TICONDEROGA Ñ A war of words flamed up last week between the chief administrator here and the head of a neighboring sheriffÕ s department over the hiring of three officers.

Supervisor Bill Grinnell did not mince words when expressing his disappointment over the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department nabbing three of the Ticonderoga PDÕ s six full time police officers. ÒM y concern comes from someone who apparently has no respect about the needs of the smaller community by gutting our police force,Ó Grinnell said. “One officer goes, it’s a problem and you are not happy losing a good employee, but you can work with it. We have even lost two before, but three?

I also know a fourth was contacted about changing jobs.Ó The loses included the departmentÕ s investigator and sergeant, leaving only Chief Mark Johns in the administration of the department.

Grinnell made clear he did not have a problem with the three officers who transferred.

He said the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department offers pay, benefits and retirement incentives that a small town like Ticonderoga cannot match.

Ti High School business students line up ‘job’ interviews

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com

Ò After some assignments designed for students to think about what they like, where they want to work, what they want to work with and how they should be rewarded they write an essay about themselves and what they want in a career,Ó he said. Ò This is intended to make them think about themselves, something most people are not comfortable doing. We then work on preparing a resume, cover letter, filling out an

TICONDEROGA Ñ It can be one of the most nerve-wrecking experiences in a young professionals life: the job interview.

Many people entering the business world for the first time may experience nervousness, self-doubt and uneasiness when faced with the person on the other side of the desk who holds their potential future employment in the balance.

For students in Bill MorseÕ s Personal Finance/Career Management class, their first interview has been made easier after living through the experience in school.

The school started to hold mock interviews for students about eight years ago. Ò I enlist local business people to conduct the interviews,Ó Morse said. Ò This year it was Pam Nolan and Shawn Hayes from Ticonderoga Credit Union, Vicky Frasier from the hospital, David Shelmadine from IP, physical therapist Wendy Bresett, Matt Courtright from the chamber, Laurie Cossey from the school business office and Taylor Ward from Snug Harbor.”

Morse said the interview and associated work - preparing a resume, cover letter and an “ideal job” essay - is the final exam for the class.

application and preparing for an interview.Ó On interview day, students are paired off with one of the local businesspeople for their interviews, where they are graded on how they present themselves, answer questions and react with the person interviewing them. Ò We always have a couple of issues that pop up the day of the interviews,Ó Morse said. Ò This year one student forgot his dress clothes and

had to run home and get them and a student come to school with laryngitis, so she was rescheduled, but, generally, the day goes great.Ó Ò I think that it is great for high school students, especially seniors, to know how to write a resume and cover letter and what to expect in a job interview,Ó Bresett said. Ò This taught me what to put on my resume,Ó junior Georgette Fazioli said. Ò The hardest part was preparing for when the interviewer asked me to tell them about myself. It puts you on the spot.Ó “It helps you prepare and figure out how to go with the flow during an interview,” junior Lindsey Hellier said. Ò The challenge for me was explaining what my weaknesses are. You get the chance to really look at yourself and the things you can improve on.Ó After the interviews, Morse has students write thank you notes to their interviewer which Morse delivers.

Ti app designers bring online dating to arena, stage and field

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Everyone wants to go to the next big game or concert, but nobody wants to go there alone.

ThatÕ s where a duo of Ticonderoga businessmen come into play.

Brian Little has teamed with Adam Porter to create a mobile application that allows those seeking a date for a sports, concert or other ticketed event to both find seats to the game and someone to sit next to them call GameDate, which they expect to launch this week for Apple and Android mobile devices. Ò I sat down with Adam, created a concept and partnered with Majestyk Apps out of New York City, who just won an IBM mobile design contest,Ó Little said. Ò We also partnered with Seat Geek, a site that funnels all of the pricing information from the different ticket web sites into one area for any seat.Ó The application comes in two parts. First, those who download the app and register will be sent into the dating portal, where they can select their preferences. Ò It is similar to the Tinder application,Ó Little said. “You can flip through a group of people and every person you invite gets a push notice.

If they accept the invitation, then they will be able to message between each other and if there are multiple people accepting, you will be able to message and say which person you have decided to go with.Ó Once a potential date has been located, the app will take users to the ticket market, where they will be able to find seats for the sporting event or show they are interested in.

Little said while the name of the app brings sporting events to mind, the program will work for, Ò anything you can get a ticket for.Ó Ò The live event circuit will be a much bigger industry then just sports,Ó Little said. Ò If you want to meet someone from Saratoga and go to a concert at SPAC with them, you can do that through this app. We call it Tinder with a purpose.Ó Little and Porter have received the patent for the app, which Little said has a lot of potential. Ò There are many different aspects of the app that can bring a lot of interest to the market,Ó he said. Ò We will be making money off the app the day it launches. We will have sponsored events and teams or arenas can pay to be on that list, along with a pop-up for a main sponsored event. We will also be getting a 50-50 split on revenue from all tickets sold with Seat Geek, which is good because

Fresh look and ownership at A Cut Above hair salon in Ti Yunhui Lee and business partners seek to create a relaxing environment

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ South Korean native and longtime entrepreneur Yunhui Lee returns to the Ticonderoga area to take over as owner and operator of A Cut Above, located at 2 Hinds Street. Ò There is a change in management here at A Cut Above,Ó said Lee. Ò I saw the opportunity about 10 months ago and went after it, to continue pursuing my American dream.Ó The American dream Lee discusses started in 1996 when she immigrated from South Korea to Ticonderoga with daughters Nini and Ilene. Lee worked in the community as a stylist and beautician before moving onto the Salon Hello Beautiful in Warrensburg. From there she opened the doors to Hello Beautiful, her Schroon Lakebased salon. With 16 years of experience under her belt, Lee said she still loves what she does everyday and appreciates being able to pursue this dream. Ò Yes, I struggled, but here I am,Ó said Lee. Ò Expanding my dream.Ó In an effort to maintain a smooth and easy transition for the customers and stylists alike, Lee has kept the name of the business, phone

number and employees consistent. Along the same liness the salon will still offer the ever popular $10 Tuesdays for mens cuts and monthly specials. Patrons are encouraged to check their facebook page for promotions. Ò We wanted to make a relaxing environment,Ó Lee continued. Ò We are starting to build back the client base so we made our prices more affordable we can now offer comfortable and friendly family hair care.Ó Business partners Kylie Austin and Alisha Rafferty also maintained their place in the salon and stated many positives about the transition. Ò Customers love the renovations,Ó said Austin.

Speaking of the change in paint color and opening up of the floor plan. Ò Its a lot more calm here,Ó said Rafferty. Ò Working with Yunhui has been great. In this business you need to grow and push yourself, Yunhui has helped me do that.Ó Accommodating customers and their needs are tantamount to the business partners.

Ò We are going to be closed on Wednesdays,Ó said Rafferty. Ò But if a customer needs something and needs it done at a certain time, we are going to make it work if that means staying open late or coming in early or on days off.Ó July 15 will be the one year anniversary for the Salon, and the three partners are working on a way to celebrate.

Ò I want to say a special thank you to our veterans, especially the Korean war veterans,Ó said Lee. “Their sacrifice for us and gave me the ability to pursue my American dream. I greatly appreciate it, because of them I learned to dream to work hard and that I could have a better life.

Thank you for teaching me to never give up and to appreciate everyday.Ó

Fatal motorcycle accident on Hague-Bolton border during Americade Tongue Mountain accident

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

BOLTON Ñ A motorcyle accident in Bolton left one dead and two injured June 6.

The initial report came at 1:20 p.m. on Route 9N just north of Padanarum Road on the border of Hague and Bolton, with Warren County SherriffÕ s department responding.

The scene of the accident is known locally as the Ò SÓ curves on the descent of the South side of Tongue Mountain. This area is of particular danger to motorcyclists as the curves are sharp and

only briefly marked.

The crash comes during the annual Amcericade Motorcycle rally based in Lake George where, post-rally, three other incidents have been noted in Hadly-Luzerne, Queensbury and Lake George.

John Avellino of Clifton Park was pronounced dead at the scene following a collision with a utility van. Ò Mr. Avellino was riding with a group of motorcyclists but was slightly separated from the group,Ó said the Warren County SheriffÕ s department in a statement. Ò Mr. Avellino was operating a 2007 Yamaha 1300 southbound on Route 9N approximately 1.5 miles north of Padamarum Road when he left his lane of travel and entered the northbound lane of travel. He was struck by the

GMC van operated by Stephen Frank (Lake George).Ó Keith Van Veghten of Albany and passenger Mary Hoyle also of Albany were also riding at the back of the group and entered the debris field post accident causing a second, non fatal crash.

Both parties were transported to Glens Falls hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Ò There is no indication at this time that alcohol or drugs were contributing factors in the crash,Ó said the SheriffÕ s Department. Ò No tickets have been issued at this point in the investigation.Ó With the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department the Bolton Landing Fire Department/rescue squad and the Hague Fire Department and Emergency Squad responded.

the job. He also denied the department recruited the officers, saying they were contacted only after they had applied for the positions.

In wake of the situation, Grinnell said they had hired a full time officer who previously was working for the Essex County Sheriff’s Department and a part time officer from the Schroon Lake area. Both hires have been trained through a police academy. Ò ThatÕ s a big part of it,Ó Grinnell said. Ò We just got taken for $150,000. It costs us to train new recruits and then we still have to pay to cover those shifts while they are getting trained at an academy. These two have already been trained, so that is a plus, but we still have two full time positions to fill.”

Currently, Grinnell said the department has changed shifts from eight to 12 hours to cover the shortages and using part time officers to fill other holes in scheduling.

The VA: Dysfunction at its best

T

he VeteranÕ s Administration is again under fire, and rightly so, but their incompetence, which borders at many times on criminal malfeasance, goes much more deeply than wherever their current flash point issue happens to be.

The most recent issue surrounding the VA, which has caused their director to step down amidst the turmoil, revolves around VA clinics falsifying records to show that veterans were seen within a certain amount of time, when in fact they hadnÕ t been seen within that time frame. Some veterans, it has been shown, have died while waiting to be seen. While the spectre of falsifying records is a new twist in the VAÕ s record of bureaucratic incompetence, their overall way of doing business is still just as bad.

The VA has fairly simple marching orders: provide medical care and treatment for veterans once they leave the service. But the VA is a monolithic behemoth, which is nearly impossible for a individual soldier to make their way through on his or her own.

Getting a foot in the door initially when a soldier leaves the service is the first stumbling point, but it shouldnÕ t be. A soldier might serve in the military for 20 years or longer. During this time their every move is documented; every deployment, every injury, every location theyÕ ve ever lived is recorded by the Department of Defense. So when they leave the service and apply to the VA that information is digitally transferred from the DOD to the VA, right? Wrong.

The soldier has to apply to the VA, provide their own documentation for things like known injuries or medical conditions, then wait for the VA to review their records and accept them into the system. Why? It’s understood that a soldier who qualifies will be applying to the VA when they leave the service. Why canÕ t their records automatically follow them to the VA? According to Washington officials, it’s just not technologically possible to do. The government has invested millions of dollars trying to figure out a way to employ some fairly simple 1990s technology to track these records, but were apparently not able to figure that one out.

So a soldier applies, and finally, eventually makes their way into the VA medical system most likely after months of waiting. When youÕ re accepted into the VA system you can go to any facility nationwide, wherever you happen to be, right? Wrong again.

Consider a veteran in our area, who winters in the south. That veteran has to pick which VA facility they want to receive their treatment in,

north or south. Is this the case in the civilian system? Do you have to pick which hospital you will receive your care in? Of course not. If you typically receive treatment in Plattsburgh but are on vacation, a couple keystrokes at the hospital will bring up all your medical records and insurance information while you sit there. Why can’t the VA figure this technology out?

Now what if the soldier is one of the thousands who came back from one of our decade long wars disabled in some way? Their medical and service records transfer directly to the branch of the VA that handles disabilities, right?

Nope, wrong again. Why? Again, it appears that the government canÕ t figure out the technology to make this simple transfer of records possible. Ditto for the branches that handles veterans’ educational benefits, and cemetery benefits. You start back from scratch each time you come to a new command; prove who you are, where you served, prove that you qualify for these benefits. These should have all been locked in the day that veteran left the service.

Now think about this...what is the government actually capable of when it comes to tracking records. Currently the NSA is able to track every phone call made, apparently anywhere in the world. They can read and store every email sent, and are even in the process of combing the internet with their facial recognition software, for reasons they are quite reluctant to discuss.

So is the VA unable to transfer veteransÕ records because the technology doesnÕ t exist, or does the will to spend the money required to bring their Jurassic system into the twenty-first century simply not exist in Washington? Maybe instead of reading the emails of millions of lawabiding Americans or European allies, the NSA could and should be sharing their technology with the VA in order to build a system where veterans arenÕ t dying while waiting for their records to be processed; where snow-bird veterans arenÕ t forced to choose which VA facility will treat them, or prove a disability when they leave the service missing a limb or an eye.

Our government simply doesnÕ t care enough about our veterans to pay to put in place technological systems that clearly have existed for years, if not decades. Perhaps the criminal malfeasance in Washington shouldnÕ t be placed just at the feet of the VA any more, but should fall to those of the President, Senate and Congress as well. Ñ

To the Times of Ti: My sons and I are from out of town and we were visiting my Father and Brother living in Port Henry and Moriah. My father, both brothers, myself, my two sons and my nephew all have Hereditary Angioedema or HAE. My youngest son had a bad attack on the way back from Plattsburgh. I brought him to the ER that night and I was dreading the usual questions and nonbelief of what we were prepared to deal with in explaining this disease. Your RN Kristi Mars asked immediately for an explanation of what she would be dealing with. We explained what the disease can affect, hands, feet, abdominal swell or even a throat swell. She performed her duties with utmost respect for the patient and was trying to help relief some of the stress. PA Jim Lepiscopo was informed and he followed through with getting the meds administered in a timely manner. HAE was discussed and these two individuals listened attentively and made us feel as part of the team caring for my son. This was by far our best experience in an ER for this condition ever. We are so grateful for how we were treated and the attention we received. A nightmare that we usually deal with at the ER was a very pleasant experience that helped to also provide information to your staff in case of any future cases that may be seen there. We wish to sincerely thank these two outstanding healthcare professionals.

Disagrees with letter To the Times of Ti: Mr. SafranyÕ s often snide and disparaging criticism of DenpubÕ s Editorial BoardÕ s support of raising the minimum wage struck me as being quite na• ve regarding the downside of pure free-market capitalism. The definition of capitalism in my 1986 edition of Ò WebsterÕ s New World DictionaryÓ includes the statement Ò É it is generally characterized by a tendency toward concentration of wealth, and, in its later phase, É increased governmental control, …” What this definition fails to note is that this Ò increased governmental controlÓ includes important efforts to reduce the capitalist-generated burden on the public of Ò free-market externalitiesÓ such as environmental pollution and diminished public health. Left to their own devices free-market capitalists prefer to either ignore the negative impacts of their functioning or, failing that, propagandize the public in an effort to minimize the publicÕ s awareness of the negative impacts it generates, as they have done with tobacco-related health problems and carbon-dioxiderelated climate problems.

IÕ d feel much more positively about free-market capitalism if it spontaneously and rapidly made constructive efforts to minimize the public costs of dealing with the low minimum wage, recycling, pollution, bodily injury, and general environmental and infrastructure degradation engendered by its activities. Governmental regulation would not be needed in such a situation.

However, most politically active capitalists have chosen a different route to combatting regulation, and theyÕ ve garnered enough wealth now to make this route very easy. Their response has been simply to buy (or successfully lobby for) sufficient control over government to make these negative externalities the responsibility of the tax-paying public (which includes them as little as possible).

Alternative answer To the Times of Ti: As a school board president, it was most interesting to read your editorial regarding the affordability of school resource officers.

Concern for student safety in this day and age has given rise to an impassioned dialogue, with lots of folks rightly pointing out that itÕ s a priceless commodity these officers would be protecting. Lots of others are all too eager to vote down hefty school tax increases. But the need to react to current events is inescapable.

Many new safety measures have already been put in place in most districts. At Indian Lake, weÕ ve installed video surveillance and forced people to be buzzed through doors that previously had remained unlocked.

Troopers and deputies patrol the building from time to time.

www.timesofti.com Would any of these measures stop a committed assailant? Certainly not.

TheyÕ d come back later if they saw a cop car parked out front. There are dozens of eye-level windows in our building. There are 11 separate entry doors. The playgrounds and ball fields are open top the woods.

Would a full time “resource officer” solve the potential problem? I think not.

Since these attacks are extraordinarily rare (although increasing), this officer would presumably have nothing to do day after day, month after month. Individuals in that type of situation canÕ t be expected to maintain a high degree of alertness indefinitely.

I have proposed, on a couple of occasions over the years, that we send one or more willing individuals from our building for law enforcement training sufficient to qualify them to become deputized and keep a firearm on the premises. This could be the Principal, a teacher, a custodian or a cafeteria worker. Any of them would already be at work in the building, doing a job, active and awake.

Then we would no longer be the sort of defenseless gun-free zone that has attracted nearly every one of these atrocities. Help would no longer be a phone call and up to a 45 minute drive away.

I was surprised that not a single person expressed support for my proposal here at Indian Lake. Perhaps in Essex County you can do better.

Seek response from pols To the Times of Ti: Not often small communities can celebrate a museum of national significance as the North Creek Depot Museum. The depot is a New York State and Theodore Roosevelt National Historic Site. The depot, built in 1872, was a key role in the development of the North Country.

Teddy Roosevelt, one of our greatest presidents, became president at the North Creek Depot in 1901.

We celebrate his impact on our community. One of the rooms houses the early development of skiing at North Creek.

Thousands come from all over the country and abroad to enjoy our museum and are charmed by it. Over 7,000 visitors came to the depot in 2013.

While working as a docent at the depot I met a French couple who were amazed we have to struggle to get legislative support for the museum. If it werenÕ t for the volunteers we would not have a museum.

Now this is make or break time to keep our museum alive in our community. Why havenÕ t our state legislators come forward, be supportive and help us celebrate a great president and history of skiing in New York State.

We have met with several legislators and received no commitment from them. I understand there are other worthy endeavors in the works. However, people of our community feel the depot museum should be our first priority.

Dedicated people work long and hard to support the depot museum and feel itÕ s the legislators time to come forward.

TICONDEROGA Ñ Ò Stepping UpÓ , a one-day video event seminar, is being held in Ticonderoga on Saturday, June 21.

The free video seminar is coordinated by the GateKeepers group of Ticonderoga in cooperation with other local area churches. It is being hosted at Cornerstone Alliance Church who is also providing a free pre-event breakfast from 7 to 8 a.m. The morning session will run from 8 to 11:30 a.m. followed by a free lunch and the afternoon session will wrap up around 3:30 p.m. The day will be filled with inspiration, fellowship, and giveaway prizes. Please RSVP online at gktisu.eventbrite. com.

The Ò Stepping UpÓ video seminar is based on the book by Dennis Rainey. Dennis Rainey, Matt Chandler, Tony Dungy, Crawford Loritts and others unpack biblical manhood and what it means to be a godly, courageous man in todayÕ s world. They challenge men to step up, to reach back to younger generations, and to point to the future through a personal legacy. The seminar gives tools to help men strengthen their lives, marriages, and families.

“I have been on a ‘mission’ to find the meaning of being a Christian,” says Steve Jabaut of Schroon Lake. Ò As a result of the diverse denominational demographics, the value of the wisdom shared is incalculable. I have grown much deeper in my walk with the Lord as a result of Gatekeepers.Ó Please RSVP online for the seminar at gktisu.eventbrite.com to register and receive free tickets for the seminar sessions and breakfast. For more information about Stepping Up or GateKeepers, please email GateKeepers at gatekeepers.men@gmail.com or Facebook GateKeepers Adirondacks or by phone 223-5183.

Meeting to look at options for dwindling pool of SLCS student-athletes SCHROON Ñ Less students in school means less to draw from in order to field middle and high school sports teams.

In Schroon Lake, the athletic department has been facing this issue, having dropped junior varsity basketball programs and not fielding a modified (typically grades 7-9) baseball team this spring.

This leaves school athletic director Lee Silvernail looking for answers, and he is seeking the input of the Wildcat community at a special meeting planned for Tuesday, June 17, 6:30 p.m. at the school. Ò We want to provide parents and the community with the information about the state of the program,Ó Silvernail said. Ò We want to make the public aware of our situation and really get their input because they are the ones that support our teams and we really want their feedback on the future of athletics in Schroon Lake.Ó Silvernail said that, based on current numbers, the school could be, “At risk of not fielding several teams,”

Friedman Continued from page 1 He has also served on the boards of the Essex County Development Corporation, the Essex County Industrial Development Agency, the Schroon Planning and Revitalization Council, the Warren County Board of Realtors, as president of the Essex County Board of Realtors (ECBR), and as chairperson of ECBRÕ s Professional Standards Committee.

for the 2014-15 school year.

“We are looking at a mix of modified and varsity sports, mostly with the fall and spring sports,Ó Silvernail said. Fall and spring sports require the greatest number of student-athletes in order to compete, with soccer (11 required to field a team) played in the fall while baseball and softball (nine) is played in the spring, along with a varsity golf team.

In winter, the Wildcats will seek to field modified and varsity basketball teams for both boys and girls, which only require five players to field a team each. Ò In the coming years we are going to have problems across the board in all sports,Ó Silvernail said. Ò We are looking to solve this issue and we are looking for community involvement and input to do that with.Ó Nothing has been lined up as potential options for the 2014-15 school year as far as sports where rosters may fall short, but the district is looking at all options. Ò We want to know if people want to potentially see merged teams or if they want to stay the way we are,Ó Silvernail said. Ò That is where we need and want the input The future of several Schroon Lake sports teams will be the topic of a public forum at the from the community.Ó school Tuesday, June 17.

Ò We thank Mr. Friedman for his ongoing service and dedication to our community, and hope that everyone in the community will join us in congratulating him and honoring his achievements,Ó Schroon Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Patrick Siler said.

Friedman said he has been pleased with the growth of the Adirondack Marathon, which started when Dan Perry returned home from a marathon out west and then drove around Schroon Lake, realizing it was the perfect size for

a 26.2-mile marathon route. Ò In the second year I got fully involved and I have been the race director for the last 10 years,Ó Friedman said. Ò We now have between 1,400 to 1,500 runners that come throughout most of the United States and throughout the world.Ó Friedman said runners keep coming back for the beauty of the Adirondacks along with the hospitality they feel from the community. Ò The perception among runners is that the entire town comes out to see the race and cheer on the runners,Ó he said.

Ò There are a lot of people out cheering and they are hearty and supportive.

ThatÕ s what makes this an incredible event.Ó Friedman is also working to give back to the community through the marathon, seeking to raise $60,000 for donations to be made to local organizations and college scholarships to be awarded to students from Schroon Lake and North Warren Central School districts.

Currently, the marathon gives away $8,000 in financial aid to students from the two schools.

Ò We want to have the marathon start giving back in a major way, as well,Ó he said.

Events like the Adirondack Marathon and programming from other organizations are what Friedman feels are needed to reach the goals set for he and his brother by his father. Ò IÕ m looking for Schroon Lake to be a successful, sustainable community,Ó he said. Ò That is what I have always worked toward. I want Schroon Lake to survive and the Adirondacks to survive.Ó

George Moore later upped his bid to $65,000, $5,000 more than North HudsonÕ s bid, but supervisors still voted June 3 to accept the bid made by North Hudson Supervisor Ronald Moore on behalf of his town. Ò ItÕ s just wrong,Ó said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, who voted against the handover. Ò The bottom line is that you better have good reason why you reject the bid. This wasnÕ t a good reason.Ó Ronald Moore (no relation to George) told county officials that his townÕ s economy was crippled by the large amounts of stateowned land that prohibited economic development. The parcels, he said, would act as a much-needed lifeline.

Joining Scozzafava in voting against what many perceived as a backhanded deal between the board and the North Hudson leader was Gerald Morrow (Chesterfield), David Blades (Lewis), Mike Marnell (Schroon Lake), Bill Grinnel (Ticonderoga) and Dan Connell (Westport).

County officially votes to hand Frontier Town to North Hudson pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Board of Supervisors filed into their chambers at the Government Center on Tuesday, June 3 after leaving an 87-year-old man to wait on a hard wooden bench for nearly an hour before telling him that they were officially rejecting his winning bid for the former Frontier Town property in North Hudson.

The four remaining parcels, which George Moore offered $49,500 for at a competitive auction that was advertised for months, would have completed his empire.

After the announcement, the manÕ s lawyer ushered him outside.

George Moore sighed: Ò Are we dead?Ó he asked his lawyer, Andrew Russell. Ò They won this round,Ó said Russell. Ò But until the deed is signed, weÕ re not dead.Ó While Essex County has argued that they had the right to reject any bids at the auction to sell off tax-delinquent properties on April 30 Ñ they rejected MooreÕ s bid of $49,500 on the grounds that it did not meet the minimum reserve on taxes owed before voting to kick it over to North Hudson for $60,000 Ñ MooreÕ s legal team is claiming that they were not informed of a minimum reserve, either verbally or in written materials.

The Valley News reviewed the legal materials provided by the firm that brokered the auction and did not see any indication of a reserve.

‘Petrified’

North Hudson will hold a town meeting on Thursday, June 12.

There, the town board will officially vote to purchase the parcels for $60,000, cash that will come from the townÕ s general fund.

Town residents have a say. They can file a petition requesting a permissive referendum to allow a vote to determine if they want the parcels or not.

Sindy Brazee, a North Hudson resident who is suing Essex County for ownership of a pair of properties on the Frontier Town lot under a claim of adverse possession, said local residents are “petrified” of going on record against the town’s desire to acquire the properties.

Ò They go after you with code enforcements,Ó she told the Valley News. “They’re terrified of speaking out. If your assessment goes up, you can’t fight it because they stack the code board.”

To the courts

Russell has indicated that he will sue the county on behalf of his client.

Last month, County Attorney Daniel Manning acknowledged that the two parties were in the early stages of litigation and the 55-minute private discussion in the middle of a public meeting last week was designed for him to give legal advice to the board of supervisors, who are technically his clients.

That private meeting was exempted from the provisions of the open meetings law that seeks transparency in government affairs.

Despite what happens, a lawsuit on behalf of George Moore would mark another black spot on the tiny townÕ s record.

The county is currently in litigation with Brazee over adverse possession rights while the town of North Hudson is locked in combat with elected assessor Bruce Caza over a residency issue. Ò So many people have contacted me who are against the sale,Ó said Russell. Ò The board is doing this based on speculation Ñ thatÕ s the scary part. It shows favoritism. And the taxpayers are losing.Ó “I firmly believe this land acquisition offers all of those opportunities for economic growth to the town,Ó said Ron Moore. Ò I believe that both the town and the county will eventually benefit from this. If I was not convinced that this was in the best interest of the town of North Hudson, I would have never considered it.Ó

It marks the first time the powerful group (it spent $300 million during the 2012 election cycle) has entered the fray in a Republican primary, indicating, at the very least, judging by the content of their television ad that began airing on Tuesday in the Albany, Watertown and Plattsburgh media markets, that they are not supporters of GOP hopeful Matt Doheny.

American Crossroads, which is called a Ò super PACÓ because of its ability to raise an unlimited amount of money from individuals from anywhere in the country, sunk $242,000 into a halfminute spot that features ominous, horror movietype music as it attacks Doheny on several issues, including his past races for the seat, lawsuits and allegations that the candidate, an investment banker from Watertown, violated labor laws.

Ò It would be a big mistake to send him to Congress,Ó it concludes before identifying American Crossroads as the organization responsible for the advertisement.

Aside from Doheny, no other candidates or their campaigns were mentioned.

The Doheny campaign was outraged: Ò IÕ m deeply troubled by the mean, personal and, in part, untruthful attacks launched on me

by Elise StefanikÕ s out of town supporters,Ó said Doheny in a written statement on Tuesday. Ò Partisan politics is tough enough, but even more troubling to me is the precedent set today that wealthy Republican donors and a reported Ô fundraising terroristÕ from outside our district have decided that they will choose who the next representative will be from the North Country.Ó Doheny is referring to Paul Singer, a billionaire hedge fund manager whose committee, Winning Women, kicked in 41 percent of the campaign contributions reported by Elise Stefanik, DohenyÕ s opponent in the Republican primary, in the first quarter of 2014.

That sum was $110,917, according to campaign filings. The committee also contributed to several other female Republican congressional candi-

dates in Arizona and Virginia.

The Stefanik campaign is not affiliated with American Crossroads and SingerÕ s relationship to the candidate is confined to that of donor.

A spokesperson for the Stefanik campaign denied involvement in a written statement to the Valley News on Wednesday afternoon: Ò Elise has run an issues focused, positive, grassroots campaign from day one, and will continue to do so. She has stayed positive in all her campaign messaging, unlike her opponent, and her message is resonating with voters all across the North Country,Ó said Charlotte Guyett, campaign press secretary. Ò If Mr. Doheny doesnÕ t like the issues raised by a group that used to support him, he should complain to them, not to us. They obviously believe Elise is the strongest candidate to win this seat with new ideas and a fresh direction.Ó American Crossroads President and CEO Steven Law also issued a statement: Ò Local Republicans are uniting behind Elise Stefanik as the kind of exciting, conservative leader who can win and hold this seat,Ó he said. Ò Elise will be a champion for lower taxes, smaller government and dismantling Obamacare.Ó

In Q1, Stefanik reported a fundraising haul of $268,000. The number of donations at or below $250 was 310.

‘I can’t be bought’

In his statement, Doheny stressed his connection to the region and the voters. Ò Whether you support me or not, everyone knows I canÕ t be bought,Ó he said. Ò People of the 21st Congressional District know me. IÕ m a mainstream Republican, a proven vote getter who has been vetted by Republicans, Democrats and news organizations throughout the district. Nothing in the ad is new, or news. The fact is as a true son of the North Country, I have the experience, knowledge and resources to win. Most importantly, polling shows our campaign with a commanding twenty point lead over Democrat Aaron Woolf, leaving only one question: Ò Elise Stefanik, what is the deal? Who are the donors that are behind your campaign and what have you promised them that is so important that Crossroads would cross a line they have never crossed before?Ó See more of this story at denpubs.com

half goes toward operating costs. The prolonged uncertainty makes it difficult for the chamber to plan accordingly, he said, a situation that is not unique when it comes to other towns in the county. Ò ItÕ s hard to have a three-year plan when you donÕ t know how much funds youÕ re going to have.Ó He said there used to be 22 empty storefronts in downtown Port Henry.

Now there are none, a transformation he said is a testament to their efforts. Ò Festivals and cultural events are an important part of our experience,Ó he said. Ò With some funding from the occupancy tax, we could do a whole lot more.Ó Bryant said the towns that donÕ t receive direct funding from ROOST indirectly support those that do because tourists trickle outward due to a lack of developed infrastructure.

Moriah has only 15 hotel units. Ò But we have a lot more than 15 visitors,Ó he said.

Participants in the regionÕ s annual bass tournaments stay in Ticonderoga, he said. Ò They come here to use the boat launch, but they would stay here if we just had the facilities.Ó Margaret Bartley, a representative of the Elizabethtown-Lewis Chamber of Commerce, expressed similar sentiments. Ò Our two motels and four bed and breakfasts are usually booked,Ó she told supervisors. Ò We send them to neighboring communities Ñ like Lake Placid, Keene and Westport.Ó According to figures provided by the Essex County Treasurer’s Office, Elizabethtown contributed $3,185 to the occupancy tax in 2013, a figure that has remained relatively consistent over the past decade. Westport kicked in $4,129, or $82,544 since 2000.

Port Henry generated $17,730 since 2000, while Moriah Center contributed exactly nothing in the 14 years since the tax was instituted.

As for Lake Placid, the village generated $1.6 million last year and $17.2 million since 2000, about 958 times more revenue than Port Henry. Ò We need to support events in Essex County,Ó said Bartley. Ò A little bit spread around is the best way to fertilize the ground.Ó Ò Why should we?Ó countered North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi. Ò We generate most of it.Ó Ò Each town needs to promoted,Ó said Schroon Lake Supervisor Mike Marnell. Ò Maybe set aside some portion for each town to use equally.Ó Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell asked ROOST CEO Jim McKenna for a refresher course on how the agency allocates its funds. Ò There seems to be a lot of confusion and unknowns,Ó he said. Ò Including people who have been here for awhile.Ó

June 14, 2014

Moriah Chamber expresses concern over occupancy tax use pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Essex County lawmakers voted unanimously on Tuesday, June 3 to ensure the sweet sounds of the countyÕ s summertime lifeline Ñ the cha-ching of the cash register Ñ will resonate for at least another three years.

The countyÕ s board of supervisors is required to approve the renewal of the three percent occupancy tax on lodgings that has brought in more than $20 million since its initial imposition in 2000.

Ninety-five percent of that number is turned over to the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST), the agency tasked with marketing outreach, to promote tourist attractions within the county.

The remaining five percent is used by the county for operating costs.

Despite passing unanimously, several lawmakers and local officials revisited a common refrain: We want more.

‘Just a little piece’

Moriah Chamber of Commerce President Tim Bryant said his organization does a lot to promote their lakeside town with little resources.

The chamberÕ s operating budget is $12,000 per year. Half of that, he told lawmakers at the meeting, goes to fundraising. The other

Formal process

ROOST has carved its territory up into four regions, McKenna told supervisors.

Strategies are in place to promote the High Peaks, Lake Champlain, Whiteface and Schroon Lake regions to the traveling public, he said.

Each fall, the board of supervisorsÕ occupancy tax advisory committee greenlights the plan submitted by ROOST that maps out the

strategies, which means the lawmakers, in theory, have a say in how the funds are allocated before they approve the plan.

Individual towns are required to go through a formal application process to receive funding outside of those parameters for individual events. Ò Funds shouldnÕ t be used for the annual pig roast, so to speak,Ó said McKenna.

He said his agency has allotted $59,000 for event promotion outside of North Elba, including 16 fishing tournaments.

Bryant said he wasnÕ t aware of the application process. He said he is already looking into submitting the forms that allocated funds for next summerÕ s schedule. Ò I encourage everyone to meet with Jim and his staff to make the process more clear,Ó said Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee. Ò They really do a lot to promote our towns.Ó McKenna admitted the lack of man-made facilities posed a challenge, but held his office’s strategies up as models of success.

ROOST is in the preliminary stages of exploring the idea of creating sub-regions Ñ like Elizabethtown, Lewis and Keene Ñ to give the towns a bigger bang for their buck.

McKenna reminded supervisors that his agency was contractually obligated to show a return of investment of $60 per $1 spent on marketing efforts. Ò ROOST does a great job,Ó said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. Ò We just want a little seed money. If something happens in Moriah, it will impact other towns.Ó Ò WeÕ ll be pushing ahead,Ó said Bryant. Ò WeÕ re not walking away from this.Ó

Forward

At a meeting earlier this year, McKenna told lawmakers that while revenues generated by the occupancy tax were the highest theyÕ ve ever been last year at $1.9 million, itÕ s important to note that the figure is a direct result of the increase in lodging opportunities Ñ including last JulyÕ s opening of the Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa in Lake Placid Ñ and continued efforts are required to keep that number climbing.

Eighty-five million people live within a six-hour drive of the region, he said, and it’s important to create a unified front and start competing against tourist draws outside the region Ñ like Europe and Cape Cod Ñ and stop positioning themselves as competitors to regional bedfellows Lake George or Old Forge.

On Monday, June 9, ROOST released a leisure travel information study conducted by a third party determining that visitors spent $93 for every occupancy tax dollar spent on marketing in 2013.

McKenna estimated this past weekendÕ s 10th Annual Lake Placid Marathon, to single out just one event, generated about $726,000 in direct spending for the town and $28,600 in sales tax for the county.

In a written statement, he expounded on MondayÕ s report: Ò This data underscores the correlation between our marketing strategies and the resulting economic impact to the region.Ó According to a study conducted by Tourism Economics in 2010, North County tourism is a $1.1 billion industry, generating $144 million in state and local taxes. Ò We have to continue to drive overnight visitation,Ó said McKenna.

You bet your bass the fishing is good!

Times of Ti - 19

West Branch Ausable’s Two Fly Challenge

W

hile I was pulling into the Mountain Brook Lodge in Wilmington, I couldnÕ t help noticing all the license plates from various states. It is way too early for all the family tourists to be coming so they must be fly fishing folks I thought. The Two Fly Challenge was starting Friday, May 16 and the rod and reel, fly flicking guys where coming to the West Branch of the Ausable for a fishing rendezvous!

Normally I wouldnÕ t be getting a room to go fishing as I live only an hour away, but with the festivities going into the night, I didnÕ t want the hassle of driving back and forth from fishing and going to the nightly events and banquet. Besides my brother just celebrated his 60th, May 12th, so I got him registered for the Two Fly for his birthday. He is new to fly fishing and it’s time to break him in, West Branch Ausable River Adirondack New York style of course, isnÕ t that what brothers are for!

During the morning registration, everyone who had fished any other streams was required to dip their waders and boots into a solution that decontaminated the waders before fishing the Ausable. This would disinfect the waders from invasive species, especially didymo , which is also known as rock snot.

In HAZMAT terminology itÕ s called DECON! The Two Fly, is a fishing challenge where only two flies of your choice are used each day for the two day contest. If you lose your flies, that day is over as far as the contest is concerned. You can still fish, but it doesn’t count. Each participant is given a score card, and buddy up with a partner. They are on the honor system when they go fishing on the river. At the end of each day the fly fishing aficionados would turn in their cards with the type of fish caught and its length. The challenge ends the second day, and the total lengths for each entry are tallied.

Our first day out, Friday, was in fair weather, overcast with a storm threatening. We fished below the ski slope in some large boulder pocket water, where the rock is as slick as the proverbial manure. Cleats or felt soles are highly recommended in this water during early spring fishing. A wading stick is also recommended, fly rods don’t function as support staffs when youÕ re going down. Losing two flies is one thing, snapping a “boo” wood rod, and mashing face on granite would not be cool! I did get one nice Brown that day, out of a seam, so I was happy, the team didnÕ t get skunked!

As many as 75 guys had registered for the challenge and we met many of them. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Ontario Canada were all represented by some of the best folks one could ever meet. All corners of New York were covered as far as participants. Newburgh, Potsdam, and even some guys from Cheektowaga, a town in western New York where we grew up, home of some slammer polish kielbasa sausage!

That evening there was a fly tying demonstration at the ski center, while auction and raffle items were shown. During the program, two guys, Seth Warden and Doug Moody played acoustic guitar and violin. They did some serious Tom Petty.

Donations were given by local fishing shops. The Two Fly Fishing Shop owned by Tom Conway and the HARDY Grey Company were the primary sponsors of the program.

Supporters included the Hungry Trout, the Fly Shack, and numerous other businesses such as the Mountain Brook Lodge. Local artists did paintings, and one fellow donated a 4 weight homemade bamboo rod. All sorts of fly fishing equipment such as rods, reels and all the other jingle and jangle equipment that hangs from a vest was on hand. Local support for the event runs strong in Wilmington, I even saw Randy Preston, WilmingtonÕ s supervisor on hand for the event. I noticed him eyeballing some of the fishing equipment; I think it was the sinkers.

That night it rained, and I mean it rained.

The reports I got were that the cubic feet per second of river flow went from 1600 to over 12,500, with a river rise of over 5 feet. We are talking, serious killer kayak conditions with white caps. Nymph fishing in that would be like standing along the track fence during the Daytona 500.

Saturday, we went up stream in what Fran Betters called the sweet water sections. Even there though, with a five foot rise, the bank was now along the road or in the woods. We gave it a try, but we knew we didnÕ t have a

real chance anyway. But we came to fish and that’s what we did!

While fishing, I am always observing the river and what is happening, itÕ s the stream walker in me. ItÕ s amazing what the wetlands along the upper Ausable do. They hold all the excess water and let the river rise and lower the way itÕ s supposed too. The

By Rich Redman floodplain and wetlands along the river absorb the impact of the rising water and slowly release nutrients back into the waters. Willow, alders and red osier dogwoods line the banks and bend with the flows, the way things should be. I was bending with the flow and after some fruitless efforts to hook a brookie, brownie or bow, we headed back to town.

Needless to say, it was time to meet and greet all the other guys. The banquet was held at the Whiteface Ski lodge, CloudSpin Room.

The winners were announced and awards given out to professional, adult and youth classes. Winners were as follows: ChildrenÕ s Division 1st Place Jake Weaver 2nd Place Michael Hoffman

Conservation

Conversations

H

i s torically, brook trout and lake trout have been the primary spring species for anglers on most local lakes and ponds, however Fathers Day weekend has long signaled the traditional opening of Bass Season.

Although legislation now permit anglers to practice ‘catch and release’ bass fishing year Ô round across most of the state; I always believed the traditional Bass Season Opener on FatherÕ s Day was a most fortunate occurrence.

Bass are voracious feeders, and when they are “turned on”, there is likely no finer species to fish for. When they are Ô onÕ , bass are hard charging, tough fighters with a flair for acrobatics and drag screaming runs.

In terms of recreational angling opportunities, there is likely no finer fish than a smallmouth bass.

If taken home, their white, flakey meat makes a wonderful meal on the grill or fried in the pan.

While bass are one of the most abundant game species in the state, they are also one of the most

underutilized sporting resources in our region, which has historically been regarded as a haven for trout and salmon.

Although Lake Champlain is regularly identified as one of the most productive bass fisheries in the entire country, most of the regionÕ s lakes and ponds are relatively untapped in terms of bass waters.

Bass are also to be found in a majority of the regionÕ s major rivers including the Saranac, Raquette, Hudson, Schroon, Sacandaga, and the Indian.

While Lake Champlain is likely to remain king of the regionÕ s bass waters, they are also found in a majority of the regionÕ s lakes and ponds, which makes them one of the most accessible game species available.

A top ten list of suggested bass waters includes: 1. Saranac River and Chain of Lakes 2. Long Lake 3. Raquette Lake and and Raquette River 4. Blue Mountain Lake 5. Lake George 6. Black Lake (St. Lawrence County) 7. Indian Lake 8. St. Regis Lakes 9. Floodwood and the Fish Creek Ponds 10. Forked Lake Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

During the dinner, the main speaker, Gary Hodgson from Lake Placid, spoke about building a birch bark canoe and pack baskets out of local White Birch trees. Auction items where won and given out along with some complementary gifts promoting the event.

Every one of us had a great time.

The town of Wilmington and all the great people who supported this event are doing a great thing to promote our area. Fly fishing of course, was the hot topic of conversation, along with who went where and fished what stream in Alaska, Colorado or Montana.

There were some fish tales being told, and some where even believable!

Fly fishing was the language of the night, but we all spoke the same words, we all agreed that New YorkÕ s West Branch of the Ausable is one special jewel. Everyone agreed we would all be back next year, come hell or high water once again! Life is not just about the fish, it’s about living!

Special thanks to Tom Conway and the HARDY Grey Rod Company for their donations and especially to Michelle Burns of the Whiteface Region Business and Tourism Center. Without these folks it would not happen!

NYSPHSAA Div. II and Federation Champ: Jay Hebert

By Keith Lobdell

Ò Today I felt great and I thought I was going to hit the 14.0 barrier,Ó Hebert said. Ò Every title keith@denpubs.com means as much as the last one. Ò I was not able to get a personal best, but they were my two CICERO — Everything had built to the final three races in the New York State high school best runs of the season and I was within twoone-hundreths of my personal best.Ó career of Ticonderoga senior Jay Hebert.

The day prior, Hebert claimed the top time Running in the 110 hurdles at the NYSPHSAA in the preliminary rounds with a time of 14.14 outdoor track and field championships at Ciseconds. cero-North Syracuse High School June 7, HeHebert then went out midday Saturday, June bert scored two more state titles, claiming both 7, and scored the Division II title. Shortly after the Division II and Federation championships with times of 14.06 and 14.10 seconds, respec- receiving his gold medal on the podium, he was back on the track where he scored the victory tively. in the federation event, which includes runners from small schools, large schools and private schools from throughout the state. Ò Coming off the Division II finals I had to stick with what I was doing and I had a good finish,” Hebert said. Ò The Division II title is nice, but to prove to everybody that I was the best in the state was the goal.Ó It was the fifth 110 hurdles title for Hebert, who will next compete in the New Balance Outdoor National meet at North Carolina A&T University in Greensboro, N.C., June 13-15. Ò I am hoping that I can go down there and be right there with the rest of the athletes,Ó Hebert said.

Taking a moment to reflect on his high school career, Hebert said when he started track in the seventh grade, he never expected what was going to happen over those five years. Ò I never imagined I would be on this stage,Ó he said. Ò Coach (Walter Thorne) sticking with me was a big help in my career and my parents taking me to the big meets and always supporting me is something that has been very important to me.

I do not think any athlete would be here without the help of their parents.Ó Thorne said a key to HeJay Hebert crosses the finish line in the 110-meter hurdles. bertÕ s championship career Photo by Keith Lobdell has been the way he has car-

ried himself in his community and with his fellow competitors. Ò He has put Ticonderoga on the map and has done so with great style,Ó Thorne said. Ò All of the athletes in the state admire and respect the way he carries himself.Ó Thorne said Hebert has answered every challenge he has faced, including facing the best fields in the state, while growing into a leader for the Sentinels. Ò It has been fantastic to watch him each year get better and better,Ó Thorne said. Ò He has been a leader and a captain and helps with the younger hurdlers to the point that I now have more then I ever have in the program.Ó One of those hurdlers, Shawn Silliman, joined Hebert at the state championship meet, running the 110 hurdles in the preliminary rounds but finishing 11th with a time of 15.61 seconds, about one-half second off of the pace for a top eight finish for a final appearance.

Ò They are each others biggest fans,Ó Thorne said. Ò A lot of ShawnÕ s success comes because of what Jay has done with him and Shawn is now the heir apparent and I look for him to have a fantastic 2015.Ó “Jay has some really big shoes to fill,” Silliman said. Ò He taught me all I could know about hurdles. He has been there for me and all I can do is be there for him. Next year, I am looking to get out of the prelims and into the final.” Ò To have someone here to talk to and hang out with at the hotel has been great,Ó Hebert said. Ò I am very happy that he stuck around the extra day to cheer me on and I know he will have a great season next year.Ó Silliman said he was pleased with his performance. Ò It was better than I would have thought,Ó he said. “I got hit over the first hurdle and had to get over that quick. It was a fun run, though, and I canÕ t wait to do it again.Ó

Local softball, baseball teams suffer defeats in regional play Class C softball

PLATTSBURGH Ñ In terms of hits allowed, TiconderogaÕ s Hannah Ross matched Lindsey Thayer of St. Lawrence, giving up only a trio of hits compared to the two allowed by Thayer.

However, it was the walks, strikeouts and errors columns that sent the Lady Sentinels home from the Class C regional semifinals June 5 on the short end of a 9-0 defeat to the Lady Larries. Ò Errors killed us,Ó head coach Shelly Young said after the game. Ò Our pitcher was a little frustrated with a strike zone that was a little tight early but she settled in and battled.Ó Ross walked three batters in the opening inning, all of who scored on a wild pitch and pair of errors. The Larries scored four of their final six runs on throwing errors. Ò We made mistakes we typically do not make,Ó Young said. Ò You have to give them credit as well, though. We do not see a lot of pitchers like Thayer during the season and they were very disciplined at the plate.Ó Thayer struck out 13 Sentinels, while allowing only on ball to leave the infield, a seventh-inning single off the bat of Savannah Bezon. The only other Ti hit was an infield bunt single by Sadie Hamel.

Young said the team had a strong year and she is hopeful for the future. Ò We lose Kyle Austin and Maura Jebb and will miss them,Ó Young said. Ò We have a good group of solid kids coming back.Ó

Class D softball

PLATTSBURGH Ñ When playing an experienced, defending state championship team, you have to keep up with them early.

The Crown Point varsity softball team was unable to do that during the Class D regional finals a Cardinal Park June 6, giving up six runs to Fort Ann en route to a 19-0 defeat. Ò You cannot spot the defending state champions any runs and we did that,Ó Panthers head coach Mike Ross said. Ò It takes you out of the game in a hurry. That is a good hitting team and you need to field the ball. We missed some chances and it hurt us.”

The Lady Cardinals scored in all but the fourth inning, scoring four times in the third and seventh; twice in the second and fifth; and once in the sixth.

For the Panthers, Savannah Crammond connected for a single in the third and reached base on a walk in the sixth. Morgan Macey connected for a single down the right field line in the seventh,

while Hunter Spaulding reached base after being hit by a pitch in the sixth.

Ross said while the season ended with a tough defeat, it was a successful year for the squad. Ò I think we had a great season,Ó he said. Ò Losing to the defending state champs isnÕ t the worse thing. Getting here was fun.Ó The Panthers will look very familiar in 2015, only losing first baseman Amanda Wolf to graduation.

“We have some good girls coming up from modified to go with what we have,Ó Ross said. Ò We should be right back here next year.Ó

Class D baseball

PLATTSBURGH Ñ While seven errors hurt the Moriah Vikings in their Section VII/Class D championship game against Lake Placid May 29, it was what happened in the bottom of the second that may have turned the game against them.

The Vikings dropped an 11-5 decision to the Blue Bombers, a game that was tied heading into the bottom of the second when Tom Rancour hit a single up the middle to lead off the bottom half of the inning. Jordan Greenough was then walked and Billy Larrow was hit by a pitch, loading the bases without the Blue Bombers recording an out.

However, the Vikings came away from the inning empty handed as a pop-out to the first baseman and two strikeouts ended any hope of an early score.

In the next half inning, the Blue Bombers scored six runs, capitalizing on five Moriah errors to give them the stakes they would need to win the sectional title. Ò It was not a cleanly played game,Ó head coach Casey Nephew said after the game. Ò They took more advantage of our errors.

It hurt when we did not score in the second because they came back and scored six runs and that was not good for morale. We battled back with four in the bottom half, but the energy was not there after that.Ó In the bottom of the third, CJ Raymond singled and scored on a throwing error which allowed Austin Allen to reach third base.

Allen then scored on an error that allowed Chris Clarke to reach third, who then scored on a throwing error during the same play.

Greenough then scored on a fielders choice.

Raymond scored the only other run of the game for Moriah off an RBI single by Austin.

Raymond, Allen, Rancour and Greenough had the lone singles

in the game for the Vikings.

On the mound, Clarke allowed only a pair of earned runs, both in the seventh. He allowed 11 hits while striking out seven and giving up only one walk on 107 pitches. Ò Chris threw a lot in sectionals and had great control,Ó Nephew said.

Class C baseball

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Ticonderoga Sentinels continued to play solid baseball as they entered the 2014 NYSPHSAA regionals against Hoosic Valley June 6.

Unfortunately, the Indians were also on top of their game, earning a 3-0 victory against the host team at Chip Cummings Field in Plattsburgh. Ò With every pitch there was pressure in the game,Ó Ticonderoga head coach Dan Dorsett said. Ò I thought we were able to put some pressure on them but we didnÕ t get the bounces. We had some solid at bats and when we hit like that, I thought weÕ d have at least a couple runs on the board.Ó The Indians scored their first run in the second inning, when Alex Carlo drove in Jared Morello on a single. In the sixth, singles by Don Espey and Conway Gillespie led to a pair of runs.

Defensively, catcher Aaron Bush had a strong game behind the plate, throwing out a pair of runners attempting to steal second base. Ò He has put the most work into throwing down to second by staying late after practice and working on his form,Ó Dorsett said. Ò I was really happy to see him play a game like this.Ó The Sentinels opened the game with lead-off hits by Ty Denno and Blake Gautreau in each of the first two innings, with Denno being stranded at second and Gautreau caught in a pickle on a stolen base attempt. Denno had a two out single in the third, the final hit of the game for Ticonderoga as only Michael Graney (error) and Gautreau (walk) reached base in the final four innings.

“My guys had confidence going to the plate and their pitcher did a good job with pitch location,Ó Dorsett said.

Ryan Trudeau took the loss on the mound for the Sentinels, pitching a complete seven innings while allowing three earned runs on nine hits and three walks to go with seven strikeouts. Ò Ryan did a nice job with his pitches,Ó Dorsett said.

NYSPHSAA Div. II Champion: Halie Snyder

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CICERO Ñ All those runs up the hill on Camp Dudley road from Cub Beach to the entrance to the YMCA boysÕ camp paid off for EKMW senior track star Halie Snyder.

Snyder ran the Division II 400-meter sprint at the Cicero-North Syracuse high school track in 54.96 seconds, almost six-tenths ahead of the next closest finisher (55.55) to win the Division II NYSPHSAA Championship June 6. Ò I am so happy,Ó Snyder said. Ò My teammates have been so supportive of me all season and the Moriah community is so supportive of us a athletes that it pushes you to do better.Ó Snyder credited her runs up the hills in Westport, where the members of the combined team of E(lizabethtown-Lewis)K(eene) M(oriah)W(estport) trains, as vital. Ò It works on strength as endurance, and that is what you need for these events,Ó Snyder said. Ò I have done hundreds of those to get better and faster.Ó Ò Halie is one of the most competitive athletes I have been around in my 56 year being involved in Track and Field,Ó EKMW coach Howard Hammonds said. Ò She works hard, and competes even harder. She had to make up for the years where she really had no coaching or proper instruction of running fundamentals and no athlete works harder than Halie Snyder.Ó Snyder went into the 400 Federation championship June 7 as the top seed in the event, but was bested by Zola Golden of Arlington, who cut her time from over 55 seconds to a 54-flat run. Snyder finished fourth in a time of 55.11. Ò This was just an honor to get the chance to run with these girls,Ó Snyder said. Ò No one was catching the winner today.Ó Snyder said she was concerned early during the second day of the meet, showing up barely on time to take to the starting line of the 200-meter Division II final. Snyder had

qualified for the finals with the third-best time of 25.57. In the finals, Snyder placed third while improving her preliminary time with a 25.46 second run. Ò My legs were pretty tight because I was late for the event,Ó she said. Ò I knew I had the 400 federation meet after and I decided I had to just run my race and see where it takes me.Ó In her third event of the state meet, Snyder placed 12th in the preliminary rounds of the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.63 seconds.

Hammonds said Snyder has had a career to be proud of. Ò She now holds all the sprint records indoor and outdoor for Section VII and some of which will stand for a long time,Ó Hammonds said. Ò She has been an absolute joy to coach.Ó As a senior, Snyder will now start to weigh her options as to where she will continue her track and field career in college. Ò I have some schools that have talked to me,Ó she said.

Halie Snyder takes to the podium.
