ALPACA VISIT

Moriah residents want things picked up

4TH OF JULY

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

MORIAH CORNERS Ñ Beauty may only be skin deep, but it does make a first impression.

Appearance was the hot topic at the first Moriah public information meeting held by the town board at the Moriah Firehouse June 19 and attended by almost 40 residents. Ò Are there any plans for the improvement of the appearance of the town,Ó resident George Pilger asked. Ò The upsetting thing someone said to me once was why is the main part of town such a mess.Ó Ò There are eyesores when you come into town,Ó Geirgianna Scott said. Ò ItÕ s concerning to see so many people disregard codes.Ó Ò I think that it is important that as many people as possible speak to the issue of the appearance of the town,Ó Diane Lashway said. Ò Now, you donÕ t see the pride. You see so many abandoned properties, and it is such a sad site in the community.Ó Barbara Baker said concerns over community aesthetics was nothing new. Ò ItÕ s not the owners who live in Port Henry,Ó Baker said. Ò It is concerning because the village is the first impression people get.” Ò This is the number one issue on our mind as well,Ó supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò We have condemned places and have had places torn down. The legal system for things like this is super expensive and lengthy.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

French and Spanish level 4 and 5 advanced language students participated in a cultural workshop on the Peruvian and Bolivian Alpaca history recently at the Chilson Brook Alpaca Farm, attending a conference sponsored by Alpaca owner and developer Lynne Reale. She presented a lecture on the origin of Alpaca farming and breeding by the Inca peoples of South America and the exports of Alpacas to the United States.

Students had the opportunity to enter the pasture and feed some of the adult and juvenile Alpacas. Alpaca fleece is five times warmer than wool and much softer. It comes in 22 different shades. Alpacas survived the introduction of sheep to South American during the Spanish colonization when many indigenous tribes fled with their Alpacas to the high Andes to avoid enslavement by the Spanish. Alpaca fiber was called “fiber of the Gods.” The Chilson Brook farm sends its fleece to a cooperative that produces items from the raw fiber. Students in attendance included Kristen Diskin, Shelby Spaulding, Martin Glazer, Anthony Dushane, Cassie Adams, Taylor Dorsett, Michael Graney, Kaleigh Malaney, Sara Plude, Andrea Russell, Katherine Towne, Lillith Ida, Lucy La Peter, Tyler Morse, Marcus Moser, Dale Quesnel, Cody Shaner and Tia Stark.

Montcalm Mile anticipates record field for annual sprint Prize money to be awarded in July 4 Ti race

TICONDEROGA Ñ More than 300 competitors are expected to race the 28th annual Montcalm Mile in Ticonderoga.

The race had a record field of more than 250 runners a year ago, making it the single-largest participation event in the community.

Athletes are now registering for the annual road race, which will feature prize money and computer chip scoring for the first time in 2014.

The race will be held Friday, July 4, at 1:45 p.m., just prior to the TiconderogaÕ s annual Best Fourth in the North parade.

To facilitate the new scoring system, runners are asked to register for the race online at www.active.com/ticonderoga-ny/ running/distance-running-races/montcalm-mile-2014 Entry fee is $15 for the elite race, $10 for adults in the recre-

ational race and $5 for children age 18 and younger in the recreational race.

Limited race day registration starts at 12:30 p.m. at Wicker Ford. For entry information contact Fred Herbst at 13 Lindbergh Landing, Ticonderoga 12883 or by Email at fherbst@ nycap.rr.com. Race information can also be found online at the LaChute Road Runners Club website Ñ www.lachute.us and at www.best4thinthenorth.com/ With a menÕ s course record of 3 minutes, 54 seconds, the Montcalm Mile is believed to be the fastest mile anywhere in New York and Vermont, outside New York City. Ò The Montcalm Mile has become the premier athletic contest in the North Country,Ó Herbst, race director, said. Ò Having attracted record fields each of the past five years, we expect more than 300 runners in 2014. Ò Our goal is make the race one of the most competitive events in the North Country while remaining a fun, family-friendly race,Ó he said.

To accomplish that goal the Montcalm Mile will feature two divisions Ñ elite for men who run a sub-6-minute mile and women who run sub-7 along with a recreational division for other runners.

The elite division will offer $2,300 in prize money. The menÕ s and women’s winners will receive $500, second place $300, third $200, fourth $100 and fifth $50.

The Montcalm Mile course records are 3 minutes, 54 seconds set by Lee Berube in the menÕ s race and 4:41 set by Dana Bush in the womenÕ s race.

ItÕ s a downhill course that virtually assures runners of personal bests and attracts most of the regionÕ s top athletes. Also attracting runners is the fact the race is run minutes prior to TiconderogaÕ s annual Fourth of July parade, which means hundreds of

Walk in the marching steps of newly formed Continental soldiers at Fort Ticonderoga in 1776 as historic interpreters demonstrate weapons of independence and explain the daily military duties of soldiers garrisoning the Fort. Explore family programs that highlight the fight for independence and listen to patriotic performances by Fort TiconderogaÕ s Fifes and Drums.

Come celebrate freedom by exploring one of the greatest triumphs of 1776 as you discover the stories of the men who helped transform America by overcoming tremendous odds to build the American Northern Army in the fight for liberty. Be in the moment as America began to take shape at Fort Ticonderoga.

Admission to this special holiday living history weekend, July 4-6, is included in a Fort TiconderogaÕ s general admission ticket. To learn more about the event visit fortticonderoga.org/

learn/re-enactors/independence_day or call 585-2821.

Meet the soldiers of the Northern Department of the Continental Army and their hive of military preparations at Ticonderoga in 1776 throughout the weekend. See artificers in action in the shoe makerÕ s and tailorÕ s shops busily working to resupply soldiers with clothing, shoes, and equipment. Discover how these soldiers prepare their cannons, ammunition, and themselves to meet the British army. See rations cooked, logs hewn, and the FortÕ s 1776 restoration in action. Ò 1776 was a year of rebuilding the Northern Army as part of building a new nation,Ó said Stuart Lilie, Fort TiconderogaÕ s Director of Interpretation. Ò While the Continental Congress discussed the finer points of declaring independence in Philadelphia, the shattered remnants of the Continental Army which had come so close to capturing Quebec trickled back down to Fort Ticonderoga. Frost bitten, starving, and decimated by smallpox these soldiers began

building up bulwarks and America’s first navy to defend their new nation. A new Continental Army emerged reinforced by soldiers from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire and New York, to guard Fort Ticonderoga.Ó While the declaration itself was signed July 4, news of the document and the patriotic sentiment it carried would not reach the Northern Army at Fort Ticonderoga until July 28. The new fortifications of Rattlesnake Hill were christened Mount Defiance to mark the occasion of the first reading of the Declaration to these soldiers.

Recognized as the top destination in the Adirondacks by USA News Travel, Fort Ticonderoga connects all guests to a place and time that defined a continent, a nation, and its continued legacy.

Ti middle school students take a road trip north to Quebec TICONDEROGA Ñ Eighth grade students in Kari TrudeauÕ s French classes from Ticonderoga Middle School took a trip to Montreal, Canada on Saturday, June 14.

Twenty-two students and 10 adults spent the day in Montreal. Visiting the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the students took the time to admire the architecture and all of the details of the cathedral, stating that they could spend hours inside the cathedral.

The students also walked around Old Montreal, Chinatown, and the waterfront of the St. Lawrence River with their chaperones. They shopped for souvenirs, had lunch, and snacks, and tried out their French skills by holding conversations with shopkeepers or restaurant staff. Throughout the day, students commented on how nice the people of Montreal were and said that they would love to go back to Montreal. On the return to class Monday, the classes looked at pictures from the trip and the students shared their experiences with those students who did not participate in the trip.

The Ti Middle School French classes

have taken trips to Montreal for 13 out of the last 16 years. This trip has been part of the eighth grade French curriculum since the early 2000s. The students earn their place on the trip by helping raise enough money to pay for their transportation. For fundraisers, the students have sponsored open gyms, as well as run coffee fundraisers, candy fundraisers, and done car washes/bake sales. The students must participate in the fundraising to earn their seat. Many years the students have to pay out of pocket to make up the difference to pay for the bus. This year, the students earned enough money to pay for the bus completely and also receive $14 to put towards the admission to Notre-Dame and lunch.

The trip to Montreal is possible because of the studentsÕ efforts in fundraising and the teacher and parent chaperones. The chaperones volunteer to spend a Saturday with a group of eighth grade students in another country, supporting the French program. Trudeau and her students appreciate the time given by The Ticonderoga Middle School French students and three out of the 10 chaperones pose for a picture in Montreal. the chaperones.

WiFi in the Adirondacks?

C

anada recently decided to install WiFi at 20 locations in its national parks system, according to Time Magazine.

If the experiment is successful, a total of 75 hotspots might be installed over the next few years. The decision has turned out to be somewhat controversial and it would be shortsighted to think a similar debate will not emerge in the Adirondacks. Ò What weÕ re trying to do is have it around the spots where people can write a digital postcard home, where they could in the morning pick up and take their digital subscription and read the newspaper when theyÕ re around the campground,Ó Director of Visitor Experience with Parks Canada Andrew Campbell told CTV News, adding that internet would only be made available at visitor centers and campgrounds. Ò Those sorts of things are what people have been asking us for, and so weÕ re trying to provide that to our visitors.Ó But many see the installation of Wi-Fi as a threat to an authentic wilderness experience.

“No sooner have you seen your first Canadian black bear or mountain peaks reflected in the perfect stillness of Lake Louise, then someoneÕ s phone will go off,Ó Sophie Campbell told the Telegraph in a representative comment. Ò Or maybe Wi-Fi will only be accessible in the campsites, where happy childrenÕ s faces will be lit not by the glow of a campfire but by the glow of Grand Theft Auto 5. Here’s to modern wilderness: tweet, tweet!Ó Speaking to CBC, Farley Mowat, a Canadian author and environmentalist, was perhaps more hyperbolic. Ò My thoughts can be expressed quite simply. I think it is a disastrous, quite stupid, idiotic concept, and should be eliminated immediately,Ó Mowat said. Ò I have very strong feelings that national parks, provincial parks, any kind of parks, that are theoretically set up to provide for the protection of nature, in some form or another, should be respected absolutely and ultimately and human beings should be kept out of them as much as possible.Ó At the risk of coming across as the callous Once-ler who chopped down the Truffula trees in Dr. SeussÕ 1971 ecological parable The Lorax, we believe these concerns, while well inten-

tioned, are misplaced. First, to address Sophie CampbellÕ s chief point, we think that how outdoor enthusiasts employ Wi-Fi in the outdoors is really of no concern to us, so long as they donÕ t disturb wildlife, the ecosystem, or other human visitors. Second, to address MowatÕ s overarching point, we believe that, while it might happen less than we might like in practice, outdoor enthusiasts can exist in nature without disturbing wildlife and the ecosystem.

We also believe that if done with great care, the equipment needed to support hotspots could be installed without harming or intruding on these either.

Kathy Daley, a camping enthusiast from Winnipeg, who spoke to CBC, offered what we see as the most sensible position. Ò I think the idea of Wi-Fi in the national parks is great,Ó Daley said. Ò I think if itÕ s available to people who want it fantastic and if you donÕ t want to partake just donÕ t bring your phone.Ó We believe Wi-Fi access in Canadian national parks and eventually remote sections of the Adirondack wilderness would have practical benefits for outdoor enthusiasts, not the least of which being safety advantages. Imagine, say, a hiker was injured on the trail in an area where there was no cell-phone coverage.

With Wi-Fi, help from a forest ranger could be acquired with a quick email to the proper authorities. In fact, we would support a plan for Wi-Fi in the Adirondack Park that goes further than that currently slated in CanadaÕ s national parks. The arguments in favor of internet access at visitor centers and campgrounds, especially the safety arguments, apply to more remote sections of the wilderness as well, if not more so.

We believe that itÕ s only a matter of time before wireless-internet access is made available everywhere in the world, including the Adirondack Park. Opposing this inevitability is, like it or not, similar to opposing an incoming tide.

And as far as weÕ re concerned, so long as the installation and use of Wi-Fi does not disturb wildlife, the ecosystem, and other outdoor enthusiasts Ñ which we believe is theoretically possible Ñ itÕ s something to be welcomed. ÑD

Elise Stefanik wins NY-21 GOP primary

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Elise Stefanik has handily defeated Matt Doheny in securing the Republican nomination to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) in the race for New YorkÕ s 21st Congressional District.

If elected in November, she will be the youngest woman in history to be elected to the U.S. Congress. She is 29 years old.

Once returns started coming in shortly after polls closed Tuesday night at 9 p.m. Ñ data from polling places was zipped off to each county, verified by officials and uploaded onto their respective websites Ñ Doheny, an investment banker from Watertown, never regained his footing.

Stefanik took an early lead over Doheny as returns from Fulton County started coming in at roughly a 2-to-1 clip.

St. Lawrence, Lewis, Essex, Clinton, Hamilton, Warren Ñ even Jefferson, DohenyÕ s home county Ñ all went to Stefanik.

By 10:30 p.m, with 47 percent of precincts reporting, Stefanik led Doheny 60 to 40 percent, topping her opponent in each of the 12 counties constituting the district.

Doheny called Stefanik to concede at 10:33 p.m as AP results showed Stefanik with 11,019, or 60 percent, to DohenyÕ s 7,339. Locally Stefanik bested Doheny 1,428 to 676 in Clinton County; 1,144 to 502 in Essex County; 794 to 311 in Franklin County; 309 to 239 in Hamilton County; 1,872 to 933 in Warren County and 1,745 to 1,056 in Saratoga County.

At about 11 p.m., Stefanik basked in adulation from her supporters gathered at the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls. Ò You believed from the very begin-

ning, that we deserve a representative in Washington with new ideas, fresh energy, and an independent approach in order to shake up a failed Washington,Ó she said to the 120-or-so citizens at her election-night party. Ò We now have an opportunity to unite Republicans and Conservatives, which gives us the best chance to win back this seat in November.Ó The candidate also thanked Doheny for bringing new solutions to the table, while promising to Ò build bridgesÓ to unite Republicans after a contentious Primary battle.

Queensbury Supervisor-at-Large Mark Westcott, who was Congressman Chris GibsonÕ s campaign manager several years ago, unofficially worked on Stefanik’s campaign, which included making about 2,500 phone calls on her behalf, he said.

Westcott added he was surprised by the wide margin of victory. Ò ItÕ s clear that people are looking for an optimistic, enthusiastic, positive candidate with fresh ideas,Ó he said. Ò I believe she represents the Ô new vanguardÕ of Republican politics Ñ sheÕ ll bring women and young people back into the party.Ó Essex County G.O.P Chairman Ron Jackson also praised StefanikÕ s approach and her grasp of the issues. Ò It was clear from the beginning that Elise was our dream candidate Ñ she has a squeaky-clean resume, sheÕ s an excellent speaker and a hard worker,Ó he said. Ó She ran a clean, positive campaign and the voters were receptive to it.Ó Despite a surge of last-minute endorsements Ñ including from Assemblywoman Janet Duprey, State Senator Joseph Griffo and dueling endorsements from the Glens Falls Post-Star and the Watertown Daily Times (Senator Betty Little abstained) Ñ Doheny failed to gain momentum in his

fourth attempt to land the seat. Ò Karl Rove had a good night,Ó he said during his concession speech, referring to the former Bush operative whose super PAC, American Crossroads, poured money into the race as it reached its final hurdles. Ò ItÕ s just the reality,Ó he said.

Stefanik started the morning at dawn, encouraging prison personnel to vote during a shift change at Dannemora, according to a post on Twitter.

Later, under a steady drizzle, she cast her ballot at the Willsboro Visitors Center in her adopted hometown in Essex County shortly after polls opened at noon. Ò I feel good about where we are in the race,Ó she told the Valley News before entering a Chevrolet Suburban that ferried her southward to meetings in Ballston Spa, Greenwich, Queensbury and her election night headquarters at the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls.

Doheny voted at the Emma Flower Taylor Fire Station in Watertown before his party at the Savory Downtown in Watertown.

That afternoon, campaign spokesman David Catalfamo sounded weary when reached by phone. Ò WeÕ re working away,Ó he said. Ò You gotta be optimistic. We feel like voters have embraced Matt and theyÕ ve rejected the negative campaigning of Elise Stefanik.Ó Catalfamo said a telephone hall on Monday had buoyed the campaignÕ s spirits: Almost 400 people wanted to call back, indicative of the enthusiasm coming in at the last days of the campaign, he said.

Letters to the Editor

Tax sale debacle To the Times of Ti: I have been a resident of Essex county all my life. An auction should speak for itself. The sale goes to the highest bidder. George Moore in good faith bought a piece of property in a previous tax sale.

When the new tax sale was announced, George traveled to look at the properties being offered for sale. George attended the next tax sale as he had done before. He had the highest bid for the property under consideration. There was no notice about sales not being final.

The right thing to do would be stand by your obligation to be fair with your taxpayers. George should be sold the property as any tax auction normally insures. In case this goes to court and appeals, the Town of North Hudson should be paying all Court Costs. This is not an Essex County expense. It is a North Hudson Expense.

Flag etiquette To the Times of Ti: I recently attended a funeral of a World War II Navy Veteran, before lowering him into the ground I turned around and noticed that the flag at the Alexandria Avenue Catholic Cemetery was not at half mast.

The United States of America would not be what it is today without our veterans starting with the ones from the revolutionary war. I think it appropriate and respectful for any veteran being laid to rest in any Ticonderoga Cemetery to have the cemetery’s flag at half mast. God Bless America.

Five Nations brings miniature golfing back to Ticonderoga

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The fairways go up and down, sweeping across the landscape and provided a challenge to the most tried golfer.

In short, itÕ s almost like playing on the real course.

Mini golf has returned to Ticonderoga at the Five Nations Golf Center, located next door to the Ticonderoga Country Club and run by Ticonderoga varsity golf coach Jay Wells. Ò We are really excited about this, and it has really come together well,Ó Wells said. Ò The aim is to provide some entertainment for the entire family.Ó Wells opened the driving range at Five Nations one year ago and always had thoughts of expanding to include the miniature golf course and other offerings. Ò We didnÕ t want to go with the big windmills and clown mouths,Ó Wells said. Ò We wanted a course that was historical and reflected the area where we live.Ó Each of the 18 holes on the course are named after a historic aspect or area attraction, like the

Ò Eye of the Needle,Ó on Lake George represented on the 10th hole; RogerÕ s Rock on the 13th. Ò All of the holes are historically or geographically named,Ó Wells said. Ò We gave the designers an idea of what we wanted, and they went to work.Ó The culminating hole on the course - the 18th - has a sweet treat waiting for anyone who can get the golf ball to go Ò homeÓ in one shot. Ò The Wind Chill is sponsoring the 18th hole, and people will receive a free ice cream for a hole-in-one,Ó Wells said.

Along with mini golf and driving range, Five Nations will host private parties and birthday events. They also have a nighttime, glow golf chipping course for groups of 20 or more.

There are also golf clinics and childrenÕ s programs available. Ò We are really looking to make this a happening place,Ó Wells said. Ò We will be open from 1 until 10:30 p.m. for July and August with plenty to offer for youth and the entire family.Ó For more information or to book a party or event, call Five Nations Golf at 586-6838, visit the website fivenationsgolf.com or search Five Nations Golf on Facebook.

Numbers drop leads to Wildcat athletic program concerns

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ The Schroon Lake Wildcats are looking for ways to deal with a thinning pack.

A school that had 142 students enrolled in grades 7-12 as recently as 2011-12 is facing three straight years of declining numbers, preparing to be as low as an enrollment of 88 in 2015-16 and 89 the following school year.

Lower numbers lead to fewer students to field middle and high school athletic teams, and Schroon Lake Athletic Director Lee Silvernail along with Superintendent Bonnie Finnerty held an open forum on the topic June 17. Ò We want to develop a plan to provide sustainable options, whatever they may look like,Ó Silvernail said. Ò I feel passionately about coming up with solutions so we can continue to have a sports program here at Schroon Lake.Ó Finnerty said the issue is not one her school is facing alone. Ò Not only are we seeing more and more schools merge in the area, it is also leading to fewer and fewer teams to play against,Ó she said. Ò This is a topic that is going to continue to come up. We want to field full teams for soccer in the fall. The other sports are important, but the fall season is imminent.Ó Silvernail showed projections of the number of expected student athletes over the next three years, which showed a lack of proper numbers for modified and varsity boys soccer, girls soccer, baseball, softball and golf. In varsity baseball, where nine are required to field a team, Silvernail estimated they would have six players in 2015-16, followed by between four and five the following season. Ò Not only are these numbers based on who has signed up and who is coming up, in some cases these numbers represent the entire male or female population for a class,Ó Finnerty said. Ò We have a combination of factors driving this.

We have not had modified baseball in four years and we only have two boys in seventh grade.Ó Silvernail said a range of options have been discussed, from merging with other schools to field teams to league-wide discussions on changing the landscape of local sports, removing sports that require more numbers like soc-

cer and baseball and replacing them with more individual sports such as cross country and track. Ò We have nothing lined up right now,Ó Silvernail said. “I thought it was an important first step to have this meeting with the community and lay out what is going on and where we stand as a program.Ó Keene Central School Athletic Director Matthew Mills, who lives in the Schroon area, said these are discussions that need to take place in a lot of the smaller Class D schools, most of whom are found in the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference. Ò The discussion needs to shift to what we can do to provide these students with the chance to participate in sports,Ó Mills said. Ò There needs to be more conversations with the teams who are close by about this. I would be concerned that if we start to introduce individual sports, the team sports would be out the window and we would not get them back.Ó

Finnerty said the school has had preliminary conversations with Mountainside Christian Academy about a potential merger, but there were issues. Ò They are a private school and are not a member of the MVAC or Section VII,Ó Finnerty said. Ò The school coming in, even if they were merging with us, would still have to pay the section and league fees.Ó Finnerty also said the school cannot legally allow home school students to be part of school teams.

Reaction

Sixth grader Marcus Peace said he is looking forward to playing modified soccer in the fall and hopes there will be a team.

“I definitely want to play soccer,” he said. “I would still practice if we did not have a team, but I enjoy playing and want to play for my school.Ó

Ò The biggest concern is that they would not be able to field a team,” Marcus’ mother, Cathy, said. Ò The kids who want the opportunity to play should be given it and we have to figure out how.Ó Seventh grader Harrison Gereau played modified soccer and was a member of a basketball team that played most of the season with only five players. He was unable to play baseball because New York State does not allow seventh graders to try out for varsity. Ò I love playing sports and I want to play every one they have here,Ó Gereau said. Ò In the spring, I helped out with the softball teams from biddy to varsity. We need to have the players.Ó Eighth grader Emily Maisonville has been a member of the soccer and basketball teams. She said next season, she plans to play softball in order to make sure the team has enough players. Ò If we have the numbers and can scrape to make a team, I think it would be best to keep things as they are,Ó EmilyÕ s brother, junior Joseph Maisonville, said.

The forum included a survey which was handed out to all in attendance to fill out.

Finnerty said the results would be discussed, along with options for the coming season, during the June 26 school board meeting.

Numbers crunch Schroon Lake’s declining 7-12 population

This weekend, Schroon Lake Central School will bid farewell to 29 seniors graduating from the institution. They will be replaced by only 14 incoming seventh graders, a deficit of 15 kids in the pool of those eligible to play for modified and varsity sports teams. There will be an estimated total of 103 students in grades 7-12.

In 2015, the school will graduate 22 students while the incoming seventh graders will number in the single digits - seven (four girls, three boys) - another gap of 15. There will be an estimated total of 88 students in grades 7-12.

In 2016, 19 seniors are expected to graduate, being replaced by 11 incoming seventh graders, a difference of eight to the negative.

There will be an estimated total of 89 students in grades 7-12.

North Hudson residents speak out as Frontier Town sale enters the courtroom

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON Ñ Legal teams moved their metaphorical chess pieces into place over the battle for Frontier TownÕ s future June 13 when William Russell, an attorney for Keeseville-based businessman George Moore, filed suit against Essex County and the town of North Hudson in an attempt to annul the Board of SupervisorÕ s decision to reject MooreÕ s bid to purchase the former theme park at a tax auction earlier this year.

While county and town officials were tightlipped over the pending litigation, a development that is expected to stall transfer of the property until at least August when the case sees a preliminary hearing in State Supreme Court, residents of North Hudson have started to come forward in support of Town Supervisor Ronald MooreÕ s decision to acquire the property, an effort that he has argued will bolster the townÕ s sagging economic prospects.

‘Our history’

Dan Snyder, a local resident who works across a variety of creative mediums, called the A-Frame, the landmark structure anchoring the property that George Moore acquired at a former tax sale, an important part of Adirondack history and tied its potential renewal to a larger symbolic movement sweeping the region. Ò North Hudson is a classic example of a town dying,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s a classic example of whatÕ s happening throughout the Adirondacks.Ó Snyder said it was hard for him to view George MooreÕ s intentions as sincere when it came to his purchase of what remained of the wild west theme park, a popular regional destination that was shuttered in the late-1990s, and his stated intention to use the parcels as a springboard for economic renewal.

Example A, said Snyder, was the A-Frame. Ò Eight years ago, it was in a lot better shape than it is now,Ó he said. Ò Mr. Moore bought it and put it up for sale, and the property has remained that way ever since. He hasnÕ t done anything with it, nothing.Ó Snyder said under the townÕ s stewardship, the now-disputed acreage would have a better chance of being utilized to jumpstart the town, 90 percent of which is constituted by stateowned land that eternally hamstrings development.

The North Hudson leader has told constituents and his colleagues at the board of supervi-

sors that he hopes to revamp the land as a node for increased outdoor recreation, the opportunities of which are predicted to multiply with the anticipation of the addition of the Boreas tract to the stateÕ s holdings in the near future.

On Wednesday, June 18, the DEC released a draft management plan for the Essex Chain Lakes Management Complex and the connector trail plan that would link Newcomb, Minerva and North Hudson, including a bridge to be built at the outlet of Palmer Pond.

The public has until July 18 to chime in with their thoughts. Ò At itÕ s peak, Frontier Town not only contributed thousand upon thousands in tax revenue, but provided jobs to countless teens and adults, not only in North Hudson, but surrounding communities in Schroon Lake and Moriah,Ó Ronald Moore told the Valley News in an interview on Monday. Ò IÕ m not saying we will ever get back to that level of employment, but whatever we get to is better than nothing.Ó Moore said up until last year, the town gave up hoping that an opportunity would present itself that would allow them to dig themselves out of the hole. Ò But it did,Ó he said. Ò I think the private sector had their chance and failed us miserably. We should at least try to do something to improve our chances for business growth and economic recovery. I believe we can do better, and thatÕ s why I have asked for the opportunity to try through this acquisition.Ó George Moore said he would have developed the property sooner but was prohibited from doing so because he did not own all of the parcels that constituted the once-unified park.

Snyder said that while he understands the other side of the argument Ñ that the countyÕ s decision to award the property to the government despite a private citizen offering a higher price undermines free market principles Ñ he said that George Moore, who is 87 and lives in Keeseville, has simply dropped the ball. Ò HeÕ s squashing us, the rest of the town,Ó Snyder said. Ò WeÕ re losing a lot more money Ñ we’re losing our history. It’s a significant property that has cultural value, and heÕ s let that go to the point that itÕ s got to be condemned.

This town is going to die unless something happens.Ó Doreen Ossenkop, co-owner of the Adirondack Buffalo Company, a farm located down Blue Ridge Road from the disputed property, expressed similar sentiments.

Moriah Chamber offices host vintage photo exhibits

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ A look into the past of the Town of Moriah will be on display throughout the summer at the Moriah Chamber of Commerce offices.

Currently, the display has pictures showing the mining history of the town, matted onto posters and enlarged to give some perspective on the old mines, according to chamber president Tim Bryant. Ò We have another 100 photos that we can group together into this theme,Ó Bryant said. Ò This will run for a month, and then we will swap these photos out for another theme that deals with Moriah and Port Henry.Ó Bryant said other themes will include life on the lake, life in the different hamlets that make up the current town boundaries, historic buildings and more. Ò We wanted to have something where people can come in and look at them during one visit, then come back later and see something fresh,Ó Bryant said. Ò We also wanted to crePhotos line the walls of the Moriah Chamber of Commerce offices, part of a new set of exhibits that will run ate a display that was just as much for the throughout the summer. locals and people who live here as the tourPhoto by Keith Lobdell ists. These displays give them a chance to

Moriah Continued from page 1 Scozzafava said the town enforces the state regulations when it comes to code enforcement over the laws currently on the town books. Ò Our local laws for junk yards and junk cars are so antiquated. They are a joke,Ó he said. Ò We work to enforce the state codes.Ó Scozzafava also agreed with Baker that a major issue is landowners who do not live in the town. Ò A big problem is absentee landowners in Witherbee and Port Henry,Ó he said. Ò I am going to say that 80 percent of the people work hard to keep their properties up. We are going to get very aggressive about this.Ó The town will be sending out notifications to property owners they feel are in violation of codes asking them to conform. Ò We have some properties targeted in Min-

eville and we are going to try and work with them to get those properties cleaned up,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò It does go to the larger issues of values,Ó said councilman Thomas Anderson. Ò I see the need for a grass-roots effort of people coming out and having this discussion. It becomes more concerning when you are cleaning up and finding things like hypodermic needles.Ó Ò There really is nothing new here,Ó councilman Tim Garrison said. Ò The way we are going to solve this stuff is if we all decide to do this together. We want to go from being reactive on this matter to being proactive.Ó Scozzafava said that while they will work on enforcing the state codes, he did not see zoning as an option to help. Ò When you talk about zoning, you are talking about commercial and residential areas,Ó he said. Ò I do not think the town is laid out that way. I believe the state laws accomplish what

we want to accomplish.Ó Codes are currently enforced by a town officer who works a 20-hour per week part time shift. Ò There is a lot that he does, and there are a lot of violations that he writes,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò If we hear from the people, it is a position they want to see increased for hours or by adding another positions, then we will look at it.Ó Ò There is no way a 20-hour per week code enforcement officer could handle 180 complaints in his time,Ó councilman Paul Salerno said. Ò You have to be consistent and do all of the violations. ItÕ s not fair if we do something to one person and do nothing to the person four blocks down the road.Ó Council member Lucy Carpenter said officials and residents should realize this, along with other issues, are a work in progress that were neither created or would be solved over night.

reminisce.Ó Bryant added the chamber is looking for anyone who has a story that may accompany any of the pictures being used, which were mostly supplied through the book, Ò Moriah and Port Henry in the Adirondacks.Ó Ò We want to learn and create the biographies so there are great stories to go along with the pictures,Ó he said. Ò It was great getting this together because we had students from the school helping to frame and put labels on the pictures, and they would see the streets they lived on or the houses where their friends live and how they all looked back then.Ó The exhibit will be open Thursdays through Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m. Ò These are set hours, and they coincide with the Iron Center Museum,Ó Bryant said. Ò This will allow visitors to attend both if they wish as well as the new craft gallery. If we have more summer volunteers, weÕ ll extend the hours and post them on our website and Facebook page.Ó For more, information, call the Moriah Chamber of Commerce at 250-1050, visit the website porthenrymoriah.com or the Facebook page: Moriah-Chamber-of-Commerce.

“This is a first step, and we need to take this a step at a time and work together,Ó Carpenter said.

Tim Bryant, president of the Moriah Chamber of Commerce, said things have been put in place to start the beautification process. Ò We have the PH7 Committee who has planted trees and worked in the village,Ó Bryant said. Ò There are some positive things being done, and there are people returning to the storefronts, so I do not want people to think it is all bad.Ó Ò Instead of seeing the bad in everything, why canÕ t we give people a compliment on the things they are doing right,Ó Tina LaVigne said. Ò We need to work together a little bit more on these issues.Ó Scozzafava said the town will host another public forum to specifically address the topic at a later date and encourage residents to attend the next town board meeting Tuesday, July 10.

CP First Congregational to celebrate strawberries, autos

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Through its first decade, the Strawberry Festival of the First Congregational Church of Crown Point has continued to grow.

For the third year, the festival, which takes place Sunday, June 29, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the town park, will feature a car show with an assist from Champlain Valley Classic Cars. Ò The classic cars group has been awesome to us and has been a great addition to the event,Ó Pastor David Hirtle said. Ò Tom Neddo had a vision of this, to bring another group of people into the mix to help bring more out to the family friendly event.Ó Hirtle has been at the church for eight of the

first nine festivals and has watched as the day has grown. Ò The goal 10 years ago was to do something so the community would see that the church was still here, alive and well,Ó Hirtle said. Ò The first five or six years, we did not make any money from the event, which was fine because that was never the goal.Ó Since, as the festival grew and did turn into a source of funds for the church, Hirtle said the money has been used for various projects.

“We finished re-roofing the chapel and have re-painted the pillars,Ó Hirtle said. Ò The proceeds have been used to support our historic buildings as well as provide funds for our outreach programs like fuel, food and heating assistance.Ó This festival includes the Ò famousÓ strawber-

ry shortcakes (made with local berries), strawberry ice cream sundaes (ice cream provided by StewartÕ s), burgers, hotdogs and sausage (meat provide by Mc Kenzies Classic Meats), Pepsi products and onions, peppers and PeggyÕ s famous michigan sauce.

There will be raffles throughout the program with items donated by local businesses including a barbecue from Crown Point Bar-B-Que Sauce.

Headlining the stage show will be Loose Connections as well as Nancy!. CPTELCO will provide WiFi throughout the park during the event.

The Champlain Valley Classic Cars will bring up to 50 classic vehicles as eye-candy, and there will be vendors along with the Ò Jump For JoyÓ bounce house.

As a part of the Strawberry Festival, the Crown Point United Methodist Church will have a Cookie Walk. For $5 fill a box with an assortment of home-made cookies.

Hirtle said the church, which has 35 members, has been active in the community with several events and a thrift shop. Ò We have helped to organize and participated in a Thanksgiving Dinner for those in the community who would not have adequate food to mark the holiday,Ó Hirtle said. Ò We also run and staff Second Blessings thrift shop here in Crown Point. This outreach is provided on a donation basis only. Items in our shop are given, even without a donation to those in need.Ó Those with questions regarding this yearÕ s festival or those who would like to be a vendor at the festival should contact Gary at 216-4031.

Crown Point Central School students locked in for good cause CROWN POINT Ñ Local students spent the night recently locked in their school.

SADD, Students Against Destructive Decisions, is a group run by students and teachers whose aim has been to prevent students from making destructive decisions. The organization has hosted an event known as a Ò lock-inÓ each year, which keeps students at the school overnight from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning.

This yearÕ s lock-in included an extensive range of activities that included a bounce house that students used to race each other, jousting, a dance with DJ Mark Potter, a movie and video games in the library.

Throughout the night, teachers and representatives spoke to the students as a group about the dangers of destructive driving.

For years to come, Students against Destructive Decisions in Crown Point will continue to reach out to students and educate them on the dangers of destructive decisions.

SADD would like to thank these sponsors of the 2014 lock in: Essex County Stop DWI, Walmart, Stewarts Holiday Match, ELKS Ticonderoga Lodge 1494, DebroÕ s on the Way CafŽ , Bran-

nock Properties, Champlains Best Wash, Gunnison Orchards, Rite Aid, Dunkin Donuts.

They also thank the chaperones who donated their time to make this event possible.

Come in and see these adorable little guys as soon as possible. These bouncing, furry bundles of joy deserve to spend their kitten-hood in a forever home with lots of toys and attention that we just canÕ t give them at the shelter. No matter what shape, size, color or purr-sonality you are looking for, we probably have a kitten who is exactly the match for you! If you need more smiles and giggles in your life, look no further than one of these cute little sweeties.

Our featured pet this week is Beagle-mix Clark, who has been featured before and who is also mentioned on our Facebook page. Although Clark is an older fellow, you would never know it from his personality. He loves to go for walks and bounces and jumps for joy when he sees you. Clark seems to like other dogs and is a very quiet Beagle. He only barks when itÕ s

Frontier Town Continued from page 11 “The first thing you see is a dilapidated structure and weeds in the building,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s a bad advertisement for the community and does nothing good for the town.Ó Ossenkop called the AFrame an Ò albatross around the townÕ s neckÓ and expressed wishes for a business that would generate revenue for the community. Newcomers, she said, would help the folks that are already here. Ò I believe if the town got the property, they would do something with it,Ó she said. Ò They would make sure that any business that comes in would help the town. A real businessman wouldnÕ t let it go downhill Ñ no good businessman would let anything

they own fall apart.Ó

‘The start of something good’

Dave Tart, a retired chemistry teacher, has hunted in North Hudson since 1958 and has been a full-time resident for 14 years. Ò This used to be a thriving place,Ó he said. Ò It started downhill when I got here.Ó Tart said the recent purchase of the gas station by a Schroon Lake operator is Ò the start of something goodÓ and hopes it will act as a catalyst. Ò But the other buildings are all in pretty bad shape,Ó he said. Ò People who are buying through these tax sales with the hopes of making a lot of money.

Putnam Schoolhouse Museum to host series PUTNAM Ñ The Putnam Schoolhouse Historical Museum has announced that the museum will host a music and culture series this summer.

The first event of the series will be a concert of traditional American and British folk music by Vermont musicians Viveka Fox and Peter MacFarlane. The couple are part of several local folk groups, most especially, the renowned group Ò Atlantic Crossing.Ó The concert will take place at 7 p.m. on Monday, July 7.

On Sunday, Aug. 3, at 3 p.m., the museum will host a home-movie on a once-popular farm crop in the Champlain Valley and in Putnam, Ò Trefoil, From Seed to Harvest.Ó The program will be hosted and narrated by the Rev. Irv Cummings, curator of the museum, who grew up on a trefoil farm in Putnam.

On Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. the museum will host noted local cellist Brian Donat in a program of classical music especially chosen for the occasion.

All events will take place in the Schoolhouse Museum, 365 County Route 2 (Lower Road) next door to the Putnam United Presbyterian Church and all will be free of charge.

apart Ñ just look at what heÕ s trying to sell it for.Ó A website maintained by Glebus Realty lists the AFrame property at 49.6 acres with a sales price at $549,000, down from $685,000.

Tart said towns have the right to shape development in their communities. Ò We donÕ t really having zoning laws here,Ó he said. Ò If thereÕ s something bad, the town has the right to do something about it.Ó Ang Nolan, who also lives in North Hudson, supports the businessman because she thinks he would be in a better position to clean up the property than the town should the situation present itself. Ò WhoÕ s going to clean up the asbestos if they find it in there?Ó she asked. Ò George has the equipment to do it.

And I donÕ t want my taxes to

go up, either.Ó Tart said that while the county should have acted sooner in ensuring the property did not fall into decay, that does not negate their legal right to reject the bid, the lynchpin that both sides are using as the basis of their legal cases. Ò There has to be a distinction between government use versus speculation,Ó said Russell, citing North HudsonÕ s proposed agreement to kick one-third of the sales proceedings over $60,000 to the county. Ò North Hudson is using it for speculation.Ó Ò IÕ ve heard so many complaints over the years,Ó Ossenkop said. Ò This town is dying. We need to provide viable businesses so these kids donÕ t have any choice but to move away. We have to do whatever to make sure there are jobs.Ó

Hebert finishes 18th in final high school race

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Jay Hebert can now officially call himself a college athlete.

The Ticonderoga track and field standout and winner of six NYSPHSAA state championships in the 110-meter hurdles finished the high school chapter of his career with an 18th place finish in the New Balance Outdoor Nationals Saturday, June 14, in Greensboro, N.C. Ò We had a great time down there,Ó Hebert said. Ò I was able to get a workout in at the facility on Friday and I ran better then I did last year but not as good as states,” Hebert said of his 14.31-second run. “I felt fine down there and it really was a great event and fun time.Ó After a strong senior year where he won his fifth and sixth state championships in the 110 hurdles, Hebert plans to relax for a couple of weeks before preparing for his next career as a member of the Harvard University track and field team. Ò I will take a couple weeks off before coach (Walter) Thorne and I start working out again after the Fourth of July,Ó Hebert said. Ò Coach Thorne has talked to the Harvard coach and he told us to just keep doing what we do and he told coach to send me there in shape and ready to go, so that is the plan.Ó Hebert, who scored the NYSPHSAA Division II and Federation championships three weeks ago, said he still hasnÕ t fully grasped everything he was able to do as a Sentinel. Ò The championships and everything I was able to accomplish means so much and it still hasnÕ t fully set in,Ó he said. Ò I am proud of where the road has taken me and what the school has allowed me to do as a student and athlete.Ó Hebert said he is looking forward to the college experience. Ò I think I want to go in and see where I fall within the team,Ó he said. Ò I am looking forward to getting there and getting comfortable with all the aspects of college life.Ó Along with excelling on the track, Hebert’s final duty as a member of the Ticonderoga High School Class of 2014 will be an academic one, delivering the valedictory address Saturday, June 28, at the schoolÕ s commencement ceremonies.

Jay Hebert finished 18th at the New Balance Outdoor Track and Field Nationals in the 110-meter hurdles.
