Fort Ti flexes its economic muscle

TICONDEROGA

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ There are almost nine million reasons this region should love Fort Ticonderoga.

At a special press conference July 1, President and CEO Beth Hill announced the historic site brings in almost $9 million annually in economic impact, factoring in visitor spending from tourists; spending by Fort Ticonderoga in its daily operations; the indirect and induced impacts created by labor income as it flows into the regional economy; and tax revenue generated by that spending.

“This report quantifies what we already know to be true,Ó said Hill. Ò Fort TiconderogaÕ s iconic story and mission of education and preservation translate into real and substantial economic impact confirming Fort TiconderogaÕ s place in the present and more importantly, in the regionÕ s economic future. Fort Ticonderoga is a major statewide and regional asset with major plans for the years ahead. If the trends continue, we anticipate a larger impact in the future.Ó Ò This is a very proud day in the annals of the hallowed ground where we stand,Ó Chairman of the Fort Ticonderoga Board of Trustees Sandy Morehouse said. Ò We are an economic engine for the entire region. Ours is a name that is internationally recognized and we attract specialists from across the globe, sharing with them the best we have to offer as a fort and as a community.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

The first is that the businessman, who is 87 and still barks out orders from his headquarters in a modest office building in Keeseville, walks with a limp and wonÕ t undergo surgery to repair his knee. Ò It wouldnÕ t be a good investment,Ó he said.

The second is the World War II monument he bankrolled in the center of this village just south of Plattsburgh.

we could look at the current budget deficit and try to bridge that gap, but that would be absolutely untenable to our students.Ó Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally asked if all applicants were accepted to the schoolÕ s nursing program. Ò ThereÕ s an overall shortage of nurses in Essex County,Ó he said. Ò ThereÕ s like a 20 percent acceptance rate from [Adirondack Community College and SUNY Adirondack] and I was just wondering if you get the enrollment up and get the people to come from Adirondack to get them to come to Essex County and try to expand our nursing program.Ó Ò ThereÕ s a huge wait list,Ó said Tyrell. Ò WeÕ re limited in clinical sites. We can’t fit any more through the door — it’s an untenable situation. CanÕ t have a group of 10 people with eight patients on the floor. It really has a lot to do with regulations.”

Essex County must cough up the cash for each resident that opts to attend community college outside of the county.

That number amounted to about $597,000 last year, Treasurer Michael Diskin told lawmakers last month.

Revenue assumptions show that NCCC anticipates collecting $363,000 this year from out-of-state tuition, a 7.4 percent decrease from last year.

Essex County approves North Country Community budget pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ North Country Community College received passing marks from Essex County on Monday, July 7 when lawmakers approved the institutionÕ s 2014-15 annual budget.

NCCC requested an additional $50,000 from Franklin and Essex counties, or $1,190,000 each alongside $50,000 for a capital improvement fund, for the budget, the first increase in five years.

While the total budget decreased 1.4 percent from last year to $14.3 million, tuition will jump five percent next semester, from $4,050 to $4,250.

Finance Committee Chairman Tom Scozzafava asked NCCC President Dr. Steven Tyrell if the school was trying to bridge the funding gap by raising tuition. Ò WeÕ re staying competitive with our peers,Ó he said, stating the trend of declining enrollment across the state above Westchester County. Ò Fundamentally, no one wants to increase costs for the students,Ó he said. Ò We are very sensitive about that. If we werenÕ t,

In an interview, Scozzafava said he would like to see the charge backs decline and called for more recruitment efforts within the countyÕ s school districts. Ò Community colleges should support the community,Ó he said.

Scozzafava said he would also support an increase in funding for vocational training. Ò You have to be more vocationally-inclined,Ó he said. People will tell you they can’t find skilled, blue-collar workers — plumbing and heating, electricians and mechanics. Those trades will be around to the end of the millennium.Ó NCCCÕ s budget includes an $125,000 increase in marketing and outreach efforts, nearly double over last year.

FRANKLIN UNDECIDED Both counties have to approve the budget. Franklin County legislators were rattled by the proposed increase at a meeting last week, citing financial uncertainty within their own ranks.

Tyrell said the conversation was productive. Ò New board members just need more information on how the process works,Ó he said.

Two galleries combine for benefit of ‘Ti Arts’ community

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Two community galleries are coming together to expand the arts.

The Ti Arts gallery at Hancock House and Downtown Gallery will now be under the umbrella of Ticonderoga Arts. The two galleries will now be known as Ti Arts @ Hancock House and Ti Arts @ Downtown Gallery.

Ò We are bringing both galleries into the same system,Ó said Jerry Cooper, board member from the Hancock House. Ò We have combined into an eight-member board, which will expand to nine and include three general community members, three Hancock House members and three Downtown Gallery members.Ó Ò I think it is a great thing for the community,Ó said Marriann Rapple, manager of the Downtown Gallery. Ò Galleries have struggled

throughout the area, and to have two galleries in a small town is phenomenal. This merger makes us stronger. We are both different, but now we can work together to pull from the same resources and people.Ó Current board members include Cooper as chair, Joan Pulling as vice-chair/acting secretary, Stella Dwyer as treasurer, Nancy Carter as communications director, Casey Skahan, Lynn Reale, Edie Ostrowsky and Tonya Whitford Condon.

The initial conversations on bringing the two galleries together started about one year ago but got moving in full force over the winter. Ò We decided this is what we needed to do,Ó Cooper said. Ò We were able to have some committees start up to work out all the different aspects from the business end.Ó Ò Now, we will be able to work together toward getting some real grant funding,Ó Rapple said.

The partnership will also help from a man-

power perspective. Ò Working together with Ti Arts will help us with staffing,” Rapple said. “This whole summer is full of activities, and July is a very busy month itself, so we will be able to help each other.Ó Ò We are all working on creations for the Street Fest through the upcoming Art-athlon through both galleries,Ó Cooper said.

Both Ti Arts volunteer-run galleries are open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.

Ti Arts @ Downtown Gallery is open throughout the year at 119 Montcalm Street.

Ti Arts @ Hancock House is open from June through mid-December in the lower level of the Hancock House.

Man drowns in Lake George after fishing boat capsizes

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

HAGUE Ñ Late afternoon Friday, July 4, divers from area law enforcement agencies recovered the body of William A. Scott, 59, missing since his boat capsized three days earlier in Lake George.

Scott, a resident of Westerlo, NY, was located 72 feet under the surface of the lake, close to where the boat in which he was fishing had taken on water and overturned north of Hague Beach on the morning of July 1.

Divers of the Warren County and Saratoga County sheriffsÕ departments located ScottÕ s body using an unmanned aquatic vehicle and side-scan sonar.

ScottÕ s body was transported by boat to Dockside Landing Marina in Hague where fishing partners and friends George Boss and Thomas Greene watched from a small pier overlooking the same waters they had unexpectedly plunged into four days prior. Boss, 75, is from West Kingston, R.I. and Greene, 70, is from Derby, Conn.

Boss, Greene and Scott had been trolling the waters of Lake George July 1 when their lines were snagged on a submerged object or an underwater outcropping. As a result, their 17-foot fishing craft lurched — propelling its bow in the air — and the craft took on water. Scott jumped into the lake after grabbing a personal flotation device. Authorities said he may not have had time to put it on properly.

Greene and Boss held onto the boat, and strong wind caused Scott to become separated from the craft.

Greene and Boss kept in voice contact with Scott for about 10 minutes, police said. Greene and Boss were pulled from the water not long after the incident, but Scott had disappeared.

The search was initially called off for July 4, but members of the rescue teams decided to continue their search on the holiday despite sporadic rain and stiff wind that continued into Friday, they said.

Early afternoon Thursday July 3, members of the Warren County Scuba and Marine Rescue team take a break Thursday from searching the waters of Lake George near Hague Beach for William A. Scott who drifted away from a capsized fishing boat two days earlier. On July 4, Scott was recovered 72 feet under the lake’s surface by divers, aided by side-scan sonar and an unmanned aquatic vehicle.

Family holds dawn-to-dusk shoreline vigil

The recovery occurred after many hours spent by ScottÕ s wife Colleen and other family members watching and waiting on the shores of Lake George at the Hague town park. They had held a dawn-to-dusk vigil at the town beach, talking with divers each time they came ashore. Boss and Greene were with them much of the time.

Wednesday, Colleen Scott talked about her husband, his character, and his fishing trips.

“George and Bill have been fishing for eight or nine years,” Scott said. Ò Once every year they come up to the North Point (Hague). I just keep thinking Ô Bill, you loved it so much, now come on.Õ Ó Scott sobbed, and tears flowed from her eyes.

“Tuesday night I would get these five minutes of sleep at a time and I swear I could just hear Bill saying, Ô IÕ m right here, just stay with me, just hold on.Õ Ó

Colleen Scott spoke about William Scott as a husband, grandfather and friend.

“About four years ago he bought a ‘67 Chevy Nova,” Colleen said. “It was Canary Yellow. That first year we had it, we went up to the car show at Howe Caverns and Bill won a prize in the top 25 Ñ boy, if you could have seen that smile!Ó In 2013, William Scott became a grandfather for the first time when his grandson Hunter was born. Ò Hunter just loves him Ñ he runs around all the time yelling Ô Pop, Pop, Pop,Ó Colleen Scott said. Ò HeÕ s here now,Ó she said, pointing to the blonde-haired boy napping in a stroller under the shade of a park tree.

Scott spoke of the friendship between Boss and her husband Ñ and how on Saturday the two men had caught a lake trout and broiled it for dinner the night before the boat capsized. Ò At the campground we stay at seasonally, the men have started taking fishing hooks and wearing them on their hats,” Colleen Scott said. Ò Bill found a big one and he painted it gold; he put it in a DickÕ s Sporting Goods box and left it around for George Ñ Bill gave him that hook for being the captain of the boat.Ó Colleen Scott gazed over the waters of Lake George. Ò This morning, George gave it to my son.Ó Following the recovery of ScottÕ s body on Friday, members of the Scott, Greene and Boss families embraced each other, as well as members of the Hague Volunteer Fire Co. and Hague Emergency Medical Services, who attended to their duties loading ScottÕ s body into an ambulance.

A subsequent autopsy indicated that ScottÕ s death was due to drowning.

Save your community: Volunteer

A

lack of volunteers threatens the future of many annual summer events in the North Country.

For events happening from late May to early September, a lack of volunteers can turn a day of fun into a faded memory.

Here are some examples around the North Country.

First: The Labor Day Celebration in Au Sable Forks. Before, the event lasted for two days. On the first day, the grounds would be crowded with both guests and volunteers. An array of games and food booths were available along with a huge bingo game in the gym, a chicken barbecue, pie roulette, dunking booth and a bounce house. On the second day, the same events would happen, along with a parade in the morning.

Today, the gathering lasts for just a day, and after the closing of Holy Name School and St. Matthews Church, the town struggles to keep its tradition going. Now, the parade runs on the first day. All of the food and game booths remain, but many of the dedicated volunteers that ran them are no longer there. People who had been running the same booths for years have either died or have become too old to help. The few people who remain struggle to recruit new volunteers.

Second: Ò Champ DayÓ in Port Henry and Moriah. Before, it was a day to recognize the folklore surrounding the alleged Lake Champlain creature Champ, and pay tribute to the more than 300 documented sightings of the creature. Ò Champ DayÓ took place on the first Sunday of August. The event included sidewalk sales, street vendors, entertainment, childrenÕ s games and pony rides, among other things.

Today, “Champ Day” has been officially discontinued after 31 years. The event ended for multiple reasons, including the recession and the Champlain Bridge closure for two years. Because of this, the town decided to put Ò Champ DayÓ on hold until the economy righted itself. The economy has been recovering, but Ò Champ DayÓ has yet to be reinstated, mainly because of a lack of volunteers.

Third: The Rouses Point Fourth of July Celebration. Before, the event lasted for a week and was known to be one of the biggest parties in the country. The festive week, founded by

July 12, 2014

George Ducharme 54 years ago, once included a carnival and huge parade that contained 15 to 20 bands and brought in people from all around the country and Canada to see and participate in the fun it had to offer.

Today, the week-long event has been condensed to three days. The carnival no longer comes to town because itÕ s too expensive.

Many of the games and food booths remain, but the annual get-together struggles to stay alive because of a lack of volunteers. A committee works diligently to keep the celebration intact, but those offering their services to help have become fewer and fewer.

Fourth: Rulfs OrchardÕ s Strawberry Festival. Before, the Strawberry Festival was a one day celebration that celebrated strawberries becoming ripe for the picking. The festival includes strawberry picking, a strawberry shortcake eating competition, a strawberry rhubarb pie baking competition, a number of different vendors, games and fun strawberry themed food for both children and adults.

Today, the Strawberry Festival remains successful after three years. Most of the events are the same. ThereÕ s been a few changes in terms of vendors, but, besides that, the orchard keeps the tradition they started three years ago.

How is Rulfs able to continue and even grow its popular festival? The answer is quite simple Ñ they donÕ t rely on volunteers, they pay the individuals who help make the event happen.

There is nothing wrong with that, but these people are not volunteers. And, the simple fact of the matter is that many events around the North Country cannot afford to take on a paid staff.

What it really boils down to is a matter of civic pride and civic duty. These events are not only a source of summertime enjoyment, they also are economic engines that fill our main streets with people looking to spend money.

People that oftentimes fall in love with the area and return to spend money or purchase homes here.

So, there is a much bigger picture here when it comes to volunteerism. It is an integral part of the fabric of our communities. Without it, they may also become just a faded memory Ñ going the way of so many celebrations, festivities and events throughout the region. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

WiFi in the Adirondacks?

To the Times of Ti: I donÕ t want to appear that IÕ m deliberately trying to hog your Letters to the Editor feature, but I can speak both as a 50-year Adirondack trout fisherman, and as a website creator with 14 years of experience with WiFi in the Adirondacks.

I live in California and go trout fishing in the Adirondacks every year. I want and expect quiet and solitude in a rustic Adirondack setting where I can Ò get away from it allÓ and enjoy the pleasures of trout and steelhead fishing in a pristine setting.

I also run ads on multiple websites and spend several hours maintaining these websites every day that I am in the Adirondacks. ItÕ s safe to say that I am crippled in this work if I donÕ t have Internet access. A general lack of WiFi availability together with, at best, sporadic cell phone access has always been a problem for me.

Recently, however, WiFi access and telephone access has greatly improved with almost all motels and many restaurants offering free WiFi, and some, free long distance telephone service. Essentially, there is no serious lack of Internet access any more for persons who need it.

However, primarily for convenience reasons, I cannot see myself working several hours every day on the banks of the Hudson, Indian River, Mill Creek or the Boreas RiverÐ even if WiFi was available.

If it comes to an either/or choice, I have to align myself with

those persons who would limit WiFi to campgrounds only or none at all.

Personally, I feel that staying Ó always connectedÓ does a great disservice to the Adirondack experience. Adirondack campgrounds are where outdoor enthusiasts should be able to find unmolested solitude.

Many years ago, in Yosemite Park before the Internet, motor home people Ò stayed connectedÓ by crowding the CB radio spectrum so badly that there were essentially no open channels available for new conversations!!!! If ubiquitous WiFi becomes a reality in the Adirondacks, you can expect similar massive entertainment usage, not the occasional business usage.

I would hate to see this happen in the Ó Forever WildÓ Adirondacks. The Adirondacks are not a Mall where people can go to text and connect.

Golf outing a success To the Times of Ti: On Sunday, June 22, eleven teams teed off at the Saranac Inn Golf Course for a great cause. Literacy Volunteers, a charitable organization that provides adult literacy programs in Essex and Franklin Counties, held its third READ the Green Golf Tournament. First place was awarded to Andy McGillÕ s team from Sa-

ranac Lake followed by Arthur RocqueÕ s team also from Saranac Lake. Third place was presented to Buffy MarcilÕ s team from Moriah, and forth place was given to Dan AlexanderÕ s team from Elizabethtown.

Literacy Volunteers would like to thank each of the following local businesses for sponsoring a hole in the amount of $100: Country Florist & Gifts, Delta Kappa Gamma- Beta Mu Chapter, Desperados, Engel & Volkers Real Estate, Gordon Pratt Agency, Hyde Fuel, Lockrows, Malone Office Products, Mirror Lake Inn, Pat Ida, Raquette River Brewery, Shaheens Super Market, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union, Ticonderoga International Paper Mill, Upstate Agency Insurance, and The Wine & Spirits Shoppe.

We would also like to thank those who donated prizes for first, second, third, fourth, closest to the pin, and longest drive. Generous donors were: Craig Wood Golf Course, The Crowe Plaza, Malone Golf Course, Saranac Inn Golf Course, Saranac Lake Golf Course, Tupper Lake Golf Course, Whiteface Club & Resort, and Willsboro Golf Course.

A big thanks to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise for helping with publicity, and last but not least, we must acknowledge Jim Connors & Chris Stevens from the Saranac Inn Golf Course for helping us put together the tournament. It was a very successful fundraiser, and proceeds will benefit Literacy Volunteers’ adult literacy programs. We look forward to next yearÕ s event!

Nurses group starts to fundraise for return to Honduras

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ A return to Honduras will start with a yard sale July 19-20 in Ticonderoga.

NY/VT Nurses-Honduras 2015 will hold its first fundraiser at 27 The Portage in Ticonderoga from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days.

Sandy Sprague, who took part in the trip to Honduras in 2013 and will again in 2015, said the group goes as part of the medical program, working with licensed medical professionals and community health workers to provide comprehensive health services in rural communities with limited access to health care. Ò It was a wonderful experience,Ó Sprague said. Ò Sometimes you almost feel like you are only doing just a little, but when you see the amount of people who walk miles to get there and the happiness shown, it makes you feel nice to know you are doing something very needed by these people.Ó The yard sale will be the first of several fundraisers held between now and the late winter of 2015. Ò Ninety to 95 percent of the money collected is not used for individual cost of travel,Ó Sprague said. Ò Each individual that

goes is responsible for the cost of plane fare and accommodations at the Global Brigades secure site. Since we are primarily a nursing group, unless we are lucky enough to have a provider among us, a part of the money is used to hire two or three physicians and two dentists from Honduras to staff our four day clinics. We also need to purchase a large box of prescription medications like blood pressure meds, diabetic meds, antibiotics, antiparasitics, and more which will be waiting for us when we get there since these are difficult to collect and transport.Ó Sprague said the group also boards the plane with hundreds of bottles of over the counter medications. She said the people in rural Honduras not only lack access to these meds but cannot afford them when day to day life itself is a struggle. Ò We carry 20-plus large suitcases filled with these drugs as extra luggage on the plane,Ó Sprague said. Ò Transport of these may or may not be an added expense depending on what sort of deal we can get with the airline. Shipping the medications ahead of time or obtaining them in country is impossible as the expense would be astronomical between shipping and customs.Ó Health services are not readily accessible to a majority of the population. An estimated 1.3 million Hondurans are without access to health care. In the isolated regions of Honduras, there are almost no physicians.

One of the goals of the NY/VT Nurses group is to provide nursing students from North Country Community College and Castleton State College the opportunity to learn about global health.

Sprague said the organizer of the brigades, Amy Russell, an RN and director of nursing at Genesis Healthcare in Middlebury, Vt., who lives in Ticonderoga, started organizing the trips with her students at North Country before starting a local bri-

gade two years ago. Ò Changes in professional roles and the movement of people across national and international boundaries make it important to understand healthcare and nursing issues in a global context,Ó Sprague said. Ò Communicating with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds is only one challenge facing nurses today.

Nurses need to think and act in ways that are culturally sensitive as they provide care.Ó More information on the NY/VT Nurses-Honduras 2015 and their planned 2015 trip, along with further information on fundraising activities, visit the website empowered.org-NY-VT-Nurses-Unite-Medical-Brigade-Honduras-2015.

Vehicles in county fleet are a mess, claims crusader

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Richard Stonitsch grew angrier and angrier throughout May. When his disgust reached a boil, he intended on going to Essex County Board of Supervisors meeting that morning to voice his displeasure. But heÕ d injured his back and instead started emailing a reporter.

In came the series of emails showcasing his disgust with a vehicle, a 2008 Ford Fusion, that he bought at an auction brokered by Auctions International last July.

The so-called Pig Pen Files.

They came flooding in, photos of a county vehicle caked with grime and trash. The seats were stained, and the interior streaked with a gooey-looking substance. Proof was in the county placard hanging on the rearview mirror and the auction files. Ò I just got so disgusted when looking at pictures on my laptop, I wanted to do something about it,Ó Stonitsch said. Ò The mechanic said it was beautiful, but it stunk to holy hell when I went to pick it up. At first, I was confused that I had the wrong vehicle.Ó Stonitsch flips cars as a side gig but lost out on this one.

He said he bought the vehicle with 99,886 miles for $3700, but the transmission was blown. That cost $1800, plus another $600 for brakes, before he sold it for $6000. Ò What this boils down to is that the vehicle is not being taken care of,Ó Stonitsch said. Ò If the

maintenance was done properly, it would probably still be on the road.Ó In an email to Board Chairman Randy Douglas, Stonitsch admitted that was aware of the as-is purchasing conditions. A listing for the vehicle clearly indicated the terms and conditions of the sale and noted the condition of the transmission, and the condition of the interior, as Ò good.Ó Ò But as a taxpayer,Ó he wrote, Ò along with my six kids that are taxpayers, IÕ m not happy about the so-called maintenance and cleanliness done to this vehicle.Ó

Douglas said he would look into it.

Stonitsch wondered if all county-owned vehicles in their fleet were being treated the same way.

County vehicles have mandated retirement dates, said County Attorney Daniel Manning, and the vehicle in question would have been put on the auction block regardless of its condition.

The silver-colored Focus was traced back to a Department of Social Services worker.

County Manager Daniel Palmer said that after he learned of the issue, he gathered the

department heads together and chided them to take better care of their vehicles. Ò Some people keep them clean, some donÕ t,Ó he said. Ò But the bottom line is these cars have to be kept clean.Ó Ò Pictures donÕ t lie, and the ones I saw were disgusting,Ó said Department of Social Services Commissioner John OÕ Neill.

“We have many cars in the fleet, with many different people using the cars. Often they are transporting families with children, and cars get dirty, and we remind staff to clean the car after use. For more thorough cleaning, we have depended on another county department, but they have been overworked and understaffed recently, so regular cleaning has not been happening as dependably as we thought.Ó OÕ Neill said his department has taken steps to ensure that his departmentÕ s vehicles will be kept clean. They plan on purchasing cleaning kits for each vehicle, instituting regular spot checks and Ò discussing ways to have each car cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis.Ó Stonitsch said he was satisfied with the results.

But a few hours later, another email came in alerting a reporter to another perceived problem with the county’s vehicular fleet. Ò When I get the new laptop back, I will send you the pictures,Ó he wrote, almost sheepishly. Ò I canÕ t download them now.Ó ABOVE: Richard Stonitsch bought a 2008 Ford Focus from the Essex County fleet last year and was displeased with the conditions.

WE ARE TICONDEROGA DENTAL Dear Friends: In a recent article in the July 5, 2014 Times of Ti, you were introduced to the team of Ticonderoga Dental; Betty, Dave, Debbie and Dr, Cepelak (Dr. C). Many local patients were already familiar with us, since we had all worked together at Inter-Lakes Health for over 6 years as half of the staff of the dental clinic in Moses Ludington Hospital. We were and still are proud of the work we did there.

We treated all of the patients, whether they were private self-pay, private insured, Medicaid or subsidized Fidelis patients, the same. We offered a full spectrum of modalities, showing them Treatment Plan options which their insurance coverage and financial ability to pay would be applied to. Together, our team and the patients would choose the plan they felt most comfortable with. We believed that our responsibility was to offer the best treatment to any patient, and used more than twenty- five years of private practice experience to do that. When one new patient asked Dr. Cepelak, “ You went to college at Duke and dental school at the University of North Carolina.

What are you doing up here? His response was, “Don’t you have the right to the same treatment as anyone else, anyplace? And you do.

We did our best to try to help the administration of the facility make our part of the hospital, the dental clinic, work better and be more profitable. And make no mistake, it was profitable. Yet, we were ignored, and on February 13, 2014 at 10:30 in the morning, during the middle of a full schedule of patients, and patients that had been scheduled for Dr. Cepelak for months and treatment which had been started, and probably now would never be completed, all four members of our team were, without warning, fired. Debbie had six months of scheduled patients who had been extremely satisfied seeing her for up to six years, and her appointments were always punctual. The purpose of this action was typically short-sighted, short term business financial decisions. Ignoring the immediate and probably permanent loss of dental treatment availability for three to four thousand patients in the Ticonderoga/Moriah area.

But we are Ticonderoga Dental. We put four local employees right back to work in the local nieghborhood. Three of them even got raises. They are even working shorter hours. We do that by being more efficient, watching overhead and being more proficient. We realize that investing a little more money in more production is more intelligent than focusing on cutting budget items. We have a dedicated emergency room, so new, lost or current patients in pain can always be slipped into our schedule. We can repair dentures without sending them out of town. We fabricate our own temporary bridges in advance, so that patients save money and time. We are a family dentist. We believe that a child should be seen locally, and that referral to the pedodontist is the exception not the rule. We do root canal therapy, but do refer when rarely required. We don’t think every patient needs bleaching, but will duscuss the options. We have experience with restoring implants from single units to full arches. We have over thirty years of experience of fixed prosthedontics (crowns, veneers and bridges) and removable prosthedontics (dentures and partials). We always prefer white fillings, but will place silver fillings if requested or if required by the situation. We love cosmetic dentistry, but can find more reasonable ways of completing it. And yes, if necessary, we do extract teeth, more quickly and with less trauma.

So if you used to go to Inter-Lakes Dental or still do; if you used to see Dr. C or Debbie; if you remember your appointment being on time; if you still want to get all of the procedures described above, you still can.

WE ARE TICONDEROG DENTAL 174 LAKE GEORGE AVENUE TICONDEROGA, NY 12883 518-503-5149

Summer push is on for Ticonderoga High auditorium funding

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ A group looking to bring the historic auditorium at the high school into the 21st century will push toward their goal during the summer months.

The Ticonderoga High School Auditorium Renovation committee, chaired by Janet Mallon, is still seeking $4,500 in funding so they can move forward with a $10,400 study of the auditorium to see what is next. Ò This is all going to be funded through do-

nations,Ó Mallon said. Ò We have 22 different donors so far, all local, and we are looking for individuals, companies and businesses to make tax-deductible donations.Ó Mallon said part of the purpose in renovating the auditorium is to provide an option for indoors performances and concerts during the summer as well as create a more comfortable experience throughout the rest of the year. Ò We can have more summer events in there, including more performers, music and theater,Ó Mallon said.

Renovations to be done include padding the seats, painting, restoring or replacing the win-

dows and adding air conditioning. Ò They have to be done with historic preservation in mind,Ó Mallon said of the renovations to the building that is included on the National Historic Registry. Ò We want to maintain the ambiance of the early 1930Õ s but update it for comfort.Ó Mallon, a former teacher and member of the PRIDE of Ticonderoga board, said she has been working with PRIDE director Sharon Reynolds in preparing to write grants and seek additional funding once the survey is done. Ò After the study is done, the project will be

divided into multiple stages,Ó Mallon said. Ò We are hoping to fund the actual renovation with grants and private monies. Any amount is appreciated, and of course, the larger the amount, the quicker we can get started on this long overdue project.Ó The project is being overseen by architect John G. Waite who is currently working on projects with Fort Ticonderoga and others. Ò Once restored, the auditorium will be a major asset to serving both the school district and the entire community as a performing arts facility and public assembly space,Ó Waite said.

Remarkably, each of these key objects in the exhibit has a provenance of use in America prior to or connected with the American Revolution.Ó Fox said there are several stories behind the pieces in the collection. Ò The knapsack featured in the exhibit was owned by Benjamin Warner who settled in Ticonderoga after the Revolution. The blanket was actually used at Ticonderoga in 1777,” said Fox. “Like all 18th-century garments, military or civil, a wide variety of buttons and buckles were used to keep clothing snug and secure. Drawing from the museumÕ s extensive archeological clothing-related artifact collections, hundreds of buttons, buckles, fragments of cloth and metallic trims. These artifacts show the diversity of materials used in the construction of military clothing in the 18th century.”

sitioned throughout the exhibit. These works provide additional dimension to the interpretation of the original garments featured in the exhibit. Much of what is known about 18thcentury military clothing is documented only through paintings. By incorporating art into this presentation and making comparisons with the garments on display, visitors are able to compare the garments in the exhibit with surviving images showing how they were actually worn in the 18th century.

A video in the exhibit offers a never before seen perspective on the construction of an 18th-century coat. By compressing over 50 hours of work into a seven minute time lapse video visitors are able to observe the entire construction process from measuring a person to cutting of the cloth and construction of the coat to its final fitting.

Funding for the Founding Fashion was made possible in part by the following supporters: Best Western Plus Ticonderoga, D&E Technologies, Glens Falls National Bank, History Channel, Lake George Mirror, National Grid, Ticonderoga Credit Union, and individual donors.

Times of Ti - 25

Ti Footrace at the Falls July 19 to honor former Ti High stalwart

TICONDEROGA Ñ The 10th annual Footrace at the Falls, run in memory of Duane Crammond, will be contested Saturday, July 19.

Normally held in the fall, the 2014 race will be held July 19 as part of the TiconderogaÕ s 250th anniversary celebration.

This is the third year the event, sponsored by the LaChute Road Runners Club, will be held in downtown Ti. It was run seven years at Fort Ticonderoga.

The 5-kilometer run will begin at 10 a.m. The course will follow the LaChute River Walk.

It will be followed by a free childrenÕ s race for those age 10 and younger at 10:30 a.m. All children will receive a free certificate for an ice cream at the Wind Chill Factory. Parents must sign a waiver for each child running.

Registration for both races will be at the Ticonderoga Elks lodge at 5 Tower Avenue 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Restrooms and parking will be available at the Elks lodge.

Entry fee for the 5K race is $15 for students age 18 and younger, $20 for adults in advance and $22 for adults on race day. Checks can be made payable to the LaChute Road Runners.

Awards will be presented to the top three finishers in each age group in the 5K. For information call Matt Karkoski at 585-7206, Email matthewkarkoski@yahoo.com or go online at www.lachute.us Race proceeds will benefit the Duane Crammond Memorial

Fund. The fund helps support the Ticonderoga High School cross country and track teams as well as youth running programs in the community.

During its first seven years proceeds from the race were used to fund the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship. That $1,000 annual scholarship is now fully funded and will continue to be awarded.

The Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship and the Duane Crammond Memorial Fund are named for a former Ti High running stalwart.

Crammond died in a car accident in 2005 at age 24.

Crammond, the valedictorian of the Ti High Class of 1999, was a cross country and track champion in high school. He went on to become an honor student at RPI, where he majored in engineering and was captain of the collegeÕ s cross country team. He was also the leading distance runner on RPIÕ s indoor and outdoor track teams.

After graduation from college, Crammond dominated local races. In 2003 he won the Montcalm Mile in Ticonderoga and the Race the Train event in North Creek. He was third in the Whiteface Uphill Run in Wilmington, fourth in the Prospect Mountain Road Race in Lake George and fifth in the Lake George to Bolton Adirondack Distance Run. He capped that season by winning the Adirondack Marathon in Schroon Lake.

MVAC announces scholar athletes for spring sports season 2014

Team TFCU takes to Plattsburgh

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference (MVAC) announces Scholar Athletes for the 2014 Spring Sports Season.

One male and one female athlete are chosen for each sport season. The criteria for selection are a minimum of an 85 average, one who excels in academics and sport of the season and exhibits good sportsmanship and a positive attitude.

Locally, they include: Crown Point juniors Hunter Spaulding and Robbie Macey Indian Lake junior Joe Deshaw Johnsburg juniors Laura Richards and Aidan Connelly Long Lake senior Shaneka Burch and junior Curtis Seaman Minerva juniors Sydney Barber and Dustin Saville Newcomb juniors Madison Miller and Andrew Sponable Schroon Lake seniors Abigail Veverka and Justin Lough

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Ò Team TFCU,Ó consisting of nine members including seven Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union (TFCU) staff members and two spouses, participated in The Biggest Loser Event Challenge in Plattsburgh Sunday, June 1.

A number of TFCU members sponsored the team resulting in a total of $325 in donations. With TFCUÕ s matching contribution they will be dividing $650 among three area food pantries.

Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union would like to thank their members who helped support the food pantries through their donations. Ò WeÕ re proud to have participated in the Biggest Loser event challenge,Ó Shawn

Duane Crammond

Hayes, President and CEO of Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union said. Ò Encouraging healthier lifestyles and raising funds for local food pantries is a win-win situation. IÕ m grateful to our staff and those members who donated to the cause and provided encouragement along the way.Ó

Frontier Town saga Continued from page 1 But he did to the tune of $200,000.

While the figure carved out of the slab of granite is a generic soldier, Moore said the concept was inspired by General Anthony Clement McAuliffe, the troop commander in the encircled town of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge.

Asked to surrender, he responded with a singular word: Ò Nuts!Ó

Obstacles

The father of eight reclined in his chair as workers and visitors flowed throughout the office — delivery personnel, staffers, family members, drivers. He kept on eye on the Dow and fluctuations in the price of copper.

Above his head hung a small sign: Ò Business, like life, is a series of obstacles.

Your success is determined by how well you overcome the obstacles.Ó Ò IÕ ve always considered myself a working man, not a big shot,Ó he said.

Moore recalled his first business venture: making butter with his grandparents starting at the age of eight. Ò WeÕ d bring it into town on a horse and buggy,Ó he said.

He later worked on a local farm for $4 per day.

As World War II dragged on Ñ he joined after a stint working at a Cleveland rayon plant Ñ the 18-year-old was marked as fodder for Operation Downfall, the Allied plan for the land invasion of Japan.

About a million Allied lives were instantly predicted as a total loss. Ò I felt cheated that I wasnÕ t in the war,Ó he said. Ò I was training when they dropped the atomic bombs.Ó Moore said his wartime experience helped forge his business acumen: Ò People donÕ t realize what WWII was Ñ everything was for the war,Ó he said. Ò No new cars were produced. It was all Jeeps and Army trucks. They completed an airplane every hour.Ó After being discharged, the Peru native took his savings accrued from various jobs in his early years Ñ ironworker, log supplier, Caterpillar salesman, Liberty ship-loader Ñ and dove into the business world.

One of his first projects was bidding on government-issued surplus vehicles, namely Jeeps. Ò IÕ ve always liked Keeseville,Ó he said. Ò When I was in Georgia doing basic training, I promised myself that I would come back.Ó His ventures eventually expanded to property development in Florida and attracting business to the area when local factories began

to dry up and blow away, including the Grover Hills Mill in the Old Prescott Building. Ò Wherever I went, I always had business,Ó he said.

His local holdings include 82 properties, mostly in Keeseville and Peru area, including the A-Frame in North Hudson, which he purchased in 2004 for $145,000. Records provided by his office show that he paid $135,000 in property taxes last year to Essex County.

‘I enjoy being involved’

Moore said he has employed a lot of area residents over the year, many who he said were unemployable. Fifty people worked at his main business at its peak.

Now, there are 20. The lionÕ s share of his scrap metal business, of one the five spokes in his empire, has been handed off to his daughter, Carolyn, and two grandsons, Tanner and Troy Baraby. Ò Recycling is a dirty job, but what weÕ re doing is also good for the environment,Ó Troy said, who recently returned to the family fold after trying to make it in California as a musician.

His grandfather has no plans to walk away entirely from business and enjoy his golden years. Ò I enjoy being involved,Ó he said.

Moore had fond memories of Frontier Town and cited a visit in the 1950s. Ò Kids rode the train that got robbed,Ó he said. Ò We heard the Indian pow-wow. It was interesting. They employed a lot of people. But times change.Ó Moore said he was focused on business during these family trips.

Now, in his office, he sat surrounded by newspaper clippings highlighting his civic

achievements, rescue efforts and economic activities.

He begrudgingly cited volunteer work with the Vision for Hope Clinic in Nicaragua. Ò I never liked publicity,Ó he said. Ò DonÕ t like it, never have. Just a working man.Ó He leaned back in his chair, and his voice softened: Ò IÕ m a hard-ass, always was. But IÕ m harder on myself.Ó Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow spoke highly of the local fixture and said he stood behind him in his desire to purchase the disputed property from the county for $65,000. Ò But heÕ s a lot like me,Ó Morrow said before emphatically slamming his fist down on his desk. Ò Stubborn.Ó

Nuts!

Lawmakers went into executive sessions June 30 and again on Monday, July 7 to discuss the next step forward.

On June 18, North Hudson Supervisor Ronald Moore (no relation to George) approached County Attorney Daniel Manning with the desire to forge an agreement that would avoid a legal battle.

The two huddled around a map of the property and sketched out what the county was ready to offer George.

Manning wrote Bill Russell, MooreÕ s attorney, a letter announcing the countyÕ s counteroffer: George, it was proposed, would be allowed to keep three of the four disputed parcels and one-third of the fourth, the largest and one with road access to Blue Ridge Road. Ò In order to get to the bridge, the DEC is installing for the trails at the outlet of Palmer

Pond. The trail has to go to the Blue Ridge Road, across the bridge at the Schroon River, underneath the Northway overpass at Exit 29 and on to the bridge at Palmer Pond,Ó Ron Moore said.

North Hudson, for their part, would retain the other two-thirds.

The town also requested easements that would grant road access. The proposed rightaway would carve out a passage allowing the snowmobile, horseback trails and other recreational activities that the North Hudson leader is seeking to attract to the property.

Russell, in a response dated June 26, said his client agreed to allow access to the road but nothing else Ñ including the land. Ò What good is access if we donÕ t own the property?Ó Manning mused.

Russell said while his client was pleased to receive the offer, the buildings on the larger parcel would have to be torn down, leaving little available land for his client to use. Ò That wasnÕ t acceptable,Ó he said. Ò We didnÕ t mind the one easement for snowmobiling because that was discussed. ItÕ s good for the community and good for business. We certainly support anything good for the community.Ó

‘Closed door politics’

North Hudson resident Dan Snyder scoffed at the counter-offer. Ò A lot of people really donÕ t care. ItÕ s a moot point,Ó he said. Ò Why would snowmobilers come here? ThereÕ s nothing here in North Hudson for them to come to and spend money. ThereÕ s no stopping, just driving through and no place to create revenue. Mr. [George] Moore should give us the property. Let us manage our townÕ s future.Ó Sindy Brazee, an outspoken resident who is engaged in a number of lawsuits with the county, said town residents were circulating a permissive referendum to force a vote on the issue.

Brazee said the petition, which was filed July 7, now has 43 signatures, therefore exceeding the number of 25 signatures for a permissive referendum. She said it is not for or against the acquisition of the parcels, but rather a reaction to what she called the Ò closed door politicsÓ which affect the town.

The Valley News was provided the cover page of the petition alongside the first and last pages but not the full document.

Brazee also alleges the town has not been transparent in providing their board meetings and minutes to the public. The resident also said her FOIL request for board minutes and resolutions was stonewalled.

The most recent meeting minutes posted on North HudsonÕ s website were those chronicling the regular board meeting May 8. Ò These types of actions show a deliberate attempt to keep the public in the dark and out of town business,Ó she said.
