The bridge was closed abruptly Oct. 16, 2009, after an inspection r evealed deep cracks in its support pillars. It was destr oyed by a controlled explosion in December 2009 and constr uction began in its replacement. The Lake Champlain Bridge Community, a gr oup of New York and V ermont residents and businesses who have lobbied for quick replacement of the span, had hoped to hold an opening ceremony that weekend.

Ti teachers rally to aid colleague Keene Valley home lost to flooding By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Russ Cook lost his home to T ropical Storm Irene, but the T iconderoga Elementary School teacher feels fortunate.
“It’s amazing,” he said. “Events like this r eally bring out the best in people. That’s the lesson of Irene — we have wonderful friends and neighbors. I’m incr edibly thankful for what’s been done for my family .” Cook, who lives in Keene V alley with his wife, Angie, and two small children, awoke Aug. 28 to find his home was a virtual island because of flooding in the AuSable River and Johns Brook.
“At 1 p.m. I decided to pack up the family and leave,” Cook recalled. “I realized the water was going to come into the house and I didn’t want my kids to deal with that trauma and anxiety. We went to stay with a friend.” Cook, who has taught kindergarten in T iconderoga the last six years, returned to his home the next

Everyone in our Town no matter where they reside, or what they reside in, is paying too much real estate taxes. MORE Than Their Share For the last six years Despite a declining real estate market, the town by continued reduction of our equalization rate, has made the determination that your home, no matter where in the town it is, has increased in Market Value ! Examine your tax bills over the last 6 years and look at what the Town says your Fair Market Value is and you will quickly see that your Fair Market Value has increased every single year ! Do you honestly believe that your values continue to rise? Our Assessor has failed to argue our declining property values with the proper authorities for the last six years! A study of five properties recently for sale in the Town clearly demonstrated that the asking price for All of them was well BELOW the Assessor determined Fair Market Value. Putnam’s Town Board is preparing for a Reassessment, A Re Val. This is a Mistake. Putnam’s Town Budget is FINE! Putnam’s School Budget is FINE. There is no need for a waste of taxpayer’s funds to perform a reassessment at this time. The Town Budgets are OK. ATTEND PUTNAM TOWN BOARD MEETING Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 7pm. Direct any questions to topta@nycap.rr.com The last two Re Vals resulted in huge out of pocket tax increases The Town Board has said that this would be Fair. The last two were NOT Recent Re Val in Ticonderoga resulted in Major Tax increases. 396 Ti Residents signed a petition Against it. The Ti Board ignored their pleas. 196 Citizens were told their assessments would be reduced. This never happened and a law suit has commenced. The Real Problem is the Town’s Equalization Rate. A correction of our Equalization Rate up from 43% (Like Hague, Bolton Landing and Lake George) would lower everyone in the Town of Putnam’s taxes. A Re Val based on our erroneous Equalization rate serves only to increase our property taxes, especially to Washington County.
A new association is forming. It will be called the...

A temporary Board of Directors is in Place and there will be an election for permanent officers. Our objective will be Tax Fairness and we will be endorsing Political Candidates who support and promote our views. All are welcome.

Shared services key to school futures
T
hese are difficult times for school districts. They face unprecedented budget cuts while at the same time feel the pressure to offer better educational opportunities for students. And it’s about to get even tougher. The new state 2 percent tax cap will handcuff schools even more in the 2012-13 academic year. What’s a school administrator to do? The answer may well lie in shared services. The state comptroller ’s office has issued a paper on “Local Government and School Accountability.” The top item in its list of suggested school costsaving measurers is “cooperation and consolidation.” While Ticonderoga and Crown Point school districts have asked the Department of State for an application for grant money to conduct a merger study, it’s unlikely any local schools will be combining in the near future. That leaves cooperation. This fall Crown Point is sending six students to Ticonderoga High School daily to take a physics class. Crown Point will pay Ti for cost of lab materials and incidentals, but the agreement is much less expensive for Crown Point than hiring a physics teacher and setting up a lab. “It’s working out very well,” John McDonald, Ticonderoga superintendent, said. “It’s a good opportunity for these kids to get a class normally not available to them. We’re happy to provide it.” McDonald is also pleased local schools are sharing some transportation costs this year. Moriah shuttles St. Mary’s students from Crown Point to and from the Ticonderoga school daily. Ticonderoga drops off and picks up Crown Point’s CV-Tech Mineville students on their way by twice a day. “Our efforts to share services as we can speaks to the ways all our districts
are doing their best to make opportunities for students available within limited budget constraints,” Shari Brannock, Crown Point superintendent, said. Shared services is nothing new for many scholastic athletic teams. Minerva-Newcomb and Indian Lake-Long Lake have fielded combined sports teams for several years. Moriah, Westport, Keene and Elizabethtown-Lewis have had joint track and swimming teams. Saranac, Peru and Seton Catholic share a hockey team. And there are opportunities for other shared services, such as joining forces with local colleges. Crown Point and other area districts participate with North Country Community College and Paul Smith’s College to offer classes that simultaneously garner high school and college credit. The classes are taught at local schools by local teachers with the approval of NCCC and Paul Smith’s. The NCCC and Paul Smith’s classes include English composition I and II, creative writing, Adirondack history, psychology, American history I and II, integrated algebra, statistics, financial accounting, and introduction to nutrition. Schroon Lake Central School has similar arrangements with SUNY-Albany and Adirondack Community College. School district administrators need to take a close look at their neighbors with an eye toward sharing even more services — services that ultimately benefit students and taxpayers.

Where is the Fort Ti board? To the Times of Ti:
The ongoing rift between re -enactors and the management at Fort Ticonderoga has me wondering why nothing is being done to soothe this festering sore by those entrusted with the duty of overseeing the operation. I find it interesting that of the 21 members of the board of trustees for Fort Ticonderoga only eight are from New York State and only two ar e listed as fr om Ticonderoga. One of these is actually a r esident of New York City as is another board member! All other boar d members come fr om Ohio, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Texas, Canada, Virginia, North Carolina, Vermont, Idaho and Washington D.C.. These members are far removed from the day-to-day operations of the fort and one has to wonder what or how they contribute. Having served on several boar ds for both non-pr ofit and for-profit businesses I have to question the oversight by the Fort T iconderoga boar d.

Tyranny or liberty?
The assessor issue is moot. Fiscal irr esponsibility is running rampant in the town of Crown Point. Town records indicate that the following fees have been paid by Crown Point taxpayers. $976 improper dismissal of the assessors clerk by the supervisor. $1,128 improper involvement of supervisor and town board in the Millers’ assessment after the assessors won a 2010 small claims hearing decision. $816 attorney fees from March 21 to June 9, 2011. A meeting held with the town board, assessors, Millers and the town attorney, March 1, 2011. The Millers received an unfavorable opinion from the town attorney. This was without knowledge or prior appr oval of the town boar d to r esearch elected vs. appointed assessors. According to town records from years 2003 through 2009 the town averaged $2,630 per year for attorney fees.According to town records in 2010 attorney fees were $19,750. From Jan. 20 to June 2011, six months, the attorney fees were $9,781. Crown Point is in trouble due to the lack of fiscal responsibility on the part of the present supervisor. A change in leadership must be made to bring fiscal esponr sibility and fair and open government back to the people of Crown Point. There are knowledgeable, fair and educated people on the ballot to choose from. Remember in November.

Prevention Team to mark 25th anniversary
The Substance Abuse Prevention Team of Essex County will mark its 25th anniv ersary Oct. 12. The team includes, back from left, Doug Terbeek, Darcey Hurlburt, Linda Gerardi, Tina Clark, Dave Wyant, Angie MacAlpine; front, Nancy Paquette, Angel Marvin, Don McMullen and Darla Breckenridge. Not pictured is Mac MacDevitt.
By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Substance Abuse Prevention Team of Essex County Inc. will celebrate its 25th anniversary on O ct. 1 2 a t t he Elizabethtown-Lewis Cen-
tral School auditorium fr om 3 to 5 p.m. The event will welcome anyone who has helped in the or ganization in the past and featur e some displays that will give people a sense of what the team has been involved in over the last 25 years.
“We want to thank the many, many people who have been involved with some of the pr ograms that we have had over the years,” Doug Terbeek, executive director of the team, said. The Pr evention T eam formed 25 years ago in Ticonderoga as the Moses
Ludington Hospital Substance Abuse Prevention. Now the Pr evention T eam works with 13 school districts, 11 in Essex County. “Thousands of people have been involved in the various pr ograms of help and hope over the last 25 years and we want to know
who they are and what they are doing now,” Linda Gerardi, development and outreach coor dinator for the team, said. “They are making a difference and we hope by celebrating this we will encourage them to continue to make a dif ference because this is not a work that’s finished,” she said. “It’s one we have to continue to do tomorrow.” Different pr ograms the Prevention T eam have r un over the past 25 years include: Walks Against Drugs, Youth to Youth pr ogram, SAFE HOMES, Natural Helpers, Reconnecting Youth, F AST, Coaches and Captains, Boquet River Theatre Festival, Reality Check, Teen Institutes, Connecting Youth and Communities (CYC), O ne S econd E xhibit 2008-2009, Pr evention Team/Vermont Voltage Soccer Camps and BEST Walks. Gerardi said that in 1986 people thought of dr ug and alcohol pr oblems fr om afar, that the work done by the team was to keep the pr oblem fr om coming to their community thr ough awar eness. Now the pr oblems associated with drugs, alcohol and gambling are here in the
community. “When the mar ches first happened in ‘86 we wer e looking at things saturating the community,” Gerardi said, “with all sorts of support systems to catch people with a safety net, whether they ar e an elderly person with an alcohol problem or a youth who is trying to make wise decisions r elated to drugs or alcohol in their social life. Today we know that so much of what helps equip people to effectively not get in tr ouble with dr ugs or alcohol or even gambling is some resiliency factors that we c an p ut i n p lace i n ou r communities.” Any one who has been involved with the or ganization in the past is invited to come together to celebrate and share their experiences, and view a student performance fr om On Common Ground, a group of students that write and perform their own material for peer to peer education. The event will also feature an internationally r ecognized lectur er and consultant in substance abuse pr evention and education, Mike Nerney of Long Lake who recently appear ed on the ABC program “20/20.”
Ticonderoga opts not to require contractors to be licensed By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga will not enact a law r equiring contractors to be licensed by the town. Several contractors spoke in opposition during a public hearing Sept. 8 on a pr oposed law to “regulate contracting business-
es in the town of Ticonderoga.” The law would have required all contractors doing business in the town to be licensed by the town board. A license application would have been made to the town clerk and included a contractor ’s proof of insurance, pr oof the company has worker’s compensation insurance, a state sales tax number and a list of any prior criminal offenses. Applications would have then been consider ed the the town

pressed by contractors themselves. “Legitimate contractors ar e in favor of this,” Malaney said. “They see it as pr otection for themselves and for homeowners.” Some contractors ar e concerned they ar e losing work to less-than-r eputable contractors who pr omise work for lower prices, Malaney said. Malaney also concerned about homeowners. “Homeowners are liable for what happens on their property unless a contractor has his own insurance,” she said. “We don’t want a situation where someone gets injured and a homeowner is r esponsible for the medical costs. This will pr otect homeowners when the hir e a contractor . It’s important for a homeowner to know if a contractor has insurance.”

Homeowners doing their own projects would have been exempt. Contractors Lee Peters, Steve Patnode and Steve Mackay spoke against the pr oposed law at the hearing, claiming the measur e would place unnecessary bur dens on contractors. Following the hearing the town board decided to take no action on the proposal law, effectively killing it. “It was just another level of incr eased government regulation,” Ti trustee Wayne Taylor said. “I don’t feel it’s needed.” Supervisor Deb Malaney said the pr oposed law was the r esult of concerns ex-

Crown Point students attending Ticonderoga High School Districts share physics class
By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Julianne Glebus can be seen in the halls at T iconderoga High School this fall. That wouldn’t be unusual, except that Glebus is a Crown Point Central School student. Glebus is one of six Cro wn Point students coming to T i High daily to take a physics class — a class not available in Crown Point. “Crown Point had some students inter ested in physics and asked about the possibility of them taking the class here,” John McDonald, T i school superintendent, said. “W e checked our enrollment and had space, so we agreed. “It’s working out very well,” he continued. “It’s a good opportunity for these kids to get a class normally not available to them. We’re happy to provide it.” Shari Brannock, Cr own Point superintendent, appreciates T iconderoga’s willingness to help her students. “The st ate r equires t hree sciences for graduation,” Brannock said. “Normally we of fer earth science and biology and r otate between chemistry and physics. This year we had a lar ge gr oup that wanted to take fore nsics and we decided to off er that. “That meant no physics, but we had some students who wanted the course,” she said. “W e’re pleased they can get physics at Ticonderoga. It’s working out very well.” The six Cr own Point students join 16 Ti High students in the class and labs. McDonald said the Cr own Point district will pay Ti for the class, but the amount is

Paul Jebb, Ti High physics teacher, is pleased to have the Cr own Point contingent in his class. “Physics is a foundation science,” he said. “It’s important for students to have it. I’m pleased we can help.” Jebb believes the combined class is motivating students. “I think kids fr om both schools have picked up their game,” he said. “Everyone wants to look good in fr ont

the new kids.” Mike Graney , T i High principal, sees another advantage to the joint class. “I’m pleased the Cr own Point kids ar e getting physics and I think it’s a great opportunity socially ,” Graney said. “It’s a chance for kids from both schools to get to know each other and talk about the way things are done in each school. I think there’s a lot of learning taking place besides physics.” The T iconderoga and Crown Point school districts agreed last spring to consider a possible mer ger. The two school boar ds have asked the Department of State for an application for grant money to conduct a study of the issue. Some feel the shared class may be a first step towar d a merger, but McDonald and Brannock insist that’s not the case. “We haven’t even gotten the grant to do the study yet,” McDonald said. “If and when we do get the grant it’ll be at least a two-year process.” Even after the study , no merger can take place with voter appr oval of both school districts. It’s very possible the districts will not mer ge, McDonald said, but the study may lead to g reater shar ed services that could save taxpayers in both districts money. “The study will look at all kinds of consolidation of services, each tax base, state aid to each district, geography, programs, everything,”
he said. “The study will give us an idea of what’s feasible. Anything we can do together that helps both districts will be looked at. W e (T i) could end up sending some students to Crown Point for a class there. “How can we look at our taxpayers and say we didn’t pursue this?” McDonald asked. Brannock agrees. “We have to find ways to remain responsible to taxpayers and meet student needs,” Brannock said. “W e have to consider every possibility.” McDonald and Brannock also pointed out the two school districts ar e sharing student transportation to Champlain V alley T ech in Mineville. Beginning with the 201213 spending plan, school district budget incr eases will be capped at 2 per cent. That cap means school administrators ar e looking at every possible savings. Crown Point has 280 students, while enr ollment is 900 at Ticonderoga. Ticonderoga has a $18,997,947 budget in 201 112. The district has struggled with its budget the past two years, with voters er jecting pr oposed spending plans twice. Ticonderoga’s budget for 2011-12 inc ludes r eductions in textbooks, the district newsletter, library, internal auditing, c omputers, t ransportation, athletics, summer school, the annual Whale Watch trip and other items totalling $242,319.
The Ticonderoga Teachers Association agreed to forgo most of its contractual wage increases. Those concessions totalled $320,000. T eachers were to r eceive a 5.73 percent wage incr ease but agreed to waive 85 per cent of their raises and skip step increases in their salaries. They also agr eed to fr eeze extracurricular activity pay. Those concessions, though, wer en’t enough to prevent job loses. The elementary school principal position, an elementary reading teacher , a kindergarten teacher and a teaching assistant have been eliminated through attrition. Two teachers and a teaching assistant were eliminated by lay off. Three other teachers and a teaching assistant will become half-time positions. District administrators agreed to a pay freeze. Crown Point has a $6,084,266 budget in 201112. The budget includes the elimination of 2.9 teaching positions and 3.6 non-instructional jobs. A teaching assistant was eliminated, while science and math positions b ecame h alf t ime a nd Spanish and special education posts wer e r educed 20 percent. Also cut was a bus monitor, a bus driver, an account clerk and a maintenance position. Those job cuts save the district $225,269. The district will also save $34,488 this year and $70,000 next year be cause teachers agreed to a health insurance coverage change.

Ti High, SUNY-Albany collaborate Spanish class, college credits available
TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga High School Spanish program is celebrating its seventh year collaboration with SUNY Albany. The pr ogram, called SUNY at the High School, allows juniors and seniors to take college level Spanish courses while still enrolled at high school. Most ar ea colleges require a year of for eign language as part of the under graduate degr ee pr ogram. The students r eceive high school and college credit at the same time, while r ealizing tuition savings by completing the courses while still in high school. “The best part of this program, other than the substantial cost savings for par ents, is that the students r eceive college cr edit for successfully completing the course,” said instructor Lynne Lenhart. The credits are not dependent upon taking a specific test, but rather awar ded upon completion of the year long course. Students have the opportunity to enroll in the course as juniors and again as seniors, offering a total of eight college credits at high school graduation.

very important to me,” Jebb r ecalled. “He was very hands on and was an inspiration to me. I try to be like him.” Graney said Jebb is deserving of the honor. “Paul has a tremendous work ethic and passion for teaching and his students,” Graney said. “He’s normally the last person in the building every day. He’s an inspiration to his colleagues. “We ask a lot of Paul,” Graney continued. “He often has six balls in the air at the same time, but he always manages to make his teaching his top priority. His students ar e never bored, he always makes his class interesting.” That’s not hard, Jebb said. “In science there’s always something new around the corner,” Jebb said. “It’s really not hard to to keep things fresh.” While Jebb is a science teacher , he is also very involved with other projects, including the school’s College for Every Student program, the Bridge Builders team and competition and recent school improvement initiatives. He has served as chair of the building leadership team, th e science department and the 2009 Career Exploration Day.

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Fires, e xplosions, c rashes a re c ommon occurrences in Paul Jebb’s Ticonderoga High School science labs. “If ther e’s a fir e or explosion it’s a good class,” student Brandon Russell said. “Mr. Jebb’s classes are always fun.” And effective. Jebb, who teaches chemistry and physics at Ti High, has been named a 201 1 Educator of Excellence by the New York State English Council for inspiring his students and colleagues. “Paul is a consummate pr ofessional; a fantastic teacher,” John McDonald, T iconderoga Central S chool superintendent, said. “He’s gr eat with kids, has high expectations and goes out of his way to find opportunities for students. W e’re very proud of him.” Jebb was nominated for the awar d by Russell, student Nate Lenhart, Counselor Kristen Murphy and Ti High Principal Mike Graney. Jebb is unlike other teachers, his students claim. “His teaching style is very dif ferent,” Russell explained. “He’s not big on notes, mostly things ar e hands on. He lets you do things yourself and you learn by trial and err or. He keeps you involved every day.” Lenhart agreed. “It’s important to him that we learn not only how things work, but why they work,” Lenhart said. “He never gives us an answer, but he always gives us a way to find the answer.” Jebb, who will receive his award at a ceremony in Albany this month, is humbled by the recognition. “It’s a total surprise and I’m very appre ciative,” Jebb said. “I have wonderful support and great students.” Jebb, who has taught 11 years at Ti High after 16 years at Newcomb, feels hands-on learning is important in science. “It’s the nature of science that doing leads to learning; it lends itself to hands-on projects,” he said. “I don’t know how teachers in other subjects succeed; they only have wor ds and

Police Report
Ticonderoga • Times of Ti - 16
Ticonderoga from page 1
Ti residents face charges A shoplifting complaint led to the arrest of three Ticonderoga residents Sept. 29, according to the Warren County Sheriff ’s office. Just after 5 p.m. Warren County Sheriff's officers were called to Family Shoe Center, 1500 Route 9 in Queensbury, for a shoplifting complaint. They arrested two people, Ashley E. Fuller, 24, and Courtney R. Rowe, 20, both of Ticonderoga, for the misdemeanor of fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property. The pair had stolen clothing, shoes and other items from three different stores in Warren and Washington counties, police said. One of those thefts had been reported to Whitehall Police earlier in the day but the suspects had fled before police arrived. Fuller was also charged with the misdemeanors of second-degree obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest and endangering the welfare of a child. The latter charg e stemmed from Fuller actions while caring for her 8-month-old child, police said. Warren County Child Pr otective Services r esponded to pr ovide temporary car e for the child while police waited for the child’s father to arrive. Rowe was released Wednesday after posting $500 cash bail. Fuller was unable to post bail and was sent to the W arren County Jail to await arraignment. While being sear ched inside the jail, Fuller became combative and str uck a female correction officer in the face and head, police said. Fuller was subsequently subdued by police and corr ection staff and charged with a felony count of second-degr ee assault. The corr ection officer was transported to the hospital for treatment and released. Fuller was not injured. She was arraigned and sent to jail for lack of $2,500 cash bail. Also on Sept. 29, the sheriff ’s office arrested Jason M. Cobb, 28, of Ticonderoga for fifthdegree criminal possession of stolen property after he was implicated during the investigation into the thefts, police said. Cobb was released with an appearance ticket.
Crown Point teens charged Five Crown Point teens are facing criminal charges after an alleged burglary at a local business. A report was received at about 6:14 a.m. Sept. 25 of a possible br eak-in at Hap’s Market on Main Street, state police said. Two 14-year-old boys, a 13-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy, all from Crown Point, were arrested at different times throughout the day and each charged with third-degree burglary for their alleged participation in the break-in. The four boys wer e given youthful-of fender status and their names wer e not r eleased. They were each issued an appearance ticket and scheduled to appear in Essex County Family Court at a later date. Additionally, Cole M. Brooks, 17, of Crown Point was arrested in connection with the alleged burglary and charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor.
Ti men arrested Three Ticonderoga residents have been arre sted in an attempted burg lary at a Cro wn Point business. Police believe they were also involved in several other recent burglaries in the region. The men wer e arr ested Sept. 28 after state police r eceived a call about a bur glary in progress at the Citgo station on Route 9N in Crown Point, police said. The owner of the business lives nearby and spotted the would-be thieves trying to get in around 11:30 p.m. police said. They fled, but state tr oopers arrested two nearby early the following day and the thir d later that day in Port Henry, according to police. Devin K. Babcock, 16, and Bernard J. Jordon, 18, were arrested Sept. 29, police said. Babcock was charged with felony attempted burg lary and misdemeanor conspiracy, while Jordon was charged with misdemeanor conspiracy, according to State Police. Robert W. Remington, 26, was also charged with attempted burglary and conspiracy and a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest was added after he ran from troopers who found him at a home in Port Henry later Sept. 29, police said. All three were turned over to Ticonderoga police for investigation of burglaries in Ticonderoga.

morning to find 3 feet of flood water , sludge and mud in his home. “I wasn’t alone,” Cook said. “At least half the town was flooded. People wer e stunned — walking around, not knowing what to do or where to start.” In short order, the people of Keene Valley rallied. Russ Cook, a Ticonderoga Elementary School teacher, and his family lost their Keene Within a few hours about valley home t o Tropical Storm Irene. Repairs ar e estimated to cost up t o $60,000 and won’t be complete until late winter. 40 people were helping Cook scrap up mud, tear out carpets, remove dry wall and pull out insulation. “It brought the community together,” Cook said. “People who don’t cross paths very often were helping each other. The camaraderie was fantastic.” Sadly for Cook, the more he cleaned up his home the more damage he discovered. His foundation was compromised and needed to be replaced. That meant finding a specialist to jack up the house while a new foundation can be placed. That specialist, busy with other damaged homes, won’t be able to work on the Cook house until December . That means final repairs to the home aren’t expected until late winter 2012. Those repairs are estimated to cost up to $60,000. The Cooks, who had no flood insurance, have completed applications for low interest emer gency home loans thr ough their local bank. The maximum possible loan is $15,000. Federal Emer gency Management Agency assistance has been applied for and the Cooks r ecently received a check for $500. It was accompanied by a letter of fering two options: either appeal the grant amount or apply for a low interest loan. They’ll be do both. Friends and family are stepping up to help with donations. The T iconderoga ParentTeacher Association and the T iconderoga Teachers Association have made cash contributions. Cook’s colleagues in Ticonderoga held a dinner Oct. 2 at Emerald’s Restaurant to raise money for the home re-construction. It included several raffles. “Every dime donated will go to Russ and his family,” promised Kathy Marshall, a Ti teacher who helped organize the dinner. Cook expressed his thanks by providing the entertainment. He joined Brad Hurlburt — the Back Porch Society — to play acoustic blues for those attending. “The support, both financially and emotionally, has been big,” Cook said. “The teachers are always asking what they can do. Within the first week the PTA handed us a check for our basic needs. The (teacher union) sunshine committee has really helped my family. It’s made it a lot easier to come to work knowing so many people care. “I have to give kudos to Kathy Marshall and Bridget McLaughlin for spear heading this (Ti) event,” he added. “It wouldn’t have been possible without them and Mark ood W at Ti Country Club (Emerald’s).” About $5,600 has been donated to the Cooks. But even with the out-pouring of help, the Cooks face serious challenges. W ith the donations and loans, they still need to find $30-40,000 to fully r epair their home — and they still need housing until the repairs are complete. Immediately after the flood the Cooks stayed two weeks with Dave and Cynthia Johnston. Cynthia Johnston is the Keene Central School superintendent.A second-home owner in Keene then offered use of his house to the Cook family thr ough November. Come December, the Cooks will again be homeless. “Things always work out,” Cook said of his housing plans come December. “Something will fall into place.You have to play with the hand you’ve been dealt. I won’t str ess over it.”

Shaughnessy replaced with part-time phys ed teacher
By John Grybos
jgrybos@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE ― A six-year basketball coach with a winning re cord has lost his job, though he's still rooting for his team. Dana Shaughnessy said the loss of his boys varsity basketball coaching position at the school board’s mid-September meeting was a real surprise. “Everything happened so quick,” he said. The position was awarded to Lee Silvernail, a part-time physical education teacher who was coaching the girls team. The girls basketball team no longer has a coach, and accord ing to a help wanted advertisement in the Oct. 1 Times of Ti, all levels of girls basketball and junior varsity boys basketball need coaches for the season, which launches Nov. 1. Calls to Silvernail, School Board President John Armstrong and School Superintendent Bonnie Finnerty seeking comment were not returned before deadline. Shaughnessy said he started hearing that he'd be r eplaced a couple weeks befor e the school board meeting where the decision was made final. He said he wasn't given much r eason for the decision. “It was a yes-no vote,” at the board, he said. He's also chosen to step down as modified girls soccer and varsity girls softball coach. Shaughnessy’s wife, Mary Lou, is also a coach and serves as the district’s athletic director. According to Dana Shaughnessy, he had a record with the basketball team of 85 wins and 29 or 30 losses. He’s coached two MV AC championship teams and one section VII championship team. His teams have made five trips to the final four. This year, the team has a bye in the regionals and have a good shot at taking Section VII, said Shaughnessy. He’s especially pr oud of the thr ee league banners his squads have earned for sportsmanship. “It might not have been that important to the students,” he joked. You can't be a championship team without respect for your teammates, opponents and everyone else involved in the games, he said. Shaughnessy said he was very excited this season to coach a team that he's sur e will go far. “It's a possibly history-making team,” he said. Shauhnessy said he’s coached the members of the current varsity team for years — he can remember some of them from summer and intermural games he helped coach. “I'm disappointed, but what are you going to do? You've got to stay positive,” he said. Though state law dictates that a coaching position must go to a state-certified teacher before it's of fered to non teachers, Shaughnessy holds a pr ofessional coaching license. This should place him on equal footing with a certified teacher, according to the “School Law Handbook” from the NYS Bar Association and NYS School Boards Association. Shaughnessy said he still hopes that he'll get a chance to resume his position.

SCHROON LAKE — A Binghamton school destroyed by flooding is getting help fr om local students and teachers. Schroon Lake Central School has collected donations of school supplies to assist MacArthur Elementary School, which was a victim of tropical storms Irene and Lee. The project is under the dir ection of Christine Gonyeau, a Schr oon Lake teacher, whose sister, Liz Georgia, teaches kindergarten at MacArthur. “Tropical storms Ir ene and Lee caused major flooding in a lot of places,” Gonyeau said. “It really hit home when my sister was directly affected. She is a kinder garten teacher in a Binghamton school that was completely destroyed in the flood. Flood waters wer e up to the windows and everything was destroyed.” Instead of starting school the first week of September like Schr oon Lake students, MacArthur children started classes Sept. 19 in a former Catholic school that had been closed. “As a r esult, she (Geor gia) and all those teachers had no materials or equipment to instruct the students with,” Gonyeau said. “I felt like I had to help the students at MacArthur in some small way so I solicited help fr om my friends in Schroon Lake. I asked staff and fac-
ulty for school supply donations and to check their closets at home for picture books.” The entire Schroon Lake school responded. Two classes — the senior class led by adviser Laura Cor ey and the fourth grade led by teacher Tracy Gath — turned the r equest into class projects. “Their r esponse was tr uly amazing,” Gonyeau said. “Not only did adults bring items, but our students did as well. The Schroon Lake Central School senior class along with adviser Ms. Laura Cor ey really ran with it as well as our fourth graders. Seniors collected donations in lar ge bins in the high school while the fourth graders along with teacher Mrs. Gath sear ched their stashes of books at home. Many other students and staff dropped items off throughout the week as well.” Last week the donations wer e packed in Schroon Lake and delivered to Binghamton by Gonyeau. “My SUV was packed to the gills,” Gonyeau said. “Liz was really excited and so appreciative of what the Schroon Lake community did to help out her school. I think I was just as excited to have brought it to her. “Our Schroon Lake school community really rose to the occasion to help out MacArthur,” she said. “Students keep asking me how the children fr om MacArthur ar e doing in their new location and if they liked the donations. I’m so proud to be a part of the Schr oon Lake school community and to have been a part of this initiative.”

Signs and symptoms of breast cancer
7 Myths About Breast Cancer
Although widespread use of screening mammograms has increased the number of breast cancers found before they cause any symptoms, some breast cancers are not found by mammograms, either because the test was not done or because even under ideal conditions mammograms do not find every breast cancer. The most common sign of breast cancer is a new lump or mass. A mass that is painless, hard, and has irregular edges is more likely to be cancerous, but breast cancers can be tender, soft, or rounded. For this reason, it is important that any new mass, lump, or breast change is checked by a health care professional with experience in diagnosing breast diseases. Other possible signs of breast cancer include: • swelling of all or part of a breast (even if no distinct lump is felt) • skin irritation or dimpling • breast or nipple pain • nipple retraction (turning inward) • redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin • a nipple discharge other than breast milk Sometimes a breast cancer can spread to underarm lymph nodes and cause a lump or swelling there, even before the original tumor in the breast tissue is large enough to be felt. Swollen lymph nodes should also be reported to your doctor The importance of finding breast cancer early The goal of screening exams for early breast cancer detection is to find cancers before they start to cause symptoms. Screening refers to tests and exams used to find a disease, such as cancer, in people who do not have any symptoms. Early detection means using an approach that allows earlier diagnosis of breast cancer than otherwise might have occurred. Breast cancers that are found because they are causing symptoms tend to be larger and are more likely to have already spread beyond the breast. In contrast, breast cancers found during screening exams are more likely to be smaller and still confined to the breast. The size of a breast cancer and how far it has spread are some of the most important factors in predicting the prognosis (outlook) of a woman with this disease. Most doctors feel that early detection tests for breast cancer save many thousands of lives each year, and that many more lives could be saved if even more women and their health care providers took advantage of these tests. Following the American Cancer Society’s guidelines for the early detection of breast cancer improves the chances that breast cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage and treated successfully.
Breast Cancer - Myths Vs. Facts 1. Myth: I’m too young to worry about breast cancer. Fact: While it’s true that your breast cancer risk increases as you get older, the fact is that women of all ages are at risk for developing breast cancer. 2. Myth: There’s never been a case of breast cancer in my family so I don’t need to worry about it happening to me. Fact: The truth is the majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer don’t have a family history of this devastating cancer. However, if your mother, sister, or grandmother ever had breast cancer your risk is significantly increased. 3. Myth: I don’t have a mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene so I’m sure breast cancer is not in my future. Fact: Don’t fool yourself! Not having a mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene does not mean you won’t get breast cancer. Actually, the truth is that almost all women (90 to 95 percent) diagnosed with breast cancer have neither a family history nor mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, according to the American Cancer Society. 4. Myth: The majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer had more than one risk factor prior to diagnosis. Fact: All women are at risk for developing breast cancer whether they have known risk factors. In fact, the majority of breast cancer patients had no known risk factors, other than being female, for this frightening disease. 5. Myth: Breast cancer is preventable. Fact: Although a drug classified as an antiestrogen called, Tamoxifen may decrease breast cancer risk in certain women, the cause of breast cancer remains unknown and is not completely preventable. The real key to surviving breast cancer is early detection and treatment. 6. Myth: Having yearly mammograms will expose me to too much radiation and cancer will occur as a result. Fact: According to the American College of Radiology, the benefits of annual mammograms far outweigh any risks that may occur because of the minute amount of radiation used during this screening and diagnostic procedure. 7. Myth: I’m not going to breastfeed because breastfeeding would increase my risk of getting breast cancer. Fact: Just the opposite is true. Breastfeeding may actually decrease the risk of perimenopausal breast cancer.

Clerk’s office under review by board of ethics ELIZABETHTOWN — Two days after reports surfaced about a criminal investigation into the Essex County Clerk’s Of fice, the Essex County Board of Supervisors debated whether they could talk about the matter in executiv e session. In the end, the boar d opted against the session, and instead decided to allow the matter to be handled through the county ethics board. A newspaper in Oswego County, also named the Valley News, r eported over the weekend that Franklin County District Attorney Der ek Champagne has been assigned as a special pr osecutor concerning possible improprieties with Essex County’s bidding process and specifically the awarding of a contract for a digital imaging and indexing system at the clerk’s office. Reports also stated that Champagne was appointed as the special prosecutor after the Essex County District Attorney’s Office recused itself from the case. The issue stems from the awarding of a contract to Info Quick Solutions of Liverpool for $76,800 annually, under the recommendation of County Clerk Joseph Provoncha, which was not the lowest bid. The investigation also pertains to e-mails that were exchanged between Info Quick representatives and the clerk’s of fice which wer e acquired by the Fulton County newspaper under the Freedom of Information Act. At the Oct. 4 meeting of the county board, attorney Daniel Manning asked for an executive session to discuss the, “employment history of a particular person or persons,” and that the matter may or may not relate to Provoncha and some of the employees within the office. “In your opinion, is it appr opriate for this board to be in executive session concerning an elected official,” questioned Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston. “I would say yes,” Manning responded. Moriah Supervisor Thomas “Tom” Scozzafava was the biggest opponent of the executive session, stating that if it were him as an elected official being questioned, he would want everything to be out in the open.
“With employees I can understand an executive session,” Scozzafava said. “I have a r eal problem going into an executive session over an elected official that we have no say over other than the budget for that department. I don’t see any char ges that have been filed. Can you go into an executive session based on what is in the newspapers? I’d rather have you bring it out here on the floor.” Lewis Supervisor David Blades asked if the matter was set to go before the recently created county ethics board. “We have an ethics board, and this should go before the ethics board and they should render a decision,” Blades said. “It is going before the board,” County Chairman Randall “Randy” Douglas said. Douglas and Manning added later that a meeting of the ethics board has been scheduled for within the

next two weeks. “It’s going to take a while, because there is a lot of stuff there,” Douglas said. “I looked at what was sent through the FOIL request and I have many concerns,” Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery-Cor ey said. “There are things that definitely need to be considered.” After discussion, no one offered a motion to adjourn to executive session to discuss the matter in private. “We will leave it up to the ethics board at this point,” Douglas concluded. During discussions, a pair of supervisors ex-

pressed their belief that the matter was intended to hurt Provoncha’s chances of being er -elected in the Nov. 8 General Election, where he is running against challenger Brent Vosburg. “(Provoncha) has given this county 20 years of service,” St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency said. “We are all acting like we know that there are charges. It’s like a vendetta and I am so upset with what is going on in here. This is a threat to his re-election campaign.” “This is old-fashioned, election-year politics,” Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said. “It’s just the same crap.”
Schroon woman to head health department Linda Beers named to post
By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors has appointed Linda Beers of Schr oon Lake as the new dir ector of the county’s public health department. The boar d voted unanimously at its Oct. 4 meeting to appoint Beers to the position. She had been serving as the director of services for children with disabilities in the department previously. “I’m thrilled and honored to be chosen to do this,” Beers said after being sworn in by Clerk to the Boar d of Supervisors Deborah Palmer during the monthly meeting of the boar d. “I look forwar d to facing the challenges in the years to come, and we have a staf f of good ladies and gentlemen who are well-trained.” Beers said that her experience within the department and working with patients with spe-
cial needs will help her in the new role. Beers enters the position as the county pr epares for another tough budget season, where the county is concerned with keeping costs low in the face of a 2 percent tax cap and after increased emergency spending in the wake of recent flooding both at the end of summer and in the spring. “The fiscal challenges ar e the ones that ar e the biggest stumbling blocks right now,” Beers said. “There is some reform coming down from the state, but we will not know what that looks like until it gets here.” Beers also said that being able to work with Linda Beers is sw orn in as the new dir ector of the and adapt to unforeseen public health issues is county’s public health depar tment by Clerk t o the also a challenge that she looks forward to findBoard of Super visors Deborah P almer.

Vincent Jones
Sept. 23, 2011 HAGUE — Vincent Jones, 91, died unexpectedly early Friday morning, Sept. 23, 2011, of a heart attack at home. Vin gr ew up in Englewood, N.J., the son of Lithuanian-born Veronica and Charles. He attended Englewood High School where he met the love of his life for the next 75 years, Mina McKee. Soon after graduating, he joined the military and proudly served in the U.S.Army Infantry 89th Division under General Patton. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and was in the first wave of infantry men to cross the Lorraine River in rubber rafts into Germany. Two-thirds of the men were killed that day, and he was never able to recall the actual crossing. He only remembered boarding the raft and landing on the other side. V in was also part of the first wave of infantry men to liberate Dauchen, the first concentration camp to be enter ed by the Allied For ces. He r ecalled the shock and disbelief of all who wer e involved during the liberation including General Patton and General Eisenhower . Vin was awarded the combat infantry man’s badge and was pr oud of the hardship that he endured fighting in the war.. After the service V in worked as an of ficer for the N.Y ./N.J. Port Authority then later in his life as a real estate broker and a co-owner of Four Star Realty in Ber genfield, N.J. He raised his family in near-
“Pretty much everyone who used the old bridge had a voice on the design of the new one,” Zoli said. Literacy Volunteers Vice Pr esident James Bullard said that, while not an author , they were pleased to have Zoli as their featur ed speaker for the sixth annual fundraiser for the program. “We have watched the two spans reaching out to meet each other acr oss the lake,” Bullard said. “T ed has inspir ed a str ucture that will serve all of the people of this ar ea for generations to come. It’s gre at that he has come home to design a brid ge her e in the heart of the Adirondacks.” Maria Burke, Literacy Volunteers director, said her gr oup was pleased to have Zoli speak. “We wer e very fortunate to have him speak about this vital link, especially during this historical moment and on a topic that personally affects so many of us in the North Country,” Burke said. “W e would like to thank Mr. Zoli for sharing his expertise and experience with us.
by Tenafly, N.J. V in and Mina r etired and moved to Mina’s family home on Graphite Mountain Road in Hague. Mina’s mother, Isabel Rand McKee, and father , Arthur McKee, wer e both born and raised in this area. Soon after they settled in Hague, Mina fell ill with cancer. Vin cared for her for the following 20 years until her death in 2010. Although spending much time taking car e of Mina, Vin was very active in the Hague community. He was both treasurer and secretary of the American Legion for 17 years giving up that position only two days before he died. He was instr umental in making the Hague Veterans Memorial Park a reality. It will be dedicated this Veterans Day. Vin was an avid golfer and played almost daily until his last day of life. He lived a full and active life until the end. He will be ememr bered for his passionate devotion to Mina, his love of golf and truly for his love of all things from his small dogs, the raspberries he tended to all the people in his life. Vin leaves behind his daughter, Sandra (of Hague), his son, Vince (of Tenafly), six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. There will be a memorial service on Saturd ay, Oct. 15, at the Hague Volunteer Fir e Department at the corner of Highway 8 and W est Hague Road. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Hague Volunteer Fire Department.

A Sure Shot
A
lthough autumn delivers a wide range of recreational opportunities, one of the true joys of the season is the opportunity to return to the field in the company of man’s best friend. Whether hunting for upland game such as pheasant, woodcock or ruffed grouse in the forests and fields, or taking to the wetlands for waterfowl such as ducks of geese; time spent in the company of a four-legged companion is always special. Hunting dogs are a unique breed of animal; they live to hunt, to point and to retrieve, and they strive to please. In fact, some anthropologists believe mankind would have never advanced beyond the stage of simple huntergatherers if not for domesticated dogs. Dogs provided the
unique services of herding, guarding and hunting, which allowed mankind to control herds of animals. Several years ago, I had an opportunity to hunt in the company of an old friend, who owns a large farm near Cobleskill, NY. Along with a wide menagerie of animals, Richard also raises pheasants. I joined him and his thirteen year old son, for a day in the field Although I had experience with both grouse and woodcock at the time; I had spent very little time afield, hunting for pheasants. However, I reckoned that knocking down a few recently released pheasants would be rather easy, given my background with grouse and woodcock. Pheasants offer a larger, and slower moving target than either grouse or woodcock. Conveniently, they also tend to fly off, in a straight away fashion. It was a cool morning, as we set off with Laddie, a German Shorthair Pointer. The dog, a retired National Field Champion, was literally bouncing off the ground with excitement. And as I recall, so was I. The dog took to the hunt like a young pup, and as he
romped through the open fields and surrounding brush, the bell on his collar sounded a cheery note. Suddenly, the bell went silent as the dog froze on point. We approached the location, with Richard’s son in the center, flanked by both of us. On command, the dog flushed a pair of pheasants, which immediately took to the wing. Before I could shoulder my shotgun, two shots sounded in the still morning air, and two birds fell to the ground. The youngster had dropped both of them, before either his father or I could even get off a shot. “Pretty good shooting”, I muttered to myself, “Maybe I’ll let the kid take a few more shots before I get serious.” It was a good thing I kept those thoughts to myself. For the remainder of the morning hunt, the pattern continued. The dog would fan the fields, until the bell went silent as the dog held on point, quivering with excitement. On command, the dog would flush birds and the darned kid knocked them out of the air like clockwork. Richard and I were mere spectators and occasional cheerleaders My initial cockiness quickly diminished, and I began to wonder if I would ever manage to get a shot off. Fortunately, I had an opportunity when a bird flushed immediately in my direction, and I took it with a single shot. Unfortunately, it was only shell I used during the entire outing. Together, we managed to harvest all but one of the released pheasants. Richard took two, which both flanked left and his kid took the others. I was humbled, darn kid. Later, as we sat in the cabin sipping hot chocolate, I told Richard how impressed I was with his son’s shooting. “He was truly incredible out there!”, I exclaimed, “You know, he’s a fine shooter, and he’s very smooth. He’s certainly got a great future ahead of him.” “Well Joe”, Richard revealed, “He’s been at it for quite a while. In fact he’s been a competitive shooter from an early age, and he’s been ranked on the National level since he was twelve. He won the New Jersey State Skeet Championship in 20 gauge for three years in a row, and just lost the 12 gauge title in a shoot-off, against a kid, who was three years older.” My face grew red with embarrassment, as Richard continued, “We are hoping he will continue with the sport. His coach claims he has the potential to make the Olympic team!”, (which he eventually did.) It was a humbling experience, and a great lesson learned! Since that time, I’ve never doubted the skill level of young shooters, nor have I failed to appreciate the pleasure of hunting over a well trained, bird dog. Most importantly, I’ve come to respect the opportunity provided by the specially designated Youth Pheasant Hunts, which DEC schedules annually, for the weekend prior to the regular season opener. Pheasant are the most popular game species utilized for introducing youth to the sport. They are easy to raise, provide great sport and make fine table fare. Youth Hunts rank high among the many contributions that local Fish and Game, or Rod and Gun Clubs provide. Prior to the opening of the regular season, there are a number of Youth Pheasant Hunts scheduled throughout the region. This year, hunts have been hosted in Putnam by the Northern Washington County Fish and Game Club, and in Willsboro, by the Willsboro Fish and Game Club. The Willsboro event, which is one of the longest standing local Youth Hunts, attracted over twenty participants. In this age of political correctness, there will always be concerns over firearms and youth. With this in mind, it was refreshing to find an announcement for a YOUTH PHEASANT HUNT posted on the Westport Central School Home Page, sandwiched between the Fitness Room Schedule and information on Youth Commission Biddy Soccer Program.

The thr ee DRCs in the ar ea have been giving support to victims of T ropical Storm Ir ene, which caused widespr ead flooding and damage to homes, businesses and o r adways on Aug. 28.

Feeney , state coordinating officer. “It is specifically designed to assist those who ar e otherwise ineligible for state unemployment benefits.” People may be eligible to apply for DUA if: •They were injured in the disaster and are unable to work, whether they are an employee or self-employed. •Their workplace was damaged or destroyed. •Their transportation to work is not available. •They cannot get to their jobs because they must travel through the affected area. •They were about to begin working, but could not because of the disaster. •They derived most of their income fro m areas affected by the hurricane and their business is down as a dire ct result of the disaster.
