fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake will bid adieu to 2012 and welcome the new year.

The community will host a First Night celebration Monday, Dec. 31. The event will be sponsored by the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce.

“We want to encourage as many families as possible to take part,” said Tony Kostecki, who is co-chair of First Night along with Sharon Piper. “We’ve planned a fun, family-oriented celebration.”

First Night will take place at Schroon Lake Central School and in the town park.

There will be a sock hop with a DJ in the school gym from 6 to 8:30 p.m. There will be face painting and craft stations 6 to 7:30 p.m. in school classrooms. The Adirondack Shakespeare Company will perform in the school auditorium at 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. Food will also be available.

The Adirondack Shakespeare Company program will be geared toward families, Kostecki said.

“It’ll be a family, variety

following a Times of Ti article alerting people of the situation, more than $3,000 and many food donations came pouring in.

“Those donations have allowed us to keep going,” said Sue Morse, pantry director. “We really want to express our thanks to all the people who helped us. It’s our Christmas miracle.”

The Moriah Food Pantry got more good news Nov. 30 when the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train visited.

Canadian Pacific made a $1,000 donation to the food shelf and people attending contributed an-

other $240 in cash along with food items.

The Port Henry Fire Department then made a $500 donation in memory of Staff Sgt. Venne, age 29, of Port Henry who was killed in Paktiya Province, Afghanistan, Nov. 3. Venne was a Port Henry firefighter.

“We’re in good shape right now,” Morse said of the food pantry. “We’ll have to watch our dollars in the new year, but all the families we serve will have a good Christmas because of the generous CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Ticonderoga students awarded for calendar sales

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A group of Ticonderoga students have completed a community service project, while helping themselves.

Ticonderoga Middle School seventh graders recently sold more than 530 calendars for the community’s First 250 Year Committee. Proceeds from the 2013 historical calendars will help pay for the group’s “signature event” during the 2014 celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the community.

“We’re still working on our signature event,” said Bob Dedrick, committee member. “We know it’ll involve a parade and fireworks, but we’re still working on the other details. We want it to be a really special event.”

Ticonderoga was first settled in 1764 when King George III divided 6,000 acres of land around Fort Ticonderoga among three officers at the fortess. John Stoughton was the first to settle in Ti. His land grant is dated July 24, 1764.

The committee, co-sponsored by the Ticonderoga Historical Society and the Ti Heritage Museum, has produced the calendar that looks at a particular part of local history each month from November 2012 through December 2013.

In addition we encourage everyone to use the calendar and contact the chamber when choosing dates to host an event.”

Events can be submitted by emailing information to the chamber at chamberinfo@ticonderogany.com or sending it to the chamber office on Montcalm Street in Ticonderoga.

Ti Elks to deliver Christmas dinners to more than 250 families

Penny and Dave Carr of the Ticonderoga Elks help prepare Christmas dinner. Each Christmas, the Elks provide a traditional Christmas dinner to over 250 families in need.

TICONDEROGA —? ’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring — except for the Elks.

Santa isn’t the only one hard at work the night before Christmas.

Thanks to an Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant, Ticonderoga Lodge No. 1494 will continue its tradition of helping those in need on Christmas Eve. Each Christmas, the Elks provide a traditional Christmas dinner to over 250 families in need.

Elks start Christmas Eve at 6 a.m. by packing boxes with turkey, potatoes, vegetables, fresh oranges and more. Elks and volunteers then form a human assembly line to load the boxes of food into waiting trucks, which deliver the Christmas dinners to families in the surrounding communities.

“Our lodge is a team, working together to give back to our community,” said Peggy Lamb, who chairs the Ti Elks’ effort. “The Gratitude Grant has helped us do just that.”

The Elks couldn’t have served as many community members in need without the help of local elves.? Ticonderoga Elementary School third-grade students col-

lected more than 90 bags of groceries for the Christmas project. College students home for winter break pitched in by packing the food.

“This joint effort not only showcases the lodge as a leader in community service, but also allows the lodge to instill the spirit of giving in others,” Lamb said.

The Elks National Foundation helps lodges serve their communities by offering $2,000 Gratitude Grants. Lodges are eligible to apply for Gratitude Grants after meeting the national president’s per-capita goal for foundation giving.

Putnam lakeshore property for sale LGLC selling land as part of conservation agreement

to purchase one of the few remaining large shoreline properties on Lake George,” Williams said. “Enjoy the stunning views of Anthony’s Nose from your very private property. The buyer will purchase 8.08 acres of land and over 350 feet of shoreline on a beautiful private cove on Lake George. This property is located in Putnam, just southeast of the community of Glenburnie on Lake George.”

The land is located on the north side of Warrick Road and is within walking distance of nearly 900 acres of preserved land including Anthony’s Nose, the Last Great Shoreline and Gull Bay Preserve.

More than 99 species of birds inhabit the land with Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons nesting on the cliffs of Record Hill, according to the LGLC. “Working with the buyer, a mutually agreed upon plan will be developed that permits one house site, ancillary uses such as garage, driveway, dock, and viewshed clearing,” Williams said. “The remaining land will be protected under a perpetual conservation easement. The easement will prohibit further subdivision, but permit sustainable forestry. This beautiful forested parcel could supply plenty of wood for your fireplace. Three moorings and docks are permitted under the reg-

fred@denpubs.com PUTNAM — Looking for a lastminute Christmas gift? How about property on Lake George?

The Lake George Land Conservancy is selling an 8-acre plot with 350 feet of lakeshore in the town of Putnam.

The sale is part of the conservancy’s efforts to protect land along the lake.

“The Lake George Land Conservancy continues to explore new ways to protect land,” said Nancy Williams, LGLC executive director.

“A generous landowner has offered a challenge. If LGLC can find a buyer for one of their three subdivided house lots, the owner will agree to protect the remaining two from development with a conservation easement. That’s over 200 feet of protected shoreline and over five acres of land that will remain protected.”

The asking price for the lot is $494,990.

“We are very pleased to offer this incredible opportunity for a buyer

ulations of Lake George Park Commission; however, one mooringright will be retained by the current land owners.”

The property has over 380 feet of road frontage on Warrick Road, a shared driveway, power available

within the property and an approved septic area. The town of Putnam maintains the gravel road and plows during the winter. There are recorded protective covenants and a driveway maintenance agreement.

The Lake George Land Conser-

Interested parties can contact Williams at the Lake George Land Conservancy at PO Box 1250, Bolton Landing 12814 or by calling 6449673.

Ticonderoga High School students, along with the Ticonderoga Kiwanis, collected food and donations to benefit the Ticonderoga Food Pantry recently.

Merry Christmas!

T

his week people around the world will celebrate Christmas.

Regardless of one’s religious beliefs, there’s no denying Christmas is the world’s preeminent holiday.

Its ideals of peace, love and joy are transcendent. And who doesn’t enjoy giving and receiving gifts? The look on a child’s face on Christmas morning makes the allure of Christmas easy to understand.

Mankind has done its best to diminish Christmas over the centuries. War, hatred, prejudice, commercialism and a slew of other problems have taken a toll on us. Last week 20 elementary school children in Connecticut were murdered. That incomprehensible tragedy has no doubt cast a long shadow on this season’s holiday, but nothing has kept Christmas from steamrolling through time. We anticipate Christmas each year just as our parents, grandparents and thousands of other ancestors did.

Christmas has certainly changed. While the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus remains the central aspect of the holiday, there’s no denying it has become much more secular, much more commercialized. But through all the changes, Christmas remains the most important day on the calendar.

This week families all over the world will gather to share the Christmas holiday. Dinners, gifts and stories from Christmas past will be part of the celebrations.

These are particularly good days for most children. As Christmas nears their excitement builds. Just one more holiday television special and they may explode in a fit of spontaneous human enthusiasm.

Christmas is all good for children. They’re not stressed about holiday shopping, not worried about getting the house ready for company.

It should be just as good for adults. While it’s bound to be a few hectic days leading up to Christmas, take a few moments here and there to relax and enjoy the holiday spirit all around us. No amount of stress will keep Christmas from coming.

We know that from the Dr. Seuss classic “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” It’s the story of the Grinch, an evil creature determined to stop Christmas from coming, who becomes a good-hearted being who finally understands the meaning of Christmas.

After stealing all the village’s Christmas gifts the Grinch realizes he failed; Christmas had arrived anyway.

“Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store.

“Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”

Christmas certainly does mean more. We shouldn’t need fictional children’s stories to remind us of that.

As we celebrate perhaps we should think back to the very first Christmas. It gave the world hope of something better, much better.

It placed love above all else. Love and hope. There can be no greater gifts.

Merry Christmas!

We must turn tragedy into hope

T

his is normally the time of year when our thoughts turn to family, joy and the Christmas miracle, born in a manger some 2,000 years ago. Christmas 2012 will unfortunately forever be marred and remembered for the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School that took the lives of 20 young children and six brave teachers who desperately tried in vain to shield those lives from the evil that exists within our society.

Politically, some may disagree with the term evil and choose instead to excuse the young man blamed for this event as being disturbed. But while many talk of armed guards at all schools, banning weapons of all kinds and greater protection, common sense tells us that events like these can never be completely prevented. Society must look at the culture we’ve created, the attitudes we’ve taken toward each other, the lack of respect and even the anger expressed when we disagree, on even the simplest of issues.

Many will ask where was God? How could he allow this to happen? The Son of God made it clear, His Father ’s Kingdom is not of the earth. Man has been given dominion over this land. God gave us 10 simple rules to live by, but politically man has continued to say we know better. God did not allow this tragedy to happen. He has given us freedom of choice, but how we choose to use that freedom is all about our every day lives and the values and beliefs engrained in our culture.

Over the last few years, on this our last issue before Christmas, I have written about my wishes for mankind. I hope you’ll join me this year in adding them to your wish list and together maybe we’ll see fewer of these horrific, unexplainable events that shake and shape this world we must all share.

I wish for greater respect for all humans. That those who carry weapons and seek to do harm as an expression of hatred toward others, or even themselves that they could just respect people of different views, faith, skin color, sexual orientation or nationality. They call it world peace. I’m sure we all would love to witness it, even if only for a day.

I wish for great opportunity for all children. To be raised in safe homes by loving parents, with food on the table, a warm roof overhead, a safe education system that prepares them for fruitful lives full of promise and a lifetime of Christmases everyday.

I wish for the end to the many dreaded diseases, ailments and birth defects that affect the population. I see so many brave individuals who face life

with these burdens and do so with such courage and inspiration.

I wish more people could experience faith in a supreme being and openly pracDan Alexander tice their faith by atThoughts from Behind the Pressline tending services each week and recognize that only through our trust in God will we overcome much of what troubles our world today.

I wish more folks of good fortune would share some of what they have with others less fortunate.

We all witness those who give from the heart regularly even at times when they don’t have much.

Just imagine a world full of people helping and caring for each other.

I wish our government and all governments would put aside their bickering and seek compromise for the people they govern by finding the common ground and recognizing the important leadership roles they play in advancing a God loving and peaceful society.

I wish for Christmas 2012 to be a turning point in a world that seems to have lost its way. Despite remarkable technology, advancements in the medical and scientific fields we need the saving grace of the miracle child born so many years ago.

Many may say the wishes above are nothing but fanciful dreams, but all those fanciful dreams could become reality if each of us were to embrace them and make them our own. It’s amazing what a little hope, faith and love can do in your life if you let them in and share them with all who you come in contact. Let’s face it, with all of our running around, Christmas preparations and gifting this season at the end of the day wouldn’t you rather trade all the gifts under this year ’s tree for any of the wishes listed above or at the very least that last Friday never occurred for those innocent souls in Connecticut?

On behalf of the staff and family here at Denton Publications I would like to wish you and your family a very joyous and safe holiday, a prosperous new year and for my last wish, that you are granted all of your prayers and wishes. Please remember in your prayers all those affected by the tragedy in Connecticut and may God bless us one and all.

Letters to the Editor

Water woes

Power of positivity

Grateful

To the Times of Ti:

To the Times of Ti:

Water or not, here we come!

The old gray mare she isn’t what she used to be, and neither is our village of Port Henry or its meetings.

The regular monthly board meeting on Dec. 12 was of great interest to us because “The Review and Decisions on Water Adjustment Requests” was on the agenda. You see, in November we received our water/sewer bill which was over twice the amount we usually pay even though we used the same quantity of water we had used for years. This is a bill of penalties and fines. And this is not for the usage nor is it for late or non-payments. The penalties and fines are for meter readings, actual vs. estimate, and will continue for at least two more cycles. This means at the least, your bill will triple. Our new Water Law #2 was adopted by the village of Port Henry board of trustees on the date of April 27, 2011. It was filed on the date of May 4, 2011. It was changed on the date of Sept. 15, 2011.

The review and make decisions on water adjustments requests were distributed to the board members prior to the meeting. Many requests seemed to be denied with an occasional approval. One person wrote that he does not read the paper (in regards to the New Water Law #2 publication). And a chorus of voices rang out, “should have read the paper.” Then l heard the nays. The board denied the request, seemingly, without consideration of this citizen’s possible situation. This could be a senior citizen, a disabled person or may have glaucoma. In my opinion, this lack of concern and disregard is very hurtful in many ways.

This lack of concern and disregard of the board has affected me, personally. After paying our June bill, in full and a week early at our village hall, I was just about out the door when I noted my circle and question mark for the water portion reminding me to ask about it. I inquired about it because it seemed like an odd amount. No one behind the counter could explain it either. Just that it was an estimate.

They agreed to look into this and we would talk later as I had to leave for an appointment. I had included this particular bill in my Water Adjustment Request letter to the board regarding the estimate status.

During the review at the meeting, the board harped on me because l did not follow up on the questionable water fee. Demanding, “Why didn’t you follow up?” After some thought, l answered, l forgot. She quickly burst out, “it’s your responsibility to follow up.” The board and others filled the room with murmurs. When I returned home, humiliated and exhausted, l looked at my calendar at the month of June. It indicated that I had been ill and in the hospitalized at Fletcher Allan six months ago during the following week of June 8, 2012.

Most citizens had promptly requested in writing, a response regarding estimated water readings. While under review the voices again rang out, “Two in a row.”This as I read to myself, the Water Law #2 of 2011, which places a $100 fee to each metered account if no actual reading is obtained or provided, and the prior two billings were estimated. Also the account will be billed $257 and the ”no meter reading rate will continue until there are two consecutive actual readings.” The chorus went on and on, “Two in a row. You should read the paper. You should read the law.” " I shook my head no, it is and the prior two, not two in a row. Nays filled the room.

When it was my turn, I was about to speak as I heard a voice coming from across the room. He was sitting with his back to us and facing the wall. It was our village water/sewer superintendent. He spoke of my husband with great disrespect and innuendos until a board member pointed out that I was there.

As the board meeting progressed, members and others continued in a frenzy of voices, some smiling and even laughing, “Two in a row, read the paper, read the law.” I then started reading my request letter out loud until the room was quiet. Then I showed them that I had the latest law, Sept. 15, 2011, and pointed out that it stated, “and the prior two billings were estimated, not or. This is the latest change of the Village Water Law #2.” They insisted that I read the law. I didn’t have a copy. They gave me one from the office dated May 4, 2011.

I then told them that mine is the latest where the water law was changed. lt states the latest changes. The room was so noisy with negative opinions; l didn’t even hear the board vote or the decision and asked them to repeat it. The mayor stated that it was denied.

Now I look back to the day we delivered our letter to the village office, requesting an adjustment to our bill regarding the estimate readings. The village sent an employee the very next day to read both meters. He said the inside meter was fine. He told us that our outside meter read error. Why didn’t the village send a technician then?

Why didn’t they fix it? It was their responsibility.

The following day after the board of trustees meeting, the village promptly sent out a technician. And he promptly fixed a loose wire. lt took perhaps two minutes. He knew exactly where to look and what to do. He was invited into the garage regarding our other meter. He kindly declined saying it is not necessary, I know it works.

Why didn’t the village call the technician with the first error reading? Or the second error reading which they called us for an actual reading from the inside meter. And the third reading was an error as well. Three in a row! Why didn’t the village contact their technician?

Why wasn’t it fixed it? lt is the village’s responsibility. Does the village not take their responsibility seriously?

Now, looking back through to the year of 2007, all our meter readings have been actual except for the recent three. Since the village installed the digital meter and since the village of Port Henry, 2011 Water Law #2 was adopted, and changed.

We still worry about the old gray mare. She isn’t what she used to be, and neither is our village of Port Henry. Perhaps there are many other citizens of our village affected by this water law. We welcome your ideas and thoughts. Let us solve this together and make it right.

We would like to close this letter with kudos to our village of Port Henry Fire Department for your dedication to our village. Your total man hours: 3,483.12 for 2012 is real dedication. Also, congratulations to your young new Firefighters.

Janet Billingsley Hansen Erik Hansen.

Opinion • Times of Ti - 7

I cannot say how grateful I am to have the support of Ticonderoga and surrounding areas. Again this year the non-profit Royal Winter Pageant was a huge success. The girls were fantastic and I hope the pageant will only get bigger and better every year.

Please remember that this is not just about a pageant, but a great way for our girls to learn self-esteem, pride, responsibility and hopefully for the future leadership.

Thank you to all who came. I hope we as a community remembers that in times of need we all need to help out. With everything that has happened in Connecticut the support we can show our children and community can only be remembered as hopeful.

Thank you to all my girls, parents, Kathleen O’Neill, McKenzie Harrington, Nancy Tyrell, Lisa Tyrell, Myuh Bezio and friend, Carl Jewett, Tonya Witherbee, the judges, Marcia Glebus, Linda Demarias, Jamie Northup, and Jenn Miron; my donors, Wal-mart, Pat Armstrong, Wagon Wheel, Rathbuns and Treadway Outfitters; my supporters, Ti paper, Reale Construction, chamber of commerce, Nancy Frasier Photography and Dan Cross, DJ; the local stores who allowed us to do our community services, Rite Aid, Wal-mart, Stewarts and Ti Federal Credit Union.

Thank you to all who came and supported the girls. Thank you to Ron O’Neill for video taping. Great job girls on the bottles, you raised over $500 in bottles and half went to Connor Courtright who is a local boy with cancer. Good luck to those we donated to our community service, Angel Connection, Tiny Tim, ACAP and Ti Food Pantry. You all did a great job and congratulations to the girls and winners.See you all in 2013. Please keep an eye out for us on July 4, 2012. My hopes and prayers are with you all in Connecticut.

Jamie Harrington, director Royal Winter Pageant Hague

Firefighters thankful To the Times of Ti: As we move throughout the special seasons of Hanukkah and Christmas, the members of the Hague Volunteer Fire Department would like to take time out from our usual article format and simply take a moment to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for.

We take part in many community activities, parades and events for which you always show outstanding support. We run several barbecues, dinners and food tent set ups for which the turn outs are always outstanding. You have never been less than generous in response to our annual appeal letter, which just went out recently, and always helps our year end position.

To top that all off, we find that Chief Ray and President Linda Mury have just been voted Hague Senior Citizens of the Year. All in all, thanks to you our supportive community, the Hague Volunteer Fire Department has much to be thankful for at this very special time of year.

Watch out for black ice.

Joe McCranels Information Officer Hague Volunteer Fire Department

Airman thankful To the Times of Ti: I would like to thank the community members and the students and faculty of Crown Point, Moriah and Ticonderoga schools. They have a program called “Project Gratitude” that sends care packages to deployed service members. I am in Afghanistan and just received a package full of goodies.

I shared it with my guys and they are all very appreciative.

It gave me a chance to talk to them (brag) about how patriotic our communities are up in the Adirondacks. Its hometowns like ours that make people who they are today. I know there are mixed opinions about us being here; the fact remains...we are here. So I would like to extend a thank you to everyone who continues to support us!

Enjoy the holidays at home...and would someone please eat a turkey grinder from Hap’s Market for me. I miss/love those things!

P

ositivity is the quality or state of being positive.

Positive thinking is your mental attitude or state of mind toward life and will truly affect your personal Matthew Courtright growth, success Chamber Connection and overall well being.

Not everyone believes in the power of positive thinking, but I truly believe the impact it can have on the many aspects of your life.

Positive and negative thinking is contagious.

All of us can and do affect the people we encounter in one way or another. When your attitude is positive we can enjoy feelings of happiness, kindness and hope for today and the future. People truly want to be around positive people rather than negative whether they think that is the case or not. We should all strive to be positive people.

Negative thinking creates moods of unhappiness and negativity and can have a harmful impact on yourself, the people you meet, your family, co-workers and the community.

Creating and keeping a positive state of mind is not always easy. We are all human and turning your mind toward a positive state on a regular basis will take work within yourself.

You should try to be around other positive people, create a positive work environment and expect positivity from those around you including staff, co-workers, friends and family.

Do not worry about what others think or say about you if your new way of thinking is not there way of thinking.

You can also educate yourself by reading about the benefits of being positive. There are many book and articles on the power of positivity.

Most importantly, smile. A smile will not only impact your attitude but everyone around you. A smile will help you think positive and is one of the most contagious actions that will have a huge impact on those around you and the community as a whole. A smile or simple act of kindness will go a long way and will affect more people than you realize.

“The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.” ~ Oprah Winfrey I would also like to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you, the businesses, organizations, volunteers and community members, for your continued support and dedication to the chamber and the community.

formation officer. “As always, the evening will feature raffles with lots of valuable prizes along with a delicious dinner of stuffed chicken breast and roast beef served buffet style, with the usual fabulous desserts by members.”

Proceeds of the dinner dance will help Chilson Volunteer Fire Department purchase a federally-mandated radio system.

“As part of the national post-9/11 plans for a nationwide communications system for first responders, fire, ambulance and police departments and other government agencies that respond to emergencies we must by law upgrade to radios that will allow them to communicate seamlessly with each other,” Phelps explained.

The Chilson fire department will receive some equipment from Essex County, but will need at least $16,000 of its own funds for additional radios, conversions and installations.

“That’s why the Chilson department is issuing a special plea to supporters in the Chilson and Ticonderoga communities to help it meet the challenge,” Phelps said. “As we learned on 9/11, and locally in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Irene, effective communications are essential to saving lives and property. That’s as true here in Ticonderoga as it is everywhere throughout the country.”

Tickets for the dinner dance are now on sale for $15. Interested people can call Larry Lauman at 585-9133 to purchase tickets or for more information.

The Chilson Volunteer Fire Department, with 44 members and 20 qualified active firefighters, serves a 30-square-mile area that also includes Putts Pond and a large portion of Eagle Lake. Chilson is a part of the town of Ticonderoga, and its fire district includes large tracts of state-owned land.

The department is staffed and equipped to provide fire prevention, fire protection and rescue services including vehicle extrications. Chilson firefighters also respond to weather emergencies, clear downed trees from roadways and provide assistance to home-bound residents during power outages and other emergencies.

The Chilson Community Center at the fire station is owned by the department. Its playing fields and picnic grounds host many community events.

An Angel’s Christmas Wish

In Memory of Glendon Rafferty

Portia Burke

I looked through the clouds and what did I see, The face of my mother, and her thoughts were of me.

Her eyes filled with tears and her face looked so sad, My wings fluttered softly and I felt so bad; For I could do nothing to change how she felt, Nor could I alter the hand fate had dealt.

My tears fell like raindrops, my heart felt so tight, I lifted my face to heaven and told God of my plight, For I can never be free just to fly, As long as there’s one lonely tear in your eye.

My time on earth was spent to please you, And though what has happened was not my own choice, The plan, my mother dear, came from a much higher voice.

As the birthday of our Savior and Lord draws so near, I have a small plea I would like you to hear, Remember me, Mom, with happiness and smiles, And know when you do my soul will soar miles.

A Christmas Present

of Moriah.

It’s Christmas and I’ll miss you You’ll never know how much The greatest thing I could get Would be just to feel your touch.

Congratulations!

Grant to assist emergency home repairs PRIDE receives money TICONDEROGA — The Stewart’s Foundation in Saratoga Springs has announced a $1,000 donation to PRIDE of Ticonderoga for the sponsorship of the Neighbors Helping Neighbors fundraiser to support emergency home repairs in Ticonderoga, Putnam and Hague.

“Our work is dependent on public funds to assist our lowincome home owners with emergency home repairs and our

waiting list dates back to 2009,” said Sharon Reynolds, executive director of PRIDE. “In an effort to have non-public funds available to address these emergency repairs in a timely manner, we created the Neighbors Helping Neighbors fund. Last summer we raised over $3,000 for the fund and hope to continue growing the fund each year.”

PRIDE’s criteria for homeowners who have an emergency situation such as a failed furnace includes the same income eligibility guidelines as all PRIDE housing grants and can be viewed under HOME Program on the website, www.prideofticonderoga.org.

For more information on the qualifications for assistance with emergency repairs, call the PRIDE office at 585-6366 ext. 103 or email info@prideofticonderoga.org.

The grants distributed to qualified candidates will range from $100 to $500 depending on the extent of the emergency and will be approved by the PRIDE board of directors.

“The Stewart’s Foundation has been a tremendous help to numerous non-profits throughout the North Country and we applaud their mission and dedication to the many causes they represent,” said Sheridan Burleigh, president of PRIDE.

Dine United event set TICONDEROGA — The third annual Dine United for United Way of the Adirondack Region will be held Wednesday, Jan. 23.

Clinton, Essex and Franklin county restaurants will be participate in Dine United by either donating a percentage of their proceeds, a percentage of the wait staff tips or a straight donation to the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. Restaurant interested in participating can contact the United Way office at 561-0028 by Jan. 7.

“The public can help too by simply dining out at one of the participating restaurants,” said Kathy Snow, United Way development director. “Start your day with a breakfast treat, then visit one of your neighborhood restaurants for lunch. Finally, go home and grab the family for a delicious dinner at any participating restaurant. Be on the lookout for Dine United restaurants near you and on Jan. 23 and remember to Dine United for United Way.” People can enter a drawing that day at participating restaurants for raffle prizes that have been donated to the United Way. “As we all know, times are tough,” Snow said. “There are citizens right here in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties struggling to keep their jobs, pay their bills and maintain a decent quality of life for their families. But there is hope.

“Through United Way and its affiliated agencies, restaurants and their patrons can help fellow residents with critical needs such as food, clothing, shelter, child care, safety from domestic violence, help for Alzheimer ’s and much more by Dine United,” she added.

Moriah to complete Bulwagga Bay project Supervisor: There’s no choice

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Work to save the Bulwagga Bay shoreline will be completed in 2013.

“It has to be done,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “The town board can’t sit back and let that shoreline erode. It’s a black and white issue; there’s no gray area. It has to be done.”

The town-owned beach and campsite on Lake Champlain is being damaged by Lake Champlain erosion. Without action the public beach and 175-site campground will be lost.

“We’re losing 6 to 10 feet of beach a year,” Scozzafava said.

“We’re losing the beach; we’re losing the campground.”

The shoreline has moved back 25 to 40 feet since 1995, according to the Adirondack Park Agency.

Realizing the problem two years ago, local leaders secured

Moriah couple crashes vehicle in Port Henry PORT HENRY — A Moriah woman was airlifted to Fletcher Allen Hospital in Burlington following a single car accident in Port Henry Dec. 11.

Julie Greenwood, age 43, was driving on Broad Street when she apparently lost consciousness, according to Moriah town police. Her husband, Joseph Greenwood, 51, attempted to control the vehicle from the passenger ’s seat but failed.

The vehicle left Broad Street, went down an embankment, crossed Golf Course Way and went down another embankment before coming to rest, police said.

Julie Greenwood had no obvious injuries, police said, but was airlifted by a New York State Police helicopter to the hospital. Her husband later told police she had suffered a brain aneurysm.

Joseph Greenwood was not injured.

No tickets were issued at the scene, although police reported Julie Greenwood was an unlicensed operator.

The accident remains under investigation, police said.

permits from the Adirondack Park Agency, the state Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build three revetments made of half-ton rocks reaching into Lake Champlain to combat the erosion.

The revetments are 4,080, 4,110 and 4,670 square feet in size, and the beach end of each will be enveloped in landscaped trees and shrubs.

Those permits expire at the end of 2013, so the project must be completed next year.

Preliminary engineering has been completed for the project and the town will soon seek bids for the final engineering plans.

The Bulwagga Bay erosion project is expected to cost $300500,000.

The town has applied for a $500,000 Regional Economic Development Grant from the state to cover the cost of the project. To date, there has been no movement on the grant.

“We’re on the clock to complete this project,” Scozzafava said. “Those permits expire next year and we have to finish the work.”

If the grant application is not approved soon, Moriah officials will have to borrow the money for the Bulwagga Bay project.

“No one wants to spend money, but Bulwagga Bay is a tremendous asset to the community,” Scozzafava said. “We can’t let it just slip away. If we don’t get the grant we’ll have to bite the bullet and borrow.”

Bulwagga Bay generated $294,737 in revenue for the town in 2012, Scozzafava said. The $120,000 profit will be used to off-set 2013 local taxes.

The campsite has already lost 10 lakefront campsites to erosion, Scozzafava said. That’s $20,000 a year in revenue.

The supervisor also pointed out the campground and beach have economic impact on the business community.

“The people at the campsite and beach stop at stores, restaurants, gas stations,” Scozzafava said. “They spend money in the community.

“Bulwagga Bay is important to our local economy,” he added. “It attracts tourists, it provides local jobs and it plays a role in our economic development.”

If the town borrows money for the erosion project, the loan will be repaid using Bulwagga Bay revenues, the supervisor said.

“The money to repay the loan won’t come directly from our residents, but it will impact taxpayers,” Scozzafava explained. “It’ll mean there is less money to apply to the tax levy so taxes will go up unless we can find the money someplace else.

“It has to be done,” Scozzafava said. “We’ll do as much of the work as possible ourselves to keep the cost down.”

After the project is finished it will require annual monitoring of erosion and water levels on the beach. The town will be allowed to fill in — or “re-nourish” — areas above the revetments where any erosion takes place.

Mineville from page 1 donations from the people of Moriah.”

This has been a difficult year for area pantries because of a shortage of food at the Northeast Regional Food Bank that supplies them and increased food costs.

“We used to buy 10-15 cases of food at a time from the food bank,” Morse said. “Now we’re lucky to get two cases, if any at all.”

The Moriah Food Pantry, located in the basement of All Saints Church on Bartlett Pond Road in Mineville, serves about 85 families a month, Morse said.

The food pantry is open 10 a.m. to noon each Wednesday. People seeking food must meet income guidelines and present identification with a Moriah address along with an electric bill.

The pantry director is asking residents to donate nonperishable food items, hold food drives and make cash donations.

Non-perishable food can be left in drop boxes at Mac’s Market in Port Henry, St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Port Henry, All Saints Church in Mineville and at other churches in the town.

Cash donations can be mailed to the Moriah Food Pantry, 15 Maple Lane, Mineville 12956. Cash is needed to purchase meat and other perishable foods.

Crown Point • Times of Ti - 13

Champlain National Bank leader stepping down keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — After almost 40 years in the business of numbers, Champlain National Bank President and CEO Jon Cooper is looking forward to a morning walk.

“I’m getting up in the morning and taking a walk with my wife,” said Cooper, who is retiring from the bank effective Feb. 1. “Then I am going to say, the day is ours, what do you want to do with it?”

Cooper entered the financial world at the age of 21, working for a public accounting firm before getting into the banking industry.

“I have stayed in banking the entire rest of the time,” he said.

In April of 2006, Cooper was hired as the president and CEO of CNB, and will have almost served seven years in that position when he departs.

Champlain National Bank operates an office in Crown Point.

“I will be around for a couple of weeks to help with the transition, if needed,” Cooper said about turning the reigns over to his successor, Joseph Shaw. “If we need a couple more weeks, I will do that. If not, then I will move along.”

Cooper said that while many would look at the numbers and spreadsheets to determine the success of the company during his tenure (to which he said, “the bank is in an extremely strong position with a solid balance sheet,” increasing revenues from just over $650,000 in 2006 to near $1.8 million now), he would look at the perspective that the customers have.

“I think we have significantly changed the im-

age of the company,” Cooper said. “We have refocused on what it means to be a community bank. We have been more involved in the community not only because it pays back for the bank, but you have to be willing to give back what you get.”

Part of working with the community was understanding the customer.

“You have to react to the client or customer and think about if you were them and react in the way you would want to be treated if you were in their shoes and communicate with them appropriately,” Cooper said.

Cooper also talked about the services they offered customers in the wake of tropical Storm Irene.

“We were the only bank that came out with a special loan program after Irene,” he said. “We responded within weeks and we have had zero delinquencies on those.”

Cooper said that community involvement is something that he has noticed throughout his time at CNB. “The thing that amazes me about this community is that you can reach out to the key people around here and always get a call back,” he said.

“That, to me, is why this community has not seen a huge swing downward. It’s about what is best for the region. You do not see one town against the other if it is for the betterment of the region.”

Cooper also has served as the president of the Plattsburgh Rotary Club, where he helped implement a mentorship program through Plattsburgh State.

“We would pair students up with business leaders and let them go from there,” Cooper said.

“I had three students that came to work with me

in the program, and all three got high-profile opportunities down the road.”

Cooper said that he plans to return to his roots in western New York upon retirement, but will bring many fond memories of the North Country with him.

“I have truly enjoyed the time here,” he said.

“It is a great community with people who are always available to lend a hand.”

Crown Point parties result in 29 arrests; under-age drinking alleged CROWN POINT — Police have arrested 29 people in connection with thefts and under-age drinking at a summer residence in Crown Point.

An October investigation of a burglary led to a seasonal camp that, state police report, was used for four separate parties allegedly involving under-age drinking.

Police believe the summer home on Sam Curran Road was burglarized on several occasions and was the site of parties allegedly involving under-age drinking.

Some of the defendants who were of legal drinking age allegedly provided the younger, under-age participants with alcohol, police said.

The parties were held on the nights of Sept. 21, 28 and 29 and Oct. 5.

Those who are age 16 and older were charged as adults.

Charged with second-degree burglary of a dwelling, a felony, are: Bret O. Gudikunst, 17, of Crown Point, four counts; Tyler J. Woods, 18, of Ticonderoga, three counts; Paige D. Harris, 16, of Crown Point, one count; James T. Blanchard, 16, of Crown Point, four counts; Vincent A. Gibbs, 21, of Crown Point, one count; Michael J. Gould, 18, of Crown Point, three counts; Jonathan C. Spaulding, 17, of Crown Point, one count; Devin M. McCoy, 17, of Crown Point, one count; Brant C. Rice, 27, of Crown Point, one count; Adrian P. Fernandez, 16, of Ticonderoga, two counts; Megan M. Campney, 17, of Ticonderoga, one count; Brenda

M. Mesones, 18, of Crown Point, two counts; James C. Russell, 17, of Crown Point, one count; Sara J. Fuller, 18, of Ticonderoga, two counts; Brianna S. Morse, 16, of Ticonderoga, two counts; Cameron C. Cole, 21, of Ticonderoga, one count; Kelsey M. Wertz, 17, of Ticonderoga, one count; and Christian M. Chambre, 22, of Crown Point, one count.

Gibbs, Rice, Cole and Chambre were also charged with one count each of first-degree unlawful dealing with a child by providing the child with alcohol, a misdemeanor.

Kaitlin A. Gudikunst, 21, of Crown Point was not charged with burglary but was arrested on two counts of first-degree unlawful dealing with a child by providing the child with alcohol, a misdemeanor. She was released on an appearance ticket.

“For those looking for a late night service, the pastors would encourage the community to attend the 11 p.m. Christmas Eve service at the United Methodist Church of Crown Point located on Creek Road,” Hirtle said. “Whatever your plans as an individual or a family, reinvest in your faith by worshiping at the manger this Christmas season.”

be $7 for adults and $4 for children at the door Dec. 31. Families will only be charged for two children, regardless of how many attend.

For information call the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce at 532-7675.

The chamber held First Night celebrations in the past — New Year ’s Eve 2003 and 2004 — to mark the beginning and end of the town of Schroon’s bicentennial celebration. A year ago the event was revived.

“People seemed to have a great time and suggested we do it again,” Kostecki said.

First Night is a North American artistic and cultural celebration on New Year's Eve, taking place from afternoon until midnight. Some cities have all their events during the celebration outside, but some cities have events that are hosted indoors by organizations such as churches and theaters.

First Night celebrates a community’s local culture, often featuring music, dance, comedy, art, fireworks and, in some cities, ice sculptures and parades.

The first First Night was in Boston on Dec. 31, 1975. It was organized by a small group of artists who sought an alternative way of celebrating New Year ’s Eve, where Boston’s young, innovative artists and musicians could perform on both indoor and outdoor stages. They also wanted to avoid the emphasis on alcohol that is common at New Year ’s Eve parties. Soon other surrounding communities started their own First Night celebrations.

Life and death .... in a small town

B

orn in 1956, I remain the product of a lifetime spent primarily in small town America. One of my earliest memories is of watching a stampede of cows race by me, as they left the pasture to be fed. I recall greeting them with a polite “Hello Cow!” as they hurtled past the open gate. I also remember my mother ’s frantic calls, as she ran up the hill to save me from the thundering herd. The memory comes from a time when we lived on Wheelbarrow Hill Road, near Great Barrington, Massachusetts, where my father worked as the principal at a local elementary school. During the summers, Dad also served as a riflery instructor at a local summer camp. My life was pretty much normal for a 1950-60’s era kid. It was a time when children were still kept relatively innocent to adult affairs. Telephone calls were dialed with just three numbers and television shows were mostly westerns. ‘Beatles’ were still just insects we collected to mount on pins in a little cardboard box.

I was just another innocent kid in an innocent age, until I started school. That is when I learned to fear the ‘Commies!’ I don’t really remember when I was first introduced to the concept of hating the Commies, but I do recall the

first time I was instructed to hide under my desk at school for an air-raid drill. My initial fears were soon overcome, when I realized the horde of chewing gum stuck to the bottom of the classroom desks. In following years, I came to appreciate the threat of Commie attacks, especially after the air-raid drill sirens saved me from a particular test I had never bothered to prepare for. The best of all were the air raid drills that required students to huddle in the hallways. There were a lot of shenanigans going on when we were all crouched down and lined up, head to butt along the cinderblock walls. None of our teachers every bothered to explain how the old block walls would actually protect us from an atomic blast. However, as youngsters we dutifully followed instructions from our teachers, and cursed the Commies, even if we didn’t understand why. It certainly was a far different time.

I realized the Commies were really out to get us in the spring of 1960, when airplanes rattled the windows of our house on Rugar Street in Plattsburgh. Our house was directly in the flight path. Throughout the dark night, bombers left Plattsburgh Air Force Base in response to the shooting down of a U-2 spy plane piloted by Col. Gary Powers. Those damned commies!

Despite experiencing such disturbing incidents at such an early age, I remained relatively oblivious to the realities and dangers of the adult world, probably because it was also very easy to get lost in the western culture.

And by western culture, I mean television shows such as Wagon Train, Roy Rogers, Bonanza, Have Gun Will Travel, Johnny Yuma, Maverick, Gunsmoke and dozens more.

With westerns, it was easy to figure out who the good guys were because they always wore the white hats! Back then, my favorite toy was a pearl handled, six shooter, and all little boys played with guns, some of them even had caps that would spark, bang and send smoke in the air.

Photo by Nancy Frasier

Looking back through the eyes of age, I never really considered the fact that guns actually killed people. The reality that guns were dangerous weapons simply wasn’t on my radar screen, despite the fact that President John F. Kennedy had been shot and killed when I was in second grade.

The realities, and the accompanying terrors of the power of a gun came to me unexpectedly in 1966, when a crazy man by the name of Charles Whitman climbed to the top of an observatory tower on the campus of the University of Texas.

He killed 14 people and wounded 12. Like most people in the country, I was stunned and scared. At the time, my father worked at Plattsburgh State, and it sure seemed to me that there were a lot of towers on that campus.

I believe the incident signaled the end of innocence for many citizens of the Boomer Generation. I know it did for me.

Unfortunately, the insanity did not end there, and it appears such events have continued seemingly unabated. It also appears they are becoming more frequent, and our responses have been less effective.

Like most of the nation, my heart sunk as word of the most recent such incident rattled across the television news and other media outlets.

As I listened to unfolding news of the massacre, there was an old fear rumbling in the back of my mind. It was a ping of fate that hadn’t been disturbed since the 1960s.

It struck a particular nerve, as my younger brother now serves as principal for the Red Hook Elementary School, which is located less than a half hour ’s drive from Sandy Hook.

My heartfelt sorrow and prayers now go out to yet another traumatized town in small town America.

Connecticut Governor Malloy summed it up when he explained, “evil visited this community today. “ I know there can never be an explanation, since there is no rational answer for an irrational act. However, as a nation, we must begin to work together on a process to put an end to such madness.

And we should all remember: “There but for the grace of God.” Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

he NCSPCA is excited to announce that our friend Martha Gallagher, also known as the Adirondack Harper, has generously offered to donate 10 percent of her CD sales from her current Rose national tour and online from now until the end of the year! Check out her website at www.adkharper.com for more info about the benefit, as well as upcoming performance dates. Her live shows are a wonderful holiday event, and her CDs make fantastic holiday gifts!

As the holidays grow closer, most of us are looking foward to family get-togethers and festive events. For our pets, however, the holidays can be a source of stress. That never-ending stream of party guests, for example, may throw your more sociable dog or cat into paroxyms of joy at all the extra attention, but for a shy animal, they see their "safe haven" suddenly overrun with

strangers. The presence of company can also mean the chance to beg or sneak party snacks, which although tasty are often unhealthy for your furry friend. Decorations brought out for the season are festive to humans, but confusing to animals who are trying to figure out if that big green thing in the living room is a toy, food, or furniture to climb. It's important to try to maintain some level of routine, such as consistent feeding times and amounts, and keeping to a regular exercise and playtime schedule.

In fact, exercise is a great stress reliever, both for your pet and for you!

Our featured pet this week is Rose, one of many Walker Hounds that were seized in an abuse case. Although Rose had been sad and lonely for attention when she arrived, she is now a happy girl who simply can't get enough time with the shelter staff. Rose gets along well with other dogs and has a sweet, easygoing personality. Her soulful, intelligent eyes and doggy smile are hard to resist. She would be great in any household, and kids would be an extra bonus to her! She wants to be your next couch potato and promises to be a terrific footwarmer on a winter day. Please stop by and see this fantastic gal!
