In Crown Point it’s 20.9 percent, Moriah 17.4 per cent and Schroon 8.2 percent. Overall, 13 per cent of Essex County r esidents live in poverty, accor ding to the government.

Experience the joy ... all year long
D
oubtlessly, most of our readers will be attending church this weekend, enjoying the melodic, memoryfilled strains of the classic Christmas car ols, hearing comforting wor ds f rom cler gy, and perhaps enjoying the warm glow of candlelight in the faces of parishioners at Christmas Eve services. These soul-stirring sights and sounds, which fill us with the spirit of love and hope, won’t be experienced again until next year. Or will they? With the pressures of employment, homemaking and other commitments, as many as half of those attending chur ch this weekend won’t be attending services until Easter or next Christmas — motivated by a sense of spiritual duty or adherence to tradition. But we at Denton Publications pr opose a challenge t o t hose o f u s w ho b elong t o t he above group of occasional church attendees. It’s a challenge that reaps many benefits — spiritually, emotionally and socially. Why not r eturn to chur ch the following week — and attend regularly throughout the year? Those who return to church on New Year ’s Day and continue the practice thr ough 2012 are likely to experience infusions of holiday joy, love, and hope over and over again, uplifting their pressured lives. It’s not only for raising one’s spiritual awareness and to build a foundation of faith, but to become mor e involved in such a vital element of the community. Church activities have for centuries been a mainstay of community life. Not only do local chur ches’ social events, and their youth pr ograms provide vital lifelong gr ounding, but their various activities and missions are vital in connecting all of us in such crucial ways. Also important ar e the various community outr each pr ograms, whether it’s food pantries, clothing drives, or collections for families w ho’ve f aced ca lamities or m erely unfortunate circumstances. It’s important to be aware that the churches in the Adirondacks and other r ural areas
need our involvement more than ever. Studies by various denominations have confirmed that rural churches in America and Europe have been losing members at a substantial rate. The Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project report, released in 2009 by theAdirondack Association of T owns and V illages, showed that the Adirondacks, particularly the central regions, have lost up to one-third of their population since 1970. The number of children living year-round in the Adirondacks have decr eased even more drastically, according to the report’s recent update. It’s likely due to the young adults moving out of the region for better job opportunities and launching their families elsewhere. This is particularly har d on the chur ches here, as it’s the young children that have traditionally drawn their par ents into chur ch life. The result of this population hemorrhaging has been a lot of empty pews, scar ce attendance at Sunday schools, and elimination of many chur ch social events and outr each programs. Add to these tr ends the new attitude espoused by Baby Boomers and their offspring that str esses individualism and mor e and more people are interested in church only on their own terms. With this shift in demographics and attitude — and social media and electr onic media increasingly competing for our time and attention — the families who r emain her e have a n e ver-greater r esponsibility t o k eep the churches not only alive and solvent, but vibrant and influential. Let’s head back to church Jan. 1 and thereafter. We need our churches and their activities, and they need us.

Book highlights bridge importance To the Times of Ti: I want to thank Denton Publications for publishing “The Lake Champlain Bridge Commemorative Book.” It brings out the historical importance of a Champlain cr ossing which dates back to 1776. The book highlights many of the gr eat destinations and businesses that ar e on the V ermont and New York side of the lake. The local regional economy has suffered from the bridge being closed and torn down, but now this new bridge may be a destination in itself and should bring many visitors to the area just to walk on the very inviting pedestrian-friendly bridge to take in the beautiful views of the Adirondacks and the Gr een Mountains. Our family has alr eady made a day trip out of walking acr oss the bridge which concluded with a leisure drive back through Vermont and a dinner in Whitehall. As a civil engineer and past president of the local section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), I have sat thr ough numer ous seminars and panel discussions on the effects of our nation’s aging infrastructure. The pr oblem doesn’t hit home though until it impacts your daily life, for instance, you go to use the faucet to get a drink and no water comes out due to the public water main break, at that moment your life has been impacted by failing infrastructure. Can anyone put a price tag to the 4.2 billion hours that Americans waste sitting in traf fic congestion? The American Society of Civil Engineers actually has and it’s $78 billion or $710 per motorist. One thir d of our roadways ar e in poor or mediocr e condition, which costs motorists $67 billion a year in repairs. The Champlain Bridge closur e has impacted many of us and should r emind all of us of one of our nation’s biggest problems and how critical it is for the public to have safe and functioning infrastr ucture (bridges, r oadways, dams and airports). Ultimately, no one was injured or died due to a bridge collapse, but the people that wer e hurt the most due to the bridge closur e wer e the daily commuters who needed to travel over the bridge for work and the local businesses along that corridor. ASCE has issued a 2009 National Infrastr ucture Report Card to pr ovide information on why it is critical that our country re-invests in its infrastructure. It rates various categories of infrastr ucture such as bridges, dams, aviation, roads, transit, schools, levees, etc. The overall grade for the report cad was a “D” and the estimated 5-year investment that our nation would need to fix the infrastr ucture comes with a $2.2 trillion price tag. (www.asce.org/reportcard) Our nation’s infrastructure could use more attention like what Denton Publications has pr ovided with “The Lake Champlain Bridge Commemorative Book.” It brings out a heightened awareness to infrastructure and shows how important the Champlain Bridge is to our community. Once again on behalf of the civil engineering community, I would like to thank you for the much needed publicity . Not to mention it is a great collector ’s item and Christmas gift. Anthony W. DeFranco, PE, M.ASCE Past President-ASCE Mohawk-Hudson Section Hague
Student blood drive makes Moriah proud To the Times of Ti: I returned a few hours ago from participating in the Red Cross blood drive at Moriah Central School (Dec. 8) in honor of their teacher, Mr. (Dayton) Dedrick, who just returned to work after an accident this fall which almost killed him. I was amazed at how many of those eligible-to-donate students (most for the first time!) signed up and donated to honor this man. I am pr oud to say my tax dollars support educating these young men and women, and I am proud to live in the Moriah Central School district. These students ar e our futur e; it’s nice to know they ar e caring individuals who got over their squeamishness to do this although their teacher is no longer in danger and doing well at this point. In this day and age when most of the news you hear about high school students is negative, it is nice to know that our local school is doing their part to raise fine young adults. Kudos to all of you! Cassandra Dunbar Mineville

Ticonderoga from page 1 on income and household size. A family of four earning $22,113 or less a year meets the poverty threshold. The income level rises to $26,023 for a family of five and so on. According to the Census, 16.4 million childr en now live in poverty in the United States. That’s 22 per cent of all American childr en, the highest per centage since 1959. The statistics ar e no surprise for those who work with families and children. “Having worked as a geriatric pr otective service social worker for 20 years, I’ve about seen it all,” said the Rev. David Hirtle, pastor of the First Congr egational Church in Cr own Point. “I have observed that the poverty in this area is deeper and more entrenched than I have previously seen. Further, because of this, many of the families in this are a go unnoticed...they ar e invisible because they have been in this situation for such a long time. “This is a tragic tr uth of this area — we ar e invisible to to the powers that be because of our poverty ,” he said. “After all, money talks.

month,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “This problem only gr ows with the cuts that ar e in place at the county. Contrary to popular belief, many of these families are working in lowpaying jobs, so they ar e dependent on some pr ograms to make it thr ough each month.” Beuerlein agrees. She said the problem seems especially bad for single-parent families. “We see families with children not making it,” she said. “One cause that leaps at me is ‘out of food stamps’.” So what can be done to help distressed families? Besides the food pantries, local churches, schools and communities are stepping up. Hirtle’s chur ch operates Second Blessing Thrift Stop in Cr own Point. The First Methodist Chur ch in T iconderoga houses a thrift shop. “We have been busier than in years past and with fewer donations,” Hirtle said of Second Blessings. This holiday season the Tiny T im Christmas W ish Program, which pr ovides Christmas gifts to needy children in the T iconderoga area, will service 140 children from 52 families. “It’s not the most we’ve ever had, but it's right up there,” Nancy Quesnel, Tiny Tim dir ector, said of the number of childr en. “W e normally have about 125 children we shop for.” At Crown Point and other schools teachers and staf f help out as best they can — often at their own expense. “We do have a bit of an ad-
vantage, since we are smaller, to have an informal system that helps recognize and remedy some of the needs of children living in poverty ,” Brannock said. “Staf f members often bring to my attention concerns or issues students have. We meet their needs by local support from businesses, chur ches and personal donations. We can help many children because we are small and know each and every one of them very well.” Schroon Lake Central School, where about half the students receive free and reduced lunches, also helps the poor in the community. This Thanksgiving staf f and teachers made up 22 baskets containing everything needed for a holiday dinner and distributed them to local families, said Laura Corey, Schr oon Lake T eachers Association president. The S chroon L ake Teachers Association also asks members to bring food items every Friday in exchange for wearing jeans. The food is given to the Schr oon Lake Food Pantry, which served 126 childr en along with 52 adults during November . And, teachers also support other programs in the community such as the Christmas Express. “As a high school teacher I think poverty is less obvious than in the elementary school,” Cor ey said. “But I see the af fects of the poor economy on our students and their families. It’s obvious a lot of people are struggling.” Scozzafava pointed out some help is available.
“The town of Moriah helps in its support of the food pantry and we also offer a pre-school and after school pr ograms,” he said. “The Head Start pr ogram also helps in this ar ea. During the summer months the town also participates in the USDA b reakfast a nd l unch programs during the summer youth pr ograms. The community also helps out at Christmas time with the Port Henry Fir e Department doing a toy and clothing drive. Many of our local business also participate.” Government also has a role in helping the poor , Scozzafava said. “Decent af fordable housing is a r eal pr oblem, with many absentee landlor ds renting pr operties that do not meet the building and fire codes,” he said. “Both the town and village (of Port Henry) have been addr essing this ongoing problem as best we can, but the Department of Social Services also needs to work har der to see that childr en ar e not at risk in their homes. I have advocated for years that before a family moves into a dwelling that r eceives public assistance, Social Services should first inspect the premises to see that it is fit for living in. The caseworker should also make routine visits to ensure that the safety of the childr en is what it should be. “There ar e many flaws in the curr ent system, and all too o ften w e a ctually m ake families even mor e dependent on these pr ograms because of the rules,” he said.

Fort Ti to host winter programs Series to run through April
Participants on the Lake George Association floating classroom lower Secchi disks into the lake to measure water clarity. More than 2,000 people came aboard the Lake George Association’s floating classroom to learn about lake protection and ecology this year.
Floating Lake George classroom popular More than 2,000 visit LGA boat TICONDEROGA — More than 2,000 people came aboard the Lake Geor ge Association’s floating classr oom to learn about lake protection and ecology this year. “It was one of our busiest and most successful seasons ever,” said Emily DeBolt, LGA director of education. In addition to school gr oups in the spring and fall, the floating classroom hosted homeowner associations, visitors to area resorts, the staff and board of the Lake George Park Commission, scouting and camping groups, and the general public. “Due to popular demand in our 2010 season, we doubled the capacity of our public pr ograms in 201 1, of fering two programs a day on Wednesdays thr oughout July and August,” said Walt Lender of T iconderoga, LGA executive director. “We ar e also str ongly encouraging schools, homeowners, r esorts and other gr oups ar ound the lake to book their 2012 programs now if at all possible, as our openings have become quite limited. “In addition, just in time for holiday gift giving, individuals can r eserve a special floating classr oom pr ogram for their friends, family , neighbors or business associates for
next year. For mor e information we encourage you to contact us,” said Lender. On the f loating classr oom, people investiga te the Lake George ecosystem and engage in the hands-on science behind keeping the lake’s water clean and healthy . Participants catch and identify tiny animals called zooplankton that live in the lake and they measur e the water ’s quality and clarity. They use the actual tools of the water ecology trade: S ecchi d isks, p lankton n ets, f ield m icroscopes a nd Van Dorn bottles. They measure water temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen; all are important indicators of lake quality. In addition, participants gain an understanding of how Lake George is dif ferent from other lakes, and learn about the lake’s geographical history , and learn about thr eats to the lake from invasive species and pollution. “The goal is to instill in our guests a sense of life-long stewardship for the lake,” said Kristen Rohne, the LGA ’s watershed educator. “It’s an experience we hope people will never forget. The program helps people see how important it is to protect Lake George.“ The Lake George Association is a member-supported nonprofit organization. Founded in 1885, the Lake Geor ge Association is the nation’s oldest lake protection organization.
TICONDEROGA — Fort T iconderoga will intr oduce a new series of Sunday afternoon pro grams running from January through April. Presented by Fort Ticonderoga staff, the programs cost $10 each and ar e fr ee for members of the Friends of Fort Ticonderoga.

Schroon Lake • Times of Ti - 13
Schroon teacher seeks online donations Books sought for political science By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — A Schroon Lake Central School teacher has reached into cyberspace to help her students. Laura Cor ey is using DonorsChoose.org, an online charity that connects contributors with schools in need, to secure books for her senior political science class. “Schroon Lake is listed as a high needs, high poverty district by DonorsChoose,” Corey said. “That makes us a priority.”
Corey needs $600 to pur chase copies of the book “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.” To date a little more than half the money has been donated. The deadline for donations is Jan. 12. The book, which was not included in the 2011-2012 Schroon school budget, will be used to teach ethics and social r esponsibility, Cor ey said. “I want to pr ovide my students with the opportunity to make connections between the social sciences and the real world,” she said. “I want to make history r elevant and exciting for my students. “I want to expose my studentsto different ways of thinking,” Corey said. “I want them to question the
Laura Corey status quo and think for themselves. It is so important to expose
students to as many avenues of learning as possible. I want my students to look beyond the science and see the underlying issues at play in this book. How we tr eat those who ar e less fortunate has a major impact on our society as a whole.” “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” is the story of Henrietta Lacks, known to thousands of scientists as HeLa. She was a poor , black tobacco farmer whose cells — taken without her knowledge in 1951 — became one of the most important tools in medicine, vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, in vitro fertilization and more. Lack’s cells have been bought
and sold by the billions, yet she re mains virtually unknown, and her family can’t af ford health insurance. She was never compensated for the use of her genetic material. “The story of Henrietta Lacks raises so many questions,” Cor ey said. “She was a poor woman with cervical cancer. Her cells were taken and used without her permission. Ther e ar e issues of race, ethics, medicine. I think these ar e issues worth thinking about and discussing with students.” Corey is not the first Schr oon Lake teacher to utilize DonorsChoose.org. Cookie Barker has successfully used the online charity to supplement her science classes.

Schroon Lake from page 1 Schroon town beach beginning at 8:30 p.m., followed by fir eworks over the lake at 9:15 p.m. Admission for all the events taking place at the school is $5 for adults and $2 for children ages 4 to 18. Childre n younger than age 4 will be free. There will be a special family rate — after one adult and two child admissions, all other childr en in a family will be free. “We wanted to keep the price low so that as many local residents as possible could afford to attend with their families,” said ony T Kostecki, who is helping organize the First Night.
More i nformation c an b e o btained b y calling the Schr oon Lake Chamber of fice at 532-7675. The chamber held two First Night celebrations in the past — New Year ’s Eve 2003 and 2004 — to mark the beginning and end of the town of Schr oon’s bicentennial celebration. “Those F irst N ights w ere v ery s uccessful,” said Sharon Piper, co-chair of the First Night c ommittee. “ People h ave a sked f or another First Night. You could say we’r e bringing it back by popular demand.” Donaldson is confident people will enjoy the First Night celebration. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” she said. “I think it’ll be a great addition to the holidays in Schroon Lake.”
SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake Bed and Breakfast is the winner of the best video award for the New York Region in the “My Business Story” contest on YouTube. “I initially learned about the pr ogram thr ough the Professional Association of Innkeepers International forum, and submitted our entry just under the wir e for the deadline on Nov . 15,” said Sharon Piper, owner of the B&B. “We received notification of our win a few days later." The video featur es Piper , who describes how she and her husband Mark fulfilled their dr eam to open their own bed and breakfast, and how they wer e attracted to, and welcomed by the small Adirondack community of Schroon Lake. “Websites ar e mandatory, and video is king,” added Piper. “In fact, I’ve learned that YouTube is second to Google as the largest search engine. We encourage other small businesses to post their own video with the My Business Story featur e. Although the contest is over , the easy editing tools ar e
still online as a r esource for small businesses." According to the pr ogram’s developers, Google research shows that online video can boost in-stor e sales by 6 percent, and boost brand r ecall b y a s m uch a s 50 percent, and My Business Story can help small business owners make a great looking, pr ofessional-quali-
ty video to r ealize this potential. For mor e information about the Schroon Lake Bed and Breakfast, visit its website at www.schroonbb.com YouTube’s My Business Story program and a link to the contest winners can be found online at www.Youtube.com/mybusinessstory

Building Contest will be held in Ticonderoga. “Begun in 2009 with a few students fr om St. Mary’s and Ti Middle School, the Kiwanis Bridge Building Contest has grown each year ,” said Graham Bailey , contest chairman. “The last event attracted nearly 40 students fr om the (St. Mary’s and T iconderoga) middle schools and T iconderoga High School. This year ’s contest will be held at the Ti Middle School on Saturday, Jan. 21. More than 60 students have already registered for the contest, which will expand in 2012 to include Cro wn Point Central School.

His goal this year is to ‘Go for the gold’.” Sponsorship has also expanded. Assisting the Kiwanis in the 2012 event will be the T i conderoga Teachers Association, Reale Construction Co. and DeFranco Landscaping Co. “The bridge building contest was originally cr eated to stimulate interest among students in science and engineering and also to demonstrate the benefits in working in teams,” Bailey said. “Since the initial contest two teachers, Pam Arzberger (of St. Mary’s School) and Jim Marshall (of Ticonderoga Middle School), have worked for most of the

WILLSBORO — Since the inception of “Survivor ,” 22year-old Willsboro native Sophie Clarke has always wanted to be on the final stage of the CBS television show. On Dec. 18, Clarke not only realized that dr eam but also the dream of winning $1 million as the 23r d champion of the reality show. Clarke, a Willsboro Central School graduate who starr ed for the Warriors on the field Willsboro’s Sophie Clarke was and court as well as in the the winner of the CBS Televiclassroom, was cr owned sion reality competition, “Surchampion during a thr ee- vivor,” af ter a jur y of f ellow hour season finale. competitors v oted her the “My par ents wer e her e,” champion during the Dec. 18 said Clarke, who spoke over season finale . Clarke w on phone fr om Los Angeles, $1,000,000 as the victor in the where the finale was air ed. shows 23rd season. Photo provided CBS “Both my sisters wer e her e along with a friend from college and a family friend.” Clarke said that she did her best to keep her family members in the dark, especially her older twin sisters, Edwina and Phoebe. “I was really cruel because about an hour before the finale started I texted my sisters and told them that I didn’t really win the million,” Clarke said. “So they watched the whole episode thinking that I didn’t win. I think they swore at me when I finally made it down to hug them after the show. “They knew my dad came out for the family visit, but they knew nothing after that,” Clarke added. Her father, Thurston, had been a guest on the show when one family member was allowed to visit. Clarke said that her phone started “blowing up” shortly after the winning moment. “Someone turned my phone of f as I was doing interviews after the show,” Clarke said. “I had 100 texts and 200 Facebook messages. I still have my computer in fro nt of me. I don’t think anyone in my cast had so much support. It’s so nice to have it coming from your hometown and have it coming fr om people that you have known since you were 5 years old.” Clarke also got a chance to mention her hometown during the finale. “It was so nice to mention W illsboro on national television when Jeff (Probst, the shows host) brought it up,” Clarke said. Clarke said that she was able to use the skills that she learned growing up in the small town of Willsboro to her advantage during the show, including learning how to be a part of a group with different ideals. “If you look at the alliance I created there, I had a pact with a rancher, a ‘dragon slayer,’ a dating coach and a 19year-old with two kids, 50 tattoos and a wife.At times, it was hard group of people to be around.” Clarke said that Willsboro helped her to mix with that variety of people. “There’s not enough people to pick your friends,” Clarke said. “That was pr obably one of the weir dest alliances in Survivor history . I gr ew to r eally appr eciate everybody out there. Willsboro helped with that.” Clarke said that because of her alliance, the strategy was able to remain the same throughout the season. “I realized I was in this alliance of people that wer e not going to go back on there word with me,” Clarke said. “I saw this very clear path to the final six. When I got ther e, it was like an onion; there were alliances within alliances, and I was fortunate to be a part of each one of them.” Clarke said that she felt her o r ad to the prize was made complete in the final immunity challenge, when she beat her toughest competition and fan favorite, Ozzy Lusth, in a puzzle. “I knew that if I lost that challenge, I was going home that night,” Clarke said. “It was like penalty kicks in a soccer game. This was the last shot I had to win it or go home. Ozzy was going to walk away with it. That was a million dollar challenge for Ozzy, and it turned out to be a million-dollar challenge for me, too.” As for a return to her hometown, Clarke, who made an appearance at Johnny’s Restaurant during Thanksgiving break, said that she will be home for the last part of the holidays. “I am going to be back after Christmas for a couple of days so I am excited to see everyone for NewYear ’s,” she said.

help. The club is planning its 10th annual Resolution Run Jan. 1, 2011. The event will include a five-kilometer (3.1 miles) un r and a four-kilometer (2.5 miles) walk. Both events will begin and end at the Community Building on Montcalm Street at 11 a.m. The course follows Lake Champlain Avenue to W ater Street to Lake George Avenue back to Montcalm Street. Registration will be that day beginning at 10:15 a.m. at Bicentennial Park. Registration fee is $2 or two food items.All proceeds will be donated to the local food pantry.

For information, contact Ellie Berube at 585-8974 or visit the club website at www.lachute.us The race is expected to include All-America and national runner-up Lee Berube.
