Holiday Match funding used by students to benefit pantry

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 was 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 were provided $1,000 which the students used to shop for as much food as possible for the food pantry at Walmart of Ticonderoga.

Students were organized into teams and competed to see who can spend more wisely and obtain the most non-perishable foods. Teachers acted as mentors for the student-teams and they were encouraged to make maximum use of coupons, discounts, and sales.

Ticonderoga Continued from page 1 John McDonald said. Ò This year we had a small gap between the cap and spending plan.Ó The Ò cap,Ó a nickname given to the New York State tax levy cap formula, allowed the district to increase its tax base by 1.38 percent, from $10,800,159 in 2013-14 to a proposed $10,949,271 in 2014-15.

McDonald said there were not as many difficult choices to make in order to meet the tax levy cap with the budget, adopted by the school board April 24, but it still called for extra effort. Ò We are going to be stretching our staff,Ó he said. Ò We have had big increases in retirement and health care.Ó However, McDonald said the district will not have to borrow money in order to end the school year, something they have done in the previous two.

The board did authorize the use of $272,387 in fund balance, up 94 percent from a usage of $140,121 in 2013-14. Ò We are still below the four percent that is allowable to use under state law,Ó McDonald said. Ò Overall, I believe this budget shows that we are getting healthier. When we renegotiated our contracts we knew that we would be in good shape.Ó

The overall spending plan was adopted at a price tag of $19,296,079 for the 2014-15 school year, up 3.69 percent from $18,608,671 in 201314. The district received a 6 percent increase in state aid funding partly due to the release of Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) funds by the state.

McDonald said that just over $200,000 of the $399,409 increase in funding was from the GEA. Ò If the GEA is going to keep getting smaller then that would be a good thing for us,Ó McDonald said.

Changes within the budget include the elimination of two teaching positions through attrition along with the inclusion of a new elementary teaching position and assistant district principal.

The budget will also include funding for common core implementation and funds to help enclose elementary school classrooms for security purposes.

If approved, the 2014-15 tax levy would result in an estimated tax rate of $10.40 per $1,000 of assessed property value for Ticonderoga property owners and $12.52 for those living in the town of Hague. Those rates were set at $10.26 and $12.34 in Ticonderoga and Hague, respectively, in 2013-14 and represent a 1.4 percent increase.

Voting will take place Tuesday, May 20, noon to 8 p.m. at the Ticonderoga High School and Hague Community Center.

Putnam Continued from page 1 consolidation efforts that save one percent on the budget, something Superintendent Matthew Boucher said there is no room for in the near 40-student enrollment school. Ò We have already consolidated all that we can,Ó Boucher said. Ò We are at a minimum to function in our business office, and the comptroller reminds us of that every year. The town already helps us with winter plowing and summer work and our transportation is contracted out. If they ask for past consolidation efforts, then we are fine. If they want anything new, the only thing left is the school.Ó To prepare for the potential of having to reduce its budget next year, the Putnam spending plan for PreK through sixth grade operations call for a 3.94 percent increase in spending, from $2,249,218 in 2013-14 to $2,337,837 for 2014-15.

The tax levy to go with the school board-adopted spending plan would be $1,758,937, up 1.46 percent from the 201314 levy of 1,725,638. Ò The previous six years we have had the lowest budget and tax levy increases in the state,Ó Boucher said. Ò When you do not have a large budget, small changes can make a big difference to the percentage.Ó The budget calls for the use of $234,600 in fund balance, up from $193,385 used in the 2013-14 budget.

Boucher said the school is currently at staffing minimums to qualify for state aid so there could be no position cuts.

However, based on student enrollment trends, the district will be hiring a half-time special education position in the coming school year. Ò Fiscally, the school is in really good shape,Ó Boucher

Minimum wage: Where they stand

A

May 17, 2014

fter decades of dormancy, the labor movement seems to be finally stirring. And yet sadly this political awakening seems not to have yet reached the workers of the North Country.

Just in the past year, the Washington city of SeaTac raised itÕ s minimum wage to $15 an hour, and other locales are considering similar measures. Socialist Alternative candidate Kshama Sawant, running as an open opponent of capitalism, won a city-wide election to join the Seattle City Council. Fast food strikes planned across the country and the world for May 15, by which time we will have gone to press, are expected to be the largest in history.

But where is this newfound class-consciousness in upstate New York? ItÕ s not as if weÕ re lacking the requisite ingredients. We can see cavernous wealth disparity all around us. Nearby Franklin is the second poorest county in New York state. In Lake Placid, a supposed winter wonderland, the Cascade Acres trailer park is situated just a few minutes drive from the lavish Mirror Lake Inn. In what is perhaps an indication to which the exploitation of workers is not on our political leaders’ radar, few of the local politicians who we discussed the issue with spoke with confidence regarding the level of government at which the minimum wage for public and private workers could be raised.

Lewis supervisor David Blades said he didnÕ t believe he had the power to raise the minimum wage at the town level, but even if he did, he likely wouldnÕ t support it. ÒI probably would not support a raise, but then again I might.Ó Essex County Attorney Daniel Manning said he didnÕ t believe the minimum wage could be adjusted at the town or county level, but he wasnÕ t sure. ÒI have no idea,Ó M anning said. ÒI tÕ s not anything thatÕ s ever occurred to me.Ó Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland said he didnÕ t know offhand at what level of government the minimum wage could be raised, but either way he would not support a pay hike for working families. ÒI think it kills economic development for small business,Ó G illilland said.

North Elba Supervisor Robi Politi, who owns a real estate company, saw raising workersÕ pay as a non-issue. “I don’t think about the minimum wage,” Politi said. “I have bigger fish to fry.”

Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew said he didnÕ t think the minimum wage could be adjusted at the town or county level. But he would support tying it to cost of living adjustments.

Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said he thought the minimum wage could only be raised on the federal or state level. Ò( Otherwise) that would require home-rule legislation,Ó he said. ÒI f thatÕ s even possible.Ó Still Scozzafava said he supported raising the minimum wage, though he didnÕ t have an exact figure in mind. “I think the overall impact on the economy would be positive and it would reduce our dependency on social programs,Ó he said, adding there were large numbers of the working poor in the Adirondacks. ÒI f you work, in my opinion, you have the right to support yourself and a family.Ó Scozzafava continued, highlighting the pay gap between corporate executives and rank-andfile workers. ÒT hey pay their top people the equivalent of a thousand of their employees or more a year,Ó he said, before interjecting he was Òn ot against capitalism.Ó Those workers who make well above the minimum wage might believe the struggles of their more-exploited brethren do not effect their economic position. But such a view is shortsighted.

Boosting the income of the lowest-paid workers will raise the salaries of higher-paid workers as expectations for fair compensation rise. On the other hand, reducing the pay of the lowest-paid workers will pull down the salaries of higher-paid workers as expectations for fair compensation drop.

North Country laborers should vote their class interests. We should assess local candidates positions’ based on whether they benefit the working class and to what degree. Do our politicians support raising the minimum wage for working families? And if so, how large of a raise do they support? Are our politicians in favor of shifting the tax burden for necessary government services toward the rich? And if so, to what extent? In deciding for whom to vote, North Country workers should consider questions like these. Ñ Denton Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Correction, grateful

Thanks for Eagle help

Breakfast a success

To the Times of Ti: The article published in the May 18, 2013 edition of The Times of Ti, titled “Crown Point Veteran Sacrificed for Freedom,” written by David Bruce is a grand salute to all veterans of any and all wars fought by this country for the freedom and independence of its people.

This article identifies Pvt. Ashley Woods of Crown Point, who enlisted in the Adirondack Regiment, 118th NY, Company Ò FÓ , the article also mentions his second wife Phoebe Meachem. The author David Bruce is the great-great grandson of Ashley Woods and Phoebe Meachem.

Photos in the article are of Ashley Woods and Almina Sprague, not of Phoebe Meachem! The lady in the photo is in fact my grandmother, wife of Judson Woods (grandson of Ashley Woods and Leafy Winters). I am a great-great grandson of Ashley Woods and his first wife Leafy Winters. AlminaÕ s photo was mistaken for Phoebe Meachem.

David Bruce became aware of the mistake during a meeting on June 29, 2013 with a family group, after the article was published.

The above article was published prior to Memorial Day 2013, Saluting Our Veterans, who bravely fought for and defended Our Rights and Freedom.

During the approach of Memorial Day 2014, I feel it is respectful to honor the memory of the three involved in the article (Ashley, Phoebe and Almina) by correcting this unintentional mistake and setting right the identity of Phoebe Meachem and Almina Sprague.

Ashley and first wife Leafy Winters had a son Warren Woods married to Lorinda Fish, their son Judson Woods married Almina Sprague, who had son a Clifton Woods married to Alice Fisher; who are my parents.

We are thankful to David Bruce, it was his article that brought us together. Included in our first meeting were David Bruce, Mary Tubbs, Margaret Lawmen, Lois Ledger, Martin Woods and I, Clifton Woods, Jr., all family and all descended from Ashley Woods, his first wife Leafy Winters and second wife Phoebe Meachem.

We have traced our family ancestry to David Allen 1762-1840.

David is Sarah/Sally Allen’ s father, Sarah/Sally Allen is Ashley’s mother, Jotham Woods 1803-1886 is AshleyÕ s father.

The group meets at regular times, future plans are to have more family involved with rebuilding family connections, preserving our familyÕ s history and heritage. Plans also include a future family gathering at a local site.

We welcome any interest from anyone in the family line and especially those wanting to be involved. Last names in our family line run from A to Z, you could be in our family line.

Nursing Home week To the Times of Ti: National Nursing Home Week (NNHW), which begins on Mother Õ s Day May 11, and runs through May 17, honors the residents and patients currently in skilled nursing and rehabilitation care centers across the nation with special activities and events. Sponsored each year since 1967 by the American Health Care Association (AHCA), this year Õ s NNHW theme is Ò Living the Aloha Spirit,Ó In Hawaii, by Ò Living the Aloha Spirit,Ó a person shows love and respect to others and joyfully shares life to create a better world. Care centers strive daily to attain this ideal for all individuals in their care by focusing on person-centered care and continuous improvement.

This special week is also about people giving care. Caregivers often form meaningful, enduring relationships with residents and families that are beneficial to everyone Ð to the resident and to the caregivers who often consider each other Ò family.Ó These workers help residents overcome the daily struggles associated with age, rehabilitation, and disability.

Nursing Home Week can be a time to reflect on the many challenges that society faces to ensure elderly parents and others are able to access the quality services they need in a skilled nursing care center. Some of the national issues that one day may impede such access include: federal reductions in Medicare payments; limitations on therapy services, such as physical therapy; and government Medicaid payments that are on average $24.26 below the cost of providing care.

Most importantly for the week of May 11 Ð 17, NNHW week is a great time to visit a loved one, friend, acquaintance, or veteran. Take some time with the family to reach out and let a care center resident or patient know that you are thinking about them by visiting. If you canÕ t do that, then make a phone call, send a card, flowers, or even an email.

This special attention will surely help someone catch that Ò Aloha Spirit.Ó Richard J. Herrick President and CEO New York State Health Facilities Association Albany, NYName

Doheny a ‘carbon copy’ To the Times of Ti: After reading the article about Matt DohenyÕ s new run for Congress I came away wondering what could the taxpayer expect from someone who twice couldn’t control himself and paid fines for two, “boating-under-the-influence” incidents! This in itself should disqualify Mr. Doheny as it shows poor judgment. We already have enough people serving in Congress with poor judgment and we need another one like a hole in the head!

Voters only have to listen to DohenyÕ s take on healthcare to see he doesnÕ t know the needs of ordinary citizens. He states that if elected he aims to Òr oll backÓ the Affordable Care Act! This means hundreds of thousands of college students will lose health insurance because their parents wonÕ t be able to keep them on their policies. It also means millions of people on Medicare will be paying more for needed medications as well as co-pays. Those with pre-existing conditions will have to go back to not being able to be insured or forced to pay exorbitant rates with high deductibles.

If this is what people want Doheny will certainly make sure they get it.

He has much to say about Medicare but nothing to say when it comes to supporting it. His answers are in lock step with the likes of those who want to put Medicare out of sight for young people who have paid into the system.

I would ask Mr. Doheny if he has a plan to put in place if is elected and he and his fellow Republicans succeed in repealing the Affordable Care Act? With so many Americans living at the poverty level how will they get healthcare when needed? Will those that lose their homes due to catastrophic illness be given any form of help? Republicans have told us since 2010 when the Affordable Care Act became law, that those on Medicare Advantage plans would either lose them or that co-pays would skyrocket! I, and many of my family and friends have been on Medicare Advantage Plans and nobody I know has lost their plan or had big changes.

In point of fact my co-pays have decreased over the past 4 years!

Mr. Doheny states that he knows the people of the ÒN orth CountryÓ and their needs. He speaks about Òo ver-regulationÓ and wants the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to back off on protecting the public from possible contamination of our food by spillage or pesticides. He speaks of any regulation that protects the taxpayers with scorn. As an investment banker I am sure his income is far above those who work the farms and small industries he talks about helping. He has no idea how those working for minimum wage have to support families and try to have health insurance. Most have to work two jobs while the Republicans in Washington refuse to raise the minimum wage. Mr. Doheny is ready to add his voice if elected to keep people in low wage jobs in poverty.

My take on candidate Doheny is that if taxpayers want a carbon copy of what already exist in Washington they should vote for Doheny. If people want to lose their Medicare and health insurance he is the one that will do his best to make their wish come true. If people donÕ t care about the quality of food again Doheny is the candidate! Mr. Doheny has twisted facts as every Republican candidate has done and there are those who take his word as gospel. In closing let me remind everyone of David Hannum a rival of P.T. Barnum who said ÒT hereÕ s a sucker born every minute,Ó and Matt Doheny knows it!

Two earn high school equivalency diplomas

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

PORT HENRY Ñ A pair of Literacy VolunteersÕ students realized their goals recently and were rewarded with graduation ceremonies.

Shunice Sumnar, 22, of Moriah attended the ceremony on May 1 at the Essex County Offices of LV. Ò I moved back from Alaska with my sons and got my life together, got my drivers license and my GED,Ó said Sumnar. Ò I want to be a nurse, I am going to North Country this fall to start classes.Ó Sumnar credited Literacy Volunteers for her success in obtaining her diploma. Ò Maria (Burke) gave me extra essays and Sandy was such a big help with Math,Ó said Sumnar.

Another diploma earner, Jackie Bessette, an Herbal Life distributor and native Vermonter,

also succeeded with help from Literacy Volunteers and her tutor, Jim Brady. Ò She (Jackie) is without a doubt the best student I have ever had,Ó said Brady. Ò Seventeen years I have been teaching and she was the best, she was motivated and she really wanted to do it.Ó Bessette was part of the GRASS program with CV-Tech and worked on her equivalency on and off for six years before teaming up with Literacy Volunteers.

LV Executiver Director Maria Burke presented each graduate with a gift and words of encouragement in the future successes. Ò It doesnÕ t stop here, keep pushing, keep going after it,Ó Burke said.

Literacy Volunteers made a big push this year with the GED equivalency as the December test was the last exam being offered of its type. Moving into the future in its place will be the TASK exam.

Moriah students head to Cooperstown for History Day

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

MORIAH Ñ Moriah Central School history club students ranging from grades 8 to 12 attended the National History Day competition in Cooperstown.

Moriah seventh and eighth grade social studies teacher Kate Whitney escorted the 16 pupils and helped in preparation for the event. Ò The students competed in March during North Country history day at Fort Ticonderoga,Ó Said Whitney. Ò From there, students were given a theme and based on that theme chose an open ended project.

National History day is an educational program sponsored by the New York Historical Association. The program encourages students to explore local, state, national as well as world history.

Students create projects that can be submitted from the local to national level and evaluated by professional historians. Ò This is the second time we have gone as a club,Ó Said Whitney. Ò In the past students have gone on their own. This year we had a very large group of seniors.Ó

Students themes and names Arms rights and responsibilities: Dylan Scozzafava, Jonathan Brassard, Thomas Yakalis, Cole Gaddor and Kyle Gifaldi.

Human Trafficking: Karla Hayes Rights and Responsibilities of the Roman Empire: Sophie Bryant and Samantha Staples Debate on Abortion: Tanner Conley, Jarron Boyle and Tanner Whalen Nuclear Energy modernization without imperilment: Alexandra Lashway, Christina Lashway, Nicholas Manfred, Alice Cochran and Shonna Provoncha Members of the Moriah history club at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

Moriah Continued from page 1 another long one for he, the business office and the board of education. Ò We had a very tight budget again this year,Ó Larrow said. Ò We have lost $2.4 million in Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) since the 2010 school year. We have experienced a large increase in retirement and had an increase in our special education services this year with new students and additional services needed.Ó The 2014-15 spending plan adopted by the

school board calls for a 4.56 percent increase in appropriations from $15,013,565 in 2013-14 to $15,697,757 in 2014-15.

The budget would lead to a proposed tax levy increase of $100,688 - 2.67 percent - from $3,769,404 to $3,870,092. The increase is at the threshold for the amount allowed by the New York State tax levy cap formula. Ò We have always been under the cap,Ó Larrow said. Ò We are very fortunate we have not had to cut arts or music programs. There are no program cuts.Ó Cuts would include one full time teaching position that would be eliminated through at-

trition and a full time bus driver/custodian that will not be hired for the 2014-15 school year.

The plan would call for an estimated tax rate of $18.40 per $1,000 of assessed property value, up from the 2013-14 tax rate of $17.93.

Voters will also be asked to approve a proposition for the district to purchase two buses and one passenger van.

Larrow said the district will continue to look at ways to consolidate services with the town and local school districts. Ò We share services as much as possible and we look at ways to help each other here in the community and with other school districts,Ó

Larrow said.

Overall, Larrow said the district is in good shape for the moment.

“We are still in a good position financially as a district, but every year is different and you can face different, difficult challenges,” he said. Ò We are constantly looking to ensure that we are utilizing our staff to the best of their abilities and giving the services that are what our students need.Ó Voting on the 2014-15 school budget will take place at the school from noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 20.

Crown Point students learn about college options with CFES

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ Students at Crown Point Central School had the chance to look into the future Friday, May 9.

The school, in conjunction with the Essexbased College For Every Student, hosted a College Day celebration at the school with several local colleges on hand to enjoy a day of games, events, music and fun - a key word according to CFES staffer Andrea McDonald. Ò One of the college people came up to me and said this was the best college day they had been to because it was fun,Ó McDonald said. Ò That gives the students the chance to equate college with fun and become more aware of these schools.Ó McDonald said the event was a good outreach for the universities as well as the students. Ò It can be hard to get to these schools with the cost of transportation and other restraints,Ó McDonald said.

Crown Point CFES Advisor Shane Thelen said the event was organized and put on by the members of the leadership team, made up of students. Ò The whole thing with CFES is developing good leaders to do things on their own,Ó Thelen said. Ò When it is time to do it, they do it.Ó Eleven of the students making up the leadership team were pleased with the message the event gave to students. Ò It took quite a bit of organization and meetings working on what we were going to do,Ó junior Jake Mildon said. Ò We wanted to give everyone the chance to be informed about college and help them make choices earlier.Ó Ò I think it is a great idea to get the chance to explore colleges and learn about the pathways to get there,Ó freshman Mackenzie Bertsche said. Ò Having all of the booths set up in the gym helps kids know about what these colleges have to offer,Ó freshman Cassandra Crossman said.

Continued from page 1 adopted a 2014-15 proposed spending plan that will remain within the stateÕ s tax levy cap of 1.36 percent.

The budget calls for $1,564,964 to be raised by taxes, an increase of $20,964 from the 2013-14 total of $1,544,000. The total spending plan is $6,386,046 for the 201415 school year, if approved by district voters, up $113,718 from the 2013-14 price tag of $6,272,328.

Superintendent Shari Brannock said while the formula came out with an increase under two percent, it was a welcome increase cap.

“For the first time there have been districts that are in the negative when it comes to their tax cap after doing the calculations,Ó Brannock said.

Brannock said that the board had discussed the possibility of seeking a supermajority (60 percent) vote for a budget overriding the cap before they received state funding figures. Ò We have always wanted to do our best to stay below the cap number,Ó she said. Ò We received about $60,000 in adjustments to the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA).Ó

Ò I think its essential in helping kids get an earlier start thinking about college,Ó freshman John-Roch Sears said.

ItÕ s a good chance for all of the students to spend time together outside of the classroom and learn about colleges and career opportunities,Ó said junior Kara Hunsdon. Ò It shows people options, and it was good to have things like Zumba (with Kye Turner) and Ashley (Sofia, singer) here,” sophomore Noah LaPointe said. Ò It really lets kids see the colleges they may not have thought about before,Ó sophomore Makky Coleman said. Ò It is cool that CFES takes time to get these

Overall, the school received a $76,355 increase in state funding, from $4,058,697 to $4,135,052. The board also authorized a $22,446 increase in fund balance to help offset the cost of the budget, using $363,177 in fund balance in 2014-15 compared to $340,731 in 2013-14.

Brannock said increases in the budget such as retirement and health insurance were expected cost adjustments, while the cost of heating the school went, Ò through the roof.Ó Ò Ours doubled,Ó Brannock said of the fuel and heat increases. Ò We had the same issues everyone else did.Ó Brannock said the budget allows the district to continue their student activities along with adding security and technology improvements.

Overall, Brannock said the tax rate will remain lower than it was 10 years ago. Ò We are pretty stable and things are going okay,Ó she said. Ò Our history for having support for our budget is 100 percent since the early 1990Õ s.

We hope that continues.Ó

A fifth petition was received

has refused to allow her to settle up and take ownership. Ò IÕ m prepared to pay full taxes, penalties and fees,Ó she said in a phone interview. “I find it baffling that the county is spending money fighting me in court when they can have all money owed.

Why would they take that route?Ó Brazee said she approached the county as far back as 2007 to pay the back taxes, but Treasurer Michael Diskin advised her to wait to see if the then-owners would square up. Ò Sure enough, they came in to pay the taxes,Ó she said. Ò These were same people who owned it prior, but they got a new name.

I went to the county clerk’s office and saw two men who were not familiar to me and I got any info I could. They all knew I was here.Ó Now, Brazee alleges that North Hudson Town Supervisor Ron

Ahead of tax auction, resident wages war against county pete@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON Ñ A long-simmering property dispute came to a head last month when lawyers for a local resident filed suit against Essex County ahead of an auction designed to sell off their tax delinquent properties.

The plaintiff, Sindy Brazee, alledges the town of North Hudson is trying Ò squeezeÓ her off the property and is using the county machine to intimidate her after their efforts, including what she perceived as Ò bogus code enforcement,Ó were thwarted.

But hereÕ s the catch: Brazee does not own the pair of parcels. She has never owned the land and the cabin where she lives, both of which technically belong to the county, who took possession after the former owners, North Hudson Associates LLC (and before them, Panther Mountain Water Park, Inc.), failed to pay taxes since 2007.

Welcome to the murky world of squatterÕ s rights.

At the center of the lawsuit is the concept of adverse possession, the doctrine under which a person other than the deedholder can claim ownership under a certain set of conditions.

According to court documents obtained by the Valley News, Brazee has been in Ò continuous, uninterrupted occupation and possessionÓ of the two parcels on 4050 Blue Ridge Road in North Hudson since August 2003, something that legal precedent dictates might be enough to shine a light in her favor.

The plaintiff, who works as a landscaper at Yogi Bear Campgrounds in North Hudson, said she had arrived at an agreement with the former owners to stay on the property in order to fulfill the mandated residency requirements as part of her former position as the townÕ s assessor.

After making a series of improvements to the cabin, Brazee said she lost contact with the owners. Ò They fell off the face of the earth,Ó she said.

Brazee told the Valley News that she has tried to pay the $26,585.03 in back taxes owed on the larger parcel but the county

Schroon Lake Continued from page 1 district was only given a 1.01 percent increase for the 2014-15 school year, which they were able to meet with a $7,563,002 spending plan, up 2.2 percent from 2013-14 ($7,400,244). Ò We were in a good place this year and the process did not prove to be overly challenging,Ó Superintendent Bonnie Finnerty said. Ò The board has been very fiscally responsible and we were able to put together a budget with no

Lions club plans Memorial Day garage sale, gift raffle at Boathouse SCHROON Ñ The Town of Schroon Lake Lions Club will be hosting their annual Memorial Day Weekend Charity Event, but there have been big changes for this season.

With the untimely passing of Ed Haroff, who had so graciously in the past donated his time and services for the event, the LionsÕ have decided to change the format of the event.

This year it will be a two-day Garage Sale and Charitable Gift Raffle May 24 and May 25 from 9 a.m. till 3 p.m., at the Boathouse (adjacent to the boat ramp). The Garage Sale is located indoors, so this event will be held rain or shine.

In conjunction with the garage sale, there will be an ongoing Charitable Gift Raffle of gift certificates, services and other new items that have been donated by area businesses and residents. Purchase raffle tickets anytime during the Garage Sale and the winners will be drawn on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Winners do not need to be present. Raffle tickets

reductions in services and staffing will remain the same.Ó The budget will utilize $380,000 in fund balance (up $30,000 from the 2013-14 allotment) to keep the tax levy below the state threshold, which is up from $6,080,181 in 2013-14 to 6,163,211 for the 2014-15 school year. Ò This is a very sound budget that enables our district to continue to offer the programs that we have been to our students,Ó Finnerty said, adding that all extra curricular programs had been kept along with an expansion of college credit course and career and technical pro-

Moore is conspiring with the county to take ownership of the property for the amount owed on back taxes Ñ not at the full market value, which was assessed at $247,900. Ò When the county took over these properties, there were some people living there and they were issued eviction notices,Ó Moore told the Valley News in a phone interview. Ò As I understand it, Ms. Brazee obtained legal counsel and she has not vacated.Ó Moore said Brazee has not, to his recollection, discussed the issue personally with him, including at a town board meeting last month.

For Brazee to emerge victorious over the county, her legal team will have to clearly demonstrate the common law requirements that have emerged over time that have set a precedent for adjudicating similar cases. will be $1 each or 14 for $10.

The Club is still in need of donations and is soliciting the Adirondack community for new and used items (in good condition), along with donations from local restaurants and service businesses.

Free pickups for donations can be arranged by calling Lion Dave Harder at 532-9827 or Lion Bette Manley 532-7575. Thise dropping items off directly at the Boathouse can do so Friday, Saturday or Sunday (May 23-25) between 9 a.m. and noon.

Proceeds from the garage sale and raffle are used to aid the visually impaired and disadvantaged on the local, national, and international levels. The auction is one of the main fundraising events that the Town of Schroon Lions Club holds, with 100 percent of raised funds allocated and spent on charitable programs. The raised funds go towards Lions Annual Scholarships, summer recreation programs and Emergency Dialer Equipment.

Examples of items that will not be accepted are: outdated electronics, refrigerators, stoves and other large appliances.

grams.

Along with the budget, voters in the district will vote whether or not to allow the school to purchase a wheelchair-accessible, 22-passenger bus at a sum not to exceed $67,100. Finnerty said the bus was up for vote based on student need.

The district is also looking at a proposition to to reduce the terms of school board officers from five years to three years, starting with the 2015-16 board vote. Ò We do not have one right now and based on looking at our student enrollment we are going

to have a need and do need to purchase a bus to meet that need,Ó she said.

Voters will also vote on a budget resolution to move $300,000 of unallocated fund balance into a new reserve account dedicated for use as a repair reserve.

Finnerty said the district will again be conducting exit polling, which will include asking voters about the New York State Alternative Veterans Exemption. Ò When this came before the board, they moved to table the discussion until they had the chance to poll the voters and see what direction

St. Joe: Provoncha earns Liberty Bell award at annual Law Day

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The countyÕ s brain trust, otherwise known as the Essex County Bar Association, packed the Deer Õ s Head Inn on Thursday, May 1 to pay homage to a certain non-lawyer citizen in the local community: a private citizen who stimulated a deep sense of individual responsibility and civic duty.

Someone who strengthened the effective of the American system of law in keeping with the spirit of the Constitution.

After the lofty talk cleared, one man was standing: County Clerk Joseph Provoncha.

But the North Hudson resident isnÕ t only the clerk, which is why he won the award, the Liberty Bell.

HeÕ s served on the 4-H Youth Board and,

representing the other end of the spectrum, with the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program.

HeÕ s served with artists (Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks), with watchdogs (Substance Abuse Prevention Team) and, as the Chaplain of the North Hudson Fire Company, with firefighters putting their lives on the line.

This is alongside work as his townÕ s historian and as a Eucharist Minister and all-around go-to guy at the Our Lady of Lourdes Church.

Perhaps the only slight on his record, if it could even be described as that, are the 28 years that he has spent chaperoning local students down to Albany to learn more about how state sausage is made.

Essex County Justice Richard Meyer joked that ProvonchaÕ s parents, who sat beaming beside their son, must have had triplets and didnÕ t tell anyone. Ò Joe certainly has a calling,Ó said Meyer, Ò and thatÕ s reflected in everything he does.Ó Meyer cited ProvonchaÕ s Ò exemplary, ex-

traordinary character and accomplishmentÓ and called him the Ò most humble and modest person I know.Ó And so it was on May 1, which was also the Saint Day for St. Joseph the Worker, Provoncha lived up to his reputation as Joe the Humble.

Provoncha joked his time spent on the Schroon Lake Public Library Board counted as time spent in Purgatory. Ò I had a great example from my parents,Ó he said in his acceptance speech. Ò And to my friends and family Ñ you are special to me.Ó Officials from the Essex County Bar Association present Joseph Provoncha with the Liberty Bell award on Thursday, May 1.

Money may grow on trees I

f you are sitting at your maple kitchen table, or rocking in that old oak rocking chair your grandma gave you, there is one thing they have in common. They are both made of wood and they came from trees that were harvested.

Logging and forest management practices are as old as civilization.

In the beginning it may have been a sharp stone that was beaten against a tree. That lead to an axe, which is just a sharp stone with a handle, then the steel age came and a metal head was forged.

Along with an axe, a saw was used and the two became logging tools. The chainsaw came about and made the axe and hand saw obsolete.

Horses or oxen were used to haul the logs out of the woods. Wagons and sleds, then trains and trucks hauled the timber. In the end, the logs were delivered to sawmills, paper mills, furniture factories, and any other venture that utilized wood products.

Things have changed. Chainsaws are still used, but slowly they have moved over to allow the really big boy toys to take over.

This past weekend I took advantage of the nice weather and went to the Northeast Forest Products Expo in Vermont. Huge equipment with names like Tigercat feller bunchers, Timberwolf firewood processors, Barko log loaders, Timberjack skidders, Timbco forwarders, and Bandit chippers where on hand to see, climb aboard and some were even being demonstrated. Powered by diesel engines like Cummins and Caterpillar, these forest and timber harvesting machines were awesome. Watching a 16 foot log 20 inches in diameter being chipped up in under a minute is something to see.

Smaller forest owners needing equipment got to choose from names like HUD-SON, Farmi, Stihl, Husqvarna, Fransgard and Igland. Portable sawmills that go to the woods were on hand and both beams and boards were being cut as demonstrations of the machines ability and ease of use.

Forest management for bio-fuels such as chips and pellets, saw logs, and firewood products all have some specialty machines.

Whether you own a small woodlot like my own, where I was looking for a three point hitch winch to allow me to manage and harvest my own logs for boards, fence posts and firewood, or you own a thousand acres of timber where you utilize production equipment, it was all there to see, hear and touch.

Band saw mills cut out boards. Chippers chipped chips. Shavers shaved shavings and

chainsaws and rotary blades sawed out firewood. It was two days of pine scented pleasure and lumber leisure.

Soren EriksonÕ s Game of Logging held a training session on chainsaw safety and felling tactics. I got to see the fellow who trained me back when: Game of Logging saw master, Bill Lindloff of ProCuts Co. Along with all the equipment, there were two Discovery ChanBy Rich Redman nel logging documentary loggers on hand who are renowned. Bobby Goodson of the Swamp Loggers show and Jeff Pelletier of American Loggers fame were on hand to meet some of the young blossoming loggers, woodsmen and women and future foresters. I got to meet both of the guys and they are the real deal.

For Christmas I bought my grandsons the logging DVDÕ s so they would know what forestry and logging was all about and not have some misconception about cutting down a tree. Bobby Goodson and the Pelletier Family are big names in our house and the boys have learned a respect for logging. I would rather have them watch a DVD about logging, than sitting doing some stupid video games killing people.

Soon my young trainees will be in the woods with me learning about trees, forestry and timber management, while we make deer and grouse habitat.

Homes, barns, towns and cities were built from forest products. The land gets farmed for food, and the forest gets farmed for wood products. So while you sit back in that rocker of oak, have coffee at the maple kitchen table, read a book or paper or think about that note you wrote to your mother for MotherÕ s Day with a Ticonderoga pencil, remember they are all made from forest products.

Many of our neighbors make a living logging and working the land. Forestry is the wise use of a renewable and sustainable product. In my opinion we should be using more wood and less oil and plastic.

Money may grow on trees if you manage your woodlot; plastic doesnÕ t, but wood does!

Brown School District Clerk TT4/5,4/19,5/3,5/17/20144TC-43126 ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR 2013 TOWN OF TICONDEROGA WATER DISTRICT P.O.BOX 471 TICONDEROGA, NEW YORK 12883 (Public Water Supply ID#1500293) INTRODUCTION To comply with State and Federal regulations, we will be annually issuing a report describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. This report provides an overview of last year's water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact Mr. Derrick Fleury, Water Operator at (518) 585-6144. We want you to be informed about your drinking water. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled town board meetings.

The meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the town hall at 117 East Montcalm Street, Ticonderoga.

WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM? In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.

The State Health Department's and the FDA's regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

The Town of Ticonderoga water system has two interconnected sources of water, Gooseneck Pond and Lake George.

The Gooseneck Pond source is located approximately nine miles west of the former Village of Ticonderoga.

Water flows by gravity via a 14" transmission main from Gooseneck Pond to the Chilson Reservoir storage facility. Chilson Reservoir is a one million-gallon, uncovered concrete reservoir. Gooseneck Pond water is treated by redundant hypochlorination and a potable water corrosion control inhibitor (zinc orthophos-

LG = Lake George Source GP = Gooseneck Pond Source Notes: 1 - Turbidity is a measure of the clarity of the water. We test it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system.

State regulations require that turbidity must always be below 5 NTU. The regulations require that 95% of the turbidity samples collected have measurements below 1.0 NTU for diatomaceous earth filtration.

Our highest single turbidity measurement during 2013 at the Baldwin Landing filtration plant occurred on 5/13/13 (0.25 NTU). All turbidity measurements taken during 2012 at our Baldwin Landing filtration plant were below 1.0 NTU. Our highest single turbidity measurement during 2013 from our Gooseneck Pond source occurred on 7/19/13 (0.25 NTU).

During 2013, our system was in compliance with our treatment technique for turbidity.

2 - The Water District is under a reduced moni-

NTU. Our highest single turbidity measurement during 2013 from our Gooseneck Pond source occurred on 7/19/13 (0.25 NTU).

During 2013, our system was in compliance with our treatment technique for turbidity.

2 - The Water District is under a reduced monitoring schedule for lead and copper testing.

Samples were required in 2011.

3 - Water containing more than 20 mg/l of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on very restricted sodium diets. Water containing more than 270 mg/l of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on moderately restricted sodium diets.

4 - During 2011, 20 samples were collected and analyzed for lead and copper. The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of the lead or copper values detected at your water system. In this case, 20 samples were collected from your water system and the 90th percentile value was the third highest value for both lead and copper. The action level for lead was exceeded at two of the sites tested. The action level for copper was not exceeded at any of the sites tested. The range of lead samples taken was between ND to 26.0 ug/l. The range of copper samples taken was between 0.03 to 0.35 mg/l.

5 - Two samples were collected and analyzed for Haloacetic Acids during 2013. The sampling sites were at locations in the distribution system that were served primarily from each separate water source.

These numbers represent the specific value measured from each system and the average value.

6 - Two samples were collected and analyzed for Total Trihalomethanes during 2013. The sampling sites were at locations in the distribution system that were served primarily from each separate water source.

These numbers represent the specific value measured from each system and the average value.

7 - The MCL presented became effective on January 1, 2004 for the Ticonderoga Water District.

8 - Sampling for Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts began on October 1, 2013. We are required to collect a TTHMs and a HAA5s sample at each of two sampling locations per calendar quarter.

Our sampling sites are; Site #1 Dr. Mack's Veterinary, Site #2 Ticonderoga Fire House. We collected samples from these sites on 11/20/13.

Compliance is based on a locational running annual average.

Hence, there is not sufficient data to determine compliance at this time.

9 - A violation occurs when a total coliform sample and/or an E. Coli sample are positive and a repeat total coliform sample and/or an E. Coli sample is positive.

Definitions: Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Non-Detects (ND): Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.

Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU): A measure of the clarity of water.

Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person.

Milligrams per liter (mg/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one million parts of liquid (parts per million ppm).

Micrograms per liter (ug/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one billion parts of liquid (parts per billion - ppb).

WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN? As you can see by the table, our system had no violations.

We have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below the level allowed by the State.

IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER RULES THAT GOVERN OPERATIONS? The Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) is a federal law which applies to all public water systems and requires that any water supply using surface water as a source develop an alternate groundwater source or install filtration facilities. The Ticonderoga Water District provides filtration treatment on the Lake George source. The Gooseneck Pond source meets the criteria established by the State Health Department for filtration avoidance.

The Ticonderoga Water District is in violation of the SWTR. This violation is based on failing to replace the uncovered Chilson Reservoir as required and inadequate filtration treatment at the Lake George filer plant.

Therefore, we are required to include the following statement in this report: "Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches."

The NYSDOH initiated an enforcement action against the Town of Ticonderoga on March 23, 2009 for failing to cover or replace Chilson Reservoir. This enforcement action was further refined and expanded on August 2011 to address inadequate filtration treatment at the Lake George filter plant. The Town has accepted a stipulation agreement as part of the enforcement action. The stipulation agreement requires the Town to complete construction of a project that will 1) replace the Chilson Reservoir with a new storage tank, 2) upgrade or replace the Lake George filtration plant, and 3) upgrade or replace the Gooseneck Pond water supply by December 20, 2016. We are working with our engineering firm and the NYSDOH to achieve compliance with the SWTR. We are drilling new production wells in the Street Road hamlet area and anticipate that this groundwater source will be available in 2016.

SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT SUMMARY The NYS Dept. of Health completed a source water assessment for this system based on available information.

This assessment for Lake George found an elevated susceptibility to contamination for this source of drinking water. Land cover and its associated activities within the assessment area does not increase the potential for contamination. While there are some facilities present, permitted discharges do not likely represent an important threat to source water quality.

There is noteworthy contamination susceptibility associated with other discrete contaminant sources, and these
