MORIAH — The final bell has rang for an afterschool program that parents, school officials, nonprofits and civic leaders say has been vital to sustaining healthy communities for the past 15 years.

Adirondack Community Action Programs (ACAP) runs three programs in Moriah, Schroon and Westport. They will not reopen next month because the state determined they did not score high enough to gain access to the funding that would cover their operating costs. Ò There is a crisis in child care,Ó said ACAP CEO Alan Jones at a roundtable discussion with county officials and other stakeholders to discuss a path forward last week. Ò This is a devastating loss.Ó Moriah serves 60 kids, Schroon and Westport, 30 each.

Many come from economically challenged families.

These taxing circumstances mean that parents depend on the program to care for their kids during the brief window when classes are dismissed and parents get home from work, said Marge Zmijewski, the programÕ s director.

Parents say the centers provide a safe place for their children.

They are open until 6 p.m, often later during the winters when inclement weather results in more treacherous commutes, many over long distances.

Ò We seem to be getting about 500 people each year who come and listen to the music.Ó Performers for the 2014 festival will include Roy Hurd and Frank Orsini; Dan Berggren, Peggy Lynn and Dan Duggan; Dana and Susan Robinson; Boxcar Lillies and the Michelle Fay Band.

Ò Dan Berggren and Darlene Gregson will also be doing a piece on how the festival began 25 years ago,Ó Hooper said.

Berggren had said that the idea for the folk festival came from his relationship with the late Pete Seeger, the renowned folk singer and songwriter, who Berggren credits as Ò sowing the seedsÓ for the idea of the festival.

Ò This campaign is about taking the momentum we have built to the next level and actively recruiting member-owners of the Co-op.Ó The Ticonderoga Natural Foods Co-op will be member-owned, but open to the public. The Co-op will connect local consumers with the abundant, high-quality foods and agriculture products from the adirondacks, Champlain Valley and neighboring regions. Ò After months of work it is exciting to be at the point where we can launch this campaign and give people the opportunity to get in on the ground floor,” said steering committee member Eric Stoddard.

Stoddard added that it is not everyday that you can say you helped start a cooperative business that can make a major improvement in your community.

Member owners of the co-op will make a one-time $250 equity investmentÑ a share in

the co-op and receive benefits including store discounts and rebates when the Co-op earns a surplus income, as well as a voice in the decision making. Ò We need investments from at least 300 new member-owners to make it happen,Ó said Reynolds. Ò Simply put, the faster we can bring them on board, the faster we can open the store.Ó LEFT: Eric Stoddard at the Natural Foods Co-op booth.

Ebola makes its way to the U.S.

W

hen does the possibility of saving one life justify putting hundreds, if not thousands, of others at risk?

In this weekÕ s most disturbing news story, the death toll from the recent outbreak of Ebola in West Africa is climbing steadily toward the 1,000 mark. Doctors and nurses from around the world, including the United States, are flocking to Africa with a myriad of resources to combat the disease.

They are willingly putting themselves in harmÕ s way in order to help their fellow man. Their actions are certainly commendable, and they should be supported in any way possibleÉ except one.

Recently, two Americans who trekked to Africa in this wave of humanitarian relief, one doctor and one missionary nurse, were reported to have contracted the nearly incurable disease. Almost immediately, the United States government and the American medical community undertook a rescue mission in which the two were brought back to the United States to undergo state-of-the-art treatment at a U.S. hospital in Georgia.

Why? Ebola is 90 percent fatal and is spread by touching an infected person. It has an almost a 100 percent transmission rate if there is even the slightest accidental skin-to-skin contact.

One thing that is known to keep Ebola from spreading: having an ocean between an infected person and an uninfected continent.

Why would American medical and government officials knowingly put the lives of Americans at risk by bringing two infected people back to America? Is it to show the world how great our medical establishment is? Is it to show that no matter the cost, we never leave an American behind?

Neither of these “reasons” justifies the risk of even one American who did not choose to go into an infected region of the world and risk the consequences.

In Africa, the first thing done when there is an Ebola outbreak is to quarantine the entire hospital where the outbreak occurs. How arrogant are the Americans behind this little adventure to feel that we are above the law, so to speak, and not subject to African quarantine.

Let Africans die, we are saying in essence: Americans are much more valuable and canÕ t be left to the same fate as the rest of the regular people.

And speaking of value, who is paying for the extraordinary and extraordinarily-expensive rescue mission for these two people?

Is the cost being born by the American government, in other words, us?

August 9, 2014

Is the cost being born by the insurance industry, which in the long run, will filter down to us?

Either way, we were never asked if we wanted our money to go on such a foolÕ s errand, which is ultimately bringing one of the deadliest diseases known to mankind to our shores.

How many supplies and treatment facilities could those millions of dollars spent on speciallyequipped jets and the like bought? How many Africans, or other missionaries or health care professionals, could that money have saved? If saving lives was the true goal and not just flexing American muscle on the world stage, then those two Americans would be receiving their treatment, like hundreds of Africans, in Africa where they willingly chose to go.

Speaking of saving lives, how much food would that money have been able to purchase? Yes, in the past couple weeks, nearly 1,000 people in Africa have died from Ebola. How many have starved to death in that region in those same two weeks? For that matter, how many American children have gone to bed hungry in those two weeks?

Once again, our foreign policy is being pushed by the media and by the catchiest headline. Starving children in AfricaÉ thatÕ s not sexy enough.

American doctor contracts EbolaÉ now youÕ ve got something!

And what about the Christian missionary nurse who also contracted Ebola? Would it be too jaded to think that if she were the only American to have contracted the disease, and not a doctor as well, that she would still be in Africa, dying?

Thousands of American missionaries still crisscross the globe, living with and treating poor people in numerous countries around the world.

Some, probably many, get sick in these far flung outposts. Some probably even die.

Can anyone remember a million-dollar rescue mission to save one of these missionaries? Yes, itÕ s good to be an American, but itÕ s even better to be an American doctor.

Even while this is being written, a hospital in New York City is treating a patient with Ò Ebolalike symptoms.Ó As with the SARS outbreak in Mainland China and Hong Kong a few years ago, it is probably impossible to keep a disease like Ebola isolated to one continent in the travel-friendly world in which we live now. ThatÕ s no reason though to tempt fate and intentionally bring that disease to American shores.

If this leads to an outbreak here, hopefully those responsible will be called to task. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Upset with coverage, editorial

Responds to letters

Support the Strand

To the Times of Ti: I suggest that before you publish the editorial, you do the research for the correct facts. The editorial Ò Overtime costs, shift changes and a missing personÓ have so many erroneous statements and missing facts that I do not know where to begin.

It was stated that the Warren County Sheriff Department arrived on the scene within 30 minutes of the initial call, which is true. However, considering the distance they had to travel they arrived in excellent time. You also neglected to acknowledge that Hague Vol. Fire Dept. was on scene within minutes and rescued one of the two men who were with Mr. Scott that day. The other survivor was on the boat of a civilian who aided in the rescue. When there is an accident on Lake George, the Countywide Marine Rescue Team is immediately called to assist. You mention the Lake George Park Commission boat yet omitted boats from the DEC, Lake George and Bolton. The search included departments from Hague, Horicon, Bolton Landing, Lake George, Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga EMS, Putnam, State Police divers and Saratoga Divers. There were agencies from four different counties aiding in the search.

The staff reporter that you enlisted used very unethical methods to get the story. She had to be asked many times to stay behind the caution tape. On the first day while we were trying to protect the family in their obvious state of shock and sadness, she resorted to returning to The Hague Beach in the late afternoon with her husband, two children and a camera pretending to be on a family outing, but in reality she was attempting to garner information and photos. She also showed up on the day Mr. ScottÕ s body was recovered and tried to hide in an upper parking lot to take pictures of his grieving family.

The Warren County Sheriff Dept. did indeed cease searching approximately 6 p.m. on the first day for no other reason than the weather had changed. It became very windy with extremely low visibility below the surface which was dangerous for the divers, who were in unsafe deep water. These divers face unknown challenges in their search efforts and must observe strict safety procedures. In the morning before they resumed the search, they would meet to discuss the previous dayÕ s findings and plan the current dayÕ s strategy. In fact, at one point a distress call went out because they lost sight of one of the divers, which could have resulted in yet another tragedy.

As stated Ò Weeks later, there is certainly no way of knowing if the search had continued past 6 p.m. July 1 if the outcome would have been any different.Ó Be assured that the outcome would have NOT been any different. We wish that you could see the letters that Hague Vol. Fire Dept. has received from the immediate family, extended family and friends of the Scott Family, thanking all agencies for their dedication, care concern and thoughtfulness in the rescue of their loved one.

This family knows the true story which apparently your staff reporter, Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen does not.

To the Times of Ti: Two letters in the Times of Ti Aug. 2 edition caught my attention. One was from Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell who complained about the State Ò PlaygroundÓ costing North Country taxpayers more than those who live outside it. This is a good point but Mr. Grinnell should not have refused an invitation to attend the Adirondack Challenge! He should have gone and rallied the other elected officials of the North Country! Mr. Grinnell lumps in low assessments on State land, education funding and development rights in his letter, as he is most probably frustrated with a lack of funds to carry out his agenda. He fails to see the folly of blaming the Governor, as there are many factors that must be considered. The most important one is loss of residents as the exodus continues from all over the North Country. This translates into a smaller tax base as costs continue to rise for education, highway maintenance, fire protection and a host of other needs. The problem has existed long before Governor Cuomo ever took office and it will continue when he is long gone. Mr. Grinnell putting the blame on the Governor will not solve the problems he speaks of and he should have known this before taking office.

The second letter that caught my attention does the same as the first in that it blames our President for ills that he has no control over. John Sharkey uses his old tired message blaming President Obama for the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi two years ago. He goes on to blame the President for consenting to the IRS targeting of “Conservative Organizations” and bringing in thousands of illegal immigrant children. He feels our President should be impeached for these happenings as well as others he has fabricated in his mind. Mr. Sharkey evidently forgot about the 243 Marines killed in Lebanon by a truck bomb while President Regan was in office. By his way of thinking President Regan who ordered our Marines to Ò Stand DownÓ should have been impeached! In point of fact President Regan never retaliated for these deaths! If Mr. Sharkey had his way he would blame President Obama for the fiasco at the Bay of Pigs and the sinking of the Maine! Mr. Sharkey states Ò President Obama is attempting to overwhelm the systemÓ ! Never mind that President Bush put us in a war that took thousands of American lives and will continue into the next century and beyond! I believe the John Sharkeys of this world are overwhelmed with their own tirades and blaming others is a way of life for them. This being said I donÕ t expect him to stop using blame as a way to discredit those he dislikes.

I would like to see Bill Grinnell act as a responsible Supervisor and put the blame for TiÕ s problems where they belong. By all means Mr. Grinnell carry your words to the State Capitol on a placard and lobby our elected officials. Pointing blame doesnÕ t get action but being truthful does.

To the Times of Ti: For several months we have been asking members of the Schroon Lake community to support the Ò Go Digital or Go DarkÓ campaign for the digital conversion of the Strand Theatre. I would like to provide some important information to this wonderfully supportive community in which we live and vacation.

Raising funds for the digital conversion of the Strand Theatre has been a grassroots effort with many local and seasonal residents providing an outpouring of support. The Save the Strand Committee is greatly appreciative of the funds, the ideas, the encouragement that has been been provided by dozens of residents and visitors and those with fond memories of the place the Stand has played in their lives.

We thank you all.

Similar fundraising efforts are happening all over the country, and specifically in the North Country as movie theaters are faced with the reality of the end of 35 mm projection: The Hollywood in Au Sabe Forks, Indian Lake Theater in Indian Lake, The Palace in Lake Placid, The Strand in Old Forge, to name a few, have all reached out to their communities to fund raise for digital projection. We are not alone.

The alternative? A dark, empty building in the middle of Main Street. The Strand neon sign has been lighting Main Street since 1937.

The reasons for having the Strand open and showing movies again are multiple and obvious: local businesses are suffering now with the theater closed; dinners are down in neighboring restaurants, we are all missing out on our summer movies.

Another reality is that single screen movie theaters are not a profitable business, yet the owners of the Strand Theatre have made a commitment to keeping movies on Main Street, Schroon Lake, but, like other theaters that IÕ ve mentioned, they need the communityÕ s help to do so. The Strand owners have contributed tremendously to this community by hosting events sponsored by Schroon/ North Hudson Historical Society, Adirondack Shakespeare, and the beloved annual Holiday Party for all the children of the town and beyond, to name a few.

Community support has been tremendous. We know and believe that these contributions from the broad variety of donors are given with the understanding that a landmark theater will continue to serve this and surrounding communities.

And, of course, celebrations will be planned and donors of all ages will be honored. WeÕ re just not there yet. But with the communityÕ s continued support and smiles, we will soon be meeting once again in front of our Strand Theatre talking about the latest movies to come to Schroon Lake. We just havenÕ t been able to reach our goal yet. But we will continue with our mugs, shirts, and events sponsored by other local businesses. The committee thanks you all for your support and patience.

Dunk tank thanks To the Times of Ti: On Saturday, July 26 Cornerstone Alliance Church participated in a dunk tank to raise funds for a local familyÕ s medical expenses. The response was very exciting. We had many participants on the seat to be dunked, from local politicians, clergy, the Times of Ti and members of Cornerstone Alliance Church.

It was great fun to see some of these folks get dunked, and the audience appreciated the opportunity to hassle their favorite person, knowing the funds were helping someone in our local community. The kids had a great time trying to hit the bullseye.

We want to thank Scott Tyler, Mike Diskin, Pat Ida, Irv Cummins, the Gallo clan, Dan Alexander, Father Kevin, Pastor Charlie, Eddie Rapino, Jake Shahan, TJ Bilow, the Ticonderoga Fire Department, Mike Forland and Walt (owner of tank) as well as others behind the scenes.

250th a success To the Times of Ti: Ticonderoga, the first 250 Years Committee cosponsored by the Ticonderoga Historical Society and the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum would like to thank all who took part in our week-long celebration to mark the 250th anniversary of TiconderogaÕ s settlement.

Our committee worked for 3 • years to raise funds for the events that took place during the week of July 19-27 (Lectures, street dance with Master Cylinders, kidsÕ activities in the park, BubbleMania, Ruby Shooz and Fireworks) by producing and selling two commemorative calendars, trivets and yo-yoÕ s. The Ticonderoga Stamp Club also produced a special stamp cachet to mark this important anniversary.

A special thanks to the Ticonderoga Kiwanis Club for providing a Bounce House for the kids. Also to Silver Bay, AmeriCorps, Imagination Library volunteers and the Ticonderoga Police Department for overseeing the park events on Thursday afternoon and evening.

Keepsake calendars are still available at the Hancock House (2 for $5) Hope to see you at the 300th anniversary!

Long abandoned antiques, dusted off by Mountain Time Eclectic auction to be held Aug. 8

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ Storage lockers left behind in 1998 by former resident Terrance Ò TerryÓ Walsh are being dusted off and catalogued by Rick and Michelle Harker of Mountain Time Auctions in downtown Ticonderoga. Ò Terry moved out of the area about 16 years ago to Nantucket Island,Ó Rick Harker said. Ò Terry heard of our business through word-of-mouth and contacted us to host an auction of some of the items that have been here in storage for many years.Ó Walsh was not only a Ticonderoga resident, he was also a wellknown local photographer who in a recent biography stated he was largely influenced by Walker Evans, Dorothy Lange, Diane Arbus and Paul Strand. Having grown up in Ticonderoga, the son of longtime area doctor Ò Doc Walsh,Ó Terry Walsh started his photography tenure in the Adirondacks.

During his work as a photographer and many of his travels through young and mature adulthood, Walsh accumulated artwork, signed pottery and many pieces of fine china, all of which are on display currently at Mountain TimeÕ s Ticonderoga store-

front. Ò From what I can gather, Terry traveled a lot,Ó Rick Harker said. Ò It appears when he found a piece he liked, he purchased it, regardless of cost, or intention. That makes for a really unique collection.Ó Long time antique dealer Porky Lamb recalls Walsh in his formative years while browsing portions of the collection the HarkerÕ s have spread through the back of their showroom. Ò He was just a super photographer,Ó said Lamb. Ò He used to come into our store and buy a few things. When he would come sometimes it would be a few years before we would see him again, when he moved for good we lost track of him. It is interesting to see all of this stuff here now.Ó While cataloging the collection it was noted that more than 10 countries were represented in the collection that Walsh had presented to the HarkerÕ s. Items, including a Spanish Lladro, French paintings, Japanese China and German homewares, will all be included in the Aug. 8 event.

While Walsh may have had an eye for far away antiquities, he was no stranger to locally relevant items. A book of postcards that he had collected houses a history dating back to the early 1930’s, one of which depicts a fire on Montcalm Street in Ticonderoga. It is possibly the only picture of that fire from a southern

vantage point. There are also several of WalshÕ s works included in the auction that are signed and numbered. Ò It is not unusual to have a wide variety in an auction,Ó Terry Harker said. Ò What is unusual is having such a variety of items that are also signed.Ó When asked if he thought this auction would be a successful one for the business and the seller alike, Harker stated that one never really knows how an auction is going to go, but one thing was for sure: the value and variety in this collection is unparalleled. It canÕ t just be put into photos of items on a website, it truly needs to be seen.

Historic corn maze takes on shape of Fort Ticonderoga TICONDEROGA Ñ What activity combines solving puzzles and testing your knowledge of history with fresh air, sunshine and over two miles of winding trails? Fort TiconderogaÕ s Heroic Maze: A Corn Maze Adventure!

Beginning Aug. 15, test your navigational skills among towering stalks of corn in Fort Ticonderoga’s new six-acre corn maze located near the King’s Garden. The Heroic Maze is included in Fort TiconderogaÕ s general admission price and will be open Aug. 15 through Oct. 19.

Visit fortticonderoga.org/visit/heroic-maze for corn maze details or call 585-2821.

The maze, with a new design featuring the shape of Fort Ticonderoga and the year 1776, is divided into phases allowing two levels of difficulty and the chance to gain confidence in the smaller maze before tackling the main maze.

The average journey will take from 20 minutes for the first phase up to an hour for the second phase.

Hidden in the maze are eight new stations each representing a component of an 18thcentury fort. Players are given a Quest Card to collect a stamp from each station. It takes perseverance and skill to find all the objects. Great fun for all ages!

Fort TiconderogaÕ s youngest guests will have a chance to explore the Heroic Maze in the new kiddie corn maze. Taking less than five minutes

to navigate with no fear of getting lost, little ones will be in and out in no time.

Maze by Moonlight: explore the 6-acre corn maze using your flashlight as a guide and un-

der the light of the full moon. The mysteries of the night surround you as you search for hidden stations in the maze to complete our “Engineer a Fort” Maze Quest! Cost is $10 per

person; tickets available at the door; last ticket sold 1 hour prior to closing. Maze by Moonlight event dates are Friday, Oct. 17 and Saturday, Oct. 18. Gates open at 7 p.m.

School field trip groups, and other group tours, will have the fun opportunity to learn about Fort TiconderogaÕ s dramatic story while building teamwork skills as part of this interactive, interdisciplinary quest. In September and October, the Heroic Maze will be open for group visits on Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Registration is required.

Fort Ticonderoga developed the Heroic Maze with a professional maze design company from Utah that used computer technology to translate intricate designs onto the landscape, creating a fun and exciting quest.

The agricultural history at Fort Ticonderoga dates to 1756 when the French built the Garrison Gardens below the walls of the Fort. The agricultural story continues today with nearly 40 percent of Fort TiconderogaÕ s landscape in agricultural use. In addition, a strong horticulture program brings the use of landscape to life in the formal Colonial Revival Garden, working Garrison Garden, and other Discovery Gardens.

The Heroic Maze: A Corn Maze Adventure! is funded in part by generous support McDonalds of Ticonderoga and Amtrak.

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Historical Society will host their 12th annual Summer AFair on Saturday, Aug. 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the lawn of the Hancock House at 6 Moses Circle, Ticonderoga.

Probably the most anticipated treats are at the bake table, which will be featuring items such as scrumptious, freshly baked pies, a variety of muffins for breakfast (or whenever!), an assortment of breads and other goodies.

DonÕ t miss the arts and crafts vendors who will be selling their unique hand-crafted and gift items on the lawn. Also included this year will be the first ever Junk-in-the-Trunk: instead of a lawn sale, vendors will be selling items from their cars and trucks.

The societyÕ s gift shop tent will have newly added books by some of our areaÕ s regional authors, or choose a historic picture of various local subjects, the society will be selling Hancock House Christmas ornaments (they are new this year and really are distinctive), or browse through the many other items for sale. With so much to pick from, there certainly will be something for everyone!

The Ticonderoga Historical Society holds this annual event fundraiser to support the maintenance of the Hancock House and the preservation of our archival holdings of local area history. The Society is grateful for the support of our community friends, which aids them to continue our work preserving yesterday, today and tomorrow for future generations.

This once-a-year Summer A-Fair has always been a popular event and is one that should not be missed.

People who have items to donate or who wish more information may contact Robin at the Ticonderoga Historical Society at 585-7868 or email at tihistory@bridgepoint1.com.

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Neighbors Addressing Drug Abuse Coalition will host a community forum on Aug. 12 at North Country Community College from 7 to 8 p.m.

The forum will feature a panel of experts in law enforcement, prevention, treatment and recovery who will speak to various aspects of the issue. Following the panelÕ s brief presentations there will be time for questions from the audience and dialogue with the panel members. Before the panel members speak, a short documentary film will be shown that highlights how this issue is reaching into families at all socio-economic levels.

The panel members will include Msgt Candace Stefanik, New York National Guard Counter drug task force, Mark Johns chief of the Ticonderoga Police Dept. Gary Anderson pharmacist, Kristy Sprague Essex County District Attorney and Sue Gregory St. JosephÕ s outpatient clinic supervisor. The forum moderator will be Pastor Charlie Bolstridge of the Cornerstone Alliance Church in Ticonderoga, assisted by Doug Terbeek, executive director of the prevention team. At the end of the forum those present will be asked to give input on the coalition and what next steps would be helpful.

A group of concerned citizens from various sectors of the community came together in 2013 and formed Ticonderoga Neighbors Addressing Drug Abuse (TiNADA) in an attempt to address some of the issues arising from substance abuse in our town.

Early in the process Police Chief Mark Johns said that 40% of the arrests made by the Ticonderoga Police can be attributed to an underlying substance abuse problem. This problem not only contributes to our townÕ s law enforcement expenses but impacts the quality of life and the health and safety of our residents.

The mission of Ticonderoga Neighbors Addressing Substance Abuse is to increase residentsÕ knowledge of local drug abuse problems, provide support for law enforcement, and promote effective prevention, treatment and health services to create a drug free community where families can live a healthy lifestyle and feel safe.

In fact, the dunking booth was our most popular venue - apparently, no one can resist dunking their favorite deputy! We would like to extend a huge Ò Thank You!Ó to them for their participation in our event. Attendees also enjoyed our exciting ball drop. Although we did not have a $25,000 winner, we had ten great prizes (including $500) for the 10 closest balls. The event also featured numerous craft vendors, great food, face painting, and games for the kids. There were plenty of wagging tails and purring felines as our furry friends got lots of attention and some even found their forever families. We hope all of you who attended had as much fun as we did!

Saving the Strand nears fundraising goal

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ The dream to keep a historic theater alive in the 21st Century Hollywood culture is about to become reality.

The Save the Strand Committee recently announced that they are very close to securing the needed funding to renovate the Schroon Lake hamlet theater from a one screen, 35-mm projection system into a modern digital projection facility. Ò I would say that we are closing in on being within $2,500 of our goal to raise $40,000,Ó committee chair Emily Rossi-Snook said. Ò The four person committee has done a fantastic job in looking for funding and helping reach the goal.Ó The funds raised will be joined by a matching grant through the Adirondack-North Country Association and Adirondack Film Society to complete the needed renovation.

In 2013, these two organizations partnered with several local theaters as part of the Ò Go Digital or Go DarkÓ initiative to keep small town local theaters in business after top movie studios announced they would no longer be releasing movies in the classic 35-mm format. This required all theaters to transition to the digital format, a task easily done by larger theaters but ranging from challenging to virtually impossible for smaller, independent organizations, leading to many closing their doors for good.

In Schroon, the theater has been without movies over the summer months, instead putting on live events to help keep the space active while raising funds for the digital conversion.

“We are very indebted to Larry and Liz McNamara for holding on,Ó Snook said. Ò There have been live performances throughout the summer and the Adirondack Shakespeare Company has been performing on Fridays.Ó There have also been fundraising efforts and the farmerÕ s mar-

DINING

&ENTERTAINMENT

ket and other events.

For Snook, the mission to see the Strand survive is a personal one. Ò My family owned the theater from 1936 until 1982,Ó she said. Ò They had it all done in the style of the art-decco period. It has always been a seasonal theater that has done many communitybased events. There has always been a holiday show in December that goes back to my father in the 1950Õ s, and I am so glad to see the McNamaraÕ s continue that tradition.Ó To donate and receive a Ò I Helped Save the StrandÓ mug or shirt, visit the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce, Main Street, Schroon Lake.

Two cancer survivors, Carl Russell and Jorg Borowski, recalled their own battles with different forms of the illness, and came together to organize Rhonda Ride a motorcycle benefit and dinner to help ease the cost of RhondaÕ s compiling medical and household costs. Ò Jorg called me and asked me if I would organize the run,” said Russell. “I have done benefit bike runs in the past, and am happy to be orga-

nizing this one.”

Russell also said that this particular fundraiser is one that hits very close to home for him, being a leukemia lymphoma cancer survivor himself. Ò I have been there done that and so has Jorg,Ó said Russell. Ò If we can raise money to help out Rhonda thatÕ s what we are out to do, one hand washes the other around here.Ó Borowski seconded RussellÕ s statements stating that for Rhonda, much like himself, this disease came out of nowhere. Ò I made it through,Ó said Borowski. Ò Now every morning I wake up happy to help out anyone I can.Ó Barnes, a longtime employee of the Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing, daughter to Johanna Fish and mother to Megan Barnes, age 11, is a well-known member of Schroon and the surrounding region. Barnes is a private and humble person according to Donna Mellan, event organizer and friend. Ò Rhonda gives to anyone in need from the bottom of her heart,Ó said Mellan. Ò We need to

Schroon Lake Association to host meeting roon Lake Village. Ò This event is open to the public and presents a unique look into how three towns and two counties can work together to protect our watershed,Ó SLA Vice President and Town Board Member Roger Friedman said.

Schroon Supervisor Mike Marnell will report to the audience. Supervisors for Horicon and Chester are also invited. This will be followed by presentations and a panel discussion by local experts on the watershed.

Lake Manager Steve La Mere will lead off, followed by milfoil harvester Andrew Lewis of AIM, Bob Bombard and Jim Lieberum of Warren County Soil and Water and David Reckhan of Essex County Soil and Water.

These gentlemen are leading the fight to protect Sch-

roon Lake from invasives and pollution. LaMere has spent nearly two decades on the lake and serves as the SLAÕ s main advisor on Lake Management issues. Lieberum is managing the $175,000 project to reduce the flow of storm water runoff from Rt. 9 into the lake.

Lewis is conducting invasive harvesting in the lake under BombardÕ s supervision. Reckhan is also involved with battling runoff and pollutants at the northern end of the watershed. Ó It is a rare treat to have these dedicated and talented folks all together,Ó SLA President Mark Granger said. Ò They will also talk about next yearÕ s septic system pump out program for the northern end of Schroon Lake. Folks shouldnÕ t miss this chance to be informed and to ask questions.Ó

SCHROON Ñ Looking for the latest on the condition of the Town of Schroon and the status of the quality of Schroon Lake? Then come to the Schroon Lake AssociationÕ s Annual Meeting on Friday Aug. 8, at 8 p.m. at the Boathouse on Dock Street in Sch-

do the same for her.Ó BarnesÕ s diagnosis comes as a shock to Mellan and many others in her life. Ò About three weeks ago Rhonda was playing on a trampoline with friends when she started experiencing a bad pain and numbness in her leg,Ó Mellan said.

After a trip to the health center and an attempt at massage therapy Rhonda woke up this past Thursday with numbness in her face and leg. Friday Rhonda was admitted to Glens Falls hospital where a bone marrow graph confirmed it was indeed Myeloma Ñ a disease that effects red blood cells, cranial nerves and can cause a paralytic effect in extremities. Myeloma is not curable but in certain cases it can be managed with a stem cell transplant, something Barnes is in the process of scheduling. Ò This is a tough disease and typically Rhonda is a very private person,Ó Mellan said. Ò I asked her if someone wanted to do a benefit for her if she would be okay with that. Rhonda said Ô I am very private, but I am going to need help.Õ Ó

Ride details

The benefit is set for Aug. 16. Registration will take place at the Black Bear Restaurant in Pottersville at 11 a.m. A $10 donation per person is requested for the bike run, which will end at the Timberwolf Restaurant in Schroon at 4 p.m. A course for the run will be announced at a later date, coordinators estimate about a 3 hour ride.

A benefit spaghetti dinner, 50/50 raffle and silent auction will be held at the Timberwolf where a $10 donation for dinner is requested. Ò Helen Need at the Timberwolf is always here for anyone in need and is always doing benefits like this,” Mellan said. “For all of us Rhonda is not just a person, sheÕ s family.Ó

Blue Line Brewery founder Mark Gillis said the fair was a great opportunity to share his facility, which is on the border of Franklin and Essex counties in Saranac Lake, to folks across the county.

Gillis, whose products all include subtle nods to the area Ñ Black Flag IPA, Lake Flower Cream Ale and Red Rye IPW, to name three Ñ is the process of expanding his operation to include a five-barrel brew pub. Ò I canÕ t be too creative yet,Ó he laughed.

Essex Co. Fair to boast expanded midway, local breweries

pete@denpubs.com WESTPORT Ñ Area residents, farmers, agricultural workers, business owners and entertainers will congregate on the fairgrounds overlooking Lake Champlain for the 166th time this week for the annual Essex County Fair.

This yearÕ s festivities are notable for several new additions.

Alcohol

ItÕ s going to be a wet one. Essex County lawmakers approved a measure earlier this year that would allow alcohol to be served at the county-owned facility to fairgoers, mainly as a vessel to showcase local breweries and vineyards Ñ not as a magnet to attract inebriates. Ò The long-term goal is to give local breweries and wineries the opportunity to exhibit their products, just like anyone else,Ó Westport Supervisor Dan Connell said.

The process will be strictly regulated from purchase to consumption, he said. Merchants will be relegated to the upper part of the fairgrounds; a card reader will scan licenses to match photos with cardholders to prevent chicanery. Patrons will be limited in the number of drinks and no outside beverages will be allowed on the fairgrounds.

Officials also hope to showcase vineyards from different counties each year. This yearÕ s slot has been awarded to Hid-In-Pines in Morrisonville and PlattsburghÕ s Everett Orchards Farm Market and Cidery.

Local brewers include Paradox Brewery, the Great Adirondack Brewery, the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery and the Blue Line Brewery. Ò I think itÕ s just great to be promoting craft beer in the Adirondacks,Ó said Paradox head Paul Mrocka.

Brewing has been historically limited in the region, he said.

But the water is ideal. He uses a well that pushes water through solid granite, resulting in soft water similar to that found in the Czech Republic. Ò It makes a nice pilsner,Ó he said.

ACAP Continued from page 1 Aside from the practical component, there are other benefits, said ACAP staffers. ÒW e make sure weÕ re meeting needs of the children academically,Ó said Zmijewski. ÒE very activity has an education component to it.Ó Children with special needs receive much-needed socialization, while kids with high absenteeism are now coming to school because they enjoy the program, which in part, assists in correcting behavioral issues.

Zmijewski said the organization also places a strong emphasis on nutrition. If it wasnÕ t for the program, she said, some kids would go to bed hungry, nearly a fifth of whose participants receive SNAP benefits designed to augment food budgets for working class families.

Fifty-eight percent of the kids engaged in the now-defunct Moriah program were eligible for free and reduced lunch; Schroon Lake, 52 percent, and Westport, 46 percent. ÒWh en some of these kids get home, they donÕ t eat,Ó said Zmijewski. ÒW e know a third of those children at Moriah donÕ t have lunch and wonÕ t have anything else the rest of the day. Some of them ask if they can take food home for supper.Ó The costs of the program, funded in part by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, donÕ t appear to be exorbitant.

MoriahÕ s program costs $94,478 and employs eight staffers. Schroon, $48,899, while Westport needs $49,192 and employs four.

Monthly fees for the parents are $100, up from $75 last year.

The rate drops for families with more than one child enrolled but would skyrocket if parents were asked to hike the entire cost of the program. ÒW eÕ re willing to pay a little more,Ó said Eve Bailey, mother of a nine-year-old who attends Westport. ÒW eÕ re more than happy to pay a $25 increase.Ó ACAP did not ask for a tuition bump this year, said Bailey, whose son has attended the program since kindergarten. ÒI tÕ s the most convenient

program for us,Ó she said. ÒV era Martin and Colin Wells are fantastic with the kids.

They always have activities and it takes a lot of the evening stress off families.Ó School starts next month.

Bailey said she and her husband, who live in Wadhams, havenÕ t decided on a solution.

A local daycare tending to younger children is full, she said, and there are no other activities in the area, a refrain voiced by other parents and officials. Their only other option is a babysitter, but she lives outside of the district and isnÕ t included on Westport Central SchoolÕ s bus route. ÒI t really puts a burden on us,Ó said Bailey. ÒW e need to work full time. The program costs $1,050 per child each year, not a significant amount of money for the state budget. And quite frankly, itÕ s not a huge amount of income for those staff people, but itÕ s a job and means a lot to them.Ó The state budget this year is $144 billion. ÒW eÕ re struggling with making the public find great value in early childhood care,Ó said Jones. ÒW e obviously struggle with the funding. There were quite a few programs on the statewide level that requested funding and only $10 million to give out. It doesnÕ t take away the fact that there is a great need. We’re strategizing now on what thatÕ s going to look like.Ó For now, ACAP is arming parents with tips for preparing their children to be more independent at home and steering them to private child care solutions that may fit their needs.

While some parents can place their children in other facilities, there isnÕ t enough space to accommodate the 120 kids who will now be funneled into the private sector.

In Moriah, for instance, there are only four daycare providers, all of which are governed by capacity.

Child care programs and daycare providers are regulated by the state to ensure standards and procedures ensure the health, safety and developmental needs of children are always a priority, said Jones.

Those regulations were strengthened in May and gov-

Local food

Fairgoers will also get a sticky dose of sap through this yearÕ s maple theme.

Fair Secretary Bertha Rand said to expect a presence of various maple products, from cuisine to demonstrations at the facilityÕ s recently-renovated sugar house.

This yearÕ s featured business is the Parker Family Maple Farm, a West Chazy-based operation that has been in the maple business since 1889. Ò We wanted to support the maple industry and show that this is whatÕ s happening in Essex County,Ó Rand said.

Rand stressed horse and cattle shows continue to be the primary focus (pigs will not be displayed this year due to a virus) with an emerging emphasis on local agriculture. Ò The interesting thing is that our farms are becoming less dairy and more veggies and food products,” she said. “We’re figuring out a way to showcase that type of farming.Ó The fair board encouraged regional agricultural merchants to set up displays that will steer fairgoers to their farms and businesses.

Adirondack Harvest, the Cornell Cooperative Extension offshoot that aims to boost local products, will host a Taste of the Adirondacks tent daily from 2-4 p.m to showcase selected products. Those include habenero mustard from Boquet River Jelly Mill, rhubarb butter from Adirondack Rhubarb Traditions and a spread of cheddar from a pair of Chateaugay-based manufacturers from the Agri-Mark Cooperative that supply milk to Cabbot and McCadam

Fun, games, responsibility

Access to an expanded carnival with unlimited rides is included in admission ticket. Keeghan Nolan, a Vermont native who is now recording in Nashville, will perform on Wednesday, Aug. 13.

On Friday, HaulinÕ Junk, a Burlington-based scrap hauler, will facilitate a Figure 8 competition that will see compact cars tearing around a racetrack while Saturday will see racers attempting to destroy one another in the demolition derby.

Linda Gillilland, a resource educator with the 4-H educational youth development program, said her organization seeks to instill values in young participants through their projects.

About 80 kids will undergo a double-pronged presentation process.

The first, on Aug. 12, is internal and their projects are judged on the Danish system, one that looks at the merits of each undertaking, which may range from birdhouses to quiltmaking, on their individual merits.

The following day, participants are judged against everyone else as a group.

Kids will also participate in a long-running tradition: running a dairy bar, something that Gillilland said aims to give adolescents soft skills like taking orders and delivering items.

More importantly, she said, 4-H teaches socialization. Ò They work with other kids from across the county, kids they donÕ t have exposure to,Ó she said. Ò They learn responsibility and acceptance of their personal actions. Ò They may have been frustrated by building birdhouses, for example. But then they do it again and make it better.Ó She also stressed the virtues of teamwork. Ò The best fairs weÕ ve had when we have a disaster.Ó She cited a torrential downpour one year that forced kids to work together to bail out a flooded horse barn. Ò The dairy kids went down, saw the horses standing in water and started digging trenches and getting them out,Ó she said. Ò In adversity, they work together and communicate well.Ó Gillilland called the fair a crucial element of the countyÕ s history. Ò This is the tie that binds people and communities for generations.Ó

Pictured is AmeriCorps member Maria Bledsaw face painting at an ACAP AfterSchool year-end event. Students from Moriah, Westport, and Schroon Lake gathered for a day of activities, from making balloons with Phil Mero to doing Zumba with Anna Hayes. The children enjoyed a day of fun in celebration of the end of another productive year. Children also celebrated the completion of their fundraiser where the raised $3,500. Some of the funds went to support the year end event and after school. The rest of the funds, $1,700, went to Ronald McDonald House in Vermont. ern aspects like communication protocols with parents, napping on approved sleeping surfaces and minimizing the amount of television and media exposure to children Ñ or at least restricting it to education programing. ÒT he regulations are prohibitive, but are there for a reason,Ó said Mary Stanley, a senior social services worker with Essex County.

But the increased bureaucracy has inadvertently resulted in potential providers backing out, leading to additional stresses on the market.

Child care professionals receive specialized trainings and are required to complete 30 hours of ACAP-provided training every two years in order to maintain their license.

Daycare operations that aren’t certified are technically illegal and their presence is expected to multiply, said officials, including Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting. ÒT his is something weÕ d have to deal with a case-bycase basis,Ó h e said.

But first, his department would have to be aware of the issue, relaying on complaints filed with the Essex County Department of Social Services and stateÕ s child abuse hotline.

Echoing other officials, Cutting said leaving children unsupervised might lead to an increase in personal safety risks, ambulance calls and fires. Older children might get themselves into trouble. Proposed school resource officers, he said, would serve little help because like other school officials, their responsibilities are strictly delineated under contract. ÒT heyÕ re not babysitters,Ó he said.

Becky Cutting, no relation to Sheriff Cutting, said her two children have underlying disorders that would prevent them from being home alone.

The Moriah resident was fortunate enough to lock down a sitter. ÒI envision seeing more children left alone, latch-key kids,Ó she said. ÒM any older children are not always good role models and I think weÕ re going to see a lot of trouble happening.Ó Cutting worried about kids who will be forced to eat and do homework their homework by themselves. ÒI tÕ s going to take the entire town to step up and try to find a solution,Ó s he said.

Moriah Town Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said the closures would be devastating to

his community. ÒB y not operating this program, thereÕ s going to be single mothers who are going be forced to quit their job. This is going to have a significant impact on our community.

And itÕ s actually going to cost money in the long run because theyÕ ll be pushed into other county programs.Ó Essex County already lags behind the rest of the country in unemployment Ñ 8.7 percent compared to 6.2 percent Ñ

while the poverty rate, at 12.4 percent, is slightly below the national average of 15 percent.

John OÕ Neill, Commissioner for Essex CountyÕ s Department of Social Services, acknowledged a shift was possible. ÒI tÕ s a vicious cycle,Ó he said.

Scozzafava and O’Neill have joined other officials in ratcheting up lobbying efforts to save the program. ÒI tÕ s a huge loss,Ó said State Sen. Betty Little. ÒT he grants are extremely competitive and the unfortunate part is that there isnÕ t another opportunity to apply for two years. WeÕ re trying to find another grant and write a letter of support for any grant application they put in.Ó Former Westport Central School Superintendent John Gallagher said he was Òv ery disappointedÓ with the state and said he planned on writing a letter to Gov. Andrew Cuomo to voice his displeasure.

Moriah Superintendent Bill Larrow worried about a possible exodus from the district. ÒM any parents are scrambling to find daycare and work long hours in places like Burlington, Plattsburgh and Saratoga,Ó he said. ÒT hey go where the work is. I hope it doesnÕ t make individuals thinking about moving out of our community to get closer to their jobs.Ó ÒW eÕ re going backwards instead of forwards,Ó said Zmijewski. ÒA nd to me, thatÕ s so sad.Ó

Relay For Life ready for all night carnival in Crown Point

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com

The third annual Relay For Life in Crown Point will take place Saturday, Aug. 9, and continue into the morning hours the next day.

CROWN POINT — The carnival is coming to town, all to help fund the fight to find a cure for cancer.

The third annual Crown Point Relay For Life, to support the American Cancer Society, is set to take place starting Saturday, Aug. 9, 7 p.m. at the Crown Point Central School and run for 12 hours into the morning of Sunday, Aug. 10.

The 2014 theme is Ò Carnival for a Cure.Ó “We will have carnival-style games and food for sale to help benefit the American Cancer Society,” event organizer Anita Johnson, a cancer survivor, said. “There will be a track around the soccer field and we will have a DJ, games, events and contests throughout the night. Being a cancer survivor myself, this is a very important event to me.Ó Johnson said the night begins with a survivors walk with a number of people from the area who have battled against cancer. The opening remarks will be given by Ticonderoga resident and survivor Wendy Shaw.

Currently, 17 teams and 172 people have signed up for the relay event, with over $24,000 being raised for the ACS. Shaw herself is listed as the top individual participant in fundraising efforts, while the Rockin’ Oldies team has raised over $4,000 for the benefit.

“This is definitely a high point for us,” Johnson said. “In the three years, we have now raised over $95,000 total for the organization. We will bring in an additional $4-5,000 on that day from the on-site fundraising that happens.Ó For more information on the Relay For Life Crown Point event, contact Joan Sterling at 441-1818 or email joan.sterling@cancer.org.

Author brings book series to Crown Point encampment

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ The sounds of musket fire and scenes from days gone by will serve as the backdrop to a book signing this weekend at the Crown Point State Historic Site.

Author S. Thomas Bailey will be signing and talking about the first three books in his, Ò Gauntlet Runner Series,Ó at the former Fort St. Frederic in Crown Point from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 9-10, as part of the annual French and Indian War Encampment.

The book series is a fictional account of a familyÕ s trials and adventures woven into historical accounts from the French and Indian War. Ò These are the first three of seven books that will make up the series,Ó Bailey said. Ò The next book will be released in late Au-

gust. There is one book for each year of the French and Indian War and the final book will pull into the start of the American Revolution, which makes the books a great example of how the two wars are linked together.Ó Bailey has visited the area several times in doing research both for the book and as a general fan of history, with his maternal heritage linked to the MiÕ kmag Native Americans and surveyor James Cook, who began his career mapping out the St. Lawrence River system during the French and Indian War. Ò I have always wanted to do a signing or event in the area,Ó Bailey said. Ò I love the Ticonderoga and Crown Point area. You get the chance to see the layout of the land in this historic area and you can still get a feeling of what it was like back when these events were taking place.Ó The series has opened with the first three books: Ò The Gauntlet Runner,Ó Ò Shades of Death,Ó and Ò Forest Sentinels.Ó Bailey said

the fourth in the series will feature events at Fort William Henry.

Guests to the encampment will be able to see, hear, walk among and interact with the many volunteers who will spend the weekend portraying various people of Crown PointÕ s past. Visitors will want to bring a camera. Ò SutlersÓ (vendors) will show and sell their replica 18th century wares all weekend.

Crown Point offers a unique backdrop for this lively event, both geographically and historically. Before the 1730s, Woodland Indians camped on the peninsula. In 1734, the French military built an impressive stronghold here, Fort St. FrŽ dŽ ric, with its tall limestone tower and even a fortified and windpowered grist mill. A quarter-century later, when the British arrived in 1759, they added an even larger fort complex at Crown Point.

The limestone ruins of both the French-built fort and of the earthen walls and stone bar-

racks of the British fort, located on a point of land that juts into Lake Champlain, still offer an inspiring location that has remained largely unchanged since a devastating fire burned the British fort in 1773, only two years before the start of the War for American Independence.

The ruins are among the few remaining examples of pre-Revolutionary military construction in the United States and both fort ruins have been individually designated as Ò National Historic Land-marksÓ by the U.S. Department of the Interior, in recognition of their international importance.

Heritage Sunday to be observed

46863

CROWN POINT Ñ On Sunday, Aug. 17, at 9:30 a.m., almost 190 years from the time that The Reverend S.L. Herrick, Pastor of The First Congregational Church of Crown Point began holding Services in a rural portion of the community known as Ironville, current members and the pastor of First Congregational Church and the United Methodist Churches of Crown Point will join with the Penfield Historical Society and all those in attendance in a Heritage Day Service at the old Second Congregational Church Meeting House.

The church records show that at a Special Meeting of the Congregational Society, in 1846, Ò The Second Congregational Church of Crown Point,Ó was formed. Congregationalism, inheritors of the free spirit of the Separatists that left England aboard a tiny vessel called The Mayflower in 1620, came together as a Christian community to build a church home where all would feel welcome, where all had a voice in the path they believed God was directing them.

The faith of those early settlers, carved out of the wilderness of the Adirondacks, a church building in 1845 and Dedicated in October of that year. The building cost $1,600 and boasted a basement used for the education of itÕ s members and the community. It was a focal point of that small, growing community. It provided not only a place of Worship, but a communal center for meetings, times of joy and of loss, and great struggle during the early days of this area.

This special Service will bring together friends and families from the area. It will serve as a bridge from the days before electricity and electric organs to this time of computers and microchips.

Led by pastors David Hirtle of the First Congregational Church and Gregg Trask of the United Methodist Church, the Service will recall hymns (played on the historic Ò pumpÓ organ by Patricia Knapp), scriptures, prayers, anecdotal information and Messages for both children and the young at heart. Special music by the UMC Praise Group will fill the air as folks from all over join to worship. All of this will join not only tradition but the hearts of faith that sustained those original worshippers and still is relevant to this day.

Pastors Hirtle and Trask have issued a challenge on this particular Sunday. The friends and members of the Parish are to attempt to, Ò pack a pew,Ó with their own friends and family much as would have been done in the early days of worship here in the greater Crown Point area.

A coffee and fellowship event will follow the service.

Joe McGinness gives back with debut country album

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Since he was 13, Joe McGinness has been taking to the stage. Ò I started playing guitar at 9 years old, and played my first official show when I was 13,” the now 31-year old emerging country artist said. Ò I saw people dancing and applauding, I even made some money while doing what I loved. Been hooked ever since.Ó The Moriah and Middlebury native recently released his debut album, Ò ItÕ s Gonna Be a Good Night,Ó on iTunes, Google Play and online (joeMcGinness.net) and other digital outlets. His first single, one of six original songs from the album, was released in April, and has

sold over 7,000 copies digitally through iTunes, XBox, Amazon and Google Play.

Copies of the debut CD are also available at the Port Henry Mobil station, BoyeaÕ s Deli and the Moriah Country Club, among others. Ò Being the exclusive songwriter on the album, yes there is a theme,Ó McGinness said about the album. Ò My music is about everyday life and the important things in life. So I would say the theme is based around having a great time, enjoying life and finding love along the way.”

The album will also be used as a way to give back to the community, as $1 from the sale of each copy of the collection will go to the Ò Big Change Round Up For Kids,Ó a fundraiser for the Vermont ChildrenÕ s Hospital put on by local country music radio station WOKO

(9.89 FM). Ò IÕ ve always believed in helping people in need,Ó he said. Ò I have a great relationship with WOKO and they really do a great job taking care of their community and the childrenÕ s hospital. Watching them really influenced me to jump on board and do my part. Every bit of money raised plays a big role and could help save a life. Ten percent of all CD sales will go to this great fundraiser. It’s a win/win situation: people get to buy the album and give to a great cause at the same time.Ó McGinness created the album independently on a small label while shopping the songs to major record labels as well as professional management companies. Ò It took a team of great people to put this album together,Ó he said. Ò I certainly couldnÕ t have done it without their help. We all worked hard and swiftly to get this album complete with a deadline and it was completed in approximately one month.Ó McGinness has shared the stage with many

national country acts such as Josh Thompson, Lonestar, Neil McCoy and others. Ò Johnny Cash, George Jones, Brad Paisley, Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean certainly would be influences in my eyes for country music,” he said. Ò However, I listen to all genres and they all have something to offer to style of my writing and performing.Ó He also credited his family with having a huge influence on his music career. Ò My mother and father, aunts, uncles and cousins on both sides of the family all can play and sing well,Ó he said. Ò They all played in a family band growing up and I was lucky enough to be around it and absorb as much as I could. My two older brothers and I practiced intensely growing up and eventually started our first band. In fact my Brother Steve McGinness plays in bands to this day.Ó For more information on McGinness and the album, Ò ItÕ s Gonna Be a Good Night,Ó visit joeMcGinness.net or his Page, under Ò Joe McGinness.Ó

‘Angel of Hope’ garden moves forward in Port Henry

PORT HENRY Ñ For the past several months there has been a buzz of discussion surrounding the construction of a garden and park being placed behind town hall for families who have lost a loved one.

As of last week, a bright yellow sign has been placed in front of the town hall reading Ò The Angel of Hope,Ó signifying the beginning stages of the project have come to fruition.

OBITUARIES

The Angel of Hope statue was first introduced by a book entitled Ò The Christmas Box,Ó written by Richard Paul Evans. Ò The Lake Champlain Memorial Garden & Angel of Hope Monument is being created to become a peaceful place for grieving parents, families, and friends of children who have died Ñ before or after birth, young or old; to mourn, heal and remember their loved one,Ó Luci Carpenter, who is spearheading the project, said.

She emphasizes that this is not just a place to mourn for young children. The Angel of Hope represents all children who have passed away, regardless of age. Ò This is for everybody. The angel and garden represent hope, peace and sanctuary for all who have lost a loved one, child to adult,Ó she said. Ò After all, we are all someoneÕ s child.Ó However, like most projects in small communities, The Angel of Hope garden is funded entirely by donations and constructed mostly by volunteers. A fundraising event, Ò Lend a Hand, Clear the Land,Ó will occur late August with a set date is still to be announced. For this event there will be a call to volunteers to bring their rakes, shovels, hoes, and any sort of gardening tools as well as their time in order to ready the land for the actual garden that will be placed.

Donations can be made by purchasing bricks or a bench which will be maintained periodically through out the year.

However, the cause is not just looking for monetary donations, but donations of time and even items such as top soil, gravel, and even perennial plants. There has been an attempt to form a formal committee for the project Ñ this committee would assist in fund raising ideas, decisions, etc Ñ but to no avail. Those who would like to be a part of this committee for this cause or if interested in Memorial Brick Paver order forms as well as information concerning how to complete a donation, this may be obtained by contacting Luci Carpenter at 572-6427.

The project itself will occur in phases; the first goal consisting of placing the bronze angel and benches within the garden. Seeding the other parts of the garden and constructing the labyrinth will come later with time. The angel and the start of the garden will hopefully be installed and put into motion by the end of October. As of now, it is hoped that the park will be open and available for people year round. Once the angel has been placed, plans of a dedication ceremony will be underway.
