WHAT IS YOUR GUESS?

Moriah leaders seek long term planning goals keith@denpubs.com

MORIAH Ñ Town leaders are looking for the best ways to rebuild an aging infrastructure while keeping taxes as stable as possible for residents.

Town councilman Tim Garrison recently submitted a plan to members of the board detailing his vision for long range planning in the town over a 10-year period. Ò For six years I have been pushing the idea of actually establishing and adopting a Town wide plan,Ó Garrison said. Ò As with anything, change is tough, no matter how positive it would be. Infrastructure is the number one priority. Without a solid infrastructure, the rest is a mute point.Ó Garrison said the town is in the same sorts as many local municipalities. Ò We have the same issues in our town as all towns do,Ó he said. Ò All of the infrastructure is aging and falling apart. Our town board has been good at identifying these issues and addressing them. I would like to take this one step further and map out the when? The cost? The means?Ó Ò One of the huge needs in the replacement of the main for Water District I,Ó Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said.

Water to finally flow from Streetroad well

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ After over a year of technical glitches and reset timetables, the water is now flowing from the Streetroad well.

Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell said the town and Layne Christensen Co., contractors for the drilling site, had been able to conduct successful tests recently. Ò We were able to pump two million gallons a day

for three days and to my knowledge, there was no effects on any of the surrounding wells,Ó Grinnell said.

We will now be able to move forward on a design report for the new system.Ó Grinnell said the test bodes well for the new well and for getting the new water system up and running.

In August, the town and contractor signed to drill the Streetroad well, The Layne Christensen Co., resolved issues over a February malfunction to resume the work.

The settlement allowed the town to continue to use the services of the AES engineering firm, who had stopped work on the project over concerns they could not validate numbers for state reports.

Due to the issues, the New York State Department of Health had also granted an extension for the project to be completed.

Trouble at the well site began in February when a casing for the well sheered off.

Ticonderoga students reconnect with former exchange classmate

several different questions. One asked how the Spanish media was covering the recent terrorist attacks on the French magazine, Charlie Hebdo.

Maquedano said it had been the main story on television for the past week.

One asked about the differences between Bilbao and Ticonderoga. Another asked if Maquedano had seen the latest Hunger Games movie (she has not, but has the book), while another asked what American popular music performers are also popular in Spain (Maquedano said she listened to Pitbull and One Direction). Ò I think it is amazing,Ó Maquedano said of her weekly chats. Ò I miss all of them so much.

With all the new technology it is great we are able to do this.Ó Maquedano said she missed a lot of things about her former school and homes, including her host family (the Harvey family), going out to eat pizza and watch movies on Friday nights, participating in Drama Club and her membership in, Ò the Nerd Herd.Ó “We miss having her here,” said Emily Powers. Ò It is great to see her.Ó Ò ItÕ s different because we are not seeing her in the hallways but it is nice to talk with her again,Ó said Kodi McCoy. Members of the SUNY Spanish class include Alex Mosier, Brianna Bezio, Powers, Casey Raymond, Wiebke Stedler, Aaron Russell and McCoy.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear her voice. Especially around 10:30 a.m. Thursday mornings.

That is when Maquedano re-connects with her Sentinel community from her home in Bilbao, Spain, thanks to high-speed internet and Skype.

The conversation takes place during the SUNY Spanish course, lead by teacher Lynne Lenhart.

“When they here someone speaking ‘Ticonderoga Spanish,Õ it is different from when they get the chance to hear Spanish from someone who was raised to speak the language and has done so their entire life,Ó Lenhart said. Ò There is nothing better than an authentic conversation.

This is also a great chance for Laura to talk with some of her friends from her time in Ticonderoga.Ó The weekly Skype Spanish conversation, where the students ask questions of Maquedano in her native language, started in early January with the purpose of using technology to develop Spanish speaking and listening proficiency.

“It’s a chance for the students to take a virtual trip to Spain during the morning college credit class,Ó Lenhart said.

to communicate in real time with the native speaker of Spanish. The curriculum gives specific topics to use for discussions, while also

permitting the opportunity for informal chats between the Ticonderoga students and Laura.

Fort Ti purchases Carillon Cruise boat TICONDEROGA Ñ Fort Ticonderoga announced it has purchased the Carillon cruise boat, formerly located on the shores of Lake Champlain in Shoreham, Vt. Waterway tours will be offered by Fort Ticonderoga beginning in the spring of this year.

The acquisition of the boat is part of a larger Fort Ticonderoga waterway recreation and transportation initiative that is anticipated to continue to develop over the next several years. Ò Fort Ticonderoga is thrilled to have the opportunity to expand its cultural destination experience to the internationally significant waters of Lake Champlain. The lake is a tremendous asset for our region and with Fort TiconderogaÕ s two miles of shoreline and story that is intricately linked to Lake Champlain, the development of a water experience is an obvious next step in our program development,Ó said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga President and CEO. Ò Thanks in part to a New York Empire State Development grant and other generous supporters, Fort TiconderogaÕ s waterway experience will expand our tourism demographic, increase the length of stay of our guests, connect our historic properties on both sides of Lake Champlain, and highlight TiconderogaÕ s epic story in a new and exciting way. We are particularly enthusiastic about this project as it is directly linked with a Town of Ticonderoga priority to increase access and waterway experiences through tourism development.Ó Ò We are extremely pleased to acquire this iconic vessel,Ó said Sanford W. Morhouse, Fort Ticonderoga Chairman of the Board. Ò My wife and I were privileged to be guests of Captain Paul Saenger and his wife Rene, the CarillonÕ s prior owners, on Captain PaulÕ s last Carillon cruise prior to his passing. Captain Paul clearly wanted the boat to stay in the southern part of Lake Champlain, and we at Fort Ticonderoga are exceedingly pleased that we will fulfill that wish while greatly enhancing the Fort Ticonderoga experience.Ó The Carillon boat, a replica of a 1920s 1000 Islands cruise boat, is a 60 foot luxury vessel previously owned by Paul and Rene Sanger. The Saengers owned and operated the boat from a dock in Shoreham, Vt., offering scenic and educational tours in southern Lake Champlain that highlighted the regionÕ s history, beauty, and nature. Fort Ticonderoga plans to finalize ownership of the boat this spring as it builds plans for waterway tours on Lake Chaplain for the 2015 season.

Fort Ticonderoga recently received a funding in the latest round of the New York State Regional Economic Development grant awards. The grant was awarded to Fort Ticonderoga to support the first phase of development in a waterway transportation and recreation system. Specifically, the funding will be used to construct a dock. Fort Ticonderoga continues to seek philanthropic support to fund the development of this waterway initiative and related educational programs.

Ticonderoga Distinguished Young Woman program planned for April TICONDEROGA Ñ For more than 50 years, young women in the senior class at Ticonderoga High School have had the opportunity to participate in the Distinguished Young Women (and formerly Junior Miss) scholarship program. Despite the long-standing tradition of a celebration held the first weekend in November, changes at the state-level program now require a new timeline for local area programs across New York State.

Instead of state finals being held during the winter of the studentÕ s senior year, the New York state program will now be held in August before the start of the studentÕ s senior year of high school. This change in timeline mirrors the timeline of many other state-level programs across the country. Though the Class of 2015 representative Lillith Ida was just selected in November, TiconderogaÕ s representative for the Class of 2016 will now be selected Saturday, April 18. Future local programs will also be held during the spring of the studentsÕ Junior year.

Local chairperson Tracey Cross-Baker and the volunteer committee have already started to plan ahead for this next program. While excited at this chance to involve a new group of students with this scholarship program, the committee does recognize this is a significant change for the community. Ò We certainly know this is far sooner than most Juniors had anticipated; these young women already have a full slate of classes, activities, and work in their schedules. We do, however, remain deeply committed to keeping this program Ð this tradition Ð alive in well in Ticonderoga.Ó There will be an Information Meeting for any interested young woman (and her parents/ guardians) Wednesday, Jan. 28, at 7 p.m. in the Ticonderoga High School auditorium. Anyone with questions can reach Tracey Cross-Baker at 585-2525 for more information.

Ti water Continued from page 1 Ò Rarely does a well casing sheer off like this one did,Ó Grinnell said. Ò It was really an unexpected event. We now have to drill a new casing and then have to seal the well.Ó Last year, Grinnell said the proper completion of the well was crucial in order to provide the numbers the state needed in an engineering design report. Ò We are going to match the state timeline up with the one that the contractor gives us,Ó Grinnell said. Ò We need that work done to give them the proper numbers they need to move forward in an engineering design report.Ó More water project issues had residents concerned in November, when a water report issued through the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stated Ticonderoga had failed to provide proper treatment for Cryptosporidium at its

Gooseneck Pond source, a single-celled protozoan parasite commonly found in lakes and rivers, especially when the water is contaminated with sewage and animal waste. Ò This (was) part of the new regulations with the EPA that says all uncovered water sources need to be filtered,” Grinnell said.

“What they are saying is we need to filter the water with ultraviolet treatment if we continue to use Gooseneck Pond as a water supply source.Ó The report was issued because the town of Ticonderoga failed to meet the timeline for the installation of proper filtration at Gooseneck.

Shortly after, drilling was completed on the Streetroad well site, and testing was scheduled, with results coming in recent weeks.

It takes more than boats to float a marina

W

ord on the street is there is a rebirth afoot in downtown Plattsburgh. Politicians have been talking and talking about bringing a city-run marina to downtown.

The most forward progress that the project has seen to date happened just a week ago when the Common Council voted a kingÕ s ransom to buy new docks and turn the operation over to the Montreal-based Navtours.

If the marina does come to pass, new businesses will immediately spring up in the city’s downtown, weÕ re promised.

But what kind of new businesses will come?

Businesses need space close to where these new boaters will be tying up. The space immediately around the marina however, with scant few exceptions, is residential space.

The main problem then becomes logistics.

Are boaters going to leave their boats at the new marina and walk past the only restaurant close by, the Naked Turtle, to walk to other downtown restaurants a half mile away?

Do they come now from the current marina, the Plattsburgh Boat Basin?

Will they even know what downtown businesses are within Ò walking distanceÓ of the marina?

And is your average recreational boater going to head out in flip-flops, take the lengthy walk up past the train station, hang a right and trudge down a fairly uninviting sidewalk, just to get to the outskirts of the business district proper?

Are they going to shop at all the Ò boutiqueÓ stores which are yet to be built, and trudge their parcels back this same way?

What the city needs to go hand in hand with the new marina is a city-run shuttle service to bring boaters, the overwhelming majority of which will be well-heeled Canadians, to the scant downtown shopping and dining corridor as it currently stands.

The city can sell ad space on the shuttle itself, and publish maps and brochures, available at the marina and on the shuttle, to downtown businesses. This will help defray the costs to the city to run the shuttle and give aggressive businesses a leg up on their competitors.

It is an anathema in Plattsburgh to liken any planned changes in the city to what Burlington currently offers, but why not talk about a city whose marina brings proven results?

Dock in Burlington, and the city simply invites the boater to come in and shop. ItÕ s about the same distance of a walk, but nautical shoppers know what theyÕ re going to get: a nice walk to good stores in a vibrant downtown environment.

Which brings us to the other thing that the city needs to encourage, which will supposedly go

hand in hand with the new marina as the promise goes: Good, higher-end downtown businesses.

In the past few years, however, this has been anything but the trend in Plattsburgh.

A casual stroll along downtown streets shows only two types of businesses which seem to be thriving: Secondhand stores and tattoo parlors... not exactly magnets for up-scale Canadian shopping dollars.

On Margaret Street alone, one canÕ t swing a dead cat and not hit either one or the other types of establishments.

Granted, tattoos have become mainstream in American culture and don’t attract the type of riffraff that their former stigma implied, but the jury is certainly out as to how many Canadian boaters will make the trek up the hill for some new ink.

We can pretty much go out on a limb and guarantee that very few will be shopping for some secondhand DVDs or a samurai sword to bring back to their half-million dollar boats.

Sure, Pawn Stars is currently one of the most popular shows on television, but that doesnÕ t mean that PlattsburghÕ s thrift stores will be able to capitalize on this trend and attract Canadian shoppers.

Those holding the reins of power in the city seem to think that just bringing more boaters to the Plattsburgh shores will bring good business to the downtown.

But the opposite could likely be the case: Shoppers go to stores, not stores to shoppers. If the city can’t find some way to entice good businesses to locate downtown before the boaters come, the boaters will never make it any further than the Turtle... that is, if they choose to dock at PlattsburghÕ s new marina at all.

All this pre-supposes that the project will come together in time for this yearÕ s boating season.

By spring, itÕ s all but too late. Boaters reserve their dock space months, if not years, in advance.

If PlattsburghÕ s docks are going in the water in, say, June, itÕ s just too late to salvage this season.

Then itÕ s back to the drawing board and another lost year of possibilities.

The prospects thus far don’t seem to be too confidence inspiring, as the current council wrestles with a reputation for extreme political ennui.

They could turn that all around, however, if the next two months see the council chambers turned into a beehive of activity between the city and Navtours, working on the three-legged-stool of marina, shuttle bus and good downtown businesses.

Not much time will be needed to tell. ÑD

A history of litigation To the Times of Ti: What follows is an abbreviated history of the litigation concerning the Adirondack Club.

The witches brew of half-truths and misinformation served by preservationists of all pretentions at public meetings, in anonymous comments and postings and in countless interviews and press releases were as much part of the litigation as any pleading. Like the litigation, the propaganda war was intended to cause delay, increase costs, decrease profits, chill investor interest and poison the well of public opinion.

The preservation groups and their apologists have tried to justify the litigation by proclaiming high motives, the existence of serious issues and dedication to science.

Nonsense.

They could never have had a reasonable expectation of winning in court. It appears clear they simply wanted to bleed the community and us dry. In laymanÕ s terms, a frivolous lawsuit is one without any legal merit. Every court that considered the merits found the lawsuits filed by Protect and the Sierra Club to be without merit.

We submit that the question for your readers and their elected representatives is not whether the suits were an attempt to prevent

economic opportunity for residents of the Adirondack Park. Anyone who looks at the record of Protect will see the answer to that.

The real question is whether special interest groups should be allowed to inflict intentional damage on the community with impunity simply because they claim to be acting in the public interest.

It is one thing to let them state their opinions at a hearing like everyone else. It is entirely another to give them standing to litigate and the ability to game the judicial system without risk. They have no incentive to behave reasonably.

That said, here is the promised chronology: 2004 and 2005 - A conceptual review by the APA board that Òen couragedÓ us to proceed with the Adirondack Club (ÒA CRÓ) application.

January 2007 - The Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks (ÒA ssociationÓ) , the ResidentsÕ Committee to Protect the Adirondacks (“Residents’ Committee”) and some neighbors filed an Article 78 proceeding challenging actions taken by the Town Board in September 2006 rezoning the ACR site.

November 2, 2007 - The Supreme Court dismissed the Article 78 proceeding and a related action.

November 27, 2007 - The Association and the Residents’ Committee appealed the November 2, 2007 Supreme Court decision to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court.

July 2, 2009 - The Appellate Division affirmed the Supreme Court decision.

January 31, 2012 Ð After years of staff review and completion of an adjudicatory hearing as well as a series of public meetings; the Adirondack Park Agency (ÒA PAÓ) board approved the application of the ACR by a 10 to 1 vote.

March 20, 2012 Ð Protect (the surviving entity after the merger of the Association and the ResidentsÕ Committee) and the Sierra Club filed a new Article 78 with the Supreme Court, Albany County seeking to annul the APA boardÕ s 10 to 1 vote.

June 18, 2012 – Protect and the Sierra Club filed an amended Article 78 petition with the Supreme Court, Albany County.

July 20, 2012 - The Supreme Court, Albany County transferred the proceeding to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court.

September 2012 – Protect and the Sierra Club filed a motion with the Appellate Division seeking disclosure of numerous documents and permission to depose what could have been more than 150 individuals including each APA board member, the Governor and members of his executive staff.

November 21, 2012 – Protect and the Sierra Club filed a separate Article 78 in Warren County challenging the APA response to a Freedom of Information Law (ÒF OILÓ) request made by Protect and the Sierra Club.

November 29, 2012 Ð The Appellate Division denied the September motion for disclosure by Protect and the Sierra Club and remitted the proceeding to the Supreme Court, Albany County.

March 19, 2013 Ð The Supreme Court, Albany granted ProtectÕ s motion for disclosure to a very limited extent and denied all other requests describing the overall motion as a Òw ide ranging, unfocused and intrusive inquiryÓ.

April 8, 2013 Ð The Supreme Court, Albany County once again transferred the amended Article 78 proceeding to the Appellate Division.

May 16, 2013 Ð The Appellate Division granted Protect and the Sierra ClubÕ s motion to appeal from the Supreme CourtÕ s order denying discovery and consolidated the appeal with the amended Article 78 proceeding.

July 3, 2014 - The Appellate Division, in a 5 to 0 decision, found Protect and the Sierra ClubÕ s contentions in its June 18, 2012 amended Article 78 petition to be without merit and dismissed the petition. The amended petition was 153 pages and alleged 29 causes of action claiming substantive and procedural violations of the APA Act, the Freshwater Wetlands Act, APA regulations and the State Administrative Procedures Act; all of which were found to be without merit.

August 4, 2014 Ð Having lost in court, Protect and the Sierra Club filed a motion asking the Appellate Division for permission to appeal the April decision by the Appellate Division.

September 16, 2014 Ð The Appellate Division, in a 5 to 0 decision, denied that permission to Protect and the Sierra Club.

October 2014 – Protect and the Sierra Club filed a motion asking the Court of Appeals to allow them to appeal the April 2014 decision of the Appellate Division to the Court of Appeals.

December 17, 2014 Ð The Court of Appeals denied permission to appeal to Protect and the Sierra Club.

Every one of those actions taken by the preservationists cost the State, the community, the developers and your readers money.

The direct costs were in the millions of dollars. It is hard to even estimate the damage done to the local communities, schools, businesses and residents by the delay.

In all probability, every dollar spent by the preservationists on staff, lawyers and PR was deducted from some donorÕ s taxes, i.e., paid involuntarily by your readers. At the least, the preservationists should be required to reimburse the State of New York for its expenses.

Real issue is ACR To the Times of Ti: With the (rightfully deserved) ongoing furor over DenpubsÕ Editorial BoardÕ s recent editorial gaffe, letÕ s not forget that the real issue is the ACR project itself. Monster Developments such as the ACR do not belong in the Adirondacks. Period.

Does anyone on your board really understand, or care about, the SIZE of the ACR project? The ACR project is HUGE! 6000 acres sounds like only a tiny innocuous fraction of the 6,000,000 acres of the Adirondack Park and doesnÕ t look like much on paper or while youÕ re having a beer at a bar. But what does 6,000 acres of developed land actually look like in real life?

6,000 ACRES is approximately 9 3/8 sq miles - 15.63 times the size of that already-ugly mountain Disneyland – Coney Island mess Lake George village at only 0.6 sq mi!

6,000 acres is a new stand-alone city 9 3/8 miles long and 1

mile wide!

6,000 acres is a city almost 2 1/2 times the size of Glens Falls and nearly the size of Troy at 11.58 sq mi!

6,000 acres is a city 7 times the size of NYCÕ s Central park and almost 28 percent the size of Manhattan!

6,000 acres is a city 6.25 times the size of Lake Placid village at only 1.5 sq mi!

But, wait. There’s more!

Make no mistake about it. As soon as the smoke clears, the ACR developers will try to squeeze as many revenue-producing further developments into those original 9 3/8 sq mi. If they could get away with it, developers would love to Ó Manhattanize” the ’dacks – no matter what they may say to the contrary!

After that, on to the next development; then the next, and so on because that’s all they know. You ain’t seen nothing yet!

The argument that jobs will be created -- and especially that new tax revenues will be generated in an economically distressed area -- ARE NOT VALID REASONS TO DESTROY THE ADIRONDACKS BY INTENSIVELY PROMOTING MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT AND POPULATION GROWTH. Clearly, some people would like to see the Adirondacks as the next big real estate investment opportunity. (WeÕ ve already worked about as much as we can out of Westchester, Dutchess, Columbia and the Capital District and donÕ t forget Nassau, Suffolk and the Hamptons, either.)

THE ADIRONDACKS ARE NOT AN INVESTMENT OPPPORTUNITY! THE ADIRONDACKS ARE A SPECIAL PLACE! ItÕ s probably safe to say that most residents of the Ô dacks choose to live there because they love the area because of what it is Ð pristine and beautiful. They are not an ”anything goes” freefor- all creeping growth wasteland for opportunistic developers who care nothing for the Adirondacks and their residents despite what they may say to the contrary Ð and those are carefully considered words.

DonÕ t believe it can happen to the Adirondacks? The next time you visit California, come to Half Moon Bay and I will personally show you how creeping growth has destroyed a once beautiful coastal paradise. IÕ ll even go further and show you how the entire San Francisco Bay Area has been destroyed by Ó creeping growth.Ó Is this what Denton Publications wants for the Adirondacks?

David Safrany Half Moon Bay, Calif.

Lawsuits misguided, damaging To the Times of Ti: Several years ago, I was a member of one of the predecessors to Protect the Adirondacks.

I have since refused to join Protect the Adirondacks because of their radical stance against the housing development near Tupper Lake.

As a conservationist, I believe that only when the people of a region have a part in conserving that region will they be willing to listen. That is why I have been a member for over 15 years of the Nature Conservancy and the Adirondack Mountain Club, and a founding member of the Wild Center.

Suing the APA to prevent the people of the Tupper Lake area from benefiting from economic development because of a belief that this organization had somehow failed to uphold the laws governing The Adirondack Park was a misguided and damaging act to the preservation of support for our beloved Park.

As a long time resident of the Park, I would suggest that Protect the Adirondacks check what percentage of the Park landowners belong to their organization. I spent several hours listening to and talking with Peter Bauer at an annual meeting of the Residents Committee to Protect the Adirondacks in the late 2000s.

He appeared to be a good man who believed his philosophy and actions would strengthen support for the preservation of the wild nature of the Adirondacks; I do not.

Joseph D. Dumoulin, Jay

Bravo, Denton Publications To the Times of Ti: Bravo to Denton Pubs for their editorial exposing Ò Protect the Adirondacks” for the Adirondacker-hating, environment-destroying, economy-destroying group they are!

Bravo to the Essex County Board of Supervisors for their endorsement and support of this editorial. Finally some folks are waking up to just what this organization is. Ever since its creation they have done everything possible to destroy the Adirondacks, destroy all jobs, destroy our native brook trout, and destroy all outdoor recreation including fishing, hunting, trapping, and snowmobiling.

Where are the rest of the supervisors doing in standing up to these and other activist groups?

We are all well aware that they lie when in conferences. We have all seen that Cuomo and Martens lie about public access, especially for our sportsmen, disabled veterans, wounded warriors, and the less than physically fit. We have seen their lies in the Chain of Lakes were they are reneging on parking lots, vehicle and boat launch access to the lakes, motorized access to the existing roads, and on opening snowmobile trails.

We have seen their lies in Franklin County. Now we are seeing their lies in the Great South Woods Project. Once again, the lies of these activists come to the front as they move to destroy all outdoor recreation, destroy all economic development, destroy all access, and destroy the related jobs.

It is time for all these supervisors to stand up, defend and support their local people, and reject these activists and their puppets Cuomo and Martens.

It is time to demand all the lands of the Great South Woods (Essex, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Oneida, Saratoga and Warren counties) be excluded from the forest preserve and from the APA jurisdiction.

It is time to demand the legislature amend Article 14 to be restricted to those lands above 3,000 feet only. It is time to remove Cuomo and Martens and their activist masters from all Adirondack issues.

Geography Bee held at Ticonderoga Middle School

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Middle School recently held the 2015 Geography Bee contest on Wednesday, Dec. 17.

Ten contestants representing grades 6-8 participated in the local bee. Those participating were Katie Shelmidine, Thomas Belden, Jack Grinnell, John Wright, Matthew Maneri, Carson Reeves, Ethan Hill, Derek Joiner, Carter Dedrick, and Vivian Porter. Superintendent of Schools Dr. John McDonald moderated the bee. Retired Ticonderoga Social Studies teacher Bill Barnhart presided as the judge and timekeeper.

The 10 contestants were asked individual questions and were eliminated after incorrectly responding to two questions. The Bee lasted several rounds before only two finalists remained for the championship round. The championship round pitted Katie Shelmidine against Vivian Porter. Both students were asked the same three questions and the student with the most correct answers was declared the winner.

Both students got the first question correct and the second question incorrect. However, Porter answered the final question correctly and became the winner of the 2015 Geography Bee. Second place went to Katie Shelmidine, third place to Ethan Hill.

Porter will now take a written exam in hopes of being selected to compete at the New York State Geography Bee contest in Albany March 27. One hundred students from across New York State will be selected and the winner of the state bee will receive an all expenses paid trip to the 27th annual National Bee in Washington D.C. on May 11. The first place national champion will receive a $50,000 college scholarship, a lifetime membership in the National Geographic Society including a subscription to National Geographic magazine, and a trip to the Galapagos Islands courtesy of Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic.

Phone collection to benefit STOP

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union (TFCU) will hold a cell phone drive this January and February.

Used or unwanted cell phones donated at TFCU branches will be given to the STOP Domestic Violence Center of Essex County where they will be turned into Emergency 911 phones for women in need. Several hundred phones have been collected through TFCUÕ s previous drives. Ò WeÕ re honored to support this important cause in our community,Ó said Shawn Hayes, TFCU President and CEO. Ò By donating your old cell phone in this way youÕ re not only recycling, you may also be providing a vital lifeline to someone in need.Ó To participate, simply bring your old cell phones, chargers and accessories in any condition from any provider and drop them in the collection bins at any of the Credit UnionÕ s three branch locations located in; Ticonderoga, Port Henry and Elizabethtown during regular business hours.

Before donating, make sure you have terminated your service contract or replaced your device, erased all data on the phone including contacts, texts, photos and removed the SIM card (if it has one). Tips for deleting your cell phoneÕ s data can be found at the credit unionÕ s website tfcunow.com in the FAQ section.

You may also refer to your userÕ s manual or contact your service provider or phone manufacturer for data removal instructions.

The staff at the STOP Domestic Violence Center will take steps to remove data from the phones prior to redistribution, however doing so yourself will help expedite the process and ensure that the phone’s data has been cleared. Any superfluous phones the Center cannot use will be recycled, with the proceeds from recycling also benefiting the Center.

Daydreams, schemes and other such things

A

s I peer out the back porch window, there are thick frost flowers clouding my view.

Although itÕ s still midwinter, my thoughts drift off to more pleasant days ahead, when spring flowers will burst in the sugarbush, and an eveningÕ s troll across a still, Adirondack trout pond provide as perfect ending to a long Spring day.

A chill races up my spine as I daydream of pulling on the oars of my guideboat, while a rod tip dances off the stern.

I take a moment to check the wall calendar, which quickly snaps me back to reality, as it appears there are still four, solid months to go until the ponds begin to shed their icy cap.

Another daydream soon transports me off to a leaf-covered ridge, where I am in the process of tracking a big whitetail in the deep, heavy snow.

HeÕ s dragging his hooves, and it appears heÕ s beginning to slow down...I might just get a look at him

Kill Shot rifles would be ideal for hunters seeking the thrill of the hunt without the need for an actual kill.

when.... I’m jolted back to reality.

Damn!

IÕ d much rather be chasing a big, hoof dragging buck than pecking on a stupid keyboard...and then it hits me, and its an idea that is sure to make a million bucks.

I’m going to design a rifle that will capture a digital photograph of the hunt. IÕ ll design it with a built in camera and a shutter mounted in the scope.

For purposes of reality, the rifle will be chambered to fire a .30 caliber blank round, so the kick and report will be authentic. It will have the same sights, sounds and smell of an actual deer rifle.

The actual camera lens will feature crosshairs, which will make it easy to determine where an actual shot would have hit the animal.

It will likely revolutionize sport hunting, and provide hunting enthusiasts with an opportunity to experience the thrill of the kill with no actual harm done.

Best of all, the hunts could be hosted all year round; providing a sensible utilization of natural resources in the same vein as catch and release anglers take fish and release them.

Hunters could hone their skills, and non-hunters could get an authentic taste of the sport without actually killing an animal.

It would be marketed in the same vein as catch and release fishing, and it could provide the answer to year round hunting tourism.

I was already in the process of making plans for what to do with all the money that would soon begin pouring in, as I entered terms such as no-kill rifle, and camera guns and digital rifle scopes into the search engine of my computer.

Much to my surprise, I got a hit, and then another. The webpages described a concept gun known as the Harmless Hunter Ò KillShotÓ which would allow people of all ages to get outdoors, explore, and discover a recreational pastime that has existed throughout our history.

The non-weapon, hunting tool would document the hunt and capture the Ò KillShotÓ with a digital photo and provide a digital video trophy.

According to the website, Ò It could be used year round when game is out of season to satisfy the lust for hunting while getting you ready for the harvest season. The cross hairs will show on the photo where

Times of Ti • January 24, 2015 | 9 the shot would have been, the background will show if the shot was safe or unsafe.

It could be used to help teach gun safety by operating like a lethal hunting rifle, except, it takes pictures and fires no projectiles.

The power button is in the position of a safety and will only take pictures when power is on.

It will teach Ethical shot placement and the sport of hunting all in one! You will be able to post Ò KillShotsÓ on a website that will come with the rifle. Share photos, talk about hunts, and tell the story of how you managed to use the skills needed to silently pursue and get within range unnoticed, to capture your wild game KillShot, which can be stored on an SD card and downloaded to your computer via a USB cable. Ò Damn itÓ , I muttered under my breath, Ò Some SOB already stole my idea.Ó Then I realized the idea was just that. The rifle was still in the fabrication stage, and the web page was actually a plea for a Kickstarter campaign seeking investors to help cover the cost of developing a prototype rifle.

“There is still hope”, I thought, until I realized the Kick Starter effort was already four years old and it still had not received enough funding to produce a single rifle. Maybe it wasn’t such a great idea after all.

Although I’ll probably not strike it rich guiding digital rifle deer hunting excursions, it is interesting to note that Adirondack Optics, a scope manufacturer based in Keeseville has been producing high tech, digital camera scopes for some time.

However, IÕ ll need to start my own Kick Start Campaign to come up with the funds to purchase a digital scope from an Adirondack Optic, which currently sell in the range of $1700, plus shipping for the basic model.

AO’s scopes were initially developed for use by military and police snipers, and they have earned an outstanding reputation for durability and reliability.

So now I’m off to my next hair-brained idea, which involves trying to figure out a way to shoot paintballs with actual black powder pistols.

It may prove to be the ideal method for gentlemen seeking a means to settle their arguments. Complete with stand in “Seconds” and secured by a slap in the face with a glove, an historically accurate duel may soon become the ultimate method for getting even with your enemies.

My kickstarter campaign will begin as soon as I have enough money to pay the electric bill and fire up my computer.

Ò That line was put in place when they built the (Moriah Central) school. It starts at Grover Hills, down Plank Road to Center Road, to Tarbell Hill and then to the school. There are 800 people on the line plus the biggest water users in town with the school and golf course.Ó Scozzafava said the town has experienced Ò more and moreÓ breaks along the line in recent years, which has required a lot of man hours given the delicate nature of the line.

“It is an asbestos-lined pipe,” Scozzafava said, quickly pointing out the lining was no danger to users. Ò But when we have a break, the employees have to wear respirators. The pressure reducers are very high maintenance, especially on Tarbell Hill.Ó Scozzafava estimates there would be a $4-5 million price tag on the project. Ò If we intend to maintain services and attract people and business to our community we need this to be top notch,Ó Garrison said. Ò In my opinion it is the duty of every town board to not just handle the day to day operations but to also focus on the future of their community and surrounding areas in order to have smart community and economic development.Ó Along with infrastructure, Garrison believes the town should look at long-range planning in other areas, all of which include: roads and sidewalks, waterfront, economic development, campground, hamlets, fire district consolidation, the

Ò My plan would be to start with one of the above areas and formulate and adopt a short and long term plan,Ó Garrison said. Ò Take the campground for example - what upgrades do we want to see down there, what are our revenue goals/ marketing etc, how to we fund this? What kind of campground to we want to see 5 years 10 years from now?Ó Garrison said while most town boards will be reactive to a problem, he would like to see the Moriah board start to take a proactive approach to future municipal issues. Ò I would like our board to be come proactive, meaning identify what our com-

munities wants and needs are address them and adopt a long term vision with goals to sort of map out the future,Ó he said. Ò Being in private business my whole life, I know that people need goals in order to get the most out of them. Communities need goals in order to get the most out of them.Ó Garrison hopes by developing plans, which he said will take time to develop and can be modified and changed to cater to the needs of the community, will help the town move forward. Ò Our town has so much potential,Ó he said. Ò We have the lake, the mountains, the railroad, streams, ponds and the people.Ó

The ‘Baker’y set to celebrate grand opening in Mineville

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com MINEVILLE Ñ Laura Baker originally thought it was a lot of money, spending $70 to take a cooking course while on a cruise in 2013. Ò Now that is the best money I have ever spent,Ó said Baker as she anxiously prepared for the grand opening of her new store, the Ò BakerÓ y. Ò It combines a bunch of different elements and things I love doing,Ó said Baker, who specializes in decorative cakes but will also offer pies, cookies, doughnuts and a variety of other baked goods. Ò That course made me fall in love with it, and I have been doing cakes ever since.Ó While the shop officially opened its’ doors at 3213 Plank Road Wednesday, Jan. 21, Baker will hold a grand opening this Saturday with free samples, raffles for door prizes and more. Ò We will open the doors at 8 a.m. with specials from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.,Ó she said. Ò I think a big one will be cupcakes for $10 a dozen. I will have eight different flavors of cupcakes.”

Baker is also thrilled her new venture is helping to, in part, revitalize Mineville, as the “Baker”y re-imagines a former Plank Road business space. Ò I like the fact that my shop will be in the downstairs part of where I live,” Baker said. “It allows me to be more flexible and also spend time with my son. I think it is good to see some life coming back into a few of these buildings. The community has been very supportive and I am very happy to be doing something I love.Ó Baker, who has a degree in hotel and restaurant management and has spent several years in the hospitality field, already has a following when it comes to her delicacies. Ò I started with a Facebook page, posting pictures of different cakes I would make,Ó she said. Ò My friends would comment they would love to have one and eventually I got my home processors permit and it just kept expanding from there into a very loyal customer base.Ó

Along with a local following, Baker has been published on the Ace of Cakes fan page a dozen times, a website featuring cakes from all around the world and based on the Food Network program.

The Ò BakerÓ y will be open from 7 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; also from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The store will be closed Tuesdays.

For more information or to place an order, call 942-6549 or visit the Ò BakerÓ yÕ s Facebook page at facebook.com/Thebakerycakes.

Schroon-to-Etown bus service continuing through month

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ A bus service between two southern towns and the Essex County seat was extended through the month of January.

The Essex County Department of Public Transportation started a trial bus route in October between Schroon and Elizabethtown, running through North Hudson along the way.

College for Every Student search for schools

ESSEX — A national nonprofit, College For Every Student (CFES), is searching for five schools to participate in a high-impact program that will help low-income students become college and career ready. The five schools will receive Closing the Gap awards through support from private donors. Ò Over the last 30 years, the gap in college going and degree attainment between youth from low-income households and their higher income peers has widened steadily,Ó said CFES president and CEO Rick Dalton. Ò Today wealthy students are ten times more likely to earn a college degree than their classmates from poverty. Unless we close this gap, the consequences will be catastrophic.Ó CFES, which has helped 75,000 low-income students from 700 schools become college ready over the last 24 years, has committed to scale up and help one million low-income youth attain college degrees by 2025. Ò The Closing the Gap awards are part of this commitment,Ó said Dalton.

Educators, volunteers, and other partners who work with CFES Scholars receive ongoing professional development in building their program and they become part of a supportive global network. Ninety-nine percent of CFES Scholars graduate from high school and 95 percent attend college.

Every CFES Scholar engages in three high-impact practices – Mentoring, Leadership Through Service, and Pathways to College. Research has shown these practices develop The Essential Skills, including raised aspirations, adaptability, grit, resilience, teamwork, leadership, and other competencies that promote social and educational uplift.

SCHROON/NEWCOMB Ñ The Schroon Lake girls and boys varsity basketball teams split against the Minerva/Newcomb Mountaineers this week.

Up first were the ladies Jan. 13, which ended with a Mountaineer win over the Wildcats, 63-15.

Inversely, the Wildcat boys triumphed over the Mountaineers with a final score of 66-30 Jan. 14.

The Lady Wildcats were no match for the incredible skill of the Lady Mountaineers. Minerva/ Newcomb came out swinging. After a mid-quarter time out at the beginning of the game, the Wildcats regrouped and started to slow them down. Even though the Mountaineers were slowed, they were far from stopped.

Mackenzie Winslow scored 18 points, most of which were scored from behind the arc. Where Winslow controlled the 3-point game, Astasia Myler had the post completely under control. She ended the game with 16 points and five rebounds.

Although they never come close to winning, the Schroon Lake girls never once relented. Alora Bearor, Ruth Jabout, and Dakota Gadway all had 4 points each. Angie Allen also ended the game with 3 points and 3 rebounds and her hustle forced many jump balls.

Minerva-Newcomb Coach McGinn reflected on the game and his team when he said he had the, Ò best athlete in the section in Astasia Myler. WeÕ re extremely dangerous if Mackenzie Winslow is making any shots.Ó He wants to continue to work on making sharper passes and boxing out.

The Wildcats were the ones to come out on top on Wednesday in the boysÕ matchup.

The Wildcat game was fast-paced and high energy. Their passing and ball handling skills enabled them to take a large early lead. Schroon LakeÕ s Alex Shaughnessy ended with 18 points, Joe Maisonville had 16 points and Tanner Stone and Brandon Hall each had 12 points.

Minerva-Newcomb’s Caleb Winters was their leading scorer with 12 points. Aiden LaCourse also had 5 points. Ò We talked about sharing the basketball; itÕ s something we really wanted to focus on,Ó head coach Lee Silvernail said. “I thought they did a good job tonight of finding the open guy. We talked about getting out in transition and running a little bit. I thought we did well; we got some easy baskets and that kind of helped up get going. We shot the ball well from the outside which is always a bonus.Ó Silvernail wants to continue to work on sharing the basketball.
