Holiday Train rolling into Ti, Port Henry.

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The North Country Christmas is growing.

Sponsored by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, the North Country Christmas will be a week of holiday-related events in the community. In its second year in 2011, the event has expanded.

“Last year was very successful and a lot of people want to be involved,” explained Matt Courtright, chamber executive director.

“The community really turned out last year and we got a lot of positive feedback. Next year we may have to expand to two weeks.”

North Country Christmas will be held Nov. 28 through Dec. 4.

The arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway Holiday Train will again kick off the week.

The decorated train is scheduled to stop at the Ticonderoga train station at 3:50 p.m. and at the Port Henry train station at 5:35 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 28.

Senior housing to be built in Ticonderoga TICONDEROGA — Plans to make the former Moses Ludington

Hospital a senior citizen housing complex will move forward.

Liberty Affordable Housing Inc. and Inter-Lakes Health have announced they have received funding for the $7 million project that will turn the now-vacant facility into 31 one-bedroom units for low-income seniors. It will be called Moses Circle Senior Apartments.

Construction is scheduled to be-

gin in May 2012.

“This is a big success story for Ti,” said Deb Malaney, Ticonderoga supervisor. “To have the old hospital reconstructed for much needed housing and to also be saving the beautiful original structure is great benefit to us.”

Liberty and Ti officials began working on the project in 2006. The process included an Adirondack

TICONDEROGA — The annual Museum Store is returning this holiday season.

The store, located at the Hancock House, will be open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2, and Saturday, Dec. 3.

Participating museums will be the Ticonderoga Historical Society, Fort Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga Arts and the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum. Each will offer a variety of items from their gift shops for sale.

The community’s industrial history is on display at the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum. Commonly called the “1888 Building” the museum is housed in the only remaining structure of the old Ticonderoga Pulp and Paper mill that once sprawled across most of the lower section of the town.

Today the museum hosts an Adirondack gift shop and displays exhibits on the 200-year history of industries that built the town.

The two primary exhibits center on Ticonderoga’s papermaking industry and the graphite used in the Dixon Ticonderoga pencils. There are also exhibits on early tools, toys and games. There are plans for a major exhibit on waterpower, family interactive programs and exhibits, and a series of temporary exhibits on major industries and inventions.

The 1888 Building is an exhibit in itself. It was once headquarters to the International Paper Co. mill that operated along the adjacent LaChute River. When IP moved its mill a few miles north of the hamlet, the building was given to the town. The museum board leases the building. In the past few years the building has received a $100,000 facelift and there are ongoing plans for further improvements.

Ticonderoga Arts is located at the Hancock House. It is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The gallery currently features the work of 19 artists, more than double that of a year ago. Shoppers can find a variety of artistic works. For more information call Jane Bassett at 585-6178.

Fort Ticonderoga, site of America’s first victory in the Revolutionary War, is now one of the region’s top tourist attractions.

The fort, which features a restored 18th century fort and a museum with more than 30,000 artifacts, drew more than 86,000 visitors last summer.

The 2,000-acre not-for-profit historic site also includes the Log House Restaurant and Museum Store, the Thompson-Pell Research Center that houses the administrative offices and the research library with over 13,000 rare books and manuscripts, the Pavilion, which is slated for future restoration, and the King’s Garden at Fort Ticonderoga, the 18th-century garrison garden, a children’s garden and the Native American garden.

The Hancock House, which serves as home to the Ticonderoga 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, is also home to several exhibits highlighting community history.

The Hancock House Museum and Research Library was dedicated in 1926. The Ticonderoga Historical Society today manages this elegant structure as a regional museum and reference library. There are interesting and exciting exhibits on all four floors of the Hancock House. The modern library houses a large collection of regional material on civic, social and economic elements and also has one of the largest collections of genealogical resource materials in the region.

Holiday train coming to Ti, Port Henry Nov. 28 stops planned

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Canadian Pacific Railway Holiday Train will again kick off the holiday season in Ticonderoga and Port Henry.

“The magic of the Holiday Train is phenomenal,” said producer Randall Prescott, who is into his 10th year of putting together the entertainment. “To be able to bring this level of talent to thousands of people on this musical roadshow for food bank programs is very special and something I am proud to be a part of.”

The decorated train is scheduled to stop at the Ticonderoga train station at 3:50 p.m. and at the Port Henry train station at 5:35 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 28.

Following the train stop, the town Christmas tree will be lit on the Ticonderoga Community Building lawn at 6 p.m. The ceremony will include music and refreshments.

This will be the seventh year the train, covered with hundreds of holiday lights and carrying a live concert, will stop in Ti. It has stopped in Port Henry the past six years.

Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney suggests people park at Fort Ticonderoga and take a shuttle bus to the train station.

Ticonderoga police will be located at the entrance to Fort Ticonderoga directing traffic, Malaney said.

In Port Henry, there will be parking at the town hall, Wheelock’s, the Knights of

Columbus, NuWay Laundry and along Main Street. There will be handicap parking only at the train station. Buses will also transport people from Moriah Central School to and from the train station.

The goal of the “Holiday Train” is to collect food and money for local food banks and to raise awareness in the fight against hunger. At each event, the train provides a box car stage, musical talent and a corporate contribution to the local food bank. The community, in turn, is encouraged to donate food and funds, all of which stays in the community.

As part of the program the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce on Montcalm Street will accept food donations for the local pantry.

Now in its 11th year in North America, Canadian Pacific Railway’s two lighted “Holiday Trains” — one in the eastern U.S. and Canada and another in the Midwest — carry live musical shows performed from boxcar stages in an effort to end hunger.

Since 1999, the CP Holiday Train program has raised $5.6 million and generated almost 2.45 million pounds of food donations for local food shelves. Cash donations from North Americans totalled close to $750,000 last year alone.

Performers on the holiday train this year are Willy Porter and Sydney Grigg.

Porter released his debut CD in 1990.

In 1994, he released his second independent CD, “Dog Eared Dream.” The song “Angry Words” became a top-10 staple on Triple AAA radio stations around the country. He would ultimately sign with Private Music/BMG in 1995. European and American tours with Rickie Lee Jones, Tori Amos and The Cranberries

followed over the next year and a half.

Porter regained momentum in 1999 when he signed with San Francisco-based Six Degrees Records and released the folk-pop gem, “Falling Forward.” National tours commenced with legendary artists Paul Simon, Sting, Jeff Beck and Jethro Tull.

Porter’s combined experience at both major and independent record labels ultimately fueled the drive to release a wider variety of music on a more frequent basis, and led Porter to start his own imprint, Weasel Records, in December 2005. Since then he has released, “Available Light” and “How to Rob A Bank” through this independent label, as well as produced and released two discs for singer/songwriter Natalia Zukerman.

Grigg moved from Toronto to Nashville in 1997. It was there that she began her flirtations with country and folk music. After having been singing for most of her life, she taught herself guitar as a senior in high school. She headed to Knoxville to start her college career at the University of Tennessee, and spent the next couple of years discovering the skill and craft of songwriting and guitar playing.

At 20, Grigg returned to Nashville and paused her education to concentrate her focuses on music and began getting involved in the Nashville songwriting community. In that same year, Sydney accepted a six month-long internship with Universal Music Group and Lost Highway records.

People can follow the Holiday Train on Facebook and on Twitter @CPHolidaytrain.

Remembrance is a golden chain Death tries to break, but all in vain.

To have, to love, and then to part Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.

The years may wipe out many things But some they wipe out never.

Like memories of those happy times When we were all together.

Help a community under siege

F

rom railroad tracks to a controversial mountainside resort, more and more people outside Tupper Lake are claiming to know what’s best for this community.

It’s only 22 miles from Tupper Lake to Saranac Lake, but it might as well be 2,200 miles from the opposite direction. Average Saranac Lake and Lake Placid residents don’t usually visit unless they’re driving through. That’s why it’s so surprising outside groups are now interested in Tupper Lake.

But are these people joining the proactive, grassroots movements to reopen the ski center, rebuild the train station, and bring tourists and businesses to the Tip Top Town? Are they trying to help the community?

The answer is no. They’re motivated by their own interests. Instead of assisting a community that needs economic help, they’re swooping in with their own agendas and trying to take over.

At a time when Next Stop! Tupper Lake is working to restore the railroad tracks to Saranac Lake — extending the Adirondack Scenic Railroad’s Saranac Lake-Lake Placid excursion and bringing more tourists to town — members of the new Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates (ARTA), based in Saranac Lake, are lobbying the state to tear up those tracks so they can build a recreational path.

At a time when ARISE (Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving Their Economy) is working to support the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort project on Mount Morris, environmental groups like the Adirondack Council, based in Elizabethtown, and Protect the Adirondacks, based in Schenectady, are trying to minimize the development, in essence destroying an ambitious proposal to bring tourists and jobs to Tupper Lake.

On the surface, this feels like another case of outsiders trying to protect the Adirondacks from the Adirondackers; however, the anti-railroad and anti-ACR efforts have a new twist. Key players in these groups are Adirondack residents, and many have comfortable jobs or retirement plans. Some are even supporting both ARTA and the Adirondack Council, which shows they don’t really have Tupper Lake’s best interest in mind. It sounds like these groups are trying to protect Tup-

per Lake from the Tupper Lakers.

While there’s heavy interest outside the Blue Line in these two cases, they are simply the latest clashes in an undeclared, parkwide civil war — a fight between the haves and the have-nots, the environmentalists versus the property rights supporters. It’s a fight to determine what’s best for the Adirondack Park, and those beliefs don’t always jive with what’s best for Adirondack residents.

Today, Tupper Lake is a community under siege, and while that sounds corny from the outside, it’s all too real for the residents inside fighting for survival. For those who have faced adversity or been the underdog, this is your story.

With its industrial heritage, Tupper Lake is a blue collar town at heart, filled with friendly, honest and hard-working people.

They have a history of reinventing their economy no matter the challenge. When the softwoods ran out, they turned to hardwoods. They attracted a federal hospital. When the feds moved out, they attracted the state to run Sunmount for the developmentally disabled.

But times have been tough lately. The wood products industry has faded away.

OWD is gone, along with Ames, Hackett’s, A&P and a number of small businesses.

We shouldn’t dictate how anyone else should live. Let’s support ARISE and Next Stop! Tupper Lake. Let’s get the Adirondack Scenic Railroad to the Junction depot within three years. Let’s get the Adirondack Club and Resort up and running.

Let’s get the Tupper Lake economy back in tip-top shape.

Learn more at www.tupper-lake.com.

Now, more than ever, Tupper Lakers need your help, and they have much to offer. They know where they’re going and how to get there.

Members of ARTA, the Adirondack Council, Protect the Adirondacks and all those manning the roadblocks to Tupper Lake’s future, if you’re not going to help, please get out of the way.

Ticonderoga • Times of Ti - 7

crafters who shared their many talents by selling their handmade products at our fair.

Many people came and enjoyed the crafts, raffles, baked goods, books, white elephant treasures and the lunchtime offerings.

St. Mary’s School is thankful to all who participated in any way. That is what made the event such a widely-enjoyed success.

St. Mary's School continues to sell basket raffle tickets in anticipation of the raffle drawing?to be held?at the?Dec. 3 spaghetti dinner at the school.

St. Mary’s craft fair a success

Sr. Sharon Dalton, principal St. Mary’s School Ticonderoga

To the Times of Ti: The St. Mary’s School 22nd annual craft fair was a huge success, thanks to so many people who gave in a variety of ways.

We received donations of food from Two Brother’s Meat Market and Eddie’s Restaurant, paper and plastic products and coffee from McDonald’s, and monetary donations from White Construction and International Paper Ticonderoga mill. Some people made baked goods; others donated their time in the kitchen, country store, white elephant sale or book fair. Still others set up or cleaned up after it was over. We also appreciate the

Historian lauded To the Times of Ti: Last Sunday (Nov. 13), the Moriah Historical Society hosted a reception honoring Joan Daby as she retires after decades of

Senior Housing

service as Moriah town historian. It was a jolly affair, surrounded by the artifacts of Moriah’s proud mining and iron processing history on display in the Iron Center Museum.

Everyone in Moriah is proud of their museum. But few people are aware of the role that Joan Daby played in the displays that show where the ore came from, how the miners extracted it from the ground, and how the local furnaces and sintering plants made it ready for steel mills as far away as Halifax, Nova Scotia.

I have been privileged to work on several of these displays over the years, and I know that, without Joan’s tireless efforts, no one would be able to see the faces of the workers, or the immensity of the travelling crane: details that bring the heritage of the community to life. Moriah residents owe her a debt of gratitude for her leadership of the (town) historical society, for setting up the archive upstairs from the museum, and for getting the photos out into the community in the annual calendar.

But the gratitude goes further afield, to those of us in neighboring towns who can learn the history of our area and to visitors, many of whom get off the train wondering where they are and can find out during a visit to the Iron Center.

Thank you, Joan!

“Project financing is anticipated to close in late April 2012 allowing for construction to start in May,” Gordon said. “The renovations will be completed within 18 months with rent-up to occur in the fall of 2013.”

Moses Circle Senior Apartments will include modern, energy efficient apartments with central air conditioning and EnergyStar appliances. The building will include an elevator, large community room with kitchen, outdoor covered portico overlooking Moses Circle, a computer room, laundry facilities and management office. The entire building will be handicap accessible with four units fully adapted for people with mobility impairments.

The project will include onsite parking, new landscaping with seating areas and a walking path surrounding the building that will also connect to the crosswalks on Montcalm Avenue. Liberty Affordable Housing Inc. is a not-for-profit developer with over 1,200 units of quality affordable housing across New York State.

from page 1 Howe Estates senior housing complex.

The plan is for the senior apartments to be operated by CRM Rental management, a division of Liberty, which now operates Lord Howe Estates in conjunction with Inter-Lakes Health.

“Moses Circle Senior Apartments is moving forward thanks to the support of Sharon Reynolds from PRIDE of Ticonderoga, town of Ticonderoga Supervisor Debra Malaney and former Supervisor Robert Dedrick,” said Rich Gordon, Liberty regional property manager. “New York State Sen. Betty Little and Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward have been strong advocates of the project since its inception. In addition, Congressmen Chris Gibson and Bill Owens have backed the project, along with U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.”

Moses Circle Senior Apartments is one of 35 projects chosen statewide to receive funding to build and preserve affordable housing under New York State Homes and Community Renewal’s competitive 2011 Unified Funding round.

Funding for the project is through New York State Homes and Community Renewal with a $1.36 million low-interest HOME loan and an allocation of federal low-income housing tax credits. The tax credits will be converted to a private equity investment of $5.66 million.

Pictured at right: Richard Gordon explains plans to make the former Moses Ludington Hospital a senior citizen housing complex. Liberty Affordable Housing Inc. and Inter-Lakes Health have announced they have received funding for the $7 million project that will turn the now-vacant facility into 31 one-bedroom units for low-income seniors. It will be called M oses Circle Senior Apartments.

TICONDEROGA — “Hot Chocolate at a Cold Fort” will explore 18th-century holiday traditions at Fort Ticonderoga Saturday, Dec. 3.

Visitors will have an opportunity to meet with historic interpreters portraying Continental soldiers from Pennsylvania in 1776 and experience how very different Christmas at that time was compared to modern holiday traditions. People can learn about Saint Crispin’s Day from a shoemaker at the fort and delight in the simple holiday pleasures the frontier garrison enjoyed. They can also taste a sample of hot chocolate based on a recipe from the 18th-century and experience a celebration at Fort Ticonderoga.

The event will be held 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Regular admission rates apply. Ticonderoga residents are free.

Much of Ticonderoga’s 1776-1777 winter garrison was composed of soldiers of the 4th Pennsylvania battalion. The soldiers were from the vicinity of Chester, Pa. In large part they were Quaker or Anglican. For the few Anglicans among these men, Christmas was an occasion for a feast, but not an extraordinary one. For the Quakers, who largely rejected Anglican traditions, Christmas was a day like any other. However, just as

Police make drug arrests Locals face charges TICONDEROGA — A police drug sweep resulted in 13 arrests — eight local people — last week in Essex County.

The police action began with four arrests Nov. 10, another Nov. 14 and eight more Nov. 18.

Seven people were arrested and arraigned on narcotics charges Friday in a drug sweep in Essex County.

Locals arrests include: —Kim E. Lambert, 54, of Ticonderoga, two counts of fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, and two counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, hydrocodone.

She was committed to Essex County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash or bond.

—Lynn M. Cioffe, 48, of Ticonderoga,

today’s American troops serving in foreign lands seek comfort in simple pleasures during the holidays, the 4th Pennsylvania battalion soldiers at Fort Ticonderoga heartily enjoyed basic comforts that reminded them of home.

By the end of November 1776, Ticonderoga was covered by winter’s first blanket of snow. The 3,500 men remained to garrison Fort Ticonderoga, Mount Hope and Mount Independence under the command of Col. Anthony Wayne watched wearily as Massachusetts and New York militia troops departed for home at the end of their terms of enlistment. Other Continental troops departed to join Gen. Washington in the milder winter climate of New Jersey. Settling in for a long winter guarding Lake Champlain from attack, Wayne moved the men of his 4th Pennsylvania battalion into the sparse comforts of the Fort’s stone barracks.

To learn more about “Hot Chocolate at a Cold Fort” visit www.FortTiconderoga.org or call 585-2821.

The holiday experience at Fort Ticonderoga is part of the second annual North Country Christmas celebration Nov. 28 to Dec. 4. For details on the North Country Christmas visit www.ticonderogany.com

She was taken to jail in lieu of $5,000 cash or bond.

—Nathan M. Peters, 25, of Ticonderoga, fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, and fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, hydrocodone. In lieu of $5,000 cash or bond, he was taken to county jail.

—Maranda T. McCaughin, 21, of Ticonderoga, fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and criminal possession of a controlled substance, Adderall.

In lieu of $5,000 cash or bond, he was taken to county jail.

—Theodore D. Mattison, 45, of Port Henry, two counts each of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and criminal possession of a controlled sub-

stance, oxycodone.

He also was sent to county jail in lieu of $5,000 cash or bond.

—Zack A. Muroff, 26, of Ticonderoga, third-degree criminal sale and criminal possession of a controlled substance, oxymorphone. He was arraigned Nov. 9 then released back to the custody of New York State Department of Correctional Services.

— Edward J. Wojewodzic Sr, 58, of Port Henry, two counts of third degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, oxycodone.

He was committed to the county jail.

The sweep followed an investigation, said State Police Troop B Bureau of Criminal Investigation Robert LaFountain, by State Police and the Essex County Drug Task Force, which includes members of Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and Ticonderoga police departments and the Essex County Sheriff’s Department.

Police said the arrests centered on the possession and/or sale of controlled substances, which in most cases were prescription drugs. They included hydrocodone, morphine, oxycodone, Suboxone and fentanyl, as well as marijuana.

Ticonderoga students bake bread for others

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A group of Ticonderoga residents enjoyed fresh, home-made bread with their Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Ticonderoga Elementary School students, with help from the King Arthur Flour company, learned how to bake bread during an assembly Nov. 18. Students were then given the necessary ingredients and asked to bake two loaves of bread at home — one for their family and another to be donated to residents of Lord Howe Estates and Montcalm Manor.

St. Mary’s School and Putnam Central School students also took part in the program.

Shari O’Bryan, a Ticonderoga teacher and avid baker, arranged the program.

“There are several things I hope to gain from this assembly,” O’Bryan said. “First, is probably for students to experience the joy of baking their own bread and from having a project that they can do at home with a family member.

“Second, I love the idea that they bake one loaf for home, and then bring one back to donate to members of our community,” she said. “It really is never too early to get kids thinking about giving back, and how rewarding that is. It’s also nice that the assembly will address some math and science

as well.”

The King Arthur Flour Life Skills Bread Baking Program visits schools across the country. In the past decade it has taught more than 155,000 children how to bake bread. Students bake the bread at home with their families, then bring a loaf back to school to be donated to a local food pantry or others.

King Arthur Flour also incorporates whole grains into the demonstration, teaching children what whole grains are, why they’re important in a healthy diet, and how to use them in everyday baking. Each student receives bags of both King Arthur All-Purpose Flour and King Arthur 100% Organic White Whole Wheat Flour to help them bake healthy breads at home.

King Arthur Flour is based in Norwich, Vt. Paula Gray, King Arthur baking instructor, said bread baking teaches many skills.

“It’s a hands-on way for kids to learn math, science and cultural traditions all while having fun,” Gray said. “The program helps involve children with community service, too. They’re learning the value and the joy of giving something back to the community. Food pantries are delighted to have loaves of freshly baked homemade bread to offer the people they serve.”

O’Bryan learned about the King Arthur program while taking a class last summer at the company’s Norwich facility.

“It was a two day wood-fired baking class,

and I loved it,” she said. “During the course of that class, I struck up a conversation with the instructor's assistant. Her name was Gina, and she is an employee there at the baking center. When she learned that I was a teacher, she asked me if I knew about their free outreach program, which I didn’t.

“They travel around the country educating kids about baking, and healthy eating,”

O’Bryan said. “I filled out an application, had many conversations with Paula Gray, the director of the program, and was approved for King Arthur to come here to our school.”

King Arthur Flour, founded in 1790, is America’s oldest flour company and the largest educator of home bakers in the world.

TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga and Champlain College are entering the second year of a growing collaboration, utilizing the needs of a non-profit institution while providing students at the Vermont institution with realworld experience as they prepare to enter the workforce.

“Talk about an effective engagement for student success!

By employing a real-world competitive agency model, students are truly motivated to succeed,” said Nancy Kerr, media communication program director at Champlain College.

Kerr ’s senior-level students are currently working on a public relations project for Fort Ticonderoga.

The students are working with Lauren Grimaldi, from Brawn Media, on developing a viral social media campaign for the fort.

“With the increasing use of online campaigns as an effective marketing strategy,” Grimaldi said, “we gave them the challenge to create a viral campaign for the fort. Working with the students at Champlain College has been a great learning experience on both ends.”

Champlain College senior Alisha Durgin, speaking of the project this semester, said, “Overall, the research we did was very informative and even surprising. Just actually doing the research and collecting the results on our own was a great learning experience.”

A final product from the group of students is due in December.

During the spring 2011 semester, students from one of Elaine Young’s marketing courses worked with Fort Ticonderoga and staff from Brawn Media developing potential marketing efforts for the fort’s temporary exhibition “The Art of War: Ticonderoga as Experience through the Eyes of America’s Great Artists.”

Young, assistant dean in Champlain College’s Division of Business, noted that, “The opportunity to have students work with an organization provides enhanced learning outcomes through real world application. It’s a hallmark of a Champlain education and wouldn’t be successful without true partnerships with mission-driven organizations such as Fort Ticonderoga.”

Young continued, “Senior marketing majors were able to work closely with Fort Ti to help them plan for a major event. They learned the intricacies of working with a client with specific needs and had the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way to the success of the event for Fort Ti. You can’t get this kind of experience and learning in a classroom setting by itself. It is an excellent way for students to fully link theory to practice and they were able to make meaningful connections which will stay with them as they enter their careers.”

Kerr concurs, relating that students “come away with valuable skills and knowledge to make the transition to a work environment. Working with Fort Ticonderoga this semester, the Champlain College students in the Public Relations Campaign Development class are enthusiastically working to help promote Fort Ticonderoga to the public, while gaining valuable professional skills. What could be better?”

The Champlain College collaboration is an example of a role Fort Ticonderoga envisions for college and university partnerships that utilize Fort Ticonderoga as a “learning campus” for both undergraduate and graduate students in multiple disciplines, not just history and historic site administration.

‘Hope’ events to assist cancer patient Dec. 17 and Jan. 7 in Schroon Lake

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON — Hope is the theme of a pair of events scheduled to assist a local cancer patient.

A “Holiday of Hope” will be held Saturday, Dec. 17, at the Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club and a “Night of Hope” will be held Saturday, Jan. 7, at Schroon Lake Central School.

Both events will raise money for Kelly DeZalia, a North Hudson resident, who has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.

“Let’s prove to Kelly and his family that no one fights alone and we are all here when needed,” said Edna Bowers, who is helping organize the events.

A “Holiday of Hope” will begin at noon. It will include a soup luncheon, photos with Santa, raffles, door prizes, blind auctions, bake sales, Chinese auctions, silent auctions, a stocking stuffer workshop and a fruitcake eating contest.

“There will be something for everyone so please come join the fun for a worthy cause,” Bowers said.

The “Night of Hope” will be a concert featuring folksinger Roy Hurd at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium.

People who wish to make donations or to help with either event can

call 532-9236, 532-0510, 532-7603 or 532-9890.

DeZalia, age 45, works for the town of North Hudson. He and his wife, Stephanie, have two children, Miranda and Jordan.

Diagnosed last fall, DeZalia is completing three months of chemotherapy, Bowers said. Shortly after Christmas he will have surgery in Albany and will then go through another three months of chemotherapy treatments.

Bowers said a committee of family and friends has been formed to organize fundraising events. Besides the “Holiday of Hope” and “Night of Hope” other activities are being planned, she said.

DeZalia’s plight gained attention last Oct. 6 when the Schroon Lake and Westport girls soccer teams dedicated their game to him. DeZalia’s daughter Miranda plays on the Schroon Lake squad. Both teams wore pink as they took part in a Cancer Awareness Game as part of National Cancer Awareness Month.

The coaches and players from both schools originally hoped the game would raise awareness for breast cancer, but DeZalia’s diagnosis changed the plan to focus on general cancer awareness and help.

“The team was very excited for the event, but when we found out that Miranda DeZalia’s father, Kelly, had been diagnosed and it hit home with the team and with Miranda, we knew that we wanted to turn this into something that we could do to sup-

Both events will raise money for Kelly DeZalia, a North Hudson resident, who has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. port the family,” said Mary Lou Shaughnessy, Schroon Lake girls soccer coach.

Kelly DeZalia is shy about publicity, Bowers said, but he appreciates the community support — like the

soccer game dedication.

“At first, my dad was kind of skeptical about the dedication,” Miranda said of her father. “Then he decided that it would be an honor to represent those that have been affected by can-

cer. The team has been very supportive of our family, and we wanted to raise awareness for the disease.”

Kelly and wife Stephanie attended the game along with other family members and friends.

Hit-and-run kills woman in I-87 accident I-87 accident in Schroon SCHROON — A woman died in a hit-and-run Interstate 87 accident in the town of Schroon Nov. 20.

Mary J. Morrissey, 65, of Mechanicville, died after the vehicle she was traveling in was struck by another car on I-87 just south of the Ticonderoga exit, according to state police.

The driver, her brother, Thomas E. LaFountain, was injured.

LaFountain, 59, of Mechanicville, told police he was driving his 2000 Chevy Prism northbound when his vehicle was struck from behind by another vehicle.

Upon being struck, LaFountain’s car went off the east side of the road and hit a guard rail, pushing it to the west side of the road, where it went over into the median and crashed into an earthen embankment, according to police.

Morrissey was pronounced dead at the scene.

LaFountain suffered facial lacerations and complained of pain. He was transported to Glens Falls Hospital for treat-

ment and later released.

The State Police Troop B Collision Reconstruction Unit and Lewis-based State Police in the Bureau of Criminal Investigation are investigating the accident.

The vehicle that struck LaFountain’s car may be a lightcolored passenger car, possibly a Toyota, with a partial license plate of DWD, police reported. The state of the license was not known.

Police urged anyone with information to contact them at 873-2750.

North Hudson supervisor race changes NORTH HUDSON — Absentee and write-in ballots have apparently changed the outcome of the North Hudson supervisor race.

Democrat Hugh Myrtle led Republican Ronald Moore, 72-69, when polls closed on Election Day with five absentee and write-in ballots outstanding.

Those ballots were counted by the Essex County Board of Elections Nov. 16 with all five going to Moore.

That gives Moore the apparent victory by a 7472 count.

A representative for Myrtle challenged one absentee ballot from a disabled voter, but the election board dismissed the challenge.

One military ballot was sent out, but has not been returned. The due date for that ballot is Nov. 21.

Myrtle has indicated he may challenge the results in court.

All results remain unofficial until certified by the county board of elections.

County supervisors start to trim the budget

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors started to look into trimming a 2012 tentative budget that called for a $23,851,238 tax levy.

The number represents a 9.5 percent increase to the net cost of the 2012 budget over the $21,786,435 required in 2011.

However, without making use of fund balance or any other transfers, the number represents an initial 62 percent increase over the 2011 tax levy, which was $14,724,045.

Lowering that number was the job the Budget Committee at the county started to work on during their first meeting Nov. 17.

“We have to be concerned about our duties to the taxpayers,” Joyce Morency, St. Armand Supervisor and chair of the budget committee said.

County Manager Daniel Palmer said that he had already worked to trim the budget from what departments had requested, which totaled a $28,186,363 increase to the levy.

“There are some positions that were not filled that were the year previously,” Palmer said.

“Went through every equipment line for cuts. At that point, I decided that the appropriate thing to

do was present the tentative budget with everything that we currently provide at the minimum amount that it would take to keep them.”

In 2011, the tax rate for county residents was $2.13 per $1,000 of assessed property value. Under the first draft of the tentative budget, that would rise to $3.53. And $156,000 is average residential property value in Essex County County Budget Officer Thomas “Tom” Scozzafava said that while the county portion of the tax rate is low, people have a perception that taxes are to high as a whole.

“It is the overall impact, not just the county portion,” Scozzafava said. “They don’t really care if you try and separate this out, it’s what they pay in total taxes. The public perception is that we are living way beyond our means and we pay these big fat salaries to the department heads.

“The reality is, most people pay less in property taxes to the county portion than they did in 2004,” he added. “I tried to use that point with one of my constituents and it didn’t fly.”

Palmer gave a list of programs to the supervisors that were “items that we are able to do something with one way or the other.”

In trying to find cuts, the committee voted to cut funding to contracted agencies by 22.5 percent across the board.

Delivery Always Available

The committee also voted to eliminate $500,000 in equipment spending under the highway department portion of the budget.

The committee also looked into having a tax sale, which could generate up to $1 million in the collection of unpaid taxes in the first months of 2012, according to Morency.

“We are trying to bring in revenue that we already have on the book,” Morency said. “We are looking hard at a three-year tax sale.

The committee also talked about having an amnesty period, but Palmer said he was concerned about setting a precedent.

“My concern is tax flow,” Palmer said. “If we do one amnesty, people are going to say that they are going to do another amnesty and we will just wait until then to pay our taxes.”

Palmer added that he would also look at putting $3.5 million in fund balance into the budget to help bring the levy down.

Ti harrier national runner up Berube second at NCAA meet

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Lee Berube was a thousand miles away racing for a national championship, but Ticonderoga High School was filled with cheers as he battled stride for stride to the finish line.

Berube, a Ti High graduate who is now a senior at SUNYGeneseo, finished second in the NCAA Division III cross country national championship race in Oshkosk, Wis., Nov. 18.

Coming from way behind, Berube caught eventual winner Ben Sathre of St. Thomas College of Minnesota with about a mile to go. The two exchanged the lead several times before Sathre pulled away in the final meters for the win.

Back in Ticonderoga, family and friends cheered and cried as the tense race unfolded on a large video screen in the high school. Chants of “Lee Berube! Lee Berube!” rang out as the Putnam resident caught the leader. The gathering then fell mostly silent as the stress of the last mile reached across the webcast. Finally, tears and disappointment gave way to pride.

Sathre won the five-mile race in 23 minutes, 44.27 seconds.

Berube was second in 23:49.6. It was a blistering pace; one of the fastest in the history of the championship race.

Berube’s time would have won the 2010 championship by nearly 40 seconds. His time was a personal best for the distance by nearly a minute.

“He ran a great race,” said Jay Wells, Ticonderoga assistant track and cross country coach, who ran in the national championship race himself a decade ago. “He gave it everything he could, just as I expected. He should be happy with his race.”

Berube is pleased, although not totally.

“Initially, I was disappointed,” he said after the run. “But being second in the country is a big accomplishment. It’s something I can look back on and be proud.”

Sathre sprinted to the front of the pack at the gun. Running a 4:30 first mile, he opened up 100 yards on the field.

Berube ran with the pack the first two miles, expecting the rabbit to die. Sathre never did.

“I figured he’d come back to us; I didn’t think he hold that (pace),” Berube said. “At about two miles I decided I had to go get him.”

Berube made his move alone, leaving the pack behind and making it a two-man race. He knew Sathre would be tough to beat.

“He finished second (at the national championship) last year and was undefeated this year,” Berube. “He’s a really strong runner. I knew it was going to be a battle.”

It was.

“We just ran together that last mile or so,” Berube said.

“I’d make a little move and he’d make a move. We traded the lead three, four, I don’t know how many times. It was a great battle — it was the most exciting race I’ve ever run.”

Adding to the excitement was the team race. Berube led Geneseo to the fourth place finish.

“That’s so cool,” Berube said of his team finish. “We wanted to show we were one of the best teams in the country. We did.”

Berube was named All America for his efforts. It’s the second consecutive season he’s been a cross country All America. He has also earned All America honors five times in track.

The runner-up finish at nationals capped a strong season for Berube. He won his third straight State University of New York Athletic Conference championship and his second straight Atlantic Region championship this fall.

Berube is coming home this week to celebrate Thanksgiving, then it’s the indoor track season. His first meet is in two

weeks at Cornell University, where he hopes to run the 14:20 time for 5-kilometers needed to qualify for the NCAA indoor track championships.

Cook shines Former Ticonderoga High School runner Josh Cook ran a 28:08 to finish 30th overall and lead North Country Community College Nov. 5 in the NJCAA Cross-Country Championships held at Holyoke Community College.

Cook, also a Putnam resident, set a personal best by 40 seconds.

The winner of the five-mile race was freshman Robert Allen, of the Community College of Rhode Island, with a 25:23.

Tournaments to open hoop season

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The local high school basketball community will be hosting tournaments to help several causes over the next month.

The early season schedule includes a pair of Alzheimers Awareness Basketball Tournaments that will take place Nov. 29-30 and Dec. 1 and Dec. 3, along with a Hoops for Hope Tournament which will take place on Dec. 5, Dec. 16 and Dec. 17, with proceeds benefiting local hospice and ALS research.

Alzheimers Awareness John Konowitz spent 27 years coaching high school basketball, 12 of those at AuSable Valley. Six years ago, he found out that his wife, Judy, had been diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease and looked for a way to help bring awareness and funding for the fight against the disease.

Using basketball as a way to help, he created a basketball tournament for girls and boys teams.

The girls tournament will be held at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, starting on Tuesday, Nov. 29, with a 5 p.m. tip between the Ticonderoga Lady Sentinels and Westport Lady Eagles, followed by a 6:30 p.m. game between the Schroon Lake Lady Wildcats and the host Lady Lions. The consolation game will be played at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 30, while the

Back to the land A s families gather together to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, the occasion provides a most appropriate opportunity to take stock of the past.

There is no doubt that Americans are adventurers, our ancestors, who ventured across the oceans to settle these, once wild lands, have imbibed us with this spirit.

It is difficult to imagine the extent of their journey, especially in this current ‘instant era,’ where needs can be satisfied or goods are available, “on credit, toll free, 24/7, with free shipping.”

Our current patterns of existence have become so comfortable and so convenient that it is impossible to imagine the difficulties our ancestors encountered, when they first disembarked in Plymouth, on a cold November morning in 1620.

The land was much rougher at the time, and the times were much tougher. Accordingly, the people were appropriately seasoned to such hardships, and they learned how to coexist with nature, and how to utilize the bounty it provides.

They couldn't receive weather updates over the television, or text a message home on some, miniature handheld contraption.

Instead, they understood natural patterns, and they learned

championship game will follow.

The boys Alzheimers Awareness Tournament will take place at Moriah Central School on Thursday, Dec. 1, when the Ticonderoga Sentinels play the Peru Indians at 5:30 p.m. and the Westport Eagles play the host Vikings at 7 p.m. Consolation and championship games will be held at the same times on Saturday, Dec. 3.

“Jim and Steve Stahl have graciously arranged for all eight games to be refereed by their board of officials at no charge,” Konowitz said. “We are also raffling off at each tournament many items including four Syracuse vs. Connecticut women’s tickets and for Syracuse vs West Virginia men’s tickets. Also, Massachusetts General Hospital will match all funds we raise toward research for neuro-degenerative disorders.”

Hoops for Hope The annual Hoops for Hope Tournament at AuSable Valley Central School will start early this year, as an opening game between the Willsboro Warriors and host Patriots will be played at 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 5, preceded by the junior varsity contest between the two schools.

On Friday, Dec. 16, the Schroon Lake Wildcats will play against the Harwood junior varsity and varsity squads at 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., respectively.

On Saturday, Dec. 17, the junior varsity consolation game will take place at 12:30 p.m., followed by the junior varsity championship game at 2 p.m., the varsity consolation game at 3:30 p.m. and the varsity championship game at 5 p.m.

All the money earned is donated to Hospice and ALS foundation, according to AuSable boys head coach Jamie Douglass.

how to live off the land. It was not an instant accomplishment, and the effort continues to be part of an ongoing process.

By comparison, modern day society has become soft, and relatively clueless to nature's signals. It is not surprising, for as much as we appreciate nature, we also strive for comfort. We may want to rough it, but we prefer to rough it easy.

Unfortunately, this comfort loving train of thought has been embraced by the younger generation, whose spirit of adventure is now largely satisfied by the click of a button on a search engine.

The trials and tribulations of travel have largely been removed, as modern day society has largely pasteurized our spirit of adventure, and homogenized the nature of our travels.

Although we may still be adventurers, at heart, our increasingly hectic lives no longer provides us with opportunities to truly enjoy the special places where we can find both recreation and solitude.

It is also disturbing to discover how much further removed the next generation is from the land.

Childhood obesity has doubled over the past 30 years for preschoolers and adolescents, and more than tripled for children aged 6-11.

Although the average American kid can recognize over 1,000 corporate logos by the age of 10, they can’t identify 10 animals, plants or trees in their own backyard.

In the 1970’s, over 70 percent of kids walked or biked to school, currently less than 20 percent of kids walk or bike to

school today.

Across rural America, our children must be well versed in the opportunities for positive natural entertainment, for without such skills, the lure of a host of negative recreational opportunities will be difficult to ignore.

In the more urban, and suburban areas, there is often a wide range of recreational options available for children, ranging from ballparks to recreation centers, and from movie theatres to malls, to organized sports leagues. With a readily available host of options, there is usually something for a kid to do.

However, in rural settings, the list of “organized recreational options” is quite limited. Country kids must learn to make their own fun, and as a result, any kid that lacks the basic fundamentals for outdoor travel and recreation is severely disadvantaged.
