Bomb threat does not deter THS music students

By Christopher Pratt christopher@denpubs.com

SCHROON LAKE Ñ A Plattsburgh native and graduate of two upstate colleges has been tapped to be the new superintendent of the Schroon Lake Central School District.

Stephen Gratto, 50, who is principal at Northeastern Clinton High School in Champlain, was appointed last week by the board of education to head the roughly 220-student district.

Gratto plans to finish out the academic year at Northeastern Clinton. His three-year contract with the district begins July 1.

The married father of three boys said he plans to relocate and live in the Schroon Lake area.

The advertised salary calls for the position, which also includes duties as principal, to be paid between $110,000 and $130,000. School officials said they were firming up a few details last week and were not able to provide GrattoÕ s salary.

For Gratto, who received a bachelorÕ s degree in electrical engineering from Clarkson University and another bachelorÕ s degree in physics from SUNY Plattsburgh, the Schroon Lake post will be his first stint in the high-profile position of a district superintendent.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ We need to lose weight and get out more.

Reducing chronic disease and slashing obesity are two of the Essex County Public Health DepartmentÕ s top priorities on this yearÕ s wish list.

three years with other local organizations, singled out those two issues as the most pressing and set benchmarks for progress.

Essex County is an unhealthy bunch, with 64.3 percent of adults classified as overweight and 24.9 percent as obese.

Public health officials want to slim those numbers down to 59.3 and 23 percent, respectively.

Nearly 19 percent of the county’s public schoolchildren are overweight; the benchmark is 16.7 percent.

To bring the numbers down to more manageable levels, public health officials have mapped out a twoyear improvement plan to steer residents

back into healthier territory.

With more education on nutrition, and improved access to care, waistbands will start to shrink, they hope.

Public Health Director Linda Beers called the plan a multi-faceted approach that targets numerous areas, including recreation, trail and community garden development and promotion.

FarmerÕ s markets will be pushed; Ò buy localÓ signs will materialize at local shops and stands featuring local items will hopefully be featured more prominently.

Ti music students enjoy trip to NYC despite bomb threat

By Ryan Price

denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ 47 students from Ticonderoga High SchoolÕ s music department recently ventured out into the Big Apple and were greeted with unexpected surprises, good times and spectacular performances.

The music department has been visiting New York City for the past several years as annual overnight trip that consists of a day activity on Friday within the city, shopping and dinner at the Palisades mall, time spent in Times Square and a Broadway show on Saturday.

This year the music department had planned to spend their Friday visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. However, their ambitious plans were abruptly brought to a halt due to a suspicious package found on Liberty Island, as well as a bomb threat.

After waiting for over an hour in line for a ferry that never came, students and teachers were slowly making their way back to the bus when they had the opportunity to be interviewed by ABC Channel 7 news about their trip and inconveniences.

Students were also able to use their time in Liberty State Park in Jersey City, N.J., to visit the Empty Sky 9/11 memorial. The memorial has all the names of those from the state of New Jersey who lost their lives during the 9/11 attacks inscribed in its gray metal walls and was built to emphasize the empty space where the twin towers once stood in the New York City skyline. Ò Visiting the memorial was an eye opening experience that let me realize how many lives were truly lost during 9/11,” music student Nicholas Fitzgerald said. Ò The way the monument aligned with the New York skyline was very creative and appropriate way to honor those who lost their lives,Ó music student Samuel Shelmidine said.

The group left Liberty State Park and enjoyed the remainder of the day playing glow in the dark mini golf in Nanuet.

The musicians spent the next day visiting Central Park, Times Square and attending the Broadway show, Ò On the Town.Ò Ò This trip is all about exposing students to different types of culture,Ó Ticonderoga High School band director and trip coordinator Michael Iturrino said. Ò Many kids donÕ t get the opportunity to leave Ticonderoga and are often times afraid of leaving their small town. This trip gives students the chance to stop being afraid of leaving Ticonderoga.Ó Ò On the Town,Ó which is a play about three sailors who have one night to spend in the city of New York, was a hit amongst students and chaperones alike. Ò Being able to see all the hard work and enthusiasm these performers have for their craft is inspirational for any musician,Ó said Shelmidine. Ò The caliber of talent at a Broadway show is the equivalent of bringing a high school basketball team to an NBA game,Ó said Iturrino. Ò Attending shows like this lets music students see what the top of the music field is about.”

ABOVE: Members of the Ticonderoga High School Music Department were part of a bomb scare situation at the Statue of Liberty during a trip to New York City this past weekend. The group was able to have an enjoyable time during the rest of their trip, pictured here with the Freedom Tower and Manhattan skyline in the background.

Healthy Kids Day set for May 2 at Armory in Ticonderoga TICONDEROGA — On Saturday, May 2, the YMCA Teen Center Ticonderoga, a Silver Bay YMCA program, along with the Ticonderoga Chamber of Commerce, the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership, and the Town of Ticonderoga are hosting a free community event to insure more kids to keep their minds and bodies active.

YMCAÕ s Healthy Kids Day, the YÕ s national initiative to improve health and well-being for kids and families, features activities to motivate and teach families how to develop a healthy routine at home.

YMCAÕ s Healthy Kids Day, celebrated at nearly 1,300 YÕ s across the country, aims to get more kids moving and learning, so they can keep up the habit all summer long - a critical out-of-school time for kidsÕ health. When kids

are out of school, they can face hurdles - or gaps - that prevent them from reaching their full potential, related to hunger, water safety, learning, safe spaces to play, and health. Each year, the Y helps over 9 million youth nationwide “hop the gapÓ and achieve more, providing a safe place to learn, stay healthy, and build friendships. ÒT he Y is so much more than sports and a place for kids to hang out. We support families in developing and instilling healthy habits at home,Ó said Jackie Palandrani, Youth and Teen Director, Silver Bay YMCA. ÒW e know that this can sometimes feel like a challenge. So, at our Spring Carnival themed Healthy Kids Day event, (we) will host community volunteers who will run family friendly games and activities that will help encourage kids to stay physically and intellectually active all summer long.

Play around town - Challenge the family to play on a different playground every week. Identify playgrounds at a variety of parks; expand definitions of playgrounds to include nature trails, a nearby stream, and a bike path.

Families at play for an hour a day - From walking to gardening, or swimming to shooting hoops, make playful movement a part of your familyÕ s day. To get 60 minutes of moderate activities throughout your day just add 10 minutes here and 15 minutes there.

Foster a passion for reading - Read to and with your kids. Help children read at every age and every stage of their development Make sleep a priority - Doctors recommend 10-12 hours of sleep a day for children ages 5-12 and 7-8 hours per night for adults. Sleep plays a critical role in maintaining our healthy immune system, metabolism, mood, memory, learning, and other vital functions.

Employee customer service program planned in Ti TICONDEROGA Ă‘ Businesses are wanted for an employee customer service training, with the first meeting scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2 p.m., in the downstairs meeting room of the Community Building in downtown Ticonderoga.

Even the small towns of the Adirondacks are hubs of year-round activities from arts and recreation to community development programs, all of which help provide a high quality of life for most to enjoy.

Much of the Adirondack economy is based on tourism, which is recognized as a major area for economic growth. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has made several trips to the region to highlight recreational opportunities and has created grant funding opportunities for communities to further develop our capacities to grow tourism.

Locally, the towns of Ticonderoga, Hague, Crown Point, Moriah and Putnam are working together on creating a Destination Master Plan that represents five towns, three counties and two regional wconomic development councils, intended to attract more visitors to the area and entice them to stay longer.

A portion of this plan recognizes the need to increase capacity in several areas, one being a skilled workforce. Workforce Development is an important leg of the community development platform and customer service training has been identified as essential to successfully growing our tourism economy.

Recent and continued meetings with the North Country Workforce Investment Board, OneWork Source, CV-Tec, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce and the town of Ticonderoga explore workforce training opportunities. These include Assembling Industry Manufacturing & Education (A.I.M.E) as well as tourism-oriented customer service training. Plans are being created for both with customer service targeted to be offered in the spring of 2016.

The group is reaching out to local employers who may be interested to participate in assessing the needs for customer service employee training. After this first step, providing input to the development of a curriculum to meet those needs would follow by identifying how instruction will be provided, presenters, classroom space, how students will be recruited and program promoted.

For more information, please contact Chattie Van Wert, Economic Development Liaison Ticonderoga Town Council at 593-9093.

Build it, and they will come

his past March, town officials in Lake George awarded a construction bid for a skateboard park first proposed seven years ago.

About a month later, in Saranac Lake, an 11year push for a skate park in the village reached the $300,000-plus fundraising mark necessary to start pouring the concrete.

We have this to say – finally.

And other municipalities should follow suit in a timely manner.

Underserved If a kid wants to play basketball, itÕ s easy.

Schools, parks, even the hoop in the driveway.

Soccer goals, baseball diamonds, football fields Ð traditional team sports are about as accessible as can be. All it takes is a pair of shoes and a ball.

Teens on wooden decks with four wheels, meanwhile, have been left rallying behind the Ò skateboarding is not a crime,Ó cry for years, dodging authorities as they participate in what was, if not still is, looked upon as a counterculture sport.

TheyÕ re right. Skateboarding isnÕ t a crime.

But property destruction, trespassing, or in some places, riding on streets, is. A town without a skatepark becomes a skatepark. ItÕ s what has put the sport in contention with police and municipalities for decades.

Some places adapted and built parks, providing skateboarders with the same opportunities as any other sport-seeking youth. Studies have pointed toward correlations between public skateparks and a reduction of crime and complaints. Skateboarders seek rails, ledges, stairs, banks, a variety of rideable features, and one would be hard pressed to find a skater who wouldn’t choose a professionally designed park over potholed streets traveled by cars and pedestrians.

With the rise of skateparks has also come a decline in risk. Virtually all skateboard fatalities have happened away from parks, most involving automobiles. Just this April, a 13-year-old skateboarder was airlifted to Syracuse in critical condition after a collision with a truck in Watertown. It’s not the first incident of its kind in the area, nor will it be the last if skateboardersÕ only option is to take to the streets.

And then thereÕ s this: perhaps the most basic but important part of the equation Ð most skateboarders are kids who chose the sport as a way to get outside and be active, a way to spend time with friends or challenge themselves.

Maybe they dream of being great at it. Maybe some will be. But theyÕ ll all enjoy it.

But only if given the chance.

Locals stepping up Through the microscope of the park projects

in Lake George and Saranac Lake, the work undertaken by youth and adults, from the lobbying to fundraising, is commendable. Nearly a third of the price tag for Saranac LakeÕ s concrete park came from village in-kind funds, supporting the replacement of a skatepark that was the basketball equivalent of a dirt court with a bottomless milk crate for a hoop. Even the skaters in that town raised $60,000 themselves.

For the skateboarders who helped make the projects come to fruition, itÕ s been a lesson in patience and perseverance. For the non-skateboarders, the support was a selfless act in recognition that the sport need not be a crime.

But what took so long? Skateboarding Ð as well as action sport cousins like rollerblading and BMX biking Ð made a meteoric rise in the late 1990s. From the X Games to Tony Hawk’s video game franchise, it went from fringe to mainstream.

Skateboarding may have cooled some in the last decade Ð the amount of time its taken to get some local parks funded and OKÕ d Ð but it still boasts nearly 10 million participants nationwide as an established sport.

Build it and they will come These parks will draw local skaters and tourists alike. They may not generate millions in revenue, but a vacation-planning family may take note of a place where a son or daughter can skate. Meanwhile, our area youth will be drawn to a place where they can skate in relative safety. It may be dangerous, but no more so than virtually any other school-sanctioned team sport.

Skateboarders in Saranac Lake and Lake George, as well as our communities that already have parks, wonÕ t have to slink around town while dodging cars and potentially damaging property. This will help erode a longstanding misconception that has likely contributed toward communitiesÕ hesitance to fund parks in the first place – that skateboarders are delinquents.

What if baseball players were forced to find a parking lot in which to swing a bat? Surely the broken windows and dented cars that would result would taint the viewing of them.

No, skateboarders aren’t misfits, nor should they be treated as such. In an era of hours of screen time and youth obesity, we need to embrace recreational opportunities whether they involve a ball or a board. The cost of a lowmaintenance park is a small price to pay when the outcome local kids that are happily active and engaged.

Common Core a bad idea

To the Times of Ti: You began your editorial concerning Common Core with Ò EveryoneÕ s frustrated.Ó So itÕ s logical to surmise that if everyone is frustrated then all of us canÕ t be wrong. When something comes along in the education that irritates teachers, parents and students, then you have the perfect hornetÕ s nest of activity. When these same groups are left out of the discussion, you best expect some push-back.

Your editorial board claims, too, that education has Ò turned into a political game.Ó Well, who turned it into political issue? The politicians, of course, and they have partnered with liberal corporate leaders such as Bill and Melinda Gates and Pearson Publishing. So it goes beyond politics with partisan think tanks and liberal non-educators spreading their tentacles far and wide. Local and state authority are minimized when this happens.

The U.S. put a man on the moon and back to earth with math from the 40Õ s, 50Õ s and 60Õ s. What was wrong with that kind of math curriculum?

Nothing as far as I can tell. TodayÕ s students can hardly add or subtract things in their heads without a calculator. IÕ m guessing the use of calculators is when all of our troubles started. And now they have to decipher squares, cubes, lines, and dots to figure out simple mathematical problems. This is academic stupidity!

Listen, a bad idea is a bad idea. Common Core needs to be replaced with common sense; and what worked 70 years ago still works today. We need to go back to a time where schools taught the basics, taught discipline, and taught real critical thinking. Why try to re-invent the wheel to make 1+1 equal 2.4? It won’t work and it’s clearly evident that everyone is frustrated because itÕ s not of their own doing.

John Sharkey Ticonderoga

To the Times of Ti: Is anyone else disturbed by the Tips From a Former Smoker ads on TV? The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) just announced a new campaign that started March 30. IÕ ve seen one new ad so far. JuliaÕ s story. Julia smoked for more than 20 years before developing colon cancer at age 49. Her “tip” is to have a strong stomach. She explains that if you get colon cancer and have to have your colon removed, you will need to have an ostomy bag taped to your stomach to collect your waste. She talks about always being worried that the bag will smell or leak when she is in public. Julia is incredibly brave to speak so honestly, but as I watched I wonderedÉ will her story and this campaign really make a difference?

The good news is evidence suggests that these ads do make a difference. According to the CDC, smokers report that the ads inspire them to try to quit. And we know that more smokers are really trying after seeing these ads because there is an increase in the number of calls to the Quitline. Take for instance the last campaign that launched in July 2014.

During the three months prior to that campaign, the highest number of calls in one month from Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton counties combined was 206. In July, there were 242 calls (NYS Quitline). That’s a fifteen percent increase!

So as much as I donÕ t want to see the painful ways that tobacco has effected peopleÕ s lives, IÕ m thankful people like Julia are willing to share their stories. They really are making a difference and saving lives.

Article is pro-NYSUT propaganda

Ball a success

To the Times of Ti: Almost a full page of one-sided propaganda for NYSUT (re: ÒN YSUT endoses opt outs following landmark education reformsÓ) How can everyone but NYSUT be so misguided?

The Gov is misinformed. We all use statistics to guide us. In fact, I cannot recall a course I have taken where weekly, monthly, quarterly teacher designed tests were administered, with their weight determining whether I passed or failed.

There was no option to refuse or demand collective bargaining involvement.

I have written many letters to the editor, Press Republican, that accurately cite much of the misinformation and chicanery from the local public education authorities. My last letter responded to the absurd reaction to Common Core.

Yes, it probably has issues, but with concerted efforts, it could work and is needed. If you were honest in your article, you would have pointed out that for over a decade, North Country schools have NOT had sufficient achievement results on NYS ELA, Math, Reading tests.... shameful to the degree that a groundswell of parents DEMANDED that accountability be mandated.

NYSUT does not want accountability. NYSUT is totally self-serving in denouncing Common Core, because it was to be used in teacher evaluations.

I know that you know more than you published: 90 percent of the school budgets are gobbled up by salaries, perks, benefits... with little left for development of creative programs or to support programs that need money.

Bloated benefits, such as insurance buy-backs; free retiree health insurance; gold level health insurance when NYSHIP would save many dollars; increasing teacher aides and assistants when teachers could and should do those duties, such as monitoring lunch recess.

Little and big things that would save money, but will not be addressed because of FEAR that NYSUT/local teachers’ unions will become militant.

And, the absolute disgrace of public educationÕ s ineffective management of performance. Performance reviews are infrequent and bogus leaving poor teachers in place when they should be encouraged to seek other vocations.

This may sound harsh, as many teachers and administrators may suggest, but what about the suffering that under-served students realize.

School is their chance to succeed in life, but NYSUT controls public education so that their personal aggrandizement comes before any sincere consideration of the children, taxpayers, communities...

Your article boils down to nothing less than bias propaganda. It does not discuss any of public educationÕ s deeply-rooted problems resulting from NYSUT packing the boards with their candidates and constantly threatening collective bargaining entrenchment when they do not get most of the loaf.

I believe in public education. It worked wonders for me, but as it stands now it has been kidnapped by NYSUT, who controls the information and organizational process.

Pussy willows

F

irst off, I must publically thank my friends (they know who they are) for dropping by with goodies while Kaye and I sniffled and coughed through our personal encounter with the horrible stomach flu that has assailed this region.

They know Kaye’s affinity for dragon flies and gifted her with a beauty. They brought me a little stuffed horse named Ò Little Bits,” that I will always cherish as the official mascot for these weekly dribs and drabs in the paper.

All the o t h e r cards and good wishes were appreciated more than we can say. One of my dearest friends from a ghost town called Goshen in Peru,

by Gordie Little tapped lightly on the door last week and tiptoed into our kitchen carrying a bucket. I wasn’t sure at first if he had brought us throw-up pail to use for our tummy tumult, or had caught some fish for our frying pan.

None of the above. It was a pussy willow, complete with roots and water and ready for the planting. I was thrilled. He and I have exchanged one or more e-mails each day for years and there are few, if any, secrets that remain unshared.

Our conversations on the computer, on the telephone and at our respective kitchen tables, run the gamut of things that occupy our twisted minds. Topics range from flying C-119 cargo planes and B-52 bombers (heÕ s a retired US Air Force pilot) to drawing cartoons, swatting mosquitoes, antique cars, history and so much more.

He lives near a river bank and so do we.

ItÕ s only natural that our blather would get Ô round to pussy willows. Right? The words elicit so many fond childhood memories for him and for me and, hopefully, for you as well. My mother always had a pussy willow bush or tree near the house. They were the most wonderful harbingers of spring.

We loved bringing in the branches full of socalled catkins (flowers) and the lovely soft puffs that trigger our warm nostalgia.

The official name of the kind that grows in our neck of the woods is Salix discolor, in case you felt an uncontrollable need to know.

My friend says he has planted several on his property and I was hard put to tell him why I didnÕ t have at least one around here.

Now I do. The moment he drove out of the yard, I grabbed a beautiful antique woodenhandled shovel some anonymous person had left here, and strolled out back. I dug a nice hole by the bird bath on the river bank and unceremoniously plopped in the pussy willow, replete with roots, attached grasses and water. IÕ ll watch it and talk to it and nurture it. I truly believe that we can commune with nature in so many ways.

I have learned that, unless you prune them vigorously every year, pussy willows can reach 30-feet in height. I donÕ t suppose we want this one to block our view of the beloved Saranac River, so weÕ ll keep the pruning shears handy. Some gardeners even Ò stumpÓ by cutting them close to the ground each year before the leaves start to appear.

Just being able to bring the branches inside will further enhance our feeling that the seasons have indeed changed, in spite of their apparent reluctance to do so this year.

How many ways have you seen pussy willows arranged and displayed? To me, they are gorgeous stuck in a cracked vase or even an old soda bottle. Some might want to weave them into a wreath or other clever design.

I have learned that pussy willow roots are amazingly prolific and tough. Experts warn against planting them anyplace near your water pipes or septic system in order to stave off possible encroachment. Ò A word to the wise,Ó as my mother used to say.

I asked my friend what kind of pussy willow he brought me. His answer: Ò You have a Chesterfield.” I’m fairly sure that is not a genus or species, but the actual place where he found it by the side of the road and dug it up for Kaye and me.

ThatÕ s what friends do, you know.

Crown Point state historic site prepares for May 9 opening CROWN POINT — The 2015 open season gets into full swing at Crown Point State Historic Site on the busy second weekend in May. Starting on Saturday, May 9, the history interpretation staff will be available from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays to aid guests as they tour the museum and ruins of both of the siteÕ s national historic landmark fort ruins: Fort St. FrŽ dŽ ric and the British-designed Crown Point fort.

Also starting on May 9, the all-volunteer Crown Point Bird Banding Association will open their bird banding station. During daylight hours, the station staff harmlessly capture migrating birds in mist nets and expertly identify each before releasing them.

The bird banders welcome the public to see their work, during their 15-days of operation.

Ask the site staff for directions to the banding station.

On Friday, May 8, 20 re-enactors will set up

tents beside the authentic ruins of Fort St. FrŽ dŽ ric, at Crown Point State Historic Site, on their way to participate in a May 9 - 10 weekend event at Fort Ticonderoga, titled, Ò Before Long We Would Have Reinforcements.Ó After camping overnight near their bateaux on the beach at the tip of the Crown Point peninsula, the Ò French soldiersÓ will depart at approximately 8 a.m. on Saturday to complete their lake travel and reach Carillon (the French fort that preceded Ticonderoga, a British fort in the same spot) at about 2 p.m., when they will re-enact arriving to resume construction of the fort in springtime 1756, a few months after building began there in 1755.

At the end of the month of May, a one-ofa-kind walking tour will be offered at Crown Point State Historic Site. On Saturday, May 30, from 1 until 3:30 p.m., a three-mile extended public outdoor tour of the historic property will take place, free of charge. Led by the expert on Crown Point archeology,

Crown Point second graders celebrated Earth Day and Poetry Month by creating nature-themed “Spine Poetry” during library. To create these poems, students selected four children’s books and stacked them. Each book title represents one line of their four-line poems. Pictured are Tayler Tuthill and Lucas Evens.

Paul R. Huey, Ph.D, who will be accompanied by historian Tom Hughes, this is a unique opportunity to walk the grounds while hearing insights from a career archeologist who has been researching Crown Point for 60 years. Ò My interest in archeology was first piqued at Crown Point in 1955 when I learned about the excavations by Louis F. Ismay and his students in the 18th century village site there,Ó said Huey.

Huey thinks that one thing which makes the archeology of Crown Point State Historic Site still so fascinating to him is, Ò the thought of French and (later) British soldiers at this isolated stronghold, far from their homes in France and England, attempting to adapt to conditions in a strange new world and attempting to recreate the life they had known.Ó Huey recently stated that, Ò as an archeologist, the special significance of Crown Point as an historic site is the wealth of information there that provides evidence about colonial

military and civilian cultural patterns. Crown Point also provides significant information about British and French military equipment, fortification, architecture, and so forth. Finally, Crown Point presents the opportunity to manage and protect archeological resources in a way that new information can be generated through specifically focused excavations while at the same time we are carefully preserving and managing archeological remains as undisturbed resources for future generations.Ó At Ò Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site,” held on April 25, their annual business meeting and elected officers and members of their board of trustees. They expressed their intention to support and expand the public events that will be offered at the site in 2015.

The Friends group invites the public to follow them on Facebook and to attend their May 30 board meeting, to be held in the historic siteÕ s picnic pavilion starting at 10 a.m.

A meaningful thrift shop find for Schroon Lake senior club member

By Ellie Searles

denpubs@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ Carole Ann Greig of Schroon Lake had an interesting day when she went on a senior citizens bus trip to the thrift shops in Burlington, Vt. In the 70s, her father, Lester Peck, lived in Essex Junction had purchased each of his three daughters a set of solid brass wall lamps. Carole Ann wanted them mounted in her home in Vermont. She said she couldnÕ t afford a solid brass mount, so she went to a local plumbing store and purchased some cast iron and according to her, Ò mucked it up to make it look like it belonged.Ó She then had to surface wire it with a brown electrical cord because she didnÕ t know how to do electrical work.

Once that was finished, her husband mounted it to the wall to blend in with the beams throughout the house.

In 2009, when she sold the house, Carole Ann wanted to remove the lamps and take them with her but the new owners said because it was bolted to the wall, it now belonged to them. Try as she might, they would not budge. The new lamps then belonged to the new owners and Carole Ann gave up.

At the Habitat for Humanity Thrift Shop in Burlington that faithful day, Carole Ann spotted the lamps. As she walked closer, she became very emotional because upon closer inspection, she noticed they were the same ones she had Ò muckedÓ up some years ago. She asked how much they were and was told they’d sell them for $25 each. When she told her story, they said they’d see what they could do and when the clerk returned, they agreed to sell them to Carole Ann for $25 for the pair. This thrift shop was located four miles from the house that she sold.

Carole Ann felt she had the find of the day on her thrift shop trip with the lamps that her father purchased so many years ago. Now they were back in her possession.

Carole Ann Greig stands with the brass wall lamps she discovered at the thirft shop in Vermont. The lamps were in the house she had previously lived in.

Nurses week celebrates work of caregivers NCCC director: Nurses have impact far beyond hospitals

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ As National Nurses Week begins to unfold, North Country Community CollegeÕ s nursing program leaders say they plan to pay tribute to their colleagues, take stock of accomplishments made in recent years and push forward with educating talented nurses to meet regional health needs.

Charles Van Anden, director of nursing at the college, said he sees the week as a way to celebrate the important role nurses have in many institutions, Ò not just in the hospital.Ó National Nurses Week kicks off Monday and runs through May 12 -- the birthday of modern nursing founder Florence Nightingale. The annual celebration has been promoted by the American Nurses Association and its affiliates for decades. Besides offering patients a chance to say thank you to their caregivers, itÕ s also used to promote educational initiatives and pro-

grams that help foster the nurses of the future. In recent years, some have raised concerns that the country is struggling to meet a projected nursing shortage. Federal employment data shows that thereÕ s a shortage of approximately 500,000 nurses across the country, with many rural communities facing daunting challenges of not enough health care practitioners. Ò (National Nurses Week) gives you a sense that people are watching and people do care what you do,Ó Van Anden said.

Officials with the North Country program point out that a nursing degree offers many interesting and diverse career paths.

Graduates may work in a traditional hospital setting, but nurses could also find themselves developing health initiatives for companies or conducting consultations with patients over the phone. Ò ItÕ s a wonderful career with many opportunities,Ó Selina LeMay-Klippel, a professor of nursing at the Ticonderoga campus, said.

The North Country program has students on its campuses in Saranac, Malone and Ticonderoga. It graduates about 60 registered nurses and 70 licensed practical nurses each year. In recent years, the growth of the Ticonderoga campus, has placed nurses in a diverse range of clinical locations. Through these placements

the nursing students are able to provide important aid to rural residents. Placements include the Moses-Ludington Hospital and CDPH sites in Glens Falls and Plattsburgh.

With the high demand for nurses, LeMay-Klippel said most nursing program graduates are able to find immediate employment in a variety of settings.

Meredith Chapman, an associate director of admissions at the college, said nursing is one of the more popular programs at the Ticonderoga campus. The nursing student population Ò runs the gamut,Ó Chapman said. A lot of students are right out school while several others are non-traditional students looking for a new career path.

LeMay-Klippel said students who go through the nursing program are held to high standards, and they consistently exceed the average pass rates on licensing exams. Ò WeÕ ve had wonderful results,Ó she said.

The collegeÕ s program offers a students a chance to complete studies needed to earn their licensed practical nursing certificate in one year. After the first year, it transitions into a two-year registered nurse program. For more information on the collegeÕ s nursing program, visit nccc.edu/academics_main.aspx.

How to show a nurse you care N urses are often the first people patients see when visiting hospitals. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources Services Administration, there were 2.8 million registered nurses, including advanced practice RNs, and 690,000 licensed practical nurses, or LPNs, in the United States between the years of 2008 and 2010.

Nurses fill many roles in the medical community, assisting doctors and helping to make in-patient stays more comfortable for men and women who are ill or injured. Specialized nurses,

such as nurse practitioners, may even serve as the primary healthcare provider, offering diagnoses and writing prescriptions.

While there is a specific week set aside to show appreciation to nurses, many people agree that they deserve recognition throughout the year. Any instance is a good time to give back to nurses, and the following are a few ways to honor the nurses in your life. á Play caretaker to him or her. Nurses tend to the needs of others all the time, but some nurses do not get the respite they deserve. Those who want to show appreciation to a nurse who has

helped them in their lives can present the nurse with a gift card for a massage and soothing spa treatment. á Cater a meal. Offer to cater a meal at the hospital or medical office so that all nurses on staff can benefit. If there is one nurse in particular you want to treat, give that nurse a gift card to a nearby restaurant. á Provide foot relief. Nurses spend hours on their feet, and that can cause pain or stiffness throughout the body. Present a gift card to a store that specializes in comfort shoes or custom orthotics. A certificate for a pedicure or foot massage would no doubt be appreciated as well. á Create a charmed existence. Charm bracelets are the rage right now, and nurses may appreciate a bracelet that highlights their career path with specific charms. For something they can wear on the job, treat nurses to a Steth-o-Charm¨ , which is a charm that slides securely onto stethoscopes.

These charms come in many designs and can make for a memorable gift. á Give a decorative badge reel. Nurses must wear identification or have swipe cards on their person to gain access to areas of hospitals.

Many badges are standard items without any flare or style. A colorful or decorative badge reel can be a nice way to brighten up a nurseÕ s day. á Give verbal or handwritten thanks. One of the easiest and most heartfelt ways to show your appreciation to nurses is to simply tell them how you feel. Offer a handwritten note or speak with a nurse in person. Such a simple gesture does not take much effort, but it is bound to make an impact.

ABOVE: Nurses bring smiles to the faces of their patients.

Find out how you can show your appreciation and garner a few smiles in return.

Inside the SUNY Adirondack nursing program

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ May 6 marks the beginning of National Nurses WeekÑ a time to reflect on the care and commitment of nurses across the country and all over the world.

In order to better understand what it takes to become a nurse, the Adirondack Journal was given a lesson and a tour of SUNY AdirondackÕ s nursing lab by associate professor of nursing and Health Sciences division chair Donna Healy.

The dedicated staff and state-of-the-art facilities offered at SUNY Adirondack provide its students with the necessary knowledge and skills to build a career in the field.

The college offers a rigorous 2-year curriculum to earn an associate of science in nursing, which renders students eligible to sit for the licensing exam to become a registered nurse.

SUNY Adirondack recently teamed up with SUNY Plattsburgh to combat the areaÕ s low number of baccalaureate-level nurses, allowing for students to earn a four-year degree at their SUNY Plattsburgh branch campus.

Also, as of last fall, SUNY Plattsburgh now offers two of their classes to SUNY Adirondack students to help acclimate them to the challenges of pursuing their bachelorÕ s of science in nursingÑ a career move that Healy strongly promotes. Ò We encourage all of our students to go on and get a B.S.N.,Ó she said. Ò From the minute they come in here, we are giving them the message that nursing is life-long learning.Ó There is a clinical element to all nursing courses offered on the SUNY Adirondack campus, which starts as a lab, and moves on to a local hospital or other community setting after students’ first semester in the program.

But nursing students donÕ t need to leave campus for the clinical experienceÑ the collegeÕ s nursing lab is home to

multiple simulation rooms, in which small groups of students respond to real-life scenarios that challenge their critical thinking as well as their clinical judgement.

Professors watch from behind a one-way mirror as students respond to these impromptu scenarios on a number of high-tech dummies called patient simulatorsÑ ranging from a small child, to a grown man, to a mother and her newborn baby.

The professors speak as the patient from a microphone behind the glass, and can control their eye movements, skin coloration and even make them sweat.

Students are monitored by faculty from a number of strategically located cameras, which also record the scenario, and the tape is reviewed by students during the routine debriefing after each simulation.

There are generally four students present for each simulation, some of which performing nursing duties and some playing the role of their patientÕ s family members so studentsÕ interpersonal skillsÑ which Healy says are a critical component of the professionÑ can be monitored as well.

According to Healy, one of her students recently visited her office to tell her that two days after he was faced with a simulated post-operation shock patient, he encountered the real thing in his clinical and was sufficiently prepared for the emergency situation. Ô I nailed it,Õ she recalled him saying.

The program is made up of around 220 students at any given time, and graduated students have gone on to considerable success in their licensing examsÑ the board score of the most recent batch of SUNY Adirondack students to take the test for the first time reflected a 94.4 percent success rate.

The program has articulation agreements with multiple area colleges, and graduated students have gone on to work in a number of area hospitals, including Glens Falls Hospi-

Healy said the rewards of nursing are largely intrinsic, and that her students come into the program with the desire to do good and to help people, but that she is glad to have a week that honors nurses for their crucial contribution to society. Ò ItÕ s nice that there is a week that celebrates all that nurses do,Ó she said.

School nurses are often unsung heroes S

chool nurses do much more than apply bandages to playground scrapes. School nurses conduct vital health screenings and are often the security blanket for students who need special care during school hours. Despite all they do, school nurses are often the unsung heroes within the school community.

School nurses certainly tackle their share of fevers, nosebleeds, cuts, and scrapes, but nurses play other pivotal roles as well, calling up moms and dads to pick up their sick sons and daughters, overseeing the schoolÕ s health policies and helping to ensure a safe school environment for students. In addition, the role of the school nurse has changed dramatically over the years. A school nurse may oversee vaccination schedules. He or she also may arrange for assemblies regarding Ò change of lifeÓ seminars for children about to enter puberty.

When there is an epidemic at the school, the nurse is often charged with notifying staff and parents and helping to contain the situation.

Apart from all of the tasks in treating Ò sickÓ children, nurses also are essential in helping to keep children with life-threatening diseases healthy while they are at school. The number of children with serious allergies, diabetes, asthma, and even seizure disorders has increased.

According to the American Diabetes Association, roughly 1 in every 400 children and adolescents has diabetes. School nurses may help administer life-saving insulin shots to children who need them. According to Anaphylaxis Canada, 1 in 50 Canadian children has a peanut allergy, and about 1 to 2 percent of these can have severe or life-threatening reactions. School nurses may treat serious allergic reactions or provide a safe place where children with serious allergies can eat lunch.

In some cases, school nurses become a mediator between home and school. Nurses may indirectly be teaching students as well. Each time the nurse treats a condition, he or she may be educating students on how to avoid that situation in the future. For example, a nurse may impart the importance of eating breakfast to avoid a morning headache or teach youngsters about the benefits of stretching before diving into physical education class.

School nurses are often the unsung heroes of a school, wiping away tears when youngsters suffer an injury at school and acting as a reassuring voice when such injuries are painful.

christopher@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Village officials unanimously approved a 9.28 percent property tax hike last week as part of a budget plan that aims to help the government keep pace with rising operational costs and meet the communityÕ s needs.

For the fiscal year beginning May 1, the vil-

Health Continued from page 1 Officials hope these measures and more will entice county residents to purchase more produce and make healthier decisions.

A recent state foundation grant will help to bolster these efforts, allowing for a pilot program encouraging local schools and institutions to adopt policies that support better nutritional standards.

Trial balloons will be floated at Moriah and Crown Point alongside Elizabethtown Community Hospital and the Essex County Nutrition Program.

Details on those programs are still being worked out. Ò We want to make healthy choices the only choice,Ó Beers said.

Durable connections

The chronic disease prevention element of the county plan, explained Beers, allows the department to reach the entire county through cancer screenings and the Creating Healthy Places Program, which is now in its last year of funding.

That program offers an increase in opportunities to be physically active.

It including the creation of parks, playgrounds and trails in all 18 towns

lageÕ s tax rate will be and estimated $11.78 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value, up from an estimated $10.78 per $1,000 during the current year.

Mayor Ernie Guerin said officials worked to keep the tax rate as low as possible throughout budget talks this spring. Ò ItÕ s just the costs are going up,Ó he said.

At the new rate, a property valued at $50,000 see a tax bill of roughly $589, an increase from about $539 during the current fiscal year. A property valued at $100,000 would see the tax bill increase from about $1,078 to $1,178.

The rate increase is needed to keep up with

in Essex County.

Highlights include the ongoing Thrall Dam project in Lewis and the Viking ship in MoriahÕ s Linney Field. Ò An overgrown, weeded area is now a basketball court,Ó said Beers, Ò and an amazing ship.Ó Beers said these projects take significant coalition building between various agencies and municipalities and lauded Meg Parker, the projectÕ s coordinator.

Long after the grant money is gone, those partnerships will persevere, Beers said. Ò Coalition building is really important for public health,Ó she said. Ò It builds sustainability.Ó

Continued successes

Other ongoing priorities for public health department include communicable disease prevention, which includes screening for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Officials plan to incorporate a constellation of clinics to target at-risk populations.

Whitmarsh also discussed the rabies control program.

Last year, 1,110 animals were vaccinated, with 17 clinics facilitating rabies investigations for possible exposures.

Lyme disease remains a lethal

rising costs such as increasing insurance and labor costs, Guerin said.

Throughout budget talks, Guerin said, officials worked to keep the levy rate down without affecting services residents count on.

Port Henry residents could notice an increase in infrastructure improvements as a result of the approved budget plan, which calls for increased expenditures on highways, streets and sidewalks. Total transportation expenses are slated to be $322,487 during the next fiscal year, up from $277,612 during the current budget cycle.

Guerin said the spending plan will allow a

threat to county residents, a problem officials say is becoming more endemic.

To combat the bacterial disease, which if left untreated, leads to nerve paralysis and joint pains, the department increased public education and awareness at trail heads, golf courses, libraries and the county fair.

Last year, health officials went to each town to educate staffers and hand out tick removal kits. Ò ItÕ s not something we do every year,Ó said Beers.

But the efforts worked.

From 2010-11, the rate was 53.6 cases per 100,000 people. But it saw an uptick in 2012 to 56.2 per 100,000 before skyrocketing the next year to 209 per 100,000.

The department pushed it down to 92 in 2014. Ò Prevention is critical,Ó Beers said.

Other successes health officials highlighted included the countyÕ s WIC program, a program designed to assist women, infants and children.

Their services include providing food vouchers, nutrition education assessment and assisting with networking efforts with other agencies throughout the county. Ò WeÕ re really about helping families have health pregnancy outcomes and helping children to grow up to be healthy adults,Ó said staffer Lindsay

new staff member to be brought on for public works projects. The village public works crew will be increased from four to five positions, he said.

Total spending in the 2015-16 fiscal year is expected to be $1.75 million, village documents show. General fund appropriations would be $926,494.

Budget documents show Port Henry experienced a decline in total taxable village property.

In 2014, taxable property was $49.78 million. It decreased more than a quarter million dollars in 2015, to roughly $49.02 million.

Genier.

Essex County is underserved, she said, and the agency is encouring more families to come forward. Ò We can really help stretch their food dollar.Ó And as the county’s certified home health agency, commonly known as CHHA, nears its 50th anniversary, officials lauded the program as one that allows residents to remain in their homes and received skilled nursing services.

The program, which provides skilled nursing to prevent rehospitalization, is a billable service.

Essex County hasnÕ t had any other private agency to come serve the community and all residents, say public health officials, and the program has exceeded state and national standards for quality measures. Ò Their home nursing is second to none,Ó Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell said. Ò They do a fantastic job.Ó ABOVE: Essex County is focusing on weight loss and chronic disease prevention as two priority projects for this year.

Just the bear facts, man

W

hile the spring season has not yet arrived in all quarters of the region, itÕ s apparently on the way. Despite continuing cold weather patterns and a few, recurring snow showers, spring can be expected to make an appearance before summer arrives.

To date, the spring season has been rather slow to show, as winterÕ s cover has been reluctant to depart from the local ponds and lakes.

IÕ ve already heard the call of a loon, which is usually a harbinger of open water, but the recent call may have been just a long “brrrrrrrrr!, as the loon flew over after encountering another frozen pond.

While loons, and a host of other returning birds are still on the wing, I recently discovered evidence of a fellow spring traveler, when I nearly stepped in a pile of fresh bear poop in the back yard.

The discovery was verified by paw prints in the mud, and the black hairs of a bruin that were found on a nearby tree.

This is a time of year when bears disperse widely while seeking food, after their long, winterÕ s den. At the same time, bears will be staking out their territory by clawing and chewing trees in an effort to provide both visual and olfactory (scent) evidence of their presence.

As usual, there will always be a few local bears that wander off to the wrong place, as their keen sense of smell leads them to a birdfeeder or a collection of trash cans where they can find a ripe meal.

IÕ m old enough to recall the days when local folks would pile into the family station wagon, and drive off to the local dump to watch the bears. It was a popular means of entertainment, especially after all the local Drive In theatres closed down. Times sure have changed.

According to the DEC, black bears are curious, and opportunistic, creatures that quickly learn by association. All of these factors combine to produce frequent camper/bear interactions and problems. Bears are often attracted by enticing odors and soon they learn to overcome their natural fear of people as they attempt to obtain garbage or the camperÕ s food, usually after dark.

The weight of a bear tends to vary according to age, sex, health, and season, with large males tipping the scales at 600 lbs. or more; while the average bear ranges between 150-300 lbs. Females tend to be a bit smaller, but they can also reach greater weights under the right conditions.

Pre-den weights tend to be 30% higher than in spring, when black bears first emerge from their dens. The largest reported bear in New York State weighed approximately 750 lbs (live weight).

While black bears may often appear awkward and cumbersome as they plod along with their nose in the air, they are actually very fleet of foot and have been clocked at over 30 miles per hour. Despite their usual slow, methodical, pigeon-toe, gait, they can disappear in the blink of an eye. Although their eyesight is not always the best, their sense of smell is incredible.

Bear are omnivorous and eat vegetation including berries, fruits, plants and nuts which provides nearly 85 percent of their

www.timesofti.com

diet. They also eat fish, insects, small mammals and carrion; and their uncanny sense of smell, allows them to locate and prey on newborn whitetail fawns during the spring, and beehives during the summer months.

With an ever-expanding population, New York state is now home to an estimated population of 6000-7000 black bear; and while the Adirondacks have long been recognized for hosting the largest, bear population in the state; there are rapidly burgeoning bear populations throughout the southern tier of New York state.

According to DEC research, a bearÕ s weight tends to vary according to age, sex, health, and season, with large specimens exceeding 600 lbs with the average being between 150-300 lbs.

Females tend to be a bit smaller, but can also reach greater weights under the right conditions. Pre-den weights tend to be 30% higher than in spring, when black bears emerge from their dens.

According to DEC, the largest bear taken in New York State came from Franklin County in 1975. It weighed approximately 750 lbs (live weight) and stood nearly 7 feet tall.

However, the average black bear ranges from 4 -6 feet in length while walking on all fours and stands about 2-3 feet at the shoulder. Although the average NY state, black bear weighs between 150-300 lbs. according to DEC, thereÕ s growing evidence of much larger specimens across the northeast, including a 776 pound black bear (live weight) that set a New Jersey state record when it was taken on Dec. 8, 2012.

The ink used to record the New Jersey State record bruin was barely dry when an 829-pound black bear (live weight) was taken the following day to break the former state record.

In recent years, there have also been some huge black bears taken in Pennsylvania including a 772 live weight specimen in 2013 and a monster, 829-pound live weight black bear thatproved to be one of the biggest black bears ever taken in North America. While the big, 772 pound bruin was not the heaviest black bear ever taken by a hunter, it had an enormous skull that scored 23 9/16 inches, and earned 50-year-old, Daniel Beavers, who killed the bear, a spot in the Boone and Crockett Club World Record book for the largest, black bear ever taken by a hunter.

Despite the impressive weight of the recent specimens, the current world record is a 733-pound black bear with a skull measuring 23 9⁄16 inches that was taken by Robert Christian of East Stroudsburg, PA in 2011.

Despite their incredible size and stature, Adirondack bears remain very wary of humans, and they try to avoid people at all costs, especially at this time of year, when bears are especially alert to outside scents in their immediate vicinity.

It is always wise to stay a long distance away from a sow with cubs, during the spring of the year. It is also wise to keep your distance from any bear moving rapidly through the forest with its nose to the ground.

Although black bears have a sharp sense of smell that that can reportedly pick up human scent from over a mile distant; they have relatively poor eyesight. As a result, itÕ s often easy to observe them as they go about their business, if you are downwind, and remain quiet and still.

If you do happen to encounter a bear by mistake, they will typically scoot off as fast as their four paws will take then, and when threatened, they will typically vocalize with a huffing or

Times of Ti • May 2, 2015 | 19 woofing sound, before they hustle off into the distance.

The most dangerous encounters involve surprising a sow while in the presence of her cubs, or while near a food source. In such an incidence, it is important to make noise, and back away slowly while maintaining eye contact.

In the course of my 40-plusyear career in the woods, IÕ ve only come across a half dozen bruins, and I was never threatened. In fact, the only bear encounters I recall hearing about in recent years include a elderly lady in Old Forge who confronted a bear in her cabin and touched off a shot, and a young lady hiking along the Northville Placid Trail, who reportedly stabbed a cub bear with a knife, after being threatened by it.

Fortunately, NYSDEC has developed a variety of Bear Management policies intended to protect both black bear populations, and human populations. With a healthy, thriving population of bears across the state, it has become more common for hikers, campers and other outdoor enthusiasts to observe bear while afield.

Backpackers and hikers in the High Peaks Wilderness must now carry food, and garbage in bear proof containers. Homeowners have also become more aware of scavenging bears, robbing garbage or raiding bird feeders, especially during the spring.

Unfortunately, bears adapt to living around people much easier than people adapt to living around bears, and while bear/ human encounters remain relatively rare; the opportunity is ever present with an estimated black bear population of five to six thousand animals in the Adirondack Region and 500-600 in the Catskill Region. The Allegany Region contains about 100- 200 bears, and the population continues to grow.

In the effort to control bear populations, State officials have expanded hunting seasons statewide, with special early bear seasons in parts of the Catskills and the western Hudson Valley.

The new regs resulted in a record number of bears being taken in New York’s Southern Zone the 2014 season. Statewide, hunters took 1,628 black bears last season, including 1,110 in the Southern Zone, which represents a13 percent increase over the previous year and well above the record total of 983 taken in 2011.

Ulster County produced the highest number of bears killed of any county in the state with a total of 192. Traditionally, the honor Ô Best Bear CountryÕ in NY state has been shared by the Adirondack counties of Hamilton, Essex and Franklin which have been responsible for producing the largest bears and the greatest total harvest of bears in the state.

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

While black bear are generally cautious around humans, it is not unusual to find one in the backyard or at the birdfeeder at times, and of course, at playtime.

Power Express project gains permit

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Developers pursuing a 333-mile power line to bring electricity from the Canada border, through the Hudson Valley and down to New York City, say they have gained a key federal permit needed to advance the project.

Transmission Developers Inc. announced last week that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a Department of the Army permit, which will allow the Champlain Hudson Power Express project to be placed in waters of the U.S. The hydroelectric line is to be installed underground and underwater, originating at the U.S.-Canada border and running the length of Lake Champlain and through parts of the Hudson River to New York City.

According to the statement, the permit means the project has secured all of the federal and state siting permits necessary to proceed with construction.

TDI CEO Donald Jessome said in the statement that the approval comes after an extremely Ò thorough and detailed review.Ó “The terms of the permit reaffirm that our project will take appropriate steps to protect New YorkÕ s environmental and commercial resources, and we are excited to have moved substantially closer to the moment when we will begin to deliver cleaner, lower-cost power to New YorkÕ s residents and businesses,Ó Jessome said.

The project was launched in 2008, with the intent of bringing a new source of power to customers throughout the region. Project proponents say it would save consumers millions in electrical costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create 2,400 jobs.

That estimated number comes from a detailed economic analysis conducted by the developers for a firm called London Economics, Rush said. Additionally, they said the project will also diversify the stateÕ s energy portfolio and increase the electric gridÕ s safety and security by creating new, hardened infrastructure that is less susceptible to damage from natural disasters.

Tentative timeline calls for an early 2016 start to construction, with it concluding in mid-2019. Andrew Rush, a spokesman for the development group, said in an email that no specific date has been set for groundbreaking. Rush said an economic analysis conducted by a firm called London Economics showed that the 2,400 jobs would be created over the first 10 years of the line’s operation.

TDI will use local labor whenever possible, Rush said. .
