

Garrison believes Moriah’s twoman police force does a good job, but

wonders if it’s limitations make the taxpayer investment worthwhile.

“There are 168 hours in a week,” Garrison said. “We have 80 hours of police coverage. That’s less than half the time that we have police available.”

Garrison hopes Moriah residents will discuss the merits of the local police department and make their feelings known to the town board.

“This is not a decision for the town

Polka band to headline Hague Oktoberfest.

25924

TICONDEROGA — New York Senator Charles Schumer toured the North Country Aug. 31.

On one stop of his tour he visited International Paper, a global paper and packaging company in Ticonderoga, and discussed his plan to make the extension of the Returning Heroes and Wounded Warriors Tax Credit a priority.

President Obama signed the credit into law in November 2011, making businesses hiring veterans who have been out of work for at least six months eligible for up to $9,600 in tax credits per veteran hired.

Schumer, whose father is a World War II veteran, said the program has been a proven success in getting veterans back to work.

“Vets are great people to hire because the military trains people the way a company does,” Schumer said.

“It’s teamwork, it’s following through on orders, it’s getting a job done, these are things that companies need.

It makes good sense to hire a vet.”

In the North Country, there are about 1,160 unemployed veterans. In New York State, 16.7 percent of veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan are

Polka band to headline Hague event Oktoberfest Sept. 21-22 HAGUE — The Fritz’s Polka Band will headline the fourth annual Hague Oktoberfest Sept. 21-22.

This will be the third year that the band has performed at the event and it anchors the festivities on Saturday afternoon.

“Fritz’s Polka Band has been treating their fans to their unique sound of traditional, and not-so-traditional polka since 1978,” said Donna Wotton of the Hague Oktoberfest committee. “FPB has performed at many famous clubs around the northeast including B.B. King's Club, The China Club and The Metropolitan Club. Among their movie credits, their music appears on ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ DVD, from Paramount Pictures. Last year FPB had two different songs appear in episodes of the hit cable TV show ‘Breaking Bad,’ which airs on AMC.” The weekend kicks off Friday, Sept. 21, with a dance under the tent from 7-11 p.m.

Local band Calamity Rock will perform rock and roll and country standards for dancing.

The beer tent will be open for business and food vendors will serve festival foods, burgers and dogs, and soft drinks. All ages are welcome.

On Saturday the 2012 Oktoberfest celebration starts at noon when Fritz’s Polka Band takes the stage.

Organizer Graham Bailey said, “FPB is nationally acclaimed for their great polka and oompah interpretations and we look forward to their return to the Oktoberfest stage for the third straight year. Dancing is encouraged!”

Information on the band is available at www.fritzspolkaband.com/home.

Hague Supervisor Edna Frasier said, “We invite everyone to come to Hague on this great fall weekend and discover our beautiful town and friendly community. Everything takes place right on the lakeside. Of course there will be plenty of beer, wine, German and Belgian food, burgers and dogs, funnel cakes and fries. The Silver Bay YMCA of the Adirondacks will host the kids activity tent with bobbing for apples, the bouncy house, and other fall favorites. When was the last time you could entertain your entire family for $5 a day!”

The festivities will happen rain or shine under the tents in the Hague Park at the intersection of Routes 9N & 8. There's free parking and everything is in walking distance.

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

Chamber ambassador program event slated Open house Sept. 12

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce is looking for ambassadors.

“Ambassadors provide local businesses with extra contacts for the Ticonderoga Chamber of Commerce,” explained Matthew Courtright, chamber executive director. “Part of being an ambassador is being involved in the community, fostering new relationships with area businesses and to act as an informational resource for members of the chamber.”

The chamber will hold an open house and social for anyone interested in the ambassador program Wednesday, Sept. 12, at 4:30 p.m. at the chamber office at 94 Montcalm St.

Allison Kaupelis from the Best Western Plus Ticonderoga Inn & Suites chairs the ambassador program. She is also vice president of the chamber board.

“Communities, especially small ones are built on bonds,” Courtright said. “Ambassadors have the ability to strengthen our businesses and reach out to the greater community through programming set up to assist the chamber. Ambassadors assist at chamber events and will be welcoming new members as a new initiative of being an ambassador.”

Current ambassadors include Joyce Martin-Barker of The Martin Agency, Norm Swift of Swift Maintenance, Lena Robetoy of Champlain National Bank, Mike McCord of Silver Bay, Maria Burke of Literacy Volunteers, attorney Alex Shmulsky and Heather Myers of Pyrofax Energy.

“The chamber started the ambassadors

group a couple of years ago,” Courtright said.

“All of the ambassadors, both past and present, have been such a great assistance to the chamber. Without the dedication of volunteers like the ambassadors the chamber would not be able to accomplish all that we do.

“We are in the process of regrouping the ambassadors, defining what an ambassador is and looking to expand the ambassadors assistance to the chamber and the community,” he said. “The open house and social is a way to thank our current ambassadors as well as give all of us and those interested in being an ambassador a chance to get together.”

Individuals can become a chamber ambassador as long as they represent a current chamber member.

For more information contact the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce at 585-

6619 or chamberinfo@ticonderogany.com.

The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce serves, markets and promotes the Ticonderoga area including, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Hague, Moriah and Putnam.

The TACC plans and hosts free community events, events that draw area visitors, assists area organizations with their events and projects, provides small business support and resources and business referrals, answers community and visitor questions and requests via phone, Email and mail, sends visitor area information upon request, keeps an online calendar of events, as well as an array of benefits for its members.

Living history event scheduled at Fort Ti this weekend TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga will host the British 1777 Campaign March living history weekend Sept. 8-9.

The event will feature the soldiers of the fort’s British, German and Loyalist garrison telling how they defended the fort during a three-day raid led by American commander Col. John Brown with his 1,000-man force.

Highlighted programs offered throughout the weekend include tours, musket demonstrations and military patrols.

“On Saturday evening return to Fort Ticonderoga as an eerie calm settles over the Champlain Valley,” said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga executive director. “As darkness falls the nervous British garrison will be faced with an alarm. With the flash and roar of musketry firing into darkness you will experience first-hand the confusion of nighttime battle as the fort’s garrison responds to an alarm after sunset. Will the alarm be caused by an American raiding party or false intelligence? Attend to find out!”

Advanced reservations are required for

the evening program. Tickets are $35 each.

Call 585-2821 for details.

“With the bulk of Gen. Burgoyne’s Army at Saratoga, a small garrison of British, German and Loyalist soldiers, kept watch at Fort Ticonderoga in early September 1777,” said Stuart Lilie, Fort Ti director of interpretation. “This living history weekend highlights the mixed garrison at the fort in the aftermath of John Brown’s raid as they await news from Saratoga or Canada at what would become the turning point of the American Revolution.”

On Sept. 13, 1777, a mission was launched against Ticonderoga by two American detachments of about 500 men each under the command of Brig. Gen. Jonathan Warner and Brown. They were sent to Ticonderoga with the goal of securing the release of American prisoners, destroying British provisions and, if possible to attack the fort.

On the morning of Sept.18, the forces converged on Ticonderoga. Over the next few days Brown’s force captured the British

blockhouse at the top of Mount Defiance, secured the release of 118 American prisoners and captured nearly 300 British soldiers.

Brown’s men also burned several of the fort’s outbuildings and destroyed about 150 batteaux. However, the American forces soon realized that without reinforcements and additional supplies, a direct attack on

the fort would not be successful.

On Sept. 22 Brown’s force called off the attack. Less than a month later, the British army capitulated at Saratoga and by early November the small British garrison remaining at Ticonderoga burned the fort’s remaining structures and retreated to Canada.

Author to discuss book at Hancock House TICONDEROGA — Maury Thompson will present a program and book signing of his book “The Biggest Kid at the Balloon Festival: The Walter Grishkot Story,” Friday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Hancock House in Ticonderoga.

Grishkot was best known throughout the region as the organizer and promoter of the Glens Falls Adirondack Balloon Festival.

“Mr. Thompson’s book will be available for sale at the program,” noted William Dolback, president of the Ticonderoga Historical Society. “This event is free to the public and light refreshments will be served.”

The book, filled with pictures from the balloon festival, which is now in its 40th year, and from throughout Grishkot’s life. It tells the story of the Warren County man whose touch seemed to turn everything into fun – which in turn put gold in the pockets of Warren County businesses. While Grishkot is known because of the Adirondack Balloon Festival, the book

Maury Thompson will present a program and book signing of his book “The Biggest Kid at the Balloon Festival: The Walter Grishkot Story,” Friday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Hancock House in Ticonderoga. shines a light on Grishkot’s whole career: promoter, publicist, photographer, tour boat operator and stunt genius.

Written by Thompson, a reporter for The Post-Star newspaper in Glens Falls, the book includes stories Grishkot told during two years of oral history interviews. Grishkot passed away in May 2011 and this book is now a tribute to his life.

Thompson is best known in Ticonderoga from his days as a cook at various diners in the 1970s and 80s, before he began his journalism career.

A portion of proceeds from the sale of the book benefit the Adirondack Balloon Festival Foundation, thanks to major underwriting from Glens Falls National Bank, a donation of paper from Finch Paper and a donation of the editing, layout and design services from Behan Communications, Inc. Aeon Nexus; Whittemore, Dowen & Ricciardelli; and Jointa Galusha LLC of Glens Falls and Queensbury also are underwriters.

The Hancock House, home of the Ticonderoga Historical Society, is a Georgian mansion, a gift of philanthropist Horace Moses, and houses a significant collection of regional material in its archives, along with an important research and large genealogical library.

“We invite you to join us at the Hancock House for what will be a very interesting program that you won’t want to miss,” remarked Dolback.

Times of Ti Editorial

The North Country is a great place to learn

A

s another season of school gets under way, the region’s community colleges continue to provide a quality education at a good price.

The North Country enjoys Adirondack Community College in Queensbury, North Country Community College in Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga and Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh.

These institutions are gems residing within their surrounding communities.

Adirondack Community College, founded in 1961, serves Warren, Washington and northern Saratoga counties and offers more than 30 academic programs.

North Country Community College, founded in 1967, serves Franklin and Essex counties. It has received both state and nationwide recognition for its academic programs.

Some people refer to Clinton Community College as “Harvard on the Hill,” a nickname that leaves those not in the know wondering what it is all about.

Driving up the hill one notices the beauty of its historic buildings, which housed presidents who ran the country from the scenic location that was once a hotel.

The view of Lake Champlain stops you in your tracks and you imagine yourself sitting on the balcony reading a book or writing a research paper as a college student.

Students, faculty, administrators and area business leaders say CCC has more than earned its academic reputation.

Typical learners fresh out of high school flock to it, and adult learners are quickly embraced into the CCC fold as one of its own, helping them ease back into life as a full-time student, providing them with the tools to exceed and shine and sending her off with a solid academic foundation.

Students and their families consistently provide glowing recommendations of the school. Many say the professors worked them hard, but were kind and helpful, and the school provided all the resources they needed to succeed.

CCC’s programs are renowned in the state and beyond, as reported in national ranking achievements and studies, such as one from Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, VT that praised reg-

istered nurses who graduated from CCC’s nursing program over graduates from other institutions.

CCC’s nursing program should be a significant source of pride for the institution, and the region should be proud that such skilled, patient-oriented nurses graduate from the school.

It’s not an easy program to get into and it is rigorous to complete, but that, among other aspects, is what distinguishes it.

Whether it be educating college students, training or retraining the workforce, or treading in the forefront of today’s technology, the school has consistently impressed.

Graduates of any of the school’s programs consistently say they were overwhelmed by how much they learned at the school, humbled by the professionalism and helpfulness of their professors and feel prepared to go on to the next stage of their lives, whether it be the workforce or a transfer to a fouryear school, usually Plattsburgh State, another stellar institution this community is fortunate to have.

The faculty and staff at CCC, NCCC and ACC excel in their roles.

Faculty members don’t hide the fire for the job — it is in their eyes, at the tips of their fingers and it dances off their tongues as they describe their courses and students. Students are fortunate to have knowledgeable professionals who care deeply.

CCC now enjoys a diverse class, hungry to learn and hopeful for the future.

Whether they come from China or Clinton County, and whether they are 18 or 50, they are in good hands and on the path to a bright future.

Adirondack and North Country community colleges are no doubt excited about their incoming classes as well and eager to delve into a new school year.

No matter which of these institutions students choose, they will not be disappointed with the education they receive.

Another one bites the dust

B

ack in June I used this column to question if there will be a daily newspaper in our future. Last week, our neighbors in Syracuse learned the answer to that question the hard way concerning the future of The Post-Standard.

Newhouse Newspapers, who announced in June that it would stop printing the daily paper The New Orleans Times-Picayune and its Alabama newspapers in Mobile and Birmingham, said last week it would end the daily distribution of two more of its newspapers, The Post-Standard in Syracuse and The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. Both papers will begin merging their content with their local news web sites, syracuse.com and pennlive.com, while delivering the printed newspaper only three days a week. Starting in January, The Post-Standard will publish only on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

The news prompted hundreds of comments by readers on both web sites, who expressed their concern about life without a local, seven-day-aweek newspaper. One such note said: “We grew up with the paper, and Dad reading us the Funnies every Sunday. Every Christmas, Dad also read us the famous response that Francis Parcellus Church of the NY Sun wrote to little 8-yr. old Virginia Hanlon: ‘YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS. He exists as certainly as love and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were No Santa Claus. This news feels like ‘NO SANTA CLAUS’... another tradition gone.”

Another person commented: “As we bemoan the death of the daily paper, brace yourselves for what is certain to be a very painful round of layoffs. I suspect we are going to lose some of our favorite columnists and reporters in the name of cost-reduction. I know I wrote this yesterday, but in New Orleans they cut 49 percent of the newsroom and in Birmingham, 60 percent. This does not bode well for the more senior staffers.”

A newspaper is more than words printed on a page. Newspapers were created to serve a purpose, and that purpose was not to be a cash cow.

On the contrary, the newspaper is the cheerleader, the whistle blower, the watchdog and the major economic booster for a community and the region it serves. Despite the popular belief that newspapers can’t compete with today’s technology, the simple truth is this move isn’t really about competition or technology. If the primary mission of a newspaper is to inform the community, the method by which the news is distributed shouldn’t leave people in the dark, nor should it be an excuse to cut expenses and jobs.

If those five newspapers were locally owned by an active member of the community, someone who was a professional newspaper publisher, we would not be seeing this same solution to the perceived problem in five different areas. This action to remake their news delivery method is an attempt by

senior management to keep more money for their shareholders, and the community will just have to live with the disappointment of less access.

Dan Alexander Consider some basic Thoughts from numbers: At a blended Behind the Pressline rate of 65 cents per edition, and an average of 70,000 copies per day, the Post Standard will lose $45,500 per day in circulation revenue for the four days per week they will stop delivering. That is $182,000 per week and $9.464 million per year, assuming they don’t raise the price, which they most certainly will. That number doesn't even take into account the tens of millions of dollars in advertising revenue they will lose in making this transition. Jobs will certainly be lost, and Central New York and the Capital Region of Pennsylvania will suffer as a result. Under a local family ownership, the needs of these communities would have been better addressed because they would have listened to their readers, community leaders and advertisers. The solution would not have come from a board room, but from the community.

The auto industry leadership at one time was so arrogant they felt they could produce substandard vehicles. They learned a hard lesson: If they don’t provide an outstanding car for the American public, someone else will. Hence we have an American car industry now trying to play catch-up with foreign manufacturers. In time the newspaper publishing industry will come to its senses and realize if they produce a better product, in keeping with the wishes of their customers, circulation and profits will follow.

One last comment from a wise Post-Standard reader: “Why pay $1 per day for something that you can leisurely read on your patio when you can spend several hundred dollars every couple years chasing the newest technology so that you can become one of the zombies I see everywhere glued to their smartphone, Ipad, etc. instead of making personal connections by actually talking to people?

The newest trend I have been observing is seeing parents (mostly moms) taking walks or sitting in the park incessantly texting instead of conversing with their young children. Technology is good but not every aspect of it is. We have raised a generation of college kids who have trouble conversing yet can bang out 10k texts per month or tweet well into the early morning thereby contributing to bad sleep habits that contribute to the obesity epidemic. For the record, I have a smartphone, IPad, and laptop so I am not a technophobe. I merely am one who uses it to "add value" to my life, not overtake it.”

Opinion • Times of Ti - 7

Letters to the Editor

Oppose state land purchases To the Times of Ti:

Tournament a success

Beware of rattlesnakes

To the Times of Ti:

Gov. (Andrew) Cuomo shows the same hatred and contempt that his father showed towards the Adirondacks, its people, its natural resources, and its environment. With purchasing the Finch/ Nature Conservancy lands he totally ignored the wishes and concerns of our local elected governing officials and the local residents. Instead he chose to destroy over 300 jobs, 200 sportsmen camps, and the economy of the local towns and villages. He chose to destroy all wildlife habitat and fishery, aquatic life on 69,000 acres of lands and waters.

Instead of keeping these lands in active state forest managed lands with wildlife habitat, forest management, and jobs, economic benefits; he damned these lands and waters to eternal destruction. We have all seen the lack of habitat on forest preserve lands.

Wildlife is left to starve and die without food and shelter. Over 3,000 bodies of water have been poisoned, silted, and all aquatic life, including our native brook trout murdered into extinction. Cuomo will now add another 175 lakes to this list. There will be no fish stocking, as each year we see DEC fishery and hatchery staff deleted, less fish being raised, and less waters stocked. Additionally, as we have seen in every UMP, the vast majority of the people will be banned from these lands. Sportsmen, disabled veterans, handicapped, elderly, and other outdoor recreationists will be denied access. These lands and waters , as we have seen with existing forest preserve lands, will become morgues with no wildlife, polluted waters, and no access. All motorized travel will be banned; no snowmobiles, ATVs, ORVs, motorboats; as we have seen with road closures, etc. in every UMP to date. Claims by the state to otherwise are a lie, as history has shown us.

Cuomo lies when he says he supports job growth, industry, and business, and this proves it. The time is long overdue for the sportsmen, local citizens, veterans, handicapped, elderly, and others to demand our elected officials take action to protect our communities. It is time to demand legislation that restricts forest preserve lands to those lands above 3,000 feet elevation. Time to demand active management of all state owned lands, including all forest preserve lands, for wildlife habitat and forestry products. Time to remove Cuomo and all other eco-terrorists supporters from office.

To the Times of Ti:

The first annual Relay for Life Golf Tournament was held Saturday, Aug. 11, at the Moriah Country Club. The golf tournament was one of the major fund raisers for our relay team Panthers For A Cure. Relay for Life has come to Crown Point and will be held on Oct. 6 and 7 at Crown Point School.

Our team would like to thank everyone who put in their time and hard work. thank you to everyone who helped by making a dish for our lunch for the golfers. We would also like to thank all the businesses for their donations and the hole sponsorships that they contributed to make our tournament and raffle a success. Our team would like to give our greatest thanks to the staff and the golfers themselves. Without these people the golf tournament would not have been the success it was.

Thank you to all of those who participated this year. We look forward to seeing everyone next year.

Moriahstock a success To the Times of Ti: Moriahstock 2012 had a better turnout this year over last. All who attended seemed to have a great time and the weather cooperated well with us. I want to thank all who make this free concert happen.

Thanks to George Potter of the band Loose Connections, Blaise Bryant and R J Walker and the band Generationz. This group of people have the heart and commitment to give back to their community to perform for all to enjoy!

Moriahstock 2013 is already in the planning stages and as with all community events, we are always looking for help and volunteers to make this a bigger and better event!

I want everyone to understand that this is our community and we can and we will make it a better place to live!

Tim Garrison Port Henry

I just wanted to share an experience with you as I feel this is a serious issue.

We bought a boat this year. We (my wife and two teen-age children) live and enjoy boating, especially on Lake George. After checking out the island in the Huletts Landing area we decided it would be fun to camp for a night or two. We were only able to fit one night in to our schedule. We had a wonderful day enjoying the outdoors, swimming and exploring the island.

It was around 7:30 when my wife and I were sitting on the boat watching my son swimming from the dock when my daughter came across a snake coming down to join us. We all thought she joking with us, but I started walking back up the path to see what the trouble was. I was no more than 2 or 3 feet from a tree when it started hissing at me. I just stopped and watched; a few seconds later this snake continues its journey across the path and as it is slithering past I notice two things — one this snake is large 3.5 to 4 feet long and about as big around as a fist. The other thing was that clear as day it was a rattle snake.

We were on a single site island that was relatively small. We immediately made a group decision to leave the island rather than risk further encounters with the snake. Of course this meant navigating the lake back to Mossy Point boat launch in the dark and packing or things with the last of the daylight which we accomplished hastily.

The next morning I called the Narrow Island ranger station and was trying to get some feedback on rattle snake sightings. I didn’t get any at all.

I then sent Emails to the DEC and the Lake George Park Commission, both asking the amount of snake sightings and why they don’t warn people about them.

You’re on an island in the middle of lake with only a faint idea of where you might seek the quickest medical attention. There is limited cell service at best. I picture a young toddler trying to investigate a snake or even an older child without knowing. This is definitely a potentially fatal scenario.

A lot of people in this area including myself have never seen a rattle snake in their lives. Being aware that they are there is a huge step in preventing accidents from ever happening. I am certain that many people that come to this area wouldn’t expect rattle snakes.

And I just can’t believe that each time someone checks in they don’t advise people that they are there, and they are protected in New York so they are making a come back. Why aren’t they advising people to be vigilant and know where to call to get help in case of an emergency?

Help at cemetery lauded To the Times of Ti:

On Thursday, August 23 the Ticonderoga Kiwanis Club awarded the prizes to the winners of the 2012 Decoy Duck Decorating Contest. Each year Kiwanis sells decoy ducks to downtown businesses to decorate according to that year's theme. The decorated ducks are judged and awarded prizes according to their theme, costume and originality. This year the theme was CARS. The winners of the contest this year are The Martin Agencies, who won a 1/2 page ad in the Times of Ti. Second place winner was Emerald's Restaurant, who won a 1/4 page ad in the Times of Ti. The third place winner was the Community Bank, who won an 1/8 page ad in the Times of Ti. Pictured below with their winning decoy duck, along with Scarlette Merfeld, are Joyce Barker and Darlene Dorsett from The Martin Agencies.

The Essex County Veterans Cemetery Board of Directors wish to thank the Essex County Highway Department, including Tony LaVigne and his Staff for the care given to the Cemetery this year.

Since "Irene," they have been busy building bridges, roads and public facilities. They still found time to mow and maintain the cemetery. We also have directional signs throughout Wadhams Road.

The lighted American Flag is also a beautiful sight at Night. Many people have commented in passing that it is “inspiring.”

To add to the appearance this summer the Elizabethtown Westport Garden Club has planted a perennial garden at the base of the sign - beautifully landscaped. Thank you ladies.

We have reached many of our goals with success with just a few left to complete. (hopefully this year). This has become an honorable memorial to all our Essex County Veterans. Thank You. God Bless America.

Author night a success To theTimes of Ti: On Sunday, Aug. 26, 2012 Literacy Volunteers of Essex /Franklin Counties held its 7th Annual August Author Address at Camp Dudley with guest speaker Dr. Colin Read.

Dr. Read spoke on the various economic factors that lead to the rise and fall of economic empires such as Great Britain, and how the United States is slowly losing its superpower title to China; the fastest growing economy in today’s world.

Dr. Read also discussed the most recent financial crisis and how fear and the lack of understanding fueled the fire that caused the meltdown. He emphasized that economic literacy and more educated, literate citizens are essential to the prevention of future economic crises.

Literacy Volunteers would like to acknowledge and thank Dr. Read for his willingness to speak and he expertise in economics. This event would not have been successful without him. We would also like to thank Camp Dudley, especially Fred Guffey and Matt Storey, for their continued support and allowing us to use Witherbee Auditorium.

‘Best Fourth’ organizers thankful; working on 2013 Sponsors, volunteers needed

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The “Best Fourth in the North” was a rousing success, according to organizers, thanks to the support of community sponsors.

The four-day July 4th celebration attracted hundreds of people to downtown Ticonderoga for a carnival, parade, concerts, bed race, road race, fireworks and more. It was planned by the “Best Fourth in the North” committee, a subcommittee of the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street partnership.

“On behalf of the ‘Best Fourth In The North’ committee we would like to thank all of the sponsors and donors for the 2012 celebration,” said Debbie Barber, committee chairwoman. “Without your dedication and support the celebration would not be possible. We appreciate the community’s support of the celebration.”

“As a newcomer to the ‘Best Fourth’ committee, I am amazed at how much a small group of dedicated volunteers has been able to accomplish,” said John Bartlett, chairman of the TMSP. “For example, the expanded fireworks display has been amazing.”

The price tag for the annual celebration is about $30,000, which includes the parade, bands for the parade, entertainment, carnival and vendors in Bicentennial Park as well as the fireworks display. The town of Ticonderoga does provide support for the celebration, but the majority of the funding is raised by the “Best Fourth in the North” committee.

All donations made to the “Best Fourth in the North” celebration are tax deductible because the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization.

Besides donations, the organizing committee is seeking volunteers for the 2013 festivities. This year about a half dozen people planned and put on the event.

“We encourage you to support the Fourth of July celebration by attending fundraisers held throughout the year, by making a donation or by volunteering some of your time to help,” Bartlett said. “We hope to make the ‘Best Fourth in the North’ even bigger and better next year and, with your help and support, we will make this a reality."

Donations for the “Best Fourth in the North” celebration can be mailed to 42 Burgoyne Road, Ticonderoga, NY. Checks should be made payable to “Best Fourth In The North” or the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership.

Sponsors and donors this summer include:

Adirondack Camp, Adirondack Waste Management, Alonzo Fireworks, Amyland Amusements, Aubuchons, Geraws Ok Sanitary, Glens Falls National Bank, Grinnell Construction, International Paper Company, Knights of Columbus Ticonderoga, Porter Land Surveying, Reale Construction, Shirts 4 you, Smittys, St. Mary’s School, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, Ticonderoga Central School, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union, Wal-Mart, John and Joanne Bartlett, Molly and David Bechard, Amy and Christopher Dostie, Pat Ida, Carolyn Malaney, Kathy Marshall, Richard and Sue Mattison, Peter and Lynne Reale and Jim Stevens.

“We also thank all those who attended fundraisers, purchased raffle tickets and made donations at the coin drop and in the park,” Barber said. “We would also like to thank

the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce for their support and dedication to the committee and celebration throughout the year. In addition the Chamber also markets the celebration locally and outside the area.”

The 2013 “Best Fourth In The North” celebration will take place July 1-4. Fundraising events being planned include Buckets Bog, a TV raffle, Fourth of July in December barbecue and basket raffle, the annual Ti High Alumni Basketball Tournament and Italian Dinner, an iPad raffle, coin drops and a softball tournament.

Ticonderoga from page 1 unemployed, according to statistics provided by Schumer ’s office.

Schumer ’s visit to International Paper included a tour of the facility. The plant employs more than 600 people, approximately 100 of which are veterans.

As Schumer negotiated steel walkways, criss-crossed pipes and mammoth machines within the infrastructure of the factory, he recalled tales of his grandfather working for a now-closed Doeskin Tissue plant in Utica.

“We don’t want to see what happened to the Doeskin plant happen here, and by making sure that energy costs stay low, I think we can pretty much guarantee that,” Schumer said.

Schumer said that the combination of the area’s natural resources and its strong workforce make for a bright future for the plant, but there is one major hurdle to overcome.

“The cost of energy is the big albatross around the neck of this plant,” Schumer said. “If we could deal with the cost of energy the future of this plant would be secure for many years to come.”

The answer, Schumer said, is to bring natural gas from Vermont to the plant.

“To get the natural gas here through a pipeline would require a combination of local, state and federal approvals,” Schumer said. “Once the plan is fully put together, I‘ll do whatever I can to see that the federal end of it is on board as well.”

Schumer applauded natural gas for being abundant, affordable and better for the environment than oil. He admitted that natural gas isn’t as clean as wind and solar power, but added that those energy sources won’t be developed enough to solve the nation’s energy needs for some time.

“Right now, the low cost of natural gas makes it very attractive,” Schumer said. “It’s much better for the environment than oil, and is the best realistic plan right now.”

WINTERIZE YOUR WAVERUNNER!

shaun@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Don Foote is putting a new spin on the classic concept of diner food.

On Aug. 24, Foote’s Port Henry Diner opened its doors to a new generation of diner goers.

The main portion of the rail car-shaped restaurant is straight off the set of Happy Days.

In fact, with its long, marble counter, shiny silver trim, row of round-topped stools, and view into the kitchen from every seat in the house, it probably looks the same as it did when it was built some 80 years ago.

But a lot has changed since then. According to Foote, who co-owns the diner with his wife, Jackie Keren, the clientele was female free in the 1930s. “When the diner was starting out they couldn’t get women to go, so they changed the name to the Miss Port Henry Diner to attract them,� Foote said. “I’m told it worked.�

These days, attracting both men and women isn’t a concern — the diner has been busy since it opened. Foote has been more focused on maintaining as much of the original feel of the diner as possible, right down to the menu.

The dĂŠcor at Foote’s matches the classic diner fare served, with a bevy of burgers and omelets and sandwiches to choose from. “I kind of wanted the food to reflect the atmosphere of the area,â€? Foote said. “It’s oldfashioned food to match an old-fashioned town.â€?

And yes, nearly everything comes with fries.

What’s different, though, is that Foote also offers an array of salads, like the tuna salad bowl and crispy chicken salad, and a lot of what is served is homemade. “The fries are homemade, and so are the soups,� Foote said. “I also bake the bread here, and I grow a lot of my own vegetables.�

To complement the never-frozen fries and fresh veggies, Foote also hand-pats his burgers and uses top round meat for his sandwiches. He also makes his own hot sauce: “Exit 30.� “I have a partner who makes the hot sauce with me,� Foote said. “We have chipotle, hot and habanera road rage, which is extra hot.�

Foote used to run the Eat N Greet Cafe in Lake Placid, and he also ran the Foote’s Rest Raodside Cafe in Port Henry.

Now, he said, he is excited to be beginning a new chapter.

In a time where some small businesses are struggling, Foote remains undaunted. The timing, he said, is actually perfect. “I think that, during hard times, this kind of food is especially popular,� Foote said. “It’s affordable, it’s fast and it tastes good.�

The diner is located at 5 St. Patrick’s Place, open Tuesday through Sunday weekly. For more information, call 546-7600, or email phdiner@gmail.com.

The restaurant will be open until 2 p.m. for breakfast and lunch and will feature American and Tex-Mex cuisine.

Moriah from page 1 “Our department is stretched thin, but so are the state police,” he added. “I’ve spoken to Capt. (John) Tibbitts and he’s told me the state police wouldn’t be able to pick up the slack if there was no Moriah police. If anything, a community our size needs more police protection, not less.”

Tibbitts is the New York State Police Zone 3 captain.

The Moriah Police Department answered 194 calls during the month of July, reported Steve Stahl, Moriah officer-in-charge.

“For a two-man department we’re very busy,” Stahl said. “Not all the calls relate to crimes, but they’re all calls they need to be handled. We get requests from other police agencies looking for information, from people with questions, from residents who want us to look at their home when they’re away. You name it and we handle it.”

Moriah’s other officer is Art Brassard.

Moriah is one of four municipal police departments in the county. The others are in Ticonderoga, Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.

“We try to be as visible as we can be,” Stahl said. “I don’t know how you measure crimes prevented, but I’m certain our presence means a lot in the community.”

Being a local department with local officers is important, too, Stahl said.

“We grew up here; we know the people here,” he said. “It’s sometimes easier for us to diffuse a situation because we know the peo-

Moriah • Times of Ti - 13

ple involved. We’re also a valuable resource for state police when they come into town because we know where to go, who to see.”

The Moriah PD also provides traffic control and security at public events, like high school football games, the annual Labor Day celebration, Champ Day and more.

Stahl believes the majority of Moriah residents want to retain the local police department.

“I think the residents of Moriah support the police department,” he said. “Nobody wants to see the police until they need them; then they want them there yesterday.”

At one time there were two police departments in the community. Moriah and the village of Port Henry combined their departments in 1990. At that time the new department had five full-time and one part-time patrolmen. Because of budget limitations the Moriah PD now has two full-time officers.

Garrison believes the money saved by eliminating the police department could be used in better ways. He suggested using half the money to improve town roads and half to hire a town manager.

“We have spent the last 30 years holding the line in this town and we have not done much looking at or planning for the future or economic growth,” he said. “Something needs to change. What we’re doing now isn’t working.”

Scozzafava doesn’t see the need for increase road spending or a town manager. He pointed out the vast majority of roads in the town are the responsibility of the state and county. A town manag-

er’s duties would be limited by the state constitution.

“This isn’t Vermont; we have a different form of government here,” Scozzafava said. “A supervisor’s duties are outlined by state law. I have to do the work outlined by the state constitution. That doesn’t leave much for a town manager. What would a town manager do? It would just be another layer of bureaucracy.”

Scozzafava agreed with Garrison that the future of the Moriah Police Department should not and will not be determined by the town board. If the community expresses interest in eliminating the department, he said, it will go to a public referendum.

“These are tough decisions,” Scozzafava said. Ultimately we have to live within our means and make do with what we have.”

Crown Point chamber gets back to work Meeting set for Sept. 11

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Summer is over and it’s back to business for the Crown Point Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber will resume meeting Tuesday, Sept. 11. The gathering will take place at 6:30 p.m. at Stoney Lonesome Bed and Breakfast.

It will be a fall pot luck dinner meeting. People can RSVP at info@stoneylonesomebb.com with what they intend to bring.

“All current and perspective business community mem-

bers are most welcomed and encouraged to attend,” said Nancy Ockrin, chamber co-chair.

Ockrin is the owner of Stoney Lonesome Bed and Breakfast.

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

The Crown Point Chamber of Commerce now has 45 members.

At the annual meeting 2011’s accomplishments were reviewed and plans developed for 2012.

“Last year flower pots on shepherd’s hooks were put up around downtown towards beautification,” Ockrin said.

“This year we are hoping to expand with even more flower stations. The chamber ’s web site (www.crownpointny.org)

is up and running. This year ’s goals include further expansion with reciprocal linking, additional pictures and a Crown Point calendar for town events.

“In 2011 the chamber purposed to be involved with the town’s regularly occurring events, like the Penfield Museum fund raisers, town board meetings and Memorial Day festivities,” Ockrin added. “This year we are hoping to initiate and sponsor some of our own events for the town, along the lines of our most recently spearheaded activity, the children’s ice fishing clinic held at Monitor Bay. Exploring town grant possibilities is on the agenda for the new year.”

The chamber was active in the grand opening celebration of the Lake Champlain Bridge in May. A chamber of commerce will not be new to Crown Point.

The community had its own chamber in 1956 and 1957.

Ground search suspended in Crown Point for missing man

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The ground search for missing Chestertown man Keith Gill has been suspended.

Aug. 27 was the last day in which state Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers performed grid searches with the state police in the Crown Point area for the missing man.

Gill, 45, was reported missing after police

found his car, a blue 1999 BMW with Pennsylvania plates, parked on Peasley Road in Crown Point on Aug. 20.

Gill was last seen at his family’s cottage on Loon Lake in Chestertown in the early morning hours of Aug. 19.

According to DEC spokesman Dave Winchell, forest rangers continued to search for evidence on Aug. 28 where Gill was last seen in Chestertown.

The investigation will continue under the Troop G State Police barracks out of Chestertown.

On Aug. 20, New York State Police received a notice that Gill’s car had been located off the road on Peasley Road.

Searchers canvased a quarter-mile radius surrounding where Gill’s car was found.

Lewis-based State Police Captain John Tibbits said as of Aug. 30, no solid leads in the investigation have been unearthed since search efforts began.

Tibbits said police still have no idea what brought Gill to the Crown Point area and after several days of searching the scene, have no indication of where Gill went after exiting the vehicle on Peasley Road.

“We are not giving up on the investigation but we are merely suspending the ground

search until there is more evidence to lead us to where we should search next,” Tibbits said.

DEC forest rangers and state police have performed grid searches, aerial searches and have searched adjacent bodies of water to no avail.

Tibbits said investigators do not believe Gill came to the area for hiking as he was not an avid outdoorsman and they do not think he knew anyone in the area.

Gill is described as being 6-foot, 1-inch with blond hair and hazel eyes, weighing about 230 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call the State Police in Lewis at 873-2750.

1-Eye Classic returning to Schroon Lake Sept. 16

Crown Point chamber gets back to work Meeting set for Sept. 11

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Summer is over and it’s back to business for the Crown Point Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber will resume meeting Tuesday, Sept. 11. The gathering will take place at 6:30 p.m. at Stoney Lonesome Bed and Breakfast.

It will be a fall pot luck dinner meeting. People can RSVP at info@stoneylonesomebb.com with what they intend to bring.

“All current and perspective business community mem-

bers are most welcomed and encouraged to attend,” said Nancy Ockrin, chamber co-chair.

Ockrin is the owner of Stoney Lonesome Bed and Breakfast.

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

The Crown Point Chamber of Commerce now has 45 members.

At the annual meeting 2011’s accomplishments were reviewed and plans developed for 2012.

“Last year flower pots on shepherd’s hooks were put up around downtown towards beautification,” Ockrin said.

“This year we are hoping to expand with even more flower stations. The chamber ’s web site (www.crownpointny.org)

is up and running. This year ’s goals include further expansion with reciprocal linking, additional pictures and a Crown Point calendar for town events.

“In 2011 the chamber purposed to be involved with the town’s regularly occurring events, like the Penfield Museum fund raisers, town board meetings and Memorial Day festivities,” Ockrin added. “This year we are hoping to initiate and sponsor some of our own events for the town, along the lines of our most recently spearheaded activity, the children’s ice fishing clinic held at Monitor Bay. Exploring town grant possibilities is on the agenda for the new year.”

The chamber was active in the grand opening celebration of the Lake Champlain Bridge in May. A chamber of commerce will not be new to Crown Point.

The community had its own chamber in 1956 and 1957.

Ground search suspended in Crown Point for missing man

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The ground search for missing Chestertown man Keith Gill has been suspended.

Aug. 27 was the last day in which state Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers performed grid searches with the state police in the Crown Point area for the missing man.

Gill, 45, was reported missing after police

found his car, a blue 1999 BMW with Pennsylvania plates, parked on Peasley Road in Crown Point on Aug. 20.

Gill was last seen at his family’s cottage on Loon Lake in Chestertown in the early morning hours of Aug. 19.

According to DEC spokesman Dave Winchell, forest rangers continued to search for evidence on Aug. 28 where Gill was last seen in Chestertown.

The investigation will continue under the Troop G State Police barracks out of Chestertown.

On Aug. 20, New York State Police received a notice that Gill’s car had been located off the road on Peasley Road.

Searchers canvased a quarter-mile radius surrounding where Gill’s car was found.

Lewis-based State Police Captain John Tibbits said as of Aug. 30, no solid leads in the investigation have been unearthed since search efforts began.

Tibbits said police still have no idea what brought Gill to the Crown Point area and after several days of searching the scene, have no indication of where Gill went after exiting the vehicle on Peasley Road.

“We are not giving up on the investigation but we are merely suspending the ground

search until there is more evidence to lead us to where we should search next,” Tibbits said.

DEC forest rangers and state police have performed grid searches, aerial searches and have searched adjacent bodies of water to no avail.

Tibbits said investigators do not believe Gill came to the area for hiking as he was not an avid outdoorsman and they do not think he knew anyone in the area.

Gill is described as being 6-foot, 1-inch with blond hair and hazel eyes, weighing about 230 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call the State Police in Lewis at 873-2750.

September 8, 2012 In a sense, we don’t really angle to catch fish; we head off to the waters or the woods to lose the ordinary, orderliness of our everyday existence, and as a means to escape civilization.

The excitement of bringing a fish to the net lies in the curiosity of what awaits at the end of the line. The fight allows us to discover the beauty of nature and to enjoy the personal satisfaction of deceiving a wild prey with an artificial offering.

Fish catch the angler, as much as we catch them, and as I’ve often said, “It’s not the size of a fish that matters, rather it’s the length of its tale.”

Common sense and common courtesy

A

few years back, while enjoying a shore lunch along the banks of the Ausable River with an old friend, we watched a group of fellow anglers surround the same small, pool we had been fishing earlier in the morning.

The pool had been quite productive and we took several nice fish, before moving on. But as the scene unfolded, it became apparent the new group was intent on sticking around for a while.

My old friend, the late Fran Betters, would have described the group as a “New Jersey Firing Squad,” as they surrounded the pool shoulder to shoulder, and began flinging lines all in the same direction.

They kept at it unabated, and while a few fish were actually taken in the opening minutes of the angling assault; they were soon off feed.

“Look at that,” my buddy commented, “You know the problem with fishermen today?” He didn’t wait for my answer, before declaring, “Nobody smokes anymore!”

I looked at him incredulously, and asked, “What the hell does smoking have to do with trout fishing.”

“Well, in my day,” he replied, “We’d fish a pool like that for a while, maybe catch a few fish, and then we’d take a break to have a cigarette, or smoke a pipe.”

He continued, “It gave us a chance to regroup and recoup, but it also rested the pool and allowed the fish to calm down.”

“If other anglers came along, they would have had the courtesy and respect to understand that we were just ‘resting the pool,’ and he’d likely move on.

“Nowadays, it seems that fishing has become an endurance race, rather than the relaxing pursuit it once was.”

Pointing to the pool, he declared, “Those guys should slow down the pace, and move on. Those fish are now too spooked

to bother with.”

I learned a valuable lesson, to take the time to relax, and don’t spook the trout. But most of all, his story served as a reminder of why we go outdoors in the first place.

We do it in order to escape, to lose ourselves in the moment and to find a bit of our past, in the process. Despite the proliferation of multi-million dollar, bass fishing tournaments, and the growing popularity of catch and release flyfishing contests, such as our own Ausable Two Fly competition; true angling competition should always remain a contest between an angler and his quarry, rather than angler versus angler.

Angling is an extension of our past existence, when men stalked fish and game for subsistence, rather than for sport.

But as practiced in modern times, there are elements of our past that become evident through the thrill of the hunt, the stalk, and finally the take.

Although, I find no thrill in the act of actually killing a fish, I do take great pleasure in angling for them. I also enjoy the process of attempting to deceive their predatory instinct with an artificial fly or lure.

Don’t get me wrong, I also love to eat fish, and I often keep a few. But the success of my time on the water is not measured by the quantity of fish in my creel. Rather, it is measured by the pleasures of getting lost in the moment, of enjoying the total scene and being able to forget any lingering cares or concerns of the day.

Free health screening available to hunters ELIZABETHTOWN — The annual Hunters’ Health Screening will take place at Elizabethtown Community Hospital on Tuesday, Sept. 18 from 4 – 6 pm. This is an opportunity for hunters to receive a basic health evaluation at no cost.

This free health screening will allow hunters the opportunity to have a physical that will assess their overall health before they set out into the woods to tag that trophy buck. Results will be reviewed by a physician that evening; and an opportunity for consultation will follow.

The health clinic will assess blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and oxygen levels. Hospital staff will also check vision, height and weight, providing an overall health picture. Participants will also have an EKG reading taken, an important test that measures heart health. A team of nurses and lab staff, led

by Dr. Moisan, will conduct the health screening.

Hunter, Bowhunter education classes planned MORIAH — There will be a hunter education class at Moriah Central School Sept. 18-20.

Kolodze at 546-8290 or Dennis Mullen at 942-6563 for additional information.

Moriah rolls to season-opening win Ticonderoga falls on gridiron Moriah got the 2012 football season off to a rousing start, beating Plattsburgh, 39-12, in its Champlain Valley Athletic Conference opener Aug. 31.

Ticonderoga struggled in its first game, dropping a 22-8 decision to Beekmantown Sept. 1.

Vikings roll Moriah jumped to a 39-0 lead before coasting the victory for Coach Don Tesar.

Quarterback Cole Gaddor and running back Cameron Wright had big games for the Vikings. Each scored two touchdowns. Wright ran for 126 yards on 15 carries and Gaddor ran for 17 yards and threw for 39 more.

Moriah’s big uglies dominated the game, opening holes as the Vikings ran for 203 yards.

The locals recovered a Plattsburgh fumble on the opening kick off and scored three plays later as Gaddor snuck into the end zone from a yard away.

The Viking defense crushed Plattsburgh on the next possession, setting up the offense with a short field.

Gaddor then led the Vikings on a 24-yard drive, capping it with another quarterback sneak for a TD. Arto Nadeau, who ran for 57 yards in the game, scored on a 13-yard gallop as Moriah extended its lead to 19-0.

Wright then broke free for scoring runs of 60 and 4 yards. Moriah led 32-0 at the half.

Jessup Calkins returned the second half kick off 78 yards for another Viking TD and Coach Tesar called off the dogs.

Sentinels fall Beekmantown proved too big and too strong for Ticonderoga. The Eagles held Ti to 99 yards rushing on 31 attempts — including throttling Ti stalwart Miles Austin. Austin gained just 15 yards on seven carries in the contest.

On offense Beekmantown’s line allowed Eagle backs to run for 212 yards.

Zachary Myers connected with Haydin Fountain on a 10-yard scoring pass to put Beekmantown on top, 6-0, in the first quarter. The conversion made it 8-0.

Dustin Pickering, who ran for 128 yards, extended the Eagle advantage to 15-0 with a yard scoring run before Myers and Fountain hooked up again, this time from 14 yards. Beekmantown led 22-0 at the intermission.

Ticonderoga’s defense found its legs in the second half, holding Beekmantown scoreless.

Quarterback Mike Graney tried to rally the Sentinels. Under constant pressure, he completed 7-of-19 passes for 109 yards.

Ti finally got on the scoreboard in the final quarter after recovering a Beekmantown fumble. Tanner Wright scored from 2 yards out for the Sentinels.

Race to raise money for developmental disabilities

By Shaun Kittle shaun@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — On Sept. 15, competitors will swim, bike and run to raise money for people with developmental disabilities.

The 14th annual Mountain Lake Services Foundation Triathlon will begin at 9 a.m. at North Country Camps on Augur Lake in Keeseville.

Mountain Lake Services is hosting the event.

“Our goal is to ensure the quality of services in Clinton County for individuals with developmental disabilities,” said Elizabeth Rutkowski, assistant director of communications and staff relations at Mountain Lake Services.

The organization works to support families

in need and also has a scholarship program for students pursuing studies in human services.

The triathlon will offer two levels of difficulty — iron and recreational — in paddling, running and biking.

The paddle, which takes place on Augur Lake, is a 3.5-mile loop at the iron level and is 1.5 miles for recreational entrants.

Similarly, the run is 5.5 miles at the iron level and 2.5 miles at the recreational level and the bicycling course is 20 miles at the iron level and 14 miles at the recreational level.

Individuals may enter the event, and teams may contain two to four people.

Registration on the day of the event will begin at 8 a.m. at Camp Whippoorwill on Frontage Road in Keeseville, and the race will begin at 9 a.m.

Pre-registration is $20 for individuals and $60 for teams. Registration the day of the event is $25 for individuals and $75 for teams.

To register, call (518) 546-3051 ext. 314 or download a registration form at mountainlakeservices.org.
