TICONDEROGA — Now, it’s about getting their message out to the voters.

The Ticonderoga Central School District Board of Education voted unanimously to let district voters decide on a new capital improvement project to address several issues on its campuses.

The board heard from CS Arch during a special board meeting March 24.

The company, who handled the building survey for the school district, presented plans for a $7,316,483 project which would include work at the school’s track and football field, elementary and high school roofs, along with the high school auditorium.

Superintendent Dr. John McDonald said with retiring debt and other factors, residents of the district would not see an increase in their taxes over the length of the bond.

“Our budget picture looks a lot better and we could start looking at a capital reserve fund for the project,” McDonald said.

Schroon Lake CS archers fare well at state shoot 10 qualify for national event; fundraisers set for trip costs

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

SCHROON — Students at Schroon Lake Central School are learning to hit the mark, and are doing it well.

The school’s archery club was one of the top performers at the 2015 state archery competition at Rome

Free Academy March 7 as the Wildcats placed second in the High School Team division with 3,052 points.

“We missed first by only 18 points,” archery coach Mike Sharp said. “We had five of the top 15 overall boys and four of the top 20 overall girls, 25 students ranked in the top 10 of their grade level and we placed first, second and third for Elementary Girls division.”

The club had 10 of its 35 student-archers qualify for the national competition, which will be held May 7-9 in Louisville, Ky. Those students include Derek DeZalia, Ben Wisser, Supakrit “Him” Techatanakit, Dakota Gadway, Jack Higgens, Brooke Brown, Daw-

son DeZalia, Shaelan Finnerty, Shelbie Rice and Baileigh Hornick.

Seven of the qualifiers will be headed to the Bluegrass State for the NASP National Competition hosted by the National Archery in the Schools Program.

The club will be hosting a pair of fundraisers to help pay for the trip.

On April 7 and April 9, there will be a parent archery clinic put on by the club from 5 to 7 p.m. The clinic will cost $10, with all proceeds going towards the national endeavor.

Ticonderoga looks to future of town-owned buildings

By Keith Lobdell

The Ticonderoga highway garage is high on the list of buildings in need of repair, or potential replacement, among properties owned by the municipality.

TICONDEROGA — An architectural review of town-owned buildings is nearing completion, and officials will soon start looking to prioritize the needs at each location.

The architectural study was commissioned by the town council to identify needs at several buildings owned by the town, including the Town Hall, Heritage Museum, Black Watch Library, Armory buildings, police department and highway garage. ÒT he hall, museum, Armory and library are buildings we want to make sure are secure and here for many years to come,” Town Council member and Building and Grounds chair Dave Iuliano said. “We want to make sure these buildings are here to stay and we do not have to build new ones.”

The exceptions appear to be the current police station and highway garage, where Supervisor Bill Grinnell said the town is looking at all of its options.

“With the police station, we are becoming very firm in where we are going with a fairly simple solution,” Grinnell said, referring to the potential move of the department to the maintenance building on the Armory grounds.

“The highway garage is a lot more complex,” Grinnell continued. Ò There are many areas of concern which need to be addressed and the main issue is how do we do that? It is time to start getting into the details there.”

The current highway garage was built in the 1950s, and Iuliano said it is more than just age contributing to its potential demise. Ò The building sees a lot of salt and corrosive chemicals along with a lot of wear and tear,” Grinnell said.

For any work on the town buildings, Grinnell said the top priority is to find appropriate funding sources. Ò We need to set a priority list as to what projects will be addressed and funding will be a crucial part,” he said. “We want to do this in a manner which does not have us borrowing funds.” Ò The board has been working for several years to set money aside so these buildings can be secure for the future,” Iuliano said.

Early reaction mixed to potential Ti Police department move

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ There has been mixed reaction to the announcement by town officials seeking to move the Ticonderoga Police Department from its current location to a maintenance building on the Armory property.

Bill Barnhart, a former teacher who lives on Amherst Avenue, said he had several concerns and relayed some of those to the board last year during the budget process.

He also wrote a letter to The Times of Ti saying he was concerned for increased traffic, increased noise, safety and decreased property values, as well as stating he felt it was not a good location in general. Ò Do we really want our police department hidden away in a residential area,Ó he stated. Ò Ideally, I believe the police department should be in a highly visible area. We want visitors to our town to have quick and easy access to the police. We want people who need to talk to the police to have a location that they feel secure in, away from the general public. A residential area does not provide this.Ó Barnhart added he felt people who reside in the area should have been more involved in the process. Ò I had heard nothing until I saw the article in The Times of Ti,Ó He said. Ò I would have thought someone from the board or the supervisor would have reached out to me and the other concerned residents well before

this.Ó Barnhart said he was not against the police department and understands the need for a move from their current building, but describes the current proposal as a Ò well-intentioned but bad idea.Ó Ticonderoga Central School Board of Education President Fred LaVallie said the board had discussions about the potential of the police station moving closer to the school when it was previously brought up. Ò We have talked about it a little bit,Ó LaVallie said. Ò I think it is good to have a police presence closer to the school. At one point, we were looking to have a police officer have an office in the school.Ó School Superintendent Dr. John McDonald said he would like to have more discussions with the school board over comments he has received from community members since the news broke. Ò We are going to discuss this at the board level more,Ó he said. Ò I have had parents call me already about the situation, I also plan to speak to the town officials and the police department.Ó The Ticonderoga High School building, as well as St. MaryÕ s School where students in grades 5-8 attend in the basement of the Catholic Church, are located on Amherst Avenue, which is one access point to the potential police station. Supervisor Bill Grinnell said the town would make it a point to direct the police department to only use Champlain Avenue as an access point unless in an emergency situation.

Ti building project Continued from page 1 Ò We have the chance due to the retiring of debt to not increase the tax responsibility over the long haul. There are other savings that have yet to be taken into account as well. It is going to take a lot of work and conversation.”

The biggest impact to the tax levy would take place in the 2019-20 school year at around $200,000, which would be followed by a decrease of $161,239 the following budget year.

Toward the end of the bond, there would be $500,000-plus decreases in 2030-31 and 2032-33.

One potential savings area would be in utilities costs, as the district plans to install solar panels as part of the roof reconstructions with the elementary and high schools. Ò The roofs have to be done whether through a project or through the budget,” McDonald said. Ò It is a good time to look at solar panels because it is good to install them with a new roof and we would have a 25-year warranty.”

McDonald said the board would be hosting public information meetings throughout April and early May to talk about the project. Ò The keys that need to be brought out are why we are looking to do it now and why it is important to put the track project with it,” McDonald said, noting the track and field work can only receive state aid funding if done as part of a larger capital project.

Presentations will start with a discussion including members of the school staff.

Board president Fred LaVallie said getting information to the public will be key. Ò I think with our last capital project, we did a great job executing the project,” LaVallie said. Ò But, we did not do a good job getting it out to the voters. We should over-communicate this to them.”

Board member Martin Fitzgerald asked if the board should promote two referendums, one for the main project and a separate vote on the auditorium, which has been the focus of a fundraising campaign to renovate the space.

The project Ticonderoga Central School District will propose a $7.3 million capital project to voters May 19. The project includes: Athletic complex •Reconstruction of track, including adding two lanes.

•ADA compliance of bleachers, including access from parking lot.

•Reconstruction of football field (natural turf).

•Visitor’s bleacher improvements.

•Walk and drives (asphalt).

•Site restoration and stormwater.

•Relocation of long jump and shot put areas.

•Multi-use building (toilets, team rooms, officials rooms, team storage, concessions).

•Replace scoreboard.

•Replace field lighting.

•Replace infield on baseball field TOTAL COST: $2,395,616 Elementary school •Re-roofing, including addition of solar paneling.

•IT/server upgrades TOTAL COST: $2,246,739 High school •Re-roof gymnasium and locker room areas.

•Portico roof/balusters.

•Replace courtyard windows (40 typical windows, 6 auditorium windows).

•Planetarium renovation.

•Auditorium renovation (including asbestos abatement, air conditioning, H-VAC, stage lighting and A/V).

TOTAL COST: $2,674,129 OVERALL TOTAL COST: $7,316,483 Ò I just do not want to see it all go down,” Fitzgerald said. Ò My concern would be if more people voted for the auditorium, then we have a beautiful auditorium, but no roof over it,” LaVallie said. Ò If we show we can have it all together and there is no tax impact, then we should keep these together,” board member John Reale, Sr., said. Ò This has possibilities to benefit the community at large and is a great opportunity to give back,” board member Tracey Cross-Baker said. Ò Some of these items will create new curricula and new learning opportunities, which should be a main part of this.” Ò I think if you are doing PR and you separate these, you are creating more questions to cover and more concerns,” resident John Bartlett said.

Another resident in attendance added, Ò the biggest thing is getting people to believe this will not have a tax impact be-

cause all they will see is the big number and they will not believe you.” Ò I want to make sure we are as conservative as we can be but I want to make sure we have the right numbers in place,” LaVallie said.

The board president also brought up another concern about whether or not contractors would bid on the work. Ò We found last time a lot of people did not want to come to Ti,” he said. Ò We have seen the bidding environment as good and it will continue to be good,” Doug Dickinson of CS Arch said. Ò There are a lot of contractors who are hungry right now. There is also a lot of specialty work in this project which affects contractors who are willing to travel in order to do the work.”

The capital project referendum will be put to voters during the annual budget and school board elections, scheduled to take place Tuesday, May 19.

Times of Ti Editorial

State should charge for rescue operations

W

eÕ ve all heard the warnings from state environmental personnel and local search and rescue officials: Be prepared when entering the backcountry or potentially face dire consequences that could turn an enjoyable trek into a life or death experience.

Two recent search and rescue occurrences on Mt. Marcy this winter drive home the importance of being prepared.

The first scenario on the state’s highest peak (5,343 feet) occurred in January when two young Canadian hikers became disoriented near the summit and spent the night in sub-zero temperatures.

The second happened just a few weeks ago when a mother and her two sons, ages 7 and 11, lost sight of the trail atop Mt. Marcy and also spent a night amid frigid temps and high winds.

In each case, the individuals were rescued by members of the state Department of Environmental Conservation and state police.

While we are lucky to have such highly skilled search and rescue personnel in New York and the Adirondacks, these cases should without doubt reopen the dialogue around just who should foot the bill for these operations, especially when negligence is involved.

We believe the cost should be born by those who do not heed the warnings to be prepared Ñ most notably in extreme climate conditions like those that occur in the winter.

The price of a typical search and rescue operation can be staggering Ñ running into the tens of thousands depending on what is involved in the rescue and the duration of the search. Consider that operating a single rescue helicopter costs about $2,000 an hour and you begin to understand how quickly costs can mount.

At the same time, those that partake in these operations are putting their own lives on the line. The State Police Aviation Unit that responded to both of the aforementioned incidents faced high wind and poor visibility.

That can certainly be a recipe for disaster.

Those that negligently put themselves and others in harmÕ s way by not knowing the terrain and conditions, taking adequate gear, leaving an itinerary or turning back when the conditions warrant it should pick up the tab for their rescue Ñ and they should be happy to do it.

Doing so may just serve as a deterrent to individuals before heading haphazardly into the wilderness unprepared.

The concept of charging for search and rescue operations is not a new one.

A handful of states, including nearby Vermont and New Hampshire, currently have laws that allow a state or county to recoup costs of rescue operations.

After being on the books for nearly a decade, New Hampshire later amended its law, charging only in cases where the victim was determined to have been Ò negligent.” Experienced search and rescue officials and fish and game staff in New Hampshire determine negligence based on a responsibility code that considers a personÕ s actions against what reasonable measures could have been taken to avoid a rescue situation.

Then, the attorney general’s office gets the final say, assessing a fee for the search and rescue that helps fund future rescue operations, training and equipment as well as efforts to educate the public about being prepared before setting out.

Given the rather frequent nature of search and rescue operations in the Adirondacks Ñ and in the wake of these two alarming rescue operations in as many months — we believe it is time for New York legislators to proceed as New Hampshire has and hold those who are negligent responsible for their actions.

In the meantime, the DEC urges anyone heading into the backcountry to properly plan, prepare and remain alert to changing weather conditions. Before planning a hike, the public is urged to visit DEC’s Hiking Safety webpage at dec. ny.gov/outdoor/7865.html for current Adirondack trail conditions.

Those who become lost or encounter a backcountry emergency are encouraged to call the Forest Ranger Emergency Dispatch at 518-891-0235. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor

Relocation well intentioned, bad idea

To the Times of Ti: In August of 2014 I read the following prepared statement before the Ticonderoga Town Board, Ò My name is Bill Barnhart. I reside at 49 Amherst Ave. My family and I have lived at this residence for the past 23 years. I would like to address the Board regarding the possible relocation of the police department from its current location to the armory outbuilding located almost directly across from my residence. I would also like to go on record that I am an ardent supporter of our police department, so I do not consider this to be a police department issue at all. In my former position I had frequent contact with the police and always found them to be both helpful and professional. I am also well aware of the situation with the current police building and financial constraints that the town is facing. As a taxpayer, I applaud the Boards efforts to keep taxes in check while providing exceptional services. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished. I would also like to thank the supervisor and board members that I have talked with for their courtesy and professionalism. I know this is not an easy job and I thank you for your service. My concerns with locating the police station in the armory outbuilding are as follow: 1. Increased traffic, with schools located at both ends of the street, busses in the morning and afternoon, and at other times as well, do we really want our officers heading out on a call from this location? They could literally find themselves blocked on Amherst Ave., as a means of egress.

Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings are especially worrisome as there are services at St. Mary’s which would most definitely block or hinder egress.

2. Increased noise level. This is mostly a very quiet residential area outside of the school bus periods. A very quiet street during the summer months. The current police station is in an area where this noise is minimized.

3. Safety concerns. There is a lot of vehicle traffic and foot traffic at the armory,especially during the school year. Egress onto both Amherst and Champlain could be very dangerous as children walk to the armory for after school programs. There are some very tight turns coming out of that location especially as you egress towards Champlain Ave. Another concern is resident safety, has a detainee ever escaped from the station?

Would we want this to occur in this area especially with the close proximity of the schools?

4. Decreased residential property values. I would demand a lowering of my assessment and I am sure others on Amherst and adjacent areas would demand the same. I have talked with several experts and they all agree that property values would decrease. Do we really want to shrink our tax base?

5. This is just not a good location. Do we really want our police department hidden away in a residential area? Ideally, I believe the police department should be in a highly visible area. We want visitors to our town to have quick and easy access to the police. We want people who need to talk to the police to have a location that they feel secure in, away from the general public. A residential area does not provide this. We want businesses to feel secure. Having the police hidden away in a residential area does not provide this.

I have always been told that I should not voice concerns without offering solutions. I am sure you have looked at some, if not all of these, but here we go anyway.

1. Do nothing. Although the current building is not ideal it is still a better option than moving it to a residential area.

2. Combine with other services, either the fire department, emergency services, or town highway department.

3. Look again at vacant locations in more viable locations such as the old Rite Aid building.

4. Seek funding through grants. As a former grant writer I would be happy to assist in any way possible.

In conclusion, I would like to thank you for giving me the time to voice my concerns. I am hoping that I will hear that you are moving in a new direction.

I had heard nothing until I saw last weeks article in The Times of Ti. I would have thought someone from the Board or the Supervisor would have reached out to me and the other concerned residents well before this. Another concern that I did not mention is the Senior Citizen’s site.

There are no parking spaces; you will see vehicles parked on the road, leaving very little room for other vehicles to pass through. Safety and liability concerns are real and evident. Please call/write and plan on attending the next Board Meeting to oppose this well intentioned but bad idea. Thank you for your support.

Bill Barnhart Ticonderoga

Community spirit abounds To the Times of Ti: Jason Kelley and I were recipients of a tremendous fundraising event Saturday, March 21, at the Minerva Firehouse. I canÕ t say enough for the outpouring of goodwill. Thanks, thanks, and thanks again to the organizers, volunteers, contributors (from everywhere), and those who came to the event and were so generous.

All of you represent community spirit at itÕ s best.

Thank you caring people heroes To the Times of Ti: This is an open letter to the Care Givers at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital. My good friend Ronald C. Robert died Sunday, March 1 and I would like to say “thank you” for the kindness you showed, especially at the Saratoga National Cemetery. IÕ m sorry I didnÕ t write your names down especially the young lady who was a pall bearer next to me.

I am very proud of all of you. Hopefully some time in the not so distant future, I will have loving caring people heroes like you by my side. May Jehovah look over you and keep you safe.

With my deepest thanks George W . Phillips Chestertown

Schools provide services To the Times of Ti: In your editorial of March 3, you chose to question if our local school districts are doing enough for their communities. I would have enjoyed your editorial more if you had researched and highlighted the many opportunities our local school districts and their employees provide for our communities.

Perhaps I misunderstood your intent when you said, Ò É it is time that school officials recognize that these buildings can be more than just places we educate our children.” “Just” seems a little dismissive when referring to the facilities where our children spend twelve years of their lives and receive the foundation of information and training that will take them to adulthood.

My real concern is that with a single phone call, or visit to the ElizabethtownÐ Lewis Central School website or those of any of the neighboring school districts, you could have obtain information regarding a number of activities that were open to the public: musicals, athletic competitions, academic presentations, and club and community events, including, but not limited to, scout meetings, walking clubs, 5K and 10K run registrations, and more. More importantly, you could have obtained a building use form, and applied to sponsor an event that would provide the community enrichment that was suggested in your editorial. Building use information and applications are readily available from all area school districts.

Another suggestion that you made was that school districts should consider budgeting for services and employees to support community based events. Community events and activities are supported by their local school districts with in-kind services whenever possible; bus transportation for summer youth programs, custodial support for meetings and events, etc. But, each school district has a budget and carefully balances their fuel costs, turning the heat down at night and during vacation periods, and carefully monitoring their custodial and maintenance costs, as well as covering the costs of their mandated responsibility Ð public education. NYS law regulates how tax payer financed public institutions may use their funds and facilities, and I am sure that you didnÕ t mean to encourage our local districts to violate our trust.

I hope that your editorial was intended as a journalistic “seed” to encourage all of us to make the most of our investments as tax payers in utilizing our school facilities to the best advantage, and I look forward to the next Valley News press release highlighting a Denton Publications sponsored concert, fundraiser, spelling bee, scrabble tournament, memoir writing club, etc.

Safety clarification needed To the Times of Ti: I enjoyed the Adirondack Outdoors article titled Ò Ice/cold water training in Bulwagga Bay”, but it does contain an error, where it states Ò ...cold water isothermic temperatures, which maintains the water at 39.2 degrees under the ice, ...”. Water has a curious physical property that it is most dense at a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 degrees F). In lakes that are deep enough and where there are no disruptive currents, after ice forms the water becomes density stratified.

Immediately beneath the ice, the water temperature is 32 degrees F, and the water becomes warmer at depth, reaching about 39.2 degrees F at around 40 feet, since the most dense water settles beneath the lighter, colder water.

In the spring after ice-out and after a warm calm day, the surface water is warmed and becomes more dense and settles, setting up a convection cell that brings water and stinking stuff from the bottom of a lake to the top. In the Adirondacks, we always called that the spring turn-over of a lake. I was a Special Scientist/Numbered Air Force Project Officer when on active duty in the USAF back in the late 1960Õ s and was in charge of a C-130 outfitted for remote sensing research. I had the airplane fly a night mission using thermal infrared imagery over the Adirondacks one May around 1969 or 1970. The flight coincided with the spring turn-over, and the imagery showed the convection cells clearly. The following winter I plumbed a number of the lakes and ponds and found that the convection cells only existed where there was at least 40 feet of water.

But the bottom line here is that immediately beneath the ice on a frozen lake, the water temperature is 32 degrees F and not 39.2 degrees. Thermodynamics require this conclusion as well.

Good Friday

I

s Good Friday good? No doubt that question has never crossed your mind. My mind? LetÕ s just say itÕ s different from most. You might even day it’s a bubble off plumb. But things that puzzle me, are often mundane to others. So be it.

Many of you know IÕ m the son of a preacher man. I was brought up attending church several times a week and was exposed to things theological from the time of my first breath.

Rev. Russell Little and my mother, the late Alta Grace Little, were immersed in their faith and tasked

by Gordie Little with spreading the word. They were good at it.

Little did they guess that their errant son Gordie would become Catholic when he married Kaye on May 4, 1974. The fact is, I am a much better Catholic than I was a Protestant. Being a good person is, for me, far more important than any dogma coming down from a church pulpit.

Sunday is special to me. Kaye and I enjoy the feeling we get inside our church. It enables us to focus on the things for which we are grateful and to offer up our fervent prayers for those who are part of our intentions.

As a young lad sitting in the front pew of my dadÕ s church, drawing pictures of WW II airplanes in the fly leaf of a hymnal, I developed an almost genetic understanding of the scriptures. The Passion of Good Friday left a lifelong impression on me. Listening to my fatherÕ s bombastic voice with no electronic amplification, I was moved by his rendition of ChristÕ s words on the cross.

It was frightening to me, as I could see and hear with my mindÕ s eye, that His moment of death seemed so final. But, as I grew older, Good Friday moved into context and I knew that Easter with its figurative and hopefully, literal sunshine would soon be here. Was Good Friday good for Little Gordie Little? Not at all, until I could grasp its true meaning and the promise of the resurrection and everlasting life.

For many years on the radio, we suspended normal programming on Good Friday afternoon and played appropriate somber music. Many area businesses closed for a time so shoppers and employees could attend church and note the import of the day.

If you expected me to offer the definitive word on why we call it “Good” Friday,” you anticipated more than I can deliver. IÕ ve done the research, though, and can draw my own conclusions. Is it good because we believe that this time allows us to celebrate Easter as the culmination of perhaps the most crucial part of our beliefs? Is it because the word “good” evolved from the word “God.” Or, could it have come from an earlier meaning of “holy?” It certainly is holy and, for me, is good because of its real meaning.

IÕ ll leave it for you to decide. Incidentally, some Biblical scholars argue that it was at 3 p.m. Wednesday, not Friday, when Jesus was crucified. They say he was in the tomb for three days and three nights, so the actual resurrection didnÕ t take place at sunrise on a Sunday. While the controversy continues, none of this taints my view of Holy Week culminating in Good Friday and Easter. It doesnÕ t matter to me whether the actual day of crucifixion was Wednesday or Friday. IÕ ll join others in the accepted Friday commemoration. I am just thrilled to believe in the miracle of Easter and all that it implies.

Excuse me while I close my eyes and recall my late father’s Good Friday reading of the scripture. For me it will be a holy Friday and a good Easter as well.

And please donÕ t ask me to tell you why we call the day before Good Friday, Maundy Thursday. Just take my word for the fact that is has something to do with the Last Supper in the Upper Room when Jesus said, Ò A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”

Words to live by.

Ticonderoga to Select Class of 2016 Distinguished Young Women

TICONDEROGA — After weeks of rehearsals, Ticonderoga’s 53rd annual Distinguished Young Woman scholarship program will be held Saturday, April 18, 7 p.m., at the Ticonderoga High School auditorium.

All seats will be $7 and the doors will open at 6:15 p.m.

For those who are familiar with this longstanding tradition formerly known as Junior Miss, it will seem unusual for a spring production for this talent-based scholarship program. However, change is necessary at the local level because the state-level Distinguished Young Woman of New York program has reorganized its operations as it continues to meet the needs of young women today. Most notably, the finals for the New York state program will now be held in August - just prior to the start of a studentÕ s Senior year. To ensure the Class of 2016 has an opportunity to participate in this long-standing tradition, a second local program must be held during the current school year and participants for this spring event are now members of the Class of 2016, the current Junior class.

Distinguished Young Women is a national scholarship program that inspires high school girls to develop their full, individual potential through a fun, transformative experience that culminates in a celebratory showcase of their accomplishments. As one of only five local programs currently in New York State, Ticonderoga’s program has provided this opportunity for more than 400

young women and awarded more than $200,000 in scholarship monies over these 50 years. For the class of 2016, more than $2,000 in scholarships will be awarded at the April 18 event. Evaluation categories include an individual interview with a panel of judges as well as a scholastic review.

The evening stage competition will then include a group fitness routine, individual talent presentations, and a group self-expression number.

Rehearsals began during the last week of January and this yearÕ s participants are a diverse and talented group of students. Contestants from the Class of 2016 include: Jamie Cox, the daughter of Virginia Cox of Ticonderoga.

Ticonderoga students moved by North Country Honor Flight visit

World War II Veterans from North Country Honor Flight met with students at Ticonderoga High School March 26.

TICONDEROGA — The stories and experiences of “the greatest generation” brought a hush over the nearly 300 students at Ticonderoga High School March 26.

The school hosted members of North Country Honor Flight, which helps World War II veterans make the journey to the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. High school students had the chance to ask questions of the assembled veterans as well as watch a documentary about Honor Flight and its mission, which drew in the student body and even led to a few tears. Ò I thought it was great for Honor Flight and the veterans to come here and do this,” senior Cody Shaner said.

Shaner identified with one of the themes found in the documentary. Ò My grandfather served in Korea and he never talked about it with the family until I had to do a project for school where we had to interview a veteran,” he said. “That was the first time he talked about his experiences with any of us.” Ò This was an awesome, great experience Ñ seeing the movie and getting the chance to meet the veterans,” sophomore Kristen Palandrani said.

World War II veterans attended from around the region, including Tony DiFiebbo, a 1943 graduate of THS. Ò I had tears rolling out of my eyes from the memories here at the school,” he said. “I think this brought back a lot of things to the kids here today. A lot of people don’t realize everything that happened in the 40s and 50s.” Ò This has been a fantastic experience, even from the planning work,” high school principal John Donohue said. Ò We were ready to have them come and the kids were excited to have them here. ItÕ s an eye-opening experience to be able to spend some time with some heroes in history and it means a lot to everyone here.”

The school supplied breakfast and lunch for the veterans, while every student went to shake hands or give a hug to each after the presentation. Ò I was very impressed by this group of young kids,” flight leader Barrie Finnegan said. “The attitude they had shows their appreciation for these veterans. We have been treated to breakfast by many of the schools we have gone to, but this was the first time they also gave the veterans a lunch.”

Honor Flight will head on its first mission of the year in May, with four flights planned for the year.

PUTNAM Ñ Vermont State Police responded to a report of people through the ice Sunday, March 29, where they helped to assist six Putnam residents, including three children, to safety.

The six were part of a 13-people fishing party who were returning home around 2:50 p.m. from ice fishing on the frozen champlain waters when their all-terrain vehicles broke through, casuing six to fall into the water, according to police reports.

Those rescued included Charles R. Bain Sr., 65, Charles D. Bain Jr., 40, Duncan Bain, 15 Lillian Bain, 12 Henry Sears, 73, Riley Guay 12, all of Putnam.

THS students participate in Youth and Govt. at state capitol

By Ryan Price

denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Students at Ticonderoga High School were given the opportunity of a lifetime this past weekend as they ventured up and down the halls of the capitol building thanks to one local YMCA-based club.

Through the Youth and Government program, over 600 teens from across the grand state of New York worked in a cummalitive effort in one weekend to simulate the actions of New York state legislators.

A group of local teens were able to take part in this program advocating for New York State, as they acted as delegates for the teens.

“I started Youth and Government due to an interest in law that then sparked and developed into a program of unity and leadership that portrays adversity throughout the state,Ò said high school junior and three year Youth and Government veteran Tim Ryan.

During this fast paced weekend, teens presented and debated bills, lobbied bills, acted as justices, argued cases as attorneys and wrote articles as press reporters.

This program that often develops the future delegates of our states and country encourages

students to grow and speak their opinions.

“Youth and Government has helped me build my confidence and has allowed me to earn great public speaking skills,” said high school

senior and four year Youth and Government veteran Josie Worley. “It has educated me about how our government and current issues in our state.”

Students spend the majority of their time during the duration of the four day conference at the Desmond Hotel and Conference Center in Albany. While at the Desmond, students are able to interact with each other and create friendships that will last a life time. Ò Through the program I have been able to connect with people throughout the state,” said Ryan.

While at the capitol building, students are able to sit in the real life chairs of assemblymen and women and argue cases in actual court rooms.

Worley described the feeling of being in a real life chamber as surreal. Ò When in the Senate Chamber you sit in the actually chairs the senators sit in with their name engraved on the back. Its surreal.”

As student delegates act as servant leaders in this invaluable program often times real life assembly men and women look at students bills as they consider what platform they hope to stand on.

Select members of the state conference will be able to advance in the program to represent New York State at CONA Conferene on National Affairs with teens from across the country.

Ti High School music program performs annual Pops Concert

By Ryan Price

denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A dark and eerie sound filled the halls of Ticonderoga High School as sound flooded out of the auditorium encompassing every available space.

The Ticonderoga Music performed their annual Pops Concert on Wednesday, March 18. Ò The idea of the Pops Concert is to give students the opportunity to play in all sorts of genres,” said high school band director Michael Iturrino. Ò It lends itself to music we donÕ t traditionally play and is often very fun for students.”

This year the concert was dubbed with the theme Ò Supernatural” in hopes to entice listeners and music lovers from all across the Adirondacks.

“We try to theme our concert to help attract more attendees,” said Iturrino.

The idea of supernatural often causes people to think of Edgar Allen Poe, ghosts, or mythical gods, but it doesnÕ t all have to

necessarily have to be scary, said Iturrino.

“The pops concert is energetic,” said Colvin Chapman, Ticonderoga high school junior and music student. Ò Students want to be at the concert, and are motivated and work hard to put forth interesting music.”

The concert band was able to set the tone of the evening by playing a piece entitled Nevermore inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s ever famous poem: The Raven, while the jazz band added its own spin to the theme through the ever popular Santana song Black Magic Woman.

The vocal groups of the high school continued this mythical feeling all the way up to the Andrew Lloyd WebberÕ s iconic Phantom of the Opera that left the room shaking.

“Even if you’re someone who has specific taste in music you can come to this to find something to jam too,” said high school junior and music student Jamie Cox. The concert that is the only concert the music program charges a fee at the door is used as a fundraiser to give out scholarships to various high school seniors at the end of the year and help offset cost of the music departments yearly New York City trip.

Mountainside Christian School to host annual lip sync event

By Randi Stump

SCHROON Ñ Mountainside Christian Academy will be hosting their third annual Lip Sync performance on Friday, April 10.

The fundraising event run by Jaime Goodrow (a SLCS graduate) has become a highlight not only for the school but also for the entire community. Doors will open at 6 p.m. to the Schroon Lake Central Auditorium with the show beginning at 7 p.m.

The evening is sure to provide plenty of entertainment and laughter.

Ò Viewers can expect a broad range of musical performances.

We have stunning solos, hilarious numbers and heartwarming songs,” Goodrow said.

Karl Storman of Pottersville, who has hosted the event for the last two years will once again take the reins, guiding guests through the fast paced and amusing evening. Musical selections include Annie, Frozen, Fiddler on the Roof, The Sound of Music and Beauty and the Beast to name a few. Ò As someone who likes to sing, but isnÕ t great at it, itÕ s fun to have a Ô voiceÕ for the night. Lip Sync is really about acting, and how well you can convince the audience that the voice theyÕ re

listening to is really yours,” Goodrow said.

Goodrow got her passion for lip sync while attending Baptist Bible College where they hosted a lip sync each year.

“It was a really fun event and was always a campus favorite,” she said. Ò I thought bringing Lip Sync to Mountainside would be a fun way to have a fundraiser.”

And it has proved to do just that. A packed house last year helped Mountainside raise necessary funds needed to help run the school. Ò IÕ m really grateful to be able to host the event at Schroon Lake,” Goodrow said. “It means so much.”

Admission for the evening is $5 for adults, $3 for Students and Seniors and $25 for families. Come early for good seats as they fill quickly.

For more information, contact the school office at 532-7129.

The annual lip sync fundraiser will take place April 10 at Mountainside Christian Academy.

They will also have the opportunity to shoot a few ends (rounds) at the end of the session. The second night will consist of a review along with practice time.

During the last portion of the session we will hold a tournamentstyle shoot. All participants will attain a tournament score.”

The competitive juices really get flowing April 11 when the club will host a Family/Student Tournament. The cost will be $5 per archer and any adult wishing to participate in the tournament must attend the two-day clinic for safety purposes. Ò During this tournament, parents are encouraged to compete against their child for ‘bragging rights,’” Sharp said. “Grandparents, aunts, uncles, family friends and all are welcome to participate as well.”

Sharp said he is impressed at how the archery program has grown. Ò Many of our students have developed a strong interest in this wonderful, lifetime activity and I would like to give the community the opportunity to do the same,” he said. “As a parent, there is no better time spent than the time with your child. No better activities foster this opportunity like lifetime activities and sports.”

For more information on the archery program and the upcoming fundraisers, contact Sharp at 532-7164 ext. 3289 or msharp@ slwildcats.org.

Opening day for trout and April Fools

Black smoke and orange flame PUEBLO COLORADO — Over 80 Fire fighters from both the United States and Canada trained for crude oil fires involving railroads at the Security and Emergency Response Training Center (SERTC) in Pueblo Colorado recently. Canadian Pacific Railroad sponsors and pays for the on-going training, to allow fire fighters to get hands on, real life training under simulated and safe, crude oil fire conditions.

The three day training starts with the history of some previous railroad accidents involving fires, such as the ones in Lac-Megantic, Quebec Canada, Aliceville Alabama and Casselton North Dakota. These accidents were reviewed and analyzed as educational tools to show what can happen. We all learn from mistakes.

The first day and a half of class room instruction involves the initial safety training. Personal protective equipment (PPE) including steel toe boots and leather gloves are required to be worn when in the field. During a fire training exercise, bunker gear and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) are required.

From fuel oil chemistry to fire suppression, safety involving each of the topics was highly stressed. Knowledge of fuel vapors and inhalation hazards with crude oil, such as hydrogen sulfide are critical skills.

Specific density and vapor pressure of fuels are taught because the oil can either float or sink in water, and vapors can rise or settle in the atmosphere. It makes a difference in how you handle the emergency.

Rail car design and construction was covered, involving the older general service heritage DOT-111 cars, and the newer updated CPC-1232 models. Improvements in car construction include larger pressure relief devices (PRD), thicker steel in head shields and protective structures around the PRDÕ S, vacuum relief valves and other fittings. Double shelf couplers, brake systems and other safety devices were also covered.

The use of Alcohol Resistant-Aqueous Film Forming Foam (ARAFFF) for extinguishment and vapor control are covered before any on site HOT ZONE training begins. Constant monitoring of the site is required for vapors and lower explosive limits (LEL).

Fire fighter safety is always stressed and is the number one priority at the training facility.

Once the class room training ends, hands on, in the wreckage field, live fire training begins.

The training site has dozens of railcars of all types strewn around in a simulated rail accident. Rail cars are piled on top of each other, twisted and breeched. Rail road cars, with all the hardware such as the wheels and springs and truck components called “jewelry” to the railroad, are cast about the site.

Using a combination of propane and crude oil for accelerants, fires are initially set under exacting conditions, using out of service rail cars. Both pools of oil and propane streams are used as ignition sources. SERTC trained staff, man valves to shut off the flow of fuels, in the event of an emergency while training. The initial fires start with a small pool under a railroad car.

When fuel is burning, depending on if a valve is leaking or if an up-right car is ruptured during a railroad accident, adding water to the mix causes what is termed slop-over. The oil and boiling water cause a pool to overflow, like a cooking pot on a stove. The hot flaming slop over, runs over the ground spreading like a burning blanket, covering anything in its way. The fire can spread out of control under this condition. Black smoke and orange flames everywhere!

The burning fuel then heats the steel of the railroad car during this process and this causes the oil inside the car and vapors to expand, which then causes the pressure relief device to actuate.

Once activated, a vapor is released which then catches fire causing a 40 foot or more pressurized flame.

Fire fighters are taught the “if and when’s and how’s”, to approach the burning conflagration and the proper use of water and foam. Risk versus Benefit!

Water is used to cool the cars first. Cooling of the cars is taught, before any foam is applied. Alcohol Resistant- Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AR-AFFF) is used to suppress vapors. Once the cars are cooled, foam can then be applied by various methods to form a blanket, which is then pushed into the fire with hose lines.

While training, for one burning car, 20 gallons of foam where applied and five hose lines were used to extinguish the one very small rail car fire. Man power including cooling teams, foam application teams, foam dispensing teams, runners and command involved a 20 firefighter team for the training.

By Rich Redman In a real life situation, the safety of the surrounding area and people needs to be considered first! Following an incident action plan, notifications need to be made, evacuation zones, traffic control, water sources, foam needs, and protecting the perimeter of the fire area all need to be considered and priorities made. In the event of an actual large fire, hundreds of responders including fire fighters, medical staff, police and DEC staff would be on hand.

Dozens of large containers of foam, along with thousands upon thousands of gallons of water could be needed, depending on the size of the incident.

Crude oil fires may not get extinguished until many hours after the initial fire. It may be safer in the long run to ALLOW the fire to burn down a tactic called, NON-INTERVENTION. This decision is made when supplies of water, foam and man power are limited, or if the fire is so intense, knock down is not feasible and there is an immediate threat to life. Risk versus Benefit.

Environmental concerns may be reduced by allowing the fuel to burn. Adding water may cause the fuel to flow into wetlands or lakes and cause more damage and a costlier clean-up. Diking and damming to control and direct flows or contain runoff and crude oil or fuel flows may be utilized. Containment areas may need to be excavated to collect the fuel.

Every situation is different and the call will be made when it happens in conjunction with the railroad, fire coordinators and fire departments, HAZMAT, DEC environmental staff and state authorities if possible, following an incident action plan (IAP).

PRE –PLANNING by Local Emergency Planning Committees is a priority to evaluate access, exposures, water supplies, evacuation routes, shelters, utilities, scene control, mutual aid, ambulances and hospitals. The towns, county and state need to meet and establish actions that will be taken in the event of an accident.

Both short term and long term needs must be met.

You can’t plan after it happens. That is chaos.

The bottom line is when a rail road car with 30,000 gallons of fuel is in an accident, the energy and mass of the cars piling up could cause a rupture. A breech will allow product to spill out.

It may just be a pool of oil, or it could be a catastrophic fire. Fire impingement on neighboring cars or exposures leads to the rapid spread and potential conflagration.

Fire fighters train for such an event, and local governments need to pre plan. Training, drills and exercises are required to keep emergency responders sharp. A failure to plan is a plan to fail!

If you are not trained properly, you become a liability!

This Canadian Pacific Railroad crude oil fire training involved fire fighters from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, the Iroquois Nation, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota and New York.

Local fire fighters attending the course included Frank Gilbo, Rob DeFelice and Phil Smith from the Port Henry fire Department and Jackie Grant, Brian Collupy and the author, representing the Essex County HAZMAT team. Fellow firefighters from Ballston Lake and Troy, NY were also there to learn.

It didnÕ t matter who you were or where you were from. We all worked as a team with the same goal; safety first, learn crude oil fire tactics and have some fun.

Rich Redman is a retired District Conservationist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and an avid outdoorsman. His column will appear regularly. He may be reached at rangeric@nycap.rr.com.

Pictured is the author, Rich Redman and Brian Collupy of the Essex County HAZMAT team at the Security and Emergency Response Training Center (SERTC) in Pueblo Colorado recently.

esearchers finally confirmed what most children already knew, which is the fact that outdoor recreation provides a variety of important benefits beyond the obvious fun and games.

According to recent national studies, outdoor play also positively affects a wide range of wellness dimensions including self image, nutritional, spiritual and intellectual health, enhanced social skills, self confidence and stress management opportunities.

While fun and games are certainly beneficial, it is also important to recognize the importance of playing safely in the outdoors, where weather conditions remain in a perpetual state of flux, and many other environmental factors are subject to rapid changes.

In the North Country, the danger of waterborne recreational activities are significantly amplified during the annual Spring thaw as ice is breaking up on the lakes and ponds, and rivers run high with snowmelt.

At such times, anglers must be extra cautious while wading, even in the most familiar surroundings. Stream banks and stream beds often change from one year to the next, to create log jams, Ô strainersÕ and deep holes.

ItÕ s wise to scout familiar rivers and streams from the banks before wading in. It is equally important to take frequent breaks and get out of the water to warm up.

Not only does cold water sap your strength, it affects balance, regardless of how sure-footed you may be.

When I am wading in the early days of the season, I always keep a thermos of hot coffee in my pack, and I stuff a few hand warmers in the toes of my waders.

Although the annual trout season opener arrived on April 1, it will likely be at least two or three weeks before thereÕ s any regular action on the local rivers and streams. It appears Ô ice outÕ will be similarly delayed on the lakes and ponds.

If you do feel a need to get out fishing, be sure to take all the proper precautions to protect yourself at all times. Even the strongest swimmers are at great risk in such cold, fast moving waters. On the rivers, be especially cautious around log jams and look out for undercut banks and loose rocks.

The best angling opportunities will be found at the base of rapids and waterfalls, or near the inlets and outlets of ponds and lakes.

Salmon, browns and lake trout will also be found around these areas, feasting on spawning smelt and suckers.

In an effort to amplify the safe angling message , it is interesting to note OSHA research indicates fishermen and fishing related activities have the highest risk of injury of all occupations with a rate of 127 fatalities per 100,000 workers.

Logging came in second with a rate of 104 fatalities per 100,000, while airplane pilots ranked third at 71 fatalities per 100,000 workers.

With such obvious opportunity for danger, itÕ s important to take the proper precautions and wear a PFD whenever you are on the water. Fish and have fun, but do it safely. When IÕ m on the water, I wear a lightweight, inflatable vest that fits comfortably under my jacket and inflates automatically when it gets wet. I wear eye protection as well, as polaroid sunglasses allow me to see underwater obstacles, and prevent getting a poke in the eye from hooks, branches or a wildly handled flyrod.

During the early season, when the danger of hypothermia and cold water drowning is amplified, all NY state boaters must wear a PFD. Seat cushions just donÕ t cut it, since the PFD must be strapped on.

While there is no evidence a PFD will prevent hypothermia, it does make recovery efforts more efficient and effective.

NYS Nav. Law Section 73-a.1. requires “anyone underway in a boat less than 21 feet in length anytime between Nov. 1 and May 1 must wear a securely fastened life jacket. This includes canoes, kayaks, rowboats and motorboats.”

Every year, it appears there are fewer and fewer youngsters in the woods and on the local waters. However, the apparent lack of kids in the woods isnÕ t just a North Country phenomenon. ItÕ s actually a trend that’s been recognized all across the country. In fact, it was the subject of a recent National Park Service survey and the evidence suggests visits to national parks have been on a downward slide for over a decade, while overnight stays have fallen by over 20 percent during the same timeframe, while tent camping and backcountry camping each decreased by nearly 24 percent.

Researchers believe the availability of electronic entertainment has a lot to do with the trend, as does an apparent lack of leisure time.

It seems a majority of Americans are just too darned busy to take a walk in the woods, and thatÕ s really too bad, especially for future generations who have traditionally been introduced to the outdoors by family members.

It is a well-known fact that no one is born an angler or a hunter.

However, we all possess the genetic propensity to function as hunter/gatherers, which may explain our desire to chase everything from butterflies to moose and brook trout.

Even though such activities appear to be part of our nature, they still need to be nurtured and refined over time.

Most often this task has been accomplished by a father, an Uncle or a close family friend, who also provides lessons on sporting ethics and outdoor etiquette, which are just as important as knowing how to cast a fly or shoot a gun.

Angling etiquette remains one of the most overlooked skills in the game, despite the fact it is one of the most significant aspects of the sport. Simply put, etiquette is a set of rules consisting of a respect for the woods and waters, the fish, fellow anglers and the law.

It includes a few simple ideals such as donÕ t crowd other anglers, and donÕ t drill them for information. It also requires anglers to respect private property, and congratulate fellow anglers on their catch.

It covers behaviors such as first come, first served, and the necessity of having respect for the fish, the game, and abiding by the law and environmental standards. Most of all, etiquette and ethics teach us the importance of doing the right thing even when nobodyÕ s watching, and to pass along your skills and knowledge to the next generation.

MVAC sends off basketball class of 2015 at annual senior game

By Akashia Swinton

denpubs@denpubs.com SCHROON — High School Seniors flaunted their skills at the MVAC Senior Game on Thursday, March 12, in Schroon Lake.

The girls were up first to strut their stuff. The away team started out with traditional game plan, but quickly went rogue. First, they started planting decoys that would jump on the court as a Ò sixth man” and take the quick score before exiting the court again. Once the home team caught on, they moved on to other unconventional techniques.

For an inbound play, Minerva-Newcomb seniors Astasia Myler and Mackenzie Winslow took the play into their own hands.Winslow climbed onto MylerÕ s shoulders and took the inbound ball right to the rim with was mere inches from WinslowÕ s hands. The away team may have started these questionable plays, but the home team really ran with it.

For one play, several home players fell to the floor which confused the away team and allowed them the easy lay-up. During the third quarter, the entire home bench entered the game and overwhelmed the court, but it was the fourth quarter where everything descended into anarchy. Five extra balls made their way onto the court and there were points scored on both ends of the court simultaneously. The final score was 53 to 45 in favor of the away team.

The boys took their turn after the girls. Where the girls used team tactics to gain an advantage, the boys used their individual skills. The game pace was lightning fast. Many of the three point attempts were closer to half court than they were to the arc and lay-ups were foregone for dunk attempts. The game play was entertaining, but it was the player commentary that truly kept the fans entertained. The Keene Beavers had seven senior boys participating and they stole the show.

With players on both teams, the trash talk flourished and had the spectators in stitches. One Keene senior even started playing defense on one of the referees as a sixth man on the court. One player, Schroon Lake’s Joe Maisonville, stood out for his impressive skills. His ball handling abilities impressed the stands and had his defenders taking double takes. The final score for the boys was 72 to 55 in favor of the home team.

Adirondack Marathon registration now open for 2015 races SCHROON Ñ Registration is now open for the Adirondack Marathon Saturday, Sept. 26 and Sunday, Sept. 27. Race categories are the same as last year, leading off with SundayÕ s headliner marathon distance, 26.2 miles around scenic Schroon Lake.

Pace Bears will again be offering their services to help people reach their goal time. Last year, roughly 50 participants chose the noncompetitive Early Bird Option, perfect for Marathon Maniacs seeking to bag bimonthly marathons or those unsure if they can finish before the five and a half hour cut off. The 7 a.m., start allows for a two hour headstart patrolled by bicycle escorts.

The classic Half Marathon tours the “easier” final half of the course. Following current trends, this is by far the most popular choice, so note that there is a 650 person limit. This is spring,

supposedly, so the old adage applies: Ò The early bird gets the worm.”

The two-person and four-person marathon relays are limited to 50 teams each, either male, female or mixed. The four-person team provides a great option for friends and families of varying abilities, featuring 4.4, 8.7, 5.1 and 8.0 mile legs. With the current popularity of relays, joining a team is a streamlined option for those yearning for the camaraderie of this approach but unwilling to invest the time or money required for the longer events.

Note that registration fees for all races are on a sliding scale with fees increasing after Thursday, April 30, and again after Monday, June 15. Besides making an early commitment, how-

ever, there are other ways to save money. The first 20 active duty military members will receive free entry to the marathon or half marathon. Runners are also invited to join the Running for Good program, powered by CrowdRise. Those who raise $399 for the 2015 bundle of local Adirondack community charities will receive free entry.

Enter this race and you will enjoy a down-home community event supported by friendly residents, hassle-free logistics, easy parking and a breathtaking route. Afterwards feast on delicious goodies, take a refreshing dip in the lake and celebrate the fall season by donning the new fleece jacket.

THS seniors and faculty battle it out for winning shot at annual event

By Ryan Price

denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga High School senior class of 2015 came face-to-face with the faculty in the annual SeniorFaculty Basketball game hosted by the high school yearbook staff on Wednesday, March 25.

Going into the game, the seniors came with a plan to attempt to earn a victory over the faculty and create a winning streak for seniors as started by the senior class of 2014.

Senior coach Ashley Trudeau was able to explain the seniorsÕ strategy and objectives prior to the game. Ò Our plan is to run air raidÕ s (shoot 6Õ s) when weÕ re down by 15 points.”

The senior faculty game is split into two halves of 25 minutes each and allows for six point shots to be taken in four specific boxes placed on the gym floor just below the halfcourt line.

The senior coaches also had constructed an elaborate rotation schedule for their 14 players to always guarantee fresh players on the court. Ò We have to lockdown on the two shooters (Scott Nephew and

Joe Defayette) by playing lockdown defense,” said senior team player Kaleb Wiktorko.

“Our plan has to work or we’re going to fail,” said senior coach Marcus Moser. Ò We need to work together and act as a team in order to be successful.”

The faculty’s coach, high school principal John Donohue, entered the game with having full confidence in his team.

Just as the first half of the game was about to end with a tied score of 46-46, faculty member Dan Dorsett snagged a threepoint buzzer shot breaking the tied score giving the faculty 49-46 lead.

During halftime, the yearbook staff held their annual 50/50 half court shot raffle with the cost of one dollar per shot, Hayden Scuderi won the raffle by sinking a half court shot.

Although it may have seemed the seniors almost gave the faculty a run for their money, coach Donohue still had full confidence in his team due to their years of experience and skills they held.

Throughout the duration of the game multiple players ended up on the floor as the game became more and more intense and the possibility of losing drove them to play more aggressively.

As it came down to the final minutes of the game the seniors slowly lost their touch, as the faculty took the lead and won the game 80-72. Ò We tried to the move the ball well on offense during the second half and not have one drop shots,” said Wiktorko. “We had to move our feet and rebound the ball.”

Both the game announcers, senior Josie Worley and faculty member Jay Wells, said the game was one of the best senior-faculty games in the past couple of years.

“The game was a lot fun,” said Wiktorko. “Playing against your teachers gives you an extra vibe to play harder and try harder.”

“This is a great experience,” said Donohue. “It lets kids see their teachers in a different light through friendly competition.”

The current faculty to senior record is 12-3 with the seniors only winning in 2003, 2009, and 2014.

Members of the senior and faculty teams pose for a picture after the fculty scored a victory over their students in the annual yearbook fundraiser.

We cannot understand why someone is not missing this great dog. Izzy gets along well with other dogs and she is equally friendly with people - she has made herself right at home with the shelter staff. She may be protective in a home setting but she seems to love everyone where she is now. Izzy loves to snack and has a great appetite - if you have treats in your pocket, this sweet girl will gladly follow you to the end of the world.

We think she is around 4 or 5 years old and someone has worked hard with her to teach her good manners - she does very well on a leash and is very neat and tidy in her kennel. If youÕ re looking for a loyal and loving companion and have room for a larger dog, Izzy is the girl for you.
