TICONDEROGA — Officials may be one step closer to having the funding needed to move the police department into a new home on the Armory property.

The town has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the office of New York State Sen. Betty Little to be used toward a capital project, which officials decided would be the moving of the police department from its current location to a new building.

“Sen. Little approached us to know if we had a need for the grant,” Supervisor Bill Grinnell said. “After talking about it with Building and Grounds chair (and town council member) Dave Iuliano, we decided to focus the funds on the police building need.” Ò When she does something like this for a community like ours where we are always looking for grants and funding to keep our structures up, it is so impactful and appreciated,” Iuliano said.

Vikings heading back to Final Four

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

PORT HENRY Ñ Two days after defeating Germantown in the Class D regional finals, it was business as usual for the Moriah varsity boys basketball team.

Why business as usual? Because the Vikings are now veterans when it comes to playing the third weekend in March.

Moriah (23-0) now prepares for their second straight trip to the NYPHSAA Class D Final Four at the Glens Falls Civic Center, where they will play the NYSSWA top-ranked team, Bridgehampton, Friday, March 20, at 11:45 a.m.

“Last year, they played young,” head coach Brian Cross said about the difference between the mostly-sophomore squad of 2013-14, now one year older. “You can see a difference. Just that year of experience and the summer of AAU and league play.

That’s the biggest difference, the team in general is a year more mature.”

Along with a core of junior talent, the Vikings also have numerous options which were on display throughout the season coming off the bench.

“We are deeper than we were last year,” Cross said.

“We have had new kids step up and play really well.

With 15 kids on the roster in practice, it makes everything competitive.”

Ticonderoga High School students square off with teachers in quiz bowl challenge

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — You can find useful information anywhere, including a Disney Channel cartoon.

After correctly answering the question, “where would you find an aglet,” Ticonderoga Quiz Bowl member Josie Worley offered the reason she knew the answer was the plastic seal on the end of a shoestring.

“Phineas and Ferb sang a song about it.”

That was just one of more than 100 questions students and teachers had to answer as part of the inaugural Deb Breitenbach Memorial Teacher-Student Tournament March 11 in the Ticonderoga High School auditorium, to benefit the Quiz Bowl team.

After the opening two rounds of the tournament, the third round matched the student team of Worley, Aaron Russell, Colvin Chapman, Mackenzie Strum and Taylor Morse against the teacher team of Jim Decker (health), Kim Powers (family and consumer science), Jennee Iturrino (biology) and Lynne Lenhart (Spanish).

After being tied, 80-80, after the first round, the teachers slowly started to pull away and earn the title.

“This is for a great cause and in honor of a great teacher,”

Decker said. “Deb was one of the best teachers I have ever worked with.”

“Hopefully this starts a tradition and gets something going,” Iturrino said.

“There was a spirit of friendly competition, but it was intense and something different.”

“It’s a great chance to share the education we have learned and it shows we have some really strong kids in the high school,” Lenhart said.

“It was a lot of fun and a good tribute to a colleague,” Powers said.

For the students, who have been competing throughout the year through local Quiz Bowl events put on by the Post Star, the event was like a new experience.

“It was really nerve-wracking,” Worley said. “I was never as nervous for a competition as I was tonight. You are on the stage with the lights on and we knew the teachers were going to be good. When you answer a question wrong, you start to look over at the teachers and think should I have known that?”

“We have known the teachers since we have been in high school and it was a friendly competition,” Chapman said. “It was a lot like challenging your parents.”

Quiz Bowl advisor Maria Bagneschi, who “hosted” the event along with team member Ryan Price, said she did not choose a

rooting interest.

“It was my team against my colleagues, so I really didn’t have a favorite,” Bagneschi said. “The great thing was everyone had fun and it was good competition.”

It was teachers against students in the first Deb Breitenbach Memorial Teacher-Student Tournament March 11.

Exploratory committee formed for the removal of B-Mill Dam

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The town board voted unanimously to form an exploratory committee for the removal of the B-Mill Dam at a public meeting held Thursday, March 12, to address citizens concerns.

Spearheaded by Ticonderoga native and President of the Upper Falls Improvement Committee, Albert Powvorznik, a group of townspeople had approached the board to insist the now defunct hydroelectric dam be removed. The group maintains that the dam is not only an eyesore, but also a potential safety hazard. “[The dam] is unsafe, unsightly and unfixable,” Powvorznik declared at the meeting.

Various citizens in attendance spoke out in favor of the dam’s removal: “It is an accident waiting to happen,” said one.

“It had a purpose once, and that purpose is no longer useful,” added another.

Lt. John Ellithorpe of the Department of Environmental Conservation attended the meeting to offer his assistance should the town decide to move forward with the project.

“I’m here to help [Powvorznik] and you,” he said.

While no one in attendance spoke out against the dam’s removal, the board expressed some concerns regarding the logistics of the endeavor.

WHOSE DAM IS IT, ANYWAY? According to town supervisor William Grinnell, the board has

been provided with conflicting documentation with regard to the ownership of the dam.

“We have one document that says we own it, and one that says it is jointly owned,” Grinnell said.

While Powvorznik provided a map which he alleged proves that the property is, in fact, jointly owned, Grinnell said that the board would need to investigate the matter for themselves.

This raised the question of whether or not the removal of the dam is entirely a town decision.

for? You can’t just say ‘remove the dam.’”

The committee’s next move may be to nail down the specifics of the enterprise.

Not everyone in attendance was satisfied with the pace of the proceedings, however: “I think we’re done exploring,” declared Powvorznik at the meeting.

COST AND PERMITTING Ownership of the dam was not the only concern raised at the meeting.

“Ultimately, it’s going to come down to cost,” said town attorney Matthew Fuller.

While it was mentioned that a private contractor has quoted a price for the project, should the board elect to move forward, they will need to decide whether to employ public or private entities, or both, in the removal of the dam.

According to Grinnell, the use of public municipal services will require more money and potentially protract the effort.

Either way, the committee will need to apply for the necessary grants and permits to accomplish their goal.

GETTING SPECIFIC Board member Chattie Van Wert urged the importance of preparedness when drafting a plan of action.

With regard to a potential grant, Van Wert asked “What is it

The NCAA itself is the real problem

Y

ou don’t have to be a New Yorker—or necessarily a sports fan—to have heard of the NCAA’s levying of penalties on Syracuse University men’s football and basketball programs two weeks ago.

While Syracuse is the latest of schools at the receiving end of public scorn for athletic infractions, we forget the biggest problem in college athletics today— the NCAA itself.

Here’s a quick refresher of what happened at Syracuse: First, the university did follow through on its own rules when athletes tested positive for drugs. No, not steroids or HGH. Marijuana. Legal, no, but we’re not talking A-Rod here. The NCAA doesn’t require that schools test at all, and there are those that don’t, but any college that does has to follow through on whatever penalties it has on paper.

Next, academic integrity matters. In a statement released by University Chancellor Kent Syverud, a men’s basketball player submitted a paper that two now-former employees helped him with in order to boost a grade and retain eligibility on a 2012 team poised for a deep tournament run.

Finally, the local YMCA. In 2004-2005, two basketball players and three football players received a combined $8,335 from a booster and part-time YMCA employee—an average of $1,667 per student—along with academic credit for internships the athletes failed to complete.

Not only did Syracuse accept that these violations occurred, it was the university reported them in the first place. It would be naive to think this doesn’t go on around the country in the money-driven world of college athletics. This was just an incident reported, investigated and publicized.

Then came the penalties.

Surely the university and athletics program saw them coming. In 2009, internal policies regarding student athletes were strengthened, and the school recently self-imposed a number of penalties that included tournament bans, vacated wins and probation.

But when the hammer came down, it came down hard.

Basketball head coach Jim Boeheim had 108 wins vacated, dropping him from 966 to 858 and second to sixth on the all time list, as well as receiving a ninegame suspension from ACC play next season. Players lost those wins, too.

The school lost 12 lost basketball scholarships, a returning of all funds earned in Big East and NCAA tournaments in 2011-2013 (there’s no figure yet, but expect it to be well into the millions), five years of probation, a per player, per game fine and a reduction of off-campus recruiters.

Ouch.

Don’t get us wrong. The university screwed up.

Maybe the activity at the YMCA was well hidden, or someone turned a blind eye. Maybe smoking mari-

juana didn’t seem like that big a deal to whoever was at the top of the disciplinary ladder. Maybe shady actions took place in an attempt to get a non-native English speaker eligible to play basketball. Maybe you can throw Boeheim or Athletic Director Daryl Gross under the bus.

We could make the argument that the penalties were overly severe, but that’s a whole different discussion.

This series of events brings forth another topic— what’s wrong with college sports and, more specifically, the governing body behind them.

The NCAA’s biggest cash cow is its contract with CBS sports for the right to broadcast the NCAA tournament, worth $10.8 billion—that’s right, billionÑ over 14 years. Annual revenue closes in on one billion annually as plenty more dough comes in from sources like championships and investments.

Meanwhile, a college kid playing basketball took a thousand or so dollars, capitalizing on his own talent and image, and in the process earned a school penalties that may be crippling.

Lets face it. The idea of amateurism of the past is far gone in the age of big-bucks athletics. Colleges and major leagues have evolved while the NCAA has become dated and stagnant in its policies.

“Extra benefits,” whether a check or a meal or a pair of shoes, can leave an athlete ineligible to compete at the collegiate level while their governing body grows fatter on money generated by its thousands of unpaid laborers.

Yes, these kids are reimbursed in the form of a scholarship. And yes, that carries with it a value, but to say athletes are getting plenty is off the mark. Just look at the dollar signs.

In 2013, the University of Texas’ athletics department generated $165 million in revenue, and the NCAA is okay with that, just as long as no Longhorn tries to sell a $20 autograph.

Meanwhile, coaches like Alabama football’s Nick Saban and Duke basketball’s Mike Krzyzewski have negotiated a cool $7 million annually. At schools like that, where professional play is realistic for many, what athletes are getting in return for their play is the no-cost obligation to go to class in between games and practices.

It’s not all dollars, either—it’s the principle.

There’s no disputing that the whole “they should be paid” debate becomes muddied when one factors in the tens of thousands of student athletes that aren’t in the big-revenue sports, but it doesn’t change the fact that system plays out financially more like prostitution than it does a fair business model.

So when Fab Melo struggles with a class or Billy Edilin takes a check from the local YMCA, are they tarnishing the so-called “sanctity of college sports”?

No, the NCAA has already taken care of that. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Time to raise the age

Times of Ti • March 21, 2015 | 7

Letters to the Editor

To the Times of Ti: The time has come for the criminal justice system to treat young people across New York State as children, not adults.

Currently, New York is one of just two states in the U.S. — the other is North Carolina — that imprisons and jails offenders younger than 18 years of age. According to Raise the Age, a public awareness campaign, other states have rejected this practice because “research into brain development underscores that adolescents are in fact children and that the human brain is not fully formed until the age of 25.”

Adolescents are children. Prosecuting and placing them in the adult criminal justice system doesn’t work for them and doesn’t work for public safety. Holding them as responsible as adults for those decisions isn’t right. As adults, it is up to us to recognize this and adjust what we do when a teenager breaks the law.

Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Commission on Youth, Public Safety, & Justice has proposed a package of reforms to the juvenile justice system.

The goal is to help troubled youth lead a more productive life, in turn making our communities safer and more productive.

We learned a great deal about this issue from the Prison Time Media Project, produced by North Country Public Radio, which Adirondack Foundation was proud to support. Recently, the Adirondack Diversity Advisory Council formed to develop and promote strategies to help the Adirondack Park become more welcoming and inclusive of all New Yorkers, both visitors and permanent residents. We call on Albany to help us achieve a brighter future for our communities by raising the age as the governor has proposed.

We encourage you to learn more about the Raise the Age campaign.

Marijuana awareness needed To the Times of Ti: Marijuana is a controversial plant. According to the Drug Enforcement Admiinistration it is the source of a dangerous drug which has no medical benefit. On the other hand anecdotal evidence such as reported in the Feb. 26 Chronicle, recent medical research and government investigations such as the LaGuardia Report and the Shafer Report indicate that Marijuana is not dangerous and has potential medical benefit.

There is no strong scientific evidence that marijuana is dangerous, however there is strong scientific evidence that it helps with a wide variety of medical conditions such as seizures, glaucoma, cancer, multiple sclerosis, alzheimers, auto immune diseases, reducing anxiety, stimulating appetite and reducing nausea from chemotherapy. In spite of this evidence of medical value, many politicians have been fearful of supporting legalizing marijuana or making it easily available for medical or recreational use. The public has very often been misled as to the dangerousness of marijuana. In an effort to educate about the history, uses and recent medical research, a video will be shown followed by discussion Friday, March 20, 7 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Glens Falls, 21 Weeks Road .

Assemblymann Dan Stec, State Senator Betty Little, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and DA Kate Hogan have been invited to share their perspectives on marijuana policy. It is unlikely that any of them will be there. Legalizing marijuana is an important issue.

Unfortunately our politicians and many citizens are misinformed about

marijuana and support policies which leads to a huge waste of taxpayer’s money in police pursuit of buyers, sellers and users of marijuana, in ruining many lives in unjustifiable arrest and incarceration, and inhibiting research which could lead to alleviating and potentially curing many medical conditions. Strangely New York’s medical marijuana law prohibits smoking marijuana which is the most effective way for many patients to get relief. It is a sad example of politicians interfering with the practice of medicine.

Robert Rockwell, M.D Lake George

Thankful To the Times of Ti: Dear Family, Friends & Community Members, I would like to say thank you to all of you for your support and generosity following the fatal house fire that took the life of my beloved husband Robert, our dog, and home. It has been rough, but thanks to all of you, I see a light at the end of this tunnel, signifying better days ahead.

I cannot ever begin to say how thankful I am for everyone’s support and generosity. There are no words to explain exactly how much this means to me. I don’t know what I would have done without the love and support shown by all of you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Donna LaVergne North Creek

Slighted To the Times of Ti: In the beginning of this year I e-mailed the Ticonderoga Chamber of Commerce to discuss the possibility of doing a show for the best of the fourth and I was told that person I would donate my time (no Charge at all). I was told that I would be contacted by the head of the committee. On March 2 I was Contacted by Debbie Barber and we discussed me coming up to do a show on July 3 from 4 to 7 p.m. because that was the only time open. I agreed with excitement and said I would put on the best show ever and I wouldn’t let the town of Ticonderoga down.

I planned to give a show like I did when I worked as a DJ at Doc’s bar from 1986 to 1997.

I actually put the fact I was coming on Facebook and got such a response that people were coming as far away as New Hampshire to hear me play. I was to have a meeting on March 12 with Debbie Barber but the night before I was to meet I was informed that there was someone already doing a show at that time and she (Debbie) was unaware of this when she asked me to do the show. When I got the message I got on the phone to talk about it and she hasn’t replied to my calls but she has message me on Fb with the statement she is sorry for the mix up but refuses to tell me who is in that time slot. Why is it such a security issue to tell me who is in that time slot. Her reply was they never discuss until May which to me is flimsy at best. When we were suppose to meet on March 12 she conveniently left town and said there was a family issue. I find that a excuse to avoid this meeting knowing I was in town all day. Again to be the head of a committee you are suppose to be running the show and be in the loop at all times and to not return my calls and to tell me Yes we want you and you have this spot then to message me on Face book to tell me oh we made a mistake is totally wrong and Unacceptable! Man up and own up to your mistakes and stop avoiding the issue.

Spring

S

t. Patrick’s Day is past and we’ve had our Irishman of the Year breakfast.

We’ve donned our green clothes, consumed our green beer along with our corned beef and cabbage. Time to turn the page.

The season has officially changed and, after a rough winter, we deserve to be a little silly. I remember a childhood ditty: “It’s springtime and the churds are burping.” I haven’t heard any burping except my own, but I am delighted to have turned that corner. We can’t wait for the humming birds to arrive.

It started for me with the change

by Gordie Little of the clocks.

I’ve always worshipped Daylight Savings Time and would love to keep it all year long. I haven’t seen any crocuses popping up, but that will no doubt happen soon. We should all take time to celebrate this season of renewal before Easter is upon us.

Planning our “Little” garden, affectionately known as a “crop strip” along the fence separating us from the adjacent Morrisonville Fire Department, is always fun. Kaye and I find few things more pleasurable than digging in the dirt. Planting some seeds, growing some veggies and sprucing up the flower beds are all near the top of our spring list of things to do.

I suppose some of you are unhappy with the change of seasons. Skiers and snowmobilers are praying for one more dumping of the white stuff, while the rest of us are getting our shorts and T-shirts out of mothballs and lining up the sandals by the kitchen door.

What do you remember from your childhood about spring? For Kaye and me, it’s mud pies and puddles, marbles and hopscotch, roller skates and Hula Hoops. I doubt if many children even engage in such activities these days. That’s sad. Do your children and grandchildren even know how to dig a “pot” with their muddy hands and play marbles outside? Probably not. I still have mine from more than 70 years ago, preserved in an ancient tin First Aid box. Do they start begging right about now for you to bring their bicycles out of the cellar or garage?

We love to be able to shut down the furnace and open windows, especially in the bedroom at night, to breath in that fresh spring air. We pine for the first day when we can head out through our River Room onto the screened-in back deck and sit a spell, listening to sounds and smelling the smells of the outdoors.

If you don’t have such a Shangri-La, you’re welcome to visit ours. For us, it defines enjoyment. Filling the cups with hot, black coffee and making our way out there in our jammies is pretty darn close to Nirvana. Walking outside is also great when the snow has gone and the winter salt and sand are swept away. Mud season is here and we don’t care, because we love the change of seasons and know intuitively that summer will be here after a while. There are so many smiles to be seen, compared with the recent winter blahs.

Baseball season is also exciting for this Yankees fan and for Kaye who also enjoys the game.

This was the first winter I had dedicated winter snow tires on my little hybrid car. I have to tell you it was one of the best moves I ever made: great tread, especially designed for our kind of weather, on rims that can be removed when the snow is gone. Then, the summer tires are installed and we’re good to go till next winter. Why didn’t I do this years ago? Live and learn.

I’m writing this a week ahead of the publishing date, so I can’t predict when the Saranac River ice will break up and float either downstream or onto the banks and into our homes. We pray for a gradual thawing and a smooth transition from solid to liquid as winter snows melt and flow from the mountains.

We’ve had our share of flooding problems in the past and don’t relish the memories.

I leave you with another dated ditty: “Spring has sprung. The grass has riz. I wonder where the flowers is.”

PD move?

Continued from page 1 Grinnell said while the town has yet to fully commit to a new home for the police department, they are “leaning heavily” towards the maintenance building located behind the Armory.

“It is a benefit financially, location-wise and due to the fact we already own the building,” Grinnell said. “We would not be using the Armory itself, but the maintenance building on the grounds.”

“We put a new roof on the building recently and it is very easy to work with architecturally,” Iuliano said. “It is a secure building with fencing around it, and we have parking at the site and plenty of land to secure the site even more if we need or want to.”

“The type of construction makes it very cost effective to renovate the building into what we need it to be,” Grinnell said.

Grinnell and Iuliano agreed another positive to the potential move would be the proximity of the police to St. Mary’s School and the Ticonderoga High School.

“We would be right next to two of the three school buildings,” Grinnell said. “I see that as a plus.”

“The new building in proximity to the schools would make this a good move for the department,” Iuliano added. “It will be nice for the police to be right there and be able to drive by the

schools even more.”

Grinnell said he has heard concerns from residents about police using Amherst Ave. for access to the building.

“To be honest, they are employees of the town and we will make it clear unless there is an extreme emergency, their access point would be limited to Champlain Ave.,” Grinnell said.

The officials believe the funding from Little, along with money the town has been setting aside, will be enough to make the move a reality.

“I would like to see this done by the fall,” Grinnell said. “The

town has been saving up for a new building and we are hopeful this grant will complete our funding needs so this will not involve any borrowing.”

“It has been three years of the board putting aside money for the buildings we have, including the concerns with the police building,” Iuliano said.

Grinnell said the move will be a relief to the town.

“It will relieve a lot of minds in Ticonderoga who have seen the structural problems,” Grinnell said. “There is no question they need a new home.”

Iuliano said the current police building would be used to house water and sewer department equipment currently being housed at the building which would become the new station.

“The water and sewer items would be moved over to this building as long as we can stabilize it,” he said.

“I believe we can stabilize the building for cold storage, but it is not practical to keep it as a police building,” Grinnell said.

Over the past few years, the town has looked at several options for the police station, including the former Rite Aid store and the Armory building itself.

The maintenance building on the grounds of the Ticonderoga Armory may be the new home for the Ticonderoga Police Department, thanks in part to a $100,000 grant from the office of Sen. Betty Little.

County drawn into battle between growing rifts in hospitality biz

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The question of whether to tax vacation rental units was at the center of a raucous debate Monday at the Essex County Board of Supervisors that, at one point, saw several lawmakers get up and exit the chambers.

Essex County currently tacks a three percent occupancy tax onto hotel rentals, a measure that generated $2 million in revenue last year.

The policy has been in place since 1999.

But recent shifts in tourism trends, including the advent of services like AirBnB and FlipKey, have brought an increase in short-term vacation units, or furnished homes that owners rent out to visitors, typically for seven days (but sometimes as long as 30).

Under the state’s so-called “bungalow exemption,” these units are not taxable as long as no housekeeping, food or other traditional hotel services are provided.

If common services are provided, excluding a variety of statutes governing linen service, the rental is taxable as hotel occupancy.

Now, traditional hoteliers are pressuring their elected officials to close what they view as a loophole by asking that this same tax be collected.

COLLECT IT Bert Yost has owned a bed and breakfast in Wilmington since 1988 and serves as the president of the Whiteface Mountain Regional Visitor’s Bureau.

Earlier this month, he presented county lawmakers with a petition of some 60 local hoteliers urging them to take action by amending the local law.

“We would like this explosion of vacation rentals to start paying the occupancy tax,” he said.

Reading from prepared comments, including letters culled from online message boards, Yost called for the county to include these rentals into the local law.

Yost also asked the board to redefine the definition of “short-term” rental to 30 days from seven.

Ninety-five percent of the monies derived from the county’s occupancy tax are distributed to ROOST, the agency that promotes the county’s tourism assets.

Yost said since ROOST organizes large-scale events that generates inbound tourism to Essex County, the money will naturally trickle back to the community through increased visitation.

“In general, if we look at what has happened since inception of the occupancy law since 1999, everyone sees it as a benefit to every town in Essex County,” he said.

Campground facilities could also fall under an amended law, but only applicable to structures with water and sewer, not empty plots designed to house tents and mobile homes.

NOT IN FAVOR Todd and Kimmy Ottenstein own AdirondackVacation, a company that rents out five rental units in Wilmington.

They plan on constructing three more units, but are now reconsidering as the county has started to debate closing the loophole.

Todd calculates that a potential three percent bump would lead to weeks of lost rentals due to the increased costs.

While he understands that he would be the collector of a possible occupancy tax, not the charger, he maintains that government officials don’t understand the private sector.

He’s not mad at them, he said, but rather upset that hoteliers believe that his operation is unfairly siphoning away customers.

In reality, he said, the market is yielding a increased demand for his product because of dissatisfaction with the current hospitality market.

“I love Wilmington. However, the place looks like [expletive],” he said. “They have to fix up their own backyard before they start charging taxes.”

Motels and hotels are going to be dead very shortly, he said in an interview, because of their inability to meet shifting demands.

“They need to figure out a better use, whatever they have do,” he said. “They’re extinct and their livelihood is past due.”

BREAKDOWN County officials said while they were confident that they had the power to amend the local law without state approval, they advised lawmakers to tread carefully and not rush into making a presumptuous decision.

“I would not have a problem amending the local law to whatever you want,” County Attorney Dan Manning told the supervisors. “I think it’s legal and we won’t have any problems.”

But Manning urged the supers that if they were to consider the measure, they should give at least six months to a year as a transition period, among the consideration of other variables, including enforcement policies.

Treasurer Mike Diskin noted surrounding counties would be watching very closely to see how a possible change in policy would play out.

“We need to give people time to get used to it,” he said. “We make sure we’re doing it right if we jump into it.”

Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell expressed concerns about making the revisions applicable to some merchants and not others: “If you’re going to eliminate something, you need to be careful about the way you word the law,” he said. “You’re opening the county up for liability.”

Following an extended volley of discussion, with Yost still at the lectern, the meeting went crossways when Board Chairman Randall Douglas, who was not chairing the finance committee, attempted to restore a sense of balance to the meeting.

Douglas said while Ottenstein reached out five times last week to discuss the proposed legislation, they couldn’t connect due to telecommunication issues.

As such, he advocated delaying moving forward until Ottenstein and other stakeholders could chime in.

Any action before then would be premature, he said.

Douglas said his Ottenstein’s concerns were legitimate because he was once paying the occupancy tax, some $18,000 altogether, but opted out once he realized other vacation rental proprietors weren’t being held to the same standard.

“It’s a legitimate concern,” said Douglas.

“The whole purpose of this discussion is to make the law crystal clear,” said Finance Chairman Tom Scozzafava.

Douglas said his constituents wanted all voices to be heard and raised several questions that remained open: What do with the funds once collected? Would they be given back to ROOST or go towards individual towns? How to enforce a possible change in policy?

“Those are my concerns and I’m afraid we are try-

Dining & Entertainment

ing to rush something through in a hurry without getting all opinions,” he said.

That’s when the lawmakers exited en masse.

THE NUMBERS SO FAR After the supers returned, ROOST CEO James McKenna told them that it’s difficult to determine exactly how many vacation rental units currently exist within the county.

McKenna arrived at an initial estimate of 1,467, most of which seem to be located in North Elba based on discussions with five realtors.

He also gleaned electronic platforms, like VRBO, an online vacation rental marketplace.

McKenna offered lawmakers a conservative “guesstimate” based on the number of rooms and average rates and on the revenues that could be raised if the available units were occupied for 30 days, the number that is believed to be the average rental length.

That number was $250,000.

That’s in comparison to the $2.3 million generated by the county’s 1,900 hotel rooms.

Still unclear is what the exact occupancy is of these units — how many days and nights they’re typically utilized, he noted.

McKenna advised lawmakers that vacation units were an important component of the county’s infrastructure, especially when it comes to large-scale events like IronMan, because they feed other industries, such as dining and retail, which also generate spending within the county.

“We need these units to be successful,” he said.

Work is also underway at the state level to charge the law.

The New York State Hospitality and Tourism Association, McKenna noted, is in the process of lobbying for legislation governing short-term rentals, among other policy changes.

Another thing to keep in mind, he advised lawmakers, is that vacation units are becoming more in demand by visitors due to shifts in travel patterns.

“People search out this type of lodging,” he said.

His office, he concluded, is committed to willing to work with all parties to thoroughly examine the issue.

‘OPEN MINDS’ Following another freewheeling discussion — lawmakers zapped the idea of an informal straw poll to discern if there was enough interest within the board’s rank and file before they spent time and resources moving the issue forward through standard procedural channels — lawmakers opted to form a separate sub-committee to chart the way forward.

The eventual decision would then come before the full board for a weighted vote.

North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi, who is a realtor, flatly said he would abstain due to a conflict of interest.

Douglas said he hoped the sub-committee, which he anticipates will be cemented by the end of the week, would represent a wide spectrum of the community, including lawmakers, county officials and the private business owners representing each side of the debate.

“I want to be very careful so I have enough on both sides,” said Douglas. “I want a fair and non-based committee and want to do everything to make it happen.”

St. Mary’s School receives iPads

TICONDEROGA — St. Mary’s School has been gifted with a complete set of iPad Air tablets for their Middle School. The gift was presented to the school by the Parish of St. John the Baptist in Plattsburgh. Father Timothy G. Canaan is the Pastor of St. John the Baptist Church.

St. Mary’s School was destroyed by an arson fire Friday, Sept. 5, and lost everything in the school including their computers and technology. The Middle School is temporarily housed in the basement of St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

This gift provides every Middle School Student at St. Mary’s School an iPad Air to use for the duration of grades 6 to 8. Another anonymous donor provided each student with a bluetooth keyboard to be used with the iPad App ”Pages”.

“The iPad Air is great. I don’t have to carry stacks of books around all day. It has everything on it”, says seventh grader, Kylee Bennett who is currently reading the Holocaust allegory The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne, on the iPad Air. “I love that I have my own to use and can store my work on it throughout the day.”

The gift of iPad Airs and keyboards will provide all Middle School Students the opportunity to research, write reports, study, and present on all they have learned. Since the gift has been received, St. Mary’s sixth through eighth graders have logged in over 30,000 math problems through the IXL math program, read and were quizzed on the comprehension of over 200 nonfiction articles for ELA, learned food and eating vocabulary and dialogue in French, read articles and completed evaluations on many historical subjects such as Ancient Egypt, WWII, and the Holocaust, and continually achieve passing scores on comprehension tests through Renaissance Learning, better known as Accelerated Reader. Through the iBook App students have the opportunity to read 1,000’s of books as a class or as an independent reader. Middle Schoolers have also written and typed papers on Ancient Egypt, WWII, and creative writing short stories using their devices and printers in the school.

“So many people have been incredibly wonderful to us since the fire, but this generous gift from the Parish of St. John the Baptist in Plattsburgh is overwhelming. It has changed the studies and possibly the lives of our Middle School Students. They have an incredible urge to learn about a wide variety of subjects, the sky is the limit!”, said Sister Sharon Dalton, Principal of St. Mary’s School. “We will never be able to express our gratitude enough for this wonderful gift of technology. It is giving each of our students the opportunity to learn in a state of the art environment.”

Ti water department feted for winter work

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — It has been a busy winter for the members of the municipal water department.

Over the past two-plus months, members of the Ticonderoga Water Department have responded to 54 pipe freeze and leak calls as well as over 20 main line breaks.

“The water department’s performance has been outstanding,” Supervisor Bill Grinnell said. “While some of the issues were handled by private contractors, most were done by our guys. At times, we had to bring in Reale Construction because our crew were out straight on other calls. Overtime has been unreal.”

Even with the temperatures starting to rise, depending on the day, Grinnell said the order to trickle water to keep pipes from freezing would remain in effect.

“The frost is very deep and could still cause significant problems on its way out,” Grinnell said.

“We will probably keep the water order in effect through the end of March.”

Grinnell later joked with the way temperatures have fluctuated, the order may have to be in place, “through the Fourth of July.

“It has just been a nightmare for everyone,” he added. “Hopefully the county can help us find funds to help deal with the issues every town has faced.”

The freezing and leaks, along with main line breaks, have been throughout the system.

“They are always random, it is the nature of the weather and the water system,” Grinnell said.

Two happened over a quarter-mile stretch of Montcalm Street, between Stewart’s and Keith’s Deli.

“It’s a unique situation because we are dealing with these problems as well as working on upgrading the system,” Grinnell said.

For more information on the Ticonderoga trickle water order or to report a pipe freeze or leak, contact the town hall at 585-6265 or the Ticonderoga water department at 585-6144.

St. Mary’s School of Ticonderoga students participated in History Day at Fort Ticonderoga on March 7. First place winners in the Junior Division Group Category were Molly Price, Zoe Eggleston, Lorelei Leerkes and Kiyanna Stockwell. Talandra Hurlburt and Natalie O’Neil won second place in the Junior Division Group Category.

Lamb to hold WWII presentation TICONDEROGA — Robert Lamb, Trustee of the Ticonderoga Historical Society, will present his program, “World War II - An European’s Perspective Having Lived Through It,” in the downstairs program room at the Hancock House, Friday, March 27, at 7 p.m.

This event is free to the public and light refreshments will be served.

The Ticonderoga Historical Society is commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the ending of the Second World War in 1945, and Bob’s program is one of the society’s events to observe this time in history.

Bob will recall his experiences as a youth living on the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland near the docks, shipyards and engineering companies located on the River Clyde. Bob listened to adults discuss the

war, bomb shelters, the war effort necessities, the sinking of ships, along with the other adjustments to life during war times. He will also relate stories of when he and his sister were sent away to Ireland to be with grandparents for their safety. Bob’s programs are always unique and fascinating. This program is sure to be another one of his popular programs and not to be missed.

“Please join us at the Hancock House for Bob’s presentation, which is one of an assorted variety of programs, events and activities planned for 2015 at the Ticonderoga Historical Society,” noted Trustee Charlene Dreimiller. “With the coming of spring this is great time to converse with friends and enjoy refreshments on an evening out.”

Ticonderoga, DOH continue to square off over water issues

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The battle over the future of the municipalities’ water system here has entered a new phase, and town officials feel now is the time to move forward.

“We have explained to the Department of Health that we are ready to go on this,” Supervisor Bill Grinnell said about the estimated $9 million water system project. “They have not signed off on the wishes of Ticonderoga and the residents. They only are of the mind of what they want.”

Grinnell said the biggest issue DOH had with the proposed upgrade to the water system was the use of current sources, which include Lake George and Gooseneck Pond,

which would be used along with the new water source created with the addition of the Streetroad well.

“The DOH is still pushing for a well-only concept without any redundancy, which is scary,” Grinnell said. “The design criteria which everyone uses throughout the state calls for redundancy from different sources. We are on the same plane with Lake George and Gooseneck with the addition of a well which can all give us water. I’m not about to let the redundancy of our system be compromised.”

The town had presented the plan to multiple state agencies earlier in the year, to which each agency responded, including DOH. “They listed 14 areas they were concerned with,” Grinnell said. “A lot of them were redundant. The same thing over and over again.

We are meeting this week to make our response to each point.”

Grinnell felt the town could be well on their way to a new water system if not for the stateÕ s red tape.

“The money we have spent on the well could have been spent to upgrade the Lake George filtration plant and have it in premium condition,” he said. “If they want to dictate the system, they should be the ones paying for the system.”

Grinnell said the entire project would take at least two construction seasons to complete, which is why he would like the town to be able to start as soon as possible.

“There are portions that need to be done no matter what system is used,” he said. “Those should be started either way right now.”

Funding sought for Schroon hall expansion

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON — Town officials are working to secure a $75,000 grant in order to expand the town hall to provide more room for the municipal court.

The grant would cover the architectural expenses needed to prepare the plans for the town hall.

Supervisor Michael Marnell said the expansion is needed to help with crowding problems during Wednesday court sessions.

“On a Wednesday, the courtroom area can fill up very quick,” Marnell said. “You can have people lined up in the entrance and all the way up the stairs. You have kids coming to access the library and people coming to the town offices and it gets very crowded.

You have the potential for a disturbance.”

Marnell said the crowding also leads to less than ideal situations for those attending court.

“We have had to use the furnace room for attorneys to be able to meet with their clients,” Marnell said.

The expansion plan would call for an addition on the east side of the current town hall offices, where a new courthouse would be placed on the first floor. The second floor would be used as an expansion for the town library.

With the expansion, the town would also have more space to host other events and community activities.

“The courtroom area is used for a lot of different things right now,” Marnell said. “We would be able to use it as a multi-purpose area.”

The addition would give the town 5,000 square feet.

“We have discussed this for years and the board unanimously approved the project during the August meeting,” Marnell said.

Marnell had hoped to get foundation work done last fall, but will now look to move forward with design work before moving to the next step.

Crown Point board works on campground bylaws

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — As the thermometer starts to creep higher, town officials are preparing to host another season of happy campers.

Supervisor Charles Harrington said town board members are working to revise the bylaws for the Monitor Bay Campsite and docking facility.

“We are in good shape at the campgrounds and have a waiting list of four people who want to use our facilities this summer,” Harrington said. “There is still dock space available and with the new retaining wall and providing electric and water at each site, we are hoping for a little more activity at the docks this year.”

The main change for the campsite in 2015 will be the introduction of electric-use meters. Harrington said those using electricity will now be charged based on usage.

“Some campers use little to no electricity over the summer while some use the site as their home for the entire season,” he said. “With the meters, they are each getting charged for what they used.”

Harrington said seasonal fess will not increase.

“We feel this is the fair thing to do,” he said. “Everyone will pay the same price for a site they paid last year and then be charged for electrical use.”

Harrington said the billing procedure will be worked out before the summer camping season begins Memorial Day weekend.

Crown Point drama students to present updated version of ‘The Crucible’

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Take a classic tale and add recent music, and you have a recipe members of the Crown Point Central School drama club know will be a winning combination.

The club will present the Arthur Miller classic, “The Crucible,” Friday, March 20 and Saturday, March 21, at 7 p.m.; along with a Sunday, March 22 matinee performance at 2 p.m.

Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for students and seniors and $12 for family admission.

“This year we have 30 students from grades 7-12 participating in drama between cast and crew,” drama club advisor Crystal Farrell said. “A cast of 25 students will take the stage.

We would like to extend our gratitude for parent, community, faculty and staff support.”

Farrell said the students were excited to mix the modern flare of music into the traditional tale, set during the time of the Salem Witch Trials.

“The music is going to add a very interesting twist to our production,” Farrell, who is working on her eighth drama club production with the school, said. “The students also play an integral role in developing the sound of the show and have worked very hard to understand their characters and how they relate to each other.”

“It is fun to be doing a classic play and working with a good cast,” said junior Noah LaPointe, who plays Rev. Paris. “It’s been fun to add our own twist to the show.”

“I like how well we all work together,” said senior Kara Hunsdon, who plays Abigail Williams. “There is a good mix with a lot of younger students coming into drama club and we have involvement from everyone. I am looking forward to seeing how well our chemistry looks on stage.”

“I am looking forward to seeing our hard work pay off,” said

junior Erick DuShane, playing the role of John Proctor. “It is a honor to perform a classic play like this and put a twist to it.”

“It has been really fun putting a twist onto the production,” eighth grader Emily Harmon (Elizabeth Proctor) said. “The experience has changed a lot for me because there are a lot more people this year and I feel I know them better now.”

Farrell said the cast and crew have been working hard to bring the production to opening night.

“It has been the typical roller coaster for a drama club production,” she said. “When they are totally on point, it is very exciting to watch. They have an exceptional desire to be successful and incredible dedication.”

In the end, Farrell said she is looking forward to seeing it all come together when the curtain opens March 20.

“The best part is watching them on the stage starting to realize how amazing they really are and how they can move an audience with their words an actions,” she said.

Cast members include Mykenzie Woods-Sherman, Corrine Allen, Hailey Rukat, Felicity Dorsett, Maddison Nadeau, Eliza Hues, Mya Pertak, Molly Ingelston, Alex Russell, Amber Johnson, Jaden Spaulding, Shelby DuShane, Tyler St.Pierre, Cera Blanchard, Noah LaPointe, Jacob Anderson, Josh Berhendt, John-Roch Sears, Lori Worden, Kara Hunsdon, Emily Harmon and Erick DuShane.

strategy we were using. We decided we needed to issue a state of emergency because the problem needs to be dealt with immediately.”

The declaration will allow the town to hire a contractor for the work without going through the bid process.

“Our engineer is already working on the project and we have a plan in place which will not cause any detours for the work to be done,” Harrington said. “We are working closely with the engineer and state agencies to get the project moving. The work will start shortly.”

The current leak is one in a long line of leaks which hit the Main Street line of the system, a line installed in 1898.

“The Main Street lines are the weakest and most compromised

in the system,” Harrington said. “We had two breaks and the pressure release valves at Pearl Street and Veteran’s Park gave way. That led to the current leak.”

Harrington added the town had spoken with 10 residents along the system who had lateral lines, which lead from the main to the residence, freeze up.

“There could be many more we were never informed of,” he added. “I know of two who just reported to me their lateral was frozen and they were able to thaw it out themselves.”

Harrington said the town will be eligible for emergency funding based on their course of action and they are still tallying the total price tag for the emergency work.

On Common Ground troupe at Moriah CS wins state award

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — A troupe of student-actors from Moriah Central School were recently honored with the Ultimate Contribution Award from the Task Force Against Bullying.

The On Common Ground Troupe (OCG), led by MCS Drama Club advisor Melissa Bailey and made up of a selected group of 10 actors and three crew of the drama club in grades 7-12, have traveled throughout the North Country sharing a message of bullying and suicide prevention.

The group will be performing a pair of shows, titled, “A Change of Heart,” Thursday, March 19, at Willsboro and Westport Central schools.

“We have performed at schools and a local coalition of mental healthcare providers,” Bailey said. “The performance is written by teens and put on by teens. It has been powerful and impacting and an amazing experience for the students.”

Bailey said the students believe the message they are sharing is one of great importance.

“It is a message of hope, and that is indeed important,’” she said. “It has made a connection for our kids and kids from other schools.”

Members of the troupe include Kayla Joy, Desi Fleming, Nick Allen, Alice Cochran, Sophie Bryant, Hailey Aube, Brittany Werber, Jon Gibbs, Myles Madill, Katelyn Miller, Callie Hillman, Sarah Drake and Emily Haase.

Bailey said the troupe won the award for the work they have done both on film and in person, and future awards will honor their work.

“This award is due to the fact that they didn’t just create a video for the contest, they are taking their message to others in an original, live performance,” she said. “In future years the award

will be called the Upstanders Award, named in honor of OCG.” During the presentations at local schools, the students perform their skit, then stay in character for a question and answer session.

“They also break into small groups and go into classrooms after the skit to teach students about Sources of Strength, a program they had training for this past fall,” Bailey said. “All in all, a very powerful program that brings hope to other students.”

Bailey said the troupe is able to communicate these issues with their peers in ways teachers and parents may not be able to.

“Adults can spend hours lecturing teens and may not be heard,” she said. “However, when peers deliver information to other peers, the message is heard and the impact is great. The mission statement of On Common Ground is to create a vibrant teen theater troupe that reaches the youth in the North Country through original theater productions that address current teen social concerns/issues. In watching the responses of students in the audiences where this troupe has performed, it is evident that OCG has reached some youth and will continue to do so.”

The original cast members of OCG worked with a professional

acting troupe in Syracuse and members of The Prevention Team to create their first production, “I Don’t Have a Problem!”

“This was a skit about gambling which is followed by a question and answer session,” Bailey said. “It was presented at Moriah, Crown Point, Westport, Keene, Newcomb, Ticonderoga and Elizabethtown-Lewis schools with great response from students, as well as teachers.”

Essex County received a grant from Sen. Betty Little’s office to help address the issues of suicide and bullying. Some of the grant funds were used to send On Common Ground to Silver Bay Conference Center to develop a new skit dealing with these issues.

“The result was even better than expected with an amazing, completed skit and even a poem written by one of the characters in the skit,” Bailey said.

Julia Podres reflects on 103 years of life

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com

ried Stephen Podres, Sr., she said, “that was the end of Cleveland.”

The couple ran the campground at Lincoln Pond for nine years, before it was taken over by the state. Then, Stephen worked as a hoist operator at the mines.

“He would bring up the workers and the ore from the mines,” she said.

The couple also moved into her current home, which was a chicken coop.

“My husband really gutted the house out and rebuilt it,” Podres said. “We did a lot of work and it has been my home for 78 years now.”

In the home, the Podres’ raised two children, Stephanie and her elder brother, Stephen, Jr., who recently passed away Nov. 11.

Her husband passed away Jan. 14, 1973.

“I had two chances to get re-married, but I didn’t,” Podres said. “My grandchildren took up all my time. I had a good hus-

band, so I was not looking to take another chance.”

Podres said her grandchildren are still the main focus in her life, with pictures lining her living room on all four sides. She became a great-great grandmother Nov. 18.

“All of these pictures are memories,” she said.

Podres used to bowl (twice a week) and continues to sew when she can.

“I like working hard,” she said. “When I come down the stairs in the morning, I say my prayers, read the Bible, exercise, make breakfast and then start my work.”

Podres said she starts her day around 7 a.m. and heads to bed around 8 p.m. She believes these practices have helped her stay active for a century-plus three.

“I just went to the doctor and he told me instead of me going to see him, he should be coming to see me,” Podres said. “I never thought I would live this long, but I have always had a pleasant life.”

MINEVILLE — On the coffee table in Julia Podres’ quaint living room is a Time magazine.

On the front, there is a picture of a newborn with the headline, “This Baby Could Live to be 142 Years Old.” Podres is only 39 years away.

The nearly lifelong resident of Witherbee and Minveville celebrated her 103rd birthday at the end of February, but not on her actual birthday, since she was born on Leap Day (Feb. 29), 1912.

“She found out when she needed a copy of her birth certificate while running Lincoln Pond,” daughter Stephanie Posada said.

“She had always celebrated her birthday March 17 with other family members so it was a surprise to find out her birthday was Feb. 29.”

Podres was born just up the road from where she lives now, spending her formative years working on the family farm in Witherbee.

“I would milk four cows every morning before I would go to school,” she said. “My brother and I would deliver milk around the town. One day, we were going around and we spilled the milk. We were right next to the river so we tried to refill the bottles, so you could say I invented skim milk. Someone called my mom the next day and said the milk did not taste as good, but I do not think she ever knew what had actually happened.”

After graduating from Mineville High School, Podres went to Cleveland, Ohio, at the age of 18 to work for the Rothschild family. Ò I was their babysitter for nine years and their cook for another nine years after that,” she said. “I used to come home for two weeks for vacation every year and that is when I met my husband.”

What has been your favorite memory of the season: Being able to have the great team chemistry we have. It has been a pleasure to play with this team everyday.

In some ways, depth for the Vikings came through adversity. Freshman Joe Stahl has started several key games late in the season, while fellow freshman Dylan Trombley has earned more playing time.

Both were able to benefit from an illness suffered by junior point guard Taylor Slattery, who missed several games.

Todd Clarke also saw more playing time in the post when Noah Gilbo went down with an ankle injury.

Now the team prepares for the final four at full strength.

“Taylor’s illness gave these two guys a chance to play,” Cross said. “With Noah out, it gave some kids a chance to play and more time on the court.”

Cross said this added depth could play a key role in its semifinal game against the Killer Bees of Bridgehampton.

“If they have a weakness, it would be the bench,” he said.

“That can be to our advantage because we can go nine or 10 deep.”

While depth will be a strength, the main power for the Vikings comes from their core of players who remember last year’s final four.

“There really hasn’t been one person who has stepped into the leadership role,” Cross said. “All of the kids in general have stepped up, especially Adam (Jaquish), Taylor, Noah, Jarrod (MacDougal) and Ryan (Jaquish). They were the ones who played and were part of the run last year.”

Since the buzzer sounded against Germantown, Cross got himself more familiar with the Killer Bees, studying more tape over the next 48 hours.

“They have kids who can really play,” he said. “The Manning kid is a really good player who can do it all both on offense and defense, so we have to know where he is at all times.”

With a win, the Vikings would advance to the state championship game against either International Prep at Grover (Buffalo) or New York Mills, the team which eliminated the Vikings in the 2014 state semifinals. The Vikings were the last Section VII team to make the state title game, advancing to the title contest against SS Seward in 2003.

Moriah Vikings look to repeat Mineville’s feat of 85 years ago

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — While several teams from the North Country and Section VII have made it to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association’s (NYSPHSAA) Final Four since it returned in 1981, no one has been able to match the feat of a group of ball players from a now extinct school who made their way to Syracuse in 1930.

The Mineville Miners were crowned the Class B (there were only two classes at the time) state champions on March 28, 1930, defeating Margaretville 31-14 in taking top honors.

Members of the state championship team, led

by Coach Davidson, included Francis Clonan, Mike Latvis, John Whalen, Leo Sturteevant, (unknown) McCarthy, Joe Stancook, Stanley Petrowski, Pierce Clonan, Steve Shemet and Steve Trybendis, who led the team with 18 points in the championship game.

Several local newspapers published pieces about the championship. From the Ticonderoga Sentinel, April 3, 1930: “MINEVILLE’S CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM “Every sports loving resident of Essex County is proud of the Mineville high school basketball team which won the Class B championship of New York State at Syracuse last Friday night. Displaying the same spirit of hard fight, clean play, dazzling play and hardy strength, the northerners swept through the elimination contests and romped home Friday with state honors. Coach Davidson as well as his team are deserving of unstinted praise. Hailing from a comparatively obscure little mining hamlet in the Adirondacks, Mineville met and defeated the finest Class B teams in the state.

“It is understood that the Miners will compete at the national tournament, soon to be held in Chicago. While it is likely we are carried away by justified enthusiasm, we have seen Mineville High accomplish so many sports miracles that should they attain national honors it would not be to our great surprise.”

From the Adirondack Record/Elizabethtown Post, also printed April 3, 1930: “ESSEX COUNTY QUINT TAKES STATE HONORS “The Margaretville boys took the lead at the opening of the game and held it during the first eight minutes of play, but then the Mineville boys hit their stride and from that time on they were not in danger...

“Trybendis scored 18 points, four more than the entire Margaretville team... Trybendis, the

Mineville star, was ably supported in his work by his team-mates, the whole Essex county organization working like a well oiled piece of machinery.”

The box score from the Lake Placid News, with some difference in names had Cloonan (unknown which one) adding 6 points, Smatt (most likely Shemet) 4, Batruski (most likely Petrowski) 2 and Stancook 1, with Hatbiss (most likely Latvis) not scoring but named in the box score.

Two years later in 1932, the final state championship games were held in Syracuse. After, the state decided it was not in the best educa-

Drats! Lady Vikings foiled Slattery, Vikings clutch from free throw line in G-town win again by Fort Edward

By Keith Lobdell

By Keith Lobdell

TROY — Leading throughout most of the first three quarters of play, the Moriah girls varsity basketball team was closing in on a return trip to Hudson Valley Community College and the NYSPHSAA Class D Final Four.

The Lady Flying Forts of Fort Edward would not be turned away, however, as they used an 18-8 run over the final eight minutes of play to score a 48-37 victory March 14.

“I felt that our team played very well,” coach Steve Pelkey said. “I thought both teams took away the other teams strengths. It was a defensive struggle throughout and both teams missed Madison easy shots early on. It was one of those back and Stahl forth games and, unfortunately for us, they made little run that stretched the lead to seven in the fourth with four minutes to go, and we couldn’t respond.”

Trailing late, the Lady Vikings tired their luck in putting the Forts on the foul line.

“They did miss a couple but we just couldn’t get a basket when we needed it,” Pelkey said.

Madison Stahl scored 18 points to go with 16 rebounds in the loss. Lauren Cross added 7 points, McKenna Harris 6, Sarah Snyder 4, Madison Olcott 3, Caitlin Pelkey 2 and Shelby MacDougal 1.

The Lady Vikings finished the season with a record of 18-3.

“Overall, I am very proud of this team,” Pelkey said. “We were 14-0 in our league for the second straight season, won 15 straight games after starting 3-2, and are Section VII/Class D champions again. This team set some lofty goals for itself at the beginning of the year and came very close to achieving every one of them. I don’t know how a coach could ever find fault with that.”

Pelkey also talked about the bond the members of the team had.

“I think this team really enjoyed being around each other,” he said. “They all got along and interacted well with one another. This was a fun team to coach because everyone knew exactly what their roles were and were accepting of those roles. The underclassmen responded in many more positive ways than were ever expected. Each one contributed something every night; scoring, rebounding, defense, hustle, enthusiasm. Everyone of them played well beyond their years of varsity experience. This certainly should give them all a boost of confidence for next season because many of them will be fulfilling these roles that are being left by the seniors.”

Those seniors include Madison Stahl, Lauren Cross, Shelby MacDougal and Caitlin Pelkey.

“I thought (they) were fantastic leaders throughout the year,” Pelkey said. “They were great examples for their teammates of how to practice hard and push each other to be successful, helped players with skill sets, and set examples of how to be a good teammate in general. They have also left a legacy of what can be achieved with hard work, determination, sweat, and a willingness to improve areas of your game that you may not be proficient at and be willing to work at it all yearround so you can accomplish goals that maybe people didn’t think were possible.“

PLATTSBURGH — The Moriah varsity boys basketball team is returning to the Glens Falls Civic Center.

The Vikings earned their ticket to the NYSPHSAA Final Four March 14 with a 59-49 victory against Germantown.

The Vikings started out of the gate slowly before a 10-0 run taking less than 1:30 off the clock gave the team a lead it would not give up until just before the end of the third quarter.

Trailing 41-40 to start the fourth, the Vikings outscored Germantown 20-9 over the final eight minutes, with Taylor Slattery connecting on eight of 10 free throw attempts in the stanza.

“I knew there would be no quit in them,” head Joe coach Brian Cross said about the opponent. “At Stahl times we played well and at other times we forgot where we were supposed to be.”

The Vikings were able to set the tone in each of the last two quarters, especially in the fourth, with Adam Jaquish scoring seven key points before Slattery made his five trips to the foul line.

“We were getting the ball to Adam, making some nice passes and good cuts to the basket,” Cross said. “We did a decent job on defense. I do not know what our numbers from the line were at the end of the game, but I know they were good.”

Jaquish led the team with 24 points and 16 rebounds while adding eight blocked shots and four assists.

Slattery followed with 13 points on two field goals and a total of nine free throw makes in 12 attempts. He also added six assists and three steals.

Joe Stahl, the freshman guard who was inserted to the starting lineup after filling in for Slattery while he was out due to illness, added 12 points, four rebounds and three assists. Another freshman who benefited during that stretch, Dylan Trombley, scored five points.

“The young kids played well,” Cross said. “Joey is a freshman with size and great skills. He defends well and he can shoot from range.”

Noah Gilbo scored four points while grabbing five rebounds and two steals. The other lone point went to Ryan Jaquish, who combined one free throw make with four rebounds and one steal. Jarrod MacDougal added two rebounds and one assist, while Sam Russo collected one rebound.

“Everyone stepped up and did something when they were called on,” Cross said.

Up next for the undefeated Vikings is the NYSSWA top-ranked team in Class D, Bridgehampton, with an 11:45 a.m. tip at the Glens Falls Civic Center. The other state semifinal at 10 a.m. pits International Prep at Grover against the defending Class D champion, New York Mills.

Last season New York Mills, the top-ranked team in the state at the time, defeated the Vikings in the 2014 Class D final four.

“It’s a familiar story, we are again playing the No. 1 team in the state,” Cross said. “I am not sure what to fully expect. I have seen a little tape on them.”

The sporting life: Old as the hills, fresh as the rain

A

s has been my custom for more than a decade or so, I recently spent another fine, March day traveling down Schroon Lake way in order to attend the annual Adirondack Sportsman’s Dinner. The popular annual event has become a rite of Spring, and it always provides me with an opportunity to visit with old friends, and to catch up on their goings-on.

The event, organized by nearly three dozen Ministries located throughout the Bible Belt of the Adirondacks, always draws a crowd and this year was no different. It is sort of a woodman’s rendezvous, although there were plenty of woodswomen in attendance as well.

Speakers for this year’s, 20th anniversary gathering included former DEC Forest Ranger Gary Hodgson, as well as retired DEC Biologist Mark Brown and current DEC Region 5 representatives Ben and Sharon Tabor, who offered seminars on furbearer management and tick management.

Also on hand was wilderness survivalist Marty Simon, trapping expert Bo Moses, waterfowler Mark Pepin as well as Melanie and Roger Houck who provided a seminar on “Getting jiggy with Perch.”

Additional seminars included Basic Emergency Food Storage with Brendan Riordan, Beginning Bowhunting with Terry Bice and his wife Vickie’s wonderful presentation on getting children involved with Nature through song. Paul Jensen, another DEC wildlife technician completed the state’s slate of speakers with a popular presentation on Big Cats of the Adirondacks. As usual, I also offered a seminar on Backcountry Brook Trout As always the Salarno Boys provided a wonderful display of their big racked, Adirondack bucks, as well as presenting two seminars on “How to Track Big Bucks in the Adirondacks.”

Dr. Paige Patterson, a “preacher who packs a pistol” and a worldwide sportsman with over 30 world class game trophies provided a wonderful and humorous keynote address to cap off the event.

Although I’ve joked that the event is likely the largest, redneck reunion north of the Mason Dixon line; it is also one of the most enjoyable and informative gatherings of sportsmen and women I’ve had the pleasure of attending. The food was great, the company friendly and the overall administration and presentation of the event was simply incredible. However, I wasn’t surprise, as I’ve discovered that anytime you can get a large group of Adirondackers together, you know it’s going to be a good time.

I couldn’t help but notice there were also a large number of children and teens attending the event. It’s a very encouraging sign, for if the future generation of Adirondack residents are getting out to enjoy the local woods and waters, they will learn to appreciate the outdoors, and theyenjoy it, they will want to protect it. And when local

youth are out enjoying the nearby wilds, Physicians and educators now agree, “They behave better, have longer attention spans, and often exhibit increased self-confidence and express a more positive self-image.”

Further evidence suggests “a meaningful engagement with nature as a child has a direct correlation with involvement in environmental issues in the future, which should be of great interest as communities look for the next generation of environmental leaders.”

Additional research from studies conducted for the Child&Nature Networks indicate “spending time in the open air and learning outside has also proven to increase students’ ability to think creatively and improve problem-solving skills.” The study also revealed “students who play and learn in outdoor settings perform better on tests, have higher grade point averages (GPAs), and cause fewer classroom disruptions.”

There is also considerable evidence indicating “outdoor adventure programs can impact positively on young people’s attitudes, beliefs and self-perceptions.” Benefits include “an increase in self-concept domains such as independence, confidence, self-efficacy, and selfunderstanding.”

Time spent outdoors also results in “an increase in personality dimensions such as assertiveness, emotional stability, achievement motivation, internal focus of control, and reductions in aggression and neurosis. It has also been shown to improve mental strength and interpersonal dimensions such as social competence, cooperation and interpersonal communication skills.”

With such tangible results, it would seem reasonable that local school districts may consider developing formalized outdoor education/recreation programs, which would surely be a win-win situation for both the students and educators.

Back to Camp-It’s nothing new

The tangible benefits of the outdoor life have long been recognized by those that regularly share in such wild pleasures.

In fact, the same benefits have likely been shared by campers and outdoor travelers since man first took to the woods.

Recently, while leafing though a collection of turn of the century adventure manuals, I’ve discovered a treasure cove of quotes regarding the topic of outdoor adventure, circa 1890-1910. Here’s one is from F. H. Revell in his book, Camp-Fire Musings, copyright, 1912.

“There is an impalpable, invisible, softly-stepping delight in the camp-fire which escapes analysis.

Enumerate all its charms, and still there is something not in your catalogue. There are paths of light which it cuts through the darkness; there are elfish forms winking and twisting their faces in the glowing, ash-veiled embers; there are black dragons’ heads with red eyes, and jaws grinning to show their fiery teeth; the pines whisper to the silence; the sentinel trees seem to advance and retire ; you may hear the distant scream of the wolf, or the trumpet of the moose, or the note of a solitary night bird, or the more familiar note of the loon surround and conceal some other delight, as the body veils while it reveals the soul.

The Way of the Woods: A Manual For Sportsman by Edward Breck was published by The Log Cabin Press in 1908. The book’s forward explains: “The pursuit of health and happiness, of the countless delights to be secured in other way than by living the free life of the woods -this is our object. It is to forget the ticker and the ledger; to to get out of our ears the jingle of the telephone and the clang of the electric.

The querulous voice of the nerved racked struggle-for-lifer, and the noises of the filth-encrusted pavement; to banish from our eyes the tense, distracting scenes and from our nostrils the noisome smells of city life-in a word to escape from the soul -racking artificiality to the soothing ministrations of the Great Mother.

For the average man, it is not good to be alone in the woods. Unless one is a hermit by nature the pleasure of the trip will be greatly enhanced by having the companion with whom to share the beauties, the successes and even the hardships of the trail.

The joy of shared anticipation and preparations is double and also that of fighting the battle over again after the return. The choice of a companion is most important, for a mistake cannot commonly be rectified. Next to choosing a wife, it is life’s most delicate problem, for in no other situation does a man so inevitably depend upon the company of another.”

A Handy Volume for Devotees of Tent and Trail by L. E. Eubanks published in 1899 details the benefits of outdoor recreation.

The custom of taking outing and pleasure-excursions is becoming more general each year. As the summer approaches we long to desert the dusty pavements and the confines of store or office, and wander in delightful abandon, through the shady woods, to escape for a fortnight from the worry and care of exacting routine and be a child again — a child of Nature.

I have said that the vacation custom is spreading, but I must qualify this statement; there yet remain many who plead lack of time, and continue the monotonous grind despite all remonstrance of body and brain.

There are men so constituted that they seem to endure any amount of indoor work and retain health; but, in time, this too strenuous application tells on all according to the strength of their respective constitutions. Determine to forget everything but health and pleasure, and enjoy the trip to the fullest extent.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.
