By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

HAGUE Ñ Following the 90-minute question and answer dialogue with the republican and green party candidates in the race for the 21st Congressional District, community members were asked their exit opinions.

The following is a sample of their answers: Times of Ti (TT): Ò Do you feel in leaving the night that your opinion of any of the candidates has changed?Ó

Fred Hundson (Ticonderoga): Ò No, not really. They all had good answers. It is what I thought it would be.Ó TT: Ò Without the need to name a candidate, do you feel that leaving tonight you have a better idea of who in your opinion would be the best fit?”

Fred Hundson: Ò I do, I do, itÕ s something I am going to go home and think about. You see, my best thinking always happens right after I go to bed. I sit and I think things over.Ó TT: Ò It was good to see the candidates in Hague, were you happy to see them come to this area?Ó

Eagle Scout Matthew Cook cuts ribbon on new beach pavilion TICONDEROGA Ñ On Saturday Morning June 7, Joanne Cook woke up to a perfectly sunny and calm spring day, thinking she couldnÕ t have ordered better weather. Today would be the ribbon cutting ceremony at the new pavilion at Ti Beach.

The pavilion is the Eagle Scout project of now 18 year-old Matthew Cook who has been a member of Ticonderoga Boy Scout Troop 72 since the age of six. He is the son of Jeff and Joanne Cook.

Bill Grinnell, Ticonderoga Supervisor, noted that the town beach, located in the town of Putnam, is testament to neighbors working together for the benefit of the greater community.

Grinnell acknowledged the Cook FamilyÕ s long history of volunteerism and community service, so it is no surprise that Matthew had accomplished this for the local community. Bill read the first proclamation he had the privilege of writing as supervisor, where MattÕ s accomplishments were acknowledged and June 7, 2014, was declared to be Matthew Edward Cook Day in Ticonderoga. Ò Today IÕ m a very happy woman,Ó said Joyce Cooper, chair of the beach sub-committee. Ò IÕ m happy because Matthew Cook was willing to take on the huge Eagle Scout project of building a pavilion for Black Point Beach, the most extensive (and expensive) Eagle Scout project I have seen since I returned to Ticonderoga. For me, this project is the final piece of the Black Point Beach improvement project which began 12 years ago.

Of all the town projects in which I have been involved, this is the one I am most proud of. It has been said it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it takes a town and its volunteers to improve a beach.Ó According to Cooper, the pavilion will provide a gathering spot for groups and a place to get out of the sun and weather for beach visitors.

Councilmen Wayne Taylor and Dave Iuliano each thanked Jeff Cook, who was a town councilman when the pavilion project was started by his son. The elder Cook expressed gratitude for the support of the Town and great pride in what his son accomplished in this project. Councilwoman Chattie Van Wert also thanked the Cook family, citing years of volunteerism and support for so many community events and organizations.

Dr. Mark Moss, Ticonderoga Troop 72 Scoutmaster, marveled at the enormity of MattÕ s project, his perseverance, thrift and environmental awareness in seeing it through.

Matthew thanked the many involved in this 11-month project. To qualify as an Eagle Scout project, he was required to manage the project from conceptual design, including seven months of planning, before construction could begin.

It was his responsibility to obtain permits from the Town of Putnam Planning Board, the Adirondack Park Agency and the Lake George Park Commission, as well as permission from surrounding neighbors and the Boy Scout Council.

He raised funds for the project through a benefit auction, bottle drives, financial donations, material donations and volunteer workers, including fellow Boy Scouts and the Cook family. The actual $10,000 cost would have been $15,000 to $18,000 without discounts and material donations provided by area businesses as well as volunteer labor by businesses, fellow Scouts, family and community members. Approximately 70

people contributed to the projectÕ s completion.

The next day, the pavilion hosted the Court of Honor Ceremony where Matt received his Eagle Scout Award. Ò I charge you to undertake your citizenship with solemn dedication,Ó Dr. Moss read from a citation. Ò Be a leader, but lead only toward the best. Lift up every task you do and every office you hold to the highest level of service to God and to your fellow man. So live and serve that those who know you will be inspired to finer living. We have too many who use their strength and their brains to exploit others and to gain selfish ends. I charge you to be among those who dedicate their skills and ability to the common good.Ó In his Eagle Scout ceremony, Matt thanked the many friends, family and businesses who assisted throughout his Scout career and in this project.

He presented his Mentor Pin to friend and fellow Scout, Roger Sawyer.

Ti seniors present projects as they prepare for graduation

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ One by one, members of the Ticonderoga Class of 2014 stood before a panel that held the fate of their last major academic pursuit in their hands.

It is something that happens every year at the school as students present their senior projects as a final task for their last year as Sentinels. Ò ItÕ s great to see these kids shine every year,Ó said Kim Powers, senior project coordinator. Ò They have worked hard at it all year long and we encourage the students to pick a project they have a passion for so you see a wide array of topics from real academic topics to hobbies they enjoy. To see them excel at this is great.Ó Mark Donohue took from his time as a member of the Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps to give a senior presentation on 18th Century field music. Ò It has been a really rewarding experience,Ó Donohue said. Ò It was a chance to get to learn new things and I found it really rewarding because you get to share the information with tourists and people who come into the fort and now share it as part of my senior project. I get to talk about music and history, which are two things I like.Ó

Ticonderoga High School senior Laura West performs a dance routine as part of her senior project as a panel of community members watches on.

Photo by Keith Lobdell Laura West spoke on the arts of lyrical and traditional ballet, something she has done for the past 12 years.

Ò I always like doing stuff with my sister, and it helped to create a bond between us,Ó West said. Ò I have been dancing since my mom put me into the class at seven.Ó Kaitlin Diskin took from her years in music to research the impact of music on a childÕ s development. Ò It does make a difference,Ó she said. Ò I have always been involved with music and I know that it has had a positive effect on my life.Ó Josh Holman worked hard for his project, but more on the physical end, detailing his journey to lose 65 lbs. in order to pass the Army recruitment tests.

Ò I wanted to let people know how working to be in the Army has changed my life,Ó he said.

Tiffany Purkey also wanted to look at a personal life-changing moment, involving other students in the school as well to look at the effects that divorce had on children. Ò I asked teachers and peers if they knew anyone that would want to be in my project and there were about 15 that we came up with between ages 14- and 18,” Purkey said.

Purkey made a video featuring the students, whose faces were not shown and voices changed, talking about their feelings after the divorce of parents. She reported that 90 percent of the students interviewed said the divorce happened when they were younger than seven, 60 percent said the divorce had a negative impact on them academically, while 80 percent said they did not believe they were the reason for the divorce. Ò I wanted to see how divorce impacted other students in my school,Ó Purkey said. Ò I didnÕ t know who my father was until recently and it had a big impact on me. Meeting him really inspired me to do this project.Ó

Three of four NY-21 candidates attend packed Hague event

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com HAGUE Ñ It was apparent early which candidate had nothing to lose.

Almost 100 people were in attendance at the Hague Meet the Candidates June 11, with Republican candidates and June 24 primary rivals Elise Stefanik and Matt Doheny joined by Green Party Candidate Matt Funiciello, who stated early he was going to keep things light. Ò IÕ m just here to have some fun and get my ideas out to the people,Ó Funiciello said in his opening statement. Ò For me, this isnÕ t about politics because the problem is itÕ s always about politics. We are turning away from self governance and we want to convince ourselves that there is a two-party system which is very unimaginative and also untrue.Ó Doheny and Stefanik also had a chance to make a first impression on the crowd. Ò I want to make the North Country a better place, itÕ s very simple,Ó Doheny said. Ò I have gone door-to-door during this campaign and what I have heard is people have become depressed and have sort-of given up on Washington.Ó “I believe I have seen first-hand how Washington is broken,Ó Stefanik said. Ò Working with my parents in a small business, we felt first hand the economic challenges in this part of New York State. We need a new generation of common sense politicians.Ó Following the opening statements, candidates were questioned on several different topics. Here are their responses to some of those inquiries: • What committee assignments would you seek?: Matt Doheny said he would like to be on committees that dealt with small business, fi-

nancial services, armed services and veterans, citing Fort Drum as, Ò the largest employer in the district.Ó Matt Funiciello joked, Ò I can tell you all kinds of committees I would like to be on, but being a Green Party member they would probably lock my door and keep me out of the big rooms.Ó He went on to say that he would most like to serve on agricultural committees.

Elise Stefanik said she would like to seek committees that reflected the issues in the district, naming agriculture, armed services and budget, saying, Ò the biggest issue my generation is going to face is the debt that we have racked up.Ó • What are your plans to promote economic development?: Matt Funiciello: Ò We need to stop the people who are taking corporate welfare. We need to

look at economic development and a green jobs program.Ó Elise Stefanik: Ò We need to invest in our infrastructure because our roads need help.Ó She also addressed broadband and cell coverage, promoting tourism, fighting against invasive species, opportunities to bring manufacturing jobs to the Adirondacks, lowering tax rates, expanding biomass and enhancing partnerships with Canadian businesses.

Matt Doheny: Ò We need to have the park covered for cell phones. If you donÕ t have that, people are not going to come. There needs to be a public/private partnership with broadband.Ó He also brought up improving area infrastructure.

• Will we ever see you in Hague again?: Elise Stefanik: Ò The model of having congressional offices is not good enough. I will have a

You should not have to drive two hours to see your representative. We need to have more offices and more people on the ground.

Once every two years, we are going to have a town hall meeting in every town in the district.Ó Matt Funiciello: Ò I would love to come and visit Hague again... but do you want me to go to Congress and fight for your issues or do you want me to come to your parades and duck races.Ó On other issues, Doheny and Stefanik were in favor of the Keystone Pipeline and fracking while Funiciello was against. On the other end, Funiciello was for the legalization of marijuana, while Stefanik said she was against and Doheny said he would support medical marijuana if tightly regulated.

All three addressed the need for change for veterans health care. Ò We need to make sure this never happens again and the people who work in government are held accountable,Ó Doheny said. Ò Now, everything is fixed to a clinic and hospital systems and we need to allow for more flexibility.” Ò We have an amazing health care problem in this country and itÕ s why we have a problem in the VA,Ó Funiciello said. Ò We have a horrible health care system in America. What if every soldier was just an American citizen and was able to get coverage at any hospital and by any doctor because he or she had already paid for it.Ó Ò This problem goes into the roots of the bureaucracy,Ó Stefanik said. Ò We need to allow all vets to have access to private hospitals. There should be no bonuses given to our VA workers.

We need to make sure that we provide the support needed for military and veteran families.Ó

about public transportation that matters to me.Ó Hague councilman Steve Ramant helped organize the event with help from local residents and town employees. Ò I think the evening went pretty well,Ó said Ramant. Ò We had a good turnout. I think it was important for the residents of the 21st. It went how I was hoping it was going to go. The candidates were positive and forthright in making people aware of their positions.Ó

Communication is the key

he San Antonio Spurs just showed every basketball fan in America that when a team comes together, they can do something spe-

cial.

The Spurs did not have the marquee name player (that honor went to the Miami Heat and LeBron James, arguably the greatest player of this generation) or an inflated payroll. They had a mixture of players from different backgrounds who came together to make each other better.

On the court, the team worked together. The only way this could have been accomplished is through practice, patience and communication.

On a playing field or court, communication can come in verbal forms, such as calling a play or helping teammates to know their responsibilities, or in physical forms like raising an eyebrow to tell a teammate to cut to the basket or pointing to where the pass will be delivered. No matter what, communication is vital to a successful team.

In the North Country, some teams and schools are facing the stress of declining enrollments equaling a lack in the number of youth needed to play middle and high school sports, especially among the schools in Section VII/Class D, which holds the lowest enrollment numbers in the region. Several schools have already consolidated athletic programs, creating the Minerva/Newcomb Mountaineers and Indian Lake/Long Lake Orange. Others have combined for individual sports, best exemplified by the Emus track and field team, a combination of Elizabethtown-Lewis, Keene, Moriah and Westport.

Of late, we have reported that ELCS and Westport have started to talk about more merged sports programs. This spring, the two schools combined their modified (typically students in grades 7-9) baseball and softball programs, with one team playing games in Elizabethtown and the other in Westport.

Now, the schools are looking to do the same with the modified girls and varsity boys (typically grades 10-12) soccer programs.

Willsboro has just completed its fourth season of not fielding a varsity baseball team. Furthermore it was not even able to field a modified or junior varsity program (which can take students from all eligible grades depending on a physical for younger athletes), signifying what may be the unfortunate end to an entire spring sports program where a once proud ball tradition stood.

This also would not be Westport’s first time down the merged team road for a sport other than track, as they combined with Keene for the two-year boys spring sports era known as Ò Beagle-ball.Ó For these schools or any others looking at the need to merge sports or, letÕ s be honest, even academic reasons, communication is going to be the key.

In Schroon Lake, Athletic Director Lee Silvernail

June 21, 2014

invited the community to a public forum on the future of Wildcat athletics which took place June 17.

Schroon Lake has already been affected. This spring, the school was without a modified baseball program, which meant students in seventh grade who are barred from advancing to the varsity level by the state had no chance to play organized baseball Ñ too young for varsity and too old for little league.

Silvernail is giving the community the chance to shape the future of how they want their sports programs to be handled, whether it be through combined gender teams, merged teams, or only fielding a varsity or modified squad, depending on numbers.

We commend Silvernail and Schroon Lake for taking this initiative. This is the way we hope all school districts approaching this topic would communicate with their parents and students as they head down a very sensitive road, no matter what the outcome of the public hearing and any further planning. If you are a school district or districts looking to merge teams and you are not having similar forums and hearings, we would strongly suggest you do so.

For many of our small town communities, high school sports is something to rally behind. It designates us as Eagles, or Lions, or Eagles, or Blue Bombers, or Eagles, or Warriors, or Eagles (yes, we have noticed thereÕ s four teams locally with the same nickname). All over the area, signs have popped up at the edge of town indicating their school team won the Section VII title or made it to a state championship game. People hold on to these memories made through sports and may see the combining of two teams as cheapening those sacred reflections.

They may also feel bringing two schools together will lessen their childÕ s chance of participating in high school sports since it has been ages since anyone in a Class D school has heard the word Ò cut,Ó without looking at the possibility that a merge could actually lead to an increased opportunity through the addition of a junior varsity program, giving an option of three viable teams instead of two which are somewhere between fledgling and nonexistent.

This is a situation where no matter what a school or schools decide to do, someone is going to be upset that their school nickname is going away or that their kid canÕ t play school sports because there was not enough interest to field a team and no one wanted to merge. In the world of high school sports, this may very well be a no-win situation.

But, one thing can lessen the impact of any and all decisions made and bring communities closer together as they face these new North Country realities, and that is communication. Ñ

Question of the Week: Do you believe there is a drug problem in the North Country?

Ò

Yes, I think there is a drug problem in Clinton County. However, I think our law enforcement is excellent at responding to the situation.

However, the most alarming Ò product of choiceÓ today is meth.

Ñ

Ó

Ò

IÕ m worried about heroin because itÕ s definitely a problem in Vermont, and itÕ s probably been spilling over. Heroin is the one IÕ d be nervous about.

ItÕ s so cheap.

To the Editor, First stone thrown; What a shame that candidates cannot speak to the issues instead of throwing stones. In politics, the press and the mailboxes know who threw first. In 2012 about $2.3 million in shadow (PAC) money was spent against Owens, in favor of Doheny. No candidate can comment on PAC ads (with Crossroads or any super PAC). By law they are to have no influence or input with them whatsoever. Matt could not interact when Crossroads backed him in 2012, just as Elise cannot now. All candidates can do is control their own message.

Matt knows this background and yet he threw the first stone by dispensing three separate attack mailers against Elise, stamped paid for by Doheny. For him to cry foul against her for the PAC ads, then on 6.10.14 ask for a truce and want issue ads only, is somewhat humorous in the face of yet another attack mailer arriving today 6.12.14. You have not and will not see any attack ads with the disclaimer Paid for by Stefanik.

Elise Stefanik has run a campaign on the high road and about the issues while having to respond in defense of misnomers about her.

Like a majority of North Country folks, I am not from here, but I am a proud member of our community. Elise was born 2 hours south of here, started out as a summer girl and is a proud resident today. If we did not welcome people born elsewhere, we wouldn't have our dentist, the majority of our town board, zoning board and planning board. What a shame not to like or vote for a person who is qualified and calls Willsboro home. What a bonus it will be for Willsboro and Essex County when she wins!

Mr. Dohenys false outrage rings a little off key and that is why I will be changing my vote of 2010 and 2012 from Doheny to Elise Stefanik on June 24th..

Living history event this weekend at Fort Ticonderoga TICONDEROGA Ñ Discover the hazards and hopes of American soldiers at Ticonderoga in the summer of 1776 during this exciting living history weekend, Saturday and Sunday, June 21 and 22, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tours, demonstrations, and hands-on family programs will be presented throughout the weekend to immerse guests in a defining moment in AmericaÕ s story. Admission to this event is included in a Fort TiconderogaÕ s general admission ticket. To learn more about the living history event visit fortticonderoga.org or call 585-2821 Highlighted event programs include a lakeside demonstration exploring the use of boats in the summer of 1776 as interpretive staff share the story of the American retreat from Canada and the im-

portance of Lake Champlain as a supply route on the road to independence at Ticonderoga. Guests will also have the chance to help build camp with soldiers of the Fourth Pennsylvania Battalion as they set their tents and build huts to temporarily encamp below the walls of Fort Ticonderoga. Ò Imagine life onboard a boat with merely a knapsack of comforts from home,Ó said Stuart Lilie, Director of Interpretation. Ò During this event guests will explore the workings of the bateau, the workhorse of the Northern Continental Army on the water. Watch as bateaux row around the Ticonderoga peninsula to land below the old French Fort, beginning a long summer of rebuilding the army. Ò This is a miraculous story of how America

Nicholas Borho and his dad enjoyed the St. Mary’s School Carnival.

overcame incredible odds on the road to independence at Ticonderoga,Ó added Lilie. Ò With a smallpox outbreak raging through the Northern Continental Army and morale sinking in the spring of 1776, soldiers rowed by bateaux up Lake Champlain seeking the safety of distance from the advancing British Army. Sick and wanting food supplies, soldiers of the Continental Army lived out of these bateaux for weeks on end, stopping on shore only to cook their rations, soaking wet from lying in the bottom of their boats. By the end of June the Army began to assemble again at Crown Point, only to have smallpox spread even faster. After a council of General officers, General Horatio Gates ordered this long retreat to continue to Ticonderoga.Ó Event Schedule Saturday and Sunday: 9:30 a.m. Fort Opens for Visitation 10:15 a.m. Fort Guided Tour (Beginning at the American Flag): Trace the footsteps of American soldiers in 1776, who converged on the historic French Fort at Ticonderoga to make their stand against a British invasion. Learn how American soldiers put their ingenuity, endurance, and meddle to the test to defend their new nation. Explore on-going preservation efforts that keep their memory alive.

11 a.m. Musket Demonstration (Fort Demonstration Area): Does Hollywood get it right? Imagine what it was like in 1776 to guard earthen walls, keeping a cool head to load, aim, and fire a musket to hold your ground. Make up your own mind about the movies!

11:30 a.m. Breaking Ground: A Tour of the Historic Gardens (Beginning at the American Flag): From Military garrison gardens to a secluded Colonial Revival spectacle of color and light, explore one of the oldest cultivated landscapes in America

and learn about the horticultural history of the Ticonderoga peninsula.

1:15 p.m. Down to the Water Tour (Beginning at the American Flag): With a soldier as your guide, follow a fatigue party down to the site of two massive docks in 1776. Examine the situation and factors that forced the Continental Army in Canada to retreat back to Ticonderoga in 1776. Hear the stories of this retreat by bateau as the boats arrive.

2 p.m. Musket Demonstration (Lower Field): Discuss bush fighting tactics. How do disciplined soldiers fight in the woods without accidentally shooting one another? Discover how fighting in the woods was more than ducking behind rocks and trees.

2:30 p.m. Ò Encamped Just Under the WallsÓ (Lower Field): Help build camp with soldiers of the Fourth Pennsylvania Battalion as they set their tents and build huts to temporarily encamp below the walls of Fort Ticonderoga. Lend a hand, step inside a tent and imagine what army life was really like.

HAGUE Ñ A mecca of local artisans, crafters and talent is set to begin its display in Hague on June 21.

Made In Hague will be a storefront location just north of the Route 9 and Route 8 intersection. The store will feature products, crafts and art created by people living in the community. Ceramics, photography, Adirondack home wares, rustic furniture, rugs and quilts are all things patrons can expect from the new business. Ò The idea behind the store was the building,Ó said Donna Wotton, owner and operator. Ò It is such a prominent location in town. Many of us remember it as a gas station or penny candy store. It has been vacant for too long and we had a feeling it

should be used.Ó The Ò weÓ Wotton is referring to are artisans who will have their work on display in the store. The collective will be staffed and managed by the artists. Ò We feel this will be a great community project,Ó said Wotton. Ò It will bring groups of all ages in town together. We have summer people and year round residents all with a love of the area, the town and the building.Ó It is the hope of those involved in the project to not only display the works of the artisans but to also promote business and commerce throughout the community. Ò We want to be like a working billboard,Ó said Wotton. Ò To push businesses to other businesses in town and to be a promotional tool for all the things we have going on. We hope to be an extension of the friendly nature of the townÕ s people.Ó Made in Hague will be open the weekend of June 21 and 22 as well as June 27, 28 and 29 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Beginning July 3rd the store will have regular summer hours Thursday-Monday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. A grand opening reception is scheduled to be held at 3 p.m. on June 27.

TICONEROGA Ñ Business owners Erin and Mark Wood are celebrating their 15th season as the proprietors of EmeraldÕ s Restaurant, overlooking the rolling landscape tees and greens of the Ticonderoga Country Club. Ò A friend of mine used to have the lease on this business,Ó said Mark. Ò I used to come up here during the summer and help out during college. The lease was up and I was able to sneak in.Ó The business evolved from there.

Open to the public as it always has been EmeraldÕ s has opened their doors on Saturday and Sunday mornings this year with a breakfast expansion in mind. Ò There has always been a market for it (breakfast service), Ò said Mark. Ò There is only so much you can do in one season. Last season was hard. The weather was bad and it was slow. We saw breakfast as a way to increase business.Ó Living in Florida part of the year and Ticonderoga the other half the Wood family makes it a point to employ local help seasonally. Ò We have a staff of about 23 people, all local,Ó said Mark. Ò We have seen our staff go on to be engineers, pharmacists and our dishwasher will be going on to Harvard.Ó Mark and Erin both growing up outside of Albany open their 140 seat establishment May 1 of each year and run the restaurant through the end of October. Annually they host a Lobster Festival and this year kicked off the season with a $15 for 15 days promotion. Ò Our food is fresh,Ó said Erin. Ò You can come here and get

anything from chicken wings to filet mignon and a fully stocked bar.Ó With Mark as the head chef and Erin as the bartender the business is family owned and operated.

This year marks the 18th year the high school art show has taken place in Moriah and the first of many in which the elementary has collaborated with a similar format. Ò Jessica Cannarella (elementary art teacher) was eager to coordinate with our end and really go all out to create a cohesive quality exhibit this time around,Ó said Grinnell.

PORT HENRY Ñ The Town of Moriah Police Department has been very fortunate when it comes to keeping their vehicle fleet up-to-date, and that has also been to the benefit of the town and Moriah Central School District.

Recently, the department purchased the newest member of the fleet, a 2013 Chevrolet Impala, with funding from the Stop DWI program and revenue generated through their efforts. Ò Stop DWI has money they distribute to all of the police departments throughout the county through the Essex County District AttorneyÕ s office,” Chief Steve Stahl said.

Ò We were able to give one of our cars to Moriah Central School, something (Supervisor) Tom (Scozzafava) had the idea to do, which they continue to use as a driverÕ s education car,Ó Stahl said. Ò We turned our Explorer over to the animal control officer

in the town to transport dogs when needed.Ó Stahl said the ability to turn the cars over every four years has been key to helping keep the police department fleet fresh and getting continued use from the vehicles after their service time has ended. Ò The state is not buying as many cars as they were in the past, so we feel very lucky to be where we are,Ó he said.

Currently, the police department’s fleet includes a pair of vehicles: a 2009 Crown Victoria (a model no longer made) with roughly 40,000 miles on its odometer; and the 2013 Impala.

IDA seeks to market Canadian, other businesses to Essex County ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The Essex County Industrial Development Agency (ECIDA) is pleased to announce it is in the process of launching a new marketing initiative to attract new and expanding businesses to Essex County.

The Essex County IDA throughout 2013 has been proactively reaching out to Canadian and additional markets, as well as responding to many business leads. This new initiative will bring those efforts together and tie them into additional proactive outreach.

The Essex County Industrial Development Agency (ECIDA) received a grant from National Grid under their Cooperative Business Recruitment Program. Through Phase 1 of this marketing outreach program to Quebec, Canada, the ECIDA hopes to establish relationships with Canadian Economic Development Professionals and the businesses they represent to increase our economic competitiveness and viability to attract compatible and sustainable businesses to the area and assist existing businesses with reaching new or strengthening market outlets and resources.

Implementation steps will include launching a new ECIDA website targeting Canada, preparing and distributing press releases on the initiative, establishing and expanding the ECIDA Social Media presence, establishing relationships with Canadian Economic Development Professionals, attending events, developing additional marketing materials, clearly identify incentive programs, and continuing to work with the ECIDA New York partners including Chambers and Empire State Development. Ò Targeting the region of Quebec, we will strive to work directly with Canadian partners to establish a connection as to where all parties can assist businesses to increase their opportunities for growth and expansion,Ó said Carol Calabrese Co-Executive Director at the IDA. Ò The potential results of Quebec and New York businesses working together can only increase the economic viability for the region. The ECIDA is very pleased to be partnering with National Grid on this marketing initiative. In addition to providing funding, National GridÕ s Canadian Consultant, Shaun Donnelly gave key direction, advice and guidance on the Canadian Marketing Strategy and approach.Ó The Essex County Industrial Development Agency also plans to continue to develop and establish relationships with our partners including the Quebec Delegate General’s Office, trade associations, chambers of commerce (both in Quebec and the United States that are already working with Quebec), universities and other partner organizations in Canada, which will economically benefit our region.

The outreach process will also include putting together a team from NYS which can provide valuable support for international relations in regards to trade, exporting, tax laws, financing and economic development resources and incentive programs at the appropriate time.

USA Regional Fly Fishing Competition

Who is doing what in the outdoors?

A

cross t h e n a tion, there are a wide variety of outdoor recreational options that remain available for a majority of the year as long as the weather remains fair, the beaches stay open and the rivers continue to flow.

Traditional consumptive activities such as hunting and fishing are regulated by predetermined seasons which are typically based on the biological cycles of the fish and game. Traditional, nonconsumptive activities such as birding and wildlife watching are also dependent on the season, which are also based on mating cycles and migratory patterns.

The variety of outdoor recreational options remain as diverse as the vast national landscape, and while seasonal disparities often effect the availability of such pursuits as skiing, hunting, fishing, and a host of water-based activities; there are usually enough options to keep outdoor enthusiasts busy whether in the field, forest or on the water.

The most recent Outdoor Foundation Outdoor Participation Report, which was released in 2013 indicates that nearly half of the US population regularly took advantage of the outdoors during the previous year.

Although the overall participation rates remained roughly the same as previous industry reports, the number of participants involved in outdoor recreation activities proved to be the largest percentage ever recorded in the history of the report with nearly 142 million people getting out to enjoy the outdoors annually.

In the Adirondack region, where winter sports rule, there are an abundance of non-winter sports as well. Traditional consumptive pursuits such as hunting and fishing are complimented by non-consumptive activities birdwatching, paddlesports, mountain biking, trail running and more.

The list of available activities is seemingly endless, and adventurers continue to develop new and exciting outdoor opportunities, at almost every turn.

In 2012, American travelers took full advantage of the diversity and accessibility of our national infrastructure. In fact, nearly half, about 49.4 percent of all Americans reported they participated in some form of outdoor recreation last year. That equates to 141.9 million Americans.

The study reveals that while participation among children and young adults remained steady, participation among adolescents dropped.

Overall participation by this demographic group was dragged down by dramatically low participation among adolescent girls. This demographic group has steadily declined over the past ten years, which I expect has something to do with the burgeoning electronic entertainment that is omnipresent online and cellular.

Outdoor participation rates declined among adolescent girls. With just over half of adolescent girls participating in outdoor recreation. The participation rate was the lowest recorded since the report began in 2006.

Although the overall percentage of outdoor participants remains about the same as it was in 2011, the total number of participants grew by about 800,000, due to population growth.

Although over 13 million Americans began participating in outdoor activities during 2012, another 12 million stopped, resulting in a net gain of only one million total outdoor participants.

The number of total outdoor outings increased, reaching an all-time high, as Americans participated in over 12.4 billion outdoor excursions which signals a significant increase from the 11.5 billion excursions reported in the previous study.

Possibly the fastest growing outdoor pursuit was Adventure Racing which experienced the highest rate of growth over the five year period.

Adventure Racing may be responsible for a notable increase in the overall outdoor participation rate among adolescent boys ages 13 to 17 which has added three-percentage points in the past two years.

The study reveals that for youth who do not participate in outdoor recreation as young adults, the lack of time is a bigger barrier than a lack of interest.

The report also concluded that Introducing outdoor recreation and physical activities to youth early in life has a lasting effect, and the earlier the better.

Among adults who are currently regular outdoor participants, 75 percent had physical education and 42 percent enjoyed outdoor activities in elementary school.

rene may have torn up Essex County roads and some of the rivers, but even after all the flooding and destruction, the West Branch of the Ausable is still a haven for fly fishing. The floodplains and wetlands, along with the rock and boulder habitat are still home to stream bugs and trout.

Those same attributes saved the river from destruction, protecting the banks and allowing the waters to rise and recede naturally. The upper river is still wild and free!

A few weeks ago, the USA North Regional Fly Fishing Team was competing in Wilmington and Lake Placid. The top fly fishing competitors of this event move on, with the potential to compete nationally and internationally on the USA team against other countries like Czechoslovakia. This little known competition brings in the best from across the country.

By Rich Redman I was privileged to work with guys from Montana, Virginia, Philadelphia and a fellow from Toronto Canada.

The 24 fly fishing guys and gals in the event, each had a controller assigned to them.

Working as a controller, my job was to make sure the guys followed all the rules of the event.

My duty list included checking the leader length; dropper flies, no split shot rule, keeping them within the beat, maintaining start and end times, and measuring each fish caught to the nearest centimeter, which was then recorded and the slip turned in at the end of each morning and afternoon sessions.

The event was broken down into 4 sections, fly fishing from a boat on Mirror Lake, fly fishing the lake from shore, and two different river sections. Each section had 6 beats, or areas marked out that the fisherman was to work in. Flagging was placed along the stream, and marked so the folks knew the upper and lower ends of each 100 yard beat.

The 24 fly fishing guys and gals had to fish a beat in each section once, for a 3 hour period.

Rotating allowed each person to fish each section over the two day event. In the end, they each fished from a boat, from the shore and two different stream sections. This allowed them to bring out their expertise in the different fly fishing waters.

Expertise is an understatement. Being a stream guy, I requested to work the stream sections.

For two days I watched the best fly flickers there are. Using 10 foot, 3 weight nymph rods, with 20 foot maximum leaders, and dropper flies, these guys slinked over and around boulders, through deep holes and fished every potential hot spot for trout over each 3 hour period. Every fish that was caught was brought to the controller, measured, species recorded, and then released. As Lee Wulff once said, “Game fish are too valuable to only be caught once”.

I was privileged to work with 4 great guys who taught me well. They shared their expertise, and every once in a while I could chime in with a thought or two about fishing the beat.

My first morning beat was with Kim Rood of Toronto, Canada. Loop fly fishing equipment was his sponsor, supplying equipment and enabling him to get to this event. Kim was used to fishing limestone calm waters and looked up at me once and said after falling in and getting soaked in the cold boulder and deep scour cut hole, Òt his is uglyÓ. The boulder pocket water of the Ausable, with holes, pockets, cuts and channels was new to this fisherman. However, he stayed on fishing with the endurance of an Olympic athlete, never giving in. He fished with the intensity and concentration of a surgeon, knifing his way through the vital pockets looking for fish.

The afternoon beat was with Andy Szofran of Red Lodge Montana. Andy used a 10 foot rod, with an older Berkley Òc lickerÓ reel. By the afternoon, the waters had warmed up a few degrees and the bugs were starting to come off the water. Caddis and a few mayflies were hatching and the action picked up. Andy caught his first one, a 15 inch Brown Trout on a squirrel tail nymph, which is now stuck on my fishing hat, a trophy from the day. Every fisherman loves a hot nymph! Slinging nymphs and side stepping slimy boulders was the prescription of the day.

Day twoÕ s, morning beat, was with Sean Crocker of the Philly PA area. The morning round started at 8:00 am. Sean caught his first RAINBOW at 8:04am. Not a bad start. Sean used a red and yellow sighter to help see strikes. By 9:05 the black flies were starting to come out, but there were only a few. I would personally find out a few days later, they would be insane!

The afternoon session took me to another section. This beat was down steam of the Whiteface Ski area. This time I was with Robert Humston of Virginia, He spells and pronounces his name ÒR oe BearÓ due to his motherÕ s French heritage. After chatting a while, I discovered he grew up a few miles from where I did, in Western NY. (Out there we would call him BOB) Roe Bear is a fisheries biologist so we got to talk science nerd stuff and conservation, it was good. Robert was the Stealth Warrior of the bunch. He had his own style and was something to see him maneuver around the boulders and pockets. He was slow and methodical, I nick named him the ÒS tealth WarriorÓ! Roe Bear placed 4th at the end of the event.

Each one of these guys is a great fisherman, some did better than others, but much of the time it was the time of day, water temperature, and the beat you were on. Some beats were better than others, and it didn’t matter who you were, the fishing was poorer. Many of the guys slipped and fell, got wet and kept on going. One fellow fell 5 times during the first session, but he was into fish and it didn’t matter. Some got skunked, it happens. I called it, “ 3 hours of humbling hellÓ. E ven the best have reality checks once in a while.

When it was all over, the top four guys were; 1st place ÐH unter Enloe 2nd place – Cam Chioffi 3rd place - Michael Bradley 4th place - Robert ÒR oeBearÓ H umston, my western NY buddy!

At times during the event I realized that I can do much of what these guys did, I slip and fall once in a while, stumble on the slippery rocks, lose flies in rocks and brush, and get that lost in the head light look while staring into a fly box, contemplating what to throw out next. The only difference is that they catch more fish than I usually do. That’s why they are competitive fishing, and I am watching!

I got to learn a few of the tricks of the trade, see slinkyÕ s and strickers being used in different ways, and see how each guy has his own style. For me, it was a learning experience that I am grateful for. My fishing hat is full of bead head nymphs as souvenirs, and I got to meet some great people.

Wilmington and Lake Placid are now imbedded in these guys fly fishing souls, they love it here. Some will be back, and I hope to meet some of them in their home turf. Who could resist a trip to Canada, Virginia, Pennsylvania and especially Montana? Looks like I may have a road trip to plan out next year for some Rocky Mountain fly fishing!

Maybe Denton Publications will cover my trip; IÕ ll write articles and take photos of the trip for you! Fly fishing marketing along with the fishing itself is now in my blood. Maybe I can find some fly fishing company to sponsor me. Now that would be cool!

The local sponsor for this event was Evan and Caitlin Bottcher of ÒT HE HUNGRY TROUTÓ in Wilmington NY, along with UMPQUA, Sage, Smith Optics and the Loon Outdoors Company.

The West Branch of the Ausable is a jewel, and like a diamond, our area glitters and shines during these events. This was the second fly fishing tournament this spring in Lake Placid and Wilmington. The towns and local businesses have done a great job supporting these events and we need to support them county wide.

The Ausable River is known nationally as a great Fly Fishing Trout Stream, and I am happy to be part of it, market it and promote it!

While youÕ re out cruising around the county enjoying life, support the local business in Wilmington, The Hungry Trout, the Two Fly Shop, along with local motels and food joints.

SUP, which is short for or stand up paddleboardingalso enjoyed the highest percentage rate of first time participants with over 56 percent of participants trying it for the first time.

Overall percentages for Most popular top five outdoor pursuits based on participation rate for Americans ages 6+ include: 1. Running, Jogging and Trail Running 19 percent of Americans, 53.2 million participants 2. Freshwater, Saltwater and Fly Fishing with 16 percent of Americans, 46.0 million participants 3. Road Biking, Mountain Biking and BMX with 15 percent of Americans, 42.3 million participants 4. Car, Backyard and RV Camping with 13 percent of Americans, 38.0 million participants 5. Hiking with 12 percent of Americans, 34.5 million participants Most importantly for the Adirondack regional economy is a recent report which details annual expenditures according to their dedicated outdoor pursuits. According to the report, the list of activities accounts for annual spending directly related to the activities.

1. Camping: $143 Billion 2. Water Sports: $86 Billion 3. Bicycling: $81 Billion 4. Trail Sports: $81 Billion 5. Off-Roading: $66 Billion 6. Snow Sports: $53 Billion 7. Motorcycling: $43 Billion 8. Fishing: $35 Billion 9. Wildlife Viewing: $33 Billion 10. Hunting: $23 Billion What does the report indicate for the Adirondack region in terms of future economic development opportunities? It appears to illustrate that the region is on track to attract a new breed of outdoor travelers if the recent demographics are considered.

It should be obvious to most that local trailheads are now busier than ever, as are the regionÕ s lakes and rivers. With upcoming national races and rallies ranging from the Ironman USA event in Lake Placid to the annual Americade Motorcycle Rally in Lake George, the Adirondack region is a well established destination with a long history for accommodating traditional outdoor pursuits and current day adventures.

The region is ideally suited to accommodate nine out of the top ten most financially significant outdoor pursuits, with only limited resources dedicated to motorized Ô off -roadingÕ , due to restrictions inherent in the Ô Forever WildÕ amendment which prohibits motorized use 0n most Forest Preserve lands.

The regionÕ s renowned winter sports resources are considered to be world class, as evidenced by regular World Cups events, and the burgeoning interest in backcountry skiing.

The region has a solid reputation among enthusiasts of the top four pursuits on the list due to a century old tradition for accommodating campers and water sports enthusiasts, especially paddlers.

Currently, the North Country is particularly well situated to take advantage of a growing interest in mountain biking. Trail networks for mountain bikers have been expanded in many communities and the trend is likely to enhanced if the Rails to Trails effort is ever peacefully resolved.

It was an abundance of fish, fur, feathers and forests that historically stoked the regionÕ s economy by drawing anglers and artists, birders and photographers, hunters and anglers, climbers and campers to the Adirondack region; and the Adirondack region remains one of the very few destinations capable of accommodating all 0f the top ten most popular outdoor activities in a single location.

Adirondack Distance Festival adds charity effort to events ‘Racing for Good’ to aid local groups

SCHROON LAKE Ñ Runners in this fallÕ s Adirondack Distance Festival will have an opportunity to help local charities while saving money for themselves. Ò Racing for GoodÓ will be a part of this fallÕ s event. The program gives runners free entry into a race if they raise money for charity. Runners can register for the program online at http://www.crowdrise.com/AdirondackMarathon2014 Runners who raise at least $399 for a local organization will have their race registration fee returned. Ò The goal of Ô Racing for GoodÕ is to raise enough funds to make a big impact on organizations that serve individuals and families who face catastrophic circumstances,Ó Joel Friedman, Adirondack Distance Festival director, said.

Runners from more than 30 states and 11 countries came to Schroon Lake for the 17th annual Adirondack Distance Festival in 2013. The event attracted 1,289 athletes from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Slovakia, United Kingdom and United States, according to Friedman.

The Adirondack Distance Festival includes a full marathon, a marathon relay, a half marathon, 10-kilometer race, 5-kilometer race and childrenÕ s race.

The 2014 marathon, marathon relay and half marathon will be contested Sunday, Sept. 28, with the other events Saturday, Sept. 27. Ò Racing for GoodÓ will assist several local organizations, Friedman said, including: Ñ local volunteer ambulance services; Ñ the Adirondack Community Action Programs (ACAP), which provides programs that help individuals and families including after school programs, aging services, child care, employment and training, Head Start/Early Head Start and weatherization; Ñ The Helpers Fund, which assists individuals and families facing catastrophic circumstances in their lives; Ñ the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, which provides food to local food pantries and organizations. The School BackPack Program in partnership with the food bank is designed to meet the needs of hungry children with nutritious food over the weekends during the school year; Ñ the American Cancer Society; and Ñ a scholarship fund for college-bound seniors in the Schroon Lake and North Warren school districts.

The Adirondack Distance Festival weekend also features

a race expo and packet pick at Schroon Lake Central School, a talk by Runner Õ s World senior editor Jeff Dengate and a pasta dinner at Word of Life Inn in Schroon Lake.

Ryan McTague of Schenectady won the 2013 menÕ s marathon in 2 hours, 47 minutes, 37 seconds. Kristin Hunt of Roanoke, Va., won the womenÕ s race in 3:22:34.

There were 296 finishers in the marathon.

The marathon, 26 miles, 385 yards, circumnavigates Schroon Lake over challenging forest roads with lake side views until it finishes back at the Schroon town beach. The marathon course is a Boston qualifier, USATF certified course and is billed as “probably the most beautiful 26 miles and 385 yards you will ever run.Ó The marathoners have company over the second half of the course as half marathoners toe the starting line in Adirondack and race to the finish in Schroon Lake 13.1 miles later.

Robert Bragoli of Chatham, N.J., led men to the finish in the 2013 half marathon, finishing in 1:20:29. Janne Rand of Lake Placid was the top woman in 1:31:10.

There were 463 finishers in the half marathon.

Readers of Ò Competitor.comÓ have named the half marathon along Schroon Lake as the best in the Northeast.

Michael West of Warrensburg set the pace last year in the 10-kilometer run, winning in 41:52. Christine Tokarz of Melrose was the leading woman in 46:52.

There were 71 finishers in the 10K. Solomon Kariuki of Granby, Mass., won the 5-kilometer in 17:50. Acadia Dinardo of Underhill, Vt., won the womenÕ s title in 20:05.

There were 186 finishers in the 5K. For information on the marathon, half marathon and relays go online at www.adirondackmarathon.org.

The season for the Moriah Viking fifth and sixth grade travelling AAU Basketball team which kicked off Feb. 15 at the IABBO Tournament in Peru came to a close on June 8 at the Maple Syrup Classic in Burlington, Vt. On the season the Vikings posted a 17-2 record in the five tournaments they entered. The two losses were by a combined six points and to powerhouse statewide AAU programs from Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Players included Michael Rollins, Braden Swan, Jeffrey Strieble, Luke Smith, Logan VanBuren, and Maddox Blaise. Team mangers were Rowan Swan, Quincy Swan, and Riley Rollins. Head Coach Jason Strieble was assisted by Wes Rollins and Bart Swan. A big thanks goes out to all the parents of team members and all of the Tournament organizers and volunteers for their time and effort this season.
