iP Plant incident claims life of Schroon resident keith@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ A 57year old lost his life Jan. 23 after an incident at the International Paper Ticonderoga Mill.

Jorg Borowski, who was a member of the maintenance team at the plant, passed away that evening at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington after suffering severe burns and injuries while doing work in the facilityÕ s power plant. Ò We are deeply saddened by this loss,Ó Ticonderoga Mill spokeswoman Donna Wadsworth said. Ò Jorg was a valued and respected member of the Ticonderoga Mill family.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family, friends and mill team members.Ó Wadsworth said the plant would have no further comment at the moment because an incident investigation is underway, being conducted by an IP corporate investigation team and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

According to his obituary, Borowski, who would have turned 58 Feb. 10, moved to Schroon Lake from West Milford, N.J. He was born in Berlin, Germany, to Heinz and the late Ursula Hollwitz Borowski.

Ti students to get a chance to make national spelling bee

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ For the first time in the history of Ticonderoga Middle School, three students will have the chance to make it to the biggest stage of spelling bee.

Sixth grader Anna Whitman, seventh grader Karlee Witherbee and eighth grader Katie Shelmidine earned the chance to represent their school at the regional finals for the ScrippÕ s National Spelling Bee, to be held Friday, March 13, at Northeastern Clinton Central School.

Held over three days from Jan. 14-16, the top 10 students from each class as determined by a spelling bee test competed for the chance to represent the school at the regional level.

The second place finishers will also attend the regional event as alternates, which include Noah Stoddard (sixth), Mackenzie Moses (seventh) and Carson Reeves (eighth). Ò I want to take all six students so they all can see what it is like and so they are there in case someone is too nervous or gets sick,Ó sixth grade Language Arts teacher Barbara Peria said.

Peria said she was approached about the spelling bee by first-year principal John Perrault. Ò He approached me with the information and we thought it

would be a good thing to do with the students,Ó she said. Ò I presented it to my sixth grade students and they were all excited, so I approached the rest of the middle school.Ó The winner of the regional spelling bee March 13 will qualify to take part in the annual national event, which takes place in Washington, D.C., later in the year and is televised on ESPN. Judges for the local contest included eighth grade Language Arts teacher Miss Morse, Perrault and retired sixth grade Social Studies teacher Brad Peria. Dr. John McDonald, school Superintendent, acted as pronouncer.

After the 20-word test and

results were posted, Peria said each student invited to participate said yes and were on their own to prepare for the challenge ahead. Ò I prepared a lot for the bee,Ó Whitman, the sixth grade champion, said. Ò I was pretty nervous during the bee and it was an awesome moment when I won. I am going to be studying a lot for regionals.Ó Ò I did a little bit of studying for it,Ó said Stoddard, the sixth grade runner-up. Ò It was exciting.Ó Ò I practiced a lot and I am going to practice a lot more,Ó seventh grade winner Witherbee said. Ò I was shocked when I won and the last word was one I knew.Ó Ò I was nervous but confident I was going to win something,Ó seventh grade alternate Moses said. Ò I would study the words 10 minutes every day so I felt prepared.Ó

Ò I was nervous all of Spanish class before the bee,Ó Shelmidine, the eighth grade winner, said. Ò I put in a little over a week of studying the words. I am going to study a lot more for regionals.Ó Ò I felt I did a good job,Ó Reeves, runner up for eighth grade, said.

Sixth graders participating in the spelling bee included Whitman, Stoddard, Adrianna Borho, Kirsten Strum, Aftab Gondal, Zyleen Tyler, Ben Riper, Sydney Rockefeller, Thomas Belden and Noah Bogart.

Seventh graders participating included Witherbee, Moses, Kelly Bright, Vivian Porter, Jared Webb, Kaelyn Rice, Samantha Montville, Madison Flora and Derek Joiner.

Eighth graders included Shelmidine, Reeves, Bobby Condit, Bryce Gautreau, Zachary Bush, Mike Fitzgerald, Kiiran Weller, Fahad Gondal, Ty Schlogl and John Wright.

Times of Ti Editorial

I

Eat well, eat local

t may be the dead of winter, but that doesnÕ t mean we canÕ t give thought to all that can be gained (waistline being the exception) from moving toward a more local diet.

Though the regional food movement has been growing in scope and popularity over recent years, there have still been knocks on the trend as a catchy and expensive fad.

It couldnÕ t be further from the truth.

ItÕ s easy to forget, amidst the snow and short days, but we happen to live in a hotbed of good eating, and with all the pluses associated with moving toward a local kitchen, thereÕ s no reason not to do our communities and bodies a little good and eat more from down the street.

For as big a role food plays in our lives, itÕ s surprising how easily it sometimes takes a back seat.

Not in how much we consume, but rather how much we think about what we consume. And when consideration of whatÕ s eaten goes to the wayside, itÕ s all too common for the effects to take a toll on the body.

It’s no surprise mass-produced foods find their way to most American dinner tables: TheyÕ re generally cheap, easy and good tasting. And itÕ s no accident. ThereÕ s a great deal of science and marketing behind food. Just the right amount of sugar and salt can make that dish mouth-watering, all the while our large-scale food systems are engineered to produce high volumes at low cost. But when it comes to food economics, itÕ s not just local farmers that get the short end of the stick Ñ our bodies suffer, too.

Take, for example, that steak from who-knowswhere. In order to reach maximum production, feedlot cattle are put on a diet of antibiotics, hormones, steroids and unnatural foods in a tightlypacked and manure-covered environment.

Same goes for chicken or pigs.

DonÕ t get us wrong: this isnÕ t an argument against eating meat, but ask any angler why bottomfeeders arenÕ t the best table fare. Would you eat slop your body isnÕ t meant to digest and chase it down with a cocktail of something that will mess with your bodyÕ s chemistry?

Probably not Ñ but your dinner may have. ItÕ s a tired clichŽ , but we really are what we eat.

Some counter arguments hold that the Ò extrasÓ given to animals pass through our bodies, but bear in mind, there was once a time when a doctor and patient may have shared a smoke in the office. Just like a UN official said last May, junk food is the new cigarette.

On top of that, meats raised naturally contain less fat and fewer calories, while offering higher levels of nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin E. Another benefit? They taste better, too.

But what about the issue of cost? In the end, it

comes down to not if we pay but when.

According to the Harvard University School of Public Health, obesity-related conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure cardiovascular disease cost the US $190 billion in 2005. On a more individual level, people with those health problems average $1,429 to $2,741 more in medical costs per year.

Try making that up in cheap grocery savings.

So letÕ s break it down: Buying local food supports the regional economy. It supports sustainable food production. It supports better treatment of animals. And it supports your (or your familyÕ s) health.

So why wouldnÕ t you?

Here are three ways to do so this winter.

Value-added products. A recent wellspring of firepower has brought much-needed expertise to the region allowing local producers to unleash their inner entrepreneur through the creation and distribution of value-added products (think: pickled and tinned items), measures that not only showcase local produce, but also act as season extenders for your friendly local farmer. With the help of organizations like Adirondack Harvest, more and more of these products Ñ from bottled rhubarb spread to homemade bread — are finding themselves on the shelves of markets in your neighborhood.

Farm stands. While fields are now encased in a layer of frost, farms have not closed shop for the winter. For most, itÕ s the opposite. Behind those closed doors contains a flurry of activity, from infrastructural improvements to exploring ways to diversify and market their products. Most of these operations contain in-house farm stands showcasing their products, including seasonal produce, meat and eggs. The next time youÕ re passing through farm territory, why not make a quick stop and explore what these folks have to offer?

Consider investing in a CSA. Community-supported agriculture, or CSA, is a way to buy food directly from a local producer. Members of the public buy Ò sharesÓ in the operation, a mutually-beneficial measure that helps farmers with cash flow while providing members with a steady stream of food through weekly grocery pick-ups. TheyÕ ve become increasingly common in the North Country this past decade. While we understand memberships can be prohibitively expensive, weÕ ll pose a thought experiment. Break down your weekly food expenses Ñ including impulse purchases like gas station grub and frozen pizzas Ñ multiply by 52 and compare with the cost of an annual CSA membership.

We betcha once the numbers are crunched, itÕ s cheaper to eat localÉ and healthier. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor

In favor of vets exemption To the Times of Ti: I am writing in regards to Veterans Exemptions on their homeowners taxes. First off I think the State should be helping out municipalities with this issue. Second, as a Father with a Son soon to be deployed overseas and as the Son of a Man who spent over six years in the jungles of Burma (Myanmar) during WWII, I am totally in favor of an exemption for our veterans.

The only problem I have with it is I do not see a clause anywhere in what I am reading in the papers which gives any consideration for those who served or are serving in the Clandestine services of our country. The only recognition these brave men and women receive if they are KIA is a flag at a small ceremony given to their family (that is classified by the way) and in some, not all cases a star on a wall in Langley, Virginia.

Unfortunately these men and women have to sign a non discloser agreement with the United States Government - Meaning that should they ever discuss what they did for our country they can be prosecuted and risk forfeiting of the pensions they have earned in addition to loss of rank and or title.

I think that members of the Silent Services deserve the same recognition as all veterans, Unfortunately that is not going to happen.

Elks say thanks To the Times of Ti: The Ticonderoga Elks Lodge #1494 wishes to thank the area communities that support our fund-raising efforts. These efforts enable us to provide our charitable work to these communities.

The following Ò storyÓ explains one of our charitable programs.

The Night Before Christmas Ò TÕ was the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring-- except for the Elks.Ó Santa isnÕ t the only one hard at work on the night before Christmas. Thanks to the generosity of our local community, a donation from StewartÕ s Shops and the Elks National Founda-

tion Gratitude Grant, Ticonderoga, NY Lodge No. 1494 continued its tradition of helping those in need on Christmas Eve. Each Christmas, the Elks provide a traditional Christmas dinner to approximately 200 families in need.

Elks start Christmas Eve day at 6 a.m. by packing boxes with turkey, ham or chicken, potatoes, vegetables, fresh apples, canned goods, and more. Next, Elks and volunteers form a human assembly line to take the boxes of food off the numerous tables, down the stairs, out the door and into waiting trucks. They then deliver the Christmas dinners to families in the surrounding communities. McDonaldÕ s of Ticonderoga generously provide breakfast for all the volunteers!

Elves Pitch In The Elks couldnÕ t have served so many community members in need without the help of local Ò elves.Ó Third-grade students from Ticonderoga elementary school diligently collected over 90 bags of groceries to be donated. College students home for winter break pitched in by helping to pack the food. This joint effort not only showcases the Lodge as a leader in community service, but also allows the Lodge to instill the spirit of giving in others.

Storybook Ending After the meals were delivered, residents of Ticonderoga and area communities heard the Elks exclaim as they drove out of sight, Ò Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!Ó Thank you.

Officers and Members of Ticonderoga Elks Lodge #1494

Adirondack residents under assault To the News Enterprise: I write to commend and support the Valley News editorial staff for their determination in exercising their right to an opinion.

Newspapers primarily report news, engage in investigative journalism, and offer opinion. Their function is not to placate and please the subjects of an opinion or story.

Obviously the editorial staff are not enthralled with the mission or methods of the Protect the Adirondacks radical environmental organization. They have every right to that opinion and they possess the mechanism to express that opinion, at least they did.

The Protect folks pretend their efforts are for the good of all and believe that the Adirondacks are in danger, but many disagree. Little of what they do is for the good of all who live in the Adirondacks.

Obviously they donÕ t take criticism well.

Their primary focus, of course, is the environment. The ability of residents to make a living and raise your families here is not the concern of the Protect crowd, or other like minded environmental groups.

I ask the Valley News to do some investigative journalism and tell us more about state tax dollar costs and/or reimbursements to Protect the Adirondacks for their litigation.

I also commend and thank the Essex County Board of Supervisors for standing up for what I suspect would be the majority of your constituents regarding this issue.

Mainstream Adirondack residents are under assault from a variety of environmental initiatives such as Smart Growth and the transfer of our local Home Rule authority to regional planners, like the APA and their supporters.

The environmental groups have a vision for the Adirondacks.

Many of us donÕ t necessarily have a place in this vision that slowly and continuously moves forward.

Chamber Profiles FUND for Lake George releases annual report addressing ‘chief concerns’

LAKE GEORGE Ñ The FUND for Lake George released the State of the Lake: Chief Concerns as Revealed by Science and the Fate of the Lake: A Blueprint for Protection.

This two-volume set focuses on the fundamental threats now facing Lake GeorgeÑ invasive species, rising salt levels, and declining water quality and clarity. Applying latest science, the publication calls for Ò an unprecedented commitment to reversing present trends and preventing Lake George from slipping into a state of irreversible decline.Ó The State of the Lake/Fate of the Lake can be viewed and downloaded at fundforlakegeorge. org.

As summarized in the 12-page State of the Lake, 30 years of water quality monitoring (conducted by RensselaerÕ s Darrin Fresh Water Institute and underwritten by The FUND) has revealed a complex, yet solvable, set of problems. These include: invasive and introduced species stressing the lakeÕ s native species and food web; an alarming threefold increase in salt concentrations from road de-icing favoring

blue green algae that can be toxic; measurable declines in water clarity with ensuing impacts on key species including the lakeÕ s Nitella meadows, considered vital to maintaining clarity; increased nutrient loading from stormwater runoff, wastewater, fertilizer use, and land disturbance; and a significant rise in chlorophyll concentrations reflecting increases in algal growth.

“Scientific knowledge of the past generation provides an historic opportunity to protect Lake George for the next,Ó said FUND Executive Director Eric Siy. Ò Central to success are concerted actions that unite all those with a stake in the fate of the lake,Ó Siy said.

The 12-page Fate of the Lake Blueprint for Protection, illustrated with a series of infographics, takes on each of the primary problems threatening lake health. Specific measures feature partnerships, innovation, and investment as the three pillars for lasting success. These measures form the core of The FUNDÕ s Legacy Strategy adopted in early 2013 with one driving goal: stopping the present decline of water

quality and achieving sustained protection of Lake George for the next generation.

In laying out the actions underway, the Fate of the Lake describes how the Legacy Strategy builds upon itself, starting from a strong scientific foundation. Broad resolve and shared investment produced the first mandatory invasive species inspection and decontamination program east of the Mississippi. Catalyzed by The FUND, The S.A.V.E. (Stop Aquatic inVasives from Entering) Lake George Partnership demonstrated the fresh approach neededÑ diverse public and private interests acting in common purpose on behalf of the lakeÕ s ecological and economic importance, recognizing that the two go hand-in-hand.

As detailed in the Blueprint, leveraging its success and guided by latest science, S.A.V.E. will focus on the need to put the lake on a low salt diet. In this pursuit, S.A.V.E.Õ s purpose expands to mean: Salt Abatement is Vital to the Ecology of Lake George. Moreover, S.A.V.E.Õ s geographic reach also expands to advance invasives prevention as urgently needed through-

out the Adirondack region, using the same playbook developed and implemented at Lake George. Given the mounting invasives threat, region-wide prevention will be key to longterm success of the Lake George program.

Following suit are groundbreaking measures addressing water quality and clarity concerns, as well as an annotated list of investment priorities, totaling nearly $2 million for 2015 (see fundforlakegeorge.org/invest). As highlighted, Ò Direct investment in tangible solutions, and the science that will ensure their effectiveness, provides the single-best method for achieving results at the pace and scale now required.Ó Ò Lake George remains one of the nationÕ s most loved natural treasures,Ó concluded Jeff Killeen, Chairman of The FUNDÕ s Board of Trustees. Ò Despite mounting pressures, lasting protection of the lake can be largely achieved through preventive measures, such as the invasive species program. Together, with clear vision and commitment, we will leave a living legacy, for which future generations will surely thank us,Ó Killeen said.

Heather Genier to lead K-9 unit for Ticonderoga Police

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

A festive tradition

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga Police officer Heather Genier will be heading to school this March with her new partner.

A four-legged one.

That partner will be chosen about one week before the duo heads to the Syracuse-based K-9 academy, which along with an additional course in the fall will prepare the duo to bring a police dog back to the department. Ò The town board and department as a whole wants to be proactive when it comes to the issue of substance abuse,Ó Chief Mark Johns said. Ò This will be a drug detecting canine who will also be trained in tracking and police work. We feel bringing this program in will be a deterrent to the substance abuse issue, especially the increasing heroin use problem we have seen in this area in recent years.Ó Johns said Genier was chosen by the police commissioners to lead the program due to, Ò her ability to work with the public and her demeanor.Ó Genier joined the Ticonderoga force in 2014, after starting her career in law enforcement as a patrol deputy with the Essex County Sheriffs Department in 2011. Ò Getting into narcotics work is something I have wanted to do since the beginning of my career,Ó Genier said. Ò I am looking forward to working with the other agencies and putting the dog to use in the community.Ó Johns said the department had a K-9 program in the late 1990Õ s into the early 21st Century. Ò One of the things it was credited for was the rescue of two children who were lost in the woods during that time,Ó Johns said.

Along with being a valuable tool as a member of the department in fighting the battle against substance abuse, Johns believes the new canine recruit will help with community relations. Ò The dogs tend to bring police closer to the community, especially with children,Ó he said.

Johns said the idea of bringing a police dog back into the ranks of the department was developed over the last budget cycle, when a surplus in funds from the previous year coupled with an open position led to the decision to re-open the program. Ò We were able to transfer our surplus into capital reserve and move money due to a vacant position,Ó he said. Ò In all, we were able to come in with a zero percent increase to our budget and still be able to implement the canine program.Ó The department will also fit a current squad car with the equipment needed for a police dog.

Genier will head to Pennsylvania in March to a kennel which specializes in dogs bred for police work. She will then have the chance to work with the dogs in order to find the right match between officer and canine.

After training, the dog will be a 24-7 partner with Genier, who said her previous pet experience included having a dog as a child.

Training for the duo will start March 30 and last through the months of April and May. Following a break, they will return for fall courses to complete the training process.

Hague’s snow queens prepare for winter pageant

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com HAGUE Ñ Since 1976, with just a short hiatus along the way, Hague has brought the town together in the dreariest month of the year to celebrate the bright, bubbly young women of the small community.

The annual pageant to name the Ò Hague Snow QueenÓ is a long standing tradition, one that used to be a part of the townÕ s expansive winter carnival, but since the activities have somewhat dwindled, community members wanted to make sure the pageant carried into the future. Ò Well, it started so long ago, and the Hague carnival used to be huge, and this was a big part of it,Ó said one of the pageant organizers, Katie Wells. Ò We wanted to bring it back because itÕ s important to the kids of the community.Ó Important, yes, but also something the girls look forward to for months as they prepare to compete for the crown.

This year, four girls have decided to show their stuff in the pageant and by the sounds of it, the competition will be a close call. Ò The judges who volunteered last year would never do it again because they said it was too hard to choose,Ó said Wells.

Magan Jordan, 12, a veteran in the competition, will be playing the clarinet for her talent and said she enjoys the pageant because she gets to be around her friends.

not competed before, is also 12 years old and will play her flute to try and charm the judges. Borho said she enjoys the competition because she gets to bond with other girls.

Caitlin Myers, 13, is also a seasoned pro and will wow the judges this year by dancing the Charleston. The competition for her isnÕ t about winning, but she said she does it just to have fun.

Madison Fish, the third 12 year old competing, will serenade those in attendance with her acoustic guitar. Fish, who has been in the pageant before, said she doesnÕ t get nervous on stage but does when she is practicing.

The girls have already put in four rehearsals and have five more to go. Bobbie Jo Fish, another pageant organizer, said practice is pretty packed with to-doÕ s. Ò We do a snack, a craft,

work on our shirts for the pageant that evening, our poise, appearance, talking into a microphone, and the guys heckle them in the back so it gives them the feel of people actually being there,Ó said Fish.

Not only is the pageant a friendly competition, but Fish said that it does so much more for the young girls who choose to participate. Ò The girls build a little confidence, make some new friends, and have fun,Ó said Fish. Ò We are trying to bring the community back together the way it used to be.Ó The community certainly does come together, and not only to be entertained by the lovely ladies and their talents.

Fish said that the girls volunteer at the fireman’s breakfast and the chili bake as well as gather donations for childrenÕ s hospital in Vermont.

Fish said the community joins together to support the girls, and a lot of that support goes back to other kids in Hague. Ò They come out and really do support us,Ó said Fish.

“We do a bake sale, raffle baskets , 50/50 and half of the money goes to the Mary C. Beste Scholarship which is for local Hague college students in their first year.”

This pageant does so much good for the Town of Hague, and truly exemplifies how important it is to support our youth. The Hague Snow Queen pageant will be held on Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Hague Community Center.

There is no cost to attend, and the girls guarantee to be show-stoppers in their evening wear, with their individual talents, and with their group dance to Michael JacksonÕ s Ò Thriller.Ó

Ticonderoga Neighbors Addressing Drug Abuse move forward with mission

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The TiNADA meetings are always packed full of information and updates, proving their dedication to changing this community for the better.

The Jan. 13 installation was no different, and featured new faces among the coalitionÕ s founding members, ready to talk about the future of the battle against drugs. Ò It was very encouraging and there was a real buzz at the meeting, lots of new faces,Ó said Doug Terbeek, member of the coalition and Executive Director of the Prevention team, of the 16 people in attendance.

The meeting addressed several relevant topics that are floating around Ticonderoga, including the addition of a K-9 unit to Ti PD and talks of a local taxi ordinance, but most importantly the meeting discussed steps TiNADA is taking to make their message heard.

In August, the coalition sponsored a community forum on prescription drug abuse; several community members were thankful for the meeting and expressed interest in having another installment. Af-

ter researching the idea and going over information gathered at the last forum, the coalition has decided that another event, with a similar structure, will be scheduled in the spring, most likely at the school.

The forum will highlight: •Providing the Ticonderoga community with facts about prescription drug abuse in our area; •Why parents should be concerned and giving tips on how to talk to their children to promote prevention; and, •Recruiting new members for the coalition.

TiNADA also discussed the potential to connect with other programs in the area in hopes to move forward with their integration into the community.

Contact has been made with Kiwanis and a possible discussion with the Fire Department. The coalition is asking any members of the public to submit ideas that would increase community outreach.

The group is focused on learning as much as possible regarding drug issues that impact Ticonderoga and surrounding areas; each meeting seems to reveal something new, or deeper regarding drug abuse.

This meeting had Margaret Brown from Hospice discussing her concerns on opiate abuse and the

ways in which the organization combats potential issues. The coalition discussed the potential of seeking out medical professionals to attend meetings and be part of the discussion as well as the possibility of featuring an educational article once a month in the area newspapers.

Before the meeting was adjourned, those in attendance also watched a series of videos that are part of the stateÕ s, Ò Combat Heroin,Ó initiative. The videos can be viewed at combatheroin.ny.gov/real-stories.

Kortney Kraft, records clerk at the Ticonderoga Police Department, has recently set up a Facebook page that will serve as a platform to announce important TiNADA updates as well as useful information regarding substance abuse. The group is taking significant steps in making the public aware of their message, and why exactly it needs to spread as quickly as possible. Ò We welcome opportunities to speak to community groups, churches, whomever about issues related to current local substance use and abuse,Ó said Terbeek.

For more information visit TiNadaÕ s Facebook page, email them at tinada@townofticonderoga.org, or call 585-3080.

Scozzafava, County lawmakers react to $1.6 billion property tax proposal

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Over the past two weeks, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been unveiling proposals as part of his 2015 Opportunity Agenda.

If the sequence is any indication, it’s not difficult to see what the governor has identified as the crown jewel in his 2015 wishlist Ñ a $1.66 billion property tax credit program that he rolled out first.

Cuomo made property tax reform a centerpiece of his first term and this new measure builds on his property tax cap and freeze initiatives.

The new proposal, which requires approval from the state legislature, will provide relief to homeowners by creating a Real Property Tax Credit for households whose property tax burden exceeds six percent of their income.

Taxpayers with incomes below $250,000 would qualify, which is valued at up to 50 percent of the amount by which property taxes exceed the six percent burden threshold.

The proposal also includes a rentersÕ credit based upon the stateÕ s estimate that 13.75 percent of annual gross rent is attributed to property taxes.

The credit is available to taxpayers at incomes up to $150,000 when the amount attributed to property taxes exceeds six percent of their income.

If eligible, taxpayers will receive a credit of 50 percent of the difference with maximum of $2,000 ... but only if local municipalities need to stay within the cap.

Thing is, county lawmakers are unsure of how exact this is all going to work.

THE DETAILS SO FAR Essex County Real Property Tax Director Charli Lewis briefed supervisors on the new proposal last week.

After an initial examination, Lewis said it remained unclear if the measure appealed only to primary residences, or also to the

seasonal residences that abound throughout the county.

To unlock the rental question, renters would have to determine how much of their rental fees go towards annual property taxes that are paid on the dwelling, a potentially vexing process especially if the building is subdivided into multiple units.

Lewis crunched preliminary numbers for each town Ñ special districts excludedÑ and determined eight towns within the country were disqualified because they didn’t meet the median household income.

Supervisors called the policy confusing and said the public should be made aware that towns have no control over taxing authorities beyond their control — like fire districts, for instance. Ò When this thing hits the press, it better be well explained,Ó said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava.

He said he would be open to fire district reform, noting that the current system is also unfair for taxpayers who pay different tax rates for the same service depending on which district they fall into. Ò That needs to be looked into,Ó he said. Ò I think we need to take a look at consolidation.Ó Ò ThereÕ s a lot that goes into play here,Ó admitted Lewis, citing re-levied school taxes and numerous exemptions for veterans and the aged. Ò I was with you going through what the numbers mean, then I lost you,Ó said Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell.

Lewis said the income-based proposal, if approved by the legislature, would be in addition to the rebate checks county taxpayers received last year.

But she remained unclear if taxpayers would receive a check or credit to their income tax. Ò It really is on an individual basis,Ó she said.

Next fall, taxpayers will receive a tax freeze credit check for all taxing districts that stayed within the cap.

Scozzafava said he was confident that Moriah would make the cut: Ò We can and we will,Ó he said.

He urged other towns and taxing districts to demonstrate similar savings. Ò If theyÕ re getting a check in Ti, but not Moriah, phones are going to ring,Ó he said.

CHECKÕ S IN THE MAIL Lewis reported that all eligible county taxpayers received their rebate checks last fall.

For taxpayers to again be eligible, local governments need to demonstrate a shared savings plan of one percent per year for three years.

Abanakee Wellness Center: local mecca for holistic healing

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com

W

hen it seems like youÕ ve tried absolutely everything to cure your physical and mental afflictions, frustration often begins to take over.

Doctors have prescribed you several different medicines, youÕ ve worn out your wallet on over the counter remedies, and Web MD doesnÕ t have the answers.

Simply put, sometimes the answer isnÕ t as far out of reach as it may seem, and your problems could be solved with an all natural fix.

For thousands of years, eastern practices have been used to cure an array of emotional and physical strife that western medicine doesnÕ t touch upon. These holistic, natural approaches heal patients from the inside out, attacking the problem at its very core.

The region has several resources to tap into that are scattered across the area, but Abanakee Wellness Center in Warrensburg houses all healing needs under one roof.

Abanakee is home to four different businesses that work together in harmony to service their clients.

Dee Beckler, new owner of the wellness center, and practitioner behind Ò Natural Healing TherapiesÓ offers clients myofascial and cranioscral therapy. The healer focuses on tissue massage that uses energy flow to find problem areas.

Beckler notes that the treatment caters to a whole range of physical and emotional stresses that patients may suffer from. The therapist even treats children, some who suffer from chronic anxiety or ADHD; she said she doesn’t even have to ask what the patient is experiencing, she can feel the energy with her hands and attack the problem at its core.

The release of this energy, and the related toxins, can affect many other parts of the body as they are all interconnected.

Abanakee Wellness Center, located on Warrensburg’s Main Street, serves as an alternative healing hub for those seeking to try something new.

Beckler works by appointment only and can be reached at 791-3250.

Jesika Hill, BecklerÕ s daughter, practices massage therapy as well as reiki, another form of energy-flow therapy, under her business, Ò Healing Hands Massage.Ó Hill said that Ò people need another option besides doctorsÓ and that the services that Abanakee offers can be more effective for certain issues than traditional medicine. HillÕ s services accommodate the patient who is searching for a familiar, calming experience of a massage as well as the curious client who is looking to try something new and signs up for the Japanese stress reduction practice. The therapist is now offering Reiki classes that will be listed on the center’s Facebook page. Hill is also certified to

practice oncology massage for those suffering from cancer. Available by appointment only, call today at 321-3497.

Stacey Eddy-Dunkley holds the magical hands behind Ò Heaven on Earth.Ó The footspecialist is certified in massage therapy as well as cosmetology, and offers foot detoxification, pedicures, reflexology, manicures, and silkwraps among her list of services.

Dunkley noted that, Ò the whole body is in the foot” and handed over a foot reflexology chart.

The therapist commented that several physical ailments can be connected to various parts of the foot, which she can address through her massage techniques. Issues of pain and blood flow can be tackled in a series of sessions, and diabetic and elderly people are also able to ben-

efit from this unique technique.

Dunkley, who has studied several areas of the discipline, said Ò I love the energy I get off peopleÕ s feet!Ó When she relieves a client of pain or allows them to be exposed to these alternative approaches of healing, she said Ò it is empowering.Ó Heaven on Earth is open by appointment only by calling 623-1111.

Maureen Dowd, the final member of the core four, practices acupuncture, metaphysical guidance, and chinese herbal remedies at Abanakee.

Dowd, who has been practicing acupuncture for 14 years and has the secret to healing inside her teeny, tiny needles. Dowd believes in what she does not only because she has seen it work first hand, but it is an art that is over 5,000 years old. Dowd said that our Ò qiÓ have much to do with how we feel physically, and pain, whether it is emotional or physical, is often connected to channeling the correct Ò meridiansÓ to correct energy flow. Acupuncture, especially in conjunction with bio-medicine, is an effective approach to overall wellness. For an appointment, call Maureen at 290-5113.

These four calming forces work together to create an enviroment of healing for all those who are open to experiencing it. These experienced women have brought together their knowledge and their passion to the Abanakee Wellness Center and offer their services not only for healing, but for overall well being.

Many husbands and wives come to the center together, several children are treated by the therapists, and often times the services are cheaper than traditional medicine or a co-pay through insurance. The center will continue to grow and expand their natural approaches to health, and now are offering Ò wellness partiesÓ that accomodate 4-6 people, for $125 per person, and allow each client to experience all four services for half and hour each. For updates on classes and expansions at the center, visit facebook.com/abanakeewellnesscenter or call one of the therapists today.

make morning workouts work for you

any men and women struggle to find time to exercise.

If hectic schedules dominated by professional and personal commitments have made it difficult to make exercise part of your daily routine, you might want to consider skipping the snooze button so you can work out in the early morning hours.

Early morning workouts have their ups and downs. Glucose levels in the body tend to be low in the morning, when many people wake up with a relatively empty stomach. Low blood glucose levels can cause feelings of nausea and weakness and possibly make you feel faint. In addition, since you likely arenÕ t moving much while youÕ re asleep, your joints and muscles are likely less mobile early

in the morning than they are in the evening, which can make morning workouts difficult and, if you don’t allow yourself more time to warm up, put your body at greater risk of injury. But morning workouts also can energize you throughout the day, and many people find it easier to consistently exercise in the early mornings than at night, when distractions or long days at the office can affect your motivation to workout.

Early morning exercise routines can be difficult to adjust to, but there are some ways to make the adjustment to such regimens go more smoothly.

•Make sleep a priority. Prioritizing sleep makes it easier to get out of bed in the morning, when you will face the daily temptation to hit the snooze button and roll over. But if you arenÕ t sleep deprived, you will find it easier to skip the snooze phase of your morning routine and get right out of bed. Skip the late night talk shows and call it a night earlier, making sure you get between seven and eight hours of sleep each night. Once you establish a new sleep schedule, you will find it easier and easier to get up and hit the gym in the morning.

•Designate more time to warm up. Early morning workout routines require athletes to warm up more than they would when exercising at other times of the day. As previously noted, your body is perhaps at its least mobile right when you get out of bed, so set aside more time to warm up when you workout in the mornings.

Five to 10 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise before you begin your workout can be enough to increase your body temperature and loosen your body up so itÕ s ready for exercise.

•Don’t go it alone. The buddy system is effective for many people regardless of when they exercise, but it can be especially beneficial for men and women who want to start working out in the morning. If someone is waiting for you at the gym or if your significant other is up and ready to go, you’re far less likely to skip a morning workout than you would be if you are going it alone.

•Eat at your own discretion. Some people simply cannot eat before a workout, while others find working out on an empty stomach makes them faint and weak. The problem many people who work out in the early morning encounter with regard to eating before their workouts is they simply donÕ t have the time to eat and afford their body enough time to turn that meal or snack into fuel that will benefit their workout. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that eating a meal 45 minutes before a moderateintensity workout enhances exercise capability. But morning exercise enthusiasts typically find they do not have that spare 45 minutes to wait around while their bodies absorb a meal. Eating healthy before exercise, and giving your body adequate time to absorb that meal, can definitely fuel your workout. But if that 45 minutes ultimately compromises your ability to workout, you may want to have a glass of orange juice or a drink that contains carbohydrates soyour body has some fuel as you exercise.

Many adults find that mornings are the only times they can consistently exercise. Adjusting to such a routine can be difficult, but there are some ways to make that adjustment easier.

he right dietary choices can not only improve your health but the environment as well. But urbanization and increasingly busy schedules force many people to seek the most convenient, and not necessarily the healthiest, foods.

The growing reliance on processed foods may be hurting humans and the planet they call home. Processed foods tend to be loaded with starches and preservatives, increasing consumers' risk of diabetes and being obese. In addition, many prepackaged foods are shipped from faraway processing plants, and vast amounts of fuel must be consumed for products to get from those plants to local grocery stores.

But subtle shifts in dietary habits and trends can decrease mortality rates and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food production. Adopting alternative diets that feature a higher ratio of fish, whole grains and locally grown produce can greatly reduce an individual's carbon footprint.

The "New Nordic Diet" is one example of a growing dietary trend that has the potential to improve the health of humans and the environment. So says Henrik Saxe, an associate professor who

specializes in sustainability at Copenhagen University. Researchers found a reduction in greenhouse gases of at least 6 percent with the New Nordic Diet, as compared to typical diets in Denmark.

The following are a few ways average men and women can eat to promote their own health while simultaneously protecting the environment.

•Adopt climate-friendly eating habits that rely on more domestic, in-season foods.

•Cut down on meat consumption.

•Eat organic foods as much as possible.

•Avoid seafood harvested from fish farms which can negatively impact your own health and marine life.

•Grow your own fruits and vegetables.

•Shop at local markets that support nearby farms and farmer's markets.

•Purchase products with the least amount of packaging.

Cholesterol and its relation to heart disease

igh cholesterol levels have long been directly linked to heart disease. But as more research into cholesterol and its relation to heart disease is conducted, some doctors are shifting their views on the relationship between the two.

Statistics from the American Heart Association indicate that 75 million Americans currently suffer from heart disease. And even though one-quarter of the population takes cholesterol-lowering medication and have reduced the fat content of their diets, the AHA estimates that more Americans will die of heart disease than ever before.

More revelations are coming to the forefront regarding cholesterol and heart disease.

New research has shown that statin drugs are ineffective at reducing mortality rates in most populations. Furthermore, according to the Framingham Heart Study, which is the

longest-running and most comprehensive study on heart disease to date, it was demonstrated that cholesterol intake in the diet had no correlation with heart disease. The study found that men and women with above average cholesterol levels had nearly identical rates of heart disease compared to those with below average cholesterol rates.

Another potential eye opener is that, in addition to cholesterol not affecting heart disease risk, eating high-cholesterol foods does not elevate blood-cholesterol levels as doctors once thought. Ancel Keys, who is considered the Ò fatherÓ of the theory that cholesterol contributes to heart disease, now says that thereÕ s no connection between cholesterol in food and cholesterol in the blood.

If not cholesterol levels and the foods one eats, what, then is responsible for heart disease? Many medical professionals and re-

searchers now believe the primary causes of heart disease are inflammation and oxidative stress.

According to Dr. Dwight Lundell, a heart surgeon and author of the book, Ò The Great Cholesterol Lie,Ó foods like refined sugars and vegetable oils used to preserve processed foods may lead to the inflammation that ultimately causes heart disease. Inflammation is the bodyÕ s immune response to a foreign invader. Foods high in sugar and saturated fat can exacerbate inflammation.

Bacteria and other unwanted substances in the body also contribute to inflammation.

To combat inflammation, people can adopt a healthy eating style. Fatty fish, whole grains, leafy greens, fiber, and nuts can help reduce inflammation.

Exercise also can reduce inflammation. Research from Mark Hamer, PhD, an epidemi-

ologist at University College London, found that, regardless of BMI or weight, study participants who completed 2.5 hours of moderate exercise each week - about 20 minutes a day - lowered their markers of inflammation by at least 12 percent.

When a person exercises, muscle tissue releases a protein molecule called cytokine, which likely prompts an inflammation drop.

Just about any type of workout that raises heart rate is effective in helping with inflammation.

The public may have been misinformed about just how vital it is to reduce cholesterol levels. Contrary to popular belief, high cholesterol may not have the same connection to heart disease as doctors once thought.

In fact, inflammation may be the bigger component in heart disease risk.

Cholesterol levels may not have the same relationship to heart disease as once believed.

ter cold snap. Jenson is a lucky boy to be spending his time in a warm bed with plenty of food instead of out in the snow!

This gentle giant loves attention and has a bit of youthful playfulness in his personality - we think he is under two year old.

Jenson He is very happy to see the shelter staff arrive in the morning and greets them with a huge meow, asking when breakfast will be ready. Jensen is an all-around great cat with the friendliness and smarts typical of the Maine Coon breed - we believe he will make a great companion and we bet he also has really good mouse catching skills!

Schroon Lake boys, Crown Point girls hoopsters score victories

By Akashia Swinton

denpubs@denpubs.com SCHROON/CROWN POINT Ñ The Crown Point Panthers split against the Schroon Lake Wildcats this week.

The Panther boys fell to the Wildcats 61-37 on Tuesday, while the Lady Panthers topped the Lady Wildcats 32-23 on Wednesday.

The Panthers started out Tuesday with a minimal deficit, but that deficit continued to grow as the clock counted down. The first half was characterized in fouls for the Panthers; they committed enough fouls to put the Wildcats into double bonus before the half. Schroon Lake was equally physical, but were able to avoid foul calls.

The Panthers came out after the half seemingly renewed, but had trouble handling the ball and scoring on lay-up opportunities. They maintained their physicality on defense.

Crown PointÕ s leading scorers were Noah Macey with 22 points and Kolby Pertak with 8 points and 4 rebounds. Ò IÕ m really proud of our boys. I thought they played well and they just keep getting better and better every game.Ó Coach Randy Pertak also said. Ò We need to continue to push the ball up the floor, play good sound defense and rebound.”

Schroon LakeÕ s leaders for the boys were Tanner Stone with 25 points and 8 rebounds, Joe Maisonville with 16 points and 5 rebounds and Alex Shaughnessy with 11 points and 5 rebounds.

Aiden Finnerty also had 4 points and 4 rebounds.

The girls game on Wednesday started out similarly, but shifted when the Wildcats ran into foul trouble. Schroon Lake went into the game with two starters injured which only left seven players in uniform. They held their lead until the fourth quarter when Ruth Jabout, Molly Wisser and Angie Allen all fouled out which left them with only four eligible players. With only 1:14 seconds left in the game, Alora Bearor also left the game which left them with three players.

For the first three quarters of play, the Wildcats maintained an aggressive style and a tight defense with only small mistakes, including some sloppy passes, which allowed them to take and keep the lead.

The Lady Panthers had trouble with fast break opportunities because they were struggling with their lay-ups and lost multiple possessions due to turnovers. They came out after the half with vigor, picked up the pace and started to close the scoring gap.

Lady Panther leaders were Shawna McIntosh with 12 points and Christina Simpson with 11 points.

Lady Wildcat scorers were Alora Bearor with 5 points and Angie Allen, Ruth Jabout, and Molly Wisser all with 4 points each.

State champion Jay Hebert begins college career at Harvard Receives Crammond award from LaChute TICONDEROGA Ñ Jay Hebert is doing exactly as he should at college Ñ heÕ s learning.

The former Ticonderoga High School track star and honor student has found life at Harvard University challenging, just as he hoped. Ò I would have to say that my first semester went well overall. I am enjoying most of my time here,Ó Hebert said. Ò The best part for me is being able to compete in a varsity sport. Although the time commitment is very demanding, going to practice and competitions is always a nice break from classes and homework. Ò Track has been my favorite part of school,Ó he said. Ò I am very happy with the opportunity that I have to run for Harvard.

Track takes up a lot of time, but it is fun and already it seems to be rewarding. It is amazing how competitive the college circuit is and I am humbled by how much I still have to learn.Ó Hebert was recently awarded the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship by LaChute Road Runners Club. He was selected for the honor at Ti HighÕ s graduation in June, but didnÕ t receive the scholarship until the successful completion of his first semester.

The $1,000 award goes to a Ticonderoga High School graduate who participated in varsity cross country and/or track & field who attends college full-time. The winner,

selected by a scholarship committee, is a person who reflects the strong academic, athletic and character traits of Crammond, who died in a car accident in 2005 at age 24. Ò This is a big honor,Ó Hebert said of the Crammond award. Ò It means a lot to be chosen by the LaChute Road Runners. The club has been very supportive in my career.Ó Hebert, valedictorian of the 2014 Ti High class, is the most decorated athlete in school and Section VII history. He won six straight state championships in the hurdles, three indoors at 55 meters and three outdoors at 110 meters.

He also advanced to the high school indoor and outdoor national championship meets as a sophomore, junior and senior.

Harvard has been a big step up for Hebert, academically and athletically. Ò The biggest difference for me academically is the noticeable increase in the amount of time that needs to be dedicated to homework and studying,Ó he said. Ò Along with that, classes are much more difficult. Academics, overall, is much more stressful than I am used to. Ò The biggest difference on the track is similarly the amount of time that is used for practice and the intensity of the workouts,Ó he said. Ò With track, however, I find it fun to be doing more specialized workouts and having access to more recovery methods such as an athletic trainer make workouts easy to handle.Ó Hebert has enjoyed success early in his collegiate track career. In his first indoor meet, the Boston University Opener Dec. 6, he fin-

Jay Hebert ished second in the 60-meter hurdles in 8.29 seconds and ninth in the 300-meter run in 36.23 seconds. He was fifth in the hurdles in 8.37 seconds and helped the Harvard 4x200meter relay team to seventh place in 1:34.41 at the Dartmouth Relays Jan. 11. Hebert bettered his hurdles time to 8.21 seconds as he finished second at the Beantown Challenge Jan. 17. He also took eighth place in the 200 in 22.81 at that meet.

This year marks $13,000 in scholarships awarded in CrammondÕ s memory by the LaChute Road Runners Club. Ò Duane was a great runner, but he was so much more,Ó Matt Karkoski, scholarship chairman, said. Ò He set a great example for younger runners through his work ethic and

determination to succeed. Ò WeÕ re pleased we can honor Duane with a scholarship and, at the same time, help someone meet their college goals,Ó he added.

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

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

The LaChute Road Runners has sponsored running events for decades in Ticonderoga while raising money to support youth running. The LaChute Road Runners has financed trips for the Ticonderoga High School cross country and track teams, purchased equipment for the scholastic harriers, provided monetary assistance to teens attending camps and awards the annual Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship.

Scholarship applications are available at the Ticonderoga High School guidance office, by contacting Matt Karkoski, scholarship chairman, at 585-7206, and online at www.lachute.us.

imperial Decisions

O

ver 60 folks attended the NYS Department of Environmental Conservations Imperial Dam Fish Passage Project meeting held in Plattsburgh Jan. 21. With such a large crowd, one would have thought that there would be an objection to removing the Imperial Dam, but not one person spoke against the project, it was a unanimous

By Rich Redman agreement crowd.

The NYS DEC staff and the project engineer spoke about how the dam would be reduced in height, and a fish ladder installed with a series of pools the fish would slowly swim through on their way up over the lowered dam. Included in the fish ladder would be a one foot high falls the salmon would have to leap over. The one foot jump would prevent lamprey eels from migrating upstream.

Protecting environmental resources such as both aquatic and riparian wetlands, stream restoration and stream bank stability, will all be included in the final design while dam modification and sediment removal and safe stockpiling are being completed.

This meeting was to get public input about the project and many in the crowd shared their ideas.

The work should be completed and it needs to be done soon was the imperial decision and emphasis of the night!

Trout Unlimited members, fishing guides, tackle shop owners and numerous fishermen all spoke in favor of the plan to allow Atlantic Salmon to reach another 9 miles of spawning habitat.

Canoe and white water rafting enthusiasts were encouraging the NYS DEC to consider canoe and rafting in the design.

Many in the crowd had concerns about public access and hik-

ing trails along the river to be built in with the project.

The cost of the project, over five million dollars, is part of the NYS Environment Bond Act and NYS budget items for the North Country. The estimate for the economic value of the Atlantic salmon fishery and what it will bring into the community was in excess of one million per year.

With improved fishing and canoe access, the improved fisheries habitat, and hiking trails along the river, this project has an economic benefit that will last for many years, far exceeding the cost.

Overall, everyone agreed to the fish passage project, a rare thing these days.

Many ideas were brought to the table concerning total removal of the dam, versus partial removal, how to control lamprey

eels without having a fish ladder and about total removal of the sediment behind the impoundment. The design is not final, so now is the time to speak your mind.

If you have a thought or comment about this project, contact; Lance Durfey, Regional Fisheries Manager NYSDEC Region 5 P.O. Box 296 Ray Brook NY 12977.
