special delivery: local family helps welcome new life

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ Caden Robert Cutting made his avant-garde entrance April 13 at 12:09 a.m. at the home of soon to be grandparents Dale and Nancy Quesnel.

He was born to Jordan Quesnel and Cody Cutting.

Jordan was released from Fletcher Allen Hospital late April 12 with the advice to take some Tylenol for pain and Benedryl to sleep.

If this was in fact true labor, she was advised to wait and see how the next 24 to 48 hours unfolded.

Much to the surprise of all parties involved, baby Caden arrived less than four hours after those words were spoken. Ò On the ride home from the hospital, Jordan was in so much pain,Ó JordanÕ s father Dale Quesnel, a member of the Ticonderoga Police Department, said. Ò She was riding up front with me crying, I had half a mind to turn around and go back and tell them, Ô sheÕ s staying here.Õ Ó Jordan and her family arrived home just after 10 p.m.

BIrth Continued from page 1 Ò At one point Jordan looked up at me and said Ô IÕ m scared,Õ Ó Nancy said. Ò I remember thinking, Ô me too.Õ But my response to her was that both mine and my husbands grandmothersÕ children were all born at home and that women have had children in fields prior to that. I told her that they did it and we could, too.Ó Nancy recalls looking over her shoulder to ask soon-to-be father Cody if he wanted to see his son being born. Minutes after CadenÕ s birth, Nancy was rubbing CadenÕ s chest to stimulate his breathing when he started to cry, much to the relief of his family. Moments later an ambulance arrived and transported Jordan and baby Caden to Moses Ludington hospital where both were pronounced healthy. They were later transported to Fletcher Allen to assume recovery. Ò Jordan has always been an unconventional girl, there was no surprise that she labored the same way,Ó said Nancy.

Jordan was born in May of 1994, three years after her sister Jamie. Jamie also recently became a mother, giving birth to a daughter, Karagyn, on April 22. Ò At the time of JordanÕ s birth my father presented me with a light purple lilac bush that still blooms every spring in my yard,Ó Nancy said. Ò I will carry on this tradition and plant a dark purple one for Jordan and Caden. When the dust settled we were no worse-for-the-wear, although I am sure I acquired many gray hairs that night.Ó

Fort Ticonderoga to celebrate the Spirit of 1776 this summer

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ This summer, the Fort Ticonderoga experience is all about the Ò home team.Ó Those visiting the historic installment on the shores of Lake Champlain which was the site of numerous key events in the early military history of the country will get a glimpse into the life of American soldiers who occupied the fort during the birth of the Revolution.

Fort Ticonderoga President and CEO Beth Hill said the program for the season is part of the organizationÕ s goal to offer a different look into the history of the fort not only season-byseason, but day-by-day. Ò Every year is a new year in the timeline of the fort and every day is a new event,Ó Hill said. Ò On the one hand it is a hard challenge when you have so many stories to tell, but it gives us a tremendous opportunity to re-create these moments in time and 1776 was a successful year for America.Ó Fort Ticonderoga opens for the 2014 summer season Saturday, May 10, with an offering of new programs, living history weekends, special events, exhibits, gardens, the Carillon Battlefield hiking trail, canoe rentals and the new Mount Defiance experience.

“Mount Defiance has become part of our ticketing package at the fort,Ó Hill said. Ò People will be able to come to the fort and pay admission to both places. This is the first year that we will have daily programs on Mount Defiance, which will take place at 4 p.m. daily.Ó The Defiance program is part of utilizing more of the historic grounds. Ò We are beginning to utilize our whole landscape and looking at our site and our story from the 18th to the 20th Century,Ó Hill said. Ò 40 percent of the landscape is agricultural which has been an important part of the history here.Ó

Opening weekend

The opening weekend will include the, Ò No Quarter,Ó event, recreating the capture of Fort Ticonderoga on May 10, 1775. In this weekendlong recreation visitors will experience Ò AmericaÕ s First Victory.Ó The weekend will feature two camps just as it

Across Lake Champlain, the Green Mountain Boys, Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold will have a temporary camp located in Shoreham, Vt. Beginning at noon, these re-enactors will recreate the march down to Lake Chaplain along the original route in 1775. At 7:30 p.m., visitors can take a front row seat inside the walls of Fort Ticonderoga for the capture of the Fort. Advance tickets are required and space is limited.

The remote British garrison surprised asleep with their families in the quarters at 9 p.m. as they are awakened by the Green Mountain Boys scream of Ò No Quarter.Ó Sunday, May 11, visitors will experience the uneasy consequences of Ò AmericaÕ s First Victory.Ó The living history weekend will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Seasonal events

Other featured attractions include the shoe makerÕ s shop and tailorÕ s shop to explore how Fort Ticonderoga served as a major supply depot producing shoes and clothing for the thousands of soldiers camped at Ticonderoga.

Daily tours, SoldierÕ s Life programs, family hands-on activities and Fife & Drum Corps performances launch guests on an adventure in time where they will discover the life at Fort Ticonderoga in 1776.

Fort TiconderogaÕ s newest exhibit Ò Founding Fashion: The Diversity of Regularity in 18th Century Military Clothing,Ó highlights the most impressive 18th-century military clothing collection in America.

Recreation activities will highlight Fort TiconderogaÕ s rich historic landscape in 2014. A new family scavenger hunt will be part of the hiking trail winding around Carillon Battlefield.

The KingÕ s Garden, one of North AmericaÕ s

oldest gardens and the largest public garden in the Adirondack-Lake Champlain region, will open on May 24 and offer many new garden-related programs for children and adults as well as daily tours.

The Heroic Maze: A Corn Maze Adventure, will continue in its fourth year. Guests will find new clues connected to Fort TiconderogaÕ s history while they explore a newly designed sixacre corn maze. The maze opens August 15 and is included with general admission.

Fort Ticonderoga is open daily from May 10 through Nov. 2, from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.

General admission is $17.50 for adults, $15 for those 65 and over; and $8 for children 5 through 12. Children 4 and under are admitted free of charge.

Local produce options discussed at food co-op meeting

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Members of the Ticonderoga Natural Foods Co-op talked about options to bring a marketplace for fresh, local produce to town.

During its April 21 meeting at TiNY Wellness Center, members talked about progress being made on a potential food cooperative that could be created as early as next year along with partnering with Juniper Hills Farms, Wadhams, to receive produce this summer.

Also on hand was Taylor Ward of the Adirondack Meat Company to talk about the possibility of adding a produce component to their operations. Ò Our focus right now is on local and fresh and we are working to open a retail store in a new location and add fresh produce and fish to our product line,Ó Ward said. Ò We are basically looking at starting a farmerÕ s market and getting local farmers to produce for that.Ó Ward said the goals of her familyÕ s company mirrored those of the Co-op. Ò This may be a chance where we can work together for a common goal,Ó she said. Ò We want to make money for the town and keep it here locally instead of having people drive 40 to 50 miles for products that we can have a supply here.Ó Eric Stoddard talks about the Ticonderoga Natural Foods Cooperative during a meeting Eric Stoddard of the Co-op steering commitCenter April 21. tee said the organization was currently working on finding volunteers and new members ($25 infore taking their message out to local groups and organizations. dividual share, $250 for a fully vested membership) to train beÒ We want to get everyone trained so we can start doing public outreach in June,Ó Stoddard said. Ò We are shooting for 300 fully vested members by the fall, and our goal would be to then have 300 more members before we open the doors.Ó Stoddard said that there were no plans on opening a coopera-

tive market this year. Ò If we do really well this summer and get a lot of people to join, then the sooner the better,Ó he said. Ò Right now, it would still most likely open next year.Ó Some questioned if the co-op and potential Adirondack Meat proposal could both survive. Ò We are still tossing ideas around as we are not looking to step on any toes,Ó Ward said. Ò There are options out there,Ó PRIDE of Ticonderoga Executive Director and Steering Committee member Sharon Reynolds said. Ò We have come a long way over the past two years.

If there is no interest in a co-op here then people will show that through their investments.Ó Stoddard said that while the co-op works to gain members, there was the chance for those interested to join a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) group through Juniper Hill. Ò You buy into the farm to help them through the summer and you get produce from the farm in return,Ó Stoddard said. Ò It works on a debit system and what I like about this farm is they give you the option to pick and choose what you want instead of just receiving a box of produce that you do not know what you are getting until you open it.Ó Stoddard said if they were able to get 30 people interested, Juniper Hill would make a weekly run to Ticonderoga to drop off the produce. If not, people would have to travel to eiat TiNY Wellness ther Wadhams or Schroon Lake, the closest drop Photo by Keith Lobdell off location. Ò We have 10 signed up so far,Ó Stoddard said. Ò I need these numbers to be able to ask them to put a delivery stop in Ticonderoga.Ó For more information on the Ticonderoga Natural Foods Coop, visit ticfoodcoop.blogspot.com, facebook.com/ticonderogacoop, or email tifoodcoop@gmail.com.

Barbecue scheduled at Tractor Supply to benefit local 4-H

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ A Barbecue fundraiser is slated at Tractor SuppliesÕ Ticonderoga Store with proceeds to benefit Essex County 4-H. The event will take place from 11 a.m to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 1. Ò In the fall and this weekend, we have been more aggressive in raising funds for this program,Ó said Lynn Wallace, store manager and 4-H leader. Ò 4-H is a non-for-profit group, it’s educational and important for these kids.Ó The Ò Paper CloverÓ campaign is a partnership between 4-H and Tractor Supply and is held twice annually to raise funds and gain visibility in local communities. Ò The Barbecue will be free, with donated meat from Adirondack Meat Company and desserts from other local sponsors,Ó said Wallace. Ò Donations will be accepted, and if you purchase five paper clovers you can enter to win our Ô garden basketÕ or our Ô dog basketÕ .Ó Tractor supply in collaboration with 4-H members and leaders were able to raise $976 in their fall cam-

paign and hope to grow that number with this event. Ò With the funds raised in the fall we were able to send three youth and two adults to the STARR leadership conference in Syracuse,Ó said Linda Gilliland of Cornell Cooperative Extension. “This was the first time in nine years we have been able to send youth to attend this program. We try to make a concentrated effort to support the Tractor Supply store and Estelle Schmidt (store manager) has gone above and beyond to help this program.Ó There are 36 4-H clubs in Essex County and over 300 youth benefiting from the organization. Recently, Cornell Cooperative Extension ran a program in the Ticonderoga Elementary School promoting nutrition and healthy lifestyle. Ò 4-H promotes a positive youth development role,Ó said Gilliand. Ò With new standards in education I think itÕ s important that kids have an avenue to explore whatever they are into.Ó For more information on this event or to donate to Ò Paper Clover DaysÓ , contact Tractor Supply at 5856450 or Linda Gilliland at Cornell Cooperative Extension at 962-4810.

Town clean up day scheduled TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership (TMSP) and the TMSP Promotions Committee are pleased to announce that in coordination with the Ticonderoga Chamber of Commerce, Town of Ticonderoga, PRIDE of Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga Kiwanis Club, Carillion Garden Club, Ticonderoga Central School, Eagle Scouts, Girl Scouts of Southern Essex County, Mountain Lake Services, and Silver Bay YMCA Leaders Club, as well as area volunteers are organizing Community CleanUp Day to be held on Saturday, May 17, 10 a.m to 3 p.m. Ò We want to put a fresh face on Downtown Ticonderoga and the community as a whole,Ó said John Bartlett Ð TMSP Promotions Committee Chairperson. Ò We encourage other groups and organizations to join us in enhancing our community and the Ticonderoga Area before the summer season starts. Ticonderoga is blessed with many strengths and qualities, which we can build upon. With sparkling clean

windows, flowers, general clean up and possibly some fresh coats of paint, we can continue the journey to a better tomorrow; one that welcomes families and friends, tourists, and entrepreneurs to Ticonderoga.Ó TMSP would like to organize teams of volunteers who will tackle specific jobs and/or areas.

Volunteers will be encouraged to sign up for the activity where they have the most interest and where they feel they can best contribute. Local businesses and organizations are also encouraged to create teams of volunteers to assist doing the clean-up. If you are interested in volunteering for the Community Clean-Up Day you can contact the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce at 585-6619 or email chamberinfo@ ticonderogany.com. You can also show up on May 17 at 10 a.m to provide extra assistance by meeting in front of the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce office in downtown Ticonderoga.

For Sale: Act III

ou may have seen yellow signs dotting the landscape. Those are auction notices for the abandoned houses and empty lots seized by Essex County for failure to pay taxes.

By the time you read this, the county will have had a tax auction on April 30, the first since 2008, in an attempt to put these properties back into private hands.

Officials are optimistic that the 130-some-odd properties and parcels will be placed back on the tax rolls, thus generating much-needed income for cash-strapped municipalities and relieving towns of the liabilities and stigmas that are associated with these painful reminders of rural blight.

We hope the properties sell, preferably to young people, business owners and other forward-looking folks who will be net assets to these communities, from Moriah to Wilmington.

The county is ailing on just about every metric Ñ its problems are well-documented and we neednÕ t revisit them here Ñ and most of these towns desperately need the income to sustain even the most basic services.

But while weÕ d love to join in on the optimism, weÕ re alarmed at what we perceive to be a lack of contingency planning for what happens if these parcels, which range from the downright dreadful to the merely rustic on the march towards rehabilitation, fail to find buyers.

Local officials just don’t have a Plan B. Moreover, they assume that in the event these properties are sold and placed back on the tax rolls, which are already stagnant as a result of the state-mandated cap, then weÕ ll all live happily ever after and we can turn our attention to other things.

We donÕ t feel that way.

In the event that the bottom drops out of this auction, and we have good reason to be feeling pessimistic after the steady drumbeat of rotten news all winter, itÕ s worth exploring additional options to ensure public discussion continues after the auctioneerÕ s gavel rises and falls.

Look outward. Know what an EB-5 is? We do.

ItÕ s a federal immigration program that fast tracks the visa process for foreign investors in regional centers that are designated by the feds as areas to promote rural economic growth. Among other criteria, applicants must pledge to invest at least $1 million in something called Òt argeted employment areas.” Those are defined as rural areas experiencing unemployment of at least 150 percent of the national average rate, among other factors. Guess what the North Country has?

May 3, 2014

Clean air, open land and a targeted employment area. Guess what Mainland China doesnÕ t have?

None of the above. Eighty percent of these EB-5 visas are awarded to Chinese nationals seeking investment opportunities in more favorable climes. This might be worth exploring for something as large as, say, the former Frontier Town lot in North Hudson thatÕ s been moldering into the ground for the better part of two decades, the neglect of which is a slap in the face to American ingenuity.

Build on trends. The farm-to-fork movement that emphasizes regionally-grown products to promote health and sustainability is a growing trend that reflects America’s desire for food products that arenÕ t manufactured in industrial complexes off the New Jersey Turnpike. Essex County is in a prime position to take advantage of this new phase in public consciousness with pockets of rich farmland and access to shipping routes that can zip fresh products, from veggies to syrup to microbrews, to eager regional buyers. A dependence on tourism shouldnÕ t be the regionÕ s permanent Hail Mary pass when it comes to economic development and it might not be a bad idea to look past the short term gain of putting some of these mid-sized houses back on the tax rolls Ñ or selling off empty parcels for residential development Ñ in favor of a longer agricultural game with these trends in mind.

Repurpose. We havenÕ t studied the dynamics of each structure in the auction and are unfamiliar with the status of each building. For those that are sturdy and sound and not teeming with nefarious Mad Max-type characters that would necessitate hitting the auto-destruct button, the county would do well to immediately put some of them to use, if not only temporarily and in trial programs. Zoning is a crapshoot in the North Country and it doesnÕ t seem entirely unfeasible that with the right amount of tax breaks, grant searching and community incentives, some of these properties Ñ or even empty parcels Ñ can be repurposed for short-term uses that can benefit the community, from teen recreational centers to wi-fi hotspots for seasonal residents, as officials map out a long-term roadmap for the future.

If Act I for these structures was their birth, and Act II was their prolonged period of decline and neglect, we hope that Act III will be by characterized by lawmakers working together, political differences aside, to ensure each vacant lot and empty structure wonÕ t equate to missed possibilities, but rather untapped opportunities.

Bad anecdote To Times of Ti: IÕ m not sure there are any antidotes for the dangerous practice of injecting a mix of toxic chemicals in shale strata as part of the hydraulic fracturing process in deep oil and gas well production.

However your editorial (4/26/14) is an anecdote I will take to my grave.

Robert Nessle Johnsburg

Fracking ‘anitdotes’ To the Times of Ti: Two things - first, please look up the two similar-sounding words Ò antidoteÓ and Ò anecdoteÓ and then check to see which one was employed in at least four places in this editorial. I found the article otherwise well-thought-out and well-written, but this jarring clinker sharply disappointed.

Second, is it possible that fracking could be made safer to the point of acceptability by imposing rules on the industry? Just to start with, as you noted they were exempted from the Clean Water rules with which every other entity must comply. This has helped make their product appear less expensive than it really is, and confuses us when we try to value it. The destructive results of rule removal also must whip up opposition to the industry. Could frackers become decent trusted fellow citizens with proper oversight? Could they be made to produce a truly valuable product, and not a morass of enviro horror? Anecdotally, it would seem that even greatly expanded alternative energy sources cannot bear the burden of our energy demands. I just donÕ t hear a lot about any possibility of reforming the fracking industry (though granted that would almost certainly raise their costs, perhaps astronomically) and I donÕ t know enough about the science. I wonder if it would make an interesting further

Thanks for Eagle help To the Times of Ti: I would like to thank everyone that helped me with my Eagle Scout project at the Ticonderoga Dog Park. First I would like to thank the Ticonderoga Town Parks and Recreation. Also, I would like to thank Aubochons, Pat Armstrong and Debra Mackey for the supplies they donated. Then I would like to thank several people that donated their physical labor: Jeff Cook, Mark Moss, Ron Clark, my Dad, my Mom, Lori Clark, Matt Cook, Martin Glazer and Bayleigh Clark. With their help we revitalized the entrance to the Dog Park. Thank you very much.

Fracking can help To the Times of Ti: The paperÕ s opposition to fracking, like its support of Greenism generally, is ignorant and destructive of the wellbeing of citizens of the North Country. Fracking, like every other form of resource development today, is managed in such a way as to minimize environmental damage and maximize benefits.

Greens, overwhelmingly upper middle class, are opposed to development, but most of the North CountryÕ s residents want to see prosperity return to the area, and fracking is a great way to do it, as Texas and North Dakota show.

regard as dogma that the rest of humanity is a blight on the planet, and all efforts should be devoted to preventing their economic improvement and development.

Jigs (John) Gardner, Westport

Make a stance To the Times of Ti: I read with interest your editorial on fracking in New York.

The state has taken a cautious approach to this form of energy extraction, unlike other states which are now having to put in place laws and regulations to protect the water table and affected communities. You are correct that the identity of toxic fracking fluids is not subject to disclosure under The Safe Water Drinking Act. This secrecy was put in place largely at the behest of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

You encourage the development of wind power as a clean alternative to carbon and toxin-based forms of energy. Please remember roof top and community solar, completely clean and decentralized energy infrastructures. There are state and federal incentives in place for these, but more could be done to speed their development. Current incentives in New York cut the upfront investment by about two-thirds. The remaining costs are generally recouped in 8-10 years through savings.

You misuse the word Ò antidoteÓ in the editorial; I believe that you meant to use Ò anecdoteÓ instead. Also, Ò Anwar, Alaska,Ó should read Ò ANWAR or The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.Ó You end the editorial, with a tone of essentially wondering what Governor Cuomo will decide regarding fracking in New York. Given the strong content of your overall message, a forceful recommendation to limit or ban fracking in New York, would be more effective.

Alcohol at county fair moves forward

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ A rare sense of curiosity hung in the air at the Government Center on Monday, April 28 when a tanned board of supervisors gathered to review the past monthÕ s resolutions.

Last week, the public safety committee opted to move forward with a proposal to allow the Essex County Fair to serve alcohol, a request that had been stymied in the past.

On Monday, a television producer from Vermont was there, as was District Attorney Kristy Sprague, Sheriff Richard Cutting and the usual gaggle of ousted officials keeping a watchful eye on their successors.

But the meeting fizzled out when lawmakers disappeared behind closed doors to discuss personnel matters.

In the galley, Cutting told reporters he was open to the idea of allowing microbreweries and vineyards to sling their wares at the fair, which is scheduled for August, but wanted all the facts before taking a position. Ò IÕ m open to economic opportunities,Ó he said. Ò There are a lot of microbreweries in Essex County. I certainly wouldnÕ t want to see a Ô beer tentÕ that would basically operate like any other bar.Ó He said his department would Ò play it by earÓ in deciding how to staff the fair in the event the board votes at their full board meeting on Tuesday, May 6 to breathe oxygen into what advocates hope will save the ailing annual event.

Doug Terbeek, an official from the Prevention Team, a Ticonderoga-based organization designed to address substance abuse, also expressed an open-minded, yet cautious, outlook.

Before the meeting, heÕ d penned a list of questions for supervisors. Ò Whose responsibility is it when it comes to licensing?Ó he wrote. Ò What will the countyÕ s legal liabilities be? Which types of advertising will be permissible?Ó Westport Supervisor Dan Connell told supervisors that the fair, which is located in his town and is governed by a board, will apply for the necessary permits. The county would then sign off on them after a full understanding of what would be permissible, the nuts and bolts of which have not yet been publicly discussed.

GOP hopeful Matt Doheny hopes third time is the charm

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com FORT EDWARD Ñ Matt Doheny wants you to know that heÕ s the only candidate running to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) who is truly from the North Country and has the experience necessary to address the 21st DistrictÕ s needs.

In a phone interview with the Valley News, the last in our series of open-ended interviews designed for the candidates to introduce their policies to our readers, Doheny discussed what he has to offer voters across this sweeping district. Ò I KNOW THESE PEOPLEÓ The race marks the Watertown-based investment bankerÕ s third attempt at capturing the seat after narrowly losing twice to Owens, who was first elected in 2009 after a bitter race that attracted national attention and acted as a bellweather for the then-burgeoning Tea Party movement. Ò We fought two close races and came up very short each time,Ó said Doheny. Ò After Congressman Owens announced his retirement, we experienced an outpouring of support across all corners of the district and that really encouraged me to run again.Ó Speaking excitedly after a day spent campaigning in Washington County, Doheny recalled a conversation he had with a small business owner who he said was in trouble: Ò He had a situation back on the farm dealing with immigration and labor,Ó said Doheny. Ò I aim to help him, and people like him, on the ground to make life better.Ó Ò I know these people, IÕ m from the district,Ó he said.

OVERREGULATED In whatÕ s become a common mantra for the two remaining Republican candidates in the race, Doheny said small businesses are strangled in a thicket of regulation by a sprawling patchwork of regulatory agencies that operate without oversight from elected representatives. Ò They need authority and real oversight,Ó he said, citing the regulations that farmers face as an example: Ò ThereÕ s the EPA, [the Occupational Safety and Health Administration] OSHA and all the issues and regulations that come to fore, like dust regulations, labor regulations, rules on spilled milk Ñ these all have a negative impact on the industry, from the dairy farms here in Washington County to the apple orchards in Essex.Ó TARGETED INDUSTRIES The candidate, who lives in Watertown and has a 10-monthold son named Declan, said policies should be tailored around the districtÕ s diversed sub-economies, from PlattsburghÕ s relationship with Canada, the military base in Fort Drum and the lakefront spread in Tupper Lake. Ò There are vital differences between small businesses, agriculture, tourism, light manufacturing and infrastructural projects,Ó

he said. “We need specific points of focus in creating an environment to protect these economies.Ó Doheny said he has the intricate knowledge of each of these towns and how they operate as well as experience turning around troubled companies from his business background, attributes he said the other candidates donÕ t have. Ò I have been to all 194 towns and cities in the district, have met with untold people from all sectors, and understand what drives the economy,Ó he said, ticking off an encyclopedic list of towns, their leaders and the small, often overlooked, differences in nomenclature. Ò This gives me a clear advantage and clear point advantage. I grew up here, live here, and am going to make sure we have the most robust economy we can.Ó HEALTH CARE Doheny said if elected, he aims to Ò roll backÓ the Affordable Care Act. Ò However well-intentioned, itÕ s not working,Ó he said. Ò We continue to see negative impacts on folks in our district Ñ it will truly hurt families and small businesses.Ó He criticized the Independent Payment Advisory Board tasked with addressing and overseeing savings in Medicare as an unelected body that has the Ò authority to ration care and costsÓ much to the publicÕ s chagrin.

In addition, he said, the ACA will hurt rural hospitalsÕ efforts at recruiting doctors and will force them to seek more lucrative jobs elsewhere.

Doheny also cited the 2.3 percent tax on medical device manufacturers enacted as part of the provision as something that is Ò really, truly hurting these companies,Ó including those based in Glens Falls.

IMMIGRATION Asked about his thoughts on immigration policy, the candidate cited a recent ceremony he attended in Washington County that saw the swearing in of 50 new American citizens. Ò It was a very touching, moving experience,Ó he said, citing participants from Poland, Indonesia, the Ivory Coast, Brazil and elsewhere. Ò America is a leading country in the world and this really reaffirms your faith,” he said. “While we have challenges, we’re still the leading light.Ó While he didn’t touch upon specific policies for job creation in the discussion, something that has bewitched the other candidates in this interview series, Doheny said he will continue to roll out Ò key elementsÓ over the next seven months during the countdown to the general election this fall.

The candidate will face fellow Republican hopeful Elise Stefanik, the Albany-born, Willsboro-based businesswoman who served in a variety of roles in the Bush Administration, in the GOP primary on June 24.

Since both candidates have been endorsed by third parties Ñ Doheny by the Independence Party, Stefanik by the Conservative Party Ñ the two have indicated they will remain in the race

despite who emerges victorious from the primary.

WAR LOOMS DohenyÕ s long-awaited interview with the Valley News comes as part of an aggressive campaign push in the run-up to the Republican primary.

On Thursday, April 24, the candidate bashed Democratic frontrunner Aaron Woolf, the grocery store owner and filmmaker from Elizabethtown, with a tongue-in-cheek list of tips for touring the North Country and on Friday, he released his first radio ad blasting “DC insiders,” a veiled slight against Stefanik, whose campaign challenged DohenyÕ s efforts to net the Independence and Conservative Party lines last week.

In a written statement, Stefanik campaign attorney James Walsh accused the Doheny campaign of “inflating numbers” and skirting legal procedures in order to gain ballot access.

“When you run for Congress, seeking to make law, the first step in the process is to follow the law,Ó said Walsh. Ò The Doheny campaign is not unfamiliar with the petition process and our belief is that in the rush to inflate numbers and gain access to the Independence and Conservative lines, the Doheny campaign played political Ñ and potentially fraudulent Ñ games with this important process.Ó The campaign alledged “flawed submissions” of Conservative Party signatures to the ballot and provided the Valley News scans of signatures that they perceived as questionable.

“The snow is finally gone but we still have time for reindeer games,Ó responded the Doheny campaign, also in a written statement. Ò The only fraudulent games played with this important process were by the Stefanik campaign when they knowingly signed the cover sheet of Independence petitions legally attesting that she submitted the required number of signatures to qualify for the ballot.Ó Each candidate needs to submit a designated amount of signatures from voters registered in those parties to receive ballot access. Although they are comparatively small and often overlooked, they play an important role in fundraising, shaping policy, offering visibility and creating a network of support for candidates during fluid primary races.

And capping the end of a fast-moving political week that saw Congressman Owens officially endorse Woolf in a swing through the region and petition challenges that may bounce Democratic hopeful Steven Burke and perennial Green Party candidate Donald Hassig out of the race before their respective primaries on June 24 (those respective stories will appear in our online version) Ñ Doheny announced on Friday that he agreed to participate in a pair of GOP debates: May 27 and June 12, both to be hosted by television networks and their affiliates in Watertown. Ò Our campaign is focused on talking to the voters about the issues that are affecting them in their day to day lives,Ó he said in the statement. Ò These debates are a great way for voters to hear directly from the candidates.Ó

NCCC Ticonderoga branch hosts Take Back The Night Event

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ North Country Community College programing committee, the Student Government Association along with sexual assault support services and STOP Domestic Violence engaged in an informative meeting and mock trial to promote sexual assault awareness April 24.

“There are 15 cases (involving sexual assault/misconduct or relates charge) currently pending at the district attorney’s office to date,” said Bowen.

In closing the evening students and faculty participated in a candlelight vigil in honor of victims of sexual abuse past, present and future.

A Take Back the Night event was held April 24.

FUND helps with boat washing gear

LAKE GEORGE Ñ The FUND for Lake George is providing a grant of $10,000 to the Lake George Park Commission for training approximately 50 boat inspection technicians. The four-day training commenced Monday, April 28, and includes a comprehensive curriculum covering all aspects of inspection and decontamination of trailered boats. Inspection and decontamination is central to the Park Commission’s Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Prevention Program set to begin on May 15.

Conducting the training program are D and Michael Davis whose combined experience is extensive and has included training of inspectors across the western United States and in Canada.

This includes the inspector training at Lake Tahoe that has an AIS prevention program widely hailed for its success in keeping new invasives from entering the lake. Ò D Davis is the person who we rely on for what is known as level 2 training (training the trainers) and she certainly would be the best to have aboard,Ó said Ted Thayer, Implementation Coordinator for the Lake Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program, Ò We are proud to be supporting this critical component of the AIS Prevention Program on Lake George,Ó said FUND Executive Director Eric Siy. Ò Effective training of inspectors will translate into effective protection from new invasives that so seriously threaten our waters,Ó Siy said. Ò As weÕ ve learned from those invasive species that have gotten in to Lake GeorgeÑ at great financial and ecological cost—the only real protection from invasives is prevention.Ó Ò The invasive species prevention effort has been a state and local partnership from the beginning,Ó LGPC Executive Director Dave Wick said. Ò The Commission thanks The Fund for providing the additional financial resources enabling a top notch training program for our inspectors.Ó

FUND for Lake George takes to cyberspace with new website TICONDEROGA Ñ The FUND for Lake George has announced the launch of its new website, fundforlakegeorge.org.

The new site will serve as the internet destination and portal for understanding the current state of Lake George and The FUNDÕ s programs to safeguard the lake. As described on the new site, this Ò science to solutionsÓ approach is embodied in The FUNDÕ s Legacy Strategy. The strategy has one goal Ñ stopping the present decline of water quality and achieving sustained protection of Lake George for the

next generation. Ò Our website will provide all who care about the Lake with a place to learn and, more important, to act for lasting Lake protection while the opportunity still exists to do so,Ó said FUND executive director Eric Siy. Accompanying the new website is The FUNDÕ s new Ò Center for Lake George: A Meeting Place Dedicated to Lake Protection.Ó With space for up to 49 people, The center will be open for meetings of The FUNDÕ s expanding network of partners from all sectors with a

stake in the LakeÕ s sustaining health. Ò While the website invites visitors worldwide, the Center invites people throughout the basin,Ó said FUND Chairman Jeff Killeen.

Stewart’s Holiday Match grants help local organizations TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership (TMSP) recently received a grant for $1,000 from the StewartÕ s Shops Holiday Match Program.

The Holiday Match where StewartÕ s Shops collect and match customer donations in all of their shops from Thanksgiving until Christmas.

This year StewartÕ s Shops donated over $1.34 million to over 1,440 organizations in their market area. Since its inception in 1986, this program has contributed nearly $19 million to local organizations and programs which benefit children under the age of 18.

The funding received will be used by TMSP to organize another event in conjunction with Ticonderoga Central School students and teachers to collect and donate more food for the local food pantry.

On May 7, students will be provided $1,000 which they can then use to shop for as much food as possible for the food pantry. Students will be organized into teams and will compete to see who can spend more wisely and obtain the most non-perishable foods. Teachers will act as mentors for the student-teams and they will be encouraged to make maximum use of coupons, discounts, and sales. Ò For the last three years, Ticonderoga High School (THS) students and teachers have organized a Ô Stuff-A-Bus, event to collect nonperishable food items and cash for the Ticonderoga Food Pantry,Ó said John Bartlett. Ò We now are organizing a second event for the Food Pantry in April/May when their

shelves and food supplies tend to run low.

We appreciate the continued support from Stewarts Shops to make this event to benefit the food pantry possible. This should be both a learning exercise for the students as well as a community service for the needy families in our area.Ó

Great gifts for the nurse in your life

I

f there’s one surefire secret to success for choosing a gift for the nurse in your life, itÕ s this: Think pampering. Nurses spend nearly all of their working life on their feet, bending, lifting, twisting and turning -- and all in service of others. So when itÕ s time to show some appreciation for all that he or she does every day, a gift of self-nurturing will go a long way. Here are some easy gift solutions that are sure to be appreciated.

•Spa services: Give the gift of relaxation and rejuvenation. A certificate for a massage, facial or even a mani-pedi will no doubt be received with a smile. Feeling especially generous? Consider gifting a day of services at a local spa.

•Pampering products: Take a gift basket, head to your local drug store, grocery chain or specialty retailer and fill it with an array of soothing and beautifying products. Great ideas include shower gel, bath salts, body lotion, facial moisturizers and a bath sponge.

•The gift of time: Nurses are caregivers whose work lives revolve around the needs of others, so the gift of time can be the most special present of all. If the special nurse in your life needs some time to rest, refresh and revive, think about showering her or him with a day or even a weekend of nothingness. Clear the calendar. Turn off the phone. Take over the cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and errands. Banish all the usual hustle and bustle. Sometimes nothing is the best gift of all.

•Hobby basket: Often nurses need to be reminded to take care of themselves and to do the things they enjoy. If your favorite nurse has a forgotten hobby or dormant interest, renew his or her focus with a basket filled with items. For crafters, a set of new supplies might rekindle a lost interest, while for the nurse who loves to get lost in a good book a selection of new magazines or books by a favorite author can spark a renewed interest in reading.

•Homemade coupon book: Treat the nurse in your life to a homemade coupon book filled with offers for a romantic evening out, weekend laundry service, a night off from doing the dishes, a car wash/car cleaning and so on. The possibilities are endless!

•Happy feet: Practical gifts can also be pampering, and for nurses, the most practical gift could be a new pair of supercomfortable, ultra-supportive work shoes or some snazzy new scrubs. If you donÕ t want to make the purchase yourself, consider a gift certificate to a local retailer or an online specialty clothing or footwear site.

•Nice necessities: If you’re shopping for a recent nursing school graduate, you can’t go wrong with a gift certificate to a medical supply retailer or items such as an easy-to-read watch with a second hand. A roomy, insulated lunch bag and water bottle or a current drug reference guide also makes a great and practical gift.

NatioNal Nurses week May 6-12, 2014

Nursing trends show a profession in transition The healthcare industry is changing rapidly, and nurses, the largest group of healthcare professionals in the nation, are at the forefront of these changes. Despite the difficult economic conditions of recent years, nursing as a profession has thrived -- particularly when compared to other professions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that job growth for nurses will continue to be more rapid than the national average, making the profession among the best career choices available today.

So what can nurses and those considering entering the field expect over the next decade?

The demand for nurses will continue. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be nearly 712,000 new nursing positions by 2020, making this profession the fastest growing occupation.

One of the factors fueling the growth is the aging population, and there will be great demand for nurses who are trained in geriatrics and who are able to work in ambulatory (i.e., outpatient) settings.

More nurses will work in outpatient settings, home healthcare, and nursing homes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also projects that hospital nursing jobs will grow much more slowly than jobs in outpatient facilities and

home health care.

This is due both to the growth of the aging population and the increase in the number of medical procedures done on an outpatient basis or in homes.

Hospitals will increasingly require RNs to have four-year degrees. Many hospitals have begun hiring only those nurses with BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) degrees or providing incentives for their employees with two-year associate degrees to return to school to earn their BSNs. Similarly, many nurses with BSNs are heading back to the classroom to become masterÕ s degree-level nurse practitioners.

Nurses are getting younger and older.

During the last decade, a variety of efforts were made to make nursing more attractive to younger people.

As a result, the number of younger nurses (ages 23 to 26) has grown significantly. This is expected to help offset the mass retirement of nurses that is expected to occur between now and 2020. At the same time, more people are entering the profession later in their careers as a result of the proliferation of two-year and accelerated nursing programs that

were developed largely to attract people from other fields.

Nursing educators will be in demand as well. Nursing program faculty will be among the retirees who will leave the profession over the next decade and there is expected to be a shortage of nurse educators to take their places.

Technology will continue to alter how nurses operate and learn. Come 2014, all medical records will be electronic, so

nurses will be saying a final good-bye to their black pens and a big hello to keyboards and tablets. In hospitals, nurses will continue to rely on texting to relay messages or provide information to doctors. Technology, in the form of digital textbooks, mobile phone applications that access drug information and simulated online clinics, will continue to alter how nursing students learn.

More men seeking nursing roles

M

ale nurses havenÕ t always been such a minority. Although men comprise only about 6 percent of todayÕ s total nursing population in the United States, nursing schools for men were actually quite common and about half of the nationÕ s paid nurses were male during the early 1900s. By 1930, however, the percentage of male nurses dropped to a meager 1 percent, as men fled the profession for more lucrative occupations. That was the case for several decades, until the late 1980s, when inflation, nursing shortages, a rise in nursing salaries, and shifting attitudes about gender combined to attract new generations of men to the profession.

While the number of men in nursing programs is growing, the public perception of male nurses, which has unfairly carried a negative connotation through the years, persists and continues to keep them away from the field. Many male nurses also recount stories of patients assuming they are doctors or asking why they had decided against attending medical school -- as if being a nurse was a fallback position rather than a first choice. Others note that the scarcity of male role models, instructors and mentors has made it more difficult not only to enter the profession but also to advance their careers.

Carillon Garden club rededicates Crown Pt. Blue Star marker CROWN POINT Ñ Carillon Garden Club members were hostesses on Saturday, April 26, for a rededication ceremony of the Blue Star Memorial Highway marker and new garden near the Crown Point Bridge Information area. The garden had been recently replanted by Carillon Garden Club members.

Over 35 people attended and participated in the ceremony that also honored the men and women who have served our great nation. The Mineville Honor Guard presented the colors and the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Harry Treadway, Commander of the Ticonderoga VFW. Betty Rettig and Jackie Viestenz, co-presidents of the Carillon Garden Club welcomed all attendees.

Pat Wania, First Vice President of the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State and past director of District IV gave the history and meaning behind the Blue Star Memorial markers placed throughout the United States, a program started by the National Garden Club shortly after World War II. Harry Treadway, gave a brief message honoring all veterans in all branches of the military Ð Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines from those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, to those who continue to serve,

to those who will serve and their families, past, present and future.

Rev. David Hirtle, pastor of the Crown Point Congregational Church, also gave a brief meditation on the families left behind when loved ones go off to serve.

He concluded the ceremony with a Benediction prayer.

Other attendees included members of the American Legion, the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, the North Country Honor Flight, Crown Point Supervisor Charlie Harrington and members of the Carillon Garden Club and residents of surrounding communities including Whitehall, Crown Point, Port Henry, Ticonderoga, Hague and points north to Plattsburgh.

In a few weeks as the weather warms, it is hoped that passersby will detour briefly off the main road before going over the Crown Point Bridge to Vermont and go into the access road to the campsite, turn toward the Information Building and take time to read the signs and enjoy the new garden. A history of the area is displayed near the parking lot as well as the Blue Star Memorial Highway marker. The garden at the Blue Star is a living tribute and a good place to remember the struggles and sacrifices of the men and women who have served the USA over the years.

The chamber has been working for the last three years to build up a base of Crown Point businesses, non-profits and individuals with the goal of working together to promote economic opportunities for the town. Ò We want to get behind the activities that are happening in the community,Ó Okrin said.

Ò We want to work closely with the town and their events committee and work with other area chambers.Ó Okrin said the chamber has grown into a self-sustaining organization that is Ò in the black,Ó with momentum. Ò We are now looking to put some money toward website development and expanding our social media presence,Ó she said.

The chamber is looking to help organize and/or promote several events throughout the summer, starting with the Champlain Bridge Run May 17. Ò It went so well as part of the bridge celebration that we kept it as an annual event,Ó Okrin said. Ò We have people that come from around the region to participate.Ó Other events coming up include the an-

nual Memorial Day parade and celebration in town Monday, May 26, which includes a solemn tour of local cemeteries starting at 9 a.m. at Sacred Heart Cemetery; the Penfield Museum pancake breakfast Saturday, June 7; the Strawberry Festival Sunday, June 29; and a street dance and concert Saturday, Aug. 2.

The race will finish near the historic site museum in front of the bridge. The course is mostly grass and dirt with some asphalt. Ò ItÕ s a great course,Ó Matt Karkoski of the LaChute Road Runners said. Ò The scenery is absolutely beautiful, there are no traffic issues and the course is a lot of fun. I love this course.”

Jay Berube and his brother Jesse dominated the 2013 race. Jay, a runner at SUNY-Oneonta, won in 17 minutes, 23 seconds. Jesse, a former runner at SUNY-Geneseo, was second in 17:24.

Both are Ticonderoga High School graduates.

That celebration is over, but the New York/Vermont 5K Champlain Bridge Run lives on. Ò I hope this event continues many years,Ó Ockrin said.

Moriah resident sentenced for animal cruelty

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com MORIAH Ñ Local resident Brandon Martinez was sentenced to serve five days in jail and pay $3,000 in restitution to the North Country Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals (NCSPCA) on Monday, March 31 at the Moriah Town Court after being convicted of one count of animal cruelty Ñ failure to provide sustenance Ñ last year.

The sentencing, said the NCSPCA in a statement, sends a strong message and will hopefully set a precedent for addressing similar cases in the region.

“We are relieved to finally see a satisfactory resolution to this case,Ó said NCSPCA Executive Director Jessica Hartley. Ò Animal cruelty is a real crime that comes with very real consequences.

Above all, we are thrilled for Rita: a year and a half after being seized from her abusive owner, she is now free to be adopted into a loving home.Ó Law enforcement authorities seized the hound and her five pups from the Witherbee resident in November 2012. According to Hartley, Martinez voluntarily surrendered the puppies, but fought to get the mother back.

The case wound its way through Judge Rick CarpenterÕ s Moriah courtroom for 18 months before going to trial in November 2013.

MartinezÕ s $3,000 in restitution to the NCSPCA is the maximum fee at the local level and he had to sign the dog over to the organization.

Last month, Martinez was arraigned at Essex County Court for four felony counts related to the possession and sale of crack cocaine.

Court officials were unavailable for comment by the time this story went to press.

Sweet canine Kim, who recently came in from a highkill shelter in North Carolina, had five healthy puppies last week who will soon be needing forever homes. We expect that more puppies - and kittens - will be on the way. If you are considering adding a bouncy fur baby to your family, check out the Petfinder link on our website, http://www.ncspca.org, or stop by our stateof-the-art facility in Elizabethtown to see our many adoptable animals. No matter what age, size, or personality of pet you may be seeking, chances are you will find your purr-fect match just waiting to meet you!

Our featured pet this week is Diamond, a Domestic Shorthair-mix with a pretty tortoiseshell coat and a sassy personality. This little jewel of a cat came in as a stray and was initially very timid - however, within a day she was strutting her stuff and commanding attention. Diamond is very playful and we think she quite young - probably just under a year. She has a gorgeous soft coat with beautiful splashes of orange throughout her little body. Diamond is

Growing young again

I

nstead of wasting time waiting for the ponds to open up; I decided to travel home to Elizabethtown for the weekend to visit a few of the old fishing holes from my younger days.

Although I tend to spend a majority of my time fishing the ponds; I’ve always been a river walker. I enjoy the flows more than flat waters, as the scent of a stream is ever changing and it is addictive.

On the ponds, you can pretty much see it all from one location. The waters are flat or choppy, or somewhere in between; but there is no much variation.

Sure, there are fluctuations in foliage, down trees, steep banks and other natural factors that give different ponds their character; but for the most part, a pond is a pond, what you see is what you get.

But on the river, and especially on the small streams, the scene is always in motion, ever flowing, and wandering along. There is life everywhere, in the trees on the riverbanks, in the air, and under the river rocks where the crayfish hide. And it seems you can never capture it all, just a

glimpse and itÕ s gone.

In the dark, hemlock forested reaches of the rivers, the waters take on an ominous odor that scents the air, and the land. It is a primordial scent that always transports me back to my younger days.

The waters, darkened by the shade, provide safe safe sanitary for the trout, even in mid stream. Their quick darting movements are difficult to decipher, unless a shaft of sun captures their shadow.

Often they would hide, invisible among the long logs, the tangled roots and the rubble of the riverbank. I tried to entice them to venture forth and sip a dry fly from the surface, but the brookies were skittish, and the waters were cold.

These waters were the playgrounds of my youth, they were the only waters within walking or biking distance of town.

So too, were the surrounding hills, Little Buck, Wood Hill, Raven, and Cobble Hill. IÕ ve climbed them all numerous times, and I still canÕ t get enough.

And as I stared at them from the valley floor, I couldn’t resist the urge to visit them again. Since the trout werenÕ t cooperating; I decided to take some time away from the grind in order to tackle a few of the smaller hills, and to let the trout settle a bit.

I had come home to chase some trout, and in the process, to recover

some of the excitement of of my youth. I climbed the hills again, and I looked down on my old small town.

I hiked the ridges, and visited our old campsites. I climbed the cliffs and discovered a few more mountaintop antennas. (It’s always surprising to see just how far some folks will go to get television reception, not to mention the cost of stringing half a mile of antenna wire up the side of a cliff.)

Elizabethtown has remained pretty much the same as it was in my youth, just like many of the small, non-touristy Adirondack towns. It really hasnÕ t changed much over the years. There are a few more buildings, fewer families, and a surprising number of new homes situated on the hillsides surrounding the Pleasant Valley.

The mountains havenÕ t moved much. Giant of the Valley still looms to the south west, and Hurricane still sports itÕ s Fire tower, as proud as ever.

I walk the sidewalks and still know most of the folks I meet; even though IÕ ve been gone and many years removed.

One evening, I ran into a former classmate at the local Grand Union.

We hadnÕ t seen each other for many years, and he reminded me this year would be our 40th class reunion. Ò Forty years?Ó , I asked incredulously. Ò Are you sure?Ó I started running the numbers through my mind, and sure enough, he was right! Ò Damn,Ó I mumbled under my breath, Ò So many trout, and so little time left.Ó I thought about his remark as I waked back to the house. It was a very difficult pill to swallow. Ò Another place, another town,Ó I muttered to no one in particular. Ò NowÕ s not the time to dwell on such matters. There are still trout to be found, and plenty of ground I need to pound. I need not worry about it at all right now.Ó The following morning I caught my first brook trout of the new season. It fell for a dry fly that I had skittered under an overhanging stream bank, in my old back yard. I was not surprised in the least.

The little brook has always produced trout, even though it winds itÕ s way right through the middle of town. It is rarely fished, and often overlooked by anglers seeking bigger waters and larger fish I was just as excited at the age of 58, as I was at the age of 8 and an hour later I still had a silly smirk on my face.

Any fish taken on the fly is a trophy, and if you want more, sometimes it pays to wish for a little less. And while I may never be able to truly go home again, it sure is nice to shed the restrictions of age, and walk in the footprints of my youth every once in a while.

Next year, I’ll be back. Though I’ll be another year older, I’ll fish as if I’m still nine years old and I’ll drift a fly right by that overhung bank again! I can wait.
