Recruitment open houses April 27 and 28

By Fred Herbst

New licensed day care facility opens in Ticonderoga.

fred@denpubs.com T ICONDEROGA — Firefi ghters around the state and the area will take part recruitment open houses next weekend.

Sponsored by the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York, the event coincides with National Volunteer Week and focuses on attracting new recruits. It’s billed as RecruitNY. Participating locally will be the Ticonderoga Fire Department, the Chilson Fire Department, the A.E. Phelps Fire & Rescue in Crown Point, the Mineville-Witherbee Fire Department, the Moriah Fire Department, the Port Henry Fire Department, the Putnam Fire Department and the Schroon Lake Fire Department.

Besides attempting to attract new members, local fi re companies will use the open houses to showcase their departments for their communities.

Last year more than 430 fi re departments in 55 counties across the state held recruitment open houses. FASNY is hoping for an even higher turnout this year.

Ticonderoga school athletics at risk Budget options call for sports, personnel cuts

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Facing a $540,000 budget gap, the Ticonderoga Central School board of education has identifi ed three possible options to keep the 201314 spending plan within the state tax cap.

All the options include cutting school sports programs and non-mandated classes such as art and music. Each also calls for personnel cuts.

The option the board ultimately adopts and presents to voters next month will be determined after taxpayers express their opinions during a public hearing Thursday, April 25, at 7 p.m. at the Ticonderoga High School cafeteria. An earlier hearing was held in Hague April 16.

“We want to hear what taxpayers think,” John McDonald, school superintendent, said. “Each option gets us to the tax cap. It’s a question of what option

The proposed 2013-14 budget to be presented to voters May 21 for approval is basically set. Limits placed on the district by the state tax cap allow a total budget of $18,606,817 with a local tax levy of $10,706,316. That’s an increase of $389,000 from the present tax levy.

But while Ti is limited to a $389,000 tax increase, costs out of the district’s control have soared. Retirement costs for district employees are up $460,000 and CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Fort Ticonderoga series to conclude Fort Fever ends April 21

TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga’s Fort Fever Series concludes on Sunday, April 21, at 2 p.m. with “Very Well Prepared for the British Army,” a walking tour of Fort Ticonderoga’s historic landscape led by Director of Interpretation Stuart Lilie.

The cost is $10 a person and will be collected at the door. It is free for members of the Friends of Fort Ticonderoga. Ò The Continental Army at Ticonderoga during the summer and fall of 1776, under the command of Gen. Horatio Gates, constructed numerous earthwork fortifications in anticipation of a British attack,” said Lilie. “A force of over 8,000 men cleared

fields of fire and erected redoubts at key strategic locations surrounding Fort Ticonderoga, creating a network of mutually supporting emplacements.”

This program will tour some of the many redoubts, redans, and entrenchments built by the American troops at Ticonderoga during that pivotal year. During the exploration of some of these fortifications, Lilie will explain details about 18th-century military engineering and construction.

Sturdy shoes or hiking boots are recommended for this program. The walking tour starts at the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center. Doors open at 1:30 p.m., with the tour commencing at 2 p.m. and lasting approximately an hour.

STAR change leads to confusion

The Enhanced STAR program for seniors age 65 and older is not impacted. Senior citizens are still required to meet the economic threshold of $74,100 or less and must be able to prove this threshold each year to receive the Enhanced STAR tax relief.

Taxpayers seeking additional information about changes to the STAR program should contact the state Tax Department at 457-2036, go online at TAX.NYS.GOV or call their local assessor.

TICONDEROGA — A change to the state’s School Tax Relief Program has local assessors scrambling to answer taxpayer concerns.

The 2013-14 New York State budget has changes that will require current Basic STAR recipients to re-register in order to continue receiving their exemptions.

That announcement was made without explanation and with no input from assessors, according to Patti Osier, Ticonderoga assessor. It created questions for taxpayers who realized the deadline for STAR filing was March 1 this year — before the state action.

Many called local assessors Selling Premium Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel Products in a panic, believing they had lost the STAR exemption for this year. They did not.

Putnam church a center of activity Putnam United Presbyterian Church refurbished

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PUTNAM — The Putnam United Presbyterian Church may be small, but it accomplishes a lot.

The church has served the Putnam community more than two centuries and remains a hub of local activity and worship.

The church, which began when William Hutton held services in his home in 1798, was recently refurbished, but that doesn’t begin to tell the story. Ò The vigor of the Putnam Presbyterian church may be detected on the outside, but what happens on the inside is a true measure of the church’s vitality,” said Silke Huntington, a church member. “A yoga class meets on Monday mornings; the choir rehearses on Thursday nights, sings each Sunday morning, and participates in area events; there are 6-8 children’s events held annually; Vacation The Putnam United Presbyterian Church Bible School has been may be small, but it accomplishes a lot. The held for the past four church has served the Putnam community years; First Friday fel- more than two centuries and remains a hub of local activity and worship.

lowship nights have included murder mysteries, gringo bingo, a slide show on China, movie/game night, and more; Deacons send cards, assist the community locally, prepare and distribute baskets at Easter, and so much more; the Mission committee reported giving in excess of $4,000.”

And swing dance classes have been added. The dancers meet at the church each Monday evening.

The fi rst congregation had 17 members. The current church membership now stands at 42 members. The majority can regularly be found at Sunday services.

Putnam Presbyterian Church holds a worship service each Sunday at 10 a.m. Pastor Pat Davies leads the services. Coffee hour and fellowship follow the service in the Martha O’Dell Hall.

The church recently had a facelift.

“Through generous contributions of members and nonmembers alike, the exterior of the church was refurbished and painted,” Huntington said. “Work was done to repair, renew and strengthen the church’s beautiful steeple. The steeple is a landmark and can be seen from miles away. A new exterior perimeter drainage system was installed this past fall. The schoolhouse at the foot of the driveway is a landmark reminding us of the days when children of many ages were educated in one room school houses.

“This ‘small’ big church on the hill is a sight to behold,” she said. “What happens inside gets shared with the greater community. We may be small in number, but we are mighty in deed. All things are possible with God, after all.”

The church is located on the Lower Road (County Route 2) in Putnam Station. For more information call the church at 547-8378.

Ten schools participated and Charboneau’s bridge withstood 169 pounds, making it the fifth strongest bridge out of 79 bridges in the contest. The capital district engineers awarded Ticonderoga High School $200, which was presented to Brandon by Graham Bailey of the Ticonderoga Kiwanis Club.

Internet expansion key for region Much more work remains to be done

A

statewide $25 million project to expand high-speed internet access in rural New York through the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program is welcome news.

The project includes $2.1 million to provide high-speed, low-cost broadband service to 457 households in the unserved areas of Schroon and North Hudson. The service will be delivered utilizing fiber to the home technology.

Also included is $557,000 for Essex County broadband service expansion. That money will provide high-speed broadband service to households that do not have access in Jay and Wilmington, passing 1,900 homes. The project will also provide digital video services and potentially a competitive telephone service.

Statewide the projects will build approximately 6,000 square miles of new infrastructure and will provide high-speed internet service to 153,000 New York households, 8,000 businesses and 400 community anchor institutions.

While internet use has become the norm, it’s still not available in many areas. High-speed service, normally provided through cable companies, typically stops where cable television service ends. That means hundreds of rural areas remain without high-speed internet access.

High-speed internet expansion is crucial for the North Country, which faces the “digital divide.”

The term was coined by sociologists to describe a split in American society between those with access to readily available information and those who do not. Most agree, people without access to the internet are at a disadvantage.

Information and communication technologies are vital in today’s world, just as reading was centuries ago. Internet access can impact education, economic equality, social mobility and a host of other issues. Today’s students need the internet. Most employment applications are now found on line. Facebook, Twitter and other internet social media dominate today’s society.

Internet access also benefits entire communities. It can lead to a healthier democracy through increased public participation in elections and decision making processes. It can also foster economic development and growth.

Bridging the “digital divide” is necessary in a democratic society, otherwise the United States runs the risk of becoming a nation of “haves” and “have nots.” The Connect NY Broadband Grant Program should be lauded for its efforts.

But there’s work to be done. Even after the announcement in March of 18 Connect NY Broadband Grant Program projects, many rural areas will remain without high-speed internet. The state awarded $25 million for internet expansion, but $89 million was requested. That left many North Country communities still lagging. Let’s hope the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program continues until all of New York has the internet access it needs. Ñ

Letters to the Editor

LOWV membership growing To the Times of Ti: It is my pleasure to tell you that our local League of Women Voters was recognized recently by the League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS) for significant growth in our membership and our continued commitment to our community and the mission of the League of Women Voters.

In the past year, our membership has grown by well over 20 percent, thanks largely to our membership committee, the candidates’ debate presented in cooperation with Mountain Lake PBS, our recent presentation on Campaign Finance Reform, monthly Forums with speakers including Dr. J. W. Wiley, Alice Recore, Dr. Stephen Leveston, and our presentations in Essex and at the Plattsburgh Public Library of the film, GASLAND. “We are thrilled to see that the Plattsburgh League of Women Voters is thriving and committed to serving its community,” said national president Elisabeth MacNamara. “The League is a true grassroots organization. Without strong and devoted Leagues like Plattsburgh’s, helping to make democracy work in communities across the country, we would not have been able to accomplish all that we have over the last 93 years, nor would we be able

to continue our mission for years to come.”

While we appreciate the recognition, we believe that the greatest possible reward is seeing more members of our community actively involved in the issues that are critical to all of us. We know that the more individuals who join the League to become part of our work, the better it is for all of us.

We welcome everyone to visit our website www.plattsburgh. ny/lwvnet.org and watch the local press for news of our next public event on 1 May at Plattsburgh Public Library.

Sally Sears-Mack, President LWV Plattsburgh

Atheistic, Muslim beliefs on TV To the Times of Ti: Re: Viewpoint Dan Alexander – “Thoughts From Behind the Press Lines” After reading your article in the Times of Ti, I was encouraged to also add my opinion to what is happening not only in our government but on our airways.

A few weeks ago Matt Lauer aired an interview he had previ-

ously taped with a former Navy Seal’s wife. Matt’s question was “what would your husband want his children to remember him for?” She said “His Love for Jesus Christ!” But when it aired Matt Lauer edited it out!

Make no mistake the government rules our airways, and some newspapers. Glad they don’t ours! Channels 3, 4, 5 and Channels Oprah Owns, I do not watch. The airways are being flooded with atheistic and Muslim beliefs.

The reason Matt Lauer gave for editing our Jesus Christ was because he did not want to offend anyone. Well I’m offended!

I’m sure the Navy Seal that loved Jesus Christ would be offended. He gave his life for freedom. The only ones that would be offended by Jesus Christ would be an atheist or a Moslem.

I can’t wait for all the people who voted for this administration to one day see what it really stands for, and to see what lies ahead for our country. This country was founded on God and his laws.

Fasten your seat belts America – you are in for a horrible ride!

Christians don’t have to worry. God’s plan will be carried out.

Read your Bible, you will know how it all ends!

f Earth were an apple, the skin of the apple would be the thickness of our world’s atmosphere. Indeed, we are most fortunate in our distance from the sun: On one side of us, we have the planet Venus which has extremely violent weather patterns with temperatures of 9000 F and 99 percent carbon dioxide; on the other side, we have Mars, a dry planet where temperatures of -800 F are common. Indeed, our planet’s placement is most critical and fortunate.

Should We Be Worried?

Should we be worried about our world warming up? My answer is yes! Most of the north polar ice has melted leaving some 90 percent of the ice in the southern glacial Antarctic region. This is resulting in an increased heat and pressure/wind gradient causing unprecedented weather violence. Glacial melting with its added moisture could theoretically raise the water levels to disastrous levels flooding the coastal cities. This would occur especially if Antarctic’s west glacial mass were to break off and melt; and, because of all this, it would seem inevitable that the El Nino would also change — a system in itself little understood.

And, this has all happened much faster than history would predict. For example, Ice Ages are roughly correlated to our planet’s changing orbit, tilt, and gyration; global change in temperatures of 2 or 30 F can transform the landscape with a noticeable effect,

as suggested above. These changing patterns occur over thousands of years.

The primary cause for this global warming and changing weather is the excess buildup of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere due to emissions from factories, houses, cities, automobiles, ships, planes, etc.etc. Let’s first take a look at some of the “solutions” already in place and the arguments for and against.

Solar Power, making use of the heat of the sun, and Wind Power are used to generate heat in the winter and running fans and cooling units in the summer. Solar and wind are fine on an individual level; but, on an industrial level we can’t get enough consistent energy to be cost effective.

Because coal and other carbon dioxide producing fuels are used to produce electricity we need to consider non-gaseous solutions, such as nuclear power. However, developing nuclear fission reactors and fusion reactors (still theoretical) is still in its infancy. Nuclear fusion (the power of the sun and stars) would be the better of the two but still has many problems. The major argument against nuclear power is what we do with the radioactive waste until it deteriorates enough to be safe. There are plenty of underground storage possibilities, though quite expensive.

Another interesting observation is the danger in the Northern Rim, which is the total land mass north of the equator with considerably more than in the southern hemisphere. In The North, methane in the form of methane clathrates is locked up in the permafrost; if the permafrost keeps melting, it will release a gas

twenty times more potent than carbon dioxide. Another observation is that, amazing as it seems, cities are considered green because they are relatively efficient. Here we have the convenience of shopping, community contact, cultural events, cost effective transportation such as buses, subways, etcetera, and where we can walk, run, bike, skate, doing our chores — good health benefits here. Indeed, if we had 70 to 80 percent of the world living in cities, we would free some three percent of land, which is about 1,800,000 square miles that could be used to grow crops, breed and graze cattle, develop fish hatcheries, and for forestation and recreation to keep species of wild life from extinction and for the production oxygen essential for life in general. We need sources that are not combustible and not land intensive as solar and wind power. We also need a universal, free thinking, uninhibited public and system of education without mass denial and unjustified prejudices. I cannot overstress education; indeed, the more the better! We must emphasize research in fission and fusion nuclear energy, and look for other possibilities. We must do the same with genetic engineering, which is what nature has been doing with all life forms for some 13.7 billon years, to improve our food and medical crops, develop better strains of food, fertilizers, and pesticides, herbicides, — all things green. It is up to us as individuals and the world governments — “to do or die.”

Firefighters From page 1 Saturday, April 27, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We will have members present to take the public around the station and show them the fire house as well as the fire trucks and equipment and answer any questions anyone has,” said Matt Watts, assistant chief. “We will have applications available as well. We will offer lights refreshments throughout the event.

Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to take a ride in our Tower Truck, which reaches 100 feet in the air. Ò This the third year of the FASNY program and I believe it has been very successful,” he said. “We have recruited half a dozen new members over the past two years during this event. While the goal is to recruit new members we also use this opportunity to show the community what we are all about.”

Chilson The Chilson Volunteer Fire Department will serve a free pancake breakfast and picnic lunch Saturday, April 27, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of its open house.

The event will feature Larry Lauman’s Chilson apple pancakes for breakfast and burgers and hot dogs for lunch at the fire department at 60 Putts Pond Road. People can learn how to become an auxiliary department member or a firefighter member. People can also tour the fire trucks and equipment. Call 585-2510 for more information.

“The success of a volunteer fire department depends on all kinds of people, not just firefighters,” said Chilson Chief Steve Hunsdon.

A volunteer fire department, he explained, has two kinds of members — firefighter members and auxiliary members.

“We’re always on the lookout for auxiliary members — volunteers who can help us with things like planning special events, or maintenance and repairs — just about anything folks can do, from cooking to mowing grass to office paperwork, we can use their help.”

Chilson FD auxiliary members do not have to live within the fire district.

In addition to breakfast and lunch, visitors to the open house will be able to look over the fire trucks and to inspect the firefighters’ turn-out gear and other tools of the trade. Families and children are welcome.

“As history dictates, the fire department acts as an anchor to the community,” Chief James Hughes said. “Our all volunteer fire department assumes the responsibility of protecting our businesses, residences and people. It is the responsibility of village government to provide the means i.e. fire station, fire trucks, tools, equipment, etc. in order to continue to meet these goals.

The continuous planning, maintenance and improvement to our village infrastructure is imperative if we desire our community to continue to thrive and grow and to attract to new businesses and residents to our village. Ò The Port Henry Fire Department provides many services to our residents within the incorporated village and surrounding communities,” he continued. “For example, our department provides fire protection that includes the use of three pumpers, one brush truck, one rescue van and a dive/rescue boat.

Ti School From page 1 employee health insurance is up $150,000 in 201314. Also expected to increase are fuel, heating, utility and other costs.

Also, after three years of concessions, Ticonderoga teachers will return to their contractual salary schedule and receive a 2.8 percent pay increase.

To reach the state tax cap, the school board has eliminated custodial summer workers, decided not to hire a new high principal, eliminated a librarian, cut consultants, phased out the high school choral director position, made insurance adjustments and decided to participate in the state’s pension reform program. Those changes save the district $322,815.

That still leaves a $540,000 budget gap that will be closed by one of three options. The options include: —Scenario #1 eliminates all athletic programs, cuts all extracurricular activities, cuts some nonmandated academic programs and eliminates 11 full-time equivalent positions; —Scenario #2 offers only “lifetime” sports cross country, track, bowling and golf, cuts most extracurricular activities, reduces non-mandated academic programs and eliminates 14 full-time equivalent positions.

Ticonderoga Elks Past Exalted Ruler Marjorie Hurlburt gave a certificate of appreciation for exemplary support of programs benefiting youth, veterans, country and community to Nathanial McLaughlin and Douglas Baker recently. She also presented the boys with a purple lodge shirt. Looking on are Exalted Ruler Jeff Nowc and Past Grand Exalted Ruler David Carr.

—Scenario #3 retains the present varsity and modifi ed sports programs, but cuts all junior varsity teams, cuts some extracurricular activities, reduces non-mandated academic programs and eliminates 15 full-time equivalent positions.

McDonald doesn’t believe Ticonderoga residents want Scenario #1, calling it the “least likely” proposal to have taxpayer support. Athletic and extracurricular programs are important to the community, he said, although they cost about $300,000 a year.

“I hope people will attend the public hearings and voice their feelings,” McDonald said. “We developed three scenarios so people could have a say in the budget proposal.”

After hearing from taxpayers the Ti school board will consider the three options and select one to be included in the fi nal budget proposal. That spending plan will then go voters May 21.

Should voters reject Ticonderoga’s proposed budget May 21 the district can resubmit it for another vote. If the plan is defeated again, the district must go to a contingency budget.

“A contingency budget really scares me,” McDonald said. “It would be devastating to our school.”

State regulations require a no tax increase in a contingency budget. That would mean an addition $389,854 in budget cuts, no athletic or extracurricular programs and the elimination of 24 full-time equivalent jobs.

WESTPORT Ñ Champlain Area Trails has launched its first photo contest, “A View from the Trails.”

Participants are asked to submit a photograph taken from a CATS trail along with a short 25-100 word caption about the picture. Ò We invite people to send in their favorite photos and include few words about each picture—it can be about why they hiked there that day, what happened during the hike, who they walked with, what it made them think of, or anything else that inspired the picture,” said Jen Zahorchak, the CATS communications manager. “The winning entry will win $250 and People’s Choice prize with the most online votes is $100; so it is definitely worth the time to submit one or a several photos along with captions.”

The photo contest is part of a continuing effort CATS is pursuing to boost the local economy through outdoor recreation based tourism. It has already held three travel-writing contests for people to describe hiking trails, visiting town, historic sites and businesses, and meeting local people. Ò People research vacation destinations online, so as they look into visiting the northeast, we want them to see pictures and travel articles about New York’s Champlain Valley and get inspired to come here, enjoy the outdoors, patronize local businesses, and then tell others about it,” said Chris Maron, CATS executive director.

The CATS photo contest, underwritten with a grant from the J.C. Kellogg Foundation, will run through May 15 with prizes awarded this summer. Entrants should submit their photos to catscontest@gmail.com. For more information visit www.champlainareatrails.com/contest or call 962-2287.

CATS is a local non-profit organization whose purpose is to develop hiking/skiing trails that link Champlain Valley communities, connect people to nature, promote economic vitality, and protect habitat and scenic vistas.

Kiwanis name contest winners

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Kiwanis has named the winners of its annual “Win at 55” contest.

Mark Rooney and Julia Bartlett were the closest to the actual time and split first and second prizes, earning $400 apiece. Bud Bresett and Susan Benedict tied for third place and divided $200.

“The Ticonderoga Kiwanis is a thriving organization of men, women and youth, who are dedicated to serving children and improving the quality of life,” said Bob Dedrick of the club. “One of our missions calls each of us to provide, through our club, a practical means to form and foster enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build a better community.

“In our quest to reach this mission we have championed, in whole or part, many projects,” he added. “Some of our projects have included the Percy Thompson Memorial Park, including the playground, the gazebo and many park benches; the Ticonderoga municipal beach; senior citizens holiday luncheon; Easter Egg hunt; high school/middle school bridge building contest; and a sponsor of a Little League team. We are able to help our communities through many fundraiser endeavors. Thanks to all who purchased a ticket.”

Crown Point planning Memorial Day events Annual observance May 26 and 27

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ă‘ Crown Point will observe Memorial Day for the 146th time next month.

The organizing committee is planning a two-day event, highlighting the contributions of past and present veterans. Ă’ With several new committee members in place we have a renewed energy,Ă“ said Jodi Gibbs, committee chairwoman. Ă’ We are planning a two-day event with activities and entertainment

in the town park complete with a grand ďŹ reworks display and parade.Ă“ The 2-13 Memorial Day observance will be held Sunday, May 26, and Monday, May 27.

SundayÕ s events will begin with an ecumenical church service. That will be followed by amusement rides, vendors, entertainment and Penelope the Clown in the park. Fireworks will conclude the day.

Monday will feature the traditional solemn tour of Crown Point cemeteries, activities in the park and the annual parade along Main Street. Ò The theme for this yearÕ s parade is Crown PointÕ s 225th birth-

day,Ă“ Gibbs said.

The cemetery tour will include stops at Sacred Heart Cemetery, the Congregational Church, the Ironville Cemetery, the White Church Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, the Putnam Creek Bridge, Forestdale Cemetery and the Veterans Monument in the town park at noon.

To help fund the Memorial Day events the committee will hold a coin drop May 3 and 4 as well as a dinner, silent auction and basket rafe on May 17.

Anyone with questions or wishing to participate should contact Gibbs at 597-3492.

Vendors sought for Crown Point Strawberry Festival Event slated for June 30

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ă‘ Vendors interested in participating in the ninth annual Crown Point Strawberry Festival are asked to reserve their spots soon.

The event, sponsored by the First Congregational Church, will be held in the town park Sunday, June 30, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Vendors are welcome to take part at no charge, but they are asked to register to reserve space. Interested vendors can call Gary Stevens at 597-3520. Ò I expect the park to be full that day,Ó Pastor David Hirtle of the First Congregational Church said. Ò The Strawberry Festival has become a pretty popular event. Ò The idea is to showcase Crown Point in a friendly, family atmosphere,Ó he added. Ò WeÕ re not interested in making money, thatÕ s why thereÕ s no charge for vendors. All we really hope to do is break even and have a great day.Ó The festival continues to grow. This year a classic car show will be added to the event. Tom Neddo is organizing that part of the festival along with the Champlain Valley Cruisers Club.

Also included will be the churchÕ s Ò famousÓ strawberry shortcakes made with local berries, strawberry ice cream sundaes provided by Stewarts, burgers, hot dogs, sausage, Pepsi products, onions and peppers, barbecue by Crown Point Bar-B-Que and PeggyÕ s Ò famousÓ michigan sauce. Meat will be provided by McKenzieÕ s Classic Meats.

The band Loose Connections will perform, amusement rides will be provided by Amyland Amusement, there will be a Ă’ Jump for Joyâ€? bounce tent and rafes for items donated by local businesses. Ă’ This year, we are pleased to partner with Champlain Valley Classic Cars who will bring up to 30 beautiful, classic vehicles as eye-candy for all of us,Ă“ Hirtle said. Ă’ There will be vendors-aplenty to make attendance a great experience.Ă“ The festival started nine years ago when church member Charlie Harrington, now the town supervisor, had an abundance of strawberries and suggested a social. Ă’ Charlie had a bumper group and suggested we do something,Ă“ Hirtle recalled. Ă’ ItĂ• s turned out to be a great success. “The ďŹ rst two years we had two full days of activities,â€? he added, Ă’ but we decided to consolidate things into one day and get the community more involved. Now itĂ• s one of the best days of the year in Crown Point.Ă“ The First Congregational Church of Crown Point traces its history to 1804. Proceeds from the strawberry festival will be used to support its historic buildings as well as provide funds for outreach programs in the community as well as fuel, food and heating assistance. Ă’ We have helped to organize and participated in a Thanksgiving dinner for those in the community who would not have adequate food to mark the holiday,Ă“ Hirtle said. Ă’ We also run and staff Second Blessings thrift shop here in Crown Point. This outreach is provided on a donation basis only. Items in our shop are given, even without a donation to those in need.Ă“

John Freeman, from the Adirondack Mountain Club, and David Thomas-Train will discuss the ADK Fire Tower Walking Challenge. Ò It is a wonderful family activity that includes walking to summits with fire towers, earning an official patch as a recognition for completing the challenge and learning more about nature and the environment,Ó said Loris Clark of the historical society.

Families who are interested in the challenge and cannot make the meeting can get more information from the ADK

Mountain Club at 668-4447.

The Schroon-North Hudson Historical Society was founded in 1972. Since that time the society has grown to 280 members and operates a museum at 1144 US Route 9, Schroon Lake.

The officers and board of directors continually plan for future expansion to house the ever growing collection of valuable artifacts. In addition to operating the museum, the society conducts several community events each year.

Interested people can contact the Schroon-North Hudson Historical Society at 532-7615 or Clark at 532-0533, e-mail SNHHSI@verizon.net.

Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce.

One of the key aspects of the master plan is lodging. The 2009 report cited the need for new, upgraded tourism accommodations in Schroon Lake and progress is being made, Friedman noted. Ò The past year saw encouraging results Ñ new rental units are in the works at Witherbees, Woods Lodge on Schroon Lake has been purchased with the plan to create an upscale lodging facility, comprehensive remodeling at the Word of Life Inn has taken place with a family oriented emphasis, two other lodging projects appear to be making progress and two older motels have received funding from the town of SchroonÕ s Revolving Loan Fund for renovations,Ó he said.

And there have been other successes. Ò The new Memorial Day festivities had good participation (in 2012) and this event was an excellent kick-off for the summer season,Ó Friedman said. Ò The cancellation of the dog sled races was a setback, but with good snow we should be better prepared for 2014. There also appears to be interest in restarting the snowshoe race in the Hoffman Notch area.Ó He also noted the town Spruce-Up Day, the Community Garden, the First Night celebration and the Schroon Lake Chili

Cook Off were successful and appear to be part of the communityÕ s future. The council plans to continue its work on Schroon LakeÕ s annual July 4th celebration, youth programs and beautification projects. Ò The partnering of the Word of Life and the Seagle Colony at the Fourth of July festivities was a real crowd pleaser and is planned to continue,Ó Friedman said. Ò For 2013 the town of Schroon will have fireworks launched from a barge which will ease the restrictions for seating on the slope by the beach and traffic control. The town of Schroon’s Youth Commission has continued its strong program for the communityÕ s youth. The summer of 2012 saw beautification of the post office area and scheduled for the summer of 2013 is a modest redesign of the garden in front of town hall.Ó This summer could see more tourism as victims of Superstorm Sandy stay closer to home for vacations, Friedman said. Ò As the North Country gears up for another spring-summer-fall season, it is predicted that the devastating effects of Super Storm Sandy on the New York and New Jersey beach areas will have positive effect on Adirondack tourism,Ó he said. Ò Nonetheless our prayers are for a full recovery of the damaged areas.Ó To help attract tourist, Friedman noted, the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce has updated and improved its website and 360DACKS, a local internet marketing company specializing in 360 degree virtual tours, has added Schroon Lake to its site.

The Schroon Lake Tourism Council is also hopeful a pair of state grants will assist the community. The state has announced a $300,000 grant for implementation of the Lake Management Plan for Schroon Lake and $2.1 million has been approved to bring broadband internet to the community.

Tourism council reviews progress, is pleased with accomplishments

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ Schroon Lake continues to make advances in tourism.

ThatÕ s the assessment of the Schroon Lake Tourism Council. The group, which formed four years ago, recently met to review steps in its master plan and to discuss future activities. Ò The purpose of the committee is to identify and implement activities that directly support the blueprint (master plan),Ó said Roger Friedman, a council member. Ò Schroon Lake is not unique in the challenge that its year round and second home populations struggle to support all services and amenities desired by the residents. Thus, there is an emphasis on improving and expanding the tourism experience which will improve revenues and potentially create additional year round jobs.Ó The master plan, adopted in 2009, was completed with the assistance of a consultant from Egret Communications. The project was part of a Smart Growth grant awarded to Essex County.

The blueprint contains specific actions, including the formation of a tourism council to operate under the auspices of the

Moriah supervisor bemoans lack of internet Scozzafava disappointed town didn’t get state grant

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Tom Scozzafava just doesn’t understand.

The Moriah supervisor and other town offi cials have repeatedly asked the state to help extend internet service throughout the community, but when Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a $2.1 million grant to expand high-speed internet access in North Country communities March 5 Moriah was left out.

“We certainly need greater internet access,” Scozzafava said. “We’ve spoken to the state and to Time Warner (Moriah’s cable television and internet provider). We just can’t get any help.

“We’ll keep trying,” he added. “We’ll approach the state again and we’ll continue to talk to Time Warner.”

Eighteen broadband projects were selected to receive $25 million in Connect NY Broadband grants.

“Through the Connect NY program, we are bringing high-speed internet access to all corners of New York State,”

Cuomo said, announcing the grants. “The projects receiving these grants represent the very best proposals with the most potential to benefi t statewide economic and community development efforts. These funds will strengthen New York’s broadband capacity and encourage sustainable adoption of broadband service in unserved and under-served communities, counties and regions across the state.”

Cuomo announced the $25 million Connect NY grant program in August in an effort to promote broadband internet access across the state, strengthen communities and spur economic development. More than $89 million in broadband applications were submitted.

In Moriah areas along Cheney Road, West Road and others lack internet service. Scozzafava said there are few homes in those areas so Time Warner doesn’t believe it’s economically feasible to provide service there.

“They’ve got a monopoly here,” Scozzafava said of Time Warner. “They’re the only internet service in town. We’ll talk to them again, but I don’t expect any help from Time Warner.”

That leaves the state and the Connect NY program.

As part of the March 5 grant funding a $2.1 million grant was awarded to expand high-speed internet access in Schroon and North Hudson.

The $2,162,656 Schroon Lake Next Generation Broadband

Project will allow Slic Networks Solutions to provide highspeed, low-cost broadband service to 457 households in the unserved areas of Schroon and North Hudson. The service will be delivered utilizing fi ber to the home technology.

The Schroon Lake hamlet has internet service provided by Time Warner Cable.

The Schroon-North Hudson project is part of a statewide $25 million project to expand high-speed internet access in rural upstate and under-served urban areas of New York through the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program.

The March 5 funding also includes $557,000 for Essex County broadband service expansion. That money will provide high-speed broadband service to households that do not have access in Jay and Wilmington, passing 1,900 households. The project will also provide digital video services and potentially a competitive telephone service.

Cuomo said the new projects will build approximately 6,000 square miles of new infrastructure and will provide highspeed internet service to 153,000 New York households, 8,000 businesses and 400 community anchor institutions.

“In addition to the vast economic benefi ts derived from broadband access, the projects being funded by Connect NY will create 1,400 new jobs,” Cuomo said.

Moriah courthouse will receive upgrades with help from state grant

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The Moriah court house will be able to make improvements after receiving a grant from the state.

Thanks to an $8,000 grant for improvements and upgrades from the state Offi ce of Court Administration the court will be able to purchase up to 42 new chairs for the court room, provide the court clerk with a workstation and will allow the construction of a records storage area.

“It’s going to be really benefi cial to the court house to have these, the court clerk will receive a badly needed improved work station, we will be able to accommodate more people in the court, and we’ll be able to build a room to house all of the court documents in a room that can keep them safe from becoming damaged,” said Justice Brian Venne.

The records are currently kept at the town clerk’s offi ce and are in boxes. Venne said the space is becoming too small to handle incoming documents.

“The new space will get the documents to the court house where we can more readily have access them and will be more organized,” said Venne.

Individual courts could submit a request for up to $30,000 for facility improvements. Venne said Moriah applied for funds that would have allowed the courthouse to digitally save all of the documents.

“We’re grateful for what we have received from the state, and if we can’t get them digitally saved it is good to be able to create a place where the documents will be in a temperature controlled setting to preserve them,” said Venne. “This grant in the past has helped us build onto the court room and it has helped to greatly improve our courthouse.”

The grant has allocated $2,955.49 for the courtroom furniture, $1,703.23 for creating the record storage area, and an additional $1,047 for the new workstation for the court clerk.

Moriah Central School recently held its annual seventh and eighth grade Spelling Bee. Nicholas Manfred, an eighth grade student, was the champion. The runner up was Jay Strieble, a seventh grade student. From left are: Alison Burch, high school principal, Manfred, and Todd Bilow, coordinator.

Searching for spring

A

fter waiting and watching for the backwoods ponds to shed winter’s hard cap, I couldn’t take it anymore.

Two full weeks had passed since the Opening Day of trout season and I’d fi nally had enough.

So, I loaded up a boat, packed the usual gear including rods, net, PFD, and a fi shing vest bulging with a pile of my fi nest fl ies, lies and lures.

I also tossed in a pair of snowshoes in for good measure, before setting off to fi nd open water. As I traveled north from home, I noticed that Lake Flower in the village of Saranac Lake had shed most of its ice cover.

However, I also knew that the shallow lake has a steady current, as it is formed by an impoundment on the Saranac River.

On the opposite side of the village, I stopped to check Lake Colby which holds a generous population of browns and rainbows, as well as landlocked salmon. To my dismay, the lake was nearly completely covered with ice that was fi rm enough to support skaters.

There was however, one small opening where a small stream enters from a nearby marsh.

There was hardly enough open water to fl oat a boat, so it remained on the cartop racks.

Following a few futile casts, it was obvious nothing was interested in what I had to offer.

So, I packed up the gear and headed further north toward Lake Clear.

Lake Clear has an expansive western exposure, which often provides the strong winds necessary to break up the ice pack. But, as I strolled to the lakeshore from the parking lot, it was obvious the winds weren’t working so well this year.

Although there was enough of an opening near the inlet to fl oat a boat, I knew the depth of the open water was more conducive to wading than boating. There was no evidence of any smelt in the brook, and no tracks of predators on the sandy shore.

If smelt were around, they would attract salmon and browns, as well as heron, gulls, eagles and osprey. However, there were no threetoed tracks in the mud or the sand.

However, I still took a couple of dozen compulsory casts, and I even tossed out a bobber with a worm dangling below in an effort to attract any type of fi nned creature. It was to no avail.

My next stop was a short distance further north, to the St. Regis Lakes. As I had expected, the large lakes were sealed tighter than a drum with ice that offered evidence of recent snowmobile traffi c. I hit a few of the inlets just for the sake of practicing my casting abilities, and to ensure the due diligence of my scouting mission.

The region’s signifi cant snowpack discouraged me from bothering to journey into any of the ponds in the locale, although I did make a brief stop at Black Pond on Keese Mill Road, where I discovered that even the small outlet pond was as of yet, fi rmly covered.

I did get to wet a line in the St. Regis River, which is directly across the road from Black Pond’s parking area. In year’s past, I’ve taken a few small brookies below the outlet dam, but not this year. After losing one good lure to a tree branch, and another to a snag, I decided the location was just too expensive for my meager tacklebox and I moved on.

Similar stops continued as I headed west towards Tupper Lake, to visit Bog River Falls.

Along the way I checked out a few waters, including Lake Clear outlet, Follensby Clear Pond outlet, and a few others around the Fish Creek Ponds. Firm ice was all I found, except for a few of the inlets, outlets and the resulting streams.

Winter is really holding its own this year.

However, it was nice to take my boat out for a drive. I also had quite a few folks stop to ask if I’d managed to catch anything beyond a cold.

Most of the inquisitors were old friends who had actually stopped to check on my sanity, which was certainly a viable question at that point in the day.

I skipped out on checking any of the usual fi shing holes on the way to Tupper, and headed directly to Bog River Falls. The location is a beautiful sight, and in the early season it attracts a variety of fi sh species including pike, bass, lake trout, salmon and the occasional brook trout.

Due to the shallow waters and the turbulence of the frothing falls, the south end of the lake warms up sooner than the rest of the fl ow; which often results in active fi sh. It doesn’t hurt matters much that there is also an annual run of smelt at the falls.

So, I took a couple dozen casts, and a lot of photos before leaving. However, I didn’t go home empty handed this time.

As I climbed the steep bank away from the falls, I was nearly clobbered by a large branch from a birch tree that was blown down by the stiff winds. The branch landed nearby and it

www.timesofti.com

was dangling with ornaments like a redneck Christmas tree. I discovered nearly a dozen lures and spoons tangled up in the mess, including several, brand new jointed Rapalas, a few spinner baits and several Daredevils. I’ve lost my share of fl ies and lures to the trees over the years, so it was nice to get a few back.

In the future, I’ll pay more attention to the surrounding canopy before I set off. I’m more likely to replenish my tackle box than catch fi sh.

After a long day of searching for fi sh, I fi nally turned toward home. It was late in the afternoon when I got back, and I was still anxious to land the fi st trout of the season. So, I skidded the canoe over the snow in my backyard and plopped it in the stream.

With a paddle in one hand and a fl yrod in the other, I set off in search of brookies. I tossed everything at them, short of a stick of dynamite, and I never raised a single fi sh.

However, I did manage to greet an angry beaver at the entrance to his lodge, and I jumped several pairs of mallards that were resting in the cover of the shallows.

Even though the trout failed to cooperate, it was good to be out on the stream. It was a chance to be reacquainted with the spring woods and waters. I expect the tables will soon turn in favor of the angler, and for now I’m willing to take my licks, nicks and kicks. That’s the way I fi gure it.

Woman’s Fly Fishing Seminar

Over the years’ I’ve had the pleasure of fi shing with many competent fl yfi shemen. However, there have also been many women among the fl yfi sher ‘men’, I’ve accompanied.

I’ve always believed women pick up the sport more easily than men, and I far prefer to instruct them. Women are better listeners, and they tend to accomplish tasks like casts, by learning the proper techniques rather than ‘bulling’ their way through it.

Women are also better listeners and are willing to ask questions when they don’t understand. Most importantly, they usually haven’t developed the bad habit of attempting to accomplish a cast by ‘throwing the football’.

Women are more willing to allow the rod to do the work for them, whereas men often attempt to ‘throw the long bomb” with a fl yrod, which is a recipe for failure.

There is now an opportunity for women interested in learning the sport, to get some solid hands-on training. The Lake Champlain Chapter of Trout Unlimited will be sponsoring a twoday fl y- fi shing seminar for women June 22nd and 23rd on the Saranac River in Plattsburgh.

Program Coordinator Janice Opal explained, “This seminar is geared exclusively for women looking to begin or improve their fl y-fi shing skills. It will cover instruction from beginner to advanced stages of fl y-fi shing, fl y fi shing tips and tactics, and hands-on instruction pertaining to Lake Champlain tributary-style fi shing, which can also be applied to many other streams, creeks and rivers.”

Opal said the seminar will take place in a relaxed atmosphere where participants will learn how stream entomology applies to tying fl ies that fi sh species eat, beginner fl y-tying, and how to rig and make casts using traditional fl y rods and reels.

The deadline to register is June 8. Registration is $50. Participants must be age 18 or older and must have a current New York State fi shing license. The seminar is limited to 12 participants. The seminar will be held rain or shine.

Participants should dress for the weather and bring bug repellant and sun block as needed.

Some equipment will be available at the seminar, including rods and reels, but those who have a good, working fl y rod set-up should bring it.

Trout Unlimited is reaching out to women anglers this year offering a one year introductory membership. As part of this seminar, all participants will become members of TU. More information will be available at the seminar.

Classes will be at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 22, at the Conservation Building on the Clinton County Fairgrounds in Plattsburgh, and at 8 a.m. Sunday June 23 For more information or to pre-register contact Janice Opal at: jopal@charter.net .

Fire and ash S

pring is here and the woodstoves will be going into the summer mode. They will be shut down and cleaned out, semi-retired for the season. Wood ash will be shoveled out and put into ash buckets and dumped over the bank, along with the winter’s worth of cleanings, probably 5 to 10 buckets worth.

Whoa, let’s backtrack in time, and reevaluate what we have here. Wood ash is not a waste product. Wood ash is a valuable natural resource, from a renewable resource — trees! This so called waste product has many uses.

First let’s look at where it came from, and then we will fi gBy Rich Redman ure out where it should go.

A tree starts out as a seedling, and then grows to a sapling, then to a small tree or pole timber, then to a saw log, and fi nally to old age, unless Mr. Stihl or Mr. Husqvarna decide to intervene, and turn the tree into a log for boards or for fi re wood. Culling out damaged, diseased or inferior species of trees for fi rewood or other wood products are sound forestry and silvicultural practices and should be encouraged, not frowned upon. Try to leave a few dead trees per acre for cavity nesting birds.

As a tree grows, the nutrients and water in the soil are taken in by the root hairs and transported throughout the tree. Nutrients and minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and other trace minerals are taken in through the roots, which also support the tree. Much of what is taken up depends on what is in the soil. Rich soils versus nutrient poor soils make a difference in the quality of the tree, type of tree and nutrients in the tree. Some trees like aspen (popple) are higher in calcium, while others have different ratios of minerals in them.

OK, we have looked at the roots. Now, what about the leaves? The leaves are involved in the greatest wonder of the ecological world; photosynthesis. This stuff is very cool. Without this process, there would be no vegetation on earth. We would not exist. The earth would be a dead rock fl oating around in space. (Some scientists will call me out on this and say there would be some slime mold or something weird like that that would grow, but hey, I’m trying to keep it simple). Photosynthesis is the process where solar energy is converted to chemical energy. Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight are used to produce glucose, oxygen and water. The chemical reaction is 6CO two, 12H two O plus sunlight ---converts to C two H twelve O six and 6 O two and 6H two O. Which means carbon dioxide and water plus sunlight converts in the leaf to glucose (sugar) with oxygen and water given off. Solar energy is being converted to chemical energy.

The minerals and nutrients along with the glucose and water combined with the biological process of cell division and all the other wonders of growth make a tree, shrub, fl ower, alfalfa, green bean, corn plant and grass plant that feeds wildlife, dairy cows and grass-fed beef. This stuff is the real deal, not science fi ction.

So, you had your dry fi rewood (clean wood, no paint or wood preservatives) stacked up.

You’ve handled it 3, 4 or 5 times now and it’s fi nally made it to the stove. The fi nal heating cycle you get from the wood is when you burn it. Now you ask, what is the burning process?

Living things are made of oxygen, carbon and hydrogen along with all the minerals that we got from the roots and the glucose from the leaves. When wood gets hot it, the chemical bonds of the cells and structure of the wood start breaking down and they releases gases; hydrogen is one of them. This process is called pyrolysis. The released gases, burn due to the addition of oxygen from the air. Parts of the wood like sap and resins have greater deposits of glucose which is a volatile compound, making it very fl ammable. The carbon and minerals are resistant to burning. That’s what your ash is composed of, the left over products of combustion that didn’t burn, carbon (charcoal) and minerals, which added together we call ASH. Depending upon the temperature in the woodstove, more or less of the carbon compounds get burned off. The high temperatures due to increased oxygen, burn off more carbon leaving only minerals. Now you know what ash is! So what do you do with it?

Ash is used as a soil amendment to increase the pH of the soil. You can add all of those minerals that the roots took in over the years and spread them around the yard for growing grass, trees, and in your garden. Check out gardening books and see what the pH should be for the plants you are growing. You don’t want to try growing acid loving plants like blueberries in neutral, alkaline soils. Most of the recommendations I’ve seen, say about 10 pounds of ash per 1,000 square feet to start with. Ash has potassium and potash in it, but no nitrogen, which is burned off.

Common sense says; make sure the fi re in the coals and ash is completely out before you use it. Sadly, common sense doesn’t prevail anymore so I must resay it. Make sure the fi re is completely out before you use it. As a fi refi ghter I don’t really want to make another house call at 3 a.m. Been there, done it! Stay up wind when you spread the ash, you don’t want to breathe it in.

Wood ash is used instead of salt on the walkways and driveways to add traction during icy weather. You can use it for traction in the barn. Mix it in with manure when you spread to add minerals to the soil and it can be sprinkled on plants as an insect repellent. Mixed in with compost you get excellent nutrient rich fertilizer to spread around all those apple trees you released and pruned during the winter. Spread wood ash out on that new food plot seeding you did during the frost thaw period. Feed the plants, feed the wildlife! Over the years wood ash has also been used to make soap, and as a mild abrasive for polishing metals. And you thought it was just something to dump over the bank. This is simple recycling of nutrients. We are all part of nature’s circle of life. Our food comes from the earth.

I also have my thoughts about spreading it on stream-banks and ponds to slowly dissolve in the water to help in pH and add minerals for bugs, which feed fi sh of course. I can’t advise you to do this due to NYS DEC regulations. A permit may be required. Ash may be considered a waste product. So don’t do it without checking with DEC fi rst. You are on your own on this one.

T i baseball team eyes continued dominance

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High School baseball is like a run away train. The Sentinels just keep winning and winning and winning.

Ti will be shooting for its ninth straight Section VII Class C championship this spring.

There’s no reason to think the Sentinel won’t win another title, especially since last season’s runner-up — Moriah — has moved to Class D in 2013.

Ticonderoga has five starters returning from a year ago when the club posted a 14-8 record and won the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference Division II title. Ti advanced to the state tournament, winning a first round game before being eliminated.

Returning are Miles Austin, Tanner Wright, Ty Denno, Aaron Bush, Jordan Woods and An-

thony Costello.

“We will be led by seniors Miles Austin and Tanner Wright,” Coach Dan Dorsett said.

“Both were named league all-stars and to the all-state team.

Miles is a fouryear starter and Tanner a three-year starter on the varsity.

Jordan Woods is also a three-

April 20, 2013

year starter.”

Austin hit .451 and had 19 runs batted in to pace the Sentinels last spring.

He’ll by joined on the infield by Denno, Mark Donohue, Michael Graney, Ryan Trudeau and Blake Gautreau.

The outfield will feature Woods, Wright, Costello, Anthony Dushane, Jesse Wilson and Jarryn Granger.

Wright, who was Ti’s top hurler a year ago, returns to the mound. He’s joined on the hill by Denno, Graney, Trudeau and Granger.

Bush and David Bevins will handle the catching duties.

“We must play solid defense and buy into the concept of the team and we hope to be competitive in every game,” Dorsett said.

Helping Dorsett in the dugout will be assistant coaches Rick McClintock and Scott Nephew.

Lady Sentinels feature newcomers Youth to be served on Ti track team

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Young athletes will have an opportunity to shine on the Ticonderoga girls track team this spring.

The Sentinels will field a 15-member squad with 11 rookies.

“We have four girls returning from last year’s team,” Coach Walt Throne said. “Certainly we have no expectation, but we are optimistic based on what we have seen so far in practice.

“Lack of experience and numbers will be our greatest weakness, with a team made up of four experienced athletes and 11 first time athletes — 8 who did indoor track,” he said. “We have a lot of holes to fill.”

The Sentinels posted a 3-4 record in 2012.

Leading Ti this season will be Naomi Forkas, a state cham-

pionship race qualifier in cross Sentinel schedule country and indoor track.

Forkas will be joined in the April 20....CVAC distance races by Rebecca BarPre-Season Invitational ber, Ashlynn LaPerle and Liz April 23....at Lake Placid Aranquiz. All ran cross counMay 2........at Peru try for the locals.

TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga softball just keeps rolling along.

The Sentinels will look to defend their Champlain Valley Athletic Conference and Section VII Class C championships this spring with a strong group of returning players.

Leading the way will be a veteran battery.

Kylie Austin and Jordan McKee, two of the area’s top pitchers, return for the Sentinels along with their catcher Katie Palandrani.

The infield figures to be solid with Meg Campney, Lexi Moore, Jaelyn Granger and Taylor Dorsett returning to join rookie Maura Jebb.

Campney led the club last season with 21 runs batted in.

Andrea Rich, who led the Sentinels with a .513 batting average last year, returns to the outfield. She’s joined by newcomers Logan Mars, Sadie Hamel and Jenette Coon.

“This year we return two experienced pitchers along with a catcher,” said Shelly Young, who co-coaches the team with Shannon Huntington.

Kylie Austin returns as part of a strong Ticonderoga pitching staff.

Sentinel thinclads appear strong this season Ti has 19 track athletes returning

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga’s boys track team will again battle for Champlain Valley Athletic Conference and Section VII honors this spring.

Coach Walt Thorne’s thinclads were 6-1 in 2012 and return 19 athletes this season — including Jay Hebert, the most successful Sentinel track athlete ever.

Hebert of Ticonderoga finished eighth in the 60-meter hurdles at the New Balance Indoor Track & Field National Championships March 10 in New York City.

The Ticonderoga High School hurdler also won a pair of state titles at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association indoor track championships March 2.

Hebert was clocked in 7.31 seconds in the state championship race (55 meters) at Cornell University, setting a new personal and Section VII record. In fact, he broke his own section and school records in both the preliminary and semifinal rounds.

The win gave Hebert both the NYSPHAA and Federation

championships. The NYSPHAA includes all the state’s public schools while the Federation includes both public and private schools.

Since finishing third at the 2012 state indoor meet, Hebert’s only loses have come in national championship meets.

He won the outdoor state and Federation 110-meter hurdle crowns last spring. This winter he won the 55-meter hurdles at the New Balance Games in New York City Jan. 26 and won the Dartmouth Relays Jan. 12. Hebert is the first Section VII athlete to ever win an event at the Dartmouth Relays, according to Thorne.

While Hebert is the headline act, the Sentinels have a deep stable of athletes this spring.

Joining Hebert in the springs and jumps will be James Cook, Matt Cook, Coleman Granger, Justyn Granger, Marcus Moser, Shawn Silliman, Keegan Tierney, Skyler Gilbert, Stephen Bartlett, Tyler Loudermilk and Sean Lawrie.

Bartlett and Tierney will also throw for the Sentinels. Joining them in the shot and discus will be Steven Bussey, Cody Shaner, Zechariah McLaughlin and Taylor Coffin.

Ti will also boast a strong middle and distance corps. Silliman will join Javeed Nazir, Kody Parrott, Ryan Price, Cody O’Hara, John Cook, Martin Glazer, Brandon Charboneau, Milo Thurban and Aaron Russell. most of them ran on Ti’s conference and

“I expect our boys team to Invitational April 23....at Lake Placid be competitive in the section May 2........at Peru this season, Thorne said. “AtMay 7........at Seton titude, team balance with 19 May 9........Saranac returning athletes from last May 14......EKMW year’s outdoor team and six May 16......at Plattsburgh new members will be our May 21......AVCS main strength.

“The distance team will be led by Javeed Nazir, Kody Quigley, Shawn Silliman, Ryan Price, who had a very good indoor season,” he added. “Our sprinters will be led by Jay Hebert, state champion in the 55-meter hurdles, Coleman Granger, a member of the 4x200-meter state qualifying relay team with emergent eighth grade sprinter Justyn Granger.

“Our throwers, led by senior Steven Bussey along with Cody Shaner and Zack McLaughlin, should provide much needed points in the shot put,” he said.

Assisting Thorne this season with the coaching duties are Phil Knellor, who tutors the throwers, and Michelle Stahl, who will work with distance athletes.

The Vikings lost three of their top scorers — Landon Cross, Carlo Calabrese and Keith Ida — from last season’s 6-4 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference team.

But there’s good news. Three regulars return. Dylan Scozzafava, Derek Brassard and Travis Nephew all played in the Moriah’s top six a year ago and return for

Coach Lynn Galm.

New to the links for Moriah this spring are Wesley Belzer, Ryan Shpur, Cory Daly, Zach Beeman, Kyle Wilson, John Brassard, Nick Rotella, Brandon Hammond, Ryan Munson, Joe Stahl, Samantha Ida and Taylor Whalen.

“This year’s golf team should remain competitive after a 6-4 record last year,” Galm said. “Three positions in the top six will have to be filled due to graduation.

The key to our success will be rounding out the top six with three players that can shoot consistently.”

Schroon Wildcats lack depth this season fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — When the Schroon Lake baseball team steps on the field for its first game of the season, it will be a victory for the Wildcats.

Schroon Lake was nearly forced to cancel the 2013 season because of a lack of players.

After considering options, the ‘Cats will field an 11-man team with three freshmen and an eighth grader.

“This will be a tough year for us only because we lack numbers,” Coach Mike Sharp said. “We return all of our pitchers so that will benefit us. Our returning seniors and juniors will be the backbone of our squad and will help lead us to a competitive season. We look to rebound after a couple of rough seasons.”

Jeffery Armstrong, Joe DeZalia, Nate Wilson and Max Gardner return for their senior seasons. Armstrong will pitch and play first base. DeZalia will pitch and play second. Wilson will split time between second and the outfield. Gardner is a utility player.

Also returning are Eric Paradis, Logan Mitchell and Chris Barror.

Paradis will pitch and play in the outfield. Mitchell will man first base and roam the outfield.

Barror will catch and play in the outfield.

New to the club are Brandon Dugan, Derek DeZalia, Cole Anauo and Braden Hall. Dugan is an outfielder.

DeZalia, Anauo and Hall are utility players, which will give Sharp flexibility with a limited roster.

Panthers look to enjoy the 2013 season

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Could this be a break out season for the Schroon Lake Central School softball team?

Under the eye of Coach Jeff Cutting, the Wildcats have been patiently building their program. Two years ago the ‘Cats won their first sectional playoff game in 20 years. Last season they posted a 4-11 record, but led or were tied later during seven of those loses.

Seven starters that team return in 2013.

“Here in Schroon Lake we are very excited about our potential this softball season,” Cutting said. “We have worked hard to make our program competitive the past several years.

“Our numbers are up from previous years, from 10-11 to 14 players,” the coach said. “This gives us a lot more flexibility and we have many players who can play more than one position at a high level.”

Schroon returns three hurlers this spring.

Miranda DeZalia, Kiana Fiore and Molly Wisser will take the mound again

“As always, it will come down to pitching,” Cutting said. “It’s about throwing strikes and not giving teams extra outs.”

Playing the infield will be DeZore Cleveland, Brooke Wheeler, Dakota Gadway, Joelle Kowalka, Fiore and Wisser.

The outfield will feature Desiree Lanoue, Brianna DeZaila, Chloe McKenna, Destinee McCoy, Tyler Swartout and Miranda DeZalia.

Miranda DeZalia led the Wildcats with a .375 batting average a year ago.

Abigail Wisser and Amanda James will catch.

“I know I can count on my seniors and juniors and so far the sophomores have looked outstanding in practice,” Cutting said.

“They have experienced a great deal of success at the modified level with Coach (Lee) Silvernail.

“I look forward to getting these kids into game action,” he concluded.

Youthful Vikings look to improve in 2013

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The Moriah softball team will be very young in 2013. The Vikings, who graduated 10 players last spring, return only two seniors.

“It’s a very young group,” Coach Billie Jo Simpson said, “but always willing to learn and improve.”

The Vikings do return four players this season — Taylor Sprague, Lauren Brace, Madison Stahl and Tori Fleury. Sprague played first base last season, but will pitch in 2013. Brace, a Champlain Valley Athletic Conference all star a year ago, will again catch. She’ll also pitch at times and play on the infield. Stahl will man shortstop and Fleury will roam the outfield and play some infield.

“It’s a strong core group of returners,” Simpson said. “ I’m looking for them to provide leadership to a very young team.”

The Vikings will be versatile. Simpson expects at last six players to play multiple positions.

Newcomers to the squad include Sadie Fosco, Christina Lashway, Ashley Shores, Blake Bigelow, Caitlin Pelkey, Kayla Curran,

“We have not been able to get outside to feel out where to put the girls on the field,” Simpson said. “The majority of them played on modified last season.”

Assisting Simpson on the bench will be assistant coach Don Tesar.

Panthers have new softball coach this season Coach Mike Ross retires

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point Central School has dominated Section VII Class D softball for more than a decade. That may well continue, but the Panthers will have to do it without Mike Ross.

Ross, who coached the club the past 14 years, has retired. Taking the reins is his former assistant, Tony Macey.

“I have some big shoes to fill with Mike Ross retiring,” Coach Macey said. “Mike has taken the softball program here to the next level in the last 14 years. I was fortunate enough to coach with Mike for the last three years and learn some of his coaching techniques.”

Ross was kind enough to leave the Panthers with a talented, veteran roster.

“We have high expectations to be at the top of the MVAC (Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference) again this year,” Coach Macey said. “I have seven starters returning this year that will bring experience, confidence and ability forward into this year.

“This is a great group of girls with a lot of talent,” he said. “I am looking forward to what they can accomplish in the 2013 season.”

A year ago Crown Point posted a 15-2 record, winning the MVAC and Section VII Class D titles.

Returning from that club are Alex Macey and Brittany Foote.

Macey was the MVAC Division I Most Valuable Player in 2012,

Warrensburg With strong 2013 start, hopes are high for Burgher baseball

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Two years ago, the Warrensburg High School Boys Baseball team had a lineup of powerful athletes who took their team to the Section II finals, beating several top-seeded teams along the way.

After losing John Joseph, Mike Burgher schedule Curtis and others to graduation, the April 22 Hartford team experienced April 24 @H. Luzerne a rebuilding year April 25 Hudson Falls that had a dreary April 26 Bolton 0-5 start — but the April 29 Whitehall team rebounded, May 1 H. Luzerne finishing off with a May 3 North Warren respectable 9-7 reMay 6 Argyle cord in the AdironMay 7 @Cooperstown dack League and May 8 Lake George 9-9 overall.

May 10 @Corinth This year, the May 13 @Salem team lost no less May 15 Fort Edward than six seniors to

graduation: Lucas Nelson, Tyler Williams, Austin DeMarsh, Jacob Siletti, Gabe MicGlire and Chris Cupp — but the returning veterans have already exhibited their depth of experience.

Topping off the lineup are senior Justin Baird, pitcher and shortstop; plus sophomores Shea Irish, pitcher and third baseman; and Marcus Perrone, shortstop, pitcher and outfield. They are joined by senior Nolan Maltbie as first baseman and pitcher, seniors Jeff Bentham in center field, Beecher Baker on second base, Pep Perrone as catcher, with Will Yarmowich and Joe Brunelle in the outfield. Chris Persons assumes the duties of designated hitter.

Varsity Coach Rex Reynolds, in his 11th year, said this week that the 2013 season holds a lot of promise, adding that Irish “works his tail off,” and that Baird is “gritty,” — and Baird’s attitude is likely

to be adopted by the younger players on the team.

Reynolds said the team focuses on one game at a time, and has been engaged in strength workouts and speed training, which should help not only their base-running, but their defense.

In their opening game April 10, the Burghers beat the ever-powerful Lake George — demonstrating their speed, tough defense and power batting.

“The players are scrambling to get the ball — they want the ball

home base, hit to them,” Reynolds said. “We’re gelling as a team.”

This doesn’t mean the 2013 season is going to be easy, Reynolds warned.

“In the Adirondack League, you have to play your ‘A game’ every night,” he said. “I’m extremely encouraged to see the style of play they’re demonstrating, and if they continue to work hard like this, we’ll be around at the end of the season.”

Senior Justin Baird, pictured above sliding into home base, will return on the mound this year for the Burghers. Baird is a senior.

Experience, talent abound on lady Burgher squad

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Last season represented a formidable challenge for the Warrensburg High School Softball team, following the graduation of a talented group of seniors. The 2012 team spent a year rebuilding — with only one senior competing on the squad.

Now, with those young players having experienced all those rough-and-tumble games against more experienced mature teams, the Burgers are well prepared for solid accomplishments in 2013.

Also, the team is loaded with solid athletes, Burgher schedule many of them competing in three sports.

April 22 Hartford The team’s goals inApril 24 @H. Luzerne clude reversing their April 26 Bolton 2012 record of 5-12, win April 29 Whitehall the Adirondack League May 1 H. Luzerne Western Division, then May 3 North Warren compete in Sectionals — May 6 Argyle they didn’t qualify last May 8 Lake George season.

May 10 @Corinth The Burghers have the May 13 @Salem roster, loaded with athMay 15 Fort Edward leticism, to make these goals a reality.

On the mound will be Mika Morehouse, a Junior, who will be pitching for her third year. She not only has deep experience, she’s got good speed, can place the ball well, and is developing an effective change-up, coach Mary ann Bump said. She’s teamed up with classmate Makayla Baker — and they’re a formidable duo, the coach added.

“Mika is willing to take the role as leader on the team, and that will be a big factor,” Bump said.

Seniors on the team include talented athletes that can win games when the going gets rough. Korynn Raymond is at shortstop; Chiara Russo, first base; Braydin Smith, left field; and Amy Toolan, center field. Besides Morehouse and Baker, juniors feature Merissa Hayes, second base/outfield; Kerrigan Roth, third base; Josie Stone, utility; Whitney Markwica, pitcher/outfield; Nazareth Goucher, outfield; and Kate Morehouse, outfield. They are joined by Sophomore Liz Turner, utility; and Freshman Erin Langworthy, outfield and second base.

Key to success this year will be strong batting, Bump said.

“We are a much more confident hitting team with the additions of Turner, Langworthy and Markwica,” she said. “We are anxious to play games and prove ourselves to ourselves,” she said. “Our theme is ‘Armed and Dangerous’ and we hope to be — both offensively and defensively.”

NORTH WARREN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

43478

CHESTERTOWN — If the girls on the 2013 North Warren softball team need any inspiration, all they need to do is look in their school’s trophy cases and read the press clippings describing the successes of the 2012 Cougar basketball team or the 2010 North Warren Field Hockey Team.

The latter was ranked pre-season as last in the league but fought hard regardless all year long and won a league title —and then battled deep into Sectionals setting new school records. The former soared past expectations when they defeated Perennial favorite Lake George for a League division championship.

For the current North Warren softball

team, coming off a 1-15 season, the challenge ahead is substantial.

Coach Jeremy Whipple, however, is yet hopeful — in the tradition of Cougar teams.

Despite the loss to graduation of inCougar schedule fielders Nicole Parker and Kateryna Strauss and starting pitcher Charissa April 19 Corinth Cronk, the remaining players are taking April 22 Fort Edward on the new season with resolve.

Schenke at shortstop; Robert French, catcher; Colby May, first base; Chris DeFranco, second base; Jacob Hill, center field; Daren Granger, left field; Christiaan Van Nispen, right field; and Ethan Frasier, third base; and Dan Hill, closer.

Key players are Robert Vaisey, Ethan Schenke and Robert French — known as the “Big Three,” not of U.S. golf or basketball, but of northern Warren County baseball.

Humiston said he has high expectations for the talented trio.

“These guys are the key to what we will accomplish this year,” he said, adding that all three pitch, and French has the ability to shut down opponents’ running games. “They are the senior leaders that need to step up and produce like I know they can.”

It’s a new season with new opportunities, Humiston said.

And as proven in the past by other North Warren teams that have blown away expectations, the sky’s the limit.

“We are looking to have a better season, and get back to being competitive every game,” Humiston said.

Talent abounds for Warriors, the reigning AL champions

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — For years, the Lake George High School Baseball Team has been a powerhouse.

Having captured three championship titles in the last five seasons, Lake George has proven the Warrior schedule strength of their baseball program April 22 Argyle — the legendary April 23 @Luzerne Warrior will-to-win, April 24 North Warren the school’s coachApril 26 Luzerne ing expertise, and April 29 @Fort Edward the players’ annual May 1 @North Warren dedication to skill May 2 Corinth development and May 6 @Hartford conditioning.

May 8 @Warrensburg In 2012, the WarMay 10 Bolton rior baseball team May 13 Fort Ann had struggled some May 14 @Glens Falls during the earlier weeks of the season, but rallied at the conclusion to win the Adirondack League title, stunning Fort Ann, which had won 37 straight league games.

Lake George’s campaign continued into the Section II tournament. Seeded no. 5, the gritty Warriors beat No. 1 Greenwich — which had in 2011 competed in the state tourney — in the Class CC semifinals by a convincing score of 9-1 in a fan-pleasing upset victory. Lake George ended up Section II runners-up, however, after a disappointing loss to Cambridge.

From that ultra-talented 2012 Lake George team, two notable se-

niors graduated: Lee McCabe and Peter Fisher — with such a limited loss, the Warriors’ 2013 squad is now loaded with experience.

Key in those 2012 tournament wins was the outstanding pitcher Connor McCoy, a junior, who is 17-1 from 2010 through 2012 with 187 strikeouts. McCoy was recruited by St. Michael’s College, where he will be playing next year.

Also pitching this season for the Warriors will be Charles Barber, who backed up McCoy in 2012. Not only did he have 40 strikeouts last season, but he batted .397. He’ll be pitching or on duty at third base.

The Warriors’ powerful offense goes deeper — consider the athletic Willy Blunt, who’s now entering his fourth season on Varsity.

He batted .449 last season. He’s likely to be in center field for 2013.

Although the roster is a little thin, the players are versatile, talented and determined. Take as an example Craig Keenan, a sophomore that can play in any position. A veteran who has proven his talents, Keenan batted .353 last year. He’s pencilled in at shortstop.

Coach Erik Hoover said this week he’s optimistic, considering the depth of experience his players have, as well as their work ethic and determination.

“This year we are really excited about the number of arms we have to pitch,” he said. “We have a good core of seniors that are hungry for a deep sectional run.”

looking strong so far.”

Anchoring the team will be sophomore Sarah Calzada, serving her third year as varsity catcher.

DePace said Sarah is a smart player, who’s quick to the ball, making a lot of key plays.

“Sarah is dangerous behind the plate,” DePace said, noting that Sarah was drafted for varsity years ago as an eighth grader.

Kim Wright, a junior, is a versatile player with a strong, accurate throw. A good hitter, she’s slated to be lead-off batter and covering second base. She demonstrated her role as an offensive threat in the April 10 game versus North Warren, in which she went 2 for 5 with a double and two RBIs. “Kim is quick and agile, and will be a strong part of our infield,” DePace said.

Abbie Seamans, the team’s sole 8th grader, is already proving her worth to the team. Against North Warren, she was 3 for 6 with 2 RBIs, DePace observed.

“Abbie is a very fast base runner, and she’s versatile,” DePace said, noting that she is now on duty at shortstop, but is also the team’s backup catcher.

Kaitlin Urtz, a sophomore who transfered in from North Warren, is a valuable addition to the team, DePace said, noting she has a strong throw and is stationed at third base.

They’re joined by solid athletes Olivia Clesceri, a junior at first base; senior Sydney LaPan at center field; and ninth graders Caroline Clesceri and Lindsay Markham in right field.

DePace said she had high expectations for the team.

“They’re very hard workers, they’re optimistic and they try hard no matter what,” she said. “The players have a positive attitude, they encourage each other — It’s a very good mix.”

Lady Cougars From page 13

“The transition is going to be a challenge for her but we are looking for big things,” Whipple said.

Sophomore Gabriell Needham, also a pitcher, was drafted into Varsity last year, demonstrated that she was very consistent on the mound and in the field, Whipple said.

“Gabriell should be ready to contribute in a big way after a year of experience under her belt,” he said.

Megan McDonough, a senior outfielder, contributed a lot in 2012, Whipple said.

“We’re looking for Megan to play a key role in our success,” he said.

Joining these four are sophomore catcher Alexandra Newer; pitcher/infielder Gabrielle Vaisey, also a sophomore; senior outfielder Jessica Lylyk; junior outfielder Lexi Pratt, and freshman infielder Courtney Viele. They are backed up by junior fielder Desiree Smith; sophomores Julianna Dewar, outfield; Rickie-Lee Wicks, outfield, and Amanda Braynack, infield/outfield.

Whipple said he has confidence in the progress his team is making toward their goals of becoming more competitive.

“This year’s outlook is positive,” he said. “We’ve filled the gaps pretty well and are looking for some of the younger players to step up.”

year’s league championship game; Kenzie Baerstchi on either first base or second who Manny said has “a great glove and stretch at first;” Emma Underwood who will put her speed and athleticism to good use in the outfield; and Alyssa Condon with her admirable range as well as speed running the bases.

The strengths of the team are a good mixture of strength and speed, as well as timely hitting, Manny said.

“Our team members play sound fundamental defense behind good pitching,” he said.

“They take advantage of their speed on the base paths.”

In addition, the 2013 Warriors can mix up a bunting game with power hitting, catching their opponents off-guard, Manny said.

“Our team has the ability to play the ‘small ball’ speed game, but we also have some power hitters,” he said. “We’re excited to have this dual-headed attack.”

Manny added that the players are dedicated to their goals, and are looking forward to playing — having fun as well as working with dedication towards divisional and league titles.

“Our team has good chemistry and we’ve got high hopes,” he said.

Minerva • Newcomb MOUNTAINEERS

Mountaineers lack experience this baseball season

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — At first glance, a 16-player roster for the Minerva-Newcomb varsity baseball team sounds impressive, but veteran Coach Ed LaCourse is faced with several challenges this season that could prevent the team from beating its 6-4 record last season.

“It’s a weird season,” said LaCourse, a teacher at Newcomb Central School. “I have no idea where we’re going to end up this year.”

The first question mark is the group of six international students. They’ve never played baseball before.

“It’s more of a challenge Mountaineer schedule for me because when April 19 @ Elizabethtown you’re coachApril 20 Chazy @ Minerva ing at the varApril 22 @ Long Lake sity level and April 24 Wells @ Minerva you end up April 29 @ Keene having to deal May 1 @ Schroon Lake with some May 3 Westport @ Newcomb of the most May 8 @ Johnsburg basic skills May 10 @ Crown Point that are usuMay 13 Indian Lakeally done at Long Lake @ Newcomb Little League May 15 @ Wells level, it kind May 20 Keene @ Newcomb of slows things down at times,” LaCourse said. “I’ve decided they’re just going to have to basically come along with whatever gifts they have.”

That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Last year, for example, the team was fortunate to have one player from Brazil who caught on quickly and ended up being an All-Star caliber player. And there are currently a few international students who have the potential to be good ball players.

“They’ve never played, but they’ve got the athletic ability and they are coming along at an accelerated rate,” LaCourse said.

One standout could be Bryton Chikukwa, of Zimbabwe, who has played on the Mountaineers’ soccer and basketball teams this year.

“I’ve never seen a kid hit a ball so hard in my entire life,” LaCourse said about Chikukwa. “He’s never hit a baseball in his entire life, but he hits it like he’s Hank Aaron.”

Hitting a ball in a batting cage is one thing; hitting during a game situation is another.

“He’s never been in a game situation and faced a pitcher,” LaCourse said. “It’s just a big question mark whether he’ll pan out or not. He could be a monster hitter. The kids don’t even

Andrew Sponable, who pitched for Johnsburg last season, will take the mound for the Mountaineers in 2013. want to get out there when he’s hitting because he’s just cremating it.”

Another challenge this year has been the weather, with snow on the ball field late in the season. Coach LaCourse was hoping to teach the inexperienced players the baseball fundamentals on the diamond, but their inability to go outside and practice on the field “has just destroyed those plans,” he said. The weather also forced the cancellation of four scrimmages.

There’s only such much the team can do inside. Last week, LaCourse was desperate for a change and decided the team needed some fresh air.

“I had them out in the snow yesterday with boots on,” LaCourse said Thursday, April 11. “I got pretty desperate. I hit them fly balls in the snow.”

If the Mountaineers are going to make a move anytime in the next few years, this is the season, and LaCourse is hoping his four returning seniors will lead the way with their solid hitting and defense: Austin Williams, Wesley LaBar, Tyler Clickner and Justin Viele.

One bright addition to the team is Andrew Sponable, a Newcomb Central School sophomore who played for the Jaguars in 2012.

“He pitched well for Johnsburg last year, and this year he’s bigger and stronger,” LaCourse said. “I was a pitcher, so I’ve been able to work with him. He looks very good.”

The pitching rotation also includes seniors Wesley LaBar and Austin Williams.

Here is the roster for the 2013 Mountaineers: sophomores Andrew Sponable, Mickey Johnson, Steven Viele, Dustin Saville and Elias Ahrens; juniors Jorge Bertomeau, Borja Martinez, Alex Ruzbacki, Jacob Galusha and Marco Silvo; and seniors Tyler Clickner, Austin Williams, Wesley LaBar, Justin Viele, Xian Zhou and Bryton Chikukwa.

The Mountaineers were expected to open their season at home against Johnsburg on Wednesday, April 17 and had games scheduled for Friday, April 19 in Elizabethtown and Saturday, April 20 at home against Chazy.

at the varsity level,” McGinn said. “It’s hard to do the game-situation stuff inside.”

McGinn — who is the highway superintendent for the town of Minerva — returns as the Lady Mountaineers coach and hopes the team comes close to last year’s record of 12-3.

“We’ll be fairly strong,” McGinn said. “We lost four big-time seniors, but we have a nice crew coming back … I expect to be

ORANGE 44062

April 20, 2013

Madison Miller, Emma Gray, Shaneka Burch, Meg Smith, Jessica Bain and Shannon Farrell all return for the Lady Orange this softball season.

Lady Orange return a veteran squad this season LONG LAKE — One of the newest members of the Indian LakeLong Lake varsity softball team will be the coach, Long Lake Town Highway Superintendent Chip Farr.

This is Farr’s first year of coaching, ever, but he’s no stranger to the ball field.

“I have umpired for the Southern Adirondacks for eight-plus years,” he said.

In his spare time, Farr works for the Long Lake Central School District, so he’s already familiar with many of the softball players.

“I know the kids,” Farr said. “I drive the school bus part time for Long Lake, so I got to know the team pretty good, and when

they were looking Orange schedule for a coach I decided to put my name in.”

April 22 Argyle Like other local April 23 @Luzerne softball and baseball April 24 North Warren coaches, Farr has April 26 Luzerne had to deal with the April 29 @Fort Edward fickle spring weather May 1 @North Warren this year.

May 2 Corinth “We’ve just been May 6 @Hartford practicing inside May 8 @Warrensburg and doing what we May 10 Bolton can do inside,” Farr May 13 Fort Ann said. “We have a hitMay 14 @Glens Falls ting cage in the Long Lake gym, so we’ve been using that, but it’s a lot different when you get outside.”

Luckily, as of Sunday, April 14, the field in Long Lake was snowfree.

“It’s a little soft, but we can still practice outside on it,” Farr said.

One of the main strengths for the Lady Orange this year is experience. The team didn’t lose one player to graduation in 2012 because there weren’t any seniors on the team last year. But 10 of the 11 players this year came back to play for the Lady Orange in 2013.

Only freshman Madelyn Penrose is new to the rotation.

“They all hit pretty strong so far,” Farr said. “We’ve only been outside twice, so it’s kind of hard to tell.”

The leader of the pack — for pitching and hitting — is Emma Gray, who will be backed up on the mound by Madison Miller.

“I think we can be very competitive in this league,” Farr said.

Here is the roster for the 2013 Lady Orange: seniors Emma Gray (P), Jessica Bain (OF), Meg Smith (OF), Emily Waters (2B) and Prudence Dechene (OF); juniors Shannon Farrell (3B), Rayna Hamdan (C), Jazmin Piraino (IF), and Shaneka Burch (1B); sophomore Madison Miller (SS); and freshman Madelyn Penrose (OF).

Jaguars face a rebuilding year in baseball

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — After losing longtime varsity baseball coach Tim Leach at the end of the 2012 season, Johnsburg Jaguar fans are putting their faith in first-time coach Ryan Carpenter, who took over Leach’s teaching job at the beginning of the school year.

“I am excited to be a first year varsity coach,” Carpenter said.

“I actually remember reading the article in the Post-Star last year about Tim Leach retiring, and he said that the kids were looking for someone difJaguar schedule ferent — a new spark. I have April 18 @ Minerva-Newcomb been trying to April 19 @ Westport give them that April 24 Indian Lake-Long Lake spark. I have April 26 Elizabethtown been trying to April 29 @ Wells instill a hard May 6 Keene work ethic in May 8 Minerva-Newcomb the kids, and so May 10 @ Chazy far, I think they May 13 @ Old Forge are responding May 15 @ Indian Lakepretty well. I Long Lake am just hoping May 16 Crown Point it pays off and May 20 Wells makes for a successful season.”

Overall, the Jaguars will field a young team with many of the 15 players returning from last year: seniors Ethan Cooper, Nick Porter, Kaleb Persons and Chet Prouty; juniors Kyle LaBounty, James Ordway and Dylan Moore; and sophomore Dillon Bradway.

“There will be a lot of underclassmen in the starting lineup,” Carpenter said. “Plenty of players with speed and athleticism that can contribute to the success of the team.”

Five players were lost due to graduation: Dustin Weller, John Gahan, Liam Harrison, Taylor Ordway and Chris Scott.

Only Porter remains from last year’s five-man pitching rotation. With Weller, Harrison and Taylor Ordway gone — plus sophomore Andrew Sponable, who now plays for the MinervaNewcomb Mountaineers — the Jaguars lost four pitchers.

Players to watch are freshmen Mark Cleveland and Ty Berg and sophomore Nate Prouty. Cleveland will replace Dustin Weller behind the plate.

“These are three young players with speed and athleticism that will be key contributors to the pitching rotation and top part of the lineup,” Carpenter said.

Here is the starting lineup for the 2013 Jaguars: Ethan Cooper (OF), Nate Prouty (IF), Mark Cleveland (C), Kyle LaBounty (IF), Ty Berg (IF), Dylan Moore (IF), Aidan Connelly (OF), James Ordway (DH) and Moses Mulvey (OF).

Rounding out the roster are seniors Nick Porter, Zach Watson, Kaleb Persons and Chet Prouty; sophomores Brandon Tyrel, Shawn Nevins and Dillon Bradway; and freshman Josh Donohue.

The Jaguars were expected to open their season at Minerva on Wednesday, April 17 and had a game scheduled for Friday, April 19 in Westport.

Lady Jaguars return seven this season

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Johnsburg Central School teacher Phil Goodman returns for his 16th year as the coach of the Lady Jaguars varsity softball team.

The team lost five seniors to graduation in 2012: Rachael Dunkley, Sierra Galusha, Ashley Hitchcock, Michelle Merrithew, and Meghan Sponable.

However, seven players are returning from last year’s roster.

“Our starting lineup should be comparable to last season, but we have a great deal more depth with solid players coming off of the bench,” Goodman said.

Courtney Allard returns to the mound this year as the starting pitcher.

“Allard should continue to be a good pitcher for us, but we have several more girls who could potentially give us productive innings as well,” Goodman said. “The beginning of our order should be solid, and we hope the bottom will contribute more as they gain experience. Our infield should be good, and the outfield should improve if we ever are able to get outside where we can practice some fly balls and positioning.”

ers, I feel we should be very competitive in our division this year,” Olbert said. “Wells should offer the stiffest competition within our division and out of division Chazy and Crown Point will be difficult to beat.”

Eight of the 14 players on the Orange roster will be returning this year: seniors Collin Farrell (P/SS), Matt Moore (P/3B), Kyle Douglas (C), Arthur Jennings (OF) and Taylor Wells (OF); junior Shane Short (OF/C); and sophomores Henry Sandiford (P/SS) and Curtis Seaman (2B).

Six players are new: seniors Kyle McMurty (1B), Chaitin Giessen (1B/OF) and Vinnie Smith (OF); junior Robert Miller (OF); and sophomores Lance Gocke (OF) and Joey DeShaw (IF/ OF).

“Returning our No. 1 pitcher from last season, Colin Farrell, will be key to our success,” Olbert said. “If he pitches well this year he will be hard to beat. Henry Sandiford and Matt Moore will also be in the rotation or come in relief. Newcomer Kyle

The Orange could have a good shot at it; they lost only two seniors to graduation in 2012: first baseman Kevin Boya and center fielder Sam Miller.

right in the hunt.”

The team saw the following seniors graduate in 2012: Amanda Bellotti, Renna Yandon, Tara Galusha and Marlena Peter.

This year, the Lady Mountaineers look strong on pitching, hitting and speed. Juniors Gabrielle McNally and Dakota Bennett return for their third year as starters. Sophomore

Makenzie Winslow will also be a standout, as will sophomore Mary LaBar and seniors Ashley Miller and Shelby Hogan.

Hogan is the team’s main pitcher and will be backed up by freshmen Cheyenne Williams and Danielle McNally.

The international students have no softball experience, but there’s an upside.

“They’re much better at softball than they were in basketball,” McGinn said.

Although this is her first year, Williams could very well be the team’s best hitter.

“But it’s hard to be the best hitter on this team,” McGinn said. “There are a lot of decent ball players on this team.”

Here is the roster for the 2013 Lady Mountaineers: Dakota Bennett (shortstop), Makenzie Winslow (3B), Shelby Hogan (P/1B), Cheyenne Williams (1B/P), Gabrielle McNally (LF), Mary LaBar (2B), Ashley Miller (CF), sophomore Angela McCall (C/RF) and Danielle McNally (RF/C/P).
