CROWN POINT — The battle against cancer can be long and demanding. Those same traits can be found in the Relay for Life.

The Relay for Life of Crown Point will be held Oct. 6 and 7 at Crown Point Central School. With 21 teams, 149 participants and $10,138 already committed, organizers are confident they’ll have a successful event. The goal is to have 35 teams.

The event will feature teams walking on a track at the school from 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, to 7 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 7. Walkers raise money — through pledges, find-raising events and other activities — to be donated to the American Cancer Society.

“It’s really a powerful wonderful event,” said Anita Johnson, event co-chair along with Carrie Pertak.

‘Night at the Museum’ to return to Ti’s Hancock House Event slated for Sept. 27 at

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga’s Hancock House will come alive during the second annual “Night at the Museum.”

Sponsored by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce and the Ticonderoga Historical Society, the event will be held Thursday, Sept. 27, at 6 p.m. The Hancock House is located at 6 Moses Circle.

“Join us for a jam-packed and fun-filled evening to benefit the historical society and the chamber of commerce,” June Curtis, Ticonderoga Historical Society coordinator, said.

“Night at the Museum” will feature hor d’oeuvres, sweet treats, wine, music, a scavenger hunt, games of chance, a silent auction, history lessons, a special exhibit of the USS Ticonderoga and more.

Admission is $20 a person or $30 a couple.

The chamber and historical society are seeking additional sponsors for the event. Eddie’s Restaurant has signed on.

“Based on the success of last year ’s event, Eddie’s Restaurant is looking forward to partnering with the chamber and the historical society to host the second annual ‘Night At The Museum’,” said Beth Iuliano, the owner of Eddie’s and a historical society board member. “We are happy to be part of this event and to be working closely with these two wonderful organizations.”

For more information or to reserve a ticket contact the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce at 585-6619 or the Ticonderoga Historical Society at 585-7868.

The Hancock House, which serves as home to the Ticon-

deroga Historical Society, was a gift to The New York State Historical Association from native son and philanthropist Horace Moses.

Located at the Liberty Monument at the intersection of Wicker and Montcalm streets, it is also home to exhibits highlighting community history.

Moses built the house as a repository for the purpose of perpetuating “American Traditions in History and the Fine Arts,” and it served in this capacity for many years as the NYSHA “Headquarters House,” although it can no longer claim this title. This imposing Georgian mansion is a replica of Thomas Hancock’s (uncle to John Hancock) Beacon Hill residence built in 1737 and 1741, and Ticonderoga’s Hancock House will host the second annual “Night at the Museum.” Sponsored demolished in 1863. by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce and the Ticonderoga Historical Society, the The Hancock House Museum and Re- event will be held Thursday, Sept. 27, at 6 p.m. From left are: June Curtis, Ticonderoga Historisearch Library was dedicated in 1926. cal Society coordinator; Matt Courtright, chamber executive director; and Beth Iuliano, the ownThe Ticonderoga Historical Society to- er of Eddie’s Restaurant and a historical society board member. day manages the building as a regional draw area visitors, assists area organizations with their museum and reference library.

Bicentennial Park to host footrace in Ti Sept. 22

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Footrace at the Falls will be contested in Ticonderoga’s Bicentennial Park Saturday, Sept. 22.

The event, sponsored by the LaChute Road Runners Club, replaces the Footrace at Fort Ticonderoga. The race is being moved to downtown Ti this fall after seven years at the fort.

The 5-kilometer cross country run will begin at 10 a.m. It will be followed by a free children’s race at 10:30 a.m. All children will receive a free certificate for an ice cream at the Wind Chill Factory. Parents must sign a waiver for each child running.

Registration for both races will be at the Ticonderoga Elks lodge at 5 Tower Avenue 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Restrooms and parking will be available at the Elks lodge.

Entry fee for the 5K race is $15 for students age 18 and younger, $20 for adults in advance and $22 for adults on race day. Checks can be made payable to the LaChute Road Runners.

The first 100 runners to register will receive a T shirt.

Awards will be presented to the top three finishers in each age group in the 5K. For information call Matt Karkoski at 5857206, Email mhski@verizon.net or go online at www.lachute.us “We promise to have another exciting day with a scenic 5K cross country course that runs along the LaChute River Falls, crosses a covered bridge and finishes to music in front of a grandstand,” said Jeff Greer, a race organizer.

“Also new this year, all proceeds will now benefit the Duane Crammond Memorial Fund. This fund will help support all of the members of the Ticonderoga (High School) cross country and track teams.”

The past seven years proceeds from the race were used to fund the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship. That $1,000 annual scholarship is now fully funded and will continue to be awarded. Proceeds from future races will be used to finance team competitions, equipment, transportation and other needs associated with the local school running program.

Crammond died in a car accident in 2005 at age 24.

Crammond, the valedictorian of the Ti High Class of 1999, was a cross country and track champion in high school. He went on to become an honor student at RPI, where he majored in engineering and was captain of the college’s cross country team. He was also the leading distance runner on RPI’s indoor and outdoor track teams.

After graduation from college, Crammond dominated local races. In 2003 he won the Montcalm Mile in Ticonderoga and the Race the Train event in North Creek. He was third in the Whiteface Uphill Run in Wilmington, fourth in the Prospect Mountain Road Race in Lake George and fifth in the Lake George to Bolton Adirondack Distance Run. He capped that season by winning the Adirondack Marathon in Schroon Lake.

Difficult times: Difficult decisions

A

s local school boards are constantly searching for areas to make financial cuts with the minimalist effect on student curriculum, more schools should consider consolidation.

Two questions that must be asked when considering consolidation are: Will there be noticeable financial savings and can the districts maintain a quality education?

Consolidation, though not always an ideal aspect for some, is a logical consideration during tough economic times.

The budget season was difficult for districts last year and districts will definitely be facing a similar plight this year.

Pooling resources doesn’t always require cutting positions to make budget goals. Consolidating space, equipment and practice space for student athletes and musicians would be utilizing what schools already have while reaping the benefits of cost savings, and keeping the curriculum intact.

Consolidation is never an easy decision. Schools are the center of our local communities, and taking that away is always controversial. But dwindling class sizes and burgeoning property taxes demand that school officials consider these difficult options.

Take Putnam Central School for example, which had 35 children enrolled in its school at the end of the 2011-2012 school year. Would it make better financial sense to divide these students between Whitehall and Ticonderoga? Or does a school like Putnam offer a more individualized education?

Keeping student needs in the forefront is the first priority when talking about consolidation or making cuts in any district. Consolidating an entire school district could also have major consequences for the small community of Putnam. The parents and students could feel detached, and it would likely create longer commutes to school and extra-curricular activities, with children feeling less attached to their hometown.

Decisions to consolidate districts are best made on an individual, case-by-case basis —what’s best for Plattsburgh City

Schools will not always be best for Minerva-Newcomb Central School. Some districts in the area have growing enrollments and their resources, administration team and facilities are being used to capacity, while other schools might benefit from each other’s strengths.

Consolidation of administrative offices might be more seamless. School superintendent positions could be merged through attrition as officials retire or resign.

Another area that should be considered is the consolidation of sports teams.

Some local schools have such low student numbers that they cannot field a team in every available sport. When they can, they often are not competitive, or young athletes might not be afforded the rest they need during a game because of a lack of substitutes.

This season alone, Crown Point Central School’s girls soccer team, with just 11 players, was nearly unable to begin the season. The team was able to make it but it was right down to the last minute.

The girls in Schroon Lake were in a similar situation.

Consolidating sports teams would save districts money on equipment and coaching staff, while utilizing a shared field would create savings and bring strong athletes together to work hard and encourage competitiveness and endurance.

Shared services could offer an alternative to cutting programs in a school, while keeping staff on the payrolls and saving taxpayer dollars.

Difficult times demand difficult decisions. As school officials enter another demanding budget season, they must take a long look at merging as many resources as possible. Nothing should be left off the table — not even studying the financial benefits of merging with a nearby district.

Just the facts ... please N

ow that we’ve put the two national political party’s conventions behind us, we can focus on the next big events — the upcoming debates. I hope you did as I did and watched the conventions on C-SPAN, where the action can be viewed live, without commercial interruption or biased commentary. C-SPAN allows viewers to draw their own conclusions by allowing them to hear and watch what they want.

Modern-day conventions are designed to be marketing events instead of a wide-open process. Recognizing that each side plays heavily to their member base, I doubt either side did much to sway a previously committed voter. I also doubt many uncommitted voters will make a decision until closer to Election Day. For those who’ve made up their minds, I’m sure the rest of this campaign season will reinforce why their vote will be cast for their candidate. The spin plays to their heart, not their reason.

Based on statistics, the vast majority of us have already made up our minds on which candidate we’re going to vote for. It is possible that voters could be swayed either way by the upcoming coverage, candidate debates, or some national event or revelation that could create a major shift in either direction, though.

More than anything we owe it to ourselves, the nation and future generations to do more than accept the campaign rhetoric, and that especially goes for those who are firmly committed. Vice President Joe Biden recently challenged the press to “fact check” his statements. I think that’s excellent advice for each of us to follow.

A good web site is factcheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The site offers a quiz of the week, specific articles on the many speeches, Whoppers of 2012, a Mailbag feature that allows an opportunity for the public to present their points of contention with the candidates, the parties and even question the clarifications made by Fact Check. Another important feature is called Viral Spiral, which is designed to put an end to the many inaccurate, and sometimes very old, internet emails that never seem to die in cyberspace.

If you have an email account you undoubtedly know someone who regularly sends you one of these pieces. They all sound believable, but all too often the information is non-factual and attributed to reliable sources who didn’t produce the information, but that the sender, without checking, assumed was reliable and accurate because it reinforces what they want to believe.

Another useful site that should be consulted is opensecrets.org, sponsored by The Center for Responsive Politics. Opensecrets.org claims to be a nonpartisan guide to money's influence on U.S. elections and public policy. They encourage journalists, activists, students and any other interested citizens to use the free site to shine light on the govern-

ment and those who wish to use it for their benefit. Opensecrets.org claims to be the most comprehensive resource for federal campaign Dan Alexander Thoughts from contributions, lobbying Behind the Pressline data and analysis available anywhere. They provide their findings to other organizations and news media, and the Center's exclusive data powers their online features, which track money in politics.

The Center relies on financial support from a combination of foundation grants, individual contributions and income earned from custom research and licensing data for commercial use. The Center accepts no contributions from businesses, labor unions or trade associations.

Yet another useful site is publicintegrity.org, sponsored by the Center for Public Integrity. The Center for Public Integrity was founded in 1989 by Charles Lewis and claims to be one of the nation’s oldest and largest nonpartisan, nonprofit news organizations. Their mission is to enhance democracy by revealing abuses of power, corruption and betrayal of trust by powerful public and private institutions.

Inaccurate and outright twisting of the truth is at the root of so many decisions people are making today. The Media, Internet and Social Media are full of inaccurate statements and information. It’s no wonder the political machines have become so skilled at spinning this stuff. If we continue to accept what we’re told without qualifying the information, we are the ones at fault for the direction this country takes. We’ve been told by both parties and each presidential and vice presidential candidate how important this election is to the future direction of the country. Both sides believe there have never been such diverse differences between the two sides and it’s up to us to ultimately decide. I urge each of us to do our homework before casting a vote. Given the current state of the country we need to hold these candidates and their parties accountable for their statements and actions. Despite what your heart and personal convictions tell you to believe, we owe it to future generations, if not ourselves, to know where the truth stops and the spin begins.

Many of you may take the position that since both sides employ these tactics, what difference does it really make? Well, my comeback is simple: Until we know the real truth we will never be able to put this country on the right path. If we can’t depend on our elected officials we have no choice but to take matters into our own hands and demand they change their ways. If we don’t do that, then we deserve exactly what we’re getting.

Opinion • Times of Ti - 7

Letters to the Editor

Thank you, Mr. Eastwood To the Times of Ti: Why would the U.S. president attempt to diminish and insult those responsible for our economy? “You didn’t build that.” he argued. “Someone else made that happen.”

Three and a half years have dragged on and we are still floundering economically.

The debt clock has hit $16 trillion, unemployment has stayed above 8 percent for 43 consecutive months, and 23 million people are unemployed. Someone please knock the golf clubs out of his hands. Is Barack Obama someone we want to entrust our economy with for another four years? No! He hasn’t earned it.

Our founding fathers were correct in their belief that individuals had control of their own destiny. If they could dream it, they could make it happen. Only in America! The

entrepreneurial spirit helped thrust this nation into the forefront of mankind's history.

No longer did a populace have to depend on the state for its living or sustenance.

However, this president is more worried about social justice; which means he wants to penalize the “makers” to give more to the “takers.” That is absolutely the wrong concept. Realistically, it’s unsustainable and dangerous. But in the last four decades the advocates for socialism and liberalism have broke through like a bunch of zits that have finally popped! Surely it will be a messy outcome.

“Hope & Change” didn’t work. I’m confident we have learned our lesson and we will vote for mature leadership this time around.

The best advice I heard during the conventions came from a great American who explained in simple terms, “When somebody does not do the job, we’ve gotta let him go.”

Thank you Mr. Eastwood.

Fort leadership praised

Wonderful neighbors To the Times of Ti:

To the Times of Ti: As a resident of Ticonderoga, I am very excited about the changes and expansion of programs that Fort Ticonderoga now offers.

A visit to the fort any day of the week provides a living history to be enjoyed by all visitors. There are more special programs and events offered than ever before. In addition, when the fort is closed, there are programs open to the public which are wonderful opportunities for everyone to participate.

The new Fort Ticonderoga leadership has risen to confront the challenges it was dealt a few years ago. Fort Ticonderoga is self-reliant. It receives little or no funding from state, federal or local governments. The fort is almost entirely dependent on the monies it receives through admissions, programs and charitable contributions.

I congratulate Beth Hill and the Fort Ticonderoga board of trustees for their continuing energy and excitement in support of our local treasure. Fort Ticonderoga once helped to shape a region and a country. We should all be proud and supportive of our local historical site.

Marianne Bartlett Ticonderoga

Submit letters to the editor to Fred Herbst at fred@denpubs.com

In the little town of Crown Point, our widowed mother died on a cold, snowy day in December 2000. Since all five siblings lived far away, two in other states, we decided to wait until after Christmas to have the memorial service.

We also had to clean out the farmhouse where she had lived for 60-plus years.

One of our dearest neighbors, Bill Hunsdon, anonymously became caretaker of the monthlong empty farmhouse. He found that the water pipes coming from a mountain spring had frozen due to frigid weather and lack of usage.

He contacted another neighbor, friend and classmate, Hugh Gunnison, and the two of them decided to take action. They obtained all available 55-gallon plastic containers and placed them in the farmhouse basement. Hugh brought a water-filled tanker truck from his apple orchard and somehow filled all basement containers which they connected to the pump and voila, running water.

After the service, 55-60 friends and family gathered at the farmhouse. Bill had snowplowed the large driveway for the many cars to use. Food, lots of food, was given by other dear neighbors. All the dishes, pots and pans had to be washed, plus, of course, people needed to use the facilities. No one ever knew that there was a water problem because of these two wonderful friends. No small favor!

The immediate families stayed for several days cleaning to make ready to put the farm on the market to sell. Every day, the tanker truck would arrive, park behind the house in the deep snow, and the men would refill all the water containers. Both men refused any money. They “did this for Elsie.”

The word neighbor is a verb as well as a noun.

Our family will forever remember our wonderful neighbors and their generosity. It would have been a complete disaster without all they did. Words cannot express our sincere thoughts.

Thanks, Guys!

Lake George boat regulations mulled Effort aimed at preventing invasive species

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Boating on Lake George could be more complicated and more expensive next summer.

The Lake George Park Commission is considering regulations to fight the spread of invasive species in the lake — regulations that could include mandatory decontamination of boats prior to launching, designated hours at public launches and new fees.

“There are still a lot of questions to be answered,” David Wick, executive director of the LGPC, said during a meeting of the group’s Aquatic Invasive Species Committee in Ticonderoga Sept. 7. “No decisions have been made. We’re meeting with people and exploring options.”

Invasive species are reaching the lake, Wick said, from boats that have been in other bodies of water and carry the unwanted hitchhikers.

The committee is meeting every two weeks in communities around the lake as it prepares to make recommendations on how to best deal with the problem of invasive species. Wick expects the LGPC to decide on possible regulations this fall and implement them in 2013.

“We want to make it (lake access) as easy as possible, especially for those who regularly use Lake George,” said Dean Cook of Ticonderoga, a LGPC commissioner. “The idea is to protect the lake from invasive species coming from other lakes. This is serious business.”

Wick said the LGPC has four options: — It can do nothing.

— It can ask boaters to participate in voluntary inspections.

— It can require mandatory inspection and decontamination of boats.

— It can rely on self-certification by boaters themselves.

Mandatory inspection and decontamination of boats is the best defense against invasive species, Wick said, but it would be a major change and expense.

There are 103 boat access points, most private, on Lake George, Wick said. Those launches would have to regulated. Public launches would include decontamination units to clean boats. Those launches would only be open certain hours. The LGPC would also need to purchase the decontamination equipment and hire employees to man each launch. A single permanent decontamination unit can cost $250,000, Wick said.

The decontamination process takes 35-40 minutes, Wick said.

“It’s an involved process,” he said. “If it’s just he hull it’s not a big deal. But you need

Delivery Always Available

“If we don’t do something, the outcome is very clear,” Wick said. “We’re trying not to impact short-term business interests while protecting the long-term health of the lake.”

Wick and Cook repeatedly referred to Lake Tahoe, Calif., where asian clams have over-run the lake. They pointed to a 2009 Lake Tahoe study that estimated invasive species are costing the local economy $20 million annually.

Lake George currently has five invasive species in its waters— asian clam, eurasian milfoil, zebra mussels, curlyleaf pondweed and spiny waterflea. The LGPC spends more than $1 million a year to manage and eradicate invasive invasive species.

Cook stressed the expense of any invasive species prevention program is money well spent.

“It’s much cheaper to keep invasives out that to remove them,” Cook said.

Wick admitted no program will be 100 percent successful in the fight against invasive species. He believes the mandatory inspection and decontamination can eliminate 98 percent of invasive species from reaching Lake George.

The LGPC proposals for fighting invasive species are outlines on the agency’s website, www.lgpc.state.ny.us “There’s no smoke or mirrors,” Wick said.

“All the information has been made available to the public. We’ve had meetings like this; it’s on our website.

“At the end of the day the (LGPC) commissioners will make a decision,” he added.

to get into all the nooks and crannies of the engine and boat to do a complete job.”

Dave Iuliano, a Ticonderoga town board member, asked if decontamination would be practical on a busy weekend or during a fishing tournament when as many as 100 boats are waiting to get into the lake.

Cook said in the case of fishing tournaments boats could be decontaminated the night before. No one offered any idea how boat launch traffic would flow during other periods.

Wick said the LGPC will ask the state to pay for an invasive species program, but acknowledged the cost of the decontaminated program would likely be borne by boaters, who would pay a fee when launching.

“There is no program in place; we’re still considering options,” Wick stressed to the two dozen people at the Ticonderoga meeting. “No one wants to diminish the recreational capacity of Lake George. We’re asking for feedback on these options.”

Wick said the committee had held three meetings on the invasive species problem.

The majority of people attending those meetings support the mandatory inspection and decontamination option, he said.

Iuliano expressed concern the possible regulations could discourage tourism and hurt the local economy.

“I understand the importance of protecting Lake George,” he said, “but we’ve built our communities around tourism. This will have a major impact.”

Wick said the LGPC is aware of possible impacts on tourism, but said the long-term problem may be much worse.

Fort Ti board, staff support campaign

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The 2012 Fort Ticonderoga fund raising campaign is off to a rousing start, thanks to trustees and senior staff.

The fort’s board of trustees and administration have contributed $412,497 to the fund raising effort — more than half of the campaign’s $650,000 goal.

“This is truly a remarkable achievement and reflects a compelling endorsement of the fort today,” said Sandy Morhouse, campaign chairman and chairman-elect of the fort board of trustees. “We still have work to do to reach our $650,000 goal, but this gives us a tremendous head start and should stand as an important example for all those whom we now expect to contact.”

The announcement came as Fort Ticonderoga kicks of its “public phase” of the fund drive. Volunteer solicitors, “FORT-ifier,” are now seeking further support. Student callers, in collaboration with the University of Vermont’s “Chatty Cat” program, will make fund raising calls and Fort Ticondero-

ga will mail an appeal to the community.

“Our trustees have set an example that I hope everyone in our community will take to heart,” said Peter Paine, board of trustees chairman. “In doing so, they will join us in ensuring that the fund sets a new record by Dec. 31. That will result in ensuring Fort Ticonderoga’s financial stability and, in turn, help make it an ever more important and meaningful part of our community.”

Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga president and executive director, said the support demonstrated by trustees and senior staff is gratifying.

“It is so encouraging to have this wonderfully generous support from those most closely involved in our work,” Hill said.

“Without such reliable and growing annual giving, we could not operate the fort or confidently plan for its future.”

Open to the public since 1909, Fort Ticonderoga is the earliest restoration of its kind in the United States. It preserves North America’s largest 18th-century artillery collection, 2,000 acres of historic landscape on Lake Champlain and the Carillon Battlefield, the largest series of untouched 18thcentury earthworks surviving in North America.

Ti street art auction planned

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The third annual Ticonderoga street art project will conclude with an auction.

The art will be auctioned Thursday, Sept. 20 at the Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus. People are preview the art beginning at 5:30 p.m. There will be music by Nelson Shapiro and free appetizers at 6 p.m. with a cash bar. The auction will commence at 7 p.m. with professional auctioneer Rick Harker, the owner of Mountain Time Furniture.

Sponsored by the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership, this year’s street art theme is “For the Birds.” Community members and organizations purchased bird houses, which they decorated and will auction to benefit the TMSP. “We would like to extend an invitation to the community to attend this lively auction and fundraiser,” said John Bartlett, TMSP chairman. “The proceeds of the auction will be used by TMSP for continuing streetscape improvements along the Montcalm Street corridor. This year, we are hoping to re-light the lower falls of the LaChute River at Bicentennial Park.”

Most of the uniquely-decorated birdhouses are inside storefront windows.Some are outside on display.

“We invite everyone to stroll along Montcalm Street to check out the wonderful creativity of this year’s artists and, while you are there, stop in your favorite stores and restaurants,” Bartlett said.

“This event would not be possible without the incredible help of our sponsors, artists and local businesses who have supported the street-art program.”

This year’s sponsors and locations include: Fort Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga Heritage Museum, Mountain Lakes Services, Ti Arts (Community Building), Deb Malaney (Community Building), Jay’s Sunoco, Glens Falls National Bank, Burleigh Luncheonette, Ticonderoga Alumni Association (Amerigas), Doug and Barb Cossey (Amerigas), Community Bank, Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership (Community Bank), Rathbun’s Jewelers, PRIDE of Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, Mountain Time Furniture, LaChute Road Runners (Black Watch Library), Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, Montcalm Manor, Glens Falls National Bank (GFNB drive thur), Ticonderoga Kiwanis (Rite Aid), Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union, Mark Russell and Ticonderoga Country Club.

“Be sure to pick out your favorite of the decorated bird houses,” Bartlett said. “There are three different styles of birdhouses to choose from. These were hand-crafted by George DeMers and John Sprague. This year’s artists have done an outstanding job and you will enjoy their creativity.”

MORIAH — Four local healthcare organizations have been approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to participate in an initiative designed to help patients covered

by Medicare get better faster after they are discharged from the hospital.

The Adirondack Health Institute, Glens Falls Hospital, Hudson Headwaters Health Network and Washington County CARES are all part of the North Eastern New York Community-based Care Transitions Program, a consortium of 16 upstate New York hospitals and healthcare organizations which serve people in 10 counties from the Vermont and Canadian borders south and west to Schenectady and Amsterdam.

Hudson Headwaters operates clinics in Ticonderoga, Moriah and Schroon Lake.

The CCTP is an initiative of the Partnership for Patients, a nationwide public-private partnership launched in April 2011 that aims to cut preventable errors in hospitals by 40 percent and reduce preventable hospital readmissions by 20 percent over a three-year period. CCTP’s goals are to reduce hospital readmissions, test sustainable funding streams for care transition services, maintain or improve quality of care, and document measurable savings to the Medicare program.

“Transitions care is a big part of our patient-centered approach,” said John Rugge, MD, CEO of Hudson Headwaters Health Network. “We can reduce hospital readmissions for our elderly patients if we are able to provide timely follow-up after a hospital stay. This is especially important for patients with chronic diseases, who may quickly find themselves back in the hospital if they're not given the care and tools to manage their conditions.”

People who are enrolled in traditional Medicare fee-for-service and are at particular risk of problems after being discharged, such as people with heart conditions or patients who have been in and out of the hospital before, will be eligible to receive the service.

If a patient decides to participate, before they leave the hospital a nurse will help plan the care they'll need when they get home. Then, soon after they get home a nurse or a “health coach” will visit the patient to be sure that they have the right medications and support. Nurses and coaches will be available to answer questions by telephone, and will make follow-up calls and visits.

There will be no charge for patients to participate, as costs will be paid by Medicare and the participating hospitals and healthcare organizations. The program will operate locally for two years during which the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will determine if it meets its goals of keeping people healthy and avoiding unnecessary hospital stays. Participation in CCTP may be extended on an annual basis for the remaining three years of the program if performance targets are met.

The lead agency for the regional consortium is the Visiting Nurse Service of Schenectady and Saratoga Counties, Inc. The other participating organizations are Adirondack Medical Center, Alice Hyde Medical Center, Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, Elizabethtown Community Hospital, Ellis Medicine, Glens Falls Hospital, Moses Ludington Hospital, Nathan Littauer Hospital, St. Mary’s Healthcare (Amsterdam), Saratoga Hospital, Adirondack Health Institute, Community Health Center, High Peaks Hospice, Saratoga County Office for the Aging and Washington County CARES.

Schroon Lake • Times of Ti - 17

Adirondack Marathon returns to Schroon Adk Distance Festival Sept. 22-23

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — More than 1,500 runners are expected to take part in this fall’s Adirondack Marathon Distance Festival.

More than 1,200 runners are expected to toe the line in the half marathon, marathon and marathon relay Sunday, Sept. 25, in Schroon Lake.

The marathon and half marathon are part of the Adirondack Distance Festival. The distance festival also includes 5 and 10kilometer road races in Chestertown Saturday, Sept. 23.

Taking part in the weekend festivities will be Jeff Dengate, senior editor of shoes & gear for Runner's World Magazine. He will speak at race expo seminar at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22, at Schroon Lake Central School.

Dengate, who has family living in Schroon Lake, is a veteran of 17 marathons with a personal best of 2 hours, 54 minutes. He and has run the last four Adirondack Marathons and often trains along the course.

Marathoners can join Dengate on the course as he will be a pace leader with a finish time of 3:45.

Past races have attracted runners from Japan, United Kingdom, Egypt, Alaska, California, Oregon and a host of other locales.

The marathon has been recommended by Runner ’s World magazine as one of “Eight Great Events to Kick Off the Fall Racing Season.” The race was also listed in the book From Fairbanks to Boston, 50 Great U.S. Marathons as one of the top 50 races in

the country. Prevention Magazine listed the Schroon race as one of the best “walker-friendly” events in the country.

The marathon, 26 miles, 385 yards, will start at 9 a.m. on Main Street in Schroon Lake. The single loop course circumnavigates Schroon Lake over challenging forest roads with lakeside views until it finishes back at the Schroon Lake town beach.

There is also a marathon relay —one for two-person teams and another for four-person teams — that gets under way at 9 a.m.

People who wish to walk the marathon course can get started at 7 a.m. The course will remain open until 3 p.m.

For the second year the marathon will offer “pace bears.” The “pace bears,” experienced runners who will help guide other competitors through the course at a specific pace, get their name from the marathon’s distinctive awards — carved wooden Adirondack Bears awarded to overall winners.

Only two marathons in the New England Region offer pacer services to their participants.

“Pace bear” profiles are available online at www.adirondackmarathon.org “Pace bears” are available beginning at the 3:30 finishing goal and in 15 minute increments all the way through the 4:45 pace.

The marathoners have company over the second half of the course as the half marathoners will toe the starting line in Adirondack at 10 a.m. to race to the finish in Schroon Lake 13.1 miles later.

Marathon weekend begins on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 9:30 a.m. with 5 and 10-kilometer runs through the streets of Chestertown.

The races begin and end at the Chester Municipal Center.

Individual racers as well as teams can register on Friday, Sept.

21, from 6 to 8 p.m. or Saturday morning from 7 to 8:30 a.m. at the municipal center.

Also participating will be about 500 volunteers, who will man aid stations along the courses and work the finish area.

Packet pick up for marathon and half marathon racers will be Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Jeff Dengate at Schroon Lake Central School.

There will be a running expo at the same time as well as local craft vendors.

There will be a pasta dinner, open to runners and others, that night at 5 at Word of Life. Tickets are available at the expo and at the door.

The marathon course records are held by David Herr of Canaan, Vt., and Simone Stoeppler of Germany. Herr ran 2 hours, 35 minutes, 38 seconds in 2009, while Stoeppler ran 3:04:08 in 1997.

The hand cyclist record belongs to Jeremy Shortsleeve, who rolled to a 1:42:48 mark in 2010.

The half marathon records belong to Eric Blake, who ran 1:10:43 in 2004, and Ashley Gorr, who was clocked in 1:22:18 in 2011.

Adult watercolor painting program planned at Schroon library SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake Public Library will offer adult watercolor painting classes this fall thanks to a grant.

As part of Creative Aging in New York State Libraries, a national leadership project funded by the U.S. Institute for Museum and Library Services, three Clinton-Essex-Franklin libraries will receive a total of $6,500 to support free arts learning programs for older adults. The Rouses Point Dodge Memorial Library and Wells Memorial Library in Upper Jay also received funding.

“In the rural setting, the library is seen not just as a library, but as a community center, a meeting place, a place that is open and free to anyone that wishes to walk through its doors,” said Jane Bouchard, Schroon library director. “We will have the ability to offer quality arts programming to our elderly population and my hopes are that the program is so successful that

we then continue to explore and expand into other types of arts programming for our community."

The Schroon Lake program, “Beginning to Paint Using Watercolors,” will be held on Thursday 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. beginning Sept. 20. The program will conclude Nov. 1. There will be a final event Friday, Nov. 9, 4 to 6 p.m.

Interested people can call the library at 5327737 x13 for more information.

The two-year initiative is a partnership project of Lifetime Arts, Inc., the Westchester Library System and the America Library Association. It builds on Lifetime Arts’ work with major public library systems over the last four years and demonstrates a new model for public libraries to deliver and instructional arts programs for an aging population.

The field of creative aging, which focuses on the beneficial and powerful role of the arts in en-

hancing the quality of life for older adults, is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to positive aging efforts. Creative Aging programs are conducted by professional teaching artists and promote mastery and encourage social engagement – two keys to successful aging.

Creative Aging in NY State Libraries will serve up to 1,000 older adults, through instructional arts programs in up to 60 libraries in four demographically and geographically diverse public library systems: Westchester Library System, New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, and Clinton Essex Franklin Library System. Lifetime Arts is providing extensive technical assistance and professional development for participating librarians and artists. Each workshop series runs for at least eight weeks and culminates with a public exhibition of the participant’s work. Longer term, the project will

promote program sustainability through the publication of The Creative Aging Tool Kit for Public Libraries, an online implementation guide, to be disseminated nationally by ALA’s Public Programs Office.

In 2013, through the support of IMLS, seven more CEF libraries will have the opportunity to implement a Creative Aging program in their community. All members of CEFLS are encouraged to apply for support.

By demonstrating approaches for implementing creative aging programs in urban, suburban, and rural library systems, the project will provide replicable models for libraries across the United States.

The Clinton Essex Franklin Library System is a non-profit federated library system serving 33 public libraries and reading centers in Clinton, Essex, and Franklin Counties.

Body of missing man discovered in Crown Point

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — A body found in Crown Point Sept. 7 has been tentatively identified as a missing Warren County man.

State police said they believe the body is that of Keith R. Gill, age 45, of Chestertown and Bryn Mawr, Pa., who has been missing from a family camp on Loon Lake near Chestertown since Aug. 19.

A New York State Department of Environmental Conservation officer discovered the body at 4:40 p.m. Sept. 7 near Peasley Road, about a mile from the spot police had found

Gill’s car two weeks ago.

State police responded along with Essex County Coroner Paul Connery who authorized transport of the remains to the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake for an autopsy.

Documents and items belonging to Gill were located at the scene.

An autopsy was performed on the remains by Dr C. Francis Varga at Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake Sept. 8. The cause of death was ruled to by a self-inflicted gun shot wound to the head. Essex County Coroner Paul Connery ruled the manner of death as suicide.

Positive identification is pending a forensic dental comparison.

After Gill’s disappearance from the Loon Lake camp, his 1999 BMW was found on Peasley Road in Crown Point, setting off a massive search by State Department of Environmental Conservation forest rangers and Environmental Conservation police, state police, the Essex County Sheriff ’s Department, Ticonderoga town police and Crown Point firefighters.

The coordinated search was discontinued last week after finding no sign of Gill.

Gill is a 1985 graduate of North Warren High School in Chestertown. Police said he had no connection to Essex County.

Festival of Nations coming Sept. 21-23 CROWN POINT — The Crown Point State Historic Site in New York and the Chimney Point State Historic Site in Vermont will host the annual Festival of Nations Sept. 21-23.

The event celebrates the heritage of nations which left an imprint on the region surrounding the Lake Champlain Bridge — Canada, France, Great Britain, Native American Indian tribes and the United States.

Chimney Point State Historic Site, on the Vermont end of the bridge, will offer Festival of Nations programming on Sept. 21, 22 and 23.

From noon until 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 21, atlatl experts Bob and Cheryll Berg of Thunderbird Atlatl will teach a hands-on workshop of traditional and modern techniques of atlatl and dart construction, flint knapping, hafting stone points and cordage making. Pre-registration is required by calling site administrator Elsa Gilbertson at (802) 759-2412.

Chimney Point will host the 17th annual Northeastern Open Atlatl Championship 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sept. 22 and 23. The sport of atlatl throwing is based on the ancient hunting technique of using an atlatl, or spear thrower.

Demonstrations and workshops on flint knapping, Woodland pottery, and other crafts and skills are planned as part of this Vermont Archeology Month program.

At the New York end of the Lake Champlain Bridge, Crown Point State Historic Site will host Franco-American/Canadian-American programming, rain or shine, in the site’s covered pavilion Saturday, Sept. 22.

Va-et-Vient (“Go-and-Come�) will perform a live acoustic

concert 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. This group is composed Vermont musicians Carol Reed, Suzanne Germain and George Dunne.

According to the group’s website, www.vaetvient.net, “The group’s focus is French music from Quebec, France and Louisiana. A sizeable percentage of New England's population is of French-Canadian descent, so Va-et-Vient celebrates the music of this wonderfully rich culture, and keeps its presence alive for both young and old listeners through performance and education. To add to their repertoire, these musicians study and discover musical resources, ranging from archived recordings to singing sessions at the homes of some of Quebec’s most respected keepers of the songs.�

Following the music, at 2:30 p.m. under pavilion, Clinton Community College Professor David Graham will speak on the French heritage of the United States, particularly in New York. Graham’s talk will focus on the unique characteristics of the French presence in New York and the North Country.

He was the project manager and fund raising director for the second edition of the 2012 book “J’aime New York.� A book signing will follow his talk. “J’aime New York� is a bilingual guide to the French heritage of New York State.

The Crown Point State Historic Site property includes the ruins of French-built Fort St. FrĂŠdĂŠric (1734-59) and the ruins Crown Point's British fort (1759-73) and is located at 21 Grandview Drive. For information call 597-4666. Chimney Point State Historic Site is located at 8149 VT Route 17, in Addison, Vt. Call 802-759-2412 for information.

Crown Point from page 1 event.”

Johnson and Pertak have taken part in Relay for Life events in other communities.

“Each relay has its own personality,” Johnson said. “We’re still figuring out exactly what our event will be like, but I know it’ll be fun and we’ll help a lot of people. It’s like a carnival with music, games and food.”

The Crown Point Relay for Life will have a DJ providing music throughout the night.

Teams are encouraged to bring tents and camp at the site. While each team is asked to have at least one walker on the track at all times, Johnson said, others participants and visitors are free to enjoy the various activities.

Registration fee for the relay is $10 a person before Sept. 19 and $20 after that date.

Each walker is asked to raise at least $100 for the American Cancer Society. Every walker who meets the $100 goal will receive a T shirt.

People interested in taking part can call Johnson at 597-9339 or Pertak at 216-4111.

Information is also available on line at relayforlife.org/getinvolved/findanevent/app/ findanevent.aspx?searchQuery=crown+poi nt%2C+ny&x=54&y=11&resultsPerPage=25# and on Facebook at

facebook.com/RelayForLifeOfCrownPoint?filter=1 A track will be created around a soccer field at the school. The track will be lit with electronic candles and construction lights will be used for the remainder of the area.

Johnson said there are a limited number of recreational vehicles sites available near the track and tents are encouraged to shelter walkers who may wish to sleep during the night.

Besides raising money to fight cancer, Johnson said the relay is a way of honoring victims of the disease.

“We hope as many cancer survivors as possible will join us that night to walk or just visit,” she said. “There will be a reception for survivors following the first lap of the walk. The biggest and best part of the relay is celebrating our survivors.”

Johnson said the Crown Point community has been supportive of the Relay for Life.

Crown Point school is providing facilities and Crown Point Telephone was the event’s first sponsor.

“I can’t tell you how grateful we are to the community,” Johnson said. “Everyone has been wonderful. I’m certain we’ll have a great event.”

Johnson hopes people who are unable to walk will still attend a portion of the event and make a donation. Donations can be

“This is our first year and it will be a small relay compared to those in bigger cities,”

Johnson said. “But I’m certain we’ll be successful and I believe we’ll grow in the future.”

Old County Courthouse pillar work progressing

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — There are new structures helping to keep the roof on the Old Essex County Courthouse up.

A pair of new supports have been placed on the courthouse, along with several others near pillars along the county buildings as county officials look to replace the failing pillars with new, historically accurate ones.

“All of the areas that have the supports were places where the pillars needed immediate securing,” County Department of Pub-

lic Works Superintendent Anthony LaVigne said. “They are old and they all need some work. The ones that are shored up need to be done as an emergency replacement. The others will be done as we can budget for that work.”

LaVigne said that they are currently in the design and engineering process for the project, which is how they discovered more pillars other than the ones located at the Old Courthouse that needed repair.

“They looked at all of the pillars as part of the scope of the work,” LaVigne said. “They shored up the pillars and drilled access holes so they could see what was inside. This allowed them

to inspect and measure the pillars and come up with a design.”

LaVigne said that the design process will take longer because the buildings have been designated as historical landmarks.

“The designs will have to be checked for historical accuracy,” he said. “It makes the process slower any time that you add a layer of bureaucracy into it.”

LaVigne said that he hoped the work could be done Rot in the pillars at the Old Courtthrough the winter months. house has forced Essex County to do emergency repairs.

Tough weekend on the gridiron for Sentinels and Vikings

Sentinel Michael Graney connected on 6-of-18 passes for 63 yards during the Sentinels’ 35-7 loss in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference action Sept. 7.

It was a tough weekend for the Ticonderoga and Moriah football teams.

Ticonderoga dropped a 35-7 decision to Peru in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference action Sept. 7 and Moriah was thumped by Saranac Lake, 41-6, Sept. 9.

Peru 35, Ticonderoga 7 Ti played Peru tough for a half, but a key turnover to start the third period turned the game into a rout. The Sentinels trailed 14-7 at the intermission, but Peru intercepted a pass to start the third period and immediately turned it into points.

The turnover set up Hunter Bruno’s 8-yard touchdown run to put the Indians on top, 21-7.

Peru scored on an 81-yard pass from Blake Altizer to Brett Boyer and it was 28-7. Altizer threw another scoring pass, this one from 14 yards, and it was 35-7.

The three scores came in less than seven minutes and turned a close game into a run away.

After Peru had taken an early lead, Ticonderoga knotted the contest in the first period on Tanner Wright’s 10-yard TD run.

Wright finished the game with 63 yards rushing on nine carries. Mile Austin ran for 94 yards on 13 tries for the Sentinels.

Robert Zayas takes charge as NYSPHSAA’s sixth executive director denpubs@denpubs.com Robert Zayas knows about making bold moves.

Growing up in a military family, Zayas bounced between the state he was born in (Maine), Texas and Turkey.

The day after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Zayas volunteered to talk to an Austin TV station about what he was teaching his O’Henry Middle School history students about the events in New York City and Arlington, Va. After joining the New Mexico Activities Association in 2002, Zayas remodeled its website, directed the state’s high school soccer, swimming and track meets, worked as the media relations person and established a “Life of an Athlete” program modeled after the prototype created in New York.

Now Zayas has uprooted his young family to the Capital District, where he has been hired to run the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

Zayas, 36, said being named NYSPHSAA’s sixth executive director is a “dream job” for him.

“I’m a big high school sports fan,” said Zayas. “For me, there’s nothing purer than high school athletic competition.”

Zayas said he wasn’t sure he would get the job when he applied for it.

“Coming into a state athletic association and getting an executive director ’s job is incredibly difficult,” said Zayas.

“To do that from 2,000 miles away is even more difficult.”

What Zayas had going for him was his work with the NMAA’s tournaments and website. He increased the net revenues for New Mexico’s soccer, swimming and track meets by lowering expenses, and he improved the organization’s web presence by redesigning the site to include more news topics and game results.

“Every time he took over a tournament … he took it to another level,” said NMAA Assistant Director for Marketing Dusty Young, who worked closely with Zayas. “Not only did he make these events first class, but he also did his best to cut costs.”

Zayas said he would like to implement those ideas with NYSPHSAA, but his first task is to learn as much as he can about the organization’s 11 member sections and their needs.

“I want to do three things. I want to listen, I want to learn and I want to evaluate,” said Zayas.

Before Zayas officially took over as executive director Sept. 1, he spent the previous week working closely with his predecessor, Nina Van Erk. The two traveled to western New

York for meetings with the Section V and VI directors, and Zayas went over the rules and regulations with Van Erk. “I have incredibly big shoes to fill in replacing Nina,” said Zayas. “Just in the past four days, I’ve learned the amount of knowledge she has about rules and regulations is incredible.”

Van Erk, who is taking over as Section VIII (Nassau County) executive director, said there are certain aspects of running NYSPHSAA she will miss.

“The day-to-day interaction with the athletic directors of the state and the various sport coordinators,” she said.

One thing Zayas is learning is the financial challenges member schools and sections are facing with funding their sports. With less state aid and cap on raising property taxes, school districts across New York are spending less on extracurricular activities such as sports. And earlier this year, NYSPHSAA addressed concerns about travel costs to state tournaments – even floating the idea of a two-year moratorium on state championships.

Zayas said his goal is to make certain student-athletes continue to have opportunities to play for their schools.

“High school sports are an extension of the classroom,” said Zayas. “You can learn lessons on a football field that you can’t learn in math class. If you eliminate sports, you’re making the life of a student-athlete more difficult.”

“I would hope the economic climate (of New York) would turn itself around so as not to be a threat to the sports community,” said Van Erk. To address the travel cost issue, Zayas said he will look at where state tournaments are held and consider centrally-located alternatives if there needs to be a change of venue.

“That (meeting travel costs) is always a concern,” said Zayas. “What we want to do is ease those concerns as much as possible.”

Zayas is also interested in making the 36 regional and state tournaments NYSPHSAA runs better across the board.

“One thing is you want the girls field hockey tournament to be treated the same way as the state basketball tournament,” said Zayas. “You want everyone in every sport to feel like they’re being treated well.”

Another item Zayas said he wants to address early in his tenure is NYSPHSAA’s website. He said the current site needs an upgrade – one that includes more statewide sports news and the capability for webcasting state tournaments.

“I want New York to be one of the more technologicallyadvanced states in the country,” said Zayas. “That’s what I want to do over the next three years.”

Young said Zayas’ work on the NMAA website helped in-

Robert Zayas crease traffic.

“I don’t have the figures (number of page hits) for the old site, but within the first year of the new site (2005), we probably had about 600,000 visitors,” said Young. “Since then we’ve seen a steady increase, and it was probably around 1.3 million visitors last year.”

As Zayas looks to implement his changes, he said he’s aware there will be a learning curve for him as he becomes acclimated to New York high school sports.

“With me being so new to the state … I think it will take me a few months to fully understand all of the various challenges,” said Zayas.

Young said he believes Zayas will meet the challenges of running NYSPHSAA. “He’s going to be a great leader,” said Young. “He’s always been someone the (NMAA) staff looked up to as being someone who always knew what was best for the state and its athletes.”

The sporting season begins

T

he annual autumn migration that is responsible for taking young men, old men and increasingly, a large number of women into the deep woods of the Adirondacks is set to begin soon with the launch of the early bear season on Sept. 15. Following soon after this date is the early archery hunting season for whitetail deer, which begins on Sept. 27 for hunters using last season’s bow tags.

This mix of hunting seasons is soon to be followed by the muzzleloading season for whitetails which begins on Oct. 13, a week prior to the regular big game season which opens Oct. 20.

For bird hunters the ruffed grouse season begins on Sept. 20, followed by the pheasant season on Oct. 1, which follows the annual youth pheasant hunt scheduled for the weekend of Sept. 29-30. Crow season also begins on Oct. 1, as well as the woodcock season. Woodcock hunters must register with NYHIP at 1-888-427-5447.

For information on waterfowl seasons, including ducks and geese, please visit the NYSDEC website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife.

Those seeking smaller game such as squirrels have already been at it since the season began on Sept. 1. The coyote season begins on Oct. 1, about a month before the bobcat season begins on Oct. 25 and prior to weasel, skunk, opossum, fox and raccoon season kicks off on Nov. 1.

Tossed into the annual mix of hunting opportunities is the fall turkey season, which runs from Oct. 1-19.

Adirondack hunting in season

Hunters had been traveling to the Adirondack region for millenniums, prior to the arrival of Europeans on this continent. However, due to overhunting and improper game management, the region was once nearly devoid of certain game species at a crucial point in its history.

Shortly before the turn of the 20th century, species such as black bear, beaver, wolf, cougar and even whitetail deer were nearly extirpated from the Adirondacks, as a result of hunting practices that included hounding, jacklighting, bounty hunting, crusting and trapping.

However, by 1902 a new era was unfolding as Americans began to redefine their relationship with the natural world. Fortunately, such unsportsmanlike hunting practices were soon halted due to the efforts of early conservationists such as Theodore Roosevelt, William H. H. Murray, John Bird Burnham, Charles Hallock, Col. William Hornaday, George Bird Grinnell and Harry V. Radford. They worked together to ensure the survival and conservation of many native game species.

In 1904, the NYS Fish and Game Commission prohibited beaver trapping and the molestation or destruction of their dams. However, bounties were still being offered for black bear, wolves and cougar. Even though New York Gov. Odell signed a bill in 1904 to protect black bear across the state, the bill exempted Essex County, which paid out bounties for 52 Black Bears in 1906.

The last buffalo and a lost pygmy

It was while working as a taxidermist for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, that Col. William Townsend Hornaday was instructed to collect specimens of American bison for the museum’s collection. Although he eventually collected the required specimens for the Smithsonian; Hornaday was struck by the plight of the buffalo’s near extinction after traveling the west.

He returned to the East and committed himself to saving the massive symbols of The Great Plains of the Wild West, especially in light of the wanton destruction of other species of similarly endless populations such as the Passenger Pigeon, which was declared extinct in 1908.

Eventually, he started a political organization called the American Bison Society of which he was the president, and under his leadership the society began a captive breeding program and created ranges and reserves in the West.

Hornaday began his efforts by penning The Extermination of the American Bison, a book which exposed the wanton destruction of one of the most iconic species in the West. Buffalo were slaughtered in an effort to remove a major source of food, shelter and weapons from the Native People as a part of the strategy of war, which was similar to the 'scorched earth policies' of other conflicts. Buffalo robes were selling for only a dollar, while their bones were used for fertilizer.

In 1913, Hornaday wrote Our Vanishing Wildlife, a book that drew attention to the mindless decimation of wildlife achieved through the use of modern firearms, netting and trapping. Although many of Hornaday’s critics accused him of attempting to end all hunting, that certainly wasn’t his intention. Hornaday loved to hunt, and he had done so all over the globe. His contention as a conservationist was that if limits weren’t put in place, there soon wouldn’t be anything left to hunt.

Although the decade of 1890-1900 was considered the Era of the Great White Hunter, the times were changing rapidly. As one of the leading naturalists of the day and an avowed crusader for wildlife conservation, Col. Hornaday was offered a position as Director of the New York Zoological Park. The opportunity would help him to bring about many pieces of the puzzle. Soon, he was transporting bison by rail to New York, in order to breed the animals in captivity so the offspring

could later be restocked on the Plains.

The New York Zoological Park, also known as the Bronx Zoo, eventually became the New York Zoological Society, which was later renamed the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).

The WCS continues its mission of protecting and promoting wildlife conservation worldwide. The organization also has an office in Saranac Lake, which has been responsible for numerous regional and international conservation efforts.

Although he was held in high esteem for his conservation efforts, Hornaday was later discredited due to a scandalous exhibit that was hosted under his direction at the Bronx Zoological Gardens. The notorious exhibit featured an African pygmy, known as Ota Benga, who was kept inside the monkey house as an example of a ‘primitive man.’

The display, which was hosted during the summer of 1906 raised questions about natural history and human evolution, Christianity and Darwinism, and it was mixed with a generous dose of Barnumism. The pygmy, Ota Benga, had been purchased at a slave market in the Belgian Congo in 1904 by noted African explorer Samuel Verner, for a display at the St. Louis Worlds Fair. He was later presented to Hornaday for an exhibit entitled the “Amazing Dwarf of the Congo Valley.”

After the New York Times featured a story on the exhibit, Hornaday was ridiculed by members of the local AfricanAmerican clergy who were outraged at the spectacle of a supposed ‘primitive man’ being caged and on display at the Bronz Zoo. Being treated as a curiosity, mocked, and made fun of by the visitors eventually caused Benga to “hate being mobbed by curious tourists and mean children.” Eventually, following the formal protests and continued threats of legal action, Col. Hornaday removed Ota Benga from display.

Benga was later sent to the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum in Lynchburg, Virginia, where he was put to work as a laborer and 'taught ways of civilization'. Sadly, his story ended with a simple byline in the July 16, 1916, New York Times which read, “Ota Benga, Pygmy tired of America; the strange little African finally ended his life at Lynchburg, Va. Once at the Bronx Zoo; his American sponsor found him shrewd and courageous-wanting to be educated.”

After realizing he would never be able to earn enough money to pay for a return trip to the Congo, Benga had stolen a revolver and committed suicide.

Free health screeing 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.

According to RN Julie Tromblee, basic health evaluations allow physicians an opportunity to uncover physical conditions that can put individuals at risk. “Considering that hunters are exerting themselves in areas that may be far from home and difficult to access by emergency personnel, it’s important that they have a yearly physical to ensure that there are no major health issues that make them vulnerable,” she said. “This hospital’s mission includes protecting the health of our community members; and the Hunters’ Health Screening event allows us to do just that.”

The hospital lobby will be filled with information related to hunting, hunting safety and regulations. A representative from the NYS Department of Conservation will be on-hand to answer questions in regard to laws and regulations. Local authors, safety instructors and hunting experts will be on-hand to discuss hunting in the local area.

Youth pheasant hunt; skeet practice planned WILLSBORO — The Essex County Fish & Game League will be holding its annual youth pheasant hunt the last weekend in September on the 29th and 30th the hunt is open to youths 12 to 15 years in age and they must hold a current 2011/2012 small game license. The Willsboro Fish & Game will be holding skeet practice for the upcoming hunts. the practice days are Sept. 18 at 4 p.m. to dusk and Sept. 22 from 2 to 4 p.m. refreshments will be served. Any one wanting to participate must preregister please contact John Oliver at 963-4421 or Jim Hotaling at 963-7430.

Alewives, like the one pictured above, were first discovered in Lake Champlain in July, 2004. Columnist Howard Hammond believes some lake users and politicians overreact to the presence of nonnative species.

Concern over invasive species: Fact or fiction?

I

t seems the hot topic in the last few months has been the invasion of non-native species of aquatic plants and fish into Lake Champlain.

To quote the Lake Champlain Basin Program Guide for Aquatic Invasive Species: “The Lake Champlain Basin is home to a number of invasive species that cause economic and ecological harm to our ecosystem.”

I have to ask: what harm? Yes, it is costly to try and rid the eco- sysBy Howard Hammonds tem of a harmful species once it’s established but then what harm is the species causing? Where is the peer reviewed research and long term studies? Just to say nonnative species are harmful or will compete with the existing food chain without some documentation doesn’t seem very scientific. Actually, it seems very irresponsible.

Eurasian Watermilfoil is the most commonly named invasive plant species in Lake Champlain. I am sure milfoil causes problems with the million dollar waterfront houses’ water intake systems or the use of Jet Skis in the shallow flats from the heavy growth. But then again it seems from my years of fishing that where the milfoil grows so does the best fishing occur. Ask any big time pro and he will always say, ”find the milfoil, find the bass.”

A recent survey by Bassmaster Magazine named Lake Champlain one of the top five bass lakes in the USA, that probably wouldn’t have occurred if milfoil hadn’t invaded the lake. One has to pick their poison: the economic benefit of a great fishery or no weeds and no fish. I have witnessed the TVA in the south spend millions of dollars treating the lakes of the south to kill milfoil and hydrilla to protect the million dollar lakefront properties and megawatt hydro-electric plants, and wind up with a limited fish population. Case in point, Fort Loudon Lake in east Tennessee, during the years the lake was polluted with milfoil and hydrilla the bass population thrived, today no weeds and no fish. One can fish all day and maybe get five bites, compared to Lake Champlain where you can catch five bass in five minutes.

Recently, Mark Malchoff of the Lake Champlain Sea Grant spoke before the Essex County Board of Supervisors concerning the possibility of the invasion of other species he finds disturbing, namely hydrilla and the round goby. He gave his opinion that they could cause “economic havoc.” Please bring on the havoc! I recently returned from 10 days of fishing two bass tournaments on the western basin of Lake Ontario, an area filled with hydrilla, milfoil and round gobies. Believe me the bass are bigger and more plentiful than Lake Champlain. There were far more 20-pound sacks of smallmouth brought to the scales by the same fisherman who competed on Lake Champlain three weeks ago. And it’s strange that not once did I encounter any Spiny Waterfleas.

Before you get up in arms about invasive species here are some facts. Brown trout and rainbows are non-native species stocked by the DEC. Lake trout are not natural to the lake and the common carp has been here my entire life. In fact until a few years ago if you bought a fish sandwich at McDonalds it was probably made with common carp meat. There are pluses and minuses to every situation, but before we throw out the bath water let’s make sure the baby isn’t in the tub.

I really tire of the politicians wanting their names in the press by taking a stand that seems popular without the real facts. This great country was shaped by all forms of ecological changes. Some of these non-native aquatic creatures may just improve the fishery.

any people question the high cost of adopting an animal from a shelter. At the NCSPCA, our adoption fee for adult dogs is $90, and for adult cats, is $55. Adopting a puppy costs $55 plus a $35 deposit toward neutering/spaying; adopting a kitten costs $20 plus the deposit.

Although adoption fees comprise only 15 percent of our income (private donors provide 85 percent of funding), these fees help us to maintain the level of quality care our shelter staff provide to our animals awaiting their forever homes. We treat all of our cats and dogs with loving care, which includes a thorough assessment of each incoming animal's health and personality, as well as opportunities to improve for training and socialization to give them the best chance at having a good life with a loving family. Our dedicated staff and cadre of volunteers work tirelessly to make the shelter the best possible alternative until a permanent home can be found. Your adoption fees help us to maintain our staff, as well as providing top quality food and medical care, including inoculations, diagnostic tests, and spaying or neutering. Many animals arrive at the shelter in need of medical care and treatment before they can be adopted into new homes. You can be sure that the fee you pay when adopting a new pet will benefit the health and well-being of all our animals!

Mindy Our featured pet this week is Mindy, a gorgeous, tortoiseshell-patterned Domestic Shorthair-mix who has bewitching golden eyes and a sweet personality. Mindy takes a few minutes to warm up to strangers, but once she does, she's a big, cuddly purring machine who loves to be held and petted. Once she is in her "comfort zone," Minday is very mellow, has excellent manners, and gets along well with other cats. If you are looking for a feline who is beautiful in both appearance and personality, Mindy is the cat for you. Why not stop by and spend a few minutes getting to know her today? We are sure you won't be disappointed.
