Getting dramatic

CPCS prepares annual drama club offering

Straight from Bristol?

By Mikaela Foster

TICONDEROGA — The fishbowl and the halls were a buzz of excitement and science. Smells of popcorn, borax and other unidentifiable scents wafted in the air.

Fellow students, teachers and families went from table to table at the Science Expo March 3, at the Ticonderoga Middle School, to listen and learn as a range of science students taught what they’d learned from doing their chosen projects and experiments.

Bob Porter, 5th grade science teacher, was thrilled with the efforts of his students. He said they learned about different concepts in science, properties in matter, theories, how things work and more through topics they chose on their own and then taught to an audience at the expo.

“The best way to learn something is to teach it,” Porter said.

“That’s what their doing... they’re really getting fired up.”

Porter listed a wide range of topics his students dove into including experimenting with dry ice, making lava lamps, experimenting with different densities of liquid, performing chemical reactions with Coke and Mentos, making water that glows, investigating sound energy and making liquid magnets.

Garrett Drinkwine, Vinnie Veneto and Connor Rafferty found their topic, making liquid magnets, on the internet.

They explained to their audiences how by using laser jet toner powder, vegetable oil and magnets, they could manipulate the shape of the toner while turning it into a magnet.

Michelle Stahl, 8th grade science teacher, said she was

MakeÊ yourÊ guessÊ now:Ê ice contest nears end

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — The inconsistent temperatures this winter will keep even the expert ‘ice-out’ guessers on their toes — making the Schroon Lions Club’s annual ice-out contest that much more difficult to predict.

Club members said roughly a week and a half ago, the ice was only a foot thick, meaning it should melt away early this year.

Therefore, Ice-Out Chairperson Terri Morse is urging people to get their tickets in quickly.

“Technically the contest ends on the 31st or when the ice-out device goes off,” Morse said. “So if the device goes off earlier and your ticket isn’t in — we can’t really count it.”

Every winter members of the Lions Club place a wireless ice-out device on Schroon Lake. When a weight attached to it drops through the ice, the device is triggered and

records the exact date and time the ice melted and gave out.

Morse said they typically place the device after activity on the ice slows down, but this year they’ll be placing it a little early.

“With the weather, we don’t want to have to use a canoe or boat to get out to the big ice,” she said.

Entrants select the date and time they believe the device will drop. Winners are those who guess closest to the actual drop date and

time.

Prizes include 30 percent of ticket sales for first place, 15 percent for second place, and 5 percent for third place. Last year’s winnings totaled $992, and the club is hoping to exceed last year’s highest winning payout.

Tickets cost $5 for 6 choices or $1 per single choice. Ticket sales end on March 31 or, more importantly, before the ice-out device is triggered. >> See Ice out | pg. 12

Layers of culture

TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High School Mixed Media art class and College Spanish 201 class combined forces for an interdisciplinary project involving design and the indigenous people of Panama.

The artwork created is called a Mola, an intricate layering of color upon a dark background. The Mola can be added to clothing, bags and also can be large decorative hangings.

Authentic Molas may have 7 or more layers of fabric that

are stitched together layer by layer after small cuts are used to reveal the color of the previous layer.

Under the direction of Mixed Media teacher Brittney Shaw, the students used many different media to imitate Mola designs. These materials included paint, pastels, paper, ink and more.

Spanish teacher Lynne Lenhart provided the cultural and historic background of the Kuna tribe. The Kuna people of Panama are very independent and are a primi-

tive tribe that has never been assimilated into modern Panamanian culture. The Kuna tribes live on islands off the coast of Panama.

proud of her students, who chose their topics based on their interests.

“They’ve been working really hard since January and they are so excited to show everyone,” she said.

Living environment students Vivian Porter and Brooke Lauzon, had a lot of fun with their project on “the Illusion of Optical Illusions.” They explained how the eyes see illusions correctly but the brain tries to take short cuts. With the help of Lauzon’s dad, they printed eyeballs with a 3-D printer to help visually demonstrate their lesson.

Projects from 8th grade students in the living environment and physical science classes included topics like bridge arts, mitosis, reflexes of the dominant and non-dominant hand, creating rainbow flowers, experimenting with a marshmallow launcher, creating goo and slime, blind tastetesting, and an in-depth look into the life of Madame Curie.

Paul Jebb, high school science teacher, said he sets out parameters for his students and provides a little guidance, but the majority of the work is done by the students, behind the scenes.

“When I go to one of these, it’s always amazing to see what they come up with,” Jebb said.

As explained by physics students, the assigned project was to create a vibrobot. The basic makeup of a vibrobot is a toothbrush head, (which ends up looking like a little bug), a battery stuck to it, and the same vibrating mechanisms used in a cellphone. When activated, electrical energy turns into mechanical energy and makes the little bot vibrate.

Physics student Collin Bresett, who is exploring a career in mechanical engineering in the Coast Guard, took his project to the next level.

He took a 9-volt battery, used a bigger motor, and propelled a toy car. He said putting everything together was really fun.

Bresett’s sister Sarah Bresett, a chemistry student, explained with excitement, what she and other chemistry students worked on. They took various chemicals from egg yolks, cochineal insects, strawberry anthocyanins and a few other natural materials, brewed up some solutions in the lab and created pigments in order to paint a picture... a process much more involved than simply buying paints at an art store.

By the end of the evening, there were ink stains, borax spills, food crumbs and other particles of science experiments spattered throughout the halls. But perhaps that was just evidence of an overall intake of knowledge and a heightened appreciation for science.

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Pull out the charm bracelets and Reebok pumps because the ‘80s are coming back for just one night at the Ticonderoga High School annual Pops Concert.

The show is Thursday, March 17 at 7 p.m. in the Ticonderoga High School auditorium. Tickets cost $3 for students, $5 for adults and $12 for families. Proceeds this year go to help fund the New York City trip and scholarships.

Performing this year are the Ticonderoga High School Band, the Sentinel Big Band, Night Voices, Trebled Voices and the High School Chorus.

Andre Gordon, music teacher, said his students are really excited about the theme this year.

“They were jumping for joy” and loved the music choices, he said.

Gordon gave a sneak preview of the upcoming performances.

The band will perform the theme song from The A Team; the Sentinel Big Band will do “Funky Town,” Night Voices, Madonna’s “Like a Prayer,” and the chorus will perform “Eye of the Tiger.”

“It’s going to be fun,” he said.

There will also be a giant medley at the end, which is a mix and match of about 10 songs.

Gordon said this will be the first time they’ve done a medley at the high school. He added how everyone is working really hard since the Christmas concert and time has flown by.

“I can’t believe it’s next week already,” he said.

Ticonderoga Elementary School students rehearse for their upcoming musical, “Wendy and the Wax Factory: Heroes and Heroines of America,” written by Wayne Chagnon Jr. Show time is 7 p.m., March 19. Free admission for all.

TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga Elementary School proudly presents “Wendy and the Wax Factory: Heroes and Heroines of America,” written by Wayne Chagnon Jr., a music teacher at the school. Students in grades 3-5 will be performing.

Wendy is a young school-girl who is picked on a lot for being passionate about history.

She goes with her friend to a wax museum where things get a little peculiar at night...

“The total premise is the liberty of happiness,” Chagnon said. “The wax figures teach

that you have the right to like history just as much as others like sports or something else.”

Historical figures like Dwight Eisenhower, Neil Armstrong, Babe Ruth, Pocahontas, Helen Keller and Abe Lincoln come to life as the actors transform into the characters.

“I love the energy level this time of year,” Chagnon said. “And the really put out an effort.”

Show time is at 7 p.m., Saturday, March 19 in the Ticonderoga Elementary School ‘fish bowl’. Free admission for all.

Folks are invited to come an hour early to take part in a Scholastic Book Fair at the school.

Strength in unity

o you think we’ll ever get our house in order?

The anger that so many of our fellow countryman feel today has grown out of the dissatisfaction and frustration of seeing the nation’s political parties so vehemently disjointed.

We are now witnessing the same behavior within the Republican party as those in the established inner circle attempt to derail candidates they find unsuitable.

And while the Republicans are in full destruct mode, the Democrats are becoming equally divided in what was expected to be an easy path to the nomination for Hillary Clinton.

Senator Sanders’ surprisingly successful socialist campaign, is “bernin’” the party while the DOJ continues their ever expanding investigation into Clinton’s past discretions with classified documents.

We’ve seen how this two party polarization can stifle political and economic growth in the country.

Just imagine the effect it will have when the same culture tears at the fabric inside the two established parties.

Infighting of this magnitude only serves to leave the country in an impotent state with nothing getting accomplished except further debt, dysfunction, anger and despair.

Our nation has always been able to rise above the petty disagreements and come together to accomplish great things, but in this environment there is no clear overwhelming choice that any majority can agree upon or support.

What no one seems willing to accept is we all lose when any of us lose. Respect and compromise is the only path to healing.

President Lincoln saw this clearly after the civil war despite it being an unpopular position at the time. He understood the nation needed to heal after the bitter fighting and the only solution was to forgive and unite under a common cause. Sadly his life was taken before he could enact his plans. Yet he stands today as one of our nation’s greatest presidents.

We must recognize and respect this great melting pot of ideas and people we call home and find solutions that respect the will of all her people, not just those lucky enough to be in power at the moment.

Our strength is only evident when it is focused on the common good and right now it’s anything but.

Taking in refugees will be good for the Adirondack Park

T

he world can be a dark place. Unless you’ve been living under a rock — which is actually a legitimate lifestyle here in the Adirondack Park — you’ve likely caught a whiff of the uncertainty that continues to grip the nation.

An autocratic renegade real estate developer is poisoning the well of reasonable discourse with his brand of pugnacious faux-populism.

The situation across the political aisle is equally odorous, with voters forced to choose between a socialist who wants to remake our political system and a craven opportunist who is allergic to the truth.

Flint, Michigan is embroiled in a deadly water crisis stemming from profound government malfeasance. Zika, a new mosquito-borne virus, is threatening to become the new ebola, while storm clouds continue to gather over the global economy.

It’s times like this when we could all use some good news.

That’s why we’re so heartened by the efforts of a local group of civic leaders to turn on the light.

This winter, a collective of religious institutions, nonprofits and other citizens assembled to discuss a burning question: How can we open ourselves up to refugees in a hostile political environment?

The group, now known as the North Country Refugee Collaboration Project, met at the Keene Valley Congregational Church on a late-January evening — Martin Luther King, Jr. Day — and emerged three hours later brimming with ideas: “It is clear that we see a need and want to respond right now,” said a memo issued after the meeting. “We want to capture that energy and commitment, and continue to see it grow and expand to other groups (secular, governmental and faith-based) in our area.”

The report mapped out a blueprint for moving forward, designating goals, timelines and point people for each task.

This is wonderful news for many reasons, namely because this group is acting as our collective moral compass.

We live under a growing shadow of ugliness.

One of the key goals of the Islamic State is for the United States to alienate, marginalize and denigrate Muslim populations. This, they hope, will aid in their recruitment efforts.

We saw this in the aftermath of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks, where our politicians — including several of our state and federal representatives — tripped over themselves to put the brakes on federal immigration programs.

Spiked with inflammatory and fearful language, this was partisan hackery at its worst.

Refugees, especially those from war-torn regions like Syria, are already the most severely scrutinized group to enter the country.

Terrorist attacks on American soil, for the most part, have been carried out not by refugees, by naturalized citizens or those carrying student visas.

(And that’s to say nothing of the toxicity being spewed by Donald Trump — “Who’s going to pay for the wall? They are!” — when it comes to our amigos to the south.)

While last fall’s attacks by Islamic militants have largely faded into the

rearview, America continues to be at a crossroads.

An estimated 4 million Syrians are trying to leave the country.

Of those, only an infinitesimal number will eventually make it to American soil. This year, President Obama has recommended accepting 85,000 (and 100,000 in 2017). While the number has already proven to be fodder for critics, it’s a drop in the bucket when compared to the 4.2 million immigrants who are already in the country.

We hope some of these Syrians will find their way here.

Taking in refugees is good for America — and in particular, the Adirondack Park — for a few simple common sense reasons.

The first is jobs. One of the most chief complaints we hear from the North Country business community is the lack of a dependable workforce. From small businesses to large employers to the region’s leading nonprofits, the refrain is simple: It’s tough to fill low-paying slots with good, reliable help.

For many, the choice is simple: Why work when you can collect benefits?

Immigrants don’t share that mindset.

Schools. Combatting the demographic decline remains one of the region’s most vexing problems. When it comes to the public school landscape, we’re in a new era of permanent austerity where discussion is punctuated by buzzwords like mergers, shared services and consolidation — not growth, prosperity and expansion. Old timers fondly talk of a working family in each house. We can have that again.

Diversity. At 96 percent white, we’re a homogenous bunch that does not resemble the shifting demographics of the country (the remaining four percent are prison inmates). This really puts us at a disadvantage, especially our kids, who aren’t exposed to the benefits of a multicultural tapestry, from learning new traditions, enjoying culinary experiences or simply expanding their intellectual universe.

We’re not naive.

The international press is rife with reports of refugees who have refused to assimilate in communities that are also ill-equipped to handle the influx, be it through nativist attitudes, a lack of housing and educational infrastructure or whatever else.

But unlike the European Union, we’re a single country that has the immigrant experience etched into our national consciousness. We did, and continue to, rely on newcomers to maintain a vibrant economy and colorful cultural landscape.

The North Country Refugee Collaboration Project is clearly in its embryonic stages. They face a long road ahead. But it pales in comparison to the horrors from which Syrians are fleeing: Rape. Torture. Murder.

This group is doing a good thing, offering a flicker of hope in this era of domestic and international uncertainty.

We support their mission.

COMMENTARY

BeautifulÊ work,Ê EssexÊ CountyÊ DPW! TimberÊ crimeÊ isÊ realÊ &Ê needsÊ toÊ stop!

To the Editor: I would like to express my gratitude to the Essex County DPW and any coordinating agencies who worked to improve the sitelines and shoulder visibility on Lake Shore Road in Essex and Westport.

There are many people who bike, walk and jog (not to mention drive) on the stretch of road just south of the hamlet and the work these crews did helps to make this beautiful stretch of roadway along the shoreline much safer.

I always hate to see trees cut down, but these crews did so in a very responsible and aesthetically pleasing way. Thanks for maintaining this stretch of roadway and for keeping those who use it safe.

ThankÊ youÊ AmericanÊ LegionÊ forÊ yourÊ work

To the Editor: My deepest thanks to Danny Kaifetz and the American Legion 1619, who organized and sponsored the Hepatitis C testing for veterans of the North Country this past weekend in Morrisonville. There was an amazing turn out of veterans for this free testing. This testing is very new, with a recent awareness of exposure of Hepatitis C for those who served from 1964-1991, possibly exposed through the use of air-driven inoculation guns. American Legion Post 1619 just raised the bar for the entire country. The total for 36 hours was 401 veterans tested and 97 percent were Vietnam era, 1964-1975.

American service men and women who served in Vietnam experienced, many for the first time in 45 years, the knowledge that someone cared about them, someone had their backs, and someone was there to make sure they would never be neglected again. The 11 nurses and medical team from CVPH who volunteered were amazed at the gratitude the veterans showed.

As Army veterans ourselves, my husband and I were honored to be a part of this testing.

MiraclesÊ doÊ happen To the Editor: A miracle happened in Morrisonville, New York on Feb. 26 and 27 in this tiny hamlet of 1,575 residents. Fountain Brothers American Legion Post #1619: Rand Hill Road, led by Danny Kaifetz, began a process which may well be the first of its kind in the state — remembering the forgotten veterans of the Vietnam era.

Post 1619 funded and began testing these veterans for Hep-C, a disease which they received without their knowledge because the military used a device that transferred blood from one person to another during innoculations, a disease that can lay dormant for 30 to 40 years before it rears its ugly head.

Many veterans did not know about this until Post 1619 began this drive to notify as many veterans as possible, receiving help and cooperation from many community organizations and media outlets which proved to be invaluable.

This journey started back in December 2015 as Post 1619 held their first meeting to organize the process of getting these veterans tested. It was not an easy task, there were many hurdles to overcome, but the committee was diligent and overcame them. You will read more about this in other letters, praising the many, many unselfish, unsung heroes who participated in the process. God bless them.

It is my fervent hope that the work started by Post 1619 to save our veterans will be carried on by other organizations. Our veterans deserve nothing but the best.

MinimumÊ wageÊ editorialÊ off Ê theÊ mark Dear Editor: Hello people and the reason why I am replying to this editorial called “$15 minimum wage not the answer to remedying new yorks income inequality “ because people this editorial and the groups that have come out with bad info is 100 percent wrong. Readers also this paper never interviewed any people that have worked or is still working in this industry so this article is 100 percent biased and wrong as well.

Readers the reason why this industry is hurting right now that is for many years small business restaurant owners have underpaid their staffs for years , while they made their money off the backs of their workers people and now they are screaming poverty because this governor wants people to get paid on equal footing. Readers as someone who is a 20 year veteran in the hospitality field I have seen a 100 percent degrade in the quality of worker because of what restaurant owners have done today and so it is time that boss’s start investing in the staffs that they have and they will get there investment back in the long haul. People in closing what we go through on a daily basis while working in a kitchen is a living hell and we deserve to be paid $17 dollars per hour people and it is a disgrace that hard working people get the shaft by New York State for not having a pay rate that can get people out of poverty so they can get better paying jobs.

Christopher “ Hawk eye” Michael Bennett, Olmstedville A 20 year veteran of the hospitality industry

To the Editor: I am writing this letter to inform the public that there are people and corporations out there trespassing on your land and stealing the timber and trees for their own profit. Timber theft is one of the largest types of theft on this planet.

This information is a first-hand account that happened to me.

I am a forest land owner in the Champlain Valley area of the Adirondacks that has worked an honest job and saved my money to buy a large piece of timber land so that I have a place to enjoy my constitutional rights and liberties peacefully.

I have a small sawmill and woodworking tools that afford me to build so many things whenever I want for whatever I or others might need. The use of my trees and timber are very dear and priceless to me and I protect the forest that I pay taxes on for the future of my family, friends and wildlife in a time when these great mountains are being stripped of their timber resources.

Almost nine years ago, Lyme Timber Company, which is a bordering land owner, and Upland Forestry, which works with and for them, trespassed on my property and clear cut almost four acres of my trees.

They painted a new border line into my forest and then cut the existing line that was there to hide any evidence. The line they painted went into the forest and just stopped without connecting to any other border anywhere. I was there on site just after the logging began. They started by telling me that it wasn’t my land even thought I had a surveyed deed in hand. It took me almost two years to have my land resurveyed, have a timber cruise performed and find an attorney to help me.

In that time, I found three other victims that the same companies did this to at that recent time. This not being enough, they then tried to say that this area of land wasn’t mine to the point of fighting me in court for almost three years on whether it really was my land or not and all this time their evidence was a handdrawn map from 1963 done on a scratch paper with a pencil.

So many years have gone by since I started this fight and I have been surprised endlessly on how many road blocks can be throne into take up time in hopes that the victim of this crime will give up and go away. I have been winning these battles I have been faced with because I will not give into these criminals.

Please, if someone has trespassed on your property and taken your trees, it is worth it to report these people and stop this crime. You have a lot of rights, call a Forest Ranger and an attorney within three years of it happening. I wish the best of luck to any victim of this crime.

AddressingÊ theÊ addictionÊ epidemic To the Editor: While the addition of drug and alcohol detoxification facilities in the University of Vermont Health Care Network is a big step in addressing severe addiction disorders medically, another step and perhaps of equal importance in addressing the addiction epidemic would be to explore an answer to the following question: Who in state licensed agencies, that provide face to face [individual and group] counseling for people with an addiction disorder are performing tasks, covered by professional licenses?

A brief and partial answer to this question: In 2012, the New York State Education Department Office of Professions began to explore the answer to this question by asking several New York State, NYS, Departments that is, NYS Office of Mental Health, NYS Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, NYS Department of Corrections and Community Services and the NYS Department of Family and Children Services, to conduct a survey of their nonprofit providers and the tasks their employees perform. The survey results began the process of identifying by title those individuals performing tasks covered by licenses such as diagnosis, psychotherapy (talk therapy) and treatment planning.

While state licensed facilities may meet the regulatory requirements of “treatment”, a closer look by the consumer may shed some light on who actually provides face to face “treatment” for those with an addiction disorder to include those with co-occurring disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, PTSD etc. While the old Minnesota Model [1950] of addiction treatment stresses personal recovery and AA attendance, newer models of “treatment” have been identified and are readily available from professionals who obtain licensure in their respective fields of study, by completing an academic program, practicum and internship.

SouperÊ BowlÊ aÊ success

I

’m on a roll. Up or down?

Inside or outside? Those are the questions for today.

Trivia, you say? Not so trivial for many. I’m referring to the toilet paper. I was somewhat amazed to learn that people are often adamant about those kinds of choices. It came up on my social media pages and, before that day was finished, there were hundreds of responses.

Like everything else in my life, I was in the minority. Kaye taught me long ago to place the toilet tissue in such a way that it unrolls from the inside. That’s the way you’ll find it next to all our commodes. Except for last week. She went in to use the facility and found it installed the opposite way. Of course I was accused. I would usually accept full responsibility, but not this time. I refused to be the culprit.

Obviously, a guest had done it.

Should we call the gendarmes?

Should we place them up for public ridicule? Nope. We just changed the roll around. It was of no real consequence to me.

It’s one of those things I notice in public restrooms and private homes. However, I would never deign to argue that one way is right and the other, wrong. And, I would likewise not change the roll around anyplace except for here at our home.

Kaye and I chuckled at the myriad responses on the social site. Of course, I contributed my nickel’s worth and people scoffed.

One close friend said (tongue in cheek, I hope) that she could never visit us here unless we agreed to flip the roll for the duration of her stay.

How long has this controversy raged? Is there a legitimate reason for doing it one way or the other? I’ve conducted my informal Gordie Little surveys for far less vital quests. Yes, I actually did some research on this one. I’ve spoken with psychologists and sociologists and read their august treatises. I have learned that the over and under thing is discussed as an integral part of class work for undergraduates in more than one institution. Tens of thousands of words have been written on the subject ever since Thomas Crapper first did his business (so to speak).

Remember Ann Landers? She broached the subject during her heyday and reportedly got over 15,000 responses--most ever for anything in her columns. From everything I’ve read and seen, the majority of you prefer “over” by up to 70-percent. Some couples have argued so long and hard that they have installed “his” and “hers” dispensers side by side.

One guy even invented a special roll holder you can swivel to satisfy your personal preference.

If you think this column is a bit over the top, chalk it up to my version of levity and please don’t let your marriage suffer because of it.

EYE ON THE ARTS

“Don’t you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you’re not taking advantage of it?”

Ernest Hemingway posed this question in 1926 and it is still relevant today. We only live once. We know this. Despite this pervasive knowledge, it’s still easy to get distracted from this simple fact of life. We get distracted by work and personal finances. We obsess over obligation and responsibility. These are all valid concerns, but there is something that is often lost in this chaotic mix: time spent simply enjoying life... time spent taking advantage of our time on this earth.

This week I have a few suggestions – as I always do – on ways to stop and smell the flowers.

Here are a few exciting events happening around the North Country this week.

The Wand’ring Minstrels will perform “The Pirates of Penzance” and more Gilbert & Sullivan Players Favorites at the Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh on March 12. “The Pirates of Penzance,” or “The Slave of Duty,” was first performed at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in New York City on Dec. 31, 1879. It was the only Gilbert & Sullivan operetta to have its world premiere in the United States and it has remained popular ever since. This exuberant musical theater masterpiece, directed and conducted by Albert Bergeret with choreography by Bill Fabris, will be performed in its original format; featuring rich sounds of full orchestra, chorus, and vocal soloists. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $20. For more info, call the Strand box office at 518-563-1604.

The Courthouse Gallery in Lake George will display work by Susan Meyer beginning on March 12. Meyer, who is a renowned artist and sculptor, creates fascinating mash-ups of architecture and landscape. The exhibit, titled “Formation Proposal,” collects pieces that “combine sculptural elements to create fantastical, sci-fi environments … and explore landscape and architecture as embodiments of, and catalysts for, our desires and aspirations” says Meyer. The opening reception will go from 4 to 6 p.m. and is free and open to the public. After the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until April 15.

This month, the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls will host a two-part series on figure drawing, the art form that focuses on the human form. Attendees will be working with a live model in the Art Studio at The Hyde. The first class, “Figure Drawing,” is scheduled for March 12 from 1 to 4 p.m. The second, “Figure Painting,” for March 19. Registration is $40 for one class, or $70 for both. To register, contact Colette Broestler at 518-792-1761, ext. 310. Or email adminassist@hydecollection.org.

Partnering with 98.9 WOKO and the Big Change Roundup, the Mineville VFW will present a concert by country singers Joe McGinness and Jamie Lee Thurston on March 12. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m.

On March 19, the Slam Allen Band will perform at the Champlain Wine Company in Plattsburgh. The concert is part of the new “Plattsburgh Blues & Jazz” series produced by photographer Laura Carbone. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door.

The Crandall Public Library in Glens Falls will host historian and singer Tisha Dolton on March 15. As part of Women’s History Month, Dolton will lead a discussion on music that helped to first shape the feminist movement. A sing-a-long will follow featuring topics that range from suffrage to birth control. The event will begin at 7 p.m. For more information, contact the library at 518-792-6508.

Ti technology students plan, build ramp for couple TICONDEROGA — Students in Mr. Dedrick’s Technology classes recently built a ramp for Ralph and Pat Blowers, who live across the street from the high school. In late January, Mrs. Blowers was trying to use their porch steps after a chemo treatment and fell. Ms. Borho, who was eating her lunch in her classroom on the third floor of the high school saw Mr. Blowers trying to help his wife. Ms. Borho went across Lake George Avenue and helped the couple. Upon returning to the building, she immediately spoke to Mr. Dedrick about the possibility of building the couple a ramp.

Before the day was done a plan was in place. Mr. Dedrick explained the situation to his students the next day and asked his students to help. Everyone was on board. It took students one day to build and install the ramp, and involved about 20 students enrolled in Intro to Technology, Production Systems or Do It Yourself Tech.

CROWN POINT

Comedy fans, prepare to laugh CPCS drama production to be hilarious

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

CROWN POINT — Residents should mark their calendars for the Crown Point Central School drama production “You Can’t Take it with You: A Comedy in Three Acts” written by Moss Hart and George Kaufman. Show dates are March 18-19 at 7 p.m. and March 20 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $5 for students and senior citizens, $8 for adults and $12 for families.

Written in 1938, this Tony Award winning play will have the audience in stitches, said Director Crystal Farrell.

The scene is set at the Sycamore home, where sweet-natured Alice Sycamore (Shelby DuShane) falls for Tony Kirby (Jaden Spaulding), a banker’s son. When she invites her prospective in-laws to dinner in hopes of receiving their blessing, Alice’s peculiar family including father, Paul (Noah LaPointe), sister Essie (Makenna Manley) and philosophical grandfather Martin Vanderhof (Josh Berendt) who collects snakes and stamps, might be too eccentric for the Kirbys.

Farrell said the theatre group is so excited for this years production.

“It’s so incredibly hysterical,” she said with a laugh. “There are so many pieces of comedy but it’s all about family and enjoying what you have.”

Noah LaPointe, who has performed in eight shows under Farrell’s direction and wants to write and direct films, said it’s kind of like a Pixar movie in that some jokes will go over kids’

GIRL SCOUTS

Now is the time: join the fun of girl scouting (NAPSI)—Good news for girls across America and around the world: Research shows hands-on opportunities offered by the largest girl-led organization in the world can provide many benefits in practically all aspects of a girl’s life.

“When girls lead, the world succeeds.

Girl Scouts is the largest organization in the world where girls call the shots and take charge of their own future,” explained Anna Maria Chávez, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). “By doing what they’re interested in and choosing fun ways to learn more, girls are developing leadership skills that aren’t offered by any other extracurricular activity.”

JoinÊ theÊ Fun To that end, GSUSA invites all girls to join the fun and register for Girl Scouts at www.girlscouts.org/join. It provides countless opportunities to make new friends, try new things, and exercise new skills through activities from building robots, to participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, to playing sports and much more.

How Girls Benefit As national studies from the Girl Scout Research Institute (GSRI) show, it’s not just what girls do but how they do it that makes scouting so beneficial. At Girl Scouts, girls get to learn by doing, and they do so in a girl-led environment. This means they’re encouraged to choose their activities, decide which topics they want to explore, and determine how they want to go about exploring them. According to GSRI, at least 75 percent of girls who experience this type of program become better at conflict resolution, problem solving, team building and cooperation, and developing self-confidence. In addition, nearly three in four Girl Scouts become leaders in more activities with their friends and classmates, as well as in their community.

These learning opportunities and experiences also help the girls in school. They learn not to avoid things that are hard for them, but rather to take these challenges head-on, practice creative problem solving, learn from mistakes, and grow—all skills that will help girls succeed throughout school and life.

Such empowering experiences have been shown to boost girls’ social and emotional skills, as well. Additionally, because learning by doing is best facilitated in small environments, Girl Scouts’ 3:1 adult-volunteer-to-girl ratio gives girls the optimal way to tap into their interests and talents, and the opportunity to explore fun new things including STEM

(science, technology, engineering and mathematics), entrepreneurship and the outdoors. GSRI reports girls who experience learning by doing and are part of a girl-led program are more likely to develop confidence, healthy relationships, critical thinking, problem-solving abilities and other positive life skills.

ExpertÊ Opinion “Girl Scouts helps girls gain valuable life skills and amazing new experiences they can’t get anywhere else, all while having fun and making lifelong friends,” said GSUSA’s Chief Girl Expert Andrea Bastiani Archibald, Ph.D. “The hands-on and girl-led experiences offered by Girl Scouts help girls develop confidence that they can tap into to do incredible things at home, in their classrooms, across the country and around the world. At Girl Scouts, girls learn and thrive in an environment where they are encouraged to speak up, offer ideas and opinions, and try new things. And whether they succeed or fail, they are cheered on by others to try again!”

VolunteersÊ Wanted Girl Scouts is open to all girls from kindergarten through grade 12, and anyone over the age of 18 can be a Girl Scout volunteer. Girls can’t experience the benefits of the organization without adult volunteers, and each adult who volunteers can make a real difference in girls’ lives. Volunteers come from all walks of life; they are men, women, young professionals, retirees, college students and more. Both girls and adult volunteers can join at any time of year.

MORIAH

Local career fair coming to Moriah Central April 1

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

MORIAH — Employers, future employees and students will have an opportunity to connect at the 2016 iwork Expo in the Moriah Central School gymnasium, Friday, April 1 from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Presented by North Country Thrive and many of their partners, this is a free program to provide high school students an opportunity to explore career opportunities in the local region. Students will also learn information about the training and education requirements for local jobs, to help them plan

their futures.

There will also be a job fair in the afternoon to connect local businesses with community members seeking employment.

Brittany Trybendis, director of North Country Thrive, said the group is nationally credited to support education improvements and their goal here is to improve college and career readiness. This is their first event of this kind.

She also said her hope is that students will become aware of all the great local job opportunities available to them and realize how much the local area has to offer.

“We forget what’s in our own backyard,”

she said. “We want to help them identify what they need to do to get those jobs that are right here.”

The career exploration is targeted for 11th and 12th graders.

Trybendis suggested students attending should try to have an idea of what career field they’re interested in. If they don’t, they can ask themselves these questions before the event to get them thinking about it: “What type of work do you want to do? Do you want to work outside? Work in an office?”

She said the best advice she ever received was: “Remember that in this day and age, choosing a career or [a college] major — it’s

not set in stone. There are ways to do life long learning...”

Employers interested in attending the career fair should register by March 16. Go to Northcountrythrive.org or email ncthrive@ plattsburg.edu for a registration form.

If a company is unable to attend the event, North Country Thrive said they can still post job announcements or company information at the event. Send an email to the above address with complete details.

Contact the office North Country Thrive with any questions or requests for help with arrangements in attending. Call 564-2128 or email the above address.

‘Spay-ghetti and Mutt-bowl’ set to benefit NCSPCA

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

MORIAH — It’s spay-ghetti time this Friday at the Mineville VFW — a fundraiser to help the North Country SPCA defray the cost of spaying or neutering a cat or dog.

Residents are urged to come out to the Mineville VFW from 4:30 - 7 p.m. for an Italian buffet style dinner. The cost is just $10 per person.

Bowling afterward will take place, although the bowling

portion of the fundraiser has been filled.

Jessica Hartley, executive director of the North Counry SPCA, said this spaghetti dinner is to benefit their low cost spay and neuter program called SNIP. The SNIP program, which is only a little over a year old, is a voucher program where Essex County residents can come to the shelter, pick up a voucher and use it at any participating veterinarian for a spay or neuter of a cat or dog.

It’s basically financial assistance for folks who can’t afford the full price of a spay or neuter, Hartley said.

“It’s been a popular program and people have been using it,” Hartley said. “The program is funded entirely by donations.”

The shelter is encouraging reservations for dinner – call 873-5000 to make a reservation.

SCHROON

Pre-k/kindergarten pre-screening open to all Even if not attending Schroon Central

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — Schroon Lake Central School will open its kindergarten and pre-k screenings this year to any family interested in taking advantage — even those who decide to send their child elsewhere or home school.

The concept, school officials say, is not to pressure parents to send their kids to Schroon Lake Central School (SLCS), but rather to provide as much feedback as possible about a child to help empower parents.

Pre-k screenings for the 2016-2017 school year will be held March 15 and 22. Children are eligible for pre-k if they will turn 4-years-old on or before Dec. 1, 2016.

The kindergarten screening is Tuesday, March 22. Children

Monologues to be read at service SCHROON — “In Remembrance of Me,” a monologue program by Carol Feickert will be presented Maundy Thursday, March 24, in the Community Room of the Schroon Lake Community Church, at 7 p.m. A series of five monologues by the Centurion (Peter Johnson), Mary, Mother of Jesus (Sandy Crooks), Joseph of Arimathea (Chuck Glinsman), Mary, of Bethany (Terry Johnson) and beloved disciple John (Mike Ryan), depict the hollow emptiness of time following the crucifixion. There will be special music and a parting communion. This Thursday evening service is open

are eligible for kindergarten if they will turn 5-years-old on or before Dec. 1, 2016.

Superintendent Stephen Gratto said screenings will be available to all — even those parents who opt to send their children to Mountainside Christian Academy or another learning institution.

Mary Gereau, kindergarten teacher at SLCS, said the plan is to empower parents through diagnostic testing to identify strengths, weaknesses, benchmarks and milestones.

Aiding with the process will be other professionals at the school including the speech instructor and occupational therapist.

“We want to give parents the information to help their students succeed,” Gereau said. “If there is a need, we can guide them in how to help their child, whether with resources or materials.”

OFA to serve corned beef meal SCHROON — The Essex County Office of the Aging is providing a corned beef and cabbage lunch at the Schroon Lake Senior Citizens Club Thursday, March 17, at 11:30 a.m. Everyone is welcome. The cost is $3.50 for anyone 55 or over and $6 for those under 60. Call Keisha at 532-0179 24 hours before the luncheon to make a reservation.

Screening process Gereau said for anyone who is new to the screening process, she will call them personally, to discuss the process in detail.

Gereau said children will receive a free book from the book fair before they go home. If they are entering pre-k, she said they will be offered to join the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which is a program that provides books in the mail free of charge.

“That’s it. The child gets a book in the mail every month until they go to kindergarten,” she said. “No gimmicks. Dolly Parton simply wanted every child to have a book in their hands.”

Gereau said parents can call the SLCS main office at 5327164 ext. 10, to schedule an appointment time.

Lady Forts have Moriah’s number again in regional finals

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Since coming back to the ranks of Class D, the Moriah Vikings have won three of four Section VII titles.

Each time, the name to their pain remains the same: Fort Edward.

The perennial Section II champion Flying Forts again dropped a season-ending bomb on the Lady Vikings, using an 8-0 second quarter run and tough defense to outlast Moriah 35-19 March 5 at the PSUC Fieldhouse.

“It wasn’t our day today,” coach Stephan Pelkey said after the game. “Just wasn’t our day. We had lots of shots going in and out. It was two good ball clubs playing good defense. They hit their shots when they needed to. We didn’t hit ours.”

The Vikings trailed by one point in the opening quarter, staying with the Forts, behind 10-9 before Fort Edward scored the last eight points of Jordan Speshock, the lone senior on the Moriah varsity girls team, lines up a shot against Fort Ed- the opening half. ward March 5.

lead in the third, cutting the lead down to six at 23-17.

The Forts then clamped down, allowing only two points defensively while scoring their second 12-point span over the final eight minutes of play.

Madison Olcott was held to 7 points for the Vikings, while Sarah Snyder scored 6, McKenzie Sprague 4 and Hailey Crossman 2.

In the end, Pelkey said it was a great year for the Lady Vikings, a team which lost several key players to graduation and relied on underclassmen through much of the year.

“To me, our season was a success,” he said. “A lot of our supporters thought we would win maybe three or four games this season much less getting to and winning a sectional title. I just talked to the kids and told them they achieved a lot more than they thought they would.”

Pelkey, like many coaches, is already looking forward.

“We’ll play over the summer and work on the skills we need to work on and get back here next year,” he said.

heads but for the most part, everyone can enjoy it.

Farrell said she picked this particular play because she felt like everyone needed a good laugh after last year’s “The Crucible,” which was “incredibly serious and stoic.”

“Last year the audience was crying because ‘The Crucible’ was so moving,” she said.

“This year they’ll be crying because they’ll be laughing so hard.”

The dedication

Farrell spoke to the dedication of her students. Many participate in theatre, sports, the academic bowl — in addition they have outside interests and family responsibilities.

“They balance everything and yet they work really hard to bring the community a show that’s important to them,” she said.

Many thanks for all the support

The theatre production is so much more than theatre club, Farrell said. In order to make the play run, it’s school wide, even

community wide. Farrell said she would like to thank all those who contribute.

Called by her peers “the oil in the gears,” Abby Carpenter is a rock star as a stage manager, Farrell said. She controls the curtains, lights, house lights, the set... and much more.

She is joined by her co-manager and the show cosmetologist, Jenna MacIntosh.

Senior show members come back from college to help with hair and make up, to give advice and help out, Farrell said.

Many costumes are on loan from The Depot Theatre.

The family of Laurie Hunsdon-Ellis gave a gift to the theatre department several years ago with which they purchased new equipment including a sound system and new can lights.

“Custodians spent hours revamping the lights for us,” she said. “They took the project to heart.”

William Clark, the shop teacher and several students built a 4-foot by 8-foot thrust and helped put up flats for the home of the theatre.

The administration and teaching staff are very supportive of the cast and help out in
